"Mr. Morita, what did they take?" Xia Tian saw that Morita Shaofu was about to run away, and immediately asked with a smile.

"Nothing..." Shaofu Morita was stunned and shook his head.

Bribery of directors and letting them choose themselves as chairman is a crime. If he dares to make a statement, he will be the first one who is unlucky.

"Ah, that's it." Xia Tian nodded and looked at Shaofu Morita meaningfully.

Xia Tian knew that he gave the five people money and asked them to support him as chairman. However, he missed one thing: none of the five people were free people, they were their own agents and only obeyed their orders. Otherwise, their position as an agent would be cancelled and everything they had now had. Therefore, although his 500,000 dollars was not enough, those people dared not accept it.

"Mr. Moritian, who do you want to choose as the chairman?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

"I choose myself!" Shaofu Morita said angrily.

Even if he chooses himself, plus Xia Tian, ​​Watanabe Masao's two votes will only be three votes, and he will not be the chairman at all. It's really hateful!

"Where is Mr. Watanabe?" Xia Tian asked again.

"I will choose Lord Morita." Watanabe Masao said without hesitation.

"Well, Mr. Aino Smith, your choice is..." Xia Tian looked at Aino Smith again, who was also the only minor shareholder on the board.

"I abstain." Aino Smith shook his head.

He is a small shareholder and also represents the interests of the small shareholder. Therefore, no matter who is the chairman, he must stand on the opposite side, otherwise he will have no value for existence.

Now Charlie Brownson has five votes and is a steady election as chairman, so it doesn't matter whether he votes or not. He is not familiar with small shareholders such as Bruce Turner, and it is even more impossible to choose Shoufu Morita or Xia Tian, ​​so he can only choose to abstain.

"Okay, now the result is out. Mr. Charlie Brownson was successfully elected as chairman of Columbia Pictures with more than half of the five votes. Congratulations!" Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Thank you all!" Charlie Brownson nodded, "I am honored to have everyone's support. I will definitely manage the company carefully so that every shareholder and every employee can benefit."

...

"Now, I recommend Mr. Long Meyer to select the company's CEO. " Xia Tian said with a smile, glanced at Long Meyer sitting beside him, and nodded to him with a smile.

When Long Mayer saw Xia Tian directly propose to be CEO, he was stunned because Xia Tian had promised him to be the assistant general manager and acting CEO.

But he was not stupid either. Of course, he knew that the position of CEO was better, so he immediately shook his body and nodded to the directors with a smile.

"Mr. Long Mayer was the manager of a CAA agency and had a deep connection in the entertainment industry. He was also very sensitive to popular touch. The films and TV series he recommended and produced have made very good returns. So I think he is a very good candidate and will be a qualified CEO." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"I don't think Mr. Long Meyer is competent for the CEO position." Morita Shoufu waved his hand, "I suggest that Mr. Masao Watanabe take over as CEO."

Seeing this, Xia Tian quickly looked at him, with a sense of confusion in his eyes.

Although Shaofu Morita's opposition was already as expected, he still expressed his dissatisfaction as usual. Because now, he and Shaofu Morita are still ally.

Shao Morita ignored Xia Tian’s doubts and continued, “Mr. Lang Meyer had no experience in leading a large entertainment company before, while Masao Watanabe was the president of Sony Music Company. He has rich experience and outstanding performance. I think he will take over.”

"Does anyone else have good candidates?" Xia Tian asked then.

"I propose that Mr. George Lucas be the CEO of Columbia Pictures," Aino Smith said.

Xia Tian was stunned, then smiled, "Okay, are there anyone else to choose?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then let's raise our hands to vote now. Choose Mr. Masao Watanabe, raise your hand!" Xia Tian suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shaoo Morita and Masao Watanabe raised their hands.

But no one else raised his hand, so they only got two votes.

"Choose Mr. George Lucas's hand." Xia Tian said again.

Only Mr. Aino Smith raised his hand.

"Agree with Mr. Long Mayer's raising his hand!" Xia Tian said immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his six hands together.

Seeing this, Shaofu Morita was shocked. He didn't expect that the steps of the small shareholders were so consistent, as if they had discussed in advance.

"How could it be so coincidental? Vote for Charlie Brownson and vote for Long Mayer together. Why are their opinions so consistent?" he thought in confusion.

Generally speaking, small shareholders should have a variety of ideas, which leads to different choices when voting, which is why small shareholders are regarded as "a bunch of loose sand".

However, the "scattered sand" is unexpectedly united and the pace is completely consistent, which makes them only a small shareholder who originally owned 30% of the shares, but now they completely control the entire listed company.

"This is simply incredible! Have they agreed long ago?" Shaofu Morita speculated.

At this moment, Xia Tian announced, "Okay, after the board of directors, Mr. Long Mayer was successfully elected as the new CEO of Columbia Pictures. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Xia!" Long Mayer stood up excitedly and said.

He originally thought that only Xia Tian would support him, but he never expected that the other directors would support him so much, which made him feel a little flattered.

"Thank you for your support. I will work hard and manage it carefully to take Columbia Pictures out of its predicament and reshape its glory." Long Meyer said loudly.

"Hmph" Morita Shaofu couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he saw his energetic appearance.

Had he known that Long Mayer was so popular, he would have not had a quarrel with Xia Tian at the beginning.

He suspected that it was because of that phone call that Xia Tian was guarding against him, so he deliberately made trouble when voting for directors. The person who caused him to only choose one director was not worth it.

Subsequently, Xia Tian was successfully elected as Chief Art Officer (CAO), while Millhouse Mason was elected as Marketing Manager.

During the voting process, the surprisingly consistent pace of Charles Brownson, Bruce Turner and others made Morita Shof even more confused.

What made him even more depressed was that although he spent more than one billion Hong Kong dollars to occupy 24.5% of Columbia Pictures' shares, he was a real major shareholder. However, he did not take any advantage in the distribution of company executives. It was not as good as Xia Tian, ​​at least he became the chief art officer.

"Damn it, what's going on?" After the board meeting, Shaofu Morita felt that his mind was confused.
