After the Cataclysm, the pharmaceutical industry became the number one money-making industry. Even in a city with a relatively poor population, a pharmaceutical company with the lowest profits could earn at least 10 million yuan per month.
As for the top ten Jing Pharmaceutical Companies, their monthly profits were billions or even tens of billions.
Therefore, the director of the Jing Pharmaceutical Company was already heartbroken when he offered 10% of the shares. It was no different from cutting off his own flesh. In the end, Zhou Hao actually asked for 20%. It was simply like cutting off the bones of the director and shareholders!
“No!”
“20% is too much. Among us shareholders, the director with the largest shares only occupies 35%!”
“That’s right. With 20% of the shares, they’ll basically become the second biggest shareholder. They’ll have too much say.”
The group of shareholders immediately shook their heads and shouted.
If they only had to offer 10% of the shares, they could grit their teeth and make it work. However, if they had to offer 20% of the shares, they would basically suffer a huge loss.
Zhou Hao smiled calmly and said, “Since everyone is unwilling to compensate, let’s close the company and reform it. As for the exact amount of time it will take, it will depend on the city leader’s decision!”
Although the city leader did not know who Zhou Hao was, he said without thinking, “I can’t make the decision. We have to let Commander Zhao decide!”
The city leader decided to shift the burden of responsibility.
The expressions of the director and shareholders of Jing Pharmaceutical Company changed drastically.
They knew Commander Zhao’s ruthless personality very well, especially when it came to pharmaceutical companies like theirs. It was said that they had been dissatisfied with them for a long time. If he was allowed to make the decision, Jing Pharmaceutical Company would probably be shut down indefinitely!
“Fine. We accept!!” The director of Jing Pharmaceutical Company almost cried. Then, he fell to the ground.
The other shareholders also looked grief-stricken.
Zhou Hao smiled.
Xu Ling also smiled and said meaningfully, “It seems that the shareholders of Jing Pharmaceutical Company are all smart people. I believe that with your efforts, the company’s parasites will be eradicated very quickly!”
…
It was almost 12 pm when Zhou Hao and the others returned to the Yang Garden Residence.
Zhou Hao’s parents were still in a daze as they sat on the sofa after receiving 20% of the shares of Jing Pharmaceutical Company.
“Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. The city leader and Bureau leader were both present. The shareholders of the Jing Pharmaceutical Company won’t dare to go back on their word. Tomorrow, I will specially get my father’s legal department to go to your company and help you sign the contract for the shares!” Xu Ling consoled Zhou Hao’s parents as she fetched hot water for them.
Only then did Wang Shuyun return to her senses and say gratefully, “Xu Ling, it’s all thanks to you this time. If not for your help, I’m afraid we would have suffered a fate worse than being imprisoned!”
“Little Hao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank your classmate!”
Xu Ling hurriedly said, “Auntie, there’s no need. Zhou Hao helped me a lot in school. It’s only natural for me to help him back!”
Zhou Xueguo knew about the relationship between his son and Xu Ling. He smiled and said, “Xu Ling, remember to come over often in the future!”
Xu Ling’s face turned red.
Wang Shuyun was experienced. Seeing Xu Ling’s reaction and expression, she immediately knew what was going on and could not stop smiling. “Yes, yes, come and visit us often. Little Hao always talks about you at home.”
Xu Ling’s heart was thumping like a deer. She looked at Zhou Hao and dragged out her words. “Is that so…”
Zhou Hao did not understand for a moment. He scratched his head. “Mom, that’s not true at all! I don’t talk about her at home.”
Wang Shuyun was immediately speechless. She wondered why her smart son had suddenly become stupid and failed to read the room.
“Uncle, auntie, it’s getting late. Zhang Yi and I will go back first. If there’s anything, tell it to Zhou Hao so he can inform us!” Xu Ling glared at Zhou Hao.
This blockhead Zhou Hao was simply too much!
Wang Shuyun and Zhou Xueguo hurriedly nodded. “Alright, be safe on the road.”
After sending Zhang Yi and Xu Ling to the entrance of the residential area, Wang Shuyun watched as they got into a taxi and said in satisfaction, “What a girl! Our Little Hao sure is capable. After all, you were able to get a girl like her.”
Zhou Xueguo sighed and said, “That’s right. She’s smart and willing to help Little Hao. Moreover, she didn’t hesitate to kill Minister Wang back then. She really shocked me. To be able to do this for our Little Hao, it seems like this girl really likes our Little Hao.”
Zhou Hao chuckled.
When Wang Shuyun saw this, she couldn’t help but say, “Little Hao, you have to treat her well in the future. If I find out that you let her down, I won’t let you off easily.”
Zhou Xueguo also reminded, “Your mom is right. A girl like her can’t be found easily. You can’t be careless with her.”
“Got it.” Zhou Hao nodded. He was indeed touched by Xu Ling stepping forward today.
The next morning.
In the Qu City High School training room.
As soon as Zhou Hao entered, he sensed that the students in the training room were looking at him differently.
