Planning for the Lu Corporation Board Meeting - Part 8

Sunday, continued …

CEO Lu, having listened to his son, taking in his honest assessment and information, which even he had to admit to himself was unusual.

"However the one good thing about their charter is that is requires companies that are not market traded to reveal the ultimate owners of their shares so no one can hide what was being done.
