Chapter 260: Hidden in the Depths
Theon and the others finished laughing.
Looking at the board members on the other side, whose faces were flushed, he said leisurely: "Mr. Richard, it seems that the workers of your company are on strike and demonstrating?" ”
"I think I can help your company with this."
Richard raised his eyebrows and shrugged slightly, a little absent-minded.
The terms of the exchange were not up to him, he was just a professional manager and did not hold any shares in the company.
As for whether the workers are willing to return to work, he doesn't care.
He is now only worried about whether the company's board of directors really knows that he has betrayed the company's confidential information.
If they knew, what would they do with themselves.
The angry expression on Thomas's face flashed away, and then he said calmly: "Mr. Theon, can we understand that this strike was deliberately provoked by you?" ”
Theon's face changed.
The strike outside the factory was not the result of their hands, and for a small Northern California solar company, they disdained to use such low-level methods.
But the chairman of the other party dared to directly put his hat on their heads during the talks, which made him very angry.
When did the representative of his dignified Rockefeller consortium be so undignified that he could be threatened by a small local energy company?
If it weren't for the long-term experience and good cultivation, he would have wanted to leave on the spot!
Theon suppressed the anger in his heart, and stiffly took out a stack of checkbooks from his suit pocket, signed his name, and tore off a check.
Gently pushed to the middle of the conference table.
"If your company wants to continue to develop the solar power market, we will also support it."
"It's $100 million, we need the company that provides solar panels, and we can work together in the future!"
The tone of his voice was no longer polite.
But there was no need for him to deceive Thomas, because there was no need for that.
While the consortia are making a lot of money in the oil industry, they are also developing new energy sources all the time.
Solar energy is naturally one of them.
This solar panel of the Northern California Solar Energy Company, to be honest, they didn't look at it because the investment was too big.
But the company that made the solar panels clearly has the secret to large-scale commercial production, and that's what they care about.
With this technology, they will also produce on a small scale and then gradually expand the range of solar applications.
When the oil industry finally squeezes its profits, they will immediately switch tracks and continue to dominate solar energy and gain a monopoly.
Northern California Solar Energy can be their little brother and pick up some leftovers from their mouths.
As long as you don't go against them, you can get a better position than other companies.
But if you can't recognize the situation, then don't blame the consortia for turning their faces and denying people.
In fact, when the consortium received the news for the first time, it looked for the company that supplied solar cells through various channels.
But looking around, I didn't find who the other party was.
As a last resort, I put down the shelves and negotiated with the Northern California Solar Energy Company.
Otherwise, what are their benefits?
However, it is really strange that on this planet, there are even consortiums that have joined forces, and they can't find the source of commodity supply.
In this way, the company that provides solar chips may not be simple.
But now, several major consortia across the U.S. have joined forces to track down.
I believe that no matter how strong that company is, it will not be able to resist the pressure from all sides, and in the end it can only surrender obediently.
At this point, I have seen countless powerful opponents, and Theon, who has fallen at the feet of the consortium, is very sure in his heart.
Just find them!
Chairman Thomas didn't look at the check, and with a flick of his finger on the table, the check bounced back in front of Theon: "You either join or you sit by." ”
"In short, I won't tell you the information about the supplier."
Theon stood up suddenly, accustomed to his condescendingness, and a little unable to adapt to the arrogant attitude of the other party.
His heart fluctuated violently, but then the wrinkles on his forehead unfolded again: "Very good, if this is your attitude, then I understand." ”
"I'm sure we'll meet again, and soon!"
He sneered and walked out of the conference room with the others, without saying a word to the executives of Northern California Solar Energy.
Richard was almost stupefied, he never expected that the board of directors would refuse the consortium's request so strongly.
These are the most powerful conglomerates in the United States!
In America, they are the heavens, the laws, and the rulers!
Offending him means you're finished!
He was about to break down, and he slumped in his chair, unable to breathe for a long time.
Oh, God! This company is hopeless!
And I'm going to be finished too!
Mr. Thomas, the chairman of the board of directors, looked at him with a strange look and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Mr. Richard, the board of directors invited you to come, not to make you in a daze. ”
"Since the bank is not willing to give so much financing, then we will go it alone, you go to Nevada, and say that we are going to buy 20 square kilometers of desert in the Nevada desert as an experimental factory."
"As long as the power plant is running, I believe there are enough reasons to convince others to join."
"Even if all the American banks and consortia reject it, we can still convince investors in Europe and Asia!"
Richard looked at Thomas with an idiot's look.
You have offended all the American conglomerates to death, and you still want to continue to work?
And what about the Eurasian consortiums?
All it takes is the United States to protect domestic energy and kick you out completely.
Isn't the one who stands on the lawn and speaks the spokesperson of the consortium?
But now, he doesn't know what to do.
Why don't those consortia care about solar, the huge market?
It's really strange, don't those news media like to preach that the future is the world of solar energy?
I also came to the door to ask for credit, and depicted a beautiful long-term plan to them.
But why don't they understand?
Richard accepted the assignment from the board of directors with the courage to do so, even though he was not even the slightest sure that the plan would succeed.
It's just that.
The same capitalists, businessmen.
Because of the difference in the height at which he stood, how could Richard understand the thoughts of the big conglomerates.
This is not a small person for him to speculate.
Richard didn't want to be finished with the company, he still had a good life, and he didn't want to be an unemployed street man so early.
Although the consortium abandoned him as an informer, even if they were afraid in their hearts, they thought differently about an insignificant pawn like him.
After the other party uses it, it is just discarded like toilet paper.
Doesn't care at all.
But at the same time, he did not dare to follow the intention of the board of directors to oppose the consortium to the end.
Because in the United States, it is better to offend the president than to offend the corporation!
Maybe betraying the company again will not get the benefits of your dreams, but at least you will not be liquidated by the consortium in the end.
Richard, who couldn't sleep, thought about it and finally made up his mind.
Just after five o'clock in the morning.
Taking advantage of the darkest night before dawn, he drove to the hotel where the representatives of the major consortia were temporarily staying, and asked to see Theon.
