Ling Tian, however, was not angry at all, nor did he make any exaggerated gestures. He looked up at Kang Tengda.
"You don't get to decide that!"
"Haha, this is my company, and I'm the general manager. How could I not have a say!"
Just then, a staff member rushed in and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Kang, Chairman Chen is here, and so are the members of the board. They're asking you to attend an emergency board meeting!"
Kang Tengda stood up and clapped his hands.
"Gentlemen, as you can see, I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot continue to accompany you.
Don't waste your time. What's already decided cannot be changed. Haha!"
Kang Tengda turned and left, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
Wang Kun looked indignant.
"Is there really no way to salvage this?"
Ling Tian smiled and stood up, patting Wang Kun's shoulder.
"Come on, let's go somewhere."
"Where are we going?"
"To a meeting!"
Wang Kun and Lu Kai looked confused. Following Ling Tian, they asked for directions and arrived directly at the conference room of Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals.
In the conference room, more than twenty people were seated on both sides of the large conference table. On one side were the three shareholders of Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals and several executives.
Opposite them sat seven or eight people, all very capable and exuding confidence.
When Ling Tian and the other two entered the conference room, Kang Tengda's eyes widened in alarm.
"Hey, where are the security guards? Who are these three people? Get them out!"
Before the security guards could react, the person leading the group on the opposite side spoke.
"Mr. Ling Tian is with us. He has a stake in this meeting!"
The speaker was Gu Jiafu, the CEO of Tianxi Group. As soon as he spoke, Old Chen, the chairman of Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals, quickly chimed in.
"This is a guest invited by Chairman Gu. What's your attitude, Xiao Kang!"
"Ah?" Kang Tengda's mouth hung open, his head buzzing.
He had just been mocking Ling Tian and the others, and now they were honored guests of their boss. This was simply unbelievable.
Old Chen continued, "Let me tell you all something. This morning, we signed a share transfer agreement with Tianxi Group.
The shares held by the three of us have now been fully transferred to Tianxi Group.
This means that Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals is now an enterprise under Tianxi Group..."
Kang Tengda felt his head spin. He, the general manager, had no idea about such a major event as the company's share transfer.
Even more absurd was that the company had always performed well, and there had been no news of any intention to transfer ownership.
Old Chen continued, "As senior executives of the company, please rest assured that when we signed the transfer agreement, we discussed it. Tianxi Group will not make major adjustments to the company's management structure.
If you work hard and diligently, Tianxi Group will definitely provide you with better treatment..."
After Old Chen finished speaking, the other two shareholders also made some perfunctory remarks, and the people in the conference room applauded.
Only Kang Tengda stared blankly, completely petrified.
After the three original shareholders finished speaking, Old Chen stood up.
"Alright, all good things must come to an end. We'll be leaving now. May we meet again in the future!
For the subsequent meeting, please let Chairman Gu continue to preside!"
The three shareholders left with great joy.
They had every reason to be happy. Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals was valued at approximately 12 billion yuan, mainly due to its snow lotus cultivation bases and patents for artificial snow lotus cultivation.
These three shareholders had not expected that just yesterday, Tianxi Group had suddenly approached them, willing to acquire all their shares for 20 billion yuan in cash.
The three of them agreed to sign the agreement and sell their shares almost without hesitation.
After all, Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals' annual net profit was less than 1 billion yuan. 20 billion yuan was enough for them to be comfortable for twenty years.
The group happily cashed out and left. As the conference room door closed, all eyes turned to Gu Jiafu.
Gu Jiafu glanced at everyone, exuding an imposing aura.
"Everyone, I announce that this morning, our Tianxi Group, together with Shennong Agricultural Science, has acquired Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals.
Tianxi Group holds a 60% stake, and Shennong Agricultural Science holds 40%!
For now, I will serve as the Chairman of Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals. Additionally, Ling Tian, the Chairman of Shennong Agricultural Science, will serve as an independent director of this company!"
"What?"
Kang Tengda was completely stunned. He had never imagined that the person he had just mocked would become his boss in the blink of an eye!
At this moment, Gu Jiafu pointed at Ling Tian.
"Ling Tian, please say a few words."
Ling Tian stood up and looked at everyone with a smile. Everyone present was astonished.
On one hand, they marveled at Ling Tian's youth. On the other hand, many of them knew Ling Tian's background. Ling Tian had visited twice already, and many people were waiting to see them make fools of themselves.
Instead, they had turned the tables and become the bosses. This was simply too dramatic.
"What President Chen said earlier was very good. We will not make major personnel changes to the management team after taking over Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals.
However, there will be personnel changes!
I will now announce the dismissal of Kang Tengda from his position as General Manager of Snow Lotus Pharmaceuticals!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Tengda immediately became agitated. He jumped up from his chair and pointed at Ling Tian's nose.
"No, you can't treat me like this!
I will sue, I will go to court. You have no right to dismiss me."
Kang Tengda was naturally very emotional. Once he lost his position as general manager, the agreement he had reached with the Japanese would not be implemented.
Not only would he not receive the remaining ten million, but he might even have to return the deposit he had already received!
He had originally thought that even if the company changed owners, the management team would not be affected so quickly.
After signing the contract and finalizing things tonight, he would receive his benefits and then resign, leaving a mess for others to clean up.
However, Ling Tian showed no mercy and struck first!
At this moment, Gu Jiafu slammed the table.
"This decision was discussed and unanimously agreed upon by the board. Mr. Ling Tian has the right to do this!
Kang Tengda, you have been dismissed!
We hope you will cooperate and complete the handover process. Otherwise, you will face imprisonment!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Tengda exploded on the spot.
"You want me to cooperate with the handover? Hmph!
You dismissed me as general manager without reason, and you didn't even inform me when the company was sold!
What do you take me for, Kang Tengda? You still want me to cooperate? Am I a fool?"
"Kang Tengda, I'll give you a chance. Cooperate well, and you can get an extra month's salary and leave happily to find a new job.
But if you remain stubborn, you might end up in jail!" Ling Tian said mockingly.
