Chapter 1151: Negotiation
Joey couldn't believe that he actually appeared in the conference room of the RAND Group with the identity card of the visitor one day, and the employees who walked by outside the door were whispering, making Joey feel that his face was becoming more and more ugly.
By this time, it was the second day after the incident, and Joey finally contacted Ward and came to the RAND Group again.
"Do you need anything before we begin?" Lawrence walked in from the outside with a triumphant look on his face, and said to the two of them with satisfaction, "How is my coffee?" We purchased a new espresso machine. ”
"Less acting, Lawrence." Joey's eyes fell on the two documents that Lawrence had brought in, and said very politely, "Let's hurry up and finish things, and then the two of us will go and clean up our offices." ”
"Oh, your stuff has been packed." Lawrence's expression was very exaggerated, and then his face turned cold again, and he said, "Of course, everything that belongs to the RAND Group cannot be taken away. The box will teach you, and you're done with the termination contract. ”
"Are you going to blackmail us with our gadgets?" Ward looked at Lawrence with disdain.
"It's not just gadgets, Ward, I have something that can't be replaced." Joey forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "The photos of Dad and Mom are also in it. ”
Lawrence smiled reluctantly and said, "Like I said, you can get those things if you sign them." You'll find that I've given you a lot of severance pay, $100 million each. ”
"Huh!" Ward sneered disdainfully, took hundreds of pages of contract text, and said while reading: "We gave Danny so much at the beginning. ”
That's right, the world is good for reincarnation, and now it's their turn again, Lawrence couldn't help but smile and said, "It's ironic, isn't it?" ”
"Be proud now, Lawrence, and when I sit down at the other end of the table, I promise you won't be able to laugh." Joey sat there motionless, with a cold face, after all, the two brothers and sisters are shareholders of the RAND Group, although they were expelled by the board of directors of this session, but when the next shareholders' meeting is held and the board of directors is re-elected, with their shares and Lanniel Rand, they will definitely be able to return to the board of directors.
And together, they have already controlled more than 67% of the company's equity, and Lawrence and others will be completely kicked out of the game at that time.
"You can only blame each other, it was a bad decision to bring Danny back to the company, and luckily we didn't give him a position, so we didn't have to give him severance pay." Lawrence spread his hands indifferently, to be honest, he couldn't be blamed for this incident, although he did secretly have a collusion, but if it wasn't for what Daniel Rand did, he couldn't have gotten all the remaining board members of the company to agree to let the three of them kick out.
"What a blessing in misfortune." For the last point, Ward also agreed. But on the other hand, if he hadn't cooperated with Daniel on the board, Daniel would not have been able to do so many things that were detrimental to the company's interests, and eventually the rest of the board couldn't bear it.
Joey disagreed with Lawrence and Ward's remarks, and said unceremoniously: "Danny may have lost a little money to the company, and he has improved the public image of the RAND Group, which is enough to make up for his loss to the company, and the stock will recover." ”
"But they bought a warehouse and a dock without any clear reason, and still refused to settle the class action lawsuit!" Lawrence's eyes fell on Ward's body, looked at Ward, who was a little suddenly uneasy, and said: "This has been repeated three times, this agreement has no room for negotiation, you all have to sign, otherwise you won't get anything." ”
"Ward, are you going to join the discussion?" Joey also noticed Ward's distraction, and she had to give him a push. But in addition to Ward's reaction, the whole person acted as if he had no soul, and his thoughts were completely offline, which made Joey can't help but wonder if he was taking drugs again.
At this time, Lawrence was overjoyed, and then said: "I said, you all have to sign, otherwise you won't talk." ”
"Do you have a pen?" Sure enough, Ward, who was desperate, raised his head violently and said such a sentence to Lawrence, which made the other two people directly stunned.
Lawrence immediately took out the pen from his arms and wanted to hand it over, but Joey just reached out to stop him, and then said to Lawrence, "Can you give us a little time, we need to discuss it properly." ”
Lawrence smiled lightly, put the pen back in his hand, and said indifferently: "You guys take your time, we have time." ”
Standing up, Lawrence left the conference room directly, and by this time, Joey finally couldn't help but turn to look at Ward, and said angrily, "'Got a pen?'" 'Ward, what's the matter with you?' ”
"I don't think the pencil has the force of law." Ward turned his head to look at Joey with an indifferent expression, his attitude was already self-evident.
Joey looked at me in disbelief Ward: "How can you ...... How can you sign it without considering me at all! ”
"Our options are either gold insurance or nothing." Ward frowned and said, "This decision seems obvious. ”
"How much medicine did you take today?" Joey gritted her teeth and lowered her voice to pop these words out of her mouth, and her heart really hurt for a while.
"Are you really that hard to believe I don't mind?" Ward sighed and looked up at his sister, knowing that he didn't want to quit the RAND Group once or twice, he had discussed this matter carefully with Joey at all times, but Joey had always stopped him.
Joey also stared at Ward tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, yes. Not so long ago, you were like a madman trying to prevent Danny from taking control of the company. ”
"You know what, Joey!" Ward reached out and shook his sister's hand, then said, "I've been thinking a lot lately about our last summer in the Hamptons with Dad. Do you remember? What do you say you want to be when you grow up? ”
Hearing Ward mention the past, Joey's tone couldn't help but soften and said, "What does that have to do with today?" ”
"Raising horses?" Ward couldn't help but smile and said, "You've been talking, I sometimes think that if Dad hadn't tied our inheritance to the work of the RAND Group, maybe you would be running the horse farm now." ”
"I won't." Joey shook his head and sighed, "I was only 12 years old at the time, and it was just a stupid daydream. ”
"Perhaps, but that's your daydream, not Daddy's!" Ward patted the back of Joey's hand and said with emotion: "This is our chance to stop living the life he set for us and write our own destiny." ”
But Daddy is still alive, at least that's what Joey thinks now. Close at hand, Joey stared into Ward's eyes, she didn't know what Harold was going to do with it, but from her own point of view, she was absolutely unwilling to give up.
She nodded and said, "I admit that working at the RAND Group was really not my first choice. I had just left law school, and no one here looked down on me, and they had the right to do that, and I didn't want to be so good at it. So I worked hard to understand the business, and then I earned the respect of my colleagues. Yes, part of the reason I wanted to stay was because of my connection with my dad, and part of what I wanted to stay was because of myself. ”
Joey slowly withdrew his hand, stood up and looked at Ward, and then said with a look of disgruntle: "Because of my achievements, I have earned my position, I will not just let go, I will not give up so easily." ”
"Joey, we can't win." Ward couldn't help but smile bitterly, all of what Lawrence did was within the scope of the Listed Company Law, and if the two of them wanted to turn things around, it was simply impossible, so they could only wait until the next shareholders' meeting was held, and then find a way to clean up these people, not now.
"Maybe not." Joey looked at Ward who stood up, bit her lip, and had the urge to say something, but she still forcibly suppressed herself, and said with a slight reminder: "If I can come up with a good strategy, are you at least willing to think about it?" ”
