Chapter 1453 You should be more tolerant of your own son
Tim Cook was hung by Li Mu and Lin Qingya all day, and until the market closed, he and Apple's shareholders were scared, for fear that the abnormal fluctuation of the stock price would make Makino Technology give up the acquisition of Apple, or adjust the acquisition offer to Apple shareholders.
The sharp rise in the stock price means that the cost of privatization increases, although Makino Technology can directly let Apple be forced to delist after getting the collective signature of Apple shareholders, but the price of the delisting cannot be lower than the real-time stock price, which is the most basic premise, secondly, the delisting offer can not make all outstanding investors nod, but it must make the NASDAQ nod, otherwise forced privatization is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, the NASDAQ is the dictatorial father of all NASDAQ shareholders, and privatization only needs to be approved by him alone, and it doesn't matter what the opinions of the children in the family are.
Based on this, if the institution gets the chips and pulls up the stock price, it can get the full takeover of Makino Technology;
Moreover, everyone knows very well that Li Mu does not want to leave a bad impression on the shareholders of the NASDAQ, so he will definitely give the stock price a premium of more than 20% in accordance with the practice of delisting on the NASDAQ, which is another huge gain for the institution.
If Li Mu is angry to say goodbye to Apple, then all Apple shareholders will have to be led, and the options in Tim Cook's hand will basically be lost.
If Li Mu continues to buy Apple after the stock price increases, then the cost of his privatization will inevitably increase a lot, with Li Mu's temper, he will not pay so much cost in vain, the biggest possibility is to let Apple shareholders pay for themselves.
If for some reason, the shareholders want to get four, and the person who controls the market is unwilling to spend extra, then the shareholder can only take six.
If it is the second outcome, then the apple is barely acceptable, and if it is the first one, everyone is basically empty.
However, Tim Cook never dreamed that Li Mu would guide public opinion through some means, making securities investment institutions the target of public criticism, and then using an extremely crude statement to directly cut the institution into two, this operation was regarded by Apple as a model of violent aesthetics in the financial world.
Li Mu showed the absolute majesty of oriental paternalism to the speculators of NASDAQ, firstly, Dad said that he would spank you, and he could spank you for no reason; secondly, no one could control Dad beating you, and the police would not care; finally, you had to stand up when Dad spanked you, if you dared to run, hide, and disobey, the belt around Dad's waist would be in close contact with your ass.
Tim Cook sat in Apple's conference room, facing a group of Apple executives, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Guys, to be honest, I really didn't know that today's events could end up like this, to be honest, I personally really, dumbfounded." ”
A shareholder who understands Chinese said: "There is an idiom in China called "Five Bodies to the Ground, which is the most appropriate way to describe my current mood." ”
Another shareholder sighed: " Li Mu's play is so simple, we can also imagine it, but we never think this kind of thing is feasible, directly announce the acquisition reserve price, we will be worried about being charged with manipulating the stock price; snatch the profits in the hands of institutions, we will worry about being boycotted by institutions in the market in the future; privatization with real-time stock prices, we will be worried that the NASDAQ will not agree, and second, we will be worried that shareholders and investors will scold us as bandits and robbers, but Li Mu is not worried about anything, he just did it so naturally and directly, and it was done cleanly. This is the huge difference that comes from different powers......"
Tim Cook said: " Johnson, don't be misled by Li Mu, he is not a reckless man who blindly pays attention to courage, his real ability is to deal with all possible threats and influences before the knife falls, you see him cut the profits of the institution with a knife, but behind this, is Li Mu's real-time grasp of the entire NASDAQ trend, and the pure application of the law, why did he wait until the close of the market to make this statement, I guess he has been monitoring the trend of Apple's circulating stocks, knowing that most of the chips are in the pockets of the institution, so he made a decisive move at this time; ”
Moreover, Li Mu did a thorough public opinion guidance, he first exposed the behavior of institutions to the sun, and then guided public opinion to carry out large-scale verbal criticism of these institutions, and at the same time provoked all ordinary investors to review the hatred of institutions, and laid a strong mass foundation for themselves, which is the best strategy of the Chinese people, just like the peasant uprising in the history of ancient Xia in China, the first thing the initiator should do is to let the masses stand with themselves. Let the masses hate their enemies, Li Mu has also done this, his propaganda methods are too powerful and too clever, there is no evidence that Li Mu is manipulating public opinion, but although the masses are still in the dark, everyone here should know very well in their hearts that all this must be secretly promoted by Li Mu;"
In addition, Li Mu also felt the pulse of the NASDAQ, theoretically speaking, the stock price of listed companies is the embodiment of the actual value, the price of 1:1 is only suitable for normal trading, and the NASDAQ will not approve the forced privatization of any company at a cost price of 1:1, but this time, Li Mu publicly announced that he would not give any premium, which seems to be a blatant violation of the rules of the NASDAQ, but I believe that the NASDAQ will not object, because Li Mu has enough initiative posture, If the Nasdaq does not approve it, Apple's stock price will fall below its net worth, and at the same time, the masses will have a huge dislike for the Nasdaq, and the Nasdaq will become an accomplice of those evil institutions in the eyes of the masses. ”
Speaking of this, Tim Cook sighed and said: "It won't be long before the NASDAQ and even the entire United States will become Li Mu's home field, and people will support him more than any American entrepreneur, which is really terrible!"
A shareholder and executive interjected: "Tim, as long as we are successfully acquired by Makino Technology, this matter is not terrible at all, you will become an executive of Makino Technology in the future, if you work harder, you can even become the vice president of Makino Technology, but the premise is that you must quickly figure out what kind of attitude Li Mu has towards us now, if the stock price falls below $3.5, will he change his offer to us?"
This quote resonated with many people.
Li Mu has already demonstrated his toughness and strength through a statement, Li Mu has now cut the income of the shareholders of the outstanding shares, so will he cut the income of the shareholders of Apple? The shareholders of Apple have accepted the purchase price of $4.15 multiplied by 90 percent, will Li Mu suddenly announce tomorrow that he wants to buy 90 percent of the shares in their hands at $3.5? If that is the case, everyone will really be miserable to the grandmother's house.
Tim Cook said: "Li Mu and Lin Qingya have both refused to communicate with me for the time being, I guess they should be very dissatisfied with the leak, after all, the most likely source of the leak is within us." ”
The shareholders said one after another: "We have to communicate with Li Mu quickly to confirm! Otherwise, everyone's nerves are tense and they don't dare to relax for a moment." ”
Tim Cook nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll call Li Mu again." ”
……
Makino Technology is celebrating the victory in advance, whether from the perspective of public opinion, law, or strength, market, Makino Technology has won this time.
Lin Qingya's assistant received a call from Tim Cook, and hurriedly went to the conference room and said to Lin Qingya: "Mr. Lin, Apple's Tim Cook called again, saying that he wanted to talk to you. ”
Lin Qingya glanced at Li Mu beside her and said to her: "Tell him, just say that I don't have time, and let him contact me tomorrow." ”
The assistant nodded, turned and left, and a few minutes later, Tim Cook called Li Ziwei.
Li Ziwei came to Li Mu's side and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, Tim Cook called and asked to call you." ”
"It's coming to you so soon......" Li Mu smiled slightly, and said to Lin Qingya: "Apple's side must be in a hurry now." ”
Lin Qingya said: "They must be worried now, worried about whether we will take the opportunity to cut off a piece of their interests." ”
"That's right. Li Mu nodded and smiled, and said, "If you don't give them a reply today, I'm afraid they will be unable to sleep at night." ”
Lin Qingya asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said: "Since you are ready to buy them, you will be your own son in the future, and you should be more tolerant of your own son." ”
Li Mu said, raised his head, and said to Li Ziwei: "Ziwei, call Tim Cook back, and ask him to bring all the shareholders of Apple to Muye Technology tonight to sign a contract, and tell them that my offer has changed, but the offer has not changed, and it is still paid at 90% of 4.15, but the actual payment must add a condition: I will pay Apple after the successful privatization, and before the payment, I have the right to terminate the cooperation at any time." ”
After speaking, Li Mu explained: " To tell them a little more detail, my request is: let them come over today to sign and transfer the equity to me, I will postpone the payment first, use the shares they transferred to me to initiate a vote, pass the privatization resolution, and then apply to the NASDAQ for privatization, if the NASDAQ passes the privatization application, Makino Technology will pay the funds required for privatization at the same time, as well as the equity transfer income due to Apple shareholders, and successfully complete the privatization; if the NASDAQ does not pass the privatization application, I can abandon the acquisition of Apple at any time for a period of two months, if I do not get the NASDAQ two months after signing, or do not payand all shares are automatically returned to Apple shareholders!"
