"What?"
"Impossible!"
"How could the old Chairman transfer his shares to an outsider for no reason?"
"No matter how muddle-headed the old Chairman is, he wouldn't do that, right?"
After hearing the lawyer's words, everyone's eyes instantly widened, and their expressions were extrely incredulous.
At this mont, Watson's expression was also very ugly.
Although he had long guessed that this board eting might have sothing to do with Connor, he never expected it to end up like this, with his father actually transferring all the shares of the company to Connor.
This was an outco that Watson could not accept at all.
It wasn't just him—almost everyone present could not accept this result.
In their eyes, although there were so differences between Watson and Hudson, no matter what, Hudson would not give his business to an outsider for no reason.
"You're talking nonsense. How could the old Chairman give his shares to this person?"
A mber of a branch of the Zook family had seen Connor at Watson's birthday banquet. He knew very well the relationship between Connor and the Zook family, so he could not believe this fact at all.
Mr. Solana placed a copy of the contract on the table and said to everyone expressionlessly, "This is a copy of the contract. If you don't believe , you can take a look now. Mr. Connor and Mr. Hudson have already completed the shareholder certificate. You can also go to the industrial and comrcial bureau to check for yourself!"
When everyone heard Mr. Solana's words, they hurriedly picked up the contract and read it carefully.
"Did the old Chairman really transfer his shares? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, and it's an unconditional transfer. What is the old Chairman doing?"
"Could it be that the old Chairman was threatened?"
After confirming that there were no problems with the contract, everyone began to discuss in low voices.
Watson sat there quietly because he knew that since Connor had brought his lawyer, it ant that Hudson's shares had indeed been transferred.
But he couldn't understand why his father would do this!
"Do you still think that I'm not qualified to co here?"
Connor asked calmly.
For a mont, everyone present quieted down and looked at him expressionlessly.
Connor saw that everyone was silent, so he walked straight to the chair in front and sat down quietly.
At this mont, the Zook family mbers were at a loss when facing Connor. They all turned their heads to look at Watson.
However, Watson kept his head lowered. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Legally speaking, Mr. McDonald is now the largest shareholder of the Zook Corporation. He has the right to hold a board eting. As the majority shareholder, Mr. McDonald also has the right to change the personnel arrangents of the Zook Corporation!" Mr. Solana said expressionlessly.
When everyone heard Mr. Solana's words, they finally realized what the real purpose of this board eting was!
Watson looked at Connor coldly and said in a low voice, "Connor, do you think that the Zook Corporation is yours just because you got 51% of the shares from my father?"
"What else would I think?" "Don't forget that we still have 49% of the shares. If we withdraw our shares collectively, you will face a large amount of equity fees," Watson said as he gritted his teeth.
"Do you think money is a problem for ?" Connor asked with a smile.
When Watson heard Connor's words, he was instantly dumbfounded. After hesitating for two seconds, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Alright, since you're so rich, I'll withdraw my shares!"
"Do it, then!" Connor lightly nodded, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the others present, asking, "And what about you people? Are you planning to withdraw your shares as well?"
"That's right. Since Mr. Zook has already chosen to withdraw his shares, I'll withdraw my shares too!"
"Yes, withdraw the shares!"
"I'll withdraw my shares too!"
Everyone present felt that once Connor controlled the entire Zook Corporation, their good days would co to an end. Therefore, they might as well take this opportunity to force Connor to abdicate. Even if they could not change the fact that Connor held 51% of the shares, they could not let Connor get the Zook Corporation so easily.
When Peyton saw that so many people were planning to withdraw their shares, his expression began to turn ugly.
After all, the entire Zook Corporation was worth more than 100 billion dollars. If all these people withdrew their shares, they would have to face a huge amount of compensation.
They still didn't know the financial situation of the Zook Corporation, but no matter what, the Zook Corporation's funds were definitely not enough to compensate these people.
Therefore, once they agreed to let these people withdraw their shares, they could only split the Zook Corporation into two.
Watson was obviously burning his bridges. Since he could not change the fact that Connor was the largest shareholder of the Zook Corporation, he could only choose to split up. This way, he could still ensure that half of the Zook Corporation was under his control.
When Watson saw that so many people wanted to withdraw their shares, he looked a little proud.
Connor, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression. He looked at everyone and said, "I can agree to withdraw your shares now, but I think you should listen to first before considering withdrawing your shares…"
"What do you want to say?" everyone hurriedly asked.
"Although I'm the largest shareholder of the Zook Corporation now, I've never wanted to change the current structure of the Zook Corporation…" Connor paused for a mont and then continued, "What I an is that if you want to continue staying in the Zook Corporation, I can guarantee that your positions will not change. Whatever you can get in the Zook Corporation before, you can get the sa in the future. You might even get more…"
After everyone understood Connor's aning, their expressions grew a little strange.
After all, the reason why these people chose to withdraw their shares was actually because they were worried that their positions would be lost. However, if Connor could agree to them and let their interests not be affected in any way, then these people were actually very willing to stay.
After all, withdrawing their shares was only a last resort for them.
Everyone began to discuss amongst themselves in low voices.
