It could be said that without the overwhelming support of the masses, the Innova Group's overseas market wouldn't have been so successful, nor would its current terrifying revenue have been achieved."Eric, this is our first dividend distribution. Isn't the amount a bit too much?" Michael asked.He had received a substantial sum. When he first joined the Innova Group, his demands were actually quite simple: a 1,000,000-dollar annual salary, plus a house and car, which was already a bargain.He hadn't asked for dividend shares, but the Innova Group still awarded him a significant amount of shares according to the regulations and based on his contributions to the company. Yet, he felt the distributed money was too much. Not to mention domestically, even compared to the three major international manufacturers, this dividend amount was quite explosive."Too much?" Eric smiled. "I think it's alright. There should still be room for growth. Everyone has worked hard these past few years,
The importance of Michael to the Innova Group couldn't be overstated. His compensation and benefits within the company were well deserved. For a company to grow and expand globally, this was a crucial step, and Michael was key to this transition for the Innova Group.His performance was beyond commendable—it was exemplary.He had elevated the Innova Group to a level where it stood almost shoulder-to-shoulder with the three major international manufacturers.Given such contributions, no one could possibly criticize him. No one else could have achieved what he had. Although he might have leveraged the Crimson Order, that was precisely his strength and value to the company.-As New Year's approached, the distribution of dividends concluded swiftly.With the school break, Lora found herself with more free time. Despite the cold weather, she frequently visited the Innova Group.Outsiders might mistakenly think she was Eric's mistress. After all, Eric epitomized the successful and we
Henry and Irvin were like brothers, and Sylvia, Eric, and Irvin shared sworn brotherhood—it was a bit confusing!"Dad, what did you guys talk about?" Eric asked.Henry lit a cigarette and said, "This year the Innova Group had its first dividend distribution. At that time, our families only invested a decent amount each, and now we’re making a fortune."At that point, he felt a bit embarrassed.In five years, turning a small fortune into a big fortune seemed like an incredibly good deal no matter how you looked at it.What kind of investment could yield such a return?Moreover, there would surely be more dividends from the Innova Group in the future.Both corporations held significant dividend shares in the Innova Group!He continued. "Today, Irvin also mentioned that the money is more than enough. The annual dividend is more than the profits Sonnex Corp. makes in several years, or even a decade."It’s the same for Williams Corp. His meaning is that the money we got should be c
After working hard and being busy all year round, everyone looked forward to those few days of celebration. They were not allowed to set off fireworks? Even Eric found it hard to believe."Who would have thought?" Brook said, "Places selling fireworks are being patrolled, and people are too scared to display them. Even the pyrotechnician who used to come to our house a few years ago is no longer in Salt City."The directive is out—no fireworks are allowed anywhere in the province. If caught, there's a fine. They say it's to prevent air pollution. I really don't know what those officials and experts are thinking!"Sylvia, annoyed, said, "Brook! Have you forgotten? Eric is still… holding an official position, isn't he? By criticizing the officials, aren’t you also criticizing him?"Brook quickly waved his hand. "It's different! Even though my brother-in-law is an official, he doesn't get involved in those matters!"Eric nodded and smiled, saying, "Brother-in-law, you can't say tha
The journey was silent.After more than an hour, they arrived at Nutikiville.Elijah and Howard exchanged glances.They knew this was Eric's hometown. Could it be that Nutikiville had a project requiring funding from Salt City? That didn't make sense!The development of Nutikiville was largely funded by Eric. He had never asked for much money from the finance department. The notion of funding didn't add up.Upon reaching a reservoir, Eric finally parked the car."Mr. Dawson, Mr. Kent, what do you think of the scenery here?" Eric asked, gazing at the vast reservoir."It's wonderful!" Elijah commented, "The landscape is beautiful and picturesque. Years of environmental construction have truly paid off! Green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets!""Mr. Johnson, if I recall correctly, you funded the construction of this reservoir in Nutikiville, right? I heard it cost about 3,000,000 dollars. With this reservoir, the water supply and irrigation issues for the surround
Eric hadn't finished speaking yet. He looked at the reservoir and said, "There is little vegetation within the city. To develop the economy, some pollution is inevitable. But in a rural place like this, setting off fireworks wouldn't cause significant pollution, even if you burned down this entire mountain."What I really want to know is whether you're banning fireworks because of air pollution or because it's difficult to manage. Is that why you issued such a strict regulation?"Howard was feeling a bit overwhelmed. He quickly replied, "Mr. Johnson, we'll issue an apology and lift the ban. Will that be acceptable?"He thought this would resolve the issue completely. However, Eric shook his head. "Mr. Kent, you still don't understand my point."Bringing you both out here just to talk about fireworks would be a waste of time. What I'm saying is that no matter how busy you are, you need to get out more and see what people actually want. Before implementing any regulation, you should
It was clear that Amelia's expression was not pleasant. As someone experienced, she saw something in Lora's eyes. It was love! She had even come to their home, which was impressive!When Eric returned, Amelia left immediately, not wanting to stay and be further annoyed.Eric approached with an evident lack of cordiality. "What are you doing here?"Lora smiled. "Just came to see you all. It's been two or three days, hasn't it?"As they spoke, Brook entered, covering his grin. Clearly, he had noticed something as well but chose not to interrupt and went upstairs.Eric, eager to leave the awkward situation, stood up. "Vee, you chat with her. I need to discuss something with Brook."Sylvia, understanding Eric's discomfort, nodded.Once Eric was out of sight, Lora asked, "Is he... your family's live-in son-in-law?"Sylvia's family background startled Lora. Such a prestigious family in Salt City was indeed remarkable. Lora knew that Eric hadn't always been impressive—over five years
Sylvia sighed. "Mom, don't worry, okay? Eric isn't that kind of person!"Amelia shot another glare at Sylvia before finally leaving.-After dinner, Sylvia and Eric walked out hand in hand.Brook put down his utensils. "Mom, you don't need to worry so much. Vee and her husband have a great relationship. You've been watching too many soap operas lately. In real life, there aren't that many people who are so fickle."Connor nodded quickly. "Brook is right. There aren't that many fickle people. Men are usually very loyal."As soon as he finished speaking, Queenie glared at him. "Loyal, you say? You men always prefer 18-year-olds!"Connor immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.Amelia set down her utensils. "Queenie, Misty, Seraphine, all of you listen up. If any of the three brothers dare to be unfaithful, beat them senseless. If they even touch a hair on your heads, I'll deal with them myself!"The three brothers all shrank their necks. It was terrifying!Er
