Oh, the irony. On Tuesday, the chairman of Gome, China’s former top electronics retailer, told a thinly attended shareholder meeting that the imminent sentencing of his predecessor, facing insider trading and bribery charges, would have “no effect on the company’s operations and management style”. That was true until the votes were tallied after the AGM, when it became apparent that the jailbird, Huang Guangyu, had used his 34 per cent holding to oust three directors nominated for re-election by Bain Capital, the company’s saviour last year.
这可真是一种讽刺。周二，曾经是manbetx3.0 最大电子产品零售商的国美(Gome)的董事长在一个人数不多的股东会议上表示，他的前任（黄光裕）面对内幕交易和贿赂控罪即将被判刑一事，将“不会对本公司的运营和管理风格产生影响”。当年度股东大会结束后清点投票时，此言不攻自破。显然，身陷囹圄的黄光裕用自己持有的34%股份，反对贝恩资本(Bain Capital)提名的三名董事重新当选。贝恩资本去年成为国美的救星。
