When Emar sent them out of the office, he said to his secretary in front of several people, "Immediately issue a notice and all directors will hold an emergency meeting to discuss layoffs," Emar said with a dark face.
Many people were surprised, including Erma's secretary, who also had a surprised look on his face. However, his movements were not slow at all and he hurried to give the notice. Erma sent them to the elevator.
, and then returned.
He kept a dark face, but when he entered his office, a smile appeared on his face, "Yes, it's cool." Erma was in a good mood. He sat down and thought about it, picked up the phone, and dialed directly.
, the call went through, "Hello, this is Guo Yongren," Guo Yongren said directly, having been waiting for Erma's call.
"Guo, it's me, Erma." Erma's voice came over. Guo Yongren recognized it and his tone was very relaxed.
"He's gone," Guo Yongren asked, and Erma just smiled.
"Of course, I was scared away by you. I just ordered an emergency board meeting in front of them to study layoffs," Erma said with a smile.
"Why are they looking for you?" Guo Yongren asked
"It's not just because several American cargo ships were robbed in Southeast Asia. The crews were relatively unscrupulous and even the ships were blown up. The company where the ships were located was in trouble in the United States. They were distrustful of the military and demanded reductions in military spending. They came here.
I want you to come forward to protect the safety of American ships in Southeast Asia," Emar said directly.
"Damn, are you really taking advantage of me?" Guo Yongren said directly, feeling very unhappy.
"So, I just cooperated with you to act. How about it? I'm pretty good, definitely at the level of an Oscar-winning actor." Emar said with a smile. Those ships were bombed and Boeing was concerned. Erma would not
Keep it in mind.
"Very good, I find it's really nice to work with you," Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Emar burst into laughter.
"Emal, I have an idea. You call Hughes, Strauss, and Sartre and ask them to convene an emergency board meeting. Of course, control it well and keep it confidential. The atmosphere becomes tense. Trust the White House.
The military would give us certain discounts, it would be a pity to pass up this opportunity, and I'm sorry for our tacit cooperation," Guo Yongren said directly.
Emar was stunned. Yes, this is a good opportunity to ask for resources. He is such a fool. Guo's mind is quick. "Okay, I will inform them immediately and we will meet at Sartre's place in four days."
"Emal said seriously.
"Of course, I'll see you in four days. I hope there will be good news by then," Guo Yongren said with a smile. The two chatted in a few details before hanging up the phone.
Whether Guo Yongren or Erma, they are both chairman of world-class companies, and they usually know each other very well, otherwise it would not be the case that Emar was plotted by Guo Yongren.
Now the two of them have joined forces to deceive the military and White House special correspondents. For them, this matter is too simple, and there is no need to discuss it in advance. This is a tacit understanding.
After Guo Yongren hung up the phone, he walked out of the study and went outside to talk to Leo. Over there, Erma immediately started taking action, talking to Hughes from General Motors, Strauss from Thor, and Sutter from Huntington Ingalls Industries.
, all talked on the phone, and the three said they would cooperate. After all, this is something that benefits everyone.
Leo had lunch at Guo Yongren's place at noon. The two of them didn't drink. After all, Leo had something to do in the afternoon. After drinking some tea, Leo left and Guo Yongren sent Leo to the car and then went to the gym to exercise.
.
In the evening, Guo Yongren thought about it and called Sartre, "Sartre, you can tell them when you get together that I am not joking about the conditions offered by Europe. This time is really different. Europe has made a big deal."
determination, and does not require cash," Guo Yongren said directly
Sartre's head was spinning, "Guo, are you sure you're not joking?" Sartre said directly.
"Sart, I'm really not joking. I will give you a 25-point discount on the price. I can settle the payment in six months. As a quality deposit, you should have channels. You can investigate this at will," Guo Yongren said directly.
"Okay, I will have a good discussion with them." Sartre took a deep breath and hung up the phone. He knew very well how attractive these conditions were, and at least he couldn't withstand them.
Sartre did not wait, and immediately informed the three of them what Guo Yongren had told him. The three of them were also confused. They could not withstand this kind of offer. How could they expect Guo Yongren to withstand it? It seemed that this was really true.
We need to negotiate carefully with the White House.
Early this morning, the military and the White House began discussing this matter. Boeing has convened its board of directors to study the issue of layoffs. This matter is not a trivial matter. Once Boeing makes the decision to lay off employees, then the Ministry of Finance announced last month
Good economic indicators are a dead letter.
Reagan had a huge headache. This group of capitalists couldn't afford to start early without profit. The protective umbrella must be linked to the European group, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold and reckless. But what should he do? These four companies have really started to lay off people.
That will cause a big chain reaction.
At that time, I, as the president, will be the representative of incompetence. Reagan will never accept this. The umbrella has no money and I don’t want to play anymore. Shit, do you really think I don’t know how much you are hanging on coffee futures? In my heart
The resentment towards the umbrella became even deeper.
The military also held a meeting today. Michael gave a briefing on what happened yesterday. The military and others are not as thoughtful as politicians. They know how much the umbrella cost last time. Although Vietnam paid 300 million US dollars in compensation, this is
The US$300 million is completely disproportionate to the amount spent on the umbrella.
"General Horton, there is another even more uncomfortable thing, that is, Southeast Asia after Europe's intervention is beyond our control. With their urinal nature, they will not be able to take action in Southeast Asia unless they scrape it hard.
It is very likely that polar bears will be introduced to Southeast Asia, which is not in our interests," General Michael said seriously.
Everyone nodded seriously. Michael was right. General Horton rubbed his head, "Sacco, has the protective umbrella really shrunk in Southeast Asia?" Horton asked.
"General, it is indeed true. Otherwise, Southeast Asia would not be so chaotic now. Officially because the threat of the protective umbrella is gone, those people will act unscrupulously, and even dare to rob and sink our American cargo ships," Sacco said seriously.
"Why don't they care about the regimes in Southeast Asia?" Aldrich asked very strangely.
"It's not that they don't want to take care of it, but they don't have the strength to take care of it. If you want to quell the piracy problem in Southeast Asia, it will require huge investment. First of all, you must have a strong navy. However, those countries simply do not have the capital to build a strong navy."
Sako said seriously, and many people nodded. Sako was right, it was a poor place.
"They have no money. How could they give so many orders to Umbrella if they don't have money? The transaction volume between Umbrella and those arms dealers is almost tens of billions of dollars." Aldrich continued to ask. This logic does not make sense.
"General, a lot of this is black gold. Umbrella has channels to launder these funds. We can't do this kind of business, right?" Sacco said with a wry smile. It was impossible not to be envious. Although Umbrella said it cost a lot
, However, we have also made a lot of money. If we do not go silent, we will definitely be able to recover our investment and make a lot of money.
A group of generals began to smile bitterly, "In addition, according to our intelligence feedback in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union is discussing a huge aid plan, targeting Vietnam and India. The polar bears have not given up on Southeast Asia," Sako said seriously.
"Humph" "Humph" "Humph" "Humph"......
Several generals snorted and expressed their displeasure. These are hawks who are not afraid of making things worse. They think about how to make trouble with polar bears every day. Holden also has a headache.
It is necessary to silence the protective umbrella. This is a strategic need. The U.S. economy is in very difficult conditions now. However, if the protective umbrella has just been suppressed here, the whole of Southeast Asia will be corrupted. If I had known earlier, it would be better to indulge the protective umbrella in Southeast Asia.
"General, I think this matter is no longer just a matter for the military. We must discuss it with the White House. Yesterday, Boeing's Emar informed us of an emergency board meeting in front of us. The topic is to deal with the loss of umbrella orders.
, the issue of layoffs," Michael said looking at General Horton.
"Actually, the thing is very simple. We just need to completely loosen their ties and let the umbrellas roam freely in Southeast Asia. By then, it will be impossible for the umbrellas not to collide with polar bears. Polar bears can help so many things in Southeast Asia, and so can we. Warships
, submarines, and instructors can all provide a protective umbrella. As long as the protective umbrella is facing the polar bear, he doesn't have to invest in it," General Stilwell said with a serious face.
Many people fell silent and began to consider General Stilwell's opinion. Stilwell was a well-known hawk. Whatever the polar bears supported, he was firmly opposed to. Whatever the polar bears opposed, he must support. This
That's what General Stilwell did.
"General, it is no longer a question of whether we should loosen the restrictions. Even if we loosen the restrictions, Umbrella will probably not buy our American weapons. European arms dealers have already intervened. I think they must have given Umbrella some guarantee, otherwise
, the protective umbrella will not be so resolute," General Michael said.
Holden nodded. Michael's mind was clear. The price of arms in Europe is much lower than that in the United States. This is obvious. Umbrella has invested a lot in Europe. If the United States cannot give greater discounts, then Europe
They will definitely intervene in Southeast Asian affairs, this is the key.
The military was discussing, the White House was also discussing, and something happened outside. While Reagan was discussing with his staff, a staff member came in and said something in Reagan's ear, and Reagan's expression immediately changed.
