v3 Chapter 818： Seize power easily

That man is his opponent, Ji Wei, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group.

In the past year, as the Jiuding Consortium continues to merge and spin-off the company, the strength of Jiuding Hotel Management Group has also expanded rapidly. It has not only owned the Marco Polo hotel brand, but also the Wenhua obtained from the spin-off of the Land Group. Hotels, and a 49% stake in the Sheraton Hotel acquired after the split from Hutchison Whampoa.

Especially the Sheraton Hotel, although only 49% of the equity, but the management power is in the hands.

In this way, several brands of Jiuding Hotel Management Group compete with Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group together.

Ji Wei is also a very hardworking person. He has launched a series of methods to compete with his peers. The effect is very significant. Because of the positioning problem, the most affected is the Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group.

Therefore, Roland 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, the opponent who has been fighting with him for a long time, Shi Shiran is sitting in his own company and talking and laughing with Liang Zhonghao, the representative of the largest shareholder, but he has not received any news before.

How can this not make Rolandz Kadoorie's heart shake.

Is it that today, the Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group, which symbolizes the honor of the Kadoorie family, will change ownership?

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

Liang Zhonghao smiled and said to Roland Kadoorie, he didn't seem to notice the weird atmosphere at all.

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

It is worth mentioning that, in order not to be exposed early, the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank has not been transferred to Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Unless it is a last resort, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank will not have a clear stand, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Roland Kadoorie. , Affecting the subsequent series of plans.

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

Roland Kadoorie quickly picked up his mood, regained his peace, 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, Roland Kadoorie, who is on the rotation, should of course take the first place, but in the general meeting of shareholders, the position can be ranked according to the level of equity.

When Roland Kadoorie took his seat, 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 should be here is here, and those who haven't come will probably not be here. The general meeting of shareholders has officially started. Now let me introduce you to the new company. shareholder."

"This is the one sitting next to me, Mr. Ji Weiji, the general manager of Jiuding Hotel Management Group. Jiuding Hotel Management Group holds 20.2% of the shares and is the second largest shareholder of the group."

"Let us welcome Mr. Ji to join our big family!"

"Papa..."

After finishing speaking, Liang Zhonghao took the lead in applauding, and the others immediately followed. Only Roland Kadoorie patted his face with an ugly expression and then stopped, looking sharply at Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei.

"Hello everyone!"

Ji Wei smiled and got up to say hello to everyone, and then took his seat again.

"Mr. Ji, I didn't expect us to sit together in this way. It surprised me."

Roland Kadoorie looked at Ji Wei and said lightly.

Ji Wei smiled faintly, and said, "Mr. Kadoorie, things are impermanent. There should be more than this one you didn't expect."

After speaking, Ji Wei ignored the solemn Roland Kadoorie and looked at Liang Zhonghao.

Liang Zhonghao understood and didn't intend to drag his feet. He pretended not to see Roland's Kadoorie's sharp gaze, and said blankly: "Next, we will officially enter the articles of association of this shareholder meeting."

"In fact, there is only one charter, and that is that the company’s operating conditions need to be improved. Although the revenue has been growing over the years, under the new situation, the growth rate is not stable and has a slowing down. Therefore, I recommend re-election. The board of directors, change the status quo of the company!"

As soon as he said this, Roland's Kadoorie's face changed drastically, 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 went to Liang's house only a few days ago, and I didn't expect to turn my face now!

Now it’s extremely dangerous. Liang Zhonghao directly tore his face. Roland Kadoorie couldn’t care about other things. He had to struggle with all his strength and directly questioned Liang Zhonghao: "Mr. Liang, I don’t agree with your proposal. The company’s current operations The situation is very good, and I am already studying a new business plan and will soon make changes. I believe no one knows the company better than I do. At this time, I recommend that the company remain as stable as possible."

At this time, Roland Kadao's ideal is procrastination, first try to stabilize Liang Zhonghao and other shareholders, and get enough time for himself.

As for the so-called plan, it is naturally an imaginary thing.

However, since the Liang family has decided to sell favors, they are also quite decisive in doing things. There is no need for Ji Wei to speak out. Liang Zhonghao directly said with a cold face: "Mr. Kadoorie, you don't have to worry, it is better to listen to everyone's opinions? What do you think?"

Ji Wei also smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Kadoorie, the company belongs to all shareholders. In terms of operation and management, it must be democratic and listen to everyone's opinions."

"Will you re-elect the board of directors? It's not enough to vote, it's a simple matter!"

"Everyone, right?"

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

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

Now it is obviously a fight between the great gods. Except for the representatives of Standard Chartered Bank, the other small shareholders dared to say anything. They all smiled and did not dare to speak. They were all worried about risks and gains and losses.

Now the new second largest shareholder obviously wears the same pair of trousers as the largest shareholder. The combined shareholding ratio of the two parties exceeds 50%. It does not matter whether these small shareholders have any opinions. The response to the situation that may arise is important.

After Ji Wei finished speaking, Liang Zhonghao ignored Roland's Kadoorie, and then he made a decision: "Mr. Ji is right. Agree or disagree. We will vote!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Roland's Kadoorie's cannibal 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 Roland Kadoorie and raised his hand in the latter's angry eyes: "I also agree to re-elect the board of directors!"

Together, the shareholding ratio has reached 51.2%!

However, if more than two-thirds of the participants in this general meeting of shareholders are present, the voting is naturally valid.

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

Upon seeing this, the representative of Standard Chartered Bank smiled helplessly: "It seems that it doesn't matter whether I vote or not. I want to say that I am satisfied with Mr. Roland's Kadoorie's management, but I am satisfied with Mr. Liang's proposal. I also look forward to changing the business model. This is a difficult choice. Anyway, Standard Chartered Bank does not intervene in its operations and only waits for dividends. Therefore, I choose to abstain!"

Although the representative of Standard Chartered Bank abstained, compared with other people's consent, the abstention of Standard Chartered Bank is already invaluable. Therefore, Roland Kadoorie has a trace of comfort and even a trace of gratitude in his face.

Roland Kadoorie also understands the choice of Standard Chartered Bank. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, the best choice is to support the major shareholders and the second shareholders. Choosing to oppose it is the most unwise, and choosing to abstain can be considered a face-off.

"Okay, now counting votes!"

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. It is elected by the general meeting of shareholders and is responsible to the general meeting of shareholders. In terms of counting votes, he, the chairman of the board of supervisors, should be present.

Soon, according to everyone's shareholding ratio, the statistics will be quickly obtained.

The number of votes that agreed to re-elect the board of directors accounted for 68.2%. This proposal passed!

Liang Zhonghao immediately made a decision and said: "Agreeing votes accounted for 68.2% of the votes. The proposal is approved. From now on, the previous board of directors is dissolved and the board of directors is re-elected!"

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

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

Excluding the shares of Liang Zhonghao and Ji Wei, even if the shares of others are used collectively, they can only have at most nine director seats, which is still less than two.

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

A similar scene happened again.

This is simply not letting people play.

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

Next, Liang Zhonghao continued to push forward. The shareholders present who had a seat on the board of directors voted again. More than half of the board voted in agreement and passed Liang Zhonghao's proposal for Ji Wei to be the chairman of the new board of directors.

In less than an hour, the name of the chairman of the board of directors was transferred from Roland's Kadoorie to Ji Wei.

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

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

Rolandz Kadoorie looked at the two sarcastically, and said with a sneer: "Why, do you have any plans against me?"

Ji Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Kadoorie, you can't say that. In fact, I just have a proposal. I hope you will sell me the shares of Xiangjiang Shanghu Hotel Group."
