0705 [Father and Son Against Eye]
At three o'clock in the afternoon-——
Paul Getty Group, large meeting room.
Today, all the directors of the group are here, and we want to discuss the current predicament faced by the Paul Group of companies.
Especially a few days ago, the stock of the Paul Group was almost cut in half due to Getty's personal reasons, making these board members like ants on a hot pot, and every day when they wake up, they have to look at the stock price to see that they have lost millions.
As rich people, they have also experienced strong winds and waves, but they have never seen such a dangerous one, and they lost millions of dollars when they opened their eyes, which was more exciting than jumping into the sea.
At this moment, Huntley, one of the group bosses, is complaining loudly: "Damn, can he still sleep like this?" I heard he went to play golf yesterday! ”
"That's it, because his group's stocks are about to fall, and he is still happy!"
Another big guy, Sherlock, said.
"We should collectively put pressure on him, yes! We shouldn't be afraid of his face, we should teach him a hard lesson! Let him know that this company is not his own! ”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Everyone raised their hands.
At this time—
Crunch!
The door to the conference room is open –
A loud voice said, "What do you agree with?" ”
Everyone was immediately silent and looked towards the door.
Paul Getty walked in, accompanied by a team of attorneys and his son, Johnny.
Although his figure is a little rickety, his steps are powerful, especially when he comes in, he looks forward to Shenfei, and his eyes are bright and chilling.
Huntley and Sherlock had been shouting so vigorously just now, but now they wilted, and they didn't dare to look directly into the Getty Old Man's sharp gaze.
"Why, no one spoke?" Getty was unfazed and made it to the top.
His son, Johnny, helped him pull out his chair, and Old Man Getty swaggered down.
The four barristers of the legal team stood on his left and right sides, holding their heads up, like generals guarding him.
After sitting down, Getty looked at Huntley and Sherlock.
The two hurriedly avoided their gazes.
Getty nodded, pleased with the way they showed weakness.
Unhurriedly, he pulled out a large cigar and bit it into his mouth.
Syllable!
Son Johnny pulls out a lighter and helps him light his cigar.
Getty took a bite of his cigar and took a haughty puff of smoke into the crowd, his eyes glaring.
He had silver hair, and at this moment the smoke enveloped his cold face, making him look even more powerful, and he couldn't breathe.
One of the directors usually had asthma, and the tension at the moment made him wheeze relapse.
He breathed heavily, coughed heavily, and with trembling hands, he took the spray out of his bosom, stuffed it into his mouth and sprayed it violently a few times, and then he came back to life.
The others watched this scene, and no one said a word, as if other people's lives and deaths had nothing to do with them.
Getty took the third puff of his cigarette before he spoke slowly: "What did you just say, keep talking!" I'm listening! ”
No one said a word.
It was quiet.
Getty snorted, and this sound was like a lion's roar, which made everyone tremble.
Just now, he hurriedly took out the spray and stuffed it into his mouth and sucked wildly.
"Why don't you say it? Weren't you arrogant just now, you want me to be responsible! Now that I'm here, right in front of you, tell me how to be responsible? ”
The atmosphere has been rendered to such an extent, if these directors don't speak again, it will be a shame and a big shame, how can they gain a foothold in the company in the future?
Thinking of this, Huntley stood up and said, "That's right, Mr. Getty! Because of your previous mistakes, our company's stock has suffered a great loss! Not to mention others, I alone have lost seven million now! ”
"Yes, I also lost more than five million!" Sherlock chimed in.
"And me, I also have a loss of three million!" The others, seeing that someone had come forward, became emboldened and began to respond to the Getty.
Getty watched this scene coldly, until no one stood up and complained, then snorted coldly, pointed at Huntley's nose with a cigar and said, "Huntley, I know you've been messing around behind your back." When I started the company, you fought against me at every turn! Now, how do you think that I have a bad reputation, so that the company will get losses and plan to take the opportunity to deal with me? ”
"No, I've always been right about things, not about people!" Huntley flatly denied it.
"Haha, what a person who is right about things and not right people!" Getty sneered, and a pair of old eyes were as sharp as knives to pierce Huntley's heart: "Don't think I don't know, you have been secretly buying shares of my group all this time, why, do you want to become a major shareholder and control the company beyond me?" ”
"I didn't, you talk nonsense!"
"No?" Getty waved at the lawyer behind him.
A lawyer stepped forward and pulled out a document and handed it to the Getty.
Getty snapped and threw the papers down the table to Huntley: "See for yourself!" There is no clear in your heart! ”
"It's—" Huntley was dumb, took the file and looked at it a few times, his face turning white.
"What, confirmed? It's a pity, no matter how hard you try, it's in vain, no matter how you calculate, my equity is also 35%, more than all of you! ”
"Father, I still have fifteen percent in my hands!" Johnny whispered to Getty.
"That's right, I don't hear that, my son still has fifteen percent here! Our father and son together are 50 percent, and which of you can compare? Getty gritted his cigar and looked around with his eyes reckless.
No one said a word.
They all looked at the Getty in fear.
Getty looked arrogant, and pointed at Huntley with a cigar, "You bastard, you are only 10% of the shares, and you dare to play yin with me!" Now I don't want to see you, get out! ”
"No, no, no, I'm sorry Mr. Getty, I was wrong! I really know it's wrong, don't drive me away! Huntley cried out for mercy.
Who is Getty?
didn't even save his own grandson, let alone the guy in front of him who offended himself?
"Someone, get him out!" Getty waved his hand and commanded the next person.
Two lawyers immediately stepped forward, "Please, Mr. Huntley!" ”
"No, I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay for a meeting, I'm the director here!"
"director, now I'm removing you as a director!" Getty was unrelenting, "I'm the chairman of the board here, I'm the biggest, and I have the final say!" ”
"No, you can't!"
Huntley wanted to resist, but the two lawyers stepped forward in the morning, picked him up from side to side, and dragged him outside.
Huntley's hysterical voice came from the doorway: "No, you can't do this to me!" I have merit to the company, I am a shareholder! I have 10% equity! I'm a major shareholder! Oh God! ”
Soon, the terrible howl disappeared in the conference room, and everyone was silent.
Getty bit his cigar domineeringly, puffed out a puff of smoke, and then looked at everyone, like a lion king inspecting his subjects: "So now, which of you still wants to challenge me?" ”
At the scene, there was silence.
Huntley was dragged away, and everyone was saddened, especially Sherlock, who buried his head in the cold, for fear of being named by the Getty.
Getty was very satisfied with the reaction, that's right, here he is the king, no one dares to challenge himself.
Just as Getty was beaming, a voice said slowly, "Why don't I try?" ”
"Huh?"
The voice came from Getty's side, and everyone was stunned and looked up at the person who made the sound.
……
Getty's brow furrowed, the corners of his mouth showing a hint of surprise, and he turned his head to look at his son Johnny.
Johnny didn't avoid his gaze at all, looked straight up, and smiled, "Father, do you want me to try?" ”
"What do you say, do you have the courage to say it again?" Getty stared at his son.
Johnny was not afraid at all, and still smiled: "Father, are you old and deaf?" I said, I'll try! It's time for you to change the position of chairman of the group! Yes, as your son, I feel sorry for you and want you to retire early and live for the rest of your life! ”
Getty confirms this.
His own son is going to challenge his authority, and he is on the board of directors, in front of everyone.
Getty looked at his son, Johnny, in front of him, feeling both familiar and strange.
I have the impression that my stupid son has always been timid and afraid, and he is even more respectful to himself and obedient to his words, but now, he -——
Getty laughed angrily and pointed at his son's nose with a cigar in his hand: "Johnny, are you eating by mistake and talking nonsense here?" You're going to challenge my authority, and you're going to want me to retire early and give you the seat? ”
"Yes Father! This is the best way at present, you and my father and son are filial piety, you successfully make Xian, I will definitely remember the teaching, the company grows. "Johnny's word by word, with a sincere attitude.
The people around you see me, and I see you.
I don't know what kind of drama the father and son are singing?
Getty slowly stood up, he didn't like to talk to someone with his head up, even if it was his son.
Getty himself was tall, and despite his stubble stature, he was half a head taller than his son Johnny.
Getty looked at his son condescendingly, shook his head and sighed, "Little one, do you know what nonsense you're talking about?" You can stand here thanks to me! If it weren't for my son, you wouldn't be standing here now, let alone talking to me! Do you know why, because you can't do it! ”
Getty sneered at his son: "You're cowardly, stupid, and even rebellious!" How can someone like you succeed? Even if I hand over the chairman, chairman, and president positions to you, can you bear it? ”
Johnny didn't answer, just looked at his father coldly.
Getty always felt that his son seemed to be different today than before, and he couldn't say what was different.
"Why, don't you admit it? What kind of you are, as your father, I know very well! ”
Johnny smiled, heart-wrenching.
It was only then that Getty realized what was different about the son in front of him.
In the past, as long as he lost his temper, the other party would be scared and pee, but now-
Not only was he not frightened, but he dared to laugh at himself.
"Father, you're right! But it's not right! You call me stupid, and that's because I have to be stupid in front of you, because you never have room for someone smarter than you! You say I'm cowardly, I admit it, because I have to pretend to be timid and cautious in front of you. As for you saying that you will give me the seat and see if I can carry this thousand pounds of burden, my answer is, why don't you give it a try? If you dare to let it go, I will dare to carry it! ”
"Huh?!" Getty was dumbfounded by her son.
For the first time, the others also looked at the domineering Young Master Johnny.
Johnny was imposing at the moment, and he didn't seem to shy away from Getty's desire to tear him up, and he looked straight ahead: "You are a hard-hearted person, you can sell everything for money, and you don't even want your own grandchildren for money!" For this reason, the company has also suffered a lot because of you, and now on behalf of one of the directors of the company, I have decided to impeach you! ”
Rumble!
The scene exploded.
Johnny is directly tearing his face and wants to duel with his father to the end.
Getty didn't expect that his son, who had always been weak, would dare to do such a rebellious thing now, and would even impeach himself and force him to abdicate.
Getty glanced at the crowd.
Everyone was almost gloating.
The Sherlock even took the initiative to say, "Mr. Getty, I think what Mr. Johnny said makes a lot of sense, you must be responsible for the company's losses this time!" Yes! Seeing that Getty was about to go crazy, he hurriedly added: "Of course, this is the opinion of the big guys, not me!" ”
Sherlock was staring at Sherlock, meaning don't take me with you for a rebellion.
Getty sneered, not caring at all about the beam-jumping clowns in front of him, he looked at his son Johnny again: "You want me to be responsible?" What qualifications do you have? Don't forget, you only have 15% of the shares! And I have thirty-five percent in my hands, may I ask my dear son, how do you fight with me? ”
Everyone looked at Johnny and said, "yes, how are you going to fight your daddy?" You're only 15 percent, your dad is 35 percent, what a fart! ”
In the face of everyone's ridicule, Johnny did not waver at all, and continued to smile and say to his father Getty: "Of course I can't fight you alone!" ”
"What, do you still have a helper?" Getty glanced at his son with disdain: "Don't forget, this is your last chance, if you can't get rid of me, I'll fire you immediately!" ”
Getty's tone was cold, making people believe that he could do what he said, and he would not care about the relationship between father and son at all.
"That's right, someone is behind my back, and he promised me that he would push me to your throne!" Johnny said calmly.
"Hahaha!" Getty bit his cigar and laughed insolently, "Someone willing to help you?" I'd like to see which god can help you? Come on, ask him to come out and let everyone see him! ”
Getty spreads his hands and makes a playful face.
Johnny smiled, and then shouted towards the door, "Mr. Du, please come out!" ”
Crunch!
The door to the conference room opens again.
Yan Xiong, Liu He, and two ghost lawyers surrounded Du Yongxiao and came in from outside.
Du Yongxiao was dressed in a white suit and a white top hat, with a graceful demeanor and elegant temperament.
"Uh, how are you?" Getty was taken aback when he saw Du Yongxiao.
Others were inexplicable, "How is it a Chinese?" ”
Du Yongxiao came to the middle, took off his top hat very gently and greeted everyone, then looked at Getty and smiled slightly: "Long time no see!" ”
