Chapter 1522 The government is used to carry the black pot (three more, one more to)
"Your intelligence...... Are you sure? Norton's voice shook violently as he asked this.
"Mr. Norton, are you doubting our integrity?" On the phone, the middleman got angry, "How many intelligence deals do you roll Royce have with us every year?" Have we ever provided false information? ”
Norton was speechless.
Indeed, the cooperation between rolls-Royce and the other party has a history of several decades, and even when rolls-Royce and the Chinese cooperated in the "Spey" engine, they promoted it in the middle, and over the years, although their asking price was relatively dark, the authenticity of every piece of information provided never had to be doubted.
"Well, it's my fault," realizing his mistake, Norton apologized sharply, he didn't dare to offend the other party for such a trivial matter, "So, we're in trouble?" ”
"This is beyond the scope of our business, we are only responsible for sales intelligence, not for you to analyze," the other man chuckled, as if Norton's bow made him feel very happy, "but based on our good relationship over the years, I still have to advise you: Mr. Norton, you, the British Empire, and your Rolls-Royce company have little time, and this country is changing every day with amazing changes that are stunning, I can't imagine what missing out on such a thriving country would mean to the rolls-Royce company and the British Empire. ”
Although he said that he would not analyze it, he had already implicitly named something...... After all, everyone has been partners for many years, and he can't bear to see rolls-Royce fall into the pit so stupidly: rolls-Royce is a big customer of the company, and such a big customer is unlucky because of a mistake. How much damage will the company incur as a result?
Only the living sheep can keep growing wool and shear the sheep themselves, and the dead sheep have no value in shearing.
Norton agreed with the other party's words, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke again, but his voice was much lower than just now, "Mr. Martin, give us a suggestion, what can we do to solve the current crisis...... For this proposal, we offered £1 million. ”
This is the first time Norton has directly called each other by their first name.
"Nope. £5,000,000 for no two dollars! The intermediary was suddenly a little annoyed, "Also, don't call me by name." ”
"£5 million...... Deal! Norton, who instinctively wanted to bargain with the other party again, thought of the other party's habit after saying the three words "no two prices". When it comes to the lips, it becomes "deal!" "I'm sorry." ”
"Go find the Chinese kid surnamed Lin who was cheated by you very badly." Martin snorted. "As long as he is satisfied, you can find a solution to the problem...... For the sake of the £5,500,000 you have spent today, I would like to give you an extra word of advice, though you will not listen: the Chinese boy surnamed Lin is also proud, and I advise you not to act with the pride of your British Empire gentleman when dealing with him. ”
————————————————————————
Norton didn't have the slightest doubt about Martin's words, and the "integrity" of the Rolls-Royce company's dealings with his company for decades convinced Norton that Martin's words were true. Lin Hongfei is indeed the key to solving the dilemma between Britain and Rolls-Royce, although he is very curious that such a young man can be the key to solving the crisis of Rolls-Royce in China, but it is still necessary to immediately convene a board of directors to discuss this matter.
Has the situation reached this level? After listening to Norton's introduction, the shareholders of rolls-Royce looked at each other. They all couldn't believe it, and even directly questioned Norton's words, "Mr. Norton, are you telling the situation...... Well, something too serious? ”
Norton also knew that the situation he said was a little unacceptable to the gentlemen of the British Empire, and he didn't get angry, but just dropped a sentence, "Martin's intelligence is accurate, I believe that you distinguished gentlemen should be trustworthy, and if you don't believe it, you can go and verify it." ”
As soon as these words came out, there were no other voices in the luxurious conference room, replaced by dignified faces: Martin's credit, everyone is indeed very trustworthy, since the situation has reached such a serious level, then ...... Could it be that you really want to bow your head to the little yellow-skinned monkey who was looked down upon by everyone before?
The self-esteem of the gentlemen of the British Empire made them unwilling to bow to Lin Hongfei even if the rolls-Royce company was already facing such a crisis: it was too low.
Is no one talking? Glancing at everyone, Norton's reaction was a little disappointed, he had hoped that someone would take the initiative to stand up and contact the Chinese, but now it seems that this is indeed his own too extravagant idea, since no one spoke, Norton simply named, "Mr. Ernest, do you have anything you want to say?" ”
The cause of this incident is still in Ernest, who don't you look for him first?
"I ...... No ......" Ernest's face was a little ugly, although he had expected Norton to find him first, but when Norton really called his name, Ernest was still annoyed, "But no matter what, we can't sit back and watch the situation get worse...... I think we should work together to solve this problem. ”
Okay, that's true, but saying it means saying nothing...... Who doesn't know that Lu Dao needs everyone to work together to solve this problem at this time, otherwise what is this meeting for?
Norton frowned, if he could, he really wanted to smash the coffee cup in his hand on Ernest's head: Nima caused us trouble with you bastard in the first place, and now there is a problem, and you want us big guys to wipe your ass together? Disgusting people aren't so disgusting, but Nima! I am a gentleman of good manners...... At this moment, Norton suddenly hated himself like never before, how could he be a gentleman?
"Yes, we need to work together," Norton frustrated himself with the urge to smash the coffee cup on Ernest's head, "Mr. Ernest, do you have any suggestions?" ”
He bites the word "you" hard.
There was a low burst of laughter in the conference room, and everyone knew that Mr. Lu Dao had bitten the pronunciation of the word "you" so hard, in fact, when it was determined that the idiot of Ernest had decided how much trouble Irolls-Royce had caused and how much loss it might have brought to himself, the shareholders were very dissatisfied with Ernest, but for a while everyone couldn't find a suitable excuse and reason to attack, now it's okay, Mr. President took the initiative to send excuses and reasons to the big guys.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ernest, do you have any good idea?" The other shareholders, who hated Ernest's previous idiotic decision, suddenly began to fall into the trap.
Ernest's face was red and white, he didn't expect that he had already "hinted" so clearly, Norton, the old immortal bastard, continued to be so unrelenting, and the questions of the other shareholders were like a slap in the face, but he didn't dare to offend so many of his friends at the same time, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on, "I...... I haven't ...... yet."
"No......"
Norton looked at Ernest, shook his head in disappointment, and repeated...... That expression, that look, made the shareholders laugh for a while: it seems that Ernest, the bastard, really stimulated Mr. Chairman.
Fortunately, this is the end of it, Norton is not too concerned about himself, he has no intention of stepping on Ernest to death, and turned his head to look at the other shareholders, "Since Mr. Ernest has no choice, then, gentlemen, which of you has a constructive opinion?" I must remind you that this is not the time to see the excitement, and if you lose the market in a country with an annual growth rate of 30% and a population of 1.2 billion people, I think everyone knows what this means for rolls-Royce. ”
"Mr. President, I have a suggestion," Sir William, who had been bowing his head and pondering, and still writing and drawing on paper from time to time, finally spoke, he raised his head, and without waiting for Norton and the other shareholders to ask, he confidently took the initiative to speak, "This matter is not only a major matter of our rolls-Royce company, if it is not handled well, the biggest loss is not only our rolls-Royce company, but the whole of Britain, since the biggest loss is the British Empire, then as the prime minister of the British Empire, Will Prime Minister Major also have to contribute? ”
What Sir William meant by this ...... Let the British government take the blame?!
What a solution! The directors smacked these words, but their eyes became brighter and brighter: yes, why didn't you think of this good solution before? If the Chinese received the RD-33 engine from Russia, it was the entire British Empire that suffered, then why should we just roll - Royce to help? The British Empire is the one who should contribute the most, isn't it?
"Good! That's it! Norton's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately pressed the intercom on the table and instructed his secretary, "Contact Prime Minister Major and say that I will visit him tonight...... Whatever he does, he's going to give me two hours to spare. ”
In everyone's eyes, the government ...... In many cases, it is used to carry the black pot.
Capitalism, capital is king, capital has the final say, this is simply too natural. (To be continued......)
