  Chapter 1142 Taking advantage of the fire to rob

   "President Martin, you misunderstood me..."

Song Yang's expression was very serious, even somewhat serious, as if Martin Solo had really misunderstood Song Yang. Song Yang definitely did not come here for the 29% equity of Double-click Company, hoping that Martin Solo would This part of the equity was sold to Double-click Company at the price of cabbage. Is he the kind of person who takes advantage of the fire? !

Martin Solo is also serious. Looking at the most proud student he has taught, he knows that he will have to pay a huge price this time, but he has no idea how big it is, but WPP Group insists When some double-clicking the company's equity could not become a bargaining chip at all, his heart sank.

   "Song..."

  Ma didn't know what he was thinking of, Ding Solo sneered, "The current WPP Group is not mine. I hold less than 2% of WPP Group's equity, which cannot determine the fate of WPP Group!"

   When he said this, Martin Solo felt a little gnashing his teeth. If he was the major shareholder of WPP Group, there would be no such troubles at all.

But now, although the WPP Group was established by him alone, to be honest, Martin Solo is now working for the WPP Group's board of directors. Since the WPP Group is unkind to him, why should he be unjust? What psychological burden? !

   "Song, what do you want, after Christmas, Robert Quarta will initiate a WPP board vote!

  I was expelled from the WPP Group, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to get everything you want, including the equity of Double-click Company, that idiot Quarta, his eyes are only on the WPP headquarters, and he can’t see America at all! "

Martin Solo directly opened the skylight to speak bluntly, and asked Song Yang what chips he wanted before he was willing to help him. He may not be the best supporter, but within the WPP Group, Song Yang can pick out the best collaborators, That's him!

  Song Yang knocked on the desk a few times with his fingers, "President Martin, if you want to help you regain control of the WPP Group, you must acquire enough equity in the WPP Group."

Martin Solo nodded noncommittally. This is also the purpose of his coming. Except for Song Yang, it is difficult for him to find someone in a short period of time who can spend a large sum of money and dare to buy shares of WPP Group to bet on him up.

   Leaning forward slightly, Song Yang looked at Martin Solo, "President Martin, you can continue to serve as the president of WPP Group. No one can object. I and the Bruno family are willing to support President Martin forever, but...

I hope that after this time, double-click the company to become a major shareholder of WPP Group. Of course, the promise to President Martin will not change. No one can replace your position as WPP Group President. In the future, there will be more in WPP Group With rights and resources, you will also become one of the co-presidents of Double-click Company, just like Whitman! "

  Martin Solo was in a daze for a moment, his palms could not help clenching his fists, and veins appeared on his face. Song Yang's words stimulated him too much.

He thought about paying a huge price for the double-click company that he once invested in and regarded as a trophy to become the parent company of the WPP Group, but the price was too heavy, and it made Martin Solo's face even worse. Disgraceful.

Song Yang looked at the look on Martin Solo's face. The conditions were set out. Whether he would accept it or not was a matter for Mr. Martin. A country with more than 200,000 employees is a behemoth. Only an old Jianghu like Martin Solo can defend this behemoth. It will take no one to know how long it will take to straighten out the WPP Group's large and small hills.

However, if Martin Solo is not willing to accept it, then Song Yang will continue to work, taking advantage of the internal strife in the WPP Group to eat it forcibly, and if there is such an opportunity next time, I don’t know how to wait until the year of the monkey is gone. The key point is that if the WPP Group is not taken down now and it is not transformed into digital advertising, in the hands of Robert Quarta and his gang, the WPP Group will only become weaker and weaker, and even be eliminated. Such a WPP Group, Song Yang What is the use of it? !

The fireplace was crackling and burning. After the anger passed, Martin Solo suddenly felt that what made him angry was not that Double-Click Company wanted to turn against customers and ride on the head of WPP Group, but that Song Yang became his big financial backer, which made Martin The reason why Solo was extremely angry just now, in other words, his mentality has not adjusted.

With a long sigh, I didn't expect that I would still be unable to guarantee the late festival. The conditions offered by Song Yang were actually not bad. As the president, Whitman is basically dealing with eBay's affairs, and Martin will actually become the head of Double-click and WPP Group. Is the most powerful figure in the global advertising industry, even more than before!

   In addition to losing his old face, it is in the best interest of Martin Solo to cooperate with Song Yang. After getting angry, the old Martin quickly figured out the cause and effect. It is up to him to choose whether he wants face or face.

Song Yang didn't try to persuade him any more. Without Zhang Butcher, he couldn't eat meat anymore. If Martin Solo really didn't want to do it, then Song Yang could only find other professional managers. In a hurry, Song Yang directly Please invite Welch, who is a consultant at the North American Global Investment Foundation, or former IBM President Gerstner to come out. The status and strength of these two are no worse than the old Martin, right? !

   Money can make things go wrong. As long as Welch or Gerstner are invited to let WPP Group go through the painful period of the first few years after being acquired, and then select a new professional manager, it will be much easier to take charge of it.

"Since this period of time, WPP's stock price has fallen a lot, but now the market value is close to more than 30 billion US dollars. If you want to get a controlling stake in WPP Group, you must at least get about 30% of WPP Group's equity, plus my The stake in WPP Group, as well as other board supporters, was able to defeat Roberto Quarta in the board resolution!"

  Hearing that Martin Solo started to make plans, Song Yang knew that between face and face, he still chose the latter. After all, how much is face worth? !

Rumors of internal strife have caused the WPP Group's stock price to drop a lot recently. This kind of scandal is what worries the leeks most. How many giant companies have been destroyed by internal strife. The invisible enemy is more powerful than the visible enemy. horrible.

After so many years, WPP Group's equity has been quite dispersed. It is already a considerable advantage to get 30% of the equity. Nearly tens of billions of US dollars in real money is enough. Once the news that Song Yang is rushing to raise funds, even the stock price of WPP Group will double in an instant!

  "North American Global Investment Foundation has begun to prepare for the establishment of an international foundation, and acquired the shares of WPP Group on the London Stock Exchange.

  However, if you want to get more bargaining chips as soon as possible, you still need to acquire equity from other shareholders of WPP Group. This requires you, President Martin, to find those directors of WPP Group who are willing to cooperate! "

Song Yang poured another glass of wine for Martin Solo, "Don't worry about the funds. Double-click is issuing new shares and bonds, plus borrowing from banks and Wall Street institutions, it should be able to raise enough to acquire WPP The beauty knife of the group!"

Sitting across from Song Yang, Martin Solo, who is currently the president of WPP Group, and Song Yang are planning to acquire WPP Group, there is always a feeling of absurdity. Is this the real version? The ministers are about to fight to the death, Your Majesty Why did they drop first? The WPP group deliberately never imagined that Martin Solo would sell them first!

However, when he thought of Robert Quarta's gang of traitors who wanted to depose him from the throne and sent him to a British prison, Martin Solo's strange feeling of selling WPP Group disappeared immediately, and I sold myself Is there anything wrong with the company established by one hand? On the contrary, Robert Quarta and his group of young people dare to kill the king. At most, it is to restore orthodoxy and do special things in special times.

   "In addition to the WPP Group's equity, there is another thing. Robert Quarta has been mobilizing public opinion, and he has put pressure on the British House of Lords, wanting the British inspection agency to launch an investigation on me."

Martin Solo said with a little worry at first, and then saw Song Yang's expression, and said righteously, "I am not worried about the investigation of me by the British inspection agency, but I am worried that Robert Quarta will be a hindrance to it. During the voting period, an investigation was launched against me..."

Song Yang looked at Martin Solo, who was not afraid of the shadow swaying. He didn't know how he dared to say this, and he was not afraid of being investigated. What's more, who took away 300 million pounds in salary in a few years, Are there any insider transactions among the hundreds of acquired companies?

   These Martin Solos know best, he is the only one who knows if he is flustered or not, he is obviously afraid of being caught, and he speaks with confidence, because he is afraid of delaying Song Yang's big event, and becoming the advertising tsar, this cheeky kung fu is also very good.
