Chapter 204: Victory

Before anyone could react, I smiled at Wei Peng and said, “Does Master Wei Wu not want the same thing? After investing 1 billion, you would want my eldest uncle out from his chairman position too. The difference is, with your proposal, my uncle will benefit from his resignation and the rest of the directors will suffer; with my proposal, my uncle will lose some face but the other directors will not be affected. So… now it depends on how my eldest uncle and the rest of the directors will choose.”
I turned to the other shareholders. “I haven’t been in the Nan Corporation for long but I have a basic understanding of this company. I also have an idea regarding the future development of the company. I have been meaning to discuss that with all of my seniors but I never got the chance. The Nan Corporation needs to grow and develop so we can all reap the benefit from it. It is never good to be content. This time, a small problem has basically shut the entire company down, this means that the Nan Corporation still has ways to go. Don’t you agree with me?” I spoke with assurance and attracted all the attention.
“Nanxing, shut up!” Nan Feng finally lost it.
I looked at him fearlessly. “Eldest Uncle, why are you angry? Oh, right. I am sorry for cutting off your windfall but I am only doing this for the sake of the Nan Corporation, for the sake of every shareholder who has helped the company along the way. This time, eldest uncle, I’m afraid you have to make some sacrifices.”
From the corner of my eyes, I saw many people nod.
Wei Peng’s smile had disappeared. “Nanxing, I have underestimated you. You are quite a talent.”
“Master Wei Wu, you flatter me. I am a part of the Nan Family, as long as there is hope, I will do everything within my power to protect this company. After all, this is my grandfather’s company and I am sure my father wouldn’t want the company to enter the hands of an outsider either.” I said calmly.
The senior shareholders nodded.
Wei Peng looked at me with a faint smile. “Well done! Nanxing, Tong Le, and Jing Tian have trained you well. Your future is bright. I hope we can the chance to cross swords again in the future.”
I smiled brightly. “What are you saying, Master Wei Wu? The Nan Corporation is still going to open for business, we are hoping to get cooperation from other powerful companies. The Nan Corporation will love to have a business partner in you, Master Wei Wu. Nanxing has a lot to learn from you.” I was not going to budge. Because I knew that this was a path of no return. There was no longer any goodwill between us.
Wei Peng was different from Shi Li. Shi Li was still hoping that one day I’d be his daughter-in-law so he would still hold back against me. However, Wei Peng would not. This was war.
However, it was always better to part with a kind word. In the world of business, there were no permanent friends or enemies. This was what Jing Tian and my little uncle had taught me.
…
Nan Feng announced to the public that he would resign as chairman of the Nan Corporation due to his ailing health. I would take his place as the chairman.
With regards to the shareholding, nothing changed. I took half of Nan Feng’s 40 percent shares. So I was now the largest shareholder at the Nan Corporation.
The 20 percent share was traded with evidence of Nanyang’s crime. I had squeezed every drop of goodness from it.
Nanyang’s evil deeds were meaningless to me. I had my people arrange a new life for Yu Ying. I didn’t wish for more people to get involved in this mess.. I believe God would punish Nanyang in time.
