Chapter 0696: Tolerance

When a collective has a common goal and a leader who holds everything together, the efficiency of that collective is undoubtedly astonishing.

This was the lesson Father Zhao imparted to Zhao Fusheng.

In Father Zhao's view, after this incident, the entire Wanda had been forged into a single rope by him, with no more of the previous underhanded dealings, and no need to worry about instability in the rear.

This was something Zhao Fusheng hadn't thought of before.

But regardless, the matter was resolved, and Zhao Fusheng could breathe a sigh of relief and focus on his own affairs.

As for the issue of company shares, Han Bin gave Zhao Fusheng an idea before leaving.

"Your family's company will eventually grow big," Han Bin said to Zhao Fusheng. "Once it does, you can directly issue rights offerings, and then you'll definitely be able to force these people out."

"Rights offerings?" Zhao Fusheng looked confused.

But Han Bin didn't explain; he simply told Zhao Fusheng to look up the information himself, and then left.

After Zhao Fusheng looked up the information, he couldn't help but marvel at how resourceful these capitalists were.

So-called rights offerings, also known as share offerings, are a way to raise capital by offering shares to existing shareholders at a price below market value.

Shareholders can accept or decline the rights offering.

If they accept, they must purchase these shares; if they decline, they can only watch their stake get diluted.

In simple terms, a rights offering is a game of who has more money. Whoever has more money can keep playing; conversely, without enough capital, one has to leave the game, and their previous chips naturally become someone else's spoils.

Given the financial standing of Hou Liangping and the others, they were no match for Zhao Fusheng's family, so playing the rights offering game would surely result in a heavy loss.

Generally, in the domestic stock market, the proportion of rights offerings cannot exceed 30%, meaning the number of new shares issued cannot exceed 30% of the existing shares.

This is mainly to maintain market stability and protect shareholders' interests.

Currently, Zhao Fusheng's family company was, to put it plainly, a joint-stock limited company, meaning the company's assets were divided into equal shares, shareholders bore responsibility for the company based on their shares, and the company bore responsibility for its debts with all its assets.

Of course, if Father Zhao were ruthless enough, he could drive those people out now, and it would naturally become a private enterprise of the Zhao family.

Zhao Fusheng was helpless about this; he couldn't convince his parents, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.

In fact, deep down, Zhao Fusheng didn't think Hou Liangping and the others would quietly swallow their anger. After all, the better Wanda developed, the stronger their sense of imbalance would become.

In truth, throughout one's life, too many people appear in our lives, and not everyone we deal with is good. There are many kind people, but also plenty of bad ones. Even if we have a clear conscience, there will still be some with malicious intentions.

But there was no way around it. For such people, aside from repaying evil with justice, Zhao Fusheng couldn't think of any other approach. He was never a soft-hearted person. If someone dared to provoke him, what he could do was teach them a harsh lesson.

As for whether Ma Qianli and Hou Liangping might collude again, Zhao Fusheng wasn't worried at all. Before leaving, Han Bin introduced a lawyer to Zhao Fusheng. With him around, there was no need to worry about loopholes in relevant business laws and regulations. Moreover, Zhao Fusheng had already asked Han Bin to help find professional managers in Shenzhen and elsewhere to assist.

Besides, given the caliber of those families, unless Ma was crazy, he wouldn't recruit those people under him.

This was perfectly normal. No matter what kind of boss, while they want loyalty from their subordinates, they also want them to be capable and bring benefits. If someone was both incompetent and a waste who would betray them for profit, who would want to employ them?

…

…

"So it's resolved just like that?"

In the dormitory of Ninghai Normal University, Tan Kaixuan looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise, completely not expecting the matter to be resolved in such a seemingly childish way.

He had thought the whole thing would be very troublesome, even prepared to mobilize funds from KFC to help. But Zhao Fusheng brought in Han Bin, and somehow the matter was settled so inexplicably.

Zhao Fusheng smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be handled so smoothly either."

As he spoke, he shook his head and laughed: "An amateur is indeed an amateur. I was almost fooled by that Ma."

Tan Kaixuan agreed wholeheartedly. After hearing the whole story from Zhao Fusheng, he felt the same way.

Both of them were now in business, so they clearly understood what this incident meant.

In other words, without Han Bin's accidental discovery, Wanda would now be under the Ma family's name. By the time you realized it and wanted to sue, you wouldn't have a chance to win.

Even Zhao Fusheng would be powerless, because the black-and-white evidence was there; being foolish was no one's fault but his own.

After this incident, Tan Kaixuan was determined to find a good lawyer and never let anyone exploit loopholes. Moreover, whenever professional matters were involved, he had to hire experts.

Zhao Fusheng also understood this principle, but he thought more deeply. Recently, he had indeed been a bit lax. If he had brought his personal lawyer, Cheng Gong, when he came back, he wouldn't have had so much trouble.

It was all because he was too overconfident that he ended up making such a fool of himself.

"By the way, your girlfriend is coming back soon, right?" At that moment, Tan Kaixuan suddenly winked at Zhao Fusheng and asked.

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then glanced at Tan Kaixuan: "What are you up to?"

It wasn't that he worried about Old Tan having any improper thoughts; he was just afraid that the guy would stir up trouble again.

"Look at you, I was just thinking, since the big star is back, I'd ask her for a favor," Tan Kaixuan said with a sly grin, winking at Zhao Fusheng.

Hearing this, Zhao Fusheng immediately understood what he was plotting. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he felt a bit sorry for Fan Baobao, who was still in Beijing.

"Well, Aunt Li agreed to it," Tan Kaixuan added when he saw Zhao Fusheng silent.

Zhao Fusheng was speechless. Li Yuan really was setting her daughter up.

But since that was the case, he had nothing to say. If her own mother had agreed, what could he, as her boyfriend, say?

"Got it. It's just like last time, doing a promotion at the store," Zhao Fusheng said, giving Tan Kaixuan a disdainful look. "Talk to her yourself. I'm not speaking for you."

No way. If Fan Baobao found out he was also involved in tricking her, she would definitely fight him.

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to her myself," Tan Kaixuan said with a smile.

He told Zhao Fusheng mainly because he was afraid Zhao Fusheng would be upset. Since he had no objections, the matter was almost settled.

The two chatted about other things, mainly the development of the chain internet cafes. Zhao Fusheng repeatedly urged Tan Kaixuan that while other things could be overlooked, fire safety in the cafes must be thoroughly checked to eliminate all potential dangers.

Although Tan Kaixuan found it a bit odd, since Zhao Fusheng was so serious, he naturally took it to heart and nodded, saying he would personally oversee it.

After all, Zhao Fusheng rarely gave such serious instructions. Tan Kaixuan didn't fully understand, but he thought it was fine. After all, the customers were mostly young people. If something went wrong, it would be impossible to clear one's name.

Time proved that Zhao Fusheng's concerns were correct. A year later, Tan Kaixuan finally understood why Zhao Fusheng had insisted on doing all those things.

But by then, their business was no longer limited to just chain internet cafes.
