Chapter 15: Eliminate (1)
After some inquiries, Shi Tu knew that Alice was now at Board of Directors Meeting, which was postponed because of Shi Tu.
The 92nd floor was entirely dedicated to the Board of Directors Meeting, so it wasn't hard to find the room for the meeting.
The Board of Directors Meeting was the group's top board since Shi Tu is the absolute owner of all shares so there's no shares holder board.
Shi Tu pushed to the door of the meeting room and deliberately entered with some noises.
Inside the room, besides Alice, there were 16 other people, each one heading a certain section.
A lot of black lines appeared on the faces of the directors because they didn't recognize Shi Tu, most of them have been busy since yesterday because of some big projects, so they couldn't hear the news.
But they didn't jump to an early conclusion because the guards wouldn't let anyone in that easily, and they learned from their previous lessons not to judge a person from his appearance.
Alice soon answered their doubts as she stood and bowed respectfully
"President Shi, welcome."
President Shi? This kid? It didn't take any intelligence to find out who this kid was in front of them, because he's the only one Alice's going to call president.
"I'm sorry for the surprise, but I suddenly wanted to check the states myself due to the importance of these projects, I hope I don't disturb you."
He spoke friendly and looked more like a young man of his age and no one could link him to the mastermind of Shi's group.
"Of course, The field check would be better."
Alice pointed to Shi Tu for sitting in her place to preside over the meeting, but Shi Tu shook his head.
"There's no need, I'am here just for observation and I have no intention of interfering with the course of the meeting.
'It's impossible to ignore our president!'
Everyone wanted to say this to Shi Tu, but no one dared to do it.
This monster has turned a second-class company into a global economic powerhouse in a one-year.
Alice nodded and went back to her place, but first she started introducing everyone to Shi Tu before continuing the meeting.
Although Shi Tu didn't hear a word from what she said because he didn't want to waste his memory space with these names, he didn't think he'd have to talk to them again.
The topic was the construction of a series of football stadiums in the country where the project includes two international stadiums, four national stadiums and many small local stadiums
This project was submitted by the government, so they couldn't refuse, but they were already busy with other projects, so they were having some budget problems, which is why Shi Tu offered this. The project to Lin Chen Gu in case he does not swallow the bait because getting rid of it under a good pretext will be a help to Shi Tu
During the meeting, many solutions were put forward to gather capital, but none of them worked, They can't stop other projects or the losses will be too big.
So some directors have suggested selling some shares to gather capital or allowing the government to pump its capital into the group, so they will get unlimited support from the government, but this proposal was rejected immediately from Alice because her policy is the absolute control of Shi Tu and she will never allow anyone to share the cake
But the problems were gradually emerging as the meeting progressed.
Currently with the money available, the large stadiums can be completed only before the money runs out, so the finance director suggested starting the project first and demanding an extension of the project period for more time. To gather money and build local stadiums later, this proposal has been accepted, but another problem has emerged as the project was nationally unable to start construction without ensuring the safety of workers.
If it was one location, they could get some guards, but that was impossible right now.
Relations with the underworld are usually borrowed in construction, but The Shi Group was lacking in this area because it had no ties to any family or gang.
Usually they spend money to solve such a problem, but money is the main problem.
This was the group's first major construction project because it was based on technology, food industry and crafts, so they faced a lot of problems due to lack of experience.
Shi Tu waited long during the meeting hoping Alice would notice the anomaly, but he soon gave up because he couldn't wait too long, so he called one of the guards out of the room and whispered to him a little before he went back to his place.
A short time later, the guard came back with some papers, and his face was so pale, and his look at Shi Tu like he was looking at a monster and couldn't wait to escape.
When the guard came in, everyone stopped talking so he could hear nothing, and they were waiting for what Shi Tu would say, because he asked for these papers.
And indeed, Shi Tu stood up and looked at everyone before he settled down on Alice with some disappointment.
Shi Tu kept his friendly tone and said
""Well, We don't need to talk more about these topics. We have something else to talk about. I want you to nominate some people to me for the positions of Finance Director, Marketing Director, Production Director and Research Director. Are there any opinions?? "
"president, have you made a mistake? These positions you just mentioned are already occupied. "
He asked one of the managers who doubted what he had just heard.
Shi Tu usually don't waste words, so he didn't care what he heard and called the guards.
" Take them to the Finance Department to receive a month's advance pay and they are not allowed to enter this building again and contact the team of lawyers in order to sign the non disclosure agreemen." Shi Tu pointed out to the people who mentioned their positions before.
No one understood what was going on, but they understood that these people were done.
Being fired from a company like this simply means the end of your life.
The guards grabbed the targets and started dragging them out under intense resistance.
"Why? I've been loyal to this company for ten years since your father's generation! If you're going to get rid of me, tell me why. "Answer me."
"That's right."
"Lawyer!! I will call the lawyer, you cannot expel us like this, This against the contract and against the rights of employees...... "
Shi Tu didn't care to their screams until they left the room without bothering to answer them or even looking to them.
He's the president here. He has no obligation to do this.
The hall was silent and everyone started sweating because of the tension, fearing they would be the next victim.
Alice wasn't any different, but the reason she was nervous was different.
She could see the disappointment in Shi Tu's eyes, so she was frustrated that she didn't live up to his expectations.
It was clear that these were corrupt officials because that was the only explanation for Shi Tu's actions, but she didn't discover them for a whole year while Shi Tu did it during one meeting.
In fact, it can't be blamed.
Shi Tu distributed the papers brought by the guards to the rest of the directors, where there were enough copies while the original was placed in front of Alice.
"Look closely at these papers, they prove the existence of some bribes, unfair transactions, leaking information to foreign parties, dealings with other companies to raise prices in a fictitious manner and misappropriation of funds has been done. all these documents was in the offices and computers of those involved"
Alice read the papers well and realized that what Shi Tu was saying was true, especially on the subject of misappropriation of funds.
Since all calculations are made by Shi Tu, they agreed with the companies that Shi Group deals with to raise budgets and prices in a fictitious way and embezzle them from the other side.
These transactions were probably kept as leverage so they wouldn't be sold by other companies after the deal ended.
Alice finally realized that they have so many problems in this project because there are some traitors who leak the company's situation.
The rest of the board was even more dire as some were reluctant to participate in this, as a percentage of the shares were promised, which would give them a comfortable pension after retirement.
They were happy because they hesitated and didn't agree directly.
They realized that this young man was really the mastermind because, like the rest of them, they thought it was Alice, and that all this praise was just an amplification of Shi Tu, As long as they succeed in deceiving Alice, everything was fine.
But there was something that puzzled them all.
Are these things that people will keep in their offices in the company? If they were, it's impossible for them to do that, and the people who were fired aren't that stupid, or they're not going to get to their current position.
Usually these things are found in safe places like safes or personal computers at home so why keep them in their offices?
Shi Tu has not stopped internal eliminating so as long as there are benefits, he will absorb it to the end.
"With these documents we can sue different companies as the evidence is sufficient may not go bankrupt, but we will be able to cause a lot of damage, especially to their reputation, and at the same time we will be able to balance our profits. So don't miss this opportunity now... Are there any candidates for vacant positions? It doesn't matter, even if he's a regular employee, as long as he satisfies my eyes."
"Wait, president, I think there's no need to overdo this."
The one who spoke was the director of security, and he seemed very opposed to this.
