Chapter 0282 Roger's Choice
Brother Gou and his wife were working hard to have a baby in the house, while Li Zitao was drinking outside until he was about to vomit.
They were a little restrained at first, but after Li Zitao drank the glasses cleanly, and with the stimulation of alcohol, no one cared who was older or younger.
Li Zitao also accepts everyone who comes. On weekdays, Brother Gou helps him and manages S.H.I.E.L.D. behind the scenes, stepping forward to support the situation when necessary.
Today, he had to help Brother Dog hold the position.
drink!
"Wow" Li Zitao lay beside the bed, vomiting so loudly that he screamed earth-shatteringly.
If one person drinks at nearly 200 tables in turn, everyone will vomit, and mutation will be useless.
Adelaide sat beside the bed to take care of him, while servants came in and out, changing basins, towels, and sobering pills, in an orderly and silent manner.
"Drink, keep going, come on!" Li Zitao raised his hand and shouted.
"..." She patted his arm wordlessly. Adelaide was angry and funny. She rarely saw him like this.
On weekdays, he is always cynical, but at the same time he is thoughtful, calm and sophisticated, not at all like a man of his age.
Now, I actually look a bit young and energetic.
"What a fool, you sent me here and you didn't even give me a system. The mutation is still passive, don't give it to me." The muttering started again.
It wasn't the first time Adelaide heard it, but she only heard a limited number of words.
She doesn't understand Chinese, but she has been learning it secretly since she established a relationship with Li Zitao.
As a wife, if you don’t even understand your husband’s race, language, culture and history, how can you truly integrate into his heart?
Adelaide hopes that he can be proud of himself and her, which will also make her proud.
However, it was difficult for her to understand what her fiancé said after drinking.
Send, a, stool, secret, to, me???
Li Zitao spoke too quickly and slurred, and Adelaide could only understand these few words, "Give me a piece of stool."
After reciting it several times, she kept this sentence in her mind and wanted to find her Chinese teacher to translate it when she had time.
Maybe he will know what the real meaning of this sentence is?
…
…
"Yeah~" Rubbing his confused head, Li Zitao opened his eyelids and stood up in a daze.
He couldn't remember exactly how much he drank last night. He only knew that glasses of white wine and red wine were poured into his stomach like water.
Later on, he stopped making movies completely, and I don’t know how he came back.
His fiancée was lying on the bedside and had fallen asleep, rubbing her forehead. Li Zitao picked her up and put her on the bed before walking out of the room.
"Master." Dan stood guard at the door.
"Give me a glass of something to sober up." Don't worry, it will make him feel better.
My brain felt as heavy as if it had been hit hard with a hammer. It was so uncomfortable.
After drinking two cups of special sobering tea, Li Zitao leaned on the sofa and did not regain his energy until noon.
"Sir, this is a document sent by a think tank." Hogg came over with a telegram.
It was about the results of the negotiations between Albed and Bethlehem. The two parties went back and forth for a week, and the outcome was not ideal.
American Steel Group has intervened, and they are actively contacting Albedo Steel Company to replace Bethlehem.
Whether in terms of scale or influence, American Steel Group has a stronger advantage than Bethlehem.
If it weren't for Li Zitao still holding 30% of the shares and the Grand Duke's family leaning towards Bethlehem, there would be no point in continuing the negotiations between the two parties.
"We must make appropriate concessions and never let U.S. Steel take its place." Li Zitao personally called the think tank.
Once U.S. Steel and Albed join forces, Bethlehem will completely lose room for development.
The current market size will gradually be compressed until it completely loses its competitiveness.
At that time, there are only two ways left for it: to be acquired or to go bankrupt.
…
…
"Director Rojef, we have made concessions to your request. Bethlehem's shareholding ratio has been reduced to 29%. This is our greatest sincerity."
Ben stood up and handed the document to Roger opposite him, and then said, "U.S. Steel is stronger, but I think you have heard about the greed of the Morgan consortium."
In this regard, no one can deny that the industry dominance of U.S. Steel cannot be challenged by Bethlehem, the second largest steel company.
If this were not the case, why would Li Zitao have to promote the merger with Albeid?
"We are also very clear about His Majesty the Marquis's methods." Rogerev said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"But His Excellency the Marquis's care for his friends will be recognized throughout the United States." Ben reminded him that Li Zitao's care for his friends is well known to everyone.
Whether he wants to be an enemy or a friend depends on his choice.
Roger Cappellona is the third largest shareholder of Albed, but he is the leader of the other three major companies and small shareholders.
Whether in the association or the guild, he has a strong influence, so he must be convinced first.
As long as he can gain his approval, the obstacles to the merger of Albeid and Bethlehem will be reduced by half.
Roger Capello is also thinking about whether to be friends or enemies.
Li Zitao holds 30% of Albert's shares, and the Grand Duke's family also holds 37%, which is very critical.
No matter who wants to have his or her own way, even if a deal is eventually made, there will be trouble.
If the huge group after the merger adopts a hostile attitude and forcibly merges together, without any coordination and cooperation, it will surely perish and be eliminated by the market.
This is exactly what they avoid, and both parties are doing their best to avoid it.
Moreover, Li Zitao is currently in the limelight in North America, overthrowing the Kendi family and causing the Boston consortium to suffer.
Old Joseph Kendi was imprisoned and instantly fell from a first-rate family in the United States to a third-rate family, making life difficult.
Regarding the details of this incident, there are also many messages from outside. Although those conspiracy theories cannot be completely believed, they are still worrying.
"This feels really bad." Rodger cursed in his mind.
Friend? Enemy? He has to make a choice.
20 minutes later, conference room.
This is already the seventh meeting this week, and every day they quarrel and debate endlessly.
The gunpowder-filled atmosphere made everyone feel exhausted.
The main seat was filled with representatives from all parties, with Jean sitting at the head of the table, and the surrounding walls were also filled with assistants, recorders, and subordinates standing silently around.
"I agree with the merger proposal between Bethlehem and Albed, and His Excellency the Marquis personally called and very sincerely lowered the shareholding ratio to 31%.
Your Excellency is willing to give up 11 points, which shows me the importance and friendship he attaches to us. U.S. Steel's request is more like robber-like plunder, friends."
Hearing Rojef take the lead in speaking, Ben was slightly startled, and then he felt ecstasy in his heart, and he put down the big stone he had lifted.
Luo Jiefu's performance at this moment, taking the initiative to increase his shares by 3 percentage points, undoubtedly shows that he made a judgment and chose Li Zitao's friendship.
And this is also the most correct and easy choice for him.
