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 to come 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 can compete 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 compete
with Leonard and Dr. Ellis. I’m really impressed by your guts to invest 10 billion in something that you
know is sure to fail. Matthew, you have my admiration!”

The rest of the Cunninghams roared with laughter 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%! Just come over here and sign the share transfer agreement, and I will transfer the money to you
guys right now!”





The shareholders glanced 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
company and left nothing behind.

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%.

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

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

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 explained, “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 always come 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 into laughter 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 proclaimed, “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!”
