Chapter 259: The Only Requirement

Paris, CGT headquarters.

After arriving, Li Zitao and Augustan proposed to visit the shipyard after a brief meeting with the company's top management.

"Since the global economy has been hit hard and the situation has become more and more serious, the shipbuilding industry in various countries has been in a state of shutdown,

Except for those idiots of the White Star Company who gritted their teeth and persisted, and now they have been reduced to a situation where they are about to be acquired by their old rivals. "

"CGT thought it would be able to survive this cold winter, but now it seems that we can't stand it anymore."

When he mentioned "Bai Xing idiot" a second ago, his face was full of pride, but then he turned into a bitter face. Li Zitao also admired his courage.

Brothers and sisters in distress are still mocking each other, can they slap them in the face?

"His Royal Highness mentioned that CGT currently has a luxury cruise ship under construction?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Yes, code-named T6, with a tonnage of 83,423 tons, a streamlined bulbous bow, electric propulsion, and air-conditioning throughout the ship. It will be the most luxurious cruise ship in the world."

Speaking of the "Normandy" under construction, Augustan regained his pride.

In CGT's plan, the decoration of this cruise ship will shock the world, including a church with bright textured marble walls, an opera house with modern audio equipment, an indoor swimming pool with a heated water circulation system, and a well-equipped fitness room.

Sports grounds, tennis courts, and an open-air public swimming pool and a 2-meter diving platform.

The whole ship will adopt a sporty Art style, and the use of a large number of shark patterns, zebra patterns, zigzag patterns, ladder patterns, bold and curved curves, and radial patterns will make people feel like they are in the corridor of the century.

Whether it is the carpets, panels or artworks used in the ship, they will be compared and selected in many ways, and every detail must be perfect to make people impeccable.

"I'm very interested in it." Said the car arrived at the pier.

In the past, the wharf, which was full of traffic, was desolate. Except for the managers and a few workers who wanted to try their luck to see if they could find a job, no one could be seen anymore.

Walking along the pier to the dock, two-thirds of the huge building came into view, and the people standing beside it were small, but insignificant.

Walking along the ladder to the top floor, the hull has completely stopped, and only a few employees who are responsible for the safety of the dock pay attention to the visitors.

"How much money does CGT need to get rid of debts." Stepping on the bow deck of the future ship, Li Zitao looked towards the sea, imagining the scene of going out to sea on this giant ship.

"200,000 francs, but to get the whole company back into operation, at least a huge investment of 2 million francs is required." Augustan observed his expression.

If the wealthy Marquis is unwilling to help, they will finally have to turn to the government for help.

It’s just that if we really want to get there, CGT will only fall into a vicious circle in the end, waiting for other companies to encroach and annex it.

"2 million francs, what can I get?" Lawrence suggested that he buy White Star Company, but Li Zitao finally did not agree.

First, he just wanted to build a cruise ship for fun at the time, and second, the precedent of the Titanic was the first.

Although later generations adapted it into a poignant love movie and received unprecedented hits after it was put on the big screen, it still cannot change the fact that it was a terrible disaster.

It can be said very responsibly that the sinking of the Titanic had a huge impact and grief on many rich people and even rich families in Europe and America.

When the name is mentioned, they will resist from the bottom of their hearts, and the company that built it, Shirahoshi, will also be implicated.

For the current Baihoshi, the most important thing is to let people regain their confidence in it and forget the pain.

And the best way is to create a larger, more luxurious, and more eye-catching luxury ship, so that the disappointed people can regain their confidence in Bai Xing.

If this is not the case, it would really be a brain twitch for the top management of the White Star Company to continue to push forward the construction of the luxury ship despite the financial crisis.

"The board is willing to take 23 percent of the shares,

And after the company returns to profitability, you will be given a considerable amount of cash compensation. "Augustan unconsciously used the honorific title, and if he wanted something from others, he naturally felt so short in his heart. It was so difficult!

"Do I look like I'm short of money?" Li Zitao said jokingly.

"Your Excellency, you might as well state your conditions." Seeing the other party's disapproving expression, Augustan knew that this promise was not tempting to him.

Just think about it, even if CGT returns to profitability in the future, how much cash compensation can it provide, 50,000 francs, or 100,000 francs?

Up to 200,000 is unimaginable, how could he care!

"I have just one request, holding shares." Seeing warships and giant cannons in Pearl Harbor, Li Zitao became more interested in the shipbuilding industry.

Just in time, CGT came up to him at this time, and when he was really sleepy, someone handed him a pillow.

He already had a plan on the plane, the first step is to hold CGT, and the second step is to expand influence.

The last step, the complete annexation of CGT by Lee C. Astor Industries.

What Li Zitao values ​​is not its market value and routes, but its technical reserves and talents.

After the complete acquisition of CGT, Li Zitao will not shut down the docks and companies here.

CGT is one of the most famous shipping companies in country F, and it attracts countless talents to recommend themselves every year.

As long as he keeps it, Li Zitao will be able to recruit country F's shipbuilding talents in an open and honest manner.

Headquarters study, training, promotion examination, technical exchange, guidance——

For any reason, anyway, let’s talk about it first when you are lame, and wait until you dig it into the bowl and get on the thief’s boat before thinking about it. You will use 502 paste on the ground seams.

"I need to convince the board of directors." Augustan stood where he was, thinking for a long time with an uncertain expression, and finally made a decision.

"Dear Augustan, I think you know very well that without the support of large sums of money, the fate left to CGT in the end is not much better than that of Shirahoshi,

So, I hope you can do your best to convince the board that I will give them a satisfactory price. "

Seeing that Augustan's gaze became complicated, Li Zitao continued, "And, I promise you will still sit where you are now."

Continued as CEO of CGT, this news is very important for Augustin.

"I understand, Your Excellency. I will do my best to convince the shareholders that they understand that if you reject your goodwill, the only thing waiting for them is bankruptcy."

Augustan has decided to use all means to force the board of directors to agree to the deal, and CGT is his brainchild.

He hasn't seen T6 launch yet, he hasn't seen its graceful sailing on the sea, he hasn't enjoyed the joy of success and people's cheers.

"I want to lead CGT to glory. I can and must do it." From a middle-level manager to a company executive, he was promoted to CEO and then to the board of directors.

In his eyes, CGT was no less important than his children, and Augustan would never allow himself to watch it be destroyed in his own hands.
