After Guo Siyue left the Municipal First Hospital, she first went to the headquarters building of Galaxy Group to meet with Group CEO Watson.
Later, in Watson's office, he took several of Watson's red landlines and made a call to summon the heads of member companies under the Galaxy Group to Shanghai for a meeting.
At a time when mobile phones are popular, CEOs still like to place a few landline phones on their desks. Mainly because it is convenient to make phone calls and it also provides a certain degree of confidentiality.
Watson was forty-nine years old. He was slightly tall and thin. His handsome face was resolute, calm and reserved. At this time, his face was full of tiredness and his voice was hoarse.
: "Alice, thank you for your hard work."
As the CEO of Galaxy Group, he has been under great pressure recently.
Guo Siyue sighed softly: "I should do it."
That evening, the bosses of more than 20 companies related to the Galaxy Group, such as Hu Zhi Media, Ronghe Group, Haiyi Group, Jincheng Real Estate, Yintian Group, Haotian Pictures, Jinghai Real Estate, etc., gathered at the Galaxy Group
In the large conference room on the 20th floor of the headquarters building.
Ren Zhi, Ren Pai, Cheng Herong, Xi Wenbin, An Xiaoqian, Wu Mian, Hu Suming, Zhu Fen and others were sitting around the oval conference table. Juniors such as Wu Jie, Hua Shan, Ren Chao and others were sitting in the back row.
Observe the meeting.
Everyone is looking at Guo Siyue. The current situation of the Galaxy Group is "a crisis of survival". However, the leader of the Galaxy Group, Ren He, is still hospitalized and is unable to perform high-intensity mental work.
The second in command of the group, Guo Siyue, has recently stepped forward to stabilize the situation, and everyone hopes that she can lead the group out of the predicament.
Seeing the attentive glances, Guo Siyue felt even more tired.
In 1995, Barings Bank suffered a loss of US$1 billion due to the operations of its subordinate Jason, and the century-old bank collapsed.
When Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in 2008, what was their loss then? They lost $3.9 billion in the second quarter.
Galaxy Group has now lost 31 billion in cash, equivalent to about 4.5 billion US dollars. The situation is critical.
Guo Siyue sat in the main seat, looking around with a pair of bright eyes, and spoke slowly and in a heavy tone, "The group's current liquidity is almost dry, and it is facing fierce competition from the Phoenix Group in all directions.
Therefore, the group decided to shrink its business and sell a number of non-core assets as soon as possible in order to tide over the current difficulties.
It is expected that this major business adjustment will take two years. It is planned to abandon the business and assets in Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, and South Asia. Some domestic sunset industries and non-key businesses will also be sold to ensure that the group's capital chain is not broken.
and reduce debt as much as possible.
In view of the current situation, the group holds 10% to 20% of the shares in each company and is willing to bid for the repurchase. You can talk to me after the meeting. The group will give a fair repurchase price. However, I require cash.
.”
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became extremely heavy.
An emotional boss stood up and asked with a choked voice: "Mr. Guo, do you really want to go to this point?"
The organizational structure of Galaxy Group is similar to that of the National Image Committee. It is divided into two categories. One is directly affiliated companies, and the other is companies that hold part of the equity. Haiyi Group, Ronghe Group, etc. fall into the second category.
Guo Siyue's approach is to "survive with a broken arm" and "slim down", which at the same time pushes away the member companies of the Galaxy Group. Each one is responsible for life and death.
In a word: the birds and beasts disperse!
Guo Siyue pursed her lips and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I have no choice!" Galaxy Group has too much time to take care of itself. How can it care about the life and death of its member companies? Her primary purpose now is: to withdraw funds and reduce debt.
Conference room? I don’t know who cried out. The atmosphere was not only heavy, but also a little desolate.
The meeting didn't last long. It ended after two hours. Guo Siyue stood in front of the window of the conference room, drinking the warm water handed by the assistant, feeling unspeakable. The vastness, the deep night shrouded the earth, and the rushing Huangpu River
.
The headquarters of Galaxy Group is in the magical city of Pudong. The landmark headquarters building towers into the sky and is well-known at home and abroad.
At this time, An Xiaoqian, who was left alone, stood beside her. She and Guo Siyue were old acquaintances and had old grudges.
Guo Siyue had a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't put them into words. She chanted softly: "Seeing him building a Zhulou, watching him entertaining guests, watching his building collapse!"
…
…
The lake is sparkling. The waves are rippling in the wind. The sun is dancing on the water. It’s a weekend afternoon? The scenery is extremely beautiful.
This is Chongming Island, a good place for citizens of Shanghai to come for leisure and tourism.
Jing Gao and twenty-seven Phoenix Group executives who attended China Europe Business School, plus the group executives he invited, were hanging out casually in Suiyu Villa, or finding a place to chat in twos and threes.
Ji include: Guan Yujia, Cao Danqing, Qiao Shuang, Dong Youwei, Cheng Yu, Liu Sumei, Yu Jiashi, Jiang Zi, Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, Guo Lingyu, Wei Chenjun, Liu Zhen, Guo Pojun, An Zhiwen, Xie Wangzhen
, Shen Jinyuan, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, Han Wenguang, Zuo Hao, Fu Ye, Yin Jian, Li Wei and others.
Jing Gao helped Wang Hanjun register at China Europe Business School. Today she called Gu Xixi and Zhang Li, who were already working in the Phoenix Group. They both worked in the secretarial team under Jiang Zi, and their new colleague Chen Qingshuang also
Get invited.
"Suiyu Villa" is a farmhouse-style manor on the island, covering an area of more than ten acres, hidden among the lakes and mountains. There are green chickens and ducks, organic vegetables, etc. There are patches of woods, creeks and ponds. It has the joy of a farmhouse.
, and have modern conveniences and enjoyment.
This villa is only open to friends, and a lot of thought has been put into its operation. It is very popular among professional elites in the city.
After lunch, Jing Gao drank tea with old acquaintances Guan Yujia, Qiao Shuang, Yu Jiashi, An Zhiwen, Li Wei, Wu Jingshu, and Li Yifeng in the Chinese-style corridor on the hillside of the villa.
As far as you can see, there are lush woods and lakes in the distance. It is really a good place for vacation and leisure, it is refreshing!
Yu Jiashi leaned on the railing, the breeze blowing his shirt, making him feel energetic and happy, and said: "Brother Jing, I heard that old boy Ren He is huddled in the first courtyard of the city, shameless to see anyone. Moreover, Yinhe
The group is undergoing significant shrinkage and fire sale. Haha! If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
Jing Gao was very relaxed, sitting casually in a wooden chair, smiling and waving his hands, "We won't talk about this today."
Yu Jiashi chuckled and nodded. In fact, today is the "celebration banquet" of the Phoenix Group. But Brother Jing didn't say it clearly. Now, the situation is very different from before! Not only is there no pressure, but there is also pursuit.
Guan Yujia stood up and gave Jing Gao more tea. She was a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure and unprovoked charm. She said gently: "Brother Jing, what should I do with Pei Qingrong? I'll ask the Integrity and Compliance Department to check on him."
Jing Gao stretched out his hand to support the teapot, indicating that it was okay, and said: "Ask Jiang Zi to send someone to check and go through legal procedures. The mobile phone and film and television businesses give me a headache! Lao An, how is Professor Zhao's health?
?”
An Zhiwen smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, don't mention this. My dad pretended to be sick and hid in the hospital because of Liao Rong's affairs. As a result, he stayed in the hospital for a week, but the problem was actually found. Now he goes there regularly
Hospital check-up.”
Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, my dad saw the video I showed him on March 8 a few days ago, and he praised you as: a copycat version of Zhuge Wuhou. Mr. Ren is an enhanced version of Wang Lang!
"
Jing Gao laughed and said: "Haha, Professor Zhao's allusion is inappropriate. Zhuge Liang and I are far behind in our talking skills. I have to go to the city hall tomorrow and return to the capital the day after tomorrow. By then, I will go see Professor Zhao
.”
Professor Zhao was heartbroken by Ren He. Most of Wang Lang just defected to Cao Wei.
During this time, Li Yifeng presided over the construction of the "Shan Hai Jing Semiconductor Research Institute" in the magical city of Qingpu. He still looked chubby and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, speaking of which, Pei Qingrong can join the company because I was the personnel manager at the time. I also have
responsibility."
Jing Gao laughed and said, "Old Li, you have nothing to do with this. If we really investigate, I, Liu Sumei, and Xiao Qiao are all responsible. So, we won't talk about it today. Let's look at the beautiful scenery here and enjoy our leisure time!"
Guan Yujia, Qiao Shuang, Yu Jiashi, An Zhiwen, Li Wei, Wu Jingshu, and Li Yifeng all laughed.
Everyone drinks tea or enjoys the scenery, and the beautiful scenery around them comes into view.
I brought a hundred couples with me to travel together, recalling the glorious past.
Then, let me ask again, who owns the world in today’s realm?
Phoenix!
…
…
At about nine o'clock in the morning on Monday, Ren Zhi and Hua Shan went to the city government building to do some errands. They registered at the doorman's office and walked into the lobby on the first floor. They met Jing Gao with a beautiful woman.
The assistant comes.
Hua Shan pulled Ren Zhi, who was slightly stunned. Don't be impulsive. This is really a narrow road for enemies. What a coincidence.
Ren Zhi is twenty-four years old, wearing a suit. His fair and clean appearance has always been elegant and smart. Now, the circles under his eyes are a little dark, and he is obviously tired. He no longer has the dullness of the past, but in fact, his heart is
Very proud temperament.
Ren Zhi's eyes met Jing Gao's, and he had mixed feelings for a moment. He remembered the first time he met Jing Gao at home, and Jing Gao humbly asked his father for advice.
Recalling that when he sent Jing Gao out, Yun Danfengqing warned him not to provoke his sister-in-law and left him at the door with contempt.
I remember when Xie Shihuang coordinated the truce and merger between Didi and Uber in the Magic City, when Jing Gao turned against him, he pointed his hand at his anger.
I remembered Jing Gao's toughness when he and his father were completely at odds with each other at the Xiangshan Club in November last year.
I remembered the scene in the short video of Jing Gao speaking heart-wrenching words to his father. In the end, his father scolded him so much that his blood pressure rose, his cerebral blood vessels ruptured, and he fell to the ground.
Scenes of scenes flashed through my mind.
How could Ren Zhi not hate him? How could he be willing to do so? But at this moment, his heart was filled with an unspeakable sense of powerlessness! What could he do?
Ren Zhi looked at Gao Jing as he walked over: he was tall, and he and Hua Shan stepped aside.
Hua Shan smiled. She even scolded Jing Gao in person on March 8. Looking back now, she felt like she was sweating on her back.
Jing Gao glanced at Ren Zhi's face, paused for two seconds, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Maybe it was disdain, maybe it was sarcasm. Who knows? Without saying a word, he led Cheng Yu from the hall.
Leave at the door.
Outside the city hall building, the spring scenery is bright and beautiful. A picture of a new era is slowly unfolding.
