Chapter 1294 Watching From the Sidelines the Final Way
"It's them, how could it be them?"
Upon receiving such news, the major shareholder of the company immediately muttered to himself. At this time, he seemed very flustered, because he found that he was facing an opponent that he could not deal with at all.
BOC and ICBC are the big banks in the country across the ocean. Although they are not too powerful to be incomprehensible on the surface, they have the support of the country behind them. And if that country is really behind them to make such an action, then they have no chance of winning at all.
You must know that before the drastic changes in the world, that country had already demonstrated its super economic strength, and even said that it already had the strength to catch up with the hegemony of the United States. After several changes and setbacks in the United States, that country has become the largest economy on the planet. No one can compare to the money in a single wheel. And it is precisely because of this that these major shareholders feel desperate.
Because no matter what they do, it is impossible to fight against such an enemy. Even if you try your best to fill this hole, it will be of no use. Because they know very well that if the country on the other side really makes up their minds, they have plenty of means to deal with themselves.
This will only be a beginning, not an end. It is impossible for an enemy who has shown such courage to give up halfway like this. The major shareholders are very clear about this, and they are even more aware that it is impossible for them to fight against such an enemy financially by relying on their own strength. Their enemy is the country, and the only thing that can stop them at this time is the power of the country.
After thinking about this, someone immediately made a suggestion with trembling.
"Let's report the matter to the White House. Although we have conflicts with the Stark government, this is our internal problem after all. Now that foreign forces have intervened, this is strictly speaking an infringement of our country's territory , they can't turn a blind eye to these things."
"Reporting to the White House, this is one way. You are right, the government should not be indifferent to this kind of state power interference. They will definitely try their best to stop this. As long as they can keep our enemies out of the country Besides, we're safe, they can't do that to us. That's right, that's it. I'm going to call the Department of Commerce!"
The suggestion just now was approved by many people, and the guy with the channel immediately took action and began to pick up the phone to contact the people from the government. It can be said that such an action at this time has become one of their few hopes, and facing such a hope, most people are looking forward to it.
They want to see the government do something, and they want to see the country on the other side face a defeat. Although most of them are well aware that the center of gravity of this world has been shifted there again,
But they didn't want to be led by the nose by the people over there.
They have been the protagonists of the world for so many years, and they certainly don't want to be the foil for others. A defeat is enough to suppress the opponent, and it is also enough for them to retain their last face. This is naturally the best result for them.
However, this result is only a delusion after all. After several phone calls, the shareholder who claimed to be well-connected immediately dropped the mobile phone in his hand, and then muttered and cursed.
At this time, everyone knew that something might go wrong. But no matter what, they still had some luck in their hearts. So at the moment, someone asked cautiously.
"How? What does the government say, are they willing to deal with those foreign forces?"
"The bastard in the Ministry of Commerce didn't say anything. I called the Secretary of State, but the Secretary of State said that this is a normal economic exchange between the two countries. You can't say that there is a problem with the other side just because we have suffered a loss. See what she means. Don't follow. Going to take care of it. Damn it, politicians who are sons of bitches!"
After receiving such news, many people couldn't help shouting at the government. However, yelling and scolding cannot solve the problem after all. When the government expressed its attitude of not intervening in it, they almost fell into despair completely. Because at this time, there is really no one who can help them.
A group of people just sat in the conference room and smoked, watching their property shrinking crazily. They made many comments, but few of them were useful. So in the end, until the stock exchange got off work, they didn't negotiate a charter at all.
The future looked bleak, and everyone was almost equally gloomy. Faced with such a situation, the major shareholder who holds the largest share suddenly became unhappy. He knew that if things went on like this, the hearts of the entire shareholders would be scattered. And by that time, even if General Electric is not acquired, it will definitely plummet into a miserable situation. And if that's the case, he must be the one who suffers the most.
Having been a rich man and a person in power all his life, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen, so even though he was full of resentment, he still forced himself to cheer up and said to the shareholders in the room.
"Gentlemen, things may not turn out as we expected. Tonight I will find a way to have a good chat with the gentlemen of the consortium and see if I can get some help from them. I think The gentlemen of the consortium will not be willing to see the country on the other side stretching out its hand here. So maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow we can meet some turning points."
"I hope. Your Excellency, let's stop here for today. We need to think about what to do next."
Although this is one person's answer, it is the thinking of most people. And this kind of thinking almost means that they already have the intention to quit in their hearts. As they said before, losing General Electric, although they also lost a lot of wealth, but this does not take away everything from them. They have other assets, and those assets are enough to maintain their glamorous life.
And if the enemy on the opposite side is annoyed by the General Electric matter, causing him to start an all-round attack here, they are not sure that the assets under them will not be reduced to the same level as General Electric . That is the fatal thing, so instead of continuing the confrontation like this, more people are just thinking about how to stop.
Whether it is to admit defeat to any country, or to sell the shares in their hands to others, this is their choice.
The major shareholder knows the little things in these people's hearts, because he may not have had such thoughts himself. But in the end, interests are still at work. If he does that, the interests he will lose will be too heavy, so he can't make the same choice as them anyway. This is why he has been jumping up and down to encourage other shareholders to persevere, because he knows that if these guys run away, he will be even less likely to be an opponent.
It can be said that at this time he almost pinned his last hope on the consortium. In order to get help from the consortium, he wrapped the best gift and drove to the Morgan family's mansion in person.
Although the Morgan family has long since ceased to be as prosperous as it used to be, it has begun to prosper abnormally during this period of time. He took back many shares in the company, and even said that he has a decisive force in the entire consortium. Although such a situation is not what many people would like to see, but since he has risen again, such a person can only hold his nose and admit it.
And now the idea of the shareholders is to get help from the Morgan family. Anyway, his reputation is here. The descendants of the founder of the Morgan consortium, coupled with his huge power today, are enough to give him a lot of voice in the entire consortium. And if he can get his help, then maybe he can have the hope of overcoming the current difficulties.
This is not an easy task, but it is also the only possibility he can think of. So in order to impress old Morgan, he sent over the best oil paintings in his collection.
One of Monet's water lilies, the major shareholder collected this treasure at a price of nearly 200 million, but now they want to give it away with a humble attitude. To be honest, he was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't do this at this time, what he lost would not be 200 million, but an empire of 200 billion. Faced with such a gap, even a fool would know how to choose.
The sincerity of the shareholders is still valuable. For the sake of this painting of water lilies, John Vince Morgan, who was originally unwilling to meet him, took time out of his busy schedule to meet him. He said a little bluntly.
"Sir, let's cut the long story short. I know that General Electric is in big trouble, and your market value has shrunk by at least half. From my point of view, you should try to get your market value back as soon as possible at this time. So I I don't understand, what are you looking for me at this time?"
"Mr. Morgan, I need your help."
Shareholders have to explain the situation they are facing and all their analysis as if they start pouring beans. Facing these things, old Morgan stroked his beard and suddenly laughed.
"Help, do you think I'll help you?"
"Your Excellency, you should help me. This is the evil method of the country on the other side. They put their hands on our plates by doing this. The Morgan consortium should not allow such a thing. It is against our interests. .After the first time, they might want to come for the second time. If you don’t repel them at this time, it will be too late later, won’t you?”
