"The temporary shareholder meeting held today is aimed at me." Han Xu stood up from his chair and looked at Xu Nianyi with a wry smile on his handsome face. "Things are a bit complicated, and it's a long story."
"What do you mean?" Hearing what Han Xu said, Xu Nianyi had more doubts in his heart, and subconsciously looked around with a trace of vigilance in his eyes, "What do you mean by that, what is it for you?"
"A project proposal will be held at the general meeting of shareholders. A few days ago, Xu Fei..." Han Xu paused, and immediately changed his words when he realized that the title was wrong: "It was Gao Xuehan who came to me and talked to me about this matter." The project wanted me to cooperate with her, but I felt that something was wrong and I wanted to transform the company, so I refused. Unexpectedly, after two days, other shareholders knew the news and said that a meeting would be held. If I firmly object, then The focus of this meeting is the second one—the chairman’s removal proposal.”
"I understand what you mean." Xu Nian nodded clearly. Obviously, the other shareholders in the group should have been persuaded by Xu Fei, so they want to collectively vote to approve this project.
She was the president of the company of the Rothschild family before, and she was involved in project and market management business management. She knew very well what the routes of these listed companies were.
Whether it is the president or chairman of a company, to put it bluntly, he is nothing more than a professional manager. She has done some research on the Han Group, and she knows that this company was originally a family business, and most of the top executives in the company are relatives within the family who are empty-paid and do nothing.
All family-owned enterprises will face such embarrassment. They all contributed to the enterprise at the beginning of its establishment and are relatives of the family. After the company makes profits, these relatives will become important senior leaders of various departments, but they do nothing. Corruption within the company.
Although the Han Group changed the family business into a joint-stock company in order to go public, and formed a financing cooperation relationship with other investors, which changed the phenomenon of corruption within the family business, the corporate management model has also changed from the original family management. It has become a more formal shareholder system management.
It is true that Han Xu is the chairman of the Han Group. He owns part of the shares of the Han Group, but it is only equivalent to a senior manager hired by the Han Group.
To really make major decisions, it is still necessary to hold a general meeting of shareholders, and only through a unanimous vote of shareholders can major projects or reforms be developed.
The theme of today's meeting should be to pass this new project.
"Han Xu, I believe in your personality and ability. Since you decided not to do this project, as one of the shareholders, I will choose to stand by your side and support your decision, but the other shareholders..." Xu Nian Yi looked awkwardly at the circle of shareholders who were already sitting close to the black conference table, and said worriedly, "If that Miss Gao convinces other shareholders to agree to this project, my vote alone will not be enough."
Looking around, there are more than a dozen men and women in the entire conference hall. These more than a dozen are shareholders of the Han Group. Each of them has voting rights, but if they have agreed in private, they will vote unanimously. If this project is passed, even if she votes against it, there is no way to turn the tide.
"I will try my best to convince them and explain to them the interests of this project. If they really decide to cooperate with Gao Xuehan, then I really can't do anything." Han Xu said with a sigh, Qingjuan For the first time, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Although I really want to help you, joint-stock companies are like this." She was also very helpless, but according to the regulations, if the shareholders' meeting passed a vote to start the project, but the chairman disagreed, then... the shareholders' meeting can By voting to remove Han Xu from the position of chairman, Han Xu can still hold shares, but he no longer has the decision-making power of the company!
"Okay, don't worry about me. I didn't call you to make you worry about me. I just let the rules and regulations work. You are one of the shareholders of the company. You need to be present when the company holds a shareholders meeting." Han Xu frowned Raised, the corners of the mouth curved slightly, "There are still 2 minutes before the general meeting of shareholders, you go and take your seat."
"good."
Xu Nianyi glanced at Han Xu worriedly, then walked back to his empty seat with heavy steps, pulled out the chair and sat down.
In the meeting room, the people sitting at the table were all in neat suits and neatly dressed, either whispering to each other, or waiting for the meeting to start with a blank expression, but no one had ever said a word to Xu Nianyi.
Two minutes later, the shareholders meeting was officially held.
Chairman Han Xu made a speech, announcing the start of the meeting, and briefly stated the project overview, explained the project background, feasibility analysis and a series of reports, and then gave his own views, disagreeing with this project cooperation.
Other shareholders here also began to express their opinions, but most of them were contrary to Han Xu's opinions, and they agreed and supported this project cooperation.
As Xu Nianyi expected, things started to go in a bad direction.
Since Han Xu firmly opposed this project cooperation, as the chairman, he has the decision-making power and execution ability to start the project, but his opinion this time is completely contrary to the ideas of the shareholders, and his tough attitude also made the shareholders very dissatisfied.
Although Xu Nianyi tried her best to express her disapproval of this project, but as a "monk who became a monk halfway through", no one listened to her opinion at all. The shares in her hand were transferred to her by Han Xu at the beginning. She has never invested in the Han family, let alone any relative of the Han family. Her opinions are ignored.
Han Xu strongly opposed it, but the shareholders were imperative to this project.
In order for the shareholders to carry out this project smoothly, the board of directors officially started an on-site vote to remove Han Xu from the position of chairman.
No vote, only one vote.
12 votes in favor.
Abstain, one vote.
Han Xu's father, Han Hongyuan, chose to abstain from voting.
When the voting results came out, the chairperson in the conference room announced that Han Xu's position as chairman of the Han Group had been removed. The company will list several candidates as the new chairman. Han Xu will lose the decision-making power of the Han Group, and the qualifications of directors will also be removed.
As Xu Nianyi expected, Han Xu has now become an ordinary shareholder.
"I announce below that the interim board meeting of our company has come to an end."
The moderator declares the meeting closed.
Those shareholders immediately got up and left the scene, whispering to each other and walked out of the conference room.
Xu Nianyi stood up from the chair worriedly, looked towards Han Xu, and was about to go to comfort him, but saw Han Xu's father, Han Hongyuan, first walked to Han Xu's side, patted Han Xu's shoulder, and lowered his head to meet Han Xu. What did Han Xu say.
Han Xu didn't stand up, but sat firmly on the chair while maintaining an upright posture, said a few words to his father with a heavy expression, then turned his head to the side in anger, and stopped looking at his father.
Han Hongyuan lowered his head, the expression on Han Hongyuan's face could no longer be seen from Xu Nianyi's position. Seeing Han Hongyuan standing beside Han Xu for a few seconds, he withdrew his hand and raised his head again. With an expressionless old face, he went straight to the meeting door.
Xu Nianyi immediately trotted to Han Xu, and looked at Han Xu nervously, "Han Xu, are you okay?"
Han Xu didn't speak, but shook his head slowly, still turning his head, looking at the position where Han Hongyuan was sitting just now.
"Han Xu..." Xu Nianyi was at a loss for words, she couldn't think of any words to comfort Han Xu.
This is the case with joint-stock companies. If the number of shares held by shareholders exceeds that of the chairman, the shareholders' meeting can vote to remove the chairman and re-appoint new directors to continue to manage the company.
This is the case with many foreign companies, and you will not be extra favored just because you have made great contributions to the company, nor will you be especially kind just because you are the founder of the company.
When the board of directors feels that you are no longer qualified to serve as chairman and cannot make the right decisions to guide the company, it is time to vote to remove you. Jobs, who was very popular in American electronic products at that time, was one of the founders of Apple. Isn't it the same that he was later dismissed by the board of directors
This is a very common thing in foreign companies, but what surprised her today was that Han Xu's father chose to abstain from voting!
Isn't Han Hongyuan Han Xu's father? Didn't you always have high hopes for Han Xu
She didn't understand, as Han Xu's father, Han Hongyuan didn't trust Han Xu at all, didn't he believe in Han Xu's ability? How could Han Hongyuan abstain at such a critical moment? Doesn't this directly negate all Han Xu's efforts in the Han Group? When other shareholders saw this situation, wouldn't they vote more vigorously
Xu Nianyi was a little helpless, suppressing the doubts in her heart, she looked at Han Xu apologetically, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry Han Xu, I didn't help you much."
"It has nothing to do with you."
Han Xu finally spoke. It took only ten minutes, but his voice became hoarse. It was as if a handful of sand had been added to his clear voice, making his voice extremely hoarse.
"Han Xu, don't worry, it's just dismissal, your shares are still there. As for the board of directors, it will take some time to elect a new chairman. During this time, I will ask Shao Jun to find a way to see if the shareholder meeting can vote. It's time to reappoint you to continue as the chairman." Hearing his hoarse voice, Xu Nianyi hastily comforted him.
But in fact, she can't guarantee that this method will be able to come up with. Because just this afternoon, Wei Shaokai's case also opened in court. She does not ensure that Shao Jun has the energy and ability to make the shareholders' meeting vote for Han Xu in the next vote.
"Don't be so troublesome. Thank you for reading one." Han Xu turned his head slowly, his voice weakened as if he was very tired, and he spoke unsteadily.
"Han Xu, you can't do this, don't be like this, don't take that position too seriously." Xu Nianyi looked at Han Xu anxiously, and unconsciously frowned, "We can continue to fight for the position of chairman. , but if the body is out of breath, it won't be worth it."
"Nian Yi, are you free to sit down and have a meal with me?" Han Xu asked softly, but when he said this, his eyes were looking straight ahead, without focus, as if his eyes had already crossed Abandon everything in front of you and look to an unknown place.
