Chapter 32: The Dust Settles
The Battle of Osborne Tower had a profound impact, and the battle of the four superpowers detonated the Internet and became a topic of conversation among New Yorkers for a long time.
Peter was stripped of his venom symbiote and disappeared for the next two days, licking his wounds somewhere, while Dr. Connors was imprisoned for his crime of turning all New Yorkers into lizards.
Alan and Harry have a big day, and it's all coming to an end today.
The Osborne Group will hold a meeting of its Board of Directors today.
All the staff watched Harry and Allen, and their team stride towards the conference room, everyone knew what they were here for, but none of them looked down on them.
Since Henry took the helm of the Osborne Group, it can be said that he has firmly grasped the power in his hands, enveloped all the directors, and wanted to take back the group from his hands, how could it be possible with these two young people!
"Mr. Osborne, Mr. Coulson, I'm sorry, Chairman Henry said outsiders can't attend board meetings for a few days!"
Outside the conference room, Harry and Alan were stopped by a young female secretary, and before the board of directors had even begun, Henry's dismissal had already arrived.
Harry sneered, "Felicia, I remember that you used to be my father's assistant, why, now you work for Henry?" ”
Felicia was stunned for a moment, and then showed an unhappy expression: "I am now the secretary of the board of directors, please be respectful!" ”
"Humph!"
Harry snorted coldly and stepped forward to look at Felicia coldly, but whispered something else: "How's the situation inside?" ”
Felicia had a cold face, but said the same: "The current situation is not good for you, they are still supporting Henry!" ”
A smile appeared on Harry's lips, "Don't worry, everything will be different after today!" ”
Alan listened to the conversation between the two without any surprise, he already knew that Harry had his own responsibilities in the boardroom.
Harry turned to Alan and said, "Alan, you wait outside first, and then come in at the critical moment." ”
Alan nodded, and waited outside with his legal and financial teams.
The door to the conference room closed after Harry and Felicia entered.
All the directors of the Osborne Group Board had arrived, and they all looked at Harry with burning eyes, and Harry sat down in his seat without fear.
Henry watched Harry take his seat, and then said: "Today, at the request of Harry Osborne, a shareholder of the board of directors, the board of directors is convened to discuss the issue of the chairman of the board of directors and the selection of the CEO. ”
"Harry, is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Henry's tone was very relaxed, as if there was nothing to worry about, just wanting to see Harry's jokes.
Harry shook his head and said, "Let's vote, I propose to remove Henry from the position of chairman of the board and CEO!" ”
With that, Harley raised his hand first.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hands, and just as everyone showed mocking expressions, Falgas, who was in a wheelchair, suddenly raised his hand.
"You ......" Henry, who was originally mocking, suddenly changed his expression: "Falgas, why are you ......"
I saw Falgas slowly stand up from the wheelchair, and everyone was in an uproar, how could it be!
At this time, Dr. Storm's eyes lit up, and he slowly raised his hand.
Henry was shocked, he couldn't care about Falgas who stood up magically, and at this time the voting rights of these three people had reached fifty percent, and if another shareholder betrayed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Henry looked at the others in alarm, wondering which of the directors would betray him, but as time went on, none of the shareholders raised their hands again.
Relieved, Henry was relieved, but pretended to be helpless and said: "It's a pity, Harry, it's only fifty percent, if it is a little more, I can't do anything about it, it's a pity!" ”
Harry ignored Henry, and instead sneered at Felicia and said, "Felicia, go and invite Mr. Coulson into the conference room!" ”
As the door of the conference room opened again, Alan led his team into the conference room, scanning the shareholders one by one, and then his subordinates put the information in front of each shareholder.
One of them, a shrewd, tough, and capable middle-aged middle-aged lawyer with short hair, led the crowd and said to everyone: "Mr. Coulson has spent $2.1 billion to acquire one percent of the shares of the Osborne Group, and you have detailed information in front of you, if you have any questions, you can ask us!" ”
The tough female lawyer, Jerry Hogarth, is the lead partner of the law firm Hogarth-Zhao-Bannowitz that Allen works with.
Henry picked up the pile of proofs in disbelief, his face turning pale as he read it.
"How is that possible!" Henry muttered to himself.
"What's impossible, now that Harry has the absolute vote, shouldn't you move places!" Alan looked at Henry coldly.
Henry snorted coldly at this time, and looked at the two fiercely: "So what, I can still apply to the board of directors for an injunction, Harry, you are just a hairy boy who is less than twenty years old, and you are not suitable to lead a giant company with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars." ”
"Hmph, I'm not suitable, are you suitable?"
Harry said disdainfully, "Now that the company is in the midst of controversy because of Dr. Connors's crisis of confidence, the company has actually happened under your leadership, and the company employees have used the company's patents and equipment to turn all New Yorkers into giant lizards. ”
Henry immediately defended: "Because of this, all the animal hybridization projects he has handled have been halted, and in order to restore the confidence of investors......"
"Hmph, it's really a typical Osborne approach, all the obstacles have to be removed, but can the public anger caused by this incident be eliminated in this way, and the decline in stock prices can be reversed in this way, there must be a senior management of the company responsible for this matter, I think you are quite suitable!"
"Let's go ahead and vote, and I once again propose the removal of Henry as chairman of the board and as CEO."
This time, the shareholders looked at each other, and one after another, other shareholders began to agree with Henry's resignation, after all, the general situation is irreversible, Harry already has the absolute majority support in his hands, and it is also a good thing to launch him to take responsibility for this New York lizard incident.
Looking at the situation in front of them, Harry and Alan smiled at each other, knowing that the efforts of the two men for all this time had finally succeeded.
When he saw that the matter was irreparable, Henry, who was pale, left a sentence: "I will come back!" He turned around and walked out of the conference room.
Allen then proposed, "Now the company needs a new chairman and CEO, and I propose that Harry take this position, so let's vote!" ”
There were no surprises in the vote, and Harry was elected by a high vote.
Harry sat in the chair of the board of directors, and the chair under him addressed the crowd with a satisfied expression: "The company's image was damaged in the previous New York incident, and our priority at this time is to rebuild the image of the Osborne Group. ”
"Also, we should continue to get orders from the military, and Dr. Storm's human enhancement experiments can continue." Harry began to make good on his previous promise.
"Felicia will be my assistant, and you will all listen to her in the future, because she will listen to me!"
Alan was relieved to see that the Osborne Group had finally returned to Osborne's hands!
