Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 333 New Year Focus_1

Many people think that registering a company in the Cayman Islands is something that wealthy people do to evade taxes, but that’s not the case.

Foreign-capital enterprises still have to pay taxes on their business income in China, and the rich have countless legal ways to minimize taxes without going through such trouble.

The biggest reason why the Cayman Islands are popular is that companies there are not subject to regulation.

Large capital flows are unrestricted, and there is no need to disclose company information, making it relatively convenient for overseas investments.

And that was exactly what Xiao Ming needed.

He had no choice since the majority of his money came from gambling ships, a classic case of dubious funding sources.

In order to prevent others from using it as an excuse to pick the fruit off his tree in the future, he had to take this step.

In the meeting room, amongst the Ruiye directors present, everyone but Cao Zhining knew that Jiang Mukong was Xiao Ming, so they had no objections to his proposal.

Cao Zhining did have some thoughts, but seeing that no one else spoke up, he wisely chose to remain silent.

"Hanqing, you’ve also been away for more than two months, has anything happened with the company?" Xiao Ming then asked Yang Hanqing.

Yang Hanqing smiled and shook his head: "Believe it or not, during this time I was not here, not only did the company operate without any issues, but it also secured three major projects.

I feel like a redundant boss, which is quite disheartening to admit!"

"No need for you there, I still need you over here," Xiao Ming said.

"Leaving me alone over here while you all take off, I’ve got to handle Ruiye Electronics, Wanhai Investment, and my own company—all by myself. I’m practically being worked to death.

And besides, Mister, I was just about to mention that Ye Feihua is now the largest shareholder of Wanhai Investment.

She plans to renegotiate the proportion of shares we each hold and aims to gain a position as a director of Ruiye.

This woman is quite formidable; I’m really struggling to deal with her on my own. If Hanqing could come over to help, that would be great!" Lu Lichun’s voice came from the laptop on the conference table.

"How could you do this to me, Lichun?" a greatly alarmed Yang Hanqing spoke up, "I haven’t wronged you in Lingnan!"

Lu Lichun giggled, "I’m not causing you trouble! You’re dispensable at headquarters, but you can make a big difference here. I have your personal value in mind."

Left speechless, Yang Hanqing could only look at Xiao Ming with a pitiable expression, terrified that he might actually send her away to a place miles apart.

Giving her a reassuring smile, Xiao Ming turned to Lu Lichun and said, "Tell Ye Feihua, at most she could become a director of Ruiye Electronics, but she shouldn’t even dream about getting involved here at the headquarters.

If she disagrees, tell her to divest. That bit of stake in Wanhai doesn’t interest me in the slightest."

"You always speak with such authority, Mister!" Lu Lichun flattered him and then asked, "So, what about sending Hanqing over?"

Xiao Ming smiled wryly, "If I really sent her to Lingnan, it wouldn’t be to help you but to replace you."

"Great, let her come be the CEO, and Mister, you can just find any position for me at the headquarters, I think an assistant to the chairman would be perfectly suitable."

Lu Lichun was outspoken and straightforward, so she dared to say anything, amusing Yun Shi Yu and Zhou Qingyuan, who frowned while Cao Zhining had a strange look on his face and Shen Siyi appeared envious.

Xiao Ming shook his head, "Forget about it. The next few years will be a boom period for the real estate industry; Hanqing will have plenty to do.

As for your side, I have already left you all the development trends and main projects of the controlling companies. You just need to make sure they don’t stray from their paths.

If you can’t even handle this much, then I may really have to reconsider your capabilities."

Lu Lichun sighed, her disappointment and resentment undisguised as she asked, "It’s more than twenty days until the Spring Festival, do I get a holiday?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming knew she wanted to come over. He was about to refuse, but then he had an idea and said, "If you can manage the company’s affairs, I can give you half a month’s holiday."

"Hooray for our eternal leader! Rest assured, I will manage everything as quickly as possible to ensure the company runs smoothly and I will not let you down!"

"Hmm."

Nodding at the elated young woman on the computer screen, Xiao Ming then looked over at Yang Hanqing, Shen Siyi, and Cao Zhining.

"After the New Year, various places around the country will be putting up land for auction. You all need to pay close attention to this information. I have already taken a liking to several plots, and we will strive to secure all of them."

Cao Zhining frowned slightly, "Chairman, I have no doubts about your judgment, but we already have two property projects ready to start, with money pouring out like water. To recoup the investment, it wouldn’t be until the end of the next year at the earliest. freёwebnoѵel.com

Acquiring a large amount of land at this time would put too much pressure on our finances and could easily lead to danger."

"That’s why I just mentioned you, Siyi, and Hanqing. When the time comes, your three companies will form a consortium to secure those lands.

As for the financing part, you don’t have to worry at all. I... Mr. Jiang Mukong has already got it prepared."

"In fact, if the shareholders of Dabang don’t object to further dilution of their shares, Dabang Group could handle this matter entirely on its own.

As long as we successfully acquire those lands, without saying anything else, I can assure you that Dabang will definitely rank among the top tier of domestic real estate companies within a year."

Cao Zhining’s eyes lit up, clearly tempted, but he did not have the same absolute authority in the company as Xiao Ming and could only nod, "Understood, I will call for a shareholder meeting as soon as I get back to discuss Ruiye’s additional investment."

Xiao Ming looked towards Zhou Qingyuan, "Your tasks after the New Year are also crucial.

The two main projects are, one, to reach out to Xinlang in hopes of becoming the major shareholder of it and its upcoming Weibo; the other is Bilibili, try to gain a controlling stake."

After Zhou Qingyuan nodded, Xiao Ming clapped his hands, "Alright, if there are no other issues, then this year’s last board meeting is hereby adjourned!

Meeting is over!

Yu and Qingyuan, stay back for a moment."

Cao Zhining and Shen Siyi immediately got up to leave, and Yang Hanqing angrily picked up her laptop, probably planning to go back and argue with Lu Lichun.

Gu Tinglan, who was responsible for the meeting minutes, looked at Xiao Ming, then at Yun Shi Yu and Zhou Qingyuan, and wisely made her escape under the guise of organizing the notes.

Once the vast conference room quieted down, Xiao Ming pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Ladies, can we agree not to bring personal issues into our work from now on? Although it’s no secret that we’re all close, the board meeting should be a serious occasion.

Our casualness among each other is fine, Siyi can handle it, but Cao Zhining could feel isolated, which is very detrimental to the company’s internal unity.

You both are outstanding in managing business, you should understand this."

Zhou Qingyuan pursed her lips, "Lu Lichun was flirting with you too, why don’t you say anything about her?"

"Chun is in Lingnan and is already the most isolated one."

"Chun? You’re quite affectionate in how you refer to her." Yun Shi Yu snorted coldly, "And who is this Ye Feihua she mentioned just now? You never spoke of her during your time in Lingnan, did you?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, gave up on persuading them, and started to leave in his wheelchair.

"Alright, alright!"

Zhou Qingyuan caught up to him, squatted down by his leg, and said, "We got it, we’ll keep the meetings serious so as not to make things difficult for you from now on. Seriously, you’ve only been away for a short trip, but you’ve returned with no new skills and a much bigger temper. Besides, you deliberately pissed me off at the airport yesterday, and you’ve yet to apologize!"
