What surprised Odoheim was not the huge $569 million compensation Steve Koch proposed to him, but how the most famous lothario in the Koch family touched his head.
The W company executive on the other end of the phone naturally knew what kind of character his boss was, and quickly explained: "Sir, you should still remember the US Airways flight 1493 that happened in February this year, right?"
How could he not have an impression? Just now, Zhuang Jianye had taught him a lesson at the press conference, so he hummed and asked impatiently: "What does this have to do with Steve Koch?" relation?"
¡°At that time, Steve Koch was on flight 1493 to San Francisco, but something happened and he almost died.¡±
Hearing this, Odoheim frowned: "What does it have to do with me whether he dies or not?"
¡°Steve Koch believes that the air crash was caused by our W Company¡¯s inferior aeronautical materials, so he wants to demand compensation from our W Company at all costs!¡± W Company¡¯s executives continued to explain.
At this moment, Odoham finally realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked: "How did Steve Koch know about it? I have just learned about such rumors here. Is Steve Koch also in the UK?" Farnborough?¡±
After hearing this, the high-end W company on the other end of the phone sounded obviously bitter: "It's CNN, sir. CNN's news station broadcast the entire flight power suit and the subsequent press conference live, so it's not just Sri Lanka." Steve Koch, all of America knows it.¡±
"What?"
Holding the phone, Odoham's heart trembled. CNN is an American television media that has rapidly emerged with its 24-hour live broadcast of the entire Gulf War this year.
This started the era of live television.
At that time, Odoham was not yet amazed by the immersive battlefield situation, but as the war ended, he forgot about it, and his thinking quickly returned to the previous empiricism, thinking that no matter how fast the media was, The newspaper will be published tomorrow, otherwise what is the use of having so many editors?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? together off the media?
No idea, he was still thinking about how to intercept press releases from the media. CNN spread Zhuang Jianye¡¯s press conference around the world through live broadcast.
So much so that he didn¡¯t even have a chance to give him a deadline.
For a moment, Odoheim almost went crazy. CNN, why are you so cheating?
"Fake! cnn!"
With a thousand words, Odoheim could only turn into a curse word, then hung up the phone and threw it aside. As a result, before he could catch his breath, the phone rang again. Odoheim answered impatiently. Get up: "A guy who is so nervous because of rumors, just ask him to file a lawsuit. Let me see what he can get."
"Mr. Oldham, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
The person who answered Odoheim was not the executive of Company W just now, but a steady bass voice. Odoheim was stunned for a moment, and then showed a gentle smile: "It turns out to be Lawyer Grint. I'm fine. Why?" Call me when you have time?"
Lawyer Grint is a highly paid legal consultant hired by Odoheim, who is responsible for W Company and his personal legal consulting work. However, compared to normal company employees, Grint has a similar cooperative relationship with W Company, so Odoheim wants Much more polite than before.
Grint didn't waste any time and said directly: "As long as you're fine, I have something to do with Company W. Just now a friend of mine revealed to me that the W Company disintegrated over Thailand in May this year. The attorney for the family members of the 223 passengers on the Boeing 767 passenger plane is preparing to file a lawsuit in the Federal Fifth Circuit Court, asking Company W to compensate US$3 billion on the grounds that Company W provided inferior materials to aviation manufacturing companies, causing the passenger plane to crash"
"It's a bunch of nonsense, it's a bunch of nonsense!" Before Grint finished speaking, Odoheim yelled into the phone like a cat that stepped on its tail: "What they saw on CNN are all lies and lies. Lies, anyone with some common sense in aviation manufacturing knows how strict the testing of aviation materials, especially high-end aviation materials, is before they enter the factory. Even if I lie, I can't escape the layers of testing and process sampling. These are the most basic. Common sense, don¡¯t the families of the victims not understand it?¡±
"Yes, they don't understand!" Odoheim said a lot, but what was waiting for him was Grint's cold and ruthless reply: "They only care about how much compensation they can get. Naturally, the aircraft manufacturer does not It will devalue its own products; it is impossible for airlines to take responsibility on themselves, so your W company is the best target. People don¡¯t care about this. As long as they can get compensation, they don¡¯t care about the process at all, so my Build"The goal is to try to settle out of court and preserve the company's reputation. If necessary, you can apply for bankruptcy protection of the company, thereby retaining most of the company's assets before the lawsuit is determined"
"It's impossible absolutely impossible it's not my problem. Why should I take responsibility and ask for bankruptcy protection of the company? No and never!"
Before Grint could finish his words, Odoheim roared again. Grint sighed: "Due to your situation, Mr. Odoheim, we can talk about it after you calm down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Grint hung up the phone.
And the moment Odohem hung up the phone, he threw his eldest brother to the car floor under his feet, and he was so angry that he was about to explode.
However, by the evening, Odoheim, who was so angry that he received a class action lawsuit from Boeing and McDonnell Douglas' huge legal team, had no energy at all.
Three days later, after receiving requests from his father to withdraw capital and avoid suspicion from investors such as Japan's Toray and the United States' Dupont, Odohem, who used to be arrogant, looked like a homeless man who was twenty years older and could only hold a bottle of wine. Only by pouring it into your mouth can you enjoy a moment of joy in the moment of alcohol anesthesia.
That is to say, Odoheim didn¡¯t know the allusion about the wall being pushed down by everyone and the drum being beaten by thousands of people, otherwise he would have a profound understanding of the connotation of these two sentences.
Everything happened too fast. In just three days, Odohem and his W company became the target of public criticism. There were as many as ten civil lawsuits related to air crashes, and the compensation alone exceeded 20 billion US dollars. If you add in the lawsuits from airlines, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus, even selling slices of Odoheim won't be enough to compensate.
However, this is not the point. The key point is that Odoheim still can't figure it out. It is obviously a rumor and can be easily falsified. How can it become a real weapon to bring down W Company?
¡¡
Odohem didn¡¯t know, but Zhuang Jianye knew it very well. Facing Director Zhao¡¯s burning gaze of knowledge, Zhuang Jianye grinned: ¡°This trick can be summed up in one sentence.¡±
"What?"
Zhuang Jianye pinched an ok-shaped orchid finger with his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "Kill him or bury him!"
