Chapter 1305 Take the Lead in Making Trouble
"Reject the acquisition?" Hearing such a sensitive word, the richest man raised his brows, and turned his attention to the original shareholders behind him. "Is this an opinion of one of you? If so, why wasn't it brought up earlier?"
"Misunderstanding, all of this is a misunderstanding." The shareholders who have already obtained the money and completely converted their assets into strong RMB now dare not offend such an existence as the richest man Wang. So they nodded and bowed immediately, explaining in a respectful enough manner. "This is definitely something that was stirred up by those guys in the management. CEO Wharton has always had a special discrimination against the Chinese. He has been dragging his feet since the beginning of the deployment of the mainland strategy. Now the company's performance has dropped a large part It's his responsibility. We have taught him a lesson before. We thought this guy could restrain himself a little at this time, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing at this time. Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we will definitely give you An account."
"Give me an explanation?" Hearing this explanation, Wang Shoufu's face immediately changed color. Especially when he heard that the CEO actually discriminated against the Chinese, his eyes showed a cold look. This made him say very bluntly immediately. "No need, your current identities can't give me an explanation. Didn't he want to ask for an explanation? Let him in, I want to see what kind of explanation he wants to ask for!"
After all, 21st Century Fox already belongs to Wang's richest man, which in disguise means that he controls the fate of the entire company's employees. So even if the assistant didn't get any hints from any of the shareholders, he still made a bold decision at this time. That is to do as the richest man said.
He pushed open the door and let in a crowd of people who were crowded outside. And just after Wharton, the CEO of 21st Century Fox, walked in with a group of people, he immediately closed the door and called the security department eagerly.
In his view, the dust has settled, and no matter how hard the management struggles, it is absolutely impossible to resist the order of the board of directors. There have always been only high-level managers who have packed their bags, and there have been no big directors who have not been kicked out by the management. So how to choose is an obvious question at all.
CEO Wharton doesn't know what a little guy like an assistant thinks. He only knew that he could never let a Chinese settle in Fox, so as soon as he walked in, he shouted at all the shareholders at the top of his voice.
"Gentlemen, you can't do this. You can't just sell the company without discussing it with management. It's not in the rules, and it's not in the interest of all of us. It's impossible for all employees, up and down the company. I promised you such behavior. Therefore, no matter what you have done, you must stop now!"
"Mr. Wharton, you are just a professional manager hired by us. You don't have the qualifications to decide what we should do. The equity transaction of the board of directors is our own behavior, which belongs to our freedom. You can't do it in any way. Violate our freedom.
"
As soon as Wharton said such a thing, some shareholders immediately refuted him. In their opinion, if this bastard didn't get involved suddenly, they could still establish a certain friendship with Wang's richest man. Judging from the current situation, if they can hug the thigh of the richest man, then they will obviously be able to obtain huge benefits in the future. This is a good thing they have dreamed of for a long time, and now, this bastard has ruined it all. So naturally, their hearts were full of resentment towards him, and even the way they spoke became rude.
Although the CEO is just a part-time employee, he is the top of the entire management after all. This is a pivotal figure, not only for the employees of the entire company, but also for the directors of these boards. So most of the time, people will be willing to sell him a face. Even when there was a problem with the performance of the entire company, the company's board of directors did not use any harsh words against him, but now, the company's directors actually started to talk to him with such an attitude, which really surprised him .
why? Are the people on the board crazy? Almost involuntarily, such thoughts popped up in Wharton's mind. And when he saw the richest man Wang standing in the middle of the board of directors, he immediately blamed him for everything. And this made him immediately yell at Wang's richest man.
"It's you, it must be you, what did you say in the board of directors, what kind of ecstasy did you give them? Wang, let me tell you, I know what the hell you're up to. You want to put Fox Become your own? With me here, don’t even think about it. I will never let a Chinese settle in Fox, you can give up! You can’t get anything you want here, you can do it , all you have to do is go back to your trash dump honestly!"
Wharton thought that everything was not a foregone conclusion, so the way he spoke was also very blunt. And the reason why he used such almost verbal attacks against the richest man was not only because he wanted to vent his anger, but also because he wanted to embarrass the richest man in this way.
In his opinion, in such a short period of time, the richest man Wang and the members of the board of directors have at most reached a basic intention. Before the final agreement is signed, the attitude and intention of both parties are the key to whether an absolute agreement can be reached. But at this time, as long as he embarrassed the richest man, he would not be able to hold his head up in the entire company. Then it is almost certain that, as a wealthy Chinese man, he must not be able to continue this kind of negotiation.
Although capitalists are shameless, it is behind their backs. On the bright side, they cherish these things on the face more than most people.
It can be said that Wharton's calculation is very good. He himself praised his quick wit. However, when he saw the inexplicable smile on Wang Shoufu's face and the strange expressions on the faces of those shareholders, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Is there something that I haven't noticed? He couldn't help asking himself, but he couldn't get an answer at all. Moreover, he who has already done such a thing obviously has no turning back. So immediately, he said in an even harsher tone.
"What are you looking at, you yellow-skinned monkey. Do you think we're going to make you the master of USA Network? Don't even think about it, we're noble Americans, and we're never going to let a monkey sit on our heads superior."
If the previous words were just metaphorical sarcasm, the current words are definitely a personal attack with obvious racial discrimination. And as long as such a sentence is said, even if it is based on the current national conditions of the United States, it will definitely cause an uproar in public opinion.
There is no other reason. In any case, Wharton is also a well-known figure. The CEO of 21Fox is almost a person who is used as the front of the news media. If such a person shows any obvious racial discrimination attitude, it is impossible for other ethnic groups in the whole country to forgive him. At that time, not only will he be unlucky, but Fox will also suffer.
However, since he said this sentence, of course he has nothing to fear. First of all, everyone here did not take out their mobile phones to take pictures, and there is no camera in the shareholder meeting room, so there is no physical evidence to prove that he said these words. And the testimony of the witnesses is even more so. Those behind him are all his subordinates, and of course they will stand by his side. As for the shareholders, even if they have any opinion on him. With the richest man Wang about to leave in anger, it is absolutely impossible for them to do anything to self-destruct the Great Wall. Wharton was sure of that, so he was completely safe.
However, what he didn't expect was that his approach did not bring him everything he wanted, but instead made him fall into the abyss in an instant.
"Mr. Wharton. I originally thought that as the CEO of 21st Century Fox, you should be a noble person first in terms of character and morality. But now it seems that you are not like this. As news The CEO of a media company, you have such obvious racist tendencies, which makes me doubt whether you are qualified to continue to sit in this position. No, this is no longer a suspicion. It is affirmation, I am sure you are not like this qualifications. So I hereby solemnly announce to you that you are fired. At least before the end of work today, I hope the board of directors can receive your resignation. Otherwise, I will make your racial discrimination news public and make you forced to Get off Forks. You know what I mean?"
The sudden words of Wang's richest man immediately made Wharton's brain a little short. He looked at the shareholders, and after seeing the smiles on their faces, he immediately felt regretful. However, there is no regret medicine in this world. So he could only hold his neck and speak forcefully.
"Fire me, you are not a member of the company's board of directors, you are not qualified to do that!"
"No, of course he is qualified to do so." Murdoch's representative in the company, who was also the largest shareholder of 21st Century Fox, raised his voice at this time. "Just now, we have completed the equity transfer agreement with Mr. Wang. He now owns 51% of Fox's shares. In other words, he has absolute control over the entire 21st Century Fox. So , just like he said, Wharton. You've been fired. If it's for your own good, just submit your resignation honestly, don't embarrass us all! And don't embarrass the people around you !"
As soon as these words came out, the scene froze instantly.
