"You’ve seen the company’s docunts, so you should know that the current CEO of Hua Group is not one of our Hua family mbers, but Mr. Dalton, Gray."
"But wasn’t he the one Dad brought in as a temporary agent to take care of our group’s affairs?" Ye Lu was shocked.
Because his uncle was not interested in controlling large enterprises and his cousin Hua Lunxi was too young and inexperienced, faced with pressures from various factions within the group, his father, on his deathbed, had hired the renowned Gray Dalton, forr CEO of one of the nation’s top five banks, the United Bank of the Aricas.
"No, this isn’t just a temporary position. It’s about transitioning Hua Group’s family-based managent to a modern enterprise managent system by hiring professional managers with high salaries to take charge, and the family stepping back from core managent to only earn dividends from the group. My uncle did this reluctantly due to internal and external pressures, which forced his hand in making such concessions."
"Is it pressure from the governnt?" Ye Lu asked nervously, having read about Hua Group’s history and knowing the group’s delicate relationship with the governnt in North Arica.
The information technology industry is quite sensitive because it easily involves the information security of citizens and the nation, so the Hua Group has inevitably been under constant governnt surveillance.
Hua Lunxi gave a bitter smile: "That’s right, even with foreigners, there’s the concern that ’those not of our race must have different hearts.’ As a company controlled by Easterners, they are always wary of us. Several national intelligence agencies have been keeping an eye on us, but the Hua Group had provided the joint governnt with a lot of useful intelligence. Therefore, the governnt’s attitude toward our group is both guarded and conciliatory, wanting to preserve the status quo."
Ye Lu’s heart sank. It seed that although Hua Group appeared calm on the surface, there were turbulent waves beneath.
All sorts of forces were engaged in overt and covert struggles, involving the interests of many parties.
Hua Lunxi said solemnly: "On the other hand, because we hold a lot of intelligence information on many large enterprises, my uncle also wanted the group’s developnt to be free from family conflicts. He believed that letting others take control could reduce the various pressures on the Hua Group. But my uncle did this as a last resort."
No one wants to see the enterprise they founded with their own hands ultimately beco a foreigner’s enterprise, with their descendants unable to rule over their own business empire. That’s also why he fought hard to hand over the managent of the European and Asian branches to . However, our most important market in the Aricas is still in the hands of outsiders.
"They are too bullying," Ye Lu had no respect for the Western ways, always trying to step on the Easterners and keep them subordinate in mainstream society.
To think that Hua Group would end up controlled by a group of Westerners was a joke—it was the blood, sweat, and tears of their Hua family.
And the abilities of Easterners were in no way inferior to those of Westerners. Otherwise, how could her father have established such a vast foundation in Western society? Why should they be subordinated?
"However, with that being the case, when I go back, would this Mr. Dalton be willing to kindly give up his position to ?"
"Of course not. That’s why you need to take control of Hua Group, not as an heir but as a formidable competitor, earning support to assu the role through your strength. Mr. Dalton is already preparing to retire, and a successor must be chosen. This is our chance!"
Ye Lu took a deep breath, her eyes burning with a mix of imnse pressure and fierce determination.
She did not want her father’s hard work to beco soone else’s possession.
"Brother, we need to be prepared for this too, don’t we?" She felt they had to do sothing.
