Because of the leak that caused the stock price to soar, Li Mu stopped the plan to get Apple's management to sign today, and then put aside Tim Cook, who had talked for most of the time, Lin Qingya told Tim Cook that Li Mu now has to help Apple wipe their butts clean first, and then take the next step with them, otherwise, the acquisition will be terminated forever.

Li Mu's words Tim Cook does not doubt it at all, Apple up and down, and no one knows Li Mu's true intention to acquire Apple, and how much Li Mu values Apple, so in their opinion, Li Mu may completely give up the acquisition of Apple at any time after he has figured it out at once, and at that time, Apple is basically not far from bankruptcy.

And Li Mu said that he was wiping Apple's buttocks, and Tim Cook didn't dare to refute it in his heart, because he knew very well in his heart that the news leak must have come from within Apple, because the news spread widely within Apple, not only all the senior management, but even all the middle managers were also clear, and Makino Technology only knew about the company's plan to acquire Apple, and these core layers were extremely close to the company's interests, and they were all Chinese, and the possibility of revealing the news to Wall Street was almost zero.

Li Mu, who left everyone in Apple aside, immediately called all the members of the acquisition project team to continue the meeting, but the meeting had completely changed direction, from discussing how to complete Apple's privatization as soon as possible to how to deal with the huge fluctuations in Apple's stock price.

In the conference room, Li Mu first clarified his two requirements, he said: "Regarding the demon moth of Apple's stock price this time, we must first beat the stock price back below $4, and secondly, sharpen the knife and bleed these stock operators who want to make a fortune on their heads." ”

Louis Martin said: "Mr. Li, it's too simple to bring the stock price back below $4, as long as we show that we have no intention of buying Apple, the stock price will definitely collapse." ”

Li Mu nodded and said: "This is indeed the best way to lower the stock price, but one thing is very important, that is: we will not give up the acquisition of Apple! If we announce that we will give up the acquisition, and then wait for the stock price to crash and then suddenly announce the acquisition decision, it will inevitably have a significant impact on our corporate image." ”

Louis Martin said seriously: "Mr. Li, in the United States, it is too normal for such things to go back on their word, every entrepreneur likes to put smoke bombs in front of the public, and the people have long been used to it." ”

Li Mu said in agreement: "That's right, in the extremely developed capitalist market, it is very common for entrepreneurs to lie and backtrack, of course, Huaxia is not much better than you, and many of our entrepreneurs are also old foxes full of lies. ”

Speaking, Li Mu's tone became serious, and he said seriously: "However, Makino Technology is different from any American company, and it is different from any Chinese company, it is a benchmark, a banner, it represents the global integration of the Internet, represents the people-oriented, user-oriented Internet spirit, so it must not lie in front of the people, let alone lie to achieve its own capital purpose by lying." ”

Louis Martin was slightly stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Mu's requirements for himself and Makino Technology were too strict, but he was soon relieved, Li Mu is a principled person, sometimes this kind of person looks a little stubborn and stupid, but looking at Li Mu's achievements, he found that in fact, such stubbornness and stupidity are not because of small losses, but because of small losses.

Lin Qingya said at this time: "Mr. Li, the intensity of speech guidance in the market seems to be increasing, I want to confirm, is this you behind the scenes?"

Lin Qingya is almost one of the earliest core members of Li Mu's early business, and she has an extraordinary understanding of Li Mu's style of doing things, although when the stock price began to fluctuate today, there were remarks that the possibility of Muye Technology acquiring Apple was very low. Induce retail investors to sell, but that kind of strength, at most 50 points, but, not long after Li Mu went out to make a phone call and came back, the remarks on the Internet began to intensify, many people came out to sing about the possibility of Apple being acquired, and even created a huge panic among retail investors, so that retail investors accelerated the selling, the gap between the methods before and after is very large, Lin Qingya can guess that the first half should be the main institution of the NASDAQ in operation, and in the second half, it should be Li Mu's army running into the market.

Facing Lin Qingya's question, Li Mu smiled deeply, was silent for a moment, nodded lightly, and said, "That's right, I arranged for someone to add fuel and vinegar to them behind the main organization and assist them in the back." ”

Lin Qingya blinked and smiled, and said: "You are so pushing, more than 70% of the stocks of retail investors today have been sucked away by the main force, and if you wait any longer, it is estimated that it can exceed 80% ......"

Retail investors are the group that cannot afford to be fooled and intimidated, if the panic is really created, thousands of retail investors will choose to flee for their lives at the same time, on the contrary, if the opportunity is depicted, thousands of retail investors will rush in desperately with money.

The main institutions often use the characteristics of retail investors to play around like monkeys, he is optimistic about a stock, he will first let retail investors lose confidence in this stock, and sing down the stock through various channels in all channels, and then retail investors can not stand the intimidation and sell, the main smile to take over, and then pull up the stock price, at this time retail investors will have a feeling: why do I sell which stock, which stock will rise?

If the prospect of a stock in the main opponent is not optimistic, he will first let the retail investors be full of confidence in the stock, the world is full of good news about the stock, making people feel eager to soar to the sky, and then the retail investors think they have a unique vision, a large number of buy and wait for appreciation, as a result, the main force will cash out the stock in their hands smoothly, and then the stock price will fall, and the retail investors will be deeply trapped in the posture of the receiver, at this time the retail investors will feel: why do I buy which stock, which stock will fall?

Apple's stock has been in the doldrums for a long time, retail investors have long been exhausted, today suddenly said that Makino Technology is going to be acquired, everyone was very excited, but this excitement did not last long, there were a large number of negative Apple remarks on the market, so that the vast majority of retail investors feel that the possibility of Makino Technology to acquire Apple is basically zero, so they were already exhausted and did a roller coaster again, and the last trace of faith was also consumed, so everyone cut the meat and stopped the loss, everyone was afraid that when Makino Technology officially refuted the rumors, the stock price would fall to a new low。

At this moment, those main institutions are about to pass out happily, in their eyes, Apple's stock is like containing gold, but they never thought that they wanted to take the opportunity to make money from Li Mu, but they didn't know that Li Mu had already sharpened the knife and put the knife on their necks.

In the conference room, Li Mu laughed a few times and said, "If the vast majority of retail investors have cleared their positions, then we can rest assured that we can swing the knife boldly." ”

After speaking, Li Mu said to Lin Qingya: "Qingya, I used to prepare for the release of information, and the content of the release was: Makino Technology will only consider acquiring Apple when its stock price is lower than $3.5, and even if it is 1 cent above this price, Makino Technology will not acquire even one ten-thousandth of Apple's shares." ”

"$3.5?" everyone froze.

Louis Martin looked at Li Mu and said dumbfounded: "Mr. Li, your trick is really ......."

Seeing that he didn't finish his words, Li Mu asked with a smile, "Is it insidious?"

"No......" Louis Martin shook his head, gave a thumbs up, and said, "It's perfect!"

According to Li Mu's requirements for Makino Technology and himself, he must not declare to the outside world that he is not ready to buy Apple, so as to suppress Apple's stock price at this stage, but Louis Martin did not expect that Li Mu would use the strange way of public pricing to achieve this goal.

If Makino Technology issued this statement, clearly stating that Apple's stock price exceeded $3.5 a penny, Makino Technology would not consider it, then there is no need to think about it, Apple's stock price will quickly fall below this price, otherwise as long as the price exceeds $3.5, Apple will not be acquired by Makino Technology, and it must digest all the negative effects at this stage alone, in that case, it will inevitably continue to fall, so there is no doubt that as long as Li Mu makes this statement, no one can make Apple's stock price stand above $3.5.

If Apple's stock price falls below $3.5, then Apple's stock price can immediately gain a foothold, because at that price, the preconditions for Li Mu's acquisition of Apple are established, and everyone just needs to wait for Li Mu to formally submit a privatization application to the NASDAQ.

At present, those who are willing to buy Apple and can immediately come up with money to buy it, I'm afraid that only Makino Technology is one, and no one else will think that the acquisition of Apple is a good deal, the iPod business is dead and facing huge losses, and the Mac business has been pressed by Microsoft on the concrete floor for so many years, and billions of dollars to collect such Apple, basically there will be no possibility of turning over.

Therefore, even if Li Mu pushes the circulating stock price below $3.5, he will not meet any competitors.

Louis Martin asked Li Mu at this time: "Mr. Li, if this is the case, is the offer to Apple to be renegotiated?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "We adopt a dual-track system, the non-tradable shares of Apple shareholders are still acquired at 90% of the $4.15 price, and the tradable shares are acquired at a share price of less than $3.5 1:1, without any premium attached." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Originally, in order not to leave a bad impression on the Nasdaq, Li Mu deliberately prepared a 1:1.5 privatization condition for the tradable shares, and it was based on $4.15, that is, Li Mu was willing to pay $6.22 per share for the tradable shares.

However, now Li Mu has repented, and he wants to lower the price of the outstanding shares to $3.5, so that he can ......

Ding Jian said with a worried face: "Mr. Li, if we are so strong in the privatization offer, will it cause investors to be disgusted?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "If I released such news before today, I would definitely be scolded to death by Wall Street and NASDAQ investors, but today, these main institutions came out to assist, which is equivalent to giving us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

Speaking of this, Li Mu said: "I will immediately arrange a new round of public opinion warfare, accusing securities investment institutions of deliberately spreading negative remarks this time, The ugly face of luring ordinary investors to sell Apple stocks will first arouse public anger in front of the public investors, so that those investors who have been deceived into getting off the car will definitely hate these securities investment institutions, and it will also cause the public to dislike and hate the securities investment institutions. ”

Everyone present nodded in agreement, if this public opinion guidance is done to the extreme, then the securities investment institutions will become the most hated objects of public investors, they will regard the securities investment institutions as bandits, robbers, thieves and shameless people full of lies, what they are most looking forward to is to see these bandits and robbers go to the guillotine.

Li Mu continued: "If this step is done, we will issue a decision to acquire below $3.5, and then the stock price will collapse, but the public investors will not hate us, because before the stock price crashed, their stocks have been deceived by these securities investment institutions, and what we cut is the leeks of these securities investment institutions, which is equivalent to giving a bad breath to the public investors, will they still hate us? No, they will only applaud and treat us as heroes! A superhero who is angry with them for revenge!"

At this time, if a person robs the person who robbed him, and beats him violently, he will inevitably feel a lot of relief in his heart, although the person who robbed him later robbed him of his finances.

If it weren't for the mass base, Li Mucai would not have given the NASDAQ retail investors 150% privatization conditions, and now that the masses have lost their Apple stocks, they no longer have to scruple when they wield their own knives.

Everyone in the conference room was excited, because they realized that Makino Technology was about to be a blessing in disguise!

……

When retail investors have almost sold off their Apple stocks, a terrible statement suddenly appeared in the market and on the Internet.

This statement unwaveringly claims that Apple's investors have been deceived by the securities investment institutions, who have created all kinds of panic to induce retail investors to sell their stocks, and then they themselves have gone crazy to raise funds in various ways, and now, all the stocks in the hands of retail investors have gone into the pockets of these investment institutions, and they are ready to take a ride and make a fortune.

Although this kind of rhetoric has existed before, it has not been able to push out his views because he is really indifferent in the face of panic speech, but now, this kind of speech has suddenly become overwhelming, and the influence has spread so quickly that it is simply incredible.

However, there are many detailed evidences listed in this kind of remarks, which further proved their views with dry goods, which caused a great impact on the ordinary investor group for a while!

These investors, who realized that they had been deceived, were outraged and used various ways to criticize, condemn, and protest against this practice of investment institutions, but they could only take advantage of their words, after all, although the practices of investment institutions were immoral, they were not illegal, and everyone could not help them at all.

The stock market all over the world is like this, and it is normal for retail investors to be played by the main force in a fancy way, and it is fair that there is no such thing.

The more there is nowhere to redress their grievances, the more the deceived investors are holding a fire in their hearts, and this fire is burning more and more, subconsciously, these investors are beginning to look forward to a miracle that is theoretically impossible, and they are looking forward to someone who can help them, and launch a fire against these capitalists who eat people and do not spit out bones, and make them pay the price!
