Click, click, click—"

Dressed in a black suit, confident and calm, Arthur walked into the press conference on time, smiled and waved to the media reporters and walked onto the podium, then smiled in different directions to greet him, trying to meet the reporters' photography requirements.

The long-awaited reporters from various media picked up the "long guns and short guns", and the "kakaka" suddenly sounded.

"Hello everyone, we have met again, this time we invite everyone to come over, mainly to tell you one thing, I, Arthur Bolin, will be in the next period of time, the coast (natural gas) power station in Bristol Initiate an acquisition..."

Beep

In the bright conference room, the atmosphere seemed solemn and depressing. The chairman of the Bristol Coastal (Natural Gas) Power Station sitting in the first seat waved to let people turn off the TV that was responding to the video. Although his expression was very serious, it was not at all. Looking around for a week with extra expressions, he said faintly: "Let's talk about it, your views, why did the good negotiations that were originally discussed suddenly stop?

From the initial requirement of 50% of the equity to the current hostile takeover, which link has gone wrong? This morning, my phone call was almost blown up. All shareholders called to ask about the situation. Of course, they were more concerned about the price offered by Mr. Arthur Bolin! "

Some of the people sitting at the conference table bowed their heads and didn't know what they were thinking, while others looked at each other. The main person in charge of the power plant that made trouble for the other party during the negotiation was somewhat guilty and silent with regret.

The management knew for the first time that the original investor suddenly changed and became a barbarian standing outside the door. They knew that their careful thinking was completely bankrupt. Now, not only could they not stop the other party’s acquisition, It has completely endangered their jobs.

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

One of the senior women of the power plant suddenly broke the silence and said meaningfully.

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

"What do you mean?" The power plant's CEO looked gloomy, frowned, and stared at the senior woman with dark eyes.

"Hehe, I don’t mean anything. For the company’s shareholders, the “hostile acquirer” who puts the return of capital first may be a friend. Although this may threaten the interests of incumbent executives, if reforms can be passed, Maximizing the company's potential is a good thing for everyone." The senior woman seemed not to be surprised by the CEO's targeting and questioning, with a smile on her face, looking at the CEO indifferently.

"Chairman, "Barbarians" certainly has its cold side, but the emergence of barbarians is essentially a sign of the maturity of the capital market. At the same time, it is an external driving force that reminds 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 shock brought about by external shocks, this will be the "wake-up call" that hangs on our company in the future, and it is also about "not doing well" and following the old ways. A "death knell" for the pattern. "

Wow--

Facing the executive vice president who suddenly broke out for unknown reasons today, everyone in the conference room was a little shocked by such sharp words. Her words were undoubtedly directed at the current management. The expressions were different, and they were in an uproar.

"be quiet!"

The chairman sitting in the first seat said with a solemn expression, so that everyone who was talking quietly closed their voices, while the chairman looked at the increasingly gloomy CEO and the executive woman who always kept a calm smile with a meaningful look. Vice President.

Ordinarily, as the chairman of the board, he should most oppose the acquisition of power plants. After all, he must threaten his position. However, he was originally an official, representing the official 50% of the shares, the elected mascot, He basically doesn't care, especially when there is a strong CEO.

Therefore, for him as the chairman, it doesn’t matter whether he sells the 50% of the shares this time or is wholly acquired. On the contrary, he is more concerned about how much the power plant can sell. After all, He also owns part of the shares.

"Corinna, you support the acquisition of power plants, right?"

"Yes, Chairman, I have 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 shelved due to lack of funds. It has greatly affected our development and growth momentum. I think that the new capital will bring new changes to our power plants.” The executive vice president of the power plant named Corinna stated his position without hesitation.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it may not be!" At this time, the CEO who had been somber-faced said with a sneer: "Everyone here, do you really know this Arthur Bolin?

Indeed, he has dominated many media outlets recently. What is the youngest billionaire who buys clubs and scandals is an absolute hot topic. However, as far as I know, he is a billionaire. It is huge, which means that he can't spend three or four billion pounds to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of power plants.

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

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 man with no management experience and never contacted the energy industry who can lead Bristol’s Coastal (natural gas) power stations are heading for glory! "

I have to say that the CEO’s words were very sharp, and what he said made many people in the conference room nodded solemnly. Of course, more people chose to be silent.

"Corinna, I know that you met the person in charge of the other party’s negotiation team privately. I don’t know what promises the other party made to you, but what I want to tell you is that things will never be as perfect as you think. They They will transfer all the debts to the power plant, just like a leech, adsorbing on the power plant, constantly drawing blood to strengthen themselves, and the management and employees of the power plant will become the biggest victims!"

"Haha, Mr. Max, this is a bit alarmist!" Corinna didn't want to deny or explain at all, whether she had met Angela privately, but sneered at the CEO Max and said.

"As for the source of the acquirer's funds, I think no one cares. Whether it is a bank loan or a margin financing and securities lending, is it important to shareholders?

Faced with such a large-scale wholly-owned acquisition, can shareholders refuse it? All of you, who can prevent shareholders from selling their shares? You should be very clear about how urgent the government, our largest shareholder, is to sell that 50% of the shares.

Unless someone here can now come up with 200 million pounds to buy, or a phone call can attract a third party, at a higher price than Mr. Basserberlin. . . Who can do it? ! "

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

"Yes, I met with Ms. Angela, the team leader of the other party. After talking, the other party also hopes to get my support. Of course, you can rest assured that as the executive vice president of the power plant, I will never throw it away. Lose 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 that most of the current management will continue to be retained for one year!

As for debt transfer, hehe, Mr. Max, over the years, you have led a lot of loans from the bank, right? "

"You--" CEO Max's complexion flushed ~lightnovelpub.net~ glared.

"Okay, don't make any noise!" This is the chairman who stood up suddenly, stopped drinking, and looked around sharply for a week. After pondering, he glanced at the angry CEO Max, and then looked at him without stopping. Turned to Corinna and said.

"Corinna, it's up to you to form a new negotiation team to negotiate with the other party..."

Hearing the chairman's words, everyone in the conference room was silent, and Max was even more desperate. He looked at the chairman, opened his mouth, and leaned 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 the Bristol Coastal (Natural Gas) Power Station!"

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

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