Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 161 - 134: Competing to Win Over Yang Chen

The usually assertive Zhang Xiaoli was now as demure as a little girl. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The always a force to be reckoned with, Zhang Xiang, who once dared to send the opposing lawyer to jail, sat motionless like a fresh graduate.

Qiu Yuhong, who was already impressed by Yang Chen, was now filled with awe towards him.

Chen Qingxia, the little fan girl, couldn’t hide the love in her eyes.

"Come on, everyone, have some tea," Yang Chen cheerfully invited.

Everyone quickly picked up their cups, only to realize even the tiny teacup was a damn Doucai Chicken Cup.

Bro, using antiques as tea sets, isn’t that a bit too extravagant?

Some people would definitely say you need a Yixing teapot for brewing tea, but come on, in front of a Doucai Chicken Cup, all those are second-rate. Even the ancient Emperor used this!

Zhang Xiang took just one sip before hastily putting the cup down, then reminded everyone, "This thing costs a few million each, so let’s be careful."

Zhang Xiaoli: "Ah! It’s so expensive!"

Chen Qingxia: "Oh my God, I just took a sip, isn’t just the wear and tear cost a few tens of thousands?"

...

A few of them quickly put their cups down.

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, "It’s not that expensive. They’re not antiques, just replicas of the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups. They cost a few thousand each, not as pricey as a few million; that’s the price for antiques."

Chen Qingxia: "A few thousand each is still expensive! I can’t bear to use such things for tea."

Qiu Yuhong: "Haha... If I’m not mistaken, the tables and chairs here are made of golden nanmu, something money can’t buy. Officer Chen, if you put it like that, just sitting here might cost us tens of thousands in wear and tear."

Chen Qingxia was shocked, hurriedly stood up, and said, "I know golden nanmu is very expensive. We acquired a farmer’s golden nanmu just a few years ago, worth several billion. Oh my God, this is too expensive, I don’t dare to sit anymore."

Yang Chen: "Hahaha... Don’t be like that, I brought you here to express my gratitude, not to show off. You’re making me feel so awkward that I won’t dare to bring friends over again."

Everyone laughed heartily, finally relaxing a bit.

After some light-hearted conversation, everyone was quite happy.

Yang Chen didn’t want to waste everyone’s time; expressing his gratitude was enough.

Yang Chen and Yu Shishi saw the guests off, watching them walk down the small bridge before they returned.

...

Meanwhile, the US Headquarters office of Longmei International Pharmaceutical Group located in New City sent a notification to the shareholders of the United States Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing Association stating that Mr. Yang Chen from Dragon Country had acquired several shareholders’ shares and also some shares from individual investors, currently holding 20% of the group’s shares, making him the third-largest shareholder.

At the same time, the Dragon Country Headquarters office of Longmei International Pharmaceutical Group located in Dragon Country Sea City sent a notification to the shareholders of Dragon Country Pharmaceutical Association stating that Mr. Yang Chen from Dragon Country had acquired 20% of the group’s shares, becoming the group’s third-largest shareholder.

Although the news was the same, the impact on these two groups of shareholders was vastly different, even their feelings were polar opposites.

Thomas Robinson, the head of the US Headquarters, frowned at the report brought by his secretary, deeply in thought.

A Dragon Country person suddenly acquiring so many shares, what’s his goal?

"Someone, get me in touch with Yang Chen, I want to have a talk with him," Thomas Robinson said.

...

Zhang Senmiao, the head of Dragon Country Headquarters, laughed happily. A Dragon Country person acquiring 20% of the shares, doesn’t that mean Dragon Country will have more say in future shareholders’ meetings?

As someone from Dragon Country, Yang Chen is definitely going to support the Dragon Country Pharmaceutical Association, right?

"Someone, get in touch with Yang Chen, I want to pay him a visit," Zhang Senmiao instructed.

...

Both of them had a common goal, which was to win over Yang Chen to their side.

The current situation was pretty clear—whomever Yang Chen supports, their proposals would pass.

If Yang Chen opposed someone, their proposals would be rejected.

How to proceed, isn’t it clear in their hearts?

This was the earlier mentioned benefit that came with Yang Chen owning 20% of the shares—not just a value of over a billion US dollars, but also more intangible advantages.

After all, to win him over, you can’t just offer nothing, right?
