The next day.
Morning.
The first Board of Directors meeting of ERV was officially convened.
Naturally.
The chairman and CEO were still the Fighter, and although a board existed, the Fighter had the final say in all major and minor matters. The contract made it very clear, other companies only participated in profit sharing and were kept informed.
Including the authority over managing finances, this was usual practice.
After the Vice Chairman finished reading the board's statutes, appointments, and introductions of some key figures at ERV, Winters curiously asked, "Chairman, what did you previously mention about the ongoing ERV?"
IDG Group was the first to jump out in support of ERV, and Winters was astonished at the time; it was obvious that there must have been a private deal with McGowan, but the specifics of the deal were unknown.
Seeing the curious gazes of all directors.
The Fighter stood up.
