Chapter 448 Serve the meal
The "sudden death" of Nutao Group was something no one expected.
The Federal Economic Security Committee was just about to take sides and let the two sides continue to maintain a balance of power to cause internal friction, but as soon as the plan was delivered to Chairman Angelo, he received an urgent message saying that the Nutao Group was already halfway through.
After the call ended, Angelo laughed at himself, then closed the plan that had just been opened on the virtual screen, and finally said to the Vice Chairman Garrison in front of him:
"Well, your plan is in vain."
"what?"
"I just received news that the market value of Nutao Group has shrunk by more than 50% at halftime, and a large number of short-selling institutions suspected to be secretly controlled by the Atlas Group are holding a large number of shares at low prices. It can be said that it has basically been sentenced to death."
"Wait, how come it's so fast?"
Garrison, who was sitting opposite Angelo, was a little confused. After receiving the public opinion offensive about Atlas and the extremely abnormal pre-market trading trend in the stock market in the morning, he immediately began to plan this plan.
Garrison thought that his speed was fast enough. If Chairman Angelo agreed, the Economic Security Committee could even start taking action as soon as the market opened in the afternoon.
But he never expected that Atlas would act so quickly, and the performance of the Nutao Group was much worse than he had imagined. As a result, the plan he had spent the whole morning rushing out was about to be thrown into the recycling bin before it could be used.
"Have we been marginalized for too long that's why we're so slow to act?" Garrison sighed and slumped back in his chair.
Angelo also shook his head and said, "It's better to say that Atlas' actions are too fast. With such organization and efficiency, it's no wonder they can rise so quickly."
"So what should we do next? Should we continue to try to intervene? Or should we stop this conflict as a regulator?"
"Stop it?" Angelo was stunned for half a second, then he directly rejected it: "It's impossible to stop it. Do we have any legitimate reason to stop it now?"
As he spoke, he opened a report sent by the analysis team on the virtual screen.
"This is a summary compiled by analysts. It shows the institutions in the market that have recently launched a crackdown on these companies in the military-industrial complex. The ones that took action this morning are also among them."
"Doesn't this further prove that Atlas is engaging in vicious competition in the market?"
"Garison, you're wrong. We have always believed that these institutions are controlled by Atlas, but in fact our analysis team has searched all the information they can find and cannot find any relationship between these institutions and Atlas."
When he said this, Angelo's tone became somewhat helpless. This feeling of knowing the truth but having no way to prove it really made him feel uncomfortable.
"This is really a complete clean sweep." Garrison also stared at the content on the virtual screen with a frown, and then after seeing the latest name that appeared, he said:
"Yuge Capital? Wait, this name sounds familiar."
"The financial backer behind this is the Yuge family from the Thousand Star Empire. They had a long-standing presence in the Federation and are also a long-established short-selling organization."
Angelo replied that as the chairman of the Economic Security Commission, he was quite concerned about these institutions with "foreign forces" backgrounds.
"Atlas Group is also a 'foreign-funded enterprise' from the Thousand Star Empire. Does that mean they have a close relationship with the Yuge family?"
"I personally think there is a connection, but unfortunately we have no way to verify this. After all, we have no idea what the internal equity structure of the companies in the Thousand Star Empire is like."
The expression on Angelo's face became more serious. As his conversation with Garrison continued, both of them felt powerless and began to doubt themselves. Was the plan they had considered before to "maintain a balance between the two sides" a little too naive or unrealistic?
"In short, after this period of conflict, it should be no problem for the Atlas Group to eat at the 'main table' of the federal corporate circle, and maybe even sit directly at the head seat." "Are the rest of the military-industrial complex just going to watch?" Garrison said with a frown.
"Hmph, these guys are not as united as you think. Now that the leader, the Nutao Group, has collapsed, who else do you think can stand up? If they can't put up an effective resistance, they will just become Atlas's meal one by one."
Angelo said disdainfully, while also revealing a look of deep worry.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say that we may be witnessing the worst."

"Come to the table to eat?"
At Atlas' internal remote meeting, after hearing the director of the Financial Business Center describe Atlas' current situation, Amber said:
"There's nothing wrong with that description, but to be honest, from my personal perspective, I really don't want to sit at the same table with these people."
"Then why don't we just kick them all out and sit at a table by ourselves~"
A participant, who was also a big shot who had once "realized enlightenment at Longchang", spoke up, immediately drawing laughter from those around him.
"Very good, you are worthy of it."
Amber laughed too, and continued:
"But this is actually my ultimate goal, to build Atlas into a truly 'global giant', rather than the current so-called 'giant companies' that have nothing but size but are only good at forming cliques and pursuing personal interests.
In my opinion, a global giant enterprise is not just about how many galaxies its business covers, but the enterprise itself must also have the hard power that matches its scale.
To put it more extremely, a truly global giant should no longer be restricted by other forces or political systems, but should be able to dialogue and communicate with them on an equal footing.
That’s what I mean by ‘eating at the table’.”
Although Amber was participating in the meeting remotely through a holographic projection device, his words still made everyone breathe faster after they heard them.
To be honest, if Amber's remarks were made in the Federation or the Empire, she would at least be labeled a traitor and then be visited by relevant departments.
But this is Atlas, and the people gathered here have basically no sense of belonging to the Federation or the Empire, if not a strong one.
Especially those people in the financial business center, they are eager to make a big move and take back what they have lost, so the "pie" drawn by Amber can be said to be quite satisfactory.
After the meeting, everyone at the headquarters left the meeting room talking and laughing, and before the call ended, Isabel told Amber to come back to the headquarters early to accompany her.
However, Isabel didn't know that her good friend Ellenita was sitting opposite Amber at this moment, looking at the latter with a playful expression.
After Amber closed the communication, the female elf smiled and said, "I feel relieved to see that you two are still so affectionate."
"What kind of old motherly talk are you making?"
“Hahahaha, then is it my turn next? As a major shareholder, I haven’t had a good chat with my investment target in a long time.”
"As you wish, Ms. Yuge."
