The atmosphere in the private room was slightly somber. The waiter knocked on the door and brought in the dishes. No one said a word until all the food was served. It wasn't until the dull sound of the door closing that Mr. Wang came back to his senses.
Seeing the state of these people, President Liu sighed inwardly. Not everyone has the qualities of a hero. It's such a small matter, yet they've turned out like this.
"Mr. Wang, if you receive a year-end bonus, how much equity will you get?" Mr. Liu asked casually.
"This year's business is doing very well, I should be able to earn 100,000 yuan, and they should also earn tens of thousands of yuan."
Those present nodded in agreement with the figure; as a middle manager in the company, this income truly surpasses that of all other middle managers at the same level.
"You only made this little bit because the profits were good? We've known each other for so long, and you all know what I do. I'm looking to pull off a big heist." After saying this, Mr. Liu poured himself a glass of wine and said, "After it's done, I can sell some shares to you at a low price. Don't worry if you don't have the money to buy them. Take the shares first, and pay me back after the dividends. I guarantee that your annual dividends will not be less than one million."
One million?
Those present were astonished by the figure. Of the dozen or so factories, only Gao Zhiwei, Du Qifeng, General Manager Li (who is in charge of finance), and other senior executives responsible for other important factories, marketing, and R&D have shares with this level of dividend payout.
"Isn't this risky? Although we don't earn as much as those people, we also have shares, and the factory benefits are good. We get rice, flour, and oil during holidays, and they even give out mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival soon."
Mr. Liu looked at the manager who had spoken, feeling very displeased. Talking to someone with such a narrow-minded perspective could sometimes be really infuriating, making him want to strangle the person.
Rice, flour, oil? Mooncakes?
"Everyone, there is no risk in this matter. Lu Feng would never dare to fire you. The entire management team holds 30% of the shares. You are a whole. As long as you gather enough people, and more than half of those 30% vote, you can nominate a shareholder representative. At that time, I will acquire 30% of Jiaming Foods' shares. In this way, we will have an absolute advantage on the board of directors."
"And then what? What can you do?"
"Next, we'll go to the police station and report Lu Feng for embezzling public funds. Once he's in jail, we can easily blackmail him and transfer all his shares at a low price, completely kicking him out. The remaining shares will be our spoils, which we'll split in half!"
After Mr. Liu finished speaking and saw that they had no reaction, he quickly changed his words: "His share of equity is worth about 150 million. Even if all the management of Jiaming Foods split it equally, each person would get 50,000. Not to mention that the shares you hold are much higher than those of the lower management."
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up when he heard about the money. Then he thought, this is a board vote. Even if the truth comes out, it will be the entire management team that made the mistake. Can he fire everyone?
"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses! It's truly an honor to know General Manager Liu!" General Manager Wang said with a big smile, raising his glass. "I'm familiar with the management of other factories, so I can handle this!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table then became lively. Mr. Liu thought to himself that these people were not capable of anything. He needed to find some more ambitious and energetic people to act as his pawns.

In just two days, more than 30 people have joined Liucheng's R&D department. In addition to some of his former subordinates, most of them are the backbone of other companies' R&D departments. These people have no hope of promotion and their salaries are low, so they are likely to leave for private companies.
Secretary Cui was also busy preparing to welcome Lu Feng and his entourage. This matter had already caused quite a stir in the province. The Panda branch factory was a very complicated matter, a characteristic of this era. It was a multi-shareholding system, and the intricacies involved were a headache for anyone who saw it. If this matter could be handled well, it would be a great achievement.
The villagers of Xiaoli Village were the first to receive the news. After two years of abandonment, villagers went to block the factory gate again, and the temporary shacks that had been built before were put up again. They heard that someone was coming to deal with the matter and was going to distribute the money.
With everything prepared, these next few days will definitely be Huang Youwei's time to shine. The provincial government called to offer some encouragement, and their tone wasn't as stiff anymore. They even called him "Old Huang" a few times on the phone, which sounded like a dog's name, but Huang Youwei was overjoyed.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Youwei brewed a pot of tea, leaned back in his chair, and read the newspaper. Five out of ten articles were related to Lu Feng. He glanced through them briefly, then smiled and said, "It's only because Shenzhen is a big place that he can cause so much trouble, no matter what he does. If this happened here, I'd have a heart attack. Once things settle down, I can invite him over for a meal. He still owes me a factory. Next year, I'll make him set up a factory here and pay his taxes. My future will be bright and promising..."
Huang Youwei was happy and slowly planned his goals. As long as he did a good job, the future was promising.
Around 7 p.m., Lu Feng finished his dinner and went back to his room to call Jiang Xiaoyan.
"Not busy today?" The person on the other end of the phone was clearly pleasantly surprised.
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to take care of your family. Have you two eaten yet?" Lu Feng asked, feeling somewhat indebted to the mother and daughter.
"We've already eaten. It must be still very hot over there, but it's cool here now..."
"Is that Daddy calling? Daddy... Daddy, she called... she called me..." Duoduo's choked voice came from the phone: "She hit your daughter."
"Why did you hit the child?" Lu Feng asked hurriedly.
When Duoduo heard Lu Feng's question, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears, crying out, "She beats the child on a rainy day, she's just doing it because she has nothing better to do."
