CHAPTER 483 MYSTERIOUS SHAREHOLDER

"Sure!" Henry nodded.

The three of them sat down and began to talk about the cooperation for more than an hour.

After the talk, Mr. Carter left with a satisfied smile. Content © 2024.

Other than Joe and Lisa, Henry and Yvonne were the only ones left in the reception room.

Yvonne twisted her stiff neck. "It's a pleasure to talk about cooperation with such a smart person like Mr.

Lancaster!"

Henry nodded. "Me too.”

This woman really had some skills. She didn't stop talking during the meeting about cooperation just now, and she wasn’t willing to suffer any losses at all.

No wonder she could manage such an important energy company.

This skill was something that Yvonne didn't have.

It seemed that she wasn't Yvonne.

"Oh, right!" Yvonne suddenly thought of something and took her mobile phone out. "Mr. Lancaster, since we're partners now, it wouldn't be too much to get your contact info, right?"

"Of course!" Henry took her mobile phone, entered his number, and returned the phone to her.

Yvonne looked down at the familiar number on her mobile phone and the cold light in her eyes flickered. When she raised her head again, there was nothing in her eyes.

She pressed Henry's number and dialed it.

Soon, Henry's mobile phone rang.

She hung up again. "Mr. Lancaster, this is my number. Remember to save it."

She shook her mobile phone, and Henry responded with a hum.

Yvonne put her phone away and stood up. "Well, Mr. Lancaster, it's almost time. We should leave now."

Henry stood up, looked at her, and said, "Since it's noon now, let me treat you to lunch."

Yvonne was shocked for a while, then immediately smiled provocatively. "Mr. Lancaster, should I take it that you're asking me on a date?"

Henry frowned and said quietly, "You've misunderstood, Miss Smith. It's normal to invite business partners to lunch."

Yvonne chuckled, "Mr. Lancaster is really serious-you don't even joke around. Okay, I was wrong, but there's no need for lunch. I'm about to head back to the company for a meeting. Next time, maybe? And since our cooperation has just started, I'll come often in the future. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to buy me a meal next time?" i

"If that’s the case, next time then. Take care, Miss Smith." Henry made a gesture of invitation indifferently.

Yvonne smiled at him, turned around, and walked towards the door.

Looking at the direction she left, Joe asked hesitantly, "Mr. Lancaster, is she really not madam... Yvonne?"

Henry pursed his thin lips. "She shouldn't be. Yvonne isn't as good as her." 2

Based on this woman's ability, her mellowness of speech, or her aura, it was definitely not something that Yvonne could possess.

Furthermore, he had seen Yvonne's corpse six years ago.

Perhaps Yvonne was really dead.

"I know that madam isn't as good as her, but her face i s exactly the same as madam's. Are there really two people who look the same in this world?" Joe had his doubts.

Anyway, he couldn't accept that there was someone in this world that looked exactly the same as her.

"Yeah, are there really two people who look the same i n this world?” Henry repeated Joe’s words in a low voice.

Joe looked at him. "Mr. Lancaster, you do have some doubts about her identity."

He could see that Mr. Lancaster only believed Yvonne wasn’t his wife on the surface, but there was still a trace of reluctance in Mr. Lancaster's eyes.

He wouldn't reconcile to a woman who looked like madam but was not really madam.

But why didn't Mr. Lancaster do so? Didn't he forget his feelings for his wife?

Henry didn't know what Joe was thinking. He didn't deny his words.

In fact, he did have some doubts.

Although he read about Yvonne’s information on Wikipedia last night, there was only a small section. The specific information hadn’t been published, and the photos could also be changed.

While thinking about it, Henry narrowed his eyes. " Send someone abroad to check on her. Since she grew up abroad, there should be a lot of information about her."

Joe’s eyes lit up when he heard this. "Yes, I’ll send someone when I go down later.”

"Alright, but don't let the Smith family find out about this,” Henry reminded him.

Joe nodded his head. "Don’t worry, Mr. Lancaster. I know what to do. I'll leave first then."

Henry stopped him. "Wait a minute!"

Joe stopped. "What else can I do for you, Mr.

Lancaster?”

Henry asked in a deep voice, "Have you found the mysterious shareholder that I asked you to look for?"

Five years ago when the group's equity was consolidated, he found out that there were 5% fewer stocks in the market. The original 20% of the liquid stocks were left with only 15%, while the other 5% was missing. 1

Later, he found out that a mysterious buyer acquired 5 % of the shares through stock speculation. Not only that, but the buyer also acquired 10% of the shares from other shareholders of the group, which meant the mysterious buyer had 15% of the shares. 1

The Lancaster Group was the family business of the Lancaster family, which held the most shares with 50 % and the remaining 50% were held by the stock market and dozens of shareholders

respectively.

In other words, the average shares held by these dozens of shareholders was only a few percent for each person, and the largest shares were no more than 5%. The mysterious buyer had 15% of the shares, which could be said to be the second-largest shareholder of the Lancaster Group.

He had always kept a high degree of vigilance in his heart for this unknown shareholder whom he had never seen. This man's ability to purchase so many shares unknowingly showed that he was no ordinary man. He didn't know this person's purpose behind acquiring the shares or even whether this person was

good or bad.

Thinking of this, Henry felt a little irritable. He couldn’t help but sigh, "Headache..."

If this person had any grudges against the Lancaster Group and sold all his shares at a low price, or used his shares to do something to the Lancaster Group, then the group would definitely suffer a lot.

So he had been trying to find out the shareholder for the past five years, but he failed to do so.

Now that many shareholders of the group had reached retirement age, the group was about to face an equity change. Such an important matter would require all shareholders to attend the general meeting.

In order to get that mysterious shareholder to attend, h e specially asked Joe to increase his search, but it seemed that the result was the same.

Sure enough, after hearing Henry's question, Joe bowed his head in shame. "Mr. Lancaster, I haven’t found him yet. This shareholder is too mysterious. His annual dividend is printed on a Citibank card, and the card is anonymous, so we can't find out who the cardholder is. Since the card was processed, there hasn't been any record of withdrawal."

In other words, the card only paid in, not out.

With the market value of the Lancaster Group and 15% of its shares, that shareholder’s annual dividend was a s high as several billion.

It could be said that the money on that card was no less than two or three hundred million. He was really rich!

Joe couldn't help feeling sour.

Henry pondered for a moment. "There are still two months to go before the change of the group’s equity. You should announce this."

"Mr. Lancaster, are you saying to let that shareholder see it for himself?" Joe asked for confirmation.

Henry raised his chin. "Yes, since he has acquired so many shares, he'll definitely pay attention to the Lancaster Group at all times. When he sees it, he should attend the shareholders' meeting."

He must determine who the mysterious shareholder was. Was he an enemy or a friend?
