Yechiel said, âLee, how about this? Since itâs a shareholdersâ meeting, letâs take a vote by a show of hands. The minority is subordinate to the majority.â Someone immediately echoed, âYes, letâs vote.â
Yechiel had managed the company for 20 years and had many trusted aides. They all expressed their solidarity. âI agree to a show of hands.â âAny major decision made by Xander Group in the past was voted on by all the shareholders.â
Afraid that Lee would disagree, Yechiel pressured Lee again and said, âLee, itâs different from before.
Information is updated very quickly now. You were indeed very capable in business in the past, but youâve been bedridden for 20 years after all. Youâve been out of touch with society for 20 years. You might not be able to adapt to the current business environmentâ¦â âThen letâs vote. The minority is subordinate to the majority. Before we vote, Iâll briefly explain my current situation to everyone,â Lee said. âAlright, everyone, welcome!â Yechiel was the first to clap. It was fine as long as Lee agreed to take a vote by a show of hands. Yechiel guessed that Lee must be bragging to get votes for him. He had been lying in bed for twenty years. What did he have to brag about? All he could say was a little glory from the past. As the saying went, a hero was silent about his past glories. Dwelling on the past could only mean that he was incompetent now.
The shareholders present were all smart people. It was natural for them to seek benefits and avoid harm. Of course, they knew how to choose. Lee opened his laptop and projected a video onto the big screen. This was a video with a watermark on a news media website. In the video, Yechielâs executive assistant Ethan found Caretech Pharmaceutical Companyâs warehouse manager and asked him to replace the medicine. It could be clearly seen that Ethan had given the other side a generous amount of cash. When everyone saw the video, their expressions were complicated. Lee said, âEveryone has heard about what happened to Caretech Pharmaceutical Company, Yechiel immediately retorted, âLee, Iâm innocent. It was Nancy who was willful and looked for Ethan in private. I didnât know about it.â
Lee said calmly, âYechiel, you think you can shirk all the responsibility by saying that you didnât know anything? This news is about to be released, and it was I who intercepted it. Well, if this is made known to the public, do you think people will accept the explanation that you didnât know anything?â Some peopleâs expressions changed when they saw Yechiel. At the same time, they also weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Was Lee really out of touch with society after lying in bed for 20 years? Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Lee had stopped a well-known media outletâs press release was very impressive! Lee added, âI think itâs time to reorganize the public relations department of the company. Itâs such a big deal, yet theyâre not vigilant at all.â âLee, this is a show that you directed and acted yourself, right?â Yechiel said.
âYechiel, you can call Perfectural Newspaper Office and ask about it,â Lee said. Yechiel was rendered speechless. Lee added, âYechiel, you can say youâre kept in the dark about this thing. Then what about you helping Jasmine invest in hundreds of clothing sales stores. previously? You donât know either?â
The displeasure in the hearts of a few shareholders. was instantly aroused. This was because most of the time, Yechiel would not inform them of their decisions, nor would he hold shareholder meetings.
This made them feel that they were not respected. They knew that they had a small shareholding. After all, the Xander Group belonged to the Xander family, so they did not dare to say anything.
âYouâre the person in charge of the aristocratic families, and you should know the most taboo thing is to participate in the internal strife of other families. However, you secretly fanning the flames. Itâs fine if Timothy has a high chance of becoming the Parks Groupâs successor, but Timothy is the one with the least hope. âWe all know that Old Mr. Parks, Simon, is in charge. Therefore, the battle between Julian and Alexander has nothing to do with the second branch and the third branch of the Parks family.
Timothy is incompetent and unjustified.
âLee, donât be too harsh with your words,â said Yechiel. He was about to lose his cool. No matter what, Timothy was still his son-in-law. Wasnât Lee trying to humiliate him by saying something like that? Lee said calmly, âYechiel, Iâm just stating facts. Those who achieve great things must be good at controlling their emotions. They see things objectively without caring about their personal. feelings.â Hearing Leeâs words, some people wavered in their determination. Those who didnât think highly of him before now wanted to support him. Lee continued, âBy the way, since weâre talking about personal relationships, let me tell you something. Annalise is my daughter and Julian is my son-in-law.
âEveryone knows that in the Parks Group, Julian is the true chosen one. âFirstly, he is the only grandson of the first branch of the Parks family. âSecondly, his personal ability dwarfs the other offspring of the Parks family. âThirdly, he is free from arrogance and impetuosity. He is humble and polite, and he has the conditions that anyone who can achieve great things should Perhaps infected by Leeâs words, someone echoed, âYes, Julian is indeed very outstanding. Not only is he outstanding in the Parks family, but heâs also a man in a million in the entire Jadeborough. The only person who can be compared to him is probably Alan from the Jones family.â
Lee added, âOnce I become the president of the Xander Group again, the Xander Group and the Parks Group will officially cooperate!â Yechiel lost his composure and said with heat, âLee, you have to rely on yourself. Are you using this way to get votes because youâre not confident? If you donât even have confidence, how can the shareholders believe that you have the ability to manage the Xander Group well?â Lee smiled, calm and composed. He said, âIâm just stating the facts. What does it have to do with confidence?
âThe Xander Group has been doing well over the years. Yechiel, you think itâs because of you? Youâre wrong. Itâs just because my team expanded a lot of resources back then so that we got plenty of partners. âTo this day, most of the Xander Groupâs cooperative partners are still those my former team tried hard to obtain. to expand the market.â Hearing this, the shareholders gave it a thought and realized what Lee said was indeed the case. Their cooperative partners were still the old ones. For example, they had been working with some internationally renowned clothing companies and internationally renowned electronics companies for more than 20 years.
Undoubtedly, there had been new partners over the years, but they only accounted for a small proportion and were not those that brought the most benefits to the company. Seeing that Yechiel was about to defend himself again, Lee did not give him a chance to speak and said, âFor the past 20 years, Iâve been bedridden. Itâs just that Iâm in poor health. Iâve been recuperating in the courtyard. Itâs not like Iâm dead. âIâve always been concerned about current events, information changes, and business booms and busts. Iâve seen some companies rise and some fall, just like everyone else.
âIâm also concerned about companies that are doing especially well and have a bright future i also have contacts with them. For example, East Arising International Group. They have the intention to work with us.â Originally, with his personality, Lee was unwilling to bring on his daughter and son-in-law. But now, he wanted to get the Xander Group quickly and make Yechiel panic as soon as possible.
