Any company has an internal investigation department and relevant company articles of association. However, Igao does not serve as the chairman of Zhaoshi Group. He wants to get rid of Carl Behrman, CEO of Zhaoshi Group, and suspend him in one sentence. This seems very strange.
Strong, but actually a bit difficult.
After all, no one will sit still and wait for death. The conflicts between managers and shareholders are usually very common in American and Western companies. Who can be superior depends on their own abilities. Because, generally speaking, the equity of large companies listed in Europe and the United States is
It is relatively dispersed. It is generally assumed that about 30% of the equity is controlled by the company.
Therefore, the board of directors usually has a very fierce game. In some companies, such as the Hollywood film company Disney, the equity is extremely dispersed. The chairman is also the CEO, and basically the entire company has no say in the shareholders.
Moreover, there is also a humanistic factor. Basically, it is difficult for rich second-generation shareholders to outperform managers who have been fighting and gambling in the jungle.
As for Jinggao specifically, the difficulty he faces is not that shareholders will defect. He controls 70% of the shares of Zhaoshi Group. But the problem is that the board of directors has a term of office, and the convening of a special shareholders' meeting also takes time.
The establishment of these rules and regulations is to ensure the normal operation of the company. If you are the founder of the company and manage the company, then these rules and regulations are to prevent major shareholders or certain shareholders from messing up.
If you are a major shareholder like Jing Gao, you will feel that this kind of management standard is nonsense. However, if you look through some business courses, are they all set up in this way?
After all, it’s a game of interests!
In the luxurious top-floor conference room on the 42nd floor, all the senior executives in the conference room fell silent. Zhaoshi Group has a CEO + president responsibility system. Currently, it has a total of thirteen presidents, who are in charge of various business departments or brands.
For example, Dong Lingxi is in charge of finance. She is relatively powerful among the presidents and ranks high. Because in general, the CFO of a company is almost the third or fourth in command. She ranks between the chief executive officer (CEO) and the chief operating officer.
(COO). Please look at the management position settings of each company specifically.
Karl Behrman had a sneer on his face and said in French, speaking very fast: "Mr. Jing, I respect your rights as the majority shareholder of our group, but you are not qualified to directly remove me. The removal process must be carried out through the board of directors."
When this person said something, Ouyang Wan, who was sitting next to Jing Gao, translated, "The beauty who has always been charming and charming has a sinister look on her face. This bastard wants to turn against Brother Jing! There is definitely something wrong."
Jing Gao felt extremely unhappy and said coldly: "Then let's convene the board of directors! Lingxi!"
He is not an idiot, and he will be fooled if he fails to show off. He dares to come to Zhaoshi Group, so he is naturally prepared. As the vice president in charge of finance, Dong Lingxi is also a director of Zhaoshi Group's board of directors.
Today, Dong Lingxi did not wear the white dress that highlighted her figure yesterday. Instead, she wore a business-style jacket and trousers. She has a plump and hot figure, and looks like a bright and dignified oriental beauty. She wears a Chinese style
Although he speaks French with an accent but is understandable, he told the senior executives of Zhaoshi Group who attended the meeting: "
As a director of Zhaoshi Group, I request that a temporary board meeting be convened immediately to discuss the appointment and removal of the group’s chairman and CEO Carl Behrmann. I have been authorized by the group’s major shareholder Xihe Alpha Fund. This is a legal document!”
The three assistants Jing Gao brought to Paris this time were Gu Xixi and Chen Qingshuang. Nie Yunxi was in charge of coordinating all aspects of matters in the capital. Dong Youwei also brought a team with him to France. This
The team includes lawyers with EU licenses.
Dong Lingxi handed the legal document in his hand to the president of the legal and compliance department of Zhaoshi Group.
The president checked it for more than ten minutes, nodded to all the executives who looked over, and said, "This is a valid legal document."
Dong Lingxi looked at the many men and foreign-faced executives in front of the conference table, and said in a clear and loud voice: "I request that the conference room be connected to the video so that directors who are not in Paris can participate in this temporary board of directors as soon as possible."
There are no independent directors in French company law, and there are generally more directors.
At this time, an executive echoed Dong Lingxi's opinion, "I agree." Anyone who is not a fool knows that CEO Carl Behrmann is doomed. After all, Xihe Alpha Fund holds 70% of the equity of Zhaoshi Group. What happens next?
When voting, everyone will have an account in their mind.
Carl Behrman said with a livid face: "I refuse. According to the relevant charter, I decided to hold the interim board of directors in a week. Now, please Mr. Jing and your people, please leave the Zhaoshi Group!"
As he spoke, he showed a sarcastic smile to Jing Gao, still maintaining his so-called French demeanor, "Mr. Jing, do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to call security?"
The faces of Ma De, Dong Youwei, Ouyang Wan, Gu Xixi, Chen Qingshuang and others immediately became ugly.
Jing Gao laughed angrily, stood up, glanced around the executives of Zhaoshi Group, and then set his sights on the French guy Carl Behrman, and said: "Okay, I have never seen such an awesome person.
Professional managers, you take care of yourself."
He led a group of people out of the conference room of the Zhaoshi Group Headquarters Building on the 42nd floor. Some CEOs in the conference room, as well as some staff waiting outside the conference room, had sarcastic smiles on their faces. When will it be a Chinese person's turn?
Are we going crazy and arrogant on our French territory?
"Mr. Jing..." The accompanying bodyguards escorted Jing Gao to the underground parking lot. The sound of the door slamming sounded. Dong Youwei broke the slightly oppressive calm in the business car, "This Behrman is confident, there must be someone behind him.
Support him."
Jing Gao looked calm and said: "We will proceed step by step according to the plan. He just delayed it for seven days and held a temporary board meeting, which is enough to remove him."
According to his plan, the first step is to regain control of the Zhaoshi Group and clear out the insiders. At least the insiders must be cleared out in the management. Then they can be consistent with the outside world. Now the control of the Zhaoshi Group has not been regained. Still.
We need to start contacting our embassy and relevant personnel from the French government. These tasks must be prepared.
Gu Xixi knew that Jing Gao looked calm, but in fact he was very angry inside. Carl Behrman resisted and wiped out Brother Jing's face. This man is really hateful! No matter which country's law it is, the major shareholder wants to
There is no doubt that we want to take back control of the company. If we delay, what will we get? He advised: "
Brother Jing, I think we still need to try to communicate with the directors privately one by one, and the promised benefits and commitments must be conveyed. Otherwise, we have to consider convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."
Xiao Gongju is very showy, has a delicate temperament, and does his work very carefully.
Dong Youwei thought about it and said, "Mr. Jing, what Assistant Gu said is right. In this regard, Mr. Dong should be able to come up with a list after the meeting."
Jing Gao waved his hand and said forcefully: "No. I have no interest in winning over any Zhaoshi Group executives. The choice is left to them! I want to see if these foreigners are all like him."
A dog can't change its habit of eating shit, and it only steals my money. We will proceed according to the plan of convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."
He has no interest in giving benefits to these executives and directors. If you don't obey or stand in line, I will replace you.
Mudd, if a great man comes to a capitalist country and still has to suffer this kind of injustice, then it’s all in vain.
Gu Xixi was a little helpless, and looked at each other thoughtfully at Chen Qingshuang. Brother Jing was angry! Doing this would make it more difficult to solve the Zhaoshi Group's problem this time.
…
…
Carl Behrman got furious in the conference room, grabbing a small matter and roaring at Dong Lingxi. This was to scare the monkeys, and at the same time to warn some directors and executives who were ready to take action.
As chairman and CEO, he still has a lot of power. In the past two years, he has contributed a lot to the development of Zhaoshi Group.
After scolding Dong Lingxi for a full hour, Karl Behrman announced the adjournment of the meeting, walked back to his office, took off his coat, picked up his mobile phone and made a call. He said in a faint voice: "Mr. Thomas, Chinese
