Chapter 919 The Best Candidate
The two quickly exchanged the documents they held, and finally understood what was going on.
The shares they previously held had now returned to them!
Zhu Jingye chuckled, "So, you two didn't know about this?"
"At first, I thought only I had it."
As he spoke, Zhu Jingye also produced his own document.
The content was the same as that of Ni Dahai and Pang Laiqing's documents, the only difference being the number of shares and the names listed afterwards.
The shares they originally owned were now back in their hands.
"What… what is going on? Why didn't Chen Yang say anything to us?"
Ni Dahai looked perplexed.
After all, the money Chen Yang had used to purchase these shares was still in their possession.
Now Chen Yang had given the shares back to them without a word. What did this mean?
"Chen Yang just told me at the company that the money should be considered as salary."
"How could I, Zhu Jingye, be worthy of such a high salary?"
"Alas! It seems I'll have to work for Haoneng Construction Group my whole life."
"Don't even think about shirking your responsibilities early. Isn't the money from buying the shares enough for you to live on for a lifetime?"
Ni Dahai and Pang Laiqing exchanged glances, their faces etched with bitterness.
They had privately discussed this matter before. The company now had little to do with them.
Whether it succeeded or not, they were out.
But now it seemed their vision was too narrow.
Chen Yang simply didn't care about this small sum of money!
Wasn't it just returning the shares they had previously bought to them?
If the company succeeded in the future, or went public, their assets would more than double.
It was at this moment that Zhuo Songhu found an opportunity to ask Chen Yang, "This is not a small sum of money. What if they take the money and then don't do their jobs…"
Zhuo Songhu knew very well that Chen Yang had reallocated the shares to Ni Dahai and Pang Laiqing.
He was the one handling this matter!
When he was dealing with this, Zhuo Songhu was very puzzled as to the reason behind such actions.
Haoneng Construction Group was indeed a very large group, but it was not certain that the shares they held were very valuable!
Under Zhou Lihao's control, Haoneng Construction Group had very little profit on its books each year.
The dividends distributed to shareholders were even less.
It was already commendable that Chen Yang could offer market prices to buy the shares.
This was a direct offer of money for them to exit the predicament.
But Chen Yang had also returned their original shares and asked them to continue working. Even as an incentive, it was too much!
"It's not too much. The shares in Zhou Lihao's hands will be taken back sooner or later."
"Moreover, how they are taken back will depend on these three. Saving money on this part alone is considerable."
"Besides, if a few billionaires like them were to personally handle the company's trivial matters without much benefit, would they be so dedicated? They would get tired after a while, and then they'd want to leave."
"But if Haoneng Construction Group can shed the Zhou family's influence, coupled with the current projects, it will reach new heights. At such a crucial juncture, they cannot be without them."
Chen Yang actually had many things he didn't say.
Human hearts are greedy, and greed is not necessarily a bad thing. With positive guidance, it can inspire many benefits.
Chen Yang was not skilled in this area. Su Ya, the actual head of human resources at Yangyangyang Company, was quite adept.
Having led the Tianyi Hall before, Chen Yang had, in a way, been exposed to personnel management. However, even so, it was still very different from true commercial human resources.
Having worked with Su Ya for such a long time, Chen Yang naturally absorbed a lot of commercial management knowledge.
Zhuo Songhu nodded, understanding half of it, and then produced the documents he had prepared.
"This was given to me by Zhu Jingye just now. It contains information about all the managers, big and small, within the group, and the technical backbones of the factory."
"Zhou Lihao's people occupy over forty percent in management. Although there aren't many technical backbones, there are four or five of them."
"Fortunately, the Zhou family's influence is not strong among the frontline workers."
"My suggestion is to replace all of them to prevent any future problems."
"This will also be conducive to the reform of the company's atmosphere going forward."
Although Zhuo Songhu was no longer a shareholder of Haoneng Construction Group, he had become Chen Yang's advisor.
Zhuo Songhu had already guessed that Chen Yang's true target was the Zhou family's assets.
Chen Yang had simply assigned the main task in this area to Zhuo Songhu.
With so many of the Zhou family's industries, Chen Yang couldn't possibly handle them one by one.
Su Ya and Liu Ran also wouldn't have much time.
Given the development speed of Yangyangyang Company, Chen Yang didn't think they would have much time to deal with these small businesses.
The Zhou family's industries were not only complex but also had deep-rooted interests in various regions.
It was also inconvenient for the two young women to show their faces and handle matters.
Zhuo Songhu was the best candidate for this!
Chen Yang took the documents and reviewed them before saying, "If all these people are removed, it will be a significant loss for the company."
"After all, some of them were not brought in by Zhou Lihao, but were required by their positions in the company to lean towards Zhou Lihao."
"Let Zhu Jingye handle it based on the actual situation."
"Even if they have a connection to the Zhou family, as long as their work is not problematic, it's not impossible for them to continue their jobs."
"Haoneng Construction Group is our first step. If every company is handled as you described, there will be huge problems. As long as the company can operate smoothly, their background is not an issue."
Chen Yang indeed wanted to dismantle the Zhou family's commercial empire piece by piece, but his target was the Zhou family. As for those who lived under the Zhou family's protection or had vested interests with them.
Chen Yang didn't intend to do anything to them.
Once he understood Chen Yang's intentions, Zhuo Songhu immediately nodded solemnly, "I understand!"
Chen Yang's actions had truly surprised Zhuo Songhu.
Zhuo Songhu also didn't want to dismiss all these people, as this would be more like severing an arm than scraping bone.
But Zhuo Songhu didn't know Chen Yang's bottom line, so he could only tentatively ask.
Now that he knew the bottom line, it would be easier to formulate the next plan.
Meanwhile, Zhou Lihao had also woken up in the hospital, but before he could even ask about the company's affairs, he was taken away.
