Charlie's words allowed no room for doubt or dissent.
Everyone sitting at the shareholders' meeting knew that Charlie did not have enough money to buy back shares.
His statement was meant to dismiss people.
As for the money needed for the share repurchase, he would give it if he wanted to, and there was nothing anyone could do about it if he didn't.
In such a crisis, everyone else had no choice but to reluctantly agree to Charlie's proposal.
One billion in funds were mobilized like this. After withdrawing all the money, Charlie waited until the next morning for the kidnapper to call him again.
"Is the money ready?"
"It's ready. How should I deliver it to you?"
"Load all the money into a truck and take it to C9 district. I'll contact you again when you get there."
The call ended abruptly. The other party seemed in no rush, leaving Charlie completely at a disadvantage.
