Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Joining Stocks_1

As for Li Kaiyao, given his relationship with Chen Yuanxiang, even without strong connections, Shen Dong would have invited him to buy shares.

Moreover, Li Kaiyao is now a super internet celebrity, and sometimes his influence is no less significant than that of Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei.

Before coming here, Shen Dong had been pondering how to bring up the subject.

The eagerness of the three to speak up suited his intentions perfectly.

Thinking of this, Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, Yao, Mr. Fei, I of course welcome you guys to buy shares, but I have to make it clear upfront that if Shuidilao doesn’t do well in the future and your investment goes down the drain, don’t blame me."

Zhou Chengyu laughed and said, "How could that be? We’d feel nothing but gratitude for you even allowing us to buy shares. We’ve heard that many large financial groups have wanted to buy in but were rejected by you."

Wan Pengfei nodded and said, "That’s right, we can only be grateful if you take us along for the ride to wealth."

Li Kaiyao added, "Shen Dong, anyone who says anything of that sort in the future isn’t our brother."

Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei both nodded in agreement.

"Alright," Shen Dong nodded.

Subsequently, Shen Dong asked how much money each of them could put into buying shares.

Zhou Chengyu could put in four billion, while Wan Pengfei and Li Kaiyao didn’t have as much and could only afford two billion each.

Shen Dong weighed the amounts that the three could contribute and said, "I’ll give Mr. Zhou 10 percent of the shares, and Yao and Mr. Fei 5 percent each. These will be fixed shares; how does that sound to you?"

Fixed shares meant that even if Shuidilao continued fundraising, their proportion would not be diluted—they would forever maintain that percentage.

Giving out fixed shares was a decision made with relational considerations in mind.

Otherwise, Shen Dong would not have offered fixed shares.

These few friends were compatible and could be friends for life.

Fixing the shares was a way to permanently bind the four men together.

Giving fixed shares meant Zhou Chengyu and the others were getting a good deal, so naturally, they had no objections.

Everyone enjoyed the meal heartily, with Zhou Chengyu and the others drinking until they were very drunk.

The next morning, the trio came to Shuidilao.

Shen Dong had already arrived ahead of them, instructing the legal team to prepare the contract.

After examining the contract, the three found no issues and signed it.

With that, the three became shareholders in Shuidilao.

Shen Dong, who originally held 100 percent of the shares, now held 80 percent.

Zhou Chengyu held 10 percent and became the second-largest shareholder.

Li Kaiyao and Wan Pengfei each held 5 percent, jointly becoming the third-largest shareholders.

After signing the contract, the trio transferred their money into Shuidilao’s corporate account.

The four men chatted over tea in the reception room before parting ways.

As the three left, Shen Dong prepared to return to his father-in-law’s office.

Just then, his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number.

Answering the phone, it was a company called Guangming Gold Company wanting to discuss the acquisition of a gold mine with Shen Dong.

Shen Dong naturally wouldn’t refuse and arranged a meeting time for them to come to Hai City for negotiations.

Since he now had the upper hand, there was no need for him to run around anymore.

The other party had no objections and agreed to meet in Hai City.

Afterward, Shen Dong returned to his father-in-law’s office.

Chen Yuanxiang already knew about Zhou Chengyu and the others buying shares and smiled, "Shen Dong, I just got a call from our people in other cities. The obstacles that were hindering them from finding store locations, both overt and covert, have already vanished. Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei sure acted swiftly."

"That’s good," Shen Dong nodded.

"Shen Dong, thank you for giving Kaiyao the shares," Chen Yuanxiang said again.

He was aware that it must be for his sake that Shen Dong had offered the shares to Li Kaiyao.

Li Kaiyao had no significant influence and couldn’t provide much help during Shuidilao’s expansion.

Being able to secure 5 percent of the fixed shares was definitely in consideration of his face.

"Dad, you don’t need to be polite with me. Yao and I are friends, and besides, he’s now a super internet celebrity, which is very important," Shen Dong reassured, knowing what Chen Yuanxiang meant.

Inviting Li Kaiyao to become a shareholder was partly due to the relationship between Li Kaiyao and Chen Yuanxiang, and partly because Li Kaiyao had his own abilities.

At the same time, he also considered Li Kaiyao a true friend.

Having all four people together, if Li Kaiyao were to be excluded, it would really be unfair and would definitely affect their future relationship.

Just think about it, in the future, when coming out for a meal together, Shen Dong, Zhou Chengyu, and Wan Pengfei would all be shareholders of Shuidilao, their interests tied together, with only Li Kaiyao not being a shareholder, like an outsider.

Even if it didn’t seem like a big deal at the beginning, over time, Li Kaiyao would definitely have other thoughts.

Now that everyone is a shareholder of Shuidilao, there wouldn’t be this kind of problem.

In the following day, Shen Dong stayed at Shuidilao.

After making it through until the end of the workday, he found Chen Yuanxiang and left work with him.

Today they were going back for dinner together, as Chen Yuyan was already cooking at home.

As soon as they got in the car, Chen Yuanxiang’s phone started ringing.

Chen Yuanxiang took out his phone and immediately frowned.

The call was from Feng Lijuan.

What does this woman want by calling?

With puzzlement, Chen Yuanxiang answered the call.

"Yuanxiang, are you off work?" The tone of Feng Lijuan was gentle, as if a wife were concerned about her husband.

This surprised Chen Yuanxiang.

What on earth does this woman want?

Bear in mind that, since the divorce from Feng Lijuan, every conversation she had with him was in a condescending tone.

This new tone made Chen Yuanxiang very uncomfortable.

It was the same tone he had heard when he and Feng Lijuan were dating.

It had been so long that Chen Yuanxiang had almost forgotten it.

"What do you want?" Chen Yuanxiang asked with a frown, coldly.

"Nothing much, I just want to invite you to dinner," Feng Lijuan laughed.

Invite to dinner?

What exactly does this woman want?

"I don’t have time, I’m going home to have dinner with my son-in-law and daughter," Chen Yuanxiang replied coldly.

"How about tomorrow night then?" Feng Lijuan did not give up.

"No," Chen Yuanxiang said without even bothering to give a reason.

"Then I’ll come to Shuidilao tomorrow during the day to find you, that should be okay, right?" Feng Lijuan was determined to see Chen Yuanxiang.

"Our company does not welcome you," Chen Yuanxiang said coldly.

"Yuanxiang, do you need to be so absolute? I just have a matter to discuss and wanted to meet you," Feng Lijuan’s tone conveyed a pitiable sentiment.

"Fine, tomorrow at noon..." Chen Yuanxiang took a deep breath, afraid that Feng Lijuan would find her way to Shuidilao, and simply arranged a time and place to meet.

He might as well see what Feng Lijuan really wanted.

Century Garden.

During the meal and the conversation that followed, Chen Yuanxiang mentioned the meeting with Feng Lijuan at noon the next day.

"This Feng Lijuan must be plotting something bad again," Chen Yuyan frowned.

"I don’t know what she wants, but I decided to meet with her out of fear that she would come to the company," Chen Yuanxiang shook his head.

"Dad, I’ll go with you tomorrow at noon," Chen Yuyan said, turning her eyes.

"Okay," Chen Yuanxiang thought for a moment and then agreed.

"Husband, let’s go together," Chen Yuyan said.

"No, I have an appointment with a gold company at 10:30 tomorrow morning, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it," Shen Dong shook his head.

"Alright then," Chen Yuyan conceded.
