In reality, there's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business, but because the partner is a large company with promising prospects, no one dares to question it.
"That contract was secured through connections," Mr. Liu continued to question.
"What a joke! Who among you does business without using connections?" Su Ziqing's face turned cold as she glanced at everyone present before turning her gaze to President Liu. "If you're so capable, show me how you can use those connections to sign a project like this. Oh, not even two months, I'll give you two years, okay?"
In business, you need two things: connections and vision. What, having connections isn't enough?
ill.
"If there's money to be made, why can't we have the best of both worlds?" Su Xiaoman's hands remained under the table, but her other hand was unconsciously stroking her abdomen.
Every pregnant woman uses this kind of body language.
She thought others couldn't see it, but from Su Ziqing's perspective, it was actually slightly visible.
Su Xiaoman's actions had been repeated several times. Su Ziqing was not entirely sure at first, but now she was clearly certain.
However, she didn't say anything, but instead said to Su Xiaoman, "Does doing business have to be about making the last penny?"
Su Xiaoman chuckled, "Sister, do you think you're the richest person in the world, using the words of our elders to lecture us?"
"The last penny? Is there any project that's easier to make money than real estate these days?" Mr. Liu laughed, then added, "Besides, whether it was the old man before his death or the two previous Mr. Sus, when they withdrew from the real estate industry, they all planned to take over the projects in P City and finish them before leaving."
After saying that, he looked at the shareholders present and said, "Do you shareholders think you're making too much money? Aren't you going to say anything at this time?"
"Yes, housing prices are still rising, it would be a shame to withdraw at this time."
Of course, no one wants to be the one holding the last baton.
Looking at the dissenting opinions expressed by everyone, Su Ziqing took a sip of her coffee. She knew this would happen.
“The leverage invested in real estate is too high. If we don’t withdraw now, the Su family may not be able to withstand the blow when the storm is brewing,” Su Ziqing said.
"I've already made up my mind. The project team will also suspend the project in City P." Su Ziqing didn't call this meeting to listen to their opinions.
The company rules established by Grandpa Su originally preserved the chairman's rights. Without Su Tianhao and Su Tianming, outsiders could not influence Su Ziqing's decisions.
“Even the old man wouldn’t make such a hasty decision,” said Mr. Liu.
"Are you questioning me so repeatedly because you won't be able to get kickbacks from real estate projects anymore, and that's why you're feeling distressed?" Su Ziqing looked at President Liu with a slightly cold expression.
Mr. Liu's expression changed, and everyone's eyes turned to him. He was somewhat flustered and angry, "What are you saying?!"
Su Ziqing met his gaze.
Even though Mr. Liu is a middle-aged man, he was somewhat outmatched when he looked at Su Ziqing.
Whether out of guilt or something else, he eventually looked away and, of course, shut his mouth as well.
Su Xiaoman sighed softly, "Sister..."
"There's no older sister here." Su Ziqing was disgusted that Su Xiaoman was talking about marriage at this time.
Normally, I never see any sisterly affection between them.
Su Xiaoman's expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered and said sarcastically, "Chairman, you decide to have the company give up the profitable real estate projects on the one hand, and on the other hand, you decide to keep the company focused on the real economy. Everyone knows that it's not easy to make money in the real economy these days, and everyone wants to withdraw."
Su Xiaoman paused deliberately, "Are you sure your decision is the right one?"
“I’m sure I did the right thing.” Su Ziqing looked at Su Xiaoman.
“What if we’re wrong?” Su Xiaoman looked around at everyone. “Who will protect the rights and interests of all the shareholders?”
"yes."
"That's right."
"What if by the end of the year you don't have any money to distribute and even lose money?"
Another round of questions arose in the meeting room.
Company reform isn't something you can just decide to do whenever you want; only founders or similar figures can implement sweeping and rapid integration.
Su Ziqing is young and a girl, and she doesn't have any elders to support her, so to be honest, it's really difficult for her.
Seeing the reactions of the shareholders, Su Ziqing was somewhat disappointed. They only saw the immediate benefits, not the company's development.
Clearly, they don't care at all.
This is probably the difference between shareholder benefits from dividends and the mission of the company's top management, who are responsible for the company's survival.
The third point should be questioned: the company's future development direction; however, no one seems to care...
All they care about is whether there's money to be distributed now.
As for next year? Will the company go bankrupt? If it does, so be it. They're not shareholders of the same company, is that what you mean?
Su Ziqing rubbed her temples, her head really aching from the noise.
“The Su family’s roots are in industry, but the booming real estate market in recent years has allowed the Su family to get on board. Now it’s time to get off,” Su Ziqing said calmly. “If you have any opinions, you can send an email to our inbox.”
Then she jumped directly to the third point: "The entertainment industry has a very promising future. If the Su family withdraws some of its investment, it can also expand the Su family's investment scope."
"But the Su family has never been involved in the entertainment industry," some questioned.
“So, the first time you do it, you have to do it well,” Su Ziqing replied firmly.
Su Xiaoman remained silent the entire time, a quietness that was completely out of character for her.
However, since she's keeping quiet now, Su Ziqing can save time explaining.
The meeting lasted a long time; however, it was not a meeting for discussion, but a meeting to inform everyone of the company's future development plans.
Whether you agree or disagree, it doesn't really change anything.
Needless to say, the party that was dissatisfied, or the party whose interests were affected, was filled with resentment at this moment.
Even the shareholders who had previously been convinced by Su Ziqing were now starting to have doubts.
If you're talking about the Su family vying for the chairmanship, that's your business. In the end, it'll be someone from your Su family who sits in it.
However, the company's development direction is a crucial factor that affects how much money you all have in your pockets.
Some people even think that perhaps a veteran like Su Tianming is more suitable to lead the company.
Because the meeting did not go smoothly, Su Ziqing had no chance to express her plans and investments regarding the entertainment industry.
She went back to her office.
Su Xiaoman followed closely behind her.
Su Ziqing narrowed her eyes slightly. "Su Xiaoman, if you don't want your child to be lost, you'd better stop here."
Su Xiaoman's expression changed.
"I don't want to be blamed again," Su Ziqing sneered.
"You lost your own child, so you can't stand seeing others have children, right?" Su Xiaoman laughed smugly.
Su Ziqing: "..." She was being so kind to Su Xiaoman because she had lost her child!
