In the spacious conference room of the China Gas Company headquarters, a solemn board meeting is being held.
The conference room is elegantly decorated with comfortable chairs on both sides of the long table.
Historical photos and certificates of honor of the company are hung on the walls, highlighting the company's glorious history and outstanding achievements.
As time went on, the directors entered the meeting room one after another.
There were seven directors present today, namely Chairman of the Board Li Shau-kee, Executive Director Tung Siu-man, and Director Zhuang Liangcai representing Henderson Land Development.
Li Zhizhong, son of director Li Mingze, Lai An, director of Hong Kong Land Development, Li Zhihui, shareholder representative, and Qian Yulan, employee representative.
In addition, three new faces were welcomed: Mo Zhexuan, and two representatives sent from Deep Sea Holdings, namely Li Guoqiang and Zhang Ning.
The meeting minutes were taken by the company secretary Zhang Yuxia, who had already prepared a notebook and recording equipment, ready to record every agenda item and discussion content of the meeting in detail.
After a brief opening speech, the current chairman of the board, Li Zhaoji, got straight to the point:
"Dear directors, I have gathered you here today because I have an important announcement to make. After careful consideration, I have decided to resign as Chairman of the Board."
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone present looked at their noses, noses at their mouths, and mouths at their hearts. No one was surprised, because Mo Zhexuan held more than 51% of the shares, which was equivalent to having absolute control.
The current era is not like the Internet era of later generations. The founders of a company only hold a small number of shares and want to have absolute voice and decision-making power through a partnership system. First of all, the laws of the China Securities Regulatory Commission will not allow this.
Lee Shau-kee continued: "During my tenure, I have received the full support and trust of all directors, for which I am deeply honored.
However, considering the long-term development of the company and my personal circumstances, I believe it is time to seek new leadership for the company."
Li Ka-shing then turned his gaze to Mo Zhexuan, his tone revealing admiration and trust: "After I resigned as chairman, I strongly recommended Mr. Mo Zhexuan to take over this important position.
As the company's major shareholder, he not only has rich business experience and outstanding leadership skills, but also has a deep understanding and unique insights into the company's development.
I believe that under his leadership, the company will usher in an even brighter future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Mo Zhexuan with smiles on their faces and applauded. The applause was so warm and long-lasting that it seemed to shake the entire conference room.
Mo Zhexuan immediately stood up, thanked everyone, and made some polite remarks about what he would do after becoming chairman. In the end, he was elected as the new chairman of the board of directors of China Gas Company as expected.
Several topics were discussed and elections were held afterwards. Zhuang Liangcai, the representative director of Henderson Land Development, resigned as a director, and Li Guoqiang and Zhang Ning of Deep Ocean Holdings were successfully elected as directors.
Zhang Ning also successfully joined the company's audit committee, specifically responsible for ensuring the effective implementation of the company's internal and external audit work.
After the meeting ended successfully, Mo Zhexuan had a friendly and in-depth exchange with all shareholders, and then personally saw them off one by one. Just as he and Dong Shaowen arrived at his chairman's office to prepare for a conversation, Ryan, the representative of Hutchison Whampoa, came back again, apparently with important matters to discuss.
"Mr. Mo, let me ask you directly, was it you who leaked the news that Hongkong Land has a debt of HK$15 billion?" Ryan asked straight to the point.
"Mr. Ryan! I also got this news from the newspaper this morning. I just concluded that someone must be behind this and wants to short sell Jardine Matheson and Hutchison Whampoa."
After Mo Zhexuan learned the news through the newspaper today, he was also very puzzled. Someone must have discovered the debt of Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate and was preparing to make a fortune secretly.
"If you really want to find the culprit, with Jardine Matheson's power, you will definitely be able to find out. Then it will be clear who leaked it."
"Then are you still interested in the 20% shares of China Gas Company held by Jardine Matheson?" Ryan stopped talking about this topic and asked the real purpose.
"Of course I'm interested, but I don't have the ability right now, so I can't take over this part of the shares." Mo Zhexuan said with a wry smile. If he had money, Jardine Matheson would probably spend 800 million. Now the offensive and defensive situation is different.
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Ryan nodded and prepared to leave.
Mo Zhexuan personally stood up and escorted him out of the office, and then asked Zhang Ning to personally see off the representative of this place. Proper etiquette should be followed.
After a while, General Manager Dong Shaowen came to pay a visit in person with a stack of documents. He was feeling very nervous now. If he couldn't win the trust of the chairman of the board, he would not be able to hold his position for long. That was certain.
"Mr. Mo, this is the status of all the assets of China Gas Company."
"Don't stand! Sit down!" After Mo Zhexuan invited him to sit down, he started to look at the pile of documents with Li Guoqiang and Zhang Ning who had just arrived.
As for Dong Shaowen, he will definitely not make any move now. After all, he is not familiar with the situation of China Gas Company, so how could he dare to make a sudden move right away?
The most important thing now is stability and a good understanding of all aspects of the China Gas Company. If this guy is disobedient and dares to pretend to obey but actually go against his will, it will not be too late to take his position.
The China Gas Company owns four gas plants. The first of these, a pioneer in Asia, is located on Whitney Street in the western corner of Hong Kong Island.
Since its establishment, it has been committed to providing gas lighting services to some well-known companies in Hong Kong such as Jardine Matheson, Watsons, and Wheelock.
