661.Chapter 660: Very Optimistic
I was amused by him: "Of course it won't be like that!" ”
I know this Frenchman can't understand what I mean.
I continued to guide him in words: "You see, what is the purpose of MAK's acquisition of Odd? ”
"Of course, it's to own Odd and then tear it down and sell it and make a profit." Pierre replied very quickly, with an expression on his face as if he were memorizing a textbook.
"So what do you think of the plan for MAK to spend so much money to buy Odd?"
Pierre thought for a moment, then sighed: "To be honest, although I think this plan is good, it is indeed a bit too risky. In fact, we already own 20%, and our previous loan to Li Zhengtang has been recovered, and we have already made a considerable profit. I think still. Well. It's better to be on the safe side. ”
I smiled, "Makes sense, in the boardroom, Mr. Thomson shares your views." Of course, there are several directors who think the same way, and many of them disagree with this plan. So, when it came time to decide whether or not to implement this plan, the board of directors debated it countless times. It can be seen that not all people think this plan is good, and not all people support it. ”
Pierre looked at me like a monster: "But aren't you a strong supporter of this plan?" ”
"Huh." I smiled, "We're not talking about my problems right now. So let me ask you again, why did so many people oppose this plan, but in the end the board still carried it out? ”
Pierre finally got some enlightenment: "It's the chairman's decision, because he has the most power on the board." ”
"That's right!" I smiled and continued, "It's all said that MAK wants to buy Odd. In fact, this sentence should not be said like this, the exact statement is: Chairman Guan wants to acquire Aode! In other words, the acquisition of Aode is the will of the chairman of the management board, not the will of the entire MAK board of directors! ”
I glanced at Pierre's surprised expression and continued to smile and said: "Then, think about it, Li Zhengtang and we are fighting to the death here, and both sides have smashed tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds into the stock market. It's stupid to do that. ”
Pierre's mouth was wide open, unable to utter a word.
I continued: "So, Li Zhengtang doesn't need to fight with us in France at all, he just needs to find a way to directly defeat Chairman Guan!" After the fall of the chairman, no one insisted on buying Aode anymore. ”
"But. How can Li Zhengtang do that? ”
I burst out laughing.
I looked at Pierre and suddenly said in a strange tone: "The Americans have a clever approach to this!" ”
"Americans?"
"Yes." I nodded: "What do you think, what did the United States do when it attacked Iraq?" Is it true that a large number of troops were sent to destroy the country of Iraq? Erased from the face of the earth? That's absolutely impossible! He just needs to bring Saddam Hussein down. And then replace it with a president who listens to them and does not dare to oppose the United States! And then, all the qiē is solved! I shrugged my shoulders and smiled faintly.
"I see! Li Zhengtang wants to oust Chairman Guan from power, and then replace him with someone who is not against him as the chairman! Pierre followed my instructions and immediately came up with a deduction of his own.
"You're smart!" I smiled.
"However, how did Li Zhengtang defeat Chairman Guan? What can he do if he wants to oust Chairman Guan from power? There's no way he's going to spend a lot of money to buy off the shareholders on the board, right? It's just impossible. ”
"The solution is very simple, as long as our large troops on the front line are defeated and the company suffers huge losses, the problem will be solved. Guan Bo, as the chief decision-maker of this plan, was originally because of his personal wishes, he insisted on going his own way, and had to implement the acquisition plan, but now that the plan has failed, so that MAK has suffered losses, he will inevitably be opposed and reprimanded by the board of directors, and those directors will be angry because of the losses, and then they will unite and be able to oust Guan Bo! ”
Pierre was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Our failure." But we haven't failed yet! Tomorrow, Li Zhengtang may not dare to invest all the money, because his funds are not sufficient. Does he really know that we don't have the ability to fight back tomorrow, and does he dare to take this risk and invest all his money at once? ”
I didn't answer his question, and suddenly asked, "Pierre, how long have you been in the mak?" ”
Pierre was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Three years." ”
"Three years." I meditated, thinking in my heart. Three years is not a short time, and in the United States, where job hopping is easier than eating, those who can afford to change jobs are as frequent as changing clothes.
"What if, I mean what if." I looked at him and said slowly: "If this plan really fails, then several of you will be punished by the company for this failure, and the company will definitely fire you, and then you are willing to follow me?" ”
"What?" Pierre's mind was almost spinning.
I looked at him with a smile. God, I can already feel how vile and shameless my smile is!
"Pierre," I said with a smile, "I can tell you unequivocally that tomorrow, Li Zhengtang will definitely invest all his money." Because he knows the dire situation we are facing. He would have been able to guess for sure. So this plan of ours is doomed to fail. ”
"Why?" To my surprise, Pierre did not make any more fuss, but lowered his voice and said to me, "How do you know?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders, pretended to be careless, brought the wine glass to my lips, took a small sip of wine, and then smiled, "I can't tell you now." But don't forget, I moved from Zhengtang to MAK, and I know Li Zhengtang too well, and he will definitely do it. ”
Pierre's face was flushed, obviously very excited in his heart, but he still tried to suppress himself and asked, "So, after this plan fails, Guan Bo will step down?" So who's going to be the next president, well, no, I mean chairman. ”
I smiled: "The main war faction has fallen, and of course it is the pre-war opposition that has come to power." You see, who of the directors on the board who opposes this plan has the most shares? ”
Pierre immediately didn't think about it, and said, "It's Miss Lin Lan." After saying this, he paused, then suddenly came to his senses and screamed, "Oh my God! I understand! ”
He suddenly stood up, pointed at me and said in a trembling voice, "You, you, this is a conspiracy you have set up!" Lin Lan is your wife! You have premeditated and deliberately lost to Li Zhengtang, and then let your wife become the chairman! ”
Pierre glared at me angrily, he was indeed a good employee who was loyal to his duties, and he said fiercely: "You are doing this to the detriment of the company's interests!" ”
I shrugged my shoulders indifferently: "The interests of the company?" Whose company? ”
"Our own company, of course!" Pierre looked at me angrily.
I looked at him and laughed: "Your own company? Our company? You forgot about it, MAK is not my company, I am a newcomer at MAK, so I have no feelings for MAK! And strictly speaking, I can't be considered a mak person. ”
Pierre was immediately speechless, he blushed and thought for a while, and then said, "What about Lin Lan!" She's a director of MAK! ”
I sneered and looked directly at Pierre without the slightest fear: "That's not the point at all!" Is MAK Lin Lan's company? No! You're wrong! MAK is the company of Guan Bo! And now our approach is to make MAK change from 'Guan Bo's company' to 'Lin Lan's company'! ”
Pierre snorted angrily: "I don't play this word game with you!" I, I'm going to report this to HQ right away! ”
I looked at this very uncool Frenchman, stretched out an index finger, and shook it gently: "It's late." Now we have failed here. Guan Bo's position can no longer be saved. ”
"No, although we failed, we don't really lose much money these days!" Pierre quickly calculated: "Although this plan failed, we only lost 60 million. Although it may seem like a heavy loss, it is nothing at all for MAK! The loss of only 60 million yuan can't shake the position of Chairman Guan at all! The more Pierre spoke, the more confident he became.
I smiled, pointed to my seat, and said lightly, "Sit down, sit down and listen to me tell you slowly." Don't always be so impulsive, Monsieur Pierre. ”
Pierre hesitated, but finally sat down slowly.
I smiled lightly, and then said calmly, "You calculated correctly. Speaking of implementation, I appreciate you. You have your own principles for doing things, and you have a strong sense of the big picture. If what I said just now had been changed to Bourne, I would have been scared down by me, but you can still keep a calm analysis and then consider the problem from the overall situation. That's what I appreciate most about you. ”
"Hmph." Pierre snorted coldly, which was kind of an answer to me.
"But it's a pity." I deliberately shook my head: "It's a game at all, and we're the ones who lay it out, so we stand on the sidelines and watch others walk into the game." And you're unfortunate enough to be someone who happens to be in the game. There is an old saying in China that 'the authorities are confused'. You're smart, but because you're so confused by the game, there's something more crucial that you don't see. ”
"Where?" Looking at my confident appearance, Pierre really felt a little weak.
I said slowly: "Didn't I already say that although France seems to be the front line, we are not the main battlefield of this war. The direct losses we have caused here, to put it bluntly, are not a big deal, but don't you want to think about it, we are the key to success or failure here. How many ripple effects will our failure here bring? The damage caused by these chain reactions is very considerable. ”
