Chapter 407 All parties exert their efforts
In the end, the report was vague. What exactly caused Cheng Feng, the heir of Dade Group, a famous rich second generation in Beijing, and a playboy, to become like this?
Donating millions to a kindergarten just to find a job for someone else's girlfriend?
The key is to put the blame on the group, causing losses to the shareholders of Dade Group and even more losses to the shareholders who support Dade Group!
Surely something like this wouldn't happen under normal circumstances, right?
So, was it that Cheng Shengen and his son were about to cause some problems at Dade Group, which made Cheng Feng rush out to make money?
What is the reason that makes the second-generation rich with billions of dollars in assets want to deal in contraband?
Is it because Cheng Feng Dade Group was ruined by Cheng Feng? After all, their stock price was declining before? Otherwise, why...!
"This is nonsense! This is slander. If I was really involved in the contraband incident, how could they let me go? I'm going to sue these reporters!"
Damn it, Cheng Feng was about to explode with anger. He tore the newspaper into pieces. How could he survive in Beijing in the future? Was he going to keep his reputation?
"Sue, how can you sue? This is their job, how could they leave loopholes in the text? You will only bring shame upon yourself if you sue them!"
Most media outlets are like this, they will tell the truth, but they won't tell the whole truth.
As expected, Cheng Feng found that after recounting what happened, although the newspaper did not tell lies knowingly, it used a lot of words such as suspected, perhaps,?, or will.
Cheng Shengen was almost driven crazy by Cheng Feng:
"Besides, don't you understand the situation now? This is no longer just your business. Compared to your little problem, Dade Group is the most important!"
"Dong Dong Dong!" Liang Junzheng knocked on the table and said:
"Mr. Cheng is right. I think we should discuss this first. The problem of Dade Group is the focus today!"
"The reason why we asked Cheng Feng to be present today is not just because of what happened in Kunming!"
Liang Junzheng took out a newspaper and said:
"Look at this title! "Dade Group's Financial Problems, Forged Signature Incident"
Liang Junzheng stood up angrily and said to everyone in the conference room:
"Look at what it says here. Mr. Cheng of Dade Group actually forged the chairman's signature and handed an annual advertisement that was damaging to Dade Group to a little-known advertising company!"
"Boss Cheng, the "prince" of our Dade Group is using the interests of the company to harm the interests of other shareholders!"
Cheng Shengen saw that he couldn't escape, so he said frankly:
"Shi Xiaomeng has already discovered this. Didn't we cancel the contract with this company before? Besides, this matter did not harm the interests of other shareholders. This is why I promoted Shi Xiaomeng!"
Shi Xiaomeng smiled kindly and sincerely at Cheng Shengen, as if thanking Cheng Shengen for his promotion.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now!" Liang Junzheng did not continue to pester, but took out another newspaper and said:
"Then let's discuss the next question. How did Cheng Feng's donation of 300 million to the Noble Kindergarten become a company donation?
"In addition, there is one more thing that is not mentioned in the newspaper!" He turned to look at Lu Manjia and said:
"Please ask Director Lu from the Finance Department to report to our shareholders about Cheng Feng's financial deficit!"
In the conference room, when people first heard about Cheng Feng’s financial deficit, everyone immediately started buzzing with discussion!
Lu Manjia stood up expressionlessly, circulated the information that had been prepared long ago to everyone, and then said:
"After I reported this matter to Vice President Hong Deming to no avail, I reported it to Chairman Cheng the next day!"
"Oh~! What did Chairman Cheng say?" Liang Junzheng asked indifferently.
"Liang Junzheng, Lu Manjia~!" Cheng Shengen looked at Lu Manjia with gritted teeth, trying to make Lu Manjia shut up!
Liang Junzheng said suddenly: "Mr. Cheng is not trying to threaten our financial director!"
Lu Manjia said fearlessly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, as the company's financial director, I need to be responsible for the entire company and all shareholders!"
So the other shareholders immediately disagreed and asked Lu Manjia to continue, so Lu Manjia said lightly:
"Boss Cheng asked me to transfer Cheng Feng's financial deficit to the company, including the donation to the aristocratic kindergarten and other reimbursement expenses for picking up girls!"
Originally Cheng Shengen wanted to refute, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong with today's situation. Thinking that it was only 529 million, he didn't think of taking any chances.
So Chen Shengen said, "I think Director Lu must have heard it wrong. I seemed to be saying that I would transfer money from my personal account to offset Cheng Feng's deficit!"
However, Lu Manjia said slowly:
"Since Mr. Cheng is willing to pay to settle the account, as the financial director, I naturally have no objection, but I still want to clarify one thing!"
"I didn't hear it wrong!" Lu Manjia took out her phone and clicked on a recording to play it. Then, a conversation between Cheng Shengen and Lu Manjia could be heard:
"...the two million will be given as gifts to customers. As for the three million, it will be donated in the name of the company..."
After the recording was played, the entire conference room was buzzing with discussion:
"It's exactly the same as Director Lu said!"
"that is!"
“So Mr. Cheng…!”
The following words are a bit unpleasant to hear.
Cheng Shengen's face suddenly turned gloomy. He didn't expect Lu Manjia to record the conversation. This made him lose face back home!
At this time Lu Manjia said:
"I still say that if President Cheng is willing to pay for Cheng Feng and does not harm the interests of the company, I naturally have no objection!"
Cheng Shengen looked at Lu Manjia coldly and said:
"I'll transfer the money to the company account this afternoon!"
"Okay, I'm a little tired. The doctor told me not to overwork. Let's end our meeting here today!"
Having said that, Cheng Shengen was ready to leave, because he knew that Liang Junzheng would definitely drop a bombshell against Hong Deming next, so he tried to delay time!
However, surprisingly, Liang Junzheng did not speak. Instead, Shi Xiaomeng, who had been invisible all along, said:
"Mr. Cheng, the company is in an emergency right now. The stock price is about to hit the limit. The most important thing now is how to stabilize the stock price. Also, the company needs someone who can make decisions!"
"Looking at your situation, you seem powerless to lead everyone out of the predicament. How about we let Cheng Feng continue to take over your duties?"
After Shi Xiaomeng finished speaking, the conference room fell silent!
Cheng Shengen frowned deeply. Under normal circumstances, the second largest shareholder, Hong Deming, should be appointed as the acting general manager.
However, Hong Deming himself was caught up in a public opinion storm for embezzling tens of millions of profits from Dade, and was not suitable to be the acting general manager. The purpose of his adjourning the meeting just now was to delay time and work with Hong Deming to calm things down and eliminate the negative impact!
In this case, the next person who can serve as general manager will naturally be the third largest shareholder Liang Junzheng. But now Liang Junzheng is silent and seems to be not interested in the position of general manager!
This strange scene made Cheng Shengen a little confused. It is said that one should choose the lesser of two evils. Compared with Hong Deming, who had a bigger problem, Cheng Feng's minor problem that was not itchy or painful was actually the best choice.
Although he felt a little uneasy, thinking that Cheng Feng being the general manager would be good for Shi Xiaomeng, after thinking about it, Cheng Shengen said:
"Okay, then let Cheng Feng continue to represent me as the general manager of Dade Group for the time being. After I recover from my illness, I will continue to take on the position!"
At this time, there was a sparse applause. Although it was not very enthusiastic, no one objected for the time being! "Wait!" However, the slap in the face came so quickly. Just when I thought that no one objected, Liang Junzheng suddenly stood up and said:
"Before, Cheng Feng was the acting general manager. He dared to forge your signature for his own selfish reasons. If he continues to be the acting general manager, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause!"
"Everyone agrees, right?" As soon as Liang Junzheng finished speaking, he immediately won the unanimous approval of the other shareholders.
Then a shareholder said, "I propose that the second largest shareholder, Hong Deming, be appointed as the acting general manager. What do you think?"
Cheng Shengen glanced at Liang Junzheng and was suddenly startled. He suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, so he slapped the table and said angrily:
"I'm not dead yet, are you so anxious to take my place?"
The reason why Cheng Shengen did this was because he saw the newspaper in Liang Junzheng's hand, which contained the report about Hong Deming embezzling Dade's assets.
He knew that Liang Junzheng was ready to take action against Hong Deming, so he had to interrupt their discussion and make the final decision!
Then Cheng Shengen said:
"Cheng Feng is still the acting general manager, but the orders he makes must be supported by at least one major shareholder, otherwise they will be considered invalid!"
Cheng Shengen and Cheng Feng hold a combined 27% of the shares, while Hong Deming holds 14%. Together with the portion of outstanding shares he holds, he is able to fully control the Dade Group.
As for Liang Junzheng's 12% stake, even if some small shareholders are included, it still won't cause any waves.
What's more, some of the small shareholders are his direct relatives.
After Cheng Shengen finished speaking, Liang Junzheng did not say anything else. He did not continue to pursue the matter of Hong Deming's embezzlement of Dade's assets, nor did he forcefully demand the position of Dade's general manager.
Liang Junzheng glanced at Shi Xiaomeng inadvertently and a smile appeared on his face.
After the meeting, Cheng Feng patted Shi Xiaomeng on the shoulder, and then said with emotion:
"Thank you, brother. If you hadn't spoken up for me, I'm afraid~!"
Shi Xiaomeng waved his hand and said:
"Brothers, please stop saying those irrelevant words. I believe you can handle this position well! Besides, I can't help you in any way!"
Cheng Feng immediately said: "No matter what, you are still able to stand by my side at this time. It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. We are indeed good brothers!"
At this time, Shi Xiaomeng said: "By the way, since you are back, you'd better clarify the matter of contraband and try to reduce the negative impact. After all, you are in a lot of trouble now!"
"Thanks, brother! I'll go down first!" Cheng Feng looked at the reporters gathered downstairs, then turned and went downstairs.
Shi Xiaomeng smiled as he watched Cheng Feng coming down the stairs, with eight teeth showing at the corners of his cracked mouth. Although he was smiling, no matter how you looked at him, he looked like he was ready to bite someone.

at the same time.
Lin Hao also returned to Beijing at the same time. After bringing the three women home, Lin Hao came to his own Xingyuan Financial Investment Company.
As soon as he entered the company, he saw Shen Bing waiting for him, and then he looked Shen Bing up and down.
At this time, Shen Bing was wearing all branded clothes, with exquisite makeup on her face. She walked neatly and swiftly, but there was still a hint of purity in her body.
Facing Lin Hao's scrutiny, Shen Bing said calmly:
"Boss Lin, you're back!" Shen Bing then pointed to the reception room and said, "Boss Shao and Boss Wu are waiting for you in the reception room!"
Lin Hao did not leave, but said:
"How is it? Are you used to it here?"
Shen Bing's true colors immediately showed up when she heard this, and she said shyly:
"Yeah! The time is too short, I still need to adapt!"
Lin Hao shook his head. It would be better if the training time was longer, but it was barely enough for now, so he said:
"It's okay. You were in good condition just now. As long as the breath doesn't dissipate, I guess no one else will be able to notice it!"
Then Lin Hao came to the reception room and greeted Shao Huayang and Wu Wei.
After a round of greetings, Lin Hao asked: "How is our battle going?"
Now Wu Wei is in high spirits. He has reconciled with Wu Mei. This is all thanks to Lin Hao's idea. He accidentally showed his notebook to Wu Mei, which really moved her.
The most important thing is that Lin Hao somehow managed to restore his body to health, but it was cancer!
Now that he has recovered his health and has achieved success in both love and career, he naturally agreed to all of Lin Hao's requests, so Wu Wei smiled and said:
"The stock price has been pushed down from 27 yuan to 21 yuan. Judging from the current situation, it should be able to be pushed down further. If the positions are being closed to cash out, the estimated net profit will be nearly 1.4 million!"
Shao Huayang also said: "By the way, Mr. Lin, what's the situation at Dade? Are they going to invest money to raise the stock price?"
Lin Hao and the other two were not surprised that the profit was only 1.4 million, because their goal has never been such a small amount of money, but the big pie of Dade Group!
Lin Hao shook his head and said, "That depends on the outcome of their negotiations. If they succeed, we will go long. If the negotiations fail, we will throw in a trump card and bring their stock price down to single digits!"
"Hahaha!" Shao Huayang laughed and said:
"I have to say, it's really refreshing to work with you, Boss Lin. No wonder Boss Lin has earned this huge fortune in less than half a year!"
"Hahaha~!" Wu Wei also laughed and said, "Indeed, President Lin's ability to turn clouds and rain with a flip of his hand is truly astonishing!"
The three of them then discussed the follow-up plans.
At Dade Group, Hong Deming and Cheng Feng sent Cheng Shengen to the sanatorium, and then Cheng Shengen said to Chen Feng:
"Xiao Feng, I want to discuss something with your Uncle Hong. Please go back and take care of the company's affairs first!"
"Okay, then take care of yourself, I'm going back first!"
If such a big thing had not happened in the company requiring him to attend the company meeting, Cheng Feng would have run to find Shen Bing long ago. Hearing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the sanatorium directly.
