Chapter 1060Chapter 1060 Weston‘s life had been too smooth.
He was so capable that no one dared to call his bluff or go against him.
Perhaps it was this that made him so disobedient when it came to the matters of Stella.
Warren thought he would teach him one last lesson before he died.
That was, to never give up your interest because of a woman.
“According to my original plan, Chris and Xavier should get an equal share of my equity as they are my
sons. However, as you all know, Chris has a son, Weston, who also happens to be my only grandson.
His contribution to the company over the years is more than apparent , so I plan to divide his father‘s
equity into half and give it to him.”
As soon as he said that, all the directors exchanged glances and gasped.’,
They seemed to find it bizarre. Based on Weston’s contribution to the company over the years and their
inherent understanding , they would not say a word even if he gave a significant portion to Weston
and would only think that it was normal.
But now, Weston could not get even a third, but half from the half meant for Chris.
In other words, it was a quarter at best.
This was a rather large–scale downsizing for a business that directly affected his authority.
Moreover, there were many relatives in the Ford family. If all those people were included in the
calculation, Weston might get even less than a quarter.
“What? Do you have anything to say?” Warren knew that the shareholders would surely disagree.
Although the transfer of ownership had little to do with them, the impact it would bring to them was
closely linked to their interest.
After all, the person who managed the company had a direct relationship with its revenue.
If a not–so–clear–headed person were to lead the company, the annual dividend they could get would
shrink significantly.
At least until now, they were very satisfied with Weston‘s performance.
No matter how absurd the scandal he caused some time ago, at least he has made everyone in the
company get enough money to make the other companies jealous and
achieve a target unachievable by other companies in the nation.
Besides, he had already started to develop an international market. By that time, Ford Corporation would
definitely become a famous global enterprise in one fell swoop. By that time, perhaps only a few companies in the whole continent would be able to surpass them, not to
mention Ahn City.
If his power was weakened at this time, the impact might be incalculable.
“Mr. Warren , although Mr. Ford is Mr. Chris‘s son, his ability is evident. Besides, Mr. Xavier hasn‘t been
working for the past few years, and if you give him so many shares, would it be a bit...”
Everyone always addressed Weston as “Mr. Ford” and Xavier as “Mr. Xavier.” It was a clear indication of
their attitude towards the heirs.
“Indeed!”
i
Another man echoed. “No one understands the company more than Mr. Ford, and no one is more
capable than him to lead the company to worldwide recognition.”
Warren knew these people would oppose him, and he
glared at them. “I know that you approve of Weston, and I am also glad I didn‘t choose the wrong
person.
However, allowing him to make decisions for such a big company alone will still be a bit hard on him.”
He pondered for a moment and pretended to be thinking about something. “You‘re right. Xavier is indeed
a bit inexperienced, but everything has a beginning. Letting a person manage a company alone is not
good. I can let Xavier and Chris both support Weston. When three make plans together, the results will
be better than one person doing it. They would be able to see the whole picture better together.” Warren
laughed after saying that to ease the atmosphere. “Besides, I am not transferring him away, but I am only
getting some people to help him. Don‘t worry about it.” Although his words sounded nice, they understood that he meant that Weston would have the same
workload , but there would be two more people to share his achievements and glory. This would become
a thankless job.
