Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 830
Everyone probably knows my answer and is waiting to see Annan's joke.

I smiled and said slowly: "Do you think I will pass your resolution that wants me to give up my rights? Once I pass it, it means that I will lose the control of the people. Am I that stupid? "

Then he smiled again and said, "I'm that stupid, I agree with this motion!"

Annan was not surprised, Baoer was a little surprised, President Dong was not surprised, Mo Ke was a little surprised, Yaoyang was not surprised, Yu Hong was very surprised.

Annan continued: "Then let's move on to the next agenda and determine the 9 board members. We now have a total of 14 board members. Mr. Chen and Dong are always the largest shareholders of our company, so it is certain that they are two of the 9 people. , the remaining 7 people, I hope everyone will discuss and decide, if no consensus can be reached, they will vote together to decide!"

Mr. Yi was the first to jump out and said: "Since the members of the board of directors are all elected by voting, then I think Mr. Dong and Fade Chen should also be discussed or voted together. This is fair to everyone. It shouldn't be Whoever has the most shares must have the final say, right? Isn’t this new system just for those who are capable? Whoever has the ability to manage the company well should get in, isn’t that the truth?”

Yaoyang whispered next to me: "Is this because you want to die? Who gave him the courage?"

I said contemptuously: "You haven't seen it for so many years. You don't even call Mr. Chen, you always call me by my first name, and you fight against me every time, but you don't have any big skills, and you can't do anything earth-shattering. Armed overthrow The feat of the regime is not as good as Yan Zi, and Bigan's determination to risk his life to speak out is to show his sense of existence, a loyal minister and a good general, but it always gives people the impression that he is doing stealthy business!"

Yaoyang chuckled and said, "That's a good summary!"

Here Annan saw us talking, so he asked me, "Mr. Chen, what do you say?"

I grumbled and said, "I don't have any opinions. After all, we are a private enterprise, a mature boss company, and everything still talks about democracy. I listen to everyone's opinions!"

Mr. Zhou, Mr. Yi's ally, said: "Mr. Chen's contribution to the company is obvious to all, but he is still too young, and sometimes he is too impulsive in doing things. Sometimes a wrong approach will make the group fall into a passive position. For example, the recent negative reports have had a great impact on our company. Our stock has fallen all the way at the opening of the market today, and this kind of thing has not happened once or twice. I think this is worth thinking about, and it also gives us Alarm bells ringing."

I asked curiously: "What exactly are you trying to express? Do you want to kick me out of the board of directors directly, or do you want to fire me directly?"

Mr. Zhou hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I just want to remind you! I think it's better to show your hands to vote, which is fair to everyone? What do you think?"

I looked at him contemptuously and said: "You don't need to talk about it, let's make this decision, there is no need for Dong Zong, you don't like me, I know, but no one has any objections to Dong Zong, right?"

No one dared to speak.

President Dong didn't act like I did. He just sat silently, as if he was traveling thousands of miles away.

As soon as the result came to a vote, even Mr. Yi and Mr. Zhou voted for me, and the vote passed unanimously. I think this is to give me a blow?
For the next nomination, Mr. Dong and I nominated a candidate first. Mr. Dong nominated Mo Ke, which was unanimously approved without any objection.When I nominated Yaoyang, it caused a lot of controversy.Except for Annan and Bao'er who are not qualified to express their opinions for the time being, the two directors who have worked with Yaoyang before agree that one is the boss of the construction company and the other is Tang Jie, our chief engineer. They know Yaoyang's character very well. and work ability.He also knows my relationship with Yaoyang, and supports me unlimitedly.

Mr. Yi and Mr. Zhou are the two who have the most opinions. The result of this change in the board of directors is that the two of them are likely to be kicked out.After all, there are only 9 seats on the board of directors. Mr. Dong and I already have a seat each, and Mo Ke has also made a decision. There are only 6 seats left. Tang Jie and the construction company boss should definitely make a decision, so there are 4 seats left. Baoer There are only three seats for the two newly promoted upstart high-level executives with Annan. The company directors can't be shaken. There must be a veteran of the company. There are still 6 veterans left, and 6 of the 3 people will compete. Seat, the two of them are not welcome, it becomes dangerous.

The biggest question raised about Yaoyang is that he joined the company for a short period of time and only made some achievements in the project in Dongguan. He is not even sure whether he is a full-time employee of the company!

For their doubts, Yaoyang simply dismissed them, and just said lightly: "At least I am still working, and I am making contributions to the company, how about you? What are you in charge of now? The people sitting here on our side , How many are serving? Are we going to discuss now whether board members should be serving? If they are not serving, they will not be able to join the board of directors, so there is no need to choose. If it is seniority, there is no need to choose. Just go down in order of age! Who are we going to choose? Someone who understands the operation of the company and helps the chairman handle things. If he doesn’t know anything, how can he help the company make decisions? Otherwise, we need you What's the use of being on the board?"

As soon as the words came out, the two were speechless, and they were speechless for a while!Several elders showed ugly expressions, but they couldn't say anything more, because Yaoyang told the truth.

At this time, an abrupt voice rang out, and Annan said very calmly: "If it is just based on ability as you said, I believe that many people in the company have the qualifications of the board of directors. All of them can sit here today. The people here are all capable people, otherwise they would not be sitting here. Capable, what kind of ability? Management ability? Sales ability? Or the ability to not panic when things happen and know how to deal with emergencies? Mr. Chen, these abilities There is no shortage, so why do we have to go to the extra trouble to elect this board member? It is to restrain him, restrain him from doing some impulsive things, some irrational things. Who is suitable?"

Yaoyang hurriedly said: "You are definitely not suitable! Although you are not so impulsive, you have no courage, and I don't even think you have any dignity! Anyone can do it, but you must not! Because you can't even do the most basic loyalty. None, it's not worth trusting!"

Annan didn't change his face, and responded without a beat: "What is loyalty? To be loyal to Mr. Dong, to be loyal to Mr. Chen is to be loyal? I am a part-time worker, and I want to be loyal to everyone, not just one person!"

Then he looked at everyone and said: "I believe everyone has seen the news these days. What is the truth about this matter without telling the truth? But no matter what, you shouldn't be caught by the media. This is not the first time. Just because this piece of news came out, it brought a lot of losses to the people! This kind of mistake is completely avoidable, why did it lead to such a result, that is, not restraining Mr. Chen, and not daring to restrain Mr. Chen. An enterprise is very dangerous. What I am talking about here is not to overthrow Mr. Chen’s regime, nor to gain some power for myself, but the problem is indeed in front of us now, and everyone knows it well. But no one dared to speak up! Including Dong Zong!" After speaking, he sat down calmly.

Yaoyang wanted to refute, so I pressed Yaoyang and told him not to speak for now.

I looked at Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong was there, and he didn't intend to speak at all.

I sighed and said: "Okay, since everyone has objections to Mr. Zhang, let's discuss it later! As for what Annan just said, I also think it makes sense, otherwise why would we have this meeting? Right? This question , I think there is no need to discuss any more! So the next nomination is?"

Annan pointed to Bao'er. Bao'er was already the general manager. It would be a matter of time before he entered the board of directors. There was no need to discuss it in depth. It was passed quickly. After that, Tang Jie and the boss of the construction company also had no disputes. Next passed.

In this way, the board of directors has produced a total of 6 directors, me, Dong Zong, Mo Ke, Baoer, Tang Jie, and the construction company boss.The competition for the remaining three has become fierce. I have been thinking about how to get Yaoyang into the board of directors. According to the current situation, there are 14 people in total, and 8 votes are needed to pass. I will add Tang Jie, the boss. , Dong Zong and Bao Er already have 5 votes, I still need 3 votes, Annan, Yi Zong, and Zhou Zong are impossible, so this is the only way to get 6 votes from the remaining 3 people.

For the remaining 6 people, except for Mo Ke who might be on Yaoyang's side, I have no confidence in the rest of them.

I have always been domineering in the board of directors, and I have offended these old guys a lot. These five old guys were originally centered on Mr. Yi, but Mr. Yi has been suppressed by me so that he can't hold his head up or speak. They It gradually differentiated, and now these five old guys are centered on Mr. Zhu's first secretary, Mr. Hu. He is already seventy-three this year. Every time I see him, I feel like he is not asleep. As if awake, he was still groggy at this moment, not saying a word.The other four waited for him to finish speaking before agreeing to express their views.

For a while, everyone fell silent, each thinking about their own affairs.

It was Dong Zong who broke the deadlock and said: "Let's take a break for 10 minutes, think about it, and then elect a few people, and everyone will vote together."

For 10 minutes, I thought how can I convince those old guys to vote for Yaoyang in 10 minutes?Yaoyang looked indifferent, as if whether he could get into the board of directors had nothing to do with him.

When I found Mr. Hu and his group in the corridor, Mr. Yi and Mr. Zhou were already lobbying them. Several people nodded frequently there, and it seemed that they had reached a consensus.

Mr. Yi saw me and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, we have reached a consensus, and we can go in and vote now!"

I looked at him, then at Mr. Hu, and said to Mr. Hu, "Talk for a few words?"

Mr. Hu finally opened his eyes at this moment, and nodded slightly.

Mr. Hu and I walked to the end of the corner alone, and I asked, "Have you made a decision? Who are you going to let in? You, Mr. Yi, and Lao Zhou? It's a bit uneconomical for you, and only 5 of 1 people will get in." ! Both of them went in?"

Mr. Hu snorted and asked, "Then what better suggestion do you have?"

I thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yi and Lao Zhou wear a pair of pants. If both of them go in, it won't do you any good? I only ask one person to go in, and you can decide for the others! And I promise , the person you choose, I will not make things difficult for you! How about it? But if you want to get Mr. Yi and Lao Zhou in, I will definitely fight for the remaining one. Then it will be true whoever gets the final prize. uncertain!"

Mr. Hu said schemingly: "You let us enter one, and they also let us enter one, it's the same! There is no benefit to both of them!"

I smiled and asked: "You don't want to join both of you, do you? The remaining one, let me and Mr. Yi grab it? That's too greedy, and it may be a chicken-and-egg fight at that time? I don't think Mr. Dong will either. Will agree!"

Mr. Hu hummed and said: "I've thought about this a long time ago, and I didn't plan to go in with so many people, and I can't say anything if I go in. We only need one, Mr. Yi and the others, and you. It's fair! Do you think Woolen cloth?"

I smiled and said, "You know how to behave? No one can offend you! I agree, so it's settled!"

After entering, Mr. Yi saw me flirting with Mr. Hu, and was somewhat worried.

I nominated Yaoyang first, Mr. Yi nominated Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou nominated Mr. Yi, and Mr. Hu nominated a middle-aged woman Mr. Xia. There were four people in total.

Just when he was about to vote, President Dong suddenly said, "Then let me propose someone, Annan!"

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and no one thought that President Dong would nominate him.

I frowned, but I couldn't say anything, I thought in my heart, if Yaoyang didn't join the board of directors, would I have to turn my face?Once I take this step, I may officially leave Wanzhong, will they keep me?What about my ancient town project?I promised Du Shiyang, what should I do?My mind was in a mess, why didn't I think that the board of directors would nominate Annan?

Then, the secret ballot began, and when the results were counted, I wanted to talk to Mr. Dong. Seeing her refusal to accept others, I felt angry.Thinking, if the voting is over in a while, if Yaoyang is kicked out, I will turn my face immediately, let's see what you can do to me?This means finding my successor so that Annan can succeed me?Do you think it is too simple?President Dong won't count on me, will he?After so many storms, you won’t be standing on the same front with me until now, right?
