Chapter 1310 Debunking the appearance and discussing cooperation
Viacom was able to give his own answer so quickly, which was something that the richest man in Wang did not expect. In fact, from the beginning, he felt something was wrong.
It was obvious that the other party was very resistant at the beginning, and even began to use some evil means to hype it up in the media. But in less than half a day, everything stopped. Even the Viacom board of directors heard news that made him happy. Although this was a good thing, it inevitably made him feel strange, because he knew very well that this group of Americans would definitely not have the awareness of being in the Red Army.
What made these Americans change their attitude in such a short time and open the door to greet themselves? The richest man Wang couldn't figure it out. Although he suspected that all this might have some connection with the Stark administration, he gave up this unrealistic idea after thinking about it.
The United States is not a domestic government. If it is the domestic government's statement, it is not surprising that such things will happen. Because of the national conditions in China, as a country where the people are in charge of their own country, it is impossible to let a group of capitalists climb onto the head of the government. But the United States is different. Their government does not have this authority at all.
Not to mention capitalists, even those entertainment stars always make fun of the US government. The government may have the right to speak out, but it absolutely has no ability to make capitalists give up their interests. Especially these interests are their reasonable and legal possessions.
So, this will definitely not be the work of the Stark government, so who will it be? With such a question in mind, the richest man Wang had already come directly to the headquarters building of Viacom Group.
Viacom has already given him an answer, so he knows that he can get the answer by just having a face-to-face communication. Since the answer is right in front of him, there is really no need to waste the effort to guess. Action is actually the best solution.
The richest man Wang had already taken action. Before the action, he had made many ideas. In his opinion, what would appear in front of him would not be a complete board of directors, but a legendary figure like Lei Shidong. Because only his existence could cross the board of directors to represent the entire Viacom.
However, the result of the matter was beyond his expectations. Because he did not see Lei Shidong at all, nor did he see anyone else. All he saw was a middle-aged man, a guy he never knew.
As the acquirer, Wang Shunfu had done enough knowledge of Viacom in advance. He knew what Lei Shidong looked like and what the company’s CEO looked like. He even knew some important management teams. But even though he knew so much, he still couldn’t recognize who the guy in front of him was. This surprised him, and the expression on his face became weird.
"Who are you? Isn't this Viacom's board of directors?"
"Of course, Mr. Wang. Let me introduce myself. I am Kovin, a shareholder of the board of directors of Viacom, and also a representative of all shareholders of Viacom. Today I will represent the shareholders of the entire group to sign an acquisition contract with you. I have obtained their authorization, so you can rest assured."
The guy who claimed to be Kowen, the representative of the consortium in Viacomri, used the name of the consortium to obtain authorization from almost all shareholders, so he is naturally the only one here at the moment. However, although he had made such a statement, the richest man in Wang still didn't believe him very much. This made him almost face this guy named Kowen with a scrutiny attitude. Not only did he completely ignore his outstretched hand, but he even asked him with a suspicion.
"You? Are you qualified? Where is Lei Shidong? Wouldn't he be the general representative?"
When he heard that the richest man Wang pulled Lei Shidong's body as soon as he opened, Ke Wen's face suddenly changed. Obviously, he was already angry. However, although he was angry, he did not clearly express this mentality on his face. Because he knew that the richest man Wang and Lei Shidong were different.
Lei Shidong represents the past. Although he has been brilliant, he has only been brilliant in the past. Now he is old and destined to be eliminated by the times. Naturally, he has no reason to give him any face. After all, he represents a consortium, and the power of the consortium is far stronger than Lei Shidong. If it were the peak period of Lei Shidong, the consortium might give him some face for the sake of interests. In that case, people like him would never dare to be too rash. But now, he really has no reason to do so.
This is also why he was so cruel and even forced Lei Shidong to death before. All of this is because Lei Shidong has no value to the consortium.
The richest man in Wang is different. You should know that in the eyes of the consortium, Wang is a big gold mine, which represents the present and future of the consortium. It is the focus of their entire strategic development in the future. It can be said that if there is a conflict with such a person, the consortium will definitely give up on him without hesitation. Once he is given up by the consortium, everything he has will be lost.
Of course, Ke Wen is not the kind of idiot who is full of clumsy in his mind. In fact, on the contrary, he can definitely be called a smart person. As a smart person, he certainly knows what attitude he should have when facing someone. So at this time, you can't tell from his face that he was fierce at that time when facing Lei Shidong. Even the opposite is true, he is gentle and well-educated, and even speaks slowly.
"Mr. Lei Shidong suffered a heart disease and is now in the hospital for rescue. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it's not optimistic. I guess even if he gets better, he will have to spend it in the hospital bed in the future. But don't worry, we have obtained the preliminary letter of intent from Mr. Lei Shidong's family, and they have agreed to temporarily hand over this part of the shares to me. At the same time, as I said before, I have obtained the authorization of most shareholders to complete the acquisition transaction on their behalf."
For smart people, there are some words that do not need to be said for the third time. So after hearing his retelling, the richest man immediately understood what he meant.
He was promoting sovereignty to himself. The richest man, who was surprised, thought this way, but he still looked indifferent on his face.
"I'm very curious. I've never seen you or heard your name. You can hear from the words you just said that you have very great power in the Viacom group. According to common sense, you should never be obscured with such a great power. So can you tell me why? Why is it you who represent them?"
"This shouldn't be important, Mr. Wang?"
Ke Wen smiled, not intending to answer this question, but the richest man Wang had no intention of just passing by like this. On the contrary, he widened his eyes, took out a look of aura of breaking the casserole and asking the question to Ke Wen.
"No, this is very important! How did I know this would not be a trap? You Americans have never been very friendly to us Chinese. Before today, there were also comments in your media that attacked me. I have every reason to believe these remarks, which came from your Viacom. Now, just a half-day has passed, you have changed your attitude and looked kind. If you were the ones who stood in my position, wouldn't you find it strange?"
"I can assure you that we have no malice. In fact, we just want to work with an outstanding person like you."
Faced with these words, Ke Wen couldn't say anything, so he could only say these words like surrender. When he heard these words, the richest man Wang frowned and asked strangely.
"Cooperation? You guys? I think you should explain who these so-called you are. Since you want to cooperate, can you still want to hide your head and tail? There is no such strange cooperative relationship in this world!"
In theory, the request of the richest man Wang is not an excessive amount. But for Ko Wen, this is somewhat beyond his authority. He was only ordered to help the richest man Wang take Viacom, and was not authorized to let him know who was helping him do this. Although sometimes, appropriate overreach of authority is a means to show his ability. But Ko Wen does not think that this is a good choice for himself now. So at this moment, he said to the richest man Wang like this.
"I was not allowed to disclose my identity, but if you really want to know, I can apply now. Please wait a moment, and we will know the result after a moment."
Regarding this statement, the richest man Wang just nodded. Seeing his statement, Ke Wen immediately took action. He made a phone call and quickly hung up the phone. When he finished all this, he said to the richest man Wang with a strange look on his face.
"I have received permission. Mr. Wang, do you really want to know the answer?"
"Of course, does it seem like I don't care?"
"Okay, then I'll tell you. We are members of the consortium. And all of this is the consortium that will help you privately."
"Consortium? Morgan or Rockefeller, or Citi or something?"
"All, Mr. Wang. You are facing the kindness of the entire American consortium now. Believe me, this is definitely an opportunity. From the help you get now, we are definitely a great help to you. Once we start to cooperate formally, you will only get more. I believe that people like you should not understand this principle."
The richest man Wang swallowed in time, and then he became cautious.
