CHAPTER 255: CHAPTER 255: LIN FAN MUST BE BRAGGING, RIGHT?

Zheng Fugui, in his fifties, dressed in everyday attire, looked plain and ordinary. On the street, he would just be an average middle-aged man.

However, Zheng Fugui was known for his love of dressing well, usually sporting designer brands when he stepped out. His current appearance could only mean he rushed here in a hurry without time to dress up!

Who knows what happened to him, but as soon as he arrived, he directly expressed his support for Lin Fan!

It’s important to note that Yunxin Company, controlled by Zheng Fugui, is currently the second-largest shareholder of Huaxin, holding 11% of the shares. His stance directly determines the direction of the current issue.

According to Zhang Jing’s understanding of Zheng Fugui, Zheng Fugui should not be supporting Lin Fan!

What on earth is going on?

Zhang Jing couldn’t help but say, "Old Zheng, what are you talking about? Do you know what Lin Fan plans to do? He’s going to ruin the company!"

Zheng Fugui gave Zhang Jing a cold glance and said, "I vote how I please. Whatever Mr. Lin decides, I stand with Mr. Lin."

He didn’t explain the reason or rather had no desire to explain it.

Zhang Jing, both angry and anxious, said, "Zheng Fugui, you’re out of your mind! How can you support him like this? You’ll ruin the company!"

Zheng Fugui said indifferently, "My mind is made up, Chairman Zhang. Save your breath."

Zheng Fugui’s attitude was so resolute that nothing seemed to be able to shake him.

Even Lin Fan was curious about how Feng Ruolan managed to win over Zheng Fugui. He’d have to ask his sister later.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I now have 41% support. The decision is made to change from not supporting Zhongwei to publicly backing Zhongwei!"

Zhang Jing’s face turned white, and he stammered, "Lin Fan, why are you doing this? If this is because of what happened last night and you want revenge on me, you can just come at me, but you can’t damage the company’s interests this way!"

All the shareholders became despondent, and they all began to urge Lin Fan to retract his decision.

Now that Lin Fan had Zheng Fugui’s backing, he essentially controlled 41% of the decision-making power of the company, which was almost absolute control. As long as Lin Fan maintained 41% support with Zheng Fugui, he could pass any decision!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task to change the decision!"

"Task: Change Huaxin Company’s decision.

Importance: Ordinary.

Progress: 100/100.

Status: Completed."

At this point, the system sent out a notice.

Lin Fan successfully took control of Huaxin Company by teaming up with Zheng Fugui.

The system task was declared complete!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host, task completed, special reward granted: Top-level chip manufacturing technology, please accept."

A stream of information flooded into Lin Fan’s mind.

Information about top-level chip manufacturing technology was absorbed by Lin Fan!

Lin Fan was elated inside.

This reward is incredible! Top-level chip manufacturing technology, this is skyrocketing!

In fact, during the debate with Zhang Jing earlier, Lin Fan felt very uncertain, even somewhat guilty, speaking of trying hard to improve their own technology to replace the supply from the United States was indeed passionate but also a bit naive.

Because if chip technology could be improved that easily, there wouldn’t have been a need to rely on foreign imports for so many years.

Lin Fan forcibly passed the decision in order to complete the system task.

He had long anticipated that no shareholder would support him, and to pass the decision, he had to win over Yunxin Company, the second-largest shareholder.

Fortunately, Feng Ruolan helped him secure the support of Yunxin Company’s boss, Zheng Fugui.

Now that the system rewarded top-level chip manufacturing technology, Lin Fan could finally relax.

With this technology, Huaxin wouldn’t have to be constrained by the United States anymore and could freely pursue major achievements. Lin Fan went from feeling guilty to feeling justified in an instant.

The others didn’t know about Lin Fan’s extraordinary reward, and there were groans all around, with everyone feeling downhearted.

"It’s over. Huaxin is doomed this time!"

"Once the new announcement is out, it’s sure to anger the US and cut off our supply!"

"Everyone pack up and get ready to sleep under the bridge!"

"This is going to kill us!"

People repeatedly muttered pessimistic remarks.

Zhang Jing still couldn’t accept the reality, he even considered kneeling before Lin Fan, begging Lin Fan to change his mind.

"Mr. Lin, please, I’m begging you, I apologize for last night’s events. I can kneel and admit my mistakes if you want, but can you retract your decision?"

Zhang Jing tried his best to lower his stance.

With Lin Fan holding all the power, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I’m sorry, I’ve decided to do this, and there’s no changing it. Zhang Jing, if you don’t support my decision, you might consider resigning as chairman."

Zhang Jing shuddered, it was happening, Lin Fan was finally going after him!

He knew it, Lin Fan was coming for him specifically!

Thump!

Zhang Jing knelt down: "Mr. Lin, I admit my mistakes, okay? I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have insulted you and Miss Feng last night. I won’t ever do it again. Please, show some mercy, spare Huaxin Company! Once your decision is made public, Huaxin will be doomed!"

Lin Fan was a bit taken aback and said, "I’m really not targeting you. Last night, you indeed offended my sister, but I’m not going to go to great lengths just to teach you a lesson."

The implication was that Zhang Jing wasn’t worth such an effort.

But Zhang Jing wouldn’t believe it: "Mr. Lin, you’re targeting me. How about this, you can deal with me however you want, do whatever you like, fire me from being chairman, I don’t mind, but please spare Huaxin Company."

Apart from Zheng Fugui, all the shareholders knelt down, begging.

"Mr. Lin, please retract your decision!"

"Mr. Lin, you can’t do this!"

"Mr. Lin, this will ruin Huaxin!"

The scene brought sweat to Lin Fan’s forehead. He only intended to lighten the mood after obtaining the top chip manufacturing technology, unaware it would terrify all the shareholders.

"Alright, let me say something serious!"

Lin Fan cleared his throat and continued, "I understand everyone’s concerns. You’re all afraid of offending the US and having them stop supplying us with equipment, but as I just said, we shouldn’t be so beholden to the US, watching their every move. That’s why we need to improve our technology."

Zhang Jing was on the verge of tears: "Mr. Lin, as I’ve said, improving technology isn’t something that can be done overnight, plus research requires a vast amount of funding. The company doesn’t have that kind of money, nor that much time!"

Lin Fan gave a slight smile, "What if I say I have the technology?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Jing asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that? You have the technology?"

Lin Fan nodded, "That’s right, I have high-end chip manufacturing technology. Based on this technology, we can develop our own production equipment, no longer needing to buy from others, and henceforth, we don’t have to be wary of others’ perceptions. Furthermore, this technology will propel Huaxin to the forefront of the world."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Lin Fan as if he were a lunatic. This had to be bragging, right?

Right?

He must be bragging!
