Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai hurried back to the company and arrived at the conference room.

He saw that many executives had already gathered there.

Huo Guoqiang, Wu Moli, Huo Zhi Hui, and the others had all arrived as well.

Wang Erhai quickly took his seat:

"General Manager Huo, what happened?"

Huo Guoqiang's expression was heavy:

"Zhang Tianhe pulled the chair out from under us."

"Pulled the chair?" Wang Erhai's face showed puzzlement.

Huo Guoqiang explained:

"Didn't we reach a cooperation agreement with Tianhe Real Estate? But at the very last step of formal signing, Zhang Tianhe put forward an extremely excessive demand!"

Previously, all discussions with Zhang Tianhe were oral agreements, but according to business rules, an oral agreement basically means the cooperation is reached; only some supplementary details are needed before the formal cooperation agreement can be signed!

But this time Zhang Tianhe was very unscrupulous; seeing that the formal agreement was to be signed tomorrow, he suddenly called Huo Guoqiang today and raised a demand that had never been mentioned before!

"General Manager Huo, what demand did Zhang Tianhe raise?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly asked.

Huo Guoqiang looked at Wang Erhai, his gaze somewhat complex; he hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Zhang Tianhe said he wants to purchase 10% of Liguo Mountain's shares; as for the price, he can offer 10% above the market evaluation price. Additionally, he wants part of the decision-making power of Liguo Mountain's Market Department. Furthermore, regarding Tianhe Real Estate's renovation matters, he must hold the decision-making authority."

"This..." Wang Erhai was immediately stunned, dumbfounded.

An ominous premonition instantly surged in his heart!

Because he is currently mainly in charge of the Market Department.

Although Zhang Tianhe didn't ask for all the decision-making power of the Market Department, only part of it.

But once such an opening is made, what follows is hard to say.

After all, what constitutes full decision-making power and what constitutes partial decision-making power is very difficult to define when implemented.

With Zhang Tianhe's influence, once he inserts his hand into Liguo Mountain's Market Department, sidelining Wang Erhai would be as easy as flipping a hand.

Huo Guoqiang sighed at this point:

"President Wang, this matter is difficult, which is why I called this emergency meeting to let everyone discuss countermeasures together!"

Having said this, Huo Guoqiang looked up and scanned everyone:

"Everyone speak up — can we agree to Zhang Tianhe's demand?"

Huo Zhi Hui was the first to express his stance:

"In my opinion, it's completely acceptable. They're cooperating with us, so they naturally need benefits. Equity is no problem as long as they pay enough. As for the Market Department's decision-making power, honestly, we also need Zhang Tianhe's input because we don't understand the city market; with Zhang Tianhe participating in decisions, we might achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

The crowd of executives all nodded in agreement.

Although Huo Zhi Hui has always given people a rather unreliable impression.

But this time his analysis was quite reasonable.

The main point is that Tianhe Real Estate is a crucial opening for Liguo Mountain to enter the city decoration market; if Liguo Mountain wants to smoothly open the city decoration market, it must make concessions to Zhang Tianhe.

And Zhang Tianhe's equity participation happens to bind Tianhe Real Estate and Liguo Mountain Renovation Company into a community of shared interests!

This is undoubtedly favorable for the company's development!

Wu Moli frowned slightly.

Because she also saw that with this move by Zhang Tianhe, Wang Erhai's decision-making authority would be greatly weakened, and the weakening of Wang Erhai's authority would pull the whole body, dragging her, Wu Moli, into a passive position as well.

So without waiting for Wang Erhai to speak, she directly spoke up:

"I oppose Zhang Tianhe buying shares in our Liguo Mountain!"

As soon as Wu Moli said this, everyone looked at her with astonished eyes.

Even Wang Erhai was very surprised.

"President Wu, tell us your view!" Huo Guoqiang suppressed his inner surprise and asked calmly.

That's just how he is — he doesn't easily show joy or anger on his face.

Wu Moli said:

"Zhang Tianhe says he wants part of the Market Department's decision-making power; I estimate that's just empty talk. In my view, he wants to lead our Liguo Mountain's market development strategy. If we really open such an opening for him, Liguo Mountain will very likely end up as a chess piece of Tianhe Real Estate, or even a subsidiary..."

Speaking here, Wu Moli looked at Huo Guoqiang:

"General Manager Huo, you painstakingly built Liguo Mountain to its current scale — are you going to let Zhang Tianhe reap the fruit?"

Huo Guoqiang's brows twitched slightly.

He had to admit, Wu Moli's words also had some merit.

Indeed, a real estate merchant like Zhang Tianhe is most insatiably greedy; what he can swallow in one mouthful, he absolutely won't share a bit with others. If we really open such an opening for him and let him slowly infiltrate Liguo Mountain's interior, then at that time, it might not be just Wang Erhai who gets sidelined — even he, Huo Guoqiang, could be!

But!

He also had to admit!

Liguo Mountain's development in the county town has already peaked!

To go a step further, it must develop in the city!

And to develop in the city, he has approached many real estate merchants, and the majority are unwilling to cooperate with him!

Because renovation was a big piece of fatty meat, people would either have their own relatives do it, or have the leader's relatives do it—how could it ever fall to someone like him, who had no connection at all, to get a slice?

What's more, his Li Guoshan Decoration Company had little influence in the industry!

That made it even harder to persuade others to give him a share!

"General Manager Wang, tell us what you think."

Huo Guoqiang did not rush to state his position, but looked at Wang Erhai and asked for Wang Erhai's opinion first.

When Huo Zhi Hui and Wu Moli gave their opinions, Wang Erhai thought of many things in his mind.

Just now he was full of surprise, but now he was much calmer.

Because ever since the company established the Song and Dance Troupe and Public Relations Department, he felt the company had changed its flavor.

Wasn't the situation before him a great opportunity to withdraw from the decision-making layer?

As long as his share dividend rights weren't harmed!

So Wang Erhai said:

"I think it's quite normal for Zhang Tianhe to want decision-making authority, after all no one is willing to let a renovation company they can't control renovate their own 'home,' so I don't oppose him entering our Li Guoshan Mountain's Market Department, but if he wants equity, I'm afraid only General Manager Huo and General Manager Wu on your side can provide it; my side won't sell."

Wang Erhai directly made his attitude clear.

Wu Moli also followed by stating her attitude:

"My shares won't be transferred either!"

Seeing Wang Erhai and Wu Moli state their positions like this, Huo Guoqiang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If he himself transferred 10% of the shares, wouldn't his decision-making authority be greatly weakened?

Wang Erhai knew Huo Guoqiang's worry, so he gave a suggestion:

"General Manager Huo, we can redesign the equity structure, learn from Alibaba's AB Share Structure; that way, no matter how much General Manager Huo's shares drop, the company's decision-making power will still be controlled in your hands."

Wang Erhai's attitude was very clear; he could do without the so-called decision-making power, but if they wanted him to cut flesh, that was definitely not okay!

No matter how you mess around, I'm keeping my shares anyway; now that it's in the rising phase, don't even dream of me selling my shares! Not even with a 10% premium!
