Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

It's clear that Shen Yue is genuinely panicked.

With her intelligence and resourcefulness, she must have been truly desperate.

She would never come to Meng Chuan to "turn herself in".

Because of her confession, Meng Chuan looked down on her.

Moreover, she overestimated her own charm.

They also underestimated Meng Chuan's composure.

Even if she willingly offered her body, she still couldn't win Meng Chuan's sympathy.

"Meng Chuan, I beg you, please save me."

Shen Yue suddenly knelt down.

"what are you doing?"

Meng Chuan frowned.

"Meng Chuan, I really didn't lie to you."

As Shen Yue spoke, she took out her phone and played a recording.

Recording begins—

Shen An's voice was slightly slurred with drunkenness:

"Moon, as long as you nod, the future of Shang'an Real Estate is yours... Why cling to that pathetic morality? That good-for-nothing Shen Chong doesn't deserve you."

Shen Yue (in the recording):

"Dad, you've had too much to drink."

Shen An (sneered):

"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Do you really think I don't know about the spies you've planted at Shang'an Real Estate all these years? That idiot Chen Li has been completely fooled by you, but I've been watching all along..."

The recording ends.

Meng Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.

This recording reveals two explosive pieces of information:

First, Shen Yue did not lie before; Shen An did indeed have wicked thoughts about his adopted daughter.

Secondly, Shen Yue had already made arrangements within Shang'an Real Estate, but she thought she could hide it from Shen An, unaware that Shen An had seen through everything.

This means that Shen Anyuan is more shrewd than he appears!

Shen Yue said with a deathly pale face:

"Shen An saw through my little tricks long ago, but he always indulged me, even fueling them... because he wanted me to understand—"

Shen Yue said, enunciating each word clearly:

"In the Shen family, morality is a luxury, while power... is the only true currency."

Shen Yue's words sent a chill down Meng Chuan's spine.

People all yearn for the life of the wealthy.

Little did they know that in the true wealthy families, every brick in the mansion was soaked with blood, and every laugh concealed a knife.

At this moment, Meng Chuan suddenly felt genuinely sorry for Shen Yue.

"You get up first!"

Meng Chuan said with some reluctance.

She was also a woman with a tragic fate.

Born into such a wealthy family, if she hadn't been shrewd and calculating, she probably would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even scraps.

In fact, who would want to scheme and plot when they could live a carefree life?

"I won't get up unless you agree. Meng Chuan, I can agree to your request. I don't need anything else, I just want the Shen family to be destroyed."

Shen Yue gritted her teeth and took out a contract from her handbag:

"To show my sincerity, I can give you 10% of my shares in Shang'an Real Estate."

“Shen An has been unjust and treacherous to me. I will not walk away. Even if I die, I will make the Shen family pay with their lives.”

Shen Yue's shareholding structure is similar to Chen Li's back then.

She also registered shell companies overseas.

Through a complex equity structure, a shell company is used to hold the shares on behalf of the owner.

This can be seen as his wariness of the Shen family.

In case the Shen family suddenly takes back the shares she holds.

Now all she needs to do is transfer this shell company to Meng Chuan.

That way, the shares of Shang'an Real Estate could be transferred to Meng Chuan without anyone noticing.

"Are you really willing to give me these shares?"

Meng Chuan looked at Shen Yue with a serious expression.

I wanted to read Shen Yue's true thoughts from her face.

To be honest, Meng Chuan was genuinely tempted.

Meng Chuan has already acquired the 10% stake that Shen An issued.

Chen Li also gave Meng Chuan 9% of the circulating shares.

In this way, Meng Chuan would effectively hold a 19% stake in Shang'an Real Estate.

If we add the 10% held by Shen Yue, then Meng Chuan would indirectly hold 29% of the equity in Shang'an Real Estate.

Thus, Meng Chuan is now the largest shareholder of Shang'an Real Estate.

Shen An is the second largest shareholder, but he now only holds 15% of the shares.

However, Chen Li and Shen Chong still have 20% left.

If the three of them join together, their total share is 35%.

It will be quite difficult for Meng Chuan to seize power.

Unless Meng Chuan is willing to spend a lot of money to acquire shares at any cost.

But it's a bull market now.

Meng Chuan wanted to acquire the circulating shares held by retail investors.

The price to pay will be considerable.

Moreover, it would alert the enemy, letting Shen An know Meng Chuan's intentions in advance, thus increasing the unpredictability.

"What use would it be for me to own this equity?"

Shen Yue gave a bitter smile.

In fact, Shen Yue's decision to "confess" to Meng Chuan today was a last resort.

First of all, time waits for no one; she no longer has time.

Secondly, Meng Chuan's achievements are becoming increasingly prominent.

He has been almost deified online.

She no longer dared to scheme against Meng Chuan.

Even if her scheme succeeds in the end, given Meng Chuan's current appeal and influence...

She could turn the tables in a minute, and if Meng Chuan were even more ruthless, he could cyberbully her.

For example, Ge Wei, nowadays Ge Wei doesn't dare to go out.

Reports indicate that Ge Wei's house is being pelted with rotten eggs by netizens every day.

Even if Ge Wei apologizes, his reputation will be ruined afterward.

Therefore, she came to see Meng Chuan today to be completely open and honest.

If Meng Chuan is willing to help her, that would be best; she would even be willing to sacrifice herself.

If Meng Chuan is unwilling to help her, then she will give up everything.

She could give Meng Chuan the equity, or even the entire Shang'an Real Estate.

All she wants is for Shen An's family to be destroyed.

"Even if you give me the shares, Chen Li and Shen An both have veto power, so it won't be easy to take over Shang'an Real Estate."

Meng Chuan asked with concern.

To say that Meng Chuan wasn't tempted would be a lie.

Shang'an Real Estate is, after all, a company with a market value of hundreds of billions.

This is a considerable fortune.

However, it is almost impossible to acquire Shang'an Real Estate at minimal cost.

"As long as you can make Shang'an Real Estate make a major investment mistake, their veto power will be nullified."

Shen Yue explained.

It turns out that Shang'an Real Estate had made a stipulation in the equity agreement.

Shen An and Chen Li have veto power, but the shareholders also have a concerted action agreement.

Whether it's an election, a major decision, or an investment, when a veto power conflicts with a group acting in concert.

The main body is the veto power.

However, there is one special case.

When Shen An makes a major investment mistake, his veto power becomes invalid, and the orders of the parties acting in concert are executed.

This is to prevent Shen An from abusing his veto power and infringing on the interests of shareholders.

Therefore, to seize power, one must first cause Shen An to make a major investment mistake.

"You mean, you have people among the shareholders?"

Meng Chuan looked at Shen Yue with a puzzled expression.

“That’s right, more than half of the shareholders are my people, and I can make them execute orders to act in concert.”

Shen Yue said with great certainty.

Meng Chuan looked at Shen Yue with admiration:

"Impressive tactics. You managed to win over more than half of the shareholders right under Shen An's nose."

Meng Chuan truly admired Shen Yue; she was genuinely capable.

For a woman to accomplish such a feat truly shows that women are just as capable as men.

If it weren't for Shen An's relentless pressure...

If Shen Yue were given more time, she might not even need to rely on Meng Chuan.

She could ruin Shang'an Real Estate and kick Shen An out of the game all by herself.

"I was just trying to protect myself."

Shen Yue said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Okay, I promise you. In three days at most, Shang'an Real Estate will be owned by the Meng family."
