Chapter 344 Selling Shares
"Hmph, if Old Tan knew you'd ruined his life's work, he'd probably be furious enough to cause some serious harm!"
"Do you think that just because you issued a statement, netizens will buy it? The Tan Group is not a one-man show. We've agreed that if you can't take away the Ye Group's business, then we'll vote to elect a new acting president. The Tan Group cannot be ruined by you alone!"
The shareholders who flooded in, each with their own opinions, stood on the moral high ground and, relying on their age, criticized Tan Rong's actions.
Tan Rong remained unfazed, even smiling slightly at their threats to remove him from his position, before calmly taking out his phone.
"Thank you all for your concern about my father's health. I have good news to tell you. My father regained consciousness at 2 a.m. last night and has handed over all decision-making power in the Tan Group to me. Even you uncles and elders have no right to dismiss me."
As Tan Rong spoke, she took out her phone and made a video call. Because she had informed her father in advance, the call was quickly answered by the caregiver, who spoke to Mr. Tan.
Mr. Tan does look much more energetic.
"Hello everyone, it's been a long time. I'm officially handing over the Tan Group to my daughter, Tan Rong. Last night, I transferred all my shares to Tan Rong. She is now the employee with the most shares in the Tan Group, and has the power to make both affirmative and veto decisions. I support any decision my daughter makes, cough cough..."
This decision was a complete shock to everyone else.
They were eyeing the position of acting president and were planning to seize the opportunity presented by Tan Rong's mistake to take over. They envisioned that once President Tan recovered and the Tan Group flourished under their leadership, President Tan would have to see if they would allow him to move in.
But no one expected that Old Tan would suddenly wake up at this time and transfer all his shares to Tan Rong. Now Tan Rong has risen to become their boss. Really, what does a little girl like her know?
"Old Tan, are you confused?"
"That's right, Lao Tan, you have no idea what Tan Rong was like when you were sick..."
Everyone chimed in, trying to persuade Mr. Tan to change his mind.
"Everyone, there's no need to say anything more. Since I woke up this time, I've seen through everything. I'm going to start enjoying life. I'm tired. I'll hand the company over to Tan Rong. As for how far she can lead the company, that depends on her abilities. I'm tired, I'll hang up now." After saying this, Old Tan asked the caregiver to hang up the phone.
In the last second before the call ended, Old Tan's voice, filled with praise and pride, came through: "Rong'er, your decision last night was absolutely correct. It is the best thing to admit your mistakes and correct them. I am proud of you."
Before he could finish speaking, his phone screen flashed, and the video call was disconnected.
Tan Rong sniffed, forcing back the tears that were about to well up in his eyes, and looked up at the shareholders with different expressions. "Everyone, do you have any questions? If not, I'll get back to work. By the way, I know there are some people with connections on this list. Since I'm publishing the list, I'm treating everyone equally, so don't try to take shortcuts."
"You're utterly unreasonable, and so is General Manager Tan! The company is finished!"
Some people left in anger, while others looked at each other and asked about the next steps for Tan Rong's company. After all, after the company's scandal was exposed, real estate companies that had originally intended to sign contracts with them all hesitated. It was ridiculous that the leading company in the property management industry would one day face a situation where there were no customers.
"I'm planning to go to Fuqing City in Y Province. I've already signed a contract with a fairly large real estate company in Y Province. I plan to send a group of people to Fuqing City in the next few days, and then gradually move the company's headquarters there."
Tan Rong calmly dropped a bombshell.
The crowd stared at Tan Rong in disbelief, and once they realized he was serious, they became excited.
“Y Province? Although it’s just next door, but… but I don’t want to leave the province. I’ve spent my whole life working hard in Haishi. I’m approaching middle age. Why should I go to a new city, Mr. Tan? Our roots are in Haishi. Why should we go to Y Province to work hard?”
"Yes, my wife and children are here. If I leave, what will happen to my wife and children? We'll be living apart."
After they had almost finished their discussion, Tan Rong tapped his fingers lightly on the table to quiet them down. "Do you think the company can still find clients if it stays in Haishi?"
Tan Rong's question silenced them all. Someone couldn't help but retort, "Mr. Tan, didn't you already announce the company's punishment for these people online? They're just a rotten apple. Once this storm passes, the customers who are meant to come to our door will still come."
"Would you drink soup that's been tainted with bad apples? We have a history of such behavior. Even if I sincerely apologize online and punish those people, they still represent the loopholes and lax management in our company. Those real estate people, even if they really want to cooperate with our company, should think twice about whether the homeowners are willing. Do you think the homeowners will agree?" Tan Rong scoffed, his blunt words causing everyone to lower their heads.
The biggest taboo in the service industry is the collapse of trust with customers. Their credibility is shattered, and it's like it's fallen on the ground and can't be picked up again. When Tan Rong went back yesterday, she thought about it carefully and found that Yun Zhi had indeed provided her with a new path. Otherwise, if she had kept staying in Haishi, the final result would have been either bankruptcy or, like now, moving to other cities or provinces to develop.
Yunzhi unexpectedly saved her some time. Thinking of this, Tan Rong felt a little complicated. However, she understood that even if she presented the facts and reasoned with people, those who were not willing to listen would still not listen.
"Now is a critical moment for the survival of the Tan Group. I believe that we must break the old to build the new. I have already drawn up the list of people to go to Y Province. We will have a meeting in the conference room in half an hour and I will announce the list. Of course, it is not mandatory. If you do not want to go, you do not have to. But I would like to remind you that the Tan Group's focus will definitely shift there in the future. So if you do not go now, you will go later, unless you resign."
As Tan Rong spoke, he sat back down in his seat, waved to the people, and indicated that they could leave and go back to think things over.
Those shareholders who already had grievances against Tan Rong, upon hearing that Tan Rong was going to abandon his roots in Haishi and go to an unfamiliar city, all complained that Tan Rong had lost his mind, and those who were quick to act had already begun to sell their shares.
