The shareholders' meeting in the morning was just a formality, and everyone knew that the afternoon director election was the highlight.

The fact that Shoufu Morita became a major shareholder of Columbia Pictures was soon discovered by well-informed media. After the report, it quickly caused a stir.

Nowadays, Americans are very sensitive to the acquisition of Fusang people and have always been a relatively boycott. However, they did not expect that they were finally successful, which made many Americans very dissatisfied for a while. They called the radio and television stations to complain.

Some members of Congress also acted on the news and took the opportunity to make a fortune in political affairs, claiming to protest against the Ministry of Min, demanding that the acquisition be reviewed to see if it is legal.

The small shareholder alliance in Columbia Pictures also took advantage of the momentum and rose sharply, "Look, the outside world is supporting us now, so we will definitely not lose. The board of directors belongs to us small shareholders, long live the small shareholders!" Carls Feng took the opportunity to shout.

"Long live the small shareholder!" Other small shareholders also shouted loudly, with enthusiasm.

Then there is the voting and election of directors. Each shareholder gets his own vote and then starts filling out votes, voting, counting votes and other work.

"Xia Sang, did you vote for me?" When Xia Tian filled out the ticket and went to the ballot box to vote, Shaofu Morita asked him with a smile.

"Of course, we are allies. If I don't give you the vote, who will I give it to?" Xia Tian smiled slightly.

When Shaofu Morita heard this, he nodded, "Thank you Xia Sang, I believe that as long as we unite, we will definitely hold Columbia Pictures firmly in our hands."

"Mr. Morita is right. As long as we are united, those small shareholders will be easy to deal with." Xia Tian also echoed.

...

After voting, counting votes began.

The vote counting work is jointly monitored by the lawyer group, shareholder representatives and supervisor representatives.

The vote counting work is not progressing fast. The votes are voting at 2 pm, and all votes are counted until 5 pm.

After statistics, the number of votes is basically the same as the total number of votes, and the vote is valid.

So the voting results were announced immediately and the list of members of the new board of directors was announced.

Shaofu Morita was full of confidence and thought he was sure to win. Because the summer votes would be voted for his people, the five small shareholders would also voted for his people, and the votes he owned can ensure that at least five of the nine directors he nominated can serve as directors.

In this way, his throne as chairman will be as stable as Mount Tai. Even if summer is fired, it will be a breeze to change to a CEO.

When he was happy, Xia Tian came over and said to him, "Mr. Morita, the public opinion outside is so fierce now. I think you'd better arrange a public relations team to settle it as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be some trouble."

"Xia Sang, it's not me who is in trouble, but you!" Morita Shaofu smiled.

"Me?!" Xia Tian was stunned, "I don't understand what you mean by Mr. Morita."

"Don't worry, you will understand soon." Shaofu Morita grinned. He was about to announce the list of board members. He was sure that Xia Tian would be shocked when he heard the result.

"..." Xia Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw him looking confident and was complacent.

"Okay, let me announce the latest board list of Columbia-Samsung Films." Millhouse Mason, chairman of Columbia, chairman of the shareholders' meeting, announced loudly, "Summer, Shoufu Morita, Masao Watanabe, Bruce Turner, Charlie Brownson, Robert Riggle, James Silton, Jeff Blum, and Eno Smith."

After the results were announced, the small shareholders were a little surprised. They originally booked five people, including Carls von, Ano Smith, Bruce Turner, Charlie Brownson and Robert Riggle, to choose directors.

The ending was that James Silton should have been eliminated, Jeff Blum was elected as a director, and the original board member Carls Feng actually lost the election. This result was so weird.

Because Carls Feng himself has 7% of the votes, it is impossible for him not to vote for himself. In this way, who will vote for James and Jeff? And why do you have to vote for them? Is there some unknown relationship in it?

"This result is unfair, why am I not elected?" Karls Fon stood up and said loudly.

If he is elected as a director, he can receive a considerable salary and can also make trouble for the company's affairs. He has certain power.

If he cannot be elected as a director, then he is just a small shareholder to Columbia Pictures, without power or power. Apart from stock dividends, he has no money to collect.

Because the difference between being elected and not being elected is too big, Carls Feng couldn't help but stand up and call out for himself.

...

At the same time, Shaofu Morita was also confused.

He had agreed with Xiatian, Bruce, Charlie and others that everyone would support him and vote for his people to be elected as directors.

But the result was that except for him, Masao Watanabe, who was the only one who voted, entered the board of directors, and the others had no chance at all. This means that neither Xia Tian nor those five small shareholders voted for him.

"Xia Sang, you have no faith!" Morita Shaofu pointed at Xia Tian and said.

"Mr. Morita, you can't talk nonsense. I really voted for you. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. If I lie, I will thunder and lightning!" Xia Tian swears.

"How did you vote?" Morita Shaofu was stunned. Seeing that Xia Tian didn't look like he was lying, he asked in confusion.

"I'll just diversify my investment. I voted for every candidate you have." Xia Tian smiled and said, "How is it, is it enough to take care of you?"

When Shaofu Morita heard this, his mouth twitched a few times.

If the votes in summer are concentrated, it will be enough for the two to be successfully selected on the board of directors. But if he comes to the polls in different ways, the vote rate of each person will be low, so naturally he will not be shortlisted.

"How could you vote like this?" Shaofu Morita said depressedly, "Aren't you doing something random when you are like this?"

"I can't blame me. You know that I have only been in the business world for three years, so how can I understand these things? I originally wanted to ask you for advice at noon, but I didn't find you. Speaking of which, where have you been?" Xia Tian said with an innocent look on his face.

"..." When Shaofu Morita was asked, he immediately closed his mouth and had nothing to say.

Did he tell Xiatian that he asked the five shareholders to meet at noon and was planning to drive Xiatian out of the company?

"What should I do now? We are only half of us, only three." Shaofu Morita said depressedly, "How can I become the chairman again?"

"Don't ask me about this, I'm depressed now." Xia Tian rolled his eyes and said.

"..." Shaofu Morita gritted his teeth, "No, I want to apply for a shareholders' meeting again, and I want to choose a new director."

"Let's take a look first." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "For the sake of the company, I don't support reopening the shareholders' meeting. Otherwise, if we choose one wave and another wave, we will be trapped here and can't do anything?"

"You!" Morita Shaofu was immediately depressed when he heard Xia Tian say this.

If it were not for his support, Shaofu Morita knew that even if he convened an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, his proposal to re-elect the board of directors would have failed.

"Damn it!" Morita Shaofu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

...

At this time, Millhouse Mason read out the results and drove Carls Von out of the troubled karls von.

During his administration, Carls Feng always regarded himself as a representative of a small shareholder and often threatened him to pay dividends to shareholders, otherwise he would make trouble and make him unable to do anything.

Therefore, Millhouse Mason had long been unhappy about Carls Feng, but he was a director and there was a small shareholder behind him, so even if he was unhappy, he had to bear it. But now he is not a director, but just a small shareholder, so he can do whatever he wants.

"Mr. Moritian, let's go on stage and accept the inspection by the small shareholders. Whether we can stay in this company depends on their expressions." Xia Tian smiled again.

"Hmph" Shaofu Morita snorted dissatisfiedly. If Xia Tian is messing around and votes are scattered, they will have at least four directors elected. If they are lucky, it will not be difficult to have five. At that time, why should I look at the faces of these small shareholders?

"Mr. Xia, congratulations on joining the board of directors," Millhouse Mason said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Mason." Xia Tian also smiled, "What are your plans in the future?"

After the new board of directors is established, the original board members will automatically cancel their posts, and Millhouse Mason will also lose the throne of chairman.

"I want to go back to my country house for a while, fish, hunt, and then think about what to do next." Millhouse Mason said with a smile.

He has been in charge of Columbia Pictures for four years and has not made much contribution. It is mainly because Coca-Cola supports too little, which makes him feel like a clever man can't cook without rice.

In addition, the power of small shareholders is also very strong, and he often forces his chairman to surrender to them and is forced to make some short-sighted moves that are not conducive to the company's development, such as giving dividends to shareholders' profits instead of using them to make new films.

So it's a bit regretful that he left now, after all, he didn't leave anything to commemorate. He didn't even get a classic movie or a best film trophy, so he was really unwilling to accept it.

"I think if you are willing to stay, you should be able to stay. Even if you can't become the chairman, at least I think you can still be a department manager. What do you think?" Xia Tian smiled.
Chapter completed!
