Chapter 1309 Ruthless and Ruthless
The question of which is more important, the media emperor and the consortium is simply not an answer for ordinary shareholders.
Because no matter how legendary Lei Shidong's body is, he is just a person. Even if it creates a value of tens of billions of dollars, it is still not worth mentioning compared to the power of the consortium. Which of these big conglomerates in the United States is not a behemoth worth trillions, and standing with them, the media emperor is simply insignificant.
With such a gap, smart shareholders certainly know what choice they should make. offended Lei Shidong, at most, he was resentful, an old man in his eighties, and he couldn't do anything to them. But if you offend the consortium, the result is completely different.
The corporations are powerful enough to destroy everything they depend on for their survival, and they can drive themselves from the top of the high society to the lowest garbage heap of humanity at the touch of a finger. I didn't want to encounter such a thing, so immediately, the shareholders chimed in.
"If it is the meaning of the consortium, of course we are willing to cooperate with the consortium, which is the most promising thing."
"The era that belongs to you Lei Shidong has passed, and what you should do now is to enjoy your old age in peace, instead of resisting here stubbornly. Listen to our advice, Mr. Lei Shidong, it's time for you to let go of Viacom. ”
"Lei Shidong, don't always think of Viacom as your own. Although it is true that you created the glory of Viacom. But Viacom is no longer your property. He belongs to all of us. We have the right to decide the future of Viacom. ”
It is really a cruel thing for an old man to let go of the existence that he has struggled all his life to create. But, as the shareholders say, Viacom is no longer his private property. If Viacom needs to grow, he must raise money by selling his shares. In the past few decades, the shares in Lei Shidong's hands have already fallen into the hands of these shareholders. Although he is still Viacom's largest shareholder, his shares have no effect on the combined efforts of other shareholders.
In the past, these shareholders were scattered, and they never reached a consensus. And now, under the pressure of the consortium, they are directly twisted into a rope, which makes Lei Shidong fall into despair in an instant. He's realized the brutal truth, and he's realized that he can no longer change the minds of these guys. This huge blow made the old man's heart boil immediately, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.
After all, he is too old, and at such an age, it is already time to ignore the world and enjoy his destiny. But because of the spirit in his heart, he never regarded himself as an old man. From the age of sixty to the present, he has always been high-spirited, treating himself as the prime of life. Although this kind of spiritual head is commendable, it can't change the fact that his body is already dying and decrepit.
A person of his age cannot be said to be healthy in any way. Especially he himself is still short-tempered, and short-tempered people are always inevitably sick with cerebrovascular or something. It's the same with him. He has heart disease and often carries special fast-acting drugs with him. So just when his body was trembling, he couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket and took out the medicine bottle tremblingly.
He wanted to put down his symptoms for a while, and then find a way to solve the problem in front of him. Then, just as he had such an idea, the shareholder representing the consortium had already walked up to him and snatched the medicine bottle from his hand.
"Mr. Lei Shidong, please respect us. The most important thing you should do at this time is to give us an answer, instead of delaying time by taking medicine as you are now. Everyone's time is precious, so it's best to get back to us right away. ”
Saying such words, the representative of the consortium had already unceremoniously put away the medicine bottles in his hand. Seeing him act like this, Lei Shidong's eyes immediately widened, trembling and pointing at his face, and said to him with a somewhat trembling voice.
"You, how dare you"
"Why don't I dare, just because you are Lei Shidong?" Shaking his head, a disdainful smile hung on the shareholder's face. "It's not as intimidating as it used to be. Let me tell you so, Mr. Lei Shidong. This is an order from the top management of the consortium, and we have already made up our minds to cooperate with the Chinese, which is related to the general direction of the future development of the consortium. Therefore, you better not do the kind of mantis arm as the Chinese often say, self-defeating. It won't do you any good. ”
Although "I" was a persuasive tone, Lei Shidong could not be persuaded by this kind of words at all. His heart was still angry, especially the action just now, which turned the anger in his heart into hatred. He is not very popular, otherwise it would be impossible for a person in his eighties to still have a violent temper. If this were normal, even if he didn't beat him personally, he would definitely let the assistant bodyguard next to him give him a good look. However, it is a pity that at the current shareholders' meeting, he can't do either. So he could only stare dryly and let out heavy breaths.
This is a normal person's way to soothe their emotions, but at the moment, this method can't play a big role for him. He had heart disease, and in this emotional situation, the pressure on his heart blood vessels increased exponentially, and without the help of medicine, he could not relieve the pressure in his heart at all. And his medicine is not in his hand at all now, so he can only endure the pressure of this heart disease, and under this pressure, he has a little myocardial angina, and his face turns pale.
At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has reached a very dangerous stage. If you don't get medical attention as soon as possible, something may go wrong. And with his status, no matter what the problem is, I'm afraid it will be big news.
No one here wants to be in the news for no reason, and no one wants to be there as a negative person. So immediately, someone wanted to do something, but at this time, the shareholder who represented the consortium glared and said a little unceremoniously.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that when we have a meeting, we are not allowed to make phone calls? ”
"But Your Excellency, Mr. Lei Shidong's condition may be a little bad, he should need medical assistance now."
Putting down the phone in his hand in a daze, the shareholder who wanted to call for help said with a wince. Hearing his words, the representative of the consortium raised the corners of his mouth, and then sneered.
"Isn't it good? Which eye do you see that something is not good? Lei Shidong was just sulking, maybe a little pretentious. If that's not good, then can I say that I am terminally ill and need your generosity? ”
Speaking of this, his face turned to the side, and his whole expression became fierce. And with such a fierce look, he had already warned sharply.
"Don't forget that you're on that side. Think about this and decide what you want to do. This is not the time for you to squander your compassion. In doing so, you'd better make it clear to me whether you can afford the final price! Do you understand? ”
"Got it!" With a somewhat frightened look on his face, the shareholder who was overflowing with sympathy for a while had already put down the phone in his hand. And seeing him act like this, Lei Shidong's eyes, whose face had become very miserable, were already filled with despair.
He knew he was done. Because at this time, only he knows what kind of condition his body has become. He was almost unable to breathe, and even his mind began to experience dizziness and hallucinations. The angic pain in his heart became more and more intense, and his whole body reached the point where it was already uncontrollable.
At this time, he wanted to save himself, and wanted to rush out from here to call for help with his last bit of strength. But before he could stand up straight, the trance of consciousness and the severe pain in his physiology had already made him lose the strength to stand firm, and the whole person suddenly fell down on his stomach.
And as soon as he fell, the entire board of directors became silent.
Almost all of them were duly stunned, because none of them could have imagined that things would come to this point so quickly. This made them feel a deep fear in their hearts, both for the representatives of the consortium and for the consortium itself. And at the same time as this fear and horror, they also involuntarily put their doubtful eyes on the representative.
Lei Shidong has fallen, so the backbone of this place has become him. And what kind of way he will choose to deal with Lei Shidong at this time, this is the question that all of them are concerned about.
Leave it alone until his corpse gets cold. Although there is nothing wrong with this approach, it will inevitably make people feel a little too ruthless. If the consortium uses this method to deal with Lei Shidong, then it may not use this way to deal with them. Although they are now on the side of the consortium, there is no guarantee that the consortium will not find them an eyesore in the future. And if the consortium chooses to deal with them in the same way, it will be terrible.
With this in mind, the shareholders became a little self-assured. And as if he knew what they were thinking, the representative of the consortium immediately opened his mouth and ordered loudly at them.
"What are you doing in a daze, didn't you see that Mr. Lei Shidong had fainted? Don't call a doctor yet. Also, don't forget to get back to Mr. Wang and tell him that our board of directors has agreed to his acquisition proposal. Hopefully he will sign the contract with us as soon as possible. ”
"However, Mr. Lei Shidong he hasn't yet."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Mr. Lei Shidong's family. Hopefully they can convince the old guy that this is his last chance. ”
