Wealthy Chapter 133

To an outsider, those three months must have seemed ordinary and normal, just like me, thinking that two businessmen wouldn’t do anything particularly out of the ordinary, but who would have thought that behind the scenes, they’d already been sabre rattling?

Originally, I thought it was outrageous and unreal that Liu Rong was after me and Lao Gan tonight. But at this moment, when I heard Lao Gan say this, my heart sank hard, and suddenly I saw the other side of the peaceful world, which turned out to be so vicious!

I clenched my fists, “Then Liu Rong won’t let us go this time either.”

“Don’t worry, I told you a long time ago that he won’t be able to use force against us once tomorrow dawns. The only thing we have to worry about is the board of directors. My books must not be handed over to anyone other than Han Ryu.”

Outside the wind howled furiously, the tall sequoia trees were being swept left and right, the typhoon would have been a little stronger on the beach, the rain seemed to be slapping against the windows like bullets, the double toughened gla*s was shivering from the beating, as if it was ready to crack.

My heart sank to the bottom. The storm looked vicious, but it briefly held off Liu Rong’s pursuers for us, or we wouldn’t have had a good night’s sleep. It was only when the typhoon had stopped that the real storm began.

I said seriously, “Uncle Gan, I really do have a solution. Please trust me for once.”

Old Gan was very unconvinced; in his eyes, I was probably just a brat who knew nothing, and he asked me what I was going to do.

I shook my head and laughed, “I can’t tell you yet. But even if it’s just for me to try, after all, I am the young proprietor of Junran.”

Old Gan saw that he couldn’t get anything out of me, so he had to let it go. I asked him to tell me again about Suran’s financial system, its administrative system, its interpersonal relationships, and the composition of its board of directors.

I didn’t understand a word of the financial system, so I had to hold on to my head and stay awake. Later on, he talked about the administrative system, and it was interesting to note that there was no general manager in Suran, but a series of vice presidents who formed the top management.

Old Gan and the bosses of the branches were under the vice presidents and belonged to the middle and senior levels. These vice-presidents are the spokesmen for the major shareholders, but they still listen to Han Kun.

Han Kun is the legal advisor of the company, he is neither a vice president nor part of the management, and even, he is not part of the company’s legal team.

He is now the equivalent of an outside position in the company, but no one dares to treat him as an idle person. When the company makes a very important decision, Han Kun must give his nod in order to run it. Almost all the other senior and middle managers are absolutely loyal to Han Kun.

After listening to Lao Gan’s introduction, I felt that if Han Kun had been a soldier, he would have been a military genius, a natural general.

He might not seem to have any useful position in the company, but the real gra*sroots and middle and senior levels of the company were all in his hands, and all the senior people were just bare-bones commanders, and if they dared to go against Han Kun, what he said would immediately go unfulfilled.

I had not met Han Kun many times, but in my heart I considered him to be my most important family member, his personality was too strong!

Finally, Lao Gan and I talked about the composition of the board of directors. I had the largest share of the company, forty percent, Liu Rong had twenty percent, the remaining thirty-five percent was in the hands of the major and minor shareholders, another five percent was divided among the employees, and another part was scattered piecemeal among the minor shareholders.

Those small and medium shareholders, and Han Kun’s relationship is good, but not to the point of loyalty. If Liu Rong wanted to make trouble, at least half of them would become wallflowers.

Major personnel appointments require the consent of more than fifty percent of the company’s shares, as well as the agreement of seventy percent of the twenty board members, so these small shareholders are not completely without a voice.

I laughed, “Since I am the largest shareholder in the company, all I have to do is pull in another thirteen small and medium shareholders to be on my side, and he can’t just sack you. ”

Lao Gan shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Can I not think of that? If you had stepped in, it wouldn’t have been difficult to bring in thirteen small shareholders. But Liu Rong will definitely do it before you do. With you and Liu Rong’s reputation in the company, who do you think the ordinary shareholders will side with?”

I said, “That’s why we have to do this quietly. You help me to get through to those small shareholders and don’t reveal my identity for now. I see that Liu Rong only knows that Zhang Chao is the major shareholder, but cannot recognise me as Zhang Chao. The most important thing is to keep it a secret first, and not let Liu Rong know who I am until the shareholders’ meeting.”

Old Gan froze, probably not expecting that it was still possible to do this.

He thought carefully, “Maybe it’s possible. Liu Rong is a very arrogant person, and he won’t try to rope in those small and medium shareholders as a last resort, he has always looked down on them. If you don’t step in, these small and medium shareholders will buy a face for him and will side with him, but if you step in, it’s a different story.”

I smiled and stretched, “Then it will be hard for you, Uncle Gan. Liu Rong has shaded us once, and we’ve shaded Liu Rong once, so we’re even.”

Old Gan was still sad, but when he heard me say that, he turned from sad to happy and laughed, “I’d love to see Liu Rong’s unlucky face!”

We agreed on a few more details and the time pa*sed quickly.

We thought the typhoon would stop at dawn, but the typhoon got bigger at dawn.

The wind swept the whole tree through the air and the electricity poles were falling all over the place.

I dialed Chu Xiaoxiao again, I was worried if she was scared to be alone in the hotel.

“I’m not scared, I’m just lying around in the hotel, eating and drinking. Hehehe, you don’t know, the people in Lido are treating me like the boss’s wife, they’re almost giving me up.”

Hearing her say that, I was relieved and laughed and joked with her a bit.

“Don’t you just eat and drink.”

“Then what else is there to do? You can’t get out outside either.”

I was tickled, and licking my tongue I couldn’t resist saying, “Nothing to do, take a bath and wait for me when you’re clean.”

Chu Xiaoxia gasped heavily, then scolded me with a suppressed but very charming voice and a laugh, “You’re getting more and more rascal. Come back soon, I miss you especially, there’s so much left to do.”
