1. Author learned another few words: "mergers and acquisitions"
2.has no idea what it means, but it sounds all stocky and financial
3. just throws it in there 😂
Sufficed to say, what was said about the protagonist having to be careful because of mergers and acquisitions makes 0 sense. A company merger or acquisition is not something you have to beware of just because the stock price is at value x or y, but only because someone bought too many of your shares.
But literally every huge publicly traded company will have a lot of shares they'll simply dump on the market if someone where to try and buy enough shares for a hostile takeover.
There are so many ways to prevent hostile takeovers when a company is financially strong, that it would take forever to even mention them all.
In short, the whole pretext of what all of this pseudo-stock-fight in this manhwa was written on was total nonsense.
It was as accurate or plausible as you having to be careful that your garden mouse suddenly evolvs into a Pikachu and starts attacking you with electro shocks.
Zero connection to reality at all.
