Chapter 490 Whispering

After everyone greeted each other, they sat down from the host and guest.Fang Mingyuan noticed that Fairbanks' old face was as stern as a whiteboard, and his eyes were fixed on Dudley Wei, obviously very dissatisfied with his arrival.Dudley also stared back without showing any weakness, and deliberately gave Fairbanks a meaningful smile.The anger in Fairbanks' heart immediately jumped up.

Now that the guests had arrived, Prince Abdullah's servants began to serve the food like a stream.For this dinner, Prince Abdullah still attached great importance to it. Roasted whole camels appeared at the banquet. This is a delicacy that Arabs only cook when entertaining distinguished guests.It's just that today, neither Fairbanks nor Dudley has the heart to taste this rare delicacy.The two of them tossed and turned in their hearts thinking about how to persuade Fang Mingyuan.

At this time, Dudley no longer had the joy he had when he left in the morning. He had already reported Fang Mingyuan's conditions to the headquarters of Fudi Petroleum Holding Company, but the reply from the headquarters did not come back until he came. This made Dudley Wei felt very headache.The appearance of Fairbanks made him worry even more.

To be honest, Dudley didn't think the conditions Fang Mingyuan raised in the morning were too much.If the positions of Fudi Petroleum Holding Company and Fang Mingyuan could be reversed, he believed that he would put forward even harsher conditions.But those people in the headquarters, how come there is no news yet?

Since Fairbanks came, he must have come to break the agreement between himself and Fang Mingyuan. If BP was rich and willing to pay a higher price, would Fang Mingyuan change his mind?Thinking of this, Dudley could not help but secretly scolded the headquarters of Fudi Petroleum Holding Company. If he had sufficient authority, he would definitely sign a legally binding document with Fang Mingyuan in the morning. conditions are useless.

It's a pity that that's just his fantasy. All foreign representatives of Forte Oil Holdings do not have such high authority.With such authority, it means that Du Deliwei has entered the core senior management of Forte Oil Holding Company.Now, Dudley is in trouble. He doesn't know, if Fairbanks proposes more favorable conditions to persuade Fang Mingyuan, what will he use to tempt Fang Mingyuan?

What made him feel a little relieved was that Fang Mingyuan was able to inform him of this and allowed him to appear at this dinner party, which at least showed that Fang Mingyuan's attitude was still biased towards himself.This is thanks to the top management of BP, if they had not sent Fairbanks here, but sent a more polite and communicative representative, maybe they would have been completely kicked out .

Fairbanks looked at Dudley's relaxed appearance, and his heart was full of anger. "His Royal Highness Prince Abdullah, I didn't expect you to invite Mr. Dudliwei."

Prince Abdullah was startled when he heard the words, and smiled: "Mr. Fairbanks, I think you misunderstood this. Mr. Dudley was not invited by me, but he came to visit Fang at this time. It's time for dinner, so I naturally want to do what the landlord wants."

"Humph" Fairbanks snorted weakly, he is not a fool, and he doesn't understand the circles in it.It's just that people insisted that there was no invitation, but if the meeting happened to happen, Fairbanks had nothing to do.

"Originally, I was going to leave, but when I heard that Mr. Fairbanks was coming, I had no choice but to stay." Dudley sneered.

"Hmph, it's really embarrassing for us British gentlemen," Fairbanks said coldly.There are many Dudliweis here, and it will take a lot of trouble for him to persuade Fang Mingyuan.

Dudley said indifferently: "Yes, some people who come uninvited and disturb other people's reception are really embarrassing to the British."

Fairbanks was startled, and his old face immediately turned red. Then he remembered that the last time Dudley and Fang Mingyuan met, he also came uninvited

"Mr. Dudley, my British Petroleum Corporation's acquisition of Forte Oil Holdings is inevitable this time. We have also heard that Mr. Dudley won a huge oil order for your company in one fell swoop after the outbreak of the Gulf War last year. Guaranteeing the normal operation of your company's oil production during that period is an outstanding achievement. Senior management talents like you are also what our company urgently needs, and I don't think you need to worry about your future work." Miha Luo interjected from the side.Although such hints are not level, Michalo also broke the embarrassment of Fairbanks.

"Hmph, what is there to worry about? Didn't Forte Oil Holdings implement the Golden Parachute Plan? He will definitely get a share of it," Fairbanks said coldly.

The parachute plan is a strategy for inter-enterprise acquisitions and anti-acquisitions. As a compensation agreement, the parachute plan stipulates that in the case of a target company being acquired, relevant employees can receive A huge placement fee.It is divided into three types such as the golden parachute.

The golden parachute is mainly aimed at the company's executives. The board of directors of the acquired company passes a resolution, and the company's directors and senior managers sign a contract with the acquired company. When you are dismissed, you can receive a huge lump-sum pension or severance pay, stock option income or additional allowances.The benefits of the Golden Parachute Program vary depending on the status, qualifications and past performance of the winners.The income is like a "parachute" that allows top managers to come down safely from their high positions, and because the income is as rich as gold, it is named the "Golden Parachute" plan.It is also a strategy to increase the cost of mergers and acquisitions for acquiring companies.

Mihalo sighed inwardly when he heard it, and Fairbanks' tolerance was too small, so asking other guests frequently at Prince Abdullah's banquet would only cause dissatisfaction among others.If it is said that Dudley left the meeting in anger, it is true that he hurt his face, but as the instigator, Fairbanks may also arouse the dissatisfaction of the host, which is not their original intention to come here.But he was the deputy, so it was fine to remind Fairbanks tactfully in private. How could he refute Fairbanks' face in public.

"I heard that Mr. Fairbanks is also an old employee of BP. I don't know if he is?" Dudley said with a smile.It's just that the smile looks a bit malicious no matter how you look at it.

Fairbanks raised his head and said proudly: "I have been working for BP since I left school, and it has been more than 30 years." This is his pride and pride.

"If Chevron and ExxonMobil intend to acquire BP, and if your company decides to implement the parachute plan, will Mr. Fairbanks refuse to sign?" Dudley stared at Fairbanks' eyes said.

Fairbanks opened his mouth, only to realize that it is not good to say "yes" to this question, nor is it good to say "no".In the final analysis, the parachute plan is just a means of anti-acquisition, which is to create more acquisition costs for the acquiring company, thereby forcing it to retreat.In itself, there is no right or wrong.As a middle and senior manager of the company, it is really inappropriate to reject the resolution of the company's board of directors.But if it is signed, what qualifications does he have to accuse Dudley Wei?

"I'm not talking to you here, Mr. Dudley Wei." Fairbanks sneered, "I just want to tell you that Forte Oil Holdings cannot stop our BP acquisition. Your efforts are just It’s just the time to change the morning and evening”

"Postponed 100 years, after I am buried, it doesn't matter if Forte Oil Holdings acquired BP," Dudley retorted sharply to Maimangdi.

"That's absolutely impossible Dudley, you're daydreaming," Fairbanks scolded angrily.

Michallo's brows were all wrinkled. He didn't expect that Fairbanks could not hold back his anger like this, which was very rude.He looked at Prince Abdullah, Prince Maktoum, and Fang Mingyuan on the chair. The three had stopped eating and drinking, and frowned at Fairbanks.

"Papa" Prince Abdullah clapped his hands, and five dancers wearing veils and gorgeous costumes came in from outside, and they danced lightly in the middle of the banquet with the sound of Arabic-style music.Fairbanks and Dudley immediately understood that Prince Abdullah was already displeased, so they interrupted the dispute between them in this way.

Fairbanks suppressed the anger in his chest. Although he was arrogant, he also understood that Prince Abdullah had a great influence on Fang Mingyuan, the owner of the 20.00% five shares of the Calafal Oilfield, and If he lost his composure at Prince Abdullah's banquet and aroused Prince Abdullah's anger, the top management of BP would have no choice but to transfer him back who was unreasonable.

After singing and dancing, Prince Abdullah waved his hand, and all the dancers left again.Then Prince Abdullah said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fairbanks, Mr. Dudley, the reason for the dispute between the two of you is very clear to all present. The conflict between you is also embarrassing for the other side. Since everyone is here today, you might as well make it clear. Both of you bid separately, and Fang will make the final choice." v
