Chapter 389: A Rare Genius in a Thousand Years
(Bow and thank you for the support of the three monthly passes of "You're a little dizzy!!)
The Kendini family is the second largest financial family in Brighton, and the core of the joint shareholding of several major families in the consortium of Brighton Bank, Kendini Investment Bank is the core business of the family, so it is naturally the most abundant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
You must know that even the Great Wood family of Itley is still able to stabilize the situation of the consortium after losing 80 billion US dollars, let alone Kendeni, a project investment failure of only 10 billion yuan is impossible to shake the foundation of the family, so the Addams family will organize people to demonstrate at the door of the Kendini Investment Bank building every day.
The purpose of this is very simple, that is, to obstruct the normal operation of the Kendini Investment Bank, after all, even the entry and exit of their own employees are worried about running into trouble, not to mention investors, many big investors will also come to negotiate, now seeing the daily demonstrations at the door, and even entering the building is in trouble, so it is easy to have a sense of "this company is very bad" and "this investment bank's investment will fail".
In this view, it is very difficult to attract investment, after all, no matter how rich and rich people are, they all hope that their investments can make money, not to do charity for investment banks; in addition, even those ordinary investors who do not come to the door, once they see negative news about Kendini Investment Bank every day on TV, I am afraid that as long as they hear the name, they will subconsciously refuse.
"While constantly concocting negative news, if you sell Kendini Investment Bank's shares at a certain time and create a wave of panic in the stock market, you will be even more uncomfortable, right?" Zhou Ming said.
Edward was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Zhou Ming, they have already done this thing, since last week, there have been people in the stock market who are selling the shares of Kendini Investment Bank, maybe the amount is not particularly large, but it has also brought the rhythm in the stock market, Kendini shares have fallen by more than seven percentage points last week, and the market value has shrunk by billions of dollars, and we have also thought about saving it, but there is no way to stop it." ”
"Of course, the stock market is a lot of inertia, and all you can do is to reduce your losses as much as possible, and it is difficult to stop it completely. ”
Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: "But I think the current situation is not bad, if at some point in the future, the Addams family will start to buy and hold your shares again, it will be even more troublesome." ”
As Edward, who was born in a financial family, he naturally understands the routines in the financial market, so when Zhou Ming said this, he immediately understood: "You mean they will want to buy Kendini Investment Bank?"
Zhou Ming said: "It should not be accurate to say that the acquisition, but it is certain that they want to indirectly restrain the behavior of the Kendini family through their control of the Kendini Investment Bank." At that time, he doesn't even need to own more than a third of the shares, as long as he can have 278 percent, and the rest can be controlled by other means. ”
Edward immediately gasped, because the situation that Zhou Ming said was too terrible, and it was undoubtedly the worst situation.
Saying that this is bad is not only the Adams family's trick to take advantage of your illness to kill you, and then hold the life of the Kendini family, but their method.
After all, if they want to buy more than a third of the shares directly, they don't have to worry, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a way to indirectly control the company through shares.
According to the rules of equity distribution, the passage of any corporate resolution must get more than 67% of the votes, and if anyone holds more than 34% of the shares, it is equivalent to having a veto power, which is the same as the future of ChinaAMC's 26% shareholding in the AIIB, but any proposal to pass must be approved by a majority of more than 75%.
He thinks that the right proposal may not pass, but the proposal he doesn't want will definitely not pass, and once that happens, isn't it tantamount to putting handcuffs and shackles on himself, especially when the key is still in the hands of another person?
As a financial family, Kendini will inevitably guard against this, but what if the other party only needs less than 30% of the shares and cannot veto it with one vote? In such a situation, the Kendini family, which is struggling in a difficult situation, may not accept it, and once it accepts, it is equivalent to entering another trap.
On the surface, you don't want a 34% stake, but the difference between a 30% or 28% stake and a 34% stake is not that big, at least among the shareholders of Kendini Investment Bank, it is much easier to get a 6% stake than 34%.
Therefore, this number is the biggest trap that makes people think they let their guard down and then fall headlong into the trap they have guarded against for a lifetime.
Edward broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this: "Damn, this is terrible! But Adams they wouldn't have done this, would they? After all, if they had come up with this solution, they would have done it a long time ago." ”
"I think it's better not to put your hopes in the stupidity of your opponent, I don't think an opponent who can do the kind of thing that he can't think of. Zhou Ming said indifferently, "Of course, if you have to think like this, Mr. Governor, I can't help it." ”
Edward lowered his head and said nothing, apparently Zhou Ming shattered his last illusion.
Then Zhou Ming said: "But there is another point, although I know that the Kendini Investment Bank is the core of your family, and defeating this investment bank can indeed give you a big blow, but I think that since they have done this, your family's other industries must also be in big trouble, right?"
Edward nodded and said: "That's right, the Kendini Investment Bank is the core of the family, but several other investment banks controlled by the family, as well as insurance companies, and even food companies, are also in trouble, but they want to eat the entire Kendini family's property in one go, even if they are the Addams family, even if they still have the Rockefeller family behind them, it's still impossible, right?"
"It's impossible to think about it, it's too expensive to be worth it. Zhou Ming said, "If it were me, it would be better to find a company that can be controlled to control it, and then control other industries through the assets of this company, so that through the financial leverage of asset transfer, the cost can be minimized." ”
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Edward suddenly realized: "I see, I know that the Massachusetts Insurance Company has recently been talking about the wholly-owned acquisition of the Xiada Trust, this is because the Xiada Trust is a loan guarantee company of other investment banks and insurance companies, and the Massachusetts Insurance Company is controlled by the Adams family!
"In fact, when the family's funds are in trouble, thinking about selling part of the assets to ensure the operation of the main industry, this strategy of losing the car to protect the commander is no problem, but the problem is whether the value of the car is worth it. Zhou Ming told Edward that the middle chess terminology was replaced by chess piece words so that Edward could understand it.
"The problem is that we have no way of knowing whether we lost a rook or a soldier who is about to become queen. Edward said.
Zhou Ming also agreed with Edward's statement: "Indeed, after all, the initiative is in the hands of the other party now, although I can guess some of their practices, but I can't guess all their practices, in case one step is missed, it will be a fatal blow to you." ”
Edward slammed his fist on the table, "That damn Austrian bitch!
Due to the different expressions in English, Zhou Ming noticed that Edward's sentence used 'she' instead of 'he', so Zhou Ming asked curiously: "Mr. Governor, do you say she? Is the head of the Addams family changed?"
Edward shook his head and told Zhou Ming: "It's not like that, their patriarch is still Christo, it's just that he ...... Or rather, under the control of his alliance, there is also a very powerful advisor, she is a woman who lives in Adams Manor, and this must be the help she provided to Christo!"
Edward said and took out a photo to Zhou Ming and said, "It's this girl, she's very young, her name is ......"
"Her name is Theresia Caitlin. ”
Zhou Ming took Edward's words and said, which shocked Edward at the time, he stared at Zhou Ming with a pair of eyes in disbelief: "How do you know?
"Because of a coincidence, I had a relationship with her. Zhou Ming then asked, "Why is she very powerful?"
"Very powerful!" Edward commented solemnly, "Mr. Zhou Ming, don't look at her so young, but she is known as a business genius that is rare in a thousand years, this is not a gimmick used by the media to sensationalize, but everyone who knows her will give her such an evaluation, including the patriarch of a super family like Rockefeller and Morgan." ”
Edward thought for a moment and said: "I think you must know about the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Mr. Zhou Ming, although the United States has thought about destroying its opponents at the economic level since President Rogan's Star Wars program, and it is best to plunder the wealth created by that superpower for more than half a century through financial means, and the birth of this idea was started by a conversation between President Logan and Caitlin. ”
Even the later Dota Project was related to her, and although there was a little accident in the final stage of the Dota Project, her mental wisdom was admired by everyone who knew her. Edward said with great emotion, "Maybe the Gulf War that broke out not long ago will also have something to do with her, she is simply a nightmare of this world, and it is also a nightmare of our Kendini family!"
"I didn't expect her to be so powerful. Zhou Ming asked Edward again, "Then since such a powerful person, shouldn't she be closely monitored and protected by the U.S. government? How could she become an advisor to the Addams family and give advice to the Addams family? I don't think that a figure who can destroy a superpower, Adams has enough bargaining chips to invite her." ”
Regarding this question, Edward sighed helplessly and said: "I have no way of knowing, maybe it is related to the outside world, or maybe it is related to a certain family dynasty or something, I don't know." ”
Zhou Ming patted Edward on the shoulder and encouraged him: "I think you can be more optimistic, Mr. Governor, although there is a Caitlin on the Adams family's side, am I not also in the Kendini Investment Bank Building now? I don't think I will bow my head to a little girl and admit defeat." ”
"Yes, that's why I personally went to Itley to ask Mr. Zhou Ming to come back, please!"
Edward said to Zhou Ming very solemnly, but Zhou Ming could see from his eyes that he was afraid that he didn't actually believe that he could win, but just went to the hospital in a hurry.
