Chapter 426: Dying (Part II)
After Guo Siyue left the First Municipal Hospital, she first went to the headquarters building of Galaxy Group to meet with Watson, CEO of the group.
Later, in Watson's office, he took a few of Watson's red landlines and made a phone call, summoning the heads of the member companies of the Galaxy Group to the magic capital for a meeting.
With the popularity of mobile phones, CEOs still like to put a few landlines on their desks. The main thing is that it is easy to make phone calls. At the same time, it has a certain degree of confidentiality.
Watson was forty-nine years old, slightly thin and tall. There is fortitude in the delicate face. A calm, restrained middle-aged handsome guy. At this time, his face was full of tiredness, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Alice, thank you for your hard work." ”
As the CEO of Galaxy Group, he has been under a lot of pressure lately.
Guo Siyue sighed lightly: "I should do it." ”
In the evening, the bosses of more than 20 companies related to Galaxy Group, such as Huzhi Media, Ronghe Group, Haiyi Group, Jincheng Real Estate, Yintian Group, Haotian Pictures, Jinghai Real Estate, etc., gathered in the large conference room on the 20th floor of the headquarters building of Galaxy Group.
Ren Zhi, Ren Pai, Cheng Herong, Xi Wenbin, An Xiaoqian, Wu Mian, Hu Suming, Zhu Fen and others sat around the oval conference table. Juniors such as Wu Jie, Hua Shan, Ren Chao and others all sat in the back row to listen to the meeting.
Everyone was looking at Guo Siyue. The current situation of the Galaxy Group is "the autumn of this sincere crisis". However, Ren He, the leader of the Galaxy Group, is still in the hospital and is unable to do high-intensity mental work.
And Guo Siyue, the second-in-command of the group, recently came forward to stabilize the situation, and everyone hoped that she could lead the group out of the predicament.
Seeing the attentive gazes, Guo Siyue's heart was even more tired.
In 1995, the Bank of Bahrain lost $1 billion due to the operations of its subordinate clerk Risson, and the century-old bank collapsed.
When Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in 2008, what was their loss at the time? $3.9 billion in the second quarter.
Galaxy Group is now losing $31 billion in cash, or about $4.5 billion. The situation is critical.
Guo Siyue sat in the main seat, looked around with a pair of bright eyes, and slowly spoke, speaking in a heavy tone, "The group's current liquidity is almost dry, and at the same time, it is facing fierce competition from the Phoenix Group in all directions.
As a result, the Group has decided to scale back its business and sell a number of non-core assets as soon as possible in order to tide over the current difficulties.
It is expected that the time frame for this major business adjustment will be two years. It plans to abandon its business and assets in Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, and South Asia. Some domestic sunset industries and non-key businesses will also be sold. To ensure that the group's capital chain is not broken, and to reduce debt as much as possible.
In view of the current situation, the group has a stake ranging from 10% to 20% in each company and is willing to make a bid to buy it back. You can talk to me after the meeting. The group will give a fair buyback price. However, I ask for cash. ”
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became extremely heavy.
An emotional boss stood up and asked in a choked voice, "Mr. Guo, do you really want to come this far?"
The organizational structure of the Galaxy Group is similar to that of the National Posture Committee. It is divided into two main categories. One is a directly subordinate enterprise, and the other is an enterprise that holds part of the equity. For example, Haiyi Group, Ronghe Group, etc. belong to the second type.
Guo Siyue's approach is to "survive with a broken arm" and "lose weight", and at the same time this is to push away the member companies of the Galaxy Group. Life and death are responsible for each other.
In a word: be scattered as birds and beasts!
Guo Siyue pursed her lips and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I have no choice!" The Galaxy Group is too busy to take care of itself? Where can she still care about the life and death of its member companies? Her primary purpose now is to withdraw funds and reduce debts.
I don't know who is crying. The atmosphere was not just heavy, but somewhat bleak.
The meeting didn't last long, and it ended after two hours. Guo Siyue stood in front of the window of the conference room, drinking the warm water handed by the assistant, and her heart was indescribable. The vast, deep night shrouded the land, as well as the rushing Huangpu River.
The headquarters of Galaxy Group is located in Pudong, the magic capital, and the landmark headquarters building is towering into the sky, which is well-known at home and abroad.
At this time, An Xiaoqian, who was left alone, stood beside her. She and Guo Siyue are old acquaintances and old grudges.
Guo Siyue has a thousand words in her heart, but she can't say them. Chanted softly: "Seeing him rise up Zhu Lou, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse!"
...
...
The lake is sparkling. Layers of water ripple in the wind. The sun is like jumping on the water. The view is stunning on a weekend afternoon.
This is Chongming Island, which is a good place for citizens of the magic capital to come for leisure and tourism.
Jing Gao and the 27 Phoenix Group executives who attended CEIBS, plus the group executives he invited, wandered around casually in the "Suiyu Villa" or found a place to chat.
There are: Guan Yujia, Cao Danqing, Qiao Shuang, Dong Youwei, Cheng Yu, Liu Sumei, Yu Jiashi, Jiang Zi, Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, Guo Lingyu, Wei Chenjun, Liu Zhen, Guo Pojun, An Zhiwen, Xie Wangzhen, Shen Jinyuan, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, Han Wenguang, Zuo Hao, Fu Ye, Yin Qian, Li Wei and others.
Jing Gao previously helped Wang Hanjun register at China Europe Business School. She will be Gu Xixi, who is already working in the Phoenix Group today, Zhang Li called. Both of them worked in Jiang Zi's secretarial team, and their new colleague Chen Qingshuang was also invited.
"Suiyu Villa" is a farmhouse-style manor on the island, covering an area of more than ten acres, hidden in the lake and mountains. There are green farmed chickens and ducks, organic vegetables, etc. Patches of woods, creeks and ponds. There is the joy of farming, but also the convenience and pleasure of modernity.
This lodge is only open to friends, and it has been operated with a lot of thought. It is very popular with the professional elite in the city.
After lunch, Jing Gao drank tea with Guan Yujia, Qiao Shuang, Yu Jiashi, An Zhiwen, Li Wei, Wu Jingshu, and Li Yifeng in the Chinese-style corridor on the small hillside of the villa.
As far as the eye can see, there are lush woods and lakes in the distance. It's really a good place for vacation and leisure, which is refreshing!
Yu Jiashi leaned against the railing, and the breeze blew on his shirt, making him feel high-spirited and happy, so he said: "Brother Jing, I heard that the old boy of Ren He is shrinking in the first courtyard of the city, and he has no face to see people. Moreover, the Galaxy Group is shrinking sharply and selling off. Haha! I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place?"
Jing Gao was very relaxed, sitting casually in the wooden chair, smiling and waving his hand, "I won't talk about this today." ”
Yu Jiashi smiled and nodded. In fact, today is the "celebration banquet" of the Phoenix Group. It's just that Brother Jing didn't say it explicitly. Now, the situation is very different from before! not only is there no pressure, but there is also the pursuit.
Guan Yujia got up to add tea to Jing Gao, a beautiful young woman with a beautiful figure and unprovoked amorous style. Said gently: "Brother Jing, what should Pei Qingrong do over there?" I asked the Integrity and Compliance Department to check on him. ”
Jing Gao stretched out his hand to support the teapot, indicating that it was okay, and said, "You ask Jiang Zi to send someone to check." Go through the legal process. Mobile phones, film and television give me a headache! Lao An, how is Professor Zhao's health?"
An Zhiwen smiled bitterly: "Hey, don't mention this." Before, my dad pretended to be sick and hid in the hospital for Liao Rong's business. As a result, I stayed in the hospital for a week, but I really found out the problem. Now go to the hospital regularly for check-ups. ”
said, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, my dad saw me show his little video on March 8th a few days ago, praising you as a copycat version of Zhuge Wuhou." Ren is always a strengthened version of Wang Lang!"
Jing Gao smiled: "Haha, Professor Zhao's allusion is inappropriate." Zhuge Liang's mouth cannon skills are far behind. I'm going to the city government tomorrow and I'm going back to the capital the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will go to see Professor Zhao. ”
Professor Zhao was heartbroken by Ren He. Wang Lang is quite a lot, just taking refuge in Cao Wei.
Li Yifeng presided over the construction of the "Shanhaijing Semiconductor Research Institute" in Qingpu, the magic capital, during this time, he was still chubby, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, speaking of which, Pei Qingrong can enter the company, I am the personnel manager at that time, and I am also responsible." ”
Jing Gao smiled, "Lao Li, you have nothing to do with this." Really hold it accountable, I, Liu Sumei, and Xiao Qiao are all responsible. So, I won't talk about that today. Everyone look at the beautiful scenery and enjoy their leisure time!"
Guan Yujia, Qiao Shuang, Yu Jiashi, An Zhiwen, Li Wei, Wu Jingshu, and Li Yifeng all laughed.
Each drink tea or enjoy the scenery, and the surrounding scenery comes into view.
Bring hundreds of couples to travel, reminiscing about the past eventful years.
Then, let's ask again, in today's domain, whose family is the world?
Phoenix!
...
...
At about nine o'clock in the morning on Monday, Ren Zhi and Hua Shan went to the city government building to do some errands. The two of them checked in at the doorman and walked into the hall on the first floor. I met Idaka with a beautiful female assistant coming up.
Hua Shan pulled Ren Zhi, who was slightly stunned, don't be impulsive. This is really a narrow road. In all fairness.
Ren Zhi is twenty-four years old and wears a suit. The appearance of white and pure has always been very gentle and beautiful. At this time, the circles under my eyes are a little dark, and I am obviously tired. There is no longer the bleakness of the idle clouds and wild cranes in the past, but in fact, the temperament of extreme pride in the heart.
Ren Zhi's eyes and Jing Gao intersected, and they had mixed feelings for a while. He remembered the first time he met Idaka at home, and Idaka humbly asked his father for advice.
remembered that when he sent Jing Gao out, Yun lightly warned this person not to provoke his sister-in-law, and hung it at the door contemptuously.
remembered that when Xie Shihuang coordinated the armistice merger of Didi and Uber in the magic capital, when Jing Gao turned his face and stretched out his anger to point at him.
I remembered the toughness when I was in the Xiangshan Club in November last year, when Jing Gao and his father completely lost harmony.
remembered that in the small video that was filmed, Jing Gao looked like he was talking to his father when he said heart-piercing words, and finally his father's scolding blood pressure rose, his cerebral blood vessels ruptured, and he fell to the ground.
Scenes flashed through my mind.
How could Ren Zhi not hate in his heart? How could he be willing, but at this time, his heart was full of an unspeakable sense of powerlessness! What could he do?
Ren Zhi looked at the well that came over: he was tall, and he and Hua Shan gave way to the side.
Hua Shan smiled. On March 8, she also scolded Jing Gao to her face. Looking back now, I really had to break out in a cold sweat on my back.
Jing Gao's gaze swept over Ren Zhi's face, paused for two seconds, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Maybe it's disdain, maybe it's sarcasm. Who knows? Without saying a word, he left with Cheng Yu at the door of the hall.
Outside the city hall building, spring is shining. A new era is slowly unfolding.
