“ That's it. What do you think? But we don't have much time left. ”

In the spacious and bright room of the Vivandi Group, CEO Leonard asked Renault to repeat Andy Smith's conversation, and the faces of all the board members present varied.

“Is he threatening?” A scrupulous old man with thin silver hair combed his eyebrows frowned coldly and asked.

“It's not a threat, but whether we agree to the deal or not, he will use this opportunity to fight General Electric, and if we disagree, he will just take us with him.” Another director looked at each other faintly and said.

“200 million dollars is a lot of floating... ”

“If stock prices continue to fall, our losses will be even greater. ”

“We can notify General Electric and fight back together... ”

“Joke, they can't protect themselves, how to fight back, I agree to make a deal with each other, who can't afford cash now, anyway, we already want to sell those shares and stay in the hands to continue to lose? ”

“I disagree, that's $200 million, and if he really wants that 20 per cent stake, he can close the deal at the previous price of $4.4 billion. ”

The directors in the conference room, you said what I said, and you sat on the first seat and let Renault look at it calmly, and he was used to it.

Ever since Viwandi moved from a water company to a monster company now famous for acquiring the broker's family, there has been no calm on the board. The more greedy a director is fed by a successive and lucrative gain, the more greedy the person will be, and it has become commonplace to turn his face for a little gain.

“Jean, what's your opinion? ”

After all, the CEO was very good at saving Viwandi from the edge of the over-expansive disintegration. The work done over the past six years was also witnessing, and the company's prestige was great.

“Without agreeing to Andy Smith's 4.4 billion offer, we were hoping to get a bigger offer from General Electric, which is hoping to take an absolute advantage of M&A negotiations by holding 100% of NBC Worldwide to maximize our interests.

But, ladies and gentlemen, the premise of these plans is that Andy Smith intends to implement the NBC Global M&A program.

Now he tells us he's not playing, we don't get anything with General Electric, and he's ready for revenge because he's upset, and the problem is that he can do it.

What is certain is that Andy Smith does have a lot of ambition for NBC Worldwide, as can be seen from his failure to give up this 20% stake in our hands, and if we don't sell it to him, have you thought about what he would do to us if he hit General Electric and forced General Electric, which is already on the edge of the cliff, to complete the merger and acquisition?

Why did we choose to merge with NBC by separating the Universal Film Industry? Do we have to continue to come out and yell at each other every year to sell our shares and then get all kinds of unreliable quotes and carry on with this dividend of a small number of shares? ”

Let Renault have a serious look on his face, ask a few questions in a row, silence all the board members present, to be honest, this 20% of the shares are really chicken ribs for Viwandi, the benefits are not reaped. Instead, the poor profitability of NBC Worldwide every year also leads to their share price of Viwandi, absolutely pit 13.

“Andy Smith is not a good kid, he's notorious at Gaia's on London Financial Street, and you've heard more or less, do you think he'll let go of the opportunity to empty our stock?

I don't know if any of you have ever seen him, but he gave me the impression that he was young, mature, decisive, ambitious and, more importantly, capable of achieving ambition.

Who among you, including me, has the courage to eat $40 billion in gold in such a financial storm?

How much do you think we would lose if such a crazy person were to leverage our share price? ”

He became silent in the conference room and left Renault a little helpless, not to discourage himself, but to ask his own questions, which he found that he would not let go of the opportunity to cut meat on each other if it were his own.

Really? I borrowed a hand!

In the ordinary economic situation, this threat is simply a joke, but now, it is his fatal threat, panic, there will definitely be a helpless tragedy of treading, ignore the news, throw away the stock first, and then, if it runs slowly, it will be miserable... Just so irrational, irrational.

“Jean, you mean promise to close the deal with him? ”

“Yes, ladies and gentlemen, don't forget, there are some issues that have been held hostage by the United States and French regulators, and I would like to end the investigation trouble in the United States once and for all through this deal. In fact, we should have ended the tail we left in 2000! ”

Let Renault's words make the members of the board look slightly different and ugly, and each of them knows that Vivandi's blind expansion led to the loss of more than 20 billion euros being blamed nationally, the crisis investigated by the government, and that they have covered up a lot of losses that have been caught dead by United States and French regulators.

“I will meet with Andy Smith again to negotiate, gentlemen, and we can actually use this opportunity to make some repurchases... ”

Let Renault's words fall, there were some unhappy people's eyes bright, everyone present was JIAN cunning ghostly old fox, nature is a little bit clear, all the words are accompanied by peace, people's faces also have a satisfying expression.

Looking at the directors' faces made Renault feel tired for a while. It really doesn't change the integrity of these goods when they see the cheap ones. For shearing wool in the secondary market, they are the most sneaky people.

“OK, then thank you two goddesses for giving me this opportunity. I'll pick you up in a minute. I'll see you later. ”

Andy smiled, shook his head, looked at the time on the watch, picked up his phone, and called his own little secretary.

“OsteriaFrancescana Restaurant, three people, about three hours...” Andy, dressed with the help of his assistant, spoke on the phone and hung up, said to his assistant: "Eat your own lunch and go shopping when you're bored. By the way, notify the crew, get ready to take off... ”

Little assistant looked helplessly at the Great Demon King, two old women, who really didn't know why the Great Demon King was so interested.

Of course she wouldn't understand, Andy's thoughts, as a teenager, everyone had their own dream goddess. Each time they show up, they have a unique aura, accelerating heartbeats and losing their temper.

In previous life, we could only live in fantasy, far from each other. In this world, even though the face has reached its peak, each situation has undergone an overturning change, no longer unreachable, can be loved and even demanded. The bloodthirsty stimulus and conquest of YU is unquestionably irresistible to everyone.
