Chapter 272 Shareholders' Meeting
If it were in the past, Qin Sulan would have jumped for joy after hearing General Shi Cai speak so confidently.
However, after meeting Lu Yiming, Qin Sulan's mentality changed. At this time, she heard Shi Caijiang's firm words, but her heart was calm.
Shi Caijiang found that Qin Sulan didn't seem as happy as before, and thought it was because he had said it several times before but didn't keep it. Qin Sulan didn't believe what he said, so she raised three fingers of her right hand and swore: "Sulan, don't worry, what I said this time is absolutely true! If I lie to you again, let me be struck by lightning... Hey, why don't you stop me?"
Qin Sulan seemed a little impatient: "Okay, okay, I believe you, okay."
Shi Caijiang then hugged Qin Sulan and coaxed her, "I know I didn't keep my promise several times before, and you are blaming me. Don't be angry, I promise it's true this time. Don't worry, when we get married, I will treat you and our son well and make up for all I owe you for the past ten years."
Shi Caijiang probably could not have imagined in his dreams that he had been taken advantage of by Lu Yiming and Qin Sulan had reached an agreement with Lu Yiming.
At this moment, Shi Caijiang's cell phone rang. Shi Caijiang kissed Qin Sulan on the cheek and said, "I'll take a call."
"Hello?"
"Hello? Mr. Shi, I'm Zhang Jinrong, the general manager of Jingyi Real Estate."
“Lean Real Estate?”
Shi Caijiang had a puzzled expression on his face, wondering why Jingyi Real Estate would call him at this time.
"Yes, I'm calling mainly because there have been major changes in the equity and personnel structure of Lean Real Estate. As a shareholder of our company, you have the right to know."
When General Shi Cai heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry, and asked loudly: "The company's equity changed? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear any news before!"
Zhang Jinrong looked calm and said, "The equity transfer has just been completed in the past few days, so we notified you, Mr. Shi, to come to the meeting."
Shi Caijiang was almost mad after hearing this: "What the hell do you mean by notifying me after the equity has been delivered?!"
Unfortunately, Lean Real Estate was not listed, and Shi Caijiang's share of the shares was not enough to give him any decision-making power in the company, so even if he was very angry, he could do nothing about it.
Zhang Jinrong had already received Lu Yiming's promise, and now he didn't take Shi Caijiang seriously at all. Facing Shi Caijiang's questioning, Zhang Jinrong's tone was quite relaxed: "Mr. Shi, you are joking. Am I notifying you now? Anyway, remember to come to the meeting. There will be many new things to be announced at this shareholders' meeting."
Shi Caijiang wanted to ask more, but Zhang Jinrong had already hung up the phone. He was so angry that he smashed the phone.
"What the hell is going on?"
Qin Sulan was originally still hesitating whether or not to abandon Shi Caijiang, but when she saw Shi Caijiang looking so helpless and furious in front of her, she couldn't help but recall the night a few days ago, that young man who always had a calm and confident look on his face. The comparison between the two was obvious.
She pretended to be concerned and walked over to ask, "What happened? What makes you so angry?"
Shi Caijiang cursed for a while before he said to Qin Sulan with a gloomy face, "There is a problem with Jingyi Real Estate. The company's equity has changed. Someone is taking action against Jingyi Real Estate! Although I am not the largest shareholder, I have invested a lot of money. But they didn't tell me until they made the decision."
Qin Sulan was really shocked this time, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you keeping an eye on Jingyi Real Estate? What could go wrong?"
As Shi Caijiang's bedmate over the years, she was no stranger to Shi Caijiang's plan to develop Lean Real Estate.
Shi Caijiang had boasted to her countless times that as long as he took over Jingyi Real Estate, he could use the funds he had withdrawn from Shijinji to take over this promising company and take his career to the next level.
After working hard for so many years, his net worth is only around 200 to 300 million, but Shi Caijiang is not satisfied with this.
After all, how much money can you make from selling candy?
On the contrary, the real estate industry is able to leverage its resources to expand rapidly, and it really has great potential.
Everything was planned well, but now something has gone wrong.
“Who is interfering?”
In Shi Caijiang's mind, he was screening possible suspects one after another.
However, the equity of Lean Real Estate was quite single before, and it did things steadily and cautiously. It had no enemies and there was almost no possibility of being bought out by its peers.
Therefore, Shi Caijiang really couldn't understand who was so capable that he could take over Lean Real Estate so quickly.
After thinking about it, Shi Caijiang still couldn't figure it out , so he took out the phone book from the lining pocket of his suit and found Ge Youcai's phone number.
"Lao Ge, what are you doing? Let's have afternoon tea together when you have time."
If it were before, Ge Youcai would have certainly agreed happily, but at this critical juncture, if he wasn't waiting to see the show, Ge Youcai would have fallen out with Shi Caijiang long ago , so why would he go for tea with him?
"Oh, Lao Shi, I'm so sorry. I'm very busy now. I don't even have time to go to the toilet, let alone drink tea. And I don't dare drink your tea. I'm afraid it's poisonous."
Shi Caijiang frowned and said unhappily, "Old Ge, what do you mean by saying this? I didn't provoke you, did I?"
Ge Youcai chuckled and said coldly: "You know what you have done. Time and money are in your hands. God is watching you. Be careful that you will lose everything in the end even if you have planned everything."
Shi Caijiang's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more unhappy. He said in a deep voice: "Did you take the wrong medicine ? Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Ge Youcai didn't want to waste time talking to Shi Caijiang anymore, so he interrupted him and said, "That's not important anymore. Anyway, I've already sold the shares of Jingyi Real Estate, so you guys can just fight each other. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm really busy here."
Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Shi Caijiang felt unwell.
"Ge Youcai actually sold his shares in Jingyi Real Estate? Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Jingyi Real Estate is developing well now. It is obviously a hen that lays golden eggs. Ge Youcai is not a fool. How could he be willing to sell it?
More importantly, who did he sell it to?
Shi Caijiang was very panicked. The matter was more serious than he thought. The company did not have a new shareholder, but the original shareholder was out!
Then Shi Caijiang thought of something and called Zhou Youguang again.
As a result, after Shi Caijiang introduced himself, Zhou Youguang spoke before Shi Caijiang asked, "I know what you want to ask. I have already sold the shares of Jingyi Real Estate. That's it. Don't bother me anymore in the future."
Just like that, Shi Caijiang was hung up on again.
He was so upset that he kept pulling his hair.
What's wrong with this world?
Which link went wrong?
Lean Real Estate.
General meeting of shareholders.
Time and wealth will arrive as expected.
He arrived quite early.
A full hour early.
He saw Zhang Jinrong setting up the venue and hurried over to greet him: "Old Zhang."
Zhang Jinrong looked up at Shi Caijiang, then went back to his work in silence.
"You're here? Sit down."
Shi Caijiang asked anxiously , "When will Ge Youcai and Zhou Youguang come over? I have something to discuss with them."
Zhang Jinrong did not speak, but a voice came from behind Shi Caijiang: "They will not come."
When Shi Cai turned around, he saw more than a dozen people surrounding Lu Yiming like stars surrounding the moon, and walked in together.
Shi Caijiang naturally recognized Lu Yiming, but because of this, he was confused and asked, "Why are you here?"
Lu Yiming did not answer General Shi's words, but greeted General Shi with a gentle smile, "Long time no see, Uncle Shi."
Shi Cai glanced around, trying to find out who was behind the scenes - he simply didn't believe that the young man standing in front of him could control the situation.
After all, he hadn't investigated Lu Yiming.
In his opinion, Lu Yiming's only identity is Shi Qingxue's classmate, nothing else.
However, at this moment, Zhang Jinrong came over, bowed deeply, and said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, you are here. It is almost time now. Do you think the shareholders' meeting should start now?"
Lu Yiming nodded, and then naturally sat in the seat in the conference room that only Ge You could sit in, and gave orders in front of everyone: "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. The first topic is to elect a new executive director for the company."
Lean Real Estate is currently just a limited company and has not been listed. Before this, in order to facilitate control of the company, Ge Youcai did not set up a board of directors, but only served as the executive director himself, keeping all the power firmly in his hands.
Now that Ge Youcai is out, the company naturally needs to elect a new executive director from among the shareholders to represent the company externally and take charge of Lean Real Estate.
In order to obtain funding and connections, Ge Youcai sold his shares, which led to a decrease in his control over the company.
That's because he was short of money, but Lu Yiming was not, so naturally he had no intention of discussing it with anyone. He had the final say on all matters in the company.
Even now that he has completed the controlling stake in Lean Real Estate, he can easily kill other shareholders as long as he wants. As for who will be the executive director, it is up to Lu Yiming to decide.
For Lu Yiming, there is no concept of democracy or non-democracy.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Lu Yiming announced directly: "General Manager Zhang Jinrong is talented and sincere, and has made great contributions to the development and growth of Jingyi Real Estate. I think it is very suitable for him to serve as the company's executive director. You should have no objection, right?"
At this time, Xia Shien, a shareholder representative sent by Jingwan Group to attend the meeting, was the first to raise his hand and say, "On behalf of Jingwan Group, I support Mr. Lu's decision."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Caijiang's mood plummeted to the bottom.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. It's okay for Lu Yiming, whose identity is unknown. He still thinks he may have a chance to turn the tables, but a behemoth like Jingwan Group is definitely not something he can afford to offend.
To put it bluntly, if you pluck a hair from the Lin family's thigh, it would be enough to crush him to death.
At this moment, the financial general felt extremely upset. When he looked at Lu Yiming, his eyelids twitched wildly and he was completely puzzled.
Who is this Lu Yiming?
Why does even a prestigious company like Jingwan Group obey his orders?
There are only three shareholders present, two of whom have already expressed their stance. In this case, no matter how Shicai resists, it will be meaningless.
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, obviously already knowing the result. He continued, "Then we will move on to the second topic, which is to discuss the future of Lean Real Estate."
General Shi Cai suddenly became extremely alert and stared at Lu Yiming. He had a vague feeling that the real killer move was coming.
As expected, Lu Yiming continued, "The company is preparing to cooperate with Jingwan Group to participate in the development of the Nanwan project, which requires a large amount of funds. As a role model, I will invest 200 million yuan on behalf of the Future Fund."
Xia Shien smiled and complimented, "Boss Lu is really generous. On behalf of Jingwan Group, I will invest 80 million in proportion."
Then the two of them turned their eyes to General Shi in tacit understanding, with a joking expression on their faces.
It was as if he was saying, "We're all following, do you want to follow, little brother?"
If you don't follow, your equity will be diluted and you will be kicked out.
Go ahead and invest real money into it. According to Shicai's 27% equity ratio, he has to invest at least 90 million to keep his shares.
Shi Caijiang suddenly felt disgusted.
How could he afford an investment of nearly 100 million yuan?
And even if I follow this time, what about next time?
Shi Caijiang did not make a statement immediately, but asked: "What kind of project is it that requires such a large amount of funds? Have the risks been properly assessed? As a shareholder, I can't just throw money at you and let you do whatever you want without knowing anything, right?"
After all, he just doesn't want his shares to be diluted.
In non-listed companies, if major shareholders want to mess with small shareholders, there are many ways to do that. The reason why he can still sit here and watch the meeting is because he holds more than a quarter of Lean Real Estate’s shares.
Once he loses this bargaining chip, next time he comes to Lean Real Estate, he might only be able to stand and listen, and he won’t even have a cup of tea.
The current shareholders' meeting has basically become Lu Yiming's personal show.
Although Shi Caijiang was obviously older than the backup, he could only sit in his seat and watch Lu Yiming give orders.
The changes in Lean Real Estate were beyond his expectations and control.
Until this moment, he still couldn't figure out what had happened.
Everything was going fine originally, how come the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse?
