After Guo Siyue left the Municipal First Hospital, she first went to the headquarters building of Galaxy Group to meet with Group CEO Watson.
Later, in Watson's office, he took several of Watson's red landlines and made a call, summoning the heads of member companies under the Galaxy Group to Shanghai for a meeting.
Nowadays, with the popularity of mobile phones, CEOs still like to place a few landline phones on their desks. Mainly because it is very convenient to make phone calls. At the same time, there is a certain degree of confidentiality.
Watson was forty-nine years old, slightly slim and tall. There is determination in the delicate face. A calm, reserved middle-aged handsome guy. At this time, his face was full of fatigue, and his voice was hoarse as he said: "Alice, thank you for your hard work."
As the CEO of Galaxy Group, he has been under great pressure recently.
Guo Siyue sighed: "I should do it."
That evening, the bosses of more than 20 companies related to the Galaxy Group, such as Hu Zhi Media, Ronghe Group, Haiyi Group, Jincheng Real Estate, Yintian Group, Haotian Pictures, Jinghai Real Estate, etc., gathered at the Galaxy Group In the large conference room on the 20th floor of the headquarters building.
Ren Zhi, Ren Pai, Cheng Herong, Xi Wenbin, An Xiaoqian, Wu Mian, Hu Suming, Zhu Fen and others sat around the oval conference table. Juniors such as Wu Jie, Hua Shan, Ren Chao and others were sitting in the back row to listen to the meeting.
Everyone was looking at Guo Siyue. The current situation of the Galaxy Group is "an existential crisis." However, Ren He, the leader of the Galaxy Group, is still hospitalized and is unable to perform high-intensity mental work.
The second in command of the group, Guo Siyue, has recently stepped forward to stabilize the situation, and everyone hopes that she can lead the group out of trouble.
Seeing the attentive glances, Guo Siyue felt even more tired.
In 1995, Barings Bank suffered a loss of US$1 billion due to the operations of its subordinate Jason, and the century-old bank collapsed.
When Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in 2008, what were their losses then? It lost $3.9 billion in the second quarter.
Galaxy Group has now lost 31 billion in cash, equivalent to approximately US$4.5 billion. The situation is critical.
Guo Siyue sat in the main seat, looking around with a pair of bright eyes, and spoke slowly and in a heavy tone, "The group's current liquidity is almost dry, and it is facing fierce competition from the Phoenix Group in all directions.
Therefore, the group decided to shrink its business and sell a number of non-core assets as soon as possible in order to tide over the current difficulties.
This major business adjustment is expected to take two years. It is planned to abandon the business and assets in Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, and South Asia. Some domestic sunset industries and non-key businesses will also be sold. To ensure that the group's capital chain is not broken and to reduce debt as much as possible.
In view of the current situation, the group holds shares ranging from 10% to 20% in each company and is willing to make bids to repurchase them. You can talk to me after the meeting. The group will give a reasonable repurchase price. However, I ask for cash. "
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became extremely heavy.
An emotional boss stood up and asked in a choked voice: "Mr. Guo, do you really want to go to this point?"
The organizational structure of Galaxy Group is similar to that of the National Posture Committee. Divided into two categories. One is a directly affiliated enterprise? The other is an enterprise that holds part of the equity. Companies such as Haiyi Group and Ronghe Group fall into the second category.
Guo Siyue's approach is to "survive with broken arms" and "slim down", which at the same time pushes away the member companies of the Galaxy Group. Everyone is responsible for life and death.
In a word: the birds and beasts disperse!
Guo Siyue pursed her lips and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I have no choice!" Galaxy Group couldn't take care of itself. How could it care about the life and death of its member companies? Her primary goal now is to collect funds and reduce debt.
Conference room? I don’t know who cried out. The atmosphere is not only heavy, but also a bit desolate.
The meeting didn't last long? It ended in two hours. Guo Siyue stood in front of the window of the conference room, drinking the warm water handed by her assistant, feeling unspeakable. The vast, deep night shrouded the earth, as well as the rushing Huangpu River.
The headquarters of Galaxy Group is in the magical city of Pudong. The landmark headquarters building towers into the clouds and is well-known at home and abroad.
At this time, An Xiaoqian, who was left alone, stood beside her. She and Guo Siyue were old acquaintances and had old grudges.
Guo Siyue had a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't put them into words. He chanted softly: "Seeing him building a Zhulou, watching him entertaining guests, watching his building collapse!"
…
…
The lake is sparkling. Layers of water waves rippled with the wind. The sun is like jumping on the water. Weekend afternoon? The scenery is stunning.
This is Chongming Island, a good place for citizens of Shanghai to come for leisure and tourism.
Jing Gao and the twenty-seven Phoenix Group executives who attended China Europe Business School, plus the group executives he invited, were hanging out casually in the "Suiyu Villa" or finding a place to chat in twos and threes.
The list includes: Guan Yujia, Cao Danqing, Qiao Shuang, Dong Youwei, Cheng Yu, Liu Sumei, Yu Jiashi, Jiang Zi, Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, Guo Lingyu, Wei Chenjun, Liu Zhen, Guo Pojun, An Zhiwen, Xie Wangzhen , Shen Jinyuan, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, Han Wenguang, Zuo Hao, Fu Ye, Yin Jian, Li Wei and others.
Jing Gao previously helped Wang Hanjun register for China Europe Business School. Today she called Gu Xixi and Zhang Li who were already working in the Phoenix Group. Both of them work in the secretarial team under Jiang Zi, and their new colleague Chen Qingshuang was also invited.
"Suiyu Villa" is a farmhouse-style manor on the island, covering an area of more than ten acres and hidden among the lakes and mountains. There are green farmed chickens and ducks, organic vegetables, etc. There are patches of woods, creeks and ponds. There is the joy of farm life, but also modern convenience and enjoyment.
This villa is only open to friends, and a lot of thought has been put into its operation. Very popular among professional elites in the city.
After lunch, Jing Gao drank tea with his old acquaintances Guan Yujia, Qiao Shuang, Yu Jiashi, An Zhiwen, Li Wei, Wu Jingshu, and Li Yifeng in the Chinese-style corridor on the hillside of the villa.
As far as the eye can see, there are lush woods and lakes in the distance. It’s really a great place for vacation and relaxation, it’s so refreshing!
Yu Jiashi leaned on the railing, the breeze blowing his shirt, making him feel energetic and happy, and said: "Brother Jing, I heard that old boy Ren He is huddled in the first courtyard of the city, shameless to see anyone. Moreover, Yinhe The group is shrinking significantly and selling off. Haha! If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
Jing Gao was very relaxed, sitting casually in the wooden chair, smiling and waving his hands, "We won't talk about this today."
Yu Jiashi chuckled and nodded. In fact, today is the "celebration banquet" of the Phoenix Group. It’s just that Brother Jing didn’t say it clearly. Now, the situation is very different from before! Not just no pressure at all, but pursuit.
Guan Yujia stood up to add tea to Jing Gao. She was a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure and unprovoked amorous feelings. He said softly: "Brother Jing, what should we do with Pei Qingrong? I'll ask the Integrity and Compliance Department to investigate him."
Jing Gao stretched out his hand to support the teapot, indicating that it was okay, and said: "Ask Jiang Zi to send someone to check. Follow the legal procedures. The mobile phone and film and television businesses give me a headache! Lao An, how is Professor Zhao's health? ?”
An Zhiwen smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, don't mention this. My dad pretended to be sick and hid in the hospital because of Liao Rong's affairs. As a result, he stayed in the hospital for a week, but the problem was actually found. Now he goes there regularly Hospital check-up.”
Then he smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, my dad saw the video I showed him on March 8 a few days ago, and he praised you as a copycat version of Zhuge Wuhou. Mr. Ren is an enhanced version of Wang Lang!" "
Jing Gao laughed and said: "Haha, Professor Zhao's allusion is inappropriate. Zhuge Liang and I are far behind in our talking skills. I have to go to the city hall tomorrow and return to the capital the day after tomorrow. By then, I will go see Professor Zhao .”
Professor Zhao was heartbroken by Ren He. Wang Lang mostly just defected to Cao Wei.
During this time, Li Yifeng presided over the construction of the "Shan Hai Jing Semiconductor Research Institute" in the magical city of Qingpu. He still looked chubby and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, speaking of which, Pei Qingrong was able to join the company because I was the HR manager at the time. responsibility."
Jing Gao laughed and said, "Old Li, you have nothing to do with this. If we really investigate, I, Liu Sumei, and Xiao Qiao are all responsible. So, we won't talk about it today. Everyone looks at the beautiful scenery here and enjoys your free time!"
Guan Yujia, Qiao Shuang, Yu Jiashi, An Zhiwen, Li Wei, Wu Jingshu, and Li Yifeng all laughed.
Drink tea or enjoy the scenery separately, and the beautiful scenery around you comes to your eyes.
I brought a hundred couples with me to travel and recall the glorious past.
Then, let me ask again, whose family rules the world in today’s realm?
Phoenix!
…
…
At about nine o'clock in the morning on Monday, Ren Zhi and Hua Shan went to the city government building to do some errands. The two of them registered at the doorman and walked into the lobby on the first floor. He met Jing Gao walking towards him with a beautiful female assistant.
Hua Shan pulled Ren Zhi, who was slightly stunned, not to be impulsive. This is really a narrow road between enemies. Coincidentally.
Ren Zhi is twenty-four years old and wearing a suit. She has a fair and clean appearance, and has always been elegant and smart. At this moment, the circles under his eyes were a little dark, and he was obviously tired. He no longer had the indifference of the past, but actually had an extremely proud temperament inside.
Ren Zhi's eyes met with Jing Gao's, and he had mixed feelings for a moment. He recalled the first time he met Jing Gao at home, and Jing Gao humbly asked his father for advice.
Recalling that when he sent Jing Gao out, Yun Danfengqing warned him not to provoke his sister-in-law and left him at the door with contempt.
I remember when Xie Shihuang coordinated the truce and merger between Didi and Uber in the Magic City, Jing Gao turned his face and pointed at his anger.
I remember Jing Gao's toughness when he and his father were completely at odds with each other at the Xiangshan Club in November last year.
I remembered the scene in the short video of Jing Gao speaking heart-wrenching words to his father. In the end, his father scolded him so much that his blood pressure rose, his cerebral blood vessels ruptured, and he fell to the ground.
Scenes of scenes flashed through my mind.
How could Ren Zhi not hate him in his heart? How could I be willing to do so, but at this moment my heart was filled with an unspeakable sense of powerlessness! What can he do?
Ren Zhi looked at Dejing Gao walking over: he was tall, and he and Hua Shan stepped aside.
Hua Shan showed a smile. On March 8, she even scolded Jing Gao in person. Looking back now, I feel like I'm sweating on my back.
Jing Gao glanced at Ren Zhi's face, paused for two seconds, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Maybe it was disdain, maybe it was sarcasm. Who knows? Without saying a word, he led Cheng Yu away from the door of the hall.
Outside the city hall building, the spring scenery was beautiful. A new picture of the era is slowly unfolding.
