Chapter 516

The older, the wiser. Evelyn's thoughts were straightforward. They might be in trouble if the major shareholders had the final say. If Jason sided with Cyrus and they acted in concert, Cyrus would control a staggering 40.5 percent of the shares. It far exceeded what the Hayes brothers controlled. It also meant that the Hayes family, which had been under the Sykes family's control for 50 years, would be taken over by Cyrus. Cyrus would fully control the four families, making them even more impenetrable. It would be impossible for the Sykes family to capture the market share of Jorsproburgh, even after 50 or a hundred years. Owen Sykes could never accept this. Hence, Evelyn's responsibility was heavy, and she needed to be cautious. Those small investors would definitely waver with the support from the Sykes family. Jordan glanced at Cyrus, who was still in the midst of his game. Why the hell was he so calm? Was everything under his control? He was enveloped with a strong sense of fear. Was he going to be the prodigal son of the family? Jordan realized it was safer to rely on the Sykes family now. "Well, as our important investor, we must respect Mrs. Sykes' opinion. If she agrees to invest, our stock prices would definitely double with the support from the King of Medicine Group." Chris also added, "Exactly. The Sykes family is the noble family of the King of Medicine. We have many ancient prescriptions that are popular in Summerland. If we give a few to Jordan Pharmaceuticals, your sales performance will definitely improve. You'll become the top in Jorsproburgh." They were both boasting wildly to fight for the votes and control. Margot smiled and said, "Hasn't the Sykes family been supporting the Hayeses? The few best-selling female products of the Hayeses are based on the Sykes family's prescriptions, right?" Nicole also sneered, "If I remember correctly, none of the Sykes family's products has surpassed the daily sales of the Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills in the past century." After Cyrus' suppressive intimidation against the Sykes family, the two women had already regained their prideful confidence. They were no longer afraid of Evelyn. They became fearless once they started to be sarcastic. Margot unbuttoned her black blazer. With her hands in her pockets, she stood up to show her impressive figure. She walked to the camera in her high heels. Facing the hundred thousand shareholders, she smiled and said, "Everyone, if our three families take over the Hayes family's management rights, Mr. Johnson will inject the scented elixir pills into their production. This year, the sales performance will surely double." Cyrus smiled and gestured 'OK' to the shareholders. The small shareholders were very excited as Cyrus was the noble hero of Jorsproburgh. He rescued many patients from death with his superb skills in medicine and alchemy. The scented elixir pills had become the top product in Summerland, earning billions daily. Margot looked at Cyrus affectionately and said, "In the future, I, Margot Foster, will be the chairman of Jordan Pharmaceuticals, leading everyone to wealth. "The scented elixir pills are just the beginning. Cyrus is a genius in alchemy. Soon, more products will be launched." Chris retorted, "The Sykes family's scale is ten times larger than yours. How can you compete with us? Other than Jorsproburgh, you can reach nowhere." Margot looked at Chris. "Doesn't the Sykes family claim to be the backbone of Summerland? So, you've decided to act shamelessly and monopolize the market now? The key is, it's useless even if you do so. We'll be selling online. Can you control the billions of people in Summerland?" "You…" Evelyn knew her son had said too much. This was a public meeting, and their reputation would be ruined. "Enough, let all the shareholders decide for themselves. I believe it's an easy choice between the Sykes family and Cyrus Johnson." Basically, it was a battle of prestige. The Sykes family was prestigious. However, Cyrus' recent performance was too impressive. He had become the rising star of Summerland. He gained the upper hand when he made the Sykes family agitated without saying a word.
