Chapter 0282: Rogoff's Choice

Brother Dog and his daughter-in-law worked hard to make a baby in the house, and Li Zitao drank so much outside that he was about to vomit.

was a little restrained at first, and when Li Zitao drank it clean and neat, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, no one cared who was big and who was small.

Li Zitao also did not refuse to come, and on weekdays, it was Brother Dog who helped him, and was in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. behind his back, and stood up to support the field when necessary.

Today, he has to help Brother Dog stand up in the field.

Drink!

"Wow" lying on the side of the bed, Li Zitao vomited so earth-shattering.

One person, who drank almost 200 tables in turn, had to vomit on anyone's side, and it was useless to mutate.

Adellaid sat on the edge of the bed and took care of him, and the servants went in and out, changing pots, towels, and decanting pills, in an orderly and silent manner.

"Drink, go on, come on!" Li Zitao raised his hand and shouted.

"......" slapped his arm speechlessly, Adelaide was so angry and funny, she rarely saw him like this.

On weekdays, he is always cynical, but he is thoughtful, calm and spicy, not at all like the city government that a person of his age should have.

This will, on the contrary, look a little young, energetic.

"Dog's day, don't give me a system when you send me, mutation or passive, don't give it to me" muttered again.

It's not the first time Adelaid has heard it, but she's only heard a limited number of words.

She doesn't know Chinese, but since she established a relationship with Li Zitao, she has been secretly learning.

As a wife, if you don't even know her husband's race, language, culture and history, how can she really integrate into his heart?

Adeleid wanted him to be proud of himself and proud of her, and that would be her pride as well.

However, it was difficult for her to understand what her fiancé said after drinking.

Send, one, poop, constipation, give, I ???

Li Zitao said too quickly and vaguely, and Adelaid only understood these words, "Send, one, stool, secret, give it to me." ”

After reading it several times, she took this sentence to heart and wanted to find her Chinese teacher to translate it when she had time.

Maybe he will know, what is the real meaning of this sentence?

......

......

"En~" Rubbing his somewhat dazed head, Li Zitao opened his eyelids and got up in a trance.

He couldn't remember exactly how much he drank last night, but he only knew that cups of white wine and red wine were poured into his stomach like water.

Later, he made a complete short film, and I don't know how he came back.

The fiancée was lying on the side of the bed and was already asleep, rubbing her head, Li Zitao picked her up and put her on the bed, and then walked out of the room.

"Sir. Dan stood guard at the door.

"Give me a glass to sober up. "Leave it alone, it'll make him feel better.

The brain was as heavy as if it had been beaten a few times with a hammer, and it was too uncomfortable.

After drinking two cups of special decanting tea, Li Zitao leaned back on the sofa and did not recover slightly until noon.

"Sir, this is a document from a think tank. Hogg came with a telegram.

It was the result of negotiations between Albert and Bethlehem, and the two sides talked back and forth for a week, and the outcome was very unsatisfactory.

American Steel has stepped in, and they are actively contacting Albert Steel to replace Bethlehem.

In terms of size and influence, American Steel Group has a stronger advantage than Bethlehem.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Zitao still held 30 percent of the shares, and the Grand Duke family was also inclined to Bethlehem, there would be no point in continuing the negotiations between the two sides.

"Make appropriate concessions, and we must not allow U.S. Steel to take its place. Li Zitao personally called the think tank.

Once U.S. Steel and Albert join forces, Bethlehem will completely lose room for development.

The current market size will be gradually reduced until it is completely uncompetitive.

When the time comes, there are only two paths left for it, to be acquired, to go bankrupt.

......

......

"Director Rogoff, we have made concessions to your request, and the reduction of Bethlehem's stake to 29 percent is our utmost sincerity. ”

Ben got up and handed the document to Roger on the other side, and continued, "U.S. Steel is stronger, but I think you have heard of the greed of the Morgan consortium. ”

In this regard, no one can deny that the industry hegemony of U.S. Steel is not something that Bethlehem, the second in the rankings, can challenge.

If this were not the case, why did Li Zitao have to facilitate the merger with Albert.

"His Excellency the Marquis's methods, we are equally clear. Roger said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"But the Marquis's affection for his friend will be recognized by all the United States. Ben was reminding him that Li Zitao's care for his friends was well known.

And whether he wants to be an enemy or a friend depends on his choice.

Roger Cappelona, Albert's third largest shareholder, but the leader of the other three major companies and minority shareholders.

Whether it is in the association or in the guild, he has a strong influence, and this matter must be convincing him first.

As long as he can get his approval, then the obstacles to the merger of Albert and Bethlehem will be reduced by half.

Roger Cappelona was also thinking about whether to be a friend or an enemy.

Li Zitao holds 30 percent of Albert's shares, and the Grand Duke family also controls 37 percent, which is crucial.

Whoever wants to go their own way will be in trouble even if they end up making a deal.

After the merger, if the huge group has a hostile attitude and forcibly merges together, there is no coordination and cooperation at all, it will inevitably perish and be eliminated by the market.

That's exactly what they're shying away from, and both sides are doing everything they can to avoid it.

Moreover, Li Zitao is currently in the limelight in North America, overthrowing the Kendi family and making the Boston consortium suffer.

Joseph Kendi Sr. was imprisoned, and in an instant, he fell from a first-class family in the United States to a third-rate family, and it was difficult to move.

There are also many comments about the details of this matter, and although those conspiracy theories cannot be fully believed, they are still worrying.

"It feels terrible. Roger cursed in his heart.

Friend or foe? He has to make a choice.

20 minutes later, the conference room.

This is the 7th meeting this week, and every day they are chattering and arguing here.

The atmosphere full of gunpowder made everyone tired.

The main seat was filled with representatives from all sides, and the assistants, recorders, and men who stood silently around the wall were also filled with the same people's assistants, recorders, and men who stood silent.

"I approve of the proposed merger of Bethlehem and Albert, and, by personal telephone from the Marquis, the Marquis has reduced the shareholding to 31 per cent in good faith,

Your Excellency is willing to concede 11 points, which shows me the importance and friendship he attaches to us, and the demands of American Steel are more like robbers, friends"

Ben was slightly startled when he heard Roger take the lead in speaking, and then ecstasy rose in his heart, and the big stone he lifted was also put down.

Roger's performance at the moment and took the initiative to increase the stake by 3 percentage points undoubtedly shows that he made a judgment and chose Li Zitao's friendship.

And this is also the most correct and easy choice for him.

After all, Li Zitao and the Grand Duke hold a total of 67 percent of Albert's shares, and it is even more difficult to facilitate cooperation with U.S. Steel than it is now.
