Chapter 1592: Taking Forty-Three Years of Dividends Back

"Where’s Pengfei? How can he skip a family meeting? Hurry up and call him over."

Ou Pengfei walked in: "Grandpa, Grandma. Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, and all the clan elders, Elder Aunt said we should prepare the dividends that have belonged to her for these forty-three years so she can take them back with her."

"And what about that fifty percent of the shares?" Third Aunt Qu asked.

"She only said she wants to take away the share dividends; as for the shares themselves, she didn’t say anything." Ou Pengfei said uncertainly.

"She didn’t say she wants the shares, so naturally that means she doesn’t want them." Third Aunt Qu thought, does that mean this fifty percent of the shares can be divided up? She was even already calculating how much her own household could get.

"That’s impossible, isn’t it?" Second Uncle and Third Uncle asked in unison.

We’re talking about 50% of the company’s shares—how could anyone give them up so easily?

Ou Family Group has assets of over four billion; fifty percent is more than two billion. How could she possibly be willing to just hand that over?

Moreover, although the company’s assets are only a little over four billion, in terms of growth potential, its actual market value is probably well over ten billion.

"Doesn’t the Ou Family have clan rules that daughters of the family can only receive dividends and cannot manage the company? She probably knows this, so she can only take dividends." Third Aunt Qu added. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Everyone looked toward Old Sir Ou.

Old Sir Ou said, "Handing over those forty-three years of dividends shouldn’t be a problem." Provided she takes out the shares.

The problem lies with those shares; no one is going to just sit and watch her walk away with half of the Ou Family’s empire.

The old man continued, "Back then, even though Xuexue wasn’t at home, I knew she was definitely still alive. Every year I had people deposit the dividends she ought to receive into the Swiss Bank. Ah Fu, go bring Xuexue’s dividend ledger and calculate how much it should be."

Back then, Gu Weiwei’s stipulation was: if her child died young, the fifty percent of the shares would be donated to charity; if the child went missing, the shares would be managed by the child’s father, but he must deposit the dividends due each year into a Swiss Bank account. As long as the daughter was found, this money would belong to her; if in the end she was never found, these deposits would be donated to charity.

After Ou Xue went missing, some people in the family proposed dividing that fifty percent of the shares. A lawyer came, produced the contract, and had them carry out its terms.

And Old Sir Ou himself had no intention of dividing the shares among everyone. In his view, the shares were his daughter’s—on what grounds should they be split up and given to others?

After that, Old Sir Ou had Ou Xue’s due dividends deposited into the Swiss Bank every year. After more than forty years, it should already be an enormous fortune.

Housekeeper Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "It’s not something I can calculate clearly in a moment, Master."

However, Mengyu’s Divine Sense noticed that when Ou Xue’s dividends were mentioned, although Housekeeper Fu’s gaze always followed along properly, making it impossible for others to read his eyes, Mengyu, who possessed Divine Sense, still caught a flash of panic in his eyes.

This Housekeeper Fu is suspicious!

Old Sir Ou said unhappily, "The dividends for each year are right there, and Xuexue has never had any expenses from them. Isn’t it just adding up forty-three years of dividends? What’s so hard to calculate? If the ledger’s gone, then what about the deposit slips? Can’t you just take out the deposit slips and add them up? How could you not be able to calculate it?"

Uncle Fu bowed and said, "Yes, I’ll go find them right away."

The old man, however, simply pulled out a small notebook: "Forget it, you can look for them later. Fortunately I kept a record and already did a preliminary calculation. The dividends for these forty-three years, added up, come to a total of 1.98532 billion."
