"yes."
"They are used to following the orders of the acting president, and they didn't realize that the company had been replaced by a young new president who is about to take over."
The senior executives, who were just about to take out the proposal, saw the tense atmosphere in the conference room and immediately put it away silently.
Everyone understood that the shareholders were implying that Zhou Yi was too young to be in charge and lacked a voice.
Aunt Zhou's expression changed slightly, and her eyes suddenly sharpened as she stared at the shareholder: "The past is the past. Now the true heir of the Zhou family is back. Moreover, I have already started the exchange process. From today onwards, he is the undisputed president."
"Do you have any objections?"
The shareholder chuckled and said with a smile, "Acting President, don't be in such a hurry."
“The president isn’t a child. He’s almost graduating from university and has been hidden away by the old lady for so long. He doesn’t need you to speak up for him all the time.”
The shareholder picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then slowly looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Zhou Yi, although we acknowledge that you are the heir of the Zhou family."
“But the Zhou family has been established for so many years, and this is our hard work. We are not targeting you, but we are fighting for our own interests and also examining whether the Zhou Group has the ability to take over. That’s why we can’t easily hand it over to you.”
"I heard you're still in university and have made quite a few embarrassing mistakes in the past. I'd like to ask, given your situation, are you capable of managing a company well?"
"Are you familiar with the company's operations and business?"
"Even when holding a meeting, the acting president has to assist you. Not only me, but I believe many people here cannot have any trust in you."
The three older shareholders who had previously strongly supported Zhou Yi were now silently watching him, waiting for his next answer.
What they actually approve of is not Zhou Yi as a person, but Grandma Zhou's advice!
Now that the old shareholders who betrayed the company have fallen, and the company is no longer a threat, they naturally want to focus on their actual interests.
To be honest, Zhou Yi, who is so young, is not their ideal candidate for president. It's not that they have a problem with Zhou Yi as a person, but rather that they are afraid that Zhou Yi is not capable of managing such a large Zhou Group.
So after defeating the old shareholders' faction, the three old stubborn men stood by and watched, wanting to see how Zhou Yi would win everyone's trust.
If Zhou Yi can't even handle this small matter, can the enormous Zhou family really be entrusted to him?
When a shareholder openly implied that Zhou Yi was young and impetuous, Zhou Yi smiled faintly and glanced at everyone as he spoke.
"Everyone thinks I'm too young and impetuous to be the CEO?"
Looking around, everyone was watching him with a relaxed expression.
"If no one says anything, that means they agree."
"The reason why everyone is able to stay in this conference room is not because they have memorized the company's rules and regulations, nor is it because they are just talking nonsense."
"I don't like empty talk; I prefer to demonstrate through concrete actions whether I'm capable of being the CEO!"
"The reason I'm here today is to make a bet with you!"
"The company's profit statements from previous years..."
With a single glance from Zhou Yi, the secretary immediately understood and stepped forward, handing out the company's annual reports to the shareholders.
After they were circulated among each other.
At Zhou Yi's instruction, the secretary took out the profit report that Zhou Yi had estimated and distributed it again.
Zhou Yi's report was very detailed and easy to understand, showing that he had put in a lot of effort.
At the very least, they should have some knowledge of finance.
However, when everyone saw the figures, the shareholders immediately raised objections: "How is that possible! You want to double the company's profits next year? Isn't that just wishful thinking?!"
"Even though this is a preliminary report, you can't just write it down randomly."
"Oh!"
"As expected, he's still young and likes to talk big. Some of his plans are just empty talk. They look good on paper, but unfortunately, reality is cruel."
After the shareholders finished raising their questions, Zhou Yi calmly began to speak:
"I know you don't believe me, so here's the bet I'm making with you."
"Zhou's has been transforming its market recently. Today's young people are under a lot of pressure and have poor health. Therefore, Zhou's is preparing to capture the contemporary youth market with a series of health care products."
"This is thanks to the tireless research of many experts, and of course, the support of everyone."
"Our product improvements are complete, and we can immediately finalize cooperation agreements with our partners and start production..."
"Then........"
"In addition, my name is currently trending at number one on the hot search list. I want to leverage this popularity online..." Zhou Yi explained the upcoming developments in an organized manner.
As time gradually passed—
From initially being dismissive and skeptical of Zhou Yi, to seeing how Zhou Yi deeply analyzed current market trends and came up with ideas for generating buzz online, people changed their minds.
The crowd's expressions gradually changed, and they began to seriously consider Zhou Yi's proposal.
The surrounding executives saw that Zhou Yi could casually recount the company's collaborations in recent years, as well as his meticulous planning, all of which were impeccable.
Is this really Zhou Yi from their investigation? He doesn't seem like a young man who has never taken over a company before!
Instead, he seems more like a financial expert who knows the company very well.
Zhou Yi can speak fluently about the market in Luzhou, as well as domestic and international markets.
At that moment, everyone fell silent involuntarily.
After the meeting, the shareholders looked at each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of relief and regret.
Reassuringly, the future president of the Zhou Group seems to be quite capable.
Unfortunately, this young CEO, who is still in college, is not easy to deal with. As long as he is around, their influence will likely diminish.
During the voting session, Zhou Yi handled the situation calmly, which softened the attitude of the shareholders. After all, they had no grudge against Zhou Yi; they just wanted to test his capabilities.
therefore;
Most people voted in favor: "Then congratulations to the new CEO Zhou!"
"We're not trying to target you or embarrass you on purpose, but... sigh, the business world is like a battlefield. If you can't even convince us, you simply can't handle the ever-changing market."
"Since you already have a targeted plan, and the acting president is so strongly advocating for you, let's proceed according to your plan for now."
"We hope that by this time next year, we shareholders will see a remarkable record!"
The shareholders sighed and temporarily placed their trust in Zhou Yi.
After shaking hands with Zhou Yi one by one, they left the company with anticipation.
