A grand press conference is being held in the lobby of the Whistler Hotel.
Many mainstream media such as BBC, Sky, CH4, ITV, The Times and The Sun were invited to the scene.
Hu Hanqing, the head of the Yinggeleng branch of Hantang Investment, announced to everyone on the spot that Hantang Investment has initiated the process of acquiring Sangla Company.
Prior to this, Hantang Investment had frequently contacted Jeff and Sunla Company through Damomo, but it had never publicly announced its intention to acquire Sunla Company.
Yi Xiaohai realized that Jeff was partial to Ford, so he chose to make the acquisition public and conduct it under the supervision of the media.
There are many silent news groups with TV stations and newspapers in Yingge Leng. They don¡¯t need to worry about others manipulating public opinion. Openness is beneficial to the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The media were all in a frenzy, rushing to ask questions.
Hu Hanqing named a reporter from a TV station controlled by News Group and allowed her to ask three questions.
The reporter went straight to the point:
"Official news currently states that Ford is offering a price of US$3.5 billion. What is Hantang's price?"
"Han and Tang Dynasties are willing to acquire Sangla Company for 4.5 billion yuan."
"Ford's purchase price of 3.5 billion does not include the placement of employees and company debt. I would like to ask, does the purchase price of Hantang include the arrangement of tens of thousands of employees of Sangla Company?"
"Hantang Investment has offered 4.5 billion U.S. dollars to acquire all entities including Sangla's technology, equipment, debts and employees. As for employees, Hantang will compensate them in accordance with the law or continue to employ them."
"I have a curiosity. Has Hantang's offer been submitted to the acquisition team? We have not seen an official notice. Has Hantang contacted the board of directors of Sangla Company? What is the attitude of the board of directors of Sangla Company?"
Hu Hanqing smiled:
"First of all, this lady asked more than one question, but as a gentleman, I feel that I should not refuse, so I will answer them one by one."
"First of all, Hantang's offer was submitted to Jeff, the head of the acquisition team, a month ago. I don't know the official attitude towards it. I don't know why it wasn't notified."
"Secondly, Hantang entrusted Morgan Stanley to contact the board of directors of Sangla Company and negotiate the acquisition plan. Yesterday, Mr. Yi Xiaohai, the founder of Hantang Investment, met with the board of directors of Sangla Company in person. Both parties have a strong willingness to reach an agreement."
The female reporter¡¯s task was completed. After thanking her, she sat down.
Reporters from other TV stations began to ask questions, and many of the questions seemed not very friendly.
"Hantang's offer was submitted to Jeff, the head of the acquisition team, one month ago, but the official did not notify it. Do you mean the official is hiding it?"
¡°I think you should ask this question to the acquisitions team, not me.¡±
"How do you prove that Hantang submitted the offer to Jeff, the head of the acquisition team, one month ago?"
"Meetings between both parties, including Morgan Stanley, have meeting memorandums, audio recordings and videos. If necessary, you can obtain them after the press conference. However, I emphasize that any media that post-processes the audio recordings and videos or takes them out of context will be regarded as a violation of the Han-Tang Conference. Sue him until he goes bankrupt."
"Why is Hantang's quotation so much higher than Ford's? Is there some conspiracy?"
Hu Hanqing still kept smiling:
"Your views are so strange. Is there a conspiracy, or is it intentional?"
The reporter who posted the article was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly reacted:
"I am just asking questions as a media person, and Mr. Hu should not avoid it."
"Then I will answer your question directly,"
Hu Hanqing put away his smile:
"Properly arranging the employee issue is Hantang's great sincerity. Giving a high price is also the importance we attach to Sangla Company. We made a mistake in offering a high price. Do we ignore the employees and pay a low price? Do you think Sangla is not right?" Is it worth 4.5 billion, or do you think employees should not be properly accommodated?¡±
The sharp answer immediately put the reporter, Sunla Company and its employees on opposite sides.
"I would like to emphasize again that the Han and Tang Dynasties have always been people-oriented. Any business behavior should be based on the proper placement of employees. Otherwise, it is just for the sake of wealth and unkindness."
"We respect Yinggeleng's laws, respect the people of Yinggeleng, and hope that Yinggeleng can see the friendship between Han, Tang, and even China!"
Not far away, Stephen and Cook couldn't help but praise his performance, which was very exciting.
Yi Xiaohai just smiled:
"Stephen, you have seen that so many media have some deep-rootedAs for being hostile to China, if some get orders, acquisitions will be difficult. "
"I think Jeff will also have a headache if you expose these to the public. Those people and employees of Sunla Company are not so easy to fool."
No matter how many voices of opposition there are at the press conference, it is a fact that the Hantang acquisition plan is much superior to Ford.
It is also true that Jeff¡¯s acquisition team did not report in accordance with regulations.
Facing questions from the public and Sangla employees, Jeff needs to consider how to resolve the crisis.
In fact, when the press conference began, tens of thousands of Sunla employees had already taken to the streets to demonstrate, and finally blocked Jeff's office.
They asked Jeff to give an explanation and asked him to leave get out of class.
Yesterday, Yi Xiaohai met with the board of directors of Sangla and presented the acquisition plan. The union has notified all employees. They are very angry that Jeff blocked Hantang's acquisition of Sangla.
¡¡
Jeff¡¯s office, he looked downstairs through the window, his eyes were cold,
What he is most worried about is that the employees of Sanglan Company will rebel.
Yi Xiaohai deliberately disclosed Hantang¡¯s acquisition plan to the labor union and held a press conference today to reveal what he had concealed.
Now the employees are making trouble, and soon the media will come to visit. He must come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise his political opponents will make a fuss about it.
By then, not only will he be unlucky personally, but his family may also be unlucky.
At this moment, his heart was filled with hatred for Yi Xiaohai.
The assistant came in and brought him a phone, saying it was his family's number. He reluctantly answered the call.
"Let's meet Yi Xiaohai before noon tomorrow,"
"Father, I'm ready to ask him out."
"You don't understand what I mean,"
The other party¡¯s tone was very cold and emotionless:
"You meeting Yi Xiaohai is just to put pressure on Ford, but I asked you to meet to have a sincere chat with Yi Xiaohai."
"Father¡¡"
"It's impossible for Ford to give a high price. Now that things have reached this level, the impact must be taken into consideration, and it is not impossible to give Yi Xiaohai."
¡°Where¡¯s the technology?¡±
"When the time comes, the media will bring technical issues to the table and advocate the China threat theory. By then, no one will support selling technology. If the Han and Tang Dynasties persisted, they would only encounter resistance from the people, and you would end the crisis without a break."
"I see."
Jeff hung up the phone, looked at the lively crowd outside the window, and smiled contemptuously.
No matter how noisy they are, they cannot decide their own destiny, because a few people hold the power
