I didn’t really want them to vote the way they wanted to, I just wanted to see which of these people were genuinely on my side. Sooner or later, I’m going to take over the company, and of course I need to find a few people I can trust.
Liu Rong panicked a bit and gritted his teeth, “At this point in time you are still blowing up and.”
I sat down and pretended not to understand his words, “Uncle Liu, where are you talking about? I was letting everyone decide freely whether Old Gan should stay or go. Besides, with my shareholding, I’m sure I’ll be able to keep Lao Gan, and when I make my shareholding public, everyone will be voting with me in order to prop me up. I’m doing this for your own good, why are you blaming me instead.”
“Don’t give me that. Guys, trust me for once, this kid will never have more than 20 per cent of the shares.”
There were still a few people who didn’t believe me, but after hearing my words, coupled with Liu Rong’s stirring, they all felt that what I had just said was a cover-up, that I didn’t have enough equity, so I had deliberately said that to gain an advantage.
I counted that Liu Rong still had the upper hand, with more than 70%, and not only that, another 5% of the shares had gone to Liu Rong.
Liu Rong laughed loudly, “Forty-five percent, unless Han Kun has left you more than thirty percent, I don’t believe he would be so generous.”
I didn’t finish my sentence and glanced at Lao Gan, who slowly and deliberately looked at Liu Rong with a “I’ll just watch you play hard to get” look before pulling out the last document from his bag.
He placed the document in the middle of the table, and I pushed it forward again so that everyone could see it more clearly.
Liu Rong froze for a moment, then dodged the contract and stared at the small print on the contract again and again.
“Fake, this can’t be, how can Han Kun?!” Liu Rong’s face turned red, almost like a pig’s liver, and stood up, tearing the copy to pieces straight away, “This is absolutely fake!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know.”
“I didn’t see it, what’s wrong?”
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Old Gan slowly pulled out another copy and handed it to me, “Liu Rong, don’t tear it up, it’s a waste of paper, I have more than one copy here. Xiao Wu, you can give everyone a copy.”
Old Gan said to his secretary, who quickly handed out the share contracts to everyone, and the surprised murmurs of the crowd nearly lifted the roof off the room.
“What?! How is this possible, forty percent of the equity!”
“Yeah, that can’t be right, that’s how much equity Zhang Dong used to have.”
“Lawyer Han didn’t take it for himself at all?! He’s most proficient in such legal terms.”
“How is that possible? After all these years, Lawyer Han actually doesn’t have any equity in his hands at all? I thought Dong Zhang had left him the largest shareholding before he left.”
“Yeah, it seems like Liu Rong thought the same thing.”
Liu Rong’s eyes trembled, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he tried to flee in a bit of a panic, but then he angrily clenched his fists.
In the midst of the confusion, Old Gan whispered to me, “Liu Rong is going to be P*ssed off this time. Previously, our whole company thought that Han Kun had equity. He held thirty percent on his behalf, which is why Ryu Rong thought you wouldn’t have more than twenty percent on your hands.”
I asked, “What’s the deal with that, can that be a lie? Do they never check?”
Old Gan smiled like an old fox and said, “I’m the finance manager, I know. I just know, I don’t have to tell them.”
Looking at Lao Gan like this, I suddenly realised that Liu Rong had not lost through bad luck, he had lost from the beginning to the end, how could he possibly beat the two old foxes, Lao Gan and Han Kun.
Old Gan said aloud: “The approval vote is forty-five percent, more than seventy percent of shareholders approve, but the percentage of shares held in attendance is one hundred percent, so the percentage of shares held in approval does not exceed fifty percent. Hey, it’s a pity, the old man can’t rest yet, I can only be the finance manager for another year. Mr. Liu, happy cooperation.”
He extended his hand and said to Liu Rong who was sitting limply in his chair.
Liu Rong raised the corners of his eyes, his eyes were red and covered with blood, that look was like a beast that was about to eat someone, his lips twitched and he gasped for air, that look was horrible.
But Old Gan actually just ignored it and smiled lightly on a cloud.
I suddenly felt that Old Gump’s fear and nervousness in front of him were all feigned.
“Old Gan, we’ll see.”
Liu Rong fled in defeat, and those shareholders who had just supported Liu Rong were embarra*sed to the extreme, and after coming to say a few polite words of congratulations to me, they slunk away.
As for the shareholders who supported me, they had long sat down with a clear mind and waited for me to say something.
I closed the door again and looked at the expectant faces with a strange feeling in my heart.
I, a loser who used to be nothing, could one day be in the highest cla*s office building in Tong City, giving directions to these industry elites, fate was truly magical.
“Everyone ……” I scanned the room, estimating the age of the scene, “Uncles and Uncles ……”
Perhaps I was too nervous and blushed when I finished, and everyone laughed at once.
“Little Chao, don’t be nervous, I even hugged you when I was a kid.” A man who looked to be in his forties said.
In fact, I had given lectures to the soldiers under my hands before, but those were all younger than me, and now that I was facing such a group of elders, I had to a*sume the posture of a young master, and I especially felt the embarra*sment of a child stealing an adult’s clothes.
“Eh, Old Li, why are you talking like that. Now this is a shareholders’ meeting, put away your bad habit of climbing up the social ladder. You used to be like this when Zhang Dong was around.”
“Old Mao, this is not wrong, Zhang Jun and us are brothers, buddies! When he was around, I didn’t have to wear a suit and hold some kind of shareholders’ meeting. If there’s anything important, we’ll talk about it at the barbecue stall.”
“Hahahaha, yeah! When Little Jun was around, Old Mao was the most unruly. But Little Jun has a good temper and doesn’t bother with you.”
“What’s the point of getting into trouble when you’re all brothers in your own family? When we were fighting in the mountains and just starting up, we couldn’t even afford to rent a house, we rented the same rental house together, and we’ve seen each other’s bare a*ses, what else do we have to pretend to be? Hahaha.”
“That’s right, I miss that time, that’s when it was really fun!”
Even Old Gan was so excited that he couldn’t contain himself and reminisced with them about those days.
