"Well, Mr. Ning, why did you call me?" Lu Chen didn't expect to receive a call from Ning Hongze.
"I'll come down to my company later. I have something urgent."
"Okay, I'll be right over." Lu Chen, who had no class in the afternoon, naturally didn't refuse the old man's business.
According to the address, we found the head office of Hongze Group. This place is much more elegant than the Fengyun Building. The area alone is more than three times that of others. After all, one is an office building and the other is a formal group.
The company is naturally incomparable.
As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the door of the company, a beautiful secretary led him directly to a conference room of Hongze Group.
At this time, the conference room was already full of people. These people were all over fifty years old. It seemed that they had been following Ning Hongze for some years.
"Xiao Chen, come sit next to me." Ning Hongze sat on an imperial chair, obviously of superior status, and the chair next to him was still empty, so it was naturally reserved for Lu Chen.
Seeing Lu Chen also sit down, Ning Hongze started to speak.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the shareholders' meeting now."
Lu Chen was secretly surprised. It turned out that those present were all major shareholders of Hongze Group.
"As everyone knows, I gave Lu Chen 10% of my assets last time. Now Lu Chen owns 5% of the shares of Hongze Group, and I own the other %.
Forty-five, the rest of the shares are in your hands."
"Everyone is here today to re-elect the chairman."
However, Ning Hongze is still the major shareholder with the most shares. Naturally, this time the chairmanship falls on Ning Hongze again. After all, he has been in the position for nearly twenty years, and no one dares to question his authority.
"Okay, since everyone is giving me face like this, let me make a decision-making vote now. I think everyone should already know about the investment plan of Qiyun Company. If there is anything unclear, you can check the information in front of your desk.
That plan."
"If you have any opinions, you can speak up."
At this time, a man who was about the same age as Ning Hongze and sat on the other side of Ning Hongze frowned and spoke at a slower rate.
"Although our group's development is now at a bottleneck stage, this is our first time to make an external investment. This Qiyun company is just a headhunting company, and its qualifications don't seem to be enough." The old man expressed his worries, and naturally
This sentence also attracted the support of some conservatives.
"Yeah, the risk is too great."
"Chairman, I am afraid that 80% of the working capital will be withdrawn at once."
"Mr. Du is right. Our group is at a bottleneck stage. It is said that if you don't advance, you will retreat. The shopping mall is even more fierce than the battlefield. Some group companies walking behind us are watching us eagerly.
A decision-making mistake will definitely result in a devastating blow." At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up excitedly, Xianrang was also very concerned about this matter.
"But although a new choice has greater risks, it also has opportunities. It's just whether everyone has the confidence to seize this opportunity, so that our Hongze Group will reach a higher level."
"What I'm saying is that there is no risk in doing business."
"If we continue to be conservative, our group will definitely go downhill."
Suddenly this man also attracted the approval of a group of people. Now the entire conference room was divided into two factions, one was the conservative and stability-maintaining faction led by Mr. Du, and the other was the innovative and radical faction led by this middle-aged man.
For a while, a heated discussion began in the entire conference room. The two sides just couldn't come to a conclusion. After all, they all had their own arguments and no one could refute them.
"Okay, I know everyone is also thinking about the group company, and it is not an option to continue fighting like this. Let's vote the old way." At this time, Ning Hongze slapped the table and stood up, and everyone became quiet. After all, Ning Hongze
Hong Ze is also the chairman.
"Okay, raise your hands if you are opposed to this investment plan." At this time, Mr. Du took the lead and raised his hands, and everyone sitting next to Mr. Du also raised their hands.
"Okay, thirteen votes."
“Hands up in support of the investment plan!”
"Thirteen votes."
"Xiao Chen, you are also a shareholder now. Do you support or oppose it?" At this time, Ning Hongze turned to look at Lu Chen, who had never voted.
"I abstain." Lu Chen naturally had no other words to say. Although he knew in his heart that this was a business conspiracy of Yu Shangqian, he could not offend the people on the other side as soon as he took the position of shareholder. In the end, this matter still
Let Ning Hongze make his own decision.
"Now the vote is tied with thirteen votes and one abstention. It depends on my opinion. I vote yes." At this time, Ning Hongze cast his vote for the radicals without hesitation.
"The final decision was to agree to invest 80% of the working capital into Qiyun Company."
"Brother Ning, you have to be careful." At this time, Mr. Du looked anxious and wanted to stop this plan from proceeding.
"Brother Du, you know what I do, so don't worry."
"Forget it, since you agreed, I don't have anything to say. You and I have been in business for more than 30 years. No matter what you do, I will definitely do my part." Mr. Du didn't care because Ning Hongze didn't stand by him.
I felt angry on my own side, but on the contrary, I supported Ning Hongze’s decision. After all, the two of them had been together for more than thirty years, and they both supported each other. Otherwise, they would not have created such a huge boom.
Ze Group is here.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting." Ning Hongze said loudly, and everyone left the meeting room with the investment plan in hand, but Ning Hongze left Lu Chen alone.
"Why didn't you vote just now?" Ning Hongze was surprised why Lu Chen didn't express his position just now.
"Actually, I'm not a real shareholder. It's just that you always gave me such a qualification, and those who have followed you for so many years probably don't have as many shares as I do. There will definitely be many people who are dissatisfied with me. If I
No matter which side you turn to at this juncture, you will end up with two different people. The camp you turn to will say that I want to be in power, while the people on the other side will definitely say that I don’t know the difference between right and wrong.”
"Okay, very good, your analysis is very thorough. I didn't expect you to be such a thoughtful person." Ning Hongze burst out laughing. It turned out that Lu Chen had considered so much at once.
"However, after all, you also have shares here. If you don't express your opinion, aren't you afraid that the shares will evaporate immediately?" If the investment fails, it will definitely be a devastating blow. The lack of capital turnover is the company's flaw.
"To be honest, I agree with what the middle-aged man just said. To reach a higher level in the business field, stability requires change. Otherwise, the company will be stuck in a dead trap and the company will only slowly age without a supply of fresh blood.
It will definitely lead to destruction." After all, Lu Chen is a young man who doesn't like old-fashioned things and always hopes for changes.
"I knew you thought so, so I brought you to the board meeting. I was going to abstain from voting, but I didn't expect you to vote. So I had no choice but to vote in favor." Ning Hongze smiled, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.
met his own expectations.
Lu Chen couldn't help but marvel that Ning Hongze was an old fox in the shopping mall. It turned out that he was a move he had planned in advance. Wasn't it the one who initially gave him the so-called one-tenth share and allowed him to appear on the board of directors to vote in favor?
Bar.
"But I don't think Qiyun Company is a good investment project." Naturally, this is Lu Chen's subjective opinion. After all, he knows that the so-called boss behind the scenes is Yu Shangqian, and he seems to be here for the assets of the Ning family.
"Tell me, is there any problem?" Ning Hongze looked at Lu Chen in surprise. Did he see any problem?
"Well, I think something is wrong. This Qiyun company is not simple." Lu Chen naturally would not say what he was thinking without real evidence, so he had to remind Ning Hongze indirectly.
"Hey, there are some things you don't understand. You have to pay back the debts you owed in the past." Ning Hongze sighed, as if he had been holding this breath in his chest for a long time and finally let it out now.
Looking at Ning Hongze's retreating figure, Lu Chen felt that this matter was even more strange. Although there seemed to be no problem with Qiyun Company on the surface, even Yao Wei had information about this. It was impossible for Ning Hongze to be without a trace.
Sound of wind.
But it seems that he wants to jump into this fire pit without any hesitation. What is going on? Is it completely different from what he imagined?
"Yao Wei, do you know Ning Hongze's financial background?"
"Why are you asking this? Shouldn't you be trying to get his idea now? Don't worry, most of the property will belong to you after his death." Yao Wei was holding his mobile phone and sending intimate text messages to his girlfriend.
, but I didn’t expect that Lu Chen would actually care about Ning Hongze as soon as he came back.
"I'm telling you something serious."
"Oh, this Ning Hongze is probably a model of self-made man. He was an ordinary person at first. He dared to be at the forefront of the trend of going overseas. Now he is making a lot of money. His business acumen is not simple. He solved the company time and time again.
crisis. It’s even more difficult to say in terms of decision-making. If he hadn’t been in charge, the Hongze Group would have collapsed long ago.”
There doesn't seem to be anything special about this.
"Is there any relationship between Ning Hongze and Yu Shangqian?"
"The relationship between father-in-law and future son-in-law." Yao Wei was a little confused about what Lu Chen was thinking. As soon as he said these words, Lu Chen's expression suddenly changed.
"I'm talking about the future, and it's accurate. It's not certain. Don't be angry." Thinking that Lu Chen was thinking about Ning Shan, Yao Wei hurriedly explained for himself.
"It seems there is no special relationship, why is that?" Lu Chen racked his brains but couldn't figure out the connection.
"Hey, your girlfriend has only been away for a few days, and you are already thinking about her day and night. I have to call Lan Qin to report the situation, otherwise the squad leader will not know about being cuckolded."
"What are you talking about? Are you feeling itchy again?"
"Yeah, you haven't called her for several days. Isn't this because I care about you two?"
"I got it." Lu Chen was so busy these days that he put Lan Qin's matter aside. Now that he thought about it, he felt a little sorry for Lan Qin.
While lying on the bed, she dialed Lan Qin's phone number.
"How are you doing?"
"not good."
"What's wrong?"
"I went to the east today and thought I had news, but it was someone else." Lan Qin became a little discouraged.
"If you can't find you, come back and we'll find a solution together."
"No, I lost my brother. I must find him." Unexpectedly, once Lan Qin's temper got worse, Jiutou Niu might not be able to get him back.
"Well, take care of yourself outside. I don't want you to come back and become a dusty old woman. Then I won't recognize you as my girlfriend."
"How dare you? See if I don't deal with you."
"Xiaochen, I miss you."
"I miss you too."
Yao Wei, who was lying on the bed texting, couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Seeing that his call was eavesdropped, Lu Chen chatted with Lan Qin for a few more words and made an appointment to call her.
"Hey, we're done talking. It's so sweet. I miss you. Are you saying this in a disgusting way?" Yao Wei laughed louder and louder.
"Tch, aren't you stupid? You talk about Jiaojiao every day when you go to sleep."
"Where do I have it?"
"Would you like me to play the recording?"
"Okay, I lost to you." Yao Wei didn't expect that Lu Chen had a idiosyncratic habit of recording himself talking in his sleep, and he lost again and again.
Lu Chen was just trying to scare him. He didn't have the habit of staying up late at night and listening to Yao Wei talking in his sleep.
