Be the master in the comic world

William looked around at everyone and smiled secretly in his heart. This was just a small trick on his part.

He continued: "Well, since there are no other candidates, I announce that we have entered the vote of confidence. Please express your opinion whether you agree or oppose my appointment as the new chairman of Osborne Industrial Group."

Amberson was naturally the first to stand up and speak: "I agree with William Osborne to be the new chairman of Osborne Industrial Group."

The following directors had already missed the opportunity to express their loyalty for the first time. They would not miss it this time. Although the meeting process was a bit different from the previous ones, everyone still expressed their opinions one after another:

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

......

After everyone finished speaking, William nodded and said: "Okay, the board of directors unanimously approved it, more than 2/3 of the number of participants. According to the agreement of the board of directors of Osborne Industrial Group, I declare that I, William Osborne, will officially serve as the president of Osborne Industrial Group. The position of Chairman of the Group.”

The directors below applauded.

William stretched out his hand and pressed it down slightly, the sound of applause suddenly stopped, and he continued:

"Then the meeting moves on to the next topic, the election and appointment of the new vice chairman, president and CEO of Osborne Industrial Group..."

William's words suddenly made the eyes of the directors below sparkle. This was actually the topic they were most concerned about. After all, it was everyone's consensus that William's position as chairman was unshakable, and the remaining positions were what they were competing for. The "main battlefield" for robbery.Even directors who are not very capable themselves hope that people from their own faction can hold these positions. After all, some positions can be filled without being a director.

In fact, in other large group companies, changes in the position of chairman will not affect other positions. This can be regarded as a unique and weird tradition of the Osborne Group. It seems closer to the ancient feudal dynasty, where one emperor and one courtier .

The advantage of this eccentric tradition is that it can ensure that the core leadership of each generation of the Osborne Group can coordinate to the greatest extent, and in a sense avoid the hidden danger of splitting the team line.Moreover, the top leadership personnel remain relatively young compared with other traditional companies. Youth means vitality and the ability to accept new things. In this rapidly changing and turbulent era, this is very important.

Looking at the people at the conference table who were about to move because of his words, William took the lead and said: "Then, in the name of the chairman of Osborne Industrial Group, I nominate Amberson Osborne..."

Everyone looked at Amberson following William's words. Amberson looked at everyone with the same gaze. He still looked down slightly, as if he didn't hear William say his name.

"... nominates Amberson Osborne to serve in all three positions of vice chairman, president and CEO."

The rest of the board of directors were shocked at first when they heard this, and then there was an uproar. A man with gray hair and a hook-nosed man holding a cane was the first to frown and said:

"William, do you know what you are talking about? It's okay for you to propose that Amberson hold the position, or even any one of these three positions. But you want him to hold the most important positions of these three groups at the same time. This Impossible, there is no precedent for this before, and the board of directors will not agree to it.”

When the hook-nosed man finished speaking, he knocked his cane hard, and a chorus of agreement suddenly sounded from the ground.

"Yes, William, it's not that we don't trust Amberson, it's just that he can't accomplish so much work alone."

"We obey your decision, William, but this doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

"The Osborne Industrial Group not only belongs to your Osborne family, it also belongs to us, and we have given everything to this group."

Just as the members of the board of directors below were speaking more and more sharply.

William smiled and shook his head, stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked at the directors who were talking one by one with piercing eyes. His condescending posture was accompanied by an indescribable aura of majesty, which made those who looked at this young man look at each other. The directors kept their mouths shut.

The conference hall fell silent for a moment. William nodded with satisfaction, looked at the hook-nosed man, and said:

"First of all, you should call me chairman. Secondly, it has never appeared in the history of Osborne Group. It does not mean that it will not appear in the future. I remember that in the board of directors agreement of Osborne Group, there is no rule that the same person cannot hold these three positions. The terms of the position, even if there is one, I can modify this agreement..."

"Finally." William looked at everyone below and said, "I want to tell the directors something else."

"I believe that everyone should be more or less familiar with the nuclear fission reactor displayed at the Future World Expo last night."

Everyone looked at William in confusion, wondering why he was saying this at this time.

"I won't tell you the specific energy data. After all, not all of us are experts in the field of energy." William teased everyone on the board of directors.

"Perhaps you have some knowledge or guesses about nuclear fission technology, but I can say this, your most exaggerated imagination cannot explain the value of my technology."

"According to my calculations, the commercial value of the GOB-7 nuclear fission reactor at this stage alone is more than 10 billion US dollars at the most conservative estimate!"

No one will question William on the authenticity of this number. Everyone on the board of directors has judged from the external situation that what William said is true.

So the directors who heard the news were shocked at first, and then they all looked ecstatic. After all, the total assets of Osborne Group are now about US$12 billion.This is 1943, not a new century of inflation. One billion US dollars is already a huge amount.In another time and space, the famous "Manhattan Project" project of the same period only cost about US$10 billion.

Not everyone looked happy. A few smart people figured something out, and their faces suddenly turned ugly.

"In other words, if I want to, I can completely start a new business. There are a lot of people outside waving banknotes, scrambling to give me money. By then, I can completely re-establish a new 'Osborne Group', and I will I can surpass the current Osborne Group in the shortest time. I can use capital and even the power of the federal government to destroy this business empire built by my father and ancestors. By that time, the equity in your hands will become It’s worthless! Believe me, I can do this both in terms of ability and emotion.”

As William finished his sonorous and powerful speech, the entire conference hall was silent, and no one even dared to swallow.

The hook-nosed man smiled awkwardly and said cautiously:

"William, oh no, Chairman. We are not questioning your ability. I believe they do not mean that..."

William waved his hand impatiently, and the hook-nosed man suddenly stopped talking. William said in a deep voice: "I am not a person who does not miss old friendships. You are all my uncles, and you have experienced everything with my father. The hero of the wind and waves..."

William changed the topic and said sternly: "But I am not my father, and the world now is not the world it was back then. I need the power of this group to operate under my will, and under the will of 'Osborne' . I can guarantee that the equity in your hands will become more valuable than gold. I can guarantee that you will become the top few people in the world. I can also guarantee that I will not actively kick any of you out. But I only have one request..."

"...Don't block my way!"

William's deep voice was not loud, but it was deafening in the ears of the directors and made their chest feel tight.Some elderly people who were in poor health turned pale, holding their chests with their hands and breathing heavily.

William finally said: "Okay, I've finished my words. Regarding Amberson Osborne's appointment, who is in favor of and who is against it?"

One director was the first to express his opinion: "I agree."

This director's name is John, who was a close confidant of Rowell when he was still alive and a loyal supporter of the Osborne family.He had decided to support William before the meeting, although the proposal he supported was a bit different from what he had expected.

Then several directors who were in the same camp as the Osborne family agreed.

The hook-nosed man also sighed secretly and expressed his stance:

"Seconded."

Where there is one there will be a second.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Unanimous vote.

William looked at the members of the board of directors below, nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"Gentlemen, you will not regret the decision you made today."

William continued: "In that case, I still have some important things to deal with. Amberson will chair the next meeting on my behalf."

After William finished speaking, he strode out of the conference hall like a meteor.

Amberson sat down naturally on the seat where William had just taken the lead. The directors below looked at him with complicated expressions.

Amberson secretly took a breath and let it out slowly.He raised his head and said calmly: "Let's get to the specific agenda..."
