Chapter 456: Big Trouble
Chapter 439: Big Trouble
"It should be the leather bag company that the other party used to buy our shares, and it seems that we are in trouble this time. Andreas, the chairman, frowned all the time, unable to soothe. Judging from the handwriting of this Mader investment company, in just two hours, 500 million euros can be smashed, which is obviously menacing, and it is estimated that it will be more fierce in the later stage.
In order to acquire Volkswagen, Porsche has borrowed $13 billion from banks. There is no extra money, and then play anti-takeover with others.
"Send someone to investigate, who is behind this Mad's investment company, who is in control? I want to know the answer tomorrow at the latest. Andreas, chairman of Porsche, said in a deep voice.
On the morning of the second day, the subordinate in charge of the investigation sent back the news, "Chairman, we understand that behind the Mader Investment Company, it is actually actually controlled by the Russian Ma V Group. ”
"Are you sure?" Andreas asked, repeatedly. If it's really the Ma V Group that is making trouble behind their backs, then they will be in big trouble.
First, Mawei Group has always been their competitor. Second, the group has abundant funds, not only engaged in the automotive industry, but also engaged in entertainment, energy, and Internet. The group's market capitalization is much higher than that of Porsche.
Such a hostile takeover is obviously an adult bullying children and beating elementary school students.
"Confirmed, Chairman Andreas. The sources are reliable. The subordinate said firmly on the phone.
"Okay, I got it. Andreas hung up the phone with a frown and dark circles. He didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Even in the morning, I don't have the appetite to eat. It's all to blame someone.
"Ma Wei Group is really pervasive. Andreas, muttered to himself with mixed feelings. The last time they went to France to compete for Bugatti, they lost to Mavi.
Compared with the last time, the strength of Mawei Group has grown a lot. Not only is the market value of various Internet companies increasing day by day. Even entertainment, film and television companies, which were sluggish in the past few years, have been revitalized by him into unicorn companies with 10 times, or even hundreds of times market value growth. It's even harder to win. I believe that when the stock market opens, there will be a huge amount of money frantically buying their Porsche shares.
However, just when the chairman Andreas was so worried. But a piece of good news came......
That is, after the German stock market opened, everything was calm. There are no large orders in the buy order, nor there are mysterious funds that sweep the stock market as they did before the close of trading yesterday.
"Chairman Andreas, it's been 1 hour and 45 minutes since the stock market opened, and yesterday's mysterious forces still haven't appeared. It seems that yesterday's market closed just a coincidence, or the other party got the ticker code?", said the head of the investment department, feeling the pressure drop sharply, to the chairman of Porsche.
In the conference room, the senior executives of the board of directors also showed a happy expression on their faces after hearing this. There is speculation that what happened yesterday afternoon may really be just a coincidental event. Or simply the other party's funds, encountered some problems, resulting in follow-up shortcomings, so the flag is right......
Andreas groaned and did not reply, nor did he show a relaxed expression. Because he knew that the Russian Mavi would not make such a low-level mistake. As long as he intervenes in investment acquisitions, there is definitely something he wants. And that thing, most likely, is their Porsche!
"It may not be that simple, and there may be a bigger crisis waiting for us. So don't let your guard down. Andreas, added with a serious expression.
However, as soon as he said this, it didn't take long for it to work.
"Chairman Andreas, this morning, the Mader investment company bought nearly 12% of our company's shares from small and medium-sized shareholders at a price higher than the market price!"
Mawi's investment team has contacted many shareholders of Porsche AG and is willing to buy their shares at a high price. As a result, many small and medium-sized shareholders have signed agreements to sell their Porsche shares.
"12%?just one morning?" Hearing this news, Porsche executives were all frightened. Including Andreas, the chairman who was sitting at the conference table, felt a little dizzy with his eyes wide open!
"12%? are you sure?"
"The chairman of the board of directors should be 12.37% to be exact!" replied the subordinate very bluntly. It's not at all as good as Andreas, and the higher-ups feel.
"Yesterday it was 4.2%, and today it has reached 16.57%, is Ma Wei Group going to force people to a dead end?"
In just two days, the executives of Porsche AG were in a mood like a roller coaster, and they were excited. This kind of acquisition is even more terrifying than their original acquisition of Volkswagen. It is conceivable that the financial strength of the Mawei Group, and the acquisition of Porsche is like playing.
Compared with Porsche's self-chaos, people are panicking, and Volkswagen, on the other hand, is glad that the atmosphere has changed abruptly. Thanks to the chairman of the Mawei Group, he appeared in time, otherwise no one would have been able to save them and resist Porsche's offensive.
"Mr. Mavi, I heard that the Porsche side has been in chaos since yesterday afternoon. They never imagined that someone would use the same method to buy them. Volkswagen Chairman Louis is convinced by his admiration for Mavi.
Whether it is Mavi's financial resources or his courage to do things, all make Louis feel that the future is terrifying, and the times have already changed dramatically......
"It's good to make a mess, otherwise it won't work, and the money will be wasted. Mavi shrugged his shoulders with humor. Yesterday afternoon, plus this morning, he spent a total of 1.5 billion euros. This loser speed, even if it is a rich second generation, will feel numb on the scalp when you see it. Because they can't estimate how many luxury cars and mansions can be bought for 1.5 billion euros!
It is estimated that even if it is a limited edition sports car around the world, you can buy it all over the world......
After listening to Ma Weifeng's indifferent answer, Volkswagen Chairman Luis and the senior executives of the board of directors couldn't help but feel the gap between the two sides.
is also engaged in the automotive field, and the young man sitting in front of them bought the bankrupt Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Maserati at a very low price. And then to heights never reached by the former.
On the contrary, they are German Volkswagen, and there is no need to say much about other aspects. Just from the three years that they were forcibly acquired by Porsche, it can be seen that they have developed quite a lot......
