Hu Zhan and Wang Ling became directors, and because they were getting older, they handed over the practical work to younger people. Hu Keke learned from her mother and became the general manager of the technology department, while An An became the president and learned to manage the entire group company from Hu Zhan.

Although Zhao Huanhuan is the chairman of the board, she also serves as the general manager of the business department on a secondment, while simultaneously cultivating talent within the business department.

The veteran employees began to dedicate themselves to training young people.

Lin Hua, Zhao Huanhuan's younger cousin from her second maternal uncle's family, has also joined Zhao Huanhuan's company. He studied mechanical engineering and works in the equipment department under Li Jinfeng.

My eldest cousin, Lin Guo, is now in the army. Back then, that kid was determined to join the army, and my second uncle eventually allowed him to.

With Lin Yuan in the army, his second uncle felt at ease once he arrived at the unit and Lin Yuan was watching over him.

Lin Guo has now risen to the rank of regimental commander, which is quite an achievement, and Lin Yuan is very pleased.

In the accounting department, Sister Lin Xia came to work for her after resigning from her original job in 1994, and she was put in charge of the accounting department. With her cousin there, Zhao Huanhuan felt much more at ease.

Anbao Group was thus established and began operations.

Those who hold shares in Anbao Group include Zhao Huanhuan, Lin Yuan, An An, Hu Zhan, Wang Ling, Hu Keke, Li Jinfeng, Lin Xia, plus their four elderly relatives.

Zhao Huanhuan and Lin Yuanan carefully discussed and divided the shares.

Zhao Huanhuan owns 55% of the shares, giving her absolute say and decision-making power on the board of directors. They set their own rules: Zhao Huanhuan has direct decision-making power over amounts under 100 million, while amounts over 100 million can be decided by the board of directors.

The shareholdings of the other individuals are as follows: Lin Yuanwu, An Anwu, Hu Zhanwu, Wang Lingwu, Hu Kekewu, Li Jinfengwu, and Lin Xiawu.

They own 90 percent of the shares, while the four elderly people each own 2.5 percent, totaling 10 percent.

So, together, Zhao Huanhuan's family accounts for 75%, while Hu Zhan, Lin Xia, and the other outsiders account for 25%.

In this way, the power of Anbao Group remains in the hands of Zhao Huanhuan's family. The other 25 shares are considered dividend shares. In addition to their wages, they also earn dividends. This is also a good thing for the other five people, since they do not have to bear any risks and only receive dividends.

Unless the group goes bankrupt, they will all make money. Even if they lose money in any year, Zhao Huanhuan will not let them invest their own money; at most, they will not get a share of the profits.

When Hu Zhan and the others found out, they asked Zhao Huanhuan if she had given them too much, so that their family would have twenty shares.

Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said, "You deserve it. As long as you hold on to these twenty shares, when the company's value reaches hundreds of millions or even billions in the future, just think how much your twenty shares will be worth?"

"Although it's not clear how valuable these twenty shares are right now, I believe that day will come if we work together to make the company bigger and stronger."

Zhao Huanhuan said these words at the shareholders' meeting, which inspired everyone. They were all full of fighting spirit. Huanhuan was right. The better the group did, the more they would earn.

Keep trying, that day will come!

The four elderly people promptly became directors, but they didn't participate in any affairs; they simply gave their ten shares to An'an.

An'an now owns fifteen shares, making him richer than his father.

Zhao Huanhuan wouldn't let them give the shares to An'an right now, as they were for the elderly people's retirement. The four elderly people had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Huanhuan believes that they should enjoy the profits and dividends during their lifetime, and should have enough money to enjoy their later years.

Without their initial support, she felt she might not have been able to start the factory.

Zhao Huanhuan started to put a lot of effort into advertising and promotion.

Anbao underwear, Anbao shirts, Anbao business attire, and other branded clothing have appeared in advertisements on various television stations.

The advertising spaces in various shopping malls are covered with beautiful photos of An An and female models wearing various clothes.

For a time, many people were asking who this handsome young man was, which celebrity he was, and even people who were preparing to film television were asking around to find out who this male model was.

When they finally found out that he was Anbao's son, they even came to him wanting him to become a star and act in TV dramas. But Anbao refused, saying that his hobby was painting. Only then did they give up their ideas, feeling it was a pity that he didn't become a star with such a good figure and looks.

However, the female model was asked to act in a movie, and because she filmed promotional videos with An An, she became famous through An Bao's help.

Later, after becoming a film queen, this female model named Zhang Jin specially came to Huanhuan and officially became the spokesperson for Anbao, and did so for free. She was grateful to Zhao Huanhuan for making her Anbao brand known to the public, which enabled her to reach her current level of success.

Of course, Zhao Huanhuan also designed dresses for several parties for her. At that time, she also created a few famous moments for Zhang Jin, making Zhang Jin praised by many people for her good taste in clothes and her approachable nature. She made such a small domestic brand look like an international brand.

Anbao Fashion has become a national brand thanks to Zhang Jin, and has a large number of loyal customers. An'an has also led Anbao to a brighter future.

That's a story for another time.

After Anbao's career took off, Zhao Huanhuan gradually let go, allowing Anbao to take charge of the group company, while she retreated to the background to work as a designer.

Hu Zhan and Wang Ling had trained most of the people around them, and gradually chose to let go, stepping back from the forefront and allowing the young people to strive for success.

Zhao Huanhuan now spends most of her time traveling between Yuancheng and Kyoto, spending time with Lin Yuan for a while, then coming back to see the four elders and spending a few days with her son at the company.

The old house where my parents live now was demolished in 1997.
