Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chen Ruhai truly lived up to his reputation as a wise and experienced man.

The question, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?" seems to convey a great deal of sincerity.

In reality, there hasn't been much substantial progress, but there's still room for maneuver.

The listing of the Liu Group was a legal and compliant matter, a foregone conclusion.

If it weren't for Chen Li's interference, the Liu Group would have successfully gone public long ago.

Now, after what Old Master Chen said, it seems as if the listing of Liu's Group was due to a favor done by the Chen family.

Regarding the issue of Hongda International Trading Company supplying goods to Liu Group's supermarkets.

Everything was going smoothly until Chen Li interfered, which led to the supply disruption.

Currently, only supply has been restored, and although there are some discounts, they are negligible.

Moreover, with Shen Yue's secret help, the Liu Group might not even need Hongda International Trade for supplies anymore.

In other words, Mr. Chen said a lot, but it was as if he didn't say anything at all.

This is the skill of speaking, the art of language.

However, Meng Chuan wasn't buying it.

If there's no sincerity, then there's no point in talking.

"Old Master Chen, I personally believe that there are priorities. The future heir of the Chen family is crucial to the future of the Chen family, and this is of utmost importance."

Meng Chuan looked calmly at Old Master Chen, slowly stood up, his gaze firm and sharp:

"I see that although your descendants have knelt down, they clearly have no intention of repenting. You should go back and properly educate your descendants! Teacher Liu and I are outsiders, so we will not interfere in the internal affairs of your Chen family. Farewell."

Old Master Chen remained as steady as a rock; if he wanted to play games, Meng Chuan would never go along with him.

Meng Chuan didn't want to play too many tricks.

Since they couldn't break the peaceful negotiation atmosphere that Old Master Chen had deliberately created.

Then Meng Chuan took drastic measures, directly overturning the table.

As expected, when he saw Meng Chuan stand up to leave, Old Master Chen's eyes were filled with panic and anxiety.

His hands trembled slightly as he instinctively stood up and grabbed Meng Chuan.

He was really flustered because Meng Chuan was not playing by the rules!

Negotiation is like a business transaction: ask for the moon, then negotiate the price.

Why don't you try to bargain?

This sudden departure, this "not going to talk anymore," what kind of situation is this?

Was it that they never intended to negotiate, or that the price offered did not meet Meng Chuan's expectations?

For a moment, even Old Master Chen was unsure.

"and many more."

Old Master Chen laboriously pressed Meng Chuan back into the chair, his voice tinged with pleading:

"Brother Meng, how about this! I'm begging you, please spare my Chen family, and I promise that the Chen family will not be your enemy in the future."

At this moment, Old Master Chen no longer cared about the rhetoric he had honed over most of his life.

Get straight to the point.

“Old Master Chen, you’re wrong. It was Jiang Chun who attacked your Chen family; it has nothing to do with me.”

Meng Chuan sneered, a hint of disdain in his eyes:

"Besides, it's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that I can no longer trust the credibility of either the Chen family or the Shen family."

Chen Zhennan, the eldest grandson of the Chen family, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, couldn't help but speak up:

"Meng Chuan, don't go too far. My grandfather always keeps his word and has never broken his promise to anyone!"

Meng Chuan glanced at Chen Zhennan, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said:

"Heh, someone said something similar to me not long ago. But while Ah Mao isn't my enemy, Ah Gou is always scheming against me. Who can guarantee that after Old Master Chen says those words today, another Madam Chen or Young Master Chen won't jump out and plot against me?"

Meng Chuan's words made Shen An, who was sitting to the side, feel ashamed.

His head drooped unconsciously, his face flushing red and then turning pale.

Meng Chuan never mentioned him in his speech, but every sentence he spoke was about him.

Chen Li, kneeling on the ground, clenched her teeth even more.

To think that she, the daughter of the Chen family and the Madam Shen of the Shen family, is now being called a nobody.

What's even more frustrating is that she doesn't dare to speak.

Chen Zhennan wanted to say something, but Old Master Chen quickly stopped him and spoke first to Meng Chuan:

“Brother Meng, if you’re worried that my Chen family will still target the Liu Group, then I’ll make the decision to transfer 20% of the original shares of my Chen family in Hongda International Trade to you.”

In his desperation, Old Master Chen directly revealed his bottom line.

With 20% of the original shares, they practically control most of the discourse and decision-making power in Hongda International.

Hongda International is the largest agency company in China, but it is not publicly listed.

With these original shares, Meng Chuan would be the second largest shareholder.

Therefore, it is impossible for Hongda International to cut off supplies to the Liu Group.

It's not impossible that Meng Chuan could even cut off supplies to the Chen family's supermarkets.

After all, the Chen family's main businesses are catering and retail.

"Dad, you can't!"

Chen Li finally couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly spoke up to stop her:

“Hongda International is one of the largest suppliers in China, and 20% of its original shares are worth about 3 billion yuan. How can we just give it away so easily?”

Chen Li was, after all, from the Chen family.

She knew how important those 20% of the original shares were to the Chen family.

It was precisely because of those 20% original shares that the Chen family was able to receive priority in supplying goods.

They even hold a monopoly on certain products.

This is how the Chen family was able to rise so quickly and become a leading enterprise in Shanghai.

“Yes, Grandpa! Without those 20% original shares, my... my Chen family would be at the mercy of others.”

Chen Zhennan also looked anxious, with veins bulging on his forehead.

Now, Chen Zhendong, the younger brother, has almost lost his chance to compete for the future succession of the Chen family.

Therefore, he naturally became the sole heir.

He couldn't help but worry about the future of the Chen family.

Although those 20% of the original shares were only worth 3 billion.

Even if they were offered 5 billion, the Chen family would absolutely not be willing to give it up.

But now that Grandpa has just handed it over to someone else, how can he not be anxious?

"Shut up."

Old Master Chen roared, his voice echoing in the private room, carrying an undeniable authority:

"The old saying goes, 'Be mindful of danger in times of peace.' You people are too complacent and have long forgotten to be mindful of danger. I want you to always remember to be mindful of danger so that you can better learn from your mistakes and live a humble life."

As he spoke, Old Master Chen looked at Meng Chuan, his face changing to a kind expression, his eyes carrying a hint of ingratiation:

"Moreover, I believe that, given Brother Meng's character, he would not do anything to maliciously hinder my Chen family."

Old Master Chen's last sentence was clearly meant for Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan's lips curled up slightly.

This is a golden opportunity to make the Chen family pay the price while securing more benefits for the Liu Group.

So he took a deep breath and slowly began to speak:

"Old Master Chen truly lives up to his reputation as the pillar of the Chen family. His vision is far beyond my reach."

“I can try to talk to Chairman Liu. With Old Master Chen around, the Chen family shouldn’t do anything like colluding with Jiang Chun to maliciously appeal and prevent the Liu Group from going public.”

Meng Chuan flattered him, as if he had said nothing, yet as if he had said everything.

Because he had to be careful, he couldn't leave power in the hands of the Chen family.

Upon hearing Meng Chuan's words, a look of relief finally appeared on Old Master Chen's face.

But the next moment, Meng Chuan changed the subject, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, and said calmly:

"However, Shen Chong's matter is an indelible fact, and I hope that Old Master Chen will not interfere. Since he broke the law, he should be sentenced accordingly!"

Chen Li, who had been looking anxious, suddenly turned pale.

"no, do not want……"
