Chapter 312 Settlement
Osborne Group Building.

"Mr. Eldridge, I feel sad for what happened to Mr. Lin Jue of your company. How much has he contributed to America? He has created hundreds of thousands of jobs, but the American government actually let him suffer a terrorist attack in the center of New York City..."

The words, tinged with sadness, echoed in the empty reception room on the top floor of Osborne.

Aldridge remained silent. He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city below. A hint of scarlet flashed in his eyes. More and more reporters were like flies smelling sweetness. Not long after he arrived at the Osborne Group, those reporters had already surrounded the entrance of the Osborne Group.

After a long period of no response, Norman Osborn looked a little embarrassed, but he was not angry because of Aldridge's silence.

Who would have thought that in just one night, the capital market in New York would undergo such earth-shaking changes.

And all this was just because of one person.

The Eternal Night Company controls more than 90% of the shares of each branch, and the Duke of Eternal Night, as the direct helmsman of the Eternal Night main company, controls 100% of the shares of the Eternal Night main company.

The accident involving the Grand Duke of Evernight was equivalent to a heavy blow to the Evernight main company. As a result, all the major branches under Evernight, including Evernight Arms, Evernight Biology, Evernight Medical, and even some emerging industries such as Evernight Marvel, suffered serious blows.

Especially the newly established entertainment industry, Evernight Marvel. It is said that this film and television company is one of Evernight’s most important projects in recent years, with an initial investment of more than 100 million US dollars.

This is simply unbelievable in today's America, but now, the development of Evernight Marvel Studios has come to a sudden standstill due to the turmoil in the parent company.

It was attacked by other American film and television companies, and a large number of excellent film and television producers it recruited were poached. It can be said that it was torn apart.

This caused a huge uproar in the American entertainment industry, and several artists that were originally planned to be signed were also suspended.

This is just a microcosm of the Eternal Night Company.

If Marvel Studios did not have huge liquidity, the entire company would probably no longer exist.

Small industries suffered a fatal blow, and large industries were also shaking. As for the person in front of him, Norman Osborn mourned for half a second in his heart.

Aldridge controlled the Evernight Fund, the largest pillar industry of Evernight Company. In just one night, he was attacked by major securities companies and fund companies on Wall Street, and his situation was precarious.

If it were any other company, it would have been killed by the stock market long ago. This is because 90% of the shares of Eternal Night Fund are controlled by the Eternal Night Group. Otherwise, it would be the most dangerous branch among the major industries of the Eternal Night Group!
The Wall Street stock market was frantically shorting the shares of Evernight's pillar industries. The turbulent stock market was set off by the death of Evernight's helmsman, causing huge waves.

All the capital seemed to have gone crazy, trying to devour and divide up the Eternal Night Capital.

A trace of worry flashed across Norman Osborn's face. For the Osborn Group, the newly established Eternal Night Biotechnology was still in the early stages of development and had not even been listed on the market. There was no way for them to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Now even the billion U.S. dollars of financing that was delivered to them was about to disappear.

"There is no friendship in front of capital, only eternal interests. We had signed a cooperation agreement before, but just because a flaw was exposed, these guys were willing to pay a huge penalty to take a bite. They are a typical group of jackals!"

A sneer appeared on Aldridge's lips. As a business genius who had acquired various companies, he had seen through all the methods of these guys, both overt and covert.

Not only was he not worried about the current situation, he even smelled a hint of something that would take Eternal Night to the next level.

"Mr. Eldridge, we at Osborne Group deeply sympathize with your company's current situation, and I can promise that we at Osborne Bio will never add fuel to the fire for your company."

Norman Osborn quickly took sides and explained that although he was also envious, as he was also a member of a giant American potential company, he could see things more clearly than those guys who were controlled by capital.

Yongye is not so easy to deal with. Apart from the listed pillar industries, Yongye’s core assets have no plans to be listed. If they are not listed, they will not be controlled by capital.

No matter how much fun these guys make, they can probably only get some scraps. After studying Aldridge for a period of time, he deeply understands that once the Eternal Night has recovered, those jackals will be facing a crazy blow.

Turning slowly, Aldridge looked at Norman Osborn with a smile.

"Mr. Norman, you know, due to the matter of Evernight Company, we are eager to bring Miss Eve back to Evernight, so I have to come to your company ahead of time at this juncture."

"I know. I hope the news of Ms. Eve becoming a senior executive of Evernight can temporarily calm down the previous disturbance a little bit."

"Well, I'm glad you understand! We are eager to get some important news so that Yongye's situation will not look so bad in front of the world."

"Again, thank you for the help of the Osborne Group."

Looking at Aldridge who bowed slightly and did not mention a word about the billion dollar financing, Norman Osborn, who was originally a little hesitant, felt a little regretful.

Such a huge investment originally made him wary, because he preferred to hold the shares in his own hands, but when he saw that the investment was gone, he felt a sense of loss. Sometimes people's emotions are like this, they don't cherish what they get, and only feel regret when they lose it.

Aldridge saw all the subtle changes in Norman Osborn's expression, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The timing is just right!
"Mr. Norman, in order to express our sincere gratitude to you and our appreciation for the Osborne Group, our company will still fulfill the one billion US dollar financing proposal. We plan to acquire 20% of your company's shares. I wonder what Mr. Norman thinks!"

"You still have a billion dollars?"

Norman Osborn was stunned, and looked in disbelief at Eldridge, who had a serious look on his face.

You must know that given Yongye's current situation, the huge amount of cash of one billion US dollars should be used to consolidate the shares of Yongye's pillar industries. Once injected into it, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the current capital turmoil.

But now, Aldridge has left his own company alone and is still willing to pay out 10 billion US dollars.

From this, the clever Norman Osborn smelled something unusual.

Yongye Company is hiding its shortcomings!
Shit! The Eternal Night Group definitely possesses a huge amount of funds beyond our imagination. It seems that they are doing a great job and spending money like crazy, but in fact, they still have some spare money!

The thoughts in his mind switched rapidly in a flash, and no matter how scheming Norman Osborn was, he couldn't hide the shock on his face.

“Shouldn’t your company need this money more to maintain the company?”

"Haha, Mr. Norman, you don't know that, at present, in addition to those major entertainment industries, there are also companies in the real estate sector that have been listed by the Evernight Group. The core capital of the Evernight Group has no intention of going public at all. As long as they cannot shake the core of Evernight Capital, they will never be able to completely defeat Evernight.

The film, medical, biological and other new industries under Yongye are just minor details. The original high stock price is just due to the current popularity of Yongye Company. Even if those people sell off in large quantities, it will not affect the interests of Yongye. Instead, it will allow us to further gather more branch industries. "

"..."

"If that's the case, it seems that I was worrying too much. Your company is more powerful than we thought!"

Norman smacked his lips but secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. Looking at Aldridge who seemed unusually calm in front of him, Norman Osborn knew that this guy in front of him was showing off his strength to him.

Judging from the limited information, the Eternal Night Fund is undoubtedly the core industry of Eternal Night Capital and controls most of the cash of Eternal Night Capital. His words show that the Eternal Night Group still has sufficient funds.

It was as if he was just standing by and watching his children being beaten one after another. Once the storm was over, he would definitely take action as a parent, using this as an excuse to plunder the flesh and blood of those jackals.

hiss……

His expression changed quickly, and Norman Osborn forced a smile on his face: "I have no doubt about the strength of your company, but 20% of the shares worth one billion US dollars..."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Mr. Norman, I am sincere this time. One billion US dollars. Judging from your company's current stock price, it can at least reach 21%. In addition, you also know the current situation of our Evernight..."

"But, at present, Osborne Group has just signed cooperation agreements with several biomaterial companies. A breakthrough will be made in drug research in a certain area, which will definitely bring a huge leap forward for our Yongye Group. To be honest, the current stock price is just our foundation!"

Norman Osborn frowned. 20% of the shares was equivalent to cutting off an arm of their Osborn family. Even though one billion US dollars was extremely tempting and could greatly accelerate the development of the Osborn Group, the hidden pros and cons still forced him to think carefully.

"What if 20% of the shares, plus the cooperation of Yongye Biology?"

"Eternal Night Creature?"

Norman Osborn looked puzzled.

Yongye Bio is just a newly established pillar industry of Yongye Group. It seems to have recruited many talents in biomedicine, but in fact it is just getting started. It is obvious who will gain the advantage in its cooperation with Osborne Group.

With Aldridge's ability, it's impossible not to see it!

"Eternal Night Biology can cooperate with us by bringing out a werewolf specimen we recently acquired!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Eldridge's mouth, and his words made Norman Osborn stand up from the sofa instantly.
