Zhang Chaoyue succinctly explained the real purpose of the sales competition between the three subsidiaries at the board meeting.

Only then did the other directors, except the three Dongfang brothers, understand the old chairman's good intentions.

Everyone knows that the old chairman is seriously ill and does not have much energy to manage the group company. The weekly routine inspection is just a show, more like a formality.

In fact, it is General Manager Gao Weibang who actually manages the group company now.

But the final decision-making power still lies with the old chairman.

At present, the existence of the old chairman has almost only the symbolic meaning of the group company.

In the past two years, the group company has not taken any new reform measures. These directors have long had opinions on the old chairman.

For several years, the domestic market has been sluggish, overseas markets have been turbulent, and shipyard production has been very unstable.

Either the work is insufficient, or the goods cannot be supplied in time, which greatly affects the group company's credibility with customers.

It is against this background that three subsidiaries were established to increase sales efforts and increase service information collection.

They are controlled by the three Dongfang brothers respectively.

When the three subsidiaries were established, the old chairman was seriously ill and had no time to take care of the work at the headquarters.

At that time, some directors had already proposed changing the chairman.

Dongrun Shipbuilding Group is a family business, and the Dongfang family has absolute controlling rights. If Dongfang Shenglong does not want to retire, no matter how noisy the directors are, they will not be able to influence his decision.

In order to appease the people, Dongfang Shenglong once promised them that he would definitely make arrangements for his successor during his lifetime.

These directors were relieved.

In fact, the three Dongfang brothers have long been holding back their efforts to compete openly and covertly.

They all want to perform well in front of their father.

As the eldest brother, Dongfang Xiangqi took this matter so seriously that he even stopped dating and focused on running his own Xinghai Company.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Weiya appearing in front of him that his love brain finally opened up, and that was all.

Dongfang Xiangrui and Dongfang Xiangqi have the same thoughts. The eldest brother does not want to get married. As the second child, he does not want to get married earlier than his eldest brother, but there is never a shortage of women around him.

As for the old pimple Dongfang Xianglin, he has never dreamed of the position of chairman.

However, there are elder brothers and two younger brothers in front of me, and the company they own is more likely to produce results than my own company, and it is easier to appear outstanding in front of my old father.

On this point, he felt like a mirror in his mind.

It was obvious that he could not compete with the eldest and second brothers.

The eldest brother has technology and ability, but he is not as scheming as the second brother. On the surface, the eldest brother's company's performance is better, but he feels that the eldest brother is not a real competitor.

The real opponent is the second brother.

Second Brother's city is relatively deep, and the essence of many things is not what is visible on the surface, and most people cannot guess it.

This is exactly what is so scary about the second brother.

He must always be on guard against his second brother.

This is also the reason why he sent Lin Weiya to his second brother.

But the second brother seemed to have figured out his thoughts, so he transferred Lin Weiya to the eldest brother's company.

He once felt that he had done something extremely stupid, but in fact Lin Weiya also provided him with a lot of valuable information.

This information is of great help to his business.

Until now, he feels that he made the right move.

The three subsidiary competition rules are simple.

That is, as of the end of October, we will see which company has the highest sales performance.

This thing cannot be faked, just look at the financial statements of the head office.

There are staff members who distribute financial statements to each director.

The sales performance rankings of the three subsidiaries are as follows.

Xinghai Company 9.8 billion yuan.

Wanghai Company 9.5 billion yuan.

Fahai Company 9.3 billion yuan.

The other directors were not surprised at all when they saw the report. Xinghai Company's sales performance has always been among the best, which was as early as they expected.

Dongfang Cheung Kei's appointment as chairman can be said to be a popular choice.

But Dongfang Xiangqi broke out in a cold sweat.

Last night he asked the financial director of the group company.

The financial director only told him that Xinghai Company currently ranked first, but did not tell him the total amount, saying that the chairman asked for confidentiality.

He also asked the financial director of Xinghai Company and the total amount should be 10.3 billion.

There are discrepancies here.

He wanted to ask why.

Seeing his father's serious face and the calm faces of his second and third brothers, he did not speak rashly.

My father once said that those with sales of less than 10 billion are not qualified to serve as the new chairman.

According to the data on the report, 9.8 billion cannot meet the father's standards.

His heart felt a little cold.

He was unwilling to give in and didn't know why there was a difference of 500 million in this report.

At this point, it would be pointless to argue with my father.

He knows his father's temper. The data he gets on the board of directors is the real data. Even if it is wrong, it will become true.

Dongfang Xiangrui did not react abnormally when he saw the report. He glanced at his eldest brother and third brother, lowered his eyelids, and continued reading the report.

Dongfang Xianglin curled his lips, seemed to make a face, and immediately calmed down. He didn't speak out what he thought like before, he was calmer than before.

One of the directors spoke.

"The rankings have been determined. According to the rules of the competition, the eldest son will serve as the new chairman."

Someone immediately echoed.

Dongfang Shenglong coughed twice.

"Just now, when Lawyer Zhang read out the rules of the competition, he missed a restriction. Anyone whose sales performance is less than 10 billion is not qualified to serve as the new chairman. According to the performance report, the three brothers are not qualified."

When Lawyer Zhang read out the rules of the competition just now, he did not mention this one.

Except for the three Dongfang brothers, the other directors were unaware of this restriction.

Several directors were deeply surprised, and some people were already whispering.

Soon someone asked the old chairman why such a restriction was added?

Dongfang Shenglong is straightforward.

"This is the threshold I set. If you don't even have the ability to cross the threshold, what qualifications do you have to serve as the new chairman?"

Dongfang Shenglong's tone was firm, and this sentence seemed to be the final conclusion.

None of the three Dongfang brothers is qualified to serve as the new chairman.

Everyone's attention was focused on his words. No one paid attention. This time he didn't cough or cover his mouth with a white handkerchief.

Dongfang Xiangqi is like cold water poured on the head, which makes his heart feel cold.

He wanted to plead his case and ask the finance department to check the report to see what went wrong and why it was inconsistent with Xinghai Company's report.

Then I thought about it, my father must have carefully reviewed this report, and he definitely did not review it alone. The head office's finances are extremely strict, and the chance of errors is very small. It can be said that there has never been an error.

If I question the group company's financial statements at the board meeting, it is obvious that I am going against my father and do not believe him.

This will not only leave a very bad impression on my father, but will also make other directors feel that they disrespect their father and the old chairman.

Even if you prove to be right in the end, it will have irreparable consequences.

It not only affects his father's authority, but also makes others think that he is a carefree person, which is very detrimental to the future management of the group company.

Dongfang Xiangqi felt very entangled, conflicted, and even a little irritable.

But this opportunity is extremely precious. If you miss it, what will happen next will be even more unpredictable.

Because he saw that the second brother's sales performance was not much different from his, and even the third brother's sales were beyond his expectation.

He was struggling secretly when Gao Weibang spoke.

"What does the chairman mean that this competition is over? Do you have any advice on the alternative candidates for the new chairman?"

Everyone can hear what Mr. Gao said.

It seems that it is completely unnecessary for the old chairman to do this. A competition was launched with great fanfare and the rankings were obtained, but no one was qualified to serve as the new chairman.
