Click, click, click—"

Dressed in a crisp and close-fitting black suit, Arthur walked into the press conference on time, smiled and waved to the media reporters and walked up to the podium, and then smiled in different directions, trying to meet the reporters' photography requirements.

The long-awaited reporters from all walks of life picked up the "long guns and short cannons", and the "click" suddenly rang out.

"Hello everyone, we meet again, this time we invite you to come over, mainly for one thing to tell you, I, Arthur Boleyn, will be launching the acquisition of the (gas) power station in Bristol in the next period of time... ”

Beep –

In the bright conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, and the chairman of the Bristol Coast (Gas) Power Station, who was sitting on the first seat, waved his hand to turn off the TV that was recovering the image, although his face was very serious, but he looked around without the slightest extra expression, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it, your opinion, why did the good negotiations suddenly break down?"

From the initial request for 50 percent of the shares, to the current hostile takeover, what is the problem in the middle? This morning, my phone was almost bursting, and all the shareholders called to inquire about the situation, and of course, they were more concerned about the price offered by Mr. Arthur Boleyn!"

The people sitting at the conference table looked down and didn't know what they were thinking, some looked at each other, and the main directors of the power plants who were upset in the negotiations were some of them were weak and regretful.

When the management learned for the first time that the original investor had suddenly turned into a barbarian standing outside the door, they knew that their little caution had completely gone bankrupt, and now not only could not stop the other party's acquisition, but also completely jeopardized their jobs.

"Chairman, these questions don't seem to matter anymore, what we have to do is how to meet the other party's new negotiation conditions, sometimes, the barbarians at the door are not necessarily the enemy!"

One of the female executives at the power plant suddenly broke the silence and spoke meaningfully.

As a result, everyone present focused on her, and under the gaze of various eyes, the executive behaved very calmly, and did not shy away from looking at the CEO who had been preventing the power plant from being acquired.

"What do you mean?" asked the CEO of the power plant, with a gloomy face, a frown, and a gloomy look in his eyes glaring at the female executive.

"Hehe, I don't mean much, for the shareholders of the company, the "hostile taker" who puts the return on capital in the first place may be a friend. While this threatens the interests of incumbent incumbents as executives, it is good for everyone if reforms can be made to maximize the company's potential. The female executive didn't seem to be afraid of the CEO's targeting and questioning at all, with a smile on her face, looking at the CEO and saying indifferently.

"Chairman, the "barbarian" certainly has its ruthless side, but the emergence of the barbarian is essentially a sign of the maturity of the capital market. At the same time, it is also an external driving force that reminds the target company of the sniping to seek innovation and change.

Whether it is to gradually lose competitiveness in the process of boiling frogs in warm water, or to seek mutation in the shock brought by external shocks, this will be the "alarm bell" hanging over the head of our enterprise in the future, and it is also a "death knell" for "not doing well" and following the old model. ”

Wow –

In the face of this administrative vice president who suddenly broke out for some reason today, everyone in the conference room was a little shocked, and her words undoubtedly pointed the finger at the current management, and everyone looked different and was in an uproar.

"Quiet!"

The chairman who sat in the first seat said with a serious expression, so that everyone who was talking quietly stopped talking, and the chairman looked at the CEO with a more and more gloomy face and the executive vice president who always maintained an indifferent smile with meaningful eyes.

Supposedly, as the chairman, he should be the most opposed to the takeover of the power plant, after all, it will definitely threaten his position, but he is an official, representing the official 50% of the shares, and the mascot is elected, he basically does nothing, especially when there is a strong CEO.

Therefore, for him, the chairman, whether he sells the 50% of the shares this time or is wholly owned, it is not important, but he is more concerned about how much the power plant can be sold, after all, he also has a part of the shares in his hands.

"Corinna, you support the acquisition of the power plant, right?"

"Yes, chairman, I have participated in the previous negotiations, I am very optimistic about the reform and future planning of the power plant brought up by the acquirer, and the third phase of the project has been shelved because of the shortage of funds, which has greatly affected our development momentum, I think that the new investor will bring new changes to our power plant. Corinna, the executive vice president of the power plant, did not hesitate to take a stand.

"Hehe, I'm afraid not necessarily!" At this time, the CEO, who had been gloomy, said with a sneer: "Everyone here, do you really know this Arthur Boleyn?"

It is true that he has dominated a lot of media pages lately, and what is the youngest billionaire, and the acquisition of clubs, and scandals, is an absolute hot topic, but, as far as I know, he is a billionaire with a lot of money, which means that he simply cannot come up with three or four billion pounds to complete the full acquisition of the power plant.

This is undoubtedly a leveraged buyout full of greed, deception, selfishness. Standard barbarians, Wall Street-style players, they never think about the life and death of the company, do not consider the interests of shareholders and employees, do not consider the future development of the company, only focus on their own interests, and only pursue rapid value-added.

What they do best is not play by the rules of the game because of greed, cheat because of greed, and even compromise because of greed, I can't think of a 21-year-old person with no management experience and no contact with the energy industry who can lead Bristol's coastal (gas) power station to glory!"

I have to say that the CEO's words were very sharp, and what he said also made many people in the conference room nod their heads solemnly, of course, more people chose to be silent.

"Corinna, I know that you and the head of the negotiation team of the other side have met privately, I don't know, what promises the other side gave you, but what I want to tell you is that things will never be as perfect as you imagined, they will transfer all the debts to the power plant, like leeches, attached to the power plant, constantly sucking blood to strengthen themselves, and the management and employees of the power plant will become the biggest victims!"

"Hehe, Mr. Max, this is a bit alarmist, isn't it?" Corinna didn't want to deny or explain at all, whether she had a private meeting with Angela, but looked at CEO Max with a-for-tat sneer.

"I don't think anyone cares about the source of funds for the acquirer, whether it is a bank loan or a margin financing, is it important to the shareholders?

In the face of such a large-scale wholly-owned acquisition, can the shareholders refuse? Who can stop the shareholders from selling their shares? Everyone, you should know very well how eager the government, our largest shareholder, is to sell the 50 percent of the shares.

Unless someone here can buy it now for two hundred million pounds, or a phone call can get a third party to pay a higher price than Mr. Arthur Boleyn ... Who can do it?!"

Corinna can be said to be completely rolled up her sleeves and fought in person, this is also her strongest in a long time, which makes everyone in the conference room stunned At the same time, she also has a new understanding of this woman, which is also a ruthless character!

"That's right, I met and talked to the team leader of the other party, Ms. Angela, and the other party also wanted to win my support, of course, you can rest assured, as the administrative vice president of the power plant, I will never throw away my professional ethics and do anything to sell the interests of the power plant.

The promise given to me by the other party is that there will be no large-scale layoffs, and most of the current management will continue to be retained, and the probation period is one year!

As for the transfer of debts, hehe, may I ask Mr. Max, over the years, you have taken the lead in borrowing a lot of money from the bank, right?"

"You—" CEO Max blushed and glared angrily.

"Okay, don't make any noise!" The chairman stood up suddenly, shouted, looked around sharply for a week, and after groaning, glanced at the indignant CEO Max, and then turned his gaze to Corinna without stopping.

"Corinna, it's up to you to form a new negotiation team and negotiate with the other party... ”

Hearing the chairman's words, everyone in the conference room was silent, and Max looked even more depressed, looking at the chairman, opening his mouth, and leaning back on the chair without saying anything.

The chairman just glanced at Max indifferently and continued to say to Corinna: "I want you to get the most out of the employees and shareholders of Bristol's Coastal (Gas) Power Station!"

"Rest assured, chairman, I am still the executive vice president of the power plant, and I will be worthy of my work ethic!" Corinna said with a solemn and serious face.

"That's good, I believe you ... ”
