Chapter 367 Gao Jiajun’s Test

Gao Daqiang, however, appeared very calm. Although he didn't understand business, he was definitely a very smart person in terms of IQ. He knew that the arrival of this adopted brother was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Gao Jiajun introduced Ye Bufan, and then the few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Gao Xiaogong said, "Godfather, I have already arranged all the affairs in Hong Kong this time. I've come to spend a few more days with you, old man."

"Then, I'll help my younger brother along the way. It's his first time opening a company and he doesn't have much experience. As his older brother, I naturally have an inescapable responsibility."

Speaking of which, he looked at Gao Daqiang and said, "Da Qiang, you be the chairman of the company. I'll help you and just be the general manager."

His trip from Hong Kong to Jiangnan was indeed as Ye Bufan said, the purpose was to seize power. Gao Daqiang's sudden appearance made him feel a great threat.

With Gao Jiajun having a biological son, the adopted son's status would naturally plummet. He might even be kicked out eventually, so he had to act in advance.

Although Gao Daqiang was the biological son, he also had his own advantages, which were the connections and team he had built within Kunpeng Group over the years.

Regardless of his character, he did possess a high talent in business, which was beyond doubt. Otherwise, Gao Jiajun would not have entrusted so many businesses to him.

So he had already made his plan: ostensibly, he was helping Gao Daqiang, and he would only serve as a general manager.

In reality, he intended to seize control of all the company's operations, sideline Gao Daqiang as chairman, and install his own trusted associates in every position.

These things were not apparent now, and even in Gao Jiajun's eyes, he was sincerely helping Gao Daqiang.

But once Gao Jiajun truly died, he could immediately use his connections and resources to drain the Gao Family's assets in a short time.

By then, Gao Daqiang, as chairman, would be meaningless and would only be able to declare the company bankrupt, possibly even ending up heavily in debt.

Regarding his words, Gao Jiajun neither confirmed nor denied, but instead stood up with a smile and said, "You young men can discuss this matter among yourselves."

"I have already told Da Qiang that I will not interfere with Brothers Investment Company's affairs and will leave it to him alone to handle."

"Alright, your mother wants me to go shopping with her today, I should go."

With that, he pushed open the door and left the reception room.

Seeing the old man's behavior, Ye Bufan was even more certain that this was

testing Gao Daqiang, to see if his biological son could contend with his adopted son.

After Gao Jiajun left, Gao Xiaogong said to Gao Daqiang again, "Brother, don't be polite, and don't be embarrassed. There are only the two of us brothers in the Gao Family, and it's only right for me to help you."

"Then I thank you, Big Brother, in advance."

Although Gao Daqiang appeared somewhat dull, especially due to his physique, many people thought he was a big simpleton.

In fact, this was not the case at all; he had completely inherited Gao Jiajun's intelligent mind.

He said, "Although I am very willing for Big Brother to come and help me, unfortunately, I am only the vice chairman in the company, and major decisions still have to be made by the chairman."

Gao Xiaogong rushed over in a hurry after receiving the news and did not know much about Brothers Investment Company.

In his opinion, this company, with an investment of 20 billion, was Gao Jiajun's asset for his biological son. He never expected that Gao Daqiang was only a vice chairman.

"Didn't Godfather just say that Brothers Investment Company is all handed over to you to manage? Why is he still personally serving as chairman?"

"Later, I'll have a good talk with the old man. Doing this isn't appropriate. When it's time to delegate power, you must delegate it. After all, the future Gao Family belongs to you, Brother."

Gao Xiaogong presented himself as someone who was completely looking out for Gao Daqiang.

"Big Brother, it's not what you think. My father really doesn't care about the company," Gao Daqiang said, putting his arm around Ye Bufan's shoulder, "The chairman of the company is Xiao Fan, who owns 51% of the shares."

Upon hearing his explanation, Gao Xiaogong was immediately startled and re-examined Ye Bufan from head to toe.

He had previously thought that this was just an ordinary shareholder of the company or a friend of Gao Daqiang's, and never expected him to be the chairman.

He couldn't understand why Gao Jiajun would make such a decision. Could it be that this Young man was his other illegitimate son? But they didn't resemble each other at all.

Furthermore, if he were an illegitimate son, with his current status and position, he could completely acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family; there would be no need to hide.

But he quickly recovered from his shock and said with a warm smile, "I never expected, Brother Ye, that you are so young and accomplished! To be so highly regarded by my Godfather, you must be a rare young talent."

"Mr. Gao, you flatter me."

Ye Bufan merely nodded slightly. Although the other party was well-disguised, he could still keenly detect the hypocrisy and hostility in Gao Xiaogong's eyes.

Gong then said, "Mr. Ye, where were you previously employed? Were you the CEO of some large group company?"

Ye Bufan said, "I am a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Oh! A doctor is good. Healing the sick and saving lives, noble character."

The man was full of compliments, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. If he were a business elite, things would be more difficult to handle.

But since the other party was only a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, he would certainly not be proficient in business management, which meant there was an opportunity to act.

He said with a beaming smile, "Brother Ye, you are Da Qiang's brother, which means you are also my brother."

"Don't worry, as long as I serve as the general manager, with my many years of experience, I will definitely manage the company well. You and Da Qiang just need to wait to count your money."

This man, taking the initiative, directly placed himself in the position of general manager.

Ye Bufan was too lazy to play along with him and said directly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, we already have a candidate for our general manager."

Gao Xiaogong's expression froze, and then he said, "Da Qiang, Brother Ye, let me tell you, based on my many years of experience, the position of general manager is extremely important. The success or failure of a company's operations depends entirely on the general manager."

"I can't say for sure about other things, but your brother here has been through the wringer in the business world for many years, and I'm quite good at management. I'm not someone an ordinary person can compare to."

"As long as you hand the company over to me, it will definitely grow stronger and bigger in the future, and breaking out of China to go global will be just around the corner."

"Moreover, it's our family's industry; how can we feel at ease entrusting it to outsiders?"

"Listen to your older brother's advice: hand the company over to me and fire that general manager, or let him be the deputy general manager. As your older brother, I will definitely not let you down."

Ye Bufan said, "Mr. Gao, I think the current general manager is very competent, and there is no reason to fire him."

"It's only been a few days, you can't tell anything yet," Gao Xiaogong still said unyieldingly, "As far as I know, our investment company is involved in both jewelry and film and television."

"Let me tell you, our Gao Family started in the jewelry business. Not only do I have experience, but I also have sufficient resources in the jewelry industry, which an ordinary manager cannot compare to."

He was vigorously promoting himself. If he couldn't get the general manager position, he wouldn't be able to control Brothers Investment Company.

Once Gao Daqiang was allowed to grow stronger and bigger with this company, his future position in Gao Jiajun's heart would be precarious.
