Viacom has developed to this day, even if he is the founder, it is actually impossible to completely control such a large group.He has a lot of shares, but it is absolutely impossible to override other shareholders to decide the direction of the entire group, and at this moment, once some shareholders have begun to express their attitude clearly, his words will not Then there is the weight of the past.
"Wait, Mr. Redstone. We have no time to wait. Our losses are so great that our assets have already been affected. Instead of wasting time on this kind of waiting without any future, we I would rather make this deal now. At least by doing so, we can make up for our losses, and even say that we may still make a small profit."
Some people said such words, and naturally, some people followed suit.That's not one or two people saying that, but many people are saying that.And when these people gather together, the power they represent is enough to determine the future of the entire Viacom Group.
This is something Lei Shidong never thought about, he never thought that he would get such a complete betrayal at this time.This made his heart overflow with anger, and his rationality suffered waves of powerful shocks.
At this time, he really wanted to yell at these shareholders who disobeyed him, but his reason told him that he absolutely could not do so.
Doing so will only completely push these shareholders to the opposite side, and once they completely stand on the opposite side of themselves, then he will be even more powerless.At this time, he must obtain the support of most of the shareholders, and in order to obtain such support, he must promise them an absolutely achievable benefit as he did before.
This was not a problem in the past, because the world in the past was a gold mine, and a big capitalist like him could dig out a large piece of gold just by swinging a pickaxe.But now, the United States has become like this, and most companies can only protect themselves.Of course he couldn't do it to the extent that he had done in the past.
At this time, he could only simply promise a blank check.And can a blank check impress these old crafty guys?He knew the answer without even thinking about it.
Could it be that the painstaking efforts that I have worked so hard to create all my life will fall into the hands of others?As soon as this thought arose in his heart, it already made his whole heart chill.He absolutely cannot let things become like this, he absolutely cannot let his hard work fall into the hands of others.He had to stop all of this, he had to stop such horrible things.
But what should he do?Lei Shidong, who is over 80 years old, is an old man after all, his energy is not as good as before, and his brain is not as active as before.At such a time, he couldn't even think of a reasonable way to break the situation.However, he is the media emperor after all, he is the legendary figure after all.Even if the brain is not enough, but the experience and experience are enough to point him in the direction.
There is a saying that one must tie the bell to untie it.He knew that his current predicament in the board of directors was entirely caused by those shareholders who were against her.So if we want to open up the situation, I'm afraid we still have to exert our strength from these people.That shareholder, the guy representing the consortium that once invested in Viacom, is the direction that he needs to work hard.
Knowing this in his heart, he no longer cared about those hypocrisy at this time. He almost made it clear that the chariot was on his way, so he said to the guy who had been contradicting him all the time.
"Sir, I don't know what you or the people behind you think. But what I want to tell you is, don't fool me for a fool. Yes, the situation in the United States is very bad now, but like you A guy with billions of dollars will never go bankrupt because of such a little turmoil. This is not an excuse for you to fool me, nor is it an excuse for you to betray Viacom. What exactly do you want? , tell me, as long as I can afford it, I'll pay it to keep Viacom safe."
"Save Viacom? Mr. Redstone, don't you understand? We're doing this to make Viacom better."
With a meaningful smile on his face, the shareholder who had been singing the naysayer said so.
"The center of the world is no longer the United States. Whether we admit it or not, this will not change. As an American company, Viacom has almost established most of its market in the United States. This has been true in the past , is the foundation of his success. But now, all this will only become a drag on Viacom. If Viacom wants to develop, the best way is to open up the mainland market on the other side of the ocean. Of course, you and I both know, This is something we can’t do with our strength alone. The market determines its limitations. If we want to open up there, we must have a special opportunity. And now, this special opportunity has been placed on our hands So why don't we try to catch him as much as we can, instead of shutting him out as you said? This is not in our interest. Don't forget, we are capitalists, and capitalists should not Fight against your own interests!"
An extremely good reason came out of his mouth, but it made Lei Shidong even more angry.He admits that there is some truth to this sentence, but this is his enterprise, something he created by himself.Its future should not be decided by these so-called capitalists, but by himself.And it was impossible for him to accept such a decision.
"I said, what is the price? I would rather pay such a price than let you dominate Viacom's future. It is mine, and only I have this right."
"Why, do you think so?" With a sneer on his face, the shareholder said to him with disdain. "I'm sorry, Mr. Redstone. I don't think you can afford such a price. This is a joint decision of several major consortiums. We hope to use this opportunity to open the door of that country. You are chosen to be yours." Lucky. Of course, if you are not willing to accept this kind of luck, then I can only say that this will become your misfortune."
"The shareholders here are a testimony. You can ask them, are they willing to support you and stay on this broken ship that keeps them losing profits? Or are they willing to work with our consortium to open up a new century together? ?”
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The importance of the media emperor and the power of the consortium is a question that does not need to be answered for ordinary shareholders.
Because no matter how legendary Lei Shidong's body is, he is just one person.Even if it has created a worth of tens of billions of dollars, it is still not worth mentioning compared with the power of the consortium.Which of these big conglomerates in the United States is not a behemoth with a net worth of trillions? Standing with them, a mere media emperor is simply insignificant.
With such a gap, smart shareholders certainly know what choices they should make.Offending Lei Shidong, at most, is resented by him. An old man in his 80s can't do anything to them.But offending the consortium, the result is completely different.
The power of the consortium is enough to destroy everything they depend on for survival. They can drive themselves from the upper class of society to the lowest garbage dump of human beings just by moving their fingers.I didn't want to encounter such a thing, so immediately, the shareholders agreed one after another.
"If it's what the consortium means, of course we are willing to cooperate with the consortium. This is the most promising thing."
"The era that belonged to you Redstone has passed. What you should do now is to enjoy your old age, not to fight here. Listen to our advice, Mr. Redstone, it is time for you to let go of Viacom gone."
"Redstone, don't always take Viacom as your own. Although it is true that you created Viacom's glory. But today's Viacom is no longer your private property. .He belongs to all of us. We have the right to determine the future of Viacom."
It is a cruel thing for an old man to let go of the existence he has worked so hard to create all his life.But, as those shareholders say, Viacom is no longer his private property.If Viacom needs to grow, it must raise funds by selling its own shares.Over the past few decades, the shares in Redstone's hands have already fallen into the hands of these shareholders.Although he is still Viacom's largest shareholder, the shares in his hands are useless in the face of the joint efforts of other shareholders.
In the past, these shareholders were in a state of disunity, and they never reached a consensus.But now, under the pressure of the consortium, they directly twisted into one rope, which made Lei Shidong fall into despair in an instant.He has realized this cruel fact, and realized that he can no longer change the minds of these guys.This huge blow made the old man's heart boil immediately, and his whole body couldn't help trembling.
After all, he was too old. At such an age, he had already reached the time to ignore worldly affairs and enjoy his destiny in peace.But because of his inner spirit, he never regarded himself as an old man.From the age of 60 to the present, he has always been full of vigor, and he regards himself as a man in his prime.Although this kind of spirit is commendable, it can't change the fact that his body is already dying.
It is impossible for a person who is as old as him to be healthy.In particular, he himself is still short-tempered, and a short-tempered person will always have some diseases in his brain and blood vessels.So is he.With heart disease, he often carries special quick-acting medicines with him.So when his body was shaking, he couldn't help reaching into his pocket, and took out the medicine bottle tremblingly.
He wanted to temporarily suppress his symptoms, and then try to find a way to solve the problem in front of him.Then, just as he was thinking about it, the shareholder representing the consortium walked up to him quickly and snatched the medicine bottle from his hand.
"Mr. Lei Shidong, please respect us a little. The most important thing you should do at this time is to give us an answer, instead of delaying time by taking medicine like now. Everyone's time is precious, so your best Better give us an answer right away."
With those words on his lips, the representative of the consortium unceremoniously put away the medicine bottles in his hand.Seeing his actions like this, Lei Shidong immediately widened his eyes, pointed at his face tremblingly, and said to him gnashing his teeth in a trembling voice.
"You, how dare you"
"Why don't I dare, just because you are Lei Shidong?" Shaking his head, a disdainful smile appeared on the shareholder's face. "This name is not as deterrent as it used to be. Let me tell you this, Mr. Lei Shidong. This is an order from the top of the consortium. We have made up our minds to cooperate with the Chinese, which is related to the future development of the consortium. direction. So, you’d better not do the kind of things that the Chinese often say are overreaching. It won’t do you any good.”
Although "I" was in a persuasive tone, Lei Shidong could not be persuaded by such words at all.His heart was still full of anger, especially the action just now, which turned the anger in his heart into hatred.He is not very personable, otherwise it would be impossible for a person in his 80s to still have a violent temper.If this was normal, even if he didn't beat him up himself, he would definitely let the assistant bodyguards around him give him a good look.Unfortunately, at the current general meeting of shareholders, he can't do both.So he could only stare blankly and breathe heavily.
This is a way for normal people to soothe their emotions, but for him at the moment, this method can't play a big role.He has a heart attack. In such an emotional situation, the pressure on his heart vessels increases exponentially. Without the help of drugs, he simply cannot relieve the pressure in his heart.And his medicine is not in his hands at all now, so he can only endure the pressure of this heart disease, and under this pressure, he has a little bit of myocardial angina, and his face turns pale.
At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had reached a very dangerous stage.If you don't seek medical attention as soon as possible, something serious may happen.And in his capacity, no matter what problem arises, it will probably be a big news.
No one here wants to appear on the news for no reason, and no one wants to appear there with a negative identity.So immediately, someone wanted to do something, but at this moment, the shareholder representing the consortium glared at him and said a little rudely.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that phone calls are not allowed during our meetings?"
"But your Excellency, Mr. Lei Shidong's situation may be a bit bad. He should need medical assistance now."
Putting down the phone in his hand embarrassingly, the shareholder who originally wanted to call for help said so timidly.But upon hearing his words, the representative of the consortium twitched his mouth and sneered.
"It's not good? Which of your eyes sees that the situation is not good. Lei Shidong is just sulking, and maybe he is also suspected of putting on a pose. If this is not good, then can I say that I am terminally ill, We need your generosity to help us!"
Having said that, his face turned one side, and the expression of the whole person became fierce.And with such a vicious look on his face, he already warned sharply.
"Don't forget which side you're on. Think about that before you decide what you're going to do. Now is not the time to squander your compassion. When you do, you'd better Think clearly for me, do you have the ability to bear the final price! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" With a look of fear on his face, the shareholder who was flooded with sympathy for a while had already put down the phone in his hand.Seeing his actions like this, Lei Shidong, whose face had become very miserable, already had despair in his eyes.
He knew that he was finished.Because at this time, only he himself knows what kind of condition his body has become.He could hardly breathe, and dizziness and hallucinations began to appear in his mind.The colic in his heart became more and more severe, making his entire body uncontrollable.
At this time, he wanted to save himself, and wanted to use his last bit of strength to rush out from here to call for help.But before he could stand upright, the trance of consciousness and severe physical pain made him lose the strength to stand firm, and he fell limply all of a sudden.
And when he fell like this, the entire board of directors became silent.
Almost everyone showed surprise at the right time, because none of them thought that things would develop to this point so quickly.This made them feel deep fear in their hearts, towards the representative of the consortium, but also towards the power of the consortium itself.And at the same time of this kind of fear and panic, they couldn't help but put their doubtful eyes on the representative.
Lei Shidong has fallen, so the backbone here has become him.And what kind of method he will choose to use to deal with Lei Shidong at this time, this is the concern of all of them.
Let it go until his body cools.Although there is nothing wrong with this approach, it will inevitably make people feel that the cruelty is a bit too much.If the consortium uses this method to deal with Lei Shidong, then it may not use this method to deal with them.Although they are on the side of the consortium now, there is no guarantee that the consortium will not find them an eyesore in the future.And if the consortium chooses to deal with them in the same way, it would be too scary.
With such an idea in mind, the shareholders became somewhat insecure.And as if they knew what they were thinking, the representative of the consortium immediately opened his mouth and ordered them loudly.
"What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you see that Mr. Lei Shidong has passed out? Call the doctor quickly. Also, don't forget to reply to Mr. Wang and tell him that our board of directors has agreed to his acquisition proposal. I hope he can get along with him as soon as possible. We sign the contract."
"But, Mr. Redstone, he hasn't yet"
"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with Mr. Lei Shidong's family. I hope they can persuade this old guy. This is the last chance for him."
The first thousand and 310 chapters debunk the appearance and discuss cooperation
Viacom can give its own answer so quickly, which is something Wang Shoufu did not expect.In fact, from the very beginning, he felt that something was not quite right.
