"Cough cough..." In the corridor on the third floor, Old Han suddenly bent over and started coughing.
Ye Chui was beside him and quickly supported his arm: "Mr. Han, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just have a sore throat lately." Old Han covered his mouth with his hand and said casually, "No big problem."
Ye Chui frowned and said, "I'll make you a bowl of lung-moistening and cough-relieving soup later. It's good for your throat."
"Lung moistening and cough relieving soup? Great, I'm looking forward to it." Han Lao immediately showed an expression of great interest, "Let's go watch the show first, and then you can help me make the soup. Hey, the soup will definitely taste even better by then."
While they were talking, Lin Zhengdao, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Chen, who were walking in the front, had already arrived outside the box. Su Xin stood at one side and opened the door of the box. Lin Zhengdao walked in with a smile and greeted them, "Lao Qi, Robert, Lu Ming, Wei Yi, Han Tao, you have such a big team. This is the first time that the six major shareholders of Lin's Enterprise have gathered together in such an orderly manner."
"Old Lin, you are the one who is making a big fuss. We have been waiting for half an hour." The white man, Robert, spoke in stiff Chinese. His voice was full of inexplicable humor, and from his tone, it was clear that the foreigner was quite close to Lin Zhengdao, speaking in a joking tone.
"I was delayed by something." Lin Zhengdao said apologetically.
When Ye Chui and Lin Wei accompanied Old Han to the door of the box, Lin Zhengdao had already sat down at the table opposite the five people, with his three confidants sitting beside him.
When they saw Mr. Han coming in with Lin Zhengdao, the expressions of Zhang Hantao and the other five people changed a little.
The oldest of the five stood up and asked indifferently, "Mr. Han, this is an internal matter of our Lin Group. I wonder what you are doing here?"
"Can't I just come and watch the fun? What do you care about me?" Old Han said with a stern face. He glanced at the old man and said, "Little Qizi, don't forget that I spanked you when you were a child. How come you don't remember it at all now that you're so old?"
Everyone: “…”
Being older is good.
That little Qizi… The old man was already over sixty years old, but in the eyes of Old Han, he was nothing at all. He had even spanked him when he was a child.
The old man's face suddenly became very ugly.
Old Han seemed to ignore what he said, and turned to Ye Chui proudly and said, "When Qi Yaohua was young, he relied on his family's wealth to be so arrogant. Later, I blocked him in an alley and spanked him severely. After that, he ran as far away as possible when he saw me. But I think he has forgotten the pain now."
Ye Chui: “…”
What Mr. Han was talking about probably happened at least fifty years ago, right
Wei Yi, the charming woman sitting next to the dining table, couldn't help but laugh softly, but she quickly covered her mouth again.
Others couldn't help laughing as well.
The old man, Qi Yaohua, had a trembling face due to anger, but he finally lost his temper and sat down again somewhat disappointedly, but he looked at Zhang Hantao beside him, asking him to deal with Old Han, as if he was helpless.
Zhang Hantao's dark face showed helplessness, but he still stood up with a smile on his face: "Mr. Han, you are a leader in our business circle. We are just elementary school students in front of you. But today, it is an internal issue of our Lin Group. Isn't it inappropriate for a leader like you to meddle in the affairs of elementary school students?"
"You little bastard, you are so young and yet you are already learning to flatter others. What I hate most is people like you who are two-faced and betray their own people!"
Old Han did not have a good look at Zhang Hantao. He walked straight into the box, pulled out a stool and sat down, as if he did not care at all about what Zhang Hantao said.
The dining table in the box was very large. Zhang Hantao and four others sat on one side, Lin Zhengdao and three of his confidants sat on the other side, and Old Han sat in the middle.
The middle-aged man who came with Mr. Han was Mr. Han’s secretary assistant. He sat down next to Mr. Han.
It was not convenient for Ye Chui and Lin Wei to get involved in what was happening in the box, so Ye Chui stood next to Mr. Han and Lin Wei stood next to Lin Zhengdao.
Because of Mr. Han's retort, the smile on Zhang Hantao's dark face gradually turned into anger, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly.
"I invited Mr. Han here." Lin Zhengdao chuckled and said, "As for what he is here for, we can talk about it later. I would like to ask you first, why did you call me here?"
"We hope that you, Boss Lin, can take the initiative to resign and leave Lin's Enterprise." Lu Ming said bluntly and coldly, "This is the result of our board of directors' discussion, because we believe that you, Boss Lin, are no longer capable of leading the development of the company."
Following Lu Ming's words, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense.
Zhang Hantao sat down again with a sneer on his face. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Oh, really?" Lin Zhengdao smiled calmly and asked, "Why can you make such a judgment?"
"Mr. Lin, you took the initiative to decline the position of president because of your wife. This shows that the company is not important to you." Lu Ming continued, "Moreover, it has been proven that after Zhang Hantao became the president and was responsible for the company's operations, the business has increased by 30% in the past six months. This is enough to show that Zhang Hantao is more suitable to lead the company's future. As for you, Mr. Lin, we think you are not suitable to continue leading the company."
The responsibility of the board of directors, in simple terms, is to supervise the company. The appointment of the company's president is also decided by the board of directors through consultation. Lin Zhengdao is the first director of the board and owns 37% of the company's shares. He usually has the highest decision-making power in the board of directors. However, during the time when Lin Zhengdao was in Xizhou, Zhang Hantao colluded with several other directors and united against Lin Zhengdao.
Although Lin Zhengdao is still the first director of the board of directors, his powers are greatly restricted.
Lu Ming's words made it clear that he hoped Lin Zhengdao would voluntarily resign from all positions in Lin's Enterprise, and even let go of the stocks he controlled.
Lin Zhengdao's face remained calm. He smiled and said, "That is to say, if I want to continue to work in Lin's Enterprise as a senior executive, I must show enough performance to prove myself, right?"
"That's right." Lu Ming said, "At least you have to prove to us that you are worthy of continuing to lead the company! At least, your value should be greater than Zhang Hantao's!"
Among the six members of the Lin Enterprise Board of Directors in the box, Lin Zhengdao holds the most shares, while Zhang Hantao holds the least, less than 10%. However, his execution ability is outstanding and he is qualified to compete with Lin Zhengdao for the leadership position.
As for Qi Yaohua, Lu Ming, Wei Yi and Robert, although they hold shares, they are only board members and do not participate in the direct operation of the company. In other words, they are only responsible for supervising the company and appointing important employees.
The basis for appointment is the other party's ability.
Similarly, although Lu Ming and the other four directors are now on Zhang Hantao's side, this does not mean that they have been bribed by Zhang Hantao. Their position is absolutely fair. After all, their decisions will affect the future of the company.
Zhang Hantao showed a smug look on his face, and looked at Lin Zheng coldly, "Boss, I was willing to be your dog before, but slowly I understood the feeling of standing at the top. I, Zhang Hantao, will not always be inferior to others. Don't worry, if you hand over the company to me, I will manage it well, and from now on, his surname will be Zhang, not Lin."
Lin Zhengdao looked at Zhang Hantao and suddenly sighed: "Hantao, you disappoint me so much. Do you remember what I told you before, don't rush to celebrate the victory before things are 100% certain?"
"Stop preaching to me." Zhang Hantao said coldly, "My abilities are now clear to see. The only achievement you can show off is the Deguang Company project you snatched from me some time ago. What else can you use to fight me?"
"Scrape!"
Mr. Han suddenly raised his unhappy voice. He scratched his ears with his fingers, then smiled and said, "I'm hungry in the middle of the day. It's too boring to continue listening to you guys quarreling. Xiao Zhou, show them the document."
"Okay, old man." The middle-aged man sitting next to Mr. Han immediately stood up, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Lu Ming who was closest to him.
"What is this?" Lu Ming frowned.
Qi Yaohua and others also looked over curiously at the same time.
Mr. Han definitely didn't come here today to watch the fun. They knew that the old man had other purposes. Lin Zhengdao has remained calm until now, which is obviously related to the document in Mr. Han's hand.
The middle-aged man, whom Mr. Han called Xiao Zhou, introduced with a smile: "This is a letter of intent for cooperation, which was signed by Mr. Han and Mr. Lin a few days ago."
"Letter of Intent for Cooperation?" Lu Ming looked at Lin Zhengdao strangely and opened the first page of the letter of intent. When he saw the first line of the first page, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Yan Ning Food City Development Planning Cooperation Intent... This... This..."
Lu Ming was completely stunned.
Not only Lu Ming, but also Qi Yaohua, Wei Yi, Robert and Zhang Hantao were all stunned.
Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu and Xiao Chen beside Lin Zhengdao also showed surprised expressions. It was obvious that they didn't know about this either.
Ye Chui, who was standing next to Old Han, immediately understood why Lin Zhengdao had remained calm.
The letter of intent for cooperation in the development planning of the Yanjing Food City is a huge project. It is a city development, and it is in a place like Yanjing. Ye Chui has also paid attention to the development plan of the Food City. This is a planning project that only appears in the food era.
That is to transform an entire urban area into a food city!
The authorities are even planning to make this food city the best in Asia, or even the world!
Its operating and development revenue is at least several billion.
It is almost impossible for any company to take on such a large project alone.
Mr. Han got this big project with his own qualifications, but he also had to find other companies to cooperate in the development of this project. Because Lin's Enterprise has always been in competition with Mr. Han's family company, no one expected that Mr. Han would give such a big piece of the pie to Lin Zhengdao!
Now Mr. Han and Lin Zhengdao have quietly reached this cooperation intention. The value of this letter of intent alone is much more important than everything Zhang Hantao has done in the past six months combined!
It can almost be said that once this letter of intent was taken out, all of Zhang Hantao’s previous efforts came to naught!
There was silence in the box.
"Haha." Old Han seemed to appreciate the surprised expressions of the people in the room. He turned around and said to Ye Chui with a smile, "Boy, don't just stand there. The show is over. It's time to get me that bowl of lung-clearing and cough-relieving soup."
Ye Chui: “…Okay.” (~^~)
