Chapter 769: Chapter 0770: Dividing the Flesh [Second Update]

When Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun pulled up and realized they were at the crematorium, a different kind of smile appeared on their faces. Glancing at each other, it seemed they both understood the other’s thoughts.

After getting out of the car, the two men hid their smiles and approached Xia Lan. Deng Zhiyong asked, "Sister-in-law, is Old Li here?"

"He was brought here this morning,"

Xia Lan replied.

As Xia Lan and Ye Qiu went inside and Luo Fei and the other five waited outside, about twenty minutes passed. Xia Lan signed her name personally, received Li Fei’s urn, and walked out to see Feng Zhiqiang and his two companions’ expressions drastically change.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Gao Xiangyang inquired.

"Li Fei’s ashes are inside, and now we’re taking him to the Cemetery," Xia Lan replied.

Xia Lan had been crying for a week. Now, facing these events again, she had no more Tears left, only a sense of helplessness in her voice.

Without Ye Qiu’s help this time, she truly didn’t know what to do?

Feng Zhiqiang and his two partners, as well as Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun, could only get into their cars first.

However, now Feng Zhiqiang and his companions got into the car driven by Deng Zhiyong.

Ye Qiu, Luo Fei, and Xia Lan got into Ye Qiu’s car, with Luo Fei holding Li Fei’s urn.

In Ye Qiu’s car, Ye Qiu drove towards the Cemetery Xia Lan had mentioned.

The Cemetery had only recently been purchased by Xia Lan, and its price was comparable to those of the new luxury houses in the city. However, the tomb she bought for Li Fei was not very large, only about four or five square meters in size.

While driving towards the Cemetery, Xia Lan asked, "You just saw those five shareholders, what do you think of them?"

"Sister-in-law, I’ve basically figured out those five, none of them easy to deal with. Of course, let’s first take care of Boss Li’s burial before discussing this," Ye Qiu suggested.

Xia Lan nodded, feeling the same way.

In another car, Feng Zhiqiang, Gao Xiangyang, Ding Jianwei, An Lijun, and Deng Zhiyong, who was driving, were silent at first, as if they couldn’t accept the reality.

Especially Feng Zhiqiang and Gao Xiangyang, who were very familiar with Li Fei, having been college classmates for four years. As for Ding Jianwei and the others, they were business acquaintances Li Fei met later, just slightly better than fair-weather friends.

They never expected Li Fei to pass away.

Now, the five of them shared a common interest: the Eiffel Chain Hotel.

The Eiffel Chain Hotel, with over a hundred hotels, including three and four-star establishments, was valued at several tens of billions. Also, its annual turnover exceeded one hundred billion, making the hotel group an irresistible prize, coveted by all.

While Li Fei was alive, they certainly had no ambitions, knowing Li Fei was a strong leader who disliked interference from others. They were aware of this when they became shareholders.

Therefore, with Li Fei alive, they had no chance of entering the hotel’s upper management and were merely major shareholders and honorary vice chairmen, with no real power except for the annual dividends.

Now that Li Fei was gone, however, they had other ideas.

Feng Zhiqiang was the first to speak, "Old Li passed away suddenly, and I’m struggling to accept it. After all, I’ve known him for so long, and he built the Eiffel Chain Hotel progressively. But, I know Old Li’s dream was to develop the hotel into a top 500 global enterprise, aspiring to be like the Hilton International Hotel chain. However, now that Old Li is gone suddenly, what do you think will happen to the hotel?"

"What do you mean what will happen?"

Gao Xiangyang asked.

Although Gao Xiangyang had his own thoughts, he did not voice them.

Ding Jianwei then said, "Li Fei and I are friends, and business partners as well, and we’ve become quite familiar with each other over time. I know that the Eiffel Hotel is Li Fei’s life’s work, so I wouldn’t want to see anything go wrong with the hotel."

"What are your thoughts then? Let’s discuss them first, and then we can talk to sister-in-law to see what she thinks," An Lijun said.

"Thoughts? My thought is that the management rights of the hotel should definitely remain with our sister-in-law since she holds more than eighty percent of Old Li’s shares. However, I know our sister-in-law is just a college graduate who, after marrying Old Li, has never dealt with company affairs. Now, with thousands of employees at the hotel, if she were to take Old Li’s position, I’m afraid the hotel would quickly fall into disarray," Feng Zhiqiang said.

Clearly, this was not only his thought but also the opinion of the five individuals present, including Gao Xiangyang.

These five men looked down on Xia Lan, believing that had she not married Li Fei, she would probably be nothing more than an ordinary housewife.

On this point, their thoughts were the same. However, as to what their true intentions were, these five men definitely had different ideas.

"What do you all think?" Feng Zhiqiang asked.

"I think the managerial skills of our sister-in-law might be average, so my idea is to work together with everyone present to jointly manage the Eiffel Chain Hotel. Each of us would oversee different departments, fulfilling Old Li’s final wishes," Gao Xiangyang said.

Clearly, Gao Xiangyang’s idea was the same as before. In the past, he only wanted to manage one department and be a senior executive at the company.

But now, with Li Fei gone, his ambitions had grown to overseeing multiple departments.

Ding Jianwei, Deng Zhiyong, and An Lijun had different thoughts upon hearing this.

Ding Jianwei said, "I’m a university professor and don’t have much time. However, for the hotel management, I can certainly recommend some talents."

Obviously, Ding Jianwei wanted to have a hand in hotel management. If he recommended so-called talents, those recommended would undoubtedly be his people.

And as a professor at the university, he would certainly have trained many students.

The other four were well aware of this.

Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun had already understood the intentions of these three. They wanted a share of the pie, especially the management rights of the hotel group. For them, gaining a share of the management rights would make a difference. They could then slowly take the hotel group public or acquire a larger shareholding, which would certainly be a change from their current situation.

However, Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun had different plans from the other three, who wanted more than just a piece of the pie; they wanted to sell the meat before dividing it.

The two wanted to sell the hotel group to someone else for a high price, make a large sum of money, and then, under the new ownership, take up positions within the hotel, becoming part of the management team.

"What do you two think?"

Seeing Deng Zhiyong and An Lijun remaining silent, Ding Jianwei asked.

After all, the five of them currently held a small percentage of the company’s shares. They had to stick together, then persuade Xia Lan to relinquish the company’s management rights. If the management rights ended up in their hands, the situation would be completely reversed from when Li Fei was alive.

In Li Fei’s time, they had no management rights, only share dividends. But if they wrested control of management rights, not only would they enjoy share dividends, but they would also gain actual power within the company.
