Chapter 137 I have a showdown, have the ability to trick me!

The reception ended in such a strong business atmosphere. After the governor's entourage finished saying some "ulterior motives", they left with the mayor first, and it was said that they wanted to adjust the future development direction of Sabine City.

But this is also normal. Although this is an exchange reception held by members of the Progressive Party, most of the people attending the reception are capitalists and business people.

A small number of politicians appearing here is not a good choice, it will give the public a very terrible negative feeling, making them think that the politicians they elect are in collusion with the capitalists, although the two have never been separated .

At the reception in the second half, the business atmosphere became more serious. Many people had a brief chat with Lynch and left contact information with each other. They are now businessmen in the same camp. If necessary, we can also provide each other with some small help within our ability.

Human society, social human relationship, if you don't help others, why should others help you?
This is why there will always be some people who want to get into small circles. In many cases, circles and success are equated.

The influence created by this reception far exceeds the guesses of the participants, or they are in the game as participants and do not know the changes in the outside world.

Less than 10 minutes after the governor's valet uttered the "unity" words, Ristorian's board of directors initiated a conference call.

Almost all the directors who had time participated in the conference call, including Mr. President Neo who was suddenly called back.

This is not excessive nervousness, sometimes characters like mayors and governors are not able to express their attitudes easily, and keep some possible concessions in a vague and implicit way, but they cannot be too weak, which is What should I do?
Then the entourage around them, that is, the staff can play a role. The words of the governor's staff have obviously been interpreted this time, which is not good news for the Ristoane Group.

As a listed company, they know that there is an elusive but real close relationship between the attitude of the local government and the stock price.

If they can't resolve these issues before the market opens on Monday, there's a good chance that Ristoane's stock price will go all the way down.

Just like the mayor imagined at the beginning, facing a group company like Ristoane, you talk to him about morality, ethics, social responsibility and rules, and he will just pretend to know nothing. What they pursue is always It's all about more profit.

As long as the profit is attractive enough, it violates morality and ethics, and trampling the law will not be an obstacle to their pursuit of interests in their view.

Only when they feel the pain and their wealth begins to shrink can they begin to think about what others should say as a person.

"Who is in charge of the policy office now?"

The conference call had just started, and President Neo had not had time to preside over the meeting with his magnetic and well-known voice, when a sudden voice stunned everyone. It was the voice of the chairman of the board of Ristoane Group. An old man named Alban Ristoian, and the company was actually founded by his grandfather.

It's just that after so many years, this small family business has gradually evolved into a large group company under the management of the old man Alban and his father.

Of course, strictly speaking, this company no longer belongs to them, but their wealth has increased countless times compared to when they completely controlled the company before.

The old man usually doesn't care much about things, but now he asks the policy office in the first sentence, which immediately makes people realize that he is decompressing President Neo. The current president of the group company, Mr. Neo, is the son-in-law of the old man in Alban .

Every large company will have an office that specializes in policy research. Maybe the name of this department may be a bit different, but their purpose is the same.

From the policies promulgated by the government, find some policies that are beneficial to the development of the company, or may be dangerous, and then create opportunities for yourself, or push the state legislature to review whether this bill has value.

This is also one of the significant gaps between small companies and large companies. Many small companies have not realized how much an active search policy can help the company's growth.

For example, there is an encouraging policy in this state. If factories or enterprises set up vocational skills training schools and train students to a certain level, they can get certain tax reductions and financial subsidies from the government.

Many people don't know that there is such a policy, and some people even feel that it has nothing to do with them after they know it, but for a big company like Ristoane, they set aside a room in each factory to train workers to master technical skills , and the method of this training is to let them work normally, but someone will guide them while they are working.

Many workers refer to this so-called training as a "guidance holiday". They don't need to work under high pressure on a high-intensity assembly line. The factory takes turns to let them receive tutoring, and get tax deductions and less. Thousands, as many as tens of thousands of education subsidies.

Don't underestimate these policy support, a dozen factories, enterprises, all related tax reductions and education subsidies can add up to hundreds of thousands of additional net profits for Ristoane every year.

Policies like this are actually more than that, and there are many more. Special people are required to keep an eye on the policy trends promulgated by the government and to study the relevant content. The annual tax savings and various subsidies received are amazing. numbers.

Now, the chairman of the board of directors snatched the conference call in which Neo was supposed to speak first, and directly passed the responsibility to the Policy Research Office. Those who participated in the conference call already knew the next development.

President Neo then explained, "Mr. Chairman, the consultants of the policy office are not qualified to sit on the board of directors..." After all, they are just consultants with political background like Ferrara, and the company will not give These consultant shares will not give them the opportunity to participate in such meetings.

"Really?" Your Excellency Chairman's voice was full of natural accidents, "I'm sorry, I am a little older, and what happened at night, our consultant did not give a timely warning. Very dissatisfied."

This sentence is bullshit. Everyone knows what is behind this incident. If it wasn't for Neo's tough attitude that made him and the mayor stand up, this kind of thing would not have happened. This is definitely not good news for Ristoane.

All problems that can escalate will not be simple problems. Neo and the mayor's unwillingness to compromise, in the final analysis, actually comes from the struggle within the Ristorian Group.

Some people think that Neo is not very suitable for the current position of president, and these people think that Alban has already occupied the position of chairman of the board of directors, and if Neo becomes president, their son-in-law will be able to compete with the indirect control of the Ristorian Group for all investors.

Yes, the Ristoane Group does not belong to the old man Alban Ristoane, nor does it belong to the president of Neo. After it goes public, it only belongs to all investors, such as Alban and Neo. , are also one of the investors, but the investors trust them and give them their current positions.

Since a few years ago, the development of the group has slowed down, which made many shareholders dissatisfied with this. In addition, Henghui Group, which has a close cooperative relationship with the group company, was suddenly investigated and closed down, and part of the company's business and assets were implicated. Some people in the board of directors believe that most of the "inheritance" of Henghui Group should be taken over to compensate those assets and businesses cut off by the group company during the investigation process.

At the same time, it also wants to complete the transformation or upgrade of the group company with the help of some industries left over from Henghui Group.

This was originally a good idea, but the person who proposed this idea and encouraged the board of directors to vote was neither Neo nor Alban, but another major shareholder.

There is never any friendship in the world of capital. This major shareholder has already created a plan to send the couple to step down. This has caused Neo to show a tough side, otherwise the other party may initiate a board meeting to remove Nio. O's job.

Meanwhile, the conflict between Neo and the mayor has made him temporarily unsuitable for transfer within the group, and if he wins, no one will bring up the fight during this time.

If he loses, the group company also needs a scapegoat to obtain the forgiveness of the progressive party politicians. A current president of the group company is better than a former president.

Facing a lot of pressure, Neo and Alban decided to put all their eggs in one basket. They originally planned to use the Conservative Party to promote the competition between the two parties to win, but now it seems that the Progressive Party does not intend to compromise. Something went wrong.

Pausing for a moment, Neo did not evade the question, and first apologized to all members of the board of directors. After all, it was because the plan he was committed to promoting had affected the strategy and stability of the group company, and he could not shirk his responsibility.

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject and talked about the current situation.

"I have heard from some other sources that even if we bow our heads and I resign as president and apologize to the mayor, governor and others, and sincerely repent, our situation will not get better."

"Our financial report has not improved significantly since the year before last. From the perspective of the outside world, our operations are normal, but..." Neo suddenly sighed, "I need to apologize to everyone again, In fact, under my benefit, I let the financial department falsify the financial report..."

In an instant, the sound of cups breaking, the sound of chairs being overturned, the sound of some things being thrown on the ground, and the sound of cursing came from the receiver...

Among these voices, there were two laughter that were so slight that they were almost inaudible. They came from Alban, the chairman of the board of directors, and Neo, the group president.
