Chapter 653: Hu Wenhai's Weakness
What is the fate of Dazhong Bank, Hu Wenhai no longer wants to pay attention. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This kind of goods who joined the Three People's Party in '49 and defected from the United States to the Soviet Union in '91 really can't raise the spirit of personally dealing with them.
However, there will always be problems, just like Mondays at work are always coming.
The new question before him is, well......
"President Norton, it's been a long time. ”
Norton, the former president of Grumman, stood in front of Hu Wenhai with an embarrassed face. Who said that foreigners have a bad face, Norton now has a feeling of wanting to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Grumman is doing this too badly.
When Hu Wenhai needed help the most, Grumman didn't say that he stabbed him in the back, but at least he watched from the sidelines.
It's just that others look at it coldly, but with Hu Wenhai's relationship with Grumman, and even the previous orders made a lot of money with Grumman, how can they have a position to do this to Mr. Hu?
Not to mention ungrateful, this is similar to "please eat cakes from Mr. Hu".
Norton naturally knew the cause and effect of the matter, and secretly scolded Grumman's group of fools who saw the money, but he had to wipe their shit.
"Mr. Hu, hey, I'm ashamed!"
Surprisingly, from Norton's mouth, what came out of Norton's mouth turned out to be quite unauthentic Chinese!
"Mr. Norton, please take a seat, I know it's not your fault. ”
Also, Norton has long since ceased to hold a position at Grumman, just an individual shareholder with a small stake and a seat on the board of directors.
If the current management insists on abandoning Hu Wenhai, he actually does not have enough influence to interfere.
But the problem is that when he made decisions, he dared to praise and step on low, but he didn't even have the courage to show up later, which made Hu Wenhai look down on him.
It's no wonder that Grumman was later bought, and the management was a group of cowards, what could they do big.
"Grumman's incident, I don't want to defend anything, it's really sorry for Mr. Hu. ”
President Norton has been retiring well in recent years, and he is in his sixties and almost seventy, but he seems to be in his fifties, and there are not many traces of time on his face.
"Needless to say, in business, I can understand why Grumman did this. If it were me, I wouldn't have done it. What if I get dazed and take out the Viagra patent and mortgage it to Grumman?"
Hu Wenhai smiled and said indifferently: "Grumman's management may not have such thoughts. ”
Norton's old face flushed, obviously being told the truth by Hu Wenhai. The troubles Hu Wenhai faced at that time were not a secret at all. The investment of more than 10 billion US dollars is about to be lost, and who knows if it will be like a red-eyed gambler who has lost and pressed all the chips he can catch.
The collateral that ST Group can take out is almost that. For China's domestic assets, the procedures for mortgage loans in US dollars are too complicated, and obviously do not meet the time requirements of the futures market.
The overseas collateral assets that can be taken out in a short period of time are basically the IGCT technology of the Xiangjiang Wafer Factory, and there is also the blue pill that Hu Wenhai started with.
After the banks completely rejected IGCT loans, Hu Wenhai wanted to raise funds and stabilize his investment of more than 10 billion US dollars, and the only way to do this was the patent of Viagra.
At that time, a Wall Street consortium personally came forward to say that after learning about the small actions of the Gulf Coalition Command, Grummen also thought that Xinke might not be able to escape this time.
In the mall, of course, no one will talk about any feelings. At this time, if you don't fall into the ground, then even Hu Wenhai will despise Grumman's management.
It's just that who would have thought that at the critical moment, an unexpected player would be killed?
This is indeed not to blame Wall Street and energy conglomerates, let alone the small transparency of China in 1990. When the Chinese government, which had already gained a little weight in 1997, warned Soros about those financial crocodiles, didn't the other party also inexplicably turn a blind eye?
Hu Wenhai can see it, just like Li Jing, who is 100% empty-handed, he will inevitably be ignored by Wall Street, and this is probably my turtle's personality......
With the large and medium-sized banks handing over $50 billion in short oil futures to the People's Bank of China, the whole market is now watching to see how Wall Street will react.
The people who are backed by the strength of the country are already invincible at this time.
Even if Wall Street speculates oil prices to the sky, because the Chinese use their own funds, it is impossible to force the other party to close their positions. If you go up three or five dollars on top of $43, you'll only be farting on Wall Street. If you have the ability to raise it by another thirty or fifty dollars, and maintain it at this price until Iraq is defeated, then there may be hope to force the people to admit defeat.
But by doing so, the Soviet Union may be relieved......
At least in 1990, China was not worth it for the Americans.
So when the People's Bank of China unexpectedly stood up in support of Hu Wenhai, Wall Street and many bulls who bet against each other were a little unbearable.
The People's Bank of China is not an ordinary commercial bank, it is China's central bank!
While Wall Street was still figuring out a way, it was Grumman who couldn't sit still first.
There is no way, now Grumman's most profitable business - the patent of the blue pill is still in the hands of Mr. Hu.
At that time, the basis of the cooperation between the two sides, the trade of Tomcat fighters had long ended, and Hu Wenhai continued to grant the patent to Grumman because of the old friendship between the two sides, which was quite pleasant.
What other means does Grumman have today that can counterbalance Xinke? No, Hu Wenhai does not need to have any worries about taking out Grumman's patent authorization.
That's why Grumman is cooperating with Wall Street, who wants to hold the patent for the little blue pill in their hands so much. The main profit point of such a large group is not its own patent, how can there be any sense of security!
Hu Wenhai pierced Grumman's mind, Norton smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Mr. Hu is angry in his heart, I understand this. However, after all, Grumman and Xinke still have many projects to work on, and I also ask Mr. Hu to remember the old feelings. As long as Xinke doesn't withdraw the patent authorization of Viagra, I happen to have a business to talk about here. ”
Hey, if you don't say that Norton can sit in the position of president, it is indeed a good person. Not only did he learn Chinese to the level of barely being able to communicate in a short period of time, but he also found Hu Wenhai's temper.
Knowing that Grumman made a mistake this time, it was useless to quibble. Many times, the betrayal of a friend is more hateful than the framing of an enemy.
But Norton can be regarded as a "general manager of Hu" in Grumman, and he has studied Hu Wenhai for a long time.
If you are human, you have weaknesses.
Some people love money, some people love power, and some people love beautiful women. However, Hu Wenhai has no shortage of these, but he also has a weakness that cannot be refused.
However, this "fifteenth year of Wanli" is in the hands of Grummen.
"Grumman has a group of aircraft design and manufacturing experts, and we changed some of the company's labor systems this year, so they were faced with ...... Well...... In your words, it's probably ...... Let's be laid off. Many of these people have participated in the design of the Super Tomcat 21 program, and it would be a pity to retire or terminate the contract. ”
"It just so happens that there is an airline in the UK that is interested in this group of designers and scientists and is currently in talks with us. If the negotiations go well, this part of the human resources will be loaned to the company for five to ten years. Well, Mr. Hu, the major shareholder of this company, should also be familiar with Rolls-Royce. ”
"Oh?"
Ahem, Hu Wenhai's tense face is really undisguised now.
Norton's meaning can be said to be very naked, in order to keep the authorization of the little blue pill, it seems that even the things at the bottom of the box have to be taken out.
Norton understands very well that Hu Wenhai's weakness is none other than the pride of Grumman, the F-14 Tomcat fighter.
Hu Wenhai's appreciation and affection for the Tomcat fighter can be seen from his support for China's domestic imitation of the Panda fighter.
Just look at the 40,000-ton steel wire prestressed winding hydraulic press under construction in Shengjing Heavy Machinery Factory, and the 80,000-ton hydraulic press being developed in the next step, you can feel his madness.
It's like buying an ice cream machine and even building a dairy farm just to get a bite of ice cream. This dedication and the momentum of killing gods are too scary.
Super Tomcat 21, although the Panda project team has a similar plan, but just copying the F-14A has exhausted their energy, and there is no way to improve the Panda for the time being.
Besides, if you want to make improvements to the panda in the future, how can you be more familiar with the original author's Grumman?
Although this compensation is absolutely inadequate, it is enough to make Hu Wenhai's heart moved.
Norton Sr. knows that the key to doing business is that the value of a commodity is not based on the cost of its production, but on its position in the hearts of customers.
Raising this chip shows Grumman's intentions.
To circumvent the military's control and send people to Britain and settle the CIA and the Bureau of Naval Investigation, these engineers and scientists would have to be willing to cooperate with the Chinese side, which is not an easy task.
But all this work is nothing compared to the authorization of the little blue pill.
Hu Wenhai pondered for a moment, he was really reluctant to refuse Norton's conditions, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Grumman is indeed very sincere this time. ”
Hu Wenhai knocked on the table and pondered for a moment: "But I will never forgive those who betrayed. Mr. Norton, I wonder if you are still interested in returning to the helm of Grumman? Grumman's current management must pay the price. Also, the acquisition of McDonnell Douglas has to be done immediately, otherwise McDonnell Douglas is likely to come back to life. ”
