Even when Daniel Marshall remained silent, merely sitting in quietness, an inherent aura of nobility enveloped him.
In the eagle-like eyes underneath Daniel’s short black hair, a mere glance emanated such sharpness that made people think he had been honing it for a long time.
Alexander Marshall was also watching his eldest grandson with great interest, observing the intriguing demeanor the young man exhibited.
The ball was now in their court, and the shareholders were curious about how Daniel would respond.
A hint of tension permeated the conference room.
On Daniel Marshall’s sculpted handsome face, no emotion could be read, keeping everyone in suspense about his thoughts.
Daniel still had not looked at the plan and materials distributed by the chairman’s secretary.
He did not even steal a glance at the data projected on the screen.
“Mr. Chairman, may I ask what data backs the plan? Has there been a thorough research? Do you know how long it takes to prepare a research data report?” At these words, everyone’s gaze fell upon Michael Marshall.
Michael was forced to respond directly: “Of course, there was a research done, the data is derived from it.”
Daniel fired back, “It is known to all that Yonder Group is facing bankruptcy, with its market value plummeting. What does Marshall Corporation intend to gain by spending a huge sum of money to acquire such a company on the brink of bankruptcy? Is Marshall Corporation trying to accumulate good karma?”
“Everyone here knows how Yonder Group came to be. Twenty-eight years ago, the Thompson Family, with the support of Marshall Corporation, created
Yonder Group. Because of Marshall Corporation, Yonder Group prospered.”
“And now, without the backing of Marshall Corporation, Yonder Group is on the brink of bankruptcy. I ask the shareholders present today, do you still want to finance Yonder Group? Do you want to be exploited further?”
Michael Marshall stiffened, his face turning angry as he accused Daniel, “You are becoming more and more disrespectful!”
Ignorning his father, Daniel Marshall emitted a cold and dignified aura of power. “Enough of this, let’s vote. Shareholders who are against Marshall Corporation’s acquisition of Yonder Group, please raise your hand.”
Daniel’s piercing gaze seemed to slice through everything, and he was the first to raise his hand opposing the acquisition of Yonder Group.
Instantly, all eyes were on Mr. Alexander Marshall.
Mr. Alexander Marshall’s stance would be the crux.
With tightly pressed lips and remaining silent, Mr. Alexander Marshall followed Daniel in raising his hand, casting his vote against.
Seeing the elder’s firm stance, the majority of the shareholders also indicated their stand.
Money surely doesn’t grow on trees! Who would be foolish enough to let the Thompson family take advantage of them?!
You have to be a special kind of fool to do that!
It was evident that Daniel was the one to first give up on Yonder Group, and with the elder’s support, certainly no more money would be wasted on the Thompson family.
It was clear that this was driven by Michael’s personal preference, and the shareholders were indeed dissatisfied with him.
Even without the elder’s vote, they would not have agreed to acquire Yonder Group. It is Daniel who considers the shareholders’ interests – this is a capable leader.
Matthew Marshall also voted against, completely isolating Michael in the meeting. It was tremendously embarrassing.
Michael was displeased, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes slightly drooping.
“Everyone has seen it. The proposal to purchase Yonder Group has been voted against and did not pass.”
Having delivered his words, Daniel rose from his seat and walked out of the conference room.
Daniel’s piercing gaze appeared to scorn everything in sight, and his whole being projected the kingly aura of intimidating power.
The remaining shareholders left following Daniel.
Soon, the vast conference room was left with only Alexander and Michael Marshall.
Alexander’s eyes, as piercing as a frozen lake, were focused sharply on his son.
“You’ve disappointed me greatly. I never thought you could do something so foolish. If you are not capable of leading Marshall Corporation, step down and let Daniel take over..”
