Chapter 13 The Zhou Group
It was late at night and the bright moon hung high in the air to shine a peaceful area in the suburbs.
After the Zhou family’s annual meeting ended, the courtyard returned to its former purity.
At this time, Zhou Wei's study in the ancestral home was filled with people. Except for Zhou Yang and the old man, everyone was summoned here by him shortly after the annual meeting.
Including Zhou Tianlei, Zhou Yiran and Zhou Xuan, the younger generation of the Zhou family.
"Brother, have you decided?" Zhou Weixin lowered her head and smoked. The smell of alcohol on her face had not yet dissipated. She asked Zhou Weijin, who was sitting by the desk in a deep voice.
Zhou Weijin did not rush to answer, so he looked at all the people in the Zhou family here, took a sip of strong tea, and sighed softly, "Hey, what about that?"
The third brother Zhou Weiqi looked painful, but he didn't dare to interrupt. Perhaps his status in the Zhou family was average, or perhaps because he was considering other things.
The study continued to be silent, and everyone felt worried about gains and losses when they heard Zhou Weijin's previous decision.
"The road ahead is dark, and no one knows what will happen in the future, but from the current perspective, my decision will definitely not bring harm to everyone. We will look at it longer-term." Zhou Weijin continued to say to everyone patiently.
"Is there too many..." Someone among the crowd muttered softly.
"Do you all wake me up. Today's situation is not obvious enough? I don't want to say some things too badly." However, Zhou Weijin suddenly slapped the table and his voice immediately became much colder.
Hearing Zhou Weijin's slightly angry voice, Zhou Weiqi's wife turned pale at the end of the crowd and hurriedly leaned against her man.
"Okay, that's it, second brother, you will do this tomorrow. If anyone has any objections, you can stay and talk to me. I don't mind buying all your shares now." After being a leader for so many years, Zhou Weijin's words are still relatively majestic in everyone's hearts.
No one objected anymore. Zhou Weixin nodded and rubbed her slightly swollen eyebrows, stood up first and walked out of the study. Then, the others also walked out in different expressions.
Zhou Weijin was the only one left in the study, staring blankly at a certain direction for a long time.
The next day, after the early morning, it was noon.
"Hmm? Is this?" Zhou Yang opened his thick eyelids, and the alcohol had not yet dissipated, but the familiar environment in front of him made him sober a lot.
He had completely forgotten how much wine he drank last night, and the feeling of dizziness was still there, and he didn't even know when the annual meeting ended.
He lifted up his spiritual power and circulated it back and forth several times in the meridians. The dizzy feeling disappeared without a trace in a short while, and the whole person returned to his best condition.
"Hu~" exhaled a breath of turbid air, Zhou Yang got up from the bed and slowly walked around the house.
Everything in my memory has not changed, the layout and the tone are the same, and even the wedding photos of my parents were in their original position.
The walls were still full of certificates he received from school when he was a child.
Zhou Yang walked to the desk and gently stroked the books his father had read, his eyes couldn't help but become wet.
He has never been here since he left that year.
This is the courtyard where his parents lived.
Over the past few days, he has returned to the Zhou family more than once, but he has never walked into this courtyard. It is not that he doesn't want to, but that he has never raised that courage.
The first time I learned to write my own name here...
The first time my father told him about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms here...
It was the first time my mother was here to read villain's book...
Too many memories were caught off guard at this moment.
He stood quietly at the desk without realizing that his tears had already covered his face.
It was not until the sound of footsteps sounded outside that Zhou Yang's thoughts in his memories were interrupted.
"Dongdongdongdong, Master, are you awake?" Ji Rumo's crisp and beautiful voice came from outside the house.
After the annual meeting last night, because Zhou Yang was drunk, Ji Guangsheng and his daughter did not leave the Zhou family under the arrangement of Zhou Weijin, and lived next door to take care of Zhou Yang at any time.
"Come in." Zhou Yang stroked his hands and wiped away his tears.
"Squeak." Ji Rumo pushed the door into the room with a bowl of rice porridge in his hand, "Master, drink some porridge first. You drank too much yesterday."
Ji Rumo obediently handed the rice porridge to Zhou Yang.
"By the way, Master, your... uncle has been waiting for you outside for a long time, and it seems that he has something to come to you." Ji Rumo said while Zhou Yang was drinking porridge.
"Oh? I understand." After drinking the rice porridge in a few seconds, a feeling of comfort came from the belly. Zhou Yang was surprised at first, and then said calmly.
Although he was very drunk last night, he still had some impression of Zhou Weijin and his friends coming to apologize to him in the end.
Especially what Mr. Jiang said to him, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
Now Zhou Weixin comes to him for what he does...
"Also, Sister Bai returned to the capital this morning." Ji Rumo told Zhou Yang one by one as if he was reporting on his work.
"Oh." Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of loss. He looked up and found that Ji Rumo was staring at his face with his big eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yang touched his face and said angrily, thinking there was something dirty on his face.
"Sister Bai said, let me tell her your expression after hearing the news, hehe." After saying that, Ji Rumo walked out playfully with the empty bowl.
Left a speechless Zhou Yang.
Walk out of the room and walk through the corridor to the outermost room.
"Xiaoyang, you're awake..." After Zhou Weixin saw Zhou Yang coming, she quickly stood up. Her attitude was so good that she couldn't find any flaws.
"Is there anything to ask me for?...Uncle II." Looking at the few papers in front of Zhou Weixin, Zhou Yang asked calmly, but when he remembered what happened last night, he still called the other party.
When Zhou Weixin heard the other party call her second uncle, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was filled with a smile, "This is the document your uncle made overnight. You can read it first. Just ask me if you don't understand."
After saying that, Zhou Weixin picked up the document in front of him and handed it to Zhou Yang.
"Equity Distribution Plan." Looking at the big words on the top page, Zhou Yang was puzzled, equity? What equity?
After reading patiently, Zhou Yang finished reading all the documents soon.
There is nothing I don’t know. Although he has not formally been in the business field, even Tiansheng Network Media has just taken a job, but the content in the document is written simply and clearly.
"You want to give me 30% of the shares of Zhou's Group?" After reading it, Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Weixin and felt a little surprised.
As the first batch of private enterprises in Nanzhou after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou's Group has long been the leader in the industry after so many years of operation.
Although Zhou Yang is not sure what the market value of Zhou’s Group is now, it will definitely not be lower than that of his Tiansheng Network Media, and it will even be much higher.
In addition to three percent of the shares in the old man's hands, Zhou's Group also has some other technical shares. Each of the other members of the Zhou family can get at most about ten percent of the shares.
Even if Zhou Weijin, the eldest, is probably only about 30%.
If you take out 30% of your shares at once, you will feel distressed if you put them in! This is equivalent to squeeze out nearly half of each person's share.
And he, Zhou Yang, jumped into the largest shareholder of Zhou's Group!
"Yes, this is what your uncle means, and it is what we all mean. I also know that this share cannot compensate you for anything, but this is everyone's wish, and I hope you don't refuse."
Putting it outside the face is enough to make ordinary people squander assets that cannot be used up for their whole life, Zhou Weixin said to Zhou Yang in an almost begging tone.
Since the decision has been made, Zhou Weixin strives to do the best things.
Zhou Yang didn’t know what these people were thinking. They were trying to tie him together. With his banner, even if everyone has a little less shares, the benefits they get in the end may not be less than now.
This is not that Zhou Yang boasted, but that he does have such ability now.
Not to mention the distance, just talk about the Jiang family. If he knew that he had become the largest shareholder of Zhou's Group now, how could he not help?
Seeing that Zhou Yang didn't say anything, Zhou Weixin once again tried his best to persuade him, "Xiaoyang, I believe that if you are willing to accept the shares, the old man will definitely be very happy. We are descendants, who doesn't expect the old man to feel at ease?"
Perhaps it was Zhou Weixin's words that worked, or maybe Zhou Yang had figured out some other things.
I saw that Zhou Yang repeatedly read the "Equity Distribution Plan" for the second time."
"Okay, I can accept these shares, but I have three conditions." Zhou Yang said to Zhou Weixin while looking at the rules and regulations on the documents.
"You say, you say." Zhou Weixin's impatient appearance, if outsiders saw it, she would definitely not believe that she was giving something to others.
"First, although I take over 30% of the shares, unless the company reaches a point of survival, I will not interfere in any matters related to the group, nor will I attend meetings or gatherings of any nature in the name of shareholders." Zhou Yang's meaning was very obvious, and he wanted to be the boss again.
However, Zhou Weixin can agree to this without discussing it with his boss Zhou Weijin. In fact, whether Zhou Yang interferes in the group's affairs will not affect the overall situation.
"Second." Zhou Yang continued.
"I hope to take out half of my shares, that is, fifteen percent, and transfer them to Brother Jiang for free. Without him, I wouldn't be the one I am today." Zhou Yang said this without hesitation, as if he didn't care about the value of so many shares at all.
Hearing this, Zhou Weixin felt even more happy, and there was a little bit of pain before that, without a trace.
Once the Jiang family invests in the Zhou Group, it will really be like a tiger. The Zhou Group has the potential to become an industry giant in Nanzhou and even the entire Jiangnan Province.
It seems that the boss’s decision is really right!
Zhou Yang didn't think of this, but he did this not like Zhou Weixin's plan. He was purely to share the blessings with his good brothers.
In his words, except for money and everything, there is only brotherhood, and he usually doesn't use this money.
"Third, you don't need to give me the dividends I receive every year with fifteen percent of my shares. Just build a children's welfare home. If the funds are enough, build another elderly welfare home."
"What? Build a welfare home?" After hearing Zhou Yang's third condition, Zhou Weixin widened her eyes and jumped three feet high.
