Chapter 745



.

Among the more than one hundred shareholders present, apart from Justin, who held 46%.

-the second branch held 5%, and the third only 1%. This was because the third branch had previously transferred its shares to Justin. This was also Grandfather Hunt’s wish. He did not want the shares to be split, so when they split then, they had taken less shares and more cash.

Over the years, Justin had privately given them dividends on the other four percent of the shares.

Other than keeping the majority, the rest of the shares were concentrated in a few shareholders.

One of them was Justin’s subordinate, Sean. Sean held five percent of the shares. Philip had spent a lot of money to buy 5%, and the six hesitant shareholders represented 5%.

Actually, it wasn’t the entire board of directors. Only the six were hesitant. It was mainly because the other shareholders held very few shares. Some could even be ignored.

There were a few dozen people, but they represented only 1%.

Herman had spent a lot of money privately to buy 20% of the shares, almost spending all his savings over the years.

Along with the 5% Justin had given him, Philip’s 5% was also managed by him. Thus, he had a total of 30% of the shares.

Herman found some other shareholders and forced them to lean towards him. Therefore, it did not matter to him that four-fifths of the dozens of shareholders did not support him.

This was because his shares totaled only 1%.

In addition, Elder Mrs. Hunt still held 5% of the shares of Hunt Corporation. The other shareholders had agreed to his request and had even received profits from him…. After some calculations, Herman felt that victory was within his grasp.

He stood up and said, “All right, Justin. I am now president of the company. I’ll have to organize your next job. Are you going to stay with the company or what? I don’t think any other company would dare take you on, though, would they?”

Justin raised his eyebrows.

Raymond added salt on the wound. “Herman, I object to Justin staying! Unless he apologizes to all of us for his arrogance in the past.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. The pantry girl brought in the tea cart and poured coffee for everyone.

When Raymond saw this, he waved his hand. “Go away.”

Then, he looked at Justin. “Justin, you do it. You’ve been unreasonable in the company all these years. How many people have you reprimanded? Apologize to everyone now. We’re not that petty. If your apology is sincere enough, we’ll accept your staying with the company.”

Spencer frowned. “Raymond, you’re out of line!”

With that said, Raymond scoffed. “Spencer, don’t say such stupid things here. After all, you’ve been eating for free all these years, haven’t you? You haven’t done anything and you haven’t been scolded either. How can you understand our pain of being scolded by a junior?”

Raymond felt he had turned over a new leaf. He pointed to the coffee cart and said, “Justin, let’s start with me. I want two scoops of sugar, not milk.”

Justin: “…”

He remained seated firmly and didn’t move at all.

Raymond frowned and looked at him, “You’re not going to move? Why, you’ll only apologize if the president himself says so?”

Saying this, Raymond looked at Herman. “Herman, look how arrogant he is. In the past, when you were gone, he was always so arrogant. Now that you’re back, you have to teach him to respect his elders! He needs to be more modest! He shouldn’t be so haughty.”

Justin continued to sit there watching them behave like clowns.

A staff member was recording the day’s voting data.

In reality, there weren’t many people actually supporting Herman today. Not even one in five. As for the shares, they had to be calculated….

The inspector continued to calculate…

He looked past Sean….

Sean was Justin’s subordinate, but Justin was clearly different from his two assistants. Normally, Lawrence followed at his side most of the time.

Also, Lawrence was a very stingy person. He often teased Sean in the company and liked to go against him.

Everyone knew that Sean was very unhappy with President Hunt. After all, President Hunt was too biased between him and Lawrence.

Therefore, Herman was the first to contact Sean. Sean hesitated for a long time and only agreed after Herman promised him many benefits.

But…

The inspector swallowed his breath and wanted to say something….

Sean did not raise his hand. His 5% shares together with President Hunt’s alone were 51%… not to mention the support of the third family people and most of the small shareholders….

I really wanted to remind him, but seeing that Justin said nothing, he continued to calculate silently….

After Raymond said this, Spencer said, “Raymond, don’t be so anxious. You haven’t even taken office, but you’re already anxious to get even. Your table manners are too horrible. Besides, there are only a little over a dozen people who have raised their hands in support of Herman!”

Raymond smiled. “So what if it’s even less than ten people? Look at them – those 7 or 8 people only have 1% of the shares! Even if they all support Justin, Justin only has 49% of the shares at most. My brother still has the majority.”

With that, he looked at Justin proudly. “Justin, are you feeling very uncomfortable? It’s only 49% or so, you lost to Herman narrowly. This is your payback.”

“Who asked you to be so dominant? That’s why your relationships are so bad! Look, which of these majority shareholders likes you? If you were a little more respectful to them, you wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

He stood up and continued, “We majority shareholders don’t lack money at all! We care about our image and our sense of accomplishment, but have you ever given it to us? Heh.”

Justin raised his eyebrows. “You should earn an image and dignity yourselves, you don’t get them for free.”

“Earn it ourselves? Ha, how funny you are! Then don’t talk about me. Tell me about your favorite subordinate, Sean. He must have done quite a bit of work for the company! He’s done so much for you all these years, but didn’t he betray you today?”

With that, everyone’s eyes landed on Sean in the corner.

Raymond pointed at him. “Look at him – don’t you feel bad…. Sean, why don’t you have your hand up?”

Almost as he finished speaking, the inspector said quietly, “Shareholders, the calculations are done …”
