On September 27th, Tonghe Group Conference Room!

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little tense.

There are 10 of the 11 members of the board of directors of Tonghe Group, of which 4 are the management of Tonghe Group, 3 are Huatie, and the remaining 3 are independent directors.

Under normal circumstances, the independent directors of the company tend to get closer to the company's management, which is also where Xue Jingshan's confidence lies.

If the ten members of the board of directors present vote, then Tonghe can basically lock in 7 votes in favor, then it can be more than two-thirds, and the restructuring plan can be successfully passed.

However, there is only one variable, that is, the independent director who has not yet been present, Song Mingzhi, because he was nominated by Huatie.

If Song Mingzhi supported Huatie, then Xue Jingshan's plan would be vetoed, and if not, it would be successful!

For this point, Xue Jingshan has no bottom in his heart, and can only hope that the other party will favor himself for the sake of having a large transaction with Tonghe in the near future.

The time was almost up, and Du Qiu and Xue Jingshan were both looking at their watches, but Du Qiu looked more anxious.

"How's it going, are you connected?"

Du Qiu turned his head and asked the assistant beside him.

The other party shook his head helplessly:

"I can't get in touch, Mr. Song has turned off the phone!"

Seeing that the scheduled time had arrived, a smile flashed in Xue Jingshan's eyes, and then he said loudly:

"Alright, now that the time has come, let's get started!"

Hearing this, Du Qiu frowned and said:

"Dong Xue, don't worry, right? Song Ming knows that the director has not arrived yet! ”

In this regard, Xue Jingshan shrugged:

"Mr. Du, I remember that you are a person with a strong sense of time, why are you ...... today?"

He didn't finish what he said later, but the meaning was already obvious.

Du Qiu choked and snorted:

"Let's get started!"

Since the phone can't get through, there's no point in delaying for a few more minutes.

Seeing this, Xue Jingshan was satisfied, and with a wave of his right hand, his subordinates began to distribute documents to everyone present.

After everyone got their own reorganization plan, Xue Jingshan signaled that the Xiao Ya meeting that presided over the meeting could begin.

Xiao Ya nodded and said:

"Representatives of shareholders and non-voting representatives,

Good afternoon, everyone......

Let's move on to the first topic of the day......"

He began to briefly introduce the memorandum of cooperation he signed with Su Xiao to everyone present, the main content of which was that Tonghe exchanged interests with Su Xiao by issuing new shares.

In this regard, the three shareholders of Huatie Group, including Du Qiu, naturally took the same position and expressed their opposition.

There is no choice but to vote by show of hands!

Seeing that the management and the three independent directors all voted in favor, a smile appeared on the corner of Xue Jingshan's mouth, and then Xiao Ya said unhurriedly:

"The board of directors plans to have an agenda item today, a memorandum of cooperation signed with Junyuexi, 10 directors of the board of directors present, 7 people agree with the topic, and 3 people oppose the topic......

However, before she finished speaking, the mobile phone of the assistant who contacted Song Mingzhi before rang, and it was Song Mingzhi who called.

"Wait, Mr. Song is calling, you can participate in the meeting voting remotely!"

Everyone present immediately turned their attention to the mobile phone in front of Du Qiu.

The phone was connected, the speakerphone was turned on, and Song Mingzhi's voice suddenly came:

"I'm sorry directors, the plane is late, I just got off the plane!"

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder they couldn't get in touch.

However, now is not the time to pursue this, Du Qiu hurriedly said:

"Mr. Song, we are ......"

He explained the content of the meeting vote simply and clearly, and then asked Song Mingzhi to choose whether to agree or oppose.

However, before Song Mingzhi voted, Xue Jingshan said enthusiastically:

"Haha, Mr. Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, this vote is very important for Tonghe, and I hope Mr. Song will think it through!"

Song Mingzhi on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said:

"The Citigroup I currently work for has transactions with Huatie and Tonghe, especially at present, there is a large transaction with Tonghe, I have sought the opinion of my lawyer, I have a conflict of interest, so I abstain!"

Hearing this reply, Du Qiu was overjoyed, while Xue Jingshan was chuckled.

Because if you abstain, the number of votes calculated is 11, and the votes in favor account for 7/11 of the total number, which is less than 2/3, which means that Xue Jingshan's restructuring proposal has failed.

When Du Qiu was just about to speak, Xiao Ya, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, spoke:

"Director Song Mingzhi, according to what you said, then you belong to the relationship of interests and belong to the recusal of voting, is that true?"

Song Mingzhi on the other end of the phone paused for a second, and then replied:

"That's right!"

Xiao Ya continued to ask:

"Are you sure you recused yourself from the vote?"

Song Mingzhi confirmed again.

Xiao Ya continued:

"Then I would like to remind you that if you make a recusal vote as an independent director, you must give our written reasons for recusal and sign it, and then we will say it in the announcement!"

After listening, Song Mingzhi said firmly:

"That's the reason I just said, because of the conflict of interest, I must recuse myself from voting, I will provide you with written opinions, give me a little time!"

Beep, hang up!

Due to the speed of Xiao Ya and Song Mingzhi's Q&A, many people present had not yet reacted, and when the phone hung up, when everyone was thinking about the reason for doing so, they only heard Xiao Ya say in a decisive tone:

"Today's board of directors topic, the number of votes is 10, 7 votes are in favor, 3 votes are against, more than two-thirds of the votes are in favor, and it is deliberated and passed, in line with the provisions of the law and the articles of association, and then the signing procedure ......"

Because of conflicts of interest, there are two ways to not participate in voting, one is to abstain, and the other is to abstain from voting.

If he abstained, then Song Mingzhi would be counted in the number of voters, and if he avoided voting, he would not be counted.

And the reason why Xiao Ya asked Song Mingzhi to confirm that he was avoiding voting was to keep him from being counted in the number of voters.

Du Qiu was stunned, he stood up and pointed at Xiao Ya and said angrily:

"You're obviously a guide, you can't count!"

In this regard, Xiao Ya said unhurriedly:

"Song Ming knew that Mr. Song, as the head of Citigroup's Huaxia District, how could he not know the difference between abstention and recusal from voting?"

Du Qiu slammed his fist on the table angrily, and then sat back in his chair with a sullen face!

The situation turned around, and Xue Jingshan's originally sunken face instantly became happy, and the speed of changing his face was amazing.

Sure enough, according to the law of conservation of energy, smiles don't go away, they just shift from some people's faces to others.

At the end of the meeting, Xue Jingshan, who was a little complacent, returned to his office, and praised Xiao Ya, the secretary who was still charming, without stingy words!

Xiao Ya, who was praised and blushed a little, took off the Bluetooth headset the size of her little finger from her ear and said:

"Chairman, this is actually thanks to Barrister Yan's alertness, I don't dare to take the credit!"

Xue Jingshan was stunned:

"Barrister Yan?"

Xiao Ya nodded:

"It's the lawyer next to Su Dong, she is the senior management of the Tilt Qi Law Firm!"

Xue Jingshan understood this, and thought back to the professional-dressed beauty who followed Su Xiao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was worthy of being a person who could catch up with Allure Group, and any person around him was so powerful!

And when the two of them were happy, Du Qiu, who originally walked out of the building where Tonghe Group was located, and after entering his luxury car, the door was closed, but the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc!
