Link didn't question Fren's plan anymore. After all, Fren's purpose is still to be stable.

That's the best investment strategy for Furren.

Although the return on that investment will not be very high, not only will it not lose, but there will also be a stable income. That's actually pretty good, too.

The two had dinner together, and Flon sent Link back to the hotel.

Not long after Link returned to the hotel, he waited for Snapton.

Snapton learned that he had come to New York and came to report to him about his work during this time. Snapton first explained the reasons for the failure of the West Coast Chinese TV acquisition in person.

Now that the dust has settled on the takeover of that station, Snapton knows what is going on.

Link had known the reason for this, and the failure of the acquisition had nothing to do with Snapton's abilities. The fundamental reason for the Li family's repentance was that the conditions he gave were too low.

"It's over," he said. You don't have to have any psychological burden. ”

Snapton smiled and nodded, "I definitely don't have a psychological burden because of that case." I just want you to know that someone might be targeting you in the shadows. ”

Link smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder." "It seems that the Huang family has done it obviously, and even Snapton can see it.

Snapton put away his smile and said, "Okay, now let's talk about my current job." ”

She took out two documents and said, "One is the sales statistics of Blue Lagoon wine in the first quarter of this year. The second is a summary of the projects I am working on. ”

Link first picked up the sales statistics of the wine. He glanced at the total sales, shrugged his brows, and said, "Have I forgotten something? I don't think I promised you anything this year." This year's sales also seem to be even better than last year's. Seventeen million bottles in three months?"

Snapton rolled his eyes and said, "Please, when a product opens up the market." As long as the quality is guaranteed, it will only sell more and more. She paused and said. "Sales were highest in February. According to statistics, just three days before and after Valentine's Day, three million bottles were sold worldwide. Sales were much lower in January and March. However, overall, sales are still on the rise. ”

She thought for a moment, and finally came up with a figure that was neither too optimistic nor too conservative. "If there are no accidents, you should be able to sell 75 million to 80 million bottles of your wine this year. However, it is mainly low-end wines. ”

"That's a good fit for our current sales plan. He had planned to sell most of the low-to-mid wine in the early stage. Most of the high-end liquor is left to be sold slowly.

"There is one circumstance worth noting. China's mid-to-high-end market demand is increasing. Snathorn said with a smile. "Maybe it has something to do with your relatives. ”

Link smiled and said, "When did I kiss it?"

"At least you have a pretty good relationship with Chinese companies. ”

Link understood that what she was saying was that the wind power he installed came from Chinese companies. He laughed and said: "I have never even been to China, and it is impossible for them to think that I am pro-China." If this is the reason, you might as well say that they want to spend part of the dollar as soon as possible. ”

"Maybe that's possible. However, the results of our survey show that Blue Lagoon's share in China is growing much faster than other brands. This is great news for us. However, the production of low-to-mid-range wines in their country is too large, and it is difficult for our low-to-mid-range wines to enter their market. ”

"Don't be too greedy. Although China's market is large, their manufacturing industry is also the strongest in the world. Most of their products have to be exported, and it would be good if we could enter their market! In addition, in the Chinese market, we must be careful not to hurt the other side's national feelings. You must know that in any country with a single nation, nationalism is mostly more intense. They are not the same as the United States. ”

"I'll take notice. "Now that China is still developing at a rapid pace, it has become the world's largest market, and anyone who is still arrogant about this country is boring. "I have a suggestion, though. If the grapes are more productive next year, I suggest you make more mid-to-low wines. You know, high-end wines are selling well, but that's just a luxury product, and there's a limit to how much they can sell. ”

"Next year's production should not be higher. But I'll consider your suggestion carefully. ”

Link said as he put down the wine sales report and picked up another file. It's just a short three-page document that describes Springs Pharmaceuticals and how much stock she's got so far.

He took a brief look and asked, "All the information about Springs Pharmaceuticals in the documents has been confirmed?" Douglas looked into the company. But there is one case mentioned in the document, none of which Douglas has gathered intelligence. Of course, it is also possible that Douglas is in a hurry.

"We've determined. In fact, we've only recently learned about it. Snapton said seriously. "So we're raiding this lady. ”

It turned out that the failure of Springs Pharmaceutical's collagen research project actually involved an internal power struggle. The two siblings are fighting for the dominance of Springs Pharmaceutical, as well as the company's resources. As a result, my sister's husband and son died in a car accident. The younger sister suspects that the elder brother murdered her husband and son, but there is no evidence. And after losing the support of her husband, her sister also completely lost power in the company.

Link thought for a moment and said, "She's a shareholder of Springs Corporation, and if you want to take her shares, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

Snapton nodded and said, "If she wants to sell her shares outside of the stock market, she really needs to notify other shareholders first." But there is another way we can work with her. She has a 6.5% stake. We can sign an agreement with her to get her to support me. I think she would be willing if we could promise to buy her shares at a high price after we take control. ”

"That's their family's business. ”

Nominally, but in reality the family owns only 18 percent of the company. And she has lost the possibility of gaining control of the company. Whether we take the Springs company. In her heart, it would definitely make her happier to let her brother lose the company too. ”

"If you think it's possible. Then you can give it a try. As for the price, I think you'll be measured. ”

"As you saw earlier, Springs Pharmaceuticals' stock has actually been falling. We have also looked at their company's balance sheet and actual income and expenditure. We found out that they were most likely making false accounts. In an effort to secure shareholders, they borrowed $300 million from banks last year for dividends. And their profit last year was less than 100 million. And those profits may have to invest tens of millions of dollars in research. ”

"Since you've taken 16% of the shares. I guess I'm already the largest shareholder of their company!"

"But you can't control it yet. I plan to receive more than 30% of the shares before selling to their other shareholders. Until then, we have to push their stock price down. ”

Link had just looked at the methods she mentioned in her summary to force other shareholders to be willing to sell their shares.

It's nothing more than no dividends.

The reason for not paying dividends is also very open. The company's profits are insufficient!

As long as there are no dividends, and the performance of Springs is not good. The decline in the share price is a certainty. Not only did it not pay dividends, but the stock price also fell. Then Springs stock is, of course, no longer worth holding.

"Now that you have a plan, ......"

He turned his head abruptly to look at the TV.

Although the TV is very quiet, his hearing is much better than that of ordinary people. There's a news on the TV. And the protagonist of the news is still known to him.

“…… As a lawyer, I am well aware that what I am doing is not illegal. If the information I publish is that someone has falsified and framed them, they can eliminate the impact by just producing evidence, and I would like to solemnly and publicly apologize to them for this. If that information is true, then it's possible that the public has been consuming unhealthy foods. As an elected MP, I have an obligation to inform voters of the truth so that they can be more targeted in their food choices. ”

"You mean that they are a danger to public health?"

"I've consulted with several scientists, including Professor Sherat Hughes at Stanford, about that information. They all said that the experimental data was invalid. Then the safety certificate of those foods is also invalid. That also means that they may not be safe. It is necessary for the public to know the truth. That's what the law gives all Americans. ”

“……”

Snapton also looked at the news, then at Link, and said, "It seems that this Mr. Councillor is very much to your liking." "As Link's subordinate, how could she not know the hostility between Link and Meng Sandu. It's just that she doesn't know that Charlie is Link's support for the upper position. "And it seems to have a sense of justice. ”

She felt that Charlie would make such a public thing, and the three governors would not give up. That would get him in trouble. There is some impulse to watch.

She was right. The Three Governors did intend to take up the weapon of "law" against Charlie.

A California state legislator has made public some information about what appears to be the third governor. Meng Sandu's people reacted immediately. Of course, they first denied Charlie's accusations, demanded that Charlie immediately delete the relevant articles and apologize to them, and at the same time said that they reserved the right to pursue Charlie's legal responsibility.

Then they analyze whether or not that stuff is really their inside information. Soon, their technicians confirmed that the materials were scans of their confidential internal documents. Those scanned copies are the electronic copies of the materials sent to the Ministry of Agriculture when the product was applied for sale. However, after being sent to the Ministry of Agriculture, the data has not been deleted, and has been stored in an encrypted database with their own research and development.

After confirming that the secret was leaked, Meng Sandu's people began to panic a little. They don't know exactly how much information has been leaked. There are some things that they don't want outsiders to know.

They immediately began to hold accountable internally, and at the same time, the entire company focused its resources on what could be a public relations crisis.

They contacted officials and the media overnight. I hope to nip this scandal in the bud at both ends at the same time.
