Elderly people who are decades old get tired easily. Not only does Laurence feel tired physically, he also feels tired mentally. The so-called elite managers who have been cultivated for many years finally decided to do nothing and just wait.
The other party's next move. Maybe this kind of wait-and-see approach would be suitable at other times, but when is it now? Those who come are not kind and those who are kind will not come. The other party is hiding behind it and has used so many tricks.
Is it as simple as money?
"You are tired too, go back first!" Lawrence was no longer interested in hearing their fallacies and asked them to go back so that he could think more quietly.
Their big bosses were asked to go back, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left with anxious expressions. For them, if Kadoorie really cannot maintain its status as the major shareholder of the hotel this time, then they, who have single-handedly passed Kadoorie
Elite managers who have been promoted by reason have to say goodbye to their positions with high wages and benefits. These people may have their own unique skills in managing hotels, but they lack the mentality to handle crises.
When everyone left under the guidance of Michael Kadoorie, Lorenz had to show an old look, and wrinkles suddenly appeared on his face. "Oh! Could it be that Kadoorie will really be in my life?"
Did he fail in his hands?"
The study room opened again, and Michael Kadoorie walked in again. Seeing his father's appearance, he felt very heartbroken. He was an old man in his seventies, and he still had to work hard to maintain the family business here. What did this mean?
It doesn’t mean that he is strong and healthy, but that no one in this generation can handle the crisis in the family well. “Father! Is there anything I can do to help you? I know that my performance this time has disappointed you, but I have already reviewed it.
I won’t let you down again.”
"Mi Gao, I know you have tried your best. But this time I want you to meet Liu Luanxiong, negotiate terms with him, and see what conditions he offers to sell his shares in the hotel to us. Only by getting
With the shares in his hands, we will be invincible. It doesn't matter what the man behind the scenes does. We will always be the largest shareholder of the Grand Hotel, and the Grand Hotel will always belong to us, Kadoorie." Rowlands was a little excited.
, the last words were no longer spoken calmly, they were almost shouted.
Michael Kadoorie was puzzled that his father asked him to see Liu Luanxiong, and he was also very angry, "Father, why do you still want to see that hateful Liu? He is responsible for all the things that have put us in this situation.
This unfavorable situation was also planned by him. At this time, why should we ask him? I guess he is having a celebration party somewhere now, drinking fine wine and smoking cigars."
Luo Lanshi understands his son's anger very well, and he also despises Liu Luanxiong in his heart. Without Liu Luanxiong's leadership and planning, the man behind the scenes would not have the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. Without Liu Luanxiong's pursuit and fierce fighting, behind the scenes,
The black hands will not take the opportunity to attack. Without Liu Luanxiong's mantis stalking the cicada, there will be no behind-the-scenes oriole behind.
At first, Luo Lanshi had doubted whether the entire acquisition plan was a gambit, and Liu Luanxiong was just a pawn, and the person hiding behind was the real planner and executor. After his analysis and data display, he believed that both he and Liu Luanxiong were both
He was being tricked. In this way, he had the opportunity to sit down and talk slowly with Liu Luanxiong. If someone planned the plan, the biggest beneficiary in the end would not be him, and he felt angry just thinking about it. He Luolanshi knew
Liu Luanxiong will also see that, so as long as he pays enough benefits, Liu Luanxiong may not be able to give up his shares.
"Mi Gao, why haven't you grown up at this time? How will the family be handed over to you in the future?" Rowlands still asked Mi Gao to sit down. He had great expectations for this son, and Mi Gao had always
He did a good job, but he still didn't get rid of his condescending attitude, thinking that he could look down on the lower-level employees and Chinese people without aristocratic backgrounds at will. This made him make a serious mistake in this acquisition.
Liu Luanxiong had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"You should remember that in the shopping mall, there is never any general who always wins. Your friends today may be your opponents tomorrow. Your enemies today may be your allies tomorrow. This is the saying that there is no father and son in the shopping mall. As long as
If the interests are large enough, any behavior can be easily carried out. Regarding Liu Luanxiong, we should not think too badly of him. He is only for his own interests. The enemy we really have to face is the one hiding behind him.
The black hand may be a combination of one or several companies. What is their real purpose? We still don’t know yet. But in my opinion, their ultimate goal must be the big hotel. Only by getting the big hotel, the shallow water
The Bay Hotel and the Peninsula Hotel are in their pocket. Losing the hotel will mean that the family reputation we have built over the years will be destroyed. We want to prevent this from happening, and the only one who can help us now is Liu Luanxiong.
As long as his conditions are not too excessive, I can agree to it. Only by getting the shares from him can we successfully avoid this crisis. Do you understand what I said?" Rowlands explained to Michael Kadoorie in a serious voice.
, he believed that his son was smart and would definitely understand this simple truth.
"I understand, I will definitely handle this matter." Michael Kadoorie finally put aside his prejudice against Liu Luanxiong, although in his heart he still didn't like Liu Luanxiong very much, and he also didn't like Liu Luanxiong's actions.
Very resentful. But now that family interests are above all else, I had to put aside my personal prejudices and go see him with enough sincerity.
"Well! You also need to instruct the subordinates to always pay attention to Liu Luanxiong's movements to see if there is anything that does not belong to Hong Kong's strength and go to him. That person is very likely to be the black hand this time. We must not let them get there first. As long as we can
If Liu Luanxiong holds the shares, then we can convene another general meeting of shareholders and apply to the trade fair to resume stock trading. Even if the gangster has some tricks up his sleeve, he does not have the status of a major shareholder and will never be able to cause trouble in the board of directors."
"I know everything. I will not let the Grand Hotel be lost in our hands." Michael Kadoorie swore to his father.
Michael Kadoorie did not go to Liu Luanxiong's company to discuss with him. If he went to the company to discuss with him, it would be like a formal business negotiation, and many things would have to be handled formally. Now he is planning to visit Liu Luanxiong's home, hoping to have a good relationship with Liu Luanxiong.
Have a preliminary conversation in a relatively peaceful and stable place, hoping that this can lower Liu Luanxiong's wariness about himself. As long as Liu Luanxiong can talk to him, there is a chance of success.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. There are too many things in the company. I have been busy until now and kept Mr. Kadoorie waiting for a long time." As soon as Liu Luanxiong entered the door, the servant informed him that there was a middle-aged man named Michael.
When a Westerner came to look for him, he knew without thinking that it must be Michael Kadoorie, but he was just puzzled as to why he suddenly came to visit his home. Liu Luanxiong knew very well that Michael Kadoorie had always been very fond of him.
He is prejudiced, saying that he is not pragmatic and likes to be ambitious. This time he was able to lower his worth and come to his own home. He must have made some determination, otherwise he would not have done this.
"It seems that Kadoorie can't wait any longer. You want to negotiate terms with me so soon? This time the blackmail will definitely be loud." This was the first thing Liu Luanxiong thought after meeting Michael Kadoorie.
.
"It doesn't matter, Liu, you should be busy now. As the saying goes, those who can work hard are not like me and the idle people now." Liu Luanxiong was also very happy to hear this little flattery, but he was not satisfied with his arrival.
It is even more certain that it is what I think in my heart.
Since Michael Kadoorie did not come to his company for formal discussions, Liu Luanxiong did not invite him into the study room for discussions. Just like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, they poured wine beside the bar set up in the hall of their home.
Two glasses of whiskey, just like chatting, talking about irrelevant things.
Liu Luanxiong is not in a hurry, but Michael is. Kadoorie knows that the shares in Liu Luanxiong's hands are valuable, so the man behind the scenes also knows that, and even Liu Luanxiong himself knows it. Since it is difficult for him to have a chance to get involved in a big hotel, why not do it for himself
Striving for maximum benefit?
"Liu, I think you should understand the purpose of my visit this time. We don't have to waste our precious time on these boring topics." Mi Gao finally couldn't help it anymore. He wanted to implement Liu Luanxiong's idea as soon as possible.
"Oh! It turns out that Mr. Kadoorie came to my house to chat with me, didn't he? I thought that since Mr. Kadoorie and I have known each other for so many years, we can be regarded as friends. This is the first time he came to my house as a guest. It turns out that he is not here to visit a friend.
?" Liu Luanxiong smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to take a sip, watching Mi Gao's reaction calmly.
"Oh! No, of course not. You misunderstood me. I am sincerely here to visit your friend this time. I just have something else I want to talk to you about. It won't hinder you too much time.
"We are all smart people. In fact, we all know the purpose of each other's coming and the meaning of the words. We just want to maintain that damn demeanor and don't want to lose out in front of our opponents. To put it simply, it is hypocrisy. I have really become a female supporter.
Also build a chastity memorial arch.
"Then what is it? Seeing that you are so sincere and came to my home in person, I can't let you even talk. You can just say that as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"This matter is actually about the future development of the hotel. Kadoorie and Liu's shares are enough to control the entire board of directors of the hotel. Do you have any opinions on this?" Michael Kadoorie did not immediately comment.
After explaining his purpose clearly, he wanted to test Liu Luanxiong's attitude.
"So that's what happened!" Liu Luanxiong picked up the cigar he put aside and lit it without comment. He took a leisurely puff and blew out round smoke rings. "I really haven't thought about it. I don't think much about the big hotel.
Everyone has always liked it, but I am the least popular. Now I am only the third largest shareholder, and it is not my turn to speak yet. It is better to wait until the person who got a large number of shares this time comes forward and asks
Let’s ask him what he thinks.” Since Jia Dao wanted to kill time, Liu Luanxiong wouldn’t mind accompanying him to the garden.
