Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Chen Qihang is Chen Qiming's younger brother, and he owns a certain amount of shares in the Universal Group.

But on weekdays, he hardly participates in the specific management of the company, and only receives considerable dividends according to his shares at the end of the year.

Chen Qiming never said much about this arrangement, believing that his brothers each had their own pursuits, and Chen Qihang only needed to be a shareholder and not interfere in the affairs of the group.

However, Chen Qiming vaguely felt that Chen Qihang secretly did not seem to be completely satisfied with his current status.

In fact, Chen Qihang has never concealed the fact that he has different ideas about the company's development direction from his brother, although he has not made it public.

In the past few years, he has developed a close personal relationship with some of the company's senior executives, and even occasionally participated in one or two decision-making meetings of subsidiaries, and as a shareholder, he put forward some suggestions that were slightly inconsistent with the group's policies.

Chen Qiming was not unaware of this, but out of tolerance and trust in his brother, he chose to remain silent.

He believes that these small "actions" will not really threaten the overall pattern of the universe.

However, the brothers occasionally disagree on some key issues concerning the future development direction of the world.

Chen Qiming has been in business for many years and has quite sophisticated management experience and methods. All decisions of the Universal Group have always been led by him. Whenever Chen Qihang puts forward his own opinions, Chen Qiming will listen respectfully, but in the end he will usually maintain his own policies.

As a result, Chen Qihang couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied, feeling that his opinions were always being shelved.

Over time, resentment gradually accumulated in her heart, and she even developed a slight "hostility" towards her brother's "dictatorship".

Some days ago, Chen Qihang met the head of Baiyan Capital at a high-end social event.

They quickly struck up a conversation, with the topic shifting from the turmoil in the global capital markets to a discussion on the future of Oneworld Group.

The other party expressed "disapproval" of the development path of Universe in recent years and revealed reservations about Universe Group's "excessive investment" in the field of science and technology.

The head of Baiyan Capital tactfully pointed out that the cooperation between Universal and Noah is actually not favored by the industry.

If given the opportunity, they are willing to deal with a new person in charge and explore new possibilities for development cooperation to avoid certain unnecessary "conflicts".

These words just hit Chen Qihang's soft spot.

Many of his proposals within the group often coincided with his disagreements with Chen Qiming on investment direction.

Chen Qiming is optimistic about the potential of the technology industry and especially supports the growth of Noah Technology, which is fundamentally different from the philosophy of Baiyan Capital.

So, in a corner of the conference room, White Rock Capital quietly hinted to Chen Qihang: "If you are willing to take a different approach, we don't mind providing assistance in the matters you lead."

These words stirred up waves in Chen Qihang's heart.

In his opinion, his brother's stubbornness caused the Universal Group to frequently encounter international resistance, and its funds and markets were subject to considerable restrictions. On the contrary, if he could lead some decisions or improve policies, Universal might have an easier time in the capital market.

However, due to Chen Qiming's prestige in the group over the years, Chen Qihang knew that it was difficult to change the status quo. He could only occasionally "give advice" at shareholders' meetings, but the real power was almost not in his hands.

However, as Baiyan Capital showed its "goodwill" towards him, Chen Qihang began to waver.

Especially in the international market, Baiyan Capital has a significant influence. They have extensive resources and sufficient capital, and fully recognized Chen Qihang's position.

In subsequent meetings, Baiyan Capital repeatedly mentioned to Chen Qihang that if the technology layout of Universal Group could be re-evaluated, they were willing to provide a series of implicit support to avoid future policy risks.

This support is both financial and relational.

For Chen Qihang, this was undoubtedly a very tempting opportunity.

After careful consideration, Chen Qihang decided to further cooperate with Baiyan Capital.

On the surface, he still maintained harmony with Chen Qiming, but deep in his heart, another plan had quietly formed.

His contacts with Baiyan Capital increased gradually, and he gradually drew up a blueprint that could satisfy his "ambitions".

He hopes that with the support of White Rock Capital, he can gradually guide some of the decisions of the Universal Group in a direction that he prefers.

Although on the surface, the two brothers are still living in peace, in Chen Qihang's eyes, the future of Huanyu could have been less "high-risk" and more "steady development", which would be more suitable for the company model he expected.

Chen Qihang's ideas gradually became clear. He knew that it would be difficult to shake Chen Qiming's position in the world by his own strength, but with Baiyan Capital behind the scenes to fuel the flames, everything would be possible.

The influence of White Rock Capital will be the key to his gaining a foothold.

Once the time is ripe, he can use the capital and resources of Baiyan Capital to gradually establish his own voice in the Universal Group, change some key layouts of the group, and even eventually place his own chess piece in his brother's high position.

In the conference room, the representative of Baiyan Capital observed Chen Qihang with a hidden smile on his face.

They knew that although the man in front of them was the second in command of the universe, he was not willing to stay behind for long.

This meeting will sow the seeds of discord within the Universal Group.

Recently, the atmosphere on the board of directors of Oneworld Group has been somewhat unpleasant.

Ever since Chen Qiming secretly assisted Li Hao in purchasing computing equipment, which triggered an external investigation, considerable disagreements have arisen within the board of directors.

A few days ago, in the conference room, an executive was the first to speak and break the silence.

"Mr. Chen, if this incident had never happened from the beginning, Huanyu would be much more stable. Now, we have to bear the pressure of an investigation for this partnership. Don't you think this price is a bit high?"

Chen Qiming remained calm and said, "I understand your concerns, but international technological competition is becoming increasingly fierce. If Huanyu wants to gain a foothold in the future market, we must plan ahead. Collaborating with Noah will allow us to gain technological advantages, and it will be deeply localized. This will be of substantial benefit to our long-term development."

An older director frowned and said, "Technology is important, but our consistent approach is to proceed cautiously and low-key. Huanyu's development to this day relies on this cautious strategy, not taking risks. Mr. Chen, do we need to further increase our investment in these high-risk technology areas?"

Another executive nodded in agreement and said slowly, "Yes, Mr. Chen. Even if your strategy is correct, we should be more cautious. It's not easy for Huanyu to get to where it is today. Who knows how the trouble we've caused this time will develop in the future?"

Chen Qiming was silent for a moment and looked around at his colleagues at the conference table.

He then responded: "Guys, I understand your concerns. Every important decision brings risks, but also opportunities."

"It is precisely because we dare to take this step that we can seize the initiative in future technological layout. I am very clear that our cooperation with Noah can bring strategic resources."

However, another young director was not convinced.

He interrupted Chen Qiming with a sneer and said, "Mr. Chen, can you guarantee that this cooperation won't cause any more trouble? If our group's international reputation is damaged due to problems with the supply of these equipment, who will be held responsible?"

The atmosphere became solemn for a moment.

Chen Qihang sat aside, appearing calm on the surface, but actually closely observing everyone's reactions.

He cleared his throat gently and said slowly, "Brother, we know you're focused on the company's long-term future. However, sometimes playing it safe is a good strategy. In other words, the core of the group is security, and everyone just wants a guarantee."

This statement caused some executives to nod in agreement. Chen Qiming understood the implication of his brother's words, but did not refute them in person.

He said: "If Huanyu stops at 'safety', it will inevitably be gradually surpassed by more daring competitors in the future. We need to be bold and try things within a reasonable range in order to truly go further."

A director frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, it's not that we don't support your decision, but this kind of 'bold attempt' must be carefully considered. The group has grown through steady operations. If we shake our foundation in order to make a bold move, it will inevitably be more harm than good."

Chen Qiming looked at the directors and executives in front of him with a slightly tired look. He knew that the decision he made would inevitably bring pressure, especially in Huanyu, where the corporate culture was relatively stable.

However, his gaze didn't waver as he spoke firmly, "I will take full responsibility for the outcome of this decision and will make adjustments when appropriate. Believe me, this will be a significant improvement to Huanyu's future development."

However, Chen Qihang, who was standing aside, sneered in his heart.

He knew that although everyone accepted Chen Qiming's explanation on the surface, their inner dissatisfaction and doubts about him had not disappeared, and had even become more obvious as time went by.

After the meeting, Chen Qihang casually grabbed one of the directors and said, "Old Wang, do you think my brother's decision this time is really okay? I'm also a member of the group. Of course, I hope everything goes well, but it seems that everyone is still worried."

The director sighed helplessly, "Qihang, it's not easy for you two brothers. But to be honest, I still think the risk is too great this time."

"Logically, Huanyu has always been known for its stability. Now, over a partnership, it's attracting outside investigations, and even causing fluctuations in the company's reputation. I just hope that Mr. Chen has truly thought this through."

Chen Qihang nodded slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression: "Well, you are right. I will pay attention. Although my brother insists on doing this, if there is really any risk, I will remind him in time."

Seeing this, another director patted Chen Qihang on the shoulder and whispered, "Qihang, the group needs a calm voice right now. Communicate more with President Chen. We all still hope that Huanyu can develop steadily."

Chen Qihang nodded in agreement, but he already had a plan in mind.

He knew that once the internal disagreements among the top management increased, his voice in the group would gradually grow.

What he had to do was to maintain the appearance of brotherhood in front of Chen Qiming, while portraying himself as the rational and "stable" voice among the group's top management.

After returning home, Chen Qihang sat quietly in his study, thinking about the speeches of the executives at today's board meeting.

He knew that Chen Qiming was facing great pressure now, especially when certain decisions were subject to international interference, and support within the group became particularly important.

However, it is this support that is now becoming less solid.

He sneered in his heart, all this was in his plan.

Chen Qiming's "dominance" in the group is constantly weakening, and with this weakening, cracks are gradually appearing in his position within the Universal Group.

In the future, he will intervene at the appropriate time, and perhaps by then there will be more voices among the top management supporting his steady development.

Chen Qihang knew that although he did not control everything in the company at present, if he could seize every opportunity when the senior management was dissatisfied and erode Chen Qiming's authority bit by bit, he would eventually have the opportunity to have a greater say in the group.

And perhaps all of this does not need to be done too obviously. It is enough to just go with the flow and let the doubts of the top management gradually grow.
