Chapter 663 - 663 614 Dominance
663: Chapter 614: Dominance 663: Chapter 614: Dominance Liu Hun perked up as soon as he heard the news, sensing that the obstacle in front of him was about to be removed.
“Go into details.”
“The original majority shareholder of Jiahe Company, Xiang Dong, died the night before last, and his eldest son inherited all his property, including fifty-one percent of the shares in Jiahe Entertainment Company,” Zhong Xiao explained to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun immediately grasped the implication of Zhong Xiao’s words.
“Have you made contact with him?”
“Yes, I’ve looked into his background.
He used to run with the gangster Tiger from Xingdong.
After Xingdong disbanded and was absorbed, there was some trouble, but I handled it,” Zhong Xiao explained to Liu Hun.
“Can you arrange a meeting with him?” Liu Hun asked Zhong Xiao, knowing that only by meeting with this person could they have a proper discussion.
“It’s possible, I’ve already set a time with him, Hongji Tea House at two o’clock this afternoon,” said Zhong Xiao to Liu Hun.
“Good!” After hanging up the phone, Liu Hun glanced at his watch.
It was past twelve o’clock, and he immediately left the house.
When he arrived at Hongji Tea House, Zhong Xiao and another man who looked somewhat frail but had piercing eyes like Liu Li were sitting in a corner drinking tea.
“Brother Liu, you’ve arrived,” Zhong Xiao said, rising quickly to greet Liu Hun.
“Have a seat,” Liu Hun gestured for Zhong Xiao to sit down and then had Hong Wei bring over some tea snacks.
“Hello, I am Liu Hun,” he said, extending his hand to the man.
The man politely shook hands with Liu Hun, who could only feel the man’s hand was icy cold, as cold as his gaze.
“May I inquire your honorable surname?” Liu Hun asked with a smile.
“Xiang Qiang!” the man announced his name.
Liu Hun nodded, recognizing from the man’s appearance that he was a straightforward man of the underworld.
So, he cut to the chase, “I can only offer condolences for your father’s passing.
The reason I invited you here today is for a matter of business.”
“Thank you.
Please, speak,” Xiang Qiang said directly to Liu Hun.
“I want the shares of Jiahe Entertainment that you hold.
Name your conditions whenever you’re ready,” Liu Hun said outright.
To Liu Hun’s surprise, Xiang Qiang took a sip of tea, and a sorrowful look that Liu Hun could hardly believe appeared in his eyes.
“I’m not interested in these things.
It wouldn’t have mattered to me who I sold them to, but… after all, they are the fruits of the old man’s labor.
Wang Wenhua was actually someone the old man favored, but…” Xiang Qiang said, his contempt for Wang Wenhua and Chen Xing’s scandal report evident as he flicked the paper away, “I don’t trust such people.
As for you… you seem trustworthy.”
“Make an offer,” Liu Hun was eager to hear these words.
Xiang Qiang didn’t seem to be in a hurry to name his price, but instead said, “My dream was always to become the overlord of the underworld in Hong Kong, but… heh, it seems that someone has already taken that spot.” Xiang Qiang said, glancing at Zhong Xiao with a complex expression.
“The underworld no longer exists; everything has become meaningless,” Xiang Qiang said with a tinge of sadness.
Seeing Xiang Qiang about to leave and the deal about to fall apart, Liu Hun quickly grabbed hold of Xiang Qiang and said, “I can give you an underworld.”
“Oh?” Xiang Qiang’s eyes lit up.
“I’m very interested to hear this.”
Liu Hun looked at Xiang Qiang for a long while before he finally uttered two words, “Australia City!”
“Australia City?” Xiang Qiang didn’t expect Liu Hun to bring up Australia City.
“Yes, Australia City!
It’s a brand-new world, a brand-new underworld.
I can give you everything you want.
We could partner up; you could become the underworld king of Australia City, how does that sound?” Liu Hun asked with an enticing smile, already planning for Australia City.
Xiang Qiang pondered the idea for a long time in his head and eventually couldn’t let go of his dream of the underworld, so he agreed, “Fine!
I’ll sell my shares to you!
Help me get established in Australia City, and I’ll handle the rest!”
“It’s a deal!” Liu Hun nodded, and they reached an agreement.
After signing the stock transfer agreement, Liu Hun had Zhong Xiao set up an affiliate gangster company for Xiang Qiang and gave him enough money to make his mark in Australia City.
It’s about time to take back Australia City; having someone explore it for him was the best scenario Liu Hun could have hoped for, he thought to himself.
A week later, a brand-new gang—New Yi’an—emerged in Australia City.
The indiscretions of Wang Huawen had a severe impact on the stock price of Jiahe Entertainment Group, and rumors were rampant that Jiahe would go bankrupt following the closure of Wanchun.
In the boardroom of Jiahe Entertainment Company’s headquarters, a board meeting was being held.
The seat left vacant by Xiang Dong’s departure was temporarily filled by Wang Wenhua.
“I believe everyone is aware of the current situation facing Jiahe,” Director Liu Qingliu began, “The passing of Chairman Xiang at this critical moment is truly regrettable.
His departure is not only a loss for Jiahe Film but also for the Hong Kong Entertainment Industry.”
Liu Qingliu finished speaking, and everyone fell into deep thought and silent mourning.
Three minutes later, Liu Qingliu spoke again, “Jiahe Film is the investment of everyone here, including myself.
I believe no one here wants to see their investment suffer losses, right?”
The shareholders nodded in agreement after hearing this, while Wang Wenhua had a vague feeling that Liu Qingliu was picking a fight with him.
“As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and Jiahe Film cannot be without a chairman for a day, especially during this crisis moment when our stock continues to plummet.
I think someone must stand up and take charge,” Liu Qingliu openly stated his opinion.
“Yes, yes, Director Liu is making a lot of sense.
We urgently need someone to steer Jiahe out of this predicament,” another director echoed.
“How about we elect based on the number of shares held?” Suddenly, someone proposed.
This was the last thing Liu Qingliu wanted to hear.
He quickly interjected, “I hope everyone here understands a fact!
Who is to blame for the current predicament of our Jiahe Company?
To regroup our forces, at least we should think about holding someone responsible.”
“What do you mean by that, Liu Qingliu?” Wang Wenhua immediately retorted, knowing that today’s meeting was targeting him, hence he had made several arrangements in advance.
“What I mean is crystal clear to some people!” Liu Qingliu sneered, “Wang Wenhua, think about it.
If it hadn’t been for your scandal with Chen Xing at this critical moment, how could it have affected Jiahe’s stock price!”
“Is this solely my fault?
The newspaper comments also said that Jiahe’s stock price was greatly affected by Elder Xiang’s death!” Wang Wenhua argued vehemently, then spoke with disdain, “Besides, which one of us sitting here hasn’t visited those pleasure-seeking places?
It’s just my bad luck to have been caught on camera.”
Hearing Wang Wenhua’s sophistry, Liu Qingliu was at a momentary loss for words.
“Everybody!
Listen to me,” a shareholder then stood up and said, “Although Director Wang did wrong, our Jiahe stock price is indeed most affected by Elder Xiang’s departure.
And over the years, Director Wang has also exhausted himself for Jiahe—this is a fact we all recognize, right?
Moreover, Elder Xiang mentioned more than once that the chairman position should be handed over to Director Wang in the future, and we have all heard this, haven’t we?”
“Yes, I remember Elder Xiang saying that.”
“Seems like it, I have that impression too.”
“Director Wang is very capable.
Going to places of pleasure is not a big deal.”
“…”
The shareholders below voiced their support, and many started to lean towards speaking for Wang Wenhua.
Seeing the situation swing in his favor, Wang Wenhua hurriedly took charge and said, “Well then, let’s have a democratic vote and elect a new chairman.
That way, no one should have any criticism.” After speaking, Wang Wenhua deliberately glanced at Liu Qingliu.
Liu Qingliu could not tolerate Wang Wenhua easily dominating the board, and immediately questioned, “I would like to ask Director Wang, how should the voting be carried out?
Based on shares or one vote per person?”
Hearing Liu Qingliu’s question, Wang Wenhua immediately began to think harder, silently tallying the shares he held, the most in the room, and believing that with his supporters, victory was assured.
If the voting were per capita, there was a high chance of being overturned, so he said, “Those with more shares have a greater stake and therefore more of a say.
I believe the voting should be based on the number of shares held!”
After a heated debate, Wang Wenhua’s proposal eventually prevailed.
“Alright!
The voting begins now!” Wang Wenhua said with a smile, already prepared to take the chairman’s position.
“I nominate Director Wang for chairman!” A director leaning towards Wang Wenhua was the first to stand up.
“I nominate Director Liu Qingliu for chairman!” Another director allied with Liu Qingliu also stood up.
“…”
After a round of nominations, it finally came down to a showdown between Wang Wenhua and Liu Qingliu!
“Those in favor of Director Wang Wenhua as chairman, please raise your hands!” a shareholder announced.
A total of four shareholders, including Wang Wenhua himself, raised their hands.
“Those in favor of Director Liu Qingliu as chairman, please raise your hands!”
This time, still including Liu Qingliu himself, four shareholders raised their hands.
“In that case…
Director Wang Wenhua has received thirty percent of the share support!
And Director Liu Qingliu has received nineteen percent!
So I hereby announce…”
“Wait a minute!” Suddenly a voice interrupted another director’s speech and Wang Wenhua’s dream.
“Who are you?
What are you shouting about here?
Where’s security?” Wang Wenhua was annoyed by someone who had come out of nowhere interrupting his election as chairman.
“Are you all electing a chairman?” The newcomer walked over to the seat Xiang Dong had left vacant and then sat down with a thump.
“Just who are you?
Is this your seat?
Get up right now!” Wang Wenhua stood up and scolded the newcomer—this chair could only be his.
“I am…
Liu Hun!” Liu Hun said with a smile to an infuriated Wang Wenhua, then waved a share transfer document at all the shareholders present and said, “We’re electing a chairman by share votes, right?”
