After two days of playing in Taoyuan Village, the five of them were sent to work, each in charge of a country’s region.
Royal Forest soon found out Bruce had poached several of the company’s elite talents.
“Bastard!” Macon was furious and smashed everything in the office again. This time, Macon was really angry with Bruce. “Bruce, you bastard!”
Just when he was venting his anger in his office, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing the mess in the office, she said carefully, “President Macon, the board of directors just called. The board of directors will hold a meeting immediately!”
“What?” Macon looked at the secretary with bloodshot eyes like he was spitting fire. “Don’t we have been given notice before that first? Why is it so sudden this time?”
He had a bad premonition.
The secretary reported nervously, “The board of Directors said that this was an emergency meeting, so they didn’t send the notice!”
Macon waved his hand and said, “Okay, I got it. You can go now!”
He felt that the temporary board meeting this time was definitely aimed at him.
After sitting in his office for a while, he stood up, tidied his clothes, and left his office neatly. Then, he swaggered to the board meeting room.
Royal forest group had been around for more than a hundred years. At that time, there were three to five shareholders who had established Royal Forest Group. Now, they had twenty to thirty shareholders.
The one with the largest shareholder rights was the Macon Reiden family.
Macon was only the representative sent by the family. Although he had the right to speak, he was controlled by his family.
During this period of time, the business of Royal Forest group was constantly suffering setbacks. Orders from all over the world were suddenly canceled. This affected the company’s overall business.
Now, the business of the entire group had declined. The loss of large sales results had decreased, and the company’s business elites had switched to another company.
With so many big problems, the shareholders couldn’t sit still anymore.
The reason for the temporary shareholder’s meeting was to denounce Macon.
Macon didn’t handle the problem well. It was a problem with his ability.
As soon as Macon entered the meeting room, his gaze swept across the room. He discovered that all 26 shareholders of the company had arrived, including his own family members. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a sneer.
These lowlifes usually did not care about the company’s matters and only cared about the money. Now that something had happened to the company, they wanted to screw him.
When Macon entered the meeting room, all the shareholders in the meeting room looked at Macon in unison. Their expressions were dark and solemn, and one could even see anger on their faces.
Macon ignored the gazes of these people and sat directly in his seat. He asked, “Why didn’t you inform me in advance of today’s board meeting? Why? Is there an urgent matter?”
When Macon opened his mouth, someone immediately jumped out and asked, “Macon, how can you still ask that question? Something so big has happened to the company. Why didn’t you report it to the Board?”
Macon asked suspiciously, “What happened to the company?” Usually, these people couldn’t give two farts about the company. Now that something had happened, he wanted to hold him accountable. That was funny.
A shareholder threw a report in front of Macon and said angrily, “Are you playing dumb with us? Look at these sales reports. Every day, there is a downward trend. In just half a month’s time, 10% of the business orders were canceled. Moreover, it is continuously on a downward trend. This has already caused a major loss to the company. As the CEO of the company, don’t you know that In half a month, our total sales have dropped five billion.”
Macon flipped through these reports. Facing the questioning of the shareholders, he said coldly, “Business has its ups and downs. Royal Forest group has not been like this for more than a hundred years. I think these problems are all temporary. I will deal with them very soon. Before long, everything will return to normal, and the company’s development will be better.”
“You make it sound so easy!” One of the shareholders scoffed and said sarcastically, “Deal with it very quickly? How do you plan to deal with it? Are you going to deal with it like how you did with the China branch? Our branch there is gone, and we still have to pay them a huge amount of compensation?”
“That’s right. After our company withdrew from China, our direct losses reached 30 to 40 billion.”
These shareholders did not give Macon face at all. They blamed everything on him.
Hearing their accusations, Macon was filled with anger. He really wanted to scold these people who only knew how to point fingers, but in the end, he could not do it.
He took a deep breath. Regarding the withdrawal of the branch company from China, he did not feel that he had made a mistake in his decision.
He said, “It’s my poor judgment that caused such big trouble!”
He was also blaming Peter in his heart. If he had dealt with Green Fresh properly, they wouldn’t be in this mess. Peter should have listened to his advice and killed all those conspirators too. Then, one would be none the wiser.
“Poor judgment of people? Do you think you can shirk your responsibility by saying that?” One of the shareholders said, “You’re the CEO of the group and the highest decision-maker of the company. Every order you give and every person you hire is related to the company’s interests and future development.
“Now that the company’s overall performance has declined, we’ve also heard that several of the company’s business elites have directly switched to a company in an unknown country. What do you have to say about this?”
“The departure of so many elites is worse than the company monetary loss. You have to know that the development of the company depends on these talents. Without talents, how can the company develop?”
“Macon, why did they leave? You have to explain it clearly.”
“Once all of them leave, where are we going to find more talents?”
Macon said, “They were poached by Bruce.”
“Bruce?”
“Who is that?”
“Oh, I remember now. Bruce used to be the president of the China Branch. Later, when the performanceof the branch company in China fell, Macon fired him without saying a word. He even banned him from the industry.”
“Oh, I remember now too. When Bruce was in charge of the branch company in China, his performance was the best. Later, for some reason, his performance fell, and Macon fired him.”
“But hasn’t Bruce been banned? Where did he find a job now? Royal Forest is the leading brand in this industry. Who would dare to hire him? Plus, why would our talents be poached by him?”
People always wanted to work for the better. In their mind, Royal Forest was the best. So why were these people abandoning the best company to work somewhere inferior? It didn’t make sense.
“I heard that the few people who are leaving now have a good relationship with Bruce.”
“But no matter how good their relationship is, they wouldn’t joke about their own future, right?”
“Oh, right, Macon, where is Bruce working now?”
Macon said, “He’s working in a company in China.”
A shareholder heard this and frowned. He said in confusion, “A company in China? What kind of Chinese company? Shouldn’t he go to work for the companies ranked first or second in the world?”
“Have you forgotten? Bruce has been banned by Macon globally. Which company would take him? Previously, he worked in China. Maybe he could only find a Chinese company to take him.”
“That’s not right. Why would the talents from our company go to join him?”
“That’s right. That’s what we don’t understand.”
“Macon, which company did Bruce join in China?” A shareholder asked.
“Green Fresh Group!”
“Green Fresh Group? Which Company is that? Why haven’t we heard of it?”
“Yeah, we’ve never heard of that Green Fresh Group in China. Bruce is crazy to find a company with no reputation at all.”
