Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 253 - 161: Requesting Mr. Yang to Facilitate the Merger of Two Clubs
...
It seems that the customers are also deeply affected by the rivalry between the two clubs and wish for Jinhai and Jinying to merge again.
Actually, their thoughts are understandable. If Jinhai and Jinying merge, they can enjoy a vast area of thousands of acres, which is far better than enjoying the services of only Jinying Club.
Li Jinying quickly replied, "This matter is too significant; let me think it over. Everyone, continue enjoying yourselves; I’ll go handle this."
Yang Chen put down his golf club and said, "I’ll go check it out too. If possible, I will strive to promote the merger of the two clubs."
The customers immediately became excited.
"Mr. Yang, you must put in effort!"
"Not to mention, Mr. Yang owns 30% of shares in each club; he is most likely to facilitate the merger!"
"We’ve long wanted the two clubs to merge, to avoid their constant harassment of each other. If Mr. Yang can facilitate the merger, we’ll definitely support you wholeheartedly."
"Indeed, indeed, we can use card cancellation as a threat, cooperating with Yang Chen to facilitate the merger! Everyone, what do you think?"
"Hey, this idea is great! I’ll make a call to my friend; he’s a member of the Jinhai Club. I’ll ask him to rally everyone on that side to also demand card cancellations, assisting Mr. Yang with the merger of the two clubs!"
...
Wow, Yang Chen was just thinking about using some tactics to create a crisis for both clubs, and then seize the opportunity to propose a merger.
Now, it seems he doesn’t need to trouble his mind; the customers will spontaneously create a crisis.
Saying and doing, Yang Chen smiled and said, "Alright! With your enthusiasm, I’m getting enthusiastic as well. Let’s move separately; I’ll stabilize both sides, while you contact the customers on the Jinhai side to demand card cancellations, giving me a reason to gather the shareholders of both clubs to discuss the merger."
The customers nodded and quickly took out their phones to call friends on the Jinhai Club side to discuss strategies.
Yang Chen headed towards the conflict point with Cheng Junjun and others.
Zhang Yuxin: "Brother Chen, you’re amazing. Actually, employees from both clubs also wish for a merger; we’re sick of fighting back and forth. But the bosses instructed us to deliberately stir up trouble with the other side, and to make a living, we had to follow suit. If Brother Chen can facilitate the merger, employees, customers, and other shareholders will surely appreciate you. The only concern is whether the boss and her brother can put their differences aside and let the two clubs become one again."
Yang Chen: "It’s merely a feud over inheritance, not some deep-seated hatred. When the opportunity matures, they will surely reconcile. By the way, does your boss have a husband and children?"
Zhang Yuxin: "No! She put all her energy into managing the club to prove she’s stronger than her brother and hasn’t had time for personal matters. She’s 42 this year, and if she doesn’t marry soon, she might really miss the chance."
No marriage, no children, that makes it easier.
If she were married and had children, she likely wouldn’t be willing to merge.
After all, who wouldn’t want to pass on what they’ve worked for to their children?
Soon, they arrived at the conflict point.
This conflict is pretty severe; several people are injured.
However, it seems Jinhai Club came prepared, with everyone carrying weapons.
Jinying Club is evidently on the defensive, bare-handed, and bound to suffer badly.
Li Jinying shouted, "Call your boss!"
Jinhai Club employees had indifferent expressions.
"Our boss is out, away."
"It’s not a big deal, why call our boss?"
"Your employee provoked us first; we are merely defending ourselves."
...
If they weren’t all holding clubs and bats, people might almost believe them.
Li Jinying: "Enough talk, call Li Jinhai over immediately!"
"The boss isn’t here; we told you, didn’t we?"
"Right! The boss left; if you don’t believe it, you can call and ask him yourself."
...
Li Jinying immediately called Li Jinhai.
Li Jinying: "Your employees have injured my employees; come over here quickly!"
Li Jinhai replied nonchalantly, "It’s not the first time this has happened; last time your employees injured mine, and you didn’t show up then. Now you’re anxious because it’s your loss? I’m busy, playing outside."
Yang Chen gestured for Li Jinying to give him the phone, and Li Jinying quickly obliged.
Yang Chen: "Hello, is this President Li Jinhai?"
Li Jinhai: "Yes, it’s me. Who are you?"
Yang Chen: "Yang Chen."
Li Jinhai: "Ah, President Yang! Wait, why are you with Li Jinying?"
Yang Chen: "I was golfing here and happened to see the employees from both clubs fighting. President Li, you should come over; some situations need resolving, avoidance won’t work."
Li Jinhai: "Well... okay. I’ll come right over; President Yang, please wait for me a bit."
Actually, Li Jinhai wasn’t out; he was in his office playing games.
Yang Chen recently acquired 30% of shares; disregarding Li Jinying’s face, he still had to respect Yang Chen.
Li Jinhai quickly arrived at the conflict scene, pretending not to know what was going on, and said, "What’s happening here? Why are they fighting again? Didn’t I say not to fight?"
"President Li, it’s not like we wanted to fight; they initiated it."
"Exactly! Look, my face is swollen from being hit; it’s too brutal. The brothers had to defend me and retaliate reluctantly."
"This time, the fault lies with the Jinying side, not us at Jinhai."
...
Jinying Club employees immediately retorted.
"You’re talking nonsense! Would I hit you if you didn’t insult me?"
"Your mouths talk like they’ve eaten shit; isn’t that asking for a beating?"
"You came prepared, brought weapons, deliberately insulted us, provoked us to hit, and then used weapons against us."
...
Yang Chen roughly understood the situation, actually Jinhai was prepared, intentionally angering Jinying to act first, then defending with weapons they brought.
In this way, they could stand on the moral high ground, and Jinying would suffer without justice.
Previously, when the two clubs clashed, they both used their own ways to clean up afterward.
Because they both had dirty hands, if it goes to the police, no side will end well; they’d all get arrested.
If it goes legal, nobody would gain.
In this short time, Yang Chen gained a general understanding of the situation between the two clubs. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Li Jinhai promptly approached Yang Chen to shake hands and greet him.
"Hello, President Yang. President Yang looks even more handsome than his photos! Let’s go talk in the office; leave this to others to handle."
Yang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Is that so, President Li feels that cracking someone’s head open is a minor issue? Do you siblings know what negative impact this will have on both clubs? I spent so much money acquiring shares in both clubs, not for you to mess things up like this."
The scene immediately fell silent.
What’s going on?
This person, who just acquired a 30% equity stake, is actually issuing a challenge to the major shareholders of both clubs simultaneously?
Is he too bold?
An executive challenging major shareholders, who gave him the courage?
