Chen Dingtian put forward the term independent director, which made Ali Guo feel inexplicable, and they understood that the word director was the head of a company or some organization, a group of people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and independent directors, why the word "independent" was added, they also felt very strange. However, they thought that Chen Dingtian would not be untargeted, and began to listen directly.

"The so-called independent directors, on the premise of ensuring that this so-called concession belongs to our sovereignty over China, I think we can invite some external 'experts' to participate in the management, and we have formulated corresponding regulations to ensure that these external participating managers will not be subject to all kinds of trouble. Because all foreign enterprises become bigger and stronger, especially in the second generation, they often face ineffective management. So I'm thinking about separating this ownership from the right to operate. The board of directors is only responsible for the decision-making of major matters, and can be entrusted to a dedicated manager on a day-to-day basis. The board of directors is only responsible for big things, but in addition to the owners, the board of directors can also invite some professionals who have no business dealings with the company and do not have any interests to be responsible. They can participate in management during their term of office and are protected by the system during their term of office. Guarantee that interests will not be violated and ensure personal safety. ”

"So I think that first of all, to ensure that the sovereignty of this so-called concession belongs to us, China, and we can elect our Chinese directors as the main directors, and also hire some foreign experts as independent directors, and the independent directors have the same powers and responsibilities as the Chinese directors during their term of office, and they are also responsible together. If you don't make a big mistake, you can't easily get out of your post during your tenure. ”

Chen Dingtian introduced them to some of the statements about the independent directors of the company in later generations, and those foreigners were also surprised for a while, especially this statement about the separation of ownership and management rights, and the hiring of a group of professional managers to manage, which made many foreigners of Zhou Wei almost stunned. Because the professional manager system in this era has just started, the ownership and management rights of enterprises in this era are not separated, but integrated. However, those business managers, especially those of the second generation, are often unable to effectively control the enterprise. At this time, if there is a group of people to help manage and control the system in this way, it is actually very good.

Chen Dingtian even suggested inviting some experts to serve as independent directors, of course, this independent director has a term limit, unlike internal directors, as long as others are willing to believe in you, then you can continue to be re-elected. However, this independent director is absolutely limited in terms of term, and he is another form of corporate guest. This kind of independent director is similar to a "guest secretary", but this kind of guest secretary can directly and temporarily enjoy a part of the owner's power, but it is shared in the case of infringement of the owner's main rights, and it has a certain number of years.

These independent directors tend to be experts and avoid problems in decision-making by outside experts. This makes the foreigners feel very good, and this is a good way.

"We can do the same here, and we can start with a total of 11 directors, including six Chinese directors and five independent directors from Western foreigners. And every two years thereafter, the number of foreign independent directors will be reduced. Each term of office is two years, and Chinese directors can be re-elected, and independent directors can only be re-elected once. And every two years, the number of independent directors is removed and replaced by Chinese directors. ”

Chen Dingtian introduced this method, which immediately made these Westerners also fry the pot one after another, because Chen Dingtian's approach was simply using a gradual encroachment method to recover the power of the concession. This time, they set up this Ministry of Industry Bureau, in fact, they originally hoped to manage it more effectively, reorganize the management organization, and even unite the concessions of France, the United States, and Britain to manage it. Because there are now more and more Chinese in the concession, it will definitely not work without forming a new management body.

Originally, they kindly invited the Chinese to participate in the management, but Chen Dingtian actually took advantage of the topic to take advantage of the opportunity to gradually and de facto take back the actual management power of the concession, which was simply unbearable. Originally, this independent director had nothing, originally they just wanted to join one or two Chinese directors, but Chen Dingtian was ruthless enough, and directly wanted to occupy the vast majority of the quota on this board of directors, and even kicked out the foreign directors under the condition of protecting the so-called sovereignty, and eliminated a foreigner 'independent director' every two years, which is equivalent to waiting for ten years, then all of them will be Chinese directors. In this way, they have in fact completely lost the supreme management power, and the concession has returned without returning.

"I don't agree, you do this, this is against the treaty, you ...... back then" Ali Guo hurriedly shouted.

Chen Dingtian once again emphasized: "We have never recognized the legitimacy of the Manchu Qing Treaty, and we will never recognize it, understand?" We're not going to take it seriously, get it? I can get to this point, I am already very tolerant, if I force us, then this Miss Zhou of the Heaven and Earth Association is not such a good-tempered literati as me. ”

"Smack!" Zhou Xiuying immediately took a dozen pounds of broadsword and deliberately hit the wall and made a sound.

"That's right, what the husband said is right, our heaven and earth will be the mortal enemy of the Manchus, and they will not recognize any treaties of the Manchus that betray our Chinese interests, understand? So we don't admit it, this so-called Shanghai Concession has never been recognized by our Heaven and Earth Association! Zhou Xiuying said.

"Oops, I'm luring a wolf into the house!" Ali Guo smiled bitterly in his heart.

Ali Guo knew that this time was in trouble, and all the Chinese in the concession were mainly composed of those Heaven and Earth Society's rout. Even though the Heaven and Earth Society has now been de facto disbanded, it has been reorganized into the Heaven and Earth Society Rebel Army. There are currently 20,000 rebels in this Heaven and Earth Society, and although they are currently training, their strength is not weak.

How many Britons were inside the concession? The armed forces of the British in the Far East were not strong, especially in Shanghai, in fact, the armed forces were still mainly part-time, and the Marine Corps was the size of a company. In front of the 20,000 Heaven and Earth Society's army, this company is not enough to stuff their teeth!

This time, Ali Guo knew that he was in trouble, and this time he definitely lured the wolf into the room. Although most of the 80,000 Heaven and Earth Society's rout has been removed, many of them used to be members of the Heaven and Earth Society, so who knows if they will continue to obey this Zhou Xiuying's leadership, this is also a big problem.

In this way, the British in the Far East were very weak, and even very weak. In these concessions in foreign countries, in fact, force is not the main thing, whether foreigners violate the concessions, that is based on the premise of national strength. Did the Manchus dare not invade foreign concessions because of the garrisons of various countries? This is obviously not, in fact, because of the national strength behind them.

However, now the strength of Britain in the Far East is very weak, and it is impossible to effectively threaten the Heaven and Earth Society, so they are also under a lot of pressure.

"Aren't you afraid of the military might of our British Empire, France, and the United States?" Ali Guo said angrily.

Chen Dingtian said indifferently: "I don't know if your British Empire's hand can be stretched so long, I just know that it is impossible for your British Empire to free up its hands to make extraneous branches in the Far East before it settles the Russians." And the same is true of the French. As for the United States, sending troops across the Pacific Ocean? It's a big deal to come all the way from the Atlantic! Hehe......"

The consuls of the three countries also had green faces, Chen Dingtian said well, the British don't talk about whether the hand can be so deep, and the current Russo-Turkish war in Russia has not ended, and the intensity of this war is definitely stronger than when Napoleon was in the war. The scale of the war was something that the British did not dare to take lightly, and so did the French. Let's not talk about whether their hands can reach so long, let's just say that they are also held back by the Russian-Turkish war and cannot pull out their hands to come to the Far East to top the cattle.

As for the United States, the United States is too far away, and from such a distant sending of troops, then Chen Dingtian thinks that with the current shipping capacity conditions, how much combat power will those guys have when they go to China? Maybe the Chinese will be able to catch them soon.

In this way, none of the three countries can really threaten the Tiandihui in Shanghai by force, so they are actually useless. Once the persecution of the heavens and the earth will be rough, then they will be in great trouble.

"Damn, it's really troublesome this time, it's really a lot of trouble. Our Shanghai Concession is actually dominated by these guys, so we are in trouble. Ali Guo thought nervously.

This time, Ali Guo found out that he had really done a stupid thing, and actually let these Heaven and Earth Society rout troops enter the concession. Of course, with their ability in the concession, they could not stop the 80,000 people of the Heaven and Earth Society from rushing in. But it wasn't a big problem, these Chinese were still very afraid of foreigners, and they didn't dare to be disrespectful. But now the husband of Zhou Xiuying, the female leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, that is, Chen Dingtian, is a person who knows the West very well, he knows the West too well, and he is also very aware of the current situation in the West, so he can naturally easily judge that it is impossible for the West to send troops to China again, and it is impossible for him to have the ability to meddle in China's affairs.

This is the trouble, and this time Ali Guo is feeling a lot of pressure.

"What to do? What to do this time! Ali Guo smiled bitterly in his heart.

This time is a big trouble, this time I am afraid that I will lose the management power of the concession, if it is really to force the world to move roughly, they are not enough to stuff their teeth. Even if they were to be rude, the lives and property of thousands of foreigners in the concessions would be seriously threatened, and it would be very troublesome for them.

Once a violent conflict breaks out, those armed personnel of the Heaven and Earth Society can clean up their so-called marine companies and those so-called part-time armed militias of foreign countries in less than half an hour, which is not enough to stuff their teeth!

"Originally, the people of the Heaven and Earth Society alone dared to be nothing, but with the addition of Chen Dingtian, a writer who is very familiar with us in the West, this has made us like a tiger with wings, and almost grasped all our weaknesses, so that we can't resist. If we want to have a violent conflict, the first to suffer is the thousands of foreigners we have inside the concession. Ali Guo thought in a cold sweat.

This time the British were held in the sore spot and could barely move.

Ali Guo knew that the matter was irreparable, so he simply said: "In this case, I hope you will give us a final face." Let's not announce the public abrogation of the treaties between our countries and the Qing government, the concession is still nominally reserved, how about leaving us some face? ”

Ali Guo is actually already pleading, and the foreign devils in this era are not as arrogant as they were decades later. The reason why foreigners are so arrogant is that the Qing court has been used to it for decades. The current foreigners still regard the Qing court as a big empire, and they dare not offend rashly, and the foreigners do not dare to excessively stimulate the Chinese. Now it is only the "beginning" of China's beginning of Lunsang, and it has not reached its peak, and foreigners will still regard China as an equal existence.

Therefore, now that Ali Guo knows that the matter is probably irreparable, he can only hope that Chen Dingtian can leave some face and some last face for these foreigners. The treaty, which did not publicly announce the abrogation of the Manchus, was only the de facto supreme administration. As long as it is not abolished publicly, then countries will still have some of their last face torn off.

"Also, I hope that you will be able to speak for yourself and allow us foreigners to join your board of directors and participate in management as independent directors. If you don't make a big mistake within two years, you can't be dismissed from your position, you can't be arrested at will, and you must be guaranteed the rights you deserve, which must be written into your so-called laws. Moreover, when you make laws, you should also allow us Westerners to join in the formulation of laws that are acceptable to both the East and the West, as you said. In addition, if Westerners break the law, our consulate has the right to send someone to observe the hearing, to ensure that there will be no favoritism and fairness. Leaf, as you say, abolish those cruel punishments. For example, the death penalty will be only beheading and hanging, and the brutal corporal punishment and all kinds of cruel death sentences will be abolished. Ali Guo said.

These are all promised by Chen Dingtian just now, and Ali Guo hopes to finally fight for the interests of Westerners. Since the strength is insufficient to threaten the Heaven and Earth Society, then the Ali Kingdom can only strive for the final benefits of the Westerners as much as possible. First of all, it is relatively okay to ensure that the face is not torn.

"Okay, I promised, these are what I promised, I will not deny it. I can even continue to fulfill it after that. Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian understands the truth of being a man and leaving a line, so that we can meet in the future. Although Chen Dingtian can absolutely recover the concession at present, he also has to consider going overseas in the future? It is impossible for China to continue to stay at home, and it must also open up to the outside world, and if it is directly and violently withdrawn now without regard for face, then once it goes outside in the future, how can it handle relations with the British in this way. Leaving the last trace of face, you can still prepare for a good meeting in the future.
