Chapter 106: Knowing People and Being Good at Duty
Walking out of the headquarters of the Childe consortium in Berlin and getting into the car, Reinhardt looked out the window and said to the 42-year-old female driver, Minal: "Go to the Army General Hospital, I want to have a good chat with General Sickert." ”
"Führer, your face seems to be tired." Minal asked as she drove.
Rose, who was in the car with Reinhardt, smiled when he heard this: "That's because you didn't look at the Führer's performance just now, you are simply a standard iron-blooded soldier." If you want me to say, such an image is really difficult to play. ”
"But .......," Rose asked suspiciously, "Führer, can you tell me why you want to play this play?" ”
Originally, the operation plan handed to Reinhardt by Ross was forcibly liquidated by the SS special forces to bring the companies of the Childe consortium scattered throughout Germany into the hands of the government in one fell swoop. Ross, who has the traditional rigorous and meticulous spirit of the Germans, marked every detail of the "requisition" plan in detail, and Reinhardt also approved Ross's plan. However, Reinhardt postponed the date of the operation by a full two months, adding today's performance operation.
Looking at the confused Rose, Reinhardt smiled tiredly and bitterly: "Once we forcibly expropriate all the enterprises controlled by the Child consortium today, will they still take out the deposits of Swiss banks to us?" ”
Unlike Rose, who admits death, the slick Reinhardt wants to extract as much profit as possible from these merchants. If the Childe family were to lose hope for the future, they would never have withdrawn the huge sum of money that had been deposited in the Swiss bank. In this way, it will only give away a huge amount of $4 billion from Swiss banks for nothing.
Doing a dowry for someone else, Reinhardt wouldn't do. Rather than cheapening the Swiss banks, as they have done historically, and leaving the Childe family's deposits "unclaimed" in Swiss banks, it would be better to find a way to slip into the pockets of the German government.
Looking at Rose, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Reinhardt patted the car door next to him: "Let me give you an example....... For example, I have to sell the car because I owe money. However, the price offered by the buyer was very low, which was difficult for me to accept. ”
At this time, psychological struggles are inevitable. While I have to sell the car, I'll try to fight for the greater good. Reinhardt said step by step: "Then, when the other party makes new concessions, I will loosen up my psychological bottom line." Under the pressure of the external environment, I was more likely to accept the result that seemed better. ”
Speaking of this, Reinhardt laughed and said, "Got it? Their sin is what I liken to be a debtor. The $4 billion compensation is the asking price that they find difficult to accept. And the 10 years of radio advertising that I asked you to propose is a concession we have made. And under the pressure of the external environment of punishment, they seem to have to accept our asking price. As a result, this result, which seemed to be better than before, seemed to be their only choice. ”
Terrible! Ross looked at Reinhardt with bright eyes and said adoringly: "I didn't expect the Führer to be so far-sighted and proficient in business theory. No wonder the heir and chairman of the Childe Consortium, known as the god of business warfare, will lose to you. ”
"He's a lot better than you think, though he may not have the same vision of the world as a politician. But in terms of bargaining ability, it will never be a waste. After refuting the optimistic Rose, Reinhardt sighed and said, "Otherwise, why would I pretend to be a rigid and tenacious soldier, and seem to be stubborn in communicating with him." ”
No wonder the other party seemed to have a feeling of nowhere to start, and Rose suddenly realized that this was because the image shown by Reinhardt did not leave room for the other party to negotiate. And the self that seems to be able to make a breakthrough in negotiations is precisely the trap that Reinhardt left to Chairman Meyer.
"Your subordinates understand that you have calculated every step of the other party's psychological thoughts from the very beginning, so you have made corresponding strategic arrangements. It looked like we were bargaining with Meyer, but in fact, we had already planned what we could pay and what we needed. ”
Hearing the compliment, Reinhardt's face instantly became frivolous and joyful. Rose's compliments are completely different from Meyer's sycophants, which are visceral and most intoxicating.
"Not bad." Reinhardt smiled kindly: "In terms of business warfare, I am definitely not Meyer's opponent. Only by starting from psychology can I have a chance of succeeding. ”
Although he had just been beaten up in the Childe Consortium and immediately put on a full-fledged performance of the Predators, the tired Reinhardt still boasted to himself under the adoring gaze of Rose: "There is one thing I still have to correct you, the price we pay is almost zero." It may seem like we have been providing a 10-year radio campaign for the Coca-Cola division of Childe Holdings, but in fact you know that the Childe consortium will not live longer than 2 months......."
Hearing this, Rose's eyes lit up instantly. That's right, the plan to forcibly recruit all the companies under the name of the Childe consortium was still formulated by him, how could he not react. Isn't the so-called 10 years of free advertising all for the promotion of companies under the control of the government in the future!?
What is eating people without spitting out bones, this is the perfect interpretation of eating people without spitting out bones! If Rose's admiration for Reinhardt once came from his heroic deeds, then what makes Ross admire Reinhardt so much now is definitely because of Reinhardt's incredible calculations. With such a leader, it is difficult to suffer losses!
At the same time that Rose was full of emotion, the tired Reinhardt finally fell asleep due to physical and mental exhaustion. I have to say that he is too hard to work today. If it was not the Gestapo minister Ross who cooperated with him, but the SS chief of the General Staff Steve, who was well known to him, then Reinhardt could have spent a lot less energy.
Unfortunately, Steve, who was clever and flexible, became an SS general and made a name for himself with the Ruhr War, and was the permanent leader of the Waffen-SS. Rose, who inherited the Germans' unique tradition of admitting death, was assigned by Reinhardt to operate the secret police department because of his loyalty. It has to be said that fate created man, and Steve, who was suitable to lead a special organization like the Gestapo, became the head of the SS sent by Reinhardt; Rus, who were suitable to lead the Waffen-SS and only had to fight as an organization, were instead assigned command of the Gestapo.
However, such an arrangement is not entirely unreasonable. In addition to personality factors, Reinhardt's personnel arrangements can be said to be quite standard. Steve, a former officer with a certain combat talent, leads the combat unit, and Rose, a former sergeant who is loyal to Reinhardt and meticulous in his work, handles the affairs of the secret police department with a standard of knowledge.
