Chapter 971: Chapter 342: Helicopter to the Great Wall to Pick Up Yang Chen (Part 3)

Jonathan wouldn’t give up easily, quickly saying, "Mr. Yang, we’ve prepared our speech, why don’t you represent us on stage?"

Yang Chen chuckled, replying softly, "Both presidents, please don’t make this difficult for me. I’m just here to broaden my horizons; no need for me to speak on stage, you should go instead."

Yang Chen refused to go on stage, and neither of these foreigners dared to force him.

From the rear right side in the auto sales channels’ representatives area, All-Star Group’s Chairman Liao Yongfu looked at Yang Chen’s side profile, his expression gradually turning sinister.

"This kid has something, turns out he’s an important shareholder for both Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and he’s also allied with Beijing Auto and Geely Auto. Difficult to deal with," Liao Yongfu thought to himself.

Leaf representative Ye Hua whispered from beside him, "Chairman Liao, that Yang Chen is a nemesis of our Ye Family. Do you have any way to deal with him?"

Liao Yongfu: "Huh? Your Ye Family has enmity with him?"

Ye Hua nodded and said, "Yes indeed! My cousin Ye Xuan is fond of Tang Family’s Tang Xia, but this kid had already gotten with Tang Xia long ago. My cousin holds a grudge, determined to destroy him. As a result, our Ye Family has become his enemy. My great-uncle is already contacting old friends in telecommunications systems, determined to destroy this guy."

Liao Yongfu nodded, thinking, "No wonder Yang Chen has had a prejudice against All-Star Group from the start, turns out it’s because the Ye Family is one of our shareholders. Damn it, now our All-Star Group has become the scapegoat? Good damn, the Ye Family hasn’t provided us much help, but they’ve attracted a huge problem for us. Admitting them as shareholders was a huge loss."

The Ye Family’s power is obvious; having absorbed them as shareholders, it’s not easy to get rid of them now.

Unless the Ye Family’s power drastically decreases, only then can All-Star Group kick them out without fear.

Currently, All-Star Group faces three choices.

First, continue hugging tightly with the Ye Family, face Yang Chen together.

But based solely on Yang Chen’s status today, wanting to destroy him seems a bit unrealistic.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Beijing Auto, Geely Auto — all four are protecting him. Worldwide, not many could touch him.

Second, watch the tigers fight from the sidelines, not join the clash between Yang Chen and the Ye Family, and decide what to do once there’s a result.

But with this choice, no matter the outcome, the winner will definitely turn their attention to deal with him.

Yang Chen dealing with him is unquestionable, there’s already enmity between them.

The Ye Family dealing with him is because he didn’t intervene at crucial times.

Third, backstab the Ye Family, unite with Yang Chen to deal with the Ye Family.

This choice implies Liao Yongfu believes Yang Chen will win, the Ye Family will lose.

From a practical interest standpoint, this choice is most suitable.

Because Yang Chen is currently the largest shareholder of Mercedes-Benz, and All-Star Group primarily handles Mercedes-Benz’s sales channels.

Pleasing Yang Chen is the most intelligent choice for them, rather than opposing him.

Liao Yongfu laughed and said, "Young Master Ye, please don’t make it difficult for me. He’s now a major shareholder of Mercedes-Benz Group, allied with Beijing Auto and Geely Auto. The three of them can already counterbalance Mercedes-Benz’s top management, if I dare to make a move against him now, our cooperation with Mercedes-Benz would essentially end. Our company’s main revenue comes from Mercedes-Benz’s sales channels and dividends from Mercedes-Benz Dragon Country. If he cuts the channels and disbands Mercedes-Benz Dragon Country, our All-Star Group would be finished. Speaking of which, we still need Ye Family’s help. If Ye Family can solve him, our All-Star Group would no longer be threatened by him."

Ye Hua confidently replied, "Don’t worry, our Ye Family has noble heritage, with powerful social connections. Merely Yang Chen, we don’t even take him seriously. Even if he’s financially strong, so what? Power is the real asset, unfortunately, he doesn’t have any."

Liao Yongfu laughed and said, "Makes sense. Then I’ll be waiting for the good news from your Ye Family. If necessary, I will also lend a hand to help you."

...

This kind of meeting is actually quite pointless, representatives from each brand give some empty speeches, while the audience politely claps, half the day soon passes.

Yang Chen didn’t want to be surrounded when the meeting ended, so he left early.

However, he instructed Savov and Jonathan to tell the presidents of Geely Auto and other companies that if time permits, they should meet for dinner at Tang Pavilion at 8 p.m.

Although Yang Chen doesn’t particularly enjoy socializing, basic human etiquette still must be observed.

These notable figures in the industry need some maintenance after all.

Upon hearing that Yang Chen would be hosting dinner, the presidents of Beijing Auto and Geely Auto, who had originally scheduled other activities, canceled them and simply waited in the hotel until the evening to join Yang Chen for dinner at Tang Pavilion.

As Yang Chen walked out of the venue, the pragmatic woman Zhang Huiwen promptly ran over.

"Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, I didn’t know your true identity. I apologize for my previous disrespect and hope you can forgive me. Let me treat you to lunch, as an apology for my behavior," Zhang Huiwen said humbly.

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile, saying, "No need. Just focus on your work. It’s over now, I won’t hold it against you."

Zhang Huiwen suggested mindlessly, "I’ve already broken up with my boyfriend, in the future, can I ask you out?"

Wow, breaking up just like that.

Yang Chen gestured for Kang Wencai, who had been watching from not far away, to come over.
