v3 Chapter 1481： Blackwater International's warning

"Be quiet!"

Jarvin Raleigh said sharply in a irritable and impatient tone.

Soon, the noisy conference room was quiet.

"Now that the enemy is uniting to reduce prices to expand production capacity, if we want to not lose market share, we can only follow the price reduction, otherwise customers will soon abandon us."

"My idea is to follow the price cut and stabilize the turnover as much as possible. As for the profit margin, I will think of a solution later."

After calming down, Jarvin Raleigh's thoughts became clearer, and after thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice.

The high-level people sitting there thought about it, many nodded slightly, agreeing with Jarvin Raleigh's ideas.

There was just an executive who was in charge of the company’s stock price but had to bite the bullet and continue to say: “Chairman, if this is the case, our next financial report will be ugly and it will cause a huge blow to the company’s stock price. Even in the near future, the news is announced. After that, our company’s stock price will continue to plummet."

"Should we stabilize the stock price now, or wait until the trough to repurchase the stock?"

Another executive immediately said: "Now that we are caught in vicious competition, funds will become very tight. We want to reduce prices while maintaining revenue. We can only increase production capacity. This requires a huge expenditure. Spending a sum of money to repurchase shares has little effect on the company."

"Well, I won't discuss the repurchase of stocks for the time being. I will discuss with those major shareholders separately." Seeing that the dispute was about to fall again, Gavin Raleigh decisively prevented it and made a decision.

It's just that after hearing this, the expressions of the executives in the room were very different, and Xiao Jiujiu started to strike in their hearts.

The company uses funds to repurchase stocks, which is good for shareholders.

But listening to Garvin Raleigh’s attitude, he wants shareholders to pay to increase their shareholding in the company. This is to make shareholders share the difficulties with the company. This is difficult...

It won't be easy anyway!

After all, the shareholders' money is not brought by the wind. Investors who are already making money by ride-hailing do not have the right to manage and operate the company.

Power and responsibility are equal.

Without enjoying sufficient benefits and power, they are not necessarily willing to take on greater responsibilities and risks.

Rich people are not fools...

After the meeting was over, the thoughts of the senior executives were temporarily unified, and they continued to perform their duties well in charge of the work.

Gavin Raleigh hurriedly called his old father-in-law Harry Oppenheimer after the meeting. In such a sudden crisis, he could only turn to his old father-in-law who developed Anglo American. .

…

"Ellie, is Dad in there?"

Returning to the Oppenheimer family, Gavin Raleigh saw the beautiful sister-in-law Ari Oppenheimer in the garden, and he asked.

"He is in the living room, but Dad is still angry now."

Ellie Oppenheimer picked up the puppy and said helplessly with her mouth pursed.

"Is it angry because of something?" Gavin Raleigh, who had just stepped his legs and wanted to walk in, stopped and asked the sister-in-law with scorching eyes.

"I heard that there was a problem with De Beers' mine in South Africa. I'm not sure about the specifics." Ari Oppenheimer said with some uncertainty.

Gavin Raleigh's mood became heavier, and his instinct told him that it was a series of things.

"I see, then I will go in first."

After all, Gavin Raleigh walked straight into the house.

"Garvin, you are here."

As soon as he heard the footsteps, Harry Oppenheimer, who was old but not deaf, turned his head and said with a gloomy face when he saw the son-in-law who came in.

"Yes."

"Dad, I heard that De Beers is in trouble?"

After Gavin Raleigh sat down, he asked with concern.

Harry Oppenheimer's anger surged again. He suppressed his anger and said: "Yes, five diamond mines in South Africa and Congo were all attacked by unknown forces, and all the diamonds dug out were looted. Workers suffered heavy casualties and had to stop production."

Gavin Reilly stood up in shock when he heard the words: "Dad, how can it be so serious?"

"Don't we have armed forces to defend every mine?"

Harry Oppenheimer clenched his fists, and the veins swelled under his old skin. He said in a deep voice: "Listen to the following report. The enemy has used heavy weapons and dispatched armed helicopters. The equipment is very well equipped and the number of people is very large."

"Is it an anti-government army or an international mercenary? Should I be able to find it?" Gavin Raleigh asked with a frown.

On the African continent, although the power is mixed.

But there are not many that can have this kind of strength. If they are willing to investigate, they should be able to find out.

Especially in the underground world, news spreads very quickly. Large-scale operations may be kept secret at the time, but there are so many people along the way that they will definitely be known afterwards.

"It has been found, there is the shadow of Blackwater International." Harry Oppenheimer said solemnly.

"It turned out to be them, this..." Gavin Reilly suddenly changed his face.

Although Blackwater International has just appeared for a few years and is an emerging power, it has a strong reputation on the African continent.

This apparently is an international security company from the United States, with the support of the US Department of Defense behind it. Not only is the company's employees all American veterans, but even the equipment is the equipment of the American active-duty forces.

In recent years, Blackwater International has been very active in Africa and the Middle East, and it is also known to recognize money but not people. This week it may take orders from the government forces and the next week it may take orders from the opposition.

Although Heishui International does not care about affection, its goodwill is very good, and it can get things done properly after receiving the money.

It really makes people love and hate.

Although many forces gritted their teeth on Blackwater International and want to eliminate it completely, they also know that this is unrealistic. The United States will not allow Blackwater International to be eliminated on the African continent.

So even if they know that Heishui International did it this time, they are not good at what to do.

Although the United Kingdom also has influence on the African continent, their Oppenheimer family still cannot be as influential as the Blackwater International in their own military.

If you ask someone to fight back, it will be hard to please, and you can't be stable without a lot of money.

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

Gavin Raleigh asked with concern.

Harry Oppenheimer sighed, shook his head in distress and did not answer, but instead asked, "I probably know the news. Tell me about the current situation of Anglo American."

Gavin Reilly expounded truthfully: "Dad, now the company..."

After listening to Jarvin Raleigh’s explanation, Harry Oppenheimer thought for a long time before asking again: "What about your response?"

"I have reduced prices for various business parts and announced an increase in production. I will first stabilize the customers before speaking."

"Now I can only hold on and fight hard with the opponent to see who can make it to the end." Gavin Raleigh said with a slight lowered head, quite embarrassed.

After all, this kind of inferior strategy of hurting the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred is indeed not very good.

"No need to be sorry, at this time, you are the best way to do this."

"The enemy has turned the market into a big quagmire. We can only fight with our fists and feet in the quagmire." Harry Oppenheimer patted him on the shoulder and said affirmatively.

"Then Dad, UU Reading is now in big trouble with De Beers and Anglo American. We have to think of a solution as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too bad for us, and our capital can't follow suit. They are consumed." Jarvin Raleigh reminded.

But Harry Oppenheimer leaned on the sofa and sighed: "What can be done."

"These people are going for the Rohill family, we are just innocently involved."

"If the Rohir family does not make a choice, or repel all enemies, our troubles will not be resolved."

"Unless we stand up and help the Rohir family repel the enemy."

"But the enemy's warning has been issued, do you think we can stand up?"

Hearing this, Jarvin Raleigh thought of the attacks encountered by the De Beers company's multiple mines. His mouth squirmed a few times, and his belly full of words and aggrieved sighs finally turned into a long sigh.

"Hey…"
