NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Shareholders’ Meeting! Lao Mo! Twin Daughters Return Home:
The time was 9 o’clock, and the shareholders’ meeting began.
Xu Hao entered the conference room punctually.
He the stood in front of the conference table and glanced at the people gathered there.
At this moment, about a dozen people were sitting in the conference room.
They were all shareholders of the Xu Group.
Among the group of people, some owned more than ten percent of the shares, while others owned as little as one percent.
“The reason for summoning everyone here today for a board meeting is that I want to discuss the company’s transformation…”
The Xu Group developed rapidly, which caught the tailwind of soaring housing prices.
Wasn’t there a saying that goes well here? Standing in the tailwind, even a pig can fly…
Especially someone like him, an ambitious man with brains and ruthlessness.
The Xu Group’s operating strategy was to build houses everywhere, sell them to cash out, and then continue building houses.
Sometimes, when money wasn’t enough, they borrowed money.
The market value of the Xu Group was there, and many banks were willing to lend to him…
Such an operating strategy undoubtedly carried great risks.
The memory of Evergrande’s bankruptcy in his previous life was vivid.
Building so many houses, bankruptcy would be a light consequence if the wind changed one day.
They might end up with hundreds of billions in debt…
Transformation… didn’t mean giving up the real estate industry.
Xu Hao planned to take the boutique route.
For example, Tang Cheng One Product, Yihe Mountain Villa, and Xiangshan Villa were building some well-known communities.
In addition, another project built urban complexes.
During this recent period, Xu Hao planned to implement these two projects…
The remaining cash flow would be used to enter other industries.
When Xu Hao voiced his thoughts, the room was filled with chatter.
The Xu Group had been developing rapidly, and they didn’t understand why Xu Hao suddenly decided to transform the company.
Seeing the people whispering below, Xu Hao smiled dismissively…
Of course, they have the right to refuse, and he won’t change his decision anyway.
“Because this is the first transformation, I don’t know what the future will hold?”
“So… in order to prevent you from taking risks, I plan to buy your shares at twice the market price.”
“How do you all feel about this?”
After saying this all at once, Xu Hao smiled and looked at everyone.
This was an opportunity he gave to these people.
If they were sensible, they would hand over their shares obediently and leave…
If they still wanted to stay in the company to suck blood even after such a high-handed speech, Xu Hao didn’t mind sending them to meet after-life.
Hearing Xu Hao’s arrogant words, the group of shareholders were speechless with anger.
But, there was nothing they could do… Xu Hao held the most shares among them all, after all.
Even if they all opposed him, it wouldn’t make any difference.
After Xu Hao had been so unfair in dismissing people yesterday, some people considered it and, gritting their teeth, expressed their willingness to exchange their shares for money.
With the first one on board came the second, the third…
In the end, only three people in the conference room were unwilling to hand over their shares.
They were also the three people with the most shares among them.
After investing in the Xu Group, they had gained enormous benefits and weren’t willing to leave.
Xu Group’s development was clear to them.
It could be said to be ever-changing.
Even though the group was developing well now, they couldn’t figure it out why did Xu Hao suddenly decide to transform it?
But… they knew one thing.
Who was Xu Hao?
From rags to riches, would he suddenly act stupid?
The reason for the transformation must be for greater benefits…
In short, they wouldn’t lose out if they followed Xu Hao’s steps closely.
“Alright, today’s meeting ends here…”
Xu Hao announced the end of the meeting. Before leaving, his eyes swept over the three people.
…
The next things were simple.
Xu Hao had people handle the share transfer procedures, and there were no surprises.
Feeling good, he walked around the company.
Along the way, he felt a heavy atmosphere…
Because he fired too many people yesterday, the remaining employees were all a bit nervous.
They were afraid that they would be fired the next moment.
Xu Hao was well-versed in managing subordinates.
If some people were fired, others had to be promoted.
Back in his office, he began organizing the data and promoted and raised salaries for those capable employees. He then explained why he fired people and the upcoming transformation of the company.
The company was about to grow rapidly. As long as they made contributions, they could be promoted and get a raise.
He played the workplace PUA technique to perfection…
The restless employees gradually quieted down with Xu Hao’s explanation and real promotions.
Those who didn’t get a promotion seized the opportunity of the company’s transformation and wanted to work harder.
The promoted ones were happy but didn’t dare relax, fearing being replaced by others.
Such a virtuous cycle…
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
In addition to managing the company, Xu Hao collected basic information about the three shareholders who were unwilling to give up their shares.
“Zheng Xuelin, fifty-eight years old, residing in… has thirteen percent of the shares.”
“Lu Qinghong… has nine percent of the shares.”
“Li Ping… has seven percent of the shares.”
Xu Hao called Li Kun into the office.
“Pass this document to Lao Mo and have him work on the people in the document, collecting detailed information about their families.”
“Understood.”
Lao Mo was an expert he supported.
He handled some things that Xu Hao couldn’t do conveniently.
Things like murder forced buying and selling, and framing others were all handed over to him…
Lao Mo, known in the underworld as the Butcher Mo.
Originally just a fisherman, Xu Hao went there often to eat fish.
After knowing he had extraordinary skills, Xu Hao thought about recruiting him.
For many years since he took the executioner under his wing, he handled many shady affairs…
Correspondingly, Xu Hao paid him to recruit soldiers and develop power.
The current Blood Butcher Society was already somewhat famous in the underground world of Shanghai city.
In the evening, when Xu Hao returned home and saw that Su Wanqiu had already recovered, he felt a surge of desire…
Just as the duo were about to ignite the fire in the bedroom.
With a ‘click,’ the door of the villa opened, and a pair of beautiful and almost identical teenage girls walked in.
