After Tang Shunli left, Li Jin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the office with his arms folded, looking at the quietly flowing Nanlin River and falling into silence.
Su Wanqing was about to speak when she saw Su Dongsheng shaking his head slightly at him.
"He's thinking about something, don't disturb him yet."
Su Wanqing nodded, but looked at Li Jin with some worry.
She knew that Li Jin was under the greatest pressure in the company.
Tang Shunli, himself, and even his father were accustomed to placing their hopes on Li Jin most of the time, as if as long as Li Jin was around, all problems could be solved.
But as someone close to Li Jin, Su Wanqing knows better than anyone that the price of such ease is that Li Jin spends countless nights pondering and reviewing the overall situation again and again.
No one can succeed casually.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Li Jin suddenly said: "I can't wait any longer."
Father and daughter Su Dongsheng and Su Wanqing looked at each other, both of them confused about what Li Jin meant.
At this time, he had already taken out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Mr. Ma, it's me, Li Jin."
"Mr. Li, we are also waiting for news from you." Ma Taoyun's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What are your thoughts?" Li Jin asked.
Ma Taoyun replied: "I need Mr. Li to give me a credible promise."
"I will make whatever promises I have to make, but I don't have time for you to think about it endlessly. Time waits for no one. Time is very tight for both me and Ahri."
"So I propose to convene a general meeting of shareholders immediately. If Mr. Ma can agree and give me your vote, then I will fully support Ahli's rise. If Mr. Ma does not agree..."
Li Jin didn't say anything else, but both of them knew what was going on.
Ma Taoyun understood that with Li Jin's current position in the domestic Internet industry, both New Wolf and Teng Xun could easily copy the entire Ahri model and then squeeze out Ahri.
The saddest thing is that in the face of this dilemma, the weak Ahri doesn't even have any room to resist.
So this is equivalent to an ultimatum given to him by Li Jin.
Ma Taoyun frowned slightly, but he was not dissatisfied with Li Jin's domineering behavior.
Any businessman cannot do business politely all the time. When it is time to be domineering, he must show his courage.
This point can also be proved from the development trajectory after the rise of Ali in later generations. Ma Taoyun himself was not an easy-to-talk Confucian businessman.
What makes Ma Taoyun feel confused is why Li Jin is so urgent?
Ma Taoyun was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Li, I have also received news about Softwin's case against you. Does this have anything to do with it?"
"Yes." Li Jin said calmly.
We are all smart people. There is no need for Li Jin to deny this matter. This is disrespectful to Ma Taoyun and himself.
It seemed that Li Jin's frankness moved Ma Taoyun, or maybe Ma Taoyun had other ideas. This time, he did not hesitate.
"Okay, let's hold it then."
After hearing these words, Li Jin let out a sigh of relief and his mood became brighter.
He did not hesitate to risk his softness to death for Ah Li, and now the price has been paid. If Ma Taoyun is not forced to express his position, he will run the risk of being beaten.
This is not in line with Li Jin's behavior.
Therefore, Ma Taoyun himself also knew that now that Ruanying and Jin Qing were at bay, he could no longer continue to be the swaying fence-sitter and had to make a choice.
And his final choice was to compromise with Li Jin.
After all, Ahli is in China, and Softwin is an investment bank with a Japanese background. No one in the domestic Internet industry dares to offend Li Jin.
"Two: thirty in the afternoon, Shangri-La Hotel conference hall. I will send someone to book the venue in advance. Mr. Ma, you can just go there then."
"Okay." Ma Taoyun replied.
"But according to the rules, I must notify the people from Soft Win to be present. After all, they are the major shareholders."
"It's natural."
"See you in the afternoon."
After doing all this, Li Jin stood up, stretched, and smiled at Su Dongsheng: "Uncle Su, I'm going to take a rest. I'm exhausted."
Su Dongsheng frowned and said: "I'm afraid there are more than just these methods for soft winning. Why don't we make more preparations?"
Li Jin laughed and said, "I'm afraid they don't have the chance or time."
…
"President, this is Ma Taoyun's phone number." Yano-kun said to Konsai Touji.
Kon Saitoji frowned slightly, "Why is he calling here at this time? Give me your mobile phone."
Taking the phone, Konsaitoji answered the call and said in a deep voice: "I am Konsaitoji."
"Mr. Jinzhai, my name is Ma Taoyun. That's it. We decided to hold a shareholders' meeting immediately in the afternoon to clarify the issue of shareholding within the company."
Listening to the words on the other end of the phone, Konsaitoji narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his tone became louder, "Mr. Ma, the current equity structure of Ali Company is very clear, and there is no need to hold a special meeting."
Shareholders’ meeting, right?”
Ma Taoyun replied: "Mainly because Jinqing Investment Company wants to invest in our Ahli."
"Whether or how much investment to accept, and how to calculate the diluted shares, all need to be clarified by holding a shareholders' meeting, and this is also in line with the company's articles of association."
"But I don't have time now." Konsai Toji said with a frown.
Ma Taoyun smiled and said: "If Mr. Konsai really does not have time, then according to the company's articles of association, we can only deal with Soft Win's equity opinions by giving up voting rights by default in absentia."
Kon Saitoji snorted and said: "Mr. Ma, can I understand that you are already on the same line as Li Jin?"
Ma Taoyun said calmly: "Sorry, Mr. Jinzhai, I am just a businessman, and I have only one wish, and that is to make Ahri stronger and bigger."
"Whoever can help me realize my wish is my friend."
Konsai Toji felt extremely unhappy.
It seems that no matter who or what happens, as long as it has a relationship with Li Jin, it will become difficult.
"Two: thirty in the afternoon, conference hall of Shangri-La Hotel, Asami City."
After Ma Taoyun said the time and place, he hung up the phone.
Yano-kun saw Konsaito Ni's gloomy expression and couldn't help but ask: "President, is there something wrong with Ahri?"
"Ma Taoyun called and asked us to attend the shareholders' meeting in the afternoon." Konsaitoji said in a deep voice.
Yano-kun also frowned and said: "We are holding a shareholders' meeting at this juncture? And the schedule is so tight, something is wrong."
Konsai Toji gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, we must attend this shareholders' meeting. If my prediction is good, Li Jin will definitely show up."
"If we don't go, then the 41% stake held by Softwin will be deemed as abstention by default. At that time, it will be equivalent to us handing over the entire Ahli, and the headquarters will not let us go."
Two o'clock in the afternoon, conference hall of Shangri-La Hotel, Asami City.
There were only three people sitting in the entire huge conference hall.
Ma Taoyun, Cai Chongnian and Li Jin.
"I remember that each of the Eighteen Arhats had their own shares?" Li Jin asked.
Ma Taoyun nodded and replied: "Before the meeting started, they had authorized me to conduct a substitute vote."
"good."
Li Jin nodded, not surprised.
Now the entire Ali shares are mainly divided into two parts.
Part of it is 41% owned by Soft Win, and the remaining 59% is scattered among Ma Taoyun, Eighteen Arhats and Cai Chongnian.
But both Arhat and Cai Chongnian obviously listen to Ma Taoyun's wishes, and Ma Taoyun has absolute say in this team, so the real major shareholder is still Ma Taoyun.
By the time I spoke, the time had already reached half past two.
As if he stepped on it deliberately, at this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Konsai Toji walked into the conference room with Yano-kun expressionlessly.
Konsai Toji and Li Jin looked at each other without saying a word, and the smell of gunpowder was already extremely strong.
