Chapter 1202: Influenced
Qi Xuansu once again stayed at Tianfu Palace, following his usual custom.
Little Yin was delighted to return to familiar grounds, as she also got to see her friends again. More accurately, her little group of followers.
Normally, a shareholders’ meeting should first be convened to obtain the consent of the majority before reorganizing the shareholders. However, since the Wang family had fallen and most shareholders were either dead or imprisoned, their vote was no longer counted, so they simply skipped this procedure.
There were still a few old shareholders, such as Du Yuhua. But after barely surviving this crisis, she was fortunate enough to preserve herself. Thus, she dared not ask for more and naturally kept quiet.
This time, Qi Xuansu had come mainly to divide up the remaining 30% of the shares. He sought out Du Yuhua for a long talk and told her that the Daoist Order would still allow her to repurchase shares. Du Yuhua originally wanted nothing more to do with the Nanyang United Trading Company, but after Qi Xuansu assured her that the company was no longer an issue, she agreed and symbolically held a 1% share.
Du Yuhua’s son, Du Fuzhou, did not take part in this matter. She sent him to Jade Capital to join his father, clearly determined to keep him far away from Poluo.
With 30% of the shares so fiercely contested and so many people scrambling for them, why would Qi Xuansu still set aside one share for Du Yuhua? The reason was that he used Du Yuhua for image sake. After all, she was an old shareholder. To leave not a single old shareholder behind would look bad, and it would be hard to justify.
The remaining 29% came to a total of 2.9 million Taiping coins at 100,000 Taiping coins per share.
Big pies were easy to cut. The smaller the portions, the harder it was, because cutting out one share or two required careful thought.
Qi Xuansu had been busy with these matters these past few days. Besides Daoist nobles, many local tycoons also wanted to buy in, and he could not ignore them. Each of these merchants was powerful, capable of producing millions of Taiping coins. That was why Qi Xuansu had set a 2% cap.
Every day, all sorts of people called on Chief Deputy Qi, so many that some even had to queue.
Within a few days, rumors began to circulate, saying that Qi Xuansu looked very much like another Nanyang emperor. In the past, it had been a three-way balance between Great Sage Lan, Golden Patriarch, and Wang Jiaohe. Now the first two remained, but Qi Xuansu had replaced Wang Jiaohe.
