Is this not manufacturing a word issue? If someone is the majority share holder, they won't be turned away from entering the premise (unless they weren't recognized, of course).
If you only own .00000001% of a company, as could easily be the case for someone who owns a few shares, then of course they don't have the same capacity as someone who owns 51% of the company's shares. It's hard to enter .00000001% of a company's premise, especially since everyone who owns more shares of the company than that can easily stop you, as can any group of share holders in general. But it's not hard at all to enter if you own half-plus-1% of the shares, or more shares than any of the holders as a group who would oppose you.
Now for a more realistic example, take this same process, but for determining who can and can't stay on the board. The more shares someone has, the more their vote counts. That 50+1% share holder basically runs the show.
Of course the founder usually keeps that 50%+1 but I extended this to demonstrate there is a clear point where whether you own or don't own becomes a moot point. There is exactly that difference no matter how many/few shares you own. If it is less than 50%+1 then of course you can be stopped by the majority. That doesn't mean you don't own a portion of the company. It means you are outnumbered by share holders who may not agree with your decisions.
