Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Regarding Lance Marshall’s sudden board meeting, I don’t know why. But such a big thing just happened at the Paris Air Show in France, and shareholders also want to know what is going on. Lance Marshall must have obtained some evidence that it was Sibulon's ability or attitude problems that caused the loss of major customers at the Paris Air Show and allowed the Soviets to take advantage.

No one is interested in the fight between the Marshall and Zebulon families. But when it comes to the company's core interests, it cannot be ignored.

As the founding shareholder of the company and also the largest shareholder, Lance Marshall is certainly qualified to call the directors for a meeting. It's just that this kid is usually very low-key. Although he feels a bit ambitious, he doesn't have a strong confrontation with the Zebulon family. The directors of the company all believed that there would be something good to watch.

Lance Marshall was inevitably a little nervous. Ever since his father was kicked out of the board of directors, the Marshall family only held the title of shareholder and had no rights at all. It was only in his generation that he returned to the board of directors, but he was just an ordinary director. , without any rights. Now there is finally a chance to avenge the past and get back everything the Marshall family has lost. But deep down, he was worried. As for the specific reason, he himself didn't know what was going on.

At this time, the Zebulon family, old Zebulon, was talking on the phone with his son who was far away in Paris. His subordinates have already reported what his son did in Paris. As a Jew, there is no problem in itself. Even going too far is understandable. But as a major shareholder of Raytheon Company and a corporate executive, this should not be done, and the board of directors will definitely have strong opinions.

Therefore, to understand the specific situation, at least we must understand what his son said; what made the Arabs so determined to purchase weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. Iraq may not matter, but no one wants to lose a big customer like Saudi Arabia, which has stupid people and lots of money.

Seeing that his father was so formal, little Zebulun did not hide anything; he reported the incident to his father in detail. He also promised that he had nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. When his son said this, were there any details that had not been revealed? Of course old Zebulon would be suspicious at this time!

The time for Lance Marshall to convene the board of directors is coming, let’s see what this kid has to say first. Maybe he knew some inside story, but it didn't matter; if his grandfather was alive, he would still have some deterrence. Even his father is no match for him, so he really doesn't take this guy seriously.

The Marshall family, as a founding shareholder, is also the largest shareholder. The reason why he has no say in the company is entirely because of old Zebulon's mischief. The old boy united with several Jewish businessmen; he laid a trap for the Marshall family; Lance Marshall's father got in directly. It was at that time that company directors began to distrust the Marshall family. As a result, Marshall Sr. was forced to resign, and the Marshall family was reduced to an ordinary shareholder.

Arriving at the conference room of the company's headquarters, Lao Xibulun directly assumed the position of chairman. Although it looked uncomfortable, Lance Marshall could only endure it at this time. Now that he is still the chairman of the company, there is nothing wrong with him sitting in the main seat.

Old Zebulon said very domineeringly: "Although Raytheon Company was snatched away some orders by the Soviets, it did not affect the company's performance growth; that is to say, the dividends of the directors will definitely not be less. I don't know why Mr. Marshall convened It’s a waste of time for everyone to come to the meeting.”

When it comes to gaining the support of directors, you must not be stingy when it comes to money. We were in the midst of the Cold War at this time, and Raytheon was already well fed by the U.S.’s internal arms purchases alone. If you can get orders from other countries, you will definitely make more money. Therefore, shareholder income is still very considerable.

When shareholders heard that they were getting money, their support for Zebulon immediately increased. We started to discuss it below, after all, what they said did make sense.

Moreover, part of the order was snatched away by the Soviets and his son took the responsibility. At least there was absolutely nothing to say about it.

The situation must be reversed now, otherwise even if the evidence is presented and everyone acquiesces in their hearts, it will be difficult to turn the tables.

Lance Marshall: "Dear directors, the reason why we convened the board of directors today is because I learned that someone is deliberately harming the interests of the company, and this person is also a corporate executive. In other words, he uses the interests of shareholders to achieve some of his own purposes. .”

"Perhaps you think I have wronged people, but I have obtained conclusive evidence. And it is not just me, the White House and the Department of Defense are now aware of this matter. As for why the White House and the Department of Defense take it so seriously, it is because it has already involved the national strategic issues of the United States. .”

Because of Heiyun Group, many companies now have projectors in their conference rooms. As a high-tech military enterprise, Raytheon Company certainly has all the modern equipment.

A clear picture came quickly. At this time, the directors of Raytheon Company, including Zebulon, all looked at it seriously.

After all, being able to produce video evidence shows that this kid was well prepared.

The company directors were still very proud when they saw a young man wearing Arab clothing asking Zebulon to agree to sell Standard series missiles. It shows that the company's products have advanced performance, otherwise Arabs will not buy it at all.

The other party's offer made the directors uneasy; they could even use oil and minerals in exchange, which made everyone overjoyed. But unexpectedly, Zebulun refused directly and began to ridicule and ridicule others.

Even if you are not familiar with him, you can tell from the tone of conversation and the analysis of his attire that he is a high-level national official. Even if you don't sell weapons and equipment to others, you can't do this. After all, Raytheon will have to go to the Middle East to do business in the future. The current situation is not causing hatred!

Zebron said with a smile: "What do I think it is! Why Raytheon refused to purchase missiles from Iraq is entirely because Congress and the military did not agree. After all, there are many Soviet military experts in Iraq. If sold to the other party's standard series of missiles; but it is easy for polar bears to grasp the performance and technical parameters of Raytheon’s missiles.”

"This is not a question of more money and less money. If we are sanctioned by the military for selling weapons to Iraq, then the final loss will be in the interests of all shareholders."

Old Zebulon had already thought of a countermeasure, otherwise he would not have been able to come to the meeting with peace of mind. At this time, the directors still felt that it was reasonable. After all, they could not lose the big for the small. Although the approach is somewhat inappropriate, there is nothing wrong with refusing.

Lance Marshall: "You may not know that the young man in the picture is the second most powerful person in Iraq, the son of the president, and can be said to be the heir. Of course, it is not impossible for Iraqis to be sarcastic, but is it necessary to incite hatred?"

"And customers sincerely purchase Raytheon's weapons and equipment unless they never cooperate with Iraq in the future. But the world is such a big place, and Iraq is a major arms purchasing country. Do you really have no idea at all?"

"The other one is Prince Sultan of Saud, the third most powerful person in the country. Now that he is being ridiculed by Zebulon, how will the Saudi royal family feel?"

"You should now know why Saudi Arabia and Iraq purchased so much weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. It was because of Raytheon; because we not only refused the other party's purchase, but also made fun of them."

"If it is not handled well at this time, it will be difficult for Raytheon to enter the Middle East market in the future."

"And the second son of Iraq has made it very clear that Mr. Zebulun did this because his heart belongs to Israel."

"In his mind, the first thing he considers is the interests of Israel; for this, it doesn't matter even if it harms the interests of Raytheon."

"As a Jew, what he did was not wrong. However, the generosity of others should not be used to harm the interests of the directors. I want to know what else Mr. Zebulon has to say, and hope to give an explanation to the directors."

Old Zebulon knew Prince Sultan, and when he saw his son's behavior, he immediately knew that something was wrong, but for now he could only stand firm. Although the Jewish board of directors is facing him, they also know that certain concessions must be made; otherwise, the Marshall family will definitely not give up.

Old Zebulon: "Whether it is as chairman of the company or as a father; I have been extremely derelict in my duties. Therefore, I request that I resign as chairman of the company and be replaced by Mr. Lance Marshall."

"Middle East customers, especially Saudi Arabia, must be well appeased. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Marshall can inherit the will of his ancestors and overcome many difficulties so that Raytheon's products can reappear in the armies of Arab countries."

This is a very clever move, because Old Zebulon also knows that the position of chairman will definitely not be preserved. Rather than voting for removal, it is better to resign. And the people in the Middle East would never let it go like this and let Lance Marshall clean up the mess first.
