Chapter 17 The Mysterious New investor

Everyone held their breath in anticipation as they saw Xia Jun

walking into the meeting room with the new shareholder.

They laughed wryly as they set their eyes upon him.

The new shareholder was really messing with them this time.

A black cap, dark sunglasses, as well as a black mask.

This might as well be a fan meeting.

Although the new shareholder was gaudy, everyone could see that the new shareholder was a very young man.

Hence, most of them were sure that he was a young master from some huge enterprise.

If it weren't so, he wouldn't have the capability to buy over a company at such a young age.

Actually, Lu Chen decided to dress up

like this after listening to what Fan Ming said.

Although he didn't see Fan Ming as an opponent, since Fan Ming wanted to use him against himself, of course he would give Fan Ming the chance to do so

He really wanted to see Fan Ming's expression when he realized the truth. That would be very fascinating.

Lu Chen's eyes scanned over everyone In the management team. However, he quickly looked away when his gaze reached Lin Yijun.

Although he was wearing his sunglasses, he somehow felt that Lin Yijun was looking at him suspiciously.

How could Lin Yijun not be suspicious?

After dating Lu Chen for three years and being married for four, she was too familiar with him.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she recognized his figure.

Is that him?

Lin Yijun was surprised by the thought that popped up in her mind.

How could that be Lu Chen?

She shook her head and suppressed this impossible thought in no time.

"Do you guys know why I dressed up like this?" After Lu Chen and Xia Jun were seated, Lu Chen questioned.

Of course, he purposely changed the way he spoke so that he sounded more hoarse to prevent Lin Yijun from recognizing him.

Everyone shook their heads in curiosity.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and continued, "Because my name is Lu Tu, and I looked quite old fashioned."

The crowd laughed along. They all thought that the new shareholder was quite a humorous man.

"The reason I held this meeting today was to encourage all of you to work harder as I've noticed that the company Isn't doing very well recently."

"I don't know what General Manger Xia's previous plan was. However, since I'm the biggest shareholder in the company now, I have my own aims."

"I won't elaborate much about it, but I will let all of you know that my short term plan is for Dong Jia Electronics to break out of Chongqing and become one of the most famous electronics companies nationwide."

"My long term goal is to, of course, break into foreign markets."

"Hence, there will be great changes in the company soon. We will be opening branches soon, meaning that many of you in the management team will get a chance at promotion. I will provide an equal platform for each and every one of you to showcase your talents, provided that all of you are confident that you can be of help to the company."

After Lu Chen finished his speech, everyone gave him an emotional applause.

Lu Chen promised to give them an equal platform in exchange for them to

provide a future for him. How could they not take this opportunity to try to prove themselves?

This new shareholder was really influential. What kind of formidable man was this?

Even Xia Jun was moved by his speech.

Although Lu Chen had told him about his future plans, he still couldn't contain his excitement when he imagined the future of their company.

If what Lu Chen had planned came true, then he could gain so much more money than that of when he was managing this company.

Of course, as the company's size increases, his status in the company would also be higher.

"You guys might think that I'm just bullsh*tting, so let me say something realistic first. Starting from next month, I will add an extra 1000 on every managers' basic pay and 500 on every worker's basic pay, as well as an increment of 30% for the year end's bonuses."

"Regarding the sales department, there will be an increment in commission of about 10% for salespersons, 20% for the supervisor and 30% for the director. Of course, to get this commission, all of the salespersons as well as both managers in the sales department must hit a basic target every month. I will ask for General Manager Xia's help in coming up with a basic target in these few days."

"In short, those who work hard will gain more. Your sales reputation will be like a final assessment; those who score well will have a better chance to be put into an important position when the company branches out. I hope Director Fan and Supervisor Lin will not disappoint me and General Manager Xia," Lu Chen continued as he turned to look at Lin Yijun and Fan Ming, both of them nodding in excitement. A firm look of belief was written on both their faces.

The other managers started discussing amongst themselves in excitement.

Lu Chen was right, even though he said many things that made all of them feel fired up, it still gave off the feeling that he was just trying to convince himself as well as the rest of them. What these workers cared most about was their salary.

Hence, upon hearing his promises, many of the managers started spreading this news among their workplace group chats.

All of the workers from each department couldn't contain their excitement when they were informed

that the new shareholder had decided to increase their salaries.

Cheers and applause were heard

everywhere. After all, an increment in salary was something worth celebrating.

With just 500 for normal workers, the salary increment wasn't that high.

However, their monthly salary wasn't high to begin with. To most of them, 500 was already enough to pay for a month's rent.

This was just like the company paying for their rents.

Added on to the year end bonus, this was equivalent to a monthly increment of 700 in salary.

It didn't really matter if the new shareholder was trying to talk big as he actually managed to convince everyone in the company of their company's future development.

All of them were ambitious. Who wouldn't want to be a manager in a huge company and get a higher salary?

"Alright, that is all that I will be saying. Now, it's time for you guys to ask if you have any inquiries," Lu Chen declared as he looked at the crowd.

Noticing that no one had any questions, Lin Yijun stood up and questioned, "Lu Tu, I have no doubt regarding our company's future development, however, I feel like our company still doesn't have the capability to get the Saddle Hill Dragon Lakeview Mansion Project right now. However, Director Fan insisted for me to follow up with the project. I have some doubts, so I want to ask for your opinion."

Fan Ming's face fell when he saw Lin Yijun calling him out in front of the new shareholder. If all of them knew that this was an impossible mission, wouldn't the new shareholder know too?

You little b*tch, you better watch out!

Fan Ming scoffed and moved to stand up to explain himself.

Right at that moment, Lu Chen laughed and said, "The Saddle Hill Dragon Lakeview Mansion Project? Well, with our company's reputation right now, it is indeed hard to get that project."

"However, although it's hard, it doesn't mean that we have no chance at all, right? Supervisor Lin, sometimes, being successful isn't what matters the most in some situations. The most important thing is your willingness to try."

*Jun Yue Group had never specified outright that they didn't want our company's product, am I right? Maybe there's a possibility that they will also realize that our company's pricings are much more affordable than other companies and sign a contract with us."

"So, my recommendation is to not give up on any projects. Although, you might not get it, but at least you gained some exposure from it. Then, maybe the probability of you getting the next

project will be higher."

Hearing Lu Chen's advice, Fan Ming looked at Lin Yijun with a hint of mocking.

The new shareholder just indirectly confirmed him!

Thinking of this, Fan Ming felt even more confident that he could get the new shareholder on his side.

"Thank you for your advice, General Manager Lu. I'll make sure to follow up this project closely." Since the new shareholder had also put it that way. who was Lin Yijun to say otherwise.

However, she felt that what the new shareholder said actually made sense. Even though there might not be a chance, she should still give it a shot.

Of course, this was just Lin Yijun trying to make herself feel better.

She still didn't believe that it was possible for her to get the project.

After work, Lin Yijun gave Lu Chen a call.

"What time does your job end?" Lin Yijun questioned.

"I went back quite early today, why?" Lu Chen asked.

"It's my father's birthday today, so go get him a present," Lin Yijun remarked.

"Alright. I just fetched Qiqi from school. I will go get it later," Lu Chen assured.

"Wait, forget about it. You wouldn't know what my father likes anyways. I will go with you later," Lin Yijun huffed and ended the call. After tidying her office desk, she left the building.
