Chapter 35 Next Steps

"Feng, you still don't want to be interviewed?"

"Now at this sensitive time, let's forget it, isn't the public relations company also the same opinion?"

Although not as strict as the requirements for keeping quiet during the listing, the relevant U.S. authorities also have very strict requirements for the disclosure of information during the company's M&A process.

"We'd better keep a low profile until we finally succeed,"

Although the progress seems to be gratifying, although the external companies hired are very optimistic about the ongoing approval, Feng Yiping, as the leader, has never dared to take it lightly.

It's going to be hyped up and there's a good chance of inspiring some people and companies who don't care about Coin Stars in the first place, yo, it turned out to be a company with such a good future?

If you don't get it right, you can bring in a third party.

That's a shooting yourself in the foot.

Although in the merger agreement, regarding the certainty of the transaction and the evacuation plan in the event of a serious adverse event, the legal counsel led by Baker & Mackens wrote a number of clauses in favor of Feng Yiping.

For example, both parties have made a non-soaon commitment that neither party will solicit any third party to enter into a transaction other than the merger of the parties.

The non-solicitation commitment is an important guarantee of transaction certainty.

However, in the case of Coin Stars, if a higher offer occurs before the final approval, they are obligated to conclude the transaction with the higher bidder from the point of view of the AR (fiduciary duty) of the Coin Star Board of Directors.

The "ARO" (fiduciary export) clause became a mandatory clause for listed companies, and Coin Star required fiduciary export in the merger agreement.

From Noor's point of view, he is entitled to claim $30 million in cash compensation from Coin Stars if other deals for the fiduciary duty export are completed.

But even if it is a compensation of 300 million US dollars, Feng Yiping still will not agree, because this acquisition is the beginning of some of his own layouts, and it is the key to the success of his idea, and he cannot accept the result of failure at all.

▲『dǐng▲『diǎn▲『小▲『Say,.≥.o→s_();" When I invited some well-known media friends over, I made some promises to them," Buchanan said.

"Explain to them, similar interviews, arrange them later, this time, we owe money,"

"Since you don't want to, from the perspective of the overall situation, it may affect the approval, then I respect your opinion, as for those reporters, I'll take care of it,"

"Thank you,"

"But Feng, I'm not reluctant this time, but, after this merger is successfully completed, can you go to the last talk show?"

"Hehe," Feng Yiping simply put down what he was doing and looked at Buchanan, "That's your purpose,"

"Yes, that's my purpose," Buchanan didn't shy away from it, "haven't you always insisted and advocated the integration of all the resources that can be integrated to serve the company?

Originally, he didn't have to work so hard, but who called him a Chinese boss?

Before he became famous, he lectured everywhere, from Ivy League colleges and universities to entrepreneur clubs to industry associations and even companies.

But after his popularity in the United States grew, the young Feng Yiping, like the other Chinese Buchanan knew, became more successful and famous, and the less he liked to appear in public.

But this is in the United States.

The United States is a country that advocates individualism and worships heroes, so why not take advantage of such good conditions?

"Okay, I promise you, but Buchanan, in the future, you can just tell me something like this, and I can still listen to your opinions,"

"Okay, I'll fix it too," Buchanan agreed, cheerfully.

But he himself knows that such a habit should be difficult to change.

Previously, as a staff member of the big shots, Buchanan had always been more tactful in getting people to accept his opinions, and what he pursued was a similar moisturizing effect, and to put it bluntly, this was not his style of acting.

"You're busy, I'll contact those column groups,"

"Wait, don't worry," Feng Yiping carefully closed the door, "Now, it's time for the follow-up work to begin," he said in a low voice, "Have you been in contact with the top management of McDonald's?"

"McDonald's?" Buchanan thought for a moment, "What a coincidence, old Jim, who was ordered at the end of last year, we have dealt with more than once before,"

Once a symbol of the United States and American culture, the fast food giant McDonald's, these two years are really sad, since 98, the company's stock price has shrunk by an astonishing 70%, and the stock market value has lost nearly $20 billion!

In the fourth quarter of last year, 37 years after its listing, the fast-food giant actually suffered a historic loss!

Finally, on December 5 last year, former CEO Jack Greenberg was forced to resign under internal and external pressure, and McDonald's Corporation appointed Jim Cantalupo as chairman and chief executive officer.

He joined McDonald's in 1974, served as vice president in 1975, was in charge of the company's overseas business in 1987, and became president and CEO in 1991.

"Very good," Feng Yiping felt that this was a good omen, it was really luck, everything was towards him.

"You should re-establish contact with him in the near future, and when the time is right, it is best to visit him in Chicago once to consolidate and strengthen your friendship and introduce our company to him in due course."

"The purpose of this?"

"When the M&A of Coin Star is completed, we have two things to do, Merbuck will take the original team to negotiate with more friends to promote the new business model. ”

"The other thing is related to McDonald's, and it's the most critical part of our next plan," Feng Yiping said.

"The most critical part?" Buchanan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Boss, aren't you going to buy McDonald's next!"

Feng Yiping, "...... ,”

"I thank you for having so much faith in me,"

…………

Jin Ling and the three of them naturally couldn't stay in the United States until the dust finally settled on the merger, and the day after the news was announced, they embarked on a trip back to China.

On the way to the airport, Feng Yiping had a diǎn chatter that he was not used to Jin Ling, "I said, when did you learn to be so mother-in-law?"

"Yiping, how do you speak?" Huang Jingping said angrily, "Sister Jin, don't worry about it, he is a person, sometimes he has a lack of a door,"

"I won't worry about him in general," Jin Ling will be very generous, "Don't think that you are young and in good health, you can come from chaos, like you are now, there is no day off, and you often deal with urgent work in the country in the middle of the night or early in the morning, I don't think it will take a few years, you will grow old and decay,"

"This, it's also that we didn't do a good job, Yiping, in the future, when it's night here in the United States, we will try not to disturb you," Zhou Xinyu self-criticized.

"You guys, really, what does it matter? Don't worry, I still get enough sleep every day,"

"Is what he said true?" Jin Ling asked Huang Jingping.

"It's rarely more than 6 hours, and it's useless for me to say,"

"You see, there is little rest, and the whole person is in a very tense state all the time, in your words, is this sustainable?"

"Yiping, Rome was not built in a day, even if you can't rest on weekends on weekdays, then it's best to go to a place far away for a vacation, relax and adjust your state," Zheng Jiayi also advised.

"Actually, I'm really nothing, you haven't seen anything more desperate," Feng Yiping saw Page and Bryn, who had been treating the company as their home for many days recently.

"In my opinion, while the purchase is being approved, you just happen to go on vacation, go to Europe, or Africa, you can do it," Ms. Jin said.

"I really can't leave, Google is also planning to go public, Page and they are busy developing products, I definitely have to participate in the preparation work before going public, Tesla has just been founded, new employees are joining every day, new problems arise every day, the approval process for the acquisition of Coin Star, and the progress of the lawsuit over there, I also have to pay attention to it at all times...... ,”

After that, when the Coin Star purchase is completed, then I am afraid that I will be busier, I will be busy boosting its performance, and I will be busy with the next plan, then Tesla should be roughly fully staffed, and I will have to spend time to pay attention to mention diǎn, so that they can avoid detours...... It seems like it's really a time when it's not going to be a big deal.

He actually enjoyed it. (To be continued.) )
