That person was his opponent, Ji Wei, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group.

In the past year, with the continuous mergers and acquisitions of the Jiuding consortium and the spin-off, the strength of Jiuding Hotel Management Group has also expanded rapidly, and it has long owned not only the brand of Marco Polo Hotels, but also the Mandarin Hotel obtained from the spin-off of Hongkong Land Group, and the 49% equity of the Sheraton Hotel obtained from the spin-off of Hutchison Whampoa.

In particular, the Sheraton Hotel, although it is only 49% of the equity, but the management is in the hands.

In this way, several brands of Jiuding Hotel Management Group compete with Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group.

Ji Wei is also a person with a very strong fighting spirit, and has launched a series of means to compete with his peers, and the effect is very significant, and because of the positioning problem, the most affected is the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group.

Therefore, Roland Kadoorie attaches great importance to Ji Wei, a young man who is less than half his age, and even without considering the background of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, he regards Ji Wei as a rival with equal strength.

But now, the opponent who has been fighting with him for a long time is actually sitting in his own company, and he is still talking and laughing with Liang Zhonghao, the representative of the largest shareholder, but he has not received any news before.

How this did not make Rorente Kadoorie feel shocked.

Could it be that today, the Shanghu Hotel Group, which symbolizes the honor of the Kadoorie family, is about to change hands?

"Mr. Kadoorie, what are you doing standing at the door, please come in!"

Leung said to Lorence Kadoorie with a smile, as if he didn't notice the strangeness of the atmosphere at all.

Several other shareholders, including representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, which holds 5.7 percent of the shares, looked at Rorenz Kadoorie with some different expressions.

It is worth mentioning that in order not to be exposed early, the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank was not transferred to the hands of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, and unless it was absolutely necessary, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank would not take a clear position, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Lorence Kadoorie and affect a series of plans later.

"Good morning, everyone, I'm sorry I'm late!

Rorente Kadoorie quickly collected his mood, regained his composure, and said apologetically as he walked inside.

No matter what happens next, at least don't lose your face.

On the board of directors, it is natural that Lorence Kadoorie, who is on the rotating role, should sit first, but at the shareholders' meeting, the position can be ranked according to the level of equity.

When Lorence Kadoorie took his seat, Leung Chung-ho, who was sitting in the first place, nodded to the staff standing by the door, and the staff immediately closed the door and exited.

Seeing this, Liang Zhonghao said: "Okay, the time has come, the people who should come are here, and the people who didn't come will probably not come, the shareholders' meeting has officially begun, and now I will introduce the new major shareholders to you." ”

"The one sitting next to me, Mr. Ji Weiji, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, holds 20.2% of the shares of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, and is the second largest shareholder of the group. ”

"Let's welcome Mr. Ji to our big family!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After speaking, Liang Zhonghao took the lead in applauding, and the others immediately applauded, only Lorence Kadoorie patted his face ugly and stopped, looking at Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei sharply.

"Hello everyone!"

Ji Wei smiled and got up to say hello to everyone, and then sat down again.

"Mr. Ji, I didn't expect that we would sit together in this way, which is very surprising to me. ”

Roland Kadoorie looked at Ji Wei and said lightly.

Ji Wei smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, the world is impermanent, and there should be more than one thing you didn't expect. ”

After speaking, Ji Wei ignored the solemn face of Roland Kadoorie and looked at Liang Zhonghao.

Liang Zhonghao understood, and he didn't plan to drag the mud and water, pretending not to see the sharp gaze of Roland Kadoorie, and said expressionlessly: "Next, we will officially enter the articles of association of this general meeting of shareholders." ”

"In fact, there is only one charter, that is, the company's operating situation needs to be improved, although the income has been growing over the years, but in the new situation, the growth rate is not stable, and there is a trend of slowing down, so I propose to re-elect the board of directors to change the company's status quo!"

As soon as these words came out, Rorentz Kadoorie's face changed dramatically, and what he feared finally happened.

He couldn't believe that his friendship with the Liang family for so many years didn't work like this?

I just went to Liang's house a few days ago, but I didn't expect to turn my face now!

Now it's time for extreme danger, Liang Zhonghao directly tore his face, and Lorence Kadoorie couldn't care about anything else, he had to struggle with all his might, and directly questioned Liang Zhonghao: "Mr. Liang, I don't agree with your proposal, the company's current business situation is very good, and I am already studying a new business plan, and I will make changes soon, I believe that no one knows the company better than me, at this time, I suggest that the company remain as stable as possible." ”

At this time, what Lorence Kadoorie thought of was to procrastinate, first try to stabilize Liang Zhonghao and other shareholders, and buy enough time for himself to act.

As for the so-called plan, it is naturally a non-existent thing.

But since the Liang family has decided to sell favors, and they are quite decisive in doing things, they don't need Ji Wei to speak out, Liang Zhonghao directly said with a cold face: "Mr. Kadoorie, you don't have to worry, why don't you listen to everyone's opinions?"

Ji Wei also said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Kadoorie, the company belongs to all shareholders, and in terms of operation and management, it still has to be democratic, and listen to everyone's opinions." ”

"Whether you want to re-elect the board of directors, don't you just vote, it's a simple matter!"

"You say yes, right?"

In the end, Ji Wei smiled and looked at the others present.

There are two UK shareholders, as well as representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, two Chinese shareholders, and two of the most weightless shareholder representatives representing the public.

Now it is obvious that the gods are fighting, except for the representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, where the other small shareholders dare to say anything, they all smile and dare not speak, each with a lot of worries, thinking about risks and gains and losses in their hearts.

Now that the new second largest shareholder is obviously wearing the same pants as the first largest shareholder, and the combined shareholding ratio of the two parties exceeds 50 percent, it does not matter whether these small shareholders have an opinion or not, or whether they are ready to deal with the situation that may arise next.

After Ji Wei finished speaking, Liang Zhonghao ignored Lorence Kadoorie, and then clapped the board and said: "Mr. Ji is right, agree or not, we will vote!"

After speaking, he ignored the cannibalistic gaze of Lorence Kadoorie, raised his hand and said: "On behalf of the Liang family, I agree to re-elect the board of directors!"

Ji Wei smiled at Rorenz Kadoorie and raised his hand in the latter's angry gaze: "I also agree to re-elect the board of directors!"

Combined, the shareholding ratio reaches 51.2 percent!

If more than two-thirds of the participants in this general meeting of shareholders participate, the voting is naturally valid.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, several small shareholders looked at each other and slowly raised their hands.

Seeing this, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank smiled helplessly: "It seems that it doesn't matter if I vote or not, I want to say that I am satisfied with Mr. Rorenz Kadoorie's operation, but I also have expectations for Mr. Liang's proposal to change the business model, this is a choice problem, anyway, Standard Chartered Bank does not interfere in the operation, only sit and wait for dividends, therefore, I choose to abstain!"

Although the representative of Standard Chartered Bank abstained, compared to the others who agreed, the abstention of Standard Chartered Bank was already commendable, so it made Roland Kadoorie feel a little comforted and even a little grateful.

Lorence Kadoorie also understands Standard Chartered Bank's choice, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, the best choice is to support the majority shareholder and the second shareholder, and it is the most unwise to choose against, and choosing to abstain is also very face-saving for him.

"Okay, let's start counting the votes!"

Although Liang Zhonghao is not the chairman of the board of directors, he is the chairman of the board of supervisors, which supervises the board of directors, is elected by the general meeting of shareholders, and is responsible to the general meeting of shareholders.

Soon, according to the proportion of shareholdings of the people, it was quickly counted.

68.2% of the votes were cast in favor of a re-election of the Board of Directors, and the proposal passed!

Liang Zhonghao immediately clapped his hand and said: "The number of votes in favor accounts for 68.2%, the proposal is passed, and from now on, the previous board of directors will be dissolved and the board of directors will be re-elected!"

"According to the company's articles of association, for every five percent of the shares, one board seat will be automatically obtained, because my Liang family has six board seats, and the previous six directors will remain unchanged for the time being. ”

Ji Wei said loudly at this time: "Our shareholding ratio exceeds 20%, and we have obtained four seats on the board, and I will recommend the specific personnel later, and the voting rights are currently unified in my hands." ”

Except for the equity of Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei, even if the equity of other people is used in a centralized manner, they can only have a maximum of nine board seats, which is still less than two.

Obviously, the board of directors, which has not yet been completely elected, is also controlled by Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei.

A similar scene happened again.

It's just not going to be played.

Roland Kadoorie understood the situation, gave up his fearless struggle, and sat on his stool with a blank face, watching what he thought was a ridiculous farce.

Next, Liang Zhonghao continued to advance, and the shareholders present with seats on the board of directors voted again, and more than half of the board of directors voted to approve Liang Zhonghao's proposal to propose Ji Wei as the new chairman of the board of directors.

In less than an hour, the chairmanship of the board of directors was transferred from Rorenz Kadoorie to Ji Wei.

From this moment on, Lorence Kadoorie officially lost control of the Shanghai Hotel Group.

When the meeting ended, the other minority shareholders left the meeting first, and only Liang Zhonghao, Ji Wei and Lorence Kadoorie were left in the room.

Rorenz Kadoorie looked at the two of them mockingly, and said with a sneer: "What, do you have any other plans for me?"

Ji Wei said with a smile: "Mr. Kadoorie, you can't say that, in fact, I just have a proposal, I want you to sell me the equity of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group in your hands." ”
