I Am a Nobleman in England

Ka Ka Ka Ka—”

Wearing a well-fitting black suit, Arthur walked confidently and calmly into the press conference on time, waved to the media reporters with a smile and stepped onto the rostrum, then smiled in different directions, trying to meet the photography requirements of the reporters.

The long-awaited media reporters from all walks of life picked up "long guns and short cannons" one after another, and there was a burst of "cracking".

"Hello everyone, we meet again. This time I invite you to come here. I have one thing to tell you. I, Arthur Boleyn, will be doing some research on Bristol's coast (natural gas) power station in the next period of time. Initiate the acquisition..."

Beep——

In the bright conference room, the atmosphere was dignified and depressing. Sitting at the head seat, the chairman of Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power station waved someone to turn off the TV that was recovering images. Looking around for a week with superfluous expressions, he said indifferently: "Tell me, what do you think, why did the good negotiations suddenly end?

From the initial requirement of 50% of the equity to the current hostile takeover, which link has the problem? This morning, my phone was almost ringing off the hook. All shareholders called to inquire about the situation. Of course, they were more concerned about the price offered by this Mr. Arthur Boleyn! "

Among the people sitting at the conference table, some bowed their heads not knowing what they were thinking, and some looked at each other in blank dismay. The main person in charge of the power plant who had made things difficult for the other party during the negotiation was a little guilty and silent with regret.

The management immediately learned that when the original investor suddenly changed into a barbarian standing outside the door, they knew that their little thought was completely bankrupt. Now, not only could they not prevent the other party from acquiring It also completely endangered their jobs.

"Chairman, these issues don't seem to be important now. What we have to do is how to meet the new negotiating conditions of the other party. Sometimes, the barbarians at the door may not be the enemy!"

One of the female executives of the power plant suddenly broke the silence and spoke meaningfully.

As a result, everyone present focused their attention on her. Under the gazes of all kinds of eyes, the executive was very calm, and he did not shy away from looking at the CEO who had been preventing the power plant from being acquired. .

"What do you mean?" The CEO of the power plant asked with a gloomy face, frowning, staring at the female executive with a dark look.

"Hehe, I don't mean anything. For the company's shareholders,

A “hostile bidder” who prioritizes return on capital may be a friend. Although this will threaten the interests of incumbent executives, it is a good thing for everyone if reforms can be passed to maximize the company's potential. "The female executive seemed not to be afraid of the CEO's targeting and questioning at all, with a half-smile on her face, she looked at the CEO and said calmly.

"Chairman, the "barbarians" certainly have a ruthless side, but the appearance of the barbarians is essentially a sign of the maturity of the capital market. At the same time, it is also an external driving force to remind the targeted companies to seek innovation and change.

Whether to gradually lose competitiveness in the process of boiling frogs in warm water, or to seek mutations in the shocks brought about by external shocks, this will be the "wake-up call" hanging over our enterprises in the future, and it is even more important for "not doing well" and sticking to the old ways A "death knell" for patterns. "

Wow——

Facing the executive vice president who suddenly burst out for unknown reasons today, everyone in the conference room was a little shocked by her sharp words. Her words undoubtedly pointed the finger at the current management. With different expressions, they were in an uproar.

"Quiet!"

The chairman sitting on the first seat said with a serious expression to silence the whispers, and the chairman looked at the CEO with a more gloomy face and the executive woman who kept smiling calmly with meaningful eyes. vice president.

Ordinarily, as the chairman, he should be the most opposed to the acquisition of the power plant. After all, his position will definitely be threatened. However, he is an official, representing the official 50% of the shares, and the mascot chosen. He basically doesn't care, especially with a strong CEO.

Therefore, for him, the chairman, it doesn't matter whether he sells the 50% of the shares or is fully acquired this time. On the contrary, he is more concerned about how much the power plant can sell. After all, He also has a part of the shares in his own hands.

"Corina, you support the acquisition of the power plant, right?"

"Yes, chairman, I have also participated in the previous negotiations. I am very optimistic about the reform and future planning of the power plant proposed by the acquirer. Moreover, the third phase of the project has been put on hold due to lack of funds. It has greatly affected our momentum of development and growth, and I think that the new capital will bring new changes to our power plant." Corinna, the executive vice president of the power plant, expressed her position without hesitation.

"Hehe, I'm afraid not necessarily!" At this time, the CEO who had been sullenly said with a sneer on his face, "Everyone here, do you really know this Arthur Boleyn?

Indeed, recently he has occupied a lot of media space. What is the youngest billionaire, who is buying clubs and scandals, is an absolute hot topic, but, as far as I know, his worth as a billionaire is too low It is very large, which means that he simply cannot spend three or four billion pounds to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of the power plant.

This is undoubtedly a leveraged buyout full of greed, deceit, and selfishness. Standard savages, Wall Street-style players, they never consider the life and death of the company, the interests of shareholders and employees, or the future development of the company. They only care about their own interests and only pursue rapid value-added.

What they are best at is not following the rules of the game because of greed, cheating because of greed, and even compromising because of greed. I can’t think of a 21-year-old person with no management experience and no contact with the energy industry who can lead Bristol’s Coastal (natural gas) power stations are going to glory! "

It has to be said that the CEO's words were very sharp, and what he said made many people in the conference room nod solemnly in agreement. Of course, more people chose to remain silent.

"Corina, I know that you met with the head of the other party's negotiation team in private. I don't know what promise the other party gave you, but what I want to tell you is that things will definitely not be as perfect as you imagined. They They will transfer all the debts to the power plant, just like leeches, they will cling to the power plant and continue to draw blood to strengthen themselves, and the management and employees of the power plant will become the biggest victims!"

"Hehe, Mr. Max, this is a bit alarmist!" Corinna did not deny or explain at all whether she had a private meeting with Angela, but said to CEO Max with a tit-for-tat sneer.

"I don't think anyone will care about the source of funds for the acquirer. Whether it is a bank loan or margin financing, is it important to shareholders?

Faced with such a large-scale wholly-owned acquisition, can the shareholders refuse? Everyone here, who can prevent shareholders from selling their shares? Everyone, it should be very clear how urgent our largest shareholder, the government, is for the sale of the 50% of the shares.

Unless someone here can now come up with 200 million pounds to buy it, or a third party can be recruited with a phone call, and the price is higher than that of Mr. Arthur Bolling. . . Who can do it? ! "

It can be said that Corinna completely rolled up her sleeves and went to fight in person. This is her strongest time in a long time. This made everyone in the conference room speechless, and at the same time, she had a new understanding of this woman , this TM is also a ruthless character!

"That's right, I met and chatted with Ms. Angela, the team leader of the other party. The other party also hopes to win my support. Of course, you can rest assured that as the executive vice president of the power plant, I will never throw Abandon professional ethics and do things that sell the interests of power plants.

The other party's promise to me is that there will be no large-scale layoffs, and most of the current management will continue to be employed, and the inspection period will be one year!

As for the transfer of debts, hehe, Mr. Max, after all these years, you have led a lot of loans from the bank, right? "

"You—" CEO Max blushed and glared.

"Okay, stop arguing!" This is the chairman standing up abruptly, shouting to stop, looking around sharply for a week, and after pondering, he glanced at the aggrieved CEO Max, and then looked at the aggrieved CEO without stopping. He turned to Corinna and said.

"Corina, it's up to you to form a new negotiating team and negotiate with the other party..."

Hearing the chairman's words, everyone in the meeting room fell silent, and Max even looked distraught. He looked at the chairman, opened his mouth, and sat back on the seat without saying anything.

The chairman just glanced at Max indifferently, and continued to say to Corinna: "I hope you can strive for the best interests for the employees and shareholders of Bristol's coastal (natural gas) power station!"

"Please rest assured, chairman, I am still the executive vice president of the power plant, and I will be worthy of my professional ethics!" Corinna said solemnly and seriously.

"That's good, I believe you..."
