Not to mention Ye Chen, even the other senior executives in the video conference were somewhat disgusted by Gerald Herbert's move.
However, given Gerard Herbert's status as the group's second-largest shareholder, they couldn't say anything and could only watch Gerard Herbert's performance.
“Since Mr. Gerald Herb is so happy, let me tell you another piece of good news.”
Ye Chen spoke with a smile.
"Good news?"
Gerald Herbert became interested.
"you say."
Who wouldn't want to hear good news?
“Just now, you have fallen from the group’s second-largest shareholder to the third-largest shareholder.”
Ye Chen answered.
"What?!"
"They've fallen to become the third-largest shareholder?!"
Gerald Herbert was taken aback by Ye Chen's words.
Is this good news?!
The attention of the other executives present also instantly shifted to Ye Chen.
"You mean you've surpassed me and become the group's second-largest shareholder?!"
Gerald Herbert countered with a question.
"No."
Ye Chen shook his head.
Upon seeing this, Gerald Herbert breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Ye Chen hadn't replaced him.
But that doesn't make sense either.
Besides Ye Chen, who else has the ability to surpass me and become the second largest shareholder?
Just as Gerald Herbert was completely bewildered, Ye Chen slowly added:
To be more precise, Mr. Antonio and I are currently tied as the group's largest shareholders!!!
He owns the same number of shares as Antonio, so he is not the second largest shareholder.
As soon as Ye Chen uttered those words, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Ye Chen has also become the group's largest shareholder?!
The news was so shocking that they could hardly believe it.
Instantly, no one cared about the content of the group meeting anymore; this "prelude" was simply explosive.
Compared to this news, the other topics we need to discuss are not so important.
"You've become the largest shareholder too?!"
"How is this possible?!"
“Antonio owns 32% of the group’s shares, while you only owned 23% until yesterday.”
"Your shares increased by 9% in just one day? Are you kidding me?!"
Gerald Herbert sneered, not believing Ye Chen's words at all.
He believed that if Ye Chen's shares increased by 1%, 2%, or even 3%, it would be acceptable.
But only one day has passed, or more accurately, less than a day, probably only ten or twenty hours.
Ye Chen's shareholding surged from 23% to 32%.
Do they really think Kering, the world's third-largest company, is a small company?!
This kid is a real braggart.
"That... what shareholder Herbert... said just now... is indeed true..."
However, before Gerald Herbert could finish speaking, voices refuting him emerged.
This time, it was Antonio who spoke up personally.
At this moment, Antonio's voice was also trembling; he was equally shocked by the news.
Just moments ago, Ye Chen was the third-ranking figure in the group, but in the blink of an eye, he became someone on equal footing with him. Even Antonio was a little taken aback.
Although he was incredibly surprised, the latest information he had just received would not deceive him.
"Really... he's telling the truth..."
Gerald Herbert's body trembled uncontrollably.
Ye Chen suddenly became the largest shareholder?!
Gerald Herbert's eyes widened as he stared intently at Ye Chen.
At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten even to breathe.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye."
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye."
"President Ye is amazing."
............
After recovering from their shock, the higher-ups hurriedly congratulated Ye Chen and spared no effort in trying to curry favor with him.
“Gerald Herbert, you just went too far.”
"Exactly! Mr. Ye is so low-key, how could you speak of him like that? It's utterly rude!!!"
"I feel deeply ashamed to know you..."
After congratulating Ye Chen, several people immediately went to attack Gerald Herbert.
Previously, these people were echoing Gerald Herbert and Yin Yang Ye Chen, but in the blink of an eye, they turned their guns on each other.
Gerald Herbert became even angrier at the sight of those reprimanding him.
These people used to be very respectful to him and followed his lead, but in the blink of an eye, they have become like this.
"You...you..."
Gerald Herbert pointed at these people, his anger barely contained.
Glug!
Due to his advanced age and excessive emotional state, Gerald Herbert felt his vision go black and collapsed on the table before he could finish speaking.
The butler immediately took Gerald Herbert to the hospital.
The video conference at Kering Group continued, but because of Ye Chen's situation, many people's attention was no longer on the video conference.
Therefore, the video conference ended hastily after only discussing some important matters.
Just as Ye Chen was about to leave like the other executives, Antonio suddenly spoke up, stopping Ye Chen:
"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment."
"I have something I'd like to tell you."
