In the conference room.
Ye Jianming had already occupied the main seat in the middle.
Although there was a "No Smoking" sign, Ye Jianming still casually held a cigar in his mouth. It was as if he was announcing in advance that from today onwards, this was his territory!
The three seats below were occupied by the three major shareholders who participated in the share transfer.
All three of them looked like they were fat, and there was a strong sense of greed between their brows. One look and you could tell that they were capitalists who only cared about money and not people!
Further down, there were even smaller shareholders. They did not have much equity in their hands. Today, they were only here for a routine meeting and did not have the actual right to speak.
More than half of these minor shareholders were members of the Lan family. All of them looked haggard, and it was obvious that they had not slept the entire night.
Logically speaking, even if the Lan Group changed owners, the Lan family's shares would still be there. At worst, they would be kicked out of the board of directors and not be allowed to participate in the company's management.
Every year, the group's profits would still be distributed to them based on their shares. It was not to the extent that they would lose everything and their families!
But!
Fundamentally, this acquisition was not a normal acquisition!
The Yap Family and the Zhuang Family were in cahoots with each other. The acquisition was not to manage the Lan Group, but to take revenge on the Lan Family! Revenge on Chen!
First of all, Lan Mengcheng had made Zhuang Bifan a cuckold. This was not just a slap in the face, it was a complete disgrace to the Zhuang Family!
As one of the four most powerful families in Dragon City, how could the Zhuang family accept such humiliation?
It would be a wonder if they did not destroy the Lan family!
Secondly, Chen Xiaobei had killed Yap Tianlin. Yap Jianming wanted revenge at all costs. His plan was to start with the Lan Family!
Suppress the members of the Lan Family, force Lan to submit, and then Chen to submit!
Because of this, once the Lan Organization fell into the hands of the Yap Family, the Yap Family and the Zhuang Family would definitely work together to pressure the Lan Family and use all sorts of despicable and shameless methods to persecute the Lan Family!
It was only a matter of time before the Lan family lost everything and died.
Crack!
At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened by Old Qin.
Lan Zhengguo walked in slowly. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and it was difficult for him to move. His face was very pale, and it was as if his soul had left him.
"Where do I sit?"
Lan Zhengguo looked around. There were no more empty seats in the conference room. He could only stand at the door.
"Why do you ask when you already know the answer? I only let you come as a formality! Once the contract is signed, the chairman of Lan Group will be me, Ye Jianming! "
Yap Jianming said coldly, "The first thing I'll do when I take office is to kick you and everyone from the Lan family out of the board! It will only take two or three minutes. You should be able to stand, right? "
"Uh …"
Lan Zhengguo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. His body tilted and he almost fainted on the spot.
"Master!"
Old Qin quickly supported Lan Zhengguo.
When they saw the scene before them, all the members of the Lan Clan revealed expressions of despair, and their hearts went completely cold.
From the moment Lan Mengcheng got engaged, they knew that the Zhuang Family was above the Lan Family!
Now that the matter had been exposed, the final consequence would not be as simple as being kicked out of the board of directors!
"Boss Lan! Members of the Lan family! Before I take office, I can give you one more chance! "
Yap Jianming said viciously, "I heard that Lan is a very filial child. As long as you guys call her and ask her to bring Chen Xiaobei back, I will let you guys stay on the board! Furthermore, I won't make things difficult for you anymore! "
"Really? Are you telling the truth? "
"Alright! We are willing to make this call! Let's call … Let's call … "
The members of the Lan family took out their cell phones and dialed Lan's number as if they had found a life-saving straw.
Clearly, this was the effect that Yap Jianming wanted.
Forcing the Lan family was equivalent to forcing Lan Mengcheng, and Chen Xiaobei.
"All of you, put down your cell phones!"
Lan Zhengguo suddenly roared. His body was already wobbling, and he said with difficulty, "Don't forget! The one who wants us dead is the Zhuang Family! "
"If you call Lan Mengcheng, not only will we die, but you will also kill her!"
"She has sacrificed too much for this family. As her elders, can't you act like one?"
"I'm begging you! We will take care of this on our own! Don't drag Lan Mengcheng into this! "
Lan Zhengguo's words touched the hearts of the Lan family, and they all put down their cell phones.
All these years, the title of the daughter-in-law of the Zhuang Family was like a mountain on Lan Mengcheng's back. She had to endure pressure and restrictions that she shouldn't have had to endure at such a young age!
Half of the credit for the Lan family's success was due to Lan Mengcheng's forbearance.
No one would dare to make this call, unless their conscience had been eaten by a dog.
"What? Are you going to reject my kindness? "
Yap Jianming's face darkened. "If that's the case, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
There was nothing the Lan family could do. All they could do was wait for the cruel verdict in their despair.
"Three of you!"
Yap Jianming looked at the three shareholders who were about to sell their shares. "We can sign the contract now!"
Ring ring ring!
Ring ring ring!
Ring ring ring!
Suddenly, the three shareholders' cell phones rang at the same time, as if they had planned it beforehand.
The three of them ignored Yap Jianming and took out their phones to answer the call. It was as if they had something important to discuss.
"Alright, alright! It's settled then! "
"Now? That's great! "
"Great! The sooner the better! Now is even better! "
The three of them were all smiles, nodding their heads like chickens pecking at grains.
"Huh?"
Yap Jianming frowned. There must be something fishy going on! How could such a coincidence happen out of nowhere?
Lan Zhengguo looked surprised as well, but he could not see anything suspicious about it.
Not long after, the three shareholders finished their calls.
"Three of you, stop hesitating. Let's sign the contract now!" Yap Jianming urged, afraid that things might change.
"I'm sorry! CEO Yap, I'm not signing the contract anymore! "
"I'm not signing it either!"
"Me too!"
The three shareholders expressed their stance one after another, giving the same answer.
"What?!"
Yap Jianming almost spat out a mouthful of blood at the ceiling.
His meticulously planned plan was just one step away from succeeding, but the three of them suddenly changed their minds. It was like watching a short movie where the pants were taken off, but the Calabash Brothers were released instead!
"Why? Why are you going back on your word? "Yap Jianming was furious.
"Because someone offered twice as much as you! As long as you're not an idiot, you should know what to do! "The three shareholders said.
"Who is it? How dare he steal Master Zhuang's and my business! Does he not want to stay in the Chinese business world anymore? "Yap Jianming gritted his teeth.
"It's me!"
