Chapter 95: This Trick is Called ’Pretending to be a Pig to Eat a Tiger’



Chapter 95

Zhou General didn\'t hold back, mainly because the Sheng family wasn\'t involved in the gaming sector, so he had no reason to worry about them harming him.

So he found a notepad and pen in the room and drew a pie chart.

"The company\'s initial registered capital was 3 million yuan, jointly invested by me and a college roommate. He put in 600,000 yuan, accounting for 20% equity. Later, due to family changes, he sold part of it to our company\'s current President Liu."

"At that time, the company was going through a low point, and President Liu was very interested in the game I had. Seeing that he couldn\'t poach me, he eventually invested and bought 12% of the equity from me, becoming the largest shareholder."

"Now he holds a total of 22% of the equity."

"In addition, our company has another major shareholder, President Xiao, who subsequently purchased and owns 17% of the shares."

"Furthermore, my wife and daughter each hold 3% and 1% of the shares, which I gifted to them. I myself hold 47%."

After listening, Sheng Yuxiao said slowly, "Hmm, then the company should be under your absolute control."

After all, as long as his wife and daughter transferred their shares back, he could return to 51% control at any time.

"Young Master Sheng should also be clear that shares don\'t represent everything. The company is ultimately for profit. About seven or eight years ago, the company entered a period of rapid development. But by the year before last, it had already started to show signs of decline."

"That\'s because Mu General from Wanwu Internet entered the scene. They have abundant capital, constantly introduce mature games from abroad, and can simultaneously launch multiple projects, using large amounts of funds to keep trying and failing until they get a hit."

"Who can play without abundant capital?"

Wanwu Internet.

Li Xiaoya quickly remembered, it was the family of that young Master Mu whom she had beaten up last time.

"The gaming market is iterating and updating, but President Liu and President Xiao both insist on sticking to the old ways."

"President Xiao is the type who just complains verbally when he\'s in a negative state. President Liu is different, he\'ll let me do things, but actually waits for me to stumble, so that I\'ll listen to him. Even if I really succeed, it doesn\'t matter, he\'s the major shareholder, he still gets a cut of the money."

Zhou General wasn\'t stupid either, of course he could see through these obvious and subtle tricks.

He rarely showed a bit of dejection in front of these two minors who were much younger than him, saying, "President Liu feels he\'s my benefactor, and has been very dissatisfied with my attitude these years. That incident with my wife was really just an excuse for him to act out in advance."

"In the past two years, he\'s launched many reskinned games for overseas markets, with very good cash flow, which has made employees trust him more. But I always feel like trouble is brewing these two years."

Zhou General paused, then asked, "Does Young Master Sheng usually follow current affairs? ... I do. The overseas market is good, but I always feel that in these two years, they might implement bans on APPs exported from our country, uh, just my humble opinion..."

Sheng Yuxiao nodded, "Mm, you\'re right. His path won\'t last long."

With Sheng Yuxiao saying so, Zhou General felt even more reassured.

"Businessmen who don\'t watch the wind direction are asking for trouble," Sheng Yuxiao said lightly.

Li Xiaoya nodded beside him, hmm, noted.

"So what does Young Master Sheng think, how can we kick him out?" Zhou General asked.

"Introduce a third party."

"You mean... sell some shares and bring in another major shareholder?" Zhou General\'s expression froze slightly.

Was Young Master Sheng interested in his shares?

"What are you thinking? I\'m not interested in your shares. If I bought them, how could I kick out that President Liu? He\'d love to leech off your company for life, taking dividends forever," Sheng Yuxiao scoffed.

Li Xiaoya quickly caught on and chirped, "Sell to me."

Zhou General thought he had misheard, and asked dazedly, "What?"

Sheng Yuxiao smiled and ruffled Li Xiaoya\'s hair, saying, "Great minds think alike, little duck!"

"Yes, sell to her!" Sheng Yuxiao said.

"But it\'s not enough, it\'s best to sell to one more person."

Zhou General\'s head was buzzing, thinking, aren\'t you really here to trick me out of my shares?

But he thought and thought, and didn\'t feel that his company was worth much to Sheng Yuxiao.

"Sell to one more person?"

"Mm, someone who looks non-threatening. When that President Liu sees it, he\'ll think, even such a stubborn person like you has started selling off shares, is there any future left for this company? He\'ll cash out and run, waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."

"What if President Xiao follows suit and sells too? If he buys those shares, he\'ll become the largest shareholder, wouldn\'t that be very awkward?"

"So we also need to buy some from your college roommate and President Xiao."

"What if President Xiao only sells to President Liu?"

"Do I need to teach you everything?"

"...I understand. But this risk is too big, I don\'t know if it\'s worth taking."

"Don\'t you have the answer in your heart? You created this business yourself, it\'s not an inherited company, you want it to go on the right path more than anyone else."

Zhou General was speechless, only managing to squeeze out, "You\'re right."

"Moreover, your company structure itself is too simple, one wants to overpower you, one is conservative, and there\'s no one whose interests align with yours. How can you play this game?"

Sheng Yuxiao shook his head slightly, picked up Li Xiaoya\'s backpack nearby and said, "Let\'s go home, you still have school tomorrow."

Zhou General stood up and said, "For that other person, do you have any recommendations?"

Sheng Yuxiao lowered his head and thought for a moment: "No. The people around me... none of them are suitable."

Zhou General thought about it and realized it was true. Those who associate with Young Master Sheng are all top-tier wealthy family\'s young masters and ladies. If they showed up, President Liu would really want to leech off the company for life.

"I\'ll think about it some more when I get back... I\'ll think about it..."

But Li Xiaoya didn\'t move. She tilted her head and said, "I have someone in mind..."

Zhou General was silent for a moment, then asked, "How old is the person this young lady is recommending?"

Li Xiaoya silently calculated, "Should be in his thirties?"

That sounded more plausible.

He had thought she was going to rally her wealthy peers to buy shares, which would be too, too childish. Imagining the scene at the shareholders\' meeting... Zhou General wanted to cover his face.

"I\'ll make a call," Li Xiaoya took out a small notebook from her backpack, which had several numbers written in it.

She flipped to one of them and dialed: "Second Uncle."

Wei Wenjuan, who hadn\'t been able to see his niece tonight, immediately sat up excitedly: "Little duck? Are you home or still out?"

As he spoke, Wei Wenjuan\'s brows furrowed: "You haven\'t run into any trouble, have you?"

Li Xiaoya asked first: "Uncle, do you have money?"

Wei Wenjuan said, "Of course I do. Do you not have enough to spend? I\'ll have my bodyguard bring my card to you right away."

"No, Uncle, do you have enough money to buy shares in a company?"

"You want to buy a company to play with? Or... is this an assignment from your grandfather? Would 80 million be enough? Actually, we could just buy the whole company outright. Why is Father being so stingy? Why not buy it directly for you?"

Li Xiaoya couldn\'t get a word in, so she just said, "Please come over first."

She thought, in front of Grandfather, Second Uncle always seems to be under a lot of pressure. What if he wasn\'t in Grandfather\'s company? Would things get better?

According to Wei Wenjuan\'s previous personality and habits, he would never go out.

But little duck was looking for him...

And it sounded like she had only called him.

"Prepare the car, I\'m going out for a while."

When the servants heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

Huh? Not only has the Second Young Master started to enjoy going out, he even wants to go out late at night!

About half an hour later.

Wei Wenjuan also arrived at the restaurant.

As the door opened.

Wei Wenjuan didn\'t expect there to be other people inside. His instinct was to leave. But thinking of Li Xiaoya, he forcibly held back, and even put on a cold face, trying to show some strength for Li Xiaoya.

Zhou General looked left at Li Xiaoya, then right at Wei Wenjuan.

A little kid, and um... a person with mobility difficulties.

Selling shares to them really does make it look like my company is about to go bankrupt.

Sheng Yuxiao was also surprised.

It really is suitable... because someone at President Liu\'s level wouldn\'t possibly know who Wei Wenjuan is.

"This move is called \'playing dumb to catch the pig\'. Kick out President Liu, then get the game license, make money yourself, don\'t share with enemies."
