Chapter 305


    Matthew still looked unflustered as usual.


    He had not heard of Leonard the Acupuncturist, but he had absolute confidence in the medical


    knowledge of his family which had been passed down from one generation to the next.


    “Everyone, please don’t worry because I know exactly what I’m doing. I’m sure we won’t be the loser


    this time!” Matthew promised.


    “Who’re you trying to fool? Dr. Ellis is going toe out of seclusion and Leonard the Acupuncturist is


    going to be there too. Do you have any idea how much of a big shot they are? The Six Southern States


    Medical Conference is going to be participated by people with the best medical skills from each state.


    What makes you think you canpete with them? This isn’t an investment and you’re just throwing


    our money away! We won’t approve this investment in any case!”


    The shareholders started an outcry as they did not approve the investment.


    Charlie sneered triumphantly, “Oh, Matthew, I didn’t think you were actually capable enough to


    that you know is sure to fail. Matthew, you have my admiration!”


    The rest of the Cunninghams roared withughter as they eyed Matthew in a disdainful way. In their


    perception, Matthew was clearly asking for trouble by participating in the medical conference.


    Stanley smacked the table and chided, “Why are you guys making noise again? Didn’t I make myself


    clear enough just now? I can purchase the shares from anyone of you who doesn’t approve of this


    investment with a premium of 10%! Juste over here and sign the share transfer agreement, and I


    will transfer the money to you guys right now!”


    The shareholders nced at each other, not daring to speak at the moment.


    They had no choice but to behave themselves because Stanley was way above them in terms of social


    status in Eastcliff.

    Stanley growled, “If none of you is going to say anything, I will assume that everyone approves!”


    Finally, one of the shareholders couldn’t resist his offer and said immediately, “I-I don’t mean to object


    to the investment but it just so happens that my family is facing some issues and we’re in need of cash.


    I’ll transfer my shares to you…”


    Following that shareholder who broke the silence, the rest of the shareholders soon went uproarious as


    all of them were eager to sell their shares to Stanley with various excuses.


    Eric was more decisive than everyone else because he sold every single one of his shares of the


    In fact, Eric and his family had been thinking of selling their shares but they just had yet to find a


    suitable buyer.


    They would be a fool if they did not sell their shares to Stanley, an easymark who offered to buy them


    at a premium of 10%.


    Atst, around 70% of the shareholders had sold their shares.


    The remaining 30% of the shareholders decided not to sell after some contemtion.


    Eric knew one of them and he couldn’t help but advice, “Jefford, why don’t you seize such a good


    chance to get rid of your shares? The shares you own can fetch you at least 10 million. Are you waiting


    for its value to spike? Let me warn you that no one will buy your shares after they suffer a crushing


    defeat at the medical conference.”


    Jefford shook his head and exined, “Forget it. I think Mr. Larson is an honest and reliable man who


    does his work very dedicatedly. I don’t think an investment that can catch his attention will have


    problems. So, it’s better I keep my shares now because if he wins at the medical conference, the value


    of my shares will double at the very least!”


    Another shareholder jeered immediately, “Are you sure he can win? Jefford, have you gone mad or are


    you still asleep? Putting aside Dr. Ellis and Leonard the Acupuncturist, the rest of the representatives


    are all superb doctors with great medical skills. Despite having sent so many superb doctors to join the


    medical conference in the past years, Eastshire has alwayse bottom in the rankings. Even the


    Hughes Family can’t be sure they can make it to the top three. What’s so special with this Larson guy


    that makes him think he can prevail over them? Jefford, you should really try putting on your thinking


    cap more often in the future! Otherwise, your family won’t be able to sustain the rate you squander


    away the money no matter how wealthy you are!”


    His remark sent the rest of the shareholders bursting intoughter and their eyes brimmed with


    contempt when they stared at Jefford.


    With his face reddened, Jefford snapped through gritted teeth, “Keep your nose out of my business!


    The shares I have is too little to mean anything. Mr. Larson is the one I’m investing in instead of this


    project. I can afford to lose ten million but the potential in Mr. Larson can’t be bought by the same


    amount!”


    With that, Jefford turned to face Matthew and proimed, “Mr. Larson, you will have my absolute


    support in all events! Go all out without the need to worry about anything. Even if we lose in the end,


    we can always start from the beginning and try again!”
