At ten o'clock in the morning, Chu Mingzhu sat alone in the central conference room of the office building of the Chu branch in the city, and in front of her was a huge electronic screen for video conferencing.
Chu Mingzhu personally preached the main points of the report to the directors, and then it was time for the directors to express their opinions.
For a well-known family business like the Chu family, which has an absolute controlling proportion in the board of directors, and Chu Qiaonian, as the chairman, and Chu Mingzhu, as the executive president, have completely unanimous opinions, it is not too difficult to really decide to pass a certain proposal.
Concealing the identity of the shareholding is not uncommon in the business world, but like Chu Qiaonian's concerns, at least half of the directors have raised objections to Chu's shareholding ratio.
The reason Chu Mingzhu used to persuade Chu Qiaonian could not convince these directors in the same way, in fact, the reason Chu Qiaonian agreed to was indeed not the reason Chu Mingzhu proposed.
"The other party has promised that his name will not appear on the list of shareholders, and the Chu family will have the right to speak in an absolute controlling position.
The directors still had a solemn look on their faces.Where in this world could there be such a pie in the sky.The key is that this super big pie is still falling on their heads.In their minds.This must be some kind of private deal between the other party and the Chu father and daughter.
Seeing the suspicion on the directors' faces, Chu Mingzhu didn't want this matter to have too many extraneous complications, let alone her father to come out and put pressure on the directors in this matter, so she continued to explain:
"Another important reason why I do this is that after the acquisition of Mingyao, I will promote the cooperation between Mingyao and Tianrui.Everyone knows that behind Tianrui, one is Qiu Rui International, and the other is Yuntian.The acquisition of Mingyao can indeed allow us to enter the two emerging and long-term development fields of software and high-tech materials research and development as quickly as possible.But what I value more is that we can establish a friendly cooperative relationship with these two groups at the same time through the cooperation between Mingyao and Tianrui.So I don't think we need to occupy a controlling position as we used to in terms of shareholding ratio.”
Tianrui Company is a joint-stock company specializing in the research and development of high-tech materials established by Yuntian Group and Qiurui International with 50% investment each last year.
"Mingzhu, if you do what you say, we need to ensure that the Chu clan will have a controlling position in Mingyao in the future. An older director still stands by his views.
The other directors nodded.
Although this matter is indeed of great benefit to the Chu family, in the final analysis, this matter is still a private agreement between her and Xiao Tian.
Chu Mingzhu can neither tell the truth about Blue Leaf Capital, nor can she say that Blue Leaf Capital itself is Chairman Yuntian's own, so there will be no problem of poor cooperation between Mingyao and Tianrui after the successful acquisition.
"If there is a serious situation in the future where Chu's decision-making is unfavorable because of the shareholding ratio, I, as the proposer of this proposal, will take all the responsibilities and take the initiative to submit my resignation to the board of directors.
Chu Qiaonian didn't expect his daughter to make such an absolute guarantee.He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and all kinds of situations are changing rapidly, so there will be a saying and practice of "the king's life will not be affected outside".
She did this as if she had made a military order in front of the directors, and the term of this military order was long-term, as long as Chu's shareholding in Mingyao did not reach the level of control, then a series of unfavorable decisions caused by this would be her responsibility.
Daughter does not look like the rational and calm mall killer on weekdays anymore.Chu Qiaonian sighed in his heart.I couldn't help but feel more and more sorry for my daughter.
Seeing such a scene, a director who was closest to the Chu family's father and daughter immediately came out and made a round: "Mingzhu, where do you want to say so seriously, you have not been the president for a year or two, we have trust in the chairman and you, and this matter obviously has more advantages than disadvantages for the Chu family.
The chairman and the president of the board of directors were unanimous, and the president made such a guarantee, and some people took the lead. What else do you have to say? So, the proposal passed smoothly.
As soon as the board meeting ended, she personally called the relevant senior management of the group, and held an emergency executive meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the topic was kept confidential for the time being.
Although the Board of Directors has passed the resolution, the implementation is at the senior level, and she herself is the highest executor of the Board resolution. The CEO of the Group knows the mentality of the executor best.
So in this matter, she didn't want to simply press these executives with board resolutions, this is also her usual style, she obtained the actual executive power of the Chu family at such a young age, and it was not just because she was Chu Qiaonian's daughter, this shining identity, although this was the first reason.
She didn't even go back to the hotel, she stayed in the office and continued to supplement and refine the report she had drafted last night, because the focus of the report to the directors and the executives must be different.
It wasn't until the meeting time was almost up that she closed her laptop tiredly, then rubbed the acupuncture points around her eyes and stiff shoulders, picked up her laptop and walked directly into the conference room.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the same conference room is also a remote network video conference, the difference is that the meeting is attended by the relevant executives involved in the plan, including three group vice presidents, group financial director, group chief legal counsel, group human resources director and general manager of major project business department.
At the beginning of the meeting, Chu Mingzhu first announced the absolute confidentiality requirements of the meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I want to say that all the contents of this meeting are strictly confidential, and if anyone mentions any of the contents of today's meeting to anyone other than anyone in this room, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Chu clan will be severely punished according to the highest level of confidentiality."
Chu Mingzhu's words made the atmosphere in the conference room instantly become solemn.
Then Chu Mingzhu told everyone about the topic of this meeting.In order to prevent the content of the meeting from leaking.Chu Mingzhu was the same as the temporary board meeting in the morning.There was no use for any venue service personnel.She personally picked up the projector and pressed it remotely.The light of the projector turned on.The report she personally drafted was projected on the projection cloth.
"Apologize, because the time is too urgent, I haven't had time to make the report into a PPT, but I chose a relatively large font size.
Chu Mingzhu explained the specific content of the plan while playing the PPT, and shared the file with the executives on the spot, so that they could read it independently on what they were interested in and what they wanted to focus on.
As soon as they heard the name of Mingyao Group, the vice president surnamed Lu immediately mentioned: "How did I hear the news that this Mingyao has been a little weird recently, and it seems that he wants to fight Yuntian's idea. However, this is just gossip, and I haven't investigated it carefully.
"Then this Mingyao is quite fat." Another vice president surnamed Gao smiled.
"If the news is true, is it necessary for our Chu clan to go on this trip to the troubled water at this time? This is said by the only general manager at the division level, and in such a meeting where the vast majority of the group level executives are at the division level, the division level executives are slightly lower by half a level.
As soon as these words came out, no one dared to answer, because the president of their family was a beautiful woman, and both of them were unmarried young talents on Yuntian's side, whether they were the chairman or the president.
Chu Mingzhu listened expressionlessly, did not interrupt, and did not say anything.
After the initial gag, the executives on the other side of the meeting wisely shut their mouths and began to look intently at the papers on their laptops, with solemn and thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Chu Mingzhu knew that this was not a trivial matter, and he needed to give everyone time to think, so he didn't rush it.
The room was unusually quiet, all the executives were thinking, no one was going to speak first, the silence lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally an old voice broke the silence in the room.
"Mr. Chu, let me say a few words."
It was one of the three vice presidents who spoke loudly.He was a veteran of the Chu clan.Even Chu Mingzhu had to call him uncle.
"Uncle Wang, please speak." Chu Mingzhu politely made a gesture of invitation, signaling that he could speak.
Uncle Wang cleared his throat and said, "My opinion is that this matter needs to be cautious and cautious.First, we have never been involved in the research and development of software and high-tech materials.Second, I have just read the financial analysis report drafted by Mr. Chu. The amount of capital invested in this project is too large.The dispatch of tens of billions of funds is really not a trivial matter.
Third, just now Mr. Lu mentioned that this Mingyao may be interested in acquiring Yuntian.Even if we don't know the specific strength of Yuntian, we know that it is definitely a behemoth.Such a favored big thing The other party dares to open his mouth to eat.It can be seen that the other party will never be what we have just seen.If we don't even know the true identity and strength of the enemy.Then how can this battle be fought."
