Chapter 1484 - 1483
Wei Jiansheng felt that he wasn’t that bad; his shortcomings were only apparent when compared to Lin Fan. In reality, he had been doing business with his father from a young age and had received many compliments. In his youth, some even called him a business genius.
Later, he independently founded Cherry Entertainment, which is now one of the three major giants in the entertainment industry.
From Wei Jiansheng’s achievements, it’s clear he’s no ordinary person.
But why does he seem so mediocre in front of Lin Fan?
Wei Jiansheng is also frustrated; he really isn’t that bad.
There’s only one answer: Lin Fan is truly exceptional, too outstanding. Lin Fan is a genius of geniuses, making other geniuses pale in comparison.
Whenever Lin Fan appears, other so-called elite talents can only live in his shadow.
Naturally, it’s hard for Wei Jiansheng to swallow this.
If he thought he wasn’t as good as Lin Fan himself, it wouldn’t be a big deal. What Wei Jiansheng couldn’t stand was his father also looking down on him because of it.
Ever since becoming enemies with the Mortal Group, he was often scolded, seemingly becoming a good-for-nothing fool in Wei Tiansheng’s eyes.
Can this be tolerated?
He must fight back, defeat Lin Fan, and make his father see him in a new light. He wants to be his father’s pride once again.
He misses the old days when no matter where he went, he received praise. Others would give his father a thumbs up, admiring the tiger father for not producing a dog of a son, and his father would show a proud expression.
He wants to prove himself; he can still make his father proud.
Moreover, he heard that his older brother, Wei Jisheng, seems to be planning something recently. He knows Wei Jisheng’s goal is to return to his father’s side.
After all, as the eldest son of the Wei Family, the family’s estate is generally inherited by the eldest son unless the eldest is particularly incompetent.
Previously, Wei Jisheng was always working by Wei Tiansheng’s side. It was only because Wei Jisheng was ineffective in dealing with Lin Fan that Wei Tiansheng demoted him, allowing Wei Jiansheng to take the opportunity to rise.
There’s reason to believe that what Wei Jisheng is planning may be related to Lin Fan. Wei Jisheng is secretly plotting against Lin Fan too!
If Wei Jisheng succeeds, he will surely regain Wei Tiansheng’s trust, putting Wei Jiansheng in danger.
I absolutely cannot let my big brother succeed!
Wei Jiansheng thought to himself that he must quickly acquire the Golden Jade Group and couldn’t let his father down again.
Wei Jiansheng’s ambitions were vast; his goal wasn’t just Cherry Entertainment. He wanted to inherit the Wangu Group and become the richest man in Jiangnan.
All obstacles in front of him need to be cleared, including Lin Fan and his big brother, Wei Jisheng!
After leaving Wei Tiansheng’s office, Wei Jiansheng returned to his office and immediately called Golden Jade Group’s president, Li Jianshui.
The phone didn’t connect.
Wei Jiansheng checked the time; it wasn’t off work yet. For a company like Golden Jade, working extra hours according to the 9-9-6 schedule was common.
What is Li Jianshui doing?
Hang City, Golden Jade Group.
Li Jianshui was having a meeting with shareholders.
Li Jianshui expressed that Golden Jade Group must be sold, as it’s the final way to save the company.
Now there’s a problem: who should Golden Jade Group be sold to? Surprisingly, the shareholders found that despite their company being on the verge of bankruptcy, it had caught the attention of the top two big financial groups in Jiangnan.
Lin Fan’s Ruofan Capital, the richest man in Yun City, and Wei Tiansheng’s Wangu Group, the richest man in Jiangnan, both wanted to acquire their company!
This plunged the company’s shareholders into controversy.
Some had faith in Lin Fan, while others agreed to sell to Wei Tiansheng.
Li Jianshui was among the latter, firmly stating the company should be sold to Wei Tiansheng.
"Why should we sell the company to Mr. Wei?" Li Jianshui explained. "I have ample reasons. Fundamentally, whose city is Hang City? It’s Mr. Wei’s, of course. Selling to Wangu will give us proximity to Wangu, and surely, it will lead to a revival!"
"Secondly, we are all Hang City locals. Whether our life’s or work’s focus is here, we shouldn’t offend the Wei Family. I ask all of you here, do you want to be troubled by Mr. Wei?"
"Moreover, the third reason is that the offer from Wangu is no less than Mortal’s. Since both big conglomerates want to acquire, the highest bidder naturally wins. Who wouldn’t want more money, right?"
Li Jianshui felt his three reasons were quite sufficient, insisting the company must be sold to Wangu.
"President Li, what you say makes sense, but I still want to express my thoughts!" a shareholder said. "Based on my understanding of both Mortal and Wangu, I believe that Mortal has more potential. Mortal is a technology company, aligning with our company’s nature, and as a new company, its innovation capability is evident. I have reason to believe that selling to Mortal would guarantee a bright future! By comparison, Wangu is a real estate company, and I can’t imagine what Wangu could bring us. Moreover, I heard that it’s Ruofan Capital that first took interest in us."
Li Jianshui disagreed: "What could Wangu bring us? Do I even need to say? It clearly brings us loads of cash! Isn’t that enough? Think about it, if we’re selling anyway, why not sell closer to home? If Mortal were to relocate the company to Yun City, wouldn’t that be troublesome; attending shareholder meetings would require a trip to Yun City."
The same shareholder spoke again: "President Li, what I mean is, nothing else is as important as the company’s future development..."
Li Jianshui interrupted: "No need to say more, future development this, future development that; you all understand the current situation of the company. What’s there to talk about development? It’s best to sell the company early, sell it to Wangu; that’s the real way. I advise you, once the company is sold to Wangu, cash out quickly; don’t get tied to this, freeing yourself is the right path."
This remark slightly angered the shareholder: "President Li, your comment is somewhat excessive. The company is President Li’s life work, not just scrap metal to be sold off!"
Li Jianshui sneered: "Is it not scrap metal now? If my brother were still here, he would agree with my approach, cutting losses decisively! If you have no objections, sign the document in front of you agreeing to sell to Wangu!"
In front of each shareholder was an identical document, already prepared by Li Jianshui. He was determined to sell the company this time.
"If my father were still here, he would definitely not agree with your approach!"
At that moment, a voice spoke.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone in the conference room was shocked, thinking they had misheard.
To them, the voice was too familiar—it was Li Zixia’s voice!
Li Jianshui’s expression changed; he quickly turned around.
He saw Li Zixia walking in from outside.
"Zixia!" Li Jianshui was astonished; Li Zixia suddenly came back!
