Chapter 491 The Contract is Real!

Chapter 491: Chapter 491 The Contract is Real!

"This contract is real!" Zhou Jian asserted after checking it.

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhuangjia and his two companions were stunned, wondering why the young man before them would declare a clearly fake contract to be real. Could he also have a grudge against Tang Ming?

"Damn Tang Ming, he had already sold the shares." Qin Aotian cursed bitterly, upset that he was involuntarily sharing the spoils.

"Hmph, even if it’s real, what does that change?" Jack snorted disdainfully,

"Since they’ve come forward, let them transfer the shares."

"Exactly, exactly, owning forty percent of the shares combined with this twenty percent means even if Tang Ming were to return, he would have lost control of the group." Zhou Jian nodded repeatedly, professionally reminding everyone.

"Damn, who are you to tell us to transfer them, treating me like what?"

Sun Zhuangjia, unfamiliar with Jack, asked with a displeased face.

"Heh, Uncle Qin, why don’t you tell him who we are?" Jack sneered, ready to bully with his status.

"I am Qin Aotian, the head of the Qin Family, this man is Yang Wei, known abroad as Jack, representing the Yang Family, and these two are..."

Qin Aotian began to introduce proudly.

"I thought you were some big shots. Turns out you’re just from the Qin Family!" Sun Zhuangjia interrupted him dismissively before Qin Aotian could finish.

At those words, both Qin Aotian and Jack furrowed their brows—seemingly, the other party had significant influence.

"Who exactly are you?" Qin Aotian asked cautiously, squinting his eyes.

"My name is Sun Zhuangjia, and I belong to the Martial Arts Family of the Sun Family in the provincial city," Sun Zhuangjia introduced proudly:

"These are Ma Zhisong and Qin Kong, also from Martial Arts Families."

"The Sun Family of the provincial city?" Qin Aotian’s expression slightly changed, knowing the strength of the provincial city’s Sun Family, a true Martial Arts Family, incomparable to the Qin Family.

"Uncle Qin, do you know the Sun Family?" Seeing Qin Aotian’s troubled expression, Jack asked:

"Do they have a Four-star Martial Master in their family?"

"Nephew, we really shouldn’t offend the Sun Family easily; their influence spreads across the whole province, and they also operate in the pharmaceutical industry. As for whether they have a Four-star Martial Master, I’m not sure, but making enemies with them would benefit us in no way," Qin Aotian advised quietly:

"The Minghuang Group will inevitably expand beyond Songlan, targeting the entire province and even the nation. Having the Sun Family’s support in the background would be beneficial to us."

"If that’s the case, then let’s accept it," Jack thought for a moment, feeling that Qin Aotian made sense and decided not to dwell on it further. Since everyone involved had grievances with Tang Ming, why not divide his assets, and gain additional resources for future developments.

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Sun Zhuangjia asked discontentedly:

"Just tell us outright, do you want to snatch our shares, or do we all make money together in the future?"

"Hehe, everyone makes money. Since you are from the Sun Family, we welcome you to join us," Qin Aotian immediately said with a laugh.

"That’s more like it!" Sun Zhuangjia nodded in satisfaction and extended his hand to shake with Qin Aotian.

"Congratulations, congratulations to all for acquiring such a lucrative company as the Minghuang Group," Zhou Jian said while applauding and offering his compliments.

After that, the group got to know each other in the meeting room and discussed the company’s future development together.

When Ma Zhisong and Qin Kong found out Yao Buji and Jin Gang were Four-star Martial Masters, both were quite frightened. Although Sun Zhuangjia was more composed, he too had a cold sweat, realizing they were indeed snatching food from the jaws of a tiger.

After some discussion, Qin Aotian and the others made two major decisions, one was to rename the company to New Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group; had it not been for the Minghuang Group’s already prominent reputation, they would have completely changed the name.

The second decision was to increase the price of the Detoxification Liquid from 99 yuan per bottle to 199 yuan, thus enabling greater profits.

Although Zhou Jian opposed the price increase, his objection was unanimously overruled by Qin Aotian and the other profit-minded shareholders.

After the meeting and having informed their families, Qin Aotian hosted a lunch for everyone.

Zhou Jian declined, citing that he was not a shareholder. The others didn’t really care about Zhou Jian and paid him no attention.

As Qin Aotian and the others left the company for lunch, Zhou Jian stood in the office bathroom, heartachingly holding a bottle and pouring its contents into the toilet.

"Tang Ming, my influence is weak, and I can’t protect your company, but I definitely won’t let your efforts go to waste," Zhou Jian felt a pang of sorrow and murmured to himself:

"Without the original liquid, they absolutely can’t produce the Detoxification Liquid. Without the Detoxification Liquid, the Minghuang Group will become a bottomless pit of endless losses. As long as you don’t return, Minghuang Group won’t see a day of profit. This is all I can do, and I hope you return soon."

In the whole Minghuang Group, aside from Zhou Dafu who was most loyal to Tang Ming, Zhou Jian was the second most loyal; however, he never showed it openly, repaying Tang Ming’s grace through his actions all this time.

Today, when he suddenly received the news from several shareholders that they were forced to sell the company, Zhou Jian was dumbfounded.

Initially, Zhou Jian thought about resisting, but considering that big families like the Ma Family, the Zhou Family, and the Li Family were unable to oppose, how could he, an ordinary man, confront those high-profile individuals head-on?

He could have just left, but Zhou Jian couldn’t bear to let Tang Ming’s company fall into the hands of thieves, especially since Tang Ming had trusted him so much and entrusted the Minghuang Group to him; leaving now would weigh on his conscience.

After careful deliberation, Zhou Jian decided to play the role of "traitor." When all the members from the three big families were kicked out of Minghuang Group, he stayed behind reluctantly, waiting for Tang Ming’s return.

Now, by destroying the most crucial raw liquid of Minghuang Group’s Detoxification Liquid, the company essentially lost its backbone. To develop new hit products, the required capital would be massive, and this part of the expenses would eventually fall on the heads of Qin Aotian and others.

In just one day, the powers in Songlan City were reshuffled. The Ma Family and Zhou Family, due to their two Martial Arts Masters sustaining severe injuries and being incapacitated, were dethroned from the Martial Arts Family arena, never to recover.

The Li Family had invested too much in Minghuang Group and now faced total losses, severely weakened.

In contrast, the Qin Family was flourishing, not only taking over Minghuang Group but also having to their name two One-star Martial Masters and one Four-star Martial Master, quickly becoming the supremes of Songlan City.
