Chapter 385: The Ye Rong That’s Almost Dead (Part One)
At the time, Mr. Zhang came in from outside and said, “Senior Sister Lan, the e-commerce company that you have 10% in, their board of directors called and said that they need to speak to you in person. They asked for you to go to their Yanjing headquarters if you have time.”
Auntie Lan sighed. “I knew this would happen. I hope they aren’t too ugly when they are trying to eat.”
Lin Chuxue asked curiously, ‘What happened?”
Auntie Lan: “They probably want a withdrawal of shares.”
Lin Chuxue: “Why?”
“In the past, there was the Ye Family’s backing, and strictly speaking, that 10% of shares was a bonus! It was basically a big red pocket for us to buy a foothold in the market. Now that the Ye Family collapsed, they probably want to force me to sell the shares in my hand. Things like this are inevitable. Young Madam, just wait for me at home, I will go to Yanjing for two days and I will be right back.”
“Xu Cheng’s in Yanjing anyway, I will just come with you, and I can also see him on the way,” Lin Chuxue said.
Auntie Lan nodded.
The two of them appeared at the airport in the afternoon, and under the protection of the new a.s.sistant, Lin Chuxue was fully covered up and left safely without being tracked by the paparazzi and the media.
Accompanying Auntie Lan, Lin Chuxue and the new a.s.sistant went to the company building of the e-commerce company.
They directly went to the highest floor in the highrise, and the CEO brought Auntie Lan to the board meeting.
Auntie Lan and Lin Chuxue waited at the office, and very soon, the CEO came back with a newly-added member to the board of directors, who came over and smiled at Auntie Lan and said, “President Lan, long time no see.”
Auntie Lan recognized the guy, it was none other than President Li!
It was that President Li whose wife offended Xu Cheng and was forced by Auntie Lan to drag his wife to the door to kneel and apologize!
“It’s you?” Auntie Lan was shocked and a bit surprised.
“It is me alright.” President Li gracefully sat down across from her and said, “You probably know now why I asked you to come right? Everyone knows the rules, I think you know what to do.”
The founder and CEO of the company, President w.a.n.g, said, “Senior Sister w.a.n.g, in the past, the company needed the Ye Family, but you know that the Ye Family has fallen, and if the company still wants to compete against the other two e-commerce companies in the nation that have big backgrounds, we naturally need some official background to support us. President Li here is representing the Li Family and they are very sincere and willing to invest in our company. The board has decided through voting to give your shares to the Li Family.”
Auntie Lan leaned back against the sofa and said, “I know the rules, but the 10% of shares I have is worth 6.6 billion US dollars. President Li, how much are you planning to use to gobble up these shares? If it’s too little, I wouldn’t be willing.”
President Li sneered. “President Lan, are you forgetting about the fact that the Ye Family no longer exists now? Where do you get the confidence to negotiate with me? The lesson you taught me earlier, I still vividly remember. I’m just this kind of person, you can say that I bully the good and fear the evil, but when I can pay someone back, I will never hesitate! Now, I will give you two choices. One, kneel down and apologize to me, slap yourself and say you were wrong, and I can use 6.6 billion US dollars to eat your shares. The second choice is, you can reject the first one and go head to head with me! However, I won’t even pay a cent, but will rather use my means to make you give me your shares. If you are smart, you would know that without the Ye Family, you are just a tiger without teeth.”
