Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

The shareholders' meeting outside was just a show for everyone to watch. The actual win or loss was determined after Li Shuo's shareholding in Leng Wen exceeded 50%, and the result of the win or loss was discussed here.

The expressions of Li Shuo and Dong Shanchuan were all fake. In fact, Li Shuo was already the winner, so he could naturally be more tolerant and generous to speed up his efforts to control Leng Wen. Dong Shanchuan was the loser, so he had to appear more harsh and fierce, fearing that if he took another step back, he would be doomed!

Just as Zhou Haiqiong thought of this, she heard Li Shuo whisper, "Uncle Dong, I heard that you still hold 30% of Leng Wen's shares. Are you interested in reducing your holdings? I'll give you a satisfactory price."

Dong Shanchuan narrowed his eyes and leaned forward. Zhou Haiqiong knew that this was a sign of extreme importance.

He asked, "What price did you give Lao Lin and the others?"

"Hey, if someone else asks me this, I definitely won't tell them. But you're different. Even if I don't tell you, you'll know it sooner or later! Don't worry, I'll give you an extra 5% on top of their price..."

"Oh? How many shares will you get at a 5% premium?"

"My ideal situation is to acquire 15% of your shares and leave you half. On this basis, for every 1% increase or decrease, the premium will be reduced by 0.5% until the premium is wiped out..."

"Hey, what are you saying? If I sell too much, it won't work. If I sell too little, it won't work either."

"Isn't this to let you continue to shine in the obscure articles? Besides, if you clear out the obscure articles, I won't dare to buy them!"

……

Zhou Haiqiong felt that her eyes had been truly opened. She had never expected that there would be this kind of trick in the acquisition of shares!

Only after listening to the intrigues between the two did she have some understanding:

After all, Dong Shanchuan has been in charge of Lengwen for many years. If he sells out all his shares in Lengwen, it means that he will no longer have any relationship with Lengwen. What if he remembers that Li Shuo tried to seize Lengwen and retaliates against Lengwen?

Similarly, if Li Shuo does not take Dong Shanchuan's shares, he will still be the major shareholder with a 30% controlling stake, on par with the Academy of Drama, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, the best way is to buy half at a high price like Li Shuo is doing now, and let Dong Shanchuan keep the rest. In this way, under the conflict of interests, Dong Shanchuan will naturally do his best for Leng Wen...

The conversation between the two continued, or more precisely, the price negotiation. Dong Shanchuan also saw what Li Shuo meant, so he raised the price, but his words were filled with a hint of pleading:

"Brother Shuo, please give me another 1%. I am old and I will rely on this money for my retirement..."

Li Shuo's tone became increasingly harsh, and he even became less polite in the end: "Boss Dong, the price I'm offering you is already the maximum. You've been in the business world for many years, and have you ever seen a shareholder struggle, or one party buying out the loser's shares? This is the scene left for you, and you'd better take it!"

This is the most direct dialogue between the winner and the loser, and the result is naturally self-evident. Before Li Shuo was about to tear his face off, Dong Shanchuan finally gave in and sold 5.5% of Lengwen Company's shares in his hands at a premium of 15%!

After the negotiation, Li Shuo changed his "harsh" expression, smiled and extended his hand: "Uncle Dong, happy cooperation!"

Dong Shanchuan also had a smile on his face. He bent down slightly when shaking hands with Li Shuo, nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, in the company, you can just call me Lao Dong. Please take care of me in the future..."

"You're welcome. Shall we go back to the meeting room?"

"Mr. Li, please..."

……

After Li Shuo was asked to leave the meeting room by the vice president, Lengwen’s shareholders and executives were immediately furious!

They didn't have the foresight to see that Dong Shanchuan was doomed to fail, but they also knew that the two bosses were going to negotiate!

A group of people gathered around Han Lintao, and everyone discussed with concern:

"I feel the situation is not good. In business negotiations, Li Shuo should not be Dong Shanchuan's opponent..."

"That's right. How talented is Li Shuo? Even if he is a business genius, without decades of experience in the ways of the world, he can't catch up with President Dong."

"You still call him Dong Zong? Have you forgotten the situation we were in when he was in power?"

"Yes, and we have already lined up to go out and welcome Li Shuo..."

Compared to Han Lintao's circle, the group of people following Dong Shanchuan were obviously much more relaxed. Everyone felt that Dong Shanchuan had the situation under control and all they needed to do now was to convince Li Shuo to accept the current situation!

"I told you before, don't worry. What kind of person is our President Dong? Can he be attacked by a little kid?"

"That's right. Everyone just saw it. Li Shuo didn't even dare to say a word at the shareholders' meeting. What can a person like that accomplish?"

The vice president who served as the host of the shareholders' meeting finally couldn't help but make a comment to Li Shuo, and then Li Shuo said, "Oh? Then I'll be the host this time!"

The deputy general manager suddenly turned around and saw Li Shuo walking in from the gate with Zhou Haiqiong and Dong Shanchuan!

For a moment, he even suspected that his eyes were blurry. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and look carefully:

That's right, Li Shuo was in the center position, and Zhou Haiqiong and Dong Shanchuan deliberately fell behind him! The reason why it was said to be deliberate was that Li Shuo stopped to talk to him, and the latter two did not "pass" his shoulders!

This is……

A thunderbolt struck the vice president's head, and he had only one thought in his mind: It's over!

The other people felt similarly to the vice president, especially Dong Shanchuan's people. They realized in an instant that they might have been sold out by Dong Shanchuan!

These people were right, because Dong Shanchuan's bargaining chips with Li Shuo were his subordinates in Lengwen. If they made trouble, even if Li Shuo took control of the board of directors, he would need to make major personnel adjustments at Lengwen, and Lengwen would be in turmoil for a long time...

Now it was different. Just the order of Li Shuo and Dong Shanchuan's entrance gave enough signals! So next...

"The shareholders' meeting has begun again. I will preside over the meeting. Let me start with the previous topic: the new shareholder Zhou Haiqiong will serve as the company's vice president, but I think this is not a good idea because with Ms. Zhou's ability, she can preside over the board of directors for a long time!"

"I propose that Zhou Haiqiong serve as the executive director of Lengwen's board of directors. Who agrees? Who opposes?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent!

Just a second later, Dong Shanchuan was the first to raise his hand: "I agree"

"I agree too!" "I support Mr. Li!"

There were no more questions like "Li Shuo has no qualifications to propose" or "Zhou Haiqiong is a new shareholder". Almost instantly, all shareholders raised their hands!

Li Shuo nodded and said, "Then the proposal is passed. The next topic is..."

In the next short half hour, all the topics that Dong Shanchuan had just postponed were brought up again by Li Shuo, and some of them were even directly changed by Li Shuo!

For example, regarding the ownership of the Grand Prix, the previous topic was "whether to reform the Drama Grand Prix", but what Li Shuo proposed was "how to change the next Grand Prix"!

It is extremely radical to turn the proposal directly into actual action!

But after Dong Shanchuan defected, no one in the Lengwen board of directors dared to go against Li Shuo's wishes, and what he said was passed unanimously with no ambiguity!

"These are the topics we just discussed. Let me add a few words..."

The atmosphere at Lengwen's shareholders' meeting was extremely serious. Everyone was on edge, especially when they heard that Li Shuo had something to "add". Some people who had offended Li Shuo, such as the vice president, were shaking in their legs.

The next moment, Li Shuo smiled gently, leaned back in his chair, and said to everyone in a relaxed manner:

"First, the Drama Academy's shareholding in Lengwen has been reduced to about 30%, and it is no longer the major shareholder of Lengwen. Therefore, I will discuss with President Liu and Vice President Lu to no longer retain the position of honorary chairman of the board of directors arranged by the academy! In addition, within the next year, we will make every effort to acquire the Drama Academy's shareholding and reduce it to less than 20%. Lengwen, as an independently operated cultural company, will re-establish the board of directors, and the board of directors will then elect a formal chairman..."

"Secondly, Dong Shanchuan has resigned as the executive general manager, but he has made great contributions to Lengwen. I propose that he replace Vice President Lu as the chairman of the board of directors in the coming year..."

"Third point, make adjustments to Leng Wen's personnel..."

Although these were serious matters, Li Shuo told them in a relaxed manner, and the content released goodwill to everyone, so as everyone listened, they unconsciously relaxed.

I don't know when Dong Shanchuan started to applaud, and the entire shareholders' meeting was filled with thunderous applause:

"Boss Li is very generous. I think that under the leadership of Boss Li, our Lengwen will continue to grow bigger and stronger and create more glory!"

"Boss Li is really our guiding light. If we follow Boss Li's instructions, we..."

Then there was a lot of flattery, which Li Shuo gladly accepted because the subsequent suggestions he made fully took into account the interests of everyone.

Needless to say, Dong Shanchuan was promoted to the chairman of the board of directors, which was a result that even he himself could not have expected! Although Leng Wenzhong's position was useless, he was the first person in front of Leng Wenming!

The others were happy, not only because they did not follow Dong Shanchuan in being held accountable later, but also because of the blueprint drawn by Li Shuo!

In the eyes of these shareholders, Li Shuo's so-called "acquisition of the college's shares" is nothing more than the embezzlement of "X's assets". This method is very familiar to everyone. Moreover, Li Shuo is the disciple of President Liu, so it is extremely appropriate for him to do this!

To put it bluntly, everyone thinks that Li Shuo is harming the public interest for his own benefit, and will "cut meat" from the Drama Academy next. So, for those who follow Li Shuo, even if they can't eat the meat, it would be great to just drink a sip of the soup!

After Li Shuo finished his speech, the subsequent meeting seemed much duller. After Dong Shanchuan, Zhou Haiqiong and others made summary speeches, the shareholders' meeting ended.

At this point, Lengwen was directly controlled by Li Shuo. This company had been deeply involved in traditional cultural fields such as newspapers, magazines, and publishing for many years. It also held the right to host various "art competitions" and "cultural exhibitions". It can be said that it has a wide range of involvement in the cultural field. Perhaps it cannot bring much monetary benefit to Li Shuo, but it can definitely make Li Shuo's influence in the field of culture and art become undisputed in the entire Yangtze River Delta!

After the shareholders' meeting, Li Shuo held a banquet at a nearby hotel as usual, inviting not only Leng Wen's executives, but also Leng Yi and some leaders of the Academy of Drama.

The matter of Leng Wen has been settled, but Li Shuo's success is also inseparable from the support of these people. For example, the college's asset management office faxed an "agency share authorization letter" to Leng Wen within 10 minutes after receiving Han Lintao's call. These are favors, and Li Shuo still has to repay them.

If you help me today, I will repay you later, this kind of favor exchange can continue and form a stable network of relationships.

Of course, Li Shuo is different from many old guys in that he finds it troublesome to deal with favors, so if he owes someone a favor, he will definitely repay it immediately. For example, at this shareholders' meeting, Han Lintao became Leng Wen's new vice president. In addition, some judges who helped in the Grand Prix received some "consultancy contracts" issued by Leng Wen.

These contracts are of the “no work, just pay” type.

To put it bluntly, Li Shuo's way of repaying favors is still to spend money!

Simple and rough, but everyone who interacts with him says they like this way.

The banquet lasted until after 9 o'clock in the evening. Li Shuo saw that these people were all huge and was just looking for an opportunity to slip away, but he received a call from Lu Ailin.

"I just finished my work here. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Lu Ailin was concerned about the situation on Li Shuo's side, but Li Shuo did not explain it immediately. He just said something vaguely and then used it as an excuse to get up and leave the banquet.

Li Qinghe had been waiting outside the hotel in his Bentley for a long time. After Li Shuo called him, the Bentley drove straight to a department store...

When they got to the place, Li Shuo just got off the car and saw Lu Ailin holding Li Ziqin's hand. The two beauties appeared in front of the department store wearing light down vests. The former said: "I haven't seen you come back for a long time, so I took Qinqin out for a walk..."

Her eyes revealed worry and concern, but she didn't ask directly about the shareholders' meeting. In Lu Ailin's opinion, Li Shuo's going to the shareholders' meeting was likely to be dangerous, and he would be madly suppressed by Dong Shanchuan, so when a man is lonely, don't ask about these things.

As they spoke, the two walked to Li Shuo, and then Lu Ailin frowned again: "Have you been drinking?"

She hated the smell of alcohol, especially white wine. But after she blurted out these words, Lu Ailin suddenly realized that Li Shuo might be "drinking to drown his sorrows", so she immediately changed her words and said, "Did you drink a lot? I see you are a little drunk. Shall we go back and rest now?"

Li Shuo could clearly sense Lu Ailin's changing attitude. He stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, saying casually, "She only drank a little. It's okay. What did you buy when you were shopping? Why are you empty-handed? Let's go back in..."

"No, even if you drank less, you still need to rest. We are just strolling around, there is nothing to buy."

"No, it's my words that count!"

Li Shuo said, without saying anything, half holding Lu Ailin and walked inside. The latter didn't know that Li Shuo had just won and successfully controlled Leng Wen. This man was in high spirits, so naturally he wanted to do whatever he wanted...
