Lin Fan wants to change Huaxin Companyâs decision to support Zhongwei instead.
As soon as this statement was made, the shareholders present immediately changed their expressions.
Zhang Jing angrily said, "Lin Fan, do you know what youâre saying? Donât think that just because youâre the largest shareholder, you can do whatever you want and disregard the companyâs interests!"
Everyone chimed in agreement.
"Not supporting Zhongwei is a decision made after careful consideration by the company; how can it be changed just like that!"
"Exactly, even an announcement has been made!"
"Not supporting is the right choice, we canât be reckless!"
Everyone unanimously opposed Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said calmly, "I know why youâre against it, but as the largest shareholder, I have the right to propose a decision change."
Zhang Jing excitedly said, "If you really knew the reason, you wouldnât be talking about changing the decision! I know what youâre thinking; you think our decision damages our image, shows a lack of backbone, and even led to a drop in stock price. You want to meet everyoneâs expectations, youâre full of youthful passion, you want them to praise you, right?"
Lin Fan said, "Itâs not as you say."
In fact, what decision Huaxin Company makes originally had nothing to do with Lin Fan, but Lin Fan obtained Huaxin shares as a system reward, suddenly becoming the largest shareholder, and there is a system task requiring him to change the decision.
So, what he is doing now is mainly to complete the system task.
He knows there must be a reason for the system to assign such a task.
Zhang Jing sneered, "No need to hide it, I already knew what you were thinking last night. You people, itâs easy to talk, you want passion, you want to vent your anger, but you donât even consider Huaxinâs difficulties!"
"Itâs not that Huaxin doesnât want to help Zhongwei, but it canât. The technology and equipment we use also need to be imported. If we support Zhongwei, we will be cut off from supplies, and then the fate the company will face is bankruptcy!"
"Supporting Zhongwei may feel good, but the cost is company bankruptcy. Now, do you understand?"
Lin Fan nodded: "I know the situation you mentioned."
According to the information provided by the system, Huaxin indeed needs to import equipment and technology, which is like Huaxin being choked at the throat.
Knowing this reason, the decision Huaxin made is indeed the optimal solution for the company.
Even if the companyâs stock price falls as a result, a temporary drop in stock price is better than dying.
Zhang Jing was furious: "You know the reason, yet you still want to change the decision? Lin Fan, are you here to doom Huaxin?"
The more he thought, the more it seemed like it!
Last night he offended Lin Fan and Feng Ruolan, and itâs very possible that Lin Fan came for revenge.
However, for Lin Fan to take revenge, he bought 30% of Huaxinâs shares, becoming the largest shareholder; thatâs ruthless.
It could even be called extreme.
Because he was offended by someone, he bought their company and ruined them; this kind of story is usually only seen online, but it actually happened.
And it happened to a company like Huaxin with a market value of 500 billion!
Zhang Jing was truly at a loss for words.
This Lin Fan, heâs too wealthy.
Everyone was shocked. What, didnât Lin Fan just become Huaxinâs largest shareholder? Why would he want to ruin Huaxin?
Lin Fan chuckled: "Chairman Zhang, youâre exaggerating a bit. How could I possibly ruin the company? What Iâm doing is the right decision."
Zhang Jing was a bit angry: "Right? Tell me, how is it right?"
Lin Fan cleared his throat and said, "I clearly understand everyoneâs concerns. If we support Zhongwei, it may lead to supply disruption, so even if we bear the infamy, we still have to compromise and strive for survival. As the saying goes, a good death is better than a bad life. Am I right?"
Zhang Jing said with a cold hum: "You only know part of the story. When the company was first established, our technology couldnât catch up, and only by great effort did we find equipment and technology to grow stronger. This is the foundation of the companyâs survival. Why should Huaxin be sacrificed for Zhongwei?"
Indeed, if Huaxin acts on impulse and claims to support Zhongwei, it may feel good for a moment, but if Huaxin goes bankrupt due to supply cut, Zhongwei will die as well. Then both will perish.
So, itâs better for Huaxin to compromise, at least Huaxin can survive.
Lin Fan said, "This is the core issue; we are controlled by others, so we can only compromise. There is only one solution: we improve our own technology, no longer needing to buy equipment and technology from others."
Zhang Jing sneered: "You say it lightly, can technology be improved overnight? Even if we could improve technology, we donât have enough time; the company would go bankrupt long before that day arrives. This path simply wonât work!"
Lin Fan said, "Thatâs too pessimistic; although there will be difficulties, how will we know the result without trying our best? A businessman should not only see business but also have some courage, better to stand and die than live on oneâs knees."
Zhang Jing said, "Your words sound nice, but I can only say youâre too young. A businessman should only see business. Only a fool talks about some bullshit courage, and such fools have long perished, but Huaxin has lived until today. Lin Fan, I will not let you destroy the hard-earned glory of Huaxin!"
Lin Fan sighed and said, "It seems we canât reach an agreement."
Zhang Jing sneered: "Fortunately, you only have 30% of the shares. Although you are the largest shareholder, you are not the absolute controller. We can still vote against it. Lin Fan, by ignoring the interests of all company shareholders and unilaterally deciding to change the decision, you cannot succeed!"
Lin Fan said, "According to company regulations, as long as 40% agree, the decision can pass. Am I right?"
Zhang Jing sneered: "Thatâs right, but you only have 30%. Do you think you can get another 10% of the votes? For those present, who agrees with his decision change, please raise your hand!"
No one raised their hand!
No one agreed with Lin Fan. His approach of trying to improve technology was too risky, with an extremely low success rate, almost zero.
No one would go against money.
Zhang Jing began to feel triumphant: "Lin Fan, you see, you donât have support!"
At this moment, Lin Fan received a message from Feng Ruolan.
The message was brief: Done.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "The companyâs second-largest shareholder, Yunxin Company, is not present, is it? Yunxin holds 11%, and if they support me, the decision can pass."
Zhang Jing confidently said, "Thatâs the logic, but do you think Yunxin Company will support you? Youâre dreaming!"
"I support Mr. Lin!"
At this moment, a voice said, as a middle-aged man walked in.
Everyone looked and saw it was Zheng Fugui, the head of Yunxin Company, and was surprised.
Yunxin Company actually supports Lin Fan; has Zheng Fugui lost his mind?
