Chapter 417 Acquisition of Top Assets

Magic Films, Mumbai.

Yardley had been following the conversation between Heyemu and Roden.

Although he couldn't hear what Luoton said on the phone, he could guess something from the changes in He Yemu's expression.

This Heyemu is too arrogant. Luoton is not himself.

A person like me would definitely be humble and dare not offend He Yemu.

But Heyemu also wants to treat Roton in the same way, which is really stupid.

He Yemu suddenly called "Hello, hello, hello" several times into the phone, very loudly.

Adley felt amused. It was obvious that Rotten hung up the phone without giving him any face at all.

He heard everything He Yemu said just now. He really didn't treat Luoton as a human being.

After all, Rodon is the deputy commissioner of the New Delhi Police, a young deputy inspector general.

Whether in the police system or in the Central Bureau of Investigation, they hold real power.

As the secretary of the chairman of the Tata Group, Heyemu can indeed gain the respect of countless people outside.

This respect does not come from him himself, but from Cyrus and the Tata Group standing behind him.

But Luo Dun obviously doesn't need to care too much about the Tata Group.

Then Heyemu is nothing in Roton's eyes.

Yardley wanted to laugh out loud now.

He had long disliked Heyemu, but he just didn't dare to.

It has to be Luoton again. This time, Luoton severely punished Heyemu and felt relieved.

"Bang", He Yemu suddenly smashed the phone in his hand to the ground.

Yardley was dumbfounded, must he be sick.

This is his cell phone.

He Yemu also reacted after he dropped his phone.

"I will compensate you with a new phone." He Yemu said.

"No, no, it's just a cell phone." Yardley said hurriedly.

Although I was unhappy, I couldn't show it.

A mobile phone is really nothing to him.

Yadley's mind is not on this now, but he is thinking about whether Heyemu will target him afterwards.

Being targeted by such a guy would definitely be troublesome, after all, he has great power.

In everyone's view, Heyemu's every move in public represents the Tata Group to some extent.

No one dared to offend Heyemu, and everyone would cooperate with him in everything he did.

How does Magic Pictures compare to the influence of the Tata Group? The difference between an ant and an elephant.

But since Rotun made this guy so angry, he must have refused.

There must be a reason why Roton did this.

Adley felt a little more at ease.

If there wasn't Rodon behind him, he would probably have been scared to his knees.

He Yemu didn't say much and soon left the Magic Film and Television Company.

He knew very well that nothing would come of it if he stayed here any longer.

This guy Yardley obviously listens to Roton.

When I made the call just now, Luoton's meaning was very clear.

That means they cannot get the spots for the male and female lead.

This matter was beyond his ability to handle, so he had to go back and report to his boss.

The boss has to make the decision.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Rotun would be so disrespectful.

After all, ever since he became the boss's secretary, everything he did and discussed went very smoothly.

Today was the first time I suffered a setback.

I hope the boss doesn't think that he is doing a bad job.

As soon as Heyemu left, Yadley hurriedly called Luoton on the landline.

"Don't worry. The Tata Group is such a big company, why would its chairman cause trouble for you?" Luo Dun said with a smile, "Just focus on preparing the film. If anything comes up, I'll take care of it."

After hanging up the phone, Luoton sighed secretly in his heart.

The great reputation of the Tata Group.

But Cyrus is just a chairman, he is not from the Tata family.

The power of the Tata Group lies in the hands of the Tata family.

For example, two years later, Cyrus was removed from the position of chairman by the Tata Group's board of directors.

Therefore, Cyrus cannot be equated with the Tata Group.

This made Roton care less about this guy.

Another thing is that Roton is now confident in his power.

If Cyrus really wants to cause trouble for me, I'm not a pushover.

"You can't be careless." Lisa said.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on that." Roden smiled, "You just need to think about how to play these roles well."

As he spoke, Roton exerted force with his waist, and Itas on top of him screamed.

Itas's whole body began to tremble violently. It was no longer her who was moving, but Rodon who was attacking violently at a very fast frequency.

After just a dozen seconds, Itas's eyes rolled up and her body went limp.

Masoya hurriedly supported Itas.

Roton's ferocity just now made her feel a little nervous, and this time he sent Itas to the peak.

"Lisa!" Rawdon called out.

Lisa certainly knew what to do and quickly took Itas's place.

Heyemu soon arrived at Cyrus's mansion.

He didn't dare to inform them of this matter over the phone, so he could only come in person to report the results.

Cyrus was sitting on the sofa with a beautiful woman in her early twenties next to him.

This is the woman who wants to be the heroine. Under her pillow talk, Cyrus agreed to help her brother get the male lead as well.

To Cyrus, this kind of thing just required a simple greeting.

However, he knew that Magic Film and Television Company had connections with Roton, so he asked his secretary to go there in person.

In his opinion, this was already a great honor.

But I didn't expect the secretary to bring me such a result.

Luoton didn't give any face and didn't agree.

You have to go through an evaluation before you can become a candidate, which is a disguised rejection of yourself.

"How about you go and talk to him in person?" The woman came closer, looking a little anxious.

She is very much looking forward to this film.

As long as she can become the female lead and her brother can be the male lead, once the film is released, the value and status of both of them will increase significantly.

Such benefits are too tempting.

Relying on Cyrus' identity, she dared to covet these roles.

In her opinion, as long as Cyrus came forward, there would be no problem.

Unexpectedly, they didn’t agree.

So she thought that if Cyrus personally took action, Rotten would not dare to refuse.

"Shut up!" Cyrus yelled.

The woman's face changed and she dared not say a word.

She could tell that Cyrus was really angry this time.

Normally, she can act coquettishly and make some noise.

Don't do such stupid things when Cyrus is angry.

There was no way Cyrus would personally come forward to discuss such a matter with Rawdon.

If Rotun dares to refuse, then even if I go there, there will probably be no result.

After all, sending your secretary over actually represents your attitude.

He believed that there was no way that Rawdon didn't understand the meaning.

But Luo Dun still refused.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There was no way he would ask Rawdon for anything for such a small matter.

"This matter ends here." Cyrus said in a deep voice.

This made the woman pale.

She wanted to speak out, but she didn't dare.

"Don't worry, I will find someone to arrange some good films for you. The investment amount will definitely be sufficient, and you will be able to make a hit film by then." Cyrus noticed the woman's expression and softened his tone.

He still doted on this woman.

Whether in bed or in other aspects, it can bring him a very good experience, allowing him to feel happy and relaxed physically and mentally after get off work.

Therefore, he was willing to support some of the woman's requests.

Isn’t it just about money? You can definitely make a blockbuster movie by spending your own money, right?

"Honey, you are so nice." The woman immediately said in a sweet voice.

She knew that the movie from Magic Pictures was unlikely, so it was good that Cyrus was giving her this compensation.

As long as she can please Cyrus, she believes her future will not be bad.

"Go back to the house first." Cyrus said to the woman.

The woman did not dare to hesitate, for she knew Cyrus had something to say to the secretary, which would not be pleasant for her.

"Boss, are we really just going to let this matter go?" He Yemu asked.

"What else do you want?" Cyrus looked at him and said.

He Yemu sighed secretly in his heart.

Although this matter made him very unhappy, he also knew that it was wise for his boss to handle it this way.

If he really wanted to go find Rotun again, given Rotun's temper just now, he would definitely refuse, and the boss would be even more embarrassed if he went there.

Because now I am the only one who was rejected, so it doesn’t matter that I am embarrassed.

But if the boss were to go there, and if the boss was embarrassed, the temperament would be different.

"But I have made note of this matter." Cyrus said coldly, "That kid is too arrogant. If I get the chance, I will let him know the consequences of offending me."

"That's right. Everyone praises him too much. Aren't they afraid that he might fall to his death?" He Yemu said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that kid Rotten for now. How do the old guys in the company react to the sale of the steel plant?" Cyrus asked.

"Boss, there is a lot of opposition." The secretary said, "After all, this was acquired by the former chairman. It was a great honor back then. If you sell it after only a few years, you will offend the former chairman. I think we need to be cautious about this matter."

The former chairman was Ratan Tata. When he was in office a few years ago, he acquired the England-based Corus Steel Group and the England-based high-end car brands Land Rover and Jaguar from the Ford Group.

These overseas acquisitions have enabled Tata to become a global multinational conglomerate, surpassing British aerospace company to become the largest employer in the UK.

It is precisely because of this that Tata Motors and Tata Steel were both listed among the Fortune Global 500 companies.

These acquisitions created a storm in India and filled the people with pride.

Ratan Tata's acquisition is equivalent to a former colonial country turning the tables and acquiring the top assets of the colonial country.

In the eyes of the people, such behavior makes them national heroes and the pride of India.

This brought Ratan's popularity to its peak.

Now that Cyrus is preparing to sell the Corus Steel Group, there will certainly be a lot of resistance to this.

Not to mention that many people within Tata disagree, if this were made public, the public would probably not agree either.

After all, this is an acquisition that India is proud of.

Once sold, it will be a huge blow to everyone's self-esteem.

"Corus Steel Group has suffered huge losses in recent years. I don't know how much more money will be invested if we keep it in our hands. It's simply a bottomless pit." Cyrus said in a deep voice, "It's better to deal with such negative assets as soon as possible. Can reputation be used to make a living?"

In recent years, the steel industry has been in recession, and Corus Steel Group has also been greatly affected and has been suffering huge losses.

Since Cyrus took over as chairman of the Tata Group, the young and energetic man must want to make a difference.

The Tata Group is a century-old group. To put it nicely, it has a long history and profound heritage.

But from another perspective, the company is bloated and poorly managed.

When Ratan Tata took over as chairman, the Tata Group actually also encountered these problems. He carried out reforms and achieved good results.

However, this reform cannot completely change the situation and can only delay it.

Things were pretty good in the early days of Ratan's tenure.

But in the later period, the Tata Group developed towards its previous situation, and inertia is difficult to change.

In Sellers' view, Ratan's aggressive expansion in the last few years of his tenure left the group with many legacy problems.

Now he has to face a very bad situation as soon as he takes office.

Perhaps to outsiders, the Tata Group is still a behemoth, but only he, as an insider, can see more clearly that, in fact, the Tata Group is riddled with internal contradictions, huge problems and extremely high debts.

Tata Group's two largest companies, high-end car maker Jaguar Land Rover and IT services company Tata Consultancy Services, generate enough profits and dividends to keep the group afloat.

But the group only has these two items that are profitable and dazzling.

The others have at least five businesses: Tata Steel, Tata cars and trucks in India, power generation, an upscale hotel group and a smaller mobile phone company.

These either lose money or occupy a large amount of the group's funds without obtaining a good return.

Industries like steel and automobiles are asset-intensive industries that require huge investments.

The utilization rate of these funds is worrying.

For example, the Kanglisi Steel Group suffered heavy losses, which was simply adding insult to injury.

When Ratan acquired the Corus Steel Group, it was a shining diamond, but now it is different. It has become a worthless stone that is even losing money.

After Cyrus became the chairman of Tata Group, he was actually subject to a lot of doubts.

Many people think he is too young to play this position.

So Cyrus urgently needs to prove himself.

That is to reform the group, adjust some of the management levels within the group, and redistribute power.

These loss-making companies and industries must be eliminated and sold if possible.

Even if it was a project like the Corus Steel Group, which was the former chairman's brilliant political achievement, he did not hesitate.

However, considering the huge impact of this matter, he decided to spread the news first to see everyone's reaction.

Now it is just as I expected, there is a lot of resistance.

"Boss, do you need to discuss this with the former chairman?" asked the secretary.

"Do you think he will agree?" Cyrus asked, staring at the secretary.

The secretary was silent. Ratan would definitely not agree.

After all, this is one of Ratan’s most dazzling acquisitions.

"No one can stop this. You continue to pay attention to the movements of those guys and also follow up on the preparations for the sale." Cyrus added.
