Chapter 283 - Changes in the Board
Guangbo was the third largest stockholder of the company, the one with the most power after Pengzhan and Jin Maosheng. There shouldn't be any objections from the other shareholders when Pengzhan suggested that he take over the entertainment business!
Raising their hands against Pengzhan's suggestion would get them into Gubang's good graces, but they'd be offending both Guangbo and Pengzhan at the same time. The other shareholders wouldn't be able to make a decision like that.
It was a smart move Pengzhan had made as well, transferring power to another major stockholder, leaving Gubang and the other shareholders with nothing to say. It was a flawless move!
But, while it was a smart move, Pengzhan had miscalculated!
Gubang paused at the suggestion, but his heart was bursting with joy! Pengzhan, you old fox! You've been plotting to weaken my power all this time, but now?
If you'd really forcefully taken back my power, the board would've approved it. After all, you're the chairman, and the other shareholders wouldn't be able to go against you. At most, you'd just leave a strong impression! But now, you're giving the entertainment business to Guangbo?
Hahahaha! Gubang almost laughed out loud. This Guangbo was the ultimate trump card of his side, the final trump card!
In actuality, getting this trump card was a complete fluke. If Pengzhan had made his move a few days earlier, Gubang really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. After all, he hadn't been friends with Guangbo back then.
But now, Guangbo needed his help. Without his help, he wouldn't be able to have a son!
Guangbo had a son abroad, spending his days in casinos and gambling. Not only did he owe a lot of money, but he'd also gotten into a drug habit, owing hundreds of millions of yuan to loan sharks!
Guangbo was the third largest stockholder of the company, but he didn't have a lot of cash on hand. Most of his assets were stocks and real estate, and it was impossible for him to take out hundreds of millions of yuan to pay off his son's debt!
But the money had to be returned! His son was abroad, under the control of a local gang. If he didn't get the money in a month, they'd break his son's arms and legs!
Guangbo had no choice but to use his position as the supervisor of the company's finance department to embezzle a sum of money and return it when he had enough.
Although he was in charge of the finance department, it was impossible to use such a large sum of money without the signature of the chairman or vice chairman. He didn't dare tell Pengzhan, so he could only place his hopes on Gubang.
Naturally, he didn't dare say it out loud, either. He'd only mentioned it to Gubang in a roundabout way, not expecting the two to hit it off so well! Gubang didn't have any other requests. He only hoped that Guangbo would help him when he needed it!
Guangbo knows this is what they call choosing sides. Normally, the three major shareholders of a company are relatively independent, and if any two shareholders are too close, it will be a threat to the other shareholders.
However, Guangbo had no other choice. His son's life was more important than anything else. If his son died, everything would be over. No matter how much money he earned, it would be useless. He had already lived for more than half of his life. How much more could he spend in the remaining days? Wouldn't it still be left for their children and grandchildren? He'd lost his son, not to mention his grandson!
And so, Guangbo made a difficult decision- he'd completely side with Gubang- he knew very well what that meant! Gubang's request was a clear signal to Guangbo that he was ready to fight for power with Pengzhan.
Guangbo didn't expect that Pengzhan would make things difficult for Gubang so soon, and that he'd be the one to benefit from it! Guangbo wouldn't have rejected something like this in the past, but he didn't dare accept it now!
He'd already formed an alliance with Gubang- he had to consider Gubang's interests at all times. He raised his head to look at Gubang- Gubang was looking back at him, and he nodded subtly to show that he understood.
Gubang's smile deepened as he continued Pengzhan's words. "Haha, Chairman Chu's words do make sense, but I won't say anything since this concerns me."
Pengzhan paused after listening to Gubang- he'd thought that Gubang would be the first to jump out and object, but he'd chosen to remain silent and give up! Then this attitude was a little ambiguous!
Could it be that Gubang didn't have anything on the entertainment side, and wasn't afraid of Pengzhan catching him? Pengzhan frowned- something must've gone wrong in the board meeting. But he couldn't figure out what the problem was, either.
Since Gubang didn't object, the other board members naturally didn't object to Pengzhan's suggestion! No one would want to offend Pengzhan if you didn't object to it yourself.
And so, without a doubt, the board of directors approved Pengzhan's suggestion to lighten Gubang's burden.
"Haha, since there's no objection, then we'll leave the entertainment side of the company to Chairman Xie." Pengzhan wasn't expecting the board meeting to go so well- it was a little odd, but weakening Gubang's power was still a good thing.
"Chairman Chu, as the person involved, shouldn't I make a suggestion?" Guangbo spoke up faintly.
"Oh?" Pengzhan paused, his heart skipping a beat. "What do you want to say, Chairman Xie?"
"Haha, I don't think there's a need to hand over the entertainment side of things to me, is there?" Guangbo said calmly. "We can't completely deny Chairman Jin's achievements and abilities just because of a small incident. The entertainment side of the company still has tens of millions of profits under Chairman Jin's management! I can't say that I'm as good at management as Chairman Jin, so I don't recommend handing over the entertainment side of Chairman Jin's management to me! I'm sorry, Chairman, but my abilities are limited- I refuse. "
Pengzhan's pupils shrunk as he stared at Guangbo! Since when did this guy get involved with Jin Gubang? Why were they on the same side? Guangbo was speaking up for Gubang?
