"It is for these reasons that Vice President Chen, several directors, and I unanimously believe that investing in Tiansheng Electronics as our next major project would be a relatively safe bet!" Feng Yueyue announced the result of their deliberations, and Zhang Hua, sitting beside her, couldn’t help but slowly nod.
They had already discussed the matter at length, and all the details were aligned; this was rely going through the motions. As long as the board of directors passed it, everything would proceed in an orderly fashion. That’s how it had always been.
"I don’t think that’s appropriate..."
Just then, an untily voice rang out, causing everyone present to freeze. They turned their heads in surprise, completely shocked that Chen Zheng would suddenly speak up and express an opinion.
Especially Zhang Hua and the few senior mbers, whose expressions filled with dissatisfaction. What a bold move. Despite holding a ten percent share, he’s still an outsider. Doesn’t he know whether he’s even entitled to speak here? And yet he dares to express an opinion? Isn’t he just asking for embarrassnt?
"Mr. Chen, although you are a shareholder, you are not a mber of the board of directors. It seems you are not qualified to speak here, are you?" Zhang Hua looked at him aningfully, his gaze full of mockery.
A chorus of dissent rose. "Exactly! Can you even understand the stock market?"
"You think it’s inappropriate? Do you even grasp what this involves? How shaless..."
"He doesn’t even consider if the occasion is right before speaking. Are people all like this nowadays?"
The faces of the others present filled with disdain. At the Feng Family’s ho, Chen Zheng was a guest, and they had no objections. But this was a shareholder eting for the group’s top executives. For a layman to even be sitting here is already a huge favor, and he still wants to voice his opinion?
"Mr. Chen, if you have any different ideas, feel free to share them. We can all discuss them together!" Feng Yueyue said, appearing a bit surprised but speaking up out of respect.
In reality, she didn’t quite understand. Although Chen Zheng seed to have so background with the military, he had never shown any business acun before.
"In my view, among the current stocks, Soxi has the most potential, far exceeding Tiansheng Electronics!" Chen Zheng declared.
"Soxi?" Feng Yueyue frowned deeply.
"Mr. Chen, you should have seen today’s trend chart. Their stock price has been falling continuously; it’s on the verge of collapse!" Zhang Hua said, his face full of scorn. "Anyone who understands the most basic principles should know not to touch such a volatile stock. And yet you say it has the most potential?"
Chen Zheng slowly shook his head. In such a setting, everyone had the right to express their opinion, and he saw no reason to quibble.
"Soxi represents a new industry. Although it has seed unstable these past few days, that’s just normal behavior. Once this phase is over, it will rise rapidly!" Chen Zheng asserted confidently, looking at the trend chart.
"A true layman enjoying the spectacle, bold enough to say anything!" a middle-aged man sneered. "Mr. Chen, seeing how much of a layman you are, allow to enlighten you with so professional knowledge.
"Whether a stock goes up depends on the actions of the big players. I’m sure I don’t need to spell out for everyone here who the big players are right now! If you want to make money investing in Hua Country, you have to follow the governnt’s policies!"
The middle-aged man glanced aningfully at Chen Zheng before continuing, "You might not be aware, but Tiansheng Electronics is a company heavily supported by the municipal governnt! It has developed very well over the past two years and has beco a pillar of Jiangnan’s industry. You can see from market trends that its stock has been rising very steadily these past few days!
"anwhile, the Soxi you’re so interested in is nearly at a standstill! I can tell you right now, that stock is just for fleecing retail investors. The real strength lies in the brick-and-mortar industries!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. The analysis was very compelling. As expected of Vice President Wang, a senior veteran of the group. He spoke with such authority and his argunts were so well-founded. When it cos to understanding the stock market, presumably no one here can surpass him.
Even Feng Yueyue, sitting at the head of the table, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. Even if Father were here himself, he would undoubtedly choose Tiansheng Electronics. The period of high returns is over; it’s better to play it safe!
"Your thinking is too rigid and no longer fits the current market!" Chen Zheng stated with utmost confidence. "I can also tell you explicitly that Soxi is the most suitable investnt and has far more potential!"
The crowd was stunned. Vice President Wang’s analysis had been perfectly on point, and no one could find any fault with it. They never expected Chen Zheng to still insist on his own opinion.
"Mr. Chen, Vice President Wang just made things perfectly clear. Unless you can provide a reasonable explanation, we can only assu you’re trying to cause trouble!" Zhang Hua said impatiently. The others were equally annoyed, convinced Chen Zheng was simply making a scene. Worst of all... the guy has no self-awareness and actually thinks he’s so kind of expert!
"You’re only seeing the surface!" Chen Zheng shook his head. "The electronics industry has already entered a plateau. The opportunity for high returns is gone, but new industries are now erging. I estimate the ti is ripe. If you don’t believe , just watch when the market opens in a mont. There will be a massive influx of capital!
"Soxi’s stock will be completely bought out!" he stated with utmost confidence.
The crowd was dumbfounded. They glanced at their watches; it was almost one o’clock, the ti for the afternoon market session to begin.
But Zhang Hua sneered, "Mr. Chen, I don’t know where you’re getting your information or why you’re so confident, but the market is about to open. Aren’t you afraid of humiliating yourself?"
"Whether I lose face is aningless. I’m just stating a fact," Chen Zheng replied calmly.
Zhang Hua was suddenly incensed, his competitive spirit piqued. A cold smirk touched his lips. "Mr. Chen, since you trust your own judgnt so much, how about we make a bet? If things turn out as you say, I’ll give you all of my shares. But if you’re wrong, you will return all of your shares. How about it?"
