Chapter 193

The annual net profit was always negative.

It required continuous blood transfusions from other companies in the group; otherwise, it wouldn't even survive a single day.

To any discerning eye, this was clearly a worthless subsidiary.

Yet Chen Yangzhe, as Chairman, had kept a firm grip on it, unwilling to let go, and had not even handed over direct, practical control of the company to anyone else.

None of his other children had ever managed to get their hands on even half a share.

No one understood why he did this.

They simply assumed that as he grew older, he had become obsessed with saving face—that he had truly misjudged the situation but was unwilling to admit it, choosing to suffer for the sake of his pride.

This was not just the view of his children.

It was also the opinion of outside media and even his competitors, especially the Chairman of the Yangjituan Society, who had mocked Chen Yangzhe about this matter many times.

And yet, Chen Yangzhe had now transferred all the legal personhood and equity of the company to Chen Daojun.

Even someone as clever as Mao Xianmin did not understand what he meant by doing this.

Chen Daojun, upon hearing this, gave a mysterious smile.

He likewise did not tell Mao Xianmin the secret behind the old man's actions.

This could be considered the biggest secret between him and the old man.

The two of them had a tacit understanding to remain silent on the matter.

He only told Mao Xianmin:

"You can guess. If you guess correctly, I'll give you a big reward. If you can't guess, that's fine too, but then I won't be able to tell you what the actual purpose of Shunyang Semiconductor is."

When Mao Xianmin heard this from Chen Daojun, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you. Everyone in South Korea is bearish on semiconductors, including the President himself. Everyone unanimously agrees that rather than investing huge amounts of capital into self-research,"

"it would be better to just import from the Eagle Nation. Not only is it cheaper, but the demand isn't that high either. Researching it yourself is a project that is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and where the input and output are completely disproportionate."

"This violates the great taboo of entrepreneurs. When faced with a project that cannot produce any profit, one should abandon it without hesitation; don't persist in such meaningless efforts."

Chen Daojun just chuckled.

"My dear sister-in-law, your thoughts represent the thoughts of most people, just like my uncles and aunts. But Shunyang Semiconductor is left for clever people with foresight to handle. You ordinary people are too mediocre; it's normal that you don't understand."

Hearing Chen Daojun tease her by calling her ordinary,

Mao Xianmin was very angry.

So, she kicked off her high heels, bared her small feet, and stretched her long legs directly in front of Chen Daojun.

"Who are you calling ordinary, you stinking man!" ===== CHAPTER 194 =====
