[Finally on the closure push, during the closure period, one chapter will be lifted every day. 】

A few days later, I flew from New York to Frankfurt Airport in Germany on a private jet from Royalty, and then took a pre-arranged car directly to Hamburg. Many reporters waiting at Hamburg Airport were left waiting.

Due to a time difference, when I arrived at the Malti Hotel in Hamburg, no one knew I had arrived. There was no point in doing that, but the royal court demanded that I have to do it - he said that we had to pretend to be unfathomable in front of the media, so that they could not guess what we were really doing. There are many places in the mall that are the same as on the battlefield - only the unknown is the most terrifying. Try to do a lot of things unexpectedly, so that people will think that you are scary, and it will make people think that you are powerful. This will make your opponents feel terrified of you!

I was accompanied by a few of the subordinates assigned to me by the IBB to carry out the plan. According to the discussion with Yang Wei, all the personnel selected by me in the investment department of IBB this time, but I expanded the scope of personnel selected without authorization, and I did not only select personnel in the investment department, but also selected people in the whole company of IBB. I picked a Frenchman named Reagan in the investment department as my deputy, an experienced financial expert. After that, a guy named Byron was selected from the securities department and he was appointed as a trader in the stock market. I thought about the candidate for a long time, and finally Yang Wei recommended this Byron to me. After studying his profile in detail, I decided that it was him. This Byron seems to have had a natural sensitivity to stocks, and he was a Jew, with a Jew's natural shrewdness—sometimes too shrewdness.

In the end, I also picked an assistant who also served as my secretary. I deliberately consulted the royal court. I asked to be given the blonde beauty I was the docent at the IBB Board of Directors for the first time. I have made some considerations on this point.

This woman named Monica is likely to be a close confidant of the royal court, so I need to make a gesture and take the initiative to ask for the cronies of the royal court to be placed next to me, in exchange for the absolute trust of the royal court in me.

Whether it's Regan or Byron, they're all ordinary employees of IBB. Their relationship with Wang Ting is limited to the relationship between the boss and the employees. None of them are close associates of the royal court, but this Monica is a close person of the royal court.

There were four of us, and we had been discussing it secretly in New York. I announced the specific division of labor in detail:

Regan is the head of finance and is responsible for liaising with the bank, including the availability of funds, as well as related costing and financial co-ordination. He even had to deal with a lot of people, including the tax office.

Byron is directly responsible for the stock market, which I directly control, and he is also directly responsible for me, and he is responsible for all the stock trading.

Monica is my assistant, responsible for some liaison work and some regular secretarial work, as well as some information collation and liaison with headquarters.

In fact, in the past few days, Byron has quietly opened several anonymous accounts in the stock market, buying Henkel shares in batches. Secretly holds a small portion of Henkel's stock. By the time I went to Germany publicly, Byron had already had about $160 million worth of Henkel stock in several of his accounts, and Byron was quite secretive, keeping the amount of each transaction to a very small amount.

Of course, this kind of secrecy is just a fake, in fact, Chen Yuan has learned about this move from me, but he is very cooperative and pretends not to be aware of it, and deliberately secretly sells a small part of the stock to cooperate with my purchase here.

In the afternoon, I held a press conference at the Malti Hotel to publicly announce that IBB would officially start the acquisition of Henkel. I prepared a well-crafted speech by experts in advance and published it in front of the media.

In my speech, I pointed out that IBB had no intention of harming Henkel, as IBB already held a 20% stake in Henkel. IBB's move this time is only a declaration of war against Yuanda, a declaration of war against Chen Yuan, not a declaration of war on Henkel. In my speech, I strongly attacked Chen Yuan, emphasizing that Chen Yuan was not a qualified leader, and listed a series of grounds to accuse Chen Yuan of being the real person who undermined Henkel's development. My strongest accusation is that Chen Yuan did not put Henkel on the official track in time after acquiring Henkel, but because of Yuanda's ineffective work and poor support, Henkel's stock price is now falling step by step, causing shareholders to suffer a lot of losses. At the same time, there is another point, although I did not say it explicitly, but as long as I stand here, it has fully shown another point: I, Chen Yang, as the former president of Henkel within the Yuanda Group, have turned their guns to beat Chen Yuan, you can imagine how incompetent Chen Yuan, the leader!

Although I did not mention a single word of this point in my speech, it is ironclad proof that I am standing here. I don't have to say these things myself, the "analysts" of the media will help me say them.

Finally, after I finished my speech, I announced through the media in a very sincere tone: I hope that the small shareholders who hold Henkel shares can believe in the sincerity of IBB, IBB hopes to make Henkel have a better development, and has the ability to let these shareholders obtain better benefits, and at the same time, IBB is willing to buy the shares of Henkel in the hands of these small shareholders at a standard of 2% higher than the market price, or obtain their share proxies on favorable terms.

When I said these words, I couldn't help but think of the scenes in those war movies I watched when I was a child in China. I feel as if I am the PLA soldiers standing in front of the enemy trenches in those movies, shouting: [***] brothers, follow the stubborn resistance of Chiang Kai-shek's reactionaries to no good results, and the PLA treats prisoners preferentially......

This speech took me twenty-five minutes, and I did everything I could to attack Chen Yuan, belittle Chen Yuan's ability and Henkel's decision-making mistakes. After that, it's time to answer questions from reporters.

The first to ask was Suzanne. Because we are acquaintances, I treat her more preferentially, and I am the first to signal her to ask questions.

Suzanne smiled and asked me: "Mr. Chen Yang, if IBB's acquisition of Henkel is successful, who will be the new president of Henkel after the acquisition?" Could it be you? If so, can it be called a glorious return for you? Because you were the former president of Henkel. ”

I smiled: "First of all, IBB is full of confidence in this acquisition plan, we have made a very careful plan in advance, but after all, the board of directors has not decided who will be the next president of Henkel before the matter is over, but I can at least be sure that the next president will definitely not be Mr. Chen Yuan." ”

My little humor immediately made everyone laugh.

I then laughed and said, "I personally have no special interest in the position of president of Henkel, but there is an indisputable fact that I think I should be the one who knows the most about the operation of Henkel within IBB." So, I'm sure the Board will take this into account when the time comes. In fact, I can openly tell you that the reason why I left Henkel and left Yuanda was because I personally had many different opinions about Henkel's business strategy and Mr. Chen Yuan. Personally, I think that if Mr. Chen Yuan had listened to my opinion earlier, then the stock price of Henkel should definitely not be 12 euros, but 21 euros! ”

Suzanne immediately asked very cooperatively: "So can you say that you think you are more suitable than Mr. Chen Yuan for the operation of Henkel?" ”

I didn't answer her directly, but said with a smile: "A good company should be controlled by an excellent entrepreneur, just like a ship must have an excellent captain." If, on the contrary, a boat is under the control of an unqualified captain, it will sooner or later be overturned by the waves. ”

Susanna's question was actually deliberately cooperating with me to create a momentum for me. Putting aside my personal relationship with her, CNN, as an American media, naturally helps American companies speak.

The reporter who asked the question immediately was obviously a media member who was close to Yuanda's view.

A reporter from a German media stood up and asked: "Although Mr. Chen Yang said that IBB will have a better way to operate Henkel, according to our statistics, IBB, as a venture capital fund, has planned and directly participated in several mergers and acquisitions of enterprises in recent years. That is to say, IBB has never been in the habit of running a business in the traditional way, and it has never had such a record. Such a move would be a huge profit for IBB, but if you buy Henkel and sell it immediately, it will be a blow to the German economy. May I ask Mr. Chen Yang, what you just said, can I understand that IBB officially announced that it promised not to dismantle Henkel? ”

That's a bit of an aggressive question.

And it's a very dangerous question, and it's hard for me to answer.

If I had replied that IBB was indeed planning to sell Henkel after the fact, it would have caused a total boycott of IBB in the German media, and then under the patriotic slogans of these German media, no small shareholder would dare to openly sell their shares to IBB. Although this is good for me and Chen Yuan - anyway, our purpose is to deliberately make this IBB acquisition plan fail. But it will cause great dissatisfaction in the royal court, and even cause the royal court to suspect me.

But if I answer that IBB will not sell Henkel, then the royal court will blame me as well. Because according to his plan, it is indeed dismantled and sold as soon as the acquisition is successful. By saying this now, I am making IBB lose credibility in the future. As a Western business, credit is one of the most important corporate capitals. If a company does not have credit, then it will not survive in the Western world at all - this is something that many of our Chinese enterprises cannot understand.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I think the future of the dismantling is a very distant topic. Obviously, this gentleman is very confident in our IBB acquisition plan, otherwise he would not have asked us what we would do with Henkel after the acquisition was successful. ”

I hit these few words in a row, and by the way, I gave him a little shade, which made the reporters present laugh again.

I then said, "As for what to do after the acquisition, we at IBB have a very detailed aftermath plan. And I think it's a very beneficial plan for Henkel and for the shareholders – but it's a plan that I can't disclose right now because of trade secrets. I smiled slightly, then put away my smile and said in a deep voice: "However, I must point out one thing now, and this is that it doesn't matter whether we IBB will sell Henkel in the future - if the current situation of Henkel is going on, the stock price is already shaky and the company is in crisis." At this time, even if we IBB don't intervene, it won't be long before Chen Yuan can't support it, and he himself will be forced to dismantle and sell Henkel first! I hope you understand that. ”

I then answered a few more questions from reporters, and gradually, some of them turned to me personally, as if they were more interested in my personal affairs than in Henkel's affairs. Indeed, from my personal experience, it is enough to be called a legend - a senior executive of a broad company suddenly defected to IBB, and then immediately entered the top management of IBB, and became the son-in-law of the president of IBB, and finally returned to Yuanda with a large amount of money.

This involves beauty, money, power, love, and status...... And so on and so forth. Together, these elements are enough for Hollywood to make a movie.

Finally, I looked at my watch and gestured to Monica with my eyes, and Monica understood and immediately announced the end of the press conference. Then I politely ask you to leave. These reporters also rubbed all over the day, and the cameras and camcorders in their hands flashed at me for a long time. It was only after Monica's repeated urging that they began to pack their gear.

After these guys with cameras and cameras went out, I immediately received a call from Yang Wei.

"Yes, I'm on the TV, and you're doing a great job. The acting is top-notch. Yang Wei said with a smile on the phone.

I didn't speak.

Yang Wei's voice continued with a smile: "Cunning and changeable, retreat is advance. Honey, when did you learn these tricks too? ”

I politely said into the phone, "Honey, I learned this from you.
