I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 121
Chapter 121: Vote!
Jinfu Group had a total of 19 directors, including three “independent directors”!
Independent directors referred to directors who did not hold shares in Jinfu Group and did not directly have business relations with Jinfu Group!
The prerequisite for becoming an independent director was not to have these relationships, so that they could participate in voting on resolutions fairly and justly!
Independent directors might generally be important figures in other giant companies, with excellent ability, reputation and high social status.
Another situation was that the “investment institution” sent over. Although the directors were elected by the general meeting of shareholders, the voting rights of the general meeting of shareholders were determined according to the shareholding ratio. Therefore, as long as the major shareholders of the group agree, they would definitely let the other party selected!
Although the “investment institution” was related to the Jinfu Group, there was no business relationship. Their business would not have any disputes with the Jinfu Group’s business. They just gave Jinfu financing back then, and they did not and could not interfere with the company.
And the directors appointed by them must want the company to run well, because the stock price would be high if the operation was good, and the value of the shares held by investment institutions would also be high.
There were a total of 19 independent directors, and 15 of them were here today.
A total of four people did not show up.
Including chairman Su Ruiwen who was meeting in the capital, two independent directors who were not in Donghai, and an internal director who was on a business trip.
More than two-thirds of the directors present could hold a board meeting!
“Originally, this was just a trivial matter.” Su Qingying’s tone was extremely serious, and her eyes were even sharp. Before this meeting, she locked herself in the office for a few hours just to adjust her mood, for this moment!
She did her best!
“Firing two middle-level managers, there is no need to go to the board of directors. As the executive vice president, I have the right to fire people! If there are serious consequences, I can also be questioned by the board of directors afterwards!” Su Qingying said slowly, looking at Mrs. Su, “But! Since the chairman’s special advisor has a lot of opinions! We are holding a board meeting and let everyone vote!”
Mrs. Su’s face changed slightly.
Although it’s okay to call her that in such a formal occasion, but… was this still the well-behaved daughter from before?
Madam Su’s mouth twitched into a vague sneer.
Go make a fuss.
When the voting is over, see if you are still convinced!
The more I love my daughter, the more angry I am with her now.
She must be taught a profound lesson today!
“First of all, I would like to state that the reason why I fired Zhou Da, the director of the security department, and Yang Kuo, the deputy director, is about Zhou Da…” Su Qingying began to say the “long speech” that she had already said once.
She wanted to be “reasonable”!
The meeting room was very quiet, everyone was listening to Su Qingying, and their expressions were different. Except for a few who were listening carefully, no one else was there, because they had heard the details before, and they also knew… what was important.
It was the voting that was important and not the front!
A few minutes later…
“I am doing it for the benefit of the company, to eliminate negative public opinion! I want to show the attitude of our Jinfu Group to the outside world! So Zhou Da must be fired! Of course, it would be best if he can take the blame and resign!” Su Qingying said the reason for firing Zhou Da, the reason for firing Yang Kuo was just one sentence.
“Yang Kuo is currently in the company only in name, not doing anything for the company, so he will be fired!”
After finishing speaking, Su Qingying sat down and said, “Who has any opinions? You can speak! I hope that those who oppose me can speak the truth and not oppose for the sake of opposition. Such people, no matter now or in the future, are not suitable to stay on the Jinfu board of directors…” Su Qingying’s last few
words was already a warning.
Everyone present understood one thing. No matter what, Su Qingying would take over in the future!
More than a dozen directors sitting there looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other.
None of them spoke, and they all understood that it was not their turn to speak yet.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Applause!
It was Mrs. Su alone, with dry applause.
She applauded her daughter, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she smiled while clapping, her smile gradually became a little appreciative, but it was a teasing one!
“Not bad! Qingying! You really impressed your mother today! You are really brave today!” Mrs. Su said with a smile on her face, but her face darkened, “But! What happened today! I say no way! It won’t work!” Mrs. Su said, glanced at the other directors and said quickly, “What Vice President Su said just now has some truth, but! I don’t think this is an appropriate method. Eliminate the influence and do it. There are many ways to express our attitude, and it is not necessary to fire the head of the security department!
“Zhou Da has worked hard for Jinfu Group for more than ten years, from the security manager of the next factory to the position of the head of the head office today. He has always been dedicated and conscientious, and he is an old employee who has made no mistakes, so why should he be fired like this? Wouldn’t that chill the hearts of other old employees!” Mrs. Su just thought of this passage.
Because Su Qingying issued a “threat”, if she wanted to reason, Madam Su would be able to reason with her.
“Also! You said that we can let Zhou Da resign and give him a compensation in private?” Mrs. Su looked at Su Qingying again and asked, “What if he disagrees?” After a pause, Mrs. Su glanced again. “Zhou Da can disagree! That’s his right, so he can only be fired? After that? He can go to labor arbitration, he may even be used by competitors, make trouble in the media, and be popularized!
“Which one of you would like to see headlines like “Jinfu fires old employees without fault in violation of the labor law in order to calm public opinion” on the news? If this matter is done well, it can indeed calm down public opinion, but what if it’s not done well?
“At present, there are a lot of negative news about our group, and we are on the cusp of a storm. At this critical juncture, is it necessary to take such a risk?” Madam Su finished speaking and looked directly at Su Qingying
In fact, what she said was wrong, Zhou Da belonged to her, so it was easy to persuade Zhou Da, and there was no problem at all if she gave enough compensation in private!
But!
Her logic was right!
Zhou Da did have the right to refuse to resign, more so… Mrs. Su could make Zhou Da refuse!
However… In fact, whether what the two sides said was right or wrong was not the point.
It’s just an excuse for supporters and opponents. As Su Qingying just said, there couldn’t be opposition on the board of directors for the sake of opposition. As long as there was a situation where “the public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is reasonable”, that’s enough!
For rebuttals, other people can simply follow her logic.
“I agree with Madam’s opinion. We shouldn’t take such a risk.” Second shareholder Xu Zhenyuan said lightly, with a very formal expression.
Expressing his position first was also a signal to the two people who listen to him. He was very comfortable in giving this kind of favor.
“I also think…” There was another director who wanted to speak.
“Let’s vote!” Su Qingying interrupted directly, with a high voice, “There is nothing to say, it makes sense. Let’s just vote now. Those supporting what I proposed, raise your hand!” After Su Qingying finished speaking, she raised her hand first.
She was a director, and she had a vote for herself!
Madam Su’s eyes became sharp at this moment, and she scanned around the conference table.
Although she didn’t think anyone would support her daughter, she still had to show her attitude. She wanted to see who dares to support Su Qingying!
Someone raised their hand!
It was very fast!
Not only did Mrs. Su’s expression change, even Xu Zhenyuan’s expression also changed!
His discoloration even surpassed Mrs. Su’s!
Because this person was the first to vote with Su Qingying, not from Su Ruiwen, but from Xu Zhenyuan!
It’s Yao Honglin.
