Ten billion, which is not a small number. But it's not a big amount for major shareholders. In his heyday, he held more than 10 billion shares of General Electric alone, not to mention other assets in his hands.

So this is taking advantage of the fire, and it is completely taking advantage of him. But at this special time, the majority shareholder can't say anything about refusal.

It is true that 10 billion is not much, but this 10 billion is just right to solve his urgent need at this time. As long as he can get the 10 billion, plus the money he used to sell his assets, he can repay the arrears from the bank. And as long as the bank's debt problem is solved, he will still be a glamorous billionaire.

You don't have to wander and beg, and you don't have to go to a taller building to take a leap. Although it is impossible to live the kind of life of power and superiority like he did when he was at General Electric. But it is not a big problem to go to a remote place, buy a large ranch or fishing ground, and live a prosperous life for the rest of your life.

It can be said that this 10 billion is very critical, and it is critical to the point where it will determine the rest of his life. In the face of such a transaction, although the major shareholders are resentful and angry, they also have to think about it in their hearts.

There weren't many options left for him, or he would take over the money and get out of this maelstrom. Or refuse, and then live and die with General Electric. Although the latter does not mean that there is no chance of a comeback, that opportunity is too ethereal. After confirming that they would not receive any help, the major shareholders did not have any hope that the other shareholders would be able to find a solution.

So the choice is actually a very simple matter, except for the former, he doesn't think he has a better choice. It's just that for this price, he still has a little bit of a mustard in his heart.

With more than 20 percent of GE shares in his hands, he is equivalent to holding 50 billion yuan in his hands when everything is normal at GE. You know, that's General Electric, one of the oldest diversified companies in the United States. From the field of heavy industry to financial services, from medical imaging to the electronics industry, its diversification has long been involved in all aspects.

The huge figure represents the huge wealth, and the assets of GE have been in the forefront of the world's top 500 companies all year round. Moreover, it has a lot of honors, such as the world's top 100 companies that are respected, what wealth is the world's most appreciated company, what is the world's top 100 most valuable brands, and so on. GE is almost always on the list, and it's at the top.

It can be said that in this world, in addition to superstar companies such as Stark, Corona, Osborne, and Apple, General Electric can definitely be called the one that competes for the top spot. In this case, if such a thing had not happened, the shares in the hands of major shareholders would definitely only go up but not down. So naturally, it is impossible for him to be satisfied with such a figure as 10 billion.

At this point, he felt he needed a fair judgment, so immediately, he fought for Harry.

"Mr. Osborne, you're taking advantage of the fire. Billion? The stocks in my hands are worth at least 50 billion. You should know that if it weren't for this sudden stock crisis, even if you really took 50 billion in front of me, you wouldn't have thought that I would agree to this deal. It's an opportunity, yes. But that doesn't mean you can take that much for nothing. There are not such good things in this world yet. ”

"12 billion, this is the highest price I can offer. If you don't agree, then I'll just say sorry for the deal between us. ”

Hearing the words of the major shareholder, Harry knew that the transaction between them had entered the most common bargaining link of capitalists. Seriously, this link actually made him very impatient. He is more accustomed to doing something directly than on something. So if he could, he really wanted to leave this kind of thing to more professional people to do. Unfortunately, this kind of transaction is not a sight to behold. Therefore, he could only reluctantly take out his own price, and showed his willingness to bargain like this again.

That's what he thinks, but unfortunately, the majority shareholder doesn't think so. This is related to the happiness of the rest of his life, so it is natural for him to want to fight for more for himself. Because of this, although he had clearly seen Harry's impatience, he still insisted on it.

"At least 30 billion. GE is worth the price, you know. It's just a stock market turmoil, and GE's production hasn't been affected in any way. As long as there is sufficient funds to support its operation, it will continue to generate benefits for you. As long as you climb for a while, as long as you survive this while, you are definitely worth the money. ”

"That's right, wait a while." Hehe smiled, Harry, who didn't intend to save face for the majority shareholder, just laughed at him. "When the bank declares you bankrupt, it starts forcibly depriving you of your property. And when I start the auction with your shares pledged in the bank, I can really get what I want at a good price. Mr. Jones, do you think I must be stupid at a young age? Three tens of billion? With 30 billion, I can get more of what I want from the bank. Don't think you're the only one holding a GM stake in your hands. It's just that I fancy that you have the most shares in your hand, so I will leave you this opportunity. That doesn't mean you can just open your mouth to me. Now you don't have this qualification at all. Again, 12 billion. I'll give you two minutes to think about it, and if you don't want to, then we'll see you at the bank auction. ”

At such a point, there is no room for turnaround. The major shareholder knew this very well, after all, it was him, not Harry, who was asking for help now, so in the end, he could only sigh in despair, and then replied with a gloomy face.

"Okay, it's 12 billion. But I want cash! ”

"Yes, tomorrow I will send my lawyer and representative to the general electric shareholder meeting in person to sign the relevant agreement with you. As soon as you sign, the funds from my side will be transferred to your account immediately. In that case, you shouldn't have any opinions. "Of course, that's it. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go over and sign a contract with you. ”

After saying such a sentence in a mood that he didn't know, the major shareholder had already put down the phone. At this time, the most emotion in his heart was loss. Because he knew that when the call was over, he was about to lose his greatest wealth.

In any case, it has been decades since he took over GE's stock. Such a long time is enough for him to develop a special affection for General Electric. And now, I have to cut off this emotion with my own hands and entrust it to another person, and it is impossible to say that I will not lose it.

But in addition to the loss, he inevitably had a kind of happiness, even a hint of schadenfreude.

Thankfully, he was able to avoid a catastrophe in his life. With no one to help him, he unexpectedly gets a chance to be redeemed. He even said that he also won more benefits for himself. Two billion more than the previous price, enough for him to buy a large ranch in remote Montana. This is enough for him to enjoy his old age and even give his children and grandchildren a wealth that can be passed on for generations.

That's enough, that's enough. In any case, this is already the best ending for him and for their family. He had every reason to be glad about it, and it really needed to be celebrated.

Of course, that didn't mean he was going back to thank Harry. In his eyes, Harry Osben is still the villain who took advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well. And it was precisely because of this thought that he had a sense of schadenfreude over Harry's acquisition of his shares.

You know, General Electric at this time is a hot potato. Although it is true that they can get GM's shares at the lowest price at this time, it does not mean that they can really take GE for themselves now.

Anyway, there's a terrible predator out there staring at GE. Anyone who dares to take over at this time will inevitably have to deal with the predator opposite. And judging by the aggressiveness and appetite shown by the predator, the result of this kind of dealing is bound to be not easy.

In the eyes of the major shareholders, the capital on the other side will not look at what face you will save if you change someone. Since they have done such a bad thing, then they will definitely continue their previous behavior with a spirit of not giving up until they have achieved their goal.

The more the crackdown, the stronger the pressure on GE becomes, and in this case, anyone who accepts GE shares will have to face the problem that the stock they bought at such a bargain price could fall to a price that shocks them at an incredible price. Unless they can ruthlessly play the game of money with the other side, their situation will not improve in any way.

Either way, the end result will be a huge loss. And this is the reason why the majority shareholder gloats, because in any case it is already someone else's trouble, not his. What he has to do now is very simple, that is, sign that contract, get rid of this trouble, that's all!
