There were thirteen people sitting in the Juxian Hall, including the chairman, and Chen Shiyou was among them.
Chen Daming intentionally arranged for Chen Ze to sit on the left side of the main seat, while Chen Youfu sat comfortably on the right.
Apart from Chen Youfu and Chen Shiyou, everyone else here knew nothing about Chen Ze. They were completely baffled, unable to understand why the chairman would seat Chen Ze in such a prestigious position.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate about Chen Ze's background and abilities, and many people were somewhat dissatisfied with the chairman's arrangement.
Ahem! The president coughed twice, cleared his throat, and his sharp gaze swept over the crowd below him: "You are all members of the Chen family with assets of over ten million. I sincerely thank you all for your willingness to contribute your strength to the family."
"There are two purposes for this donation. First, it is to unite everyone's thoughts and efforts, and work together to create a glorious future for the family. Second, I plan to establish a Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, whose purpose is to help everyone start a business. If you encounter difficulties or obstacles, you can get strong support from the Chamber of Commerce."
Bald Old Chen Hanting raised his hand and spoke: "Chairman, what abilities does the young man on your left have to help us? I don't think he should sit in that position."
Three people nodded in agreement.
The president smiled faintly: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce you. This is the pride of our Chen family. His name is Chen Ze, the founder of Panda Takeout. His company is currently worth more than 5 billion."
The bald old man stared in shock, his mouth agape. He never imagined that the popular Panda Delivery service was actually run by this young man. The others, like him, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The chairman was pleased with the expressions on their faces and continued, "This is only half of his assets. In addition, he also made more than 5 billion yuan in cash in cotton futures. I remember he was even featured on Guangzhou TV at the time, so his total assets now exceed 10 billion yuan."
Assets exceeding 10 billion? At this moment, the bald old man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed respectfully, saying, "Brother, I apologize for my rudeness earlier."
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Chen Ze vowed to build his business into a billionaire, so how could he get angry over such a small matter? When a person has a certain amount of money, his mindset will gradually change.
Imagine you carry tens of thousands of dollars in cash with you every day, and suddenly you find a dollar on the ground. You would never bend down to pick it up.
Chen Youfu stood up and said, "I am now worth 5 billion, but I can tell you clearly that I basically made my money by clinging to Chen Ze's coattails."
At this moment, not only were others shocked, but even the chairman, Chen Daming, was stunned. He carefully examined Chen Ze, wondering just how outstanding this young man was that he could bring out a billionaire with a net worth of 5 billion.
It takes a very broad mind to do this. Most people in the world want to keep all the money for themselves, because humans are born selfish.
Chen Shiyou, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "My company almost went bankrupt due to poor management. It was thanks to Chen Ze's help that I am now worth over 100 million."
"Here, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Chen Ze; he is my benefactor in this life."
"Cao... Is Chen Ze's ability so abnormal? He actually created two billionaires."
"That's amazing."
Everyone was numb at this point.
The president stood up and pressed his hands down slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I am now announcing the appointment of Chen Ze as the vice president of the family business association. In the future, if any of you have good projects but lack funds, you can contact our two vice presidents. Both of them have very sufficient cash flow."
Soon after the meeting ended, the chairman added all twelve of them to a WeChat group.
After shaking hands with everyone, Chen Ze took Wang Siyu back to the hotel.
In the afternoon, Wang Siyu's uncle called and invited the two of them to come over for dinner.
The two packed their things and returned to Shenzhen.
On the road, Wang Siyu drove her Bugatti slowly away from Guangcheng.
"Aze, I want a Bugatti too. Can you buy one for my little cutie?"
Chen Ze pinched her rosy cheek and laughed, "Okay, but we'll have to wait until after the New Year. Young Master Zhao has already closed down for business."
At 3 p.m., Bugatti arrived at the Futian government compound. The guard at the gate used a metal detector to scan Chen Ze's entire body.
After checking the people, the guards checked the vehicle for any prohibited items. A few minutes later, the guards confirmed that there were no prohibited items before letting them pass.
Chen Ze's car arrived at the bottom of an apartment building. The two quickly got out of the car and took the cigarettes, alcohol, and gifts out of the car.
Soon, the two arrived at their uncle's house and pressed the doorbell. "Ding-dong."
A moment later, a wealthy woman opened the door.
"Happy New Year, Auntie," Wang Siyu greeted sweetly.
Auntie's face was full of smiles as she waved to them: "Siyu, come in quickly. This must be Siyu's boyfriend, Chen Ze."
"Hello, Auntie. You guessed right. I am Siyu's boyfriend, Chen Ze."
After the two entered the house, Chen Ze casually closed the door.
Aunt looked Chen Ze up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "He is indeed a handsome man. Not only is he good-looking, but he is also talented. Our Siyu is so lucky."
At this moment, Ye Guoqiang stood up and said to Chen Ze, "Come to the study with me, I have something to say to you."
As Chen Ze passed by the sofa, he greeted Ye Xiaoman, "Happy New Year, Cousin."
Ye Xiaoman nodded, then pulled her cousin Wang Siyu to sit next to her: "Siyu, where did you go yesterday? I went to Chiwan to look for you, but your security guard said you went out."
Wang Siyu recounted how she burned down Chen Ze's old house in Guangcheng, and her aunt and cousin laughed heartily.
On the other side, Ye Guoqiang and Chen Ze sat down at the tea table in the study.
Chen Ze skillfully brewed a pot of tea and then poured it for his superior.
"Xiao Chen, how was the company's performance last year?"
"Uncle Ye, to be honest, last year, because of the price war with Ele.me, the company lost 720 million RMB in six months. But don't worry, my company has plenty of cash flow. It's impossible for Ele.me to defeat me."
Ye Guoqiang said earnestly, "When you run a business, you should learn from Mr. Ren of Guowei Mobile. Operate in a legitimate manner and don't engage in tax evasion or avoidance. The government will be watching your every move if you are a large company, so don't try to be clever."
"Uncle Ye, I've learned a lot."
Ye Guoqiang nodded in satisfaction: "As long as you operate your business openly and honestly, I, your Uncle Ye, guarantee that no one will dare to smear your company. There's also one more thing, which is about Brother Siyu."
“You need to lend him a hand. If your company wants to expand beyond Guangdong Province or become a multinational corporation, you will need the help of the Wang family.”
"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Ye. After the New Year, I will bring two other companies to invest in me: Vipshop and Baihe Clothing Company."
