Chapter 1305 Take the lead in making trouble Jumping beam clown
"Refuse to buy?" Hearing such a sensitive word, Wang Shoufu raised his eyebrows and set his eyes on the original shareholders behind him. "Is this the opinion of one of you? If so, why didn't you bring it up before? β
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." The shareholders who have already got the money and completely turned the assets in their hands into a strong renminbi now dare not offend the existence of Wang Shoufu. So they immediately nodded their heads and explained with a respectful look. "It's definitely something that the guys in management have stirred up. CEO Wharton has always had a special sense of discrimination against the Chinese, and he has been dragging his feet since the beginning of the deployment of the mainland strategy, and now he is responsible for a large part of the company's declining performance. We've taught him a lesson before, and we thought this guy would be able to restrain a little at this time, but we didn't expect him to do such a thing at this time. Mr. Wang, don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation. β
"Give me an explanation?" Listening to this explanation, Wang Shoufu's face immediately changed color. Especially when he heard that the CEO actually discriminated against the Chinese, his eyes showed a cold look. This made him immediately say very politely. "No, you can't give me an explanation of who you are now. Didn't he ask for an explanation? Let him in, and I'll see what he wants! β
After all, Fox in the 21st Century is already the richest man in Wang, which is also equivalent to him controlling the fate of the entire company's employees. So even if the assistant didn't get any hints from any of the shareholders, he made a bold decision at this time. That is to do what the richest man Wang said.
He pushed the door open and let in a crowd of people outside. And as soon as Wharton, the CEO of Twenty-First Century Fox, walked in with a crowd, he immediately closed the door and called the security department in a hurry.
In his opinion, the dust has settled, and no matter how hard the management struggles, it is absolutely impossible to resist the orders of the board of directors. There has always been only a roll of senior management, and there have been no big directors who have been kicked out by the management. So the choice is simply an obvious question.
What does a little person like an assistant think, CEO Wharton doesn't know. He only knew that he would never let a single Chinese enter Fox, so as soon as he walked in, he shouted at all the shareholders at the top of his voice.
"Gentlemen, you can't do that. You can't just sell the company without discussing it with management. It's not in line with the rules, and it's not in the interest of all of us. It is impossible for all employees in the company to agree to such an act. So, whatever you've done, you have to stop now! β
"Mr. Wharton, you're just a professional manager we've hired here. You don't have that qualifications to decide what we are going to do. The equity trading of the board of directors is our own action, and it is our freedom. You can't infringe on our freedoms in any way. β
As soon as Wharton said this, a shareholder immediately retorted to him. In their opinion, if it weren't for this bastard suddenly getting involved, they would still be able to establish a certain friendship with Wang Shoufu. According to the current situation, if they can hug the thigh of the richest man, then they will obviously be able to obtain huge benefits in the future. It was a good thing they had dreamed of for a long time, and now, it was all ruined by this bastard. So naturally, their hearts were also full of resentment towards him, and even the way they spoke became unpolite.
Although the CEO is only a part-time worker, he is after all at the top of the entire management. This is a pivotal figure for the employees of the company as a whole, as well as for the directors of these boards. So most of the time, people will be willing to sell him a face. Even when there was a problem with the performance of the whole company, the company's board of directors did not use any harsh words against him, and now the company's directors began to speak to him with this attitude, which really surprised him.
Why is this happening? Are the board guys crazy? Almost uncontrollably, such a thought popped up in Wharton's heart. And when he saw Wang Shoufu, who was standing in the middle of the board of directors, he immediately put all the blame on him. And this made him immediately shout at the richest man Wang.
"It's you, it must be you, what the hell did you say in the boardroom, what kind of ecstasy did you pour into them? I'm telling you, Wang, I know what the hell you're up to, you want to make Fox your own? With me, don't even think about it. I will never let a Chinese settle in Fox, you can die! You don't get anything you want here, all you can do is honestly roll back into your garbage heap! β
Wharton thought that everything was not a foregone conclusion, so the way he spoke was also very polite. And the reason why he used such words that were almost verbal attacks to target Wang Shoufu was not only because he wanted to get rid of the evil breath in his heart, but also because he wanted to embarrass Wang Shoufu in this way.
In his opinion, in such a short period of time, the richest man Wang and the people on the board of directors have reached a basic intention at most. Before the final agreement is signed, the attitude and intention of both parties is the key to whether the absolute agreement can be reached. And at this time, as long as he embarrassed Wang Shoufu, he couldn't hold his head up in the whole company. Then it is almost certain that as a wealthy Chinese, he will definitely not be able to continue this kind of negotiation.
Although the capitalists are shameless, they are behind their backs. And on the bright side, they cherish these things more than most.
It can be said that Wharton has a very good calculation. He himself praised his quick wit. However, when he saw the inexplicable smile on the face of the richest man Wang and the strange looks on the faces of those shareholders, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Is there something you haven't noticed? He couldn't help but ask himself, but he couldn't get an answer at all. Moreover, he has already done such a thing, and there is obviously no turning back. So immediately, he said in an even more harsh tone.
"Look at what, you yellow-skinned monkey. Do you think we're going to make you the master of an American network? Don't even think about it, we are noble Americans, and we will never let a monkey sit on our heads. β
If the previous words were just metaphorical mockery, those current words are definitely personal attacks with obvious racial connotations. And as long as such a sentence is spoken, even judging from the current national conditions of the United States, it will definitely cause an uproar in public opinion.
For no other reason, Wharton is a well-known figure anyway. The CEO of Twenty-One Fox, who is almost the same as a news media faΓ§ade, is unlikely to be forgiven by any other ethnic group in the entire country for any overtly racist attitude. When the time comes, not only will he be unlucky, but he will also suffer with Fox.
However, since he said this, of course he also has no fear. First of all, no one here took out their phones to take pictures, plus there were no cameras in the shareholder room, so there was no physical evidence to prove that he said these things. And the people who testify are even more so, those behind him are his subordinates, and of course they will be on their side. And the shareholders, even if they have any opinions about him. In the case that Wang Shoufu is about to be angry with him, it is absolutely impossible for them to do anything to destroy the Great Wall. Wharton was sure of that, so he was completely unafraid.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his approach didn't bring him everything he wanted, but instead made him fall into the abyss in an instant.
"Mr. Wharton. I thought that as the CEO of 21st Century Fox, you should first be a noble person in terms of character and morality. But in retrospect, it doesn't seem like you're so. As the CEO of a news media company, you have such obvious racist tendencies, which makes me wonder if you are qualified to continue to sit in this position. No, it's not a suspicion anymore. But for sure, I'm sure you don't have that qualification. So I am here to solemnly announce to you that you have been fired. At least before the end of today's work, I hope the Board will receive your resignation. Otherwise, I'll make the news of your racism public and force you to leave Fox. Do you understand what I mean? β
The sudden words of the richest man Wang immediately made Wharton's brain a little insufficient. He looked at the shareholders, and after seeing the smiles on their faces, he immediately felt regret. However, there is no regret medicine to take in this world. So he could only stalk his neck and say stiffly.
"Fire me, you're not a member of the company's board of directors, you're not qualified to do that!"
"No, of course he's qualified to do that." Murdoch's representative in the company, the largest shareholder of Fox in the original 21st century, spoke out at this time. "Just now, we have completed the equity transfer agreement with Mr. Wang. He now owns 51 percent of Fox, which means he has absolute control over the entire 21st century Fox. So, as he said, Wharton. You've been fired. Even if it's for your own good, you should submit your resignation honestly and don't embarrass us all! Don't bother these people around you! β
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly froze.
