Wen Xinya could naturally feel the shareholders’ evil gazes, yet she did not take it to heart. She just found it funny that although the entertainment city project was started by Wen Haowen, the ones who pushed for it were the shareholders, who were only concerned with their own interests, while she and Grandpa were initially against it.
However, it was obvious that they had forgotten this point.
Now, Qian Jianhui was pushing the blame of the entertainment city project onto the Wen Family, so as to direct all the anger and responsibility onto the Wen Family.
However, she had no way to retaliate, because Wen Haowen was indeed a part of the Wen Family, and these shareholders were only concerned with their own interests. It would be difficult to make them admit their mistakes.
At this moment, only the Wen Family could carry the blame of this incident.
Qian Jianhui was indeed a sly old fox.
However, this was not over. Qian Jianhui was not done with expressing his unhappiness regarding the Wen Family. Soon, the main focus of his speech was Wen Xinya. “When Old Mr. Wen was taken into the police station for investigation, he entrusted Wen Corporation to his granddaughter. I admit that as the rightful heir of the Wen Family, Miss Wen has made numerous significant contributions. She has also provided many benefits to the shareholders present today.”
Wen Xinya made use of her outstanding talents in jewelry design as well as her reputation as a world-famous jewelry designer to bring great benefits to Wen Corporation. Although everyone was doubtful of her capability, however, everyone acknowledged the contributions that she made towards the Wen Corporation.
In the eyes of the shareholders, Wen Xinya’s talent in jewelry design was valuable to Wen Corporation and could still bring them significant benefits—even the shareholders did not dare offend her.
Hence, Qian Jianhui did not dare to pick on her too much.
Indeed, once the shareholders heard what Qian Jianhui said, they nodded their heads and their resentment towards Wen Xinya was no longer so evident.
Wen Xinya was unable to guess what Qian Jianhui and the shareholders were thinking, and her face hardened.
She despised Qian Jianhui more and more with every passing minute.
However, she had to admit that Qian Jianhui was truly capable. He was able to appeal exactly to what the shareholders were thinking, it was no wonder he was able to create a revolution among these people.
After that, Qian Jianhui adopted a different tone and continued saying, “However, with Miss Wen in charge of the Wen Family, not only was she unable to resolve the crisis that Wen Corporation was in, but the Wen Corporation even fell into a financial crisis. Everyone knows better than me what a financial crisis means to a company. How would anyone be able to resolve a crisis like this? After all, doesn’t it still mean that us shareholders would still have to take money out of our own pockets, and aren’t we the ones that still suffer the greatest losses?”
After working with them for so many years, he was the one who understood the shareholders the most. Thus, he knew how to manipulate them to achieve his own aims.
——aren’t we the ones that still suffer the greatest losses?
That one sentence was earth-shattering and thunderous as if there was a strike of thunder. That one sentence rang in the ears of everyone present, and it seemed to echo in everyone’s ears, causing everyone to be stunned.
This sentence was too impactful.
To capture the attention of the shareholders, all he had to do was mention profits, and all the shareholders would be convinced by him.
What he said obviously appealed to the shareholders, and everyone began to discuss agitatedly.
“What Chairman Qian said makes sense. If anything happens to Wen Corporation, the ones who suffer the greatest would be us, the small shareholders.”
“The Wen Family has been suppressing us all along, and us small shareholders are not reassured at all.”
“Miss Wen is indeed capable. However, taking responsibility of the Wen Corporation would require even more experience. Yet, to maintain control of the Wen Corporation, Old Mr. Wen ensured that the Wen Family was still in charge of the Wen Corporation. To pass such a big enterprise to someone that has no experience and no credentials would be to take the interests of small shareholders as a joke.”
“Such a move by the Wen Family is too selfish, he obviously did not think of our welfare.”
If the Wen Corporation experienced a financial crisis, would they bear to see the Wen Corporation disintegrate?
They definitely would not be able to. Otherwise, their losses would multiply.
Hence, Old Mr. Wen must have made such a move because he wanted to take advantage of the shareholders.
This one sentence made the faces of all the shareholders change. Qian Jianhui also made sure to maintain an expression of seriousness and anger on his face.
After hearing everyone’s criticism of Wen Xinya, she began to laugh coldly.
Although Qian Jianhui did not openly state that she was incompetent at managing the company, which was what caused the financial crisis, however, from the point of view of the shareholders, he had managed to push the Wen Family to the edge of the cliff.
He had only mentioned Wen Family’s faults, but not what they did for the shareholders’ interests all these years.
He was well aware of the psyche of the shareholders. Hence, he capitalised on their interests to dissolve any shred of hesitation left in their’ minds and caused them to reach a new high in their unhappiness towards the Wen Family to bring the shareholders to his side completely.
As for the Wen Family, no matter how much they tried to defend themselves, they would not be able to get everyone’s support and acknowledgment.
Qian Jianhui sat on the chair silently for approximately ten minutes, to make sure that everyone’s emotions reach a peak, before saying, “The Wen Family has been selfish, just to make sure they are able to maintain control over the Wen Corporation. We should definitely not sit still. Hence, I propose that on account of the Wen Family’s poor leadership and the damage that they have done to the shareholders’ interest, we should dismiss Old Mr. Wen from his position and remove his rights to interfere in the Wen Corporation’s affairs as well as cancel Wen Xinya’s temporary powers as management of the company. We will choose others to take over the role as chairman, those who think they are capable should do it.”
This statement was shocking to everyone.
There were fierce responses from everyone, and everyone had reached the peak of their agitation. Intense discussions ensued in the meeting room, and it was as noisy as a wet market.
Some people aggressively said, “The Wen Family has been so selfish and aimed to harm the interests of the small shareholders. We should band together to fight the Wen Family’s dictatorship.”
Some were undecided. “I feel that, although the Wen Family suppresses the small shareholders, they have not mistreated us in any other way, so shouldn’t we consider what they have done for us in the long term?”
Some had strong objections. “The Wen Family has been providing us with numerous benefits all these years. Everyone should know this. I do want to ask why everyone is only talking about the faults of the Wen Family, but not their successes? Some people may seem to be fighting for the interests of the small shareholders, yet they have ulterior motives and only aim to gain full control of the Wen Corporation to satisfy their ambition!”
Some people agitatedly rebuked. “No matter what, it’s true that the Wen Family has been suppressing small shareholders, and Chairman Qian’s suggestion works to the benefit of us small shareholders.”
The arguments were intense.
Some people also tried to weigh the pros and cons between siding with the Wen faction or the Qian faction, to see which side would provide them with more benefits.
Others were quiet and did not dare be involved in the Wen and Qian conflict to avoid coming up empty-handed.
In the meeting room, everyone had different attitudes.
