Chapter 1196
"That's not the point!"
In the light screen in the center, an elderly man with gray hair and a golf shirt said in a heavy voice: "I think it's time for our Kang Caier family to re-examine the relationship with the Zhang family. β
"The strength of the Weiyan Group is good news for us, which is beneficial to the stability of Kangcaier. I have deep admiration for the Patriarch's abilities, and it is because of your wise decisions that this quasi-ally relationship can continue to be maintained!"
The voice came from the light screen on the right: "But Claudien, allies also need to be maintained, and the bond between the Majesty Group and Kang Caier is far from strong enough. β
"So, you're trying to interfere with Corona's marriage?"
Claudine Conzel seemed to have expected it, and smiled bitterly without surprise: "I have no objection to this marriage, but I hope that you can respect Corona herself." β
"Corona herself, a little child, what does she know?"
The old man in the central light screen looked displeased: "The family has given her everything she wants, and now it's time for her to repay the family." β
"The so-called refusal to marry is just playing with a child's temper, and no one in high society will take it seriously. Zhang Changzhi is currently the hottest young man in the Earth Federation, what else is she not satisfied with?"
"Claudine! This matter is decided, the Kang Cai Er family needs the military backing of the Wei Yan Group, and the Shenwei Zhang family also needs the media, intelligence and political resources of the Kang Cai Er Group. The alliance between the two families is a match made in heaven. What's moreβ"
The figure in the light screen on the left side of the screen said in a loud voice: "This marriage involves all aspects. Corona wants to get out of the marriage, how can it be so simple? This makes other families, how do they think of us Kang Caier?"
Claudio rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Can't you wait a little longer? The current situation on the Yingzhou side is far from the point where the dust has settled." Even this time, it is unknown whether he will be able to retreat from Yingzhou. β
He was very strange, according to the personalities of these elders in the past, at this time, should he just sit on the sidelines and continue to look at the general trend before deciding?
"I mean, the icing on the cake is better than the icing on the cake. β
It was the white-haired old man who answered: "If it's just the Weiyan Group, then there may still be suspense on the Yingzhou side, but if you add the Kang Caier Group, then no one can defeat us in Yingzhou." β
At this time, the sturdy middle-aged man in the light screen on the left side also frowned: "Can't delay any longer, Claudine." Even if Zhang Changzhi is defeated in Yingzhou this time, as long as he can return to Guangcheng safely, then the Weiyan Group can still maintain the situation, and now it is not the situation before, and their family is in danger. In addition, no matter how strong Bernardine's ability is, it is impossible to bring all the people of the Shenwei Zhang clan to justice. But we in Konzel, who I am now in the party, have heard very bad news. Some parliamentarians believe that the Kang Caier Group's commercial territory in several star fields near the capital has constituted a de facto monopoly of public opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if, two months later, a bill restricting media groups was on the agenda of the Senate and House of Representatives. β
Claudine's expression suddenly froze, he knew that the situation of the Kang Caier Group was very difficult now, but had it already reached this point?
"You can't let Corona be willful, Patriarch. Now the fact is that we need the Majesty Group more than the other way around. β
The other person also said in a heavy voice: "Originally, a few of us could make a decision on this matter, but in the end, we still plan to give you enough respect to the patriarch." β
Claudine also sighed: "I need to think about it again, please give Corona a little time, how about a month? β
The three people in the light screen glanced at each other, and finally the person on the right shook his head and said, "A month is too long, half a month at most, so it's decided." Tell Corona that if she dares to object, then the family will definitely react accordingly. β
In the next moment, the three people in front of Claudien all ended the video communication in unison. Claudine sat in her office chair and pondered.
After a while, he shook his head slightly and opened the relatives column in his address book.
β»β»β»β»
"Father, you can't do this,"
After a minute, Corona's expression looked angry: "What do you mean by only giving me half a month, is this an ultimatum?"
"If you want to understand it that way, it's not impossible. β
In the personal terminal bracelet, Claudien's voice came: "This is the limit I can achieve for you, after half a month, you need to make a choice after all." Give the family what they want in return, or completely break away from independence. β
Corona couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and at this time, the tone of the chairman of the news corp. was calm and unwavering. But she had already heard an unshakable determination from these two short sentences.
"I see!"
Corona took a deep breath and calmed down, "Thank you, Father, for this time for me. In half a month, I will give an answer to the family. β
When the video communication ended, Coruna opened her company's various reports as soon as possible, especially the financial reports.
But she had only been watching for about ten minutes before there was a knock on the door outside the office. Then she walked in and was none other than Ms. Jeffrey, her assistant to the executive officer.
"Is there something going on?"
Corona looked at the woman in front of her with some puzzlement: "Is it related to the company?"
Because she personally serves as the CEO of the company, Ms. Jeffrey in front of her substantially performs some of the responsibilities of the CEO.
But now, it's time to get off work.
"It's Leph Cosmeceutical Technologies Co., Ltd., and there's a new situation. β
Ms. Jeffrey had a sad look: "Yesterday, Alpha Pharmaceuticals made a bid to Lev Cosmeceutical Technologies Co., Ltd., with a total price of 970 million federal dollars. Several major shareholders of Lev Cosmeceuticals have also leaned towards the acquisition plan of Lev Cosmeceuticals. β
Corona couldn't help but stand up: "Nine seven hundred million? Are they crazy?"
Although the assets of Lev Cosmeceuticals are large, its liabilities are also high. In the past five years, nine consecutive products have encountered Waterloo in the market and failed to supply blood to the company. And the marketing system that it has spent a lot of money to build itself has also lost money year after year, which has become a huge burden for Leif Cosmeceuticals.
So as a result of their assessment, the offer of 400 million federal coins is the limit. Exceeding this price could be beyond the limits of Salomon Beauty's affordability.
But this time, Alpha Pharmaceutical, on this basis, directly increased the price by 142%.
This means that their previous month-and-a-half-long and painstaking acquisition negotiations have been completely put to waste.
"Crazy? Maybe. The problem is that the so-called financial genius has dozens of times more money in his hands than we do. β
Ms. Jeffrey sighed softly, "In addition, he is also the chairman of the board of directors of the Majesty Group, and he has enough ability to clean up the debts of Leif Cosmeceuticals. Before Zoe's shopping, the Reformer Bank was an example. Therefore, the acquisition structure that Alpha Pharmaceutical can afford is indeed far above ours. So I'd like to ask the chairman, to think carefully about this acquisition, unless you're planning to use your family's resources. β
