After Zhang Wei and his entourage of five people arrived in Xiangjiang, it was already time for dinner, Zhang Pinghua led the group to meet his father, and they were arranged to have a reunion dinner together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because it was Zhang Kunzhong's 70-year-old birthday, the five children had to rush back to Xiangjiang to celebrate their birthdays, in addition to Zhang Pingsheng, Zhang Pinghua, and Zhang Pingxia's three families, Zhang Kunzhong's eldest daughter's family also rushed back.
Zhang Kunzhong's eldest daughter is named Zhang Junlan, the eldest of the five siblings, who has been working and living in Europe all these years, because her husband and children are working, she is the only one who has returned to Xiangjiang.
Zhang Kunzhong's other daughter is named Zhang Junyue, and because of the flight delay, she will not be able to return to Xiangjiang until tomorrow, so this time there is actually only the Zhang family's four-child family who will gather together.
Zhang Pingsheng's wife is named Fei Li, and this time she also rushed back from the United States, Zhang Wei saw these two elders for the first time, so naturally he had to meet again.
After all, Aunt Fei Li and Zhang Wei have no blood relationship, and they haven't seen each other for so many years, so naturally it is impossible to be too close and just polite greetings, but Zhang Junlan hugged Zhang Weiwei and cried, which made Zhang Wei feel a little embarrassed, but there was a little more warmth in his heart, and he also had a little more recognition for this aunt.
After dinner, Zhang Kunzhong left a few children alone, and the younger generation left separately, Zhang Wei also returned to his villa, and was pestered by Zhang Zhongyi to play chess.
Zhang Wei was a little stranger in Zhang's house, and he was not used to going to bed early, so he simply accompanied his younger brother to play chess, and it was not until Zhang Pinghua's conversation was over that the two brothers ended the chess game.
After Zhang Pinghua walked into his villa, he saw his two sons playing chess, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
"Mom and Dad, you're back." When Zhang Zhongyi saw his parents walk into the house, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and said.
"Hmm." Zhang Pinghua responded with a smile, patted Zhang Zhongyi's head again, and then turned his head to Zhang Wei and said, "Ah Wei, come to my study, I have something to tell you." ā
"Okay." Zhang Wei responded with a smile, nodded to Mrs. Rong, and then followed Zhang Pinghua to the second floor.
After Zhang Pinghua and the two came to the study, they sat on the sofa on the right side of the study, Zhang Pinghua patted his son's shoulder and said, "Ah Wei, you have been doing a good job recently, and the old man praised you just now." ā
"I'm just doing what I can, and it's better than my grandfather and you to teach." Zhang Wei said with an indifferent smile.
Zhang Wei's face was not obvious, but he was very happy in his heart, the reason why he entered Huayang Company and worked hard to be promoted in Huayang Company was not to let the old man pay attention to himself?
Of course, Zhang Kunzhong just praised him, and he didn't pay special attention to it, otherwise Zhang Kunzhong asked his children to talk tonight, maybe he would bring Zhang Wei with him.
"Dad, what are you looking for me? Is it because of what grandfather talked about tonight? Zhang Wei asked.
"Yes, you should know that we came back this time to celebrate your grandfather's birthday, but there is another meaning besides birthday." Zhang Pinghua said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Wei wondered.
"Every few years, Hongding Group will hold a board of directors election, and the shareholder with the highest number of share votes will become the new chairman of Hongding Group." Zhang Pinghua said.
"Dad, you mean to say that my grandfather's birthday has something to do with the board election." Zhang Wei asked.
"This year, it is the turn of the board of directors to be elected, and your grandfather wants to invite all the major shareholders of Hongding Group in the name of his birthday, so that he can get enough votes and keep your grandfather's chairman's seat." Zhang Pinghua said.
After hearing Zhang Pinghua's words, Zhang Wei's expression also became solemn, Zhang Wei was able to be promoted quickly in Huayang Company, and he was able to smoothly settle Guan Zilong's affairs, all relying on the prestige of the chairman of Hongding Group.
If Zhang Kunzhong is unable to keep the position of chairman, this is only a matter of face, and it will also weaken the Zhang family's control in Hongding Group, as well as the influence and relationship of the Zhang family on the outside world.
Therefore, on the matter of the election of the board of directors of Hongding Group, the opinions of the Zhang family are surprisingly unified, because this matter is related to the interests of every Zhang family, and it can be said that it is a matter of both prosperity and loss, even Zhang Wei's attitude towards this matter is no exception.
"Dad, what are the chances of my grandfather keeping the chairman's seat, and are there any strong competitors?" Zhang Wei asked with a look of concern on his face.
"Our Zhang family has 18% of the shares in the head office of Hongding Group, which can be said to be the largest shareholder of Hongding Group, plus some shareholders who are good friends with the Zhang family, and there is still a lot of hope if they want to keep the seat of the chairman of Hongding Group." Zhang Pinghua showed a hint of pride on his face, and then analyzed:
"If the competitors elected by the board of directors are the Su family and the Wei family of Hongding Group, of which the Su family owns 10% of the shares of the head office, and the Wei family owns 11% of the shares of the head office.
"Oh, I see." Zhang Wei replied.
"However, you don't have to worry too much, your grandfather has a high prestige in Hongding Group, and he is still very sure to keep the chairman's seat." Zhang Pinghua said.
"I see." Zhang Wei said.
"Well, then you should rest early today, and tomorrow I will introduce you to some shareholders of the head office, they are the real principals of Hongding Group." Zhang Pinghua said.
"Okay, then I'll go and rest first." Zhang Wei responded with a smile, and then walked out of the study.
ā¦ā¦
In the living room of a luxury villa in Xiangjiang, two people were sitting on the sofa talking, one of them was about seventy years old, his hair was dyed black, there was no trace of white hair, he was tall and strong.
Another middle-aged man was about fifty years old, the man was white-faced, beardless, gorgeously dressed, elegant in manners, and witty in conversation, and he must have been a beautiful man when he was young.
These two people are none other than Wei Zifu, the second largest shareholder of Hongding Group, and Su Mu, the third largest shareholder, and the reason why the two of them got together to talk was also for Zhang Kunzhong's birthday banquet.
"Elder Wei, I thought about it carefully again, and I think that for the sake of safety, I will still participate in Elder Zhang's birthday tomorrow, at least to see which shareholders take refuge in each other." Su Mu said.
"Well, be careful to make the Wannian Ship, although the shares of you and me combined, although they have surpassed the Zhang family, but this advantage is not very big, the most important thing is the number of shareholders on both sides." Wei Zifu nodded and said.
"Yes, let's try not to be known by the Zhang family about the two of us, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble." Su Mu said.
"Of course I know this, that old man Zhang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise it would be impossible to occupy the position of chairman all the time." Wei Zifu sighed and said.
Wei Zifu and Zhang Kunzhong are of the same age, and the two can be said to have fought all their lives, but Wei Zifu has always been pressed by the other party, and the grievances in his heart can be imagined.
And the heads of the two families and the shareholders of the group actually gathered twice in one day, which shows how much they attach importance to this matter.
"Xiao Su, those two children have also been dating for a while, and they have been married some time ago, in my opinion, we will choose a good day at the beginning of next year, let the two children get married, and it must be lively when the time comes." Wei Zifu suggested with a smile on his face.
"Okay, since Elder Wei has already spoken, I, as a junior, naturally have no opinion, and I guess those two children are also very happy." Su Mu said with a smile.
"I estimate that even if Old Man Zhang wants to break his head, he can't imagine that you and I will join forces, as long as you and I can unite, we will definitely win in the board of directors, and then Hongding Group will be based on our will." Wei Zifu said confidently.
"Yes, there has been some misunderstanding between our two families for so many years, otherwise because the two children walked together, I am afraid they would not really choose to join forces." A strange smile appeared on Su Ming's face.
"I really can't wait to see Old Man Zhang's expression after he loses the election." Wei Zifu said with deep longing as if he was a child seeing his beloved toy.
