Chapter 571 Planning
After Zhang Wei and his group of five arrived at Xiangjiang, it was already time for dinner! Zhang Hua led a group of people to visit his father, and they were arranged to have a reunion dinner together.
Because it was Zhang Kunzhong's seventieth birthday, all five of his children had to rush back to Xiangjiang to celebrate his birthday. In addition to Zhang Pingsheng, Zhang Pinghua, and Zhang Pingxia, Zhang Kunzhong's eldest daughter's family also rushed back.
Zhang Kunzhong's eldest daughter is named Zhang Junlan. She is the eldest of the five siblings. She has been working and living in Europe these years. Because her husband and children are both working, she is the only one who returned to Xiangjiang.
Zhang Kunzhong’s other daughter is named Zhang Junyue. Due to a flight delay, she will not be able to return to Xiangjiang tomorrow, so this time, only the four children of the Zhang family are actually gathering together.
Zhang Pingsheng's wife, named Fei Li, also came back from the United States specially this time. It was the first time for Zhang Wei to meet these two elders, so naturally he had to meet them again.
After all, Aunt Fei Li and Zhang Wei are not related by blood, and they have not seen each other for so many years. Naturally, they cannot be too close. They are just polite greetings. However, Zhang Junlan hugged Zhang Wei and cried, which made Zhang Wei feel
I was a little embarrassed, but I felt a little warmer in my heart, and I also felt a little more recognition for this aunt.
After dinner, Zhang Kunzhong left several children alone, while the younger generation left separately. Zhang Wei also returned to his villa and was pestered by Zhang Zhongyi to play chess.
Zhang Wei was not a stranger to the Zhang family, and was not used to going to bed early, so he simply played chess with his younger brother. It was not until Zhang Pinghua's conversation ended that the two brothers ended the chess game.
After Zhang Pinghua walked into his villa, he saw his two sons playing chess and couldn't help but smile. When he first met Zhang Wei, he was worried that Zhang Wei would not be able to integrate into the Zhang family, but now it seems that his worries were unfounded.
"Mom and Dad, you're back." Zhang Zhongyi saw his parents walking into the house and immediately jumped up from the sofa and said.
"Yeah." Zhang Pinghua responded with a smile, patted Zhang Zhongyi's head again, then turned to Zhang Wei and said: "Awei, come to my study, I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Zhang Wei responded with a smile, nodded to Mrs. Rong, and then followed Zhang Pinghua to the second floor.
After Zhang Pinghua came to the study, they sat on the sofa on the right side of the study. Zhang Pinghua patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Awei, you have done a good job recently. The old man praised you just now."
"I'm just trying my best, but my grandfather and you taught me better." Zhang Wei said with a calm smile.
Zhang Wei's face was not obvious, but he was very happy in his heart. The reason why he entered Huayang Company and the reason why he worked hard to get promoted in Huayang Company was to make the old man pay attention to him, wasn't it?
Of course, Zhang Kunzhong just praised him and did not attract his special attention. Otherwise, if Zhang Kunzhong asked his children to talk tonight, he might bring Zhang Wei with him.
"Dad, what do you want to see me for? Is it because of my grandfather's conversation tonight?" Zhang Wei asked.
"That's right. You should know that we came back this time just to celebrate your grandfather's birthday, but there is another meaning besides celebrating his birthday." Zhang Pinghua said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Wei asked confused.
"Every few years, Hongding Group will hold a board of directors election, and the shareholder with the highest share votes will become the new chairman of Hongding Group," Zhang Pinghua said.
"Dad, you mean that my grandfather's birthday is related to the election of the board of directors." Zhang Wei asked.
"This year it is the turn of the board of directors to elect. Your grandfather wants to use his birthday to invite all the major shareholders of Hongding Group, so that he can get enough votes to keep your grandfather's seat as chairman.
"Zhang Pinghua said.
After hearing Zhang Pinghua's words, Zhang Wei's expression became solemn. Zhang Wei's rapid promotion in Huayang Company and his smooth settlement of Guan Zilong's matter were all due to the prestige of the chairman of Hongding Group.
If Zhang Kunzhong cannot retain his position as chairman, this will only be a matter of appearance, and it will also weaken the Zhang family's control over Hongding Group, as well as the Zhang family's influence and relationship with the outside world.
Therefore, on the matter of Hongding Group's board of directors election, the Zhang family's opinions are surprisingly unified, because this matter is related to the interests of every Zhang family.
It is said that both gain and lose, even Zhang Wei's lazy attitude towards this matter is no exception.
"Dad, what are the chances of my grandfather retaining his seat as chairman? Are there any strong competitors?" Zhang Wei asked with a trace of concern on his face.
"Our Zhang family owns 18% of the shares in the Hongding Group Corporation. We can be said to be the largest shareholders of the Hongding Group. Together with some shareholders who are good friends with the Zhang family, we want to keep the chairman of the Hongding Group.
There is still a lot of hope for the seats." Zhang Pinghua showed a hint of pride on his face, and then analyzed:
"If we talk about the competitors in the board of directors election, they are the Su family and the Wei family of Hongding Group. The Su family owns 10% of the shares of the head office, and the Wei family owns 11% of the shares of the head office. This
Both families have competed for the chairmanship before, and I think they will not give up this time."
"Oh, so that's it." Zhang Wei responded and said.
"However, you don't have to worry too much. Your grandfather has a high prestige in Hongding Group and is still very sure of retaining his chairman's seat." Zhang Pinghua said.
"I understand." Zhang Wei said.
"Well, then you should go to bed early today. Tomorrow I will introduce you to some shareholders of the head office. They are the real people in charge of Hongding Group." Zhang Pinghua said.
"Okay, then I'm going to take a rest first." Zhang Wei responded with a smile, and then walked out of the study.
In the living room of a luxurious villa in Xiangjiang, two people were sitting on the sofa talking. One of them was an old man who was about seventy years old. He had dyed black hair without a trace of white hair. He was tall and well-built.
The other middle-aged man is about fifty years old. He has a fair face and no beard, is gorgeously dressed, has an elegant manner, and talks humorously. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.
These two people were none other than Wei Zifu, the second largest shareholder of Hongding Group, and Su Mu, the third largest shareholder. The reason why the two of them got together to talk was also for Zhang Kunzhong's birthday banquet.
"Mr. Wei, I thought about it carefully and thought that just to be on the safe side, I'd better attend Mr. Zhang's birthday ceremony tomorrow to at least see which shareholders have defected to the other party," Su Mu said.
"Well, be careful with Wannian Ship. Although the combined shares of you and me exceed those of the Zhang family, this advantage is not very big. The most important thing is the number of shareholders' supporters on both sides." Wei Zifu nodded.
said.
"Yes, we should try not to let the Zhang family know about our two families joining forces, otherwise it will avoid unnecessary trouble." Su Mu said.
"Of course I know this. That old man Zhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise he would not be able to occupy the position of chairman all the time." Wei Zifu sighed and said.
Wei Zifu and Zhang Kunzhong are about the same age. It can be said that the two have been fighting for their whole lives, but Wei Zifu has always been overwhelmed by the other, and you can imagine his frustration.
The heads of the two families and the shareholders of the group actually gathered twice in one day, which shows how seriously they take this matter.
"Xiao Su, those two children have been dating for a while, and they got engaged some time ago. In my opinion, we should choose a good day early next year and let the two children get married. It must be done by then.
It's so lively." Wei Zifu suggested with a smile on his face.
"Okay, since Mr. Wei has spoken, I, as a junior, naturally have no objection. I think those two children must be very happy too." Su Mu said with a smile.
"I estimate that even if Old Man Zhang was thinking hard, he would never have thought of you. Our two families will join forces. As long as you and I can unite, we will definitely win in the board of directors. At that time, Hongding Group can use our will to
It's the Lord." Wei Zifu said confidently.
"Yes, our two families have had some misunderstandings over the years. Otherwise, because the two children are together, I'm afraid they wouldn't have chosen to join forces." A strange smile appeared on Su Ming's face.
"I really can't wait to see Old Man Zhang's expression after he loses the election." Wei Zifu said with deep longing like a child who saw his beloved toy.
