Chapter 486 The Backyard Is on Fire
Tang Chen drank half a bottle of water in one go. Fang Li turned her head and saw that his clean white shirt collar was soaked with sweat. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had just run a marathon.
"Didn't I say I'd attend the shareholders' meeting?"
"Does President Tang own shares in Han's Group?" Han Ming asked directly.
Tang Chen screwed the bottle cap on, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times before answering, "Yes."
His tone was as if he were talking about something trivial. With a nonchalant expression, he pulled a crumpled envelope from his inner pocket, tossed it on the table, and said, "It's not much, just thirteen percent."
"What did you say?!"
Han Shuo accidentally knocked over the water bottle next to him, but fortunately the water was already wrung out and didn't spill.
"That's impossible! The Han family's remaining shares are at most..."
"11.7%, right?"
Tang Chen replied with a smile, "That's indeed the case with your finance department's data."
He pulled out the document and unfolded it, "But I started collecting it three years ago. Back then, the stock price was so cute, only 2.7 yuan per share."
As the documents began to circulate, the temperature in the conference room seemed to drop ten degrees.
The share registration form clearly shows that Tang Chen acquired the shares in batches through seven offshore accounts, with the earliest transaction dating back to the year Han Xi took over the group.
Xu Fangli gently curled the corners of her lips: "President Tang is so patient."
"good."
Tang Chen winked at her, "The main reason is that Han Xi's commission is high enough."
As he spoke, he leaned close to Fang Li's ear and whispered, "The one who's truly patient is your man. Don't let his serious demeanor fool you; he's got a dark heart. Miss Xu, you'd better be careful."
Fang Li turned her head and met the man's gently blinking eyes.
Finally, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Xie."
The two men smiled at each other. Everyone in the room was so surprised by Tang Chen's arrival and the shares he held that no one noticed the two men.
However, on the other side of the camera, someone's dark eyes had already narrowed slightly.
Jian Yunqi watched, a gloating smile creeping onto his lips.
"You're so smug now, aren't you? Your own backyard's on fire."
“…”
"That Tang Chen, could he have been harboring ulterior motives all along? He's actually flirting with your wife, smugly thinking he has a pair of seductive eyes?"
Han Xi finally turned his head and gave him a cold glance.
Jian Yunqi immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Fine, I'll shut up."
Meeting place.
Han Ming slammed the document on the table and braced his hands on it, saying, "Even with this thirteen percent added, I still have fifty-one percent. It seems that President Tang can't change anything!"
Tang Chen looked away and turned to him.
Han Ming was getting anxious inside, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
He turned to his secretary and said, "Continue the voting process!"
"No hurries."
Tang Chen pulled another brown paper bag from his briefcase. "Who said I only have this thirteen percent? Chairman Han, why don't you take a look at this first?"
Again? !
The shareholders and senior executives below were dumbfounded.
One wave after another, thankfully no one had a heart condition, otherwise, with these successive changes, some people might have fainted!
This time, instead of letting Han Ming see it directly, Deng Xiulin stepped forward, took the document bag, and unfolded the agreement inside.
As a lawyer, his voice was as calm as a still well, giving people an inexplicable sense of credibility: "The transfer agreement for 25% of Han's shares under Mr. Han Xi's name, the transferee is Tang Chen, and the notarization date is this morning."
Dead silence.
So when Tang Chen said he was late because he went to pick something up, it wasn't the 13% of scattered shares he had previously acquired, but rather the 25% share transfer agreement held by Han Xi!
Did Han Xi already know they wouldn't acknowledge the agency agreement given to Xu Fangli, so he temporarily transferred his shares to Tang Chen?
But Tang Chen is, after all, an outsider!
With so many shares, isn't he afraid that Tang Chen will take the opportunity to swallow up the Han family's assets?
Han Ming's face lost its color at a visible speed.
He mechanically took the document, and when he saw Han Xi's handwritten signature at the end, his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
He'd rather believe a stranger than him?!
Twenty-five percent plus thirteen percent, thirty-eight percent... This already exceeds the sum of his own thirteen percent plus Han Shuo's five percent.
"Now."
Tang Chen crossed his legs and casually rested his hand on the conference table. "Shouldn't we recount the votes?"
Han Ming: "......"
After a long silence, the numbers on the electronic vote counting screen began to jump again.
This time, Fang Li directly voted for Tang Chen, and then several small shareholders who had not previously expressed their opinions also voted for Tang Chen, instantly pushing the approval rating above 49%.
Seeing the vote counter barely stop, Han Ming's face darkened, and he grasped at the last straw: "Sheng Jinghui's three percent hasn't been voted on yet! According to the agreement..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Chen interrupted him again.
"Oh, that one."
Tang Chen produced another document as if by magic, saying, "Half a month ago, Chairman Sheng used three percent of Han's shares plus the land in the north of the city to exchange for our X Group's 2 billion yuan investment in Shengshi Group."
He looked at him with sympathy. "You don't know? The Sheng family's cash flow has been cut off for almost three months. As a former friend, Chairman Han, hasn't he even bothered to check on things?"
The document was passed around among the people again, with Sheng Jinghui's signature in a flamboyant style and the official seal of Shengshi Group affixed to it.
Han Ming was struck dumb. That piece of land in the north of the city was Sheng Jinghui's most valuable possession. Even though countless people had tried to take it from him back then, he held on tightly and never let go. Now, it was...
Xu Fangli slowly stood up: "Chairman Han, with the addition of the three percent from Shengshi Group, President Tang's shareholding has exceeded fifty percent. According to Han's internal regulations, shouldn't the executive director be appointed?"
The vote count screen finally settled at 15.27%.
Han Ming froze completely, unable to utter a single word.
His gaze was like poison, fixed intently on Fang Li.
Fang Li ignored his gaze, surveyed the silent crowd, and gently tapped the microphone: "I hereby announce that the new executive director of the Han Group is President Tang Chen!"
This is the result.
With the shareholding percentage and approval ratings set in stone, no one can say anything more.
The secretary in charge of recording the votes prepared and handed them over.
Tang Chen took it, looked at two items, and casually tossed it to Xu Fangli next to him.
"I have something to do, do you want to come together?"
The executive directors have been elected, and the shareholders' meeting is now over.
Fang Li glanced at Han Ming, who was standing there like a fool, and her gaze swept over Han Shuo's face, who was staring at her with a cold and probing look.
She stood up: "Okay, let's go together."
Tang Chen stood up, buttoning his shirt and smiling as he reached out to Han Ming, "I'll still need Chairman Han's support in the future, and I'll be more accommodating to the Han family."
"..." Han Ming gritted his teeth.
