    It’s clear that the three brothers collectively own 51% of the shares, aligning perfectly with the required ownership ratio. As long as they remain united, the Sun Group remains firmly under the control of the Sun family.


    However, with Orrin, the eldest brother, on his deathbed, the second and third brothers are increasingly eager to im his share.


    After noticing that today’s strategy to request additional shares has failed, Hank is now preparing to escte pressure on his elder brother through the board of directors tomorrow.


    Despite Orrin’s hesitation regarding the share issue, Hank is determined to force him into relinquishing the chairman position by tomorrow!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As the saying goes, a kingdom cannot be without a ruler for even a day, and a dragon must have a leader at all times.


    Given the vast industrial structure of the Sun Group, having a chairman is indispensable.


    Although Orrin is still alive, he is gravely ill. If treated, he willck the energy to manage the group, and if untreated, his time is limited.


    This presents an opportune moment to seize control.


    Regardless of the circumstances, he must first acquire the chairman’s position and power.


    Next, he can meticulously strategize about his shareholdings.


    If all else fails, he might resort to drastic measures, such as eliminating all of his elder brother’s wives and daughters after his death.


    This would naturally shift their family shares into the hands of himself and his younger brother.


    However, he hesitates to take such extreme actions, as Eastcliff is home to powerful figures who are well aware of the dynamics among the major families. Even if executed wlessly, he could not escape their scrutiny.


    If the elite in Eastcliff discover that he orchestrated the demise of his elder brother’s family, it would have catastrophic repercussions for the Sun family.


    Every social circle has its rules, and in the realm of Eastcliff’s elite, anyone who resorts to murder will find themselves ostracized.


    In that scenario, the Sun family’s assets, connections, status, and reputation would suffer significantly.


    Thus, he leans towards a more cunning approach.


    When Orrin mentioned the board of directors, he realized Hank intended to use the board to exert pressure on him.


    With the new year approaching, many publicly tradedpanies are preparing annual summaries, releasing financial reports, and drawing national attention, including the Sun Group.


    As Orrin’s health declines, participating in board meetings while under scrutiny would severely undermine public confidence in the Sun Group, leading to a plummet in stock prices and greater losses for shareholders.


    Consequently, the board would inevitably pressure him to vacate the chairmanship.


    Previously, the three Sun family members held 51% of the shares, giving them absolute authority in board decisions, with other shareholderscking the power to challenge them.


    However, the situation has changed.


    The two younger brothers are now at odds with him. Orrin possesses 25.5% of the shares, while the remaining 25.5% is divided between the two younger siblings.


    If they unite with other board members against him, his 25.5% shareholdings would be insufficient to counter their majority.


    As long as theirbined shares surpass 51%, they could legally impeach him and force him to relinquish the chairmanship.


    With this in mind, Orrin grimly stated, “Hank, I understand your ambitions, but rest assured, as long as I, Orrin, draw breath, I will attend the board meeting tomorrow! No matter your schemes, I will not let you seed!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
