Chapter 258

Having managed Sunyang Group for decades, Chen Yangzhe's prestige was unmatched by anyone else.

Even if Chen Daojun had forced these shareholders to submit by holding their dirty secrets,

that was, after all, only outward submission, not inward.

They weren't afraid of Chen Daojun; they were afraid of going to prison.

But Chen Chen Yangzhe was different; he had subdued these people with his personal charisma and iron-fisted methods.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Chen Yangzhe walked like a returning emperor. Although his pace was slow,

he walked through the crowd with unusual firmness, walked up to Chen Daojun, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

A trace of gratification appeared in his eyes.

Just now, Chen Daojun had displayed his might, scaring these directors and shareholders until they were trembling all over.

He had even seen the pathetic way these shareholders had pledged their loyalty through the surveillance cameras.

It truly had the style he possessed in his younger days!

No, it should be said that he was even more ruthless and had even tougher methods than he did back then!

Even Chen Chen Yangzhe didn't possess the evidence of the shareholders' crimes that Chen Daojun held in his hands.

Although he also knew that these old brothers who had built the empire with him had degenerated after becoming veteran shareholders of the company.

They no longer possessed the ambition and the philosophy of working diligently for the company they once had.

Once a company grows large, corruption is inevitable. It wasn't that he didn't know, but that he had deliberately let them off.

There is an old Chinese saying: "When the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked."

They had followed him to build the empire; if they had no merit, they had at least put in the hard labor. Chen Chen Yangzhe didn't want to take things too far, so he turned a blind eye.

Everyone knew it in their hearts, but they didn't bring it out into the open.

And these shareholders probably knew it too, so they had always kept it unspoken, and on matters of great principle, they were definitely standing with Chen Chen Yangzhe.

After Chen Chen Yangzhe patted Chen Daojun on the shoulder,

he turned around, took Chen Daojun's hand, and said to everyone,

"My old friends, Daojun is the descendant I am most satisfied with, and he is also the one most like me."

"Handing this chairman position to him is a decision I made after long and careful consideration."

"I believe that only he is the most suitable candidate among my successors."

"As the group chairman, I hold 35% of the shares, and I will take half of these shares and hand them over to him."

"And whether you are willing to support him with me to become the second-generation chairman of Sunyang Group—if you are willing, then raise your hands."

Hearing these words from Chen Chen Yangzhe, all the shareholders present raised their hands without hesitation.

The shares they held added up to over 60%.

Compared to the 30% of shares held by the three siblings, it was definitely an overwhelming advantage.

And Chen Chen Yongji and the others were almost angered to death when they heard their father supporting Chen Daojun so firmly, without even discussing it with them once.

Chen Chen Yongji's eyes filled with tears, and he endured his grief and anger as he said to his old father, "Father, do you really not care about us at all?"

"We are your children!"

"Why aren't you willing to give us three siblings a chance? I swear we will manage the company well! We won't make you lose face!"

"Even if you aren't willing, for the sake of the half-lifetime I've spent working diligently for the company, and for the sake of your eldest grandson who has already become a cripple, give me this chance!"

"That's right, Father, you can't be so biased."

"Dad, you've changed. You weren't like this before. Why are you treating us three siblings like this? What have we done wrong? Mom was also driven away by you. Do you really want to be so heartless?"

The three Chen siblings.

Their faces were full of grief and despair.

Who knew that Chen Chen Yangzhe would only say to the three of them expressionlessly,

"No one can change the decision I have made. As for you three siblings, I have already been benevolent and righteous enough toward you. You do not have the ability to inherit Sunyang Group."

"But I haven't treated you poorly either. Just based on the shares you hold, your descendants will never be able to spend it all. Don't live life so exhaustingly; just enjoy the money."

"If I hand the company to you, I'm afraid it will become a humble family within three generations. People are valuable for having self-knowledge. If you continue to nag, I will take back the shares you hold."

Hearing these words from Chen Chen Yangzhe, the three siblings immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.

They could only stare at Chen Daojun with incredibly ugly gazes.

As if he were their enemy who had killed their father and mother.

And what followed was simple.

Chen Daojun had the shares of Sunyang Group in his hands, the backing of the old chairman himself, and the support of numerous shareholders.

Everything went very smoothly.

Under the witness of the lawyers cultivated by the group, Chen Daojun signed the share transfer contract.

As well as the appointment letter for the group chairman.

From today on, Chen Daojun was the second-generation chairman of Sunyang Group.

And this news would be announced throughout the entire Sunyang Group, and even the entire South Korea!

An announcement would be issued.

And a press conference would be held.

To pave the way for Chen Daojun, Chen Chen Yangzhe could be said to have handled everything personally, even taking him to the scene of the press conference.

And the reporters who had received the news early. All of them rushed over.

Ranked at the very front were the reporters from Mo Hyun-min's family.

They asked Chen Chen Yangzhe questions one after another.

"Old Chairman Chen, I heard that you just announced today that you are handing over the chairman position to your youngest grandson, Chen Daojun. Is this true?"

"Chairman Chen, for what reason did you suddenly announce the successor? Is it because there is a problem with your health? Or are you preparing to retire early to enjoy your later years?"

"Chairman Chen, we are very curious why you didn't choose your second-generation children as the group successors. Is it because they aren't outstanding enough, or is there some other hidden story?"

"Chairman Chen, can you tell us what talents your youngest grandson, Mr. Chen Daojun, has that make you support him so strongly? Has he done any outstanding deeds, or has he created great wealth for the group?"

"Old Mr. Chen, may I ask if your youngest grandson, Chen Daojun, is already married?"

These reporters asked all kinds of tricky questions.

And Chen Chen Yangzhe and Chen Daojun sat there with calm expressions, facing the questions from the numerous reporters.

Chen Chen Yangzhe said unhurriedly,

"Reporter friends, citizens, today I will officially announce that we have determined the candidate for the second chairman of Sunyang Group, and that is my youngest grandson, Chen Daojun."

"Daojun is the most like me when I was young, very talented, and I am particularly satisfied."

"In addition, not long ago, my health did indeed have some problems, but under the doctor's treatment, I recovered quickly. However, thinking that I am indeed old, continuing to manage the company like this makes me feel a bit powerless."

"So I want to take advantage of the time when my mind is still flexible and clear to determine the successor. In addition, the reason why I didn't determine the second-generation children as successors is because they lack the vitality of young people and their thinking has become rigid."

"They only have the talent to guard the status quo, not the best candidates to open up new businesses and new directions for the group and lead the group to continue to flourish."

"And my youngest grandson, Daojun, is different."

"At the age of eighteen, he relied on his own ability to create Miracle Investment Company, invested in the internet company stocks of the Eagle Nation overseas, and made a crazy profit of 10 billion US dollars!"

"I didn't achieve his accomplishments at his age back then. It can be said that he is the most outstanding among my many children!"
