Chapter 320: Juqing Acquires Anning Real Estate
Since Ning Zhiyuan is not present at the board meeting, it doesn’t matter who presides over it.
"Old Chen, it's just you!"
"Yeah, Lao Chen, let's get started quickly, otherwise those reporters outside will really laugh at us!"
"Don't waste time, Old Chen, let's start the meeting right away!"
Chairman Chen reluctantly stood up and nodded to everyone present: "Alright then, I'll preside over this board meeting."
The secretary stepped forward, removed Ning Zhiyuan's nameplate from the front position, and replaced it with Mr. Chen's.
"Then let's get straight to the point."
Director Chen raised his hand, and the assistant who had been waiting for a long time turned on the computer. The large screen facing the desk lit up, and the bright blue light in the background shone on his mottled hair. On it were a few large words written prominently:
【Merger and Acquisition Plan for Anning Real Estate】
Seeing this, all the directors at the long table were stunned for a moment, and then exchanged surprised looks with each other.
An older director frowned and said, "Old Chen, you must be mistaken. The main entity is our company. It should be the Anning Real Estate M&A plan. Moreover, our company's current strength is not yet at the level of acquiring other companies!"
"Cut the slide!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the reporters outside the conference room.
Sure enough, there were flashes of light outside and reporters were whispering to each other, obviously discussing the titles on the slides.
"I'm not wrong, it's you who misunderstood!"
Chairman Chen suddenly spoke, his experienced yet venomous gaze sweeping across the long table. "Next, on behalf of Juqing Real Estate, I will explain to you our plan to acquire Anning Real Estate. But before that, let me introduce someone to you!"
As he said this, he stood up and turned towards the transparent window and the elevator entrance.
There was no time to be shocked. Everyone followed his gaze, including the media reporters outside with their cameras.
"Ding!"
The digital screen on the elevator door showed the word 'arrival', and someone got on the elevator. Who could it be? Was it the late Ning Zhiyuan?
The silver-glowing metal door slowly opened, and a bit of pink, representing femininity, first caught the eye. Then the pink gradually occupied the field of vision, and a plump figure revealed her true face. Zhou Yuan, wearing large high heels, stepped out, and the flesh on her face trembled with every step.
But she was completely unaware of it and held her head high, like a pig being worshipped on an altar.
Behind her were three subordinates, one of whom was her own special assistant, and the remaining two were representatives of Juqing Real Estate!
The four of them walked past the seated reporters as if they were alone and looked down on everyone, walked straight to the conference room, pushed open the door and walked in like the owner!
The people who saw this were so shocked that they were speechless, and it took them a while to recover:
"Is it Zhou Yuan? Am I seeing things?"
"It's really her!"
"Oh my god, how could someone from Juqing Group appear on the board of directors of Anning Real Estate?"
"Look, Mr. Chen from Anning Real Estate is bowing to Zhou Yuan. What's the relationship between these two companies?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of shutter clicks rang out one after another. Director Chen bent down to Zhou Yuan, and the stunned faces of the directors at the long table were frozen into a photo, which might appear on tonight's evening news or be printed in tomorrow's newspaper.
"Oh!"
A director at the end of the long table slammed his desk and stood up: "Old Chen, what do you mean, you sold the company without telling any of us?"
"You're crazy! Don't you understand Juqing's style? Do you know how other real estate companies will view us if you do this?"
"The reputation we've built up over the years at Anning Real Estate has been completely ruined by you!"
Those who can sit at this long table are not stupid. They have been wondering before how Lao Chen was able to quietly complete the bidding documents for the resort by himself and even come up with more than 600 million to develop the resort. After seeing Zhou Yuan, they finally understood!
Old Chen secretly joined the Juqing Group!
Although the other chairmen didn't say anything, they cast cold glances at Lao Chen and Zhou Yuan, with unwelcome written all over their faces.
"laugh."
At this moment, Zhou Yuan sneered, her cold-blooded eyes narrowing like a crocodile. "After all these years of hard work at Anning Real Estate, have you put all your efforts into talking? No wonder you haven't been able to break into a top real estate company for all these years!"
"Reputation? If you want fame, why are you pursuing real estate? You should just go into charity!"
"Only worthless companies would band together for support. You can't pick up money on a road filled with people. If you want to grow big and strong, the road you have to take is destined to be lonely and difficult. Juqing Group has a bad reputation, but so what? Aren't we still the leading group?"
"Since you care so much about what other companies think, I can only advise you to change your career. Real estate is not for you!"
She glanced at the crowd with contempt, her portly body blocking the words 'An Ning Real Estate' on the screen behind her, leaving only the merger and acquisition plan.
It seemed as if she came here today just to keep An Ning Real Estate firmly in her hands.
The long table fell into silence. All the directors' eyes flickered, and there was hesitation written on their faces.
It can be said that the original intention of every company to be established is for money. Anning Real Estate cannot escape this most worldly desire. They certainly want to become bigger and stronger, and proudly stand at the top of the real estate pyramid and overlook everything.
But the gravity of reality is too strong, and for more than 20 years, Anning Real Estate has only been hovering in the second and third tier cities.
If, if one day they could become as successful as the Juqing Group, then abandoning their so-called reputation wouldn't be a bad idea...
At the end of the long table, the chairman who had just been talking about his reputation sat down angrily, his face struggling like a tiny duckweed being blown by a violent storm.
No one spoke anymore, and no one wanted to speak.
Because they all knew that Ning Zhiyuan had not come yet, and the matter was only one step away from being a foregone conclusion.
"very good."
Zhou Yuan chuckled, resting her hands on the desk, and said cheerfully, "Now, let me tell you about how much resources and support you will receive over the next year after joining Juqing Real Estate, and how far you will reach."
"Don't doubt my words. Rest assured, I can fully represent the Juqing Group. The promises I make are more reliable than the agreements with your so-called trusted peers. I acquired you to lead you to glory!"
Regardless of her purpose in saying this, the directors present heard it and were deeply moved.
No one who climbs from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain can resist the temptation of climbing to the top of the mountain and overlooking everything.
The computer brought by the Juqing Real Estate representative was connected to the big screen. When the huge Juqing Group logo appeared, the flashes outside the conference room were as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Who would have thought that the huge logo of Juqing Group would be seen at the board meeting of Anning Real Estate.
Zhou Yuan smiled contentedly.
However, at this moment, the flashes of light disappeared at the same time, and the reporters outside turned their heads and looked towards the elevator for some reason.
