After a while, the conference room was packed with people, and some people even didn't even have chairs and were standing by the wall preparing for the meeting.
Seeing that it was almost done, Ning Kezhu turned back to look at Cheng Fu and asked: "Cheng Fu, see if everyone is here?"
Cheng Fu nodded, stood up, counted the number of people in his mouth, then compared the number of people with punch-in records today, and whispered: "All the shareholders and executives who came to the company today have already arrived."
Seeing that there are still some empty seats on the table, some shareholders may feel that their shareholding ratio is too low and dare not go to the table. Therefore, the seats next to them are full, but there are still several empty seats on the table.
Ning Kezhu waved her hand and said softly: "Don't leave the table empty. There are still a few people standing. Do you want to adjust it yourself, or should you just let the standing people sit down?"
Having said that, the few people standing are the most ordinary executives of the group, and they are relatively low in the ranking among the executives. How can they dare to sit up?
Zhao Zepeng looked at them, pointed at a few people, and said, "Old Qian, Lao Lu, and Lao Yu, don't sit next to each other. Come up and ask those who are standing to sit down as well."
At the same time, he also pointed at several others, although he did not call out their names.
Those named by Zhao Zepeng were several shareholders who did not work in Cheng's company and had their own businesses.
Most of the time, they rarely come to Cheng's Group's meetings and only come once a year. They mainly attend the Cheng's Group's annual report meeting at the end of the year to learn about the group's profits and dividends over the past year.
Therefore, their shares are actually not too small, adding up to three or four points. Although they are slightly lower than those sitting on the table, they are much larger than those around them.
Now, the table is still empty, and since it is a shareholders' meeting, of course the person with the larger shareholding must sit on it.
The few people looked at each other and knew it was not the time to be polite, so they all came to the table.
Ning Kezhu nodded slightly and stood up.
"I'm sorry to invite you all to come over for a meeting at short notice.
There should be some shareholders or senior executives who are absent, but this is a temporary meeting, and we can't wait for them.
Everyone, we are all important people in the Cheng Group, but I am the only outsider who does not hold any position or any shares in the Cheng Group.
But my husband, Cheng Guangnian, is the largest shareholder of the Cheng Group after all. He is unable to hold this meeting in person due to physical reasons, so he can only temporarily let me do it for him."
These words, which were a bit weak, were still praised by some people who were leaning towards Cheng Guangnian. They looked at each other and nodded secretly, but they were all just like Cheng Guangtian, feeling uneasy and uneasy.
"Everyone must know the reason for holding such a temporary meeting, so I won't go into details. Let me first introduce to you about my husband's situation. I believe this is also the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment."
In the conference room, everyone nodded one after another, with bright eyes.
Ning Kezhu paused and said: "As everyone has heard, he was involved in a car accident in Guangnian and fell into a coma.
At present, the hospital has gathered many experts to provide consultation for Guangnian.
However, there was no obvious trauma on his body, and a brain examination could not find any traces of a strong impact, but he fell into a coma in such a bizarre way.
At present, the hospital also expresses that it is helpless.
Our family is actively contacting more authoritative experts from abroad, hoping to invite them to Wudong to diagnose Guangnian.
The current situation is very simple, that is, doctors cannot find the cause of Guang Nian's coma, so they cannot determine when Guang Nian will wake up.
My family and I have been prepared to be unable to wake up for many years.
Of course, one thing that is fortunate is that doctors all say that this situation is unprecedented. They have searched for many cases but have not been able to find any similar cases.
Therefore, the optimistic judgment is that once the cause of Guang Nian's coma is found, he may be able to wake up soon.
Therefore, I have no way to tell you now when Guangnian will wake up.
And due to the uncertainty of his current condition, I hope everyone can take care of their own affairs step by step, and there is no need to visit the hospital or anything like that."
These words caused a commotion in the conference room. Whether it was those who wanted to seize the class or power, or those who hoped that Cheng Guangnian would come back quickly to take charge of the overall situation, they were all whispering to each other.
After all, the situation described by Ning Gezhu was too weird, and they were all surprised.
Some people began to wonder if Cheng Guangnian was deliberately pretending to be ill just to see who in the group would jump out at such a time.
If this is the case, when Cheng Guangnian comes back, he will definitely pick up the knife and choose to eliminate those around him.
And with Cheng Guangnian's arbitrary style of doing things in the past twenty years, the backs of these people's necks are really chilling.
But they also suspected that this was just a smoke bomb set by Ning Hezhu. The purpose was of course to scare these people. Maybe Cheng Guangnian actually suffered brain damage and would never wake up again?
But no one can defeat the two guesses, and we can only let the people here weigh their own.
Everyone was silent. Ning Kezhu proposed to convene this meeting, so she would be the one-man show.
Anyway, no matter what, the Cheng Group must have a leader. Even if this meeting cannot be resolved now, these people are determined to resolve it within a day or two.
"Ahem..."
Ning Kezhu coughed twice, and the whispering in the conference room stopped and silence returned.
Ning Kezhu slowly sat back in his seat and said, "I have told everyone everything I know about Guangnian.
I know that everyone must have doubts in their hearts.
I don't mind if everyone goes out and looks for ways to inquire, but I still want to advise you that it's better to focus on the Cheng Group.
After all, in the past, most of the important strategies of the Cheng Group were planned by Guangnian alone.
And from now on, until Guang Nian recovers and returns, I am afraid it will all have to be done by the concerted efforts of all of us here."
In the conference room, most people nodded slightly. Indeed, no matter who ultimately takes the position of acting chairman, one thing is clear, that is, no one can do what Cheng Guangnian did. In the future, everyone here will need to work together.
.
"We are all old colleagues who have worked together for many years. In addition to Assistant Director Dong, all of us here today have at least five years of working experience in the Cheng Group. We are already very familiar with each other, and we are very cooperative and cooperative.
Very accustomed to it.
But Mrs. Cheng, cooperation is cooperation, and it is also the wish of all our shareholders and managers to survive the absence of Director Cheng.
However, a country cannot live without a king for a day, and the Cheng Group cannot remain without a leader."
The person who spoke was a shareholder whom Zhao Zepeng had previously called Lao Qian.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zepeng nodded slightly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Lao Qian's performance.
Hearing this, Ning Kezhu also smiled slightly and said, "This is the second purpose of why I summoned everyone to the meeting today."
In the conference room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Ning Kezhu looked around and said calmly: "Mr. Qian is right, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Although I have not participated in the work of the group for a long time, I also know that over the past year, the Cheng Group has involved many governments.
There is no room for carelessness in urban construction projects.
Therefore, whether it is for my husband's hard work of more than 20 years or for the future of the Cheng Group, I, an outsider, have to preside over today's meeting.
I hope that at today’s meeting, we can decide on the position of acting chairman of the group, who will make overall arrangements for the group’s various affairs.”
An old man among several old ministers smiled and said: "Mrs. Cheng is too modest. Although you do not have any shares in the group or a corresponding position, something has happened to Director Cheng now. It is most appropriate for you to preside over this meeting. Why?"
Can I say you are an outsider?
Besides, once Director Cheng is diagnosed, his shares will always be held by you and your noble son. Based on this alone, no one dares to say that you are an outsider."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that this old minister was obviously on Ning Kezhu's side.
The old ministers around him also nodded in agreement, which meant that Ning Kezhu at least had the support of these company veterans.
Cheng Guangtian saw this and thought that he would rather do it than not do any homework.
However, with the few shares held by these old guys, they are really unable to make a comeback.
As for this person's words, many people in the conference room obviously disagreed, so there were more and more whispers.
Seeing this, Zhao Zepeng lazily spoke: "Everyone, please be quiet. There is a meeting. What's going on?
Mrs. Cheng prides herself on being an outsider, can you really treat her like an outsider?
I think what Lao Hu said is right. Even if you don't agree with what Lao Hu just said, Mr. Cheng still has five points of the group's shares.
Mrs. Cheng is here to preside over this meeting now. She must have obtained the authorization for those five points of shares.
Let’s find out, these five points of shares originally belonged to Mrs. Cheng, but they were transferred to Mr. Cheng last year, right?
Five points, besides me, who else here holds more shares than her?
If she is an outsider, aren’t you all outsiders?”
As he spoke, Zhao Zepeng glanced sideways at Ning Kezhu from the corner of his eyes, and in the conference room, he woke up a group of people with one sentence.
Everyone actually knows this, but because Ning Kezhu kept a relatively low profile from the beginning and always called himself an outsider when he opened his mouth, these people automatically ignored this.
After hearing this, Ning Kezhu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao is right, Cheng Yu's shares are indeed authorized to be held on my behalf.
Of course, it is just a proxy holding. After all, Cheng Yu has not joined the Cheng Group since he returned to China, and has no understanding of the Cheng Group's business.
At this moment, he also felt that he had no say in the group, so he authorized me to exercise the rights to the shares in his name."
At this time, another person said: "So, Mrs. Cheng is planning to compete for the position of acting chairman?"
Ning Kezhu looked at the man, smiled slightly, and said: "My husband's life-long effort, if possible, I still hope to keep an eye on it for him personally."
"But Mrs. Cheng hasn't been to the group for how many years? Are you familiar with the group's business? I don't mean to offend. Although everyone is helping and cooperating, we are still very worried if the acting chairman knows nothing about the group's business.
Ah, Mrs. Cheng, what do you think?"
Ning Kezhu looked at the person who spoke this time, still smiling calmly.
"Mr. Wang, you are right. It is true that I have not been to the group for several years. Even in these years, I am not very familiar with the group's business. However, after many years of hard work, I don't have to watch it personally.
I'm worried. Fortunately, Guangnian has a private team..."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
Private team?
What does this mean?
Ning Kezhu still smiled calmly, regardless of the surprise of this group of people, and continued: "Of course, don't misunderstand, this private team also serves the group, and the members of this team are among you, but Guangnian has never
I didn’t show this team to everyone individually.
In his own words, this team is his think tank. The decisions you see in daily life and every decision he makes are actually not the result of his arbitrary actions.
After he has fully listened to your opinions, he will then hand them over to his think tank for comprehensive analysis and evaluation, and finally form a definite decision."
These words immediately caused an explosion in the conference room.
What?
Think tank?
And he was still among the people present?
Go! Why didn’t I know? - Almost everyone had the same reaction. Everyone was looking around, wondering who was the think tank member with a hidden identity.
Cheng Guangtian's eyes lit up when he saw it. He felt that he seemed to have found the possibility of Ning Kezhu winning.
This is probably Ning Kezhu’s final trump card.
Ning Ke Zhu’s trick is so beautiful!
Create an unfounded think tank and tell these people that the think tank members are hidden among you. Cheng Guangnian has never thought of making this think tank public, which means that he would rather not identify these people.
Get these people out.
This will arouse mutual suspicion among those people, thus making many people who are originally wavering not dare to take sides easily. What's more, even those who have already taken sides should think carefully about whether they will decide at an important moment.
He was stabbed by a member of the think tank hidden beside him.
Haha, wonderful!
It seems that Ninghe Zhu feels confident, but it is not completely unreasonable.
At least, there is room for change in what was originally a losing situation.
Looking at the people in the conference room, those who were trying to find each other, Cheng Guangtian suddenly realized that his sister-in-law really had a lot of skills.
Although this may eventually fail in the face of the absolute share share, at least, this is indeed a breakthrough opportunity.
After thinking about it for a moment, Cheng Guangtian said: "Well, I also heard my elder brother mention this.
I'm ashamed to say that my second brother and I also complained privately that my elder brother was a bit arbitrary in doing things, and one time we even had a quarrel with him at home about this matter.
Then the eldest brother told us that he has a think tank in the company, and all the decisions he makes are the result of the joint decision of the entire think tank, not his alone."
Cheng Guangtian actually understood that his words might not be of much help, but he wanted to try even if it was a little bit of help.
The conversation with my son and daughter just now made it very clear that for the current Cheng Group, it is best for them to have Ning Kezhu take the position of acting chairman.
He originally thought he was doomed, but now that he sees a turnaround, how could Cheng Guangtian not try and work hard?
In the conference room, the discussion about this matter became even more noisy.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please be quiet. Mrs. Cheng's words have given us another possibility. But, Mrs. Cheng, do you know the members of Director Cheng's think tank? It's been so long, and no one has come forward.
Accept it."
A voice appeared. This voice came from the right side of Zhao Zepeng, the shareholder who held 3.75% of the shares.
Everyone turned their attention to Ning Kezhu.
At this time, there are several possibilities.
First, the so-called think tank is basically a fabrication of Ning Kezhu. She just wants to use this method to disrupt the alliance between certain shareholders.
The second possibility is that think tanks do exist, but Ning Kezhu has no idea who these people are.
Judging from the fact that no one at the scene admitted it, the members of this think tank seemed unwilling to accept Ning Kezhu's leadership.
The third possibility is that the think tank really exists. Ning Kezhu also knows the identities of these people, but even she does not dare to announce the members of the think tank without Cheng Guangnian's permission.
Because she knew very well that even if she revealed the identities of these people, those people might not admit it, and they might not choose to help her.
If this think tank really exists, then these people are undoubtedly Cheng Guangnian's loyal dogs, and they will not be inherited by you just because you are Cheng Guangnian's wife or son.
What's more, these people would even suspect that Cheng Guangnian's current situation has something to do with Ning Kezhu!
What about couples?
Especially since Cheng Guangnian has repeatedly shown that he does not want to hand over the Cheng Group to his only son to take over. Who knows what is hidden here?
Many speculations came one after another, and for a while, although the meeting room was quiet and you could hear a needle drop, everyone's thoughts were like a computer running at high speed and could not stop for a moment.
Ning Kezhu didn't care about this, she smiled and shook her head and said: "I really don't know the identity of the specific members, this is just something my husband told me just in case.
He told me that once something happens to him, he will tell me about it in front of all shareholders, and someone will definitely help me when the time comes."
After hearing this, the man shrugged his shoulders and said no more.
At this point, it no longer matters whether what Ning Kezhu said was a lie. Everyone just needs to wait for a while to see if anyone comes out to help her.
In fact, many people think that Ning Kezhu is simply stupid, because they are convinced that Ning Kezhu has made up an unfounded lie.
After all, if someone steps forward to help her, what's the difference between directly admitting that he is a member of Cheng Guangnian's so-called think tank?
Even Cheng Guangtian felt that he had overestimated Ning Kezhu.
I originally thought that if Ning Kezhu threw such a smoke bomb, there would definitely be a better method in the future.
Unexpectedly, a simple question would make Ning Ke Zhu feel confused.
Looking at the entire audience, few people believed Ning Kezhu's words.
Alas, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so anxious to jump out!
Ning Kezhu didn't mind this, and continued: "I think besides me, there should be someone who wants to protect the Cheng Group for Guangnian. If anyone wants to participate in the competition, or just doesn't want me to lead it,
Everyone can speak out now."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion again. To put it bluntly, except for Zhao Zepeng, no one else really had the courage.
Can't you tell by Zhao Zepeng's attitude? He is determined to win.
Moreover, what is the use of others standing up? Zhao Zepeng just made it very clear that among everyone present, besides him, who else holds more shares than Ning Kezhu?
This sentence also has another meaning, that is, who among you here has more shares than him?
What's more, he has the blessing of the four King Kongs around him, and he basically owns more than half of the remaining shares.
