Chapter 2212 Rapid Change

Collins quickly glanced at Feng Yiping and found that he was looking at the information on the table and spinning his pen, as if he had not heard this clear-cut objection.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

There is really a reason why this young man can grow up so quickly to the point where he even looks up to him.

His magnanimity and self-cultivation are extraordinary.

Collins thought to himself that if he had achieved about one-twentieth of his achievements at his current age, that is, with a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars, facing the opposition of Morgan Noe, he might have started a lawsuit.

Although according to the board of directors' charter and general principles, Noy's objection is actually normal.

But at such a young age, and with such an eye-catching young man, they generally don't have the patience to care about the rules of right and wrong. They usually only focus on their own perceptions.

Therefore, this young man sitting there casually but with a strong aura is really a genius who is normal to a bit abnormal.

When seeing Feng Yiping's reaction, not only Collins, but others were also surprised, and after the surprise, they were filled with admiration.

After hearing Noi's impatient speech, some of them were hoping for a good show, but it was obvious that Feng Yiping was more mature than they expected.

Some people who originally respected Feng Yiping out of courtesy now truly looked up to this young man from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Noi himself was very surprised to see Feng Yiping's calmness.

This is not what I imagined at all.

He moved his lips and realized that he had forgotten his words. He quickly pulled out the outline of his speech from the bottom of the document, "The reason why I object is because the Chinese joint venture company is in the process of negotiating the acquisition of NAVTEQ. An asset that will greatly enhance the value of our company,"

"We all know that China, whose economy is continuing to develop at a rapid pace, will be a huge market in the future,"

"And we also know how difficult it is to obtain approval from Chinese regulatory authorities in the field of map surveying,"

"So our opinion is that based on the interests of the company and the interests of the majority of shareholders, joint ventures in China should at least wait until the acquisition negotiations are concluded before considering mergers and acquisitions,"

His speech can be said to be clearly organized and powerful. While it is clearly targeted, it is also upright and upright.

But Noi himself was a little dissatisfied.

The original plan was that when Feng Yiping expressed his objection to him, or at least when Feng Yiping asked him why he objected, he would calmly say this while looking at everyone with a smile.

When faced with a challenge, responding calmly, with a smile, and kindly, how stylish and fulfilling is that?

That’s a high-end slap in the face!

But the tension caused by Feng Yiping's calmness and calmness was naturally gone, because he couldn't even finish the script and could only read it from the outline.

In the process of making the statement, he naturally failed to express his words in a rhythmic manner. He just stated the main points dryly.

Naturally, I couldn’t look at everyone with a smile, because they were all looking at the outline on the paper.

He also knew that he kept his head down most of the time while speaking, which seemed to make him somewhat guilty and lacking in confidence.

So he was really not in a good mood right now.

It was as if everything had been prepared, and he went on stage in the presence of Elvis Presley and perfectly sang a song that even Elvis Presley would raise eyebrows. However, as soon as he got on stage and opened his mouth, the tune went from Wall Street, New York, to the City of London.

Even if the lyrics are correct word for word, what's the use?

Noi, who felt extremely frustrated, looked at Feng Yiping with some gloominess and expectancy, "Aren't you still going to speak?"

He saw that although Feng Yiping remained calm, he glanced at Collins. Just when he was expecting Feng Yiping to speak, someone beside him spoke.

"We have some different views on Director Noe's opinion,"

Noi turned his head with some difficulty and saw a bright flash of light.

That was the result of the light shining on Henry's bare forehead.

He raised his head forward and looked at Henry seriously for a few times, finally confirming that the words he just said were those of Henry.

Henry, who had been chatting and laughing with him just now, complaining about Feng Yiping, now rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward to face Feng Yiping. The eyes behind his glasses were full of smiles.

The three-year-old child from Noi's neighbor could see the fawning and flattery in his eyes.

I have never seen such a shameless person!

That’s right, how can a guy with such an appearance and no hair have any moral integrity?

"We all know that the Chinese market is indeed a huge market, but at the same time we should also see that China is the most special market, especially in some areas related to national security,"

"So we can see that our joint ventures in China currently have a limited market share,"

Henry said this more politely. In the current domestic navigation-based market, companies with state-owned enterprise backgrounds indeed occupy the largest market share, because most car brands have established cooperative relationships with them.

However, like all state-owned enterprises, in the future mobile Internet era dominated by smartphones, they unsurprisingly lost their current advantages. From their current dominant position, they gradually became niche and finally marginalized.

"Current sales in the Chinese market only account for a relatively small part of the company's revenue. Therefore, we believe that selling our equity in the Chinese joint venture will affect the pricing in subsequent acquisition negotiations. This is obviously unrealistic and excessive. exaggerate,"

Henry will do what Noy expected, while talking and looking at the other directors with a smile on his face.

It can be seen from their eyes that many directors are very supportive of his statement.

"As a leading company in the world's electronic map field, we should not only be responsible to our shareholders, we should also be responsible to our partners,"

"Because in the future, we will definitely be present in more and more countries and cooperate with more and more international partners,"

"So, we fully understand the concerns of our Chinese partners about the uncertain changes that may be brought about by company acquisitions, and we fully support their approach of taking the lead in acquiring our equity in the joint venture,"

Noy didn't care about Feng Yiping's reaction at this moment. He just wanted to defend this two-faced and shameless Henry until he was completely naked. "Just because our current market share in the Chinese market is not high, doesn't it mean that the Chinese market Is there huge potential for the future?”

"You know, our partner in China is Feng," he said, pointing to Feng Yiping.

"What Feng wants to do, in the end, is there anything that he won't succeed at?"

Feng Yiping raised his eyes and looked out the window. He couldn't laugh. I must not laugh.

He was also a little confused. It was clearly Noi who was targeting him, but now he and Henry were targeting each other, and he seemed to be staying out of it.

While those two people were targeting each other, they also did not forget to appreciate themselves as an outsider.

Hey, it’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing too fast.

"Okay two, we should also listen to the opinions of other directors," Collins said to stop the dispute between the two, "but before the other directors speak, I would like to ask everyone to take a look at a document,"

"That is the articles of association of our company in China. There are clear provisions in the articles of association regarding the relevant situation: under the current circumstances, our Chinese partners have the full right to acquire the shares we hold,"

watt? Noi immediately took the information distributed by the staff, turned to the relevant terms and took a look, let me go, since there are such terms, why didn't you, old guy, remind you earlier?

He suddenly felt that the gray-haired Collins was an authentic old bastard.

"I agree with Henry that the acquisition of the company should not cause additional trouble to our partners," a manager next to Noe spoke first.

"agree,"

"agree,"

Other directors expressed briefly.

"Okay, let's take a vote," Collins said.

…………

"Feng," Noi quickly caught up with Feng Yiping outside the conference room.

Collins glanced at Noy and said, "Feng, I'll wait for you in the office,"

"Thank you Collins, Mr. Feng," Noy looked at Feng Yiping with a smile on his face, "I hope you can understand what I just said at the board of directors."

"You know, we are in no way targeting you personally or your company. This is just our company's view on this matter,"

Feng Yiping nodded.

Noi was not relaxed at all.

Well, from the time you were on the board of directors to now, you have always been very careful with your words. "I agree" is the longest thing you have ever said. How can I let go of such a reaction?

He was about to say something more when Feng Yiping raised his hand. Noi quickly smiled and bent down so that Feng Yiping could pat his shoulder more easily.

"Noy, I believe there will be mergers and acquisitions projects next year, and I hope to see you at Morgan next year," Feng Yiping patted him twice on the shoulder gently.

Feng Yiping's back disappeared from Noi's sight, and Noi still stood there motionless.

What does he mean by this?

What kind of M&A project would bring him to the company?

What did his last sentence mean?

Is it possible that I won’t be at Morgan next year?

Because Morgan on Wall Street is definitely not here.

"Hi Noi," Henry walked over with a smile.

Noi immediately walked out quickly.

Henry shook his head. Sure enough, not everyone can be as professional and dignified as Mr. Feng.

Well, this may still be open to debate.
