I'm a boss at Marvel

Chapter 129 We Lost After All

It has to be said that Opadry is quite capable of managing the company.

He first briefly introduced the incident of Tony being captured, then praised the military for rescuing Tony, and then reported to shareholders the fluctuations in the secondary stock market under the influence of this incident.

"... Fortunately, Tony has returned safely, and the stock price of our Stark Industries has reached a new high because of this. According to the current market value, everyone present is worth more than twice as much as before .”

Opadry's speech aroused warm applause from major shareholders.

Opadry pressed his palms calmly, and continued: "Of course, Stark Industries is still facing many severe challenges, so I sincerely hope that all departments, partners, and investors can work together with one heart and one mind. , continue to stick together."

"As you all know, Tony was seriously injured this time, and he needs to recuperate. He proposed that during this period, his female secretary, Miss Pepper, be the interim president. Then our next link is to talk to Pepper. The proposal of Miss serving as the interim president will be voted on."

"Voting is based on the share capital share of each major shareholder, because this meeting is an incomplete shareholder meeting, and many shareholders in the secondary market are absent, so as long as the number of votes exceeds 30%, it will be considered passed."

Obaday looked around and announced: "Okay, if there is no problem, let's start voting now."

"The military holds a total of 38% of the shares - abstention." A representative of the military was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

The major shareholders present nodded slightly.

This is what everyone expected. The military only holds shares and rarely interferes with the company's internal operations.

Regardless of whether they voted for Pepper or Obada as president, they would choose to abstain and hand over the rights to partners and investors.

In this way, the equity in the hands of these major shareholders present is very important.

Grayly winked at a nearby shareholder.

The shareholder immediately stood up, "Channel dealer, hold 5% of the shares - abstain!"

Immediately afterwards, another shareholder took over, "Materials supplier, hold 3% of the shares - abstain!"

"4% stake - abstention!"

"2% stake - abstention!"

Major shareholders one after another stood up, and they all abstained from voting!

Pepper frowned suddenly.

If all major shareholders abstain from voting, then 30% of the votes in favor cannot be achieved!

This is clearly Grayli's intentional trick!
More than half of the voting went on, and Pepper didn't even get a single yes vote.

Greyley smiled slyly at Pepper: "How is it, Miss Pepper? Now you know how to be afraid? As long as I abstain from voting again, you basically have no hope of being elected as the interim president. However, if you beg me , I might give you a chance."

Pepper looked cold and arrogant, "Don't dream, Greeley, I will not surrender to you."

Grayli laughed, "Okay, you really deserve to be Pepper. Then you just wait to lose! This is a legal voting procedure, and your little boy bodyguard can't help you!"

As he said that, Greyley stood up triumphantly, "I, Greyley, a partner of Stark Company, holds 9% of the shares - abstain!"

There was an uproar in the shareholder meeting room.

You know, if Pepper wants to be elected interim president, he must have 30% of the votes in favor.

Now, the main partners and shareholders have all abstained from voting.

In this way, even if investors and shareholders all vote in favor, it will be difficult to turn the tide.

Obaday, who presided over the meeting, frowned slightly and gave Greeley a look.

This situation is what Obaday does not want to see.

Obaday's original intention was to make Pepper a puppet.

However, he has now fully controlled the board of directors, so anyone can be a puppet.

Therefore, for Greeley's behavior, Obaday just stared at it and did not stop it.

Grayli immediately became more proud. He raised his eyebrows at Pepper, "Pepper, you lost. As I said, I will let you and your little white-faced bodyguard get out of the conference room."

The other partners and shareholders also snickered.

They lost a lot of money in the duel betting just now, so they naturally hoped that Han Long and Pepper would be unlucky.

Pepper snorted coldly at them, then turned to Han Long and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I let you down."

Han Long said indifferently: "The meeting is not over yet."

At this time, Ruben cleared his throat and stood up, "On behalf of the 7% shares held by Yinshan Capital, I voted for it."

The other major shareholders all looked at Ruben in astonishment.

Grayli sneered, "Ruben, why are you joining in the fun! The overall situation has been settled, and your 7% of the shares are simply not enough!"

Ruben smiled coldly, "Grey, are you trying to deprive our investor shareholders of their voting rights?"

Basically, the shareholding structure of Stark Corporation is divided into four parts, the first part is the partners, the second part is the investors, the third part is the military, and the fourth part is the secondary market of the stock market. major shareholder.

Grayley represents the partner majority shareholder.

Ruben represents the major shareholder of the investor.

Partners and major shareholders have a say in Stark Corporation.

However, the major shareholder of the investor has a small share, and it is almost difficult to have a say.

Greyley laughed loudly, "Ruben, what's wrong with you today? Do you have to find it yourself? Let alone you, even if all your investors and shareholders' shares add up, they still can't reach 30%! I Look, there is no need for everyone to waste time, just announce the result directly!"

As soon as this remark came out, the major investors and major shareholders next to Lu himself immediately became furious.

"I represent 5% of the shares held by Morgan Venture Capital, and I vote for it!"

"On behalf of the 3% shares held by Blackstone Venture Capital, I vote for it!"

"I represent……"

Investors and major shareholders expressed their views one after another.

Grayli sneered contemptuously and said, "So what? I've already done the calculations. Your combined shares are only 22%, which is still 8% short! Pepper, you can't be the interim president of Stark Industries." !"

Pepper smiled helplessly, "It seems that we lost after all."

Ruben couldn't help but sighed, and bowed slightly to Han Long, "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I tried my best."

Greyley grinned and said, "All shareholders have voted and the overall situation is settled! Opadry, please announce the result!"

"Wait." Han Long stood up indifferently.

Grayli shouted sharply: "Chinese garbage! You are just a bodyguard! This is a general meeting of shareholders, so you don't have the right to speak!"

Han Long said coldly: "Who says I'm not a shareholder?"

Grayli was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed arrogantly and said: "Haha, boy, how many shares do you buy from the stock market, and you dare to call yourself a shareholder? You need 1% of your shares to be able to stand here and speak!"
