Chapter 304 - General Meeting of Shareholders II
The simple buffet luncheon made the people who had never known each other quickly warmed up, and also let the shareholders who came to attend the shareholders' meeting quickly have an understanding of Lingyun Company and the company's staff.
Every shareholder invariably turned their attention to Mr. Lu in the mouth of the staff, the foreign vice president from across the ocean.
They also became interested, why didn't the general manager of Lingyun Company show up for a long time? Is she going to impress all shareholders or keep it a mystery?
The shareholders moved closer to the deputy general manager Lu Kaiwen one after another, and threw out their sharpness and curiosity.
The moment Ning Yu, who had arranged the course of the afternoon meeting, stepped into the No. 2 restaurant, he heard the voice of his name being called.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ning Yu, assistant to the general manager of Lingyun Company, and he is the plenipotentiary representative of General Manager Su Qing. The question you just asked me can only be answered by Mr. Ning Yu. I also want to tell you that Mr. Ning Yu also has a special identity, his father is Mr. Ning Feiyang, the founder of Lingyun Company. Mr. Ning Feiyang is the former legal person and general manager of Lingyun Company. The company's prospects and plans that you are concerned about, Mr. Ning Yu is the most qualified to answer. Okay, you can discuss everything with Mr. Ning Yu while you eat. Lu Kaiwen pulled Ning Yu to his side, and he loudly made a sales pitch to the shareholders who gathered around.
Ning Yu was embarrassed, empty-handed, he was surrounded by many shareholders with dinner plates, and he was a little at a loss.
"You bastard, you are evading responsibility by handing over such trouble to this young man named Ning Yu. You're the top management here, and your casual attitude towards shareholders is disappointing. John, who was standing next to Kevin Lu, looked disdainful.
"Really? Don't you think such an opportunity can make Ning Yu impress with shareholders more quickly? Lu Kaiwen's eyes followed the young man who was surrounded by shareholders.
"But what if this young man who has just been promoted makes a bad impression? As a shareholder, I believe in mature managers. I think that's what all shareholders want to do. John also looked in the direction of the young assistant with concern.
"Huh. No one is born a manager. No one is made for the big spectacle. Sudden encounters can temper a person's experience, and I think that's a good thing. No matter whether Ning Yu behaves good or bad, he is being accepted by everyone. That's the best thing to do. There was undoubted resoluteness in Lu Kaiwen's tone.
An elderly gentleman-looking man standing beside Lu Kaiwen groaned thoughtfully.
He is Gu Tiancheng, the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Province F, and he was invited by Lu Kaiwen as a special guest.
"Kevin. You seem to be trying to express something. Looking at the way you look now, I think you intend to hand over the burden of Lingyun Company to this Mr. Ning Yu. Is it? There was scrutiny in President Gu's eyes.
"President Koo. What do you think of him? Isn't it full of energy? Isn't it sunny? Lu Kaiwen responded to the other party with meaningful eyes.
"Sunshine? Ah, a good-looking lad indeed. As for my impression, I still need to observe. Ha ha. Gu Tiancheng laughed lightly, and he took his eyes away from the faces of the young people beside him. He began to take an interest in the young man who was surrounded in the distance.
"Kevin. Is Mr. Ku's meaning true? You...... No, do you have any arrangements with Miss Su Qing? John's disdain was replaced by eagerness and seriousness.
He was no longer interested in the food on his plate.
"Huh...... What would you think if we had an arrangement? Lu Kaiwen asked with a smile. He assumed a casual gesture.
"Kevin, be serious. At this moment, as a major shareholder with 8% of the total shares, I am seriously discussing with you the issue of the company's top management. We care about the development of the company because it is related to our dividends. Our interests are at stake. Miss Su Qing has not appeared until this moment, and you have revealed your plan to have this young man take on a key position, and I have to ask you to seriously consider it. John's tone and expression became more and more intense.
"Alright. Can we sit down and have a good conversation? It is necessary for your two major shareholders to have a consistent attitude before the formal shareholders' meeting in the afternoon. Gu Tiancheng interjected in time.
The three of them sat down at a table.
John's eagerness gradually changed to calm and leisurely at the table. The action of holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other made him have scruples about his demeanor.
Kevin Lu tasted the hotel's exquisite buffet without hurrying. He kept smiling in Ning Yu's direction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not meeting time, and several important topics of the shareholders' meeting were sent to you by email half a month ago. Just wait until the afternoon and we'll have an answer. Please enjoy your meal and take a break. Our schedule will be very tight in the afternoon. Ning Yu finally made his own response after greeting the shareholders around him one by one.
This was more of a perfunctory answer, leaving shareholders with no reason to ask further.
Ning Yu gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and he secretly felt lucky.
"Okay. Then we just want to ask one question, why didn't the general manager of the company show up? Doesn't she attach importance to this shareholders' meeting? After all, this is the first shareholders' meeting, and we don't understand it. One of the shareholders next to me still asked the confusion and voice of the majority of the people.
Ning Yu frowned, he groaned, and his eyes turned to Lu Kaiwen's direction.
Kevin Lu's small gesture of smiling and winking at him made his heart move.
"Did they arrange it on purpose? Is it just for me to face such a scene? Are they doing it for my own good, or are they embarrassing me? I just can't kick the ball back, after all, I'm an employee of the company, and it seems like I should share the burden for them. But ......" Ning Yu began to hesitate in his surging mind.
Interested shareholders are waiting for the young man's answer, and they are also waiting for the embarrassment of the young man. Waiting for the embarrassment of the faceless female general manager.
When Ning Yu saw that Lu Kaiwen was no longer looking at him, Ning Yu began to think in his own way.
"What? Didn't General Manager Su give us an explanation? "The other shareholder finally stopped waiting.
Ning Yu shook his head slightly, he finally had his own decision.
"Nope. Su always has his own arrangements. She will give an account to all shareholders in the way she thinks is most appropriate. The afternoon is the time for the general meeting of shareholders. All we do now is get acquainted with each other. I don't think Mr. Su's attendance at this luncheon is an indispensable procedure for the shareholders' meeting. Ladies and gentlemen, what we should do now is to enjoy the food prepared by the hotel for our valued guests, and whether you are satisfied or not is our primary concern. Shareholders are invited to relax and enjoy the enthusiasm of the company. Ha ha. I'm really hungry. I can't wait. Ning Yu's tone became more and more relaxed, and he even began to stroke his belly.
A burst of laughter rang out, and the surrounding shareholders dispersed.
Kevin Lu can finally turn his attention to the people around him.
"How? He's doing well. Lu Kaiwen couldn't hide his smug tone.
Gu Tiancheng smiled and nodded.
John had a thoughtful expression.
"John. I don't want to discuss it too much. I just want you to believe that all of our choices are for the future of Lingyun Company. Ning Yu is Ning Feiyang's son, and he is the most suitable candidate. He will put Lingyun in the right direction. That's my answer. Lu Kaiwen's face was indifferent, and his tone was also extremely flat.
"Is that enough? Kevin, I've been patiently waiting for your answer, but I feel like you're playing with me. John quickly began to get excited again.
"Huh. It's that you don't understand Chinese culture. Mr. Ku, you should understand what I said, please tell him, what is my answer? If you speak up, he will understand it more deeply. Lu Kaiwen turned to Gu Tiancheng, and he gave the other party a meaningful smile.
Gu Tiancheng also smiled and nodded.
"Okay. Mr. John. Kevin did have the answer. And I agree with him. In China, there is one thing that is most important for a private company. With such a thing, there will be no turmoil in this business, and it will always be on the right track. This thing is ...... Inheritance. This is determined by Chinese culture. Only inheritance can have stability and the culture of enterprise continuity. John, I support Kevin, how about you? Gu Tiancheng cast a smile on the Yankees beside him.
"Legacy? …… Chinese culture is indeed broad and profound, and I seem to understand it...... But ......" John gently swayed his soft blonde hair, and he was lost in thought.
Lu Kaiwen and Gu Tiancheng looked at each other and smiled, they had a tacit understanding at the same time, and at the same time twisted their heads in other directions......
At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the lights on the rostrum of the No. 1 conference hall were lit up, and the soft lights of the entire conference hall instantly turned into bright colors. The whole conference hall instantly presented a beautiful atmosphere and solemnity.
The people sitting in the soft and comfortable seats of the conference hall also admired the environment of the conference hall and admired the low-key luxury of this faction.
Four people sat on the five chairs on the podium. The chair in the middle is empty.
More than 30 social shareholders in the audience, dozens of internal shareholders of Lingyun Company, more than a dozen specially invited guests, and reporters from the media already knew a fact at this moment.
After all, the young female general manager of Lingyun Company still did not appear as she wished.
Excitement and anticipation pervade.
An unusual start that has everyone to look forward to.
The young assistant named Ning Yu stood on the rostrum and presided over it. He began by announcing the opening of the shareholders' meeting.
A round of applause was followed by the second item.
The woman, Shen Fanfei, began to read and verify the shareholders attending the meeting from the shareholders with the lowest shares. Every shareholder whose name is read must stand up and receive applause and attention from everyone.
It is a monotonous and lengthy process. The process is full of seriousness and respect.
After about an hour of reading and applause, it was finally read to a few people on the rostrum.
The blonde Mr. John represents Bank H, which occupies the position of the third largest shareholder with 8%.
All shareholders can finally confirm that this world-renowned international bank has been involved in the stock speculation of Lingyun Company. The confidence of all shareholders exploded at once.
John was pleased and proud of the sensation he had caused.
The man named Kevin Lu occupies the position of second shareholder with 11% of the shares, and his position is expected by everyone. The humble stock of Lingyun Company is impossible to cause shocks without a market maker.
Kevin Lu's strength has also satisfied all shareholders.
Everyone is starting to look forward to the first shareholder. Everyone began to wait with bated breath for the name of the first shareholder, waiting for the vacant seat on the rostrum.
Ms. Su Qing is currently the general manager of Lingyun Company. 13% of the shares...... Sorry, Ms. Su Qing did not attend the shareholders' meeting for some reason, and the organizing committee of the conference has not been able to contact Ms. Su Qing. Shen Fanfei's voice kept hesitating and flickering.
There was an uproar accompanied by a buzzing chatter.
Everyone finally waited for the expected change, and the atmosphere in the conference hall was ignited.
"Quiet, please be quiet. Ms. Su Qing will be there. We just can't get in touch for the time being. This small change will not affect the course of our next meeting. As the host, Ning Yu transmitted his voice through the microphone.
The venue was quiet for a moment, and then it entered a heated atmosphere again.
Ning Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he naturally set his eyes on Lu Kaiwen who was a few meters away.
Kevin Lu stood up, and he walked to the host's microphone.
The venue fell silent. In the eerie sudden silence, everyone turned their eyes to the young foreign shareholders moving on the podium.
There is a new expectation to be made. Looking forward to new changes, looking forward to new excitement and excitement.
Kevin Lu stood in front of the microphone, and he leaned closer to the microphone.
"I would like to inform all shareholders that Ms. Su Qing will not attend this shareholders' meeting." Kevin Lu's voice was transmitted through microphones in every corner of the conference hall.
The strange silence was broken in an instant, and the audience remembered the sound of discussion one after another.
Kevin Lu stood in front of the microphone and waited.
"Shareholders, I am entrusted by Ms. Su Qing to ,......" Lu Kaiwen's voice sounded again, and the microphone drummed up his voice.
Once again, there was silence. Once again, everyone has anticipation.
"I have been entrusted by Ms. Su Qing to announce her important decision here. This is also an important reason why she does not attend the general meeting. Lu Kevin's voice once again paused in everyone's expectations.
The conference hall fell completely silent. It was so quiet that we could hear each other's breathing.
Ms. Su Qing decided to transfer all her shares. This is the transfer she signed. Please ask the organizing committee of the conference to identify. Lu Kaiwen raised a document in his hand. He took a few steps and handed the document to Shen Fanfei's hand.
When Kevin Lu walked back to the microphone, everyone's eyes were hot.
Who is the new owner of the 13% stake? Who will be which lucky one? Everyone is waiting for answers.
"Ms. Su Qing signed the free transfer letter, and the transferee is ...... Mr. Ning Yu. Ms. Su Qing also resigned from the position of general manager of Lingyun Company, and she recommended Mr. Ning Yu to be the general manager of Lingyun Company. Let us congratulate Mr. Ning Yu with warm applause. Kevin Lu slowly spat out the answer. His slow answer was followed by his sudden applause.
The applause that echoed the audience was remembered, followed by applause from the audience, and soon, the whole conference hall burst into warm applause.
The applause continued to set off the fierce atmosphere and the rapid and fast Gao chao.
In the applause, Lu Kaiwen stood beside Ning Yu, and the latter's body showed stiffness.
"Go and thank the shareholders." Kevin Lu reminded softly.
Ning Yu didn't react.
Lu Kaiwen pulled Ning Yu's clothes.
"Huh? ......" Ning Yu reacted, he was at a loss.
"Go and thank the shareholders. Then sit down in the position where Su Qing should have been sitting. You are now the largest shareholder of the company. Just go. Kevin Lu looked at the audience, and he urged.
“…… No. Why did I accept her arrangement? I'm not at my mercy. Ning Yu almost gritted his teeth and resisted the trance and complexity of this moment.
"You have to accept it. Because you are Ning Feiyang's son. Because Su Qing didn't give you a chance to refuse at all. If you refuse, today's shareholders' meeting of Lingyun Company will become a joke. The company your father created will become a laughing stock. Remember, you have an obligation to uphold the dignity of the company and Ning's. You're a man, and you have to bear it. Go and say thank you, and sit down in that seat. You don't have a choice. ”。 There was coldness in Lu Kaiwen's voice.
Ning Yu's body trembled, and he was struggling in pain.
The applause gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on this place, on the young man's face.
The eyes full of various emotions give young people the greatest baptism in life.
"Don't hesitate. Step out, take on Lingyun Company, and assume the dignity of your fathers. Kevin Lu's voice was extremely hard.
Ning Yu took a step, and he stepped towards the microphone.
When the young man bent down and bowed deeply, the applause rang out again. This time it was almost bursting applause.
All the eyes cast on the young people have filtered out the impurities, and all that remains is expectation and blessings.
The general meeting of shareholders ushered in new hope in the turning point, and ushered in the most beautiful brilliance in the expectation.
Kevin Lu quietly pressed the button of the phone. He held his phone to his lips.
"Listen, this is a round of applause for him, this is an encouragement and wishes for him." Kevin Lu said softly, and he held his phone up in the air.
The applause swirled through the hall and lasted for a long time.
