When Doyle heard this, he smiled coldly: "Moyes, don't put your hat on me, it's useless. I'm not stupid, but I know that Luming City is very powerful. The last phase of the project
Didn't your group want to take the high-level route when you were in power? What happened in the end? Instead of being eliminated, now you want me to take the lead in forcing you to go to the palace. Isn't this a trick on me? I won't take the lead."
Moyes couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Doyle was quite cunning and refused to be the leader.
After pondering for a moment, Moyes proposed some other transaction methods and promised Doyle some benefits, and Doyle reluctantly agreed.
Subsequently, Doyle and Moyes began to join forces, and soon contacted many foreign companies that came to Luming City this time to jointly lodge a serious protest with the Luming City Government, expressing their unwillingness to obey.
Luming City's bidding documents require all companies to disclose the conditions for their shareholder composition, and point out that this condition is suspected of infringing on commercial secrets.
After receiving the complaint from the temporary protest alliance, Luming City immediately held a press conference. At the press conference, Wang Hongbo, the executive deputy team leader, pointed out very clearly in front of all reporters: "All investors are required to
There is no problem for suppliers to provide shareholder composition information, because many Chinese companies often encounter such requirements when participating in various international bidding abroad, especially when bidding in the United States, Japan and other countries, such situations are very common.
There is no problem with Luming City proposing such conditions."
Finally, Wang Hongbo pointed out very forcefully: "The temporary protest alliance has the right to appeal, but Luming City has the right to refuse. The financing bidding meeting will be held as scheduled. If any investors are dissatisfied with this condition, they may not participate in this bidding."
It has to be said that Wang Hongbo's strength exceeded everyone's expectations. After the temporary protest alliance attended the press conference, the two leaders, Moyes and Doyle, were so angry that they almost lost their temper.
In the hotel, Moyes and Doyle were sitting face to face on the sofa. Doyle angrily threw the apple on the coffee table to the ground and said: "Moyes, what on earth do you think is going on in Luming City? Why?
Are they always so tough? Isn’t Liu Qingyu seriously injured and hospitalized now? Why are they still so tough?"
Moyes smiled faintly and said calmly: "Doyle, don't be anxious. Although Liu Qingyu is hospitalized, Wang Hongbo is his direct descendant. He must resolutely implement Liu Qingyu's wishes, so,
It’s normal for Luming City to be strong.”
"Then what should we do next? Will our protest end in vain? Then aren't our efforts in vain?" Doyle said angrily.
"Working in vain? How could it be? Our protest and appeal to Luming City is just our first step. It is just to test the basic reaction of Luming City. Now we have basically seen the reaction of Luming City. Now, that is
It's time for us to truly show the strength of our league." Moyes said calmly.
Doyle frowned: "Oh? Show your strength? How to show it?"
Moyes said with a smile: "It's very simple. Our protest alliance will also hold a press conference. At that time, we will use the strong strength of the protest alliance to put pressure on Luming City through news and public opinion, pointing out that if
If Luming City does not modify this condition, then we will withdraw from this financing negotiation. Moreover, I have contacted the senior leaders of Tianya Province. As soon as the press conference of the Protesters Alliance is held, the leaders of Tianya Province will report to
Luming City put pressure on them and forced them to modify this condition!
By that time, as our leader in the protestors' alliance, we only need to reach relevant agreements with other companies in the alliance. By then, we will have formulated unified financing conditions and requirements. By that time, Luming City will
Under internal and external pressure, we had no choice but to compromise, and by that time, we would have basically taken the initiative in this financing bidding negotiation.
We are investors, and of course the initiative should be controlled by us. All Liu Qingyu’s previous deployments were to ensure that Luming City takes the lead in the entire Luwei Island project. This is absolutely unacceptable to us. I believe in you, Doyle.
You should also understand the true meaning of taking the lead, right?"
After Moyes finished speaking, Dalton's eyes suddenly lit up. Of course he understood the true meaning of taking the lead. Once the protestors' alliance takes the lead in the project, they will fight for more for themselves when negotiating with Luming City.
Many interests, including the dominance of project operations, the dominance of share dividends, and even the dominance of the direction of port operations. Once these things are grasped, although the port belongs to Luming City, the entire port will be completely destroyed.
into the hands of the Protesters Alliance, and by that time, they will take everything. And all they need to pay is to spend some of their funds to control a few leaders in key positions! This kind of business operation method is common among many Westerners.
The company has already had very mature operating methods.
However, although Doyle knew what Moyes was thinking, he was not without worries: "Moyes, the method you mentioned is feasible, but what if Luming City refuses to compromise? Then our protestors' alliance will have to sit down
It’s waxy.”
Moyes smiled: "No compromise? As long as we raise the momentum here, the leadership of Tianya Province will intervene by then. Can Luming City resist the pressure of provincial leaders? If they don't
It's weird to compromise! Just relax on this. And I have already roped in three well-known investment companies in China to join our protestors' alliance. By that time, the strength of the entire protestors' alliance will become
It is very powerful, and Luming City’s right to speak will be severely reduced. Isn’t this a great opportunity for us to seek benefits?”
Doyle rolled his blue eyes when he heard this and nodded slightly: "Yes, that's okay. In that case, let's give it a try."
After two days of careful preparation, the Protesters Alliance press conference was officially held.
The Protesters Alliance also showed their trump card, which covers 80% of large foreign investment companies and three large domestic investment funds. It can be said that the entire Protesters Alliance basically controls the most powerful investment companies in the world.
.The remaining investment companies that have not joined the Protesters Alliance cannot be compared with the Protesters Alliance in terms of scale or weight. It can be said that although the Protesters Alliance only includes 80% of the bidding companies,
But it controls more than 90% of the capital scale!
In the eyes of big bosses like the Protesters Alliance, the remaining investment companies are not worth mentioning at all.
At the press conference, Doyle, the leader of the protestors' alliance, pointed out angrily that Luming City's refusal to give in was very disappointing to investors. Therefore, these investors decided to unite to express their strong dissatisfaction. If Luming City
If they still refuse to make any changes, then all members of their entire protester alliance will directly withdraw from this financing bidding!
When this press conference ended, the entire Luming City, the entire Tianya Province, the entire China and even the entire world were shocked by the press conference in Luming City.
This kind of thing is still relatively rare in the world.
This is the strongest provocation issued by investors united against project financiers!
This also represents the strong dissatisfaction of investors.
This incident appeared in major public opinion media throughout China, and also appeared in many influential foreign media. Suddenly, Luming City once again became the focus of public opinion in the entire world.
After seeing this press conference, Sun Desheng immediately rushed to the Luming Municipal Party Committee in the name of research and inspection, and asked Shen Hongfei to organize an interim standing committee meeting.
At the Standing Committee meeting, Sun Desheng strongly criticized the recent performance of the Luming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and then frowned and said: "Comrade Shen Hongfei, have you noticed the recent news from the Protesters Alliance in Luming City? The pressure brought by the press conference? How does Luming City plan to deal with it?"
Shen Hongfeida smiled lightly: "Vice Governor Sun, our Luming City has no intention of compromising on this incident."
"What? You don't intend to compromise? Do you want Luming City to continue to live in the hot pursuit of the international media? Don't you know how your Luming City is being described in the international media now? Don’t you know that even in Yanjing City, many leaders are very dissatisfied with your Luming City’s poor performance in this incident?
Not to mention the province, many provincial party committee leaders are very dissatisfied with the recent performance of Luming City. Some even suggested that if Luming City cannot correctly handle this conflict with investors, then The province will need to reconsider whether to take control of the entire Luwei Island project back to the province."
When Shen Hongfei heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his face darkened immediately.
At this time, Dong Zhihao frowned and said: "Secretary Shen, I feel that Vice Governor Sun's words are very reasonable. Now that we have reached this time, I think it is time for us to consider compromising and taking a step back. After all, there are many people in the protestors' alliance including We have more than 80% of the investors, and they control more than 90% of the capital. If they really withdraw from the bidding negotiations, then the financing of our second phase project will most likely require Failure! Once this happens, the consequences will be unbearable for our Luming City. Who will bear this responsibility then?"
Dong Zhihao's words were more impactful than Sun Desheng's. After he finished speaking, many members of the Standing Committee of Luming City frowned. They had to admit that Luming City had indeed reached the edge of the cliff.
