415 Despair
Oliver Winchester has had a headache recently, the acquisition of Winchester by the Horse Group has been carried out in secret, buy a little today and buy a little tomorrow, inconspicuous, Oliver Winchester was quite happy for a while, because Winchester's stock price has been rising, and Oliver Winchester even turned around the idea of selling some shares to cash out.
When Oliver Winchester found out that the Horse Group was buying Winchester's shares, Oliver Winchester realized that the Horse Group had controlled so many Winchester shares, and if Oliver Winchester did not do anything more, maybe after a while, Winchester would become a second Springfield.
This made Oliver Winchester feel a visceral fear that without Winchester, Oliver Winchester would be disqualified from serving as a senator from Massachusetts, and Oliver Winchester would have nothing left.
The Stallion Group must not be allowed to succeed, these are the heartfelt words of Oliver Winchester.
But in the face of the strong offensive of the Horse Group, Oliver Winchester felt very powerless, and Oliver Winchester could not be moved by the high price offered by the Horse Group, but Oliver Winchester could not guarantee that the other shareholders were not moved.
After learning that the Horse Group had begun to acquire Winchester, Oliver Winchester immediately went to Winchester's second largest shareholder, Massachusetts Rep. Michael Wood.
Michael Wood, who owns 15 percent of Winchester's shares, should now be said to be the third largest shareholder of Winchester, and if Oliver Winchester has not miscalculated, the second largest shareholder should be the Horse Group.
"Oliver, we're old friends, if it was before, I would definitely do my best to support you, but you know, the situation is different now, it's an economic crisis, everyone is looking for an opportunity to strengthen their hands, I really don't want to sell Winchester shares to Springfielders, but when Springfield people put the price to $20 a share, you know, no one can refuse the temptation, if you are willing to open the price to $20 a share, I will not hesitate to sell the stock to you. "Michael Wood is frankly terrible, and of course he will talk about feelings, but in the face of interests, blindly talking about feelings is playing hooligan.
When Oliver Winchester was visiting Michael Wood, he happened to meet Grover Cleveland leaving Michael's home, and Oliver Winchester knew that Grover Cleveland was the lead lawyer of the Horse Group, and at this critical juncture, Grover Cleveland appeared at Michael's home for a self-evident purpose.
Maybe if Oliver Winchester had been a day late, Michael would have sold his stock to the Springfielders, and as for feelings—
Well, Oliver Winchester himself doesn't believe it.
"Michael, we've been friends for many years, we've watched Winchester go from a small factory to where it is today, you know the nature of the Springfield people, if they get Winchester, then Winchester will cease to exist, they will even move the factory to Springfield, think about the old guys who have been working in our factory for decades, can you bear to watch them close to retirement and get nothing?" Oliver Winchester didn't give up, as long as there is something to hope for, Oliver Winchester will give his best.
"No, no, no, Oliver, you are prejudiced against the Horse Group, look at the current Springfield, although the label has disappeared, but the Springfield factory still exists, and the workers of Springfield can get more paid than before, enjoy more generous treatment than before, how long have you not been to Winchester? Now that everyone knows that the ZAMA Group is buying Winchester, as far as I can tell, there are already a lot of workers who can't wait to see the ZAMA Group implement the benefits of the ZAMA Group in Winchester, and it's no secret. Michael Wood shook his hand again and again, looking at Oliver Winchester with helplessness.
As for the welfare of the Junma Group, thanks to the blessing of Time Magazine, it is already well known that before the emergence of the Junma Group, the workers did not have much attachment to the factory, the factory owner hired workers to work for him, and after paying the salary, the factory owner completed all the obligations, as for the life of the workers, the factory owner did not pay much attention, and if there were no workers, it would be re-employed.
The emergence of the Junma Group has changed all this, the Junma Group provides basic living conditions for employees, if there is an illness during the work, even if it is not a work-related injury, the Junma Group will not let go, the employees will work for the Junma Group for a certain number of years, they begin to have a retirement fund, this retirement fund is returned year by year after the worker retires, and the employees of the Junma Group even have a salary during the vacation, which is simply a blessing for the workers.
The employee welfare of the ZAMA Group is so good that no matter what kind of migrant workers' organization it is, there is no room for survival in the ZAMA Group.
In order to maintain the welfare of employees, Junma Group has organized a workers' club, all workers of Junma Group are eligible to join, the purpose of the existence of this workers' club is not to oppose the factory owner, but to assist Junma Group to provide benefits for employees, such as holding an entertainment party, staff sports meeting and other activities, and such as employee weddings and funerals, the staff club will be dispatched, which is a mutual aid organization between the employees of Junma Group.
In order to improve the loyalty of employees, other large companies have begun to formulate relevant benefits, such as Rockefeller's Standard Oil, their employee welfare policy is simply copied from the Junma Group, but employees must work in Standard Oil for more than ten years to enjoy the relevant benefits.
Really, Standard Oil has only been established for many years, and it is estimated that it will take five or six years to really implement these benefits.
"Michael, have you decided to sell your shares to the Horse Group?" Oliver Winchester looked indignant.
Winchester also has relevant benefits for employees, but like Standard Oil, these benefits have not been implemented, not that Oliver Winchester does not want to treat Winchester's workers well, but during the economic crisis, Oliver Winchester's life is not easy, if there is no big order in Turkey, Winchester is now poor and can't open the pot, so the related expenses can still be saved.
But unexpectedly, this province saved the problem, and the threat of the Horse Group pressed on Oliver Winchester's chest like a mountain, making Oliver Winchester feel suffocated.
"No, Oliver, we're old friends, so I'll think about you first, and if you're willing to pay the same price as the Stallion Group, I'll sell you the stock, not the Springfielders." Michael Wood is a bit of a bottomline, and under the same conditions, Oliver Winchester has priority.
"Well, I want you to give me three days, and after three days, I will buy your shares at the same price." Oliver Winchester had made up his mind, Michael Wood had said it to his part, and there was no point in holding on any longer.
Leaving Michael Wood's house and looking up at the sun hanging in the air, Oliver Winchester felt a little dizzy, although the sun was very big in the sky, Oliver Winchester felt a chill in his body, and he didn't seem to feel any temperature.
Sitting in the car, Oliver Winchester angrily threw away the hat on his head, broke the civilization staff in his hand, and ripped off the bow tie on his chest on the carpet that was still laid under the car, and then ran it a few times with his foot.
This car was just bought by Oliver Winchester a month ago, when Winchester's stock price rose all the way, Oliver Winchester was in a happy mood, so he bought this BMW car, you must know that BMW was very sought-after at that time, in order to get the car as soon as possible, Oliver Winchester even paid a price three percent higher than the market price.
Now it seems that all this has become a travesty.
Oliver Winchester buys the products of the Stallion Group at a higher price than the market price, and then these profits are turned into arrows, becoming an accomplice to bury Oliver Winchester.
"Go to the State Bank—" Oliver Winchester commanded the driver, and leaned back in his chair in a frustrated manner.
The days of the state bank are not easy, during the economic crisis, the banks are tightening the monetary base, for which the previous chairman of the state bank has retired, the new chairman and Oliver Winchester are not familiar with each other, as a senator of Massachusetts, Oliver Winchester was still full of confidence waiting for the new chairman to come to the dock, but I didn't expect that now it has fallen, Oliver Winchester wants to visit the new chairman of the state bank first, which is really ironic.
Oliver Winchester knew that the richest bank in Massachusetts should be the Bank of America, but the Bank of America would not lend money to Oliver Winchester, so Oliver Winchester didn't look at his opponent's smug and nasty face.
Being a senator is still very beneficial, at least Oliver Winchester doesn't need to make an appointment to see anyone.
When Oliver Winchester made his intentions known, the new president of Massachusetts was full of apologies: "Mr. Senator, as much as I would love to help you, you know that there has just been a change in the leadership of the state bank, and the accounts are currently being handed over, so if you want to use the money in a week, I think I can help." ”
One week!
The daylilies are cold.
