The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1666-1670
Chapter 1666
Among them, Ito Yuhiko was the most objectionable. He angrily protested, "Mr. Wade, this is unacceptable! I just signed a contract with Kobayashi Masayoshi, purchasing 30% of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's shares for $4.5 billion USD in cash. How can you claim 90%? That's absurd!"
Charlie Wade sneered. "Mr. Ito, what is Kobayashi Masayoshi's position in the company? What authority did he have to sign such an agreement?"
Ito Yuhiko coldly replied, "He's the acting president. He naturally has the right to sign a financing agreement!"
Charlie Wade scoffed. "Nonsense. Who authorized his signature? Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's shares belong to Kobayashi Masao. He's deceased. Ichiro Kobayashi is the sole heir, as Jiro Kobayashi's whereabouts are unknown. Masayoshi Kobayashi had no right to sell 30% of the shares to you."
Ito Yuhiko angrily brandished the contract. "This contract clearly states that the Ito family owns 30% of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical! And I've already paid!"
"I'm sorry," Charlie Wade said flatly. "The signatory was unqualified; the contract is invalid. If I signed an agreement selling you the entire Japanese island, would that make it yours?"
Charlie Wade produced an equity transfer document from Paul and threw it before Ito Yuhiko. "This shows Ichiro Kobayashi voluntarily transferred 90% of the shares to my Oracle Pharmaceutical Company. Ichiro Kobayashi is the legal heir; this agreement is legally binding. Your agreement is worthless. Even Japanese lawyers and judges would deem it invalid."
"You… you're a thug!" Ito Yuhiko exclaimed, collapsing. He'd never shown weakness before, but Charlie Wade was shameless. Knowing he was outmatched, he decided to retreat, plotting revenge and regaining the shares.
He protested, "Since Ichiro Kobayashi is the legal heir, I've paid $4.5 billion. If the contract is invalid, return the money immediately!"
Charlie Wade feigned surprise. "Mr. Ito, I didn't hear you clearly."
Ito Yuhiko shouted, "Return the $4.5 billion in Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's account!"
Charlie Wade snorted contemptuously. "Mr. Ito, you may not know my iron rule: I never refund."
Ito Yuhiko demanded, "What iron rule?!"
Charlie Wade smiled. "I never refund!"
Chapter 1667
"Never refund?!" Ito Yuhiko was furious. He pointed at Charlie Wade, "You claim to follow the law. I deposited $4.5 billion. Either give me the shares, or refund my money!"
Charlie Wade nodded blankly. "Yes! I'm keeping your money. Do you expect me to return it? Do I need to have face?"
Ito Yuhiko felt a sharp pain in his chest. He'd never encountered such audacity.
He gritted his teeth. "I don't believe you can keep $4.5 billion!"
Charlie Wade nodded, smiling. "I already have it. You willingly gave it to me."
Ito Yuhiko nearly vomited blood.
Charlie Wade instructed Cameron Isaac, "Isaac, escort Mr. Ito out."
Isaac and his men approached Ito Yuhiko. "Mr. Ito, leave peacefully, or you'll be down for five months."
"You… you dare threaten me?!"
Isaac smiled. "I'm just warning you. Master Wade has a short fuse. Leave now, or he might beat you."
Ito Yuhiko, unable to resist, coldly said, "Fine! Mr. Wade, we're not finished!" He stormed out.
Charlie Wade smiled faintly. He'd heard Ito Yuhiko wanted to invest in Kobayashi Pharmaceutical by marrying his daughter, Nanako, to Jiro Kobayashi. He disliked Ito Yuhiko for prioritizing self-interest over his daughter's happiness, much like Elaine Ma. This $4.5 billion was a fitting punishment.
Koichi Tanaka approached respectfully, apologizing for the incident and expressing awe of Charlie Wade's strength.
Chapter 1668
Charlie Wade, slightly relieved by Tanaka's deference, asked for contact information. Tanaka provided his business card. Ito Yuhiko's bodyguards fled, clutching broken arms.
A heavy silence fell. Ichiro Kobayashi cleared his throat. "As the legal heir, I have 100% decision-making power. The equity transfer agreement is legally sound. Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is now a subsidiary of Oracle Pharmaceutical."
Someone questioned the 90% share transfer, worrying about their interests. Ichiro Kobayashi offered them 3% of his remaining 10% share income.
Outcry followed. Ichiro Kobayashi inwardly lamented that he'd sacrificed 90% to gain freedom.
Charlie Wade coldly stated, "If you can't accept this, resign immediately."
Chapter 1669
Employees threatened to paralyze Kobayashi Pharmaceutical if they resigned. Charlie Wade asked a man in charge of R&D about his contributions. The man boasted about his role in developing Niranex.
Charlie Wade revealed that Niranex was largely plagiarized from ancient Chinese medicine. He dismissed the R&D department as worthless, infuriating Kobayashi Makawa, the R&D head.
Charlie Wade explained that Japanese pharmaceutical companies, including Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, relied heavily on plagiarism of Chinese medicine. He had no need for their R&D department, given his access to superior formulas. Kobayashi Makawa, embarrassed, couldn't refute him.
Chapter 1670
Charlie Wade dissolved the R&D department, shocking everyone. Kobayashi Makawa pleaded to be kept, but Charlie Wade remained firm, ordering his dismissal.
The remaining executives realized Charlie Wade's absolute power. Charlie Wade announced the dissolution of the promotion and sales departments as well, leaving only production. This would cause widespread unemployment among the mostly middle-aged executives, who lived lavish lifestyles and had little savings, facing potential financial ruin. Charlie Wade had no sympathy and felt they deserved their fate.
