Chapter 166: A Share of the Pie
"You can't be the only one to get such a good deal. With so many shares, can you at least give us some?" Although everyone recognized the strength of shareholder Wang, who wouldn't be tempted when the benefits were right in front of them?
Shareholder Wang thought for a moment and said, "How about this? My shares account for 51% of the total shares. I will circulate the rest among you. As for how to divide it, you can decide for yourself. How do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They were very embarrassed by shareholder Wang's proposal. You know, the combined shares of Mr. Lu and Lu Jingyu were less than 51%. If shareholder Wang wanted 51%, there would be very few shares that could be circulated.
What is even more frightening is that from now on, this company will become a one-man show for Mr. Wang, and they will have less and less power. Even a fool can understand what shareholder Wang is planning.
Someone immediately jumped out to object: "No! You can only take 48% at most, no more. This share belongs to the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family, so you won't lose anything."
"What should we do? Do you have so much money to help Lu's company overcome the current difficulties and future reconstruction? I'm afraid you don't even have the money to buy out Lu Jingyu's shares?"
The reason why shareholder Wang was so determined to win was naturally because he had done the investigation in advance.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was instantly discouraged. Among their group of people, only shareholder Wang had the ability to do so.
"If you agree, then do as I say. I guarantee that you will all get a share of the profits after the deal is done. If you don't agree, that's fine too. From now on, I will not be involved in Lu's business. I don't care whether it's profitable or not. Anyway, I'm a venture capitalist and I have many companies that I can develop. I don't care about this one."
When shareholder Wang said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
If he doesn't care, judging by the current trend, the final outcome of Lu's enterprise will surely be bankruptcy, and they will return to the pre-liberation era overnight.
They can still tell the difference between having one meal full and having every meal full.
As a last resort, everyone could only unanimously agree and approve the suggestion of shareholder Wang. In the next few days, he would contact Lu Jingyu to acquire the Lu family's shares. After kicking the Lu family out of the company, they would redistribute the circulating shares.
A few days before the trial, Xu Qingsui went to visit the imprisoned Mr. Lu.
When Mr. Lu saw Xu Qingsui, he was still very arrogant.
He had already taken off his disguise and revealed his true face.
A pair of weathered and fierce eyes were embedded in the deep eye sockets, like an evil ghost that had been drained of its energy. When he stared at people, one could not help but have one's hair stand on end. It was difficult for anyone to associate him with the once kind-hearted old grandfather.
However, facing such a vicious old man Lu, Xu Qingsui's heart remained calm.
She calmly sat down opposite him.
If it weren't for the Uncle in the Hat watching over him, Mr. Lu would have wanted to stand up and tear her to pieces.
"You don't think you've succeeded, do you?" Mr. Lu sneered and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to get out!"
There was a threat in his eyes.
Of course Xu Qingsui understood it, but because the venue was not right, he did not explain it.
If it were in the past, Xu Qingsui would of course be afraid, because she had a weak spot, and her weak spot was her younger brother.
But now, she is no longer afraid. To her, Mr. Lu is like a tiger with its teeth and claws pulled out, an old tiger at that. He looks ferocious but poses no threat at all.
She placed the photo she brought in front of Mr. Lu: "Grandpa Lu, are you waiting for him to contact someone to save you?"
Mr. Lu slowly picked up the photos and flipped through them one by one. His eyes widened. When he saw the last one, he could no longer control himself. He stood up suddenly, scattered the photos everywhere, and roared angrily: "Waste!"
The two uncles in hats quickly stepped forward to stop Mr. Lu and pushed him back: "Quiet!"
Xu Qingsui picked up the photos again. They were all pictures of Lu Jingyu hanging out with various beauties over the past few days, as well as pictures of him gambling. The money in his hands was like running water, being squandered in piles.
After Mr. Lu calmed down, he asked Xu Qingsui, "What do you want to do?"
"My grandfather treats you as a brother. In my memory, the Lu family's prosperity was inseparable from my grandfather's help. Why did you treat him like that?" Xu Qingsui asked the question in his heart.
"Brother?" Old Master Lu laughed. "There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests! He has so many collections in his hands. I want to hold an auction to expand the reputation of Lu's enterprise and make friends with more upper-class people. I asked your grandfather for help, but he was unwilling. Our brotherhood over the years is not as good as the collection in his hands!"
He said indignantly, "He is not reluctant to part with the collection, but with the money. He thinks I will not return it to him after taking it. Even if I really don't return it, he can just think of it as giving me a few pieces. What's the big deal? Didn't he say he treated me as a brother?"
Xu Qingsui was shocked by his remarks.
No wonder, the Lu family’s ancestors started out as bandits. Even after several generations, this kind of thinking and behavior is still deeply engraved in their family’s genes.
"If you ask my grandfather to lend you money, I believe he will lend it to you." Xu Qingsui thought for a moment and decided to speak out his thoughts: "But you don't know him well enough. To my grandparents, collections are not money. They are cultural treasures that cannot be measured or bought and sold with money. You don't know him at all, and you don't deserve to be his brother!"
"You, who come from scholarly families and claim to be noble, speak so eloquently, but do you think I will believe it?" Old Master Lu sneered with disdain.
As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together, and people who don’t agree with each other cannot talk too much.
Xu Qingsui was too lazy to waste words with him. People like him would never see anything more precious than interests. He could not understand those people and things that could not be measured by money.
Therefore, it was only natural that he would raise a grandson like Lu Jingyu.
It is not unfair that the Lu family was destroyed in the hands of these two men, grandfather and grandson.
Xu Qingsui stood up and said to Mr. Lu: "I came here today for two things. The first is to tell you that what you expect will not come true. I advise you to face the reality as soon as possible and accept the sanctions of the law. The second thing..."
She paused, choked up a little and said, "Anyway, thank you for raising me and my brother over the years."
