[Lift the ban on time :), I hope you will read the book and don't forget to smash the ticket :)]

In the evening, Regan and I were drinking at the hotel bar. I have a lot of admiration for this shrewd Frenchman, and if it weren't for our differences, I would have really liked to be able to win him over. Reagan was different from Byron, who was shrewd at times, but his overly calculating caste, typical of Jews, limited his vision and vision. Regan, on the other hand, is a person with a strong sense of the big picture, and often when some situations can't be opened, he can see things that ordinary people can't see.

We sat across from each other, but Regan didn't seem to talk much. Apparently Regan was a little unkind to me, or rather, he didn't look down on me. It's easy to understand that under my "leadership" the attack was flawed, and now the IBB has suffered huge losses as a result of the wrong "decision" I made. I guess Reagan must have thought that I had become a senior position in this IBB because of my relationship with Yang Wei. He must have thought of me as a stupid, incompetent and self-righteous guy.

"Please tune in to the financial channel." I stuffed the waiter with a ten-euro bill. The waiter immediately ran over with a smile on his face, and the picture of a football game playing on the phone was immediately replaced by the speech of a middle-aged man dressed in serious clothes.

Regan's eyes were immediately drawn to the news on television. Media interviews with Chen Yuan were being broadcast on TV. In front of countless microphones, Chen Yuan announced meaningfully: Henkel's anti-takeover action has been successful! He announced that Yuanda had thwarted IBB's hostile takeover and attack, and now owned more than half of Henkel's shares. And expressed regret to Mr. Wang Ting through the media. And hopefully it will not affect the future development and friendship of the two companies - of course, these hypocritical gestures are all plural.

"How is that possible?" Regan was so excited that he knocked over the wine glass in front of him.

"Calm down, Mr. Regan." I glanced at him and said to him lightly.

"That's not right!" Regan looked thoughtful, then exclaimed, "He hasn't made it yet!" He can't have more than half of the shares, he only owns 45% of the shares now! Now we at IBB headquarters have acquired more than 15% of the minority shareholders' shares, plus the 20% we used to own, we now have 35%! We are only 10% less than him! As long as we beat him in the stock market, then we can force more minority shareholders to transfer their shares to us...... Chen Yuan can't compete with me for the shares in the hands of these small shareholders...... He doesn't have enough cash, he can't have the money to buy shares from those small shareholders! ............ "Regan was still calculating, desperately trying to find a plausible explanation to comfort himself.

"It's useless." I shook my head: "Okay, Regan, even if Chen Yuan's speech on TV is a bluff, the premise of what you say must be based on our defeat of Chen Yuan in the stock market!" The question is, did we beat him in the stock market? ”

"Nope." Regan sighed, but then he added, "But we still have the funds!" We just need to survive tomorrow, and then we have chips to play with him when our funds are reversed! We haven't failed yet, we still have a chance!! ”

I looked at this poor Frenchman, and I suddenly felt that he was a true loyal servant for the sake of the IBB. And I'm just an insider thief - so is Yang Wei.

"Regan, let me tell you a story."

"What?" Regan stared at me with blue eyes.

I smiled slightly, ignored his surprised gaze, and began to speak my words.

"Two thousand years ago in ancient China, there was a period of the Three Kingdoms, and many stories have been handed down from that period. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, we had three emperors in China, each of whom ruled a piece of land, and there were often wars between them, and they all wanted to annex other people's lands. ”

"One of these countries had an emperor whose name was Liu Chan. In order to fight the enemy, he asked his general, a man named Jiang Wei, to be sent to the front line with a large army. Fighting on the front line was fierce, with losses on both sides. Although Jiang Wei's troops were at a disadvantage, they still seemed relatively safe. In the words you just said, 'They haven't failed, they still have a chance'! ”

At this time, the opponent secretly sent a troop and secretly followed the path, not confronting Jiang Wei head-on, but directly attacking the capital of the country. As a result, Emperor Liu Chan had no choice but to surrender, and the country was annexed by another country. For that hostile country, they solved a very difficult big puzzle with great success. ”

"What do you mean......"

I smiled: "Now, our Chairman Wang in New York is the emperor, and we who are currently in Germany are just like the general Jiang Wei who led the troops to fight on the front line as I said!" We are here in front of Chen Yuan in the stock market to fight, in fact, we are not the main battlefield here at all, the real battlefield, in New York! ”

"What?" Regan exclaimed, and then quickly closed his mouth subconsciously.

Looking at this guy with a surprised expression, I knew he couldn't understand my words yet.

In his opinion, a business war is a business war, how can he believe that something will happen there in New York.

"Could it be? Will Chen Yuan go directly to New York with a large amount of money to buy IBB? He asked with difficulty.

I immediately laughed: "Of course not!" ”

I know this Westerner can't pay attention to what I mean. Speaking of strategy and stratagem, these blue-eyed and big-nosed guys in the West, where are we Chinese? In the eyes of these Westerners, a shopping mall is a shopping mall, and we Chinese know how to apply the political system to the shopping mall...... And even more places. To put it mildly, which nation in this world is better at hooking than us Chinese?

I continued to guide him: "Look, what is the purpose of IBB's acquisition of Henkel? ”

"Of course, it's to own Henkel and then buy it and make a profit from it." Regan replied very quickly, with an expression on his face as if he was memorizing a textbook.

"So do you think IBB has a good plan to buy Henkel for so much money?"

Regan thought for a moment, then sighed, "To be honest, I think this plan is good, but it's too risky. In fact, we already own 20%, and our previous loan to Chen Yuan has been recovered, and we have made a considerable profit. I think it's still ...... Well...... It's better to be on the safe side. ”

I smiled, "That makes sense, on the board, Mr. Orlando shares your views...... There are still many directors who think the same way, and many people do not agree with this plan. So, when it came time to decide whether or not to implement the plan, the board of directors debated for a long time. It can be seen that not everyone believes that this plan should be implemented. Not everyone agrees with this plan. ”

Regan looked at me as if he were looking at a monster, "But, Chen, aren't you insisting on supporting this plan?" ”

"Huh." I smiled: "We're not talking about my problems right now. So I ask you, why did so many people oppose this plan, but the board still decided to implement it in the end? ”

Regan finally got some enlightenment: "It was Chairman Wang's decision, because he has the most power on the board." ”

"That's right!" I smiled and continued: "It's all said that IBB wants to buy Henkel - in fact, this sentence should be changed, and the correct way to say it is: Chairman Wang wants to buy Henkel!" In other words, the acquisition of Henkel is the will of Chairman Wang, not the will of the entire IBB Board of Directors! ”

I glanced at Regan's surprised expression, and continued with a smile: "So, think about it, Chen Yuan and we are fighting to the death here, and everyone throws tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds into the stock market...... It's stupid to do that. ”

Regan had a big mouth and couldn't say a word.

I continued coldly: "So, Chen Yuan doesn't need to fight with us in Germany at all, he just needs to find a way to directly defeat Chairman Wang!" Chairman Wang fell, and no one insisted on buying Henkel anymore. ”

"But...... How can Chen Yuan do that? ”

I burst out laughing.

I looked at Reagan and suddenly said in a strange tone, "In this regard, the Americans are the smartest!" ”

"Americans?"

"Yes." I nodded: "Do you think that the president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the United States were hostile to each other back then, what should the Americans do?" Is it really to send troops to destroy the country of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia? Erased from the face of the earth? Of course not! He just needs to bring down this president who is against them. And then replace it with an obedient president who does not oppose the United States! And then, everything is calm! I shrugged my shoulders and smiled faintly.

"I see! It's like the United States is fighting Iraq, because Saddam Hussein is against the United States! Therefore, although the United States sent troops to fight Iraq, their slogan was not against the country and the Iraqi people, but against Saddam! Defeat Saddam Hussein and replace it with someone who listens to the United States to run Iraq! Regan followed my instructions and immediately deduced a point of his own.

"You're smart!" I smiled.

"However, how did Chen Yuan defeat Chairman Wang? What can he do to oust Chairman Wang from power? He can't spend a lot of money to buy off the shareholders on the board, right? It's impossible. ”

"It's very simple, as long as our large army on the front line fails, so that the company suffers huge losses, and Wang Ting, as the chief decision-maker of this plan, was his will at the beginning, it was he who had to implement this plan, and now it has failed, and if it is lost, he must receive opposition and reprimands from the board of directors, and those directors will be angry because of the losses, and then they will unite to be able to oust Wang Ting!"

Regan was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Defeat at the front...... But we haven't failed yet! Chen Yuan may not dare to invest all the money tomorrow, because his funds are not sufficient. Did he calculate that we would not have the ability to fight back tomorrow, and would he dare to risk all the chips at once? ”

I didn't answer his question, and suddenly asked, "Regan, how long have you been at the IBB?" ”

Regan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Three years." ”

"Three years ......" I read silently, thinking in my heart. This time is not short, in this part of the United States, changing jobs is as simple as eating, and those who have the ability to change bosses are as diligent as changing clothes.

"If, I mean if." I looked at him and said slowly: "If this plan fails, then several of you will be punished by the company for this failure, and the company will let you resign, are you willing to follow me?" ”

"What?" Regan's mind was almost spinning.

I watched him smile - God, I could feel how vile my smile was!

"Regan," I said with a smile, "I can tell you that tomorrow, Chen Yuan will definitely invest all the money." Because he knows our current predicament. He should be able to guess. So our plan is a failure. ”

"Why?" Unexpectedly, Regan didn't make any more fuss, he lowered his voice and said to me, "How do you know?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders, pretended to be nonchalant, took a small sip, and laughed, "I can't tell you why." But don't forget, I jumped from Yuanda to IBB, I know Chen Yuan too well, and he will definitely do it. ”

Regan's face was flushed, obviously very excited in his heart, but he still suppressed himself: "So, after failure, the royal court will step down?" So who's going to be the next president, well, no, I mean chairman. ”

I smiled: "The main war faction has collapsed, and it must be the opposition before the war who has come to power...... You see, who is the most opposed to this plan on the board of directors at the moment, and who has the most shares? ”

Regan immediately didn't think about it and said, "It's Miss Yang Wei." After saying this, he suddenly came to his senses and screamed: "Oh my God! I understand! ”

He stood up, pointed at me and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, this is your conspiracy!" Yang Wei is your wife! You are a premeditated and deliberate failure, and then you can bring your wife to power! ”

Regan glared at me angrily, he was indeed a good employee loyal to the company, and he said fiercely: "You have hurt the interests of the company like this!" ”

I shrugged my shoulders indifferently: "Corporate interests? Whose company? ”

"Our own company, of course!" Regan looked at me angrily.

I laughed: "Your own company? Our company? You forget, IBB is not my company, I am a newcomer at IBB, so I don't have any feelings for IBB! And strictly speaking, I can't be considered an IBB person. ”

Regan was immediately speechless, he blushed and thought about it, and then said, "What about Yang Wei!" She's a director of IBB! ”

I smiled coldly and looked directly at Regan without fear: "So what does it matter?" Is IBB a company of Yang Wei? No! You're wrong! IBB is the company of the royal court! And now our approach is to make IBB from 'Wang Ting's company' to 'Yang Wei's company'! ”

Regan snorted, "I'm not talking to you about these word games!" I, I'm going to report this to HQ right away! ”

I looked at the impulsive Frenchman, raised an index finger, and shook it gently: "It's late." Now the front has failed. The position of the royal court can no longer be kept. ”

"No, although we failed, we didn't really lose much money in the past two days!" Regan quickly calculated, "Although our plan failed, we only lost less than sixty million. Although this loss is very heavy, it is still affordable for IBB! With a loss of 60 million, it is impossible to shake Chairman Wang's position at all! The more Regan spoke, the more confident he became.

I smiled, pointed to my seat, and said softly, "Sit down, sit down and I'll tell you slowly." Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Regan. ”

Regan hesitated, but sat down slowly.

I pursed my lips and smiled, then calmly said, "Your calculations are not wrong. Frankly, I admire you very much. You are principled in what you do, and you have a bigger picture view. If what I said just now were Byron, I am afraid that I would be intimidated, but you can still calmly analyze and then find out some problems in the overall situation. That's what I appreciate so much. ”

"Hmph." Regan snorted coldly, which was kind of an answer to me.

"It's a pity." I deliberately shook my head: "This is a bureau, and we are the ones who lay it out, so we are standing outside the bureau and watching others walk into this bureau." And you're unfortunate enough to be in this game. We Chinese have a saying that 'the authorities are confused'. You're smart, but there's something more crucial that you can't see. ”

"Where?" Looking at my confident appearance, Regan really felt a little weak.

I said slowly: "Didn't I just say that we are here, although it seems to be the front line, we are not the main battlefield. Our direct loss here, to put it bluntly, is actually not a big deal, but don't you want to think about it, we are the key here. We have failed here, but it has led to a lot of chain reactions, and the losses caused by these chain reactions are very objective. ”

Regan listened very carefully to what I said, and sure enough, he turned his head sideways and began to think.

I looked at him with a smile and I trusted his intellect that he should be able to figure out the crux of the problem. After all, he is only deceived because the authorities are obsessed, and as long as he is instructed by me, then he should be able to think of the answer himself without me making it clear - if he can't think of it, then I won't spend so much time talking to him about it. To be honest, I fancy this talent, so I'm going to pull him with me. Whether it's Chen Yuan or Yang Wei, I'm a person, I'm a bare-bones commander! No matter how capable a person is, he can't make the climate! I must have my own team of Chen Yang to get rid of the fate of chess pieces in the future!!

Regan thought for a few minutes, his face turned white, and I knew he had the crux of the matter.

Regan's face was like ashes, and he said in a low voice: "I understand, in fact, the stock market is just a trap, and you are through this trap to let the royal court throw more money into it." ”

I smiled and motioned for him to continue.

Regan sorted out his thoughts and continued: "According to the plan, if the price of the stock market fluctuates, some small shareholders will sell their shares in panic, and at this time, IBB will come forward to buy their shares. Subsequently, buy enough shares to exceed Chen Yuan's shares, so that you can control Henkel! ”

"However, the problem is that the shares purchased by IBB can only play a role if they defeat Chen Yuan. If you can't control Henkel, it doesn't make a difference whether you have 20% or 40% for IBB. Because Chen Yuan controlled more shares, he had control of Henkel. ”

"Now, because of our early plan to make a mouse, some minority shareholders have been deceived by our false appearance, they have sold all their shares to IBB, damn it, we still buy it at a price of more than 3% of the market value! Now the news from the headquarters is that 15% of the purchase has been made! This 15% is estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars at the headquarters! But now our acquisition has actually failed, that is to say, the hundreds of millions spent on these 15% purchases have been thrown into the water!! ”

"The reason why the headquarters bought these shares from the minority shareholders was because they 'thought' that we would beat Chen Yuan in the stock market. But now we've failed, and those bought shares, in fact, ...... In fact, it was all wasted. ”

I smiled: "Don't say it so terrible, after all, Henkel's shares are not waste paper, they just occupy some of IBB's funds, and in the future, these Henkel shares will bring benefits to IBB." ”

"Humph!" Regan sneered: "Interests??" Don't forget, IBB is a venture capital firm! Our business strategy is investment, short-term investment! Look for an opportunity to make a move, then make a profit in a very short period of time, then quickly withdraw your money before looking for the next target! But now?? We invested so many billions of dollars in Henkel! We can't sell these shares right away in the short term, because no one is going to buy that many shares at once. We can only wait for Henkel to get a little profit after making a profit every year. Our hundreds of millions of funds are firmly welded to Henkel!! It may take us a few years, or even more, to get these hundreds of millions back!! ”

I smiled: "It's not so scary, if IBB doesn't want to, they can sell these shares again!" ”

Regan smiled wryly: "Who will buy it??" First of all, now that Henkel's development momentum is uncertain, there are so many good opportunities in the world to invest, who would rush to invest money in Henkel shares? If it were me, I'd rather buy a company that is in a good situation, so it's safer! ”

"Not bad."

"Also, that's not a small number, 35%!! Hundreds of millions!! What's even more ridiculous is that even if you have this 35%, you still can't become the actual controller of Henkel! When others invest in buying a company, the premise must be that after buying the company, they will make their own decisions and become their own boss, but these 35% can't do this, who will be stupid to buy it? ”

I looked at Regan kindly.

Regan let out a long sigh: "It's too ruthless, it's too ruthless, you guys are equivalent to eating hundreds of millions of IBB's funds at once." It's like depositing all the hundreds of millions of funds of IBB into this bank, and the funny thing is that the money in this bank can't be withdrawn after depositing it, and can only receive some interest every year...... Look, the money is yours, but you can't use it! ”

Regan looked at me, and I knew that his faith had completely collapsed.

I poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile, "In that case, you believe me?" ”

Regan nodded, and suddenly looked up at me: "Chen, you are looking for me today just to convince me to be loyal like Yang Wei?" I don't understand, I'm just an IBB employee, and when Yang Wei becomes the chairman, I will naturally be her employee. You don't have to talk to me about that. ”

I didn't answer him directly, but picked up my glass and touched it lightly.

Regan hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up his glass and gestured to me, then took a sip.

I still said nonchalantly, "I'm not trying to convince you to work with me. To put it mildly, in this matter, you are just a pawn, and I don't need your help for these high-level changes, and you can't help me. ”

Regan smiled bitterly: "Although this is not good, it is indeed the truth. ”

"So......" I stared into his eyes and said slowly, "I'm telling you this in the hope of winning you over." ”

"Woo me?"

"Yes." I replied simply, "You're a talent, Mr. Regan." I hope you can be my subordinate, um......" I hesitated, but still said: "My Chen Yang's subordinate is not Chairman Yang Wei's subordinate, but my subordinate." If you think I'm trustworthy, I hope you can follow me in the future if you have the chance. I'm confident that I will be able to develop your talents even more – and of course, the rewards will increase! ”

"It's not Chairman Yang's subordinates, but ...... But your subordinates? Regan stared at me for a long time, and then he finally understood.

He suddenly couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "God, you Chinese, it's really ...... It's horrible! ”
