Chapter 1121 Apple's final surname is Lin!
The shareholders didn't expect Lin Cheng to come completely prepared, and his attitude was so tough, everyone was overwhelmed by Lin Cheng's strong oppression.
However, the businessman did not seek money, and Michael and Chamberlain looked at each other, and Chamberlain took the initiative to ask: "If we are willing to sell you Apple shares, I wonder what price you are willing to make?"
Today, Apple's share price is about $7, with a total share capital of more than 800 million shares, and a total market value of about $5.6 billion.
However, Lin Cheng is not short of money now, and he can make a privatization offer to buy all the shares of Apple, so that Apple can become a private company that is completely his own.
Lin Cheng was initially vetoed the privatization offer, believing that it would easily hurt investors' hearts by making a privatization offer, and it remains to be seen whether Apple will become a super enterprise with a total market value approaching $1 trillion like the original time and space.
If Apple eventually becomes an ordinary listed company with a total market value of only $300 billion or 400 billion because of his blind messing, then he will cry and faint in the toilet.
Moreover, the privatization process of listed companies may seem simple, but in fact, it is costly and takes a long time.
Taking the U.S. imperialist stock market as an example, the fixed costs of privatization and delisting include lawyer consultation fees, audit fees, accounting fees, financial advisory fees, bank loans and financing fees, etc., while the floating cost is the premium ratio of the privatization offer, which is generally 10%~30% of the existing stock price, and in some cases it will exceed 50% or even higher, and the floating cost may also include a series of expenses in legal proceedings.
And not all listed companies make a privatization offer, which will be 100% successful, and if a privatization fails, it will be a major blow to investor confidence, and it will be very difficult for the company to regain market recognition.
In addition, the privatization process requires the hiring of intermediaries, a lot of effort to communicate with investors, and various regulatory requirements. The cost of time is also significant.
It usually takes at least eight to ten months for a company to complete the privatization and delisting process, and it is not surprising that a large company with a global reputation like Apple will take even a year.
But after forcing down Jobs, Lin Chengxin's heart has increased greatly, and compared with his previous life, he will start to engage in smartphone research and development three or four years in advance, and he will have a lot more time.
Coupled with its own unlimited financial support, Apple will only develop crazy mobile phones and computers earlier than in the previous life, and then acquire the Android company by itself, then the total market value of Apple will only be higher than in the previous life, not lower.
Since he is confident that Apple will be better in the future than in his previous life, Lin Cheng suddenly felt heartache and couldn't breathe when he thought that the profits he created for Apple would be divided among many small shareholders and investors, and he always felt that he was working for the American imperialists.
Therefore, Lin Cheng, who has always been self-interested, is more and more inclined to privatize Apple and delist it, and then let Apple restart its listing after he controls all the shares of Apple, and then lets Apple restart its listing after launching crazy mobile phones and photographed computers in the future.
Lin Cheng is confident that when the crazy mobile phone and the computer lead the world into the mobile Internet era, Apple, which is highly sought after by global fruit fans, will be listed again and will become the world's most valuable company as soon as it is listed.
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng immediately made a decision and said to Apple's shareholders: "Apple's stock price is $7 now, if you promise to sell the shares to me, I am willing to sign a stock purchase agreement with you at a price of 10 yuan to buy the shares in your hands."
By the way, I would also like to remind you that after the acquisition of your shares, my shares will probably exceed 70%, and I will make a privatization offer to the NASDAQ stock market at that time. ”
"Ten dollars?!"
The shareholders looked at each other when they heard this, and even a few shareholders with poor expression management skills couldn't hold back, and their faces showed ecstasy.
At this board meeting, Lin Cheng was extremely strong, and took out Huayin MP3 and lTunes, two deadly weapons that threaten the survival of Apple, to threaten the shareholders to hand over their shares, and the shareholders originally thought that Lin Cheng would greatly reduce the price and buy the Apple shares in the hands of the shareholders at a much lower price than Apple's stock price.
But they didn't expect Lin Cheng's offer to be much higher than they expected, which made them still have the words they had to bargain with Lin Cheng, and they couldn't say anything.
In fact, the reason why there is such a gap is because Lin Cheng values Apple more about the potential to become a trillion-dollar company in the future, but Apple's shareholders do not know that Apple will have such great potential in the future.
After they saw enough to destroy Apple's Huayin MP3 and lTunes, Apple's stake became a hot potato in their eyes, and it was no longer worth much.
Of course, some people will definitely say that Apple has the world's richest man as a major shareholder, and I will follow the world's richest man, and I will not sell a single Apple stock.
But that's not how things matter, Lin Cheng has mastered the two powerful weapons of Huayin MP3 and lTunes, he can completely suppress Apple's stock price to the extent of penetrating the center of the earth, then you will guard the Apple stock like broken paper, what's the use?
Michaels, chairman of the board of directors, took a deep breath: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Lin Cheng, the major shareholder, is willing to buy Apple shares at a price of ten dollars per share. ”
With a "swish", as soon as Michaels's voice fell, dozens of arms were raised high, including Chamberlain, who had been dissipating Lin Cheng before, without exception.
The situation is already very clear, Lin Cheng not only has mastered the two powerful weapons of Huayin MP3 and lTunes, but he also has unlimited funds, which is enough to put Apple into a situation from which it will never recover.
In this situation, Lin Cheng can still buy Apple shares at a share price of ten yuan per share, which can definitely be said to be benevolent and righteous, and they are still afraid that Lin Cheng will regret it, so they naturally can't wait to raise their hands in favor.
In view of this, Michaels could only sigh helplessly, raised his arms high, and signaled that he was also in favor of selling Apple shares to Lin Cheng.
……
Lin Cheng didn't need to deal with the next thing, and after subduing Apple's shareholders, Chen Huiyi led a strong acquisition team to negotiate with the shareholders.
Lin Cheng walked at a steady pace and returned to the newly bought villa in California, but when he closed the bedroom door, looked around for a while, and actually danced with his hands, and then danced Michael Jackson's signature space dance steps, singing in his mouth: "Forced, forced, all forced......"
