After a while.
Seeing that no one spoke.
Marshall felt a sneer in his heart.
These high-level executives and board members.
They have often opposed him.
But now that it's a serious matter, not one of them speaks, all waiting for him to give orders.
If something goes wrong, he will take the blame.
If there are benefits, they all jump out to get them.
However.
He was the largest shareholder of the company.
Of course, he had to be responsible for the company.
"Since no one is speaking, I will share my views."
"However, I'll say this upfront, if there are any flaws in the plan, don't you all jump out and say it's all my responsibility later."
"After I finish explaining the plan, if anyone has any opinions, they can voice them!"
He decided to be polite first, then firm.
He first preempted everyone with his words.
If the plan truly had problems in the future, then they would all bear it together.
It could also be seen that Marshall was now truly treating Meng Hao as an opponent.
He was even exceptionally cautious in planning.
"First, the public opinion war... Since we can't compete with Daxiahua Rong Technology in terms of mechs, let's just promote that mechs are useless, that mechs have hidden dangers, or even smear Hua Rong Technology... Didn't he repeatedly announce that he was not a military enterprise? Then let's find trouble for him on that front."
"Second, the blockade... Unite with other Western Union companies in Daxiahua Country to jointly target labor contracts, establishing exclusivity agreements. Anyone working for our allied companies who jumps to Hua Rong Technology must pay a sky-high breach of contract fee... At the same time, we will poach people from Hua Rong Technology with heavy rewards. Regardless of his intentions for suddenly hiring so many employees, we must not let him succeed."
"Third..."
Marshall deployed several strategies in succession.
The directors and executives exchanged bewildered glances.
Of course.
It wasn't that they thought Marshall's strategies were problematic.
It was that.
Each and every one of these points, these matters, seemed inseparable from... money!
They required vast sums of money to pave the way.
Marshall.
Was no philanthropist.
Meng Hao was to be targeted.
Hua Rong Technology was to be brought down.
However.
If they could take the opportunity to deal with Meng Hao and Hua Rong Technology to make these directors bleed profusely, that would also be a good choice.
In short.
Marshall would pay, and these directors must also pay... whether it was by transferring company shares or by taking money from their personal coffers... In short, for every amount Marshall paid, these directors and high-level executives had to pay the same.
After the matter was settled.
Meng Hao was brought down.
Hua Rong Technology was discredited.
Marshall would naturally have made a fortune.
What if his plan failed?
Then there was no problem either.
After all, it was agreed upon by all the directors and executives.
If it failed, they would just think of other ways.
And Marshall would have already pocketed all the money he was supposed to make!
This, was the key point.
He lectured for a full half hour.
Only then did Marshall stop and take a sip of water.
Then, he looked around.
"This is my plan."
"Who agrees, who opposes?"
"Very good, no one opposes... it's decided!"
...
Meng Hao, who had already arrived at Hua Rong Technology's headquarters in Shilin, received a call before he could even settle down.
It was Songzan from TADA Company in the Indian country.
Meng Hao had a good impression of this vice president of TADA Company from the Indian country, whose language was filled with curry flavor.
"Oh, dear Meng!"
"The mechs you sent are simply stunning."
"They are truly products of high technology!"
"My God, our divine elephants, even without being able to disassemble the internal parts of the mech's shell, we were already amazed by this charming technological masterpiece."
Meng Hao frowned.
As the saying goes, no one visits the temple without a reason.
This Songzan, who spoke with such a strong curry flavor, would not call just to praise him and butter him up.
"Thank you for your high praise!"
"Mr. Songzan, is there something you need?"
Meng Hao was busy.
For example, being intimate with Qin Muyan; for example, watching videos on Bilibili; and for example, inspecting the public relations department filled with long-legged beauties.
Life was short.
Time should be spent on important matters.
Seeing that Meng Hao had no intention of chatting idly, Songzan coughed a few times, masking his awkwardness.
"It's like this."
"Dear Meng."
"Do you want a nuclear-powered submarine?"
What was this?
A nuclear-powered submarine?
Meng Hao was a bit stunned.
The previous wager had indeed mentioned that the winner takes all.
Not only would he gain exclusive cooperation rights with TADA Company, but he would also receive a retired nuclear-powered submarine from the Indian country.
However.
The tripartite wager agreement was not yet over.
Would sending him the nuclear submarine in advance not displease the Test Company?
Of course.
Meng Hao was certain to win this tripartite agreement.
Of course.
Setting aside these thoughts.
Meng Hao was very interested in nuclear submarines.
After all.
Globally speaking.
There was no civilian company without military background that could obtain a nuclear submarine.
This was quite impressive!
"I am indeed quite interested in nuclear submarines!"
"However, as a mature businessman, I always abide by contracts and agreements."
"Is it not a bit inappropriate to receive a nuclear submarine in advance before the tripartite wager agreement is completed?"
Who was Meng Hao?
He was very cunning.
First, he expressed his interest in the nuclear submarine, then he brought up the contract, so that he would at least have a fallback if any unexpected issues arose.
Moreover.
Pies don't fall from the sky.
This Songzan, who was so enthusiastically calling him and praising him, and now directly dangling a nuclear submarine to tempt Meng Hao.
Even a ghost wouldn't believe he didn't have ulterior motives.
Seeing that Meng Hao had appropriately expressed his interest in the nuclear submarine, Songzan's tone became excited.
"Dear Meng."
"It's like this."
"I heard that you previously purchased the shell of an F-35 fighter jet, and then you had the Hua Rong Type I mech, which was dazzling!"
"Later, I heard that you ordered four lithography machines with their cores removed, and then China had its own domestically developed lithography machines!"
Meng Hao patiently listened.
He was extremely curious.
What was Songzan up to?
Songzan finally revealed the core of the matter.
"It's like this, my father is a naval admiral in our Indian country."
"Coincidentally, our Indian country is facing some problems."
"I'm not afraid to make you laugh, but the real reason for the retirement of the Annihilator Type I nuclear-powered submarine, which was a prize in the winner-takes-all tripartite agreement, was not because it was too old!"
"After all, this nuclear submarine has only been in service for five years!"
Wow.
No wonder Songzan, despite his young age, could become the vice president of TADA Company, the largest foreign trade company in the Indian country.
So, he was a second-generation military official!
This was truly amazing!
