The Imperial Group is the world's second largest group living area with a population of 80 million, and it is also the most in-depth internal economic group in the world, the entire Imperial Group is composed of a total of 108 large and small consortia, the large consortia occupy important positions, the medium-sized consortia are like princes distributed in various cities, and the smaller ones can only occupy various administrative positions, becoming a district, a street overlord.

The advantage of conglomerates is that all parties compromise with each other and strike a balance through elections and transactions. The disadvantage is that the wealth that should have belonged to the group is now hidden in various consortia, large and small.

Therefore, the books of the imperial group will always only set aside 2 months of basic operating funds, and the rest of the money will be used for such and such investments, and finally the money will be reasonably distributed to the major consortia, ensuring that the quality of life of these bigwigs is thriving.

In comparison, like the centralized management model of the Bawang Group, the practice of collecting all funds in one place is more conducive to the advancement and development of the group, while Zhang Lan has to face the threat of bankruptcy as soon as he takes office.

That's right, Zhang Lan transferred a large amount of money to Galileo with a wave of his hand, so that the imperial group's books could be said to be exhausted, and only in this way could he have a reason to convene another consortium meeting.

This time, the council was far rarer than the last one, and only 108 bigwigs were convened in total, and even half of the last meeting room was not filled. The more obvious difference is that almost all of the people who came this time were old grandparents and grandmothers, and most of them were new faces.

Because in fact, the heads of major consortia are not very accustomed to being involved in the deep political environment, and they will assign spokespersons to the management to get all kinds of important resources, and they can only do other things if they maintain their pure businessman status.

There are really very few people like Zack, who is also the manager of the Renault consortium and the minister of industry.

These old grandfathers and grandmothers, one or two of them looked like kind old men who would sit in front of the bank and gossip when the sun came out, it was hard to imagine that they were in charge of 70% of the wealth of the Imperial Group, and they were the ones who could make Patton nod and talk to them on their knees.

Zhang Lan was also a little uncomfortable to participate in this kind of meeting, because Jiang was always old and spicy, and there were too many wrinkles on their faces, and they all hid the little Jiujiu in their hearts.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lan calmly walked into the venue, and in the face of a group of consortium bosses, he first bowed deeply and saluted, "Hello bosses, my name is Zhang Lan, and I am the new chairman of the board of directors who has come to work for you, please advise." ”

"The chairman is too modest, we are your workers, as an old bone in the board of directors, you don't have to give a big gift." An old woman laughed.

"No, no, no, we have to smooth out the relationship inside, you have 70% of the wealth of the imperial group in your hands, which one of the industrial and commercial farmers is not in your hands? I'm just a senior worker who works for you, and if I do a good job, I guess I will be killed by you, right? Zhang Lan smiled.

"No matter how much wealth you have, you are not as powerful as the person with a butcher's knife, if we are really that dick, you say that there will be a meeting, will anyone come? We're scared too! An old man sighed helplessly.

"Power, money, and power, the combination of the three can accomplish great things, otherwise it can only become a stumbling block for each other. I also want to make a deal with you today. Zhang Lan said bluntly, "Now that the book balance of the Imperial Group is insufficient, and our tax revenue is no longer enough to restore our economic situation in a short period of time, in order to actively prepare for war, we need more money and more resources to maintain people's livelihood and military construction." I need money! ”

"Since the chairman has spoken, then I will take the lead, our Renault Group voluntarily paid 500 million federal coins to fill the treasury." Zach understated.

"Then I'll donate 200 million!"

"It's so stingy, I'll donate 220 million!"

"I'll come 80 million."

For a while, the venue was full of the sound of throwing money, and in just a few minutes, Zhang Lan collected nearly 20 billion federal coins.

But he was not happy at all, sitting on the chairman's throne and frowning, "I think everyone misunderstood what I meant, I need money, not handouts." The current imperial bloc is a thorn in the side of the overlord, a thorn in the flesh, and a full-scale war may start at any time, can we rely on tens of billions to fight this kind of war? ”

"Dear Chairman, have you misunderstood a concept? Why did we become the sworn enemies of the Overlord Group? Isn't it because of your personal grudge? If you want to avoid this war, there are many simple ways, for example, you abdicate and report to Gu Xuan's door by yourself, I think the Overlord Group will even issue a letter of praise to us, right? ”

This time it was a white-haired old woman who was dressed in a gorgeous court evening dress, her demeanor was dignified and elegant, her speech was sonorous and powerful, and the fine lines on her skin were so faint that they could hardly be seen if she did not approach.

And she is also what Zach reminded Zhang Lan, the most difficult Obasang to deal with - Mrs. Eisen.

This is a super-conglomerate that controls 9% of the food and daily necessities production industry of the Imperial Group, and the wealth accumulated by selling hamburgers is almost as much as Zach can make from selling airplanes and cannons.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, the 80-year-old Mrs. Eisen would have been president long ago. Although she is not ranked high in the Imperial Group, no one dares to ignore her strength, after all, she is also the key to determining the quality of life of a nobleman, all the high-end ingredients come from her supply, without Aisen, the rich can only buy disgusting plastic instant noodles in the Imperial Group.

"Mrs. Eisen, even if I really do what you ask, the Imperial Group will not last for 2 years, because it is impossible for Gu Xuan to let the group other than the Overlord continue to survive, he already has the power to rule the earth, just wait for the implementation step by step. It is precisely because Mark understands this truth that he will lead the Sunset Group to rise up and resist, giving mankind the last trace of justice and the right to survive. Zhang Lan was concise and to the point.

"Little friend, it's not an exaggeration to call me grandma at your age, before you were born, I saw the ugliest thing in the world, ambition can't destroy the earth, the only thing that really makes humanity perish is war. If you look at our recent history, every war destroys part of our living space, increases the price of food, and causes many people to starve to death on the streets. Do you see war as the only solution? Do you want to save humanity or destroy everything? Mrs. Eisen's questioning was sonorous and forceful, making Zhang Lan speechless for a while.

"I admit that war is a shackle that drags human civilization to hell, we use killing to vent our anger to achieve selfish goals, we make the black clouds in the sky unable to drift, let the population continue to decline, and let our own people live in misery. But stop resisting, become a slave, and let your fate be dictated by others...... If I had to live like this, I would rather destroy the earth. ”

Zhang Lan said firmly, "I will not sit idly by and watch the Overlord Group swallow up the world, nor will I stop resisting." I need your understanding and support, even if you don't. Therefore, I have decided that from now on, the group will officially participate in the consortium under your control, and the group will naturally hold 30% of the shares, and in the future, 30% of your profits will be automatically transferred to the national treasury as our capital chain. ”

As soon as Zhang Lan finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar!
