The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 482

  Chapter 482 Shareholders' Meeting of Global Attention (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  1976, Monday, June 14th!

  Before eight o'clock in the morning, at the gate of the Ford Motor Headquarters in Dearborn, many North American reporters had already gathered.

  Reporters all over the world are virtuous. When important news happens, they will clung to them like flies that smell fishy.

   "Wall Street Journal", "New York Times", "Washington Post", "Los Angeles Times" and a series of newspaper reporters have gathered here.

   Actually it's not just them, there are also "Zhenbao" and "Sing Tao Daily" from Xiangjiang.

  Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun", "Asahi Shimbun".

  South Korea's "North Korea Ilbo", "Central Ilbo", "Dong-A Ilbo".

   At the same time, there are also European "Bild", "The Times" and so on.

It can be said that Chu Huan's purchase of Ford Motor shares this time has attracted global attention. Everyone wants to see if this mysterious rich man from the East can accomplish this feat and become a Ford Motor Company in such a way that is almost robbery. Director, and even got the right to speak in Ford Motor.

  As a listed company, as long as you hold a certain share of stock, you may become a director of the company.

But this is common sense, and from the beginning Chu Huan took action against Ford Motor, it started in a way of robbing. This way of becoming a director is unacceptable to the helm of the company, not to mention that before that, Ford II He also made it clear that he would not accept Chu Huan as a director of the company.

   "It's impossible, this acquisition is destined to be just a joke!" Reporter Chuck Favreau from the "Wall Street Journal" preached firmly.

Standing next to him was New York Times reporter Jon Lowry, who was fiddling with his camera at this time, and said relaxedly: "I think it is possible, otherwise, how could Chu Huan be so open?" What about convening the shareholders meeting of Ford Motor, if he can't join Ford Motor as a director of Ford Motor, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of himself?”

   "Washington Post" reporter Mark Cumming said with a smile: "That's because Chu Huan didn't think about what the Ford family's control over Ford Motor would be like. This time he will lose!"

"Los Angeles Times" reporter Alan Webb agrees with Mark Cumming and Chuck Favreau: "That's right, a rich man from Xiangjiang, who thinks he has some money, wants to set his sights on Ford Motors. Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation?”

  About such a discussion, among these reporters is not unusual at all.

  Proud North American reporter, I don't believe that Chu Huan can become a director of Ford Motor in this way in North America.

  Reporter Lu Haorong of "Sing Tao Daily" whispered to He Zhiyao, a reporter from "Zhenbao" next to him, "Old He, it seems that these people are not optimistic about your chairman becoming a director of Ford Motor!"

  There was a trace of tension in He Zhiyao's eyes, and he said softly: "Let's not talk about them. If someone else is changed, I don't think the other party can become the director of Ford Motor in this way."

  Lu Haorong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then you mean, if this person is Chu Huan, he might succeed?"

  He Zhiyao said firmly: "It will definitely succeed, because that is our President Chu!"

   Seeing that Lu Haorong still looked a little disbelieving, He Zhiyao continued to ask: "Then let me ask you, what has Mr. Chu not succeeded in in Xiangjiang for so many years?"

   "Really not!" But after Lu Haorong finished speaking, he added immediately: "But this is North America, it is Ford Motor, not in Xiangjiang, nor is it a listed company in Xiangjiang!"

  He Zhiyao said seriously: "I know, but I still trust our chairman, because he has never lost!"

   "Haha, you believe it, but we don't believe it. This time Chu Huan is doomed to lose. He actually wants to compete with our Hyundai Group of the Republic of Korea. He doesn't know how he died!"

   While Lu Haorong and He Zhiyao were talking, Jin Shicao, a reporter from North Korea Daily, came over with a smug smile on his face.

  Lu Haorong and He Zhiyao were taken aback. They were discussing this matter in Cantonese just now, but they didn't expect that the other party could understand it.

   It turned out that to get first-hand news in North America, I was worried that I might have missed something. Kim Se-jo, who was sent by the "North Korea Ilbo", not only mastered Korean and English proficiently, but also was very proficient in Cantonese.

  Just now, Jin Shicao has been paying attention to the reporters from Xiangjiang. When he heard that He Zhiyao turned out to be a reporter for "Zhenbao" under Chu Huan's name, and heard their conversation just now, Jin Shicao immediately came over to play the opposite role.

He Zhiyao glanced at the other party indifferently, and said: "Whether we can win or not, our opponents of Chairman Chu are Ford Motors, not your Hyundai Group of the Republic of Korea. In the end, you are just an extra. I really don't know about your health. Where does this sense of superiority come from?"

Jin Shicao's complexion changed when he heard what He Zhiyao said, and he said directly: "Huh, if it weren't for the Hyundai Group of the Republic of Korea, how could what happened today? Chu Huan came because he had no choice but to deal with the Hyundai Group of the Republic of Korea Is it against Ford Motors?"

  He Zhiyao chuckled and said: "As far as the business environment of your small South Korean country is concerned, do you still want people to go to your small South Korean country for business investment?

  Which of those chaebols did not develop by licking the Japanese and North Americans, and after they developed, which one of them did good things to the people of the Republic of Korea?

  You, a plain-headed commoner, stand here and speak for those chaebols, it really makes me full of contempt for you! "

   "You!" Jin Shicao's complexion began to pale in anger after being beaten by He Zhiyao.

   Just when he was about to say something, a reporter suddenly shouted, "Here we come!"

  Many reporters at the scene immediately turned their attention to the door.

   A Ford car slowly drove into the gate of the Ford car.

   Since these reporters came to report this matter, they naturally did their homework, and immediately recognized that the person sitting in the car was a shareholder of Ford Motor.

  Everyone was taking pictures with their cameras.

  With the first one, there will be a second one, and the shareholders of Ford Motor have arrived at the scene one after another.

Although we already know that this is Ford Motor's general meeting of shareholders, the reporters at the scene couldn't help but be surprised, because in ordinary general meetings of shareholders, in many cases, shareholders send a representative to come and forget it, but this All the people who came to the scene once were the shareholders themselves.

   "Something is wrong!"

   "Washington Post" reporter Mark Cumming had just finished taking a group of photos, and while changing the film, he whispered a sermon.

   Not only did he find out that something was wrong, but all the other reporters at the scene also found out that something was wrong. If this shareholder meeting was just a passing scene for the Ford family to refuse Chu Huan to join the Ford Motor Board of Directors, then it is impossible for so many shareholders to come to the scene.

   "Could there really be an accident?"

   When Los Angeles Times reporter Alan Webb said this, he looked at Wall Street Journal reporter Chuck Favreau and whispered.

They both belong to North American newspapers. Allen Webb naturally knows that the "Wall Street Journal" is now the main force in badmouthing Chu Huan. Just this morning, the "Wall Street Journal" also published a prediction about Ford Motor's current shareholder meeting. According to the "Wall Street Journal", the possibility of Chu Huan becoming a director of Ford Motor is almost zero!

   Now that so many shareholder deities have come, the situation is obviously not going so smoothly.

   Chuck Favreau also looked a little flustered at this time. If this prediction is wrong, it would be really embarrassing!

  On the other side, He Zhiyao looked at Lu Haorong next to him with an excited expression, and said, "Well, I said that our chairman will definitely succeed!"

  Lu Haorong murmured: "I still can't believe it. If Chu Huan really becomes the director of Ford Motor in this way, it will really shake the entire Xiangjiang River!"

  He Zhiyao laughed and said, "Didn't what our chairman did made Xiangjiang tremble?"

  After finishing speaking, He Zhiyao still took a provocative glance at Jin Shicao who was standing not far from him.

  Jin Shicao didn't even have the heart to look at He Zhiyao at this time, but looked at these shareholders nervously. Could it be that something unexpected happened?

   Just when he had such a guess, a reporter from North America suddenly shouted loudly: "Look, the Ford family car is here!"

   These people naturally knew the license plate number of the car the Ford family was riding in.

   That is the car of William Ford of the Ford family. Everyone knows that Ford II is now in Switzerland, and William Ford of the Ford family is in charge of this shareholder meeting.

   Sure enough, when William Ford's car drove to the gate of the Ford car, these reporters rolled down the window and saw William Ford inside!

"Haha, what did I say? It is impossible for Chu Huan to become the director of Ford Motor!" Seeing William Ford alone in the car, Jin Shicao immediately laughed, "Mr. It shows that the Ford family is in control of everything, and it is impossible for accidents to happen!"

  Jin Shicao yelled this in Korean, so only a few South Korean reporters at the scene could understand it, and these people immediately showed a smile of approval.

  Although journalists from other countries could not understand Korean, when they saw that William Ford was alone in the car, they thought the same thing as Kim Se-jo.

   Wall Street Journal reporter Chuck Favreau let out a long sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as Ford II doesn't show up, it means that it is impossible for Chu Huan to enter the Ford Motor Board of Directors this time!"

   "Strange, why hasn't the chairman appeared yet?" He Zhiyao said anxiously.

  The momentum on the scene ebbed and flowed, and He Zhiyao wanted to see Chu Huan.

   "The great people will always appear last. Since you believe in President Chu, you must always believe in it!" Lu Haorong chose to share the same hatred with He Zhiyao at this time.

   "Yes!" He Zhiyao nodded heavily, and said, "I believe that Ford II will definitely pay the price for today's pride!"

   While the reporters on the scene were communicating with each other, several Ford Motor shareholders entered the Ford Motor Factory by car.

   Just when everyone saw that it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, a Ford car slowly drove towards the gate, and the windows at the back were also rolled down.

  The reporters on the scene subconsciously picked up the camera and prepared to take pictures, but when the car drove to their side, everyone was blindfolded!

  Even everyone forgot to press their own shutter.

Because they recognized the two people sitting in the car, one naturally has a high reputation in North America, and stated that this time period should be Ford II, the president of Ford Motor in Switzerland, and the other has recently become famous in North America Chu Huan, a mysterious rich man in Xiangjiang!

   These two people who were supposed to be rivals actually sat in the same car this time and went to the Ford Motor Factory talking and laughing?

   Fortunately, these reporters are the best reporters from their respective newspapers, otherwise, they really forgot to take pictures.

   "It's impossible, it's impossible!"

  Kim Se-jo held the camera and muttered to himself in horror.

  He really couldn't figure out why Chu Huan came by car with Ford II.

   Shouldn't the two of you have a life-and-death relationship?

  How can you sit in the same car and chat with old friends for many years?

   Those who had the same expression as Kim Se-jo were reporters from other newspapers in South Korea, as well as Chuck Favreau, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal.

   "What's the matter with Ford II? How could he come here with Chu Huan? What about his pride? Doesn't he know how embarrassing it is for him to do this?"

   Chuck Favreau is going crazy.

   But no one paid attention to him at this time, because everyone was crazy. They seemed to have seen the most amazing thing in the world. Two people who were fighting to death yesterday, are now sitting in the same car?

  This Chu Huan from the mysterious east, does she really have some kind of magic?

"Ha ha."

  In such an environment, someone in the crowd suddenly broke out into a strong laugh.

   Everyone looked at it and found that it was an oriental face. No need to guess, the other party must be a newspaper reporter from Xiangjiang.

   Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such an expression.

   "Fuck, President Chu is really amazing!"

   It was He Zhiyao who was laughing, and Lu Haorong was talking. The scene before him made him unbelievable.

   "I think those reporters outside are probably crazy at this time?" Ford II in the car said to Chu Huan with a smile on his face.

   Although the two separated at the hotel, they agreed to come to Ford together.

  Chu Huan sat in the car and said with a smile: "I think those shareholders will have the same expression when they see us together."

   Ford II sat next to Chu Huan, looked at Chu Huan curiously, and said, "Director Chu, are you really not worried at all?"

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "What do I have to worry about?"

Ford II said: "Before this, Director Chu, you asked your partners in Xiangjiang to contact these Ford shareholders. After you promised them that you would unite them to fight against our Ford family's authority in Ford Motor, these people They chose to stand by your side, but now you are standing with us again, will they be happy?"

  Chu Huan said with a relaxed smile: "It turns out that Mr. Ford was talking about this matter, if that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about.

  First of all, these people have no business relationship with me. Of course, I feel sorry for them, but they also understand that joining the Ford Motor Board of Directors is the most important thing for me right now.

  So as long as the result is consistent, I don't think anyone will care about the process.

Secondly, the stock market is about to open in half an hour. I think the focus of everyone's attention is actually on the stock market, not on me. The price of the stock market price to buy the shares of Ford Motor in their hands.

  Finally, as long as I am around, the Ford family's control of Ford Motors is no longer a certainty.

  So I think everyone will be a little unhappy about my behavior, but it is acceptable! "

  Chu Huan's current behavior naturally has nothing to say for him, but for many shareholders of Ford Motor who have already reached an alliance with Chu Huan, it is indeed a bit inappropriate.

  However, as long as you peel off the layers of shells and find the essence of anything, it will be easy to understand.

The fundamental reason for Chu Huan's acquisition of Ford Motor stock this time is to use Ford Motor to suppress Hyundai Motor, and those shareholders want to use Chu Huan's acquisition this time to form a kind of control over the Ford family's control of Ford Motor. The sense of oppression made the Ford family understand the importance of Ford Motor shareholders, and at the same time let the Ford family understand that Ford cars do not necessarily belong to the Ford family.

  So such a result, whether it is Chu Huan, those shareholders, or the Ford family that has now formed an alliance with Chu Huan, can actually accept it.

   With Chu Huan's uncertain factor, the original shareholders of Ford Motor can get more rights, the Ford family can continue to support their family members to serve as the president of Ford Motor, and Chu Huan can also complete the suppression of Hyundai Group.

  A result acceptable to all!

   Facing Chu Huan's straightforward answer, Ford II shook his head, feeling helpless and somewhat thankful that he had returned from Switzerland.

   Fortunately, we reached an agreement with Chu Huan. Fortunately, Chu Huan is not really interested in Ford cars.

  As the two said, when the two entered Ford Motor's large meeting room together, there was quite a commotion at the scene.

   With Ford II's on-site support, Chu Huan became a director of Ford Motors as a matter of course.

   Just when those shareholders were still a little unacceptable to Chu Huan's behavior, Chu Huan announced something, which immediately made these shareholders feel no dissatisfaction, and even started to applaud.

  Because Chu Huan announced that Xiangjiang Jiaku will reach an in-depth partnership with Ford Motor, and the two parties will jointly build Ford flagship stores in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia.

  At the same time, Black and White Media under the name of Chu Huan will strongly support the Ford flagship store.

With the rise of Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, although the auto market is not as good as Europe and the United States, it is still a big market. If we can get the support of Chu Huan and Black and White Media, Ford's sales in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia will definitely not be bad. of.

   This is a benefit that is visible to the naked eye!

   Such benefits made those shareholders disappear the only dissatisfaction in their hearts.

   Naturally, not many people paid attention to the establishment of the Asian Department of Ford Motor, with William Ford as the president of the Asian Department.

  As for the grievances between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group, and the relationship between Ford Motor and Hyundai Motor, none of these were mentioned at this shareholder meeting.

  Because everyone understands that this will be an undercurrent confrontation, and only after Chu Huan, as a director of Ford Motor, has another confrontation with Hyundai Group to no avail, will this matter be brought up on Ford Motor's board of directors!

   As for whether it will happen or not, it depends on the continued confrontation between Chu Huan and the Zheng family of Hyundai Group.

  At the same time, the general meeting of shareholders also proposed that in order to deal with the fact that Ford Motor's stock price will fall in the next stock market opening, it is now necessary to immediately announce Ford Motor's business in Asia.

  In addition, at the shareholder meeting, Ford II, the president of Ford Motor, also announced that in order to welcome Chu Huan to join Ford Motor as a director of Ford Motor, a dance party will be held tonight, inviting all shareholders of Ford Motor to join!

  The general meeting of shareholders is over.

  Led by Ford II, representatives of Ford Motor shareholders went to the lawn in front of the Ford Motor office building, which had been arranged as a press conference site.

   And those reporters who were at the gate of Ford Motor have naturally been invited here.

"be opposed to!"

Seeing that his position was at the back, Jin Shicao stood up and shouted: "We are reporters from the "North Korea Ilbo" of the Republic of Korea. The sales volume and influence of our newspaper are all higher than those of Xiangjiang. Come forward."

  Because of Kim Se-jo's objection, reporters from other South Korean newspapers stood up to express their opposition after hearing Kim Se-jo's objection.

  There is a posture that if they don't change positions for them, they will leave the field collectively.

   He Zhiyao and Lu Haorong, who were already sitting in their seats, heard Jin Shicao and others' objections, and looked back at Jin Shicao and others. They were indeed arranged in the backmost position.

The people from the Ford Motor PR Department who were in charge of maintaining order at the scene just glanced at Jin Shicao lightly, and said: "If you are not satisfied, you can leave. More reporters from newspapers and TV stations will come over later. You just made room for them!"

  Jin Shicao and others immediately silenced the drums.

   Can't go!

  This news is too important!

   Jin Shicao and others, who had droopy eyes, had no choice but to sit down obediently.

  Seeing the reactions of Jin Shicao and others, He Zhiyao and Lu Haorong immediately showed a smug smile on their faces.

   If you want to spread the news of Ford Motor as quickly as possible, in this era, you naturally need the help of the TV station. According to the popularity of this news and the influence of the Ford family in North America, this is not difficult!

   Soon, the reporter from the TV station arrived with a camera on his shoulder.

  Chu Huan, Ford II, and representatives of Ford Motor shareholders also came to the scene at this time.

   Seeing Chu Huan and Ford II walking hand in hand, Wall Street Journal reporter Chuck Favreau, South Korea's "North Korea Daily" reporter Kim Se-jo and reporters from other South Korean newspapers paled.

   It is a certainty that Chu Huan will become the director of Ford Motor Company! .

  North America, New York!

  At the "Wall Street Journal" headquarters, Warren Phillips was sitting in his office at this moment, watching the screen on the TV with a gloomy expression.

  Especially when he saw Chu Huan and Ford II speaking humbly to each other with smiles on their faces, he was really disgusted and wanted to vomit.

   "Shameless, two people who were going to fight to death have now become partners. What about your face? What about your face?"

   Listening to Warren Philip, his assistant Jack O'Brien didn't know what to say, but Jack O'Brien understood one thing.

  He doesn't know whether the faces of Chu Huan and Ford II have affected their face, but one thing that is certain is that the "Wall Street Journal" is really ashamed this time.

  Simply speaking, they have lost face!

   Regarding the share acquisition between Chu Huan and Ford Motor, and the grievances between Chu Huan and Hyundai Group, one thing counts. As long as Chu Huan is involved, their "Wall Street Journal" reports are all wrong.

  A newspaper that can only report wrong news, this is certainly a damage to the reputation of the Wall Street Journal.

  If there is only Chu Huan and Hyundai Group involved in the incident, it is wrong to be honest, and it is no big deal. After all, the influence of these two parties in North America is insufficient.

  But now Ford is added.

   This is a star in the North American business world. It is really unforgivable to report wrongly about them!

  New York, inside Chu Huan's villa.

  Cao Yunshang sat in the living room with Guo Bingxiang and others who had returned to New York. On the TV, Chu Huan and Ford II were giving speeches. The content was naturally about Chu Huan becoming a director of Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company will start its Asian business.

Seeing this scene, Cao Yunshang heaved a long sigh of relief. The matter finally came to an end. Although Chu Huan was very calm about this matter before, the opponent Chu Huan faced this time was the Ford family of Ford Motor. , or in the country of North America.

  Cao Yunshang was really worried for Chu Huan in his heart. If he didn't succeed, the impact would be huge.

   "Yes!"

   Just when Cao Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Bingxiang clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

The same is true for the rest of the people. Everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. It's not just that Chu Huan became the final winner in this acquisition, but more importantly, in this operation, they also They all really participated in it.

  For these people, the victory in this matter not only belongs to Chu Huan, but also belongs to them.

   "It's great, when this matter gets back to Xiangjiang, Ah Huan is going to become the idol of the whole Xiangjiang!" Zheng Jiachun said enviously.

   "What a pity!" Zhao Shizeng said at this time.

  Everyone looked at Zhao Shizeng curiously and asked, "What's the pity?"

Zhao Shizeng said: "It's a pity that after the matter here is over, we are the only ones to go back, and A Huan has to continue their honeymoon trip with Yunshang, otherwise, A Huan will definitely receive a hero's welcome when he goes back this time. "

  Everyone showed regretful expressions when they heard it.

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "You don't have to be sorry about this. Brother Huan called me in the early hours of this morning. After the North American affairs are over, we will return to Xiangjiang first."

  Chu Huan returned to Xiangjiang early, naturally not to enjoy the heroic welcome ceremony that Zhao Shizeng talked about. Everyone is smart, and they immediately guessed the real meaning from Cao Yunshang's words.

   "Has the Hyundai Group admitted it?" Guo Bingxiang asked impatiently.

   "It should be soon!" Cao Yunshang said uncertainly.

   Finally caught up, it feels so good to not break my promise~~
