Chapter 687 Gains and Losses
Chapter 687 Gains and Losses
Li Jiawei took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, and said slowly: "More than 30 years ago, I was just born and had no control over my own destiny, but you can.
But in the end, what did you do? I was taken away from the right place at birth and have lived a misplaced life for more than 30 years. Who should I ask for an explanation and make amends for all this?
Looking back now, my life in the 30 years before I returned to the Li family was not a complete failure. I had foster parents and an older brother who loved me, and I was admitted to university.
Although divorced, there are many divorced people in this world.
If you hadn't appeared, I might have continued to live a peaceful life and worked hard to save money to buy a house.
If I can meet the right person, I might remarry; if not, it's okay to live alone.
After returning to the Li family, I have indeed lived a life that I never dared to imagine before. I am truly content and grateful that you found me.
I also wanted to get along well with you, but what about you? What was your response?
When I returned to this home, the ones who gave me the most care and love were my grandma, Uncle Liang, and my uncle, but not you.
You only ignore me. Even if you care about me occasionally, it is always with a condescending look.
As long as I do something that doesn't suit your taste, you'll bring up my upbringing and upbringing as an excuse.
So, what kind of feelings do you expect me to have towards you?"
Jing Qiu didn't expect Li Jiawei to be so sharp in her words. For a moment, he was speechless. After a long pause, he pointed at Li Jiawei and said sternly, "I won't give Meishang to you. Don't dream on!"
Li Jiawei calmly corrected: "You didn't give it to me, I paid for it.
If you don’t want to sell it to me, you can find other buyers, or just wait and see if it goes bankrupt and undergoes asset restructuring.”
Jing Qiu sneered and said disdainfully: "Meishang will definitely be able to run well. This time it is just a temporary failure."
Li Jiawei looked at her and smiled, saying, "I hope so. But no matter what, I am currently the largest shareholder of Meishang.
I want to buy the shares held by my sister-in-law just to obtain the absolute controlling rights of "Meishang". "
After saying this, Li Jiawei slowly stood up, looked at Li Yan and Zhong Xinlan who were sitting opposite, and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, sometimes people want to have their cake and eat it too, which is not wrong in itself.
But you are no longer children. It is not right to always hide behind your parents, asking them to protect you and deal with you, and to think that you can have everything. "
After hearing what Li Jiawei said, Li Yan and Zhong Xinlan felt as if they were slapped on the face, burning with pain.
Li Yan seemed to have been hit on the point of his own incompetence that he was unwilling to admit. He stood up suddenly, stared at Li Jiawei viciously, and asked: "Li Jiawei, what do you mean by this? Are you mocking me?"
"It's up to you to interpret it however you want." Li Jiawei said slowly, but she was not looking at him. Instead, she turned her gaze to Zhong Xinlan, "Sister-in-law, the shares are in your hands now. Are you going to sell them or not? Please give me a definite answer. After all, there is more than one magazine called "Meishang" in China!"
Li Jiawei originally wanted to merge "Meishang" because she knew "Meishang" well enough and also had feelings for it.
Moreover, the founding concept of "Jinghong" is the same as that of "Meishang", so she hopes to merge and reorganize the two magazines, but now looking at this thing, she regrets her original decision.
Zhong Xinlan glanced at her father-in-law and mother-in-law who were sitting in the main seats. Both of them looked very unhappy. She then turned her gaze to Li Jiawei and said, "Jiawei, I want to think about this again."
Li Jiawei smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll give you a week.
If you still can't make up your mind by then, I will no longer consider purchasing your shares.
However, I will sell my shares in Mei Shang at that time, and you will have the right of first refusal.”
After saying that, Li Jiawei turned and walked out the door. She felt that coming here today was simply asking for trouble.
But as soon as she took two steps, Zhong Xinlan asked, "Are you really planning to sell your shares in Meishang?"
Li Jiawei turned her head and looked at Zhong Xinlan, and said calmly: "If I can't fully control "Meishang", then these shares of "Meishang" will not mean much to me."
After saying that, Li Jiawei no longer paid attention to others and walked straight out the door without looking back.
Back in the car, Li Jiawei took out her cell phone and called An Ling.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Jiawei ordered: "An Ling, notify them to suspend contact with Zhong Xinlan and leave her alone."
An Ling looked puzzled and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Li, the negotiations between the two sides are going smoothly. If we suddenly lose contact now, will it be... not good?"
Li Jiawei knew what An Ling was worried about. She snorted and said, "I've been talking to her for too long. It's just making her have some unrealistic thoughts. Let's leave her alone for a while."
An Ling sensed a chill in Li Jiawei's tone, and realized that something must have happened that he was unaware of, so he stopped asking and just said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I know what to do. I'll go talk to them right away."
Li Jiawei nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Jiawei hung up the phone, glanced at the building behind her through the rearview mirror, sneered disdainfully, then started the car and drove away.
Some people are just too polite to them, and they can't figure out who is in control now.
Jing Qiu and Zhong Xinlan originally thought that Li Jiawei's claim to sell her shares in "Meishang" was just a joke, but they didn't expect that they would hear related rumors just two days later.
Not only that, Li Jiawei also accepted an interview with financial news and personally confirmed the rumor.
In an instant, the stock price, which had been rising due to Li Jiawei's investment in "Meishang", began to fall sharply.
Zhong Xinlan stared at the ever-changing stock trends on the computer screen, her heart full of regret.
What made her even more annoyed was that the company that had previously intended to invest in her jewelry brand suddenly cut off contact with her.
Zhong Xinlan hurriedly asked the other party the reason, and then she found out that the company felt that she had been hesitant and could not give a clear response, so they turned to contact another independent jewelry design brand.
The jewelry brand fits their company's positioning perfectly and actively cooperates with all their requests. Therefore, the company's top management is more inclined to cooperate with that jewelry brand.
At this moment, Zhong Xinlan felt that her head was about to be enlarged by worries. She had wanted to take advantage of both sides, but in the end, she got nothing from either side.
