Chapter 1422 1417: Absolute Control
A Yimena executive was arguing passionately.But what faced him was: "Sorry, I now formally inform you as the owner of the largest shareholder, you are fired!"
The man in the gold-rimmed suit spoke coldly in the meeting room, intensifying the already unsettled atmosphere.
Firing a department executive so decisively shocked quite a few people.
Is it wise to stand out at such a time?
Can such firm support for Lin Xi lead to a good outcome?
"You don't have that authority!" Lin Xi's face was already as miserable as it could get.
Her position as CEO hadn't been completely removed yet, but now the opponent was firing company members right in front of her, how could she accept it?
"Do I have it then?" Li Yun stood up and said with certainty.
Even Lin Xi felt a bit unsure facing Li Yun, after all, Li Yun had been famous for a long time, and he was one of the prominent business tycoons in Jiangdu, a wealthy magnate.
His personal attendance at Yimena's board restructuring meeting today was already a very clear signal.
He wanted to finalize the atmosphere at Yimena, ensuring there were no longer any dissenting voices against the Li Group within Yimena.
As for what kind of shape Yimena would be in when Zhang Biao took over again, that was beyond his control.
He only needed to ensure nothing went wrong when he took charge of Yimena.
"Chairman Li, I respect you very much, but you don't understand the affairs of Yimena Group..."
"I might not, but someone does. Chairman Lin, do you think this person should be fired?" Li Yun smiled slightly, giving a smile toward the seated shareholders.
A man with an ambiguous and sallow face, who appeared to be a young middle-aged man, stood up.
He looked about thirty, but the unhealthiness on his face was evident.
"Since Chairman Li has become the majority shareholder of Yimena, he naturally has the authority to handle Yimena's affairs. Dismissing someone who doesn't know their place is the right thing to do," Lin Hanyi's words left Lin Xi stunned.
Lin Hanyi was a member of the Lin family and also Lin Xi's elder; according to seniority, Lin Xi should call him Uncle Lin.
But now, Lin Hanyi wasn't siding with her, instead helping Li Yun.
This psychological blow was even stronger than the Li Group taking over Yimena.
In the eyes of the Lin family, was she really that untrustworthy and worthless?
No, perhaps not worthless, but rather, no longer as valuable.
The Lin family could 'sell' her for ten billion back then, so selling her again wasn't an extraordinary thing.
At that moment, Lin Xi probably also understood why Li Yun could own thirty-five point five percent of Yimena Group's shares—because the Lin family had sold some of their shares to him!
"If you wanted money, couldn't you at least talk to me first?" Lin Xi gritted her teeth, her face pale.
"Money? Do you still have any money left? Do you even know how high Chairman Li's offer was for ten percent of the shares?" Lin Hanyi said without any regard for emotions.
Lin Hanyi was less than ten years older than Lin Xi, but he was Lin Xi's father's brother, highly favored in the family.
All of the Lin family's shares in Yimena were under Lin Hanyi's name.
Lin Hanyi didn't even need to inform anyone before deciding to sell Yimena's shares.
Moreover, this guy was a thorough addict; he was short of cash, and Li Yun offered him an irresistible high price, so the deal was unexpectedly sealed.
Ten percent of the shares!
Initially, Li Yun just wanted to try to acquire five percent of the shares; with this five percent, he could surpass Lin Xi's previous holding to become the largest shareholder.
But unexpectedly, Lin Hanyi gave him a big surprise.
After setting the price, Lin Hanyi made a surprising request: could he buy more?
For this request, Li Yun naturally found no reason to refuse, so in the end, he acquired ten percent of Yimena's shares from Lin Hanyi.
Actually, Lin Hanyi initially intended to sell all the shares he held in one go to Li Yun.
After all, the price Li Yun offered was much higher than during Yimena's peak stock price, given Yimena's current operating conditions and various scandal crises.
It was incredibly difficult for Yimena to turn a profit again.
Missing this opportunity might make it very hard to find another chance to offload Yimena, so Lin Hanyi chose to sell his shares to Li Yun.
As he said, if he didn't sell to Li Yun, did Lin Xi have the money to buy the shares back?
Even if Lin Xi had the money, could her offer be as high as Li Yun's?
At this moment, in Lin Hanyi's eyes, money was the true priority!
"So now, President Lin, do you have any other questions? Do you think I have the right to deal with an unqualified company employee?" said Li Yun warmly.
But the edge in his words made everyone shiver involuntarily.
Lin Xi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. After a long time, she finally spoke calmly: "Chairman Li, I think your most urgent need should be to demand a board reorganization, and this matter can be postponed."
"What you want most should be to drive me out of the position of Yimena's CEO, right?"
In the end, Lin Xi stared at Li Yun as she spoke, word for word.
Li Yun couldn't help but clap his hands: "President Lin is indeed a remarkable woman. I admit, I might have underestimated you before. I didn't expect you could regain three percent of the shares in such a short period, without much capital in hand."
Yes, Lin Xi really had no money left.
This three-point-three percent of shares didn't come for free.
Lin Xi obtained the funds only after mortgaging her villa to the bank.
This money was already the last bit of money Lin Xi could muster; to get more cash, she might even have to mortgage her car.
"However, I now hold thirty-five-point-five percent of Yimena Group's shares, making me the largest shareholder of Yimena Group. Additionally, Chairman Lin's current opinions align with mine, and under your leadership, Yimena is no longer bringing benefits to our company."
"Considering the interests of most shareholders, my current request to remove Miss Lin Xi as a shareholder shouldn't be too much, right?" Li Yun was assured.
He held thirty-five-point-five percent of the shares, and Lin Hanyi held fifteen-point-five percent of the shares.
The combined shares of the two of them totaled exactly fifty-one percent of Yimena's total share capital!
This power had already achieved absolute control!
Thus, there was no impropriety in the request to replace the CEO.
