The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 1151 Negotiations

Joey couldn't believe it, but one day he showed up in the conference room of the RAND Group with a visitor's ID card. The employees who walked by the door were whispering in low voices, which made Joey feel the expression on his face. It's getting uglier.

It was already the second day after the incident, and Joey finally contacted Ward and came to the Rand Group again.

"Before we start, do you need something?" Lawrence walked in from the outside triumphantly, and said to the two with satisfaction, "How about my coffee? We bought a new espresso machine."

"Stop acting, Lawrence." Joey's eyes fell on the two documents brought in by Lawrence, and he said very bluntly: "Let's finish this quickly, and then the two of us will go to clean up our offices."

"Oh, your things have been packed." Lawrence's expression was exaggerated, and then he turned cold again, and said: "Of course, everything belonging to the Rand Group cannot be taken away. The box will teach you , you sign the termination contract and it’s over.”

"Are you going to blackmail us with our gadgets?" Ward looked at Lawrence with disdain.

"It's not just gadgets, Ward, I have something irreplaceable." Joey suppressed the anger in his heart forcibly, and said coldly: "The photos of father and mother are also in it."

Lawrence forced a smile and said, "As I said, you can get those things as long as you sign. You will find that the severance package I gave you is already very generous, 1 million US dollars per person."

"Heh!" Ward sneered disdainfully, took over a hundred pages of contract text, and said while reading, "That's what we gave Danny back then."

That's right, the world is reincarnated, and now it's their turn again, Lawrence couldn't help but smiled and said, "It's ironic, isn't it?"

"Be proud now, Lawrence, when I sit at the other end of the table, I guarantee you won't be able to laugh." Joey sat there motionless, with a cold expression on his face. After all, the two brothers and sisters are shareholders of the Rand Group. , Although they were said to be expelled by this session of the board of directors, when the next general meeting of shareholders is held and the board of directors is re-elected, with their shares and Lanier Rand's shares, they will definitely be able to return to the board of directors.

Moreover, they have joined forces and have already controlled more than 67% of the company's shares. By then, Lawrence and others will be completely kicked out.

"You can only blame each other. It was a wrong decision to bring Danny back to the company. Fortunately, we didn't give him a job, so we don't have to give him severance pay." Lawrence spread his hands indifferently. To be honest, this matter is not to blame As for him, although it is true that he has a connection behind the scenes, without what Daniel Rand did, it would be impossible for him to get all the remaining board members of the company to agree to let the three of them be kicked out.

"It's a blessing in misfortune." For the last point, Ward also agreed very much.But on the other hand, without him cooperating with Daniel on the board of directors, it would be impossible for Daniel to do so many things that harm the interests of the company, and finally to the point where no one else on the board of directors can bear it.

Joy strongly disagreed with what Lawrence and Ward said, and she said unceremoniously: "Danny may have caused the company to lose a little money. He has improved the public image of the Rand Group, which is enough to make up for his lack of respect for the company. The company loses, and the stock goes back up."

"But I bought a warehouse and a dock without a clear reason, and I still refuse to settle the class action!" Lawrence's eyes fell on Ward, and he looked at Ward, who was a little uneasy, and said: "This is already Repeatedly, there is no room for negotiation in this agreement, you all have to sign, otherwise you will get nothing."

"Ward, do you want to join the discussion?" Joy also noticed Ward's distraction, and she had to push him.But except for Ward's light response, the whole person seemed to have no soul, and his thoughts were completely offline, making Joey couldn't help but wonder if he was taking du again.

At this time, Lawrence was overjoyed, and immediately said: "I told you, you all have to sign, otherwise the discussion will be avoided."

"Do you have a pen?" Sure enough, the distraught Ward suddenly raised his head and said this to Lawrence, which stunned the other two.

Lawrence immediately took out the pen from his pocket and wanted to hand it over, but Joey just reached out to stop him, and then said to Lawrence, "Can you give us a little time, we need to discuss it."

Lawrence smiled softly, put the pen back in his hand, and said indifferently, "Take your time, we have plenty of time."

Standing up, Lawrence left the conference room directly. At this time, Joey finally couldn't help turning around and looking at Ward, and said angrily, "'Do you have a pen?' Ward, what on earth did you do? What's going on?"

"I don't think pencils have the force of law." Ward turned his head to look at Joey indifferently, his attitude was self-evident.

Joey looked at Ward in disbelief: "How can you... How can you sign without considering me to discuss it!"

"Our options are gold insurance or nothing." Ward said, frowning. "The decision seems obvious."

"How much medicine did you take today?" Joy gritted her teeth and said these words in a low voice. Her heart really hurt for a moment.

"Is it really hard for you to believe that I don't mind?" Ward sighed, and looked up at his sister. You must know that he wanted to quit the Rand Group not once or twice. He and Joey took every opportunity carefully. He discussed this matter, but Joey kept stopping him.

Joey also stared closely at Ward, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, yes. Not long ago, you wanted to prevent Danny from controlling the company like a madman."

"You know what, Joey!" Ward said, reaching out and taking his sister's hand, "I've been thinking a lot lately about the last summer we spent with Dad in the Hamptons. Do you remember? You said you What do you want to do when you grow up?"

Hearing Ward mention the past, Joey couldn't help but soften his tone and said, "What does that have to do with today's events?"

"Horse?" Ward couldn't help smiling, and said, "You've been talking non-stop, and I sometimes think that if Dad didn't tie our inheritance rights to the work of the Rand Group, maybe you would now I'm running a horse farm."

"I won't." Joey shook his head and sighed, "I was only 12 years old at the time, and that was just a stupid daydream."

"Maybe, but that's your daydream, not Dad's!" Ward patted the back of Joey's hand and said with emotion: "This is our chance, not to live the life he appointed for us, to write our own fate."

But Dad is still alive, at least Joey thinks so now.Close at hand, Joy stared into Ward's eyes. She didn't know how Harold would deal with this matter, but from her own point of view, she was absolutely unwilling to give up.

She nodded and said, "I admit that working at the RAND Group was not my first choice. I had just left law school at the time, and no one here looked up to me, and they have the right to do that. This job is right for me and not for you. So easy to pick up. So I worked my ass off to get to know the business, and then I earned the respect of my colleagues. Yeah, part of me wanted to stay because of the connection to Dad, and part of me wanted to stay because of me Own."

Joey slowly withdrew his hand, stood up and looked at Ward, and then said with a look of resentment: "Because of my achievements, I have won my position, I won't just let go, I won't just let it go." Give up so easily."

"Joy, we can't win." Ward couldn't help but smiled wryly. What Lawrence did was all within the scope stipulated by the Listed Company Law. It is impossible for the two of them to come back. Wait until the next general meeting of shareholders to find a way to deal with these people, not now.

"Maybe not." Joy looked at Ward who stood up, bit her lips, and had the urge to say something, but she still suppressed herself forcefully, and said with a little reminder: "If I can think Come up with a good strategy, are you willing to at least think about it?"
