Chapter 382 Bah, French!(2/3)
Henry's eyes lit up slightly. He suppressed his fear and tried to keep his brain running. The businessman, that is, the representative could trade, "What can I, or our company, pay to reduce losses."
"Not bad, not bad!" Sean smiled and clapped his hands: "I like the way you talk. You can see reality clearly."
"Sure enough, anyone who can achieve success has his merits."
Henry forced a smile, and he felt that he seemed to have found the right way to talk to Sean.
"I don't have much exposure to mining. I only have one company that mines oil sands in Canada and one that mines coal in Colombia. Although they are both mining companies, I know there are big differences."
"Yes, even the mining methods of phosphate mines in different regions are different. What is mined in Morocco and Western Sahara is a sandy ore with very small particles." Henry nodded and said.
"I have many industries under my name, and they are distributed in different industries, so I never and cannot manage each one." Sean looked at Henry and continued with a smile: "The phosphate mining here in North Africa
I am determined, even if Jesus comes, it will be of no use."
"Of course, in my opinion, the mining of phosphate mines in Morocco, including the Western Sahara region, is still too rudimentary. The scale should be larger and the processing should be more refined. Although it is not suitable for research here, it does not delay the expansion of production scale.
Enrich product lines.”
"However, I don't like management, and I don't have time to keep an eye on how the company operates. I only look at the results. Therefore, I need a manager, a smart one who knows how to examine the appropriateness and a courageous manager!"
"I'm very good at trusting others." Sean leaned over slightly and stared at Henry. He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a half-smile: "Now, I'm very optimistic about you. How about helping me manage the relevant affairs here?"
industry."
"You can completely let go of your hands and feet, take a longer view, and be bolder. I am never used to interfering with my subordinates."
"Currently, the people who help me actually manage the company have never done anything unseemly. They are all dedicated to their responsibilities, and the treatment I give them is absolutely satisfactory to them."
Henry was stunned when he heard this, his mouth twitched, and he shouted wildly in his heart: Don't think that since English is not my mother tongue, I can't understand that you are talking about "living people". That's because the people who did the manipulation are all dead!
Henry had no doubt whether Sean dared to do this.
Interestingly, the so-called professional ethics of professional managers are actually not very high. If given the opportunity, they would never mind taking a bite out of the company they work for.
Because this kind of behavior is consistent with the professional attitude of a capital!
The shopping mall is like a primitive jungle, where the strong survive and the weak die, there is absolutely no mercy.
However, even if these professional managers who have done harm to the company's interests are discovered, they will rarely be punished.
Whether at home or abroad, very few people bring them to court. The reason is that professional managers know too much about the company's secrets.
When they actually go to court, they dare to say anything in order to reduce the sentence.
So in most cases the breakup is amicable.
Let me give you an example (emphasis added, I didn’t mention the starting point, so don’t think about it):
A senior manager took advantage of his position to engage in theft in private... ahem, he made a lot of money and harmed the interests of the company and the author. In the end, this matter was discovered by the head office.
So, what should we do at this time?
One: Take people to court. But according to the law, even the maximum penalty for piracy is very low. It can’t be fined a few dollars and it can’t be imprisoned for two years. In fact, the profits gained from piracy cannot be effectively measured at all. This money is basically abroad.
Therefore, the result of going to court is to accept a small fine and then let it go. People in the company are panicked, which may cause a wave of resignations and cause a second blow to the company. The actual executors are actually managers, and managers should not embarrass managers.
.
Two: Reconciliate privately, then it is possible to recover part of the losses. Although it will make some people in the company feel weak, the real source of the company's losses is management loopholes.
Obviously, the losses caused by private settlement are smaller, so it is self-evident how the company chooses.
Professional managers are actually not weak when facing capital. Capital is like the emperor, and professional managers are ministers. The emperor knows that the ministers are traitors and disloyal, but both parties still need to seek a tacit understanding.
So, why doesn’t capital use illegal means to retaliate and give future generations a warning?
They have the money, the power, and the ability to do it.
Because they are unprofessional!!
No matter how rich ‘Gouzi’ is, he is still a manufacturer of clothing, shoes and hats. It is almost impossible to do something dirty. How much hatred and hate. They are not professional. Doing it yourself will leave loopholes, and outsourcing will leave loopholes.
It's completely unnecessary, even the boss won't do it. It has no practical effect except venting anger, because if you don't dare to publicize it, you are courting death.
But what if the company happens to be a company that specializes in killing people?
Different companies have different methods of corruption and different ways of solving problems. This is called corporate culture!
The legendary killer company has not retired, the mercenary company has not retired...
Therefore, Henry absolutely believed that no one in the property under Sean's name would dare to engage in small tricks and embezzle Sean's money.
Absolutely not!
Not only Henry believed it, but the 10 people from other companies who were listening next to him also believed that what had just happened had happened before their eyes, and they could not think of any way to restrain Sean.
The King of Morocco even listens to Sean, and he even cares about Moroccan law...
Bullshit!
However, Henry never thought that he came to negotiate with Sean, but he never expected that Sean would actually recruit him to manage the company.
This... a fantasy!
Being stared at by Sean's eyes, although there was no murderous intent, Henry still felt coldness on the soles of his feet. He wanted to refuse, but he had to think about how to say this so that Sean wouldn't suddenly turn his back and shoot him.
It's not good to go to a country like Africa with chaotic public security. There is no place to explain yourself even if you die.
Seeing Henry's appearance, Sean raised a finger and shook it, "Don't reject me, tell me what difficulties you have."
"I am a shareholder of the company." Henry pursed his lips and smiled reluctantly.
"It's not a big problem." Sean said with a smile: "You have three choices. First, sell the shares to me and I will buy them at a premium of 20%. Second, keep the company shares and resign. Third, I will acquire your company and become a big company."
Shareholders or at least important shareholders."
"You choose." Sean raised his chin.
Henry: "..."
No, this is a cow being forced to have its head pressed without drinking water!
"Our company's equity is very complicated, and part of it is in the hands of Louis Dreyfus. You know, after all, it is a fertilizer company, and it must be related to agricultural companies."
"It doesn't matter. I also make fertilizers, so we must cooperate. This is part of my plan. You have work experience in multiple companies and are a good communicator." Sean did not give the other party any room to refuse.
"My family is in France, and you know, I don't want to be separated from my family."
"No one is asking you to separate. The company will reimburse you for your round-trip air tickets every week. Of course, your family can come over and they will be reimbursed as well."
"I, the security in Morocco is really..."
"Don't worry." Sean waved his hand and said with a domineering look: "I will arrange two bodyguards for you, and the vehicle will be hung with a protective umbrella flag. No one dares to touch the people in my company named Sean. Who dares to touch you?
I don’t care who he is.”
With that said, Sean leaned over and said solemnly: "If you say kill his whole family, kill his whole family!"
"Work for me. What else do you have to worry about for your safety? I'm not the government of a country. I have to be cautious about everything I do. No one cares about personal grudges."
"Today, if you were negotiating on my behalf and sitting in my current position, think about how it would feel." Sean's words were full of confusion: "Let me tell you this, in Africa, negotiation
There is no need for any skills, you just need to show the name of the company, as long as it is not an excessive request and based on the concept of win-win, then no one can refuse you."
"Nothing goes wrong!"
hiss!!!
Henry gasped.
"Let me tell you again, I have reached an agreement with ADM and Mosaic. Mosaic and I will exchange part of the equity. They will provide the best technology to the Moroccan Phosphate Company to support the company's development."
"Behind Mosaic is Cargill. As for Louis Dreyfus, I will talk to them after a while. I believe they will not reject my kindness." Sean said with confidence.
Now that Umbrella has stepped into the land of Africa, it must have some say.
At least Sean has enough say in where the food from Morocco and Western Europe is imported.
Now, isn’t there Thompson Alves?
Henry's expression kept changing. Unknowingly, he was really moved. The key was that Sean was so powerful.
Several major grain companies are actually very powerful around the world, especially when facing small countries in Africa, South America and the Middle East that cannot achieve self-sufficiency in food.
A little effort can cause huge fluctuations in domestic food prices in these countries.
These small countries don't want to hoard food to cope with the crisis. Several major grain companies have detailed data on their annual production and domestic consumption. The export volume given to you is absolutely accurate to the ton!
Make sure the neck is always stuck.
However, Henry suddenly discovered that these grain-related industry companies had lost their advantage when facing Sean.
Of course, it's absolutely fine if you don't leave France, and you'll definitely have concerns about using a protective umbrella in a country with a French military base, but what about other countries?
Food stick?
I'll kill you with one shot!
However, if the giant ship's cannons are combined with food weapons... hiss!!
"Can you really get Louis Dreyfus shares?" Henry looked up at Sean, his eyes burning.
"In fact, I own the stocks of 12 of your companies, and they are currently held by a financial company on Wall Street, including Louis Dreyfus!" Sean's mouth curled up with a meaningful arc, "Since I have decided to take action, how can it be possible?
