Li Bancheng patted Li Kai's shoulder again and said, "After tomorrow, our life will be more difficult. Please prepare yourself and go to the United States with me tomorrow night."
"Avoid the limelight?" Li Kai asked.
"It's just a way to avoid the limelight. This guy Huo Zhenzhou has caused me a lot of trouble overtly and covertly in the past few days, which has made me very embarrassed. When things happen tomorrow, he will definitely get worse. Let's stay out of trouble for now."
"The most important thing is that the equity swap with Mobil gives us the opportunity to penetrate into the deepest elite class in the United States. This will be of great help to our future development. We have to build good relationships...especially the Rockefeller family. This
It is related to whether we can reach a tacit understanding with the Freemasons."
"OK."
When Li Kai heard the three words "Freemasonry", he thought about it with twinkling eyes, gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Go ahead."
…
The next day, Li Jin was woken up by Zhao Zili while he was sleeping.
"Mr. Li."
Opening the door and looking at the embarrassed Zhao Zili outside, Li Jin asked, "What's wrong?"
He knew that Zhao Zili would not disturb his rest unless there was something particularly urgent.
Now that I'm here, something unexpected must have happened.
"Reynoldsson is here, he wants to meet and talk with you."
Hearing Zhao Zili's words, Li Jin raised his eyebrows, turned back to the room to get dressed, and asked: "Has the report been released?"
"Yes, they were sent out one after another, and it caused a great response. The vast majority of people in the column rejected this acquisition plan." Zhao Zili said angrily.
"This is natural. For the Fenlan people, Nokian is their national treasure brand, and we are foreigners. If other foreign companies want to acquire national brands like Maotai, we as Chinese people will also
Disgusted."
Li Jin put on his clothes and talked as he walked. After saying this, he chuckled and added: "However, capital will never change due to public opinion. Who cares what they think?"
"By the way, my meeting with him this time can only last for 30 minutes at most. If it's late, it will delay the opening of the market. You have to be discerning then." Li Jin reminded.
"I understand, Mr. Li."
Arriving at the reception room arranged by the hotel, Li Jin pushed open the door and burst into laughter when he saw Reynoldson.
"My friend, indeed we will meet again soon."
Li Jin enthusiastically went up and shook hands with Reynoldson who stood up.
Reynoldson's expression was not very good. He held Li Jin's hand and said, "Li, you are despicable."
"That sounds like a compliment to me."
Li Jin shrugged, sat on the sofa, and said to Renoldson: "So, President Renoldson came here today to discuss whether I am despicable or not?"
Reynoldson gritted his teeth and said: "You took advantage of the opportunity of me meeting you to promote those things outside, which made me very passive. Li, you must give me an explanation!"
Li Jin said flatly: "President Renoldson, I think you didn't understand the situation. Our meeting is a fact, and my intention to acquire Nokia is also a fact."
"Since these are all facts, I didn't fabricate anything. It's just that the media got the news. What explanation do I need to give you?"
"If this requires an explanation, then what kind of explanation is it that you come here to see me now?"
Reynoldson was so angry that he said: "Do you know how much pressure the board of directors and shareholders have put on me in the past ten hours? They now think that you and I have colluded to remove the national brand from the column.
The greatest brands are sold.”
"You're just kidding. You're just a high-level wage earner. Even if you have some shares, it's only a minority. If I want to collude, I'll have to go to the major shareholders on the board of directors to collude. What are I going to do with you?" Li Jin asked in return.
Reynoldson was stunned for a moment, and his face turned purple with frustration.
"Then what did you do to me last time!?" Reynoldson said.
"Let's talk. Let's see if there is a show or not. If there is a show, it is the best. If there is no show, it doesn't matter."
Li Jin shrugged.
At this moment, in Reynoldson's eyes, he was a standard oriental scoundrel.
"Li, I don't know if this is your negotiation skills, but I must tell you that doing this will only make your probability of success even slimmer."
Reynoldson calmed down his excited anger. He looked at Li Jin calmly and said: "It is difficult for foreigners to understand what Nokia means to the people of Fenlan. If you want to buy it, if everything is kept low-key and all the connections are opened,
There may be some possibilities for opening up the joints."
"But now that you have made the matter known to the whole country, and under huge pressure from the outside world, who do you think will sell their shares to you?"
Li Jin laughed when he heard this and said: "They will reject me, but... they will not reject the U.S. dollar."
"It doesn't matter to me how great a company is to you columnists?"
"In my eyes, what I see is just a mobile phone company with decent assets and good technology. Moreover, this company is caught in the conflict between equity and management rights. If they accidentally fall out with each other, both parties will be destroyed. No matter what,
Whoever wins and who loses, the one who will be beaten is the mobile phone company itself."
"You don't understand this, or do the shareholders don't understand it?"
"Either cash out and leave while the current high price is high, and I will give them enough dollars, or wait for Nokia to be eliminated."
After Li Jin finished speaking, he stood up, stared at Renoldson, and said: "President Renoldson, standing on this wire rope, there is a cliff at your feet, but the initiative is on the other side. Now I will hand you a stick and take it.
If you don’t accept it, that’s your business.”
"But you have to understand that I can give this stick to the weak because it is easier for the weak to compromise, but it doesn't mean that I can't join forces with the strong and beat the weak to death first, right?"
Reynoldson's face wrinkled up.
The big, rough and unshaven face that is unique to the column divider is full of sorrow and entanglement.
He needs some time to digest it, or find a way to get off the stairs, but Li Jin is not in a hurry.
It is estimated that only about 20 minutes have passed now, and he still has 10 minutes to give Renenson trouble.
Li Jin didn't want to throw away the negotiation advantage he finally gained at this time.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Li Jin was getting a little impatient, Reynoldson spoke.
"Li, how are you going to ensure our success? You also said that I am just a manager. My team and I own a very small number of shares in Nokia, only about 3.7%. We cannot influence any decisions of the board of directors at all.
, let alone the shareholders’ meeting.”
This question made Li Jin smile with satisfaction.
