"Mr. Vaudric, thank you very much for your serious attitude towards the work of the group. You don't have to worry. Maybe someone forgot to tell you that the change of the contract was approved by us."
There was no anger in the gentle voice. Even through the phone line, one could imagine the gentle image of the old man on the other side of the phone.
Some people had this ability. Even if you didn't see them, you could still see their vivid image in your mind when you communicated with them.
"Why didn't I know?
No one informed me until now … "Mr. Vaudric's tone was a little angry. Changing the contract was such a big thing, but no one informed him. He was the president of the group!
"I need an explanation, your excellency."
At this time, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation. "Pay attention to your attitude, Vaudric. You don't have to be informed about the decision of the subsidiary company."
Mr. Vaudric was the president of the group. He was responsible for the daily work of the group. The important decisions of the company were in the form of written reports, which were given to him at a fixed time every week.
This was the reason why the guy outside was the nominal president of the subsidiary company. At the same time, his proposal was passed by the board of directors, which led to the problem of the order of the process.
First report and then vote, and first vote and then report. Although it seemed the same, in fact, Mr. Vaudric had to know this information the next week. However, they had already voted, which created an information gap.
One week was enough for them to do a lot of things, including creating a fait accompli and signing the contract that he didn't know about.
When he knew about it, he couldn't change anything, just like now.
"Mr. Vaudric's intention is good. We don't need to blame him. Instead, I think we should encourage this behavior."
"All of us are united to be 'Megan'. We also need to be united."
"Let me explain a little, Mr. Vaudric. We also signed a memorandum and additional terms in this agreement …"
In the past few days, someone had submitted a proposal to the board of directors. The person who submitted the proposal was the president of a small company in the financial group.
What was a financial group? Simply speaking, it was an interest group that controlled a lot of wealth. This group didn't belong to one person, but to a group of people.
Where there were people, there was a hierarchy. Some people were in high positions, while others were in low positions. However, as long as they were in this group, communication was absolutely not a problem.
This guy proposed a hypothesis. Would Soran tear up the contract in various ways?
This was very likely. In fact, everyone knew that Solon's purpose of signing this large order with the consortium was not entirely to get the thermal power generation units in advance, but to snipe Lynch.
Lynch wanted a good start in Amelia, which was not in the interest of the Guevara People. That was why Governor Seder had arranged for Sauron to attack Lynch's base in the Federation and cut off his escape route.
Once they achieved this, it would mean that they had achieved their true goal – to defeat Lynch's strong presence in the Amelia region.
As for whether they could get the most advanced thermal power generation units, they didn't care very much. With the current technology owned by Guevara, it was not too far behind the one launched by the Federation. They could completely meet the local power gap by repeating the construction, and at the same time, expand the influence of Guevara's local businessmen.
They could build a more stable and large-scale power plant with higher power generation capacity. In the future, they would be more competitive in similar international orders.
It must be known that the Federation had already proposed to use a secret installation method to ensure that these generators couldn't be disassembled. Even the Gaffra people had agreed to such harsh conditions, which made the board of directors somewhat uneasy.
This statement was very close to the current development of the situation, so the board of directors summoned the low-level management member who proposed the proposal overnight and discussed some countermeasures.
Excluding those that were not very important or not much changed, the biggest change was the liquidated damages, which directly increased to 900 million. The reason why the increase was so much was that the chairman of the board of directors and some politicians in the Congress had discussed it.
If there was a debt dispute between the Federation and Guevara in trade, they would support the Megan Financial Group to fight for their own interests at the right time according to the agreement.
In other words, with the commitment of these members of Congress, as long as the other party breached the contract, the Federation would put pressure on Guevara. This was the power of the country!
Later, after an emergency private consultation between the two sides, a memorandum and a supplementary clause were signed to supplement the main contract.
Solon had no objection to this. Anyway, the liquidated damages were relative. If he breached the contract, he would naturally bear the corresponding responsibility. However, if the Federation breached the contract, it would be the same.
Moreover, this order of 600 million was not completed immediately. It was carried out in stages, and the whole process would last about three to five years.
This memorandum also mentioned that if the company had more advanced power generation technology after three to five years, the goods purchased would automatically be upgraded to the latest technology, and the price would fluctuate according to the market.
This was a new contract that was more detailed for both sides, with more restrictions and power. Neither side had any objection to it.
"… The situation is like this. We all agree that this new contract better protects our interests. I believe you will not object after you know."
After the gentle voice ended, Mr. Vaudric fell into deep thought. If he had not been in contact with Lynch before and did not know what Lynch was going to do, he would also think that this was not a big problem.
With the assistance of Congress and the Federation government, it was possible to pursue a huge amount of liquidated damages across borders. No matter what, Governor Seder would not breach the contract casually.
This also meant that the 600 million contract had a stable guarantee. As for the subsequent changes in the new technology, it was reasonable for the consortium's board of directors to consider.
"Your Excellency, have you considered that we may become the breaching party?"
Mr. Vaudric still wanted to make a final rescue. He proposed a situation that the board of directors had never considered before.
Then there were all kinds of laughter on the phone. Every board member behind the laughter was laughing. Some of them were laughing so hard that tears were about to flow out.
"Mr. CEO, I have to admit that sometimes your ideas are a little … a little … Hmm, like a wild horse without any restraints. You are suitable to write scripts, Mr. CEO …"
"Vaudric, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year …"
"You have changed my impression of you, you know? I didn't expect you to be so humorous …"
Everyone was expressing their ridicule of this assumption. Their tone was mixed with a hint of mockery. They were the ones who were laughing at Vaudric.
His Excellency the Chairman was also laughing, but his laughter was not so harsh, just like the image he gave people, a kind old man who was knowledgeable, full of life experience, and possessed wisdom.
"Mr. Vaudric, thank you for reminding me of the risks. Please forgive my arrogance. With my power, no one can make us fail. Yes, no one!"
"I don't think your careful considerations will come true."
The most gentle voice said the most arrogant words, but he did have such qualifications. If he didn't talk to Lynch, Mr. Vaudric himself wouldn't believe it.
Seeing that he couldn't convince these people at this time, Mr. Vaudric could only sigh. "Well, I hope it's just my imagination. I'm sorry to disturb everyone because of my personal matters."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Vaudric. I'm glad you called us. This shows that we will always stand together …"
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Vaudric looked at the phone for a while and then shook his head. He needed to calm down.
The fact that the Megan Financial Group signed a big order with Solon blew a whirlwind in the Federation in an instant. The most direct reaction was that all the listed companies related to the Megan Financial Group had different increases.
This was also the second goal of the Megan Financial Group. They used good news to stimulate the financial market and increase the value of each shareholder.
For example, the group's board of directors, in just one day, their personal assets would increase by a few percent to more than ten percent.
Don't underestimate this small amount. As long as the base was large enough, it would be a very amazing number!
In a house in the Bupain Mountain Villa area, Lynch was enjoying a delicate steak while watching the report on TV.
"According to the report from our reporter, the Dan Limore Research Center under the Megan Financial Group is clearly leading the world in thermal power generation technology and thermal energy transmission …"
Lyme looked at the report and couldn't help but secretly glance at Lynch. "Mr. Lynch, are we really going to short Dan Limore's stock?"
Lynch nodded with a smile. He put down his knife and fork and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. He didn't answer Lyme's question but asked about other things.
"I heard that your studio has started operating?"
Lyme had been with Lynch for some time. Lynch had also fulfilled his promise to him and let him have his own business.
Lyme set up a financial brokerage company. Of course, Lynch also took out some money to occupy a certain amount of shares.
This financial brokerage company was similar to most brokerage companies in Bupain, but Lyme's was more high-end. They not only had ordinary financial business, but also industrial business.
In just a year, Lyme had his own business. When he thought of this, the smile on his face became brighter.
