139: The powerful Jiang Ruiming, shareholder negotiation resolution
“Miss Lili, that question should be coming from me. What do you want?”
In fact, helping Jiang Qianyu defeat Jiang Ruiming to become the Chairman of Jiahua Group was simple. Gao Ze only needed to win over a few shareholders who supported Jiang Ruiming, preventing Jiang Ruiming’s shares from exceeding 50%.
Then, he wouldn't be able to become the Chairman of Jiahua, and Jiang Qianyu would be able to maintain her current position and influence.
But Gao Ze was not satisfied with just that, and Zhou Xianlong’s appearance and strength also didn't allow him to be without cards in his hand.
So his true intention was to support Jiang Qianyu in ascending to power.
However, making Jiang Qianyu the head of a large company with a market value of seventy to eighty billion yuan was far from simple, requiring more planning, and Lili was a crucial part of Gao Ze’s plan.
“Mr. Gao, what do you mean?”
Lili looked at Gao Ze suspiciously.
“What I mean is, why are you still hiding your identity from Jiang Qianyu now?”
“Clearly, Jiang Ruiming, whom you’re behind, already holds 52% of Jiahua’s shares. As long as a shareholders’ meeting is convened, he can become the de facto Chairman of Jiahua.”
Gao Ze asked, “You can now tell Jiang Qianyu your true identity. With Jiang Qianyu’s current strength and influence in Jiahua, she can’t do anything to you!”
“You don’t even have to worry about me threatening you with this secret!”
Lili’s eyes widened instantly, and she blurted out, “How did you know Jiang Ruiming controls 52% of Jiahua?”
“You answer my question first!”
Gao Ze wanted to understand the reason behind Lili’s actions. Although Lili seemed insignificant, being able to become Jiang Qianyu’s confidante meant her abilities were definitely not ordinary. She also knew Jiang Ruiming’s exact shareholding, indicating she was clearly just as trusted by Jiang Ruiming.
“Because Miss Jiang treats me very well, I don’t want her to be disappointed and hurt if she finds out my true identity!”
“Moreover, Mr. Gao, you should know that when the Xingsheng Bank robbery occurred, Miss Jiang even risked danger to run outside the bank and wait anxiously for me, worrying about my safety.”
Lili’s eyes were complex, and she sighed softly, “I don’t deny that Jiang Ruiming gave me a large sum of 500,000 yuan back then.
It was precisely because of that money that, when I had no income in college, I was able to treat my mother’s illness, renovate my old home, and complete college without worries until I found a job.”
“But I only received this one payment from Jiang Ruiming; I didn’t take any more!”
“It seems that Jiang Qianyu’s position and importance in your heart are higher than Jiang Ruiming’s. So why did you help Jiang Ruiming go against her?”
“I didn’t!”
Lili suddenly looked up, stating seriously:
“I have never helped Jiang Ruiming deal with Miss Jiang, nor have I done anything harmful to Miss Jiang. I merely followed Jiang Ruiming’s arrangements to monitor Miss Jiang’s private activities and social circle.”
“Besides that, I also help Jiang Ruiming analyze and sort out financial work and manage interpersonal relationships!”
“I believe you!”
Understanding Lili’s specific experiences, Gao Ze no longer had any hidden concerns and said:
“But since you consider Jiang Qianyu more important, why do you still sit back and watch Jiang Ruiming become the Chairman of Jiahua Group? Don’t you know that this will make Miss Jiang’s years of hard work and effort come to naught?”
“I know, but Miss Jiang is not Jiang Ruiming’s opponent!”
“To be honest, Jiang Ruiming’s ability is at least twenty to thirty percent stronger than Miss Jiang’s. Moreover, Jiang Ruiming has been planning within Jiahua Group for many years for today’s situation. Now is the time to reap the harvest. Even Chairman Jiang Wenhao can’t do anything, and I can’t see any hope for Miss Jiang to win.
It might be better to let Miss Jiang be a wealthy lady and manage some small businesses like bars.”
Oh, is Jiang Qianyu’s business acumen that poor?
But it’s not too bad, only twenty to thirty percent weaker. The most important thing is that she’s obedient.
“Then I’ll help Jiang Qianyu!” Gao Ze asked, “Do you also think there’s no hope of winning against Jiang Ruiming?”
Lili said, “Mr. Gao, you can’t compare with Jiang Ruiming. You two are not even in the same industry!”
“It seems you really think Jiang Ruiming is very strong, so much so that even the Jiahua shareholders I invite won’t be of any use and won’t change the situation.”
Not saying directly was itself an attitude. Gao Ze asked directly, “Miss Lili, I think you should be clear about Jiang Ruiming’s hidden weaknesses. If I ask for your help to deal with him, can you help?”
The intelligence system only updated a lot of information and secrets about Jiahua shareholders, but not Jiang Ruiming’s personal information.
However, Gao Ze guessed that such a well-connected and deeply strategic capitalist figure also had weaknesses. Although the system intelligence did not disclose them, Lili might know.
Lili remained silent, her face showing struggle and hesitation.
Seeing such an expression, Gao Ze already understood: “I understand. It seems you know. Don’t feel troubled. After I make these Jiahua shareholders switch sides, I can let you make a decision again!”
Lili slowly looked up, wanting to speak but holding back, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
Gao Ze was merely a police officer, outstanding in handling cases and equally meritorious, but how could he possibly deal with the heir of a group worth nearly a hundred billion yuan, who was also an excellent CEO about to take control of the group?
She understood even less why Jiang Qianyu placed her hopes on Gao Ze, and why Gao Ze was so confident?
“Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Gao, but please keep my secret from Miss Jiang.”
Lili held no hope for this negotiation with the shareholders at Peace Hotel, only wishing Gao Ze would keep her secret.
Just then, Jiang Qianyu had found her way there and, seeing Gao Ze and Lili closely together in a corner, her expression grew strange:
“Mr. Gao, why are you here?
Lili, you’re not bothering Mr. Gao, are you?”
“It’s a shame Qing Yan is your idol, and you’re so eager to seduce her man. Aren’t you afraid Qing Yan will tear you apart? This is not the time to talk about relationships!”
Glaring fiercely at Lili twice, Jiang Qianyu pulled Gao Ze out of the corner and walked towards the Dragon and Phoenix Private Room at Peace Hotel.
“Mr. Gao, all the Jiahua shareholders you asked me to invite are here. Six people, excluding the shareholder representatives of the investment institutions supporting Jiang Ruiming, have arrived at the Dragon and Phoenix Private Room at Peace Hotel.”
“This includes Chairman Chen Zhending of Hengli Group!”
“When I called him, he initially didn’t want to come, but after I mentioned your name, he indeed agreed to come as you said, Mr. Gao.”
“Mr. Gao, why is this? Do you have some magic over Chen Zhending?”
Jiang Qianyu’s eyes were full of curiosity and eagerness to learn, and Lili’s expression also froze upon hearing this.
Isn’t Chen Zhending, the Chairman of Hengli Group, a billionaire with a net worth of several billion yuan?
