Super Rich: Obtained Shares of 100 Billion Group at the Beginning

This statement has also been endorsed by many people.

Yes, they agreed to the plan to acquire Linko's shares, but it was you, Lehman Monroe, who first proposed and strongly supported it.

If they also need to be held accountable, then what about you, the mastermind?

Lyman Monroe, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, almost fainted upon hearing this.

Is this the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong? Shouldn't the most important thing to do now be to quickly suppress Tenglong?

He tried to change the subject, but the shareholders who had finally found an opportunity were not about to give up.

The two sides argued from morning until afternoon without reaching a conclusion.

The argument didn't stop until it got dark and everyone was exhausted.

After the meeting ended, Lyman Monroe stopped Bertzaca, who also wanted to leave, and called him into his office.

"Chairman, it's very late. Is there something you need to tell me at this hour?"

Bertzaka asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Yes, there is something I need to take care of."

Lyman Monroe nodded, gesturing for Bert Zaka to sit down.

"You've seen the situation today. Those shareholders are ready to completely destroy me. Even with your and Hawkins' support, I can't keep my position as chairman."

"So, I think since I can't become the chairman, I might as well support you to become the chairman while I'm still in this position."

“We are on the same side, so this will also prevent Qualcomm from falling into the hands of those guys who only care about their own interests.”

"What do you think?"

Lyman Monroe looked at Bert Zaka and said, although he tried his best to control his tone, he could not suppress the sorrowful emotion.

He has been at the helm of Qualcomm for nearly twenty years. Although he did not found Qualcomm, he is the one who made it great.

For him, Qualcomm is more important than his own son.

But now, he is surrounded by a group of people who want to oust him from his position as chairman. This shows his determination; anyone else would have started cursing long ago.

He stood there, secretly grieving, while Bertzaka, standing beside him, was completely stunned by the unexpected surprise.

What did he hear? Lyman Monroe actually said he'd give him the chairman's position?!

My goodness, the overwhelming surprise left him standing there, speechless for a long time.

"Bertzaka?!"

It wasn't until Lyman Monroe called him again that he snapped out of his daze.

"Chairman, you absolutely mustn't! You are the only one in Qualcomm who deserves to sit in the chairman's seat. How could I possibly be worthy of it?"

"They might not even get to sit down properly before they're kicked out!"

Upon realizing what was happening, Bert Zaka immediately refused, his words filled with obsequious flattery towards Lehman Monroe.

It's true that he really wanted to be the chairman, but he wasn't stupid. He wouldn't have agreed if Lyman Monroe had only asked once.

Putting aside the possibility of revealing his betrayal of Qualcomm, at the very least, it would leave a bad impression on Lyman Monroe.

Even if he becomes chairman, there's no guarantee that once the troubles at LinkTech Group subside, Lyman Monroe will reclaim the chairmanship.

He had complete faith in Lyman Monroe's methods.

If Lyman Monroe wants to, he will not be able to hold onto his position unless something unexpected happens.

Therefore, in order to firmly secure that supreme throne, he had to learn from the Chinese tradition of declining and relinquishing power three times.

This would demonstrate his unwavering loyalty to Chairman Lehman Monroe, and only then would Lehman Monroe confidently entrust him with the chairmanship.

"Chairman, I know you're heartbroken over those shareholders, but in this situation, only you are there to suppress all the demons and monsters!"

"Please, please don't ever say anything like that about handing over the chairmanship to me again!"

Bertzaca recounted his story with great emotion, bringing tears to Lyman Monroe's eyes.

He looked at Bertzaka with the appreciative gaze of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Indeed, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity; the old Chinese saying is still very true.

He muttered a sentence to himself, then spoke again:

“Bertzaka, I have witnessed your loyalty, but now is not the time to back down.”

He stood up and went to the window, his voice low and tinged with a barely perceptible sadness:

"As you can see from the current situation, there is almost no chance that I will continue to stay in the position of chairman."

"If we keep going, the chairman's position might fall into the hands of those people."

“I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen, so you have become the most suitable candidate.”

"Chairman..."

Bertzaca opened his mouth slightly, as if to say something more, but was interrupted by Lyman Monroe:

"No need to say anything more, let's decide on this. When we have the meeting tomorrow, we'll do exactly as I say!"

A sharp tone interrupted Bert Zaka's voice, and where Lyman Monroe couldn't see, a cold smile curled at the corner of Bert Zaka's mouth.

The appointed time arrived as the next day.

Just like yesterday, Lyman Monroe and the shareholders started arguing as soon as they met, and the meeting room was once again filled with tension.

The argument lasted for a full half hour, and just as the two sides were about to come to blows, Hawkins suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone.

What he meant was to appoint Bertzaka as chairman.

Initially, when many shareholders heard this, their first reaction was to refuse; they had finally found an excuse to oust Lehman Monroe.

How could we possibly hand over such an important position as chairman to someone from Lehman Monroe's faction? What difference would it make if the chairman were still Lehman Monroe?

Many shareholders launched another attack, but this time, before Lyman Monroe could even speak, Hawkins stepped forward again.

By directly citing Bertzaka's sale of Linko shares to Merck, they silenced many shareholders.

"Gentlemen, think about it carefully. If it weren't for Mr. Bertzaka, how much would we have lost this time? In terms of merit, the chairman's position should belong to him!"

“Who else is qualified to take the position besides him, especially since he is Qualcomm’s fourth largest shareholder?”

Hawkins stood up, his voice firm and resolute.

Upon hearing this, the shareholders in the audience opened their mouths but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Indeed, Bert Zaka played a crucial role in the Lianke Group incident. Although he offended Merck Group as a result, he also protected most of their interests.

"I agree to let Bert Zaka become Qualcomm's chairman. If any of you refuse, then let's continue arguing here!"

Seizing the opportunity, Lyman Monroe also stepped forward.

"Okay, I agree too!"

After being threatened like this, some minority shareholders stood up.

"I agree."

"I agree."

Many shareholders raised their hands, and apart from a very few abstaining, it was not a big deal.

With numerous shareholders raising their hands in succession, the position of Qualcomm's chairman has now fallen into the hands of Bert Zaka.
