The major shareholder is like this. He mortgaged his shares and various assets to the bank, and borrowed a huge amount of money to invest in the most advantageous projects of General Electric in the next 20 years.It can be said that if everything develops normally, these projects will bring him huge economic benefits, and maybe even double his net worth.
However, what happened in the stock market changed everything.His stock was falling in value so fast that he owed the bank a lot of money without even knowing it.If those projects are still in operation, then maybe the bank can give him some face and delay him to raise funds to pay back the money.
However, when the bank knows that those projects have died, it is almost impossible to generate benefits for him.I'm afraid they're going to turn against him at once.
There have never been many people in this world who have been forced to death by banks, and the rich are the best among them.It is almost impossible for the major shareholder to repay this huge debt. He has almost seen his end, and the assets in his hands are not enough for him to repay his debts, so in the end he was not kicked out, wandering and begging.Just jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's done.
This is not a situation he can accept. In fact, it is impossible for anyone to accept it calmly when faced with such a situation.So it is understandable that his mood began to become irritable and impermanent.
The sound of him beating and cursing could be heard from time to time in the study, and that kind of upbringing that was completely different from his usual upbringing made the servants in the whole mansion become cautious.They didn't know what happened, but they knew that they were in the middle of the wind and waves at this time.If you are not careful, it is likely to attract the anger of the owner of the house.Therefore, they had a very tacit understanding and chose to avoid their violent master at this time.
Of course, not everyone does this.For example, the old housekeeper in this family, he would not do this.Having served his master for many years, he knows his master very well, and he knows that he must be in trouble now, and in this case, maybe the call he just received can tell his master help.So knowing that now is not a good time to show his face, he knocked on the door tremblingly and said to the major shareholder.
"Sir, here's a call, I think you should listen to it."
"Get out, I'm not in the mood to talk to these guys who don't know where they came from. Also, don't bother me again. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you get out of this house immediately!"
The major shareholder yelled and cursed, and did not save the slightest bit of face for the old butler who had served him for more than ten years.This made the old butler turn pale, but he still dutifully said to the master he served.
"Sir, the call is from Mr. Harry Osborne, the chairman of the Osborne Group. He said that he has something important to talk to you about. I think this should help you in your current predicament. .so"
Hearing Harry's name, the major shareholder finally regained a bit of sanity.He took a breath and waved his old butler to go down.Then he hastily picked up the microphone on the desk and hurriedly called back.
Although he didn't know what Harry Osborn meant by calling him at this time, he knew very well that this might be the only turning point he could meet.No matter what it was for, he had no reason to let go of such an opportunity.Therefore, he had to call back this call.
After two beeps, a young man's voice came from the other end of the phone.Upon hearing this voice, the major shareholder immediately asked anxiously, even flatteringly.
"Mr. Harry Osborne? I'm Bob Jones, the chairman of General Electric. Did you contact me just now for something?"
"Mr. Jones? Yes, I was the one who called you just now. I hear you're in some serious trouble?"
When he got the call, Harry had a smile on his face that a hunter would have when he watched his prey slip into a trap.This put him in a good mood, and at the same time he started to ask questions unhurriedly.
"Just call me Bob. Yes, Mr. Osborne. To tell you the truth, I did encounter some troubles. But I don't understand. Does it have anything to do with you looking for me? There should be no relationship between us." There are too many intersections, and we may even say that we have never met."
Although he regarded Harry as his hope for survival, the major shareholder did not let go of his vigilance.He answered cautiously, in a way that immediately made Harry laugh.
"Sorry, Bob. Let's get straight to the point. I already know about the stock market, and I also know that General Electric doesn't have much ability to pass this severe test. Neither the government nor the consortium will It will help you too much. Because your opponent is someone they don't want to offend now. In other words, you have been given up, haven't you?"
Nakedly uncovering the scars of the major shareholder, this made him feel uncomfortable.And what embarrassed him the most was that the words came from Harry, a young man whose eyes hadn't even grown out.You know, before this, he never thought that Harry could have the qualifications to be equal to himself.It would be more or less the same if his father was here.And now, just because he inherited his father's inheritance, this brat dared to say such things in front of him.This made him feel uncomfortable immediately.
However, despite feeling uncomfortable, the major shareholder still has no plans to turn against Harry.He took a few deep breaths, suppressing the resentment in his heart.Then he spoke to Harry as calmly as possible.
"That's right. But I don't understand what it has to do with you. Mr. Osborne, you didn't call to talk nonsense with me, did you?"
"You're right, I really didn't want to talk nonsense to you."
Nodding his head, Harry straight to the point and said to the major shareholder.
"I'll tell you the truth, Bob. I've seen what's going on in the stock market. And right now, I've got a lot of cash in my hand. So you know what I mean? "
"You want to give GE a hand?"
Upon hearing this, the major shareholders were a little surprised.He had ignored what Harry had said about the problem of foresight, and was delighted to think he had met a good man.Unfortunately, Harry didn't think so.
"Are you kidding me? Why should I help General Electric? Can General Electric like this do me any good?"
"Then what do you mean?" The big shareholder, who was straight up and down in his heart, had no patience at this time, he frowned, and asked a little unhappy.Facing his question, Harry just answered with a smile.
"It's very simple, Bob. Although I don't want to help General Electric, I am willing to help you. I know that you hold shares in General Electric, and I also know the debt crisis you are facing now. In a word, 100 [-] million. All the shares will be transferred to me, and I will help you overcome this difficulty. How about it? Are you willing to make this deal with me?"
The first thousand 290 chapters seven haggling and gloating
100 billion, this is not a small number.But it is not a big number for major shareholders.In his heyday, the stock of General Electric he held in his hand was more than 100 billion, not to mention that he had other assets in his hand.
So this is taking advantage of the fire and taking advantage of him thoroughly.But at this special time, the major shareholder couldn't say no to it.
It is true that 100 billion is not much, but this 100 billion can just solve his urgent needs at this time.As long as he can get the 100 billion, plus the money he sells his assets, he can repay the debt owed by the bank.And as long as the bank's debt problem is resolved, he will still be a glamorous billionaire.
You don't need to go homeless to beg, and you don't need to jump on a taller building, it's all over.Although it is impossible to live the kind of powerful and aloof life like he did when he was at General Electric.But going to a remote place, buying a large ranch or fishing ground, and living a prosperous life is not a big problem.
It can be said that this 100 billion is very crucial, to the point of deciding the rest of his life.Faced with a transaction in such a place, although the major shareholders were angry and angry, they had to make calculations in their hearts.
There are not many choices left for him, or take over the money and get out of this maelstrom.Or just say no, and live and die with GE.Although the latter does not mean that there is no chance of a comeback, but that chance is too vague.After confirming that they will not get any help, the major shareholders have no hope at all whether other shareholders can find a solution.
So the choice is actually a very simple matter. Apart from the former, he doesn't think he has a better choice.It's just that for this price, he still has a little grudge in his heart.
He holds 20.00% of General Electric shares in his hand, which is equivalent to holding 500 billion in his hands when everything in General Electric is normal.You know, that is General Electric, one of the oldest diversified companies in the United States.From heavy industry to financial services, from medical imaging to electronics industry, its diversification has already been involved in all aspects.
A huge figure represents huge wealth, and the assets of General Electric have been entrenched in the forefront of the world's top [-] all year round.Moreover, it has many honors, such as the list of the world's [-] most respected companies, what is Fortune's most admired company in the world, what is the world's [-] most valuable brands, and so on.General Electric is almost always on the list, and at the top of the list.
It can be said that in this world, apart from superstar companies such as Stark, Corona, Osborne, and Apple, General Electric can definitely be called the one that is competing for the top spot.Under such circumstances, if such a thing hadn't happened, the stocks in the hands of major shareholders would definitely only rise but not fall.So naturally, he couldn't be satisfied with a figure like 100 billion.
At this moment, he felt that he needed a fair judgment, so immediately, he fought for Harry.
"Mr. Osborne, you are taking advantage of the fire. 100 billion? The stock in my hand is worth at least 500 billion. You should know that if it weren't for this sudden stock crisis, even if you really took 500 billion in front of me, And don't even think I'm going to agree to the deal. It's an opportunity, yes. But it doesn't mean you're going to get that big deal for free. There aren't that many good things in the world."
"120 billion, this is the highest price I can offer. If you disagree, then I can only say sorry for the deal between us."
Hearing what the major shareholders said, Harry knew that the deal between them had entered the most common bargaining link used by capitalists.To be honest, this link actually made him very impatient.He is more used to directly making a decision to do something, rather than haggling over something.So if possible, he really wants to hand over this kind of thing to more professional people.Unfortunately, however, this transaction is shady.Therefore, he had no choice but to come up with his own price tag, and very strongly expressed his willingness to continue bargaining like this.
He thought so, but unfortunately, the majority shareholder didn't think so.This is related to his happiness for the rest of his life, so he naturally wants to fight for more for himself.It was also because of this that although he could clearly see Harry's impatience, he still insisted on it.
"At least 300 billion. General Electric is worth this price, you know. This is just a turmoil in the stock market, and GE's production has not been affected in any way. As long as there are sufficient funds to support its operation, it will continue to grow Generate benefits for you. As long as you board for a while, as long as you survive this period of time, you are definitely worth the money."
"That's right, wait for a while." With a chuckle, Harry, who already didn't intend to save face for the major shareholder, just laughed at him. "When the bank declares you bankrupt and begins to forcibly deprive you of your property. And when you start auctioning off your mortgaged shares in the bank, I can indeed get what I want at a price worth the money. Mr. Jones , do you think I must be stupid when I'm young? 300 billion? With 300 billion I can get more things I want from the bank. Don't think you're the only one who holds GM shares. It's just that you have the most shares in your hand, so I will give you this opportunity. This doesn't mean that you can speak to me casually. Now you don't have this qualification at all. It's still the same In a word, 120 billion. I'll give you 2 minutes to think about it, if you don't want to, then we'll see you at the bank auction."
Speaking of such a point, there is no room for change.The major shareholder is very clear about this point. After all, it is he, not Harry, who is asking for help now, so in the end he can only sigh dejectedly, and then reply with a dejected face.
"Okay, just 120 billion. But I want cash!"
"Yes, tomorrow I will send my lawyer and representative to personally sign the relevant agreement with you at the general electric shareholder meeting. As soon as you sign, my funds will be transferred to your account immediately. In this case, you should have nothing Opinion." "Of course, it's settled. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go over to sign the contract with you."
After saying such a sentence in a mood that he didn't know, the major shareholder had already put down the phone.At this time, the most emotion in his heart was loss.Because he knew that when the call was over, he was about to lose his greatest wealth.
In any case, it has been decades since he took over GE stock.Such a long time is enough for him to develop a special emotion for General Electric.But now, I have to cut off this emotion with my own hands and entrust it to another person. It is impossible not to lose it.
However, in addition to being disappointed, he also inevitably felt a kind of rejoicing, even a trace of schadenfreude.
Fortunately, because he finally avoided a catastrophe in his life.When no one could help him, he unexpectedly got a chance to be redeemed.He even said that he had won more benefits for himself.Two billion more than the previous price, enough for him to buy a sprawling ranch in remote Montana.This is enough for him to enjoy his old age, and even for his descendants to have a wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation.
That's enough, that's enough.In any case, this is the best ending for him and their family.He has every reason to be thankful for this, and it really needs him to be thankful for a while.
Of course, being thankful didn't mean he went back to be grateful to Harry.In his eyes, Harry Osborn was still the villain who took advantage of the fire and made trouble.And it was precisely because of such a thought that he felt gloating about Harry's purchase of his own stock.
You know, General Electric at this time is a hot potato.Although it is true that they can get GM's shares at the lowest price at this time, it does not mean that they can really take advantage of GM's own right now.
In any case, there is still a terrible predator out there gazing at General Electric.Anyone who dares to take over at this time will inevitably have to deal with the predator on the opposite side.And judging from the aggression and appetite displayed by that predator, the result of this kind of dealings will definitely not be easy for people.
