Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Can Only Chuckle_1

Liu Chao’s face looked terrible, and he simply couldn’t rebut.

Indeed, he had nothing to say about this matter.

Dong Qikang had truly bungled the task.

If Lijing Group couldn’t go public, the profits of Wansheng Venture Capital would be affected as well.

This was very detrimental to his position at Wansheng Venture Capital.

Although he had already become president, if the company suffered losses, the other shareholders would not be pleased.

At any time, they could unite and pull him down from his position.

"In the future, when it comes to personnel appointments and dismissals, I hope everyone will keep their eyes peeled and not allow incompetent people into our team," he said.

"As for the losses caused by the people arranged by Liu Chao, the company also bears responsibility. We need to standardize the way shareholders make personnel arrangements," he added.

"Let’s discuss this issue now and draft a charter to avoid such situations in the future."

The chairman didn’t directly state how Liu Chao should be held accountable.

After all, how could Liu Chao be punished? He is a shareholder.

It isn’t feasible to make others compensate with shares.

This matter is not easily pinned on someone else.

It needs to be carefully deliberated.

However, everyone was extremely displeased with Liu Chao.

In the future, Liu Chao’s words in the company would probably carry little weight.

At most, he would receive some dividends.

After the meeting, Liu Chao called Dong Qikang directly and gave him a fierce scolding.

He had been hoping that by having Dong Qikang handle this task well and steady his position at Lijing Group, his own influence at Lijing Group would increase.

But now that the task had not been handled properly and had instead been botched, he had fallen out of favor with everyone at Lijing Group.

"This Shen Dong, damn it, he’s toxic! There’s never any good when he’s involved!" Liu Chao frustratingly almost vomited blood.

...

The next day.

Guang City.

Shen Dong and his team had breakfast and went to Jiamei Company again.

A senior-level meeting was convened.

In the meeting room, there were a few shareholders and senior managers present.

The meeting decided that Shen Qiuyue would continue to serve as the general manager.

Neither shareholders nor senior managers had any objections to this decision.

Additionally, there was the question of Jiamei Company’s development.

Shen Qiuyue said, "Our company’s technology is mature, and the products we have developed are without issues. Our sales plummeted and we encountered difficulties because someone slandered our company’s products. I suspect it was done by people from Lijing Group to take over our company, but I don’t have any evidence."

Shen Dong said, "Since we have no evidence, let’s put this matter aside for now and not dwell on it. Let’s look ahead and see how we can sell our products."

Shen Qiuyue said, "Mr. Shen, if it had been before, I might not have had a solution, but now that you have become the largest shareholder of our company, it shouldn’t be a problem. Your Dongyan Guild can completely clarify the situation and promote our company’s products. I believe that without the negative news, combined with increased visibility from promotion, there shouldn’t be a problem with sales."

Shen Dong nodded, "Good, I will handle this aspect. You should primarily focus on product quality; as long as we have good products, we will be able to sell them."

Last night during dinner, he had a conversation with Shen Qiuyue and realized she indeed had shortcomings in sales and was more inclined towards management and technology.

So there was no need for her to get involved in that area. Shen Dong could handle it, as long as he coordinated well with Jiamei Company’s sales department.

"This reassures me," Shen Dong said.

"Mr. Shen, product quality must be up to par; otherwise, once we lose our reputation, we lose everything, and my businesses will be impacted as well," Shen Dong said seriously.

"Rest assured, our company’s product quality is absolutely the highest standard in the industry," Shen Qiuyue assured.

"Sure," Shen Dong nodded, "I’ll find some time to hold a special live-streamed sales event for the company. I believe we can achieve quite good results," Shen Dong said.

"That’s great," Shen Qiuyue said excitedly.

Being able to sell products through Dongyan Guild’s live streamers would not only clear out the inventory but also enhance the product’s brand recognition—it was killing two birds with one stone.

Then they discussed some other issues concerning the company.

After the meeting, Shen Dong’s phone started ringing.

It was from an unknown number.

Upon answering, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man, "Hello, Mr. Shen, I’m Mo Xuehai, the chairman of Lijing Group."

"What can I do for you, Chairman Mo?" Shen Dong asked.

"I heard that you’ve acquired Jiamei Company, haven’t you?" Mo Xuehai inquired.

"Yes," Shen Dong confirmed.

"Mr. Shen, our company’s people had been negotiating with Jiamei Company, yet you managed to snatch it right from under our noses. Quite impressive," Mo Xuehai said with a chuckle.

"Chairman Mo, you didn’t call just to give me compliments, did you? I’m quite busy, so if there’s something you want to say, just say it," Shen Dong said, showing little interest in small talk.

"Mr. Shen, you’re a straight talker, so I won’t beat around the bush. I want to buy Jiamei Company and am willing to pay a premium of fifty million to take over its shares from you. Moreover, I know you’ve been eager to buy into Lijing Group. We’re willing to sell you a 10% stake at market value. What do you think?" Mo Xuehai made his offer cheerfully.

In his view, Shen Dong wouldn’t refuse.

After all, Dongyan Investment had shown a strong desire to acquire a stake in Lijing Group.

With such an excellent offer on the table, it should be enough to sway Shen Dong.

And by simply transferring the shares, Shen Dong would make a quick fifty million.

Where could one find such a lucrative opportunity?

The 10% stake was something he had managed to gather by convincing the other shareholders.

Liu Chao alone had contributed 3%, while the remaining shareholders had each offered 1%.

This was because of the meeting last night, where it was decided that Liu Chao should be responsible for the failure to acquire Jiamei Company.

That was the only way to appease the anger of the other shareholders.

With no choice, Liu Chao had agreed.

It was stipulated in the acquisition contract that if someone caused significant losses to the group because of their own fault, they had to take responsibility—it was simply following the contract.

Otherwise, Liu Chao would definitely not have agreed.

Shen Dong smiled slightly, "I’m sorry, Chairman Mo, but I have no intention of selling Jiamei Company’s shares."

If it had been before he took notice of Jiamei Company, he would have been thrilled if Mo Xuehai offered him a 10% stake at market price.

But now, he could only laugh it off!

He had no interest whatsoever.

You see, it was only because Lijing Group acquired Jiamei Company and obtained its technology that they were able to go public.

Without Jiamei’s technology, it was uncertain whether Lijing Group could even list on the stock market.

Now, there was no need to invest in Lijing Group anymore.

He believed that Jiamei Company would surpass Lijing Group and become a behemoth in the beauty industry with a market value of over one hundred billion.

Upon hearing Shen Dong’s response, Mo Xuehai on the other end of the line was completely stunned.

This was not at all what he had envisioned.

It took him a good while to recover before he hastily said, "Mr. Shen, didn’t you previously have a strong interest in owning a stake in our company? By acquiring Jiamei Company, you intended to enter the beauty industry. Our Lijing Group is much stronger than Jiamei Company."

"Chairman Mo, I’m sorry, but I’ve changed my mind. I believe in Jiamei Company’s potential for growth. Well, I have other matters to attend to, goodbye," Shen Dong said.

There was no point in continuing the conversation.

In Shen Dong’s eyes, Lijing Group’s growth potential was far less than that of Jiamei Company.

"What’s going on with this Shen Dong? How could he not agree to such favorable terms?"

On the other side of the phone, Mo Xuehai put down the handset and furrowed his brows.
