This shareholders' meeting of Eastern Group, apart from that mysterious major shareholder who had never shown his face, had five other participating shareholders.
Among these five, there were three veteran shareholders from Eastern Group, including Lin Dongfang as the CEO who held the highest share of 35%, and the other two from the Lin Family, Lin Tianhe with 3%, and Lin Xiao with 1%.
The other two were newer, younger shareholder representatives: CEO Lin Tong, and Vice-CEO Lin Zifeng.
Initially, according to Lin Dongfang's wishes, Lin Tong was not allowed to participate, but the mysterious major shareholder issued a specific request for Lin Tong's attendance!
With no choice, Lin Dongfang had to comply, as he was now only the second-largest shareholder and had to obey this major shareholder's command.
He had intended to curry favor and appease the major shareholder, hopeful that maybe it would secure his position as CEO.
