After making up his mind, Zhou Liheng acted decisively.
Aside from the mansion his family currently lived in, all of his assets were sold below market value. Some of these included shares in promising companies. However, he had already sold off a number of these before, and the maximum he could have gotten from these sales was around ten billion.
Still not enough!
Zhou Liheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and sell his company shares. This time, he had sold his shares twice in total. The company's second-largest shareholder, Liao Dong, was no pushover either. He had been keeping a close eye on him for a long time and had acquired these shares through someone else. Furthermore, he had been secretly acquiring individual shares... his holdings were increasing until he surpassed Zhou Liheng.
So at the end of October, something happened that shocked City S.
Zhou Enterprise changed hands, and the original second largest shareholder Liao Dong successfully suppressed Zhou Liheng's 30% stake with 34% of the shares.
At the shareholders' meeting, Zhou Liheng was stunned. How could this happen? How did his company become someone else's?
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Liao Dong with a look that made him want to eat him alive. "You plotted against me!"
Liao Dong was calm and composed. "How did I plot against you? This is just normal business competition!"
He silently thanked Shi Miao in his heart. Thanks to Shi Miao's reminder, he was able to plan ahead. Even he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Hahahaha, it's true that with the help of a master of metaphysics, it's easier to make your wishes come true.
Zhou Liheng is such a fool. He doesn't think that it is his credit that the Zhou Group has developed to this point, right?
Not only did he offend Wen Ying, he also pushed a daughter like Shi Miao away. If Shi Miao was his daughter, he would worship her as an ancestor!
Zhou Liheng looked at the other shareholders who supported Liao Dong and asked, "Are you on his side too?"
These shareholders had all been taken care of by Liao Dong. Furthermore, they were very dissatisfied with Zhou Liheng's actions over the past year, so they all nodded in agreement.
Originally, Liao Dong had more shares than him, and with the support of other shareholders, the winner was obvious.
Zhou Liheng gritted his teeth, his mouth filled with the sweet, fishy taste of blood. Previously, Zhou Man's online popularity had eroded, and the company's luck had backfired, causing frequent problems. In recent months, thanks to the stolen luck from Pei Ze, Qin Nanyu, and others, the company's situation had improved, and they had even received a few new orders. But in the end, Liao Dong benefited from it for nothing. How could this not make him vomit blood?
He remembered the humiliation he suffered today.
The news of Zhou's change of ownership spread like snowflakes in the circle, and was even posted online by someone with ulterior motives.
The whole network is laughing at Zhou Liheng's joke.
[Then the name should be changed to Liao Group instead of Zhou Group, right?]
[Great! I was so disgusted by Zhou Liheng that I never bought any of his products. I'll place an order once they change their name.]
[More badass jokes, I love them.]
Liao Dong responded very quickly, and the company's official account immediately replied to netizens.
【I'll follow your advice and change it to Liao.】
The next day, the Zhou Group was renamed the Liao Group.
This news immediately became a hot topic, and netizens gave thumbs up to Liao for listening to advice and placed orders in support.
Zhou Liheng was furious at this barrage of attacks, but he was helpless.
Zhou Litang advised him, "If you continue to worry about the company now, you'll only benefit those betrayers. It's better to sell all your shares and get more shares in the cosmetics company."
Zhou Liheng hesitated. Zhou was their family's property for many years. If he gave it away for nothing, he would become a sinner of the family. How could he face his ancestors in the future?
"After Manman broke off her engagement, the Zhuang family's son came to her house all day long, giving her gifts. It seems that the Zhuang family also wants to participate in the shares."
"And the He family..."
Hearing so many people vying for a piece of the action, Zhou Liheng's mind began to shift. There were no fools in this industry. They were so enthusiastic, weren't they just because they saw the potential in scar removal cream and skin care cream? He'd tried to borrow money from them, but they weren't exactly like that.
Zhou Liuan observed his expression and said something rather hurtful, "Dad, no matter how big you make Zhou Corporation, those people won't see your hard work. They'll just say it's all thanks to Mom, that you're just taking advantage of it. But if you can build a new brand from scratch, you'll be able to shut them up. Let them know that even without Mom, you can still make the company strong and big. Don't you want to slap those people in the face?"
Zhou Liheng, struck by this, made the final decision, "Then sell the shares."
"I think we can acquire a few more production lines to increase the output of cosmetics."
Encouraged by his two sons, Zhou Liheng finally made up his mind.
He held a considerable amount of shares, and selling them all wouldn't be quick. This sale lasted until November. Zhou Liheng invested his newly acquired funds in new companies, converting them into shares. He didn't even have time to buy back some of his own shops and properties.
Because of the large amount of capital injected by Zhou Liheng, the company's scale is much larger than it was at the beginning. They have acquired two large companies.
After successfully passing various inspection procedures, scar removal cream and skin care cream began to be produced at a rapid pace.
Zhou Man simply named her new company "Manrong." Because the capital pool was larger than the initial one, she only held a 35% stake, with another 15% to be shared with Shan Jukai. Zhou Liheng, having invested tens of billions, received a 30% stake, while the Zuo and Jia families combined held 25%. The remaining 10% went to a cooperative family with close ties to the Zhou family. Unwittingly, they had formed a formidable interest group. Everyone eagerly awaited the opportunity to profit.
Zhou Liheng's boldness in directly acquiring two major companies is truly remarkable. He even sold his own century-old business. This demonstrates his immense confidence in his new company.
