Chapter 757 The capitalists don't have good intentions
Someone once said that the United States is a relatively closed society. You live your life behind closed doors, and usually no one cares about you.
Don't say how many women you find, even if you find a few wives, it's not a big deal. You're fine as long as you're not a fraud. Isn't there still a Mormon religion in Lao Mei, although the law prohibits it, people don't still have a few wives.
When Utah joined the United States, the laws of other states were OK, but this polygamy, Peanuton would not agree to it no matter what.
Nima, if this is really recognized, wouldn't the rich be crazy?
However, public figures can't do that. It doesn't matter if you spend all your time drinking and drinking, if you break some bottom line. Ahem, that's really troublesome.
MJ is still wronged, and now when people talk about MJ, they are separating this person from his songs.
Look, it's so pretentious.
"Boss, Mogridge wants to see you. ”
"Hehe, this guy, all right, Filson, you arrange it, do you know what's going on?"
"No, though, Cisco's outstanding shares are decreasing. If the estimate is good, either increase capital and shares, or ......"
"Haha, or I'll sell some shares. Well, just listen to what he has to say. ”
Filson's face is also not good-looking, and it is one thing for them to take the initiative to reduce their holdings here. It's another thing for your management to have other ideas.
Mogridge is no simple character, and the founders of Cisco were kicked out by him. Could it be that this is an MBO?
If he really had such a plan, he would have thought too much. William White, the majority shareholder, directly and indirectly controls 30% of the shares, which is not a small amount.
Of course, this ratio is not unassailable. If there really is any strong person who shows up, he can still make a move.
But the problem is, for a smaller company. Is it necessary to tear the face with William White. Cisco is going to be a great 13, the question is, how do you know for sure.
"Mr. Richie, are you coming alone? I thought Don Valentine would be coming, too. ”
Seeing William White go straight to the point, Mogridge was only slightly stunned. It was not difficult for William White to guess his purpose, but it was a bit counterintuitive to ask directly.
"Ahem, Mr. White, you know, the company has been going very well lately, and I don't want any twists and turns. ”
"There will be no twists and turns, I control roughly 30% of the shares, which is more than Sequoia Capital. If necessary, it can be directly privatized and delisted. By the way, you go back and tell Don that I'll buy all of his shares at a 50% premium. How much does he have now, 15 percent or 20 percent? Whatever it takes, I'll take it all. ”
Usually, William White is a good talker. However, it depends on the occasion, not someone from his company, of course he doesn't need to give face.
Mogridge couldn't calm down now, and it seemed that their previous estimate was problematic. William White's stake is not 25%.
There is something that William White doesn't understand about this set of things that venture capital plays. When you drove away the founders, he was very upset, and because he didn't want to interfere too much, he chose to shut up.
Well, now, someone is actually planning to go one step closer.
"Mr. White, Mr. Valentine is just trying to bring in third-party investors. Ahem, I don't want that to change. ”
"The old guy is crazy? ”
"There are many companies that are interested, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Da Mo. ”
"Hahaha, don't be so troublesome, let's privatize and delist first. Mr. Richie, let me make sure, will you stay and help me?"
"I'm sure?"
"Okay, Filson, make a tender offer and apply for a temporary suspension. ”
"Okay, boss. ”
Filson is actually very confused now, he is a little unsure, the boss didn't plan to do so yesterday, this is what happened.
Of course there is, a bunch of fools 13 are just careless. He, William White, when does it take time to give Citi face. Since Valentin doesn't plan to be the chairman anymore, you get the fuck off for me.
After Mogridge left, Filson came back to his senses from his trance.
"Boss, what's going on?"
"Last night I was seen talking secretly with Citi executives. When the two old fellows were happy, they apparently forgot that the partition wall had ears. Since Sequoia is going to play, I'm going to accompany it.
To check, there are projects they are involved in, I need a breakdown. ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away. ?”
"That's right, sell off the rest of London's gold. ”
Well, Filson couldn't be persuaded. William White and Citi had a holiday, and this time, I'm afraid it didn't end so easily.
"Isn't it, Andy, what's the news coming from?"
"Boss, the White Fund has raised its cards and asked for an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. ”
"Tsk, Sequoia is crazy, what qualifications does it have to argue with William White, who is behind it?"
"Boss, it should be Citi. However, Sequoia Capital is in trouble this time, and William White is clearing. Cisco is not the only company, this is a complete tear in the face. ”
", give me a call from Goldman Sachs. ”
Such a lively thing, Wall Street has not appeared for a long time, and the old guy of Da Mo is of course excited. Stave of financial markets, where there are now interesting.
As for which of you will be unlucky, he doesn't care. Hehe, in this world, if you have money to make, you are an uncle. As for the rest, it doesn't matter at all.
"The gold market fluctuates sharply? Boeing Citi suffers from shorting?" Soros, who was confused, looked confused, and the news reported by his subordinates now really shocked him inexplicably.
Nima, is this a place where war is fought?
"Yes, boss, now the news is flying all over the place, and I don't know what's going on. ”
"Then say it one by one and see what the connection is. ”
The entire Wall Street breakout was boiling, and looking at the stocks that were flying up and down, a group of stockbrokers were simply crazy.
Unknown and uncertain are the biggest nightmare of the market. Relatively speaking, the information disclosure of the United States is quite regular.
Ahem, because it used to be too pitiful. If you don't change it, I'm afraid there will be no fools to buy stocks.
Well, without any news, suddenly come like this.
Investors don't have a good choice, and if there is no paper loss, it is the wisest choice to leave the market temporarily. We all know that it's not good to chase up and down, but isn't stock speculation just chasing up and down?
If you were all Warren Buffett, the NYSE wouldn't have that much trading volume at all.
"Bastard, don't hurry up and buy it back yet. ”
"Boss, 300 million US dollars have been repurchased, and the sell-off is still very large. The increase in the early stage was a bit large, and at this time it encountered a huge amount of money shorting......"
The boss of Citi was very angry, he had just gotten off the plane, and he was actually hit in the face. When the reason for this product is finally figured out, the other party has already begun to clean up the battlefield.
"Charlie, what do you think?" short-term fluctuations, the least concerned is Buffett. Of course, he also needs to know the specific reason.
"Warren, very much in line with William White's usual style. However, this time it didn't end so quickly. ”
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"There's no reason to sell gold now. William White has been a little nervous lately, but there's no need to make a move. ”
"Hahaha, is this raising funds? Alas, it's such a toss all day long, I think, Citi, the CEO, don't do it. Since you know that the other party has a violent temper, you have been looking for trouble several times. ”
