Chapter 314 The Old Fox's Methods
Zhang Rende knew that he didn't have much time left, so this time he had to pave the way for Zhang Renyi.
Although Zhang Rende looked kind, Zhang Renjia still felt a little nervous.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and it is indeed thrilling to play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in front of them.
Zhang Renjia said.
"Since you said so, I won't hide it anymore."
"Let's speak frankly and get this resolved at once."
"The Zhang family is what it is today, and you, Zhang Rende, have made an indelible contribution to this. We have also benefited a lot from it."
"But over the years, our 10 collateral branches and 6 external branches have also made outstanding contributions to the Zhang family."
"What he can share with us is enough to support his family."
“Maybe we all look so glorious to outsiders, but who can understand the pain in our hearts?”
"It's really inappropriate that your family took away the bulk of the profits and only gave us that little."
"From now on, your Zhang family will take 6%, our collateral family will take %, and the six external families will take %."
"To put it bluntly, there are only three branches of your Zhang family, and at least one family can get 10%."
"To be frank, we, the side branches and the outside branches, really don't get as much as you do. Ten of our side branches get 50%, and one of us only gets half of it."
"Don't even mention the outside companies. Only three companies can get 10%, so most of the profits are still in your hands."
"Brother, do you think what I said is reasonable?"
Zhang Rende closed his eyes slightly. What Zhang Renjia said was indeed very reasonable and seemed very fair.
The people from the side branches and outside the department nodded with satisfaction. This way, they could indeed get more dividends.
What we had before was really too little.
After all, they are the ones who do the work, and the people from the same family just talk and take away most of the profits.
At this time, everyone was observing Zhang Rende's expression.
Zhang Rende suddenly opened his eyes.
"I think what you said is very good and makes a lot of sense."
"But what you want this time is really ruthless."
"Before, your collateral and external departments combined only took 7%, but now it's suddenly reversed and you have to take %. It's a bit too much."
"Do you think you have grown stronger and become more capable after doing this for so many years?"
"Do you think you can still succeed after you leave the Zhang family's golden signboard?"
"So Brother Jia, you should think it over carefully and make some adjustments."
"Our family gets more because we want to maintain the interests of the entire family group."
"Besides, we have to make connections with so many dignitaries, but they are all made by our family. Can you guys do it?"
As soon as Zhang Rende said this, everyone was horrified. It turns out that experience is always the best.
However, Zhang Renjia had already thought about this point. Since they were going to negotiate, there would definitely be a process of bargaining.
Zhang Renjia pondered for a moment.
"Okay, then let's each take a step back."
"We, the collateral and external branches, will take 5%, and your family will take %. Is that okay?"
Zhang Rende shook his head.
"5% each?"
"Why are you planning to unite and be equal to our family?"
"You have quite a lot of ambitions."
"I, Zhang Rende, am not dead yet, why are you in such a hurry to divide the family?"
"Well, I can see that many of you are very dissatisfied with this distribution of benefits."
"If you are not satisfied, you can leave the Zhang family and start your own business. No matter how much you earn, it is yours."
"I can guarantee that our family will never interfere. It's your ability to make money."
"But within our Zhang family, we have to listen to our family members."
"Do you understand? If anyone wants to leave the Zhang family, I will not stop you. I will settle your money clearly and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future."
Everyone started whispering that they could have their current achievements and status because of the Zhang family.
Especially those people from outside the family, they were all supported by the Zhang family and essentially have no relationship with the Zhang family.
Those from outside the family grew up eating the Zhang family's food.
People from other departments murmured quietly about their current lives. They couldn't say they were very good, but they were definitely not bad.
And it has always been very stable, and the whole family is protected.
If they left the Zhang family, they would have no real background and would find it difficult to enjoy their current lives.
Therefore, the external department has decided to give up. At least maintaining the 10% of the salary they had before can allow them to live well.
The feelings of the collateral branches are complicated. Over the years, the collateral branches have been growing stronger. Although there are only 10 families, they are powerful and have deep roots within the entire family.
On the other hand, Zhang Renyi is not married and has no children.
Although Zhang Rende has a son who has now been arrested, he is basically gone. There is already news that he will be shot in a few days.
As for Zhang Renli, although he had been the head of the family for several years, he is now useless.
Now there are only three young people left in the family, and Zhang Wei is not here today.
Therefore, this is a great opportunity for the side branch. If they can gain more say and get a bigger share this time, they can gradually erode the power of the main family.
Now Zhang Renjia feels tremendous pressure and is caught in a dilemma.
It was no longer possible to get in as Zhang Rende had blocked it tightly.
If we retreat, what else can we do? We can only go back to the starting point. Then what is the meaning of today's family meeting?
Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he also helped Zhang Rende establish his authority and made Zhang Renjia lose face.
Even a 50-50 split wasn't an option, so Zhang Renjia could only grit his teeth and take a step back.
Zhang Renjia sighed.
"Ren De, our side branch is really too difficult."
"How about this, I hope you can give us a 10% bonus for your sake as an elder brother."
"Your main family will take 60%, our collateral family will take 30%, and the external family will remain unchanged."
"We are a branch of the family. We are descended from the same ancestor as you."
"You don't have to push us into a desperate situation."
Zhang Rende nodded.
"Okay, I think what you said is right, then let's listen to my brother, and divide it this way from now on."
"However, the Zhang family is also going to change its structure."
"Now I officially announce that Zhang Renyi is the new head of the Zhang family, and Zhang Wei is the future successor to the head of the family."
"Zhang Nan is in charge of the management of the side branch. All the work of the side branch is led by Zhang Nan."
"Zhang Bei is responsible for the management of the external department. All work of the external department is led by Zhang Bei."
"From now on, you don't need to report anything to me, Zhang Rende. I will completely retire."
