Chapter 422 Board of Directors

Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, Tang Shuo got off the car and prepared to ask Jiang Tiantong about the real purpose of his trip.

Before he could speak, Jiang Tiantong asked first: "Do you think I am a bad woman?"

Tang Shuo frowned, not knowing why Jiang Tiantong would raise such a question.

"Why do you ask that?" Tang Shuo asked puzzledly.

"No matter what others say about me, I don't want you to think so." Jiang Tiantong answered very seriously and walked forward quickly.

Tang Shuo glanced at Du Bing, who was following behind the two of them, and asked, "What happened today?"

Du Bing hesitated for a moment. Then he replied, "The Song family's board of directors!"

This seemed to be a common problem among Jiang Tiantong's secretaries. Du Bing, like Jia Ting, had no fondness for Tang Shuo. However, Tang Shuo had now become Jiang Tiantong's fiancé. Although he was suspected of being a gigolo, Du Bing couldn't continue to treat him the same way as before.

Tang Shuo was naturally aware of the Song family's listing, and it was normal for the other party to hold a board meeting, but why would Jiang Tiantong come to the Song family at this time?

Tang Shuo immediately caught up with Jiang Tiantong and stood guard beside her with a vigilant look on his face.

…

Yigo International Building.

The Yigo International Building was funded and built by the Song family, and houses offices of five companies.

These five companies were previously the property of the Song family. When they were listed this time, these five companies were bundled together with the Song family's pillar industries for listing. Therefore, when Song Wenchang chose the location for the first meeting after the companies went public, he chose this as the venue.

In the lobby of the building, Song Wenchang, dressed in formal attire, greeted several middle-aged men with a smile on his face.

The Song family diluted their stake by 30%, issuing 6 million shares and raising nearly 90 billion in assets. The remaining 70% was held by the Song family, effectively maintaining a controlling stake in the company.

When Jiang Tiantong appeared in the hall, Song Wenchang was shaking hands with a man in a blue suit.

When Song Wenchang saw Jiang Tiantong, his face suddenly lit up with joy. However, his smile froze before it could even begin to grow.

Why is Tang Shuo here too?

At first, Song Wenchang thought that Jiang Tiantong had come to see him specially, but he didn't expect that Tang Shuo was following her.

The middle-aged man in the suit was about to pull his hand back, but he found that Song Wenchang not only had no intention of letting go, but instead held his hand even tighter.

cough……

Hearing the middle-aged man's cough, Song Wenchang suddenly woke up, smiled awkwardly at the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. Zhu, let's talk later. A friend of mine came over here."

Mr. Zhu nodded and then walked towards the conference room upstairs.

Song Wenchang adjusted his mood, straightened his suit, and walked towards Jiang Tiantong who was walking towards him.

"Tiantong. Why are you here?" Song Wenchang stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'll hold the board meeting." Jiang Tiantong replied.

Song Wenchang frowned and asked, "You?"

Jiang Tiantong nodded and replied, "I hold 5% of the shares. Does that make me a shareholder?"

Song Wenchang took a deep breath and nodded, "Of course."

At this time, a young man walked towards Song Wenchang's position and whispered beside him, "Mr. Song, the time is almost up."

Song Wenchang nodded and said to Jiang Tiantong calmly, "Boss Jiang, I'll go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wenchang turned and walked upstairs. At the same time, his face was livid as he said to the secretary beside him: "Go check and see how Jiang Tiantong acquired the shares."

In terms of actual impact, Jiang Tiantong's shares were not enough to stir up any waves. However, Song Wenchang did not dare to underestimate it.

When choosing the right time to go public, Song Wenchang had carefully considered the shareholders who were acquiring the shares. However, Jiang Tiantong didn't appear in the information at the time, so Song Wenchang didn't think much about it.

After all, the Jiang family’s investment in that matter must have been huge, and they didn’t have much money on hand.

So where exactly did the problem arise?

…

conference room.

After everyone was seated, Song Wenchang sat on the podium and spoke: "Today is the first board meeting of our Beichen Group. First of all, on behalf of Beichen Group, I would like to thank everyone for their investment."

Although he was still very confused about the purpose of Jiang Tiantong's visit, Song Wenchang had to hide his negative emotions and concentrate on presiding over the board meeting.

Not only Song Wenchang, but even Tang Shuo who was sitting next to Jiang Tiantong was very confused about this matter.

After a round of applause, Song Wenchang continued, "First, let me introduce the company's structure and development plan to all shareholders."

After Song Wenchang finished his detailed introduction, he continued, "Now, please allow the group's vice president, Song Zhibin, to speak."

Song Zhibin is a distant cousin of Song Wenchang. He is very capable, so he was promoted to vice president of the company.

As soon as Song Wenchang stepped down from the podium, his secretary quietly walked up to him and handed a document to him.

After Song Wenchang finished reading the information in his hand, his face no longer had any anger. He clenched his fists and glanced at Jiang Tiantong's position with an angry look.

Song Zhibin spoke quickly. After he finished, he followed the pre-arranged schedule and said, "Next is the shareholder Q&A session. If you have any questions about the company's development direction, please feel free to ask. I will answer them on the spot."

Several CEOs who were sitting in the shareholder seats like Jiang Tiantong looked at each other, and then a slightly fat man stood up and asked about the information of some subsidiaries of the company that had not been listed but had close ties with the company.

This can be said to be the topic that the shareholders present are most concerned about.

During the listing process, the Song family split up the industries of several subsidiaries that originally belonged to the Song family, but these companies have very close interests with their parent company, Beichen Group.

For Song Wenchang, this part of the benefits was transferred from his left hand to his right hand, but it did actually damage their interests.

The Song family had certainly considered this issue beforehand, and Song Zhibin followed the pre-planned answer and gave a detailed explanation to everyone.

Then he looked at the audience with a smile and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Then two more men stood up and asked two questions. Song Zhibin answered them flawlessly. Just as he was about to end the session, a middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up and said, "As far as I know, Beichen Group encountered a serious financial crisis a few days ago, which is why President Song decided to go public."

Before the middle-aged man with glasses finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out on the field.

Song Wenchang, who was sitting in the front row, had a gloomy face. He knew that the biggest crisis in the history of the Song family was about to come.

The bespectacled middle-aged man continued, "I have an opinion on whether Mr. Song Wenchang is qualified to serve as the company's CEO."

Tang Shuo, who was sitting next to Jiang Tiantong, was also surprised by the words of the man with glasses. Is he trying to force the emperor to abdicate?

However, since the Song family holds absolute control, this method can only serve to disgust the other party and has no practical significance at all, unless Jiang Tiantong has already bribed more than half of the shareholders.

As soon as the man with glasses finished speaking, a woman sitting next to him stood up and said, "I doubt this too."

"Me too!"

“…”

Song Zhibin, who was standing on the stage, had never expected this to happen. He looked at Song Wenchang's face in panic.

Even though he knew that these people's opposition would have no effect at all, the current situation was not something he could handle.

Song Wenchang stood up and walked onto the stage, his face livid. He said to the audience, "I'm sorry that everyone has such opinions. According to company regulations, we can vote by show of hands. If more than half of the people question my ability, I will voluntarily resign the position of president."

"Next, those who have doubts about my personal abilities, please raise your hands!"
