Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 490 Hedong Chamber of Commerce is our own people
In the auditorium, the shareholder representatives lowered their heads and muttered to each other.

The 'accident' that happened in today's conference was really too unexpected.

Ning Minghao and Wang Chunliang never expected that King Zhou of Copper, who was supposed to remain neutral, would suddenly "turn against" them and transfer all of his shares to the Huajin Group.

Wang Quan and Ji Dong did not expect that a hostile Manjue Capital would suddenly emerge, and the other party's shareholding ratio had reached 17%.

As a result, the plan to obtain controlling rights with 30% became a bubble, and the progress bar to become a controlling shareholder was once again infinitely lengthened.

Wang Quan on the stage seemed unaffected. After introducing the equity changes into the microphone, he revealed his true colors again:
"Considering that Director Cui Peng will leave our bank after the transfer of shares by Xingwei Group, the former largest shareholder of Mule Bank, is completed, and that Director Wei Chenghai will resign from his position as a director at the end of the month due to his advanced age, the shareholders' meeting will now vote on the list of director candidates recommended by Huajin Group."

According to Mule Bank’s Articles of Association, the appointment of senior executives and formulation of general development directions are mainly decided by the board of directors.

Mule Bank's board of directors has seven members.

There is one chairman, one vice chairman and five directors.

Before Wang Quan returned, Ning Minghao undoubtedly controlled the overall situation of the board of directors.

However, with Wang Quan's resurgence, the bank's largest shareholder gradually fell into the hands of others, and some board members, including the vice chairman, who had previously been law-abiding and silent, began to stand against Ning Minghao.

Apart from the seemingly neutral director who represented the interests of King Bronze Zhou, the remaining six members of the board formed a 4:2 factional confrontation, with Ning Minghao's side having the advantage in numbers.

Therefore, at this time Wang Quan urgently hopes that the two people recommended by Huajin Group can pass the vote of the shareholders' meeting and successfully enter the board of directors to replace the original two people.

In this way, the original unfavorable situation of 2:4 was naturally reversed into a favorable situation of 4:3.

As for the voting process of the next shareholders' meeting
Wang Quan glanced at the shareholder representatives in the audience, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Poor Chairman Ning probably doesn't know that some shareholders with state-owned backgrounds who originally seemed to maintain a neutral stance are actually leaning towards the Huajin Group. Oh, no, to be precise, they are leaning towards that elder.

In addition, although the many members of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce do not hold many shares of Mule Bank individually, their combined share exceeds 10%, which is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

Ning Minghao had a bad relationship with the Hedong Chamber of Commerce, so this force naturally stood on the side of the Huajin Group at the critical moment.

In addition, Huajin Group holds nearly 30% of the voting rights, which means it actually exceeds half.
"Wang Quan, since this is a list of candidates, you can't take out two spots and add another runner-up to select two people, right? That would be criticized by the outside world. It just so happens that Manjue Capital has also applied for a board seat."

Ning Minghao instructed the secretary of the shareholders' meeting to add two more people to the candidate list and supplemented the corresponding profiles and other information.

Wang Quan did not stop the other party. He smiled and shook his head, thinking that the result of the subsequent vote would definitely give Ning Minghao a loud slap in the face.

The cumulative voting results were quickly counted, and someone was indeed slapped, but that person was not Ning Minghao but Wang Quan.

Ning Minghao and Wang Quan each got one of the two board seats.

4: 3.

After all the trouble, Ning Minghao's side still has a slight advantage in the board of directors.

Ning Minghao approached Wang Quan and whispered:

"It seems that both sides are equally matched. This is good, as it can send a signal to outside investors that there is no insider manipulation in the election of our bank's board seats."

Wang Quan's face didn't look very good. There would be no problems with the Huajin system, and there would be no problems with those state-owned enterprises.

Could it be that the problem lies with the members of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce?
It's impossible. I am the honorary vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and have close relations with all members.

Could it be Wang Chunliang, or Xia Minghui behind him?
That's even more impossible. Xia Minghui is just a junior in the Hedong Chamber of Commerce. How can he influence such a big situation?

Who is it?

Wang Quan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Chunliang who was not far away from the stage.

The latter looked calm, but his heart was full of doubts.

Because he received a text message from Ning Minghao half an hour ago:

"Don't worry, the Hedong Chamber of Commerce is on our side."

Hedong Chamber of Commerce?

How come they suddenly sided with themselves in today's vote?
And how did the future father-in-law know this news? Doesn’t he have a conflict with the other party?

Two months ago, on June 6, the day after Wang Chunliang returned to Hedong from the imperial capital.

In the evening, he came to the second young lady's villa.

Although the second young lady herself is already in the Ugly Country, she is preparing to acquire shares in the Mule Bank.

But Wang Chunliang did not come here to find the second young lady this time, but to visit Comrade Lao Xia.

To be more precise, he was seeking help from the other party and asking him to introduce him to some uncles. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xia Minghui sitting at the head of the dining table with a rich meal in front of him.

After seeing Wang Chunliang, Xia Minghui waved:
"Come here and try your sister Xia's cooking."

Wang Chunliang greeted Sister Xia who was busy in the kitchen, then sat next to Xia Minghui and asked in confusion:

"Don't you have to have dinner with those uncles tonight?"

"Those old men are very particular about health preservation. Unless it is necessary, they basically don't eat dinner out."

Xia Minghui turned his head and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then lowered his voice and continued, "I made an appointment with them for an after-dinner activity at Guiren Building."

hiss--

What happened to the focus on health preservation?

When Sister Xia came out of the kitchen carrying the last two dishes, Wang Chunliang and Xia Minghui shut their mouths in tacit understanding.

After a warm dinner, the two of them and the dog sneaked into Lao Xia’s special car and headed to Guirenlou.

The car had just started driving for a while when Xia Minghui stressed again with concern:

"I'll take you to meet the real big guys in Shuanghe Province. I think your idea is a bit risky. These people don't care about the shares in their hands, but the face issue. So you have to..."

About half an hour later, since the guard recognized Mr. Xia's mount, the car stopped directly in front of the Guiren Building.

Xia Minghui waved his hand and refused the receptionist's offer.

Nonsense, he is almost half the owner of this place, so why would he need anyone to lead the way back home?

Wang Chunliang was led by him to the third floor, but he did not enter the big door that Wang Quan led him in last time. Instead, he went straight to an inconspicuous small door.

Xia Minghui gave Wang Chunliang a mysterious and proud smile, and then took out an access card from his pocket.

Swipe the card and the door opens automatically.

Wang Chunliang followed Xia Minghui across a small indoor bridge and flowing water, then pushed open a door and the view in front of him suddenly became bright.

Like the regular 'viewing area' on the third floor, there is also a huge transparent glass wall here.

Through the glass, you can clearly see several young girls showing off their extraordinary talents on the stage.

However, there was no one in this room who appreciated the talent downstairs. Three big guys with strong aura were studying the jade mahjong in their hands.

Seeing Xia Minghui's arrival, the man sitting in the north said:

"Minghui, why are you so slow? We are short of one and have been waiting for you!"

"Oh, President Sun, you guys came too early and took up all the good feng shui locations."

After that, he pulled Wang Chunliang from behind to the front and introduced him to the three big guys, "I have reported to the brothers on the phone. I will bring the younger generation to introduce him to the family in the evening. This child..."

The elder known as President Sun raised his eyelids, pointed at the mahjong table without waiting for Xia Minghui to finish his introduction, and said, "I will not allow you to refuse."

"Stop talking so much. My hands are itching. Let's play two games first. The rule here is that newcomers have to pass the test of us old guys before we can talk about the next thing."

Wang Chunliang doesn't like playing cards, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to play.

On the contrary, because he majored in mathematics in his undergraduate studies and economics in his master's studies, he dealt with numbers all day long, so his ability to remember and count cards is outstanding, and playing mahjong or poker is like using a cheat code.

After a few rounds, President Sun grinned and said:
"Minghui, you should come. This kid is really good. He deliberately fed us Zhang and took care of everyone equally. Not bad. Tell me, you specially invited us here tonight. Is there anything you can help with?"

After Xia Minghui's prior introduction, Wang Chunliang knew that this President Sun was none other than Sun Maoyuan, the president of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce. He was an entrepreneur ranked very high in Shuanghe Province. He was involved in numerous industries and had assets both at home and abroad. What attracted Wang Chunliang the most was of course the 3.5% stake in Mule Bank held by his company.

Jin Dongxing sitting on the east and Si Tianrong sitting on the west are also veterans of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce, holding 2.5% and 2% of the shares of Mule Bank respectively.

These are exactly the ultimate purposes of Wang Chunliang asking Xia Minghui to invite a few people here tonight.

But when Wang Chunliang used sweet words and offered a price slightly higher than the market price to express his intention to acquire the company, Chairman Sun directly rejected the offer on behalf of the other two people:

"No need to discuss this. Mule Bank's shares cannot be touched."

Wang Chunliang was well prepared and proposed through Xia Minghui the plan to have the three of them invest in Manjue Capital.

In this way, the three of them became co-actors with Manjue Capital.
However, when Wang Chunliang was about to reveal part of Manjue Capital's plan to acquire Mule Bank's shares, Chairman Sun once again ruthlessly rejected the proposal.

"Don't waste your energy. Didn't Minghui tell you that Wang Quan is the vice president of our Hedong Chamber of Commerce?"
