"...this is how it happens, what do you think? However, there is not much time left for us."

In the spacious and bright conference room of Vivendi Group, the CEO asked Renault to repeat the communication process with Andy Smith, and all the board members present had different expressions.

"Is he threatening?" asked a meticulous old man with sparse silver hair, frowned and coldly.

"It's not a threat, but whether we agree to the transaction or not, he will use this opportunity to attack General Electric. If we don't agree, we will just take us with us." Another director glanced at the other party indifferently and said.

"The 200 million US dollars of floating is quite a lot..."

“If the stock price continues to fall, we will lose more.”

"We can notify GE and fight back together..."

"Just, they can't protect themselves, how can they fight back? I agree to reach a deal with the other party. Now who will be unable to get along with the cash? Anyway, we have long wanted to sell those shares and keep them in our hands to continue to lose money?"

"I don't agree, that's $200 million. If he really wants to get that 20% stake, then he will complete the transaction at the previous price of $4.4 billion."

The directors in the conference room started to talk and talk. Sitting on the head seat, Renault looked at all this calmly and calmly. He had long been accustomed to this.

Since Vivendi went from a water company to a monster company that is now famous for acquiring broken-outs, the board of directors has never been calm. Directors have become more and more greedy and fed with successes and rich returns. Often, greedy people will become more and more stingy. It is common to turn against each other for a little profit.

"Where is your opinion?"

Seeing that the group of people had no result after arguing, they finally threw the problem back to Renault. After all, this eO has excellent abilities and saved Vivendi from the brink of over-expansion. The work done in the past six years is obvious to all, and her prestige in the company is still very great.

"We did not agree to Andy Smith's 4.4 billion quotation at the beginning, but we simply hope to get a larger offer from General Electric, which hopes to gain an absolute advantage in M&A negotiations by holding 100% NBC Global, thereby maximizing our own interests.

However, everyone, the premise of these plans is that Andy Smith is determined to implement the NBC Global M&A plan.

Now he told us that he would not play anymore, we and GE would get nothing, and he was ready to retaliate because he was unhappy. The problem was that he could complete the revenge.

What is certain is that Andy Smith does have great ambitions for NBC Global. It can be seen from the fact that he did not give up the 20% stake in our hands. If we don’t sell it to him, will you think about how he will treat us after he attacked General Electric and forced General Electric, which was already on the edge of the cliff, to complete the merger and acquisition?

What is the purpose of our separation from Universal Pictures and choosing to merge with NBC? Should we continue to come out every year and clamor for selling our shares, and then receive various unreliable offers, and continue to hold on to the shares that don’t have much dividend?"

Renault's face was serious and asked several questions in a row, which made the board members present silent. To be honest, these 20% of the shares are really useless for Vivendi, and the benefits are not taken into account. On the contrary, the poor profitability of NBC Global every year will also lead to their impoverished decline in the stock price of Vivendi, which is definitely a pitfall.

"Andy Smith is not a good boy. He is more or less aware of his reputation as a Gaia branch in London Financial Street. Do you think he will miss the opportunity to short our stocks?

I don't know if anyone has seen him. He gave me the impression that he is young, mature, decisive, and unconcealed ambitions that are inconsistent with his age. What's more important is that he has the ability to realize his ambitions.

Who here, including me, has the courage to eat 40 billion US dollars of gold under such a financial crisis?

If such a crazy person wants to take advantage of the situation to suppress our stock price, how much will you think we will suffer?"

The conference room became silent, and Renault was also helpless. It was not that he increased the ambition of others and destroyed his majesty. The words he said were also questions he had asked himself. He found that if it were him, he would not miss this opportunity and cut his flesh on the other party.

Is it really a good move to borrow it!

In the normal economic situation, this threat is simply a joke, but now it is a fatal threat from his cat. In panic, there will definitely be a tragedy of tragedy without any power to fight back. Don’t worry about the authenticity of the news, throw away the stocks first, and it will be a tragedy if you run slowly... It’s just that unreasonable and irrational.

"Jean, what do you mean is to agree to complete the deal with him?"

"That's right, everyone, don't forget that some problems have been snatched by the US and French regulators. I think through this transaction, we will completely end the trouble of the US investigation. In fact, we should have ended the tail left in 2000!"

Let Renault's words make the faces of the board members slightly change and become extremely ugly. Each of them knows that Vivendi's blind expansion caused the loss of more than 20 billion euros and was criticized by the whole country. The government investigated the crisis. At the same time, they also covered up a lot of losses and were always held by regulators in the United States and France.

"I will meet Andy Smith again to negotiate. Everyone, in fact, to take advantage of this opportunity to make some repurchases..."

As soon as Renault finished speaking, everyone who was still a little unwilling to accept his eyes suddenly lit up. Everyone present was a cunning old fox, and naturally they could express their feelings at once, and everyone expressed their consent, and their faces also showed a satisfied expression.

Looking at the directors' faces made Renault feel exhausted. Their character of getting cheaper will not change at all. They are the most sloppy when shearing wool in the secondary market.

"Okay, then thank you two goddesses for giving me this opportunity. I'll come over and pick you up immediately and see you later."

Andy smiled and shook his head, looked at the time on his watch, picked up his cell phone, and called his secretary of Luntong.

"Osteriafrane restaurant, three people, about three hours..." Andy explained to the phone while putting on the clothes with the help of his assistant. After hanging up the phone, he said to the assistant: "You can eat it yourself at noon, and go shopping when you are bored. By the way, notify the crew members and prepare to take off..."

The little assistant looked at the big devil who was quickly leaving helplessly. The two old women really didn't know why the big devil was so interested.

Naturally, she wouldn't understand Andy's thoughts. When she was young, everyone had their own goddess of dreams. Every time they appeared, they had a unique aura, which made people's heart beat faster and their expressions were at a loss.
