Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Six

Long Xiaoshan hesitated, and Gu Jingheng said, "Xiaoshan, Amy used to work for a multinational company and is very capable. If you let her join your company, I believe you won't be disappointed."

Long Xiaoshan thought it over.

Since Gu Jingheng spoke so highly of Li Jialin, there must be a reason for it.

Gu Jingheng, the little Superman of Hong Kong Island, a famous business tycoon, had a high opinion of Li Jialin. That implied that Li Jialin's skills were indeed sufficient. Although he could manage a company himself, his vision was limited and certainly could not compare with that of professionals. If he could focus wholly on running the company, he believed that with his current talent and understanding, he would learn quickly and would not lag behind others.

The problem was that he could not possibly devote a lot of energy to the company.

Longyang Company was merely a conduit for improving the welfare of villagers and repaying his fellow townspeople; it was not his life's goal.

If someone could manage the company for him, allowing him to concentrate on cultivation, that would be ideal.

"You want to invest five hundred million; how much of a stake are you expecting?" Long Xiaoshan asked.

"Your company now has assets of over ten billion. I think thirty percent wouldn't be too much," Li Jialin said.

Long Xiaoshan laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

Long Xiaoshan turned to Gu Jingheng, and Gu Jingheng said helplessly, "Amy, the last time I invested a billion, I only got a 10% stake."

Li Jialin's face turned crimson in an instant.

She was unaware of this detail, and Gu Jingheng hadn't explained it to her in depth. Realizing that Gu Jingheng had put in a billion and only got a tenth of the company, it was no wonder Long Xiaoshan had just laughed at her.

She simply did not know what to say.

Seeing Li Jialin's uncomfortable expression, Long Xiaoshan did not want to make things hard for this beauty, since he was a man who showed consideration for women.

He smiled and said, "Well, normally I do not sell shares, but since Miss Li is Brother Gu's cousin and a senior manager who has worked in a multinational company, I can't let you feel too aggrieved. Miss Li, how about you put in two billion, and I give you a 5% stake?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Jialin's expression changed several times.

Gu Jingheng had put in a billion for a 10% stake, and now with her two billion, she would get a 5% stake; the valuation was already greatly in her favor.

But her goal was not just that share of the company.

Li Jialin's face kept changing.

After a long while, she said, "All right, I agree."

"Then let's look forward to a pleasant cooperation." Long Xiaoshan extended his hand.

"Pleasant cooperation," Li Jialin also reached out her hand.

As he held Li Jialin's soft palm, Long Xiaoshan thought to himself that this was not too bad, when suddenly he felt as if his palm had been scratched. He was slightly startled and looked at Li Jialin, who still maintained a proud queenly demeanor, wondering if it was just his imagination.

However, his sharp eyes noticed that Li Jialin's ears were slowly turning red.

This was really interesting.

The woman had actually scratched his palm.

He would never have guessed.

Was she actually flirting with him, a little farmer?

As they separated hands, Li Jialin briskly said, "President Long, now that I've joined the company, take me to the company now. I want to get a comprehensive understanding of the structure, to see where improvements are needed."

Seeing Li Jialin's forceful demeanor.

Long Xiaoshan was slightly stunned, this woman was truly formidable; he hadn't even offered her a position yet, and she was already planning to reform the company.

However, he also saw that Li Jialin was a confident and strong woman.

Such a woman, her abilities must not be weak.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have such a style. But that's okay, since the company is still in its infancy, if a real powerful woman could take control of the company, its development would likely be smoother.

If Li Jialin really had the capability, then the 5% share he had offered wouldn't have been a loss.

After all, talent is rare.

"Haha, Amy is a workaholic, with her there, the people in your company are going to have a tough time," Gu Jingheng laughed.

"Good, then let's go over there," Long Xiaoshan also became decisive.

The three returned to the company and went to the president's office.

Long Xiaoshan took out the company materials and started to introduce them to Li Jialin.

After Li Jialin looked over the company's share allocation, she said in disbelief, "President Long, not to criticize you, but you're completely messing this up. How can you allocate the company's shares like this? The village committee can actually hold 30%? Those lands, when added up, are not even worth a few million, and you're giving them 30%? Based on the current valuation, that's at least 30 billion! Are those pieces of land worth 30 billion?"

Li Jialin's chest heaved with anger, and her eyes nearly shot fire.

Furious!

Extremely angry!

Just now, she offered five billion to buy the formula, and Long Xiaoshan didn't even pay attention.

When it came to investing for shares, Long Xiaoshan was very astute.

But the shares given to the village were a complete muddle. In her view, the village didn't need to be given any shares at all; it would suffice to simply rent the land every year for some money.

That bit of broken land in the village, how much could it be worth?

Why should she, who took out several billion in cash, only hold 5%, while these villagers did nothing and got 30%?

"If you let me be the president, the first thing I'll do is take back the village committee's shares. Then we can buy out the land outright. You could also take back the 30% of the shares. We could earn nearly double the money every year. If you don't want the shares, I will buy them. I can go borrow 30 billion to give you, no, I can offer up to 40 billion," Li Jialin said.

"No, these shares are my way of giving back to the villagers, and they are not for sale," Long Xiaoshan said.

"How can you be like this? There's no place for personal feelings in business, President Long. Even if you want to give back to the villagers, there is no need to allocate such a large amount of shares. How many people are there in your village? Do you realize the value of these shares? As the company grows, the value of these shares could multiply. Do you know how much money that is?" Li Jialin yelled.

It was almost to the point of slamming the table.

"I know, but I want to give them to the village. I'm not short of money," Long Xiaoshan said.

Long Xiaoshan helplessly played the 'I'm not short of money' card again.

"How much money do you have? There's never enough money, there are many people in the world with more money than you, and not one of them says they don't need money. Having money and messing around are two different things. The shares must be taken back; otherwise, I won't do it," Li Jialin said angrily.

"Then there's no way around it, we'll have to part ways regretfully, Miss Li," Long Xiaoshan said.

Li Jialin glared.

This Long Xiaoshan must be sick.

She was a top executive of a multinational company, a marketing management talent. Was she not worth more than a bunch of farmers?

"Amy, I don't think there's a need to argue. Since these are President Long's shares and they're already written into the contract, let's just let it be. President Long, Amy is just looking out for your best interests," Gu Jingheng played the mediator.

"I know, Miss Li is a professional talent, and I certainly hope she stays. However, the shares can't be changed. Aside from this, all other aspects of the company can follow Miss Li's direction," Long Xiaoshan said.

Gu Jingheng spread his hands towards Li Jialin: "Amy."

Li Jialin took a deep breath, a deep breath.

After a while, she smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. Since President Long insists, then we'll do as President Long says. The shares remain unchanged, and I will take full control of managing the company."
