Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

That person was his opponent, Ji Wei, general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group.

In the past year, as the Jiuding Consortium has continued to acquire companies and then spin off, the strength of Jiuding Hotel Management Group has also expanded rapidly. It already owns not only the Marco Polo Hotel brand, but also Wenhua, which was obtained from the spin-off of the Landmark Group. Hotels, and a 49 percent stake in Sheraton Hotels after the spin-off from Hutchison Whampoa.

In particular, Sheraton Hotel, although only 49% of the equity, but the management rights are in hand.

As a result, several brands of Jiuding Hotel Management Group compete with Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group.

Ji Wei is also a very hard-working person. He has launched a series of means to compete with his peers, and the effect is very significant. And because of the positioning problem, the most affected is the Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group.

Therefore, Lawrence Kadoorie attaches great importance to Ji Wei, a young man who is less than half his age. Even without considering the background of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, he regards Ji Wei as a comparable opponent.

But now, Shi Shiran, who has been fighting with him for a long time, is actually sitting in his company and chatting and laughing with Liang Zhonghao, the representative of the largest shareholder, but he has not received any news before.

How could this not shock Lawrence Kadoorie.

Could it be that today, the Heung Kong Shanghu Hotel Group, which symbolizes the honor of the Kadoorie family, is about to change hands?

"Mr. Kadoorie, what are you doing standing at the door, please come in!"

Liang Zhonghao said to Lawrence Kadoorie with a smile, seemingly unaware of the strangeness of the atmosphere.

Several other shareholders, including representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, which holds 5.7% of the shares, looked at Lawrence Kadoorie with different expressions.

It is worth mentioning that, in order not to expose it early, the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank have not been transferred to Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Unless absolutely necessary, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank will not take a clear stand, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Lawrence Kadoorie. , which affects the subsequent series of plans.

"Good morning everyone, I'm sorry I'm late! I've kept everyone waiting!"

Lawrence Kadoorie quickly picked up his mood, regained his calm, and said apologetically as he walked in.

No matter what happens next, at least you can't lose your face.

On the board of directors, Lawrence Kadoorie, who is currently on a rotating duty, has to sit first, but at the general meeting of shareholders, the position can be ranked according to the level of equity.

After Lawrence Kadoorie was seated, Liang Zhonghao, who was sitting in the first place, nodded to the staff standing by the door, and the staff immediately closed the door and exited.

Seeing this, Liang Zhonghao said: "Okay, the time has come, everyone who is supposed to come has come, and those who didn't come will surely not come, the general meeting of shareholders has officially started, and now I will introduce the new comer to everyone. shareholder."

"The one sitting next to me is the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group, Mr. Ji Weiji. Jiuding Hotel Management Group's shareholding ratio is 20.2%, which is the second largest shareholder of the current group."

"Let's welcome Mr. Ji to our big family!"

"Clap clap clap..."

After speaking, Liang Zhonghao took the lead in applauding, and the others immediately followed, only Lawrence Kadoorie clapped with an ugly face and then stopped, looking sharply at Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei.

"Hello everyone!"

Ji Wei smiled and got up to say hello to everyone, then sat down again.

"Mr. Ji, I didn't expect that we would sit together in this way, which surprised me."

Lawrence Kadoorie looked at Ji Wei and said lightly.

Ji Wei smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, the world is impermanent, there should be more than one thing you didn't think of."

After speaking, Ji Wei ignored Lawrence Kadoorie, who had a dignified face, and looked at Liang Zhonghao.

Liang Zhonghao understood, and did not intend to be sloppy. He pretended not to see Lawrence Kadoorie's sharp eyes, and said blankly: "Then officially enter the articles of association of this shareholders' meeting."

"Actually there is only one charter, that is, the company's operating conditions still need to be improved. Although the income has been increasing for so many years, under the new situation, the growth rate is not stable, and there is a tendency to slow down, so I suggest re-election. Board of Directors, change the status quo of the company!"

As soon as these words came out, Lawrence Kadoorie's face changed greatly, and what he was worried about finally happened.

He couldn't believe that the friendship with the Liang family for so many years was so useless?

I only went to Liang's house a few days ago, but I didn't expect to turn around now!

Now it is extremely dangerous time, Liang Zhonghao directly tore his face, and Lawrence Kadoorie can't care about anything else. He must struggle with all his strength and directly question Liang Zhonghao: "Mr. Liang, I do not agree with your proposal, the company's current management The situation is very good, and I am already working on a new business plan, which will change soon, and I believe that no one knows the company better than me, and at a time like this, I recommend that the company remain as stable as possible.”

At this time, Lawrence Kadoorie thought of procrastination. First, he tried his best to stabilize Liang Zhonghao and other shareholders, so as to obtain enough time for himself.

As for the so-called plan, it is naturally a non-existent thing.

But since the Liang family has decided to sell their favor, they are quite decisive in doing things. Without Ji Wei's voice, Liang Zhonghao said with a cold face: "Mr. Kadoorie, you don't have to worry, why don't you listen to everyone's opinions? What do you think?"

Ji Wei also said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Kadoorie, the company belongs to all shareholders. In terms of business management, it is still necessary to be democratic and listen to everyone's opinions."

"Whether you want to re-elect the board of directors, it's just a matter of voting, it's a very simple matter!"

"Everyone said yes?"

At the end, Ji Wei smiled and looked at the others present.

There are two British shareholders, as well as a representative of Standard Chartered Bank, two Chinese shareholders, and the two most insignificant shareholder representatives representing the public.

Now it's obvious that the great gods are fighting. Except for the representative of Standard Chartered Bank, the other small shareholders dare to say anything, and they all smile and dare not speak.

Now the new second-largest shareholder obviously wears the same pair of pants as the first-largest shareholder, and the two parties together hold more than 50% of the shares. It doesn't matter whether these small shareholders have opinions or not, let's do the next step. Responses to possible situations are urgent.

After Ji Wei finished speaking, Liang Zhonghao ignored Lawrence Kadoorie and said, "Mr. Ji is right, agree or disagree, we will vote!"

After speaking, he ignored Lawrence Kadoorie's cannibalistic gaze, raised his hand and said, "On behalf of the Liang family, I agree to re-elect the board of directors!"

Ji Wei smiled at Lawrence Kadoorie and raised his hand in the latter's angry eyes: "I also agree to re-elect the board of directors!"

Adding the two together, the shareholding ratio reached 5.2%!

If more than two-thirds of the participants in this shareholders' meeting are voting, the voting is naturally valid.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, several minority shareholders looked at each other and slowly raised their hands.

Upon seeing this, the representative of Standard Chartered smiled helplessly: "It seems that it doesn't matter whether I vote or not, I would like to say that I am satisfied with the management of Mr. Lawrence Kadoorie, but I am satisfied with the management proposed by Mr. Liang. I am also looking forward to changing the business model, this is a difficult choice, anyway, Standard Chartered Bank will not intervene in the business and will only wait for dividends, so I choose to abstain!"

Although the representative of Standard Chartered Bank abstained, compared with other people's agreement, Standard Chartered Bank's abstention was very valuable, so the face of Lawrence Kadoorie felt a little comfort and even a little gratitude.

Lawrence Kadoorie also understood the choice of Standard Chartered Bank. Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, the best choice is to support the major shareholder and the second shareholder. It is the most unwise to choose to oppose it, and the choice to abstain can be considered to give him face.

"Okay, start counting the votes now!"

Although Liang Zhonghao is not the chairman of the board of directors, he is the chairman of the board of supervisors. The board of supervisors supervises the board of directors, is elected by the general meeting of shareholders, and is responsible for the general meeting of shareholders. In terms of vote counting, he is the chairman of the supervisory board.

Soon, according to the shareholding ratio of everyone, it was quickly counted.

The number of votes in favor of re-election of the board of directors accounted for 68.2%, and the proposal passed!

Liang Zhonghao immediately made a decision and said: "The number of votes in favor is 68.2%. The proposal is passed. Now, the previous board of directors will be dissolved and the board of directors will be re-elected!"

"According to the company's articles of association, for every 5% of the shares held, you will automatically get a director seat, because my Liang family has six director seats, and the previous six directors remain unchanged for the time being."

Ji Wei said aloud at this time: "Our shareholding ratio exceeds 20%, and we have obtained four board seats. I will recommend the specific personnel later. The voting rights are currently in my hands."

Except for Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei's equity, even if the equity of others is used in a concentrated manner, they can only have at most nine director seats, which is still less than two.

Obviously, the board of directors that has not been fully elected is also controlled by Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei.

A similar scene happened again.

It just doesn't let people play.

Lawrence Kadoorie understood the situation, gave up the fearless struggle, and sat on the stool expressionlessly, watching what he thought was a ridiculous farce.

Next, Liang Zhonghao continued to move forward. The shareholders who were present on the board of directors voted again. More than half of the board of directors voted to approve Liang Zhonghao's proposal to propose Ji Wei as the new chairman of the board of directors.

In less than an hour, the name of the chairman of the board was transferred from Lawrence Kadoorie to Ji Wei.

From this moment on, Lawrence Kadoorie officially lost control of the Hong Kong Shanghu Hotel Group.

When the meeting was over, the other minority shareholders left first, leaving only Liang Zhonghao, Ji Wei and Lawrence Kadoorie.

Lawrence Kadoorie looked at the two of them mockingly and said with a sneer, "Why, do you have any plans for me?"

Ji Wei said with a smile: "Mr. Kadoorie, you can't say that. In fact, I just have a proposal. I hope you will sell me the equity of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group in your hand."
