Chapter 675 Lao Tzu's company, Lao Tzu is in charge

Shortly after the conclusion of the Penguin Group's shareholders' meeting, Penguin Publishing Group formally applied to the London Stock Exchange for a suspension of trading on the grounds that it was planning a major event.

All of a sudden, everyone was speculating about what the hell Penguin Publishing Group was up to? Didn't it just change its controlling major? And Princess Diana's younger brother, Charles Spencer, became the chairman of Penguin Publishing Group as a representative of the Tianchen Foundation.

Now, what kind of moth are you doing? The most important thing is that it has applied for a suspension of trading, you must know that Penguin Publishing Group has not applied to the exchange for suspension of trading in such a big event before.

So, both the publishing and financial worlds are waiting for the final result, and they all want to see what bad this "penguin" is holding back.

did not let the onlookers wait long, and soon, a powerful news directly shocked the whole UK and the world.

On the third day after the suspension, Penguin Publishing Group officially announced that Tianchen Fund, the company's largest shareholder, officially reached an agreement with Pearson Group, the second largest shareholder, to acquire 37% of the shares held by Pearson Group at a premium of 10%.

Completely blown up, really completely blown up!

The entire publishing and financial circles were completely blown up, and no one expected that Tianchen Fund's actions would be so fast and so rapid, nor did they expect Pearson Group to be so weak - they were directly swept away by Tianchen Fund.

Although this incident broke out suddenly, it seems to be a matter of course when you think about it, it is very simple, because this is the consistent routine of Tianchen Fund - breaking into other people's homes as robbers, then turning against customers, and finally driving others out of the house.

This time, it's the same recipe, the same taste.

At this point, Pearson, which has controlled Penguin Publishing for more than 20 years, ended its rule and was officially swept into the dustbin of history, becoming a familiar stranger. When George Wren heard the news, he was as happy as a child, and people who didn't know thought this guy was crazy. After being suppressed by the Pearson Group for more than 20 years, George Wren finally "got revenge" today, and watched his "sworn enemy" being swept away by others - how happy it is.

After acquiring the 37% stake in Pearson, the stake in the hands of Tianchen Fund has reached 90%.

So, there is basically no suspense about what follows!

It is still the same "routine", Tianchen Fund officially submitted an application to the London Stock Exchange to privatize Penguin Publishing Group.

Sure enough, sure enough, the "robber" of Tianchen Fund once again showed his "fangs", and it became sharper and sharper.

This time it was not as cumbersome as the privatization of Sky TV and Manchester United last time, and the London Stock Exchange directly agreed to the privatization application of Tianchen Fund - after all, Penguin Publishing Group is not as influential as the first two, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference.

After the London Stock Exchange nodded and let go, the next thing was quite easy, and Tianchen Fund soon pocketed all the remaining shares of less than 10%, officially turning Penguin Publishing Group into a wholly-owned subsidiary of its own.

Now that the "Little Penguin" now completely belongs to Su Chenyu, it's time to pretend to be forced next.

Let me ask you, what is the purpose of Su Dashao's acquisition of Penguin Publishing Group?

Naturally, it's not to enter the publishing industry, this guy is trying to take revenge, in order to get an explanation for his "road to a writer".

Now, Penguin Publishing Group completely belongs to Lao Tzu!

Then Lao Tzu's company is in charge of Lao Tzu......

Andrew Baines, a review editor at Penguin Publishing, is neither powerful nor powerful in the Penguin Publishing Group, and belongs to the kind of ordinary people who can't make a splash in the company. However, sometimes it has to be said that the position of this review editor is quite important, because he controls the fate of countless people who have literary dreams.

Well, just like Su Chenyu back then, the submitted "Harry Potter" was not only rejected, but also severely humiliated by this guy.

Yes, it was this Mr. Andrew Baines who wrote a rejection letter to Su Chenyu back then!

Quickly flipping through the manuscript in his hand, Andrew Baines, who looked impatient, threw it directly into the trash can next to him, and then pulled out a copy from the stack of manuscripts next to him and quickly flipped through it again - so repeatedly, it seemed that every other person's hard work was rubbish in the eyes of the review editor.

It didn't take long for the stack of manuscripts that was high next to Andrew Baines to be "thrown" by him, and almost all of them were thrown into the trash, leaving only a few copies on his desk. Don't think that Andrew Baines is more satisfied with the books left behind, on the contrary, Andrew Baines is preparing to write a rejection letter to humiliate the authors of these manuscripts.

This is a little bad taste of Andrew Baines.

Fiddling with the pen in his hand, Andrew Baines was thinking about how to make these "stupid pigs" give up on the path of literature - now anyone dares to write a book, and dare to vote for the famous Penguin Press - what a fearless person. Just like a few years ago, a guy actually took a graffiti work read by a child of a few years old and submitted it to Penguin Press, which really made Andrew Baines angry, so he deliberately wrote a very humiliating rejection letter.

A blonde girl knocked on Andrew Baines' desk and said, "Baines, the director asked you to come to his office." ”

"Okay. ”

Looking at the secretary who left with a twist of his hips, Andrew Baines couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart, his little brother was actually very hard, and then quickly tidied up and walked towards the director's office.

Recently, their Penguin Publishing House has been eventful, even the big boss has changed, and the famous Tianchen Fund has become the new boss of the company, and it is said that the new person will be vigorously promoted, is it that the director is here to inform him of the promotion and salary increase?

After tidying up his appearance again at the door of the director's office, Andrew Baines, who was smiling, knocked on the door, and then there was a sound from the office asking him to enter.

About ten minutes later, Andrew Baines came out, but not elatedly, and the whole person was depressed - because he had just been fired by Penguin Press, and he was fired on the grounds that his personal ability and moral character were questionable.

Andrew Baines collapsed, feeling that the world was gloomy, because as soon as the reason for Penguin Publishing came out, it was very difficult for him to find a job in the publishing industry in the future.

Truth be told, Andrew Baines really doesn't know what he's doing wrong!

Of course, he certainly didn't know what he was doing wrong, because it seemed to him that it was just normal.

However, Andrew Baines didn't know that he had inadvertently made a big death, and even attracted the revenge of the thunder!
