Of course, this is just data on paper. It would be better to avoid going to this step at all.
Since everyone can calculate this account, those shareholders who account for a small proportion also know that Zhao Zepeng cannot win all the support of the remaining nearly 60 shareholders. Among them, some are neutral, some are undecided, and even some are undecided.
Those who originally planned to vote for Zhao Zepeng will now be wavered and even directly vote for Ning Kezhu.
It can be said that Zhao Zepeng has lost.
If the situation has evolved to this point, if Ning Kezhu can still lose this competition because all shareholders fall to Zhao Zepeng's side, then how bad will Ning Kezhu's popularity be?
In other words, how unpopular is Cheng Guangnian within the group?
Cheng Guangnian is arbitrary and true to his word, but he has never made a decision-making mistake in these years. Even if he is usually a bit strict, the shareholders are still grateful for everything Cheng Guangnian has done.
If I really have any dissatisfaction, it's just about the shares.
The reason why many shareholders are willing to support Zhao Zepeng this time is largely because they hope that after Zhao Zepeng comes to power, he can introduce a series of policies and raise funds.
This will dilute Cheng Guangnian's equity and reduce his voice.
At least, when Cheng Guangnian's shares are reduced to less than 40%, even if the shares held by Du Group and Cheng Yu are included, Cheng Guangnian will not be able to make a statement like he is now.
But the fundamental purpose of weakening Cheng Guangnian is to increase his own voice, not to put Cheng Guangnian to death.
No one, including Zhao Zepeng, really wanted Cheng Guangnian to die.
Therefore, when it became clear that the situation was no longer under Zhao Zepeng's control, it was even less possible for other shareholders to unite together to collectively support Zhao Zepeng.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of these shareholders in the conference room, Zhao Zepeng had already realized this.
Although it will take some time for Ning Ke Zhu to truly win.
But if it really comes down to it, it will only take a few hours at most, and she will definitely be able to do it before getting off work.
Under this situation, Zhao Zepeng felt that there was no need to fight to the end.
With a long sigh, Zhao Zepeng wanted to take the initiative to say that he wanted to give up, but he also had the last dignity and he didn't want to fall into such an embarrassing situation.
At this time, Lawyer Lin took out his last resort.
"I wonder if Ms. Ning told everyone just now that Chairman Cheng has a private team.
Of course, this private person means that its members are only responsible to Chairman Cheng, but it does not mean that this team is supported by Chairman Cheng.
I can tell you clearly that I am a member of this team.
Everyone else is in this conference room. Because the other members of this team are colleagues with you, it is inconvenient for them to reveal their other identities.
I don't have this worry. Our team exists for two purposes.
First, when Chairman Cheng encounters a decision-making problem, he is responsible for expressing his opinions and ultimately helping Chairman Cheng find the most appropriate decision-making solution.
Secondly, if anything goes wrong that is not planned, our team must do our best to protect the interests of Chairman Cheng’s family.
Anyone who tries to stir up trouble while Chairman Cheng is unable to visit in person will inevitably face counterattack from every member of our team.
In order to allow the giant ship Cheng Group to sail more safely, I hope everyone can carefully consider the selection of acting chairman."
There was an uproar in the conference room.
Lawyer Lin's words are undoubtedly a threat, a naked threat to all unstable factors.
But at the same time, he was also supporting what Ning Kezhu said.
Now that there is a person who claims his identity, it seems that this think tank definitely exists.
Faced with Lawyer Lin's threat, Zhao Zepeng just snorted and did not give any response.
Is Zhao Zepeng afraid of the threat from Lawyer Lin?
To be honest, no!
With his holdings of 10% and his family worth tens of billions, he really is not afraid of the threat of a lawyer.
So what if there really is a think tank?
Taken together, this group of people is not even as powerful as Zhao Zepeng alone, let alone the family behind Zhao Zepeng.
But Zhao Zepeng is not afraid, but what about other shareholders?
Among the shareholders present, not everyone has Zhao Zepeng’s stature.
Even if the "Four King Kong" beside him are not afraid of Lawyer Lin's words, what about the other people who hold about 1% of the shares?
What about the executives and technical staff who are attached to the Cheng Group and have obtained shares of the Cheng Group?
Their net worth ranges from tens of millions to hundreds of millions or even billions. They seem to be very powerful, but who knows the identities and status of the members of the think tank that Lawyer Lin mentioned?
At least, Lawyer Lin himself is no worse than most of them.
It would be unwise to offend a lawyer Lin and the law firm behind him, let alone what they are about to face is the entire think tank affiliated with Cheng Guangnian?
There is no doubt that everyone present, except Zhao Zepeng and the four people beside him, must carefully consider the threat from Lawyer Lin.
And Ning Kezhu has the support of the Du Group!
The "Four King Kongs" were very embarrassed. They looked at Zhao Zepeng, their eyes showing their intention to quit.
When it reaches this level, it is really unnecessary to continue fighting with Ning Kezhu.
Ning Kezhu signed the three identical contracts and returned them to Lawyer Lin.
After lawyer Lin checked it, he said the document was valid.
This means that Ning Kezhu gave up 10% of Qianjin's shares and received 3.5% of Cheng's Group's shares.
Now, she can attend today's meeting as a shareholder of Cheng's Group instead of as Mrs. Cheng Guangnian.
"Dear shareholders, the arrival of Lawyer Lin has interrupted our discussion. Now, Lawyer Lin, do you have anything else to do?"
Lawyer Lin shook his head and said: "Not yet." But he had no intention of leaving. There was no doubt that he was waiting for the final result. Once the performance of those shareholders dissatisfied him, he would immediately open Cheng Guangnian's document
Here are the next few steps.
Zhao Zepeng gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The four people beside him also looked at each other in confusion, intending to retreat immediately, but they found it difficult to step down.
"Since there are no new proposals, let's start voting. Since the final voting weight is determined based on the number of shares, there is no way to do a secret vote. We can only bother all shareholders to vote by a show of hands. Mr. Cheng, after the voting starts
, you need to calculate as soon as possible the percentage of shares held by shareholders who have voted."
Master Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, Ms. Ning, I will do it as soon as possible."
"Then, let's get started. Who should vote first, Mr. Zhao or me?"
Zhao Zepeng snorted and said: "Let's vote on Mrs. Cheng first. Shareholders who agree with Mrs. Cheng's appointment as acting chairman are asked to vote by a show of hands."
The reason why he asked for a vote first was because he was doing a final show of respect for himself.
Otherwise, once the vote is taken, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he only has the "Four King Kong" beside him?
Ning Kezhu had no objection, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
The three old ministers immediately raised their hands and said almost simultaneously: "My vote goes to Mrs. Cheng."
The other shareholders looked at each other and raised their hands unwilling to be left behind.
For a time, almost everyone on the conference table, except Zhao Zepeng and the four people around him, raised their hands.
There is no need to calculate anymore.
Ning Kezhu got Cheng Yu's five points of share voting rights, and was supported by five points from the Du Group. He still had three and five points in his name. Adding three old ministers, this amounted to more than seventeen
percentage points.
Among the remaining shareholders, six shareholders with more than 1% of the shares were sitting at the conference table.
They also raised their hands.
That's another close to seven percent stake.
Twenty-four percent.
And most of the nearly fifty executives and technicians around them also raised their hands.
Nearly three percent.
Twenty-seven percent is too much.
As for the Cheng Group, except for Cheng Guangnian, because they had just exchanged 3.5% of their shares, the shares held by everyone else were only 53.5%.
Twenty-seven percent, already more than half.
There are three people who did not raise their hands.
The combined shares of the three of them are less than 0.1%.
As for the remaining shares with less than two points, they are held by two shareholders who have not yet arrived.
But even if they recorded the ticket in Zhao Zepeng's name, it was already too late.
At this time, Cheng Fu no longer needs to calculate the number of shares of voters. He only needs to exclude the three people who did not raise their hands, as well as the shares in the names of the two shareholders who were not present, plus the shares of Zhao Zepeng and his four people.
Just the total number will do.
Looking at the four people around him and the only three executives who didn't raise their hands, Zhao Zepeng sighed secretly.
I said in my heart that you three fools, it’s okay if the four of them don’t raise their hands.
They are all shareholders with a shareholding of more than three points. No matter how powerful Zhu is, he cannot do anything to them.
But don’t you three want to stay in the Cheng Group?
Looking at the four people next to him again, Zhao Zepeng winked at the three executives who did not raise their hands, meaning to ask them to raise their hands as well.
At this time, if they don't raise their hands, they are simply making themselves targets.
But those three people didn't know why, but they ignored Zhao Zepeng's eyes, and even turned their heads away, without any intention of raising their hands.
Zhao Zepeng sighed again, kicked the two people next to him under the table, lowered his head, and said in a very low voice: "Raise your hands."
The two people were obviously stunned and looked at Zhao Zepeng hesitantly. Finally, they sighed and kicked the person next to them, and then raised their hands.
Although this was not a scene that everyone was sure to see, the fact that these four people raised their hands when such a scene appeared was not unexpected by anyone.
After all, if you don't raise your hand when the overall situation has been decided, you are openly going against the Cheng family.
Not to mention the possibility that Cheng Guangnian will come back, even if he really can't afford it, it won't take long for Ning Zhu to put everything together after he takes office.
It is impossible for a behemoth like the Cheng Group to sink just like that.
At best, the pace of progress is no longer as rapid as it was when Cheng Guangnian was here.
And once Ning Kezhu frees up her hands, she will definitely target the people who disagreed with her today.
At the very least, I'll let you go home and become a landlord, living off the Cheng Group's dividends every year.
The most important thing is to try every means to continue to dilute the few shares of these people. In the business world, there are many methods.
Zhao Zepeng also let out a long breath, stood up, and held up his hands with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Mrs. Cheng, oh no, I should call you Chairman Ning now. Since everyone voted for Chairman Ning, here I am.
I have become a loner, so I won’t vote for this part. I still have some things to deal with, so I’ll take the first step.”
After saying that, Zhao Zepeng pushed away his chair and walked out of the conference room door.
The three old ministers also stood up, raised their hands to Ning Kezhu, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Chairman Ning for taking office. We three old guys rarely come to the company. These days, we are mainly worried about Director Cheng's condition.
Now that Director Ning has taken office, we will no longer stay in the company. Director Ning, now that you have taken office, you have to make the shares in our hands more and more valuable. We old guys are all pointing to this
How can we live with the annual dividends from our shares!”
Ning Kezhu nodded slightly, shook hands with the three old men one by one, and said: "You three, please rest assured, and everyone, please rest assured. Although Xiao Ning is not talented, he is willing to do his best for the long-term development of the Cheng Group."
"Hahaha, okay, okay. Let's go now. We are old and will be hungry when the meal comes."
The three old ministers left with a satisfied smile.
Others, whether they were those who originally supported Ning Kezhu, were neutral, were just outsiders, or were like the three people who did not raise their hands and the "Four Vajras", at this moment they all naturally expressed their support for Ning Kezhu.
Congratulations.
One of them asked: "Director Ning, would you like to arrange for the managers of each department and the actual persons in charge of each project to come to your office to report on their work this afternoon?"
Everyone felt that since Ning Hezhu had just arrived and had no understanding of the Cheng Group's business, this debriefing was definitely needed.
However, Ning Kezhu shook his head and said: "No need, everyone is very busy, don't make superficial remarks, everyone should be busy with their own work.
I will use the shortest possible time to familiarize myself with all the company's current businesses. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you in person.
If I can't meet you in person, I will also use video phone to ask for your advice.
I just saw it in Guangnian's office. Everything in the company is backed up in Guangnian's office and on his computer.
After I have a general understanding of what the group is currently operating, I will have another meeting with you."
Seeing that Ning Kezhu said this, everyone stopped talking.
"It's getting late. I won't delay everyone's lunch. Originally, I just came today and I should treat everyone to lunch, but there are too many people. I'm afraid that once we eat, time will be out of control. Allow me to take the group
After the operation is clarified, I’ll treat you all to dinner. In the afternoon, I’ll treat everyone in the group to afternoon tea.”
Everyone also thanked him one after another and then left.
Cheng Fu saw Ning Kezhu slumped on the seat, but Lawyer Lin still had no intention of leaving, so he stood up very lightly.
"Auntie, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. After the meeting minutes are compiled, I will send them to the computer on your desk. Oh, are you working in Director Cheng's office?"
Ning Kezhu nodded and said, "Well, I'll work there. You go ahead and eat quickly. I have a lot of things to do with you in a while."
"good."
After Mr. Cheng left, Lawyer Lin walked to the door and carefully closed the door of the conference room.
"Director Ning, I have something to confess to you."
Ning Kezhu forced a smile, pointed to the seat, and said, "Lawyer Lin, thank you for your hard work. Sit down and talk."
Lawyer Lin was not polite. After sitting down, he said, "Director Cheng's private team does not actually exist. You should be aware of this, right?"
Ning Kezhu sighed and said: "When you mentioned this matter to me this morning, I actually felt that you were not always reliable. I have known Guangnian so well that I have been married to him for more than 20 years. He has always been
Since then, I have not been the kind of person who is likely to listen to other people's opinions. I have long guessed that the so-called think tank does not exist. You should say so, it should be his instruction. However, how I wish there really is such a team,
That way, it won’t be difficult for me to get started.”
Although he won this competition, Ning Kezhu knew that the difficulties he faced had only just begun.
From then on, the operation of the entire Cheng Group was the biggest dilemma he faced.
Lawyer Lin smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry too much.
Although the matter of the private team is indeed just a rhetoric that Director Cheng has given me a long time ago, at least I, and the legal advisory team I lead, are absolutely loyal to Director Cheng.
You may not know that in addition to the annual consulting fees paid to us by the group, each member of our legal team also receives an annual personal fee from Mr. Cheng.
This is the cost of our legal consultation and assistance for Director Cheng’s personal matters.”
Ning Kezhu nodded slowly and said, "Well, there will definitely be a lot of legal issues to trouble you in the future."
"Everything should be done. In addition, Director Cheng said something that he only said to me."
Ning Kezhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lawyer Lin. Lawyer Lin had no expression on his face and always maintained a businesslike attitude.
"Director Cheng said that once an unexpected situation occurs and you take over the position of chairman of the group, let me bring this sentence to you. It is up to you to judge whether to accept it or not."
Ning Kezhu stared at Lawyer Lin, wondering whether Lawyer Lin was playing tricks or if Cheng Guangnian really had something for him to bring to him.
After a long while, Ning Kezhu said: "Just tell me, Lawyer Lin."
"Director Cheng asked me to tell you that in the company, you can choose to trust Zhao Zepeng."
Ning Kezhu was stunned. His body, which had been slumped on the chair due to exhaustion, suddenly sat upright.
"Zhao Zepeng?!"
Lawyer Lin smiled politely and said, "Director Cheng asked me to bring this sentence to you. Well, it may also be brought to Mr. Cheng. In short, whoever of you is sitting in this position today, let me tell you."
Ning Kezhu's brows knitted together tightly. She really couldn't understand how it could be Zhao Zepeng?
No reason!
Zhao Zepeng was the only one who stood up to him, and he was also the one who desperately wanted to take the position of acting chairman. How could Cheng Guangnian say that she could trust Zhao Zepeng?
Logically speaking, the person Ning Kezhu should be wary of the most is Zhao Zepeng, right?
"Mr. Ning, I did not send any colleagues to Mr. Cheng's side. This is what Director Cheng meant. I will seal those three documents together until you decide to cash them in, or throw them away when Director Cheng returns.
Into the shredder.”
Ning Kezhu nodded, indicating that he understood that this was just a formality and there was no need to actually carry it out to the end.
"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Lawyer Lin stood up.
Ning Kezhu also stood up, shook hands with Lawyer Lin, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It should."
After saying that, Lawyer Lin turned around and left, while Ning Kezhu looked at Lawyer Lin's back, unable to look away for a long time.
I believe Zhao Zepeng, what kind of medicine is sold in Cheng Guangnian's gourd?
Why would he want me to believe Zhao Zepeng?
Is Zhao Zepeng his?
Then Zhao Zepeng's performance today...
No, it’s all the performances from Cheng Guangnian’s accident to now...
