Who appoints the general manager of a company limited by shares?

The chairman of the first limited liability company and the first limited company is not directly produced by the company's articles of association, which only stipulates the way of production. Second, the absolutely necessary clauses in an effective company's articles of association must have a way to produce the chairman. In the second type of joint stock limited company, there are usually two ways for shareholders to elect directors: the first way is direct voting, that is, each share has only one director's voting right. The advantage is that the procedure is simple, which fully embodies the principle of capital majority, and is conducive to the control of the company by major shareholders. The disadvantage is that shareholders who hold more than half of the shares can control the appointment of directors, making the board of directors a controlling shareholder. The second cumulative voting system, also known as centralized voting system, means that each share has the right to vote in the election of directors. For example, four directors should be elected, and shareholders holding 30 shares have 65,438+020 voting rights. They can vote for different candidates or concentrate on one candidate. Legal basis: Article 45 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the method for selecting the chairman and vice-chairman of a limited liability company shall be stipulated in the articles of association. The chairman and vice-chairman are elected by the board of directors by more than half of all directors.
