Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 178 - 140: Too Bad You’re Just a Rideshare Driver
As the call connected, Yang Chen directly expressed his intentions to Thomas Robinson.
Thomas Robinson immediately laughed happily, knowing that Yang Chen needed his help, which meant he could set his own conditions.
"We can fulfill Mr. Yang’s request right away. Marta Chris, a brain cancer expert, Paul Fei Man, a gastric cancer expert, and Jones Marcus, a liver cancer expert, the top three experts in the world, we can immediately arrange for them to serve Mr. Yang in Hai City. We would like to become allies with Mr. Yang, what does Mr. Yang think?" Thomas Robinson said confidently.
Wasn’t this obviously a way to use the three experts to coerce Yang Chen into following their lead?
Although Yang Chen indeed needed their help, it didn’t necessarily mean he had to obey them.
Success depends on one’s efforts; just a change in perspective could lead to a different outcome.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Of course, I certainly want to become allies with you. I heard that they plan to propose increasing their shareholding to 31%, allowing them to join forces with me to control the entire Longmei Group. In the future, they could reject any proposals from the United States, and any proposals they make would surely pass smoothly. But then I realized this is unfair to you, so I haven’t agreed yet. Of course, since I’m from Dragon Country and they are official personnel, I can’t directly refuse either. So, I’m now torn whether to accept their demands or reject them in the interest of fairness. Mr. Robinson, what do you think I should choose?"
This strategy is about turning the tables from passive to active.
Thomas Robinson was taken aback. If the Dragon Country Pharmaceutical Association really united with Yang Chen, they would dominate the shareholders’ meeting, and the United States wouldn’t have a place.
Sever ties completely, each going their own way?
That’s certainly not an option.
Firstly, the hospital is indeed profitable.
With Dragon Country’s large population, millions upon millions visit Longmei Hospital every year for treatment.
That’s all money, and the United States doesn’t want to abandon this cash cow.
Secondly, although neither side yields to the other, and they operate parallelly on a regular basis, the establishment of this hospital is a symbol of the friendly relations between the two countries. No one dares to suggest going their separate ways, as whoever suggests it would have to bear the potential troubles in the future.
Everyone knows it well, maintaining mutual understanding, not interfering with each other, but the formality cannot be truly broken.
So, Thomas Robinson was now anxious and hurriedly said, "Mr. Yang is right, we must adhere to fair principles in doing things."
"Yes, Mr. Robinson is right. Oh dear, aren’t we going off topic? I called to ask for three experts to come over immediately, how did we get to discussing company shareholding? Um... Mr. Robinson, can you arrange for those three experts to come over immediately?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes! Of course, we can! However, I also have one request for Mr. Yang. That is, you must not agree to the Dragon Country Pharmaceutical Association’s proposal to increase their shareholding, you must vote against it," Thomas Robinson said.
Randomly mentioning a fabricated issue, this foreigner was utterly shocked.
It seems Yang Chen’s 20% shareholding indeed has great power, perhaps even more beneficial than the two major shareholders.
At this point, Yang Chen also reached a conclusion—that is, not to favor either side, not to truly let them break up, nor to let them unite.
The more fiercely they fight, the more valuable Yang Chen’s 20% shareholding becomes, and the more benefits he will reap.
"This... Mr. Robinson wants me to refuse the Dragon Country Pharmaceutical Association, but this..." Yang Chen pretended to be in a difficult position.
Thomas Robinson: "I know this will bring a lot of trouble for Mr. Yang, as it’s your official association, surely you’d face immense pressure. But I can’t help you for nothing, right? You have to give me some benefit; mutual assistance leads the way to a long journey."
Enough was enough; if the conversation continued, Yang Chen himself couldn’t hold back his laughter.
This foreigner is really getting the hang of it, quite good at reasoning.
Yang Chen sighed and said, "Alright! To save people, I’ll withstand any pressure! If they dare bring up such a request at the shareholders’ meeting, I will definitely vote against it!"
"Great, great! I’ll immediately arrange for the three experts to go to Dragon Country, they will fully obey Mr. Yang," Thomas Robinson said.
The matter of the experts was thus resolved, proving much simpler than Zhang Senmiao and others had anticipated.
Zhang Senmiao and others even suggested Yang Chen offer some benefit to the United States to bring the experts over, isn’t that a joke? Getting the three experts over without having to give them benefits, what was the point of Yang Chen holding the 20% share?
With admiration written all over her face, Yu Shishi said, "Sir, you’re truly amazing, even able to control the Longmei International Hospital in the United States. It’s known as a hospital with standards akin to a five-star hotel, notoriously expensive. A classmate of mine from MIT once had an appendectomy there and spent the entire 200,000 US dollars she brought with her in one go, it was terrifying. I did not expect them to listen to you like this, oh, you’re even more incredible."
At this moment, a system prompt appeared.
"Yu Shishi’s loyalty score towards the master has increased to 65, with a growth of 5 points."
It seems Longmei Hospital is very impressive in Yu Shishi’s eyes; otherwise, it wouldn’t have increased by 5 points so suddenly.
"In the future, when you get pregnant and give birth, I’ll pay for you to enjoy five-star services at Longmei Hospital," Yang Chen said with a smile.
