Winning Her Heart Back

nelle smiled instead. 

Cupter 573 Cambling 

Outside the church, Inele w jodle’s hesitation, so she said, “Jodle, you can tell me what you think.” 

Jodiebowal “Miss, perhaps your approach was a bit too direct,” 

Encle replied. “To deal with a stubborn conservative like him, directness is the most effective approach. We have to make it hurt for them to cooperate.” 

“But what if they still refuse to cooperate?” she asked. 

Jodie had never seen such a negociation tactic before “Provoking him will only make the acquisition harder. I thought you were going to have a proper discussion with Jaime today. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Do you think I made a mistake? Emelle asked. 

Jodie hesitated before saying, “I wouldn’t dare.” 

Emelie smiled. “You’re not my subordinate, so you’re free to express your thoughts. What are your thoughts?” 

Jodie pursed her lips. “Jaime is a stubborn person. The Filo Group had conveyed the same message but in a tactful manner during previous negotiation rounds, yet Jaime still stood firm and didn’t waner.” 

was wrong. This wouldn’t be able to change his mind and make him 

So, if Emelie believed that storming in and showcasing her “unique” personality would sway faime, then she was w accept the acquisition. This wasn’t a television drama, and expecting things to have a perfect ending was unrealistic. Emelie glanced back at the church 

This was the Mercianna Cathedral, constructed in the 5th century. It was revered as a “basilica“, a symbol of significance. 

She said with a double entendre, “Truecalismanship.” 

She was praising both the church and Jame 

His stubbornness was difficult for most to comprehend. However, from another perspective, without individuals like him possessing an almost pathological insistence, traditional handicrafts and the spirit of craftsmanship passed down through generations might have already vanished. It would be a regrettable loss. 

Moreover, Emelie’s primary objective for this visit was not to persuade Jaime, She had her own plan, and she didn’t intend to tell jodie the details. 

Emelie asked, “Can Tuse the Fila Group’s funds to purchase SAM’s shares?” 

“You would need to have a proposal that the board approves to secure funding,” Jodie replied. 

“That won’t do. We don’t have much time and can’t afford delays. Which investment banks in Mercianna have strong relationships with Wesley?” Emelie asked 

Jodie pondered for a moment “Most major investment banks have a good relationship with Mr. Graham” 

Emelie nodded. “Take me to the three that hold the highest regard for Wesley.” 

Although Jode wasn’t sure about Emelie’s intentions, Wesley had instructed her to follow Emelie’s orders. So, Jodie complied. 

Emele got in the backseat while Jodie got in the passenger seat 

Jodie provided the driver with the destination and then turned to ask Emelle, “Are you planning to borrow money from the investment banks? 

Emelle had come up with a comprehensive strategy the previous night. “I’m going to do business with them.” 

Jodie was confused “Business?” 

The car cruised along the road. The spacious backseat of the luxury car allowed Emelle to cross her legs. She was examining the stock market on her tablet. 

“I plan to sign a gambling contract with them,” Emelie said. 

“A gambling contract?” Jodie asked. 

“Yes. Today is the 14th. 1 will wager with them that by the 28th, SAM’s stock price will rise from 25 dollars per share to 50 dollars per share. Regardless of whether it rises or falls, 1 will purchase the shares from them at 50 dollars,” Emelie explained 

This proposal perplexed Jodie. “But what if the stock price doesn’t reach so dollars by the 25th? Won’t we incur a loss? And where will we get the money to pay the investment banks? It’s impossible that the Filo Group will back a contract like this. They won’t give you the funds.” 

Emelie took her phone and typed on it while responding, “I will sign the contract with the investment banks in my personal capacity. I don’t need the Filo Group’s approval.” jodie wanted to ask where Emelie was going to get the money. Was she planning to ask Wesley? But wouldn’t that violate the roles of the challenger? 

Jodie didn’t understand at all. 

Emelle didn’t explain further, purposely leaving Jodie in suspense 

mse. She then sent a message she had typed. 

“Wesley, can use your name as a guarantee to sign a gambling contract with the investment banks? Does this count as cheating?” Emelie asked 

Wesley replied, “No. Go ahead.” 

Emelie felt reassured and kept her phone away. She looked up at Jodie and said, “I lack the necessary funds, but rest assured, I won’t ask Wesley for a single penny. This deal is a guaranteed win.” 

The investment banks shared the same perspective. It was akin to a money tree walking through their doors. If the stock price tailed to reach 50 dollars, they would reap substantial profits. If it did, they would still profit, as their cost was only 25 dolars. 

The three investment banks weren’t losing anything in this deal. Hence, they readily signed the gambling contract with Emelie. 

As a result, Emelie acquired 4.9% of SAM’s shares from each of the three investment banks at dollars per share. The 49% acquisition was deliberate, as she would need to report in regulatory authorities if it exceeded 5%, which could alert SAM 

Jorbe finally understood tmelie’s strategy. 

She was discreetly burping up :SAM’s shares. With a combined 15.7% from the three investment banks, Emelie was now SAM’s second–Lugest shareholder, second only to Jahme.
