death of hope

Chapter 301 "Corporate Warrior" (217) Negotiations went smoothly

"Grateful."

Maximilian bowed slightly to Matsushita Juhei with the etiquette of the Westerners,
This move released full of goodwill and respect. The old man looked very comfortable and enjoyed it, and immediately returned the gift.
The samurai of the Matsushita family looked a little calmer, except for the cyber warrior "Cold Steel" whose face was covered by the tengu mask, and he couldn't see any reaction.

"I accept your courtesy, but your uncles and aunts may be angry."

"They are far away, we can talk freely." Maximilian continued:
"To be honest, I envy you, Mr. Matsushita, the whole family, the whole company is gathered under the command of the Patriarch, what you say is what you say, there are no spitting arguments, and there is no execution.

Unlike me, a CEO who refuses to follow the old ways, refuses to copy the successful experience of his ancestors, and is a deviant CEO, it is difficult to gain the support of the majority within the board of directors. "

"Oh?"

"Presumably you have also learned through the media that McMillan's staff team is very dissatisfied with my three marriages. They think that I have shamed the Liechtenstein royal family and become a laughing stock of the entire Federation. Although the board members are my uncles and aunts, they look at me grow up.

But if I make a mistake in the company's important strategy, causing the stock price to plummet and affecting their interests, they will jointly impeach me without hesitation. "

"Don't talk about affection?"

"Don't tell me, my lineage is not the only one left in the royal family of Liechtenstein. How many relatives are looking forward to my downfall and waiting for the next position."

"It's not easy. The company is large in size, has a lot of people to support, and has too many responsibilities on its shoulders."

Matsushita Juhei spread his hands as if complaining: "Not only young people, but old people are also under pressure.

Especially in the past two years, the main business of Sakura Co., Ltd. has encountered bottlenecks, growth has slowed down, and there is a risk of reversing. To break the situation, we must first reduce costs.

The bulk of expenditure is political donations,
Those red party politicians are like a group of greedy, buzzing flies, asking for benefits every now and then. Sometimes, the old man really wants to send cyber ninjas to chop off all these maggots one by one, and stick their heads on the flagpole of the parliament, but it's a pity , that can only be just angry words. "

"However, the expenditure of political donations is increasing, and it is necessary to pay for the mansions and secretaries of politicians. I had similar thoughts.
But calm down and think about it, we still have to grit our teeth to feed these corrupt and greedy insects. Without them, we would have no voice in the Federal Parliament and let the Green Party slaughter us. "

"That's right, for the current plan, we can only earn political donations from other places. I think I am quite open-minded. I am not a stubborn old man. I will adopt the children's suggestions if they make sense.

You think that Sakura Co., Ltd. is the old man's words, but you have a big misunderstanding. In recent years, the business strategies have been set by the sons and grandchildren, and the old man is just behind the gate.

Conservative on the surface, do it for the red party to see, and secretly engage in some green party radical stuff through branch channels, such as new energy, financial products, Internet e-commerce, etc., all for it to do, it can’t be done Good, but not without.

There is no need to shirk and quibble, now all the companies of the Red Party and the Green Party faction do that, and McMillan is no exception, isn't it? "

"The way to run a business is to have no taboos for profit. It is too stupid to imprison yourself in a so-called conservative or radical birdcage. We can engage in new energy, and the Green Party can also dig oil. hanging from a tree."

"Yes, no one is a fool, and no one can stop the torrent of the times and technological innovation, just like how CDs replaced audio tapes back then, but we must ensure that our main business will not be affected."

"So, Mr. Maximilian, although our two companies are competitors in many fields, we have reached a consensus on this point. Traditional enterprises must transform, but they must be steady and steady.
We must never abandon the advantages of traditional industries. Industrial agriculture is the foundation. Only when we have enough food and clothing can we relax to listen to rock music and download some paid action movies online. Young people like to do this now, right? "

"Hahaha!" Maximilian was amused by the old man: "Mr. Matsushita, you are so humorous. If my pedantic uncles and aunts are half as enlightened as you, I will be very happy."

"I, I like to chat with young people, and chat with old guys who are dying. It can only become boring and dull. Let's talk about something practical, about the conflict between our two families."

As soon as the company's interests were involved, Maximilian immediately became serious, adjusted his tie, and sat upright:

"McMillan lost hundreds of millions, my drilling rig was destroyed, and engineers and skilled workers were killed or injured. If I hadn't tried my best to suppress the anger of the board members, a corporate war might have started."

"Many of my people were killed and injured. Two oil and gas exploration ships sank. My nephew Katsuo reported that it was your McMillan corporate fighters who first fired on our ship before we launched a retaliatory counterattack on the drilling platform."

"On the contrary, my people reported that we did not cross the line, and that without warning, heavily armed cyber ninjas descended onto the platform and shot at the workers, decapitated the engineer with a katana sword, and had to summon the Enterprise to survive. Soldiers defend themselves."

"This kind of armed friction, they all say that they are justified, and they all say that others made the first move. Discussion will become a stinky, long and meaningless debate."

"Then how do you solve it?"

"Before us, there are two ways to go. One is to start a full-scale war, and the other is to come up with a plan to compensate and reconcile."

"It is precisely to avoid the first situation that I decided to come here to meet with you. The consequences of the corporate war are something none of us can afford."

"From my point of view, I'm afraid someone is instigating behind this."

"Who? Could it be the Waterman Group?"

"I don't know, our conflict is inseparable from the governor of that planet. The demarcation line for resource exploitation is extremely blurred. If we accidentally shoot a gun, if we can sign a contract, we can avoid the risk of war. "

"What contract? Joint development of oil and gas resources?"

"Not only oil and gas resources, but also other local businesses, the joint strength is enough to make those who instigate us quit.

We have an old saying that the snipe and the clam fight each other for the fisherman's profit, and we fight vigorously, allowing outsiders to take advantage of it. As a show of sincerity, Sakura Co., Ltd. is willing to pay for the loss of the drilling platform and personnel. "

"Then what else can I say?" Maximilian held out his hand: "I agree to joint development."

The two shook hands, and the murderous aura permeating the arbor was reduced by half, but Lynch still had his insurance on, and no one could be trusted in a war, and the same was true for business negotiations.

"Hahaha! If we could meet earlier, we could avoid a lot of losses."

"But, the subordinates are making noise for half a month, it's not as good as saying a word to the family."

"Communication, we must maintain communication. If there are conflicts and do not speak out, big trouble will happen."
