Chapitre 335: Chapter 335: A Good Show to Watch
"Mr. Barton, I'm sorry, but I will be taking over as Chairman of the Board from now on!"
Bao Yugang said to Barton Hardman with a hint of apology.
Barton Hardman forced a smile, trying to remain calm, and replied, "Alright!"
Bao Yugang nodded with a smile and shifted his gaze from the sullen Charles Kessick to Financial Director Liu Mingtao.
Liu Mingtao's heart was in his throat. After meeting Bao Yugang's gaze for a few seconds, he suddenly relaxed, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, "Mr. Bao, I resign from my position as Financial Director."
After speaking, Liu Mingtao apologized to Charles Kessick and Barton Hardman, then resolutely walked towards the door and left the conference room.
What was bound to happen eventually had arrived. Rather than being forced out, he chose to preserve his dignity. Bao Yugang had given him the chance to leave with some self-respect, and he took it.
Charles Kessick clenched his teeth in frustration, unable to do anything, feeling a deep sense of indignation.
Bao Yugang's intention to remove Liu Mingtao had been anticipated, as controlling the company required the financial reins to be held by his most trusted people.
"Now, I appoint Wu Guangzheng as the new Financial Director and also as a board member."
With Bao Yugang's statement, Wu Guangzheng stood up and smiled at everyone present.
"..."
Next, Bao Yugang appointed his personnel to the remaining four board seats, each overseeing important departments, solidifying control over the company. Charles Kessick was powerless to stop this; it was a right granted to the absolute majority shareholder by law. All he could do was swallow his anger.
After an unknown amount of time, the meeting was adjourned. Charles Kessick, without a backward glance, left with Barton Hardman, but was called back by Bao Yugang.
"Mr. Kessick, may I have the honor of inviting you for a cup of tea?"
Charles Kessick paused, understanding that Bao Yugang wanted to discuss the shares held by Yi He Pacific.
He turned to look at Bao Yugang and, with a blank expression, said, "Mr. Bao, there is a saying among Chinese people: know when to stop!"
With that, Charles Kessick angrily left.
Wu Guangzheng, infuriated, stepped forward to speak but was stopped by Bao Yugang's raised hand.
After Charles Kessick's figure disappeared, Bao Yugang told Wu Guangzheng, "Let it be for now. Don't press too hard. We have the initiative, so let's take it slow and steady."
---
Charles Kessick exited the Yi He Air Cargo Station building and looked back at the massive sign hanging on the building. His heart seemed to bleed continuously.
Yi He Air Cargo Station had been his cornerstone, and now it had been forcibly taken away. The enemy was flaunting their victory in front of him. The frustration and anger he felt were beyond words.
Without Yi He Air Cargo Station, how could he compete with his elder brother for the head of the family position? With the newly joined Yi He Insurance Advisory Group?
Just as Charles was about to get into his car, a subordinate ran over, out of breath and looking panicked. This only made Charles Kessick frown deeper. With a stern face, he asked, "What's the rush? Has Satan come?"
"Pant… pant…"
"Manager, it's bad. Jiuding Securities Company has announced that it holds 53.7% of the insurance company's shares and has called for a board meeting. They need you to attend!"
The subordinate gasped out.
Charles Kessick's eyes widened, and he shook the subordinate by the shoulders, demanding, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Manager, Jiuding Securities Company has announced that it holds 53.7% of our company's shares and has called for a board meeting."
The subordinate, startled, quickly repeated the information.
Upon hearing this, Charles Kessick felt darkness descend before his eyes. He staggered, and Barton Hardman quickly supported him, looking at him with concern.
"Pant… pant…"
Charles Kessick took deep breaths, slowly regaining his composure. Seeing Barton Hardman's concerned gaze, he straightened up, slammed the car door with a "bang," and yelled hysterically, "Damn it! You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
Passersby watched Charles Kessick, who looked like a refined gentleman in a suit but was now acting like a madman, and quickly moved away. Some stopped to watch the commotion and pointed fingers.
"Charles, you need to go back and tell your father immediately. Hurry!"
Barton Hardman shook Charles Kessick awake and shouted in his ear.
Charles Kessick jolted, muttering, "Right, find Father!"
Saying this, Charles Kessick opened the car door and told the driver inside, "Quick, to the family estate!"
Unfortunately, Bao Yugang happened to see the scene from the window as he had come to look at the view.
Bao Yugang was intrigued by Charles Kessick's unusual outburst.
Charles Kessick had restrained himself during the board meeting and did not lose his temper, which showed some degree of upbringing and composure. But for someone who had kept their composure to that extent, to lose it so completely upon hearing this news, suggested it was a devastating blow.
"Mingzai, find out what major events are happening in Xiangjiang right now!"
Bao Yugang instructed his assistant who was following him.
With son-in-law Wu Guangzheng taking over the financial duties of the company, he couldn't stay by his side, so the assistant was sent to handle this.
The assistant named Mingzai respectfully acknowledged the order and quickly left. He returned in a hurry shortly after, still bearing a look of shock, which piqued Bao Yugang's curiosity even more.
"Boss, big news! Just as you were holding the board meeting, Jiuding Securities Company announced it holds 53.7% of Yi He Insurance Advisory Group and is holding a board meeting as the absolute controlling shareholder!"
The assistant, Mingzai, delivered the explosive news in one breath.
Even Bao Yugang, despite his calm demeanor, was taken aback by this news. It was an unexpected shock!
He soon smiled, clapping his hands and laughing heartily, "Good! Good! Xia Yu truly lives up to his name. It turns out there's still a hidden move here. Yi He Insurance Advisory Group is a great company, and he managed to complete an absolute takeover quietly. Impressive!"
"With Yi He Insurance Advisory Group, Xia Yu's status as a financial tycoon is more solidified!"
Bao Yugang genuinely felt happy for Xia Yu, considering him a close friend despite their age difference.
After his excitement, Bao Yugang thought of his old friend John Kessick and displayed a meaningful smile, his gaze becoming deep.
"Old John, this time it's a two-fold deadlock. I wonder how you will respond?"
"A good show is about to begin, haha!"
