And then slowly plan the part of his shares.
If it doesn’t work, then use the most extreme trick to kill the whole family after the elder brother’s death.
In this way, the shares of their family of three naturally will fall into the hands of himself and his third brother.
It’s just that he dare not use such an extreme method, because after all, Eastcliff hides the dragon and the tiger. Many bigwigs know the situation of the major families well. If he does it secretly, even if he does it perfectly, he can’t escape the eyes of these people.
At that time, the people in the top society of Eastcliff will know that they have murdered the eldest brother’s family.
That way, the impact on Gu’s family would be too great.
After all, every circle has its own rules. In the circle of Eastcliff giants, whoever dares to kill each other will become the object of rejection by everyone.
At that time, Gu’s assets, connections, status, and prestige will shrink significantly.
Therefore, he still tends to outsmart.
When Philip heard him mention the board of directors, he knew that he wanted to use the board to put pressure on himself.
Now that the new year is approaching, many listed companies have begun to make annual summaries, release annual financial reports, and announce to the people of the whole country that a group company such as the Gu Group is naturally attracting attention.
And now he’s dying. If he participates in the board of directors and be seen as such by the people of the whole country, the people’s confidence in the Gu Group will be greatly reduced. By then, the stocks will definitely fall and shareholders will face greater losses.
Therefore, when the time comes, the board of directors will definitely put pressure on him, forcing him to give up the position of chairmanship.
Before that, the three Gu family owned 51% of the shares, and they had absolute say in the board of directors. Other shareholders did not have the ability to force them to do things.
But things are different now.
The two younger brothers are at odds with him. He has only 25.5% of the shares, and the other 25.5% is in the hands of the two younger brothers.
If the two of them don’t agree with him, and instead unite with other board members to exclude him, then their 25.5% of the shares are no match for them.
As long as their combined shares exceed 51%, they can reasonably and legally impeach him and force him to cede the chairmanship.
Thinking of this, he said with a sullen expression: “Yanzheng, I know what your wishful thinking is, but you can rest assured, as long as I Philip still has a breath, I will be there for the board of directors tomorrow! No matter what your plan is. I won’t let you succeed!”
