Chapter 0252 Meeting Two
United Steel Association of Europe.
The content of the meeting was simple, but it was chaotic, and the issues discussed covered a wide range of faces.
After a brief speech, Li Zitao handed over the issue of negotiation to the team behind him, and he was only responsible for ruling on the results.
The stinking and long legal clauses, as well as the obligations to be fulfilled, the treaties to be followed, etc., made his patience gradually disappear.
When he finally left the castle, Li Zitao felt a sense of disgust for the castle, and those damn old guys were so bored.
"Charlie, you have to learn to get used to it, they have a lot of influence in front of both labor and management, and many of them have knighthoods. ”
Retirement home for veteran cadres?
seems to be powerless, but if you really don't take him seriously, you will have to block you when you turn back, and maybe you will capsize in the gutter.
14 p.m., Albert headquarters.
Li Zitao met the representatives of the Iron and Steel Association again, but their positions changed to the wall.
Sitting at the conference table, well-dressed gentlemen are the ones who really decide whether this merger and acquisition can go smoothly.
"Here is the report about Bethlehem for the last three months, of course, we have hidden some of the most critical parts, but I believe you can see its value.
FSC's merger with Bethlehem is coming to an end, but the new company will become the second-largest steel company and the largest copper mining company in the United States.
The results of its mineral exploration in South America are very impressive, which you will get before the official start of the merger. ”
FSC has made extremely astonishing discoveries in Peru and Chile in South America.
At the beginning, FSC paid a lot of public relations fees in order to get the survey permit, and now it seems that everything is worth it.
"I believe that before you came, you had a deep understanding of Albert, as the largest steel company in Luxembourg and a 5% share of the global steel market.
I'll have to admit that the new Bethlehem has a lot of potential, but it's a small company compared to Albert, and I wonder, how much do you want to get?"
Rogoff, Executive Director of Albert, is responsible for the specific operation and development direction of Albert. Jean whispered in his ear.
Looking at the stubborn and old-fashioned face, he knew that he had met a representative of the real power faction.
It's just that his belittling of Bethlehem made Li Zitao a little displeased, "A small company, even the American Steel Company doesn't dare to say that, did he take the wrong medicine?"
"It's 43.5 percent, and you can't measure its value by market capitalization. Li Zitao endured the unhappiness in his heart and said.
If the value of a company is measured by market capitalization, there is no valuable company in the United States at all.
There are a lot of stocks in the stock market that have fallen to 10 cents, including American Telephone and Telegraph Company, Bethlehem Steel, and American Steel Corporation.
But in the stock market, you can't see a stock in circulation, let alone buy it.
"This is our final pricing for Bethlehem. "I'm handing over a report.
"Ridiculous price. Seeing that the share price of Bethlehem after the merger was $380 million, Rogoff contemptuously put the statement on the table.
Bethlehem Steel, the nation's largest copper mining company, the American market, these are the things they are interested in.
Especially in the North American market, the world is currently under the cold winter, only RB, Spain, North America, China and other places are still developing.
Global steel demand has been falling again and again, especially in the European market, where a large number of factories have been shut down and industrial development has come to a standstill.
North American automobiles, airplanes, cruise ships, warships, including a large number of light industries, are still proceeding according to the original plan.
If we can break into the North American market, the declining earnings will rebound.
However, the shareholders' meeting, headed by Rogerf, also has their concerns.
Li Zitao took 30 percent of the shares from the Grand Duke family, and now has absolute control over FSC on the condition that it merge into Bethlehem.
In such a situation, if Bethlehem were to merge with Albed, it was likely that the reins would fall into his hands.
"Besides," Roger looked at Jean with a vague gaze, and quickly looked away.
Oh, seeing the other party's performance, Li Zitao was directly laughed angrily, "It's ridiculous, Lao Tzu doesn't enjoy the flowers, and he came here to make you happy, why are you a clown?"
"Yes, it does. Li Zitao nodded and smiled, and stretched out his hand to Benyi.
Ben handed Li Zitao another statement in his purse, which said Albert, with a valuation of 1.12 billion.
The sneering gaze swept over the report, Li Zitao's fingers loosened, the report fell down like a fallen leaf, and a disdainful tone came: "It's just a piece of shit, the person who filled in this number, is his head stuffed with shit?"
"You. Rogoff slammed the table and got up to point at him, his fingers trembling.
"Hey, you guys need to calm down. "Let me rub my head with a little headache.
"This is an insult to me and to all the shareholders here. Roger roared indignantly.
"So what are you doing, sarcastically mocking a marquis with your pitying gaze, who gave you such a right, Queen?"
Li Zitao stood up with a gloomy face, his tall figure, strong muscles, and young face all had an obvious sense of oppression.
"I, I'm just talking about the price, it's a deal. Roger quibbled with a dodgy gaze.
"Yes, it's a business, I'm just taking a stand. Li Zitao stepped on the report with his foot and sat down sarcastically.
"Put away your unbelievable arrogance, this is a win-win cooperation for you and me, and for everyone here, not me begging for your handouts. ”
Grabbing the gold chain under the neckline, he took out his pocket watch and opened it to look at it, Li Zitao turned to look at Jean, and his gloomy face immediately cleared: "I'm going to have afternoon tea, do you want to go together?"
He just left with Jean, leaving behind a group of shareholders who were looking at them with pitiful looks.
A bunch of little lambs who don't know what is going on, do they think they are facing a beggar who wags their tail at them and begs for mercy, waiting for alms?
Walking out of the building, Li Zitao's mood was still a little irritable, these idiots who clinged to the identity of the great powers, do they still think that now is the era when they wield long guns and short sticks and can plunder everywhere?
The arrogant attitude, the disdain that came out of his bones, and the greedy look like a vulture made him want to smash their heads with the butt of his gun.
He was covetous of Albert, but he was not without other options.
RB's steel technology and India's steel companies are equally appealing to him, and both are much easier to operate.
If it weren't for his fiancée's sake, why would he come here in person and be aggrieved with a group of bad old men, it really hurts him to be an idle egg!
