Chapter 500: The Same Result
"Now that all shareholders have agreed to my development plan for Sohu this year, this agenda is over. Today's general meeting of shareholders has a total of three agendas, and the board meeting will be held at 2 p.m., and I hope that all shareholders who are directors of the company can be present in time. Seeing that the shareholders below have agreed to the annual development plan they have formulated for Sohu, Zeng Fuhu said to the shareholders below.
After finishing speaking, Zeng Fuhu turned off the computer and projector and walked out of the conference room. When the shareholders saw that Zeng Fuhu was gone, they all leaned towards Mr. Smith. As the representative of the majority shareholder in the company, the afternoon board Smith was definitely going to attend. After all, the majority shareholders are not those dispensable minority shareholders, and it is impossible for dispensable minority shareholders to have a seat on the board of directors of the company, but the majority shareholders certainly have.
After leaving the conference room, Zeng Fuhu went straight back to his office. And what happened during the shareholders' meeting in the conference room has basically spread throughout the company. The whole company knew that most shareholders asked Zeng Fuhu to resign as the company's president, and Zeng Fuhu agreed. The entire company was discussing this matter, but Zeng Fuhu was sitting in his office drinking tea.
"Tuk tuk. It didn't take long for the door of Zeng Fuhu's office to knock.
Then Zeng Fuhu, who was sitting on the chair, saw Gu Yongqiang angrily barging in from outside: "Mr. Zeng, they are all like this, do you still have the leisure to drink tea here?"
Zeng Fuhu replied with a smile: "Things are already like this, why don't I drink tea? I am as anxious as you? What's the use of that? It's not that I am embarrassed by myself." It's not worth it to be angry with your body, and besides, this is the shareholders' meeting, and the board meeting. The board meeting is the meeting that decides the final result, the general meeting of shareholders, hehe. ”
Zeng Fuhu's expression was a little disdainful, the plan had been carried out to this point, and there was nothing to endure for him. It's clear who is friends and who is enemies. Although he was very disappointed that so many shareholders were all bought, at the same time, Zeng Fuhu's heart was also happy.
In this way, Zeng Fuhu will not feel any guilt about the next plan of those shareholders. After all, when he first saw Zhang Siyuan's plan, Zeng Fuhu still felt that some of the plans in that plan were cruel to the company's shareholders. Judging from the current situation, Zeng Fuhu felt that it was a little lighter.
Hearing Zeng Fuhu say this, Gu Yongqiang, who was originally a little emotional, asked Zeng Fuhu solemnly: "Are you sure about the board meeting that afternoon?"
Zeng Fuhu stood up from the office chair, walked to Gu Yongqiang's side, and patted Gu Yongqiang on the shoulder: "Old Gu, there are just the two of us here, so I won't tell you anything." By the end of the afternoon board meeting, those shareholders will know how wrong they were. Don't look at their cheerfulness now, they are just grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump in a few days. ”
"Really?" asked Gu Yongqiang with some skepticism.
After all, so many things have happened in Sohu during this time, and the whole company doesn't know how many things are happening. As the company's chief operating officer, he has certainly been wooed. It's just that because of Zhang Siyuan's kindness, Gu Yongqiang wanted to go to Times Technology to join Zhang Siyuan after Zhang Siyuan withdrew from Sohu.
Those who wooed him saw that they couldn't win him over, and they also threatened that if he didn't want to follow them, his position in the company might not be guaranteed at that time. But Gu Yongqiang didn't care at all, if he really waited for the shareholders' meeting and the board meeting, what impact would it have on him, then he would go directly to Times Technology to join Zhang Siyuan.
It has to be said that the butterfly effect is powerful. Because of Zhang Siyuan's appearance, many things have changed. Some are subtle, some are artificial. Just like Gu Yongqiang and Zhou Fanyun. According to the historical trajectory, they all left Sohu not long after entering Sohu and started their own businesses.
But under Zhang Siyuan's intervention, they all gathered around Zhang Siyuan. The grand blueprint that Zhang Siyuan showed them completely attracted their attention. So they didn't have the heart to think about anything else at all, they just wanted to make the big cake that Zhang Siyuan drew in their hearts. This also makes the future era of science and technology, with fewer enemies and more important cornerstones.
Zeng Fuhu smiled: "What am I lying to you for, you will know after the board meeting." Anyway, when the time comes, you will be in a huge surprise. ”
Gu Yongqiang saw Zeng Fuhu say this, and didn't say anything more. Anyway, in Sohu, he and Zeng Fuhu are of the same faction. They were all promoted by Zhang Siyuan after he came to Sohu, and they all had a strong Zhang label. According to the reason, when the new boss comes to power, those of them with the label of a boss should be purged as soon as possible, just like when Zhang Siyuan asked Zeng Fuhu to kill those people in Zhang Yangchao.
But what puzzled Gu Yongqiang was that the new boss did not attack any of them after he came to power. It's just that some shareholders have been wooing and warning them secretly, and Smith, the spokesperson of the new boss, is completely like a transparent person in the company, and he doesn't care about anything. completely handed over the company to Zeng Fuhu for management, which was more thorough than Zhang Siyuan at the beginning.
Now that Zeng Fuhu has said so, Gu Yongqiang didn't bother anymore, and went back to his office after saying hello to Zeng Fuhu. As a monk for a day, he is still the chief operating officer of Sohu, so he naturally wants to do his job well. Even if it may not be today, then it must be done.
Seeing Gu Yongqiang leave his office, Zeng Fuhu smiled, continued to return to his seat, and turned on the computer on the desk to see if there was any interesting news. The plan is almost over, and his mission is almost over, so there is no need to live a sad life like now.
The time soon came in the afternoon, and Zeng Fuhu came to the conference room early to wait for the arrival of several directors. Compared to the morning general meeting, the afternoon board meeting was much smaller.
In addition to Mr. Smith, there are four directors. It can be said that these four directors are the representatives of the remaining minority shareholders of Sohu. It's just that compared to Smith, the weight of the four of them combined is not as heavy as Smith alone.
After a simple speech, Zeng Fuhu said to the directors below: "Directors, a lot of things have happened in our company recently, and I believe everyone knows it very well. Today's board meeting was also decided for the company's future development direction. At the morning shareholders' meeting, everyone was basically there, and we won't talk about some things in the morning, let's talk about other things first. ”
"Hurry up, everyone's time is busy. It's not like you, you're going to be fine right away. In the morning, the shareholders' meeting took the lead in saying to the shareholder who had attacked Zeng Fuhu.
He is the largest minority shareholder of all the shareholders and is also a director of the company. At this time, he only wanted to end the meeting as soon as possible and let Zeng Fuhu get out, so that he could sell his shares as soon as possible. Now Sohu has been delisted, and the market value at the time of delisting has been a mess. If there is any more accidents, then no one will take over the shares in his hands.
Something happened in his family recently, and he was in a hurry to use the money. Otherwise, since Zhang Yangchao was here, he was very optimistic about Sohu, and he would not be willing to sell his shares. After all, no matter who is the chairman, as long as Sohu can develop steadily, the annual shareholder dividend will definitely give him a large amount of income.
But now he is short of money, and with so many things that have happened in Sohu recently, he has no confidence in Sohu. Otherwise, it's still okay to endure it, but the purchase price quoted when I came into contact with Ding Sanshi at the beginning has now shrunk by half. He was really afraid that if it dragged on any longer, the other party would push the price down.
At this time, he already regretted it very much, when Ding Sanshi and Lin Yi looked for him at the same time, he wanted to wait for the price and sell. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi directly refused to bird him, Ding Sanshi was unwilling to pay so much money after no one competed, so he had no choice but to lower the price to get Ding Sanshi to agree. But I didn't expect another accident in the middle, Sohu was delisted, and Ding Sanshi immediately tore up the agreement. They want to drive Zeng Fuhu out of Sohu before they are willing to take over their shares.
Zeng Fuhu heard the shareholder say this, and smiled: "Since Director Zhu is so anxious, then let's not talk about anything else, let's start with the appointment of the company's authority." ”
"What is there to say, isn't it over in the morning? You resign and resign, and the company will make other arrangements for the position of president. The shareholder surnamed Zhu said.
"Yes, I'm talking about the appointment of a new president. Director Zhu, don't be so anxious. This position of president must be discussed carefully, otherwise there will be any problems at that time, but it will not be responsible for the entire board of directors and all shareholders. Zeng Fuhu was not like in the morning at this time, he didn't speak at what others said, but began to be stronger.
Ignoring Director Zhu, who was so angry because of his words, Zeng Fuhu continued: "On behalf of the company's second largest shareholder, I recommend Mr. Zeng Fuhu, that is, I take over the position of president of Sohu. ”
"What! Zeng Fuhu, you're afraid you're joking, right? You didn't wake up from a dream and still want to continue to be the president? It was confirmed that you would step down and leave in the morning, and you want to continue at this time?" Director Zhu sneered directly.
Zeng Fuhu showed a smile on his face: "I don't bother Director Zhu about this, I just put forward the suggestion of the vice chairman I represent." As for whether I can become the president of the company, it depends on everyone's vote. ”
"I disagree. After Director Zhu finished speaking, he directly said three words of disagreement.
Then the other three directors agreed and disagreed, and all eyes turned to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith represents the Chairman. Even if he really didn't care about anything at the morning shareholders' meeting, he was now the board of directors. If he wanted to, then they really weren't as good as Smith.
Smith, who was sitting at the top of the room, watched the people in the conference room staring at him, and opened his mouth to say a few words, and then the interpreter said: "Mr. Smith said that you have your meeting, and he doesn't care about anything as he did in the morning." ”
Hearing the translator's words, Director Zhu suddenly showed a smile on his face. According to this way, it is a sure thing that Zeng Fuhu was swept out of the house by Sohu. Because the other four directors represent a smaller shareholder with more shares than the company's second largest shareholder, their individual voting rights are not as large as the second largest shareholder, but they together exceed the second largest shareholder.
Director Zhu said proudly to Zeng Fuhu: "Zeng Fuhu, what else do you have to say now?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just expressing his opinion for the vice chairman, and I don't have any ideas myself. Now that the position of president is vacant, the next thing we need to discuss is whether other positions need to be adjusted. Zeng Fuhu said expressionlessly.
Zeng Fuhu had already prepared for Smith's reaction. After all, it is no different from the plan, the happier Director Zhu and the others laugh at this time, the more depressed they will be after a while.
When Director Zhu heard Zeng Fuhu's words, he hurriedly said: "Of course, it needs to be adjusted, and the managers in many positions in the company are purely occupying their seats and not doing things. I suggest that all those who eat and drink and wait for death be replaced, and those who can afford it go up. ”
Zeng Fuhu showed a mocking smile on his face: "Then, Director Zhu, which people do you think occupy a position in your mouth and don't do things, and which ones are capable but can't get up?"
Director Zhu said proudly: "Of course, it is Gu Yongqiang, as the company's chief operating officer, he has not made much contribution to the company. Instead, it wastes the company's resources all day long, and this kind of person still stays in the company to do something. ”
How could Director Zhu be upset at this time, when Zhang Siyuan was there, everything in the company was firmly controlled by Zhang Siyuan's family. The current major shareholder doesn't care about anything like a second fool, and the shares of the second shareholder are not as many as the shares of these people combined, so they can't fight them at all. Whether it's the board of directors or the shareholders' meeting, they have the final say.
Zeng Fuhu didn't show any angry expression, but nodded: "Since Director Zhu said so, what about your opinions on other directors?" I think I asked in vain, I should know your answer. Okay, that's it. Director Zhu, is there anything else?"
Seeing Zeng Fuhu's appearance as if he was resigned to his fate, Director Zhu said with a smile: "Of course there are, but those can be talked about later, and the most important thing is these two positions." Zeng Fuhu, what else do you have to say, today's board of directors won't be limited to these universities, right?"
"Of course, it's more than that, but I don't think there's any need to talk about the rest of the story. After all, you will definitely oppose what I bring up, so it is better not to waste time. That's all for today's meeting, and I'll have the notice of the board sent to me in a moment. Zeng Fuhu said helplessly.
Director Zhu was even happier, Zeng Fuhu was convinced. Since Zeng Fuhu said that there was nothing to do, then they waited for Zeng Fuhu and Gu Yongqiang to sweep out of the company. What is the representative of the second largest shareholder, and when the shares in their hands are transferred, Ding Sanshi will be the second largest shareholder of the company.
In the case where Smith doesn't care about the company's affairs, it is the second largest shareholder who has the final say. At that time, even if Zeng Fuhu is still in the company, except for a directorship, he can't interfere in other things of the company at all, and it's not just what Ding Sanshi does.
Zeng Fuhu's expression was very dull at this moment, and finally sighed and said, "Then today's board meeting is here, let's dismiss it now." ”
The decision of the board meeting was directly sent to the mailbox of the company's main management personnel after Zeng Fuhu returned to the office, which immediately caused an uproar. Zeng Fuhu, who was sitting in the office, sat there drinking tea as he had done in the morning, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Within five minutes of the email, Gu Yongqiang broke into Zeng Fuhu's office. This time he didn't even knock on the door, Gu Yongqiang said angrily to Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, this is the surprise you said to me? The two of us were swept out of the house? This is indeed a surprise, a big surprise!"
"Old Gu, don't get excited. Sit down first, I'm telling you about the end of the board meeting, but I didn't say which board meeting ended? Director Zhu, have those people left?" Zeng Fuhu saw that Gu Yongqiang was so excited, and hurriedly asked.
Gu Yongqiang couldn't control his emotions at this time: "How do I know if they leave or not, what does it matter to me whether they leave or not! No matter what you do, I will go back to pack my things, and I will call Mr. Zhang at night." ”
After finishing speaking, Gu Yongqiang walked out of Zeng Fuhu's company, and slammed the door hard when he went out. Zeng Fuhu shook his head with a wry smile, and called the secretary outside in: "Help me watch Director Zhu if they are gone, forget if they don't leave." If they're gone, call them in half an hour from the time they're gone and ask them to come back. ”
The secretary looked at Zeng Fuhu with some embarrassment, Zeng Fuhu is no longer the president of Sohu, everyone knows about it. Although what Zeng Fuhu asked her to do now is not a big deal, it is related to the directors, so it is not a small matter. After all, she is a little secretary, how can those directors bird her. She was Zeng Fuhu's secretary before, and she informed those directors that those directors would still take care of her, but now Zeng Fuhu has been swept out of the house, and she herself is unable to protect herself, she doesn't know what to do, and whether those directors answer her phone is a problem.
Zeng Fuhu looked at the secretary's appearance and suddenly became serious: "I am still the president of Sohu now, and I will not be tomorrow." Remember what I said, and call me half an hour after they left to call them back. If they ask why, they say I let it. ”
The secretary looked at Zeng Fuhu as if he was a little angry, and hurriedly nodded in agreement. Thinking about calling those directors for a while, she felt a headache. This is really not an easy job, Zeng Fuhu doesn't even have a reason, so he wants to call those directors back, it's just embarrassing.
