Chapter 2273 Another Collapse
Chapter 2273 Another Collapse
Miyazaki Akinobu waved his hand weakly and said, "Please ask them to go to conference room number two."
The company secretary agreed and turned to make the arrangements.
Miyazaki Yuto said with some worry, "Father, they must know about Jiro..."
Miyazaki Akinobu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's done is done, there's no way to hide it now. Since they're here, we have to give them an explanation."
As he spoke, he braced himself on the table with both hands and stood up with some difficulty.
Ryusuke Miyazaki said with some concern, "Father, your health..."
Miyazaki Akinoku said, "I'm fine..."
"But Mr. Xie said you must see him for treatment again within a week... and several days have already passed..."
Ryusuke Miyazaki appeared very worried.
Worry also appeared on the faces of Miyazaki Yuto and the others.
In these turbulent times, Miyazaki Akinobu must not fall.
If he really falls, then the Miyazaki group is completely finished.
Miyazaki Akinobu waved his hand and said weakly, "Once this matter is resolved, I will ask Mr. Xie to continue my treatment."
Although the Miyazaki Five were worried, they also knew that the Miyazaki Club was facing a crisis again.
Their father really couldn't leave.
The group arrived at the conference room, and before they even entered, they could hear constant chatter inside.
Some words reached their ears intermittently, which were nothing more than concerns about Miyazaki Kojiro's death.
This will deal another heavy blow to Miyazaki's group, which had finally begun to show signs of improvement.
Miyazaki Akinoku stood at the door for a moment and listened before stepping inside.
As soon as he appeared, the conference room fell silent, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to him.
Miyazaki Akinoku glanced at everyone, forcing himself to remain calm and appear natural.
He stood before the head of the table, placed his hands on the table, and said in a deep voice, "You all must already know about Jiro's matter?"
Murakami Nobu stared at Miyazaki Akinobu and said, "President Miyazaki, what exactly happened to the Miyazaki family? First, Taro was killed in Africa, and now Jiro has also been assassinated in Osaka. Could it be... that President Miyazaki has allowed the murderers to run rampant?"
Miyazaki Akinoku looked coldly at Murakami Nofu and said in a deep voice, "Do you all think that the deaths of Taro and Jiro were targeted at my Miyazaki family?"
No one answered the question immediately.
However, everyone's expressions seemed a bit strange.
Clearly, that's what they really think.
They're targeting the Miyazaki family to kill, isn't that also targeting the Miyazaki family?
However, everyone knew in their hearts that Miyazaki Akinoku meant that the other party was not only targeting the Miyazaki family, but the entire Miyazaki group.
Matsukatsu Yamato and Nakano Tobuki exchanged a glance, their lips twitching simultaneously, but they remained silent.
Murakami Noo asked with some confusion, "What does President Miyazaki mean by that? Doesn't the murderer target the Miyazaki family?"
Miyazaki Akinoku said coldly, "Yes, and not entirely. Taro's death is still undetermined. But Jiro's death is not so simple. It's clear that someone is trying to take advantage of the current public opinion crisis facing my Miyazaki Club to kick us while we're down!"
"Think about it, everyone. Our gang had just emerged from dire straits and stabilized for less than two days when Jiro was killed. Isn't that obvious?"
Murakami nodded slightly. "I understand. Someone must be trying to seize our Miyazaki Group's assets and deliberately creating chaos to plunge the Miyazaki Group back into crisis."
Miyazaki Akinoku smirked coldly. "You're right, that's how it is."
"President Miyazaki, could this have been done by the Iwasaki family?"
Suddenly, one of the shareholders mustered up the courage to ask.
Miyazaki Akinoku glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Why do you ask that?"
The shareholder thought for a moment and said, "Just the day before yesterday, Iwasaki Ara was murdered. Less than a day later, Jiro was also murdered. It's clear that the Iwasaki family believes that Iwasaki Ara's death is related to the president, so they took retaliatory actions..."
Miyazaki Akinobu's gaze sharpened.
“President Miyazaki, Watanabe-kun is right.” Someone spoke up, and the other shareholders became less fearful. Another person continued, “Rumors have spread that the Iwasaki family has been keeping an eye on several companies under the Miyazaki Group, especially Yamato Metals. Furthermore, they’ve even set up a special department to buy up shares at rock-bottom prices when the Miyazaki Group’s stock price fluctuates, in order to short-sell us…”
"Yes, their goal is very clear: they want to take over Shanyou Metal!"
Watanabe nodded and said affirmatively.
Ryusuke Miyazaki said in a deep voice, "Nakamura-kun, Watanabe-kun, we are aware of the situation you've described. The Miyazaki Group and the Iwasaki Group have always been mortal enemies. Their open and covert struggles have never ceased for decades."
"However, over the years, my Miyazaki group has always suppressed the Iwasaki group, never giving them any chance to turn the tables. So you can rest assured that even if we encounter some trouble this time, with the strength of my Miyazaki group, we will never let the Iwasaki group's conspiracy succeed!"
He spoke with absolute certainty and full of confidence.
Several shareholders seemed encouraged and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, Matsukatsu Yamato and Nakano Tofuki's expressions remained somewhat strange, and they kept exchanging glances and communicating with each other.
Clearly, they did not agree with Miyazaki Ryusuke's inspirational rhetoric.
Just then, a shareholder, staring at the tablet in his hand, said excitedly, "The market has opened..."
Miyazaki Akinobu's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he turned and shouted, "Project the information onto the screen."
Now that the market has already opened, it's impossible to stop everyone from going to watch, so let's just openly watch together.
Moreover, he was also eager to know the extent to which Miyazaki Kojiro's death would affect the Miyazaki Group's stock price.
The technician immediately connected to the computer and projected the data onto the screen.
As expected, as soon as the market opened, the stock prices of several major companies under the Miyazaki Group plummeted.
Especially for Mountain Friends Metal, the drop was the most severe.
Ryusuke Miyazaki opened the notebook in front of him, his brows furrowed, staring intently at the fluctuating data, feeling a sense of dread.
Miyazaki Akinoku's face gradually turned ashen, his expression a mixture of tension and dejection.
They knew the stock price would fall, but they didn't expect it to fall this badly.
If this continues, the data that we managed to get up a little bit in the first two days will go back to square one.
Everyone in the conference room stared intently at the projected screen, their hearts pounding.
Everyone felt a sense of collapse, like a landslide or a tsunami, and some shareholders looked extremely grim.
No one dared to speak easily, because Miyazaki Akinobu's face was extremely grim.
His face was completely bloodless, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably as he barely managed to hold onto the table to avoid collapsing.
Suddenly, Ryusuke Miyazaki stood up abruptly and said angrily, "I understand now, it's the Iwasaki Group... They're dumping large amounts of shares they secretly acquired recently, causing the stock price to collapse..."
Upon hearing this, Miyazaki Akinoku slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Iwasaki Tadashi, this is outrageous! Immediately gather funds; for every share he sells, we'll buy it all. We must stabilize the stock price..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was taken aback. Miyazaki Yuto and the others rushed forward, shouting in panic, "Father?"
All the shareholders cried out in alarm, "President Miyazaki?!"
Miyazaki Akinoku sat down weakly, waved his hand, and said feebly, "I'm fine, you...you do as I say, quickly..."
Ryusuke Miyazaki immediately bowed deeply to all the shareholders and earnestly said, "Everyone, I'm counting on you!"
Murakami Noo immediately said, "Shareholders, we must trust President Miyazaki and do as he instructs. The Miyazaki Group will definitely pull through..."
Matsutsuki Yamato and Nakano Tobuki exchanged another glance, said nothing, and followed all the shareholders out of the meeting room.
