215: Equity

Two days later, Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng went to Shanhai City together. With the funds injected by Wang Cheng in the name of Eimer, the Dongwang Group had passed their biggest difficulties. However, it did not mean that the Sun Jian father and son could now sit back and relax.

It had been revealed that Sun Jian was the boss behind the New Territories. Although he pleaded that Mr. Zhao, the person in charge of the New Territories, was truly guilty, the matter was still not over with. In addition, they still had to appease those who had helped them with the tax evasion. All these required money to be taken care of. If one was not good, Sun Jian might have to go to jail [?].

The weather in Shanhai City was not as cold as it was before the new year, but the temperature had dropped.

Everyone's mood to go to work was not very high just after the new year. Although pedestrians were rushing everywhere, their interest in working was not very high.

Because they had made an appointment with the Sun Jian father and son, they went directly to the headquarters of Dongwang Group after getting off the plane. As the second largest shareholder of Dongwang Group, Wang Cheng was bound to attend. This was also the first shareholders meeting that Dongwang Group held after solving the danger of tax evasion.

After a round of cleaning, the shareholders meeting had lost many familiar faces, and added a few faces. Some shareholders who had not thrown out the shares from their hands were secretly glad. They frequently looked at the door before the meeting began, as if waiting for someone.

"Mr. Sun, didn’t you say that all shareholders have been invited, why haven't I seen anyone yet?" Liu Dong, who had just entered the door, walked over with Sun Jian. He owned 4% of the shares of Dongwang Group, and was a big shareholder in Dongwang Group who had a voice. However, he was still overwhelmed by the Sun Jian father and son, who had the majority shares. He didn’t have the right to decide many things, so his relationship with the Sun Jian father and son was not very good. This obviously gave him a somewhat optimistic mentality.

When Sun Jian saw him, his face immediately showed hidden impatience. During this time, the group had an accident. This Liu Tan did not run on him, but was now like this. He was probably laughing at them behind his back. However, he still had to keep up his image, so he said without a smile: "So it is Liu Dong. The meeting has not yet started. I am not in a hurry, so what are you worrying about?"

[T/N: dong (Liu ‘Dong’) = chairman]

"Then I wish for the meeting to go as smoothly as Mr. Sun hopes," Liu Dong said with a smile.

Sun Jian frowned. He left the meeting room and went to the front desk, saying to Secretary Chen, "Are you sure you’ve contacted those new shareholders?"

"They have been contacted, President, but only Eimer has responded. The other shareholders have not given definite answers for the time being. I think they may not come." The shareholders' meeting was about to begin. Those people who had not yet been seen were most likely not planning to come.

"You can contact me again. If they really don't plan on coming, just forget it." Sun Jian was a bit surprised, but as long as the people from Eimer came, it didn't matter if those people came or not.

"Yes, President."

The people who were accompanying Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng were the two assistants who accompanied Fang He last time. The front desk of Dongwang Group had seen them. Although the leaders turned out to be unknown people, the employees did not dare to snub them and immediately dialed inside to inform the higher-ups that the representative of the Eimer Group had arrived.

Sun Jian was very glad to receive the call, and immediately came to his father, Sun Degang, whispering: "Dad, the representative of Eimer Group has come."

"You greet the other shareholders, I will pick them up from outside. However, don't make any mistakes. Whether the company can make a comeback depends on this." Sun Degang was now back at the company, and many important things were done by himself, as he was not careless.

Sun Jian could only nod. After such a serious incident, he knew that his father would not leave everything to him until the company stabilized again. Although he was very aggrieved, it was really his troubles that caused this incident. He couldn’t turn his face with his father at this time.

Unfortunately, there is nothing absolute in this world.

If Sun Jian knew that the representative of Eimer Group would be Wang Cheng, he would never have promised to exchange 15% of the shares for Eimer Group’s funds two days ago. Tao Jing had told him about the company at the bar in the incident with Wang Cheng. After that, he sent someone to investigate, and found that the background of Huaying Real Estate was deeper than he thought, which meant that he was temporarily unable to move Wang Cheng. He had to avoid them.

Sun Degang's happy voice sounded at the door. Sun Jian stood up immediately, but the smile on his face froze when he saw the person walking through.

"Come here, the two of you, please come and sit here." Sun Degang did not notice the strangeness of his son, and introduced Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng to him and several other shareholders who had more weight. He also introduced: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chu, this is my son, the current president of Dongwang, next to him are Liu Dong, Li Dong ... they are all shareholders of the company."

"Hello all of you, my family name is Zhou. This time I came to participate in the shareholders' meeting of Dongwang Group, not on behalf of Eimer Group, but in my own name. Please advise me." Wang Cheng glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at the ugly-faced Sun Jian, smiling at him.

Sun Degang froze, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"

Wang Cheng said, "It means that the owner of 15% of the shares in your company is me, not Eimer Group. Your son should know this point better than you, Sun Dong can ask your son."

Sun Degang finally found out that his son was acting strange. He invited them to take their seats first, then pulled Sun Jian out while Liu Dong and Wang Cheng were talking. "What the hell is going on? Are you hiding something from me?"

The corners of Sun Jian’s mouth twitched, and he finally calmed down. However, his face was so gloomy and heavy that it would sink in water. "Dad, this Mr. Zhou and I have some grudges. Although there is no evidence, I suspect the company was initially investigated because of him. This time, the acquisition of the company's shares is most likely directed towards me."

Sun Degang was startled, "What are you talking about?"

"Before the incident happened with the company, I happened to have a conflict with him. If it was a former enemy, the other party would definitely not be able to knock us down."

Sun Degang's face was very ugly. His blood pressure suddenly rose, and his chest violently undulated. "So you mean to tell me, we are now summoning an enemy who wants to bring the company down, is it?"

Sun Jian clenched his fists, "I'm afraid that's not all. If their purpose is to overthrow us and replace the Sun family's position in the Dongwang Group, they will never be satisfied with 15% of the shares. Other shareholders are very likely won over by them, as well as the previously purchased scattered stocks and the stocks that we took the initiative to release. These scattered pieces combined are probably not less than the shares we have now." At this time, Secretary Chen hurriedly came over.

"President, Chairman, something big happened, and it’s not good . I just contacted the other shareholders who are not present, and they all said that their boss has come." This news was tantamount to worsening the situation. Sun Degang, who still had a glimmer of hope, was directly destroyed. He didn’t even need to ask to know who their boss was.

Sun Degang hurriedly returned to the meeting room, only to see Liu Tan and Mr. Zhou talking happily with each other. His heart became a little bit choked. He was afraid that today's shareholder meeting would not go well.

As the father and son expected, Wang Cheng, as the second-largest shareholder, proposed to re-select the company's president, and it was justified. During Sun Jian’s tenure, the company did incur huge losses. However, because of the benefits of tax evasion, the shareholders present all had shares. The people who had originally wanted to support Wang Cheng had lost their minds. The company was investigated precisely because Sun Jian couldn’t be counted on. And these days, when Sun Jian and his son worked hard to collect money and pay off all their taxes, the company was facing a crisis of seizure.

Although Sun Degang's words stabilized the other shareholders, Wang Cheng, as the company's second largest shareholder, did have this right.

Sun Jian stood up, "Mr. Zhou, in addition to my portion of the Sun family's shares in the Dongwang Group, which was transferred to you, there is 42% left. Even if the shareholders' meeting is reconvened, you don't own as many shares as we do."

At this time, Fang He’s two assistants came in handy. They took out the information they had brought, and it was all shares obtained from the previous black-box operation. The total number of zeros was very high.

Sun Jian had anticipated this and let Secretary Chen calculate immediately.

Secretary Chen quickly calculated it, and then passed the final value to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian took a look and smiled proudly: "Mr. Zhou, I regret to tell you that your shareholding is only 35.5%, which is still a long way from surpassing us." Chu Yifeng looked at Liu Tan.

After receiving the hint, Liu Tan immediately said: "Add in my shares, I support Mr. Zhou."

The smile on Sun Jian's face faded a little. He had a premonition just now, and sure enough, Liu Tan, the old fox, was bought early on. "Even if you add Liu Dong’s 4%, it is still 2.5% short."

"I think President Sun might have misremembered. Your Sun family doesn’t own 42%, but 39%." Wang Cheng looked at him and crossed his legs, with his hands folded on his legs. He had the aura of a superior; his smile looked more like a treacherous and elegant fox’s.

Sun Jian was stunned, "What are you saying? How could the Sun family not own 42%?" When they transferred shares to Eimer Group, they had already calculated the 42% explicitly.

Then he saw Wang Cheng’s assistant take out another document, which was taken by Sun Degang before he could take it. He grew even more excited than Sun Jian, but when he saw the contents of the first page, the information suddenly fell to the ground, and his body collapsed into the chair at the head of the table.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Sun Jian was startled.

Sun Degang just shook his hands. "Your uncle, he sold the shares."

Sun Jian's uncle owned 3% of the company's shares, and he sold them all to Wang Cheng. In other words, Wang Cheng now owned 3.5% more of the shares than them.
