"Boss, today's food is so delicious..."

"Boss, can we do the same thing next year..."

There was naturally cheering from below.

"Haha, guys, eating and drinking well are just basic requirements for today. Only if you enjoy eating and drinking today, I, as the boss, will be happy. However, today is the annual meeting of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of our Dragon Fund after all, so I want to give everyone a little surprise. What do you think of 5% of the shares of the Dragon Fund?"

As soon as Yang Jing said this, the scene fell into silence. But after a few seconds of silence, a louder voice suddenly broke out. The dozen or so people at the scene were almost driven crazy by Yang Jing's words.

There was no other way. They were all core executives of the Dragon Fund and naturally knew how huge the Dragon Fund was. The shares held by these dozen or so executives who were trained as successors, even the ones with the lowest net worth, were worth billions of dollars, and the shares they controlled were only the shares of the second-tier or even third-tier companies under the Dragon Fund.

There are dozens of second- and third-tier companies like this under Evil Dragon!

Today the boss took out 5% of the shares and distributed them to more than a dozen people, with each person getting an average of about 0.3% to 0.4%. However, even these few tenths of a percent of shares are worth much more than the shares of the second and third tier companies that they currently hold!

The most important thing is that being able to own shares in the Dragon Fund means that the boss truly regards these people as his own people!

Don't you see that there are only five people who own Dragon Fund shares? Apart from Old Mike, Henry, David, Amanda and Niamh, none of their successors has ever owned even 0.1% of Dragon Fund shares.

Now that the boss has released so many shares at once, putting the value aside, this recognition alone is the best encouragement!

Looking at the cheering faces of these successors, Old Mike, Henry and the others looked at each other and smiled.

In fact, Yang Jing had discussed the release of 5% of the shares of the Evil Dragon Fund today with the five of them before the annual meeting. Naturally, Old Mike and the others welcomed the boss' generosity.

They also knew that they would not participate in this 5% of shares. The five of them already owned at least 1.5% of the shares of the Evil Dragon Fund, so they would not be jealous of these shares.

However, after these little guys get these shares, their loyalty to the company will undoubtedly increase a lot, which will also make it easier for them to take over in the future.

Yang Jing's announcement of giving away shares of the Evil Dragon Fund immediately brought today's annual meeting to a climax.

5% of Dragon Fund's shares are worth at least $100 billion. Even if each person can only get 0.3%, that's still $700 to $800 million. In comparison, other companies' practice of giving out cash or gold at their annual meetings is simply lame.

This year, in July 1999, the international gold price fell to the lowest point in 20 years, only a pitiful $255 per ounce, and a ton of gold was less than $9 million! Even if it rebounded to $325 per ounce, a ton of gold was only $11.4 million!

And this 0.3% of the shares of the Dragon Fund is worth enough to buy 700 to 800 tons of gold...

Looking at the future successors discussing enthusiastically, Old Mike came up to Yang Jing and whispered, "Cole, you did a great job. These guys must be more devoted to the company now."

Yang Jing glanced at Old Mike and smiled, "It's nothing. It's not a big deal for me to control so many shares all the time. I should divide them up. Anyway, I don't have any heirs now, so there's no point in me holding on to these shares."

When Old Mike heard what Yang Jing said, his eyes immediately widened.

He has known this mysterious boss for twenty years, but he has never told his boss about his family. This is actually a very strange thing, but Old Mike has been holding back and not asking, and also warned Henry and others not to try to explore this aspect.

So, the Dragon Fund has been established for twenty years, and Old Mike and his friends have never known anything about the boss's family.

Originally, they didn't expect to know about it later, but they didn't expect that the boss would take the initiative to talk about this matter on this occasion...
