Chapter 414 [Greed Is a Sin]
Human beings are the most greedy and insatiable in nature. If they want one, they want two. If they get two, they want a hundred. They never know how to be satisfied and will always be greedy. Greed is also a habit that tortures people. Just like Aragon is paying the price for his greed now.
The stocks in his hands are worth 300 million US dollars. You can't swallow your words after you have made a bold statement. If your reputation spreads, the whole American society will exclude you. Who dares to do business with you and break your promise?
You are not satisfied with one, two, and now you are satisfied with more than a dozen stocks, but do you have such a big appetite to satisfy yourself? Do you have so much money? You can't bear to give up any of them.
At this time, Aragon is the one who is uncomfortable. They are all fat meat, all priceless stocks, but you can't eat them all in one go. You can't bear to pick this one and put down that one. Singer saw this point. I let you pick whatever you want. I will tire you to death and fill you to death. This kid is insidious enough. Knowing that he didn't have enough money, he used these stocks to reduce himself, but he was still willing to be fooled. Who made you greedy?
His face was so red that he finally gritted his teeth and chose 2.5% of the shares of the fifth of the top ten construction companies in the United States, and then chose the stocks of several small companies. In total, he collected original stocks worth 200 million US dollars, and bought five shares at a premium of 30%, 260 million. The remaining good stocks could only be put in a folder and pushed to Belsinger. He really couldn't eat any more, and he would be full to death if he ate more. Both parties completed the transaction.
And they were very satisfied with what they got. After confirming the value of these stocks, Belsinger signed the stock transfer documents. Gonzalez Aragon also signed his name, then took out the intercom, called his deputy in financial stocks, and handed over these stocks to him.
The Aragon family grew and developed in the United States, unlike Belsinger, who was restricted everywhere. They hold these stocks, and they will be transferred to the Aragon family within three days without the effort of Belsinger. After the stock transaction is completed. Aragon called his financial director again and asked him to transfer 260 million US dollars to Belsinger's bank account in Swiss marks.
After the transaction was completed, the two people reconciled. At the same time, Gonzalez Aragon knew that Belsinger was not a simple guy. He has a lot of stocks in his hands, and there are more than a dozen construction companies alone. His purpose in coming to the United States is not just to join the board of directors of Coca-Cola.
Instead, he came to make money with many golden stocks in his hands, and he wanted to enter the core circle. If Belsinger really took root in the United States, he could have a strong ally to help him. Who dislikes too many allies, who dislikes too many brothers, fighting side by side in the business world is like a battlefield, without allies and brothers, you are waiting to be eaten by others.
At first, Gonzalez Aragon was not very interested in the Indian Belsinger. Even though the other party controlled Coca-Cola and wanted to enter the board of directors, he had a lot of stocks in his hands. But he didn't expect so many. Although he didn't know the specific price and quantity of these stocks, $1 billion was easily reached. The few stocks sold to him were worth 260 million, not to mention other things.
He was young and powerful, and he was a dragon from another country. It would be a lie to say that Mr. Gonzalez was not interested. He would not suffer any loss if he had a good relationship with Belsinger, which was why the high-minded Baron Adri called him personally to introduce the cooperation between the two parties.
The transaction was completed and both sides got what they needed. The cooperation was pleasant. Belsinger did not suffer any loss and entered the board of directors of Coca-Cola. What was there to be dissatisfied about? So he accepted the invitation of Gonzalez Aragon and his wife and stayed in their holiday villa. In the intervals between the two sides, they began to discuss how to bring the Character Family into the board of directors of Coca-Cola.
You will not regret what you promised. If you regret it, you will have no credibility. If you have no credibility in the business world, who will cooperate with you? So Aragon has been busy recently, and he has told his wife to take good care of the Belsinger couple, and let them play whatever they want and eat whatever they want.
So where did the male host Gonzalez go? Gonzalez went to New York and attended an informal board meeting of Coca-Cola. He pulled all the allies around him together and issued an order to bring in the Belsinger family. When Belsinger was meeting with Gonzalez Aragon in Miami. Mr. Mike, the executive secretary of the board of directors of Coca-Cola Company in New York, was talking to his master, Robert Sis, that is, the leader of the Sis family.
Like the 50-year-old patriarch of the Sis family, his master patted his chest and guaranteed that the Singh family would be taken, and the stocks held by the Singh family would soon be in the hands of the Sis family. At that time, the right to speak will be further increased, and the two people are very happy that they both know that the Singh family has its roots in India, and he has no strong connections in the United States. There is no interest in this. Who can help you if you find someone? Who would be so stupid to help you enter the board of directors for nothing without getting any benefits.
But the joy was less than a day and a half, and Aragon, the third largest shareholder of Coca-Cola, who had not appeared for a long time, convened a board meeting. The board members of Coca-Cola are all over the United States and Europe. They all have their own business. If they are not busy until the end of the year, they will not choose to come to the board meeting. They are all agents, stationed in the board, and the spirit of the meeting is passed to their masters.
Although the Aragon family is the third largest shareholder of Coca-Cola, it does not participate in management and decision-making. It only enjoys the year-end dividend. Its main business is within the scope of the industrial company. It controls mines, steel factories, automobile manufacturing, etc. It rarely appears in the board meeting. The sudden convening of the board meeting caught everyone off guard.
The Sis family knew that the Aragon family came with bad intentions this time, and they should be careful to deal with the board meeting. That is the right of the big director. You, the Sis family, are the second largest shareholder, so you have to come. Unexpectedly, the board meeting just started, and the Aragon family joined its allies to embarrass the second largest shareholder, the Sis family.
He was bombarded with criticism for violating the business law. People took the Coca-Cola stock change book to inherit the shares in their hands. Why did you set up obstacles for them? It is true that you are the second largest shareholder, but you did not bully people like this. What will you do if you sue the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Congress? What will Coca-Cola do?
You are too greedy and do things without considering the consequences. Do you take us directors seriously? Usually, the Sis family is very domineering and bullies people everywhere. The small shareholders of Coca-Cola have been bullied by him a lot. This time, the third largest shareholder made the decision for them, and the heroes were angry and attacked the Sis family.
The Sis family is full of mouths, and he can't explain it clearly, because he has done too many bad things, which makes these small shareholders dare not speak out. If you want to talk about the bad things of the Sis family, there are piles and piles without drafts.
What is called "the wall falls and everyone pushes it down" is that, although they don't have the ability to drive the Sis family, the second largest shareholder of Coca-Cola, out of the board of directors. Besides, they don't have that much money to buy all the stocks held by the Sith family, but they can still make things difficult for him and give him some eye drops.
