The next morning, when Xiao Zheng got up, Lin Huayin was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen. After washing up, he had breakfast with Old Lin, and then opened the newspaper to read.
Today was Friday, but he didn't plan to go to Xin Ao Building. Because he had more important places to go.
Jufeng Building was less than half an hour away from Xin Ao Building.
Today, he would attend the first board meeting of Jufeng Network. The purpose was to protect Hu Yishan's position as the chairman of the board.
Jufeng Network was founded only two years later than Lin's. Under the leadership of Hu Yishan and a group of elites, Jufeng Network repeatedly reached new heights and became the overlord of the Internet in one fell swoop. Even Lin's, the strongest enterprise in Asia, couldn't compete in this field.
Of course, that was before Lin's spent a lot of money to open up the Internet.
Now, Lin's share of the Internet market was less than 10%. But the competition in the business world often didn't look at the present, but the future. With Lin's backing, as long as this behemoth wanted to take root in the Internet, Jufeng Network couldn't compete with it. Even Xin Ao Group, the superstar in the Internet field, only dared to say that it could compete with it.
If they wanted to suppress Lin's — first of all, they didn't have enough money.
But everyone knew that Xin Ao Group had just entered the A-list. Many fields hadn't been revitalized yet. Some were still in the research and development stage. But all of this was because Xin Ao Group hadn't been listed and hadn't received financing. Once they had sufficient funds, who dared to say that Xin Ao Group wouldn't become the second Lin's and dominate Asia?
Of course, it was also possible that Xin Ao Group had too much money and couldn't manage that huge amount of funds, causing it to go bankrupt.
This wasn't a fantasy. There were even many examples.
Jufeng Network was the most typical example.
During the start-up period, Hu Yishan displayed his superb technical ability and foresight. With his understanding of the Internet field, he became the overlord of the Internet in one fell swoop.
But with the intervention of the capitalists, a lot of funds were poured in. Hu Yishan couldn't manage such a big plate. Several investments failed, causing Jufeng Network to stagnate. Now, it was being attacked by two giants, and its position as the overlord was in danger. Even Jufeng Network, which he had built himself, might be handed over to others. He had to rely on external help to fight with Lin's. How tragic.
Therefore, who could guarantee that after the listing, Xin Ao would continue the glory of the Lin Group and not follow the old path of Jufeng Network?
The business world was unpredictable. Even the most professional appraiser could not accurately judge Xin Ao's future.
Xiao Taohong, who was quite influential in Xin Ao, personally came to pick up Xiao Zheng, and then they went straight to Jufeng Building.
In the car, Xiao Zheng flipped through the information that Ma Choi Jun had prepared in advance. He sorted out his thoughts. His brows furrowed slightly.
"Mr Xiao, is there trouble at the board meeting today?"
After spending so much time with Xiao Zheng, Xiao Taohong had a good understanding of Xiao Zheng's condition. Through the rearview mirror, she saw Xiao Zheng's slightly furrowed brows. Xiao Taohong knew that her boss was having a headache over the board meeting.
Xiao Zheng gently shook his head and said with a smile, "When did you change your profession to physiognomy?"
Xiao Taohong stuck out her tongue and said, "The senior management of the company has a lot of complaints about the investment in Jufeng Network. If Mr Xiao hadn't initiated this plan, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to succeed. "
It was probably only in front of Xiao Zheng that her mischievous side could be revealed. In the outside world, she was now Xiao Zheng's secretary, who was in a high position. An important role next to the heart of power. She still had to have basic self-restraint.
"It's healthy to have arguments. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was no real unity. "Xiao Zheng said with a Smile and did not delve into this issue.
His eyes fell on the information again. Xiao Zheng was calculating the direction of the board meeting in his mind.
Hu Yishan had been defeated many times, so his support in the board was not high. Previously, he had barely stabilized the internal situation with his skills and connections. But it was overthrown by Lin with ulterior motives. Not only was he passive, but he might also lose everything.
Now, the three wealthy families, represented by Xiao Zheng, had entered the game and all supported Hu Yishan's re-election. Theoretically speaking, he had a high chance of winning. Especially the amount of investment he had pulled in had exceeded that of Lin's.
But Xiao Zheng still had no confidence.
Because Lin Laoyao, who was quite cunning.
He did not know who would be the representative sent by Lin's. He also did not know how many of the current shareholders of Jufeng Network would support Hu Yishan instead of Lin's.
In short, today's board meeting would not be simple. Xiao Zheng had to prepare for the worst. Even if in Hu Yishan's eyes, he had already won.
When he arrived at Jufeng Building, Hu Yishan personally greeted him at the entrance. He showed his special respect to Xiao Zheng. Along the way, countless employees of Jufeng Network also secretly glanced at Xiao Zheng with complicated and strange eyes.
Xin Ao, which was led by Xiao Zheng, was the main culprit for Jufeng Network's decline. But now, when the boss met with Xiao Zheng, not only did he not complain, but he also praised him.
He even invested a large amount of money in Jufeng Network. He was here to attend the board meeting.
This was the cruel and merciless business war. One second, they were enemies, and the next, they could hit it off for the sake of profit.
Many employees secretly sighed. When could they be as flexible as the boss, when could they be the boss?
"There are a total of 15 members of the board. Because today's meeting is very important, they are all here." As the two of them toured the company structure of Jufeng Network, Hu Yishan introduced in a low voice. "Including the four new shareholders, the total number of shareholders is zero. There are exactly 21 of them. "
Smile, Xiao Zheng nodded and said in a low voice, "How many of those old shareholders will support you?"
"The situation is very complicated." Hu Yishan frowned slightly and said with pursed lips. "Recently, I have been in contact with those old guys. Most of them were vague and did not want to express their position. Maybe they are also waiting to see. "
Xiao Zheng nodded and expressed his understanding.
Since Lin Laoyao made a move, those shareholders would not easily express their position. Even if Hu Yishan had the support of Xiao Zheng and the others. But in the eyes of some old people, the value of the gold added up was still not as pure as Lin Laoyao.
This was the advantage of seniority. No matter how many times you set new records and created countless legends. But you are still too young. Many traditional big shots still trusted people of the same age. And they were unwilling and did not dare to trust the younger generation.
This was human nature. It was difficult to change with one or two exceptions.
With a smile, Xiao Zheng comforted, "They did not express their position to you, and they may not express their position to the Lin family. So, in today's meeting, you must not be suppressed by the Lin family. You must restore the confidence of the shareholders in you. Otherwise, no matter how much money we throw, it will be difficult to turn the situation around. "
Hu Yishan had a pleading look in his eyes. He said bitterly, "I heard that the representative sent by the Lin family this time is none other than Qiu Shou."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart also skipped a beat. He faintly felt uneasy.
This woman, is she asking me to fulfill my promise today?
