Chapter 951 The Rise of Sakon Yusuke

"He knows?" Sakon Yusuke's expression changed slightly. He had hidden it very well, so in theory, he shouldn't have been found out.

"You underestimate rich people. As long as you have money, it's easy to find out some things."

Guan Xu patted Sakon Yusuke on the back, "Since you're here, you must have that intention too, right?"

"Let's act together and cut the Gordian knot."

Sakon Yusuke's eyes flickered, and after a while he said helplessly, "But if Uncle Kondo is alright, what should we do after he is discharged from the hospital?"

In fact, he had already thought about why he came.

Cooperate with the other party, and then kill President Kondo.

But these words cannot come from his mouth; they must come from Guan Xu's mouth.

He wanted to test the other party's sincerity.

If he dares to say it out loud, and then records it, then they'll be practically in the same boat.

He knew Guan Xu very well; he was extremely ambitious.

"He wants to be discharged?" Guan Xu sneered. "That's impossible."

"I heard that someone tried to assassinate someone at the hospital last night, but failed."

The Kondo family did not spread the news, but since it was Beika General Hospital, the commotion was quite significant, and many patients knew about it, so the news inevitably spread.

"Given the situation, do you have any other options?"

A light appeared in Sakon Yusuke's eyes.

If the other party can really do it, then cooperation is a good thing.

However, Mr. Guan Xu is a bit arrogant and stubborn. With this expression on his face, it's really not easy to gain his trust.

However, it's fine if we express a slightly benevolent inclination.

He didn't want to go directly to the master, since going to him at this time would likely result in severe punishment.

"Of course, as long as you're willing to cooperate, we can get our hands on Kondo Riai's shares in the next couple of days."

Guan Xu patted his chest confidently.

"Is there any explanation?"

Sakon Yusuke's eyes gleamed, his gaze sharp. "Besides, Sato Riai's shares aren't so easily swindled. You need to understand, our love is genuine."

Guan Xu scoffed and shook his head: "You don't need to know that. I don't care whether you and Kondo Rie are truly in love or not. I just want you to keep pace with each other and not give the other shareholders any time to react."

Kondo Import & Export Co. is indeed a private company, but it is a publicly listed company with a number of shareholders, both large and small.

If things are slow to move, shareholders will unite, which could affect the election of the president.

Too much volatility will also affect the stock market. When the market value fluctuates, the losses will all be the money in Guan Xujiuyou's pocket.

Yes, he has already made Kondo Import & Export Company his own business, and after succeeding, he even wanted to change its name to Seki Asahi Import & Export Company.

There won't be any problems.

Yesterday, a special investigator from the IRS contacted me, intending to take advantage of the situation to do something shady.

He initially disagreed, but the other party only wanted a sum of money, not shares or the company, which was a huge temptation for him.

After confirming the other party's identity, he agreed.

As for how to deal with President Kondo, the special investigator didn't say, but it's most likely related to tax matters.

With the IRS having undergone reforms less than a year ago, this state apparatus poses a significant threat to capitalists and businesses. Once arrested, it's essentially a done deal, with no possibility of release.

And now, the opportunity has appeared behind them.

Guan Xujiu glanced at himself. With this kind of opportunity, even if he were a pig, he could fly up and dance in the sky.

"Mr. Guan Xu, now that we've already started working together, shouldn't you tell me your plans?"

"Sorry, this is a trade secret."

Guan Xujiu shook his head: "You know I wouldn't lie to you about something like this."

He glanced at the young man in front of him and said with a half-smile, "I don't think you're stupid. You should have recorded it just now, right? Are you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Sakon Yusuke's eye twitched, and he glanced at the other person in surprise before his smile turned serious: "It seems that Mr. Guan Xu also has a master backing him."

"Hmph, just focus on doing your job well, and you'll reap the rewards later. Kondo Riai is such an ordinary woman, do you really want to spend your life with her?"

"Once I get the shares, I'll find a way to kick her out!"

Sakon Yusuke didn't speak, he just nodded slightly.

The following sentence didn't really matter to him. Whether it was Guan Xujiuyu or Kondo Riai, as long as they successfully obtained Kondo Import and Export Company, they would need to be dealt with!

He lowered his head to conceal his murderous intent, then looked up with a broad smile: "In that case, President Guan Xujiu, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"It's a pleasure working with you, future Director Yusuke Sakon."

The two laughed wildly, and to the caddies behind them, their smiles looked like those of two jackals with their jaws wide open in a ferocious display.

In the distance, Xia Chuan put away his binoculars.

"The groundwork is almost laid. Just wait until you succeed in taking action against Kondo Riai and are ready to make your mark at the Kondo Company board meeting, then I'll deliver the fatal blow!"

Such meticulous preparation, with danger and opportunity coexisting, prevents it from appearing contrived.

Next, we'll make him fail at the board meeting. When things get really tough, he'll definitely go after Karasuma Renya.

This is Xia Chuan's purpose.

Frank's investigation found no other individuals suspected of being "close confidants" around Yusuke Sakon.

Therefore, this is the only way to stimulate Sakon Yusuke's emotions, make him lose his judgment, and make him panic, so that he will definitely think of Karasuma Renya.

Guan Xujiuyou was someone carefully selected by Xia Chuan.

He harbors ambitions beyond his capabilities and owns a large number of shares in Kondo Import & Export Company, making him the perfect person to be exploited.

However, on the other hand, cooperating with myself at least means I can survive, and after spending twenty years in prison, I'll be a hero again.

If it were Sakon Yusuke, he would definitely kill him later.

This is not surprising. If Karasuma Renya wants to control Kondo Import & Export Company, he must get rid of this person, which will also serve as a way to remove any leverage against him.

The following day, a piece of news spread like wildfire within Kondo Import & Export Company.

"Have you heard? The assassin has actually succeeded in killing the president, but the shareholders are deliberately keeping the news from us because they are worried about the impact on the stock price."

"Sigh, I wonder what will happen to the company in the future. What will we do if it goes bankrupt?"

"Impossible, someone will definitely be able to take over."

"Hehe, you all don't know, do you? I heard that Ms. Kondo is going to marry Yusuke Sakon from the Public Relations Department. He will be the new head of the Kondo family."

"Where did this news come from?"

The rumors became increasingly outrageous, and some shareholders even heard some of them.

In the past few days, none of the shareholders have made any public appearances within the company, but everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, just two days later, the shareholders with the largest stakes contacted everyone and convened an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

The once quiet Kondo Import & Export Company suddenly became lively, with paparazzi already waiting at the door for the meeting results.

The employees were also distracted from their work, and mistakes were frequently made.

Because they knew that this upcoming meeting could influence the company's development for a long time to come.

It was noisy outside, and not much better inside the meeting room. There were about twenty shareholders of varying sizes.

Among them are shareholder representatives, shareholders holding only 0.1% of the shares, and large shareholders like Guan Xujiuyou, who hold as much as 14%.

"Alright, you can quiet down now." Guan Xu tapped the table. "Everyone's almost here. We can start the meeting now."

"Isn't it right?"

One of the shareholders, whose shares were not much less than Guan Xu's, stood up and said, "Li Ai hasn't arrived yet. After the president's accident, she had the largest share, so logically she should be in charge of this meeting."

"And," the man stared at one of them for a long time before finally asking, "Sakon Yusuke, what are you doing here? I remember you were suspended by the president. And what's the connection between your public relations department and the shareholders' meeting?"

He thought to himself, "They can't possibly be planning to lobby the shareholders, can they?"
But they're all our own people, so any business will definitely be handled by the company. What's the point of public relations about that?

Could it be that.
He had a vague feeling that it was related to the rumors circulating among the employees in the past few days.

Sakon Yusuke, who had been looking down and fiddling with his pen, smiled and looked up when he heard someone call out to him.

He flashed what he thought was a warm smile, meeting everyone's gaze and scanning their faces.

The meeting room fell silent; everyone stopped talking and all eyes were on the young man.

Sakon Yusuke is nearly thirty years old, but compared to the shareholders present, he is indeed just a young man.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

Guan Xu's eyes were almost blind when he smiled, and he looked incredibly irritating, as if he were provoking someone.

"Mr. Sakon Yusuke now owns 15 percent of the shares, thanks to a gift from Ms. Kondo Riai."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and tension.

The confusion stems from the significant equity change, and the fact that Guan Xujiuyou also knows about it suggests he might be planning something.

"That's not right. I remember that the transfer of shares requires a seven-day verification period."

It hasn't even been seven days since President Kondo's accident. As someone who values ​​equity highly, he certainly wouldn't give his shares to Sakon Yusuke.

So it must have been recently acquired.

"What's wrong with that?" Sakon Yusuke raised an eyebrow, noted the small shareholder's words, and then said, "Riya and I are truly in love, and we're getting our marriage certificate in a few days."

"Because she didn't have much time to manage the company, she handed over the authority to me and introduced Mr. Guan Xu to help me."

He stood up abruptly from his seat and strode forward.

Everyone was watching him, watching the direction he was heading.

There is an empty seat in that direction.

That's President Kondo's reserved seat.

Even if the person hasn't arrived, the seat is still prepared.

Sakon Yusuke walked to the back of his seat, leaned against the backrest, and said with a smile, "I believe no one will object, right?"

It's now quite clear that he and Guan Xujiuyou together hold 29% of the shares. In the absence of the president, the combined votes of the others are needed to oppose them.

The premise is that these people can unite.

"President Kondo's fate is unknown. What are you two planning to do here, singing in unison?"

"Yes, they even held a board meeting. It can't be what I'm thinking, right?"

Some people were looking at them with ill intent.

Even if power needs to be redistributed, they should be informed in advance. They were completely unprepared and their intentions are not good.

"I, Guan Xu, have worked at Kondo Import & Export Co., Ltd. for so many years. There shouldn't be any problem with me holding a shareholders' meeting, right?"

"As you have seen in the past few days, after the president's incident, the stock price has dropped significantly, employees have been making frequent mistakes, and some people have even been abusing their positions for personal gain."

Guan Xujiu's gaze sharpened. Even with his height, the oppressive aura of someone in a superior position remained.

Everyone stopped talking.

Indeed, with the president absent, these two individuals' shares are practically usable on their heads.

"So what are you planning to do?"

Sakon Yusuke didn't answer, but lowered his head and pulled his chair back a little.

Guan Xu smiled, stood up, and walked to his seat.

Instead of sitting down, he looked at the others, swept his finger across them, and asked in a smug way, "By the way, you guys don't have any objections, right?"

"I heard that people from the National Tax Service went to Beika General Hospital to see the president last night."

"Although I don't know his purpose, I feel that it will be difficult for him to hold meetings with us in the short term."

This statement has a slightly threatening tone, but it is also the truth.

The spread of this news naturally contributed to the rapid gathering of these shareholders.

Everyone was worried that the National Taxation Bureau was preparing to take action against Kondo Import & Export Company.

"It seems they have no objections."

Guan Xu nodded in satisfaction and sat down.

"oops!"

The smile vanished from his face, and Guan Xujiu turned around to glare angrily at Zuo Jinxi.

Sakon Yusuke pulled his seat back a lot, so he didn't sit down and instead plopped down on the ground.

It's strangely cold.

"Sakon Yusuke, what are you doing?" Kanxu Jiuyou whispered angrily.

"You have 14%, I have 15%, shouldn't I be the one sitting here?"

Guan Xujiu's expression was unpredictable, but in the end he didn't say anything, just snorted and stood up, patting his butt.

"Mr. Guan Xu's legs aren't very good, he was indeed a bit careless, please be more careful next time."

Sakon Yusuke explained with a smile, then sat down in the most important chair in the company.

It wasn't as comfortable as I had imagined.

Sakon Yusuke shifted his position, feeling that the chair was just so-so.

However, the fearful and worried looks from the crowd made him very proud.

What kind of torment did he endure when he first joined the company?

Fortunately, I managed to contact Riai Kondo later, otherwise this day would never have come.

It must be said that the gentleman is very capable, managing to let an ordinary employee meet the company's young lady and even orchestrating a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario.

Leaving aside the digression, Sakon Yusuke pulled his chair forward and placed his hands on the table, folded over each other.

"Please sit down," he said sternly.

"This"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

"Sit down!" Guan Xujiu suddenly said.

I thought the two had broken up, but it seems Guan Xujiuyou held back!
Many people secretly regretted it and obediently sat down.
