Collection of Gods

Chapter 944: Chickens and Dogs
When men are in power, if they have children in the future, they will be of the same clan and surname.

If a woman is in power, the children she will have in the future will be of a different race and surname.

The former represents common interests, while the latter represents the loss of power. This is the fundamental reason why Wei Zidong and Yu Xinxi face the same situation but have very different circumstances.

Compared to Yu Xinxi being in power, everyone in the Yu family obviously hopes that Yu Yaokang will be in power, because Yu Yaokang is not only Yu Yaoting's younger brother and a meritorious figure in the expansion of the Yu Group's territory, but also has a prosperous family with many descendants. Not counting the illegitimate sons who are living outside, there are three legitimate sons.

If Yu Yaokang is in power, after he abdicates, the next generation successor will definitely be a direct descendant of the Yu family. This is obviously more in line with the interests of everyone in the Yu family.

With Wei Zidong, the local tyrant, in charge of Handong, the equity structure of the Yu Group was already under control long before Tang Yuan left Handong.

After decades of development, the Yu Group's business scope spans more than a dozen fields and involves many aspects. As of the time of Yu Yaoting's death, Yu Yaoting personally held 28.74% of the shares, ranking first among many shareholders, and Fang Wenru personally held 10.32% of the shares, ranking sixth among many shareholders.

The couple held a total of 39.06% of the shares, exceeding the 34% control of Security, and enjoyed a veto power in the board of directors. Before Yu Yaoting passed away, Yu Yaoting basically had absolute control over the board of directors.

However, security control is not as solid as a rock. In the past, when Yu Yaoting was in power, he could suppress many shareholders and investors. By playing some tricks of forming alliances, he could make the total number of shares in his hands exceed 67%, the red line of absolute control. No one could shake his position.

Now, Yu Yaoting has suddenly passed away due to illness, and those shareholders who originally actively supported Yu Yaoting have defected and all switched to Yu Yaokang. This is both the trend of the times and driven by interests.

Putting aside the emotions for now, Yu Yaokang is indeed more suitable to be the helmsman of Yu Group than Yu Xinxi, because Yu Yaokang has experience, qualifications, connections and means, while Yu Xinxi has nothing and no management experience at all.

Under this circumstance, many shareholders and investors would definitely side with Yu Yaokang even if they had to make the decision by their butts, because they would feel more at ease if Yu Yaokang was in power, and Yu Yaokang could lead the Yu Group to make more money for them.

Although their actions were somewhat unfair to the friendship between them and Yu Yaoting during his lifetime, and their methods were somewhat like destroying the entire family, when it comes to the benefits of real money, interests always come first.

People say whores are heartless and actors are disloyal, but when it comes to heartlessness and disloyalty, whores and actors can barely be ranked third. Once businessmen are ruthless, they can be even more heartless and disloyal than whores and actors.

When it comes to interests, even Yu Yaokang, as Yu Yaoting's younger brother, can turn against him, let alone those shareholders and investors who are not related by blood. Moreover, since Yu Yaokang had turned against him first, they would have no psychological burden if they turned against him again.

"If Yu Yaokang succeeds in usurping power, what do you think he will do?"

Tang Yuan's eyes were somewhat deep and distant, and he asked with a hint of playfulness on his lips.

"The first step is definitely to kick Fang Wenru and Yu Xinxi out of the board of directors."

"After this, Yu Yaokang will definitely use various means to reduce the equity held by Yu Yaokang and Fang Wenru, so as to increase his control over the Yu Group. By then, Fang Wenru and Yu Xinxi will be fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They can only let them suck their blood without any resistance until the two of them are completely no longer a threat."

"If Yu Yaokang takes the relationship into consideration, he may leave some shares for the mother and daughter, allowing them to continue to receive dividends every year. But if he does not take any relationship into consideration, the mother and daughter will most likely be kicked out."

"Judging from Yu Yaokang's current methods, he has already started planning to usurp power before his own brother has even been buried. I feel that he will most likely not take any feelings into consideration. After all, as long as Fang Wenru and Yu Xinxi are still in the Yu Group, people will be reminded of his disgraceful behavior of eating up the entire family, which will undermine his dignity as a ruler."

Facing Tang Yuan's question, Wei Zidong did not hide anything and said whatever he wanted to say, because he knew very well that Yu Yaokang's dream of usurping power was simply impossible to achieve.

Yu Xinxi indeed has no experience, no qualifications, no means, and no connections, but she has only one thing that is enough for her to overcome everything, and that thing is Tang Yuan's favor.

Some time ago, Yu Xinxi was trapped in Seoul, and Tang Yuan was willing to take the risk himself and lead the team to Seoul. This behavior alone was enough to show how much Tang Yuan loved Yu Xinxi. In front of Tang Yuan, Yu Yaokang, shareholders, and investors were nothing but chickens and dogs. Although the Yu Group was in its heyday in South China, if Tang Yuan wanted to deal with the Yu Group, he only needed to say a word, which would be enough to make the Yu Group unable to move forward in the country and even the world.

This is Tang Yuan’s current terrifying power!
Even a provincial governor like Zhou Xuyuan had to treat Tang Yuan as an equal, let alone private enterprises. For Wei Zidong, he felt that his greatest luck in this life was to make friends with Tang Yuan when Tang Yuan was in his rising stage.

"I originally planned to leave after attending Yu Yaoting's funeral, but now it seems that I have to participate in the shareholders' meeting of the Yu Group as well."

Just as Wei Zidong thought, Tang Yuan really did not take this group of people seriously. If it were in other occasions, if this group of people wanted to toast Tang Yuan, they would have to line up to have a chance. However, for Yu Xinxi, Tang Yuan could only choose to condescend to meet them.

'I hope they won't be ungrateful!'

Such a thought flashed through Tang Yuan's mind.

"Do you need me to go over and help out?"

Wei Zidong took the initiative to ask Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Brother Wei, Yu Yaokang's group is at most a Bantian unit. We are not going to attack Ping'an County. I am enough on my own. I don't need your help!"

"Alright alright."

Wei Zidong shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "To be honest, I just want to watch the fun. Since you don't need my help, I'll just wait for good news."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Xinxi is staying at home these two days. I should be relatively free before Yu Yaoting's funeral. I'll leave this time to Brother Wei. I hope you won't let me down."

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows at Wei Zidong, revealing a look that all men understand.

"Don't worry, it's already been arranged."

Wei Zidong also showed a knowing smile on his face.

"So what are you waiting for? Tell the driver to speed up!"

"Any faster and you're speeding!"

"Speeding is speeding. As long as we drive fast enough and the police... cough, they won't be able to catch up with us!"

"In that case, I'll have the driver weld the accelerator shut!"

"GoGoGo!"
