In the eting room, there were four people seated, including Mu Li.
Apart from Mu Li, the other three people were shareholders of Heavenly Palace Group. Each of them held shares, but if combined, they had enough to rival Mu Li.
Another reason Mu Li had to respect them was that, although they seed to hold personal shares, they were backed by many invisible supporters.
So of these supporters were long-term clients of Heavenly Palace Group, while others were infiltrations by various capital conglorates.
Overall, their components and relationships were so complicated that even Mu Li might not fully understand them. But one thing was certain: these three people held significant influence among the small shareholders with scattered equity.
In other words, if Mu Li wanted to implent her idea of closely cooperating with Zhou Wang, she needed to win these three people over.
This was why Mu Li took advantage of tonight’s yacht party to invite all three.
She was confident that the newly drafted agreent could persuade Zhou Wang, but the premise was that these three attendees would agree.
Regarding the "transformation" of Heavenly Palace Group, out of the three, apart from the recently speaking middle-aged man, which is Heavenly Palace Group’s second-largest shareholder Wang Chengyun, the other two shareholders, Xiong Min and Ma Jun, were actually in favor.
In so prior groundwork by Mu Li, they had discussed this issue whenever they t.
After all, they’ve made enough money long ago. Nowadays, Heavenly Palace Group could sustain smooth operations just by relying on those industries on the surface, even if the profits were slightly weaker than before.
If given a choice, who would willingly continue doing those nerve-wracking dealings?
Among the four major shareholders, only Wang Chengyun sneered at the issue of "transformation."
On one hand, this was because Wang Chengyun mainly managed business in Hong Kong Island and Ao Island, and due to the unique nature of these regions, so things were unavoidable; he had long been accustod to them.
Moreover, most of his profits ca from Heavenly Palace Group’s gray industries. If these businesses were cut off, he’d have nothing left.
Although Mu Li spoke nicely, promising more funds to support legitimate businesses in these two cities, and wouldn’t entirely abandon past businesses, with retained parts still held and his equity in the group unshrunken, but...
Wang Chengyun didn’t believe a word of her nonsense.
He had joined Heavenly Palace Group long ago, witnessing Mu Li gradually taking over her aunt’s business, mastering the entire group from scratch.
He knew that this woman, whose words always seed gentle and warm, had non-peaceful thods behind the scenes, and due to accumulated tension between them, if she resolved the entire group’s reform, he might end up being marginalized completely.
In previous discussions, Wang Chengyun hadn’t made much of a statent because he thought Mu Li was purely fantasizing.
Everyone knew what founded Heavenly Palace Group, saying it could be whitewashed—if that were possible, wouldn’t it have already been done?
And Mu Li seed to know that herself, so previous propositions weren’t firm.
But Wang Chengyun never expected Mu Li to suddenly produce a formal agreent, confidently claiming that if they agreed to sign it, Heavenly Palace Group could embark on its pre-defined developnt path.
Why?
"Mr. Wang, you know . I never joke at tis like these."
Facing Wang Chengyun’s skepticism, Mu Li just smiled lightly, "Daring to show you people this agreent sample ans I already have so assurance."
"President Mu, wait a mont. Let digest this..."
Before Wang Chengyun could speak coldly, another woman, ranked third among shareholders, couldn’t help but raise her hand and voice her skepticism.
"You an, as long as we reach a so-called deep cooperation with Zhou Wang, Mr. Zhou, as stated in your agreent, giving him 18% of the group shares for free, along with a yacht worth 560 million and a large flat luxury ho in Shenzhen Bay No. 1 worth 150 million..."
At this point, Xiong Min felt a hint of absurdity, but she quickly steadied her mind and continued:
"He can lead Heavenly Palace Group into virtuous developnt, with even a potential listing in the future?"
"Yes."
Mu Li nodded, indicating Xiong Min’s understanding was correct.
"But, this Mr. Zhou... how is President Mu sure he has such capabilities? If I didn’t see wrong, the material shows he’s just in his early twenties?"
"All other information about him is in the attachnt’s brief data. Sister Min can look again."
"I’ve already read it three tis, and that’s precisely why I don’t understand."
Xiong Min smiled wryly, "Yes, based on what’s shown in the material, he’s indeed remarkable for his age, having built so many businesses at such a young age...but I didn’t find what I wanted to see."
"Does he have any elders serving in Beidou?"
At this mont, the fourth shareholder, usually silent Ma Jun, spoke up and asked.
His question was subtle, but the other two understood his aning.
Mu Li had so deep connections in Beidou, which, despite not being enough to sustain Heavenly Palace Group’s unwavering standing, could help during critical monts. So following Ma Jun’s question, they unconsciously conjured associations.
Could Zhou Wang be a descendant of so upper echelon family?
If so, it all seed to make sense.
No wonder Mu Li was so confident in him.
Yet, after a brief silence, Mu Li shook her head, "No... as far as I know, he’s just a native of Yunan Province, achieving today purely on his own rit."
The three, upon hearing this, looked at each other in bafflent.
Of course, Mu Li knew her words lacked any persuasion, but without Zhou Wang’s consent, she couldn’t reveal the other’s secrets about Cloud Group, so she felt troubled and had to resort to so roundabout thods to try and convince them.
"Are you familiar with the recently popular ’Little Blue Bottle’ in certain circles? That’s also his business..."
"I’ve truly heard of that."
Xiong Min’s eyes brightened imdiately, "So President Mu ans that what we’re exchanging is actually the stock of ’Little Blue Bottl’ pharmacy. If the rumors about its longevity effect are true, then such cooperation isn’t out of the question..."
Wang Chengyun and Ma Jun seed sowhat interested.
Although Little Blue Bottle wasn’t officially listed yet, its marketing within niche circles had begun—sothing that any top figure couldn’t resist.
If participating ant a share of the pie, it would indeed be imnsely lucrative.
However, after hesitating, Mu Li chose to tell the truth: "What we can exchange with Mr. Zhou is rely his stock in Wangzhou Group, yet the pharmaceutical company of ’Little Blue Bottle’ may not be included."
"Mu... President, are you crazy?"
Wang Chengyun finally reached his limit, holding back from directly calling Mu Li by na, but he stood up and said angrily, "So you’re saying you’d give away Heavenly Palace Group’s equity for free for a vague hope without any concrete promises?"
"I don’t know who this Mr. Zhou is, even if he’s as impressive as you say, but personally, I think truthfully cooperating with those families in Hong Kong Island is the only way out."
Hearing Wang Chengyun’s sudden change in tone, Mu Li beca instantly alert regarding his previous suggestions.
"Mr. Wang, what do you an by that...?"
"aning?" Wang Chengyun sneered, "Do you think the young master from the Huo family, the second from the Li family, and President Huang... why are they on board today? I’m not afraid to tell you, I’ve already given them so private promises."
