Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 998: Give Me a Director Who Knows Everything
"Very fair."

Zhao Fangxu nodded, knowing that his actions had finally had meaning.

That's very kind of you.

It's important to know that Nadutong is a publicly recognized Fortune Global 500 company. The Fortune Global 500 is not calculated based on market capitalization, but on revenue. The minimum threshold for entering the Fortune Global 500 is annual revenue of US$24 billion.

He Songling took away one-eighth of the company's annual profit with just a few words. It sounds like a lot, but if a different shareholder were involved, it could lead to a rebellion and a chain reaction that could cause the entire company and even the entire industry chain to collapse.

But considering that initial investment accounted for nearly 90% of NaDuTong's total revenue, asking for only one-eighth of your annual revenue is not only fair, but practically a free gift.

Even taking into account the policy support at the time, it could be converted into shares. He Songling's wealth would account for more than 60% of the shares. If he acquired some more scattered shares, he would be the absolute controlling shareholder. As long as it was within the scope of the law, he could do whatever he wanted.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Fangxu had always been very sensible, He Songling would have simply taken the entire Na Du Tong company. Even if he split it up and sold the shares at a discount, he would have made at least 30 to 50 billion yuan.
"But the problem is, there isn't one."

Zhao Fangxu began to explain to He Songling that although Na Du Tong was ostensibly a completely private enterprise, a joint-stock company, all shareholders were actually subordinate to those above them. Their annual revenue and funds were basically all reinvested, leaving very little money.

"I'll give it to you in installments; nobody asked you to give it all at once. Besides, you all know I was shortchanged financially. So, I have a few additional requests."

He Songling didn't expect this thing to be like buying things at a convenience store, where you can exchange money for goods on the spot. Nowhere does it that way. As long as you can pay off the principal and interest within the stipulated time, that's fine. Many large companies are doing financial business, and that's how it works.

"What are your demands?" Zhao Fangxu wasn't afraid of He Songling asking for money now. He would give him money if he wanted it, and even if he didn't have any, he would find a way to get it. The only difficulty and problem was "money." But if He Songling pulled any more tricks, the things he would have to deal with would increase dramatically.

“Nadutong can continue to exist, and I don’t have to take over Nadutong completely, but give me a board position. I want to be a director of Nadutong.”

"No problem, our company, Na Du Tong, is a purely listed private enterprise. Your shareholding percentage is sufficient for you to be a director." Zhao Fangxu glared and lied. Just now, he was saying that He Songling's shareholding would be cashed out and given to Wang Ye and Jin Yuanyuan's old company. What shares did He Songling hold? Pure phantom stock?

"Secondly, your cooperation with Tangmen and Trinity University needs to be expanded. I need you to increase your investment in this area by at least 30% every year, and then increase it to at least 50% within five years."

“Easy.” Zhao Fangxu was like a wish-granting machine, agreeing with every suggestion He Songling made: “When you’re a director too, we can hold a board meeting on this matter. With you and me on board, we can still find a way to get all those people to agree to this decision.”

Zhao Fangxu's words were practically saying that we could do whatever we wanted anywhere.

"You?" He Songling glanced at Zhao Fangxu. "Old Zhao, as far as I know, you seem to be being impeached by your subordinates. Do you think you can keep your position?"
Although my business partner back then also had the surname Zhao, and was known as Chairman Zhao, you know, Zhao is a very common surname, and you're not his son. I also didn't have much of a relationship with you, so I wouldn't step in to protect you.

"No need, I have my own ways." Zhao Fangxu couldn't deal with He Songling and his wife, but he could easily handle his subordinates. In fact, his high-profile actions before were precisely to provoke the dissatisfaction of these directors. These people harbored their disloyalty and secretly used the rules to make underhanded moves against him, so Zhao Fangxu really couldn't deal with them directly.

Over the years, even though he knew that some directors were not on his side and even colluded with forces such as Yaoxing Society and Nathan Island, communicating with foreign countries and secretly sending supplies everywhere, he still didn't have a good solution. That's just how it was.

This time, thanks to He Songling's incident, he's given them a huge shock, forcing all those who were secretly plotting against him to come out into the open. Who has Zhao Fangxu ever been afraid of? Putting aside everything else, he's confident he can completely control even if those directors from All-Tong Company unite.

I've already said it, I, Old Zhao, am the master of enlightenment!
The same applies now; Zhao Fangxu can continue to use He Songling's name to exert influence. He claims he wants He Songling to join forces with him to subdue the entire Na Du Tong, but what he actually wants is to join forces with He Songling and use He Songling's status and influence to solidify his own position as the top leader.

When Zhao Fangxu submits his report, he will write that "he was the first to realize that winning over He Songling had epoch-making significance, while the other directors, in their mistaken view of the existence of the 'immortal' and the variables that it might bring, passively adopted a confrontational approach." His position will be as secure as a mountain.

In this respect, he should thank He Songling.

"Hey, that's all."

In fact, He Songling originally had some requests to make, but seeing how confident Zhao Fangxu was, and considering that the two of them working together could indeed dominate everything in Na Du Tong and basically do whatever they wanted, there was no need to make any other requests. They could simply give the orders to Na Du Tong when they wanted to do something.

The matter was resolved just like that; in fact, even He Songling himself hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

After all, the benefits they reaped were enormous. Not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars, even just the 3 billion dollars that He Songling had Na Du Tong convert into cash was a world apart from what ordinary people could ever dream of.

Not to mention that in addition to material interests, there is also "power".

No matter what, Na Du Tong has powerful backers, and He Songling is prepared to go toe-to-toe with the directors of Na Du Tong, a battle that could potentially last for several years. His original plan was to first accomplish some practical things in the world of supernatural beings.

Once the matter is accomplished and the superiors see the advantages and disadvantages in the comparison, they will be able to decide to abandon Allway and instead support their own side.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fangxu, this fat man, was indeed quite capable. He managed to suppress these people in advance, turning Na Du Tong into a one-man operation for the two of them—or rather, his own.

Taking over an established institution and position is always easier than smashing it down and starting from scratch.

Just as He Songling was about to pull his wife away, Zhao Fangxu said, "You and we are fine, but we still have things to do with you."
