Chapter 128 Investing in Kerong
Ling Ruiyuan quickly walked downstairs to the apartment building.
Wei Shen was already waiting downstairs.
But this time he called a driver instead of driving himself.
Wei Shen sat in the back row and reported the current situation to Ling Ruiyuan.
"Tell me in detail what's going on." Ling Ruiyuan's voice was almost cold.
Wei Shen did not hesitate and started reporting immediately.
Ling Fan had previously invested in a technology company, which was a project that Ling Ruiyuan was very optimistic about. If it developed steadily, the prospects would be very optimistic.
But I just received news that a fire broke out in a technology company and most of the scientific research data was burned.
It’s not that technology companies cannot develop the product from scratch, but this will waste a lot of time.
If it were any other time, Ling Ruiyuan could wait, but it had to be this time.
Ling Ruiyuan recalled the worried look in his uncle's eyes during the meeting that day.
"Ruiyuan, it's not that I disagree with you investing in this project, but this project is indeed unstable, so I don't recommend investing."
Ling Fan is not completely under the control of Ling Ruiyuan now, and his third uncle Ling Ke has been watching him covetously.
Moreover, because Mr. Ling's eldest son, Ling Ruiyuan's father, died early, Mr. Ling handed over many important tasks to Ling Ke. Many of Ling Fan's elders felt that Ling Ke should be the next person in power.
So I have always believed in Ling Ke.
As soon as Ling Ruiyuan took over, there were actually many voices of opposition, but Ling Ruiyuan turned a deaf ear to them and just did what he had to do seriously.
Gradually, everyone began to change their opinion of Ling Ruiyuan.
But this project is indeed very dangerous now.
Everyone thinks that they should not invest in this start-up company.
This company has several young people with high education and good brains, but they are too young and they are not confident in their abilities.
However, the investment they want to attract is still in the tens of millions.
Although Ling Fan's family is wealthy and has no shortage of money, everyone is accustomed to the management strategy of the old man's generation. They only invest in stable companies that can make money and not in companies that have no achievements.
Now that Ling Ruiyuan suddenly said he wanted to invest, everyone was naturally unhappy.
But Ling Ruiyuan was the old man's personal disciple, so they couldn't say anything.
Ling Ke is different. He is Ling Ruiyuan’s third uncle and has an advantage in terms of seniority.
If Ling Ke said these words, there would definitely be an advantage.
A few brave ones immediately agreed.
"Yes, Mr. Ling, we also know that this company may have a promising future, but they can't achieve any results. It would be too much of a joke for us to just give them tens of millions."
"They are just a few young boys. I think they should calm down a little."
For a while, voices of disapproval arose one after another.
Ling Ruiyuan also knew about it.
Ling Ke actually wanted him to face such a situation.
He always felt that he had taken his place, so he was always happy to show off his status in Ling Fan.
Ling Ruiyuan didn't care about that. "Whether you agree or not, I will invest in this project today."
Ling Ke looked anxious, "Ruiyuan, everything we said is for your own good."
After saying this, he still had a sad look on his face, as if he was really a kind elder, watching his junior looking into the abyss and insisting on jumping down, feeling anxious and helpless.
"How about, Uncle San pays you half of the money, and you pay the other half, and you invest with your own reputation instead of the company's reputation?"
Ling Ke even came up with a compromise.
The way people in the conference room looked at Ling Ke changed.
President Ling Ke is too good to President Ling. It was obviously President Ling who snatched President Ling Ke's position as president, but President Ling Ke still considers President Ling in everything for the sake of President Ling's reputation.
Everyone looked at Ling Ruiyuan's face and lowered their heads quickly. It's not that Mr. Ling is incapable, but he is too young and impetuous.
This technology company does seem to be able to make money, but probably not in the near future, so they want to wait until the product is officially launched to see the response.
Ling Ruiyuan no longer wanted to listen to what they were saying.
He does not disrespect the opinions of these people, but he is the one who makes the decision and will also be the one to bear the responsibility.
"That's it."
Ling Ruiyuan turned around and told Wei Shen, "Wei Shen, remember to contact Ke Rong and get the money out as soon as possible."
Wei Shen took a step forward, responded, and then stepped back.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ling Ruiyuan, Ling Ke could only sigh, "Ruiyuan, the company is not just yours. You are responsible for all of us."
Ling Ruiyuan nodded and said, "If Kerong doesn't make money within a year, I will resign automatically."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Ke shut up immediately, and no one else in the meeting room dared to speak either.
This really annoyed Mr. Ling.
However, there were also a few people who were secretly happy.
Ling Ruiyuan has no son. Ling Ruiyuan's second uncle is just an ordinary person. He found that he had no talent and stopped interfering in the company's affairs a long time ago.
Doesn't this mean that Ling Ke can finally get promoted?
They believed that Mr. Ling Ke would definitely remember their support back then.
Ling Ruiyuan just smiled coldly and swept his gaze across the entire audience. Those people who had just been secretly delighted also stopped smiling and their faces darkened.
It seems that Ling Ruiyuan shouldn’t say this.
"However, if Ke Rong makes more money in half a year than he does now, everyone here should remember not to dictate my decisions in the future."
His eyes quickly swept across Ling Ke's face without stopping.
But Ling Ke knew that Ling Ruiyuan's words were directed at him.
Ling Ruiyuan has been constrained and troubled, and he doesn't want to continue to be the "regent".
There was no change in his expression, but he sneered in his heart.
Some things originally belong to him, so he should get his share if he takes them back.
Since Ling Ruiyuan had already said this, it was natural for everyone to have nothing to say next.
Finally, everyone agreed to invest in Kerong Company. They could get the 40 million they wanted, and the funds would be approved very quickly.
After working as an executive for so many years, it's natural that his brain is very useful.
They knew that Ling Ruiyuan would not fire them because of this.
So if Ling Ruiyuan's decision this time is indeed correct, then everyone will just follow Ling Ruiyuan to make money in the future.
If Ling Ruiyuan made a mistake in this investment, it would also be the group's mistake.
When Ling Ruiyuan steps down, Ling Ke will always take over, it’s just that someone else will lead them in making money.
There is no difference.
So naturally there is nothing to object to.
Lingfan Group’s investment in Kerong Company was finalized at this meeting.
All executives agreed to invest in Kerong.
Ling Ruiyuan is also paying close attention to the developments of Kerong Company in real time.
Everything seems to be thriving. Kerong Company's product is a personal AI butler, which is divided into several levels and the price is relatively reasonable.
As long as it is on the market, it will definitely cause a great response.
Ling Ruiyuan feels that the most worrying thing is the problem of product supply exceeding demand, not anything else.
However, Wei Shen called him on Saturday night to tell him that something had happened to Ke Rong.
