Chapter 137 Conditions of Settlement
"Councilor Chen, please take a seat."
Liu Zhilin motioned Chen She to sit down in the seat opposite.
There were only Liu Zhilin and Chen She in this small conference room, but Chen She knew that this was also where the chief councilors held special meetings.
Perhaps Liu Zhilin had just finished a special meeting with other chief councilors before meeting Chen She.
Although Chen She also cared about what kind of resolution was passed at the meeting, he was also very clear that with his current identity and status, it was impossible for him to attend this special meeting.
However, Chen She could also learn some information through Liu Zhilin.
Liu Zhilin looked a little haggard. It was obvious that recent events had made him a little overwhelmed and difficult to deal with.
However, Chen She still pretended to know nothing and acted indignant, as if he was really angry about the incomprehensible injustice suffered by Lishan Technology.
"Boss Liu, what on earth is going on? We at Lishan Technology must give an explanation!"
"The Icefield Defense Group took advantage of the special period of time and space activities to launch a sneak attack on us. If we hadn't defended it by chance, I might not be able to stand here today to seek justice!"
"On behalf of Lishan Technology, I strongly protest against this serious violation of the Special Law on Enterprises!"
Chen She was a little excited. He even stood up from his seat and waved his hands vigorously. His voice naturally rose several octaves, completely different from his usual calm appearance. It seemed as if he was overwhelmed by anger.
Liu Zhilin stood up quickly and said, "Mr. Chen, please be patient. Please be patient. I will explain this matter to you slowly."
Chen She then sat down reluctantly: "Okay, then I'll listen to Mr. Liu's explanation."
Liu Zhilin sighed softly.
It's really like a rainy day, everything has happened at the same time!
Liu Zhilin already knew about the Icefield Defense Group. Tours did not hide too much from Liu Zhilin, but told him the whole story in private.
The reason is very simple. Tours doesn't have any better solution now and can only hope that Liu Zhilin, the winner, can reach a settlement with Lishan Technology!
According to Tours' original idea, as long as he completely disappeared from the entire Lushan Technology's field base during the time-space activity, the time snow would naturally hide most of the clues.
Even if there are some clues, who would go to the death with the Icefield Defense Group and the Long Night Entertainment Group for a small consortium with no background and that has completely disappeared?
But no one expected that the defense of the Lishan Technology Field Base was so powerful that the team from the Icefield Defense Group not only failed to complete the mission, but also encountered a large-scale tide of space-time beasts and could not escape safely!
Therefore, Tours, who suffered a setback in the battle with the Knights of Time and Space, not only needs to take the responsibility for the defeat on the front battlefield, but also has to properly handle the problems of Lishan Technology.
Because he knew very well that once communications were restored, Lishan Technology would definitely make a big fuss based on the "Special Law on Enterprises".
If things get out of hand, the situation will become difficult to handle.
Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to eliminate Lishan Technology at once. After all, as long as the communication in the hash space is basically normal, once the war breaks out again, all kinds of video data will be transmitted to the Internet in an instant, and the Icefield Defense Group will no longer be able to cover up the matter.
And now, Lishan Technology must have a lot of key evidence in its hands, so a hard approach will definitely not work.
The Icefield Defense Group had no choice but to give in and admit defeat, with Liu Zhilin as the middleman, hoping to reach a private settlement with Lishan Technology.
Although this would certainly incur heavy losses, it would be much better than being punished by the Silver Star Federation for serious violations of the "Enterprise Special Law".
Since Liu Zhilin is asked to mediate, Turles must tell the whole story. Otherwise, if Liu Zhilin finds out during the mediation process that Turles has concealed information from him, things may become even more out of control.
This was obviously not the first time Liu Zhilin had done something like this. He put on a sympathetic expression and said, "Mr. Chen, I know everything about what happened to Lishan Technology."
"I deeply sympathize with what happened to Lishan Technology! However... I must also point out that this is actually the true relationship between the consortiums. This kind of thing has happened before, has happened in the past, and will happen again in the future."
"But don't worry, I will not favor any party when I come to mediate this time. I will definitely strive for the maximum compensation for your Lishan Technology!"
An expression of confusion and shock appeared on Chen She's face , as if he had never expected Liu Zhilin to say this.
"Boss Liu... How can this be possible?"
"The Silver Star Federation has a clear stipulation in the Special Enterprise Law. All financial groups must be subject to it, even large financial groups are no exception. Behaviors like the Icefield Defense Group must be severely punished!"
"What's more, Mr. Liu, you came to mediate privately, which is strictly speaking against the regulations!"
"Icefield Defense Group almost wiped out our entire company. Even I almost died in the wilderness. They can fight whenever they want and reconcile whenever they want? There is no such good thing in the world!"
"No, I absolutely cannot compromise on this!"
"I don't represent myself, I represent all the employees of Lishan Technology. If I compromise, how will my employees see me? Should I continue to work as the president?"
Chen She became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even stood up involuntarily. His face flushed slightly, and he waved his arms very reluctantly.
Liu Zhilin quickly stood up again: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, please be patient!"
"I understand your situation. Please listen to my explanation."
Seeing Chen She's expression, Liu Zhilin also felt a little annoyed.
He is indeed a new entrepreneur who started from scratch and he really knows nothing!
In fact, if the second generation of some large conglomerates are starting a business, they will probably be much calmer when encountering such a situation. Why? Because these second generations are used to it!
There are too many secret frictions between the big conglomerates, and too many shady means, but basically they don't make a big fuss because each side knows very well where the bottom line of the struggle is. As long as the submissive party gives up enough benefits, both sides will naturally work together tacitly to gain benefits within a specific boundary and will not make things too ugly.
But meeting someone like Chen She would be a bit troublesome.
He obviously doesn't understand anything!
The Chen Group was a small group before and had never experienced such a cruel situation. It also wishfully believed that the "Enterprise Special Law" would be strictly implemented in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Therefore, Liu Zhilin guessed that Chen She's emotions must be extremely unstable at this time. He felt that he was being deceived by the Icefield Defense Group, so he was so persistent.
But the key point is that Liu Zhilin doesn't have any better solution. If this matter continues and gets out of control, it will not be a good thing for him, Lishan Technology or Icefield Defense Group!
Because if Lishan Technology really makes a big fuss about this matter, then Icefield Defense Group will indeed be severely punished, such as sky-high fines and forced splitting of some businesses, etc. But even so, Icefield Defense Group, as the largest consortium in the entire Old Land, will not be seriously hurt.
If Lishan Technology really breaks up with Icefield Defense Group, will there be any good in the future?
What's more, although the "Special Enterprise Law" will punish these large conglomerates, whether it is sky-high fines or forced splitting of some businesses, it is beneficial to the Silver Star Federation.
The Silver Star Federation will take this opportunity to make a fortune from the Icefield Defense Group, but it is not certain that much of these profits will fall into the hands of Lishan Technology.
Although the market share will be affected to a certain extent after some of Icefield Defense Group's businesses are split, it will definitely be other large conglomerates that will be able to seize these shares, and Lishan Technology will not be able to gain any advantage.
Therefore, Liu Zhilin came to mediate, on the one hand, because of the favor from the Icefield Defense Group, and on the other hand, he also believed that private settlement was the best solution.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhilin began to persuade Chen She with reason and emotion, and explained the interests involved in detail.
"Mr. Chen, this is basically the situation. I have absolutely no intention of protecting or favoring the Icefield Defense Group. I just think that both of you can achieve the desired results through private settlement."
"Mr. Chen, let me make a statement. As long as you agree to a settlement and don't expose this matter , I will definitely find a way to get the most benefits for Lishan Technology!"
After listening to Liu Zhilin's earnest words, Chen She's expression improved slightly.
However, he still had a skeptical expression at this time, and was obviously still a little unsure about Liu Zhilin's guarantee.
It seems that on the one hand, he believed what Liu Zhilin said, but on the other hand, he was a little worried and didn't know how much benefit he could get.
Seeing Chen She's expression, Liu Zhilin felt much more relieved.
Fortunately, Mr. Chen is not a fool, he is still sensible!
This is also consistent with what Liu Zhilin has always believed about Chen She's personality. After all, Lishan Technology had had several frictions with Fujitang Group before, and Mr. Chen compromised every time, but it was not as big a deal as this time.
It seems that as long as the benefits are great enough, everything can be negotiated.
Liu Zhilin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Mr. Chen, how about this? Simply state Lishan Technology's demands. Whether it is material compensation or spiritual compensation, you can speak freely. I will definitely find a way to help you do it!"
"The Icefield Defense Group was at fault in this matter. We hold the initiative."
Chen She looked embarrassed: "This... I haven't really thought about it. I just wanted to expose this matter and let the Icefield Defense Group receive the due punishment according to the provisions of the "Enterprise Special Law"..."
Liu Zhilin couldn't help but panic. Why was he still thinking about the "Enterprise Special Law"? That definitely wouldn't work!
He quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Chen, how do you think about this?"
"First of all, we have to pay for the compensation. During the entire time and space event, all the damage to the Lishan Technology Field Base will be repaired at the expense of the Icefield Defense Group."
"During the entire time and space activity, the Icefield Defense Group will provide compensation for the casualties caused by Lishan Technology, according to the compensation standards of the Icefield Defense Group's corporate army."
"And on top of these amounts, they will have to pay double the amount for mental damages."
"In addition, Icefield Defense Group can provide Lishan Technology with top-level security services for three years. Of course, you can also choose to directly obtain some support for weapons and equipment and obtain a batch of new weapons from Icefield Defense Group."
"Of course, we can still discuss the specific amount. The Icefield Defense Group is very rich, so we can negotiate more on the compensation."
Hearing this, Chen She couldn't help but ponder.
"this……"
Seeing Chen She in hesitation, Liu Zhilin couldn't help but smile slightly. As expected, Mr. Chen was so indignant before and said so much, but in the final analysis, it all came down to one sentence: he had to pay more!
Liu Zhilin knew very well that the conditions he offered were already quite good.
This time, the Lishan Technology Field Base was not only attacked by the Icefield Defense Group, but also by a tide of beasts. The base was damaged and there were many casualties.
According to the pension standards of the Icefield Defense Group's corporate army, this is a huge sum of money. After all, the treatment of the Icefield Defense Group's corporate army is the highest.
Moreover, during this process, it doesn’t matter if Lishan Technology makes some false reports, since it is all for the purpose of extorting money anyway.
This amount of money is equivalent to triple compensation, and the extra double amount is said to be mental damage compensation, which is actually hush money. For Lishan Technology, this must be a considerable amount of money.
In addition, give some extra gifts, such as a batch of the latest weapons, which are new models that are simply not available on the market. In this way, the sincerity will be enough.
Chen She seemed to be greatly tempted. He hesitated and asked, "After the Icefield Defense Group suffered heavy losses, they won't bear grudges, right? What if they try to trip us up again? Make us spit out everything we have eaten?"
Liu Zhilin hurriedly shook his head: "Mr. Chen, you can rest assured , it will never happen!"
"First of all, I am mediating on behalf of the Mellon Bank Group, so they will definitely give me face."
"Secondly, this matter was not a unanimous decision made by the top management of the Icefield Defense Group. It was only arranged by Tours privately. He did not dare to make a big deal out of it, otherwise he would not be able to bear the responsibility."
"Thirdly, Lishan Technology is developing better and better, and its influence is growing. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Icefield Defense Group to take action. Don't worry, Lishan Technology will become safer as time goes by."
"On the contrary, if you insist on reporting this to the higher-ups, then the Icefield Defense Group might take a risk!"
"If things really fall out, neither side will have a good outcome. Why bother?"
Chen She thought about it and nodded slightly: "That's right. Then let me make a few simple requests."
"The compensation and pension will be as you said, Mr. Liu, but I still need to go back and verify the specific values."
"As for security services... we don't need them at Lishan Technology. We just hope that Icefield Defense Group can give us one of each of the most advanced weapons and equipment."
"In addition, I also hope to obtain a seat as the chief councillor of the Dawn City Council and a license for cross-regional arms sales."
