Chapter 744



.

Herman’s move was intended to suppress Justin’s aura.

The board meeting was called and the directors were the last to arrive. It was nothing, but he used the word ‘uncles’ to show that everyone present was older than him and should be respected.

If Justin refused to apologize, he would come across as very rude.

However, if he apologized, his imposing aura from before would disappear.

Herman’s words caused Justin to fall into a state of passivity.

Nora stared at her phone, wishing she knew what the man would do. Finally, when everyone was looking at him, her gaze suddenly landed on the camera and she stared at the screen.

It was as if he landed on Nora’s face through the screen!

Nora: “…”

Was this guy that perceptive?

Was it just a camera and he had already figured her out?

No, wait…

She had broken through the firewall created by Y. How could he not know? Besides, when Nora had invaded, she hadn’t encountered any obstacles. Did that mean that this man had allowed her to do it?

As if to confirm his thoughts, I hear him calmly say, “Yes, I was with my wife, that’s why I was delayed. Guys, please excuse me”.

Nora: “!!!”

Her face instantly flushed, Damn it!

What wife?

Who was his wife?

The two of them weren’t married yet, okay?

Nora pursed her lips and wished she could toss the phone aside.

She was really curious though, wouldn’t her aura disappear if she apologized?

Therefore, she couldn’t bear to throw her phone away.

However, the next moment, he said, “However, although we are a family business, how many family businesses have been destroyed by infighting? When Grandfather Hunt started working at Hunt Corporation, he established the rule that Hunt Corporation will never allow anyone to take advantage of us. In business, relationships are not important, only ability is.”

With that, he sat up straight. “Guys, let’s abandon all relationships now. In this room, there are only the president and directors.”

When he said these words, his attitude was still very light, but the words he said were not to be underestimated.

His aura instantly returned.

Everyone in the meeting room said in unison, “Yes, Mr. Hunt!”.

Herman: “…”

Nora, who was staring at the screen, expressed that she had learned something!

Although she didn’t have that many people to keep track of and it was useless to learn, she had to admit that the man’s calm and confident tone was really quite charming.

Nora wasn’t hungry either. She just stretched her legs out on the couch and lay there. She found a comfortable position and continued to stare at the screen.

In the meeting room.

Justin said a few words and put the situation behind him. Seeing this, Herman said, “Justin, you’re wrong to say that. Business is business, but a businessman has to be human first and be more loyal. How can you neglect someone who has contributed to the company? Isn’t this breaking an old man’s heart? For example, your Second Uncle has worked hard for many years for the company. Because of a mistake, you have taken away his position. If you are so ruthless to your own uncle, what about the other shareholders?”

With that, he sighed. “It’s my fault for not being there for you since you were little. Your grandfather and grandmother spoiled you.”

Justin didn’t speak and just looked at Lawrence.

Lawrence walked in with a document and handed it to the shareholders.

It was a list of all the projects Raymond had lost over the years!

Justin had never done anything to him because the few billions he had lost was a small sum to him, but….

Justin said sarcastically, “If we don’t remove him, should we let him continue to generate losses for the company? I don’t mind, but are all the directors in agreement?”

A few billion was a lot of money for these small shareholders who held a small part of the company’s shares!

Herman had just divided the money among the shareholders, but now, Justin was still using the shareholders’ money to persuade them.

Herman choked and looked at Raymond, feeling that his brother was really useless.

He continued to smile. “All right, let’s not talk about this today. Our mission today is to elect a new president. I’ve seen our financial statements. In the last six months, profits have stagnated, but the overseas market can expand. During the years I have been overseas, I have also accumulated some connections, so I am recommending myself. If I can become the president, then I will bring improvements to Hunt Corporation.”

With that, Raymond and Lauren applauded.

The other shareholders began to applaud as well.

Justin’s eyes narrowed.

Over the past six months, economic stagnation and bankruptcy were everywhere. It was only natural. Not to mention the Hunts, but even the Smiths couldn’t get away unscathed.

Herman was just getting started on this.

Justin grimaced and didn’t speak.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain, but it wasn’t necessary at all. The directors knew in their hearts that they wanted to play ignorant. Even if he called them on it, they wouldn’t wake up. If he explained, they would only show weakness.

Raymond couldn’t help but scoff, “Justin, did you hear that? You’ve crippled the Hunt Corporation. Is your crime more minor than mine? Besides, it’s obvious that real estate is very profitable, but all of a sudden you’ve called for it to be crippled and insisted on investing in the computer sector. The company has invested hundreds of millions, but there is no sign of profit? I know you have your own ideas, but you can’t gamble with the interests of the whole company!”

Lawrence argued, “A portion of the company’s investments are in electronics, and the electronics industry has always depended on foreign technologies. If we don’t develop our own technology and our supply from overseas is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable. President Hunt is looking at things from a lofty position for the future of Hunt Corporation. He cannot be short-sighted.”

Raymond pursed his lips and scoffed, “Why would the companies cut off our supply? They’re not stupid. Why would they turn down a good deal? Instead of spending billions on research and development, they might as well buy your product!”

Indeed, this was decided by Justin personally against everyone’s objections.

Shareholders were already unhappy about having to spend tens of billions on research and development every year. However, Justin was the head of the Hunts and held 51% of the shares. No matter what meeting he held, he could veto everyone.

Lawrence scoffed. “No need to wait ten years; five…no, just two. Just wait and see. The international market is changing rapidly. If we don’t plan ahead, we could be completely constrained! President Hunt’s decision is definitely farsighted!”

“Hey, stop calling him President Hunt here!” Raymond immediately stood up and banged on the table. “After today, who knows if he will still be President Hunt? Other than him, who else agrees with what he says Who here doesn’t have any complaints? In my opinion, he should step down as chairman and let Herman take over!”

Herman waved his hand. “Okay, Justin is still young and won’t listen to our advice. If I become president, the first thing I will do is cut the R&D fund. R&D can be done, but we can’t invest that much money.”

His words made Raymond clap his hands. “Herman is right. You should be the next president.”

Although Spencer disagreed with Justin’s actions, so many years had passed and they had disagreed many times!

For example, back then when he wanted to go into real estate, no one agreed. What happened in the end?

He had made a fortune in the last few years.

So, he followed Justin blindly. He said, “I think Chairman Hunt is still the best fit. After all, he has brought the company to where we are today. When have his decisions ever failed?”

Hearing this, a group of people began to argue.

The scene became chaotic.

Most people disagreed with Justin’s actions.

Seeing this, Herman was extremely pleased, especially when the few shareholders who had never approved of him also criticized Justin loudly.

Suddenly he said, “All right, now is not the time to scold him. Today is also not Justin’s appraisal meeting. First we will elect the new president. Now, let’s raise our hands and agree that I will replace Justin as president. Please raise your hand if you agree.”

With that, he looked at the shareholders.

All the other shareholders had been shot down by him, leaving only these few wavering shareholders.

Those few shareholders actually didn’t have many shares.

Together, they were 5%.

The six had earlier had a very strong dispute with Lawrence. Originally, they were very hesitant, but Raymond’s words hit their soft spot.

Therefore, when this was said, those people hesitated for a moment. In the end, three of them raised their hands!

How nice!

The three of them held 3% of the shares, and Justin only received support from the other three at most, only 48%! Added to Spencer’s 1%, he only had 49%?

Herman had had a complete victory this time!

Herman and Raymond smiled. Raymond had already started congratulating him. “Herman, congratulations, hahaha!”

Herman also said, “I will need everyone’s cooperation in the future…”

Neither of them saw that someone in the corner had not raised his hand ….
