Chapter 551: Pretending to be dead and showing his belly
"Mr. Fernández, I know that I have caused you a great loss, and I promise to do my best to compensate you," Ivan Caruso is also a bachelor, and before Chen Geng could ask, he honestly confessed his relationship with the previous AMC workers' strike.
Of course, he didn't forget to defend himself: "But you also know that I'm actually a broker who matches others, and if it weren't for someone trying to deal with you, I would never do such a thing, right?"
As a broker who relies on relationships to eat, he knows very well that since Chen Geng dares to come to the door, it means that the other party has enough evidence in his hand to prove his relationship with the AMC workers before the strike.
Having said that, this is also the cleverness of Iván Caruso, who knows very well that when his wealth reaches the level of Fernandez Chen, is it important whether there is evidence or not, as long as he thinks that he has something to do with the workers' strike, whether there is evidence or not, it will not affect his revenge, and even if the revenge is wrong, it is wrong......
"Heh......"
said so, but when Ivan Caruso so frankly admitted that he had played a different role in the previous AMC workers' strike, and honestly said that he was willing to lose money, with a cowardly look of "I admit defeat, whether you beat or scold me", Chen Geng was a little embarrassed to attack him.
But just let him go?
That's not possible.
He looked Iván Caruso up and down, nodded, and shook his head: "How could such a childish mistake be made by a very smart person?
"Yes," said Iván Caruso, "the newspaper says that this workers' strike has caused you about $20 million in damages, and I will pay for it! But all the property in my hands adds up to about $3 million......
Speaking of this, Ivan Caruso cautiously raised his head and looked at Chen Geng: "Can you allow me to pay in installments?"
Kelly Hicks opened her mouth slightly in surprise, she didn't expect things to go in this direction anyway: according to the normal direction of the plot, shouldn't it be this Mr. Ivan Caruso arrogant and arrogant shouting, despising his own boss, and then being slapped in the face by his own boss? Why hasn't his own boss made a move, and Ivan Caruso knelt on the ground and begged for mercy without saying a word?
"Installments?"
Chen Geng didn't expect Ivan Caruso to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy so neatly, he was also slightly stunned before asking, "Why?"
Chen Geng didn't say why, but Ivan Caruso was clear about Chen Geng's question, he smiled bitterly, and said honestly: "Since you would rather bear a loss of at least 20 million US dollars than bow to the workers and the union, then presumably you will not mind losing another 10 million or 20 million to buy my life...... To be honest, I really don't think my life is worth a million or twenty million. ”
Speaking of this, Ivan Caruso couldn't help but add: "It's too simple for you to make money, you can design a model for a random car company, and you can get more than 20 million in design fees." ”
In a word, I don't want to bow my head and continue to be hard, but the reality is that I don't bow my head?
Ivan Caruso knows very well that in the United States, a country where you can do whatever you want with money, your neck is really hard as a ticket.
What a smart guy.
"Count you smart......"
Speaking of this, Chen Geng couldn't help but smack his lips, a little regretful: Now it seems that many of the tricks prepared in advance are useless.
He wished that Ivan Caruso would be tougher with him, but Ivan Caruso put on a look of being beaten and punished, and he was really a little embarrassed to kill the dog.
"Don't worry about compensation first," Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "Why should GM deal with me?"
"You don't know?" Chen Geng frowned.
"I really don't know," Ivan Caruso said with a wry smile: "When the general people come to me, they want to attack you, I only have room to agree or refuse, as for the reason, can I ask?"
Chen Geng: "......"
That's true!
There are rules in the broker circle, one of the biggest rules is not to probe the customer's secret, the customer comes to the door, saying how much money I am going to do something, the broker can measure whether to take the business according to his own energy and relationship, but absolutely not to probe the customer's secret.
It's just that despite that, Chen Geng's brows still furrowed.
Seeing Chen Geng's brows, Ivan Caruso was startled and hurriedly explained: "But although they didn't say it, I guess, it's just a guess, it should be GM's eyes on the shares of AMC in your hand." ”
"Are you saying that GM intends to acquire my MAC shares?" Chen Geng's eyes froze: "GM has never taken the initiative to express similar intentions to us. ”
"You don't know the way General Motors behaves," Ivan Caruso said with a wry smile: "Have you forgotten how General Motors acquired the car brands of Opel, Oldsmobile, Vauxhall, and Pontic...... Well, it's not a good way to suppress the performance and stock price of the acquisition target, bring them some operational difficulties, and then they will come to the door and propose a very low purchase price......"
Yes, Chen Geng reacted suddenly: suppressing acquisition targets through malicious means is simply a glorious tradition of General Motors, and it seems that it is not surprising that they use this trick on themselves.
If you think about it, you have a thriving AM General in the hands of the government and the military, and the HMMV business alone is enough for AM General to pay a lot of profits to the parent company every year, not to mention that with the several models it offers, AMC's market sales are rising rapidly, and the construction of the Mexican production base has also begun...... Not surprisingly, in a few years, AMC will become a large automobile manufacturing group with an annual production capacity of more than one million vehicles, and it is really a cost-effective business to take AMC into its hands when it is about to take off but it has not taken off, and instigating AMC's trade union to organize workers to go on strike is undoubtedly the simplest but most effective way to suppress AMC.
The only miscalculation of General Motors, or what was omitted, is that they didn't expect to be so tough, and they would rather pay out of their own pockets than bow to the striking workers.
