Chapter 246 The Successor

Lin's consortium headquarters, the oval meeting room on the top floor.

There are hundreds of people sitting around an oval conference table, men and women in suits and leather shoes.

The leader is Lin Tian's father, Lin Chaoliang.

Today is the new round of shareholders' meeting of Lin's consortium.

All the people present are shareholders of Lin's consortium.

After years of development, although Lin's consortium is surnamed Lin in name, it is no longer a pure family business.

A large amount of financing in the early stage enabled the Lin's consortium to grow rapidly, and became the most influential enterprise in Z city in just 20 years.

But everything has pros and cons.

Excessive financing has also gradually dispersed the equity of Lin's consortium. Although Lin Chaoliang is still the largest shareholder of Lin's consortium today, the total shareholding is only 30.00%.

For the most part, he can still keep his word, but the days of dictatorship are long gone.

At the meeting, Sterdan Quinn, the second largest shareholder, asked Lin Chaoliang.

Sterdan Quinn is American, but because he has lived in China for a long time, he speaks Mandarin very fluently.

He and Lin Chaoliang can be said to be close friends, and Sterdan contributed a lot to the early construction of the Lin Consortium.

However, as Lin's consortium grows stronger, the two have different views on business.

Lin Chaoliang hopes to develop real estate, including real estate, hotels, resorts and other industries, while Sterdan is also keenly aware that the Internet is bound to be the general trend, so he hopes that Lin's consortium can tilt company resources to the Internet and extend its tentacles to the entertainment industry.

However, Lin Chaoliang is devoted to the development of real estate. For the Internet, he thinks the water is too deep and has been reluctant to touch it.

This caused Sterdan to become increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Chaoliang.

Sterdan asked: "Lin Chaoliang, we found that the company recently had a large transaction, exceeding 10 billion yuan. Such a huge project should be handed over to the board of directors to discuss whether it should invest, but you unilaterally signed the contract directly. "

Lin Chaoliang smiled slightly: "This is why you urgently called the shareholders' meeting today?"

Sterdan raised his sparse eyebrows: "Don't you think this problem is not serious enough?"

Lin Chaoliang said: "As the company's largest shareholder and chairman, it is not an exaggeration to sign a bill of one billion?"

Sterdan said: "But one billion is not a small list. The key is that you plan to use this one billion to clean up a certain polluted land in Changping. Thinking about something."

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone looked at Lin Chaoliang with strange eyes.

Lin Chaoliang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he said without hesitation: "You are right, but I exchanged one billion for that piece of land, and that piece of land is now owned by our Lin Consortium. Is there any problem?"

"In my opinion, that piece of land is not worth a billion!" Sterdan said, raising his voice.

Lin Chaoliang said: "That's just what you think, not everyone thinks like you, don't they?"

Everyone was silent. No matter what, Lin Chaoliang, as the founder of Lin's, had a higher prestige within the company than Sterdan.

Sterdan had expected that most people would not be on his side.

He continued: "But I also found out that before you signed this contract, your son was in the bureau, and after signing the contract, your son came out. Do you have anything to say about this? ?”

Lin Chaoliang squinted his eyes. He didn't expect Sterdan to find out this step.

Now that he has found this step, he believes that Sterdan must have the corresponding evidence in his hands, and it is definitely not a wise move to argue at this time.

Lin Chaoliang coughed lightly: "I don't deny that signing this contract means saving my son."

As soon as these words came out, the meeting room was full of uproar.

Isn't Lin Chaoliang blatantly using power for personal gain?
If he used his own money, that would be fine, but now he is using the company's money. As shareholders, they all have a share in the billion.

However, Lin Chaoliang continued: "Although this is the case, it is not only that. You have been with me for many years, and you know my character."

"Will I do something that is really not beneficial to our Lin Consortium?"

"In the short term, this piece of land is indeed not a good location, and we even need to invest money to clean up the pollution."

"However, there are a large number of contiguous lots next to this land. It is conceivable that today and tomorrow, with the increasing urbanization, Changping will also face shortage of land and insufficient housing."

"And such a large contiguous piece of land will be our golden tree at that time."

Lin Chaoliang's confident words directly moved everyone present.

Everyone just felt that their chairman was too far-sighted.

But Sterdan sneered ruthlessly: "That's just your wishful thinking. Besides, can you be sure about that time? What if it's ten years later, or twenty years later, it will become a settlement?"

Lin Chaoliang shrugged: "The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. I think there is nothing wrong with my decision-making. Although I have the heart to save my son, there is no behavior that harms the interests of the company or shareholders. My investment , with a clear conscience."

Some shareholders nodded one after another, and Lin Chaoliang's frankness made them more confident in him.

Stern suddenly laughed.

"Actually, Lin Chaoliang, my views on real estate may not be as good as yours, but I still know how to look at a person."

"Just like I affirmed you back then, I affirm that you are a talent."

Lin Chaoliang said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment."

Sterdan continued: "But I don't think your son is. If the Lin consortium is handed over to your son in the future, I, of course, and many other people are not very willing to accept it."

Lin Chaoliang did not expect that Sterdan would suddenly raise this question, and was slightly taken aback.

Then, he looked around.

He found that many of them lowered their heads this time and didn't look at him like before.

This also means that not only Sterdan is concerned about this issue, but other shareholders in the company are also concerned about this issue.

However, only Sterdan dared to speak out.

Lin Chaoliang said slowly: "I'm not yet 50 years old, so it's too early to talk about the succession of the company?"

Sterdan said: "It's not too early. Maybe you can still be in office for many years, but the cultivation of successors is indeed about to start."

"But now it seems that your son is obviously not suitable to be the heir of the group, so you should re-select one or several successors to train, and finally the survival of the fittest will be eliminated."
