Chapter 297: He's Far Behind

Before he became the chairman of the listed company Changda Holdings, he personally visited Guan Yuntian, on the one hand, he humbly asked for advice on some issues, and in addition, Lao Duan also wanted to try to explore the truth through personal contact with Guan Yuntian, the bigwig behind the scenes.

As soon as he became the largest shareholder of Changda Holding Company, he encountered an unprecedented environmental protection storm, which inevitably made Lao Duan have associations, and he once wondered if Changda Group was in trouble, and wanted to prevent him from becoming the chairman of the board of directors of the listed company.

Of course, Lao Duan does not know the truth, Changda Group plans to reduce the equity of listed companies, willing to retreat to the second place, and give up the position of chairman of Changda Holding Company, which is their established policy of systematically withdrawing from the traditional manufacturing industry, Ye Jiayi, as the general manager of Changda Group and the direct person in charge of Changda Auto Parts Company, was already busy, and took advantage of this opportunity to withdraw from Changda Holding Company.

Safety and environmental protection, is the government regulatory departments on the physical manufacturing industry to focus on the two indicators, the old section of the safety of the deep experience, today's environmental rectification, has been confirmed by Guan Yuntian, the old section can also understand.

However, the environmental protection rectification is different from the safety issues that Lao Duan is familiar with, which involves the process and production management, and he is a layman to lead this work, Lao Duan feels powerless, "Mr. Guan, the upcoming environmental protection rectification, we hope to get your support." ”

"Please rest assured that although we are not the largest shareholder, we are still the second shareholder of Changda Holdings, environmental protection rectification, on the one hand, we also have a certain responsibility, in addition, the matter happened on our territory, we should do our landlord's friendship. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Mr. Guan, it is said that at the previous board of directors, a leading group for environmental protection rectification has been established, and you and Mr. Ye have been hired as consultants, and we are now the largest shareholder. I came to visit Mr. Guan today, hoping to get the full support of Mr. Guan and Mr. Ye in the process of environmental protection rectification. ”

"I have already said that it is also our responsibility to support environmental protection rectification, Mr. Duan can rest assured, if there are any requirements, you can put them forward at any time, and we will go all out. ”

After the establishment of the new board of directors, in order not to delay time, Ye Jiayi immediately handed over the work to the new chairman of the board of directors.

After Lao Duan saw the documents of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, he felt that time was pressing, and he asked Ye Jiayi where the rectification work should start.

"Funds, first of all, to raise a certain amount of funds, before the handover, I have arranged for the financial department to raise funds in the secondary market, you ask what is the financing effect now? With a certain amount of funds, you can implement it. Ye Jiayi said.

"Mr. Ye, where should the specific implementation start?" This question has always existed in Lao Duan's mind.

"For the specific implementation of environmental protection rectification, you have to ask Mr. Guan, because he has been personally responsible for the previous rectifications, and he is very experienced in this area. ”

Lao Duan and Guan Yuntian had an in-depth exchange again, Guan Yuntian told him that in the process of environmental protection rectification, the technical aspects can be completely handed over to the technical department to do, involving equipment procurement, in order to appear open and transparent, as much as possible to carry out bidding, if it is necessary to coordinate with government functional departments, Guan Yuntian will take the initiative to solve.

As the owner of Fengyuan Mining Company, Lao Duan is undoubtedly a smart person, although he knows nothing about the manufacturing industry, but in the process of environmental protection rectification, there are many things

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In addition to specific technical problems, equipment bidding and procurement, or dealing with government functional departments, it didn't take long for Lao Duan to become proficient.

The only difference is that the equipment bidding was originally intended to be open and transparent in terms of spending money, but this Boss Duan attaches more importance to money, and in this regard, compared with Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi's calm and detachment, he is far behind!

When dealing with government functional departments, Lao Duan's character as a mining company boss is vividly expressed, and everything must be treated and gifted, and the gifts are generous.

Without comparison, there is no way to distinguish between high and low. In the past, Ye Jiayi of Changda Group was the chairman of the board, in order to do things, there were also treats and gifts, but that was done only as a last resort, since the old Duan of Fengyuan Mining Company became the chairman, and gifts have become commonplace, and the financial department is uneasy about this, because according to the financial system, a lot of expenses for eating and giving gifts cannot be recorded at all.

What makes other shareholders intolerable is that a lot of equipment needs to be purchased in the process of environmental protection rectification, according to the requirements, the equipment worth more than 5,000 yuan will be purchased by bidding, I don't know if this Duan is troublesome, or he does not know what democratic management is, the form of equipment bidding is there, but he is unwilling to set up a real bidding evaluation body, which bidding unit wins the bid, all decided by him and several shareholder representatives of Fengyuan Mining Company, and sometimes even Lao Duan himself has the final say.

In the face of such a situation, the three shareholders of Changda Group saw it, but according to Guan Yuntian's request to "talk less on the board of directors", Lao Ding and others turned a blind eye to it. The shareholder representatives of the Changda Group remained silent, but the other shareholder representatives could not stand it, they could not bear it anymore, and a member of the board of directors who had a good relationship with Lao Ding asked in private: "Mr. Ding, you didn't manage like this before! Lao Duan's management style is not democratic at all, he is so arbitrary, does he think that the entire Changda Holding Company is his enterprise? I don't think he takes other shareholders seriously at all." ”

"Everyone's management style is different, maybe this is the management style of Lao Duan. Lao Ding didn't want to talk to the other party about this.

"You are a person who has seen the world, do you think Lao Duan's management style is democratic? Does he know that joint-stock listed companies should practice democratic management?"

"This matter is related to the quality of each manager, high-quality managers, democratic management is very respectful, in the process of management will consciously democratic decision-making throughout; for people with low quality, they have the final say in everything they want, and will naturally put democratic decision-making aside. Lao Ding did not answer positively.

"What kind of quality! Lao Duan has a mining background, what kind of quality can he have? I think this guy just wants to take the listed company for himself. ”

"Fengyuan Mining only accounts for 20% of the equity of Changda Holding Company, and it is not so easy for him to take the entire company for himself, unless he pays to buy all the shares of other shareholders, does he have the strength?"

"However, if Lao Duan Hu is allowed to come like this, there is not much difference between the entire listed company and his own enterprise! Is there no way to stop him?"

"Not only is there a way, but the way is very simple, the articles of association of the joint-stock enterprise clearly stipulate that any shareholder has the right to request a board meeting to discuss accountability for the misconduct of the company's management. Lao Ding said.

"We are all small shareholders, except for Fengyuan Mining, the board of directors only has the weight of Changda Group's words, Mr. Ding, you have long seen Lao Duan's misbehavior, why don't you bring it up to him?"

"We also have a hard time, Changda Group

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It was the previous chairman's unit, and now he comes forward to find fault with the new chairman, and some people will misinterpret our intentions, so it is better for us to remain silent. ”

In fact, through further reduction, Changda Group currently holds only about 10% of the equity of listed companies.

"Well, I will contact a few small shareholders and jointly propose to convene a board of directors to restrain Lao Duan's unscrupulous behavior. ”

Sure enough, at the shareholder representative meeting a few days later, a number of shareholders criticized the behavior of the chairman Lao Duan, but Lao Duan, the boss of the miner, was difficult to listen to different opinions, "Fengyuan Mining is the largest shareholder of the listed company, as the chairman, I don't even have the right to decide the bidding winning unit, why are you not the largest shareholder?"

"Mr. Duan, even if Fengyuan Mining is the largest shareholder, isn't your equity only 20 percent? So you have to make it clear that Changda Holdings, a listed company, is not your own company. ”

"So what? The articles of association stipulate that the largest shareholder is the chairman, do you have any objections?" Lao Duan deliberately changed the concept.

"We have no objection to the first shareholder being the chairman, because this is what has long been stipulated in the articles of association, but Mr. Duan, you should not forget that in the same articles of association, it is also stipulated that the management of the enterprise must practice democratic management and decision-making, and what you are doing now is exactly the opposite of the provisions of the articles of association!" said one shareholder unceremoniously.

"I have implemented a public tender for the procurement of environmental protection equipment, what do you still want me to do?" Lao Duan seemed to feel that he was still a little aggrieved.

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with bidding, the problem lies in the determination of the bidding unit, you implement a black-box operation, do not engage in public evaluation, let us feel that the shareholders' money is spent a little wrongly. ”

In fact, Guan Yuntian proposed from the beginning that in the equipment bidding process, each bidder should be publicly evaluated, but Lao Duan made his own proposal and rejected Guan Yuntian's suggestion.

"Everyone has opinions on the equipment bidding, isn't it just that you are not allowed to participate in it? For such a small thing, you are mobilizing the crowd and wasting energy, is it worth it?"

"Mr. Duan, no matter how you understand it, anyway, we think that your black-box operation and arbitrary decision-making in the process of equipment bidding are contrary to the requirements of democratic management stipulated in the articles of association of the company. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what this time and that time mean? I am also the general manager of Fengyuan Mining Company, and the management work varies from person to person, and my understanding is that as long as you can achieve effective management, you are a qualified manager. Lao Duan was not ashamed to speak and was full of words.

Seeing that Lao Duan not only did not accept the criticism of shareholders, but was self-righteous, a shareholder was enraged, "Mr. Duan, don't think that your Fengyuan Mining is now the largest shareholder of a listed company, you are the chairman, and others can't do anything about you." You must not forget that in addition to you, other shareholders also hold 80% of the equity of the listed company, as long as you are willing to do so, it is not very difficult to unite several shareholders to exceed 20% of the equity share of Fengyuan Mining Company, and pull you down from the position of chairman. ”

Lao Duan can turn a deaf ear to other criticisms, but if he pretends to be deaf and dumb again for such threatening words, maybe he, the chairman, will come to an end.

The current chaotic situation of Changda Holdings, a listed company, was not expected by the management of Changda Group, but they still believe that there was nothing wrong with the original decision.
