Salute To The General

Chapter 176 With Me Around No One Will Dare To Bully You

Penny Smith was slightly startled by her husband's reply. However, immediately after, she figured out

the meaning of his words.

If her grandpa and two uncles each held 20% of the company's shares, they would occupy 60% of the

shares in total.

That would make them the majority shareholders of the company, and they would hold the decisive

vote in any matters concerning Cross Corporation.

According to Nathan Cross's counterproposition, the shares that Sean Smith and his sons were entitled

to would only equate to 30% of the company's total shares. That meant that the final decision of any

company matters would still be in Penny Smith's hands.

Sean, Samuel and Paul widened their eyes and said in dissatisfaction, "You mean our nine hundred

million is only worth 30% of your company's shares?"

Nathan Cross replied indifferently, "If you think this is a losing proposition for you, you don't have to

force yourselves to take it up. Besides, even if you become our shareholders, you will only be common

shareholders who receive dividends and would not be involved in making day-to-day decisions."

Sean Smith and his sons' original plan was to own more than half of the company's shares among the

three of them and have a controlling interest in Cross Corporation. This way, it would make it easier for

them to seize the company entirely.

They had not expected Nathan Cross to see through their scheme.

Even though the three men deeply resented Nathan, they hid their true feelings as they had their eyes

on the Cross Group's fortune. Smiling ear to ear, they replied, "Okay, let's just do as you say then."

on the very day itself, Penny Smith signed a contract with her grandpa and two uncles,

the three men would put in nine hundred million in total, and occupy 30% of Cross

total shares.
