Monday morning, 9 AM, Ahmed Industries Stock Exchange.
Share price board showed Ahmed Industries share at 500 rupees, down from 600 last month due to all family dramas.
Rayan was in his office, in a meeting with his finance team, when his head of finance, Mr.
Aslam, ran in, sweating, with a laptop.
“Sir!
Sir!
Someone is buying our shares like crazy!
In last 30 minutes, someone bought 3% shares from open market!
3% means 30 crores!
Who has so much money to buy?” Rayan stood up.
“What?
3% in 30 minutes?
Show me!” On the laptop, share buying chart showed huge green candles.
Someone was buying thousands of shares every second.
Rayan’s eyes narrowed.
“It’s Kamran.
And Kabir.
They are trying to increase their shares to 26% to remove me.
They have 20% already, if they buy 6% more, they can call Extraordinary General Meeting to remove CEO.
That’s company law.” Mr.
Aslam said, “Sir, what should we do?
If they buy 6%, they will have 26% and they can trouble you!” Rayan smiled coldly, the ruthless CEO smile that his enemies feared.
“They want to play share market war?
Let’s play.
Aslam, how much cash do we have in company reserve?” “Sir, 200 crores cash reserve.” “Good.
Start buying our own shares!
Buy 5% right now!
Increase share price!
Let them buy at higher price!
I want share price to go from 500 to 800 today!
Let them burn their money!” “But Sir, if we buy our own shares, we will spend 50 crores!” “So what?
It’s our company!
Spend it!
I will not let my father and his bastard son take my company!” War started.
From both sides, buying.
Kamran and Kabir in London were also watching share price on laptop, with their team.
Kabir shouted, “Father, share price is going up!
From 500 to 600 in 1 hour!
We already spent 30 crores for 3%, now to buy 3% more we need 45 crores!
It’s getting expensive!” Kamran said, “Buy!
Buy!
Don’t stop!
I will sell my London house if needed!
I want to destroy Rayan!
Buy 6% today itself!” In Lahore, Rayan was also buying.
He bought 2% more, spending 20 crores.
