Chapter 1306 Ups and Downs Doomed
Almost everyone present was staring at CEO Wharton, and almost everyone was waiting for his answer.
Of course, people with different identities have different mentalities. Like those shareholders, they are purely using a joke mentality to face Wharton's answer. For them, the moment Wharton brought people over to force the palace, they had already split in camp. In the eyes of these shareholders, Wharton's actions undermined their interests. For the capitalists who are based on interests, this is enough for them to consider Wharton as his enemy. And since it is an enemy, then naturally there is nothing to say.
Just watching his jokes is considered kind to him. It would have been nice if he hadn't hit him hard.
That's the mindset those shareholders have with Wharton. As for the other managers, they are almost all worried that Wharton will drag them down.
You know, Wharton's situation is now doomed. He offended the major shareholders of the board of directors, and he used it to kill himself. No matter who it is, it is impossible to change the encounter he will face. And just like Murdoch's people said, either he will go by himself, or he will be thrown out. There is no third possibility.
And now that such a time has come, as long as Wharton's mind is a little darker, he will never show mercy to those who were originally in the same boat as him. After all, people have inferior roots. Some people may leave the hope of life to others when they are facing extinction, but some people are more willing to drag others into hell together at this time.
How he will choose, no one knows. So almost all the management is praying, praying that this bastard will show mercy at this time and let them go?
And will Wharton do it? To be honest, he was also tangled in his heart.
If it was his usual behavior, the matter would have reached such an irreversible point. No matter what, he would never let go of these guys who were on the same boat. Why can they stay in Fox safely, but they have to get out of here desolately. There is no such statement in this world. Even if it is death, everyone should die together.
But now, I don't know why. Perhaps it was because he was so shocked in his heart that some circuits in his brain were abnormal for a while. Just when he was about to do this, he felt a little compassion for the subordinates around him.
And as soon as this kind of compassion came out, he immediately found many reasons for them to be sympathetic.
He knows that the current economic downturn in the United States, if they are cleared out by the board of directors, it is almost impossible for these management personnel to find a suitable job in Hollywood.
Because unless their abilities are worth the risk of offending Fox by other Hollywood giants, no one will give them such a chance.
And left Hollywood, left the world's best platform. what can they do Wharton didn't know the answer, but he knew that his subordinates would suffer heavy losses. That can't be made up for by a few years of hard work. To put it more seriously, it is likely to affect their entire lives.
So, do you really want to do this? Is it really necessary for me to be this bad guy? Wharton, whose heart softened, quickly gave himself an answer. And this answer made him sigh a long time, and then said to the richest man in a dispirited manner.
"I know what to do. I'll go clean up my office and hand in my resignation to you before I get off work today, Mr. Wang."
"You have finally made a wise decision, Mr. Wharton. Since you are so witty, I will show you some sympathy. According to the original contract you signed with the company, I will let you know how much liquidated damages you need to pay. The finances are paid to you on the books. As for your racial discrimination issue? I can also let you go. However, there is one thing I must clarify. The agreement between me and the board of directors was reached on the plane Intent, sign it as soon as you get off the plane. In theory, even if you know a little bit, it is absolutely impossible to come and protest in such a short period of time. So, who is encouraging you to do this? of?"
A very interesting question, but enough to make all the management tense up again. Of course, the reason they were afraid was because they were worried that Wharton would go crazy and randomly bite out a few people for liquidated damages. After all, there is no proof, and they can get sky-high liquidated damages as long as they open their mouths. They really have no reason to believe that Wharton will not do this.
But in the end, they still underestimated Wharton. Now that he has said that, it is naturally impossible for him to talk back. So he just grinned, and then said very indifferently.
"No one else. I noticed you from the moment you met. I have seen the actions of the financial department, and I can easily think of what you are doing. I thought your speed should be slow The previous step was right. But I didn’t expect you to be so fast. This was my mistake, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing so easily.”
"You may be right, but unfortunately, there will never be a second chance for anything." Seeing that Wharton still said so at this time, the richest man just waved his hand, and did not intend to talk to him again. He counted it down. "Get out of here as soon as possible. I hope this is the last time I see you. If I see you here next time, Mr. Wharton, believe me, I won't let the security guard be polite to you."
The tone of Wang's richest man was very bad, but Wharton couldn't comment on his tone. After all, he asked for everything. He knew very well how hurtful the words he said before were. If it is said that a Jewish boss is here, then maybe there are security guards here now and throw him out.
To do so is already benevolent. So he can't be more demanding. At this time, he can only say to the richest man with a wry smile.
"Of course, I know what I should do. But I want to remind you, Mr. Wang. Don't think that you are safe if you do this. You know, the US government will not be indifferent to the big moves of foreign capital like you Yes. You'd better hope that you didn't violate any laws by doing this, otherwise, those people at the Securities Regulatory Commission will definitely make all your actions come to naught."
"I have my own calculations, and you don't need to worry about it. Please, Mr. Wharton."
Having said that, it is obvious that there is no need to continue. So just sneered for a while, Wharton shook his head and walked outside. But when he was leaving, he suddenly took a meaningful look at the president of 20th Century Fox. Such a special expression immediately made him feel like sitting on pins and needles.
You know, 20th Century Fox is a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox, and their fate is in the hands of the parent company. Now the parent company has changed hands, which means that everything about them has fallen into the hands of the richest man. And based on what they did to the richest man before, he was really not sure whether the richest man would give him some shoes to wear in the future.
And don't forget, the reason why Wharton came to do this kind of forced palace is entirely because of his instigation. If he hadn't gotten the news and tried his best to stop it all, things wouldn't have deteriorated so quickly to this point. He has ghosts in his heart, it is inevitable. So naturally, he couldn't help but become terrified of these subtle changes today.
Fortunately, no one was paying attention to him at this moment. Even the richest man Wang, who had a little bit of trouble with him, didn't pay much attention to him at this time. After all, what he is busy with now is all big things, and the importance of any of these big things is more important than worrying about him. So naturally, it was understandable to put him aside.
With such luck, the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox immediately broke into a cold sweat in his heart. But just when he thought everything could pass like this, there was a sudden burst of noise from downstairs.
It was as if there were hundreds of people parading and making noise underneath, even if they were at the height of these dozens of floors, they could still hear clearly.
"what's going on?"
It was supposed to be a good day, but things like this happened one after another. This made Wang Shoufu feel uncomfortable immediately. He hastily asked the surrounding management, and such a question, those people in the management are powerless. They talked to each other, apparently at a loss for such a question. But at this moment, the assistant outside suddenly rushed in and yelled at them directly.
"It's not good, gentlemen. The employees of 20th Century Fox rushed over suddenly. They were protesting Mr. Wang's entry into 21st Century Fox. They asked the board of directors to give them a promise. They wanted the board of directors to reject Wang. Mister's purchase!"
"What, it's just nonsense. Why are they here to join forces!"
There was a sudden commotion among the shareholder group, and immediately after that, the managers also started to make a commotion. They were all surprised by this situation. There was only one person, the CEO of Fox, who suddenly sat on the ground at this time.
He knew that he was finished, completely finished!
