Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 210

For the next while, Susan continued her deep dive into research and development.

Meanwhile, Ben found the time to keep up with some gossip, which he relayed to Susan in a joking tone.

After listening, Susan couldn’t help but show a bemused expression.

Carl, in a desperate attempt to scrape together twenty million dollars, had sold 10% of his shares at rock–bottom prices, yet he still remained the largest shareholder.

He was now set on making a name for himself within Space Technologies, determined to recoup his losses. Carl had a history of barely keeping a million–dollar company afloat, stumbling along break–even.

Yet, he fancied himself a business prodigy, believing he had merely lacked the right opportunity to showcase his talents.

Now in charge of the vast Space Technologies, he was eager to prove himself and do something monumental.

After taking the reins, Carl set off three measures–streamlining the workforce, redefining the development plan, and aggressively expanding into new ventures

The result of these measures was that, a month in, Space Technologies‘ situation hadn’t improved but had, in fact, worsened significantly.

“Now, Carl believes he’s done nothing wrong, that the losses are due to his staff’s duplicity. But the other shareholders have lost faith in him. According to the information I control, they’re about to convene a board meeting to formally impeach him,” Ben said casually.

Susan wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

Carl had always been incompetent. It wasn’t surprising to see such an outcome.

What surprised her slightly was that Carl had managed to make such a mess of things in just one month.

He was truly a ‘business genius‘ in his own right.

“And Carl’s troubles don’t end there,” Ben raised an eyebrow. “According to the will Timothy had set up in advance, his wealth goes to Yana and the child. But after inheriting the wealth, Yana is required to donate at least ten million dollars to the foundation annually, a commitment that must be maintained for at least five years. Initially, with the value of the shares she held, donating ten million dollars a year would have been effortless for Yana, even if she did nothing. But with Carl’s mismanagement causing Space Technologies to collapse, the annual dividends they’ll receive are unlikely to meet that ten million mark. If they fail to fulfill this donation obligation, they could lose their inheritance rights to the shares.”

dividends would have been a breeze.

But his obsession with power led to the company’s downfall.

As the largest shareholder, Carl’s stubbornness and refusal to relinquish control, coupled with the other shareholders‘ desire to unseat him, left Space Technologies in a state of internal chaos.

If the company was not stable, how could it develop?

Susan fell into a contemplative silence.

“What’s the matter? Can’t let go?”
