Nino 9 at a.m. local time.

In the Cornerstone 5 Industrial Space City, Milton, the former president of Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company, stood in front of the headquarters building and watched as the 'Poseidon Company' logo was closed and taken down.

Immediately afterwards, several spider-like orange-yellow engineering robots installed a set of holographic LOGO bases on the wall in front of the company building.

When the circuit is connected and all components have been inspected, the on-site hoisting command '3! 2! 1! After the countdown ended, the holographic projection device was activated, and several huge geometric LOGOs appeared outside the walls of the building.

"ATLAS"

The former helmsman of Poseidon Shipbuilding looked a little lonely in his tone as he looked at the new logo that lit up.

Time goes back to some time ago.
After some initial contacts, the company named Atlas expressed its willingness to acquire the entire assets of Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company.

To be honest, the entire top management of Poseidon Shipbuilding was confused at that time.

Especially after they investigated Atlas and found out that it was a multi-star enterprise with businesses involving heavy industry, mining, defense contracting, and equipment manufacturing, they felt even more unbelievable.

In response to this question, Nick Leeson, who was responsible for the acquisition at Atlas, did not say anything and just responded with a mysterious smile.

But now, not only has there been an intersection, the other party even wants to acquire their company on very favorable terms.

During a certain negotiation, the vice president of Poseidon Shipbuilding couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked:
"I would like to ask, what kind of virtues and abilities does our company have to attract your attention? Your sudden proposal to acquire us really makes us feel unsure."

"There's no special reason. It's just that our chairman likes your company better."

Although the name of their company looks very domineering, in fact, until now, the company's main business has only been the manufacturing of various cargo ships.

Obviously, everyone at Poseidon Shipbuilding didn't quite believe his answer.

In addition, Atlas has now also developed the capital ship construction business, so it really needs to acquire a shipbuilding company as a basis.

The two companies can be said to be in two completely different worlds, and theoretically there is no chance of intersection.

In fact, Nick Leeson was indeed telling the truth. Amber did take a fancy to the future of the Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company. One of the unknown design teams of this company came up with several projects that 'amazed everyone' battleship design plan.

We still don’t know under what circumstances several cargo ship designers began to design the capital ship, but the fact is that they did design it.
Moreover, according to the early secret investigation of the acquisition team, this design team has already produced a blueprint of a battleship in their spare time. All the main design indicators are exactly the same as Amber's impression.

However, they did not dwell too much on these aspects. After confirming that Atlas was not a leather company or a fraud group, they agreed to advance the acquisition to the next step.

For 'Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company', being acquired by a large company is definitely a good thing. After the capital injection, the company's production line can also be upgraded, and in terms of business development, Atlas Group's resources are obviously much richer than them.

But soon, these company executives were no longer happy. Because the acquisition team headed by Nick Leeson put forward a prerequisite for the acquisition
That is, all company executives, including President Milton, will retire early.

Middle and low-level administrative and clerical positions will also be abolished. For employees in these positions, Atlas also gives them two options: "transfer to technical positions" and "get N+5 and leave".

"Gentlemen, are you serious? How will the entire company run if so many civilian positions are eliminated?"

The chief human resources director raised this issue during the communication meeting.

"You don't need to worry about this. We at Atlas Group have sufficient experience in this area. Eliminating these bloated departments will only greatly improve the company's operating efficiency."

Nick Leeson answered with a professional smile.

After being released from prison and joining Atlas, the former economic prisoner felt that he had started a second life. The group's various treatment and reward and punishment systems were almost perfect. More importantly, he felt that he was learning new things every day. thing.

After spending some time in the financial business department, he found that everyone there was talented and spoke well.
Because of this, after Amber gave him the task of acquiring the Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company, Nick Leeson immediately vowed in his heart to complete the task perfectly.

So now when facing the senior leaders of Poseidon Shipbuilding Company, he responded in his best condition.

"This is Mr. Nelson." Nick Leeson glanced at the work badge on the chest of the human resources director and said:

"I believe that what you are concerned about is not the staff in these administrative positions, but what you have in mind about the arrangements for you senior managers, right?"

After seeing the expression on the other person's face, Nick Leeson smiled and continued:
"Mr. Nelson and everyone here, please don't be too greedy. I believe that other companies will never be able to come up with the compensation plan we have given.

The money you have got is enough to buy a few small islands on a certain planet and live a life of "human superiority". It is more than enough to have a few second- and third-tier celebrities accompany you every year. You even have spare money for investment and financial management to ensure your safety. the rest of your life.
So what else do you have to be dissatisfied with? "

"But this Poseidon shipbuilding company is our lifelong efforts! How can it be so easily measured by money!"

The human resources director said with some dissatisfaction after hearing what Nick Leeson said.

"really?"

Nick Leeson had a playful smile on his face.

"Let's do this, I'll open a secret vote, and you can send your choices via anonymous email within 20 minutes, telling me whether you want to take the money and leave, or to protect your 'lifelong efforts.' Continue to struggle with us.”

Nick Leeson also specially emphasized the pronunciation of the words 'lifelong effort'.

"By the way, you must not have any psychological pressure, or think that dragging into a 'protracted war' means victory. The plan I am giving now is definitely a fair one for both parties. If you insist on continuing the stalemate, We at Atlas Group also have considerable experience in 'compulsory acquisitions'."
