Novel Bin Chapter 31
Chapter 31: Jiang Feng Wanted to Be a Hands-Off Boss
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Feng’s proposal had exceeded his wildest fantasies. He was an entrepreneur and the boss of a company, so he had been involved in finance and investments for many years. He knew very well that there were few people with a conscience in this industry. People in finance wanted to take all the money in everyone’s pockets, and anyone who could take money from him would never let go of a single cent!
Jiang Feng had actually suggested giving him 10% of the company’s shares! What kind of behavior was this? This move made him feel extremely shocked and puzzled. Although this company wasn’t big, 10% of the shares were worth at least tens of millions. And now, Jiang Feng had just handed the shares to him.
Even though Jiang Feng had proposed to let him stay, he still couldn’t understand. After all, even if Jiang Feng didn’t give him a single cent and still asked him to continue working there, he would be willing to sign the contract. Given his current predicament, Jiang Feng couldn’t ask for too much! If a blood-sucking capitalist came to buy the company, they would even take away most of his property, and he would have to silently agree to this unreasonable proposal. Right now, he had no room for maneuvers at all!
But Jiang Feng did not do that. Instead, he gave him the right to continue being the president of the company and even offered him 10% of the shares. This shocked him greatly, as it was simply free profit for him!
“Alright, Brother Jiang. I agree!”
Zhang Qidong’s face was full of excitement. Without any hesitation, he decisively agreed to Jiang Feng’s proposal and then immediately corrected the contract so they could finally sign it!
When the two of them signed the contract, Cinda’s high-level structure was completely changed. Jiang Feng used to be a small employee with a monthly salary of 6,000. At the moment, he was holding 90% of the company’s equity, which made him the company’s big boss. Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong, who had been in charge of the company for more than 10 years, now became Jiang Feng’s employee!
This dramatic change had occurred too quickly and was too shocking! As he looked at the contract, Zhang Qidong had mixed feelings in his heart. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, still had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he was not very excited about this.
Holding the contract, Jiang Feng sat on the chair, his eyes staring ahead, as though he was a little absent-minded. That was because the system’s voice had suddenly spoken in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations for successfully acquiring the company. You have received your reward!]
Upon looking at the reward in his mind, Jiang Feng immediately used it. Then, a complete live map appeared in front of him. After taking over the company, the most important thing was investing in Zhang Qidong. At that moment, Jiang Feng was staring at the trend chart and checking the situation. He wanted to see what kind of decision he had to make regarding this investment.
Zhang Qidong, who was standing beside the desk, looked at Jiang Feng, who was leaning on the chair in a daze. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Jiang Feng had only been working for his company for a little over half a year. He was one of the employees he had personally interviewed, and he still remembered his impression of him. He had thought that he was just a good student and employee, but he had never thought that he would actually be a tycoon in the making. He had been so young, only in his early twenties, and he had just graduated from school.
Thinking back, Zhang Qidong could not help laughing at himself. At the time, Jiang Feng had started working for the company. After half a year, he had been very excited to receive a few hundred yuan as a bonus. Jiang Feng, who was now sitting there, had bought the company for 100 million yuan, yet he was still so calm. Even now, he should still be thrilled about doing such a thing!
‘I really don’t know which family this young man is from. His courage and foresight are extraordinary!’ Zhang Qidong sighed, speculating about Jiang Feng’s background in his mind.
If it was not for today’s incident, he might never have known that such a genius was hiding in his company. This position had been his for more than ten years, but now it belonged to someone else. His feelings were extremely complicated. In the past, he had owned 100% of the shares of the company, and everything had been up to him. Jiang Feng had been just an employee who obeyed his orders. As long as he was told something, Jiang Feng would have to do it.
But now, the person sitting in this chair was not his employee, a young man over 20 years younger than him. Instead, Zhang Qidong had become an employee who had to obey his orders. As long as Jiang Feng ordered him to do something, he would have to do it! This huge difference made him sigh. But even so, his heart was still full of respect and gratitude for Jiang Feng. After all, Jiang Feng had saved him. He had been standing by the window, ready to jump down, before Jiang Feng had rescued him.
As Zhang Qidong thought about it, his gaze moved to the window again. When he looked at the window, a shadow appeared in his heart. He had started this business more than ten years ago. In the end, his success and failure had come down to pork! 15 years ago, he had invested in a wholesale pork business for the first time. It had earned him his first bucket of gold and opened a pathway to heaven for him. 15 years later, he had invested in pork again. He had thought he had studied it thoroughly enough, but in the end, his investment had failed.
Even now, he still felt that his analysis was right. He believed that the price of pork would definitely rise, but the truth had left him speechless anyway. In the past few days, he had invested tens of millions of dollars, but in the end, he hadn’t made a profit. This time, he could only admit that he had made the wrong choice.
Reality had slapped him so hard that it had nearly killed him! The despair he had felt while standing by the window was still present in his eyes. If Jiang Feng had come a minute later, he would probably have made the afternoon news headlines in Shanghai. Jiang Feng had saved him and given him a chance to stay in his position. Zhang Qidong understood that Jiang Feng wanted to be a hands-off boss. By having him take over, Jiang Feng could continue to do his own thing and move on to bigger things. Zhang Qidong understood all this.
But at the same time, he also understood that Jiang Feng was giving him 10% of the shares because he trusted him. Zhang Qidong truly felt that he was a courageous, farsighted person. Besides, he was not heartless. Since Jiang Feng had chosen to believe in him, he would definitely take the company’s development more seriously in the future. Although he only had 10% of the shares, he still had to run a bigger and better company for Jiang Feng. Because, in his opinion, this was the best way to repay Jiang Feng for saving his life! As Zhang Qidong thought about it, he silently took an oath in his heart.
...
While both of them were lost deep in thought, suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door.
“Director Zhang!”
Jiang Feng heard the voice and realized the person outside the door was financial director Song Yaozhong.
