Matt Ryan sat in his office, scribbling a cigar in his mouth, quietly reading an email.

He is a director of Minnesota Minerals & Manufacturing, Inc. and a fellow of the Stuure Group.

Recently, he is helping 3M Group to coordinate and purchase latex technology.

The group has developed and produced as many as 50,000 kinds of high-quality products, and the company's business direction includes communications, transportation, industry, automobiles, aerospace, aviation, electronics, electrical, medical, construction, cultural, educational, office and daily consumption and many other fields.

But in recent years, there has been a new chief executive and a change in the company's strategy, favoring healthcare in favor of healthcare. 3M's adhesive tapes and masks are among the best in the world, and the acquisition is for the gloves business of the Sturley Group.

Although two large Fortune 500 companies are involved, Matt Ryan's special status has already seen some eyebrows.

This was supposed to be the time to step up, but George Buckley, the CEO of 3M Group, sent a private email at this time.

The email wasn't long, but Matt Ryan read it for a long time. His eyes didn't blink, as if he wanted to take every word apart, eat it, and digest it.

The content of the email was somewhat cryptic, but with Matt Ryan's knowledge of the CEO, he knew what George meant.

To enter the medical field, it is necessary to be "brought in" by some of the top scientists in the medical industry, which is a time-honored tradition and works well.

Originally, 3M Group had already locked in the candidate.

The young man who became a double foreign academician of the United States at the age of 30 and stood at the pinnacle of the medical industry is so eye-catching. Not only 3M Group, but also any medical group or preparing to enter the industry, he is a mountain that cannot be bypassed.

Even if you go around it now, there will always be a day when you will deal with him.

At such a young age, he has already stood on top of the world, and it can be said that his disciples and grandchildren will be all over the entire medical industry and industry in the next few decades. At that time, every word he said would make companies in related industries tremble.

But more than a month ago, he unexpectedly returned to China. Matt Ryan had heard some rumors, but he didn't take them very seriously.

But George Buckley's email proves the seriousness of the matter from another angle.

The 3M Group doesn't want to take a gamble, and a multinational group like this would never do anything or all-or-nothing. Every person with potential, they will have a good relationship with it. Even if you don't say good things about yourself in the future, at least you won't say bad things.

This time, however, George Barkley used vague language to assign himself to approach Wu from the perspective of the Sturley Group.

It seems that the rumors from more than a month ago are true.

That huge empire, the only empire in the history of the earth, has quickly entered its twilight years, and is planning how to retreat, so that it looks more decent. Matt Ryan was biting on his cigar and reading the mail through the smoke when this thought came to mind.

Wu's departure seems to represent the beginning of an era.

Although this matter is only known to a small number of people in a small area, it is only a small detail of this magnificent era, but it can draw a shocking conclusion from it.

Just as a hundred years ago when the vast empire of the sun never set was withdrawn from all over the world, leaving behind a ruin and a war that has not yet subsided, Matt Ryan could not have imagined the shock of the most powerful imperial strategic retreat ever made.

George, the old fox, was right.

Capital knows no borders, and a strategic retreat will inevitably lead to a loss of profitability for 3M Group. The capital behind it is inevitably unwilling to give up the world's largest industrial production base and large consumer market, and George is making preparations in advance.

The Sturley Group is a good springboard to build a good relationship with him, at least in the medical field, without having to show up with 3M.

But how do you do this kind of thing?

Matt Ryan thought about it for a long time, and then asked the assistant to connect to the video call of the executive in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Dear Yuan, I hope it didn't disturb your sleep. Matt Ryan said with a smile.

"Mr. Matt, I have carried out your arrangement and reported to you. The middle-aged man on the other side of the video said.

"You know, it's important for the company. Matt Ryan said, "I read the information you sent me the first time, but things have changed a little ......."

As Matt Ryan's voice paused, the smile on the face of the middle-aged man opposite in the video froze.

"Mr. Matt, is that true?!"

"You don't need to know, not even I want to know. Trust me, Yuan, curiosity kills cats. Matt Ryan said lightly.

"I understand, Mr. Matt. The middle-aged man replied cautiously.

"But it's also important to maintain a good relationship with Wu, but because of some things, the company can't come forward...... You'd better not come forward. It's just one investment, and it's a normal investment, just like the various investments that companies make every year around the world, and it doesn't make any difference. ”

"I ......"

"Hmm. Matt Ryan nodded, a wisp of smoke coming out of his mouth. The whole face is surrounded by smoke, looming.

"I see. The middle-aged man seemed to have a plan and quickly calmed down.

"Just follow the plan you said before, he will do whatever he needs, the loss can be bearable, that is a necessary financial expenditure, you don't have to worry, I will report to the CEO. ”

"Mr. Matt, I don't think this investment is necessary. The middle-aged man was silent for a long time before asking.

"Sometimes I want to get you in a burger and throw it at the stray dingoes in Hyde Park. Matt Ryan said dismissively, "He's already in contact with Cambridge, and the group of old antiques who specialize in technology are discussing feasibility, and I guess they'll work together in some way." ”

"......" The middle-aged man was stunned, he didn't know about it at all.

"Stare at the point, don't blink your eyes, don't miss a detail. Matt Ryan said, "If you need to, report back to me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Mr. Matt. ”

"Money is not a problem, every penny spent on him will have enough in return. Matt Ryan said with certainty, "Remember, this is just a very fortuitous investment, like Stoure's acquisition of rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, which is very ordinary and absolutely has nothing to do with him." ”

"Yes. ”

hung up the video, and Yuan Lin was silent for a long time.

Judging from Matt Ryan's words, the rumor is true, so the 3M Group cannot come forward, even the Sturley Group, which is headquartered in London.

That little guy? That's it.
