章節 334: Chapter 334: Charles's Frustration
"..."
After chatting with Xia Yu for a few more minutes, Wu Hongyi ended the call.
Despite the late hour, Wu Hongyi found himself unable to sleep. He got up and walked to the balcony, looking out at the dark night and the starry sky, feeling a deep unease.
Owning over half of the shares, which required at least 250 million HKD, Xia Yu had managed to acquire them successfully. This was incredibly impressive!
Wu Hongyi had thought he understood Xia Yu well, but now he realized he didn't really know him at all.
Moreover, Xia Yu's actions were astounding.
Yi He Insurance, a core component of the Yi He Group, had been acquired so boldly by Xia Yu. Not only did he initiate the acquisition, but he also succeeded in taking control.
Their Wu family had considered this for over a hundred years but never had the strength to act. They could only watch as the Yi He Group grew bigger and their goals drifted further away.
Without comparison, there is no harm, and it was heart-wrenching!
"Fortunately, Xia Yu is my friend!"
"Grandfather was indeed right. Xia Yu has really taken action against the Yi He Group. However, I doubt even Grandfather could have predicted how quickly Xia Yu acted!"
Wu Hongyi shook his head with a bitter smile and murmured to himself.
"I should go home tomorrow and tell Grandfather. I should also find out what's been happening in Xiangjiang lately."
With that thought, Wu Hongyi gazed at the stars for a while longer before returning to his room to try to sleep.

"Wang Qi, the 10% voting rights from Huafeng Investment will be under our control. You can announce this to the public now. Convene the board meeting as the largest shareholder, take control of the company first, and then apply for delisting and privatization with the Securities Regulatory Commission. Also, initiate the acquisition of Yi He Holdings!"
After hanging up, Xia Yu decisively issued orders to Wang Qi.
"Understood!"
Wang Qi respectfully responded and quickly left the office at Xia Yu's signal to execute his orders.
Watching Wang Qi's hurried departure, Xia Yu moved to the window, drew the curtains, and looked down at the bustling street. A cold smile curved at his lips.
"Hehe!"
"The Kessick family, a gift is coming your way. Are you ready?"

In the conference room of Yi He Air Cargo Station, where board meetings were usually crowded, this time it was particularly empty. Around the conference table, only six people were scattered. Three sat together, while the other three were seated separately. The lively atmosphere before meetings had vanished, replaced by a very subdued and oppressive atmosphere.
There were originally many board members, including major shareholders and several independent directors who, although without shares, played crucial roles in the company's development.
But now, apart from three independent directors, all other shareholders had left, leaving only the three board seats held by Yi He Pacific: one seat was for Chairman Barton Hardman, and the other two seats were for Charles Kessick and financial director Liu Mingtao.
The three independent directors secretly observed Charles Kessick, Barton Hardman, and Liu Mingtao. They noted the varied expressions of the three: the first two had gloomy faces, clearly seething with frustration, while Liu Mingtao looked worried, clearly realizing that his favorable situation had come to an end.
In contrast to Charles Kessick and his associates, the independent directors were relatively calm. As company-employed executives without shares, any new boss was essentially the same to them. At worst, they might be dismissed, but their skills meant they wouldn't have trouble finding new jobs.
"Creeeak~"
After an unknown amount of time, the conference room door slowly opened, and all eyes turned to the entrance.
When Bao Yugang entered with Wu Guangzheng and several others, everyone except Charles Kessick and Barton Hardman stood up with smiles. This display only aggravated Charles Kessick, who shot a glare at Liu Mingtao. Liu Mingtao then realized and, after some hesitation, sat back down.
"Hello, Mr. Bao!"
"..."
"Everyone, please sit down. No need to stand."
Bao Yugang said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces as if trying to memorize them.
Bao Yugang paid no attention to the reactions of Charles Kessick and Barton Hardman; their responses were already expected.
"There are still many seats available, so I'll just take any spot!"
Bao Yugang said with a smile, finding a seat without specifically displacing Barton Hardman from the top position.
As Bao Yugang sat down, the three independent directors straightened up and looked at Bao Yugang intently.
After sitting, Bao Yugang used his distinctive, loud voice to address everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should know me by now. I am Bao Yugang. It's a pleasure to meet you all!"
"Today, I am convening this board meeting as the largest shareholder. Before we proceed, please review my shareholding proof and check for any issues!"
As Bao Yugang spoke, an assistant behind him immediately handed out the prepared documents to everyone. After seeing the information, the three independent directors suppressed their inner shock and became even more respectful.
"No issues!"
Charles Kessick, seeing the shareholding proof, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down. He was afraid he might lose his temper and slap the proof on Bao Yugang's smiling face.
"Mr. Bao, everyone's time is valuable. Please get to the point. There's no need to waste time."
Charles Kessick urged coldly. As a defeated individual, he could anticipate what was coming. Rather than enduring frustration, it was better to face the inevitable as soon as possible.
Charles Kessick's hostility was clear, but Bao Yugang was unfazed and replied warmly:
"Mr. Kessick, no need to rush. From today onwards, we're on the same boat. I'll need your support in the future!"
Charles Kessick's face twitched uncontrollably, his frustration intensifying.
"Since you're so impatient, let's get to the main topic!"
"Now that we have absolute control, according to regulations and the company's situation, I will hold the Chairman position and four board seats, with absolute decision-making power over the company."
Bao Yugang's smile faded, and his demeanor changed. A vast, imposing aura emanated from him, giving off a sense of composure and authority.
