Chapter 330: Resignation at the first disagreement

In the shareholders' meeting room on the 34th floor of the Tang Bank headquarters building, when Tang Ran and Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin successively said that they wanted to resign from all their positions and were willing to hand over their shares, everyone was in a state of confusion.

All the shareholders, including Tang An and Tang Jingming, felt that they had been left behind by the times. They simply couldn't imagine how Tang Ran, as the chairman of Tang Yin Bank, and Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin, as the most prestigious members of the Tang family, could resign at a moment's notice. Could it be that they knew their transfer of 30 billion yuan had been exposed?

If so, that would be plausible, but there were no children present, so naturally no one would believe such nonsense.

Three hundred billion is indeed a considerable sum, but that is only for ordinary people. For the huge Tang family, it is just a slightly more troublesome figure, especially for Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin.

Tang Ran and his family don't know it as clearly, but Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin are known to many shareholders. They are deeply rooted in the Tang family's land and control many enterprises in their hands. Not to mention making up for the 30 billion yuan is a breeze, but at least it is not so bad that they can't solve it and they have to resign. They also have to return all the shares they control. This is incredible no matter how you think about it.

But if it wasn't for the 30 billion, why would they choose to resign? I don't believe it if you say that you didn't resign on purpose.

'Now that I've told you my story, Mr. Tang An, it's your turn,' said Tang Ran.

With this unexpected remark, Tang An suddenly became embarrassed. He replied, 'I need to tell the chairman of Tangren Bank about my business. Since you are no longer the chairman, I will not tell you now.'

In fact, he was embarrassed because he had specially called this shareholders' meeting today to produce evidence of the 30 billion to pressure Tang Ran and the others, but now that the other party had resigned before he had even said anything, what was there left for him to say?

Do you mean to say that we should continue to pursue Tang Ran and the others for responsibility?

This is not impossible, after all, 30 billion is not a small sum, but the shareholders have all heard about the internal power struggle between Tang An and Tang Ran. Even though Tang Ran and the others were in the wrong this time . Now that they have resigned from the main cave, it would be good if they just left. If they are forced to the wall, it will leave a very bad impression on other shareholders, which is definitely not acceptable.

It is also for this reason, Tang An could only tolerate the 30 billion yuan. He had to wait until the storm passed before taking it out. Even though he said that, Tang An still deliberately stabbed Tang Ran in his words and actions to show off his proud posture as the victor.

Tang Ran was very unhappy and frowned. She then said to Tang An, 'I was going to give you all my shares, but now I think we should go to the board meeting first and trade our shares there. What do you think?'

Tang An was a little surprised. Tang Ran then explained again: 'It's simple. We paid a lot to get the bank's shares in the first place, so today, when we hand over our shares, it's not not for nothing. It needs to be bought by the shareholders who want it. If Vice Chairman Tang An has no objections, I can sell my shares to anyone who can afford to pay the price.'

Before had not yet finished falling, before the shareholders present had gone mad, Tang An hastily took over and said, 'Of course I heard it! I have strong opinions about this. These are shares with equity rights, how can they be bought and sold at will? a board meeting must be called!

Tang An of course had an opinion. After all, the reason he went to such lengths to get Tang Ran and the others out of the way was none other than these shares with equity.

These shares with equity rights are different from the junk shares on the stock market that only pay dividends. They are the shares that actually have management rights in the Tangren Bank. They are usually only in the hands of certain people, just like the position of clan chief and are passed down from generation to generation, only to be inherited after the previous generation has died. They are basically impossible to buy, and there is no market for them at all. Now if they become cheaper for someone else, then he will really have no tears left to cry.

It was also for this reason that Tang An and Tang Jingming immediately agreed with Tang Ran's words and actively responded by calling for a board meeting.

Seeing Tang An and Jingming's cooperation, Ran and Jingsheng Tang and Huiyin Tang quickly ended this shareholders' meeting and left the scene, while An and the others also ended the meeting immediately and followed them. So a few minutes later, they all gathered in the board meeting room.

'Chairman Chairman, and Brother Jingsheng, what on earth is going on? Why have you suddenly resigned? Could it really be because of the 30 billion capital? But you all know that it's not a big deal. Tang Ran's father had a much bigger problem before, and we all got through it together, didn't we? And What's more, the demand to hand over shares with voting rights is a major issue that could shake Tangren Bank to its core. You must think twice before acting!'

Someone came into the meeting room and hurriedly advised Tang Ran and Tang Jingsheng, but Tang An and Tang Jingming would only be getting in the way.

'I agree with what you're saying, but since this is a decision for Ran and Jingsheng, I think we should just go along with it. Besides, Jingsheng has been looking after the entire Tang family for 20 years, and after such a long time, he should be tired. We should let him take a break,' said Tang Jingming.

Facing Tang Jingming's words, everyone's attention focused on Tang Ran and Tang Jingsheng. Tang Ran shrugged meaninglessly, then said to Tang An and the others, 'Our shares shares, even if they are sold on the board of directors, are still a transaction. Therefore, if you, Mr. Tang An and Mr. Tang Jingming, want to buy them, you must first prepare sufficient funds. Otherwise, I will not sell them.'

In response, Tang An and Tang Jingming both waved their hands with a big smile, saying, 'Don't worry, we are prepared to pay if we want to buy. Even if we don't have enough money, we will sell our company to get the money!'

Tang Ran raised her eyebrows raised an eyebrow: 'Selling the company is not necessary. If you really don't have enough funds, you can use the company as collateral.'

'Deal!'

Almost as soon as Tang Ran had finished speaking, Tang An happily clapped his hands. However, he did not know that it was this sentence that brought them into trouble.

And when Tang Ran Tang Jingsheng and others were in the boardroom of the Tang Dynasty Bank building discussing a share transaction, while on the San Francisco Bay, Zhou Ming was negotiating another deal.

It was a a luxury cruise ship that had sailed from the Inner Harbour. The ship belonged to the Harbor City Shipping Group and was originally intended for ocean voyages, but it happened to sail to California, so Tong Gang borrowed it.

The originally large luxury ballroom had been converted into a meeting room. Zhou Ming, Lin Muqing, Tong Gang and Li Cheng sat on one side, while on the other side sat more than ten people.

These people looked at Zhou Ming. They all stared at each other. The last one, an older man with black-rimmed glasses, asked, 'Gentlemen, I am very grateful for your generous hospitality, for which we have even cancelled many things today, but you have to tell us what you really want to do.'

Someone took the lead, and the others all chimed in: 'That's right! I'm still a shareholder of Tangren Bank, and I didn't even go to the Tangren Bank shareholders' meeting this morning! I also have a very important meeting today, and the governor will be there! My futures delivery is also today, and I've been waiting for this for half a year! I also have to meet with investors...' investors…'

Faced with these reasons, Zhou Ming laughed and said, 'I don't understand why you have to tell me so many excuses. I just have a deal to discuss with you, and I don't mean to keep you under house arrest.'

At Zhou Ming's explanation explanation, these people just laughed, and some even glanced out the window, clearly thinking that the boat had already sailed out to sea, so why should they care what you say?

Zhou Ming couldn't understand, but it was too much trouble to explain, so Zhou Ming was too lazy to explain, and just let them guess. Zhou Ming said to them, 'I really here to talk to you about a deal, regarding the shares of Jinghui Private Bank and Tangyin Institutional Asset Management. We want to gain absolute control of these two companies.'

After listening to Zhou Ming's explanation, not only did these people not understand, they were even more confused: 'But we don't have any shares in the two companies you mentioned.'

Zhou Ming then explained: 'I know you don't have any, and in fact it's not that simple to obtain the shares of these two companies. But I know that the companies you have invested in all hold a certain shareholding, so the deal I want to talk to you about today is that we need everyone's help to acquire all the shareholdings in these two companies that we can see.'

At this point, Zhou Ming paused for a moment and continued, 'Of course I won't let you help me for nothing. I will buy it at a fixed price, and there will inevitably be some difference in the middle.'

Zhou Ming looked at the people in front of him everyone in front of him and said, 'You are all very clever businessmen. I think you all understand what I'm saying, don't you?'

As Zhou Ming spoke, many people all broke into smiles. It was the man with the black-rimmed glasses who said, 'This is a very complicated acquisition, and it needs to be indirectly transferred through the company we invest in. I think there there will be a lot of losses, but we are all businessmen, and if the difference in price is high enough, I think I would still be very willing to do it.'

Zhou Ming was very happy about this and gave a big wave of his hand: 'You can rest assured. If you do business with me, you will definitely not be disadvantaged.'

'Then we can rest assured!'

With Zhou Ming's guarantee, many people let out a sigh of relief, but some were curious and asked, 'As far as I know, both Kingmark Private Bank and Tangyin Institutional Asset Management are very powerful companies with huge assets under management. You're still paying a high price for the acquisition, do you have that much money?'

'Don't worry about the money worry about money. Since I have chosen to make the deal, I will definitely pay. There may be a shortage of funds in the meantime, but I will also complete the payment by mortgaging the company or other assets.' Zhou Ming replied. Seeing that some people still seemed to be unconvinced, so he finally said, 'With the guarantee of the Port City United Investment Fund, Port City Shipping Group and Changhe Industrial Group, what else do you have to worry about?'

By citing these three Port City and even world giant companies as guarantors, these people finally believed it. Seeing that they believed it, Zhou Ming finally let out a sigh of relief.
