My 1999

Antoine Freiro looked at the Courbevoie Building getting closer and closer outside the car window, and his eyes became more complicated.

"I didn't expect that Caesar Jin would become our boss."

"You don't want to?"

The middle-aged woman sitting next to him in a lavender women's business suit asked with a smile.

"It's just a little unexpected. It's also a good thing for us that Caesar Jin leads the Veolia Group."

The woman nodded and smiled.

"As we all know, Caesar Jin will not interfere in the daily management of the company, respects the management, and is very good at strategic planning at the industrial level.

Under his leadership, companies such as Hongmeng, Hanhua, Master Kong, and Taihua have developed very well. In just five or six years, they have become very influential giant companies in their respective fields."

Anthony smiled and nodded: "Many people think that the reason why these companies under his control can succeed is mainly due to Caesar Jin's abundant cash flow. If there is no money, he can't do what he is now."

"Anthony, money is the greatest and most outstanding ability."

Anthony Freiro was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"You are right, being able to make money is the greatest ability."

The laughter gradually subsided.

"Ster, are you optimistic about him?"

"Of course. With Caesar Jin taking over Veolia, I will have the opportunity to invest in Hanhua's funds at will.

Pacific Fund and Qinglong Private Equity Fund have too high returns.

In the past, we could only envy them, but now we finally have the opportunity."

Ster Berlino's eyes were filled with desire.

The biggest purpose of everyone coming out to work is to make money.

You can earn one income working at Veolia, and you can earn another income by investing in Hanhua.

Which worker would not think it's good to double their income in the same working time?

"But the debts of Christina Investment Company and Vidiwan are too high, reaching nearly 30 billion euros. If Veolia also joins, the company's stock price will at least fall by half, which seriously damages our interests."

As Veolia's CEO and COO, they both hold a certain amount of Veolia shares.

If the company's stock price falls, their interests will naturally be damaged.

"Anthony, you forgot one thing. Jin Caesar's greatest ability is his ability to make money. As long as this is not a problem, Vivendi Group's debt will not be a problem."

Ster looked at his partner beside him.

From the previous communication, it can be seen that he is more resistant to Xu Liang's acquisition of Veolia.

This is understandable.

It was not easy to become independent from Vidiwang and became the CEO in charge of Veolia's management power, NO1, the well-deserved boss.

Now suddenly a boss popped up in his head.

Although this boss doesn't manage things much, as the boss who controls nearly half of the company's shares and is still increasing his holdings.

His power inevitably slipped from the first to the second.

No one would like this change.

She can understand, but she will not agree.

She is just the chief operating officer of Veolia. From the second to the third, there is no change in what she manages, but the number of people reporting to one person has changed from one to two.

There is nothing unacceptable.

What's more, there is the investment opportunity of Hanhua.

After a moment of consideration, Stell Berlino spoke.

"Anthony, everyone is not opposed to joining Xu's, and even has some expectations.

After all, compared to the slight loss of power, making more money is everyone's main goal.

What do you think?"

Looking at the woman's deep blue eyes, Anthony is not a fool, and he can certainly hear that the other party is reminding him.

Don't go against everyone's will.

"Ster, I share the same interests with you and everyone else. You can rest assured that I fully respect your and everyone's decision."

Ster Berlino showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Anthony, if Jin Caesar interferes too much in the company's operations, I and everyone else will stand on your side."

"Then I have to say 'thank you' in advance."

Although he said so, Anthony didn't believe a word in his heart.

Jin Caesar is not an ordinary shareholder, but a controlling shareholder with a controlling stake of more than 45%, and is constantly moving towards 50%.

He has the ability to replace all management, including the CEO, at any time.

Of course, this will cause chaos in the company's management, cause certain damage to the company's culture, and lose some profits.

But this little bit of profit is a drop in the bucket for Caesar Jin, who is worth more than 40 billion US dollars.

"We are here."

The car stopped outside the Courbevoie Building, and the two got out quickly.

The secretaries in the two cars behind also hurriedly followed their respective bosses.

After entering the building, they went straight to the 15th floor.

As they came out of the elevator, a young woman with short hair, a white floral long-sleeved T-shirt and a black one-step skirt, and a capable temperament came up quickly.

The two people who had known Xu Liang for a long time certainly knew who this person was.

Anthony stretched out his right hand first.

"Hello, Miss Lu, I am Anthony Freiro, CEO of Vivendi."

"I am Stell Berleno, Chief Operating Officer of Veolia. Miss Lu, you are more beautiful than the rumors say, especially your skin, which is white and smooth. If you have the chance, please teach me some secrets of maintenance."

"Ms. Berleno, thank you for the compliment. If you are willing, we will keep in touch in the future."

After a few simple words, Lu Hui smiled and turned sideways.

"Please follow me, Mr. Xu is waiting for you in the office."

"Okay."

The group came to the end of the corridor, and Lu Hui knocked on the door and pushed it open.

"Please come in, both of you."

Anthony and Stel walked in.

A man in casual clothes, extremely strong and sturdy, stepped forward to greet them.

He had a messy hair, a smile on his square face, and his black eyes were sharp and deep.

As he walked over, he seemed like a tiger patrolling his territory after a full meal, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Anthony took a deep breath. He liked to exercise. He was 183 cm tall and felt that he was a strong man.

But compared with the man in front of him, he seemed to become slender.

The momentum was far worse.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he quickly stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Boss, I am Anthony Freiro."

"Hello, Boss, I am Stel Berleno."

After a simple greeting, "Please sit down."

Took the two to the sofa in the reception area and sat down.

"What would you like to drink, tea or coffee?"

"I'll drink tea." Anthony said hurriedly.

She looked at him with disdain. When he came, he had instigated her to oppose Jin Caesar, but now he looked so servile and fawning.

Cowardly.

She turned her head and smiled.

"Boss, I'll drink tea too."

Xu Liang smiled and poured two cups of tea for them.

"Thank you."

"I've read Veolia's financial statements in recent years. The company has developed well under your leadership. So I don't plan to interfere."

Anthony and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Boss, your business talent is recognized worldwide, especially in terms of corporate development strategy, so I think you should serve as the chairman of Veolia's board of directors.

With your guidance, the group will definitely develop better." Anthony said.

Xu Liang took a sip of the teacup and smiled, "Do you really think so?"

Meeting those eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Anthony was inexplicably panicked and hurriedly stepped back to say respectfully.

"Yes. Not only me, but also Ms. Berliano and all the management of Veolia think so."

Stelle Berliano beside him nodded in agreement.

He cursed Anthony's shamelessness in his heart.

He left her no room to express her loyalty.

"Forget it, I'm just a financial shareholder of Christina Investment Company. The real owner of the company is Ms. Christina Yeri, so I'm not suitable to be the chairman of Veolia's board of directors.

But don't worry, no matter who is the chairman of the board of directors, they will not interfere with your management of Veolia."

Xu Liang once again gave the two people a reassurance.

"There are two main reasons for calling you here this time.

The first thing is that Christina Investment Company is currently acquiring Veolia's shares and plans to increase Veolia's equity from 45% to 51%."

The two people's faces changed when they heard it.

They almost saw the company's market value collapse on the Paris and New York Stock Exchanges.

Xu Liang also noticed the expressions of the two people, but he didn't plan to change.

Increasing the equity is to put the Xu family's mark on Veolia.

Unless there are force majeure factors, it is impossible to give up.

"After the acquisition is completed, Veolia's equity may fluctuate. But you can rest assured that this impact will not last too long."

The meaningful words made all kinds of speculations pop up in the minds of the two.

Xu Liang did not intend to explain.

"After Veolia's acquisition, although Christina and I will not interfere in the management of the company, some necessary adjustments will still be made.

First, the company's chief financial officer and chief security officer will all be adjusted."

This is Xu Liang's habit after acquiring the company.

First, grasp the finances. Grasp the money and seize the initiative.

Because everything revolves around money.

The importance is beyond doubt.

And through financial audits, the various powers and loopholes within the company can be clarified.

Understanding these, it is better to adjust the personnel and systems of the entire Veolia Group.

The security department is naturally needless to say, mainly security guards.

Security guards are not only responsible for guarding the gate, but also for guarding the key departments of the company and maintaining the backend of the company's website.

Grasping this is equivalent to grasping the violent department.

In the future, when we need to take action, if someone wants to make trouble, we can quickly teach him a lesson.

First, grab the money, then grab the gun, this is Xu Liang's old trick.

Every time he enters a strange company, he does this.

Facts have proved that this is also the most effective method.

As for the former CFO of Veolia, of course he can't just let him go.

When he just entered a company, if his methods are too strong, it is easy to arouse everyone's disgust.

His idea is very simple, inducement and strengthening.

Use the shares of Pacific Fund, plus a little evidence of corruption, to put the other party idle.

Wait until the influence decreases, and then directly drive people away.
