Chapter 565
Chen Yang, after obtaining Yexin's signed authorization, directly drove back to Qingshui City.
Selling the remaining thirty percent equity of Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. first requires obtaining the consent of the major shareholder, Qingshui City Investment Bureau.
Moreover, the Qingshui City Investment Bureau has a preemptive right to purchase the equity that Chen Yang holds.
Chen Yang first contacted Yexin, mainly because he considered that the Qingshui City government might refuse to buy his shares due to financial tightness.
And selling directly to the provincial SASAC would also offend Kong Jie and Lin Guoguo at the same time.
After all, if the SASAC becomes the largest shareholder, Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. will likely be forcibly relocated to Xingcheng.
Therefore, finding a capable third party to backstop is the best option.
After returning to Qingshui City, Chen Yang originally wanted to first go to Qinghe Building to see his son, but he didn't expect that the elevator's access card had actually been changed.
Thus, he could only turn around and head to the municipal government to find Lin Guoguo.
Upon hearing that Chen Yang wanted to sell his remaining thirty percent shares, Lin Guoguo did not immediately express a position, saying he needed to hold a meeting to discuss before making a decision.
Thus, Chen Yang opened a room at the Qingshui City Grand Hotel to wait for Lin Guoguo's reply.
He waited until evening, but there was still no news from Lin Guoguo's side; instead, Kong Jie's secretary Zhang Chunhua suddenly came to visit.
"Secretary Zhang, why are you looking for me at this time? Is it a private matter or public business?" Chen Yang handed over Zhang Chunhua's stock account to Lan Qiyun to manage; currently the returns are not bad, and there is hope to purchase a house in full payment after the first phase of the International New City project is completed.
"Chen Yang, I am here at the secretary's instruction." Zhang Chunhua got straight to the point: "He hopes you can give up the idea of selling the shares of Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd."
Chen Yang had made up his mind, and he frankly told Zhang Chunhua: "If the municipal government side is unwilling to accept my shares, then I will have to negotiate with Xinghui Financial Investment Company. To be frank, I have already communicated with Director Ye of Xinghui Financial Investment Company before coming here, and I have obtained her authorization letter approving Xinghui Financial Investment Company's purchase of the shares of Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd."
Zhang Chunhua didn't expect Chen Yang to still have a backup plan, and he sighed: "Chen Yang, are you dead set on leaving Qingshui City?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said: "Secretary Zhang, I just want to spin off Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd.; the other businesses will still be retained."
Upon hearing that Chen Yang did not mean a major retreat, Zhang Chunhua breathed a little easier. He told Chen Yang: "Actually, you don't need to sell your shares. The secretary said that even if you completely fall out with the Lin family, as long as he remains in Qingshui City, no one can move you."
"Secretary Zhang, please convey my thanks to the superior's good intentions. However…" Chen Yang paused, then said: "My matter with the Lin family is, after all, an internal contradiction; I don't want to make things too difficult for him."
Seeing Chen Yang's firm attitude, Zhang Chunhua also didn't want to say more. He shifted the topic: "Chen Yang, may I have the honor to treat you to a meal? I haven't yet thanked you for the stock matter. If I don't treat you this time, it will be hard to invite you again in the future."
At this moment, Chen Yang had no mood to eat; he made an excuse: "Secretary Zhang, I still need to meet my ex-wife later to discuss some trivial matters. As for the meal, whenever you have free time to go to Xingcheng, just give me a call."
Seeing that Chen Yang still had an appointment, Zhang Chunhua did not insist, offered a few words of thanks, and took his leave.
Chen Yang continued to wait for Lin Guoguo's phone call, but even after it got dark, there was still no response.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Wei came by herself. She was wearing a formal outfit, her face a little tired; she must have just returned from Shuangfeng Town.
"Chen Yang, do you really want to draw a clear line with Qingshui City?"
"Don't put it so heavily; I'm just selling Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd., and I still have many businesses here."
Chen Yang actually resented Lin Wei bringing up work as soon as she spoke. Although they had love and a child between them, Lin Wei's focus was always on her work.
Upon hearing that Chen Yang did not intend to sever ties with Qingshui City in one fell swoop, Lin Wei's expression immediately improved considerably. She spoke calmly: "My dad called me, saying the municipal government's finances are tight right now and they temporarily can't buy back your shares. Moreover, Director Yao Xia of Xinghui Financial Investment Company also called me today; she does not approve of purchasing your shares. Why don't you first consider it for a while before making a decision?"
Chen Yang handed Yexin's authorization letter to Lin Wei and said calmly: "The company was founded jointly by me, Yexin, Huang Bai ming, and Zhao Fei yang; Yao Xia is merely an employee, and her opinion cannot represent the views of us major shareholders."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei glanced at Yexin's authorization letter; the brow that had just relaxed instantly furrowed again.
Yexin has a criminal record; letting her become a shareholder might bring better development to Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd., but later wanting to go public would become very troublesome. This is not a result she wishes to see.
"Chen Yang, you could use your financial investment company or trading company to buy these shares; why must you involve Yexin? Don't you know that her current situation would only pose a risk to Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd.'s IPO plan? Or are you trying to get revenge on us this way?"
"If that's what you think, then I have nothing more to say." Chen Yang didn't expect Lin Wei to view him this way; he felt deeply disappointed. For Lin Wei's career, he had invested a great deal of time and money in Qingshui City. In the end, he didn't make any money, and his efforts went unappreciated.
The room fell silent for a while; finally Lin Wei took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere: "Chen Yang, you also know that the city's finances are tight this year. If you really must sell, could you give the city half a year to raise funds?"
"Okay!" Chen Yang's purpose was to spin off Ordinary People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd.; half a year's time, he could still wait.
Seeing Chen Yang agree to her proposal, Lin Wei's mood improved a bit. She glanced at the furnishings of the guest room and said gently: "There's nothing in the hotel; you'd better go home to stay."
"Never mind, I just want to be alone for a while." Although Chen Yang really wanted to go see his son, after weighing it in his heart he still chose to refuse. Because after refusing to remarry Lin Wei, he didn't know how to face Lin Guoguo and Hu Qingwan.
Seeing Chen Yang unwilling to return to the Lin family, Lin Wei directly called the nanny to have Chen Shengli sent to the hotel.
Upon seeing his son, Chen Yang's mood instantly improved.
No matter how many things Lin Wei did that made Chen Yang feel unreasonable, she ultimately still gave birth to a son for Chen Yang. Moreover, to give birth to this child, she endured much hardship.
"Wife, although the possibility of us remarrying is slim, as long as I am alive, I will not let you or the child suffer any hardship."
"No need, you'd better just take care of yourself!" Lin Wei felt happy inside, but she did not show appreciation on her face. After all, Chen Yang's love for her is not wholehearted. Before there was Liu Qingqing, and now there's also Su Mingyue. Perhaps there will be even more women in the future…
