Chapter 420: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
"Do you want to inform Chairman Wang?"
In the office of the board of directors of Wanke, the vice president who stayed behind asked Song Ling flatteringly, "Mr. Song came to Wanke in person, how can I say that our chairman also has to come to entertain him." Besides, if Mr. Song wants to hold a board meeting, how can you miss the chairman's attendance? ”
The vice president, surnamed Yu, was a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his hair was shiny, and his slightly chubby body was slightly rich. However, what is obviously different from his appearance is that this person has a flexible mind, shrewd and capable, and has served in Wanke for many years, and has developed the ability to speak and do things, which has won Wang Liangxiu's appreciation.
At this time, he knew in his heart that Song Ling's sudden attack must have been a bad person. However, Xia Run Group is the largest shareholder of Wanke, even if the other party has unreasonable actions, he has to pay a smile.
"This is not necessary, according to the company's procedures and the Company Law, the majority shareholder has the right to request a board meeting in an emergency."
Song Ling waved his hand and reprimanded impatiently, "Although the presence of the chairman of the board of directors is indispensable to convene a board meeting, I am holding an emergency board meeting this time, and I do not need the approval of the board of directors." Now you start the meeting process immediately, and I will propose an urgent proposal within half an hour, and call for shareholders who can be contacted to vote. You can also contact Wang Liangxiu now to see if he has time to come over. ”
The vice president surnamed Yu was stunned, and his glasses almost slipped off, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to smile bitterly and order his subordinates to prepare for an emergency meeting, and he just frantically dialed Wang Liangxiu's phone.
It's just that in the guest house of the Yangcheng government, in order to prevent someone from leaking secrets, wireless communication interference facilities have been specially activated today, so that all calls can neither go out nor come in. So no matter how many calls the vice president surnamed Yu made, all that came was a mechanical answer of "the other party is not in the service area".
"Okay, now I, as the largest shareholder of Wanke, urgently convened a board meeting to vote on the bidding plan of Wanke's management for Hengsheng Group."
As soon as the time came, Song Ling said to the meeting, "Based on my serious disagreement with the resolution of Wanke's management, and Wanke's stubbornness, I convened an emergency board meeting according to Wanke's company procedures and proposed to reject the acquisition plan of Wanke's current board of directors." ”
Because it was an emergency meeting, most of the participants could not be on site, and they could only participate by conference phone.
"Xiarun Group was the first to take a position with 18.1% of the shares, vetoing this plan of Wanke's management."
At this time, Song Ling behaved particularly strongly, not giving other shareholders any chance to speak at all, and expressed his views bluntly, "Please record my opinions in the minutes of the meeting." Now I invite other shareholders to express their positions! ”
"Wait a minute, everybody."
At this time, the vice president surnamed Yu finally had a chance to speak, and he hurriedly said into the meeting phone, "Shareholders, Chairman Wang has gone to the auction site and can't be contacted for a while. However, on behalf of the management, we support the acquisition of Hengsheng Group and have a good chance of winning. The acquisition of Hengsheng Group has helped our company's business a lot, and I believe you all know about it before this, so I won't say much about it here. I would like to emphasize that the resolution of this emergency shareholders' meeting is legally valid, and I hope that you can carefully cast your vote. ”
There was a moment of silence in the microphone, and it was clear that all parties were weighing.
"I Tianhua Fund owns 0.5% of the equity of Wanke, I think this acquisition is useless for the development of the company, and I firmly oppose the approach of Wanke's management."
But soon a voice that was not fluent in Mandarin sounded, unmistakably expressing its support for Song Ling.
"Yongda Fund has a 1.2% stake, and I support the opinion of Xia Run Group."
Immediately afterwards, another voice also sounded, also supporting the opinions of Xia Run Group.
The first statements of these two funds seemed to open the floodgates of the reservoir, and soon the following statements came like a tidal wave, most of which supported the opinions of the Xia Run Group.
"What the hell are these two funds?"
While directing people to take minutes of the meeting, the vice president surnamed Yu asked the chief financial officer next to him in a low voice, "Why have I never heard of it?" ”
Wanke's chief financial officer is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with triangular eyes, high cheekbones, thin lips, and a snarky look. She pursed her lips and said with some disdain: "Several small funds in Hong Kong, our H-share shareholders, are not qualified to sit on the board of directors, so don't pay attention to them." ”
Indeed, in terms of the holdings of these funds, it has nothing to do with the big picture at all, which is why the CFO described them so disdainfully.
The vice president surnamed Yu felt a little at ease.
However, this stability did not last long, and as more and more shareholders took a stand, so did the share of opposition, which soon exceeded 40 percent, and although several major shareholders expressed support for Wang Liangxiu and his team, their shares lagged far behind those who opposed it.
As the process of expressing his position deepened, the face of the vice president surnamed Yu became more and more ugly.
"38.6% are in favor and 45.1% are against, and according to the company's process, there is not a majority of those who oppose it."
After all the shareholders who participated in the meeting expressed their positions, the vice president surnamed Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, what he was worried about did not happen, "This proposal will be temporarily put on hold, and the board of directors will decide whether to convene a general meeting of shareholders to express its position on another day." ”
According to Wanke's corporate agenda, if no more than half of the statements are made at the emergency shareholders' meeting, the statement will be invalid. The final outcome of this proposal will be decided by the Board of Directors or by the General Meeting of Shareholders. This time, the emergency shareholders' meeting was to convene those shareholders who held more than 0.1% of the shares to make a preliminary statement, and those who held a small share of retail investors were not among them.
As long as the time can be delayed and the acquisition of Hengsheng Group becomes an established fact, the raw rice will be cooked and matured, and I believe that the shareholders will no longer have any objections. This is the wishful thinking of the vice president surnamed Yu.
"Wait a minute, look at this power of attorney!"
What puzzled the vice president surnamed Yu was that Song Ling's face did not have an expression of discouragement and disappointment, but a playful face, and unhurriedly took out a thin piece of paper from the briefcase and said, "This is a shareholder voting authorization letter, which has been signed by me and certified by the lawyer, and has legal effect." In other words, I have the right to vote on behalf of this shareholder. ”
"This ......"
The vice president surnamed Yu took the document and took a closer look, and sure enough, as Song Ling said, this is an equity voting authorization letter, signed by a shareholder named Zhong Shi, and under his name, he has 4.99% of Wanke shares.
45.1% plus this 4.99%, it reached 50.09%, which is exactly more than half, which means that Song Ling's proposal has officially taken effect. Because even if this share is won at the general meeting of shareholders, Wang Liangxiu and his team can't afford to make any waves.
The reason for buying 4.99% is because if the shareholding reaches 5%, then it is necessary to raise a sign to explain the intention.
The vice president surnamed Yu only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted on the spot. After being silent for a long time, he announced with difficulty: "At this emergency shareholders' meeting, in response to the plan proposed by Xia Run Group to oppose the bid for Hengsheng Group, the plan was approved with more than half of the shares. According to the process of Wanke, the resolution formed at this meeting is valid. In accordance with the provisions of the Listed Companies Act, the relevant information will be announced tomorrow. ”
The situation is stronger than people, and I have to bow my head.
"Okay, I still have something to do, so let's do it first. You hurry up and call Wang Liangxiu and ask him to stop tossing around. ”
Song Ling, who had achieved his goal, smiled, and did not linger too much, but just ordered the vice president surnamed Yu to say this, and took his three subordinates away.
……
"It can be preliminarily determined that the two plans of Wanke Company and Huade Real Estate are the best, and the other companies either bid for the insufficient amount of Hengsheng Group, or the plan to deal with the sea sand house cannot satisfy the owner, so there is no need to continue the discussion."
In Yangcheng, another meeting was also going on, and the members of the handling committee were sitting on their knees, listening to the summary of the government representatives.
After summarizing the various plans, the bookish government representative said, "According to the requirements of the municipal party committee and government, it is necessary to preliminarily formulate a plan today, and then publicize and solicit opinions for a period of time, and finally form the bidding results." Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you will be able to make a final decision today. ”
When he had finished speaking, he sat back in his place and began to close his eyes and recuperate, paying no more attention to the others.
In his opinion, both options are very good, and both options take care of the interests of the owners as much as possible. Therefore, no matter which option is chosen, it will ultimately be able to satisfy all sectors of society. The greedy face of the owner's representative made him very unhappy, so he simply did not participate in the next discussion and remained completely neutral.
"Representatives of the owners, we feel that Huade Real Estate's plan is very sincere, and you may wish to consider them."
At this time, the lawyer's representative was the first to speak, "Although you will eventually live in these houses, but to put it bluntly, your request just now is really a bit excessive, and even I will not be able to agree." And wouldn't it be great if you finally settled down and you still lived where you were, and nothing changed at all? ”
"The capitalists have made so much profit, and it is wrong for us to get a piece of the pie?"
Without Du Qixian's presence, the owner's representative had no scruples, and couldn't stop sneering, "Hey, hey, I'm very unhappy when I see the attitude of that surnamed Du." What do you think of us? Is it called Hanako or a street hooligan ruffian? Look at his appearance, how can he be a little worthy of people's posture! In order to breathe this out, I also want to choose Wanke's plan on behalf of the owners. ”
"So that's what you decided?"
The lawyer's representative sighed and said helplessly, "According to the method set in advance by the handling committee, your owner's opinion accounts for 50% of the decision. If you decide to choose the Wang solution, then you basically conclude that will win the auction. ”
"Yes, we decided!"
After whispering with others, the owner's representative said decisively, "Our owner's representative unanimously agreed to choose Wanke's plan." ”
"Wait!"
At this moment, the door of the conference room was rudely pushed open from the outside, and Wang Liangxiu and his team broke in and shouted to everyone.
At this time, Wang Liangxiu's face was pale, sweating profusely, and he looked depressed, and everyone was stunned, not knowing what was happening.
"Has the final winner of the auction been determined?"
After seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Wang Liang took a long breath and straightened his clothes, which was a little more natural, "According to the process of the meeting, the current result should not have come out yet, right?" ”
"It just came out, and the document has not yet been formed, but congratulations, Chairman Wang, we will be loyal consumers of Wanke in the future!"
The owner's representative was quite blind, and when he saw Wang Liangxiu, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over to shake the other party's hand, "Our owner's representative voted for you, and according to the rules, you basically won." Congratulations to you, Chairman Wang, thank you so much for being able to put yourself in the shoes of our owners. ”
His expression was sycophant, his attitude was kitsch, and his waist was bent very low, almost showing a posture of ninety degrees, completely like a pug wagging his tail and begging for pity.
"So, the final result hasn't been formed yet?"
Hearing his words, Wang Liangxiu let out a sigh of relief, his expression was completely relaxed, and he didn't look at the owner's representative, but turned his head to the others and said, "I'm sorry everyone, we Wanke officially announced that we will give up this bid for Hengsheng Group." ”
"What?"
"Did I hear me right?"
"How is this possible? They are only one last step away from winning, how can they give up at this time? ”
……
Wang Liangxiu's words immediately aroused strong reactions from all sides, and they all couldn't believe their ears when they talked about it. Among them, the strongest reaction was the owner's representative, who slowly raised his waist and looked at Wang Liangxiu with round eyes, with a panic and confusion on his face, unable to speak for a long time.
"This ...... This...... What the hell is going on? ”
It took a full five minutes for him to squeeze the words out of his throat.
It's just that Wang Liangxiu won't answer his question at all, and he doesn't even look at him. (To be continued.) )
