Chapter 246 Who is Detective Cat tmd?

Anna walked over one by one, stretched out her hand to shake hands with every magazine shareholder.

"Well, anyway, I still want to thank your family for their contribution to the development of the oil painting magazine."

Some experts showed an embarrassed expression on their faces.

But shopping malls are like battlefields.

The reaction of more shareholders at this time cannot be called a gentleman.

Their faces were cold, and they even spoke sarcastically, and the words they said were very unpleasant.

"It's useless to flatter me. I will not change my decision to support the chairman."

"The little girl is ignorant, Miss Elena, don't blame me for speaking poorly." , if your board seat still belongs to your aunt, you will definitely make smarter decisions than young people like you who don’t know how to adapt."

""

After listening to a few words of ridicule from those people, secretary Elliot's face turned blue with anger, but Anna still didn't hear it.

No matter how dazzling the sneers on the faces of shareholders are.

She greeted everyone very politely and praised each other's academic achievements one by one.

Even the attorney in the corner, Anna asked him to convey her greetings to Mr. Signac for her.

"It's a little too late to start a relationship now. At this age, the little girl can go to school for a few more years and gain a lot of social experience. Being locked up in an ivory tower all day long is not good for you. Benefits."

The fat old man Al-Khelaifi simply turned his head away.

He crossed his arms and completely ignored Anna's extended hand.

At this point in time, I still want to play the emotional card.

Are you saying that she is innocent?

Or are you saying that she is stupid?

Looking for trouble

“Idiots, these Americans are just uneducated. "

Sir Brown looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth twitching, and he cursed secretly in his heart.

Many of these old guys who sit in the office doing research all day long are not as good as a little girl in terms of emotional intelligence.

After the initial shock.

Jazz has now figured out why Anna insists on having such a hot face but a cold butt.

This is not for these people to see, nor is it an attempt to change the results of shareholder voting with just a few greetings.

Miss Irina’s self-indulgent look is putting on a show for all the oil painting readers to see

“Except for other things, she is really smart. "She has the grace of a female politician."

In terms of running a media, public image is really important.

It is really disgraceful for a bunch of old men to make things difficult for a beautiful and polite little girl.

Brown’s program sent meeting minutes to every reader of Oil Painting Magazine. In addition to arranging a clerk, there was also an audio and video recording of the entire process. It had only two purposes.

Tie all the shareholders to their warships.

And separate the Irina family from the magazine, and even separate the young girl Anna from the contributions made by the entire Irina family in the past.

The vote on whether to approve Kruger Bank’s investment is just one item in the meeting diary.

What else is on the agenda to remove Ms. Irina from the board of directors on the grounds of dereliction of duty, making expressions that harmed the public image of the magazine in an online video interview, and not being qualified for management positions? A series of proposals such as seats are waiting.

Sir Brown has prepared a lot of things to prove in the public eye that the current Irina family is no longer suitable to rule this magazine.

And a young girl like Anna is not worthy of being equated with the contributions of her elders.

That’s it.

The main theme of the plot was that everyone united to resist the power of the Elena family and fight for the independence of the magazine.

The scene in front of them was watched by the public.

It must be more like a lot of old men working together to bully a little girl who I feel sorry for.

It’s too ugly

Sir Brown dug a hole for Anna.

As a result, she immediately began to show her weak and helpless side in the public eye to gain sympathy.

Find loopholes.

Counterattack quickly.

This is not a weak little girl.

She is obviously a very adaptable strong woman

"Ahem, Ms. Elena, please go back to your seat. Personally, I am very Thank you for your recognition of my academic achievements. As the chairman of the magazine, I have the obligation to lead this glorious media to the right path."

Sir Brown can only say a little. After thinking about the wording, "As the shareholder of Al-Khelaifi just said, this is not a personal grudge. We just want to make oil paintings better."

"Making art magazines more commercial , Speculation is better."

The girl turned her head and looked at the camera in the conference room.

"I prefer to call it making the magazine more youthful and in line with modern trends. And, let me say it again, now is not the time to discuss this matter."

The chairman impatiently interrupted Anna's speech, "What is important now is to vote whether to agree to introduce Kruger Brothers Bank as a major shareholder. Director Elena, you have the right to vote against. At the same time, we also have the right to suspend The Irina family continues to rule by one word."

"If it is really a one-word rule, where will such a takeover vote appear? Under the new equity structure, only Kruger Bank and Chairman Brown, the total equity you represent exceeds 60% of the total shares. On the contrary, that is the real statement."

Anna turned her head and faced herself.Dear former shareholders.

"Gentlemen, many of you were invited by my elders to join the Oil Painting Magazine. You have outstanding academic achievements and are my personal seniors and teachers."

"My elders trust me." You, and I respect you.”

“At this moment, the 136-year history and destiny of the Oil Painting Magazine are in your hands. I don’t want to say that the ancestors of the Irina family are coming from heaven. Looking at the empty words here. As a respected scholar, I believe that the predecessors know better than me what the true soul of this magazine is. Do we really want to abandon our past years for temporary financial gain? Do you insist?"

Anna placed her hands on her knees and bowed deeply to the shareholders next to the table.

"I beg you elders, please help me."

"Stop selling pity and moral kidnapping here," Al-Khelaifi pouted.

Anna shook her head, "If you really don't want to continue to hold part of the equity in the oil painting magazine, I am putting two of my ranches in Australia and North America up for sale. In addition, everything I own can be liquidated in the short term. assets. You can raise approximately 120 million to 130 million euros in cash flow within two months. You can consider selling your shares to me."

"I know this and Gram. The total amount of the acquisition proposed by Ruger Bank still has a funding gap of tens of millions of euros, but this is already more than a hundred times higher than the price you paid for the shares from my aunt.”

When the elders of the Elena family sold more than half of the magazine's shares, they considered the possibility of being taken over by outsiders.

Under the same quotation,

Anna holds the right of first refusal on the shares.

But they could not have imagined that decades later, with the continuous expansion of Oil Painting Magazine, its valuation had soared from a magazine worth one million Austrian crowns to hundreds of millions of euros.

Miss Elena really can’t afford so much money.

She may be one of the richest landowners in Austria, and in terms of pure amount, she is richer than the Kruger family.

But financial markets and individual behavior are different.

Bankers and landlords are also different.

Mr. Krueger controls the oldest private bank in Europe and also has various private equity funds in his hands. He can easily use the large cash flow of more than billions of euros to forcibly acquire the companies he wants.

Even among the richest people on the Forbes list, only a few can spend hundreds of millions of euros.

At the same time.

This happened too suddenly.

Even with the dilution of various inheritance taxes, the total assets of the Irina family passed to Anna should definitely be more than 170 million euros.

Maybe more than 500 million euros.

But if you want to sell real estate in the short term, even if it is a large amountDiscounting is also difficult and involves a series of issues such as tax calculation and cross-border fund transfers.

There is only so much money Anna can raise.

"The Bible says that if there were ten righteous people in the land, the city of Sodom would not have been destroyed. Today, as long as any two or three seniors are willing to uphold the faith in their hearts and stand behind me . Then the belief that the Oil Painting Magazine was born to let every beautiful work of art speak for itself and let every beautiful soul have a voice will not be extinguished."

"I, a member of the Board of Directors of the Oil Painting Magazine. , Anna Jelena voted down the proposal of Kruger Brothers Bank to acquire the magazine."

Miss Jelena can no longer see any softness in her body.

With determination in her eyes, she raised her left hand high.

As the girl’s words fell to the ground.

The conference room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, only the sound of wind coming from the window became clearer.

No one spoke.

Many people were stunned by Miss Anna’s powerful speech.

“A truly persistent hero, even if his wax wings are destined to be dissolved by the sun, will fly far away like Icarus without hesitation.”

Director Brown Long looked at Anna.

Inexplicably, the old jazz remembered reading a sentence in Nietzsche’s collection of essays in college praising the hero Icarus.

Icarus is the son of Tydalus, the great inventor in ancient Greek mythology. With a dream of flying in his heart, he flew into the sky with wings made of wax, but in the end he died because the wax was baked by the sun. Fall to death.

Sir Brown, the ambitious banker who personally led and manipulated the acquisition plan, was also moved by the persistent belief that flashed across Miss Elena's face at this moment.

What an excellent girl.

"It should be said that she is a girl raised by a noble family."

The rich second generation in the world is gone.

This kind of decisiveness and calmness in handling things is not something that ordinary upstarts can match.

Whether it was morality or money, Anna was within her own ability and gave a solution that was tempting enough.

If it were Sir Brown, he couldn't do better than the girl in front of him at this time.

From the perspective of an elder, Sir Brown simply wanted to applaud Anna for such a wonderful speech.

He envied and admired the deceased Aunt Anna from the bottom of his heart for being able to teach his girl to be so good.

Put yourself in the enemy’s shoes.

The silver-haired gentleman glanced at the shareholders who had hesitant and entangled expressions on their faces, but in the end no one actually raised their hands in response.

He shook his head and sneered.

"Even if she is really Icarus, it is just an effort that will fail in the end."

One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed and half a minute passed.

Except Anna raised her arms.

There is no second shareholder’s support.

One vote against and twelve votes in favor.

On March 19, 2023, at 9:17 am Vienna time, the proposal of Kruger Brothers Bank to acquire the Oil Painting Magazine was approved

This is the ranking of the amount in this century The top three acquisitions of a single independent magazine publication.

Everyone in the venue felt like they were writing history.

Everyone clearly understands that the Irina family’s dominance of the magazine for a century has officially ended at this moment.

This is a new era for the powerful Kruger Bank.

When the voting results came out from the mouth of Sir Brown, who presided over the meeting.

The female secretary Elliot couldn't bear to look at the expression on the lady's face, and turned her head to look at the floating curtains by the window.

Anna didn't actually show much emotion on her face.

Everyone knows that she must be in a lot of pain right now.

But there was no hysterical crying.

She just pursed her lips, signed her name on the shareholder resolution letter one by one with a pen, and turned into a silent ice sculpture.

This actually made many people think that this young girl was so strong that it was heartbreaking.

"Tch, what else do I think? It seems that someone's speech is not as useful as she thought. By changing everything with a few minutes of speech, what does she think of herself, Kennedy or a mustache?"

Khelaifi is rather hard-hearted.

He is also one of the few shareholders who can get the most benefits from the acquisition.

At a certain moment just now, he was really afraid that some of the soft-eared guys around him would be persuaded by Miss Anna.

Now that the overall situation is settled, the fat old man also has a huge stone in his heart.

"It seems that the surname Irina is not worth tens of millions of euros in real money, as Miss Anna imagined."

"Okay, Al-Khelaifi Shareholders, please stop it."

Khelaifi originally planned to say a few more harsh words, but was interrupted by the people around him.

"I'm sorry, Anna."

Sakurai Riki silently signed his name in the column for agreeing to the proposal.

Then he raised his head and looked directly into the girl's eyes, "The Elena family is very great, but this is really not just a matter of tens of millions of euros. Your ideas are worthy of respect, but they are no longer suitable for this It’s time.”

The choice between the Irina family and Crook Bank is not a question of valuation at all.

Essentially, you are choosing different game rules to play.

Whether you continue to stand on the shore of the sea of ​​money and be a lonely bystander, or make up your mind to become a member of the gambling table is a political choice.

Kruger Bank's investment in the stock is only the first sail raised on the mast of the Oil Painting Magazine's huge plan to sail to the golden sea.

What followed was a drastic strengthening of in-depth cooperation with leading galleries, and the establishment of the first art fund named after an oil painting magazine, a series of complex financial operations.

Its economic value will also be inflated by the "hot money" in the investment market like an inflating hot air balloon as the business transformation continues to deepen.

Everyone present will be a beneficiary of its take-off process.

The world’s ultra-high-net-worth families hold approximately US$234 trillion in art collections, an amount that is between the total GDP of France and Russia in the Wuchang.

Europe and the United States are full of art funds with a scale exceeding one billion US dollars.

There is no reason why the Oil Painting Fund cannot become the next wealth myth.

As Professor Sakurai Rikiya said.

It’s not that everyone is unwilling to give face to the Elena family, but it’s really not the difference between tens of millions of euros.

Say something more realistic and cruel.

Uncle Osborne's letter can be full of sympathy, because he is not a shareholder of Oil Painting Magazine, so he can naturally speak without back pain.

If he were in the position of these shareholders, it would be difficult to make a different choice.

At today's shareholders' meeting, so many shareholders are on the opposite side of Miss Anna. Even if there is no Kruger Brothers Bank, the next investment institution will take its place.

All Miss Elena’s efforts are like Sisyphus pushing the stone.

The ending has already been written.

"Okay."

Sir Brown picked up the tea cup with a smile, scratched the wall of the cup with the bone china tea lid, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Then let's move on to the next step. The issue was to remove Director Anna Irina from her seat on the board of directors.”

The shareholders’ meeting continued into the afternoon.

Except for Sir Brown’s initial proposal, there has never been a scene where all shareholders can reach agreement on any meeting topic.

There is no dramatic plot with any ups and downs.

Twelve shareholders agreed and one objected, with the same result on every issue.

Made a proposal,

Everyone voted by a show of hands to reject Ms. Elena’s objection.

Shareholders signed the new resolution.

It’s like a film movie with a bug in the projector, looping over and over again.

Even so, because it involved a huge acquisition plan and share changes involving hundreds of millions of euros, the meeting lasted for several hours before it came to an end.

“Gentlemen, the magazine staff have sent us a cold working lunch. However, I think we should finish this last issue and let’s go out for a dinner together. Maybe open a bottle of champagne. I know there's a good Italian restaurant nearby, and I still have a bottle there.There was a finished 2003 Romanée-Conti. "

Sir Brown turned to the last page of the meeting agenda in his hand.

"For the following topic, the initiator of this proposal is Director Anna Elena. Sorry, now it is Anna Elena Shareholder might be more relevant. ”

The chairman smiled.

Although the voting results were not much different from what was expected, today’s shareholders’ meeting still did not 100% meet Sir Brown’s expectations.

The current law does not require directors to commit fault. As long as the shareholders' meeting can reach a majority of the shares, any director on the board can be removed.

This is how Jobs was dismissed. Apple drove her away.

Sir Brown still carefully compiled a list of what he believed to be "the mistakes that young Ms. Elena made during the performance of her duties as a director."

It is not easy to use a magnifying glass to find someone's fault.

But it is probably Anna. The previous declaration still made some shareholders feel guilty.

Despite Sir Brown's wink, everyone was not very enthusiastic about the discussion.

Except for Al-Khelaifi's two comments. , the whole fault-finding process is over.

"Forget it. ”

The trend has become a reality,

Sir Brown doesn’t care too much.

Next month’s European Art Annual Meeting will be a bigger public stage. Anyway, what he said The prepared joint speech was quite "exciting".

His eyes fell back to the last page of the meeting agenda.

He saw the name "Detective Cat". Brown raised his eyebrows.

Before this shareholder meeting,

Anna had only submitted one topic, and he originally thought it would be about the reverse acquisition of equity.

The law stipulates that when a company undergoes restructuring, major mergers and acquisitions, business investments, etc., shareholders who vote against it can execute the exit clause

Require the entire board of directors to pay a reasonable price. Acquiring all the shares owned by the shareholder would give the loser of the high-level struggle a decent exit.

Sell when Jobs is expelled from Apple's board of directors. He sold all his Apple shares, leaving only a commemorative share, and used the money to found the famous Pixar Animation Studio.

The chairman thought Anna would ask for the implementation of this clause. .

He has discussed with Mr. Kruger that he is willing to make an additional investment to absorb all the shares held by Miss Irina at a price of no more than 40 million euros.

This. The money is not too much, not too much.

Miss Elena will probably sell it.

The major shareholder who is expelled from the board of directors can easily become a lamb to be slaughtered. Misappropriating property through saucy operations

Sir Brown also wanted to spend money to save trouble.

Anna is not as weak and bully as she looks.

Please, they also have their own legal team, with such a large share floating outside, they will find various excuses to report you to the financial regulatory authorities.

The actual effect may not be great, but it is really disgusting.

Unexpectedly, Anna did not mention any relevant conditions from beginning to end.

"Could it be that this little girl still has some unrealistic illusions about her ownership of this magazine?"

The problem is,

A Major shareholders who were voted out of their seats on the board of directors.

Even if she has this intention, what kind of evil can she do?

At this shareholders' meeting, the only proposal initiated by her also made Sir Brown confused about what it was. Number of ways.

“Ms. Irina requested that Oil Painting Magazine restore the recommended stars in the buyer’s guide for Ms. Fiverrid the Detective Cat, an online illustrator. She also proposed that the management of Oil Painting Magazine should remove Ms. Detective Cat from the buyer’s guide for no reason. He made a public apology on the official website of the magazine for his mistake in blocking and deleting the column."

Sir Brown read the proposal word for word in the meeting log.

The shareholders all around also showed extremely confused facial expressions.
