Chapter 1438 The Tremendous Changes at Lianke
Wen Jingchuan shook his head with a solemn expression.
According to the information relayed by his confidant, Vice Director Jia Yikun has gained the support of the vast majority of directors, and the current board of directors is no longer under his control as chairman.
Lu Feng's expression was also grim. Not long ago, he had reached a cooperation agreement with Wen Jingchuan, ensuring that many Chinese companies would not be left without chips.
As a result, the supply and demand relationship between the two parties has not yet been fully established, and Chairman Wen Jingchuan is about to step down, which may affect their cooperation.
"Sigh, I should have noticed it sooner. If I had listened to Boyu back then, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
Wen Jingchuan sighed repeatedly. The Boyu he mentioned was his confidant and also the company's vice president.
"Chairman Wen, pull yourself together! Things aren't hopeless yet! We still have a chance!"
Lu Feng reached out and patted his shoulder, saying:
"Have you forgotten that you still have me? I hold 20% of Linkcore's shares! Those shares carry considerable weight even on the board of directors!"
"Crack!"
Lu Feng's words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through the darkness that had enveloped Wen Jingchuan's heart.
Yes, how could he forget the person in front of him? This person holds 20% of Lianke's shares, second only to the chairman among Lianke's many shareholders.
With his support, and if he manages to win over another shareholder, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain.
Moreover, and most importantly, Lu Feng's identity is not simply that he holds 20% of the shares in Lianke Group.
Lu Feng has two major business empires behind him and several powerful figures backing him up.
If he could gain Lu Feng's full support, even taking down Jia Yikun wouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, he could no longer contain his excitement and grabbed Lu Feng's hand:
"Mr. Lu, you absolutely have to help me!"
Seeing his excited expression, Lu Feng reached out and patted the back of his hand:
"Don't worry, Chairman Wen. You helped me a lot when I was in trouble before, so I won't abandon you this time either!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingchuan felt a slight sense of relief, but he was still not completely at ease.
He knew Jia Yikun too well. The two had been rivals for over a decade, fighting each other within the Lianke Group. Since the other party dared to launch an attack at this time, he must have made thorough preparations.
Even if Lu Feng is very strong, it's not certain that he can take down this old fox, not to mention that behind him there might be chip empires like Qualcomm or even Samsung.
"Chairman Lu, what are your plans?"
He looked at Lu Feng, hoping that this big shot who had created countless miracles could bring him a different kind of surprise.
"I haven't decided yet!"
Lu Feng shook his head frankly, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
Seeing this, Wen Jingchuan was somewhat disappointed, but he could understand. This happened too suddenly. Not to mention Lu Feng, an outsider, even he himself was not prepared.
"By the way, Chairman Wen, did Jia Yikun, the one you mentioned, come this time?"
Suddenly, Lu Feng seemed to have thought of something.
"They're here! Not only him, but his confidant, Han Heng, the president of Lianke, is here too!"
Wen Jingchuan responded with a bitter expression.
"What? The president of LinkTech isn't one of your people?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng uttered a questioning remark in a low voice.
Normally, the president of a group is usually a confidant of the chairman, while only the vice president is appointed by the board of directors to monitor the chairman and the president.
How come at Lianke, the vice president has become the chairman's confidant, while the president has become the vice chairman's confidant?
"Chairman Lu, you don't know this, there's a reason for this..."
Wen Jingchuan sighed again and explained the reason in detail.
It turns out that he and Vice Chairman Jia Yikun had been engaged in a fierce power struggle at Lianke for more than a decade, and the two sides had always been evenly matched, even in the matter of running for chairman.
However, he ultimately outmaneuvered the others and secured the chairmanship. But Jia Yikun was no pushover; he immediately rallied the other directors and brought the president's position under his control.
By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late. In order to increase his influence within the group, he placed one of his own people in the position of vice president.
With this, the organizational structure of LinkTech was officially established, consisting of the Chairman's faction led by Wen Jingchuan and Vice President Zhang Boyu, and the Vice Chairman's faction led by Vice Chairman Jia Yikun and President Han Heng.
The two factions have been fighting each other within the group for years, which has even affected the development of Linkage.
Otherwise, Linktronics might be even stronger than Qualcomm now.
"I see, you guys are really interesting."
After hearing all this, Lu Feng couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Because of some power dynamics, the two sides have actually fought to this extent, a situation that would never happen in his Fengyuan Group or the Lu Group.
However, he soon stopped laughing.
He suddenly realized that the reason his group was able to develop steadily was because he was the absolute leader.
As long as he's around, the two major groups won't cause any trouble. But what if he's gone one day?
Will these two major groups also fall into the same predicament as Linklogis?
Please don't think this is an exaggeration.
You have to understand, even though he has some advantages, he will eventually grow old and have children.
When he's gone, will his children fight each other over power and wealth?
This is not impossible. Just look at the Zhu brothers, Zhu Zhengting and Zhu Zhenglin, and then think about the Ye brothers, Ye Wenyuan and Ye Wenwu.
And then there were Wen Jingchuan and Jia Yikun in front of him; all these examples made him worry.
Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'm still young, why should I think so much? Let's focus on the things in front of us first!
The more Lu Feng thought about it, the more confused he became, so he threw all the jumbled thoughts out of his head.
"Chairman Wen, you just said that Jia Yikun brought his confidants. So where are they now?"
After throwing out those messy thoughts, Lu Feng asked another question.
"Hey, over there! That guy chatting so enthusiastically with Qualcomm board member Hawkins is him!"
Wen Jingchuan gritted his teeth and pointed in another direction. Lu Feng looked in the direction he was pointing: a man who looked to be only about forty years old was chatting with a blond, blue-eyed foreigner.
Beside the two, there was another Asian face smiling obsequiously; presumably, it was Han Heng, the president of LinkTech.
"So he's your rival. He's certainly good-looking..."
