＊＊＊＊＊＊

After everyone introduced themselves, Chao Bufan gained a general understanding of the people present. He already knew that Su Haijun was Su Dong's son, Liao Kongjun was Liao Dong's son, He Mengjuan was He Dong's daughter, and Chu Ziyan was Chu Dong's daughter.

Chao Bufan nodded, then said to the slightly overweight man on his lower left, "Manager Zhao, tell us about your sales situation!"

Manager Zhao nodded and said, "Okay. Chairman, this month, our clothing department launched several new clothing products, and the sales were quite good. As a result, the sales revenue this month increased by 0.8% compared to the previous month, and the total sales revenue has reached 238 million yuan."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded, then asked Manager Zhang, who was in charge of the catering department and was sitting to the left of Manager Zhao, "Manager Zhang, what about your catering department?"

Manager Zhang replied, "Chairman, our catering department's sales this month are the same as last month's, totaling 154.8 million yuan."

The person sitting below Manager Zhang is Manager Li, who is in charge of the electronics industry. Manager Li said, "Chairman, our electronics industry's sales this month have increased by one percent compared to last month, with total sales of 516 million yuan."

The person sitting to the left of Manager Li was Manager Gao, who was in charge of hotel supplies. Manager Gao continued, "Chairman, our hotel supplies sales this month increased by 0.6% compared to last month, with a total sales amount of 73.5 million."

The man sitting below Manager Gao was Manager Wang, who was in charge of real estate development. Manager Wang continued, "Chairman, in our real estate development sector, due to the huge investment in the early stages, many properties are still under development and construction. As for other real estate, this month's sales volume is over 29 billion yuan."

"The data is good," Chao Bufan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Manager Wang, real estate development is our company's main product. As the person in charge of this area, I hope you will pay more attention to it, especially the safety of employees working at heights. Their lives must be strongly protected, and all safety measures must be in place."

Manager Wang said with a serious expression, "Chairman, please rest assured, I know that."

Chao Bufan nodded, then turned his gaze to the person sitting below Manager Wang and asked, "Manager He, does your business department have any new business?"

Manager He replied, "Yes, Chairman, our business department is currently in talks with PG Company in the United States. Also, the details of our cooperation with HW Company are almost finalized, and the person in charge of HW Company will be coming to sign the contract with our Tang Group in the next couple of days."

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, "Very good, Manager He, you'll have to put in a lot of effort regarding long-term cooperation with these two companies."

Manager He replied, "Chairman, please rest assured, I know what to do."

Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and continued, "Manager Zhang, does your planning department have any new projects planned recently?"

Manager Zhang said, "Yes, Chairman, we have reached an agreement with the municipal government on the land in Xihai. The only thing that has been left unresolved is the land itself. Our planning department is currently drafting an investment plan for the Xihai Resort. We estimate that the total investment in the Xihai Resort will not be less than 40 billion yuan."

Sun Jun interjected, "Chairman, as far as I know, the reason why the municipal government has been slow to respond regarding the Xihai Resort is mainly because Tianhai Group wants to get involved. Their people are also negotiating with the municipal government. After all, Tianhai Group is also a listed company with its own industrial chain, so we should prepare for the worst."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "No matter what, we must get our hands on the West Sea."

Sun Jun laughed and said, "Chairman, don't worry. I still have some connections with the municipal government. Even if I have to swallow my pride, I will still try to win over the Xihai Resort."

Chao Bufan understood Sun Jun's meaning and laughed, "An old general is worth two men. With Manager Sun personally taking charge, victory is definitely assured. Manager Sun, I'll be waiting for your good news!"

Sun Jun said firmly, "Chairman, rest assured, I will definitely win over the Xihai area."

After Su Haijun finished his self-introduction, he sat there casually, with an exaggerated expression and his legs crossed. When the meeting ended, he suddenly said, "Chairman, I want to ask a question that everyone wants to ask."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said in a friendly manner, "May I ask?"

Su Haijun closed the notebook on the table, smiled, and then said casually, "I heard that Chairman Tang hired him from abroad at great expense to be the president, and he hasn't even settled in yet, and now he's already chairman. What we want to know is, Chairman, could you tell us about your family background? After all, this is such a large company, even if my dad and his family are confused, none of you here are confused."

After he finished speaking, many people nodded in agreement and then began to whisper among themselves.

Chao Bufan knew that these people were dissatisfied with him as chairman, and Su Haijun was even more resentful. Not only him, but probably most of them were resentful. After all, what Su Haijun said was true. He hadn't even warmed the president's seat before he was promoted to chairman. This was as fast as a rocket launch, and even he couldn't believe it. So he smiled slightly, clenched his left fist slightly, and then coughed lightly: "Ahem!"

The crowd immediately fell silent. Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry to disappoint you. I know that you all have many questions. In light of President Su's question, I can only say that I have no family background. I'm just a clown."

He spoke very frankly, without any attempt to conceal his true feelings.

Su Haijun sneered and said, "How is that possible? If the chairman didn't have any family background, how could he become the chairman of Tang's Group, and even the largest shareholder of Tang's Group?"

Logically speaking, even if their father "stepped down," the biggest beneficiaries of the company would be them. Given this, Su Haijun and the others assumed that the Tang Group had been acquired by a company or individual. However, upon investigation, they found that this was not the case, which is why they dared to raise their questions.
