Chapter 61 Will You Marry Me?
The news of Sheng Bokai's downfall was like a spark thrown into a boiling oil pan, instantly causing an uproar throughout the business community of the Yangtze River Delta.
The official website's announcement was strongly worded, listing multiple charges against him, including organizing and leading a criminal gang, commercial bribery, and illegally appropriating other people's property.
Shengyuan's stock price immediately hit the daily limit down within half an hour of the market opening, wiping out nearly 10 billion yuan in market value.
The board of directors held an emergency meeting overnight. The lights in the meeting room stayed on all night, and the room was filled with suppressed arguments amidst the swirling smoke.
The next morning, the group's official website released a major announcement:
Sheng Bokai was removed from all his positions, his shares in Jiekai Energy were liquidated, and Jiekai Energy was completely separated from the Shengyuan system.
Having lost his backer, Sheng Xingjie was stopped by security guards as soon as he arrived at the building. Seeing the disdainful looks from his former subordinates who had once treated him with utmost respect, he could only slink away in his car and was never heard from again.
In the chairman's office, Sheng Xianmin sat behind a large mahogany desk, looking at a photo of Sheng Bokai when he was young. His eyes were complicated, and finally turned into a heavy sigh.
Over the years, he wasn't unaware that Sheng Bokai had shady methods, but out of consideration for their father-son relationship and the stability of the group, he had always turned a blind eye. He never expected...
Hey...
"Grandpa." Lin Yusen pushed open the door and entered, still carrying the chill of the morning air.
Sheng Xianmin looked up at him, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Yusen, you've come."
"Given Sheng Yuan's current state, only you can hold the company together. I've decided to hand over the position of the group's heir to you."
Lin Yusen stood there, looking at the expectation in Sheng Xianmin's eyes, and remained silent for a full half minute before slowly shaking his head: "Grandpa, thank you for your trust, but I cannot accept this position."
"Why?" Sheng Xianmin frowned, his tone filled with confusion and urgency. "You are the most outstanding child in the Sheng family this generation. Whether it is ability or character, you far surpass others."
"No one but you can stabilize Shengyuan's situation."
"I have my own life." Lin Yusen's tone was calm but firm. "I gave up my career as a neurosurgeon because of a hand injury. Over the years, I have never been truly happy in the business world."
He paused, then looked out the window: "Moreover, what Shengyuan needs is a leader who is fully committed to the real economy and deeply rooted in the industry, not an heir whose heart is in medicine. I recommend Sheng Xingxiu. She has worked her way up from the bottom in the group for five years, from a marketing specialist to a regional manager. She understands the business, has the courage, and most importantly, she has no connection with Sheng Bokai's faction. She is fair in her work and can win people's respect."
Sheng Xianmin stared at Lin Yusen for a long time.
Finally, he slowly nodded: "Okay, I trust your judgment. I'll arrange for someone to handle things with Shengxingxiu."
The news caused an uproar throughout the Shengyuan Group.
No one expected Lin Yusen to refuse the inheritance that was within his grasp, and even fewer people expected him to recommend the little-known Shengxingxiu.
However, as Sheng Xingxiu took office, he implemented a series of decisive measures to reorganize the internal affairs, and the group's stock price gradually stabilized and rebounded.
It was only then that people gradually came to know this granddaughter of the Sheng family who had always been looked down upon.
After completing the handover procedures, Lin Yusen completely withdrew from Shengyuan Group, retaining only his shares in Shuangyuan Photovoltaic, and turned his attention to the preparation work for the brain-computer interface experiment.
At the same time, Shuangyuan Photovoltaic also ushered in a historic change.
Zhang Tianhua voluntarily submitted his resignation to the board of directors.
At the company-wide meeting, the white-haired factory director said emotionally, "I have worked in the photovoltaic industry for twenty years and witnessed the ups and downs of Shuangyuan. Now, with Yu Chen as a core technical expert and Lin Yusen as a leader, I can confidently hand over the reins. The future belongs to the young people. I hope you can lead Shuangyuan to even greater heights."
The audience erupted in applause, and many long-time employees had tears in their eyes.
The board of directors unanimously passed a resolution to formally appoint Lin Yusen as the general manager of Shuangyuan Photovoltaic.
On the day the appointment was announced, red banners were hung all over the Shuangyuan factory area, the news was broadcast on a loop, and the employees' faces were filled with excited smiles.
Nie Xiguang stood by the window of the R&D building, looking at the bustling scene below, clutching a newly acquired equity certificate tightly in his hand.
Jiang Yun has officially transferred her Shuangyuan shares to Nie Xiguang's name. Together with the shares held by Lin Yusen, the two have become the two major shareholders of Shuangyuan Photovoltaic, firmly controlling the company's development direction.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Chen walked up from behind, gently put his arm around her waist, and rested his chin on the top of her head.
Nie Xiguang turned around and leaned against him, her face full of smiles: "I'm thinking, it all feels like a dream. Just a few months ago, I was still sorting through old contracts in the archives. I never imagined I would become a shareholder of the company now."
Yu Chen lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead: "This is all you deserve. You have contributed so much to the company, whether it was investigating the old accounts of the purchasing department or staying up all night in the lab to organize data, you have made invaluable contributions."
He paused, then took a document from his pocket and handed it to her: "This is the latest equity certificate of Chenguang Technology. Shuangyuan's 5% stake has been officially registered under the company's name."
Nie Xiguang took the document and looked at the clear shareholding ratio on it, his eyes slightly warming up.
She knew that behind that 5% stake were countless nights of hard work by Yu Chen, and the confidence he gained through his cutting-edge technology.
"Yu Chen." She looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes, "Do you remember something I once said?"
"I'll also try my best to let my husband take it easy; you don't really need to work so hard!"
Yu Chen wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Silly girl, we are family. No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together."
At this moment, the laboratory of Chenguang Business Unit was bustling with activity.
Under Yu Chen's leadership, perovskite tandem solar cell technology has made continuous breakthroughs.
This completely breaks the industry curse that "high-end technology inevitably comes at a high cost".
"President Yu, the latest stability test results are in! No degradation for a thousand consecutive hours, all indicators meet the standards!" Hua Xiangyang rushed into the laboratory excitedly, holding the test report, his voice trembling.
Cheers erupted in the lab, and everyone excitedly high-fived and hugged each other.
The hard work, sleepless nights, and repeated experiments over the past few months have finally yielded a satisfactory result.
Yu Chen took the report and read it carefully, a relieved smile appearing on his face: "Good! Notify the marketing department that we can officially accept orders now."
As soon as the news was announced, clients from both home and abroad extended offers of business.
Several leading domestic photovoltaic companies immediately sent letters of intent for cooperation, and overseas customers also actively connected through emails, video conferences and other means, with orders flying to Shuangyuan Photovoltaic like snowflakes.
"Mr. Yu, a European green energy group wants to sign a long-term supply agreement with us, with a monthly purchase volume of no less than five million pieces!"
'
The marketing manager reported excitedly.
"Mr. Yu, the photovoltaic power plant project owners in Southeast Asia are willing to pay a 10% premium to purchase our battery modules and have requested that we give them priority in supply!"
"Mr. Yu, a domestic power grid company wants to cooperate with us to build a demonstration power plant, using our technology to create the world's first large-scale perovskite tandem solar cell power plant!"
Faced with a flood of orders, Lin Yusen quickly made a decision to expand production lines, recruit skilled workers, and optimize the supply chain, propelling Shuangyuan Photovoltaic into a period of rapid development.
New factory buildings have sprung up in the factory area, production lines are running 24 hours a day, and transport vehicles come and go, creating a busy scene.
As a shareholder of the company and a core member of the project team, Nie Xiguang has become even busier.
She not only had to participate in the laboratory's data recording and analysis work, but also assist Lin Yusen in handling the company's shareholder affairs and participate in major decision-making discussions.
Although she was extremely busy every day, her face always radiated a fulfilling and satisfied smile.
That evening, after finishing their work, Yu Chen and Nie Xiguang walked side by side on the path in the factory area.
As night deepened, the streetlights in the factory area emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating the figures of the two people leaning on each other.
"Are you tired?" Yu Chen held Nie Xiguang's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm.
"I'm a little tired, but I'm very happy." Nie Xiguang leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "Seeing your skills recognized and the company grow step by step makes all the hard work worthwhile."
Yu Chen stopped and turned to look at her, his eyes gentle yet firm: "Xi Guang, thank you for always being there for me. Without you, I might not be where I am today."
"We've helped each other succeed." Nie Xiguang looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. "Yu Chen, do you know? Everyone in the industry is saying that Shuangyuan will change the landscape of the global photovoltaic industry, and you will become a legend in this industry."
Yu Chen smiled and did not deny it: "I dare not call it a legend, but I want to lead Shuangyuan and Chenguang Technology to the top of the industry and let our technology illuminate more places."
He paused, took a velvet box from his pocket, and knelt on one knee: "Nie Xiguang, meeting you is the greatest luck of my life. I have no earth-shattering vows, only a heart that is loyal to you and responsible for you."
"will you marry me?"
