Chapter 269: Gambling

The news of the cooperation between Alexander and the marching ants was not hidden. As soon as Alexander returned to Europe, the news was made public.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

As soon as the news of the full cooperation with the marching ants came out, the media was in an uproar. In addition to this, Alexander also announced that it will establish a network of regional agents throughout Europe.

Alexander's actions almost made Roche an agent of the marching ant company in Europe. Because of Roche's action, the capital's plan to block the marching ant company was completely ruined.

On the Internet, reports on Roche are overwhelming, including the world's major mainstream media, all of which are involved. Many platforms have invited economic experts to judge Roche's situation, both good and bad, but more people choose to amplify negative evaluations.

"Roche will become a puppet of marching ants!" 》

"Alexander will lead Roche into the abyss. 》

Joint Marching Ants? It is an opportunity for Roche's rise or a shortcut to destruction. 》

Short-sighted? Roche lost the watermelon and picked sesame seeds! 》

……

The mainstream voices are all singing about this cooperation. As for whether anyone is secretly guiding public opinion, it is unknown.

Not long after the voice of decay came out, the butterfly eye series of mobile phones of the marching ant company appeared in advertisements on various platforms.

Many people have seen butterfly eye mobile phones on the Internet, but there is no butterfly eye for sale in Europe, and they can only be purchased on some purchasing platforms or other channels. Therefore, the butterfly eye mobile phone in Europe is much more expensive than the official price.

Many people love the design style and shape, and they have also heard of the powerful features of butterfly-eye phones, such as the most secure smartphone operating system and the most advanced smart assistant.

Although the mobile phones of Huawei and Samsung are also equipped with the intelligent assistant of the marching ant company, there is still a gap between the operating system and the design style and butterfly eye.

The flagship phone released by the marching ant a year ago still has better performance than the flagship phones of those mobile phone companies now, and this is the gap.

Capital fights do not have much impact on ordinary people.

As soon as the butterfly-eye mobile phone was launched in Europe, it was snapped up by consumers. Because the first batch is limited in quantity, and half of them are customized machines of Rois Telecom, which was acquired by Roche, they can't grab mobile phones, and some people who like butterfly-eye mobile phones can only buy customized phones.

The telco's subscribers are steadily improving, which is a very good sign.

At the same time, the termite system and a series of enterprise office equipment of Marching Ant Company have also appeared in the office purchase orders of many small and medium-sized enterprises by virtue of the characteristics of the safest office system.

In the past, many companies wanted to buy equipment, but there were no ones in China, they were small enterprises, and it was very troublesome and expensive to import small batches, but now Roche has brought these things into the European market, and there is no such situation.

The termite system of the marching ant company once appeared when the 'clown virus' threatened the world's network security, and it was extremely eye-catching at that time, so that many people speculated that the clown virus was deliberately released by the marching ant company.

Although there are many rumors, none of them have been confirmed.

The only thing that can be determined is that the safety factor of the termite system does exceed that of Mac and indos, and after the development of marching ant companies, now various office ecosystems have become mature, and there are artificial intelligence assistants to improve office efficiency, which has naturally become the first choice for many companies to work.

As soon as the various equipment of the marching ant company entered the European market, a wind formed and began to sweep.

But there is a blessing in disguise

After Alexander's high-profile announcement of cooperation with the marching ants, there were also some situations within Roche.

At this time, in the conference room of the Luo family manor, everyone was wearing formal family clothes and their faces were cautious. This is their family meeting, which is attended by all the most important members of the family, and usually only appears when it is related to the family's major decisions.

Alexander, as one of the heirs, was also inside the conference table. Next to him was his father, David Rothschild.

At the conference table, there were also his uncles and heirs to the various estates of the family, his brothers and sisters.

Many of them did not look very good, and from time to time they looked at Alexander.

Acting for the company's products, including intelligent robots, mobile phones, computers, etc., Roche did make some money.

But their losses are much more than they gain.

After Alexander announced that he would help the marching ants enter the European market, their Roche investments in various industries were sniped by unknown consortiums and suffered heavy losses.

In addition to the exposed investment plans, some almost successful investment projects have also been aborted due to the intervention of unknown consortiums.

As those media said, this is obviously a loss of watermelon and sesame seeds.

The products of the marching ant company, they only have the right to act as an agent, and they can only get a small profit, and the bulk is still in the hands of the marching ant company.

If they had a stake in the marching ant company, they could use their family power to help the marching ant enter the international market, but they didn't.

investment, they can take a stake in the company, and they are not afraid that the other company will break off cooperation with them. Now it's different, the marching ants can change agents at any time, and when the time comes, they will really lose their wives and soldiers.

Compared with those consortium giants, today's Roche can only be regarded as ants. Now that many investments have been yellow, they may earn a little more in the short term, but after a long time, without decent investment, they will not be able to expand their contacts, and Roche's situation will become more and more difficult, which is not a good thing.

"We can ignore the leakage of investment plans, but the banking group must break off its cooperation with the marching ants." It was Alexander's uncle Eric, the former head of the Lafite Rothschild Group.

"Why?" Alexander asked unhurriedly.

"You say." Eric looked at his daughter, Saskia, and James across from him.

"Cooperating with the marching ant company has allowed us to be targeted by those big conglomerates, and our family's current situation is simply unable to withstand the impact of those big conglomerates. Our plan to buy a winery in France was successful, but after BlackRock was involved, we failed to do so. Saskia said.

"There is also De Beers' readiness to acquire a newly discovered diamond mine in South Africa, which is already in negotiations, and they have also broken off negotiations with us because of Vanguard Group's involvement." Sitting across from him, James, the heir to the jewelry business, also spoke.

After Saskia and James spoke out about the situation, other industry leaders on the court also spoke out about the situation they were facing.

Although it was not caused by the cooperation with the marching ant company, the leakage of the investment plan and the wave of media coverage have already had a considerable impact on their business.

"If you can get a stake in the marching ant company, we can do our best to help you, after all, it's all for the family, but now it's just an agent. There are some things, without us saying, that you should understand. An old man sitting on the seat said.

"Yes, if you can get a stake in the marching ant company, even if you sell our company's business, we will help you. But for a little agency fee, we have offended many people, the family business has suffered heavy losses, and the investment plan has been leaked by you, and now the family is struggling, and if this continues, our family's situation will only be more troublesome. Another old man chimed in.

"What do we trade for marching ants? Shares of the bank? A stake in the winery? If we were replaced, would we have exchanged? Making such a request will only disgust the other party, and don't forget how the marching ants fell out with the Altice group in the first place.

The group is in my hands, and I have the obligation to make it develop better. I have my plan, if the cooperation is terminated because of a little external force, what will others think of us Roche, and others will dare to cooperate with me in the future? ”

Alexander retorted, but David was silent, just listening.

"That's the immaturity of your decision-making, a lot of people see the potential of marching ants, but why doesn't anyone work with them? If we cooperate, will it be our turn? There's something deeper in this that you don't see, you're still too young. Eric said.

Seeing Eric speak again, everyone else turned their eyes to Alexander. Because ChΓ’teau Lafite makes a lot of money and its status in the family is also improving, it is Eric who has the most weight to speak on the field.

Alexander's face is bad, and Eric says that he is young, meaning that he is not capable enough to manage a banking group.

"They don't cooperate because they're too greedy and want the marching ants to compromise and hand over their shares. In their eyes, the apples grown by others should be given to them in part, or the apple trees will be destroyed.

Nobody wants to work deeply with marching ants, and if we work with them, it seems that we are more sincere, so why not consider this an opportunity? ”

"Opportunities for agency? It's just an agency, you can get it at any time, and the marching ants can be removed at any time, what else do you have when the time comes? ”

Eric said unceremoniously.

"The profits of our winery every year are managed by you. Now you're messing around with that money and we're incurring losses, and that's what you're talking about?

If you do not interrupt the cooperation with the marching ant company, either you give up the position of the banking group, otherwise, the annual profit of our group will be determined by us to develop the investment plan. ”

"I agree with Eric's words, either you give up the position of the banking group, or break off the cooperation with the marching ants. If it continues, it will only cause the family to suffer greater losses. We will also consider whether it is time to leave the profits of the company to you to manage. Another old man chimed in.

"Does it mean that if I don't break up the cooperation, I will break up?" Alexander's face darkened.

"Alright, stop."

David, who had not spoken, spoke, and everyone on the field fell silent. They had been putting pressure on David to take a stand. This matter has already hurt their interests, and they cannot be indifferent.

"Give him two years, if within two years, he doesn't control the situation well, I can help him make the decision and give up the position of the heir to the banking group, how about it?" David swept over the faces of everyone on the field.

"In our current situation, after two years, I'm afraid it's too late for anything, one year at most." "In a year's time, he only needs to increase the banking group's profits by 20 percent, and he will be successful," Eric said. ”

"20% a year is too high, isn't it?" David frowned, 10% profit a year is already very high, and 20% is already very terrifying.

"Not high, don't forget, the winery and jewelry industry lost a lot of money because of this. Didn't he say he had his own plans? This shows that 20% is not difficult. ”

"In a year and a half, I increased the bank's profits by 25%, and if I can't do it, I will automatically withdraw and be managed by you by your choice." Alexander said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Some of the old people on the field, as if they had achieved their goal, showed a triumphant smile on the corner of their mouths. They forced the palace for this gamble.
