Toni Erdmann Page #3

I put out my feelers.

I think he's become more

cautious of outsourcing...

or that he has new opponents...

That topic definitely caused tension.

- So I...

- OK, that comes as a surprise.

I reworked the presentation, and I

think we should definitely...

Use a softer touch?

Can I finish what I was saying?

I think we should go on the offensive.

He's hoping we'll decide for him,

that we'll emphatically order it.

I think he can't be an active proponent.

So I'd like to present three options.

A full outsourcing in all assets,

essentially a radical cut.

Then the middle option which, in contrast,

looks realistic and almost harmless.

And a minimal solution in just one pilot

asset that changes practically nothing.

it's difficult to change the strategy

so close to a meeting.

It's not good.

- Where did you eat?

- Da Vinci.

- I'm not convinced.

- Argument number two is Illiescu.

We have to say he's blocking us.

All the figures from Buzau are flawed.

For a clear business case,

we'd need more from Illiescu.

- Every other table is incomplete.

- Ines...

I'm not criticizing you, Tim.

But we can't make a clear statement anyway,

so that's why we need three options.

Illiescu isn't an issue for

the steering committee.

We'll put this in a comfort zone.

The three options...

- Are OK if you really feel confident....

- Absolutely.

The final point is Dascalu.

Things are still difficult with him.

He'll definitely be our opponent.

Is that little Anca going to be there?

Yes, she'll be clicking the

PowerPoint, Gerald.

You want me to be there?

It's better if I do it alone.

Let's talk about it in a minute...

I wanted to ask, are you

pleased with my work in general?

Absolutely.

Yes, absolutely.

I think you've really improved.

Thank you.

I just think you should try

to speak more German.

I know, but it's not

enough for everyday use.

Anca! The hair.

200 employees?

What do you think?

It's a lot...

Thank you.

So?

I don't like that you don't stick to the plan.

The Illiescu thing wasn't

exactly elegant.

The next steps are clear.

But please inform me if there

are any more problems.

Ok, I will.

But otherwise...

well done.

- Thanks.

- You're an animal, Ines.

- Can I pull up the screen?

- Pull up? Yes.

It's me, I wanted to know...

...if you arrived well.

Hope you had a nice trip.

I think you kept my keys,

it's not important.

See you. Bye.

The team meets at 1 pm.

I call you after.

That's it. Super.

See you later. Goodbye.

- Did it go well?

- Very well.

Come on, don't be offended.

- Be happy you weren't there.

- I'm not offended.

To quote Gerald:

It's all included in your price.

Gerald's prices are different than mine.

What are you doing tonight?

I'm meeting Steph de Boer and Tatjana.

Women's group?

What are the themes?

Gender quotas, sexual harassment

at work, things like that.

- Business varnish?

- Yes.

Chic.

Heart failure.

It was very nice to meet you.

The speaking went well.

It doesn't need any more work.

I made good use of the space, I spent time

in the room beforehand, too.

And the breathing?

The breathing?

- Did you apply the technique?

- I didn't need it this time.

It went well, but...

I would like to do some work

on my body language.

Sometimes I lose control of it...

Do you have an example?

It tends to be when I'm listening.

I suspect you're really listening

in those moments.

Yes, right.

That's noble, of course, but maybe you

need to focus more on your own message.

Ah yes, I see.

- Can I grab you for a second?

- Sure.

I have the feeling the team isn't so

tight anymore. Tim thought the same.

Think of the team spirit...

We must prevent a gulf opening up

between the Romanians and us.

They've lost their morale,

somehow.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

That corresponds with

my impression.

I'm holding a brunch for my birthday,

anyway, so I'll invite everyone.

Very nice, something personal.

Good.

We'll work with the numbers we have

and won't make a fuss about them.

Your idea of building up pressure through

Dascalu backfired.

Him and Illiescu won't be

discussing our project.

Ok. Why not?

Dascalu trusts Illiescu and

sees no need to act.

Mama, I'm working.

Henneberg wants to keep Dascalu out of it

so he can negotiate with the unions.

It's what I do.

So how can I continue my work?

The transport data is all wrong.

Many more people work there.

You can't cut enough staff here.

The good news is: Henneberg wants

you to do the radical cut.

Yes, I eat fruit.

But that was totally unfounded.

Surely you realized it was all on

the verge of speculation.

Above all, to sell such a big restructuring

I really need precise figures.

This will annoy the feminist in you.

To quote Henneberg: Ms. Conradi has enough

charm to manage Illiescu by herself.

If I was a feminist, I wouldn't tolerate

guys like you, Gerald.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Henneberg wants to keep you here.

He really believes in you.

- what did you say to him?

- That I'd talk to you.

But that I think you'll finish

the project.

- And our deal?

- I know, of course.

But we're talking one year max.

Then you can start at a whole new level.

I've heard that a few times before.

I can manage Bucharest

just as well from Shanghai.

That's not realistic.

This is your partner case.

Did he just fart?

Think it over.

Then you can choose where

you want to go.

But for now we finish this.

Can we continue this conversation

somewhere else?

- I need your decision.

- I know.

I'll think about it. Now

I'd just like a coffee.

I was just wondering where we met?

Excuse me?

What are you doing here?

I work here. We're about to

have a meeting.

I have to go inside, too. I'll have a

supervision with Mr. Henneberg.

I hope he's a bit less

stubborn today.

Marburger. Also from Morrisons.

Erdmann.

Do you use hand lotion?

Then it's probably me.

Mr. Erdmann is...

a freelance coach.

So I'll be in touch with you again

later, about the workshop.

A workshop for us?

Yes, it's being considered.

We'll see. If you willing?

Sorry?

Are you willing?

Oh, drop it.

Well. Goodbye.

Excuse-me, on my way.

Listen, are you insane?

Are you trying to ruin me

or what?

Dad, I'm talking to you.

Well, if this is about your father,

I'm not the right man.

But if you want to work on

your charisma...

or if you notice you're talking to

no-one on the phone,

you're welcome to contact

me at any time.

Oh, there's my man.

Oh, not electric?

Super. I'm envious.

Will he make two?

I can work on that. No problem.

But a two-masted boat is

a lot of work.

Crew of five.

You can forget Daniel. He

has to mix the cocktails.

Send me some pictures.

Super.

I'll call you back.

Ok, bye.

Such a stupid sailing trip. They want

to take a two-masted boat.

What's the point?

- So the maid hasn't come yet?

- No.

Only Bogdan.

Wow.

Gerald found out about us.

So what?

He told me not to f*** you too much

so you don't lose your bite.
