Chapter 769: Seven hundred and sixty-four, our company’s new shareholder

Gu Chen was listening quietly by the side.

Originally, Gu Chen hadn’t taken the matter seriously.

But now that it had been brought up to this extent, it seemed that he had to treat it with due seriousness.

After some time, they arrived outside a large hotel.

Although he wasn’t interested, the constant stream of cars outside the hotel indicated that there were important guests inside today.

Upon their arrival, their car was directly driven to the hotel’s entrance.

Generally, cars are supposed to park in the underground parking lot or outside the hotel.

But parking directly underneath the hotel was actually a symbol of privilege at this establishment.

Typically, only those ranking first locally could enjoy such perks.

Such a spot being reserved for the chairman caught Gu Chen by surprise.

If one were to consider it, it seemed that his chairman was quite an influential figure.

That’s what he was guessing in his mind at the time.

Of course, he didn’t know what the situation actually was; it was just casual speculation, just for fun.

No matter what his identity or status, Gu Chen thought it was quite normal.

This person, in both behavior and substance, seemed much more outstanding than the average person.

Thus, it was only right for such individuals to be respected and taken care of by society, thanks to their own abilities.

After Gu Chen and he got out of the car, a plump little fellow immediately rushed over to greet them.

"I spotted you from afar,"

the chairman immediately said with a laugh upon seeing the little plump man.

It was as if he was looking at an old friend he had known for countless years.

The little plump man blushed upon hearing this.

"I’m really sorry, I’ve been so busy today. Otherwise, I would have had the intention to pick you up from your place."

At this moment, he seemed genuinely apologetic to the chairman for today’s affairs.

The chairman, upon hearing this, dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, alright, what’s with all this nonsense between you and me? Why are you bothering with all these pointless words? Don’t you know what kind of person I am? Hurry up and bring the menu, so I can order some food, I’m starving."

That’s what the chairman said then, not allowing the plump little man to continue with such useless talk.

Gu Chen, listening by the side, thought the chairman was very impressive.

Just with a few brief words, he instantly brought the atmosphere between the two much closer.

And at that moment, the little plump man slowly turned his gaze towards Gu Chen.

"May I know whence this gentleman has come?" he said to Gu Chen, then looked back at the chairman.

After hearing this, the chairman’s face immediately lost its playful expression and became extremely serious.

"Let me introduce you. This is Gu Chen, the second largest shareholder in our Maotai Liquor Company, aside from myself,"

he said, introducing Gu Chen’s identity.

The little plump man, upon hearing Gu Chen’s identity, looked utterly astonished.

He stood there gazing at Gu Chen, as if trying to ascertain whether it was true.

Mainly because it was rather shocking news.

Having known the chairman for such a long time, he was very aware of the internal situation of the Maotai Liquor Company.

For all this time, he had never heard the chairman mention anything about a second largest shareholder; he had always thought that in the company, the chairman was the only one who called the shots.

"Mr. Gu, right? Hello, hello,"

the man said as he reached out to shake hands with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded and smiled in response, though his face seemed a bit awkward, as if he had not yet recovered from the sudden turn of events.

"Mr. Gu, when did you become a shareholder of Maotai Liquor Company?"

He immediately asked Gu Chen, displaying intense curiosity, as if he wanted to know the answer right then and there.

But at that moment, Gu Chen slowly began to speak,

"It was probably around yesterday. That’s when I became a shareholder of the company.

Of course, according to the contract, I have been the second largest shareholder for about ten years."

Gu Chen then tentatively explained this to him.

Gu Chen’s explanation was very intriguing and hard to fathom.

Even Boss Gu seemed curious, looking at Gu Chen as if he hadn’t expected Gu Chen to say such a thing.

Gu Chen’s answer was quite appropriate and normal, albeit a bit too guarded; when they reached out, Gu Chen almost thought it was going to lead to a confrontation.

"Mr. Gu, I hope we can have the opportunity for deeper cooperation in the future.

Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself.

My name is Song, and I’m mainly engaged in small-scale aquaculture in the local area.

I wonder if there will be a chance to collaborate with Boss Gu in the future.

But if there is, I hope Boss Gu won’t hesitate to give me a call, I guarantee to offer the highest purchase price on the market to date,"

he said gradually to Gu Chen.

By the time he finished, it was as if he were an old friend of Gu Chen.

After hearing this, Gu Chen nodded; his real reason for coming to this banquet was to make friends.

Since this guy had taken the initiative to approach him amicably, there was no need for him to continue being so reserved.

He promptly and proactively greeted the man, then quickly re-engaged with the banquet.

"Keep an eye on that aquaculture guy," the chairman reminded Gu Chen then.

At this moment, Gu Chen asked the chairman in front of him, "How about we go in and have a look now? I’ve never been here before, and I’m curious about the entertainment atmosphere here."

After hearing this, the chairman was quite surprised; he had not expected Gu Chen to be interested in such matters.

"If you’re interested, I can take you to even more places in the future. But generally speaking, they’re nothing special, pretty much all the same and lacking substance.

Visiting them, I think, ultimately might just be a waste of your time,"

the chairman said rather bluntly on the phone, while praising, he felt it was still unsubstantial.
