Chapter 749: 744 Mysterious Investment Tycoon

Meanwhile, at this very moment, all the executives in the company’s boardroom stopped speaking.

It was as if everyone had chosen the same time to fall silent unanimously.

No one had anticipated that a single mysterious shareholder could impact the chairman’s attitude so profoundly.

They were all too aware of the kind of person the chairman was, someone who could truly be described as staunch and unyielding.

There was a time when someone had attempted a hostile takeover of a portion of the company’s shares, but the chairman stubbornly refused to sell to them. He even went directly to Ice Lake and almost got into a confrontation there.

For the chairman, the company was his everything, more important than his own life. It affected his father as well; and now, oddly enough, the chairman seemed willing to share this company with a shareholder he had never even met. This struck them as very strange.

After all, given the chairman’s position within the company, nothing could threaten him if he was unwilling.

After the meeting, the chairman returned to his office.

The man hurried to follow him.

He entered the chairman’s office with him.

Once in the office, the chairman asked him very carefully, "Are you certain that the caller just now had only this one demand?"

The man nodded decisively upon hearing this.

"Yes, that was indeed his only request."

Upon hearing this, the chairman hesitated slightly.

Given the company’s current status in the liquor industry,

Gu Chen could have wholly put forward some other request, even some excessive ones.

However, what Gu Chen wanted was simply to use the company as a platform to sell his own liquor, although the chairman found it incomprehensible.

But without further questioning, the chairman let the matter rest. He knew he wouldn’t get more out of it.

At this time, the man asked the chairman, "What exactly is this person’s identity?"

He was very curious and wanted to understand what the deal with Gu Chen was.

After hearing this, the chairman shook his head.

But in the end, he said to him, "This person’s situation is quite complicated, and for now, you can say I don’t know much."

"However, he indeed lent a hand when our company was at its most difficult.

No matter the circumstances today, we can’t possibly abandon him."

The chairman spoke with a sense of righteousness at this time.

"Moreover, the most important thing is that at the inception of our company, they offered an entire fifty million for that 20% stake.

That fifty million was of tremendous help to us; without such capital at the beginning, our company would not be where it is today.

But if they could offer such a significant amount of money back then, it goes to show what kind of background they must have. Keep in mind the state of the domestic market at the time.

Fifty million was an earth-shattering investment."

As the chairman spoke, besides a trace of gratitude, there was also a mix of curiosity and fear.

What he feared was not something else but the background of the mysterious shareholder, Gu Chen.

In that era, very few could come up with fifty million, and he believed that Gu Chen’s background was anything but simple.

For this reason, when facing Gu Chen, he was mostly cautious. Others might not understand the situation, but he understood it fully.

He knew all too well that, with their current capacity, it was absolutely impossible to confront him.

To the company’s management, the company may now seem like a massive entity.

But to the chairman, the company was just in the early stages of growth.

Indeed, if considered on the national stage, it might be sufficient.

But on an international scale, it certainly falls short.

Offending such a figure, who had been a mysterious mogul many years ago, could bring a catastrophe upon the company, he believed.

"You need to understand that if he is willing to join our company,

it would not just be about a fight for shares. If he is willing to help our company, then it means that our company will certainly advance by leaps and bounds in the liquor industry.

With his investment, I believe he could bring in more connections for our company and possibly even more investments."

At this time, the chairman said earnestly to the man.

After hearing all this, the man almost grasped what the chairman meant.

If what the chairman said is to be taken as an indication, then the current situation is a positive one.

"Should I call him back in a bit and ask when he will arrive?" the man said cleverly to the chairman.

He thought that perhaps making a call now would be beneficial.

But after he finished speaking, the chairman shook his head.

"In this matter, it’s better to respond to all changes with constancy.

If he calls again, just tell me so I can speak with him directly," he said.

With these words spoken,

the fellow nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Gu Chen, the person involved, was unaware of all these messy affairs.

He only wanted to make a phone call to see if the system’s reward had truly been delivered.

After the call, he got the answer he wanted.

It was not much different from what he had anticipated.

In the end, the system was somewhat reliable.

If he could get the help of this liquor company, his small liquor business would soar to great heights.

If he could utilize their platform, his company could send liquor all over the world, and the resultant income was self-evident.

Gu Chen never considered selling his shares to these companies because he was well aware of their future market value. Selling now would merely be idiocy.

Continuing his steadfast approach, he hoped there wouldn’t be any mishaps.

Meanwhile, the phone rang at his home on the other side of town.

Every time the phone at home rang, Gu Chen knew he was about to be troubled again.

This time was no different; he didn’t regard the call as anything good, so he went ahead and answered.

After connecting, he heard a man’s voice on the other end.

"Is this Gu Chen? Let’s have a talk," the man said.

The man on the phone spoke with an air of arrogance, as if a senior was reprimanding a junior.
