Paris, cgt headquarters.

After arriving, Li Zitao and Augustan had a brief meeting with the company's senior management and proposed to visit the shipyard.

"Since the global economy has been hit hard and the situation has become increasingly serious, the shipbuilding industry in various countries has been suspended.

Except for those idiots at White Star who are gritting their teeth and holding on, they are now in a situation where they are about to be acquired by their old rivals."

"CGT thought we could survive this cold winter, but now it seems we can no longer withstand it."

One second he was full of pride when he talked about "White Star Idiot", and then his face turned bitter. Li Zitao also admired his courage.

Brothers and sisters in distress are still taunting each other, do they want to slap each other in the face?

"I heard from Her Highness the Princess that CGT currently has a luxury cruise ship under construction?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Yes, codenamed T6, with a tonnage of 83,423 tons, a streamlined bulbous bow, electric propulsion, and air conditioning throughout the ship, it will be the most luxurious cruise ship in the world."

Mentioning the Normandy under construction, Augustan regained his pride.

In cgt's plan, the decoration of this cruise ship will shock the world, including a church with bright marble walls, an opera house with modern audio equipment, an indoor swimming pool with a heated water circulation system, and a well-equipped fitness room.

There are sports fields, tennis courts, an open-air public swimming pool and a 2-meter diving platform.

The entire ship will adopt a sporty art deco style, with a large number of shark patterns, zebra patterns, zigzag zigzag graphics, ladder graphics, bold and curved curves, and the use of radial patterns, which will make people feel like they are in a century corridor.

Whether it is carpets, paneling or artwork used in the ship, they will be compared and selected in many ways, and every detail must be perfect and impeccable.

"I'm very interested in it." He said as the car arrived at the dock.

In the past, the busy wharf was desolate and desolate. Except for the management staff and a few workers who wanted to try their luck to find a job, no one could be seen.

Walking along the pier to the shipyard, two-thirds of the huge building came into view. The people standing next to it were not only small, but also insignificant.

Following the ladder frame to the top floor, the ship's hull was completely at a standstill. Only a few employees responsible for monitoring the safety of the dock paid attention to the visitors.

"How much money does cgt need to get out of debt?" Li Zitao stood on the bow deck of the future ship and looked towards the sea, imagining the scene of taking this giant ship to sea.

"200,000 francs, but to make the entire company operational again, a huge investment of at least 2 million francs is needed." Augustin observed his expression.

If the wealthy marquis is unwilling to help, they will eventually have to turn to the government for help.

But if it really gets to that point, cgt will eventually fall into a vicious cycle, waiting for other companies to encroach and annex it.

"For 2 million francs, what can I get?" Lawrence had previously suggested that he buy the White Star Company, but Li Zitao ultimately did not agree.

Firstly, he just wanted to build a cruise ship for fun, and secondly, the Titanic was a precedent.

Although later generations adapted it into a poignant love movie, and it was an unprecedented hit after being put on the big screen, it still cannot change the fact that it was a terrible disaster.

It can be said very responsibly that the sinking of the Titanic had a huge impact and grief on many wealthy people and even wealthy families in Europe and the United States.

Mentioning this name will cause them to resist from the bottom of their hearts, and the company that built it, White Star, will also be implicated.

For White Star now, the most important thing is to let people regain their confidence in it and forget the pain.

The best way is to build a larger, more luxurious, and more eye-catching luxury ship so that disappointed people can regain their confidence in White Star.

If this were not the case, it would really be a shame for White Star's senior management to have a collective brainstorm and insist on continuing to push forward the construction of the luxury ship despite the financial crisis.

"The board of directors is willing to give you 23% of the shares and give you a considerable cash compensation after the company returns to profitability." Augustan unconsciously used the honorific, asking for help, and naturally he felt so short.

One section is so difficult!

"Do I look like I'm short of money?" Li Zitao said jokingly.

"Your Excellency, why don't you tell me your conditions." Seeing the other party's disapproving expression, Augustan knew that this promise had no temptation for him.

Just think about it and you will know, even if cgt returns to profitability in the future, how much cash compensation can it provide, 50,000 or 100,000 francs?

200,000 at most is unimaginable, how could he care!

"I only have one request, a controlling stake." Li Zitao had a special interest in the shipbuilding industry after seeing battleships and giant artillery with his own eyes at Pearl Harbor.

Just in time, the cgt came up to me at this time. When I felt sleepy, someone handed me a pillow.

He already had a plan on the plane. The first step was to control cgt, and the second step was to expand his influence.

The final step was the complete annexation of CGT by Lee C. Astor Industrial Group.

What Li Zitao values ​​​​is not its market value and routes, but its technical reserves and talents.

After completely acquiring cgt, Li Zitao will not shut down the shipyards and companies here.

CGT is one of the most famous shipping companies in country F. It attracts countless talents to recommend themselves every year.

As long as he keeps it, Li Zitao can continuously recruit country F's shipbuilding industry talents to his command openly and honestly.

Headquarters study, training, promotion exams, technical exchanges, guidance

No matter what the reason is, it’s better to fool around first and wait until you dig it into a bowl and get on the pirate ship before you think about it. I’ll use 502 to paste all the cracks in the ground for you.

"I need to convince the board of directors." Augustan stood there, thinking for a long time with a gloomy face, and then made a decision.

"Dear Augustan, I think you know very well that without the support of large sums of money, the fate left to cgt will not be much better than that of White Star.

So, I hope you can do your best to convince the board of directors that I will give them a satisfactory price."

Seeing that Augustan's eyes became complicated, Li Zitao continued: "And, I guarantee that you will still sit in your current position."

Continuing to serve as cgt's CEO, this news is very important to Augustan.

"I understand, Your Excellency, and I will do my best to convince the shareholders that they understand that if they reject your goodwill, the only thing waiting for them is bankruptcy."

Augustan has decided to use all means to force the board of directors to agree to the transaction. cgt is his hard work.

He has not yet seen T6 launch, he has not seen its graceful sailing on the sea, and he has not enjoyed the joy of success and the cheers of people.

"I want to lead cgt to glory. I can and must do it." From a middle-level manager to a company executive, he was promoted to CEO and entered the board of directors.
