Su Qi was the acting president of Tianyuan Group. She held the top position among senior management.
With her approval, it was very easy to transfer the shares of a small company.
She immediately called a subordinate and asked him to work with Liu Qing throughout the entire process until the matter was settled.
This also meant that Tianyuan Media would change from being a wholly owned subsidiary of Tianyuan Group to an indirect subsidiary,
Although it still belonged to Tianyuan Group, the relationship between the two companies was very distant.
After instructing someone well-versed with the procedure to take over, Su Qi left the chairwoman's office.
The two women did not get along so it was awkward for them to stay together in the same space.
After she left, Ding Yun finally smiled as she spoke to Liu Qing.
"I finally got a chance to put my foot down in front of her and got rid of her secretary. This time, everyone in the company should be able to see that I'm not just a paper chairwoman. I'm capable of exercising my authority."
That was the reason why she made a big fuss about Feng Zhixuan slandering Liu Qing. Her main goal was not to avenge Liu Qing, but to exhibit her existence as the chairwoman. At the same time, it was to highlight Liu Qing's presence as the new crown prince.
She did not care if others saw her as being unreasonable or petty. As long as she could show off her authority, she had already achieved her goal.
Liu Qing understood this but he felt a little uneasy.
"Did I lessen the impact of your plan by pleading on the secretary's behalf to reduce her punishment?"
Ding Yun smiled and said, "Not to that extent. That girl would never agree to dismiss her secretary. I don't need to dismiss her either, I just needed to suggest the worst thing. Your plea was very timely and it gave both of us an out. At the same time, you created a good persona for yourself."
Only then did Liu Qing feel relieved.
So long as he did not do anything wrong.
Ding Yun continued, "I reckon that Feng Zhixuan will still be that girl's secretary in the future, but as her private secretary and no longer employed by the company. Anyway, that girl is rich so she can afford to hire her own private secretary."
Liu Qing was stunned. "Does she really need to do that?"
Ding Yun smiled and made a mysterious remark.
"You don't understand. They're very close. That girl won't let that secretary leave her."
Liu Qing made a sound to indicate that he really did not understand.
After feeling smug for a while, Ding Yun sighed again and said resignedly to Liu Qing.
"As you can see today, although I own 55% of the shares of this company, I don't even have someone who can help me. If I didn't kick up a fuss today, those people in the company might not even know that I have authority as the chairwoman."
She had always been a housewife and had never been involved in the management of any company. She had only been confirmed as the chairwoman of the company slightly more than 10 days ago. It was impossible to set up her own system in the company in such a short period of time.
She knew nothing about the management of the company, or who was talented, or who was not, or the character of any company staff.
If all these people really joined forces to empty out the company, she might not be able to stop them.
Liu Qing could only comfort her. "Take your time. After all, you're the chairwoman of the company. With this identity, there will definitely be people coming to join your camp."
Ding Yun said gloomily, "My own siblings are also too incompetent. I had thought about asking one of them to help me, but with their moral characters, I reckon they'll trick me faster than those outsiders."
After saying that, she looked at Liu Qing.
"My child, you're all I can count on now. You have to grow up as soon as possible. Don't disappoint me."
Liu Qing patted his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry. I won't disappoint you."
He sounded very certain of himself.
The level of confidence made Ding Yun a little skeptical.
"My son, it's good to be confident, but don't be blindly confident. I'm giving you 100 million dollars mainly to let you gain experience, learn more, and understand more. Even if you can't make any money, it'd be good if you can make sure the money lasts you for a while. Don't just think about earning money and lose it all at once."
"I know. I definitely won't do anything rash," Liu Qing said.
If the money was too little, there was really nothing he could do.
He had no business acumen, but he still had a little understanding of what was going to happen in the next two years.
Those memories were like a gold mine.
If he used it well, he would have no problem multiplying the money by a few times.
A few thousand dollars could at most allow him to stock up on some masks. When the critical time came, he could sell them and earn some money to improve his life.
If he wanted to do the same thing with a few million dollars, he had to bid his time to enter the market.
However, with 100 million, he could invest in a mask factory and it would definitely make money.
Even though the price of masks would drop to a few cents each after slightly less than a year, if they sold the masks at market prices during that critical period, it would still be more than 10 times higher than normal.
That was only looking at the increase in the selling price.
One could imagine the extent of the increase in profits.
Moreover, making money like this would not incur any criticism. It would also be a great help towards epidemic prevention in the country and could be said to be beneficial to the country and its people.
The situation at that time was that given expensive masks were not available, they had to buy up all the masks in the world, but there were still frontline personnel who did not even have masks.
It was only August now. There was still enough time.
He might not have the time to set up a mask factory himself, but it was completely possible to buy over a mask factory, introduce a production line, and increase production capacity.
Well, he mainly got the above experience from an online novel. The name of that novel was something along the lines of I just want to be a quiet handsome man. The content was too vulgar, so he did not want to go into detail.
Regardless, he felt that the idea of investing in a mask factory was a feasible one.
Even if he only used 50 million dollars out of that 100 million to invest in the mask factory, he could just lie there and wait to earn money.
He could then spend the rest of the 50 million however he wanted.
What kind of other business talents did he need?
Being able to foresee the future was the greatest talent that one could bring into business.
Ding Yun did not know the source of his confidence, but she was worried when she saw how overconfident he was.
However, she had given him whatever reminder that she could. If she could not wake him up enough, then she could only let reality hammer him awake.
In any case, she really had no other option but to choose this son who did not even finish middle school. With a sense of despair, she must make a last attempt to save a hopeless situation.
She did not have too much hope and would just see how it went.
