Thomas is a very common surname in France. But the Thomas who spoke to Karl Behrmann was not ordinary.
After informing Jing Gaolai of the situation of the company's confrontation just now, Karl Behrman said with a ferocious expression: "Mr. Thomas, the conditions you promised me are inappropriate. I not only want the position of CEO of Zhaoshi Group after the listing. I also need 5,000
million euros in stock awards.”
There was a gentle sneer on the other end of the phone, and he said in French: "Karl, it's not a good habit to break a prior agreement. In view of your role, I can make the decision to promise you, but only this time. Do you understand?"
"make a deal!"
Thomas on the phone said: "Then work hard! The more chaotic Zhaoshi Group is, the better it is for us. I believe you know what to do."
Karl Behrman hung up the phone, took off his coat forcefully, threw it into the boss's chair in the luxurious office, and gasped for air.
The major shareholders came to the company to seize power, and the chief financial officer cooperated internally to demand the convening of an interim board of directors, which put him under great pressure.
According to the law, he must hand over power. Fortunately, he still has something to use to protect himself. But this self-protection is not really to compromise with the Chinese, but to delay time and let those people take action. In the end, he still
The CEO who led the rise of Zhaoshi Group!
"I brought all this, mine. Not the damn, greedy Chinese!" Karl Behrman roared in a vented manner. Such a shocking plan to seize control of a 40 billion euro group.
, how could he not feel pressure in his heart?
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office. Karl Behrman turned around and said: "Please come in."
The person who walked in was a middle-aged man in his forties named Harold Lynn. He is the chief operating officer of Zhaoshi Group and is in charge of the business under the jurisdiction of five or six presidents. This is equivalent to his deputy. He
I was in the conference room just now.
Harold Lynn closed the door, walked over, lowered his voice and said slightly panicked: "Bellman, now that the Chinese are coming to our door, will we be fine?"
"What can happen?" Karl Behrman said coldly: "You find someone to expose the financial fraud. I don't believe that Jing is willing to let go of that beauty Dong. Let's delay him for a while first. Directors on the board of directors, I
We will communicate one by one. The destiny of our Zhaoshi Group is to be listed."
No mistake is made by one person. Since Carl Behrman dared to betray Igao, he not only had people behind him to support him in doing so, but he also had a group of "his own people". Harold Lynn was one of them.
.
In the continuous mergers and acquisitions, it is a very common method to lay some financial mines. Let's die together!
When Harold Lynn mentioned going public, a greedy look flashed on his face. As a manager and director of Zhaoshi Group, his annual salary is as high as 5 million euros. However, how can this make Zhaoshi Group feel good about going public?
As long as Zhaoshi Group goes public, the value of the shares in their hands will soar. This is the reason why these people are willing to work with Carl Behrmann. They don't care whether the company changes hands, what they care about is that the company goes public!
It is best to go public on the US stock market. The funds there are more abundant and the stock price will have more possibilities.
"Okay!" Harold Lynn agreed, "But, Behrman, I think I need to remind you that after taking this step, we will have no retreat."
"Haha, Lynn, do you think we still have a way out?" Carl Behrman poured a glass of strong wine for Harold Lynn, and said with a solemn expression but a nonchalant tone: "If there is a way out, why should I refuse today?
Mr. Jing? Just hand over the position of CEO! The reason is that as long as he knows what he really wants, he will never allow me to leave Zhaoshi Group safely. There is a Chinese proverb, blocking someone's money is like killing your parents!"
Harold Lynn nodded, "I'll take action right now."
He knew very well that Karl Behrman had a lot of contacts with Chinese businessmen in France. However, this proverb was strange to understand in the French context. Of course he understood the meaning. This is a truth that is understood all over the world: harming the interests of others,
Of course, you will be retaliated and pay the price.

In the morning, Jinggao arrived at Zhaoshi Group with his assistants, bodyguards, and lawyers, but Carl Behrmann, CEO of Zhaoshi Group, resisted and asked them to come out. In the afternoon, Jinggao did not waste time. He was accompanied by Teacher Zheng and visited together.
embassy.
Jing Gao, Teacher Zheng and his party did not meet the ambassador. This is for sure. The ambassador's schedule was arranged. What they met was a counselor who gave a basic feedback on the situation of Zhaoshi Group.
After chatting for two hours, Jing Gao left.
In the evening, Gu Xixi, Dong Youwei, Dong Lingxi and others, who were working separately, gathered at Jinggao's villa to have dinner and summarize the situation.
Teacher Zheng took a few bites and said goodbye with a smile: "Mr. Jing, when you get old, you can't eat. I just want to make a video call home, so you can eat slowly." He had no intention of participating in the internal affairs of Jinggao Company.
Dong Lingxi had yelled and scolded Karl Behrman for an hour in the morning, but he still hadn't recovered yet. His eyes were red and he was in a bad mood, saying: "
Mr. Jing, I have talked with some directors, and they are not interested in removing Bellman from the CEO position. Instead, they asked me if you have any ideas for Zhaoshi Group to be listed in Paris. In my opinion, I'm afraid we can't expect it next week.
The board of directors must directly operate the shareholders’ meeting.”
"Lingxi, thank you for your hard work! I will not let Zhaoshi Group be listed in Paris. That will give LVMH Group and other capital to plunder. I will never do this kind of kneeling down and surrendering!" Jing Gao took a knife and fork and took a big mouthful.
I ate foie gras and ran back and forth today to replenish my physical strength and energy. I wore a napkin around my neck and drank a lot of red wine with a calm expression.
Since he got the unlimited card, he has seen a lot of storms in the past two years, and his ability to withstand pressure has been developed long ago. He has also experienced being almost sent to jail, and has also experienced situations where everyone on the Internet shouted for beatings.
.What is this setback now? The situation is just like a fog, and it seems that there are traps everywhere. But he did not gain nothing today.
After being comforted by Jing Gao, Dong Lingxi's bad mood improved a little.
Gu Xixi said: "President Dong, I am following Brother Jing's instructions to prepare for the shareholders' meeting of Zhaoshi Group. We don't expect anything from the board of directors. But we need you to continue to win over the remaining directors and confuse Carl Behrman."
Chen Qingshuang looked at this beauty who had the same hot figure as her, with bulging front and back, and said: "President Dong, I want to ask you, is the disciplinary department within Zhaoshi Group loyal to us? If possible, it is necessary.
You come forward to talk to him on behalf of Brother Jing and find a breakthrough. Of course, this matter will be a bit dangerous."
Dong Lingxi did not refuse and said: "I will talk to him after work tomorrow."
Jing Gao nodded, and dialed Tan Qin's number in front of several people. His secretary answered the phone, and it was in his hands later. Jing Gao said straight to the point: "Mr. Tan, hello, hello. I'm here.
I have something to trouble you with."
Beijing time is six hours ahead of Paris time. Jing Gao and the others will have dinner now, but it is actually still noon in China.
Tan Qin had just finished a social event, drank some wine, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, tell me. I will not refuse anything that is within my ability."
Businessmen generally speak tactfully. Why? If they are caught without being tactful, they have to pay for things they don't want to do, or deal with difficult problems. Therefore, even though Tan Qin and Jing Gao have a good personal relationship, they do not have a good relationship.
promise.
Just imagine, Jing Gao finds it troublesome and difficult, how can he handle it? There is a huge gap in their net worth, okay?
Don't look at the various wealth lists outside. In financial programs, Jing Gao only has a net worth of four to five billion US dollars, which is almost the same as him. But these are all fake! Count the major companies under Jing Gao's name.
Just know the assets.
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Mr. Tan, it's like this. I encountered some difficulties here in Paris. I want to contact the Chinese business leader here, Mr. Tang Kejin. I need to lobby the French government to abandon the investigation of Zhaoshi Group. I
We need a professional lobbying company and a safe channel and network that can provide political donations. Are you familiar with Mr. Tang?"
Tan Qin thought for a second and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, please wait for me for a moment. I will call you later."
