General Electric is just a kid, and is it a kid who is used to please others? If such a sentence is from someone else's mouth, it is a joke. But if this is said by a person like Morgan, then it is not at all ridiculous.
What kind of giants the Morgan consortium is, he knows very well. Perhaps in the eyes of others, GE will be a huge enterprise that is a country's vital industrial force. But for the Morgan consortium, GE is not an irreplaceable existence. Although important, it is not the only one. If you have that need, it is not impossible to give up.
Now, Morgan has already shown such a necessity for him, and in the face of such a statement, the major shareholder can only stand up in resentment and throw away the next sentence.
"You will regret it, you will regret it!"
"Repent?" Looking at the back of his departure, Old Morgan smiled and picked up his eyes. Some words he did not say in his mouth, but stayed in his heart. Now, when there is only one person left in this study, he naturally whispers to himself. "This question is what I always wanted to ask. Morgan has become the look of today. Have you regretted it? No, of course you will not regret it. You have taken too many things from Morgan." And now, it’s time for you to pay back all of this. Morgan, after all, belongs to Morgan. Let’s get some interest first, and the principal will be counted again!
Old Morgan experienced the rise and fall of the Morgan family, and his heart certainly has his own calculations. Unfortunately, the major shareholders of GE do not know. Now he has been completely immersed in the crisis he is facing. He is innocent and he does not have the time to guess other people's minds.
Returning to his home in a desperate manner, this major shareholder began to rush to count the assets in his hands. He needs to know how much money he can use in his hand, and how much property he can sell. The reason for this is because he is very clear. Once General Electric can't survive, he will almost go bankrupt.
Almost all of his money has been invested in company projects, and he is definitely the most lost of all shareholders. When these projects died with changes in GE, he would be completely penniless. Not only will it lose everything, but even he will owe a lot of money to the bank.
Capitalists are accustomed to using banks to borrow chickens and lay eggs. It is a shame for them to leave their money in their hands. Of course, in the vast majority of cases this is the right behavior. After all, money will depreciate because it is also inflation, but investment will not. However, when the capitalist's investment encounters a fatal blow, their clever behavior will immediately become the curse of the fate of life, directly into the abyss of the eternal.
The big shareholder is like this. He mortgaged his own shares and various assets to the bank, borrowing huge sums of money to invest in GE's most advantageous projects in the next two decades. It can be said that if everything develops normally, these projects will bring him rich economic benefits, and even say that his value will be doubled.
However, what happened in the stock market has changed everything. His stock depreciated quickly, and this made him owe a lot of money to the bank without knowing it. If those projects are still in operation, then maybe the bank can give him some face and delay time for him to raise money to pay back.
However, when the bank knows that those projects have died, it is almost impossible to give him benefits. I am afraid they will face him immediately.
There are many people in the world who have been forced to die by banks, and rich people are even the best among them. It is almost impossible for the major shareholder who repays this huge debt to see his own end. The assets in his hands are not enough to repay his debts, so in the end he is not swept away and wandering. It was just a jump from the Golden Gate Bridge.
This is not a situation he can accept. In fact, no one can accept it with such a situation. Therefore, his emotions began to become violent and impermanent, and it is also an understandable thing.
From time to time, the sound of his beating and cursing came from the study. The situation that was completely different from the education he showed on weekdays made the maids in the entire house cautious. They didn't know what was going on, but they knew they were at the wind. If you are not careful, you will probably lead to the anger from your homeowner. Therefore, they are very tacit, choose to avoid their violent master at this time.
Of course, not everyone will do this. For example, the old butler of this family, he will not do this. He has been very familiar with his master for many years, and he knows that he must be in trouble now, and in this case, maybe the phone he just received can be his master. Help. Therefore, knowing that it is not a good time to show up now, he still knocked open the door and said to the major shareholders.
"Sir, there is a phone call here, I think you should listen."
"Get out of me, I don't have the mood to talk to the guys who don't know where to come. Also, don't bother me anymore. Otherwise I don't mind letting you get out of this house right away!"
The major shareholder screamed, and did not leave a little bit of face to the old butler who had served himself for more than a decade. This made the old butler's face a little white, but he said with due diligence to the owner he served.
"Sir, the phone is called by Mr. Harry Osborne, the chairman of the Osborne Group. He said that there are important things I want to talk to you. I think this should have some of the dilemmas you are currently experiencing. Help. So"
When he heard Harry’s name, the major shareholder finally recovered a little bit of reason. He gasped and waved his old housekeeper. Then he picked up the microphone on the desk and hurriedly dialed out.
Although he didn't know what it meant when Harry Osborne called himself at this time, he knew that this might be the only turning point he could ever meet. No matter what it is, he has no reason to let go of such an opportunity. So, he has to call back on this call.
Two beeps, and the voice of a young man came from the other end of the phone. When I heard this voice, the major shareholder immediately became anxious, even asked to be flattering.
"Is it Mr. Harry Osborne? I am Bob Jones, the chairman of General Electric. Is there anything you have just contacted me?"
"Is Mr. Jones? Yes, I just contacted you. I heard that you have some big troubles?"
Upon receiving the call, Harry's face revealed a smile that the hunter would have when he looked at the prey and drilled into the trap. This made him feel good, but he also asked questions without hesitation.
"Call me Bob. Yes, Mr. Osborne. I don't want you to say, I did have some trouble. But I don't understand. Does this have anything to do with looking for me? There should be no between us. Too many intersections are right, even saying that we have not seen each other."
Although Harry was regarded as the hope of his own survival, the major shareholders did not let go of their own vigilance. He replied cautiously, and the way to answer it was to immediately make Harry laugh.
"Sorry, Bob. Let's just say something directly. I already know about the stock market. I also know that GE doesn't have much ability to pass this severe test. No matter the government or the consortium. It will give you too much help. Because your opponent is that they don't want to offend now. In other words, you are abandoned, aren't you?"
The nakedness of the major shareholder was unveiled, which made him feel uncomfortable. What is most embarrassing to him is that this sentence is still spoken from Harry, the mouth of a young man whose eyes are not long. You know, before that, he never thought that Harry could qualify for himself. The change is that his father is still almost here. Now, just because he inherited his father's legacy, this little boy dared to say this in front of himself. This made his heart suddenly uncomfortable.
However, despite the uncomfortable feelings, the major shareholder still has no plans to turn his face with Harry. He took a deep breath and pressed down his inner heart. Then he said calmly to Harry as much as possible.
"It's right like this. But I don't understand, this has anything to do with you. Mr. Osborne, you called, it shouldn't be to talk to me about these nonsense."
"You are right, I am not trying to talk nonsense with you."
Nodded, Harry said to the big shareholders at the door.
"Let's tell you the truth, Bob. I have already foreseen what happened in the stock market. And now it's just that I have a large amount of cash in my hand. So you know what I mean?"
"Do you want to help General Electric?"
When I heard this, the major shareholders were a little surprised. He had neglected the foreseen question Harry had said, and he was filled with joy and thought that he had met a good man. Unfortunately, Harry did not have such an idea.
"Are you kidding me? Why should I help General Electric, can this kind of GE give me any benefit?"
"What do you mean by that?" The big shareholder who went straight up and down was no patience at this time. He frowned, and some unhappy geology asked. In the face of his questioning, Harry just replied with a smile.
"It's very simple, Bob. Although I don't want to help General Electric, I am willing to help you. I know that you hold the shares of General Electric in your hand, and I know the debt crisis you are facing now. In a word, one Ten billion. All the shares are handed over to me, I will help you through this difficult situation. How? Are you willing to make this deal with me?"
