Wei Li was already preparing to leave, and after hearing Xu Zhi's proposal, he immediately asked, "Since Xu Sheng has a proposal, why didn't he submit it to the board of directors earlier?"

Xu Zhi snorted coldly: "What, do I still need to report to you?"

Wei Li said: "As a major shareholder, Xu Sheng naturally does not need to report to me, but when the board of directors is convened, many directors need to know what is going on in advance, otherwise everything will be voted on the spot, and there is not enough time to understand, and it is easy to have problems." ”

"Really?" Xu Zhi said: "Then why didn't I know in advance about such a big matter of Xinong Group's financing last time." ”

Wei Li smiled: "That time was just a special situation, Xu Sheng hadn't participated in the board of directors a few times before that, I thought Xu Sheng was busy with his own career and didn't care about Hehuang?"

"It's my business if I don't care, but I have to know what I should know. Xu Zhi said: "Don't talk nonsense, so as not to delay everyone's time, my next proposal is that I think that although Hutchison has made a profit, the main reason is that the current land price in Xiangjiang has increased significantly, if this factor is deducted, Hutchison's own business has not turned into a profit, so I think Hutchison should change to a big class!"

"Xu Zhi, you ......" Wei Li was furious, even the former HSBC Shen Bi, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to veto his credit to Hutchison in person, let alone propose to remove himself in front of the board of directors and himself, so he said coldly: "Hutchison was saved by me at the beginning, what's the matter, is it now going to unload the mill and kill the donkey?"

Xu Zhidao: "Wei Li, you have always thought that you have saved Hutchison, so let me ask you a few questions."

First, you took over Hutchison in 1975, and in '76 Hutchison made a profit of HK$106 million, and turned a profit in the first year, but did you also sell more than 180 branches and cash out more than HK$300 million? Is your HK$106 million a real profit from the company's business?

Second, has Hutchison's profits in recent years mainly come from real estate? This is not anyone's credit at all, but the sharp rise in land prices, you are just taking advantage of the trend to develop real estate, right or not?

Thirdly, the company has received a total of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in low-interest loans from HSBC in recent years, and under such preferential circumstances, Hutchison's profit margin is still so low, do you dare to say that this is your own credit?"

"You're talking nonsense. Wei Li jumped to his feet angrily, but what Xu Zhi said was also true, so he couldn't go back for a while.

"That's it. Xu Zhi continued to splash dirty water, although these are actually facts, but Wei Li does have his own contribution to Hutchison, but now that the two sides have torn their faces, of course, they have to splash more and more black, otherwise he doesn't want to fall into an endless struggle for power in the future.

Wei Li glanced at all the people, and also understood, and said: "So, you have been preparing for today's scene a long time ago? John, Michael, what benefits have you gotten to betray me?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled, "Wei Li, do you know why you lost?"

Wei Li snorted coldly and did not speak.

Xu Zhidao: "Your biggest problem is to confuse Hutchison's resources with your resources, you are now Hutchison's Taipan, and you can promise that their benefits also come from the position of Hutchison's Taipan." ”

After speaking, Xu Zhi said to the people on the board of directors: "Now vote to abolish Wei Li's Taipan position, please raise your hand if you agree!"

John and Michael and others did not hesitate, and immediately raised their hands, and the rest of them naturally went without saying the same, Li Jiacheng and Pu Weishi also raised their hands under the gaze of everyone.

Xu Zhi smiled and said to Wei Li: "Now you are no longer the big class of Hutchison, although I don't know what you promised, but can you still take it out now?"

But I can, because I'm the majority shareholder, and now I have the final say!"

Wei Li's face turned pale, but he was quickly relieved and said, "Okay, since I lost, I will admit defeat, but don't think about it with Huang!"

"Yes, are you talking about the management who signed a joint advance and retreat agreement with you?" Xu Zhi shook his head and reminded: "They were able to listen to you because you were a senior class of Hutchison at that time, or they thought that you could keep this position, and now you are nothing, why do you think they will listen to you?"

Taking a step back, there are hundreds of high-level cadres in Hutchison, and these people can get high salaries in Hutchison, and if they leave with you, what can you give them? They don't need to support their families?

Even if they are really gone, Hutchison is indeed passive, but this evil deed will follow them for the rest of their lives, as long as I say a word, no company in Xiangjiang will tolerate them, including the Jardine Group. ”

The defeat of the fire is actually similar to nuclear deterrence, Xu Zhi is reluctant to take over a chaotic Hutchison, but Wei Li actually has his own weaknesses, he is not capable of providing these people with the treatment that Hutchison can give, Richard has already taken refuge in him, naturally will stabilize these employees, as long as Xu Zhi's knife is sure not to cut these people, he can stabilize the morale of the army.

"Very well, Richard, let's go!" Wei Li's face turned pale, and he turned his head to leave.

As soon as he took a few steps, he found that Richard did not move, and immediately became angry, but remembered Xu Zhi's words before, calmed down and said: "I am ready to start my own business, if you follow me can get shares, it will definitely be more promising than staying here." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "No need, Mr. Richard will be the next Hehuang Taipan, and you don't have to worry about his future." ”

"I see. Wei Li also understood, and said: "The Chinese are really right, good birds choose trees to perch!"

Xu Zhi asked: "Wei Li, I'm curious, I promised you to let you continue to serve as the Hehuang Daban, why did you do this kind of thing in the opposite direction, did some people give you some benefits?"

After speaking, Xu Zhi glanced at Li Jiacheng with a smile, but the expression on Comrade Li's face did not change, it seemed that he was just watching a play.

Wei Li said: "There is no reason, originally I still believed in your promise, but then you bought Changjiang Industrial at a high price, I knew that your acquisition of Hutchison was definitely not for investment, in this case, I might as well fight it!"

"I see!" Xu Zhi also understood that although the purpose of his high-priced acquisition of Cheung Kong Industrial was to force Li Jiacheng to return to defense, outsiders also saw that Xu Zhi was determined to obtain Hutchison, and Wei Li naturally knew that Xu Zhi could not be only a shareholder.

Xu Zhi said: "Wei Li, you are also a capable person, but it is not suitable for the current Hutchison, if you really leave and want to start a business, Hutchison can invest in shares, this is only a strategic investment, will not compete for equity, you can rest assured." ”

"No need. Wei Li directly refused: "The business I choose in the future has nothing to do with Hutchison." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "Yes, but Wei Li, since it has reached this point, why take responsibility for others?"

"No, this matter was just my own doing!" Wei Li said and left without looking back.

Seeing that Wei Li refused to say who was behind him, Xu Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said to everyone with a smile: "Then everyone also knows that Mr. Richard will be the next senior class of Hutchison, everyone has no problem, right?"

"No problem. So everyone answered.
