Chapter 37 Negotiation? Butcher knife! (Part 1)
What?
After hearing the scream of the black goat, Leon couldn't help being slightly startled.
Before setting off, I had just learned about the "Devil Suit", but in less than three hours, I had found the whereabouts of one of the "Haggis"? Are you so lucky?
Under Black Goat’s impatient urging, Leon squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. He did not break into the room directly. Instead, he looked back at the nameplate at the door, and then called the security manager and asked. :
“When I was passing by the conference room at the back, I seemed to hear someone talking about the public water pipes. Who are those people in there?”
"That's conference room No. 2. As for who's in there... I'll check first."
After his psychological defense was broken, the security manager sold the company without any worries. He simply took out the visitor's itinerary from his pocket and rummaged through it.
"We found... representatives from the River Road Bureau of the Ministry of Highways, the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, Charles Department Store, as well as people from several established nobles such as Lion Heart Lane, Tower Dun York, and Rose Massene.
According to the itinerary sent to me, they have occupied that conference room for almost three days, and they should...should be talking about compensation..."
Um? Is it really related to the water pipe?
Leon originally just wanted to find a reason to get some information about the haggis. Whenever he heard someone talking about water pipes, he would naturally make nonsense.
But I never thought that after this accidental collision, I got it right. The people in that conference room were really related to the public water pipe incident.
After lamenting his good luck, Leon pointed to the conference room behind him, then grinned slightly and gave the security manager a smile that you know how to do.
"This...I really can't do this..."
After seeing Leon's expression, the security manager couldn't help but tremble, and then begged with a grimace:
"I'm just a small manager of the security department! Taking you to the archives to look through the records is the limit of what I can do. I really can't get into this.
Those people in the meeting inside are beyond my reach. A small person like me is not even qualified to read the meeting minutes. You..."
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to help me sneak in. I just want to remind you of some security loopholes."
After reaching out and putting a hand on the security manager's shoulder, Leon reminded softly: "A lot of things have happened in your company recently. The brutal mobs outside just came to harass you today. You should also be vigilant. Get up.
For example, now, there are meetings with so many important guests from the Ministry of Highways, Ministry of Agriculture, Char Company, established aristocrats...how can there be no security personnel on duty at the door? "
"..."
Looking at the security manager who looked enlightened, Leon demanded:
"There should be changing uniforms in the duty room of your security department, right? Help me find a uniform with a similar figure... Hmm... One security guard is a bit strange. Call another security guard with an honest personality to come over and join me. How about guarding the conference room?"
After listening to Leon's request, the security manager couldn't help but hold his breath. He instinctively hoped that the devil would have less contact with people who might expose him. He couldn't help gritting his teeth and proactively suggested:
"How about I stay here with you..."
"No, no, no, no. You are the manager of the security department. How can you stand guard in person? What's more, you have more important tasks to do." After rejecting the security manager's proposal, Leon calmly ordered:
Well...in order to prevent me from taking the wrong things, I'll just put them under the family photo on your table. Oh, and looking at the emblem on the chest of the uniform in the photo, your wife seems to be a teacher at Victor Parish Primary School? If I guess correctly, your daughter should also go to school there, right? "
In the eyes of the security manager who suddenly became frightened, Leon withdrew the palm on his shoulder, smiled gently and said encouragingly: "It's great, my daughter is so lively and cute, and my wife who is a teacher is so beautiful." You are gentle and beautiful, and you are still a middle-level employee of a large company. Your life is already happier than 90% of the people in the royal capital.
So, promise me that you must be a good husband and a good father, and never let them down, okay? "
…
"Sorry, I can't agree to this."
After reading the compensation plan that had been revised to the seventh edition in his hand, the middle-aged man with long blond hair shook his head and refused calmly: "Starting from raising funds to renovate and expand municipal water pipes, every round we The Lane family has invested a lot of money, and the dividends in the past two years have only barely paid back.
If we follow this compensation plan, not only will this year's dividends be deducted, but last year's dividends will even be refunded, which our Lane family will not accept. "
"We, the York family, don't agree either."
"The Massenes objected."
"Three of the six directors have already rejected it, so it seems that there is no need to continue this round of voting."
After looking at the expressions of everyone in the conference room, the person in charge of presiding over the meeting shook his head and said to the ugly-looking middle-aged woman on the left: "Mrs. Charles, although you are in the process of establishing the water power company, "But I still suggest that you revise the proposal. The naive solution you hope for is absolutely impossible to pass."
"Modify...how else to modify this plan?"
I don’t know whether my patience has been worn away by the continuous pulling and pulling, or whether I was irritated by the sarcasm hidden in the manager’s words.
Although there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, the middle-aged woman who was still very beautiful stood up suddenly. Facing the cold eyes of the others, she raised her eyebrows and asked angrily: "We only took 30% of the dividends. You have to pay 50% of the compensation! What else do you want to do? Just let us pay for it all!”
"Mrs. Charles, please calm down."
After the middle-aged woman finished getting angry, the middle-aged man from the Lane family raised his knuckles, lightly tapped the table, and said calmly: "We didn't say that Charles Department Store would take all the responsibility, we just said We just have objections to the method of compensation. Rather than finding the so-called victims and paying them one by one, we hope to be more 'flexible' in the matter.
For example, in addition to the water supply business, the other five businesses such as energy, irrigation, and sewage can be separated out, and then a new company can be established, and Char Water Power Company can directly lose all the money, and then go bankrupt. "
Looking at the frightened and angry woman across from him, the middle-aged man leaned back on the sofa behind him and added calmly: "Since this is a problem with the water supply business, the compensation will only be limited to the water supply business. If the profit is good, there is no need to involve other parts of the hydraulic company. I personally think this is a very reasonable result, what do you think?”
