Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 255 - 162: Facilitating the Merger to Create the World’s Largest Club

Chapter 255: Chapter 162: Facilitating the Merger to Create the World’s Largest Club

Moreover, both clubs don’t have enough money to refund everyone’s membership at the same time.

However, customers have the right to request a refund, as it is a clause in the agreement, and the clubs cannot refuse.

So Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying tried to stall and handle it coldly, using the excuse that they needed to hold a meeting to discuss before they could give an answer.

But the customers disagreed, demanding the clubs immediately refund their memberships or they would call the police.

Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying were losing their minds, but these were all wealthy people, and they didn’t dare do anything to them.

Offending so many wealthy people at once would mean the end of their days in Hai City.

Yang Chen, with a stern face, said, "President Chen, as a shareholder, I request to convene a shareholder meeting, and with both sets of shareholders! Both clubs are facing a common problem; I hope the shareholders of both clubs can sit down and discuss how to resolve it."

The customers took the opportunity to express their demands.

"What does this shareholder mean? Is he suggesting a merger between the two clubs?"

"If the two clubs really merge, we won’t ask for a refund! After all, who wouldn’t want a membership at the largest golf club in Dragon Country?"

"Yes! Are you merging the two clubs? As long as you merge, we won’t ask for a refund! If you don’t merge, then refund us; I really can’t stand the way you two clubs keep going like this."

...

Chen Jinhai: "That won’t do, it’s impossible to merge."

Chen Jinying: "Right! I wouldn’t agree to a merger either!"

"Fine! Give me a refund immediately, or I’ll call the police!"

"Yes! You must give me a refund immediately, it’s my right!"

"There is no other solution but merging that would make me feel secure. Your empty promises have no effect; we won’t believe them anymore."

...

The customers pressed on relentlessly, and Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying had no choice but to agree to convene a meeting of both sets of shareholders to discuss how to make a decision.

For now, they put on a show to appease the customers, and how to specifically resolve the situation would depend on the results of future discussions.

...

Twelve o’clock noon, a large private room at the Peninsula Hotel.

Yang Chen hosted a banquet for all the shareholders of both the Jin Hai and Jin Ying clubs.

Apart from Chen Jinhai and Chen Jinying, everyone else got along well.

After all, everyone’s purpose for investing was to make money; who cares about their sibling rivalry?

As the wine flowed and the dishes were enjoyed.

Yang Chen put down his utensils, wiped his mouth, and loudly said: "The reason for gathering everyone here today is actually for one thing: to discuss the merger of Jin Hai and Jin Ying, to recreate the glory of the former Haisang Elite Club, and to make it the most powerful golf club in Dragon Country. Now, the customers of both clubs are threatening to refund their memberships, and only a merger can change their minds. I have spent so much money acquiring the equity in both clubs, not to watch them collapse together. I want to make money! Now, please let’s hear the opinions of both Presidents Chen."

Chen Jinhai: "I absolutely don’t agree! Between her and me, only one can survive, and there’s no possibility of merging coexisting!"

Chen Jinying: "As if I would want to coexist with you anyway, I can’t wait for you to die so you can apologize and account to our parents."

Chen Jinhai: "What guilt do I have? If anyone should apologize, it’s you! How many women come back to their maiden home to fight with their brothers over inheritance? Aren’t you ashamed!"

Chen Jinying: "I am also their child, I contributed money and effort when they were sick. They didn’t say the inheritance was entirely for you. Both legally and morally, I have the right to half. Shareholders, am I right?"

Jinying Club’s shareholders nodded in agreement, and although Jin Hai’s shareholders didn’t openly agree, their eyes showed a flicker, clearly supporting Chen Jinying.

People are becoming more open-minded now and it’s unheard of for daughters not to inherit anything; they must get something.

If Chen Jinhai hadn’t been so greedy, trying to keep all the family assets for himself, Chen Jinying wouldn’t have had to take it to court to demand a fair share.

In the end, it was Chen Jinhai’s mishandling that led to the animosity.

Chen Jinhai: "Then why didn’t you take a bit, why demand equal division in court?"

Chen Jinying: "I originally only wanted 5 houses and ten million in cash, but you were unwilling no matter what. Since it was brought to court, why should I leave you any face? Of course, I wanted the court to equally divide it according to the law."

...

The siblings argued back and forth, neither willing to give in.

But from an outsider’s perspective, Chen Jinying wasn’t wrong; it was Chen Jinhai who was too greedy.

After years, the two sat down for the first time to fully vent their grievances.

Unknowingly an hour passed, and as they became tired and hoarse, repeating some points several times, they finally stopped.

Yang Chen stretched lazily, smiled, and said: "Finally done arguing, we’re exhausted just watching."

"Hahaha..." Both sides of shareholders burst into laughter.

Then Yang Chen continued: "Isn’t this all about a conflict arising from inheritance division, not some deep-seated hatred. Whether rich or poor, people argue over distribution of assets when parents pass. But arguments are just arguments, after the parents are gone, you’re each other’s closest family, and will surely reconcile eventually. You’ve both resented each other for over ten years, let it go; it’s time to join forces and bring back the Haisang Elite Club."
