Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Anyone else who wants to sell, step forward and let me see."

After rebuking the middle-aged shareholder, Meng Chuan's eyes shone brightly.

The aura emanating from him grew increasingly powerful.

As Meng Chuan continued to ask loudly, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire conference room.

"And me too, you better not get in our way of making money!"

The old shareholder with gray hair stiffened his neck.

His face wore an air of self-righteous arrogance.

In his mind, Meng Chuan was nothing more than a greenhorn who was new to the world and didn't know his place.

These are seasoned veterans who have been navigating the business world for decades.

How could I possibly be intimidated by a young man?

"What are your sources of income? What percentage of your shares do you own?"

Meng Chuan pointed at the old man, his eyes full of disdain.

"5 percent... five percent".

The old man's voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

But I still gritted my teeth and told the truth.

Meng Chuan slammed his hand heavily on the conference table with a loud "bang".

It was even louder than when Feng Chenchen slammed her hand on the table, startling everyone.

"Then who gave you the audacity to question the decisions of a shareholder with 20% ownership? Step aside! This is none of your business!"

Meng Chuan's voice was like thunder, booming in everyone's ears.

"You...you brat, you have no manners!"

The old man was so angry that he trembled all over.

His thin, bony fingers trembled as he pointed at Meng Chuan, his expression contorted.

He had lived most of his life and had never been scolded so mercilessly.

Meng Chuan's attitude made him feel that his dignity had been trampled underfoot.

"Old man, this is a company, a shopping mall. If you want to talk about manners, go home and talk to your grandson. If you think being old makes you right, then what's the point of having laws?"

Meng Chuan showed no weakness, his voice icy and chilling.

The old man was speechless with shock.

However, Meng Chuan's tough stance not only failed to deter the shareholders, but instead thoroughly provoked their anger.

In an instant, all the shareholders were like a powder keg that had been ignited.

Almost everyone stood up, shouting all at once that they wanted to sell their shares, and the meeting room instantly descended into chaos.

"Mr. Ye, what about you?"

Meng Chuan frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes, too lazy to pay any more attention to those noisy shareholders.

These people are a group of short-sighted individuals who only know how to pursue immediate interests and disregard the company's long-term development.

With Meng Chuan's question, everyone's attention turned to President Ye.

At this moment, the combined shareholding of all shareholders has reached 49%.

The 20% that Meng Chuan had seemed rather meager under these circumstances.

If President Ye also chooses to sell, then no matter how much Meng Chuan opposes it, it will be to no avail.

"I……"

President Ye slowly stood up, his face showing an extremely conflicted expression.

He founded Grand International.

From an unknown small company, it has gone through countless hardships and obstacles to grow to its current size.

It's like a child he raised himself.

Now, he has to personally "send the child away".

His heart was breaking; how could he bear to do it?

"Mr. Ye, he's just a child and doesn't understand things, don't you understand?"

"Yes! You have 31% in your hands, and if you sell it, you can get 62 billion. But if it becomes stuck in your hands in the future, you'll have nothing left."

"Making money in the real economy is getting harder and harder these days, Mr. Ye, why don't you sell it!"

The shareholders began to urgently persuade them.

Despite its high market capitalization, Hongda International is actually just a commodity distributor.

The profit margin is already pitifully small.

Sometimes, in order to compete fiercely in the market, we have to make painful concessions.

Throughout the year, the average profit is less than 8%.

After a year of hard work, the net profit is only three to five hundred million.

When the money is distributed to the shareholders, each person will only receive a few million or tens of millions.

At this profit level, how many years would it take them to recoup the value of their shares?

It would be better to sell it cleanly, take the money, and go home to their own families.

"President Meng, the situation is pressing. Are you really confident that you can withstand the competition?"

Suddenly, President Ye turned his head and stared intently at Meng Chuan.

His eyes held both expectation and worry.

All eyes turned to Meng Chuan once again.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Meng Chuan's answer.

"As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. The Brilliant Supply Chain is still based in the north. What can it do to me?"

Meng Chuan tilted his head slightly, his expression full of confidence and composure.

Although the voice was not loud, it seemed to carry an irresistible power.

Every word was like a reassuring pill, resounding with conviction.

"Meng Chuan, you really are fearless and won't let your tongue get twisted."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chenchen immediately flew into a rage:

"You call yourself Brilliant Supply Chain? Let me tell you, Brilliant Supply Chain has already received investment from 'Today Capital,' integrated the market, improved the supply chain, and going public is just a matter of time. Your Hongda International is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating its own strength."

When Feng Chenchen mentioned "Today's Capital," a smug look appeared on her face.

This is the source of her confidence, and also the source of the brilliance of the supply chain.

Meng Chuan raised his eyelids, a meaningful smile appearing on his face:

"Hehe, so it was Xu Jiu who invested in your Brilliant Supply Chain!"

Xu Jiu is the founder of Today Capital.

Some time ago in Beijing, Meng Chuan had some interactions with Xu Jiu.

"I didn't expect you to know Mr. Xu Jiu?"

Feng Chenchen was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

But soon, she raised her head, and an arrogant expression reappeared on her face:

"Then you should know that J Dong, which was recently invested in by Today Capital, has a book return of over 10 billion US dollars."

"Being chosen and invested in by Mr. Xu is enough to prove the potential of my brilliant supply chain."

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better agree to sell and not do something as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Meng Chuan smiled slightly, his expression somewhat mysterious:

"Me, trying to stop a chariot with my bare hands? Call Xu Jiu and ask her if she would dare say that to my face."

Meng Chuan acknowledged that Xu Jiu did indeed have certain methods and connections in the investment world.

In today's future, capital will indeed have a place in the investment field.

However, it is now 2014.

J Dong's high returns were not solely due to Xu Jiu's efforts; she merely raised funds for investment.

In terms of personal assets, Meng Chuan is miles ahead of her.

Moreover, although Meng Chuan's "Meng Chuan Capital" is not well-known in the investment world at present.

However, Mengchuan Capital is destined to become a behemoth in the investment world and a trendsetter in the industry.

Based on his investments in Douyin and Pinduoduo alone.

In the near future, Mengchuan Capital will surely create a legend in the investment world.

"Can't you stop exaggerating?"

Feng Chenchen was so angry that her face turned red.

How dare he disregard "Today's Capital"? This arrogant braggart is nothing but a boastful scoundrel.

Of course, she was just an executive director.

Indeed, I do not have the authority to contact Xu Jiu to verify Meng Chuan's words.

This added a touch of helplessness to her anger.

"Okay, I believe you. I won't sell it."

However, just as everyone was questioning Meng Chuan, President Ye suddenly spoke up loudly.

His decision completely surprised everyone.

Mr. Ye did not make this decision on a whim.

Others may not know Meng Chuan, but he knows a little about him.

Meng Chuan's ability to pry 20% of the shares from the Chen family is something that not everyone can do.

This incident made President Ye pay special attention to Meng Chuan, and he secretly investigated Meng Chuan in private.

Although his understanding of Meng Chuan is not yet comprehensive, he believes that Meng Chuan is no ordinary person.

He was willing to take the gamble.

"Mr. Ye..."

"President Ye, why are you joining in this nonsense too!"

"Oh! Don't let him fool you!"

"What a mess this is! Sigh..."

The shareholders were immediately in an uproar upon hearing Mr. Ye's decision.

Their faces were filled with anger, disappointment, and incomprehension.

The first and second largest shareholders now hold more than 51 percent of the shares.

This deal is off for today.

"Hehe, Mr. Ye has a good eye."

Meng Chuan's lips curled up, revealing an appreciative smile.

Then, Meng Chuan glanced at the other shareholders again, his voice tinged with amusement:

"Since you're so eager to sell, fine, then sell it to me!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited on the previously disappointed and angry faces of the shareholders.

Since we're going to sell shares anyway, it doesn't matter who we sell to.

As long as I can get the money, nothing else matters.

However, the next moment, Meng Chuan's next words were like a knife to the heart:

"I am willing to buy back your shares at 10% below market price. Those who are willing, go back and prepare the contract yourselves."
