Meeting Lin Fan's meaningful gaze, Vice President Wang was caught in a deep dilemma.

Just as Lin Fan had guessed, he was not an ungrateful person; on the contrary, he was very loyal and devoted to his friends.

It was precisely because of his friendship with Liu Ming that he took the initiative to make concessions after they started the company together, so as not to put Liu Ming in a difficult position.

But now, faced with this crucial decision, he genuinely didn't know what to do.

Do you have the ability to kick Liu Ming out of the company?

Vice President Wang was confident that he definitely had some. Not to mention, his own nearly 20% stake was already equivalent to half of Liu Ming's.

If the shares held by the individual shareholders in the company are combined, a board meeting can be held to legally remove Liu Ming from the company without spending too much money.

Since the company is now just an empty shell, even if Liu Ming is given his share of the profits, it won't amount to much money.

Therefore, this matter is not impossible for Vice President Wang to accomplish, especially given his prestige within the company over the years and the special nature of this matter.

As Lin Fan said, if he hadn't intervened, the entire Liu family might have ceased to exist, and the interests of everyone associated with the Liu family would have been affected.

If sacrificing just Liu Ming could protect the interests of so many people, the company's shareholders would probably be happy to do so. That's just human nature.

“Vice President Wang, I’m only giving you half an hour to consider. I hope you can give me an answer after half an hour. If I don’t receive an answer after half an hour, then I will assume that you have given up this opportunity, and the contract that I previously agreed to with Liu Ming will no longer exist.”

In other words, you Liu family members are left to fend for yourselves.

This was the unspoken rule in Lin Fan's words, which Vice President Wang naturally understood.

He kept his head down, his brows furrowed, his eyes unfocused, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

This request had clearly put him under considerable pressure.

After all, he and Liu Ming have been friends for so many years. To sacrifice Liu Ming to protect everyone's interests is, frankly, a bit unfair.

Moreover, if he really did that, even though he knew in his heart that he was doing it for the greater good, in the eyes of outsiders he would likely be seen as taking advantage of the situation, which would negatively impact his image and reputation.

But there was no other way. Since he had become the vice president, he had to be responsible for the entire company. How many people in the company were relying on this job?

As Lin Fan said, whether to sacrifice the majority for one person or sacrifice one person for the majority is never a choice; he had no choice.

So without much hesitation, he stood up, sighed deeply, looked at Lin Fan, and said helplessly, "Mr. Lin, is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Of course not. If I had, I wouldn't have come to find you. You should know what it means that I came to find you in person and didn't avoid those people outside."

That's right, if the clerks in the companies outside see this scene, this matter will definitely reach Liu Ming's ears.

In other words, there can only be two outcomes: either Lin Fan and Vice President Wang reach a cooperation agreement, or there is no possibility of further cooperation between Lin Fan and the Liu family. There is absolutely no third possibility.

"Ok."

Vice President Wang took a deep breath, then looked at Lin Fan and said in a deep voice, "I can agree to your conditions, but I hope you won't go back on your word."

“We have quite a lot of stock left over this time. Even if we sell it to you at 80% of the price, it will still be a considerable sum. I just don’t know if Mr. Lin can afford such a sum.”

Lin Fan smiled confidently and said with a touch of arrogance, "If we're talking about who else in the entire Liangshan County besides me is most likely to come up with this money, the answer is probably no one, right?"

To reiterate, stability is crucial for companies of their scale; they all have stable partners and a reliable cash flow.

There is no one who can come up with such a large sum of money to support them. They all have fixed partners. Who would suddenly abandon their original partners to cooperate with the Liu family and digest what the Liu family has done this time?

"Alright, then I'll trust Mr. Lin this once. I'm sure Mr. Lin wouldn't joke about something like this. I agree to this request. Please go back and make some preparations."

As Lin Fan expected, Vice President Wang ultimately agreed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, Vice President Wang, believe me, you made the right choice."

"Then I'll head back now. I'll wait for your good news. Once you've met my conditions, our cooperation will officially begin!"

Vice President Wang nodded deeply.

Without further interaction, Lin Fan exchanged a brief greeting and left.

Lin Fan has perfectly achieved his goal on this trip.

He naturally couldn't let a petty person like Liu Ming live; to kill a snake and suffer the consequences would be worse than to kill it. He wasn't that magnanimous.

He was betrayed by two people when he was in his most difficult and dangerous situation, and now they are begging to cooperate with him. People are indeed driven by self-interest, but why wouldn't he do this if he could both protect his interests and annoy Liu Ming?

He's no saint; given the chance, he'd naturally want to get back at those who had disgusted him in the past, so that he wouldn't let down the business he built up.

Otherwise, why make so much money and put on such a big show? It's all so that you won't be controlled by others in the future and can take control of your own life.

After settling things off with Vice President Wang, Lin Fan went to the store and the factory.

He took a walk around the factory. During this period, the factory employees had been working non-stop without even a moment's rest.

Lin Fan found his brother-in-law Zhang Weihao and asked, "Brother-in-law, how's the factory doing lately? Has anything gone wrong?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Fan, the factory is very stable. With your older brothers around, no one will come to cause trouble. Everyone's work enthusiasm is very high. It's just that it's been a bit tough lately. Even though we can't increase the number of employees in the factory, I still hope you can find other ways to reduce their workload."

Seeing Lin Fan's reluctance, Zhang Weihao spoke up, having witnessed everything inside the factory firsthand.
