Chapter 257: Let your master come to see me!
Here, Abel is still trying to meet the top leadership of Wells Fargo through John Mellon and cooperate with Wells Fargo to carry out this acquisition.
On the other side, the general manager of Oasis Investment, who received the boss's imperial edict, Alvertley excitedly took Oasis Investment's proof of holding 17% of Viacom shares and set off for Hollywood, Los Angeles, and asked to meet with Summer Redstone, chairman of the Viacom board of directors.
On Viacom's side, most people don't know that Oasis Investment is acquiring Viacom. Many people are inexplicably aware of it, and only some senior executives have heard of it.
No matter what.
After a preliminary understanding, Alvertley's operation was very unpopular, and Viacom did not give him a good look.
And soon after.
Lei Shidong, who failed the negotiation, returned to Viacom in anger.
My butt is not hot yet.
I heard about this.
Lei Shidong was so angry that he felt palpitations and almost went over.
But no matter how angry you are, people still need to see you. Because although Oasis Investment holds Class A shares that do not have much voting rights, the law and the market recognize it. With these 17% of the shares, Oasis Investment is now the largest shareholder of Viacom!
Anyway, Alvertley was not Xiao Baiding after all, and Lei Shidong still met him.
Inside a conference room in Viacom.
Alvertley acted respectfully, but his words were unambiguous. "Mr. Redstone, this is a proof that Oasis Investment has held 17% of Viacom shares. I would like to ask Mr. Redstone to convene a board meeting and invite the representative of Oasis Investment to join the Viacom board of directors."
"Maybe, our Oasis Investment is still the largest shareholder, so please do not arrange ordinary director seats."
Know that Abel holds a lot of shares in Viacom.
But Lei Shidong didn't expect that although the other party already held so much, even he didn't have so many ordinary shares!
If it weren't for the absolute control of the Class B stocks he held, Viacom would not be his Leishidong's final word.
Lei Shidong, who was unexpected, shivering with reading glasses, opened the certificate documents and saw that he was shocked and angry, and slapped the table in anger, "It's too much! You want to join the board of directors and let your master come to talk in person!"
In the world of business, although Redstone Dong has a high status, Alvertley, who is backed by a big tree, is not afraid of him now.
Alvertley said expressionlessly: "Mr. Redstone, according to the Federal Company Law, Oasis Investment has an obligation to disclose its shares in Viacom. You must also hold a board meeting to invite representatives of Oasis Investment to serve as directors."
"If Mr. Lei Shidong does not cooperate, Oasis Investment can only enter the newspaper to declare first, and then seek legal aid from the federal judicial and state governments. I am afraid that everyone's face will not look good at that time."
Lei Shidong snorted, "That boy Sefrosa is so cruel. I'll be proud of you so soon to send a war letter?"
Alvertley smiled playfully, "Mr. Chairman is busy. However, when Mr. Lei Shidong holds the board meeting, Mr. Chairman of Oasis Investment will definitely be present."
"When will Mr. Lei Shidong hold a board meeting?"
Lei Shidong leaned on the chair and said slowly: "At present, many of our directors are not in Los Angeles, and some are even abroad. I'm afraid the board of directors will have to push back before it can be held."
"I understand what Mr. Thunderstone Dong means." Before leaving, Alvertley said lightly: "Oasis Investment will publish a statement in the newspaper after three days, requiring Viacom to hold a board meeting within seven days! If nothing else, I will leave first, Mr. Thunderstone Dong."
Lei Shidong was too lazy to say a sentence of "I'm not far away to give it away", but just waved his hand impatiently.
After the Oasis Investment group left.
Lei Shidong was a little calmer.
He immediately looked at another senior executive of the company beside him, Philip Dowman, who is also the CEO of Viacom.
"You should contact us quickly! Let those institutions that hold our stocks try not to sell their stocks!"
"And...I don't want our Class B stocks to be sold!"
Philip Dawman nodded.
But he looked embarrassed: "Where is the lady and the husband...if the other party comes to them..."
Lei Shidong's face became even more ugly.
This talks about his sadness.
One of the things that Lei Shidong, who is in his seventies, has been worried about for the past 20 years, is to worry about the heirs of his media empire.
Originally, the son inherited his father's business and the family industry was inherited by the family. This kind of thing is common in the European and American worlds and is the most normal thing.
A long time ago.
Lei Shidong's son and daughter are also doing well.
But the embarrassing thing is that in the past decade, there has been a family lawsuit, and he and his son have one blow.
Then soon after, he spoke ill of his daughter Sally and then disqualified her successor. Within the company, he drove away several of his CEOs.
There are too many competitive and inhumane personality. Because of this personality, Lei Shidong seems to be more afraid of facing the inevitable fact: as he gets older, he will sooner or later give up his power.
Just like those old emperors of feudal dynasties.
This old emperor of the media empire didn't want to hand over power early. The result was that the older he lived, the worse his relationship with his son and daughter was. Until now, he even felt a little old and never had any contact.
Even in the will.
For the elderly in Europe and the United States, he was not allowed to participate in the coffin carrying persons who had a great significance after his death.
He didn't want his biological children, Brent and Sally, to participate in any funeral decisions.
Even he made a direct statement: "I have stated before that some family members cannot be allowed to attend."
Residing by his loyal subordinates, Resdong became in a bad mood.
Because he suddenly thought.
One of my least favorite children, Sally, her daughter, holds 20% of the shares of National Entertainment Company.
The National Entertainment Company is also known as the National Entertainment Company, referred to as N.A.I..
This is a theater chain under the name of the Redstone family, and it is also the actual holding company of CBS and Viacom. It holds the largest share of Class B shares in these two companies, and the voting rights are also the highest among these two companies.
It can be said that if you can master this company, you can control giants like Viacom and CBS just for a little money.
Because of this, Thunderstone has tried every means to let her daughter Sally sell her shares to herself for years.
But obviously he failed.
But later between 2015 and 2017, when Lei Shidong's health was deteriorating, his daughter returned to her and took care of him for a long time.
Seeing a wealthy family’s grudges, they may have completely disappeared and returned to normal after Lei Shidong’s death.
But the problem is...
Lei Shidong is in great health!
The 90-year-old man's health improved rapidly with his daughter's sincere service...
Then...
My daughter was driven away by this inhumane and mean old man again.
Lei Shidong takes over the company again!
Chapter completed!
