Chapter 199: Dividing the Cake

Whether Donghua Zhenren knew or not, he didn't know on the surface.

You have to keep your face bright and not be stained with the slightest bit of dust.

It has always been subordinates who take the blame for their superiors, and there is no reason for subordinates to let their superiors take the blame.

There is no way to talk about this.

Colleagues had to reminisce: "We really have no choice. Yujing's expenses are so high, and the silver is so little. We are very embarrassed. We also know that we can't do embezzlement, so we have to find another way. After thinking about it, it is still reliable to do business, so we think about buying some hall property. Since it is hall property, it is not anyone's private property, and it is not considered abuse of power for personal gain, and no one can say it is wrong."

Of course, this statement cannot be taken seriously, it is just to give both parties a way out. If it is really so open and aboveboard, why didn't Donghua Zhenren know?

Qi Xuansu didn't want to offend these old colleagues. This time he fought with Wang Jiaohe, and Ziwei Hall helped. Even if he didn't care about the friendship of his old colleagues, he had to repay this favor.

The reason why he brought up Donghua Zhenren was, to put it bluntly, to lower these people's expectations, that is, to lower the price, so that they would not ask for too much. At the same time, Qi Xuansu also pointed out the risks involved. Without Donghua Zhenren's endorsement, Donghua Zhenren would not admit it in the future. If he really wanted to investigate, Qi Xuansu would have nothing to say.

Qi Xuansu finally gave in and chose to make a concession, not to hold on to the end.

To put it bluntly, I can give you what you want, but I don't have to give it.

In this way, Qi Xuansu lowered the price, gave face to his old colleagues, and asked these old colleagues to owe him a favor.

Qi Niang said that there should not only be superiors and subordinates, but also allies. How to establish a reliable alliance relationship? Rely on loyalty? That's a Jianghu person. Of course, it depends on interests. There are two specific interests, one is power and the other is money, and you have to choose one.

This created Qi Xuansu's style, half black and half white, otherwise why would he be named "Xuansu". If he was white, he should be called Qi Su, and if he was black, he should be called Qi Xuan. But his name is Xuansu.

As for the principle issue, Qi Xuansu also considered it. To restructure the Nanyang United Trading Company, those who can participate must be powerful people. Ordinary people are not qualified to reach out. This distribution is actually an "internal fight", an internal fight between meat eaters.

No matter how Qi Xuansu divides it, he can't jump out of this framework. If Qi Xuansu does something more outrageous, then change someone else to handle this matter.

The reason why Qi Xuansu can shake Borneo is because there are people behind him who want to shake Borneo. Who can he shake by himself? Chen Shuhua alone took him down. So Qi Xuansu is far from doing whatever he wants.

If Qi Xuansu doesn't listen, then change someone who is obedient to come up, Wang Jiaohe's previous experience. The reality is like this. As long as Qi Xuansu wants to move up, he must compromise.

Of course, Qi Xuansu also has selfishness. He doesn't build a memorial archway for himself. He has to consider his own future. On the premise of ensuring himself, he will consider others. If he really wants to be selfless and saintly, he has not yet realized it.

But then again, Qi Xuansu has made much progress compared to the past. Realization is like status, which is always rising step by step, not easy to reach the sky in one step.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu had an in-depth discussion on how to distribute.

Zhang Yuelu meant that such a large company cannot be managed by private hands. To prevent illegal activities such as slave trade, the Taoist sect should also hold shares, preferably 50% of the shares, to have absolute control.

Qi Xuansu opposed the idea. First, after two wars, the Taoist sect’s finances did not support too much involvement. Second, too much involvement by the Taoist sect would inevitably lead to a series of personnel problems, which might not be a good thing.

In the end, the two reached a compromise in their opinions. The Taoist sect could be introduced, but it would not hold an absolute share, would not directly participate in the operation and management, and would only send representatives to exercise supervision.

The two drafted a relevant plan, with the Borneo Daofu as the major shareholder, holding 30% of the shares, and the remaining 70% would be competed by various parties. According to their different backgrounds and backers, some are directly appointed, while others need competition.

For example, Qi Xuansu promised Ziweitang 5% of the shares, which is half of the shares. Qi Muyu also has 5% of the shares, so these two families have 10% of the shares.

Nanting Protectorate has another 10% of the shares. It is not just that Qi Xuansu is returning the favor, but also the instruction from above. It is related to the overall situation. The court is not a monolithic entity. For example, Qin Quanyi stands on Qi Xuansu's side, and those who should be won over should still be won over.

70% has gone 20%, leaving only 50%.

The remaining 50% is not easy to divide among so many people.

Qi Niang is busy and involved in suppressing Chen Shuhua. Should we divide it? Of course we should. Qi Niang also represents the Yao family. So Qi Xuansu directly gave 20% to Qi Niang.

This is not a small number. It is the second largest shareholder after Borneo Daofu. However, this also includes the Pei family. Qi Xuansu did not take care of the Pei family on the surface, but took care of the Pei family through Ziweitang and Yao family.

Qiniang will not participate directly, nor will she participate in the name of Qibaofang and Yao family. She set up a small company called "Fenglinzhou Trading Company", referred to as "Fenglin Company". Qiniang holds 65% of the shares, Pei Xiaoyun holds 30% of the shares, and Huanji holds 5%. Fenglin Company holds 20% of the shares of Nanyang United Trading Company. They will then distribute the 20% shares of Nanyang United Trading Company according to the number of shares they hold in Fenglinzhou Trading Company.

After conversion, it is equivalent to Qi Niang holding 13% of the shares of Nanyang United Trade Company, Pei Xiaoyun holding 6% of the shares of Nanyang United Trade Company, and Huan Ji holding 1% of the shares of Nanyang United Trade Company.

This has an advantage. Only Fenglin Company can come forward at the shareholders' meeting, and Qi Niang has absolute control over Fenglin Company. In other words, Qi Niang only has 13% of the shares, but has the right to speak for 20% of the shares.

Who is Pei Xiaoyun? You can tell by looking at the name.

As for Huan Ji, Qi Xuansu supported her, but he did not take a penny from Huan Ji. He only had one request, that if he had any action, Huan Ji should strongly support him. For example, Qi Xuansu wanted to transform Guijian Lake, which was beneficial to his political achievements, but the benefits were not much, and he could only barely make back the investment. Others were unwilling to do it. At this time, Huan Ji should take the initiative to stand up and do it even if she lost money. The money would not go into Qi Xuansu's pocket, but would still be used for the real business.

Only 30% was left.

Fortunately, the Zhang family and the Li family did not participate. This is the tacit understanding of the three families. The tiger does not care about the rabbit entering its territory, and allows the female tiger to overlap with its territory. If it is another male tiger, it will not work. This is that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and one is female.

The remaining 30% of the shares are mainly limited subscriptions. One cent of the shares is temporarily set at 100,000 Taiping coins, and one cent of the shares is temporarily set at 10,000 Taiping coins. The minimum is one cent and the maximum is two cents.

In this way, the entire Nanyang United Trading Company is worth 10 million Taiping coins. It looks expensive, but in fact, if you invest 10,000 Taiping coins, the accumulated dividend income will definitely be much higher than 10,000 Taiping coins. If you transfer shares in the future, it will definitely be more than 10,000 Taiping coins, so everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

In other words, the actual value of Nanyang United Trading Company is far more than 10 million Taiping coins. This is already a depressed price and belongs to the internal price.

The rest of the people are mainly competing for this 30% of the shares. Don’t look at it as asking for favors and greetings. It’s just to fight for a qualification, and the money you should spend can’t be less.

After talking about these things, the old colleague hinted to Qi Xuansu that he could indulge himself tonight.

Qi Xuansu joked, "The little girl is Zhang's spy, so forget it."

Colleagues expressed understanding.

The advantage of marrying a young lady is that you will be helped and promoted quickly. As for the disadvantages, it is inevitable to feel aggrieved, and generally you have to wait until your father-in-law retires before you can be proud. In Qi Xuansu's case, I'm afraid he will have to wait until Cihang Zhenren ascends.

That's fine, the key is that the eldest lady of the Zhang family is not an easy-to-serve lamp, and she is notoriously difficult to serve. It is reasonable for Chief Qi to be careful.

Qi Xuansu was about to get up and say goodbye, and the older female Taoist priest brought Xiao Yin over. Xiao Yin was already a little sleepy.

In fact, Qi Xuansu was also very curious. Xiao Yin actually slept. Her work and rest schedule was much more normal than Qi Xuansu's. She went to bed on time and would never stay up all night. Those who didn't know her would think she was an ordinary girl. On the other hand, Qi Xuansu did not sleep for a few days, and she used meditation instead of sleep to rest.

Xiao Yin thought it was normal. In the legend, gods and demons would fall into a deep sleep after being injured. After sleeping for hundreds of years, the injuries would heal. It can be seen that sleeping is very necessary.

Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin's hand and walked out. Obviously, he did not intend to stay overnight or take anyone back.

The smiles on the faces of the two female Taoists were a little stiff, and disappointment flashed in their eyes.

Although Qi Xuansu had a higher status, in this occasion, Qi Xuansu was the prey and they were the hunters.

As long as something happened, Qi Xuansu would inevitably express something for his own reputation, and they would be able to benefit endlessly. This kind of thing is very common. If you don't have some skills, you may be blackmailed and die together in the end, such as Zhang Juquan.

Of course, even if there was something, they didn't dare to blackmail Qi Xuansu. They all knew Qi Xuansu's skills. He had made many military achievements in the battlefield of Fenglinzhou, and uprooted the Wang and Sun families in Borneo. It was obvious that such a person was not comparable to the Taoist priests in Huapu. The Taoist priests in Huapu could only stir up trouble under the protection of rules, while people like Qi Xuansu were constrained by rules. They vaguely heard that someone had reported that Chief Qi had abandoned him after having an affair, and then there was no news. It was hard to say whether the person who falsely accused him was still alive.

You can't think about this kind of thing, otherwise you will feel cold on your back.

Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin on the carriage. Not long after, Xiao Yin, who was full and drunk, fell asleep, and then a box fell out of her arms.

Qi Xuansu opened it casually and saw that there was a Sumeru object inside. As for what was inside the Sumeru object, it was obvious.

This was definitely not Xiao Yin's thing, and I don't know who gave it to Xiao Yin while Qi Xuansu was away. The child didn't know the importance of it and put it in his arms.

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything, but asked Chen Jianchou to hand the Xumi object to Xu Jiaorong, and then record it in writing. In the future, if anyone makes a fuss about this matter, it won't hurt him.

This happened some time ago, and the homework must be done in advance. When Qi Xuansu arrives in Lion City, it will be a bit late.
