News of Mr. Geruno's decision to leave quickly became known.

Those who knew the news did not spread the news further.

It's like the President of the Federation also knew about this, but he didn't contact anyone to ask them to find a way to keep Mr. Geruno and other direct members of the Duncan family in the Federation. Instead, he acquiesced to the fact that they were leaving. .

Emotionally, it's clear that it would be more in the president's best interest to keep them here.

After being tormented by Mr. Geruno for a period of time, not only will he not be able to be re-elected, but he may also be kicked out halfway.

He should keep the Duncan family members and investigate them severely. By then, many people might be hanged or take a bullet.

But he didn't do that. From a political perspective, letting them escape was the best choice. .

As long as the Duncan family leaves, a lot of mess can be blamed on them.

At the same time, this can also cover up some deeper problems. For example, what if the Duncan family is really caught and they reveal more information that is not known to others?

With the Duncan family's ability to penetrate the federal government, the federal government has long been defenseless against them like a sieve.

In this case, there may be a lot more terrible news that has not yet been revealed.

For example, Mr. President once accepted political donations from the Duncan family. Of course, they were not particularly large, but only in a symbolic sense.

He accepted it, but what about the others?

Have senior officials from both parties had deeper contact with them?

Before the Duncan family went downhill in the past few years, were there more behind-the-scenes deals between them and the top leaders of the two parties in the federal government?

Are there some secrets between them and celebrities and dignitaries from various countries that cannot be disclosed to the outside world?

If these secrets are exposed by them, it may bring unforeseen consequences and troubles.

Especially some issues that may involve diplomacy, should we deal with them or not?

If you are not careful, it will cause more problems!

So at this time, Mr. Geruno said he wanted to leave, and he didn't even mind the news being revealed. In fact, he was telling people that he had lost, he admitted it, and now he was leaving.

No one will stop him.

Mr. President will not.

Neither will bipartisan committee chairs.

The director-general and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation don't know any more!

No one will stop them from leaving!

The day after the news was revealed, Lynch took the initiative to call all shareholders of United Development Company and request a new round of shareholders' meeting.

People who have been paying attention to these situations immediately responded to Lynch's request.

In fact, even if Lynch cannot afford to initiate this shareholders' meeting, others will initiate it.

The Duncan family, which accounts for the largest proportion of individuals, is going to end, but what it leaves behind will still exist.

These interests and wealth must be taken over by someone.

Otherwise, a round of social unrest will soon break out. After all, this is related to the work and life of millions of workers, and it is not a small matter.

The shareholders' meeting of the United Development Company was held at the headquarters of Bupen, but this time, no one could see Mr. Geruno.

At the meeting, Lynch sat closer to the front. As the initiator of the shareholders' meeting, and without Mr. Geruno, if he sat forward, others would not stand up to oppose him.

Look at the row at the front. Who is the troublesome person?

Behind everyone is either a big chaebol or a big consortium!

This time, Drago also came to attend the shareholders' meeting.

As the former governor of Nagaril Province, the benefit of his switch to the federation was that he became a shareholder of the United Development Company.

The shares are not very large, but they ensure that he can live a very good life in the Federation. If his "naturalization" had not been too short, he would have been able to join the upper class society with the shares in his hands.

But it doesn't matter. Although he doesn't have a chance, his grandchildren do have a chance.

Born in the Federation, raised in the Federation, and with local capital on their mother's side, they can take over the resources passed down by their "family" and become upstarts in the Federation's upper class.

After seeing Lynch again after more than a year, Drago had no other thoughts except sighing.

He was so young, and sitting among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, he stood out.

It was precisely this attention that made him realize the distance between him and Lynch.

When everyone arrived, Lynch stood up.

In the past, Mr. Geruno or someone close to him spoke every time, but this time, it was Lynch, which also focused the attention of all shareholders. Some of them knew what was going on, and some of them didn't. what happened.

But it doesn't matter. The purpose of today's shareholders' meeting is to let them understand what happened!

Lynch's expression was serious, "Dear shareholders and representatives, I am very sorry to suddenly summon everyone together in this cold winter."

"If you have noticed the recent public opinion in the Federation, you must know what happened!"

He paused as he spoke. You have to give others time to think. After all, not everyone has a good brain.

After about a few seconds, Lynch continued, "The Duncan family has been involved in many horrific criminal accusations and is no longer qualified to continue to hold important positions on the board of directors of United Development Company. In view of these matters, I once again request the shareholders' meeting to, in accordance with company regulations, Take back all shares of the Duncan family.”

"This is also the first item on the General Assembly vote in the first part of our agenda today..."

Mr. Wardrick, Mr. Pattu, and the others all sat quietly. They did not express any opinions on Lynch's speech, but they did not object either.

This means that the top management of the entire company has actually reached a unified opinion. This is just a process and a formality!

There are indeed fools among the people sitting here, but there are not many fools.

Lynch's ability to say these words means that this vote can only be passed and cannot be denied.

People began to convey some information and exchange some opinions through their eyes. Lynch gave everyone about five minutes, and then said: "If everyone has no questions, you can vote now..."

Generally speaking, the main function of the shareholders' meeting is to vote, discuss, or obtain some actual operating conditions of the company and intervene in the adjustment of board members.

Lynch's request for a vote was within the charter of the shareholders' meeting.

The Secretariat began to distribute voting cards. Federal people advocate freedom and justice, so voting at the shareholders' meeting will also have a ceremonial process.

In fact, it is a bit one-sided to say that the ceremony is a bit one-sided. This is actually to leave conclusive and effective evidence.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if someone agrees verbally but disagrees behind the scenes.

A blue card with voting content on it and two boxes below, one for agreement and one for disagreement.

People only need to tick √ in the box. Those who tick both boxes or have no marks are deemed to have abstained.

With the end of the face-to-face voting, the number of people who agreed exceeded 67% except for the shares held by the Duncan family, which means that the resolution of the shareholders' meeting was passed——

This does not mean that the Duncan family did not vote. Mr. Geruno was not present and did not send a representative, so they were counted as abstaining.

Abstentions are not included in the statistics.

Lynch didn't appear too happy about the result, nor was he dissatisfied at all. He looked very normal.

Then he started the rest of his agenda.

"It seems that everyone is unified in their opinions. I deeply hate what the Duncan family has done!"

"Allowing such people to stay in the company is a huge humiliation to us, society, and all federal people!"

"I am very happy that everyone can stand on the side of justice. According to regulations, we will then discuss the reallocation of these shares."

Lynch looked at the people in the first row. No one had any objections.

This is also what they hope for. Everyone hopes that they can get more benefits, and this is the capitalist.

They will not talk to you about benevolence, justice and morality. They will do and say that benevolence, justice and morality only when they need it.

Most of the time they are actually very simple. In their code of conduct, interests are the highest priority!

The United Development Company has become a terrifying monster. It may not look particularly powerful, but in fact its size is quite astonishing.

The Duncan family holds the largest number of shares among individuals. When these shares are released, even Lynch may not be able to take them. In addition, there are other people who want to compete or give up, so there needs to be a way.

It can't be that because of these things, some small shareholders have been tossed into bankruptcy by the large shareholders, right? !

In Bupen, the idea of ​​becoming a major shareholder is not supported by small shareholders. For large shareholders, the easiest way is to replace the small shareholders.

Just bankrupt them.

Large shareholders will not acquire too many shares of small shareholders. In many cases, small shareholders also bear great responsibilities, such as helping large shareholders bear losses when appropriate.

The discussion did not take long, and Lynch provided an idea to redistribute the released shares according to the current shares held by everyone.

If someone can't afford the shares, the shares can be transferred to someone else.

In fact, not all shareholders in the general meeting of shareholders can freely buy and sell shares.

Like Drago, whether he is buying or selling, he ultimately has no choice but to make the decision himself!

This is not an exception, there are actually many.

Those who can truly freely operate their shares are the major shareholders.

So in the end, these shares will still fall into the hands of major shareholders.

Small shareholders don't even dare to fight. Who knows if you fight for it, you might offend a big shot, and then your company might go bankrupt for no apparent reason.

The current situation is actually very good. Even if the major shareholders hold more shares, it will not have any impact on the current situation...
