After dealing with matters related to Feng Kezhi, Tang Mo sent Roger and Loew away, and then he went to another conference room, where there was a middle-aged man waiting for him.
This middle-aged man was very well-behaved. He didn't even lean on the backrest behind him when he was sitting on the sofa. He just leaned there and waited. When he saw Tang Mo enter the door, he immediately stood up.
"Sit!" Tang Mo pressed down casually with his hand. Weiss, who was almost inseparable from Tang Mo, walked to the wine cabinet, opened the door and took out a bottle of good wine.
Tang Mo's two guards who had been guarding the room turned around and walked out, turning back and closing the door. Suddenly there were only three people left in the room, one was sitting on the sofa very reservedly, the other was standing next to the wine cabinet pouring wine... Tang Mo sat opposite the middle-aged man.
"I heard that you are here on behalf of the Cyric Consortium?" Tang Mo crossed his legs and looked at the other party and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, on behalf of the directors of Cyric, I am here to discuss the possibility of cooperation with you, the distinguished one." The man immediately replied.
"Cooperating with Datang Group?" Tang Mo asked puzzledly.
"Yes! Cooperation between Your Majesty, Cyric, and Datang Group." Cyric's representative nodded and replied.
Tang Mo laughed: "Ah, but you should go to the person in charge of Datang Group to discuss cooperation, right? Don't tell me that you can't find Harry..."
"In fact, this time, he may not really be able to make the decision." Cyric's representative forced a smile and said.
"Oh?" Tang Mo became interested.
Just listen to the Cyric representative continue: "The Cyric Consortium was established more than two hundred years ago. It was formerly a quarry. Later, after development, it began to develop iron tools for mining stones, and finally accidentally developed the flintlock. The organization began to turn into an arms consortium.”
"Because they were making money, many people later joined, including princes, nobles, and wealthy families... In short, many people became shareholders, and then gradually developed the board of directors, the chairman's decision-making body." The man did not say the reason for his visit, and began to talk. He kept introducing his company history.
Without pausing, he continued after introducing the development history of his company: "Now, the entire consortium owns more than thirty large shipyards and hundreds of factories that produce rifles. It can manufacture artillery of various calibers and has A complete industrial chain.”
This is definitely not bragging. The actual wealth owned by Cyric is still countless. Its huge foundation can be said to be no less than that of Datang Group.
The only difference is that Datang Group has technical advantages that Cyric cannot have, and these advantages make up for their lack of foundation.
But if implemented, the size of the Cyric Consortium, which owns a large number of mines, iron plants, arms production plants, and complete sales channels, cannot be ignored.
This is also the reason why they have always had the capital to fight against the Datang Group: it’s just that over the years, Cyric has failed again and again, severely wasting the capital they have.
"Is this a threat or showing off? You don't need to tell me this at all. I have investigated the Cyric Consortium and know exactly what you have and how much you have... So you'd better seize the time to get to the point. My time is limited. ." Tang Mo interrupted the other party and said directly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'll make a long story short...Chairman Sophia's wrong decision has pushed you and Cyric into opposites. This is irrational and bad." Cyric's representative quickly apologized: "We should not be enemies. , because our fundamental interests do not conflict."
"This is a new statement. You and I are originally competing for the same market. How can there be no conflict?" Tang Mo asked.
"In fact, many of our directors don't care about the market. All they care about is their own income. If their income can be guaranteed, or it is possible for them to earn more, they are willing to show their kindness. side,” Cyric’s representative explained.
"I probably understand..." Tang Mo nodded. He was a smart man, so he quickly understood the logic.
Previously, in the eyes of Cyric's shareholders, Datang Group was too weak, so they did not consider cooperation at all.
These people believe that as long as big shots like them move their fingers, the small Datang Group will be crushed into powder, without even the possibility of struggling. So they made a arrogant decision to use their own power to crush the Datang Group.
But it turned out that they were too naive. Datang Group was not as fragile as they thought, but it survived their crushing.
】
Moreover, as time went by, the dividends brought by technological advancement began to show, and the Datang Group became so popular that it even began to compete with the Cyric Consortium in many fields.
Originally, this situation should have caused many Cyric shareholders to consider cooperation or compromise as a retreat, but subsequent developments caused them to miss this opportunity.
Because of the emergence of the catfish of the Datang Group, weapons all over the world began to be updated. Due to the size of the Datang Group, there was no time to eat this huge cake.
Therefore, Cyric began to benefit at the same time. The large number of arms orders allowed Cyric to eat a big part of the huge cake. Although Datang Group made a lot of money, Cyric's market value was also soaring.
This is equivalent to saying that Datang Group has made the entire cake bigger, and Sirik actually ate more than half of it! Since they are making money and making more money, Cyric's shareholders are not so urgent to consider how to deal with the relationship with Datang Group.
However, with the end of the war against the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty won a great victory, and Cyric suffered heavy losses. Everyone had to start seriously thinking about their next step.
Are you kidding, are you still going against Datang Group? Why? How to do it right? Datang Group could use just a few random weapons to kill Cyric instantly in the arms market, and not even the dregs would be left.
It has huge production capacity and supports countless skilled workers, but it has completely fallen behind in technology and cannot catch up. Its current value is getting worse day by day.
Instead of completely failing in the competition and then becoming dilapidated and worthless, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity now and think carefully about how to make the Cyric shares in your hands play their final role. .
"The board of directors of the Cyric Foundation unanimously believed that the former chairman Sophia was not suitable for the position of chairman... Therefore, she was dismissed. Some of the shares of Cyric she held were frozen by the board of directors. She herself...has nothing to do with the Cyric Consortium." Cyric's representative was visibly relaxed after hearing Tang Mo say that he understood.
Tang Mo understood what he meant and did not end the conversation immediately, which showed that the matter was still feasible to a certain extent, so the purpose of his coming here can be said to have been achieved.
Now, what he said to Tang Mo was a statement to prove Cyric's sincerity: Sophia has broken off the relationship with Cyric. If Tang Guo wants revenge, just go to Sophia and kill her. I hope Rick pretended not to see it at all.
This is the same routine as Sofia's previous representative, Cyric, who betrayed the previous female director. It's so familiar that it makes people feel cold.
Tang Mo did send a telegram to Sophia, and he did have the idea of letting Sophia end it on her own. After all, at his position, he must have a temper, and Tang Mo would definitely be uncomfortable with Sophia's death.
You launched a war against me and wanted to fight me to the death. If you lose, can you just say I'm sorry and it will be over? Sorry, if it works, what do you need df-41 for?
Immediately afterwards, the representative from Cyric talked about the real purpose of his visit this time: "The directors of the Cyric consortium do not want their shares to shrink, so they hope that you... can bid to buy it. Sofia's frozen shares of Cyric...became Cyric's new, largest shareholder."
This is a good deal for Cyric's shareholders. They don't want Cyric's shares to become waste paper, so the best way is to get Cyric back on its feet.
Even if they sell Cyric's shares now, they are actually already a step too late: the anti-Tang war has been lost. Who would be interested in selling the shares of a company like Cyric now?
Those who are interested can't afford it, and those who are not interested will not buy it. Lowering the price is not cutting off the flesh, it is digging out the heart. You know, they paid a huge price for Cyric's shares. If you get it, no one will take it up for sale now, which means that the efforts of two or three generations over the decades have been wasted.
This is obviously not in everyone's interest, so selling shares is not a good option. The option that is more in line with their demands is: find someone to take over!
Find someone who is rich, capable, and able to develop Cyric again and make all their shares valuable again!
At worst, let this person eat meat and they can drink soup. As long as the soup is more nutritious than the meat in the past, rich and delicious, drinking soup is not an embarrassing thing.
"Everyone is here to make money... As long as everyone's interests can be guaranteed, Cyric is not willing to be your Majesty's enemy." Cyric's representative said.
"Then, I would like to know, what can I get from such an acquisition?" Tang Mo laughed. He was very familiar with business negotiations. After all, he had always done this before. So, he quickly grasped the point and asked his own question.
