Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

As his confidant, he is also his representative in Rolls-Royce. Richard Rouse definitely doesn't want to see his subordinates messing up things, as that won't do him any good.

However, I saw that the shareholders present did not express any opinions, which means that they all recognized the pricing. At this time, Richard Rouse is also one leader and two leaders; after all, board members cannot be easily offended. However, the hope of negotiating this price with Heiyun Group will become very slim. Unlike the Rice family, the Laws family has many properties. The Black Cloud Group wants to attack them from many places.

In fact, we have to mention the backgrounds of the two families. The identity of the founders and social status are completely different.

As we all know, Rolls-Royce was created by Englishmen Charles Rolls and Henry Royce.

Charles Rouse, a mechanical engineer, was born into an aristocratic family in 1877 and was the third son of Lord Lord Langatek of England. Handsome, personable and adventurous, he was Britain's earliest car enthusiast and one of the earliest promoters of motorsport.

Routh graduated from Cambridge University and later mingled with London's upper class society, quite like a playboy. While studying at Cambridge, he bought a Peugeot sedan.

Henry Royce, a British engineer and automotive designer, famous for the production of luxury cars and aero engines, is also one of the founders of Rolls-Royce.

Rice's family was in poverty during his childhood and he worked as a paper boy and telegraph boy. In 1877, he got the opportunity to work as an apprentice in the steam locomotive engineering department of the Great Northern Railway Company. During three years, he learned a lot of basic knowledge about engineering. Later, he was employed by a machine tool company in Leeds. In 1882, he was hired as a tester by the London Electric Light and Power Company. He also actively studied in his spare time. This made him appreciated by the company and was sent to Liverpool, where he worked at the local branch. The company was promoted to chief engineer.

In 1884, Rice formed a joint venture with a friend in Manchester, F.H. Rice \u0026 Company, which was later registered as Rice Ltd. in 1894. In 1906, the car designed by Royce was appreciated by the car agent Charles Rolls. The two formed Rolls-Royce Ltd. in the same year, with Royce leading the design and production, and Rolls being responsible for marketing. The luxury cars designed by Rice are still very successful in the market.

You must know that Rouse came from a noble family and had deep friendship with the entire British upper class and nobles. Moreover, there are many industries involved, otherwise he would not take the initiative to give up his position as chairman.

Rolls-Royce is just a family property. It is not dispensable, but at least it is not that important. The Royce family is different, Rolls-Royce is everything to them; therefore, the price of the Bentley is related to the prosperity of the family.

And Ferdinand Rice doubted whether Richard Laws would deliberately ask Dawson to quote a low price. It is not impossible to get returns in other industries and businesses.

Especially now that Bao Zixuan has been promoted to the British aristocracy, there will inevitably be someone to match him.

In fact, Ferdinand Rice really has some misunderstandings about the Rolls family. After all, it is related to the core interests of the company. No matter how brave you are, you don't dare to harm the collective interests and benefit your own family. That is a serious breach of trust and does not match a noble background. When everyone knew that the Rouse family actually dared to go behind the back of the board of directors and conduct private transactions with Heiyun Group. Then whoever dares to cooperate with their family in the future will find it difficult to survive in the UK.

Some things are red lines and no one will touch them.

But we can't directly quote such a high price now. When the time comes, Bao Zixuan and the top management of Heiyun Group will definitely doubt Rolls-Royce's sincerity. The Rouse family is the largest shareholder and is most likely to be implicated.

Richard Laws: "The directors also agree, then things will be easier to handle. It is not appropriate for Dawson to negotiate alone. After all, Bao Zixuan, chairman of Heiyun Group, is also at Bentley. After all, he has just granted To be granted a life-long noble title, you must still give the face that should be given, and Rolls-Royce cannot lose etiquette."

"Just select two directors to go there together, so that the other party can also see the sincerity of Rolls-Royce."

Rolls-Royce directors have held shares in the company for many years. It can be said that there are mostly old nobles, and of course there are also second-generation masters here. It's okay to let them go pick up girls, but when it comes to negotiation, I really don't know how to start.

Even if I don’t know the depth, I still understand that this life is not good at all. Not for sightseeing, let alone to pick up girls, but to have sex with Bao Zixuan of the Heiyun Group. No one is that stupid. Shareholders can just distribute the money later, and leave the specific matters to professionals.

Richard Laws said with a smile: "Since everyone has no objections, let's ask Mr. Rice to name you. After all, he knows your abilities well and I believe he will not let the company suffer."

Ferdinand Rice knew that Richard would be up to no good when he opened his mouth. Wasn't this a clear way to offend someone? There was no one in the entire conference room who could take on the important task. Wasn't it uncomfortable to negotiate with Heiyun Group in the past?

Now I directly push this problem to him, and I can't find anything wrong with it. After all, as the chairman of the company, can it be said that he does not understand the following shareholders? That is a serious dereliction of duty, which will inevitably cause shareholders and employees to lose trust, and basically say goodbye to the position of chairman.

At this point, we are already in a dilemma, and no matter what we do, there will be no good results. Instead of doing this, it's better to let go and let Dawson do the tossing!

Ferdinand Rice said with a smile: "The company's shareholders basically do not participate in management, and they do not know much about Bentley's situation. It is better to let President Dawson go there in person, and let Vincent Bentley fully cooperate with him."

"I believe that with the two of them coming forward, even if the Heiyun Group is picky, they can't say anything. Bao Zixuan just hopes that there will be someone who can make the decision in the past. President Dawson, as the company's CEO, plus the board of directors' authorization, must be able to Success is imminent, all we have to do is wait for his good news at home."

"Directors must believe in President Dawson's ability, at least that's what I think."

It was seen that the heads of the two major families of Rolls and Royce were playing games, and the other directors did not participate. This has often happened before. If it hadn't been for such internal friction, I believe Rolls-Royce would not have declined to this point.

But the resentment is too deep and has lasted for decades; no one can change it. Unless Rolls-Royce changes ownership, or a family quits. But this can only be imagined and is not very realistic in the short term.

Joining in at this time is no different than setting yourself on fire.

Dawson: "Thank you, Chairman Rolls-Royce, for trusting me. However, Bao Zixuan personally came forward for Heiyun Group. As for Rolls-Royce, it would be a bad idea if you don't come. Otherwise, the two of us can go and express our feelings." A sense of sincerity and respect.”

There is nothing wrong with what he said. Bao Zixuan and John Chambers of Heiyun Group have already arrived. Moreover, Heiyun itself is much stronger than Rolls-Royce. As the chairman of the company, if he does not come forward, he is obviously not giving the other party face.

It was no problem in the past to close the deal at the price he set, but Ferdinand Rice had no idea at all. Just now I just wanted to embarrass Dawson, the watchdog of the Routh family. I didn't expect what I should do if my opponent's army was turned against me.

Fortunately, Ferdinand Rice has also seen some scenes and knows that the Routh family cannot be left alone. So he said with a smile: "What President Dawson said makes sense, otherwise he would have almost lost etiquette. Bao Zixuan's status is different today. He is now a lifelong noble of the British Empire."

"You cannot simply characterize the other party as an ordinary businessman. That would be blasphemy against the royal family."

"I hope I can go there with Mr. Laws this time, so that we won't be passive when negotiating. And I heard that Bao Zixuan is very strict about rules, and at the same time he is a little unkind. It's your duty to respect me, I will People who respect you ten feet."

"Seeing that Rolls-Royce attaches so much importance to it, I guess it won't be too demanding."

It's not that easy to put Ferdinand Rice in, and now Richard Laws is also included.

Don't give in at this time, otherwise it will be difficult to hold your head high in the company in the future.

Richard Laws: "Of course there is no problem, as long as Mr. Rice thinks it is feasible; I am always waiting for you to do whatever you want."

Although the words were spoken in a low-key and reserved manner, they also elevated the other person very highly. But it also shows in disguise that this negotiation is dominated by the Rice family, and he will only assist on the side. We won’t fight for credit, but we won’t take the blame either.
