“Sister-in-law.” The obese Cao Shaowei slowly persuaded Madam Xie, “That’s enough. Xie Wenkai has already grown up. Look, look at how well he is doing?” As he said this, Cao Shaowei revealed a smile. He gestured with his hands to those who supported Xie Wenkai and his face was full of relief. He was also shocked just now, but now he was gratified. Cao Shaowei liked Xie Wenkai very much, it was the kind of affection that elders had for their juniors. Xie Wenkai was too outstanding, but it was a pity that Cao Shaowei’s child was also a boy. Otherwise, he would have wanted his child to marry Xie Wenkai. He really did not expect Xie Wenkai to be able to do this! Xie Wenkai not only managed to get a group of people to support him, he even managed to settle some of the unstable factors within the group. The unstable factor that Cao Shaowei thought of was Yao Wenhong. Yao Wenhong was the trusted supporter of the second largest shareholder, Xu Zhentian! And Xu Zhentian was the biggest unstable factor! Now that Yao Wenhong had joined Xie Wenkai’s side, Xu Zhentian had lost a very important supporter on the board of directors. This really made Cao Shaowei look at Xie Wenkai in a new light! And Sun Duo! He was an independent director, so he could choose not to vote and just abstain from voting. But Xie Wenkai had even dealt with Sun Duo, an independent director!
Cao Shaowei could not imagine how Xie Wenkai had managed to settle Sun Duo! Cao Shaowei had been dissatisfied with Madam Xie’s excessive discipline of Xie Wenkai for a long time. However, with his status, it was not easy to express his dissatisfaction. If Xie Wenkai could not stand on his own feet, how could he manage the Six Blessings Corporation in the future? Xie Guofu would not be influenced by Madam Xie. He had his own opinions. But Xie Wenkai listened to Madam Xie too much. If he did not have his own opinions, something would happen sooner or later. But now, not only did Xie Wenkai stand on his own feet, but he also used forceful methods to seize power in the board meeting! Even a portion of the thorn in the board of directors had been dealt with by Xie Wenkai! From this matter, Cao Shaowei saw Xie Wenkai’s independence, ability, boldness, and resourcefulness!
Originally, the biggest problem with Xie Wenkai taking over the Six Blessings Corporation was that he didn’t have enough experience. It was because his foundation was still shallow. Without Xie Guofu, although Xie Wenkai could smoothly become the chairman, the corporation would definitely experience a long period of instability. Xie Wenkai wouldn’t be able to have a say in the group when he took over. Xu Zhentian would definitely lead people to cause trouble! But now, Cao Shaowei felt that even if Xie Wenkai took over the corporation immediately, he could still handle it! He already had all the conditions to become the successor! With Yao Wenhong’s support and the support of the independent director, coupled with Xie Guofu’s original staunch supporters, Xu Zhentian could not stir up any waves at all. Xie Wenkai even had the ability to marginalize Xu Zhentian in the future! Xie Wenkai had already done so much. What other reason could Cao Shaowei have to not support Xie Wenkai? This kind of Xie Wenkai was not a bad thing for the Xie family or for the Six Blessings Corporation. It was a great thing!
Cao Shaowei would call Xie Guofu later. He believed that Xie Guofu would understand his choice. Just after Cao Shaowei raised his hand to express his position, another person raised his hand. He was also a very senior shareholder and had a very close relationship with Cao Shaowei. At this moment, Xie Wenkai already had nine votes!
The board meeting decisions required two-thirds of the directors to vote for a major event. An ordinary resolution only needed more than half of the votes. Today’s resolution was a small matter, so it only needed more than half of the votes! This more than half of the votes referred to half of all the board members, not half of the people present. This was also the reason why more than two-thirds of the board of directors had to be present at the board meetings. Even if it was a particularly important resolution, as long as all the board members present agreed and the number of people supporting the resolution exceeded two-thirds of the total number of people present, it would be fine. Then, it didn’t matter whether the remaining one-third would attend the board meeting or not. No matter how one counted, the votes from the people present would account for more than two-thirds.
The Six Blessings Corporation had a total of nineteen directors. More than half would be ten votes. In other words, he only needed one more vote! Then Xie Wenkai would control half of the Six Blessings Corporation!
Madam Xie was a little flustered. She felt that she could no longer suppress Xie Wenkai. She could no longer stop him. If there was another fence-sitter supporting Xie Wenkai, it would be over.
“Let’s see who dares to raise their hand!” Madam Xie slapped the table and stood up. She did not care about her identity and threatened him. She was really going crazy from anger!
Bang! Another loud bang! It was Xie Wenkai who slammed the table and stood up. He stared at Madam Xie and said, “Mom, are you sure you want to do this?”
