Hearing Leeâs words, the shareholders present weighed and balance again and again. Many of them had already leaned toward Lee. Not to mention something else, just being able to cooperate with East Arising International Group was enough to push the Xander Group to the next level. As for management, Lee already had the ability to expand the market back then. He had been paying attention to business all these years and could even reach cooperation with East Arising International Group. How bad could his management ability be?
Yechiel questioned, âLee, I didnât expect you to become so boastful after being bedridden for 20 years.
Everyone in the business world knows very well that East Arising International Group doesnât cooperate with any groups in the country.â After Yechielâs reminder, many people whispered to each other. âThat seems to be the case.â âI think Iâve heard that before.â The way everyone looked at Lee changed again. If Lee was bragging, they really could not be supportive. Lee smiled calmly and said, âThe rules can be bent a little. In the business world, seeking profit is what matters the most. If the cooperation can bring big money and a bright future, is there any reason to reject it?â Everyone looked at Lee with expectation in their eyes.
Yechiel was certain that it was impossible for Lee to reach a cooperation with East Arising International Group. He smiled and said, âLee, youâve been bedridden for 20 years. Other than bragging, youâve also become quite smooth and slick. You said that East Arising International Group intends to cooperate with us. You just made that up, right? When the time comes, if you canât produce a Cooperation agreement, you can also explain that the cooperation with them was not cast in stone back then.
Smart!â Many people looked back and forth between Yechiel and Lee. They had thought it through.
They would let the two brothers fight first and they would support whoever made more sense. âThis is a framework agreement!â Lee directly projected the agreement onto the big screen. Lee knew very well that the shareholders of the Xander Group had seen much of the world. They were not related to the Xander Group, but the fact that they could obtain the Xander Groupâs shares with their own abilities was enough to prove that they were very capable.
Now, most of them were in their forties or fifties. This was the time when they were the smartest, most cunning, and knew how to weigh the pros and cons. All these years, the Xander Group had been able to develop steadily. Some of the credit shall go to them. It would be very difficult to convince them if Lee didnât show them the trump card. Therefore, after Julian said that he was in charge of East Arising International Group, Lee got someone to draft an agreement and asked Julian to stamp it for him. As for whether they cooperated or not in the future, they could talk about it in detail. For now, Julian would help him get back to the position of the president of Xander Group Seeing the striking contract on the big screen, the shareholders finally made up their minds.
Lee said, âNow, please raise your hands to vote. Those who agree to my reappointment as the president of Xander Group, please raise your hands!â Knock knock knock⦠People raised their hands with their elbows against the table. Including Lee, Yechiel, and Sybil, there were a total of 19 shareholders. Everyone voted for Lee except Yechiel and his three confidants. Leeâs eyes flickered over everyone and he said, âThank you, everyone! With 15 votes passed, I will officially take up the position of the president of Xander Group. Please hand over the work to Yechiel.â âI donât agree!â
Yechielâs face took on a ghastly expression. Lee said, âYechiel, youâve been managing the Xander Group for 20 years. Itâs been hard on you. Now that youâve lost your beloved daughter, take it as a long vacation.â
Someone immediately echoed, âThatâs right, Mr. Xander. Just give yourself a break.â âThatâs right. The Xander Group has indeed reached. a bottleneck. We need fresh blood to help the Xander Group reach a higher level.â âMr. Xander, you were the one who proposed to vote.â Yechiel said, âIâve thought about it, The president of the group is equivalent to the highest decision-maker of the group. Itâs not appropriate to vote by a show of hands. You guys donât have many shares, so you can naturally do as you please. The Xander Groupâs loss wonât affect you much, but for those who have a lot of shares, the groupâs loss will be a fatal blowâ¦â Lee raised his eyelids slightly. âSo, what do you mean?â
Yechiel said, âWhat I mean is that the one with the most shares can legitimately take on the role of the president of Xander Group.â Yechiel looked at the shareholders who had raised their hands just now and said, âEveryone, itâs time for you to support Lee with your actions. You can transfer or give all the shares in your hands to Lee.â He then looked at Lee and said, âLee, if I remember correctly, you now have 20.3% of the shares of the Xander Group. âBack then, Dad gave each of us 25% of the shares.
Later, you made a share reform and gave 1.7% of the shares back to outstanding managers. âAfter that, when you were sick and bedridden, your asked me to manage the Xander Group and gave me 10%. You were left with 13.3%.
âStuart is doing scientific research abroad. Sixteen years ago, he transferred 7% of his shares to us. He kept 4% for himself to get dividends every year to maintain the expenses of the laboratory. âYour 13.3%
equity plus the 7% Stuart transferred is now 20.3%.â The corners of Leeâs lips curled up slightly. He said in a mocking tone, âYechiel, Iâm impressed by your good memory!â Lee had never expected his brother Yechiel to be such a person. Yechiel said, âThen thereâs nothing to argue about. Itâs reasonable for a major shareholder to take on the role of president as the ultimate decision makerâ Sybil suddenly stood up and said, âYechiel, Lee has more than 20.3% shares now. He has 50.3% and Xander Group shares.â âWhat do you mean?â Yechiel looked at Sybil in shock. Sybil said, âLast night, I sold 30% of the shares to Lee. I left 2% for annual dividends.â
âYou!â Yechiel was bent out of shape. âAre you serious?â Sybil nodded and said, âYes, itâs true.â
Actually, this wasnât the truth. When Lee asked Sybil who she would choose to support yesterday, she said that she supported Lee. After that, Lee did not come to her again. Later, the companyâs secretarial team informed Sybil that there would be a shareholdersâ meeting today, so she came over She did not expect that the day of the competition between Yechiel and Lee would really come. Although she did not know why Lee did this, Sybil believed that he must have a reason.
This reason had nothing to do with benefits. Yechiel or Lily must have done something to hurt Lee.
Otherwise, Lee wouldnât have asked someone to take Lily away. Now, he made a move to get the presidentâs position. âSybil, youâ¦â Yechiel broke off, incoherent with anger. Lee also heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, he was taking a gamble. He bet Sybil on her feelings for him. Of course, 11 3) shares, he still had a backup plan. It was just a little troublesome. âYechiel, if there are no other questions, you can step down from your position as the president of Xander Group from now on,â Lee said. Yechiel said coldlyâ¦
