Chapter Forty-Seven: Applause

  Wang Zheng may have been smiling, but everyone could sense a chill from his eyes.

  When have these directors ever seen such a scene, it's clearly just a negotiation, how did they suddenly pull out a knife and threaten to chop off fingers, this is not the usual way of doing things, isn't this person a spokesperson for Metis Bourbon or something?

  Although the Shangguan family's Qi and Lin held high positions, they really didn't have enough business experience. Faced with Wang Zhong's unconventional methods, they were actually at a loss for a while.

  "You, you, don't make a call, or I'll cut off your fingers too." Wang Zhen saw an older director secretly dialing on his phone under the table and walked directly to him, putting the knife against that director's face.

  The old man originally wanted to call the police, he had lived for so many years and had never been threatened like this before. The icy blade made his whole body feel cold, and even his neck was covered in goosebumps.

  "Don't tremble, or I'm afraid I might accidentally scratch your face. Of course, I might also accidentally cut off your ear. My knife is very sharp." Wang Zhen's voice was gloomy and ominous, making people feel a chill run down their spines. After he finished speaking, he even blew a puff of air into the old man's neck, causing his hair to stand on end, leaving Shangguan Shi looking utterly horrified.

  The old man nervously put his phone into his pocket, not daring to make another call. He was afraid that this unreasonable guy would really make him lose face and never be able to show it again.

  "Hand over your mobile phones."

  Wang Zheng stretched out his hand, took out a new fruit phone from the old board of directors' pocket, and with a flick of his wrist, threw it directly out the window. This was the 36th floor, over 100 meters high. The phone fell to pieces, and if a person had fallen, they would have been smashed into a human-shaped meat paste stuck to the ground, impossible to scrape up even with a shovel.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after several seconds, a faint cracking sound was heard, and that expensive phone had apparently been smashed to pieces.

  Fortunately, there is a fairly large balcony on the fifth floor below, so you don't have to worry about hitting anyone.

  Wang Zhenqiang forcibly took all the directors' mobile phones and put them together, looking at these luxury mobile phones, Wang Zhen had a look of admiration on his face, some of the phones even had all their buttons inlaid with diamonds, looking extremely luxurious.

  This small pile of luxury mobile phones, conservatively estimated to be worth several million, Wang Zhēn thought about it and still couldn't bear to throw them away. After all, even a mosquito's meat is still meat; no matter how much money, accumulating it will play a role in toppling the Su family in the future.

  This batch of mobile phones will be handed over to Li Minghao. Even if he gives all the wages to his younger brother, it's enough to support him for several months.

  Thinking of this, Wang Zhong took off his suit jacket without hesitation, wrapped up all the phones and said: "The phone is not bad, borrow it first, return it to you in twenty years."

  When Wang Zheng finished packing up the expensive phones, he looked up to see the bewildered directors and the somewhat stunned expression on Shangguan Shi's face. He then said with some embarrassment: "Uh, I'll mind my own business, you all continue your meeting, I won't disturb you anymore."

  …………

  The subsequent meeting went very smoothly, with Wang Zheng, the dark-faced Bodhisattva, standing by and intimidating everyone. None of the big shots from the Shangguan family dared to make any more trouble. Whenever someone showed even a hint of dissatisfaction towards Shangguan Shi, Wang Zheng would immediately give them a cold, murderous stare, and everyone would fall silent, not daring to speak again.

  "It's settled then. During my father's illness, I will be fully in charge of all matters at Jumbo International, and I ask that the board members cooperate with me."

  Shangguan Shi swept a satisfied glance over the expressions of the board members in the conference room and said, "Those with dissenting opinions may speak."

  Who dares to have a different opinion? Looking at Wang Zheng playing with the shiny knife in his hand, even if these directors had grievances in their hearts, they couldn't express them at this moment!

  Wang Zhong didn't hide his playful gaze, that provocative gaze was nakedly expressing a meaning: "You have objections, just raise them, but if anyone dares to upset Shang Shi, I'll chop off their fingers with my knife."

  The directors have mixed to this point, no one is not desperate, no one wants to be careless by themselves, and really being unloaded by this ruthless person for a few zero parts, which would be too costly.

  Shangguan Shi smiled and exchanged a glance with Wang Zheng: "If there are no objections, then today's board meeting is adjourned."

  Shangguan Jiaqi grunted and was about to stand up when Wang Zheng took a step forward, his eyes wide with malice, and shouted: "What's going on? You want to leave now? The acting chairman hasn't finished speaking yet, aren't you going to applaud and pass it?"

  All the directors were stunned, what's going on, and they had to applaud for a young girl who hadn't even graduated from college?

  What does this guy mean?!

  The directors are so humiliated that they want to cry. Isn't the humiliation they suffered today enough? They even have to applaud themselves! What a joke!

  But when they saw Wang Zhong's murderous gaze, their desire to resist immediately dissipated.

  "Clap quickly, whoever doesn't clap won't be leaving this room today." Wang Zhēng smiled playfully and raised his hand. A snow-bright cold light directly nailed into the conference room door, with the blade fully inserted into the door and the tail still vibrating at a high frequency!

  Several directors saw the trembling dagger and turned pale in an instant.

  "Don't look at me like that, don't be suspicious, I'm just threatening you. But being able to threaten a group of billionaires, it's actually quite a good feeling."

  Wang Zheng ignored the fiery gazes, indulged himself for a few seconds, and then put on a fierce expression: "Hurry up and applaud for me!"

  It was unclear who started clapping with a bitter face first, but soon the entire conference room began to echo with sparse applause. All the directors were clapping with bitter faces, and even Shangguan Jiaqi and Shangguan Jialin were no exception.

  The applause lasted for a full minute before Wang Zhong said contentedly, "Very good, very good, I'm satisfied. Poetic Poetry is the chairman now, can we adjourn the meeting?"

  Shangguan Shi's tears had long since dried up, and she forced a smile as she said, "The meeting can be adjourned now. Everyone has their own business to attend to."

  Watching a group of resentful figures leave the Jutron Building, Shangguan Shi turned her face and looked at Wang Zheng's smiling face, with gratitude in her heart that could not be expressed.

  "Was I too harsh on them today? After all, they are my elders." Shangguan Shi Shi had inherited her father's business acumen, but she hadn't experienced the cunning and deception of the business world yet, and was still a soft-hearted child.

  "If you don't force them today, they won't give you any face either." Wang Zheng looked at Shangguan Shi and smiled: "The business world is like this, sometimes it's even more cruel than the battlefield. I'd rather hold a machine gun on the battlefield and charge forward without hesitation, than to struggle in this dark and sinister business world."

  "But I think you're more sinister than anyone else." Shangguan Shi whispered, then said with a apologetic face: "Wang Zheng, you've helped me so much, and I'm often irritable and impatient with you, that..."

  Before Wang Shi finished speaking, Wang Zheng said magnanimously and generously: "Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. How could I be on the same level as a woman with irregular periods?"

  Shangguan Shi's face instantly lost its sincere apologetic expression, replaced by a look that seemed to want to kill Wang Zhen!

  "You're such a person, how can you not let people remember half of your goodness!" Shangguan Shi's feet jumped in anger.

  ……

  "The acquisition of Meilong Group's shares can be put on hold for the time being, anyway, I'm in charge, and that old fox Cheng Mei won't dare to play any tricks. For now, you should integrate Jutron International's resources, get this big ship back on track, and then think about other developments." Wang Zhen sat in the office that originally belonged to Shangguan's family but now belonged to Shangguan Shishi, looking around at the decorations while speaking to Shangguan Shishi: "I suppose you don't need me to tell you what to do or not to do, you should understand all that. If there's anything uncertain, I think you can ask your old man for advice, although he says he's retired, but things happening outside won't escape his attention."

  Shangguan Shi was flipping through the documents, nodding her head, but a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes.

  "Grandfather has been retired for many years, and at this critical moment, Father fell ill with a strange disease. Wang Zheng, I need your help." Shang Guan Shi said sincerely.

  Indeed, for a giant commercial aircraft carrier like JF International, Shangguan Shi's helmsman is indeed too tender, even if she has an extraordinary business mind and talent. However, wanting to control JF International well in a short period of time, as well as those cunning directors, is still a very difficult task.

  Shangguan Yingzhan is the founder of the Shangguan family. This old man, who started his career sixty years ago, is now nearly ninety years old. In the decades when this old man dominated the business world, countless legends have occurred on his body, and the Shangguan family has also become one of the most famous commercial families in China.

  More than 20 years ago, Shangguan Ying suddenly retired and announced that he would no longer be involved in family affairs, allowing his third son, Shangguan Jiazheng, who was previously unknown, to take over as the head of the family and become the chairman of Julong International. Meanwhile, his eldest son, Shangguan Jiaqi, and second son, Shangguan Jialin, were left out of any family affairs, shocking everyone.

  Although many people had reservations about Master Shang's approach at the time, believing that handing over family management rights to low-key Old Three would inevitably lead to unnecessary turmoil, with many voices of discontent within the family. However, Master Shang pretended not to hear and focused on cultivating flowers and plants in his own garden. Nevertheless, time proved that Master Shang's vision was extremely correct. In the more than 20 years since taking over as head of the Shang family, Jù Róng International has achieved unprecedented development, becoming a giant in Chinese commerce, leading mainstream business development, and gaining profound influence internationally.

  And Shangguan Jiazheng also became a legendary figure in the Huaxia Mall after his father, and many of his classic cases were included in textbooks, becoming a must-have for business school students.
