American Legendary Life

Hearst Group Building.

The annual report meeting was held as scheduled. As a major shareholder, William Hirst, who was already in retirement, also participated in the meeting.

The same Li Zitao did not send any representatives, which would mean he was sitting in his own position.

Li Zitao, who holds 23% of the shares, is nominally the second largest shareholder of the Hearst Group.

Except for William, who holds 38% of Hirst's shares, he has the most shares.

The third largest shareholder is another person in the Hirst family, William Hirst's second son, John Hirst.

He holds an 8% stake in the Hearst Group.

His fourth son, Randolph Hirst, and his fifth son, David Hirst, each hold 5 percent of the shares.

Together, these children's shares are the guarantee of the Hearst family's stable business rights.

William Hirst is not afraid of Li Zitao's confidence.

It's just that the twilight old lion has forgotten that his authority is not enough to maintain the stability of the ethnic group.

The human heart is the most fickle and elusive in the world.

"...This is the annual report meeting. The group's profit has made a lot of progress compared to last year. I believe that with the support of shareholders, there will be better results in the future."

Little William stood upright on the blackboard, enjoying everyone's gaze.

But what he looked like in Li Zitao's sense of majesty and demeanor was a little more funny.

If I put my eyes on again, his current image is no different from the class teacher in memory.

"It's more like replacing the blackboard with an electronic screen." Li Zitao said to himself.

"Below..." Just as everyone thought the annual report was over, William said suddenly.

William Hirst's expression changed slightly, and his eyes looked at his son with a bit of doubt and fierceness.

But William didn't care about his father's eyes, and said, "I will submit a new proposal on the re-election of the chairman of the board of directors."

boom.

The entire conference room seemed to be swept by a twelfth-level storm. All eyes widened, and they looked at William William with incredible eyes.

It looks like saying, ‘Is this really William Hirst Jr.? ’

The chairman of the board of directors has been held by the founder William Hirst since the establishment of Hearst Group.

No one has ever been shaken by this, and even during the Great Depression, which was the most difficult for the Hirst Group, no one had any idea of ​​re-election.

Now, this iron law is broken by his son, the new leader of the lion.

"William, do you know what you are talking about?" George stood up first.

Although he lost his previous shares, he still participated in today's annual report meeting as the representative of his brother John Hirst.

"William, don't make a decision that you regret." Randolph and David also stood up and looked at him with warning eyes.

Only the old William Hirst, who was the protagonist, sat in the chair, and his deep and meaningful eyes looked directly at his son William's face.

William has a little guilty guilty, very very guilty.

Long-term under the hood of his father's majesty, he was very familiar with his father's eyes, and the fear engraved in his bones.

But he also knew clearly that when he made up his mind to replace his father and become the new lion king of the ethnic group, he had no way out.

Moreover, he chose to cooperate with the ‘devil’.

Even if he wanted to flinch, the devil would try his best to make him fall into the abyss.

Turning his eyes to Li Zitao's usual smile, William William clenched his teeth secretly and said calmly: "Now, please share your views!"

Everyone's heart jumped again, but also had a different kind of thought.

No one dared to challenge William's authority, and people were used to fearing his majesty and strength.

However, when things really happened, they suddenly found nothing terrible.

Hirst will not collapse, and the earth will not explode in place, even if William himself is a little overwhelmed.

It is just a long-term deterrent and the unwillingness to be a head bird that makes shareholders present choose to continue to wait and see.

What do they want to see, what makes William William so crazy?

In fact, everyone guessed the answer at the bottom of his heart. The rest of his eyes looked at Li Zitao, who was sitting at the other end of the long table and kept the gentleman smiling.

The rest of the shareholders were still restrained. The children of the Hearst family looked at him with a rising flame, as if to burn Li Zitao on the spot.

It's a pity that this anger didn't hurt him for half a point, but instead gave them anger and felt that the whole body was burning.

"Haha..." Hao Mai's laughter sounded, and old William stood up with his crutches in spirit, with a sign of returning to the light.

Looking at his favorite son, old William was a little relieved, dissatisfied, annoyed and sorry.

Little William couldn't understand the complicated emotions for a while, and his inner guilt and cowardice made him choose not to overdo not look at his father.

"So, vote now!" Old William said no more.

vote!

"I agree that William William is the chairman of the board of directors. It is time for young people to lead the world~www.readwn.com~ Unsurprisingly, it was Li Zitao who spoke.

Seeing the answer they wanted, they were relieved and shareholders began to hesitate. How should they choose?

Offending Li Zitao is certainly not good, but William has the ability to become the new captain of Hirst, can he take control from the family...

Without an answer, no one can be sure of the outcome of this battle.

But they must make a choice, because this resolution represents the signal of war between the two sides when Li Zitao spoke.

Now is the time to stand in line, those who are swaying, will only be regarded as enemies by both sides.

New and old, young and old, the gap in shares and Li Zitao's past style and performance, let them make a suitable choice.

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Agree."

The frequency of raising hands is getting faster and faster, except for the members of the Hearst family, the remaining shareholders voted in favor.

9 to 3, the position of chairman of the board is changed.

"You..." George was angry and pointed at the shareholders present.

They either staggered their eyes, or chose to look at it calmly, without any fear or owe.

Business is business, and the facts will not change with a threat. Li Zitao's goal of winning the Hearst Group goes further.

"Very well, you finally grew up." Old William, without any frustration or irritation, came to his son and pressed his shoulder hard.

Old William said with some pity: "It's just that you chose the wrong object."

The people of the Hearst family retired with the old William. This annual report will be over and there will be no more variables.

Old William, this one-handed founder of the Hearst newspaper empire.

His age and stage ended here.
