Chapter 1644 Directors

According to normal logic, shouldn't one party draw a line and then negotiate within the scope?

Why did they refuse to cooperate directly when they came to Jiuzhou Technology without agreeing to the conditions?

Even if they wanted to negotiate the conditions, the other party would not give them this opportunity?

At the moment when the confidentiality agreement was placed in front of him, President James was stunned.

Then, a lot of sweat broke out on his back.

He remembered the purpose of his trip. He missed the Jiuzhou Technology Global Cooperation Conference and the cooperation with other companies in the Jiuzhou Alliance. The products produced by their factory were not even worthy of being included in the military procurement list of the European front!

Without orders, the factory equipment has not been operating for quite a long time. If this continues, the factory will soon go bankrupt.

This time, the board of directors raised the deposit through various channels, including low-interest loans!

If nothing is negotiated, then go back...

But if the cooperation rules set by the other party are really negotiated, then the agreement after the negotiation will definitely not be approved by the board of directors.

James knew clearly how greedy and stingy the people on the board of directors were. Even if they had made tens of millions of euros, they would not be willing to waste a dime, let alone let Jiuzhou Technology intervene in the management.

That was an absolute taboo!

After thinking about it, the former business elite suddenly showed a rather ashamed smile and said, "Can I contact the directors of our company for a moment?"

In response to this application, a senior executive of Jiuzhou Technology waved his hand: "You have one hour of communication time. If you exceed the time, we will put your company on the list of companies that are unwilling to cooperate.

Later, the staff will take you to a special lounge, where the walls have been specially treated so that your voice will not be transmitted.

Of course, you can also check the real-time map on the back of the temporary pass and negotiate while walking in some areas of the Xinke District."

"Well, thank you for your company's tolerance."

James stood up, bowed and thanked him, and then left the room.

When he met with his team members, his expression became extremely serious.

"President, the board of directors is very anxious. I heard that some directors want to inject capital--"

"Withdraw capital? When the company is not doing well, they think about withdrawing capital. Did we ask them to invest in the first place? Now at such an important moment, it's really--wait, you said inject capital? Not withdraw capital?"

President James, who suspected that he had heard it wrong, looked solemn, and his hands could not help but grab the assistant's shoulders.

"Yes, yes. Two directors just called us to inform us that they want to inject capital, but the premise is that they must sign a cooperation agreement with Jiuzhou Technology."

Hearing this condition, James was already very nervous.

What you fear will come true.

Injecting capital into the company is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Injecting capital will increase the company's cash flow and enable the company to operate better, but at the same time, other directors must also follow up with investment, otherwise their share of the company's shares will be affected.

And at this juncture, inject capital?

Although it is known that Jiuzhou Technology has an extremely huge influence in the industry, why is it so?

James' mind turned over and over again, and finally he collected his thoughts and sighed: "Whether they want to inject or withdraw capital, it's all their money, and we only have a little dividend.

Let's go out and make an international long-distance call and start a conference call with the directors. You should notify the directors now, at this time."

James looked at the sunlight outside the window and shook his head: "Even if it is late at night in Poland, it is necessary to wake up the main directors. If you can't get through the phone, let me do it."

There is only one hour, James doesn't want to waste a minute, and naturally he won't choose to take a walk downstairs.

God knows how much time he has to rush back to the meeting room after he finishes talking about things downstairs?

If he can't rush back to the meeting room because he waits too long for the elevator, then everything will be in vain.

With the previous experience, he has clearly understood that these senior executives of Jiuzhou Technology are "stubborn" who only say what they mean and only do things according to regulations.

This was the first time James had done this, an international long-distance call, and a conference call that involved all the main directors who were usually pampered.

He also made a lot of calls himself, and even asked other directors to contact those directors whose calls could not be reached.

Even so, it took more than 20 minutes to complete the "grouping".

"President James, I remember that you should have been in the office of Daxia Jiuzhou Technology to discuss the cooperation agreement. Has the agreement been successfully negotiated? What do we need to pay?"

"Oh, wait for me for a few minutes, I'm still sobering up."

"I can only spare an hour, the doctor told me not to stay up late."

...

Hearing these chaotic voices, James looked at the time on his watch and quickly explained what he had just experienced.

When he finished speaking, the conference call suddenly became silent.

But soon there was an irritable voice.

"Hoo, s--t! We want a board seat and control of the equipment? What do you think we are? A hound needs a warm, undisturbed nest, right?!"

"After signing this contract, we have to increase our investment every year based on the number of cooperative projects. You want to control our money without spending a penny? I won't win!"

"The technology licensing agreement is signed once a year, and engineers must go to Daxia headquarters to study at public expense every year? This is simply threatening our engineers! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Still want to check the accounts? Private property is sacred and inviolable! Jiuzhou Technology is a dirty bitch! Stinky quagmire! The most disgusting bug in hell! Why don't they let us check their accounts too?"

Faced with these surging and even roaring voices, James remained calm.

"Everyone, we still have fifteen minutes. To be precise, minus the time I entered the conference room over there, we can still communicate for nine minutes.

After nine minutes, we will choose to refuse cooperation or continue negotiations.

I need to remind everyone that subject to the confidentiality agreement I just signed, if we continue to negotiate with Jiuzhou Technology, because the content of the subsequent negotiations will touch on some of Jiuzhou Technology's confidential technologies, even if we do not sign a cooperation agreement with Jiuzhou Technology in the end, Jiuzhou Technology will deduct the deposit fee item by item according to the terms of the confidentiality agreement and the project cooperation negotiation agreement.

There are still eight minutes left."

James' words made the telephone conference room fall into a more silent scene.
