The large conference room was solemn as if they were attending a funeral. Each of their faces was as black as coal, and their expressions were grave.
When they saw the current chairman pushing the old chairman in, these people’s faces were even more colorful.
Kelvin pushed Pedro in, which at least explained two things. First, An Yang was seriously ill, and now he could only sit in a wheelchair.
The second thing was that she was so sick that she came to the board of directors. It meant that something had happened.
The vice president Zhang Guoren, who was sitting at the end of the long table facing Kelvin, was also the first vice president.
Seeing his older brother, Pedro, he said, “Brother Boyang, if you’re in poor health, you can just call me if you need help. Why do you have to come here personally?”
“Guoren, I heard that my son didn’t do well enough. I want to come over and listen to everyone’s opinion. You are the hero of our company.”
Zhang Guoren smiled and said to all the board members, supervisors, and government officials present with a smile on his face, “What Brother Boyang said is right. When we established the Ann Enterprise together, I single-handedly won the market in Southwest and Zhejiang, which laid the foundation of the company.”
Pedro did not deny his contribution. “You are right, so I say that you are a great hero in our company.”
“No, Brother Boyang, you are the real hero of the Ann Enterprise, not me. Later, we took part in the reformation. You said that we should give some shares to others. Later, you took 30% of the shares, and I only took more than 10%, the rest for everyone present.”
“And then you were the high-ranking chairman of the board. I was just the vice president and I could do that. But for so many years, my enterprise made a lot of contributions, so Kelvin was too young to take charge of such a big company. A few days ago, there was a major crisis in the business in Huanan. The competitors were unable to get a piece of cake because they did not have a good relationship with the relevant departments.”
Kelvin’s face was pale at this time. Every word of the vice president Zhang Guoren said seemed to be right.
Pedro occasionally coughed a few times, and there were other directors who were about the same age as Zhang Guoren.
When Zhang Guoren spoke, they were all excited. Obviously, they were on Zhang Guoren’s side.
Another Chairman Wang also said, “Mr. Ann, at first we opposed you giving your chairman to your son. After all, Shi Kun did not experience the years of blood and fire with us. The company is so big now, but he is not strong enough, and he is indecisive. He does not know how to make use of it.”
The so-called “big” referred to Chairman Wang’s interest in a certain land, but the person in charge of the project was interested in Dong Yundie, the personal secretary of Kelvin.
Chairman Wang asked him to sacrifice his Secretary Dong for this project, but Kelvin did not agree. Therefore, the company’s gossip was endless. They claimed that Dong Yundie was the lover of the chairman.
And this was just a small portion of the Nansheng’s movements.
Kelvin coughed and explained, “Chairman Wang, I have explained to you about the real estate project. This project has already been signed with Huating University, and it is impossible for them to sign a contract with us.”
“Brother Boyang, listen to what your son has to say, to boost others’ morale and put them down. When we first started our business, which order was not robbed from others, we even had a few days of bloodshed. He is too timid.”
A middle-aged man in his fifties mocked the middle-aged Kelvin for being so timid, which made the board of directors sigh with emotion.
These middle-aged uncles had become the most important bottleneck of An’s Economics. They had soldiers and reputation. They were like the trusted followers of the ancient emperor, who thought that every reform would split their land.
So it didn’t matter whether the enterprise made money or not. What mattered was whether their pockets could be bulging more and more every year.
As the current chairman of the board, Kelvin had 32 neat teeth when he opened his mouth. With Brucille’s support behind him, he was ready to risk everything.
“I think many people present think that my relationship with Secretary Dong is unusual, so I don’t want to give her out. But the truth is far from the truth. The actual owner of Huating Real Estate is Mr. Wong. He wants us to be involved in it because he wants to lower the price and then gain benefits.”
The audience was shocked. The Huada Real Estate was the local biggest competitor of the native real estate group under the An company.
She did not expect Chairman Wang to be behind her.
Mr. Wong slammed the table angrily and stood up immediately.
“It’s nonsense. Have you reached this level of Kelvin? Are you going to do anything to force our founder to leave?”
“Chairman Wang, this is the property structure behind Huada Real Estate Group. This woman named Cui Tianhua is your mistress. I think I don’t need to tell her her real name.”
President Wang, who would not give up until the end of his life, schemed to control the Huada Real Estate Group through the third person. The scene was filled with sighs.
But he still argued, “Don’t make it sound so harsh. We’re just friends. You insulted my reputation with such unnecessary charges. I have decided to hand over the words of the board of directors to Zhang Guoren.”
That’s right. This was the real beginning of the story. According to the example of the board of directors, everyone in the board of directors today wanted to remove Kelvin from the position of chairman.
Even before that, these old things had already secretly opened countless research meetings.
He had just taken advantage of everyone’s presence and was ready to change the chairman.
Kelvin knew that these people had already unified in private. He only had 30% of the shares, and he was afraid that less than half of them would support him. If he was forced to do so, Ann Enterprise would be seriously threatened.
Brucille had not come yet. He promised to bring back information on how to change the situation, but Chairman Wang’s information was not enough to reverse the situation. After all, he had little shares.
The one who really affected the overall situation was Zhang Guoren, the deputy director.
After Chairman Wang made his stand, the other directors immediately said, “Mr. Ann, everyone is here today. I suggest choosing a chairman. We must do this for the cooperation of our company.”
“Yes, I support such a decision. We must choose another chairman to lead Ann Enterprise out of trouble. National Honor is the best candidate.”
Everyone’s only goal was to pull Anbang down from the position of chairman.
Pedro looked at his brothers who came out of a ditch. At this time, for his own selfish interests, he actually wanted to take the company as his own. It was simply unreasonable.
