Zhengfa University, Chen Shuhua was the first to react. She pushed up her glasses and pointed at the screen:
"Look, this is what Zhao Chen mentioned in class before, the critical moment for Independent Shareholder and public shareholding. He can't vote himself."
"Ah? Why?" Li Jing still doesn't fully understand the subtleties of the rules.
"Because I want to avoid suspicion." Shen Zhiyi answered subconsciously, and in his mind he pictured Zhao Chen talking eloquently on the podium of the lecture theater.
He said at the time that in matters involving his own major interests, Major Shareholder and Voting Rights would be temporarily "frozen" and would need to be decided by other shareholders who had no interest.
She heard it at the time and thought it was an interesting rule, like an avoidance system in legal proceedings, but she didn't think about it deeply.
At this moment, when the premiere screen cut through the real-time data stream of shareholder voting, Shen Zhiyi looked at the beating percentages on the screen, and the veil of theory in his heart was suddenly lifted.
She suddenly understood it - understood it completely and at first sight.
I understand why he said it is "critical" for Su Wantang's 5% shares to remain independent;
Understand that it's not just a numbers game or a legal formality;
Understand that this 5% is no longer a simple shareholding ratio at this moment, but a real "key" that can influence the compliance process and affect the smooth implementation of the company's major actions.
These perspectives, interpretations and admirations scattered everywhere, gathered at the Shareholders' Meeting scene, condensed into a calm and settled atmosphere.
When the host finally knocked the gavel and announced that all the agenda of Shareholders' Meeting was successfully concluded, the applause was less exciting and more cautious than before.
Next, the participating shareholders and guests began to leave one after another, and the media area on the side of the conference hall instantly entered another state of high tension.
The long guns and short cannons have been set up long ago, and reporters are waiting with bated breath for the first public media appearance of today's real protagonist-Acting Chairman Zhao Chen.
A few minutes later, accompanied by a group of people, Zhao Chen steadily walked into the media interview area.
He changed out of the formal suit he wore during the meeting, wearing only a white shirt and dark trousers. He had a tall and straight figure. Although his face had a hint of tiredness after continuous high-intensity work, his eyes were clear and calm.
His appearance immediately triggered a wave of shutter sounds.
After a brief introduction by the assistant, the interview officially began.
As usual, the most influential media outlets are usually the first to get the opportunity to ask questions.
<Finance Weekly> Reporter Li Wei raised his hand first, took the microphone and announced his home address:
"Hello Chairman Zhao, I am <Finance Weekly> reporter Li Wei. We noticed that you are one of the youngest Chairman in the country.
At this stage of life, what is the biggest challenge or pressure you feel personally in command of a huge commercial aircraft carrier like Henglong? How do you digest and transform this pressure?"
The question is pertinent and opens up a discussion about personal leadership.
Zhao Chen pondered slightly and responded frankly to the camera:
"Thanks <Finance Weekly> for the question. The pressure is real.
It does not stem from the position itself, but from the livelihoods of thousands of families, the trust of tens of thousands of shareholders, and the history and future represented by the two words 'Henglong' that this position carries.
This weight makes me dare not slack off at all."
He changed the subject and injected firm strength into his tone.
"But for me, this pressure is more like a high-intensity sobering drug and an endogenous source of motivation.
It forces me and my team to evaluate every decision more carefully, and it also drives us to work harder in the fog to find the light that allows the company to survive healthily and develop in the long term.
So, if you ask me how to deal with it, my answer is:
Transform this heavy trust into concrete actions every day to make Henglong better."
The second person who got the opportunity to ask questions was Wang Rui, a senior reporter from <Business Observer>. His question first cut to the core of the strategy:
"Chairman Zhao is good,<Business Observer>Wang Rui.
The strategy of 'shrinking the balance sheet and reducing leverage' that you advocated has triggered completely different evaluations in the market.
Praisers call it a brave man's foresight, while critics believe it is a conservative retreat that will cause Henglong to lose its scale advantage and right to speak in the industry.
What do you personally think of this huge divide in evaluation? Which side do you think time will be on?"
The question was sharp, and the atmosphere at the scene was condensed. After listening to Zhao Chen, there was no anger on his face, but a calm and thoughtful smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you to reporter Wang Rui for such a sharp observation.
First of all, any attention and comments, whether good or bad, show that everyone cares about Henglong, and I am grateful for it."
He was polite first, followed by military action, and then clearly stated his point of view.
"As for the strategic differences, I think this reflects the market's thinking about different development philosophies.
Our choice is based on a simple belief:
