37: Chapter 37 Major Shareholders

"Huh?" Shang Yanyan blinked.

She was a bit confused by what she heard, but seeing Chen Feng's serious expression, she still nodded subconsciously.

As for whether she really took it to heart, who knows.

Chen Feng could only help this much with this matter.

He couldn't just say, "In three years, your dad's company will go bankrupt, and he will jump off a building," could he?

Who would believe that!

Seeing the two whispering there, Liu Mingliang felt very unhappy, but he could only force a smile onto his face.

"Uncle Shang, actually, I came here this time with some good news for you, related to your company."

"Oh?" Shang Jun was a bit surprised.

Liu Mingliang pointed at Shang Yanyan not far away and smiled, "Uncle Shang, Yanyan is graduating this year, right? She should start learning about company matters. How about we call her over to listen together?"

"Alright then." Shang Jun did not object.

He only had this one daughter, and eventually, he would have to hand over the company to Shang Yanyan to manage.

"Yanyan, come sit over here."

"Oh." Shang Yanyan sat over reluctantly, dragging Chen Feng along with her.

Shang Jun took a look. He did not object.

Liu Mingliang then said, "I also heard that Uncle Shang's company recently encountered financial difficulties, and just now I heard you talking about selling the villa. I don't think the villa needs to be sold; I have already found funding for you!"

"Mingliang, you aren't lying to me, are you?" Shang Jun clearly did not quite believe what the other party was saying.

During this period, he had also sought out many people, but no one was willing to provide financial assistance.

After all! The money he needed was not a few million. It was in the hundreds of millions!

The R&D of Artificial Intelligence is extremely capital-intensive; a few million would probably be burned through in a month!

"Uncle Shang, I have indeed found funding!" Liu Mingliang said with absolute certainty, "You know Wenyu Investment Co., Ltd., right? Their total assets are in the tens of billions. As long as they are willing to invest in your company, all problems can be solved!"

Shang Jun sighed, "Do you think I haven't approached them? Although the R&D of Artificial Intelligence seems to have good prospects, it burns money too fast. I approached them last month, and I was rejected!"

Liu Mingliang smiled, "You must have approached the current president, Yun Ting, right? According to the information I received, the largest shareholder of Wenyu Investment Co., Ltd. is not her. It is someone else, and that major shareholder holds 55% of the shares. They have absolute say! As long as you can get the approval of that major shareholder, your company will be saved!"

"Is the information reliable?" Shang Jun suddenly raised his head, looking at him with burning eyes.

Originally, he had reached a dead end, but now he suddenly had a glimmer of hope again.

"Absolutely reliable!" Liu Mingliang glanced at Shang Yanyan beside him, as if wanting to take credit.

"According to the information I found, that major shareholder bought shares of Wenyu Investment Co., Ltd. 15 years ago. They spent a total of 60 million at the time!"

"It is said that in 2015, the company underwent huge changes, performance slid all the way down, and it was almost bankrupt. Other shareholders sold off their shares one after another. Only that major shareholder kept holding onto them. Later, the company overcame the crisis, and the performance kept getting better, reaching tens of billions in assets today! That major shareholder instantly became a billionaire!"

Regarding this kind of inside information, Shang Jun had not deliberately inquired about it, but upon hearing it now, he was still somewhat impressed. The other party certainly had patience!

Chen Feng, on the side, had a strange expression. It wasn't that mysterious! I only became the major shareholder of Wenyu Investment Co., Ltd. yesterday. Unexpected, right!

"What, Brother Chen, do you think what I said is wrong?" Liu Mingliang raised his eyebrows.

You are just a student; you probably haven't even heard of such high-level matters!

Chen Feng smiled, "It's nothing, go on."

Liu Mingliang then continued, "For these ten-plus years, the other party has never revealed their identity, nor have they interfered in company matters. It wasn't until yesterday that the identity of that major shareholder was finally exposed! I also obtained the other party's phone number through various channels!"

Once these words were spoken, Shang Jun instantly became excited.

"Nephew Mingliang, this phone number..."

"Uncle Shang, don't worry, I will definitely be able to help you get the investment. Leave this matter to me!" Liu Mingliang patted his chest, "However, I have one request, and I hope Uncle Shang can agree."

"As long as you can help me get the investment, you will be a great contributor to Haitian Intelligent. Just name whatever request you have!"

Hearing Shang Jun's words, Liu Mingliang was also extremely excited, "Uncle Shang, then I will be direct. I am also someone who studies the field of Artificial Intelligence technology. I want to join the company's R&D department! Also, you know that I have always liked Yanyan, if it's possible..."

"Liu Mingliang, don't go too far!" Shang Yanyan directly interrupted him. She was also quite angry!

This guy was really going too far; he actually wanted to use the company's interests to tie himself to her. At this moment, the more she looked at Liu Mingliang, the more annoyed she felt!

Shang Jun's brows also furrowed. He was a bit displeased! But then he relaxed, "Mingliang, I can't manage you young people's affairs, and I don't want to. However, if you can get this investment, you can join the R&D department! I know you are interested in Artificial Intelligence. Our company has also made huge breakthroughs in this area, and I can let you be in charge of a project!"

Liu Mingliang shook his head. Shang Jun's brows furrowed again, "Yanyan's matters depend on herself, Mingliang. I hope you can understand..."

"Uncle Shang misunderstood." Seeing that Shang Yanyan on the side was about to get angry, Liu Mingliang smiled, "What I mean is, not only do I want to join the R&D department and be in charge of a project, I also want 5% of the shares in Haitian Intelligent! Of course, I can buy these shares with money!"

He stopped mentioning the matter of Shang Yanyan. It was just like friends borrowing money; originally I wanted to borrow 1 million from you, you felt it was too much, then I lowered it to 500,000, and you immediately agreed. This is a psychological tactic!

Shang Jun was silent for a while. After a long time, he finally sighed and said, "If you can get 500 million in investment, I will agree to all these conditions!"

"Deal!" Liu Mingliang felt a surge of joy. As long as he could successfully enter Haitian Intelligent, he wouldn't have fewer opportunities to see Shang Yanyan in the future. Then he would have more contact. With back and forth, over a long time, love would grow, and he wouldn't be able to help himself... Wouldn't she accept him then?!

Chen Feng, on the side, muttered softly, "I'm not a fool. I invest in you, let you take shares and hit on girls, and let you take all the benefits?!"

"Brother Chen, what are you saying?" Liu Mingliang looked at him with an arrogant face. The reason he didn't avoid discussing company matters in front of him just now was to show off his sense of superiority. Look! We are both in our twenties. You are still a giant baby in the cradle of school, still having to reach out to your family for living expenses every month. And me? Now, the people I interact with are big bosses with net worths of hundreds of millions. Perspective, net worth, and experience. We are completely not on the same level!
