Any company has an internal investigation department and relevant company articles of association. However, Idaka does not serve as the chairman of Zhaoshi Group. He wants to get rid of Zhaoshi Group CEO Carl Behrman and suspend him in one sentence. This seems very strong, but in fact it will be a bit difficult.
After all, no one will sit still and wait for death. Conflicts between managers and shareholders are usually very common in American and Western companies. Who can do it better depends on his or her ability. Because, generally speaking, the equity of large companies listed in Europe and the United States is relatively dispersed. It is generally assumed that about 30% of the equity is controlled by the company.
Therefore, there are usually very intense games on the board of directors. And some companies, such as the Hollywood film company Disney, have extremely dispersed ownership. If the chairman of the board also serves as the CEO, basically the entire company has no say as shareholders.
Moreover, there is also a humanistic factor. Basically, it is difficult for rich second-generation shareholders to outperform managers who have fought and gambled in the jungle.
As for Jing Gao specifically, the difficulty he faces is not that shareholders will defect. He controls 70% of the shares of Zhaoshi Group. But the problem is that the board of directors has a term of office, and the convening of special shareholders' meetings also takes time.
The establishment of these rules and regulations is to ensure the normal operation of the company. If you are the founder of a company and manage the company, then these rules and regulations are to prevent major shareholders or certain shareholders from messing up.
If you are a major shareholder like Jing Gao, you will feel that this management standard is nonsense. However, if you look through some business courses, are they all set up this way?
After all, it’s a game of interests!
In the luxurious top-floor conference room on the 42nd floor, all the executives in the conference room fell silent. Zhaoshi Group has a CEO + president responsibility system. Currently, there are a total of thirteen presidents in charge of various business departments or brands.
For example, Dong Lingxi is in charge of finance. She is one of the more powerful CEOs and ranks high among them. Because in general, the CFO of a company is almost the third or fourth person in charge. Ranked after Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO). Specifically, it depends on the setting of management positions in each company.
Karl Behrman had a sneer on his face and said in French, speaking very fast: "Mr. Jing, I respect your rights as the majority shareholder of our group, but you are not qualified to directly remove me. The removal process must be carried out through the board of directors."
When this person said something, Ouyang Wan, who was sitting next to Jing Gao, translated it. The beauty, who was always charming and charming, had a sad expression on her pretty face. This bastard wants to rebel against Brother Jing! There is definitely something wrong.
Jing Gao felt extremely unhappy and said coldly: "Then let's convene the board of directors! Lingxi!"
He's not an idiot, he'll be fooled if he fails to show off. If he dared to come to Zhaoshi Group, he was naturally prepared. As the vice president in charge of finance, Dong Lingxi is also a director on the board of directors of Zhaoshi Group.
Today, Dong Lingxi did not wear the white dress that highlighted her figure yesterday. Instead, she wore a business-style jacket and trousers. She has a plump and hot figure, and looks like a bright and dignified oriental beauty. She spoke to the senior executives of Zhaoshi Group present at the meeting in understandable French with a Chinese accent: "
As a director of Zhaoshi Group, I request that an extraordinary board meeting be convened immediately to discuss the appointment and removal of Carl Behrman, the group’s chairman and CEO. I have been authorized by Xihe Alpha Fund, the major shareholder of the group. This is a legal document! "
The three assistants that Jing Gao brought to Paris this time were Gu Xixi and Chen Qingshuang. Nie Yunxi sits in the Magic City, coordinating all aspects of matters. Dong Youwei also followed him to France with a team. The team includes lawyers with EU licenses.
Dong Lingxi handed the legal document in his hand to the president of the legal and compliance department of Zhaoshi Group.
The president checked it for more than ten minutes, nodded to all the executives who looked over, and said, "This is a valid legal document."
Dong Lingxi looked at the many men and foreign-faced executives in front of the conference table, and said in a clear and loud voice: "I require video access in the conference room so that directors who are not in Paris can participate in this temporary board meeting as soon as possible."
There are no independent directors in French company law, and there are generally more directors.
At this time, an executive echoed Dong Lingxi's opinion, "I agree." Anyone who is not a fool knows that CEO Carl Behrman is doomed. After all, Xihe Alpha Fund holds 70% of the shares of Zhaoshi Group. Everyone will have an account of how they will vote later.
Carl Behrman said with a livid face: "I refuse. According to the relevant charter, I decided to hold the interim board of directors in a week. Now, please Mr. Jing and your people, please leave Zhaoshi Group!"
As he spoke, he showed a sarcastic smile to Jing Gao, still maintaining his so-called French demeanor, "Mr. Jing, do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to call security?"
Made. The faces of Dong Youwei, Ouyang Wan, Gu Xixi, Chen Qingshuang and others immediately became ugly.
Jing Gao laughed angrily, stood up, glanced around the executives of Zhaoshi Group, and then set his sights on the Frenchman Karl Behrman, saying: "Okay, I have never seen such an awesome person. Professional managers. You take care of yourself."
He led a group of people out of the conference room of the Zhaoshi Group Headquarters Building on the 42nd floor. Some CEOs in the conference room and some staff waiting outside the conference room had sarcastic smiles on their faces. When will it be the turn of a Chinese to be arrogant and arrogant on our French territory?
"Mr. Jing..." The accompanying bodyguards escorted Jing Gao to the underground parking lot. The sound of "bang bang" door closing sounded. Dong Youwei broke the slightly oppressive calm in the business car, "This Bellman is confident, and there must be someone behind him to support him."
Jing Gao looked calm and said: "We will proceed step by step according to the plan. He just delayed it for seven days and the temporary board of directors convened, which is enough to remove him."
According to his plan, the first step is to regain control of the Zhaoshi Group and clean out the insiders. At least the management needs to get rid of the moles. Then we can be consistent with the outside world. Now the control of Zhaoshi Group has not been regained. We still need to start contacting our embassy and relevant personnel from the French government. These tasks must be prepared.
Gu Xixi knew that Jing Gao looked calm, but in fact he was very angry inside. Carl Behrmann resisted and wiped out Brother Jing's face. This man is really hateful! Regardless of the laws of any country, there is no doubt that the major shareholders want to take back control of the company. Drag, what can be dragged out? Advised: "
Brother Jing, I think we still need to try to communicate with the directors privately one by one, and the benefits and promises that should be promised must be conveyed. Otherwise, we will have to consider convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. "
Xiao Gongju is very talented. Delicate temperament. The work was done very carefully.
Dong Youwei thought about it and said, "Mr. Jing, Assistant Gu said that. In this regard, Mr. Dong should be able to come up with a list after the meeting."
Jing Gao waved his hand and said forcefully: "No. I have no interest in winning over any Zhaoshi Group executives. The choice is left to them! I want to see if these foreigners are all like him." A dog can't change its habit of eating shit, and it only steals my money. We will proceed according to the plan of convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."
He has no interest in providing benefits to these executives and directors. If you don't obey or stand in line, I will replace you.
Mudd, if a great man comes to a capitalist country and has to suffer this kind of injustice, then it’s all in vain.
Gu Xixi was a little helpless and looked at Chen Qingshuang who was thinking about it. Brother Jing is so angry! Doing so will make it more difficult to solve the Zhaoshi Group's problems this time.
…
…
Karl Behrman was furious in the conference room, grabbing a small thing and roaring at Dong Lingxi. This is to scare the monkeys and warn certain directors and senior executives who are ready to take action.
As chairman and CEO, he still has a lot of power. In the past two years, he has contributed greatly to the development of Zhaoshi Group.
After scolding Dong Lingxi for a full hour, Karl Behrman announced the adjournment of the meeting, walked back to his office, took off his coat, picked up his mobile phone and made a call. He said in a faint voice: "Mr. Thomas, Chinese coming."
