Chapter 498: The Black Knight Project
"However, what is the specific plan? You can't just throw money at others and smash them, right?" Wang Yong asked immediately after patting his ass.
"Do you know about Cal Icahn?" Ziyu Fengqing asked rhetorically.
Wang Yong shook his head: "Carl, I know, is a football player. Icahn, I know, it's Uncle Aesop. But I don't know if Carl Icahn is combined. ”
"......" faced Wang Yong's "no learning and no skills", Ziyu Fengqing was completely defeated.
Patient, Ziyu Fengqing could only explain a little: "Carl Icahn is a famous American investor, and the latest data shows that his net worth has reached 14 billion US dollars, ranking 46th in the world. His name is often referred to as "speculator," "activist investor," or even "corporate predator" because of the controversy surrounding his history. To put it simply, Cal Icahn is a predator of red fruits, making no secret of his greed and lust, and has a 90% success rate.
Who has scared the CEOs of Wall Street the most over the past 20 years?
He is best known for his beautiful hostile takeover of World Airlines, where Icahn became the face of the "corporate predators". The latest issue of Fortune magazine called Icahn "America's hottest investor" and that he made more money for shareholders than any other speculator on the planet. Icahn's main magic weapon is to take hostile buyouts of companies he likes, and then promote changes in company management or strategy, so that the company's stock can rise rapidly in a short period of time, and then cash out.
Icahn never cared about the growth of the business, only how to profit from acquisitions and sales, which made the management of major companies shy away from him. Generally, after being acquired and cashed out by him, the company basically began to decline, or even go bankrupt. Because Cal Icahn has overdrawn the company's potential in the process of cashing out. In short, Cal Icahn cashes out for the future of a company. Therefore, he is very disliked by business managers, and even extremely disgusted. ”
Wang Yong nodded with understanding, and said: "In other words, this Carl Icahn is equivalent to the hyena of the animal kingdom, grandma doesn't love uncle or uncle, but he still has quite strong strength, even lions and elephants don't dare to provoke easily?"
"That's how you can describe it. Ziyu Fengqing said.
"What does that have to do with our plans?"
"I've been talking about feelings for a long time, I've already said that what Carl Icahn is best at is hostile takeovers, and he is good at playing the role of a black knight. Does the hostile takeover know?
"I don't know. Wang Yong shook his head very dryly.
"Check the information yourself! When you figure out these concepts and understand what I want to do, come and discuss this matter with me!"
Ziyu Fengqing's patience was finally exhausted by Wang Yong. Obviously, Ziyu Fengqing didn't want to waste time on this kind of pediatric problem of economics, so she hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the blind tone on the phone, Wang Yong felt very aggrieved.
People really don't understand, why are they so fierce?
Who is born with this?
If I ask you what it means to be "the saint is immortal and the thief is not endless," do you understand? If I ask you what you mean by "the movement of the opposite path"?
You don't understand!
But I didn't laugh at you, I didn't hang up on you, what does this mean? It shows that I am a well-educated person and a natural teacher!
Wang Yong thought angrily, and belittled Ziyu Fengqing, which alleviated his depression.
Then open the webpage and start looking up what is "hostile takeover" and "black knight".
Fortunately, the search engine is powerful enough, and it only took Wang Yong a minute to "figure out" the meaning of these two economic terms.
immediately called Ziyu Fengqing again.
After connecting, without waiting for Ziyu Fengqing to speak, Wang Yong read the entry on the computer.
"Hostile takeover, also known as hostile takeover. It refers to the acquisition activities carried out by the acquiring company without the permission of the board of directors of the target company, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not. The parties used various offensive and defensive strategies to complete the acquisition, and hoped to obtain a controlling stake and become the majority shareholder. Among them, the strong antagonism of the two sides is its basic characteristic. Unless the target company's shares are highly liquid and can be easily absorbed in the market, it is difficult to acquire. Hostile takeovers can lead to surprise takeovers. The acquiring company that undergoes a hostile takeover is generally referred to as the 'black knight'.
Broadly speaking, the Black Knight is the same concept as a hostile takeover, and the mechanism of a hostile takeover is as follows: the hostile takeover buys the shares of the target company at a high price, then reorganizes the company's top management, changes the company's management policy, and lays off a large number of workers......"
"Wang Yong! I wasted precious time talking to you in the middle of the night, not to listen to your study! If you really miss it, I have hundreds of books on capital operation here, you can read them all!" Ziyu Fengqing's angry voice came, but he was really angry by Wang Yong's shamelessness.
Ziyu Fengqing just wanted Wang Yong to think about the specific form of operation by himself, and also let Wang Yong have a little basic economic knowledge. Who knew that Wang Yong had no intention of studying at all, but directly "endorsed".
"If you like to hear it, I'll read it to you. Wang Yong shamelessly agreed.
"......" Ziyu Fengqing found that he was really defeated by Wang Yong.
How can this man be so cheap?
"Okay, I'm tired, I want to rest. You don't need to know the specific operation, I will send Wei Ran to Yanjing tomorrow. Let her get the company and the Black Knight plan all done and come back. Ziyu Fengqing raised her hand and surrendered, choosing a trouble-saving method.
Let Wei Ran deal with it.
"It's a good idea, I like it. Wang Yong looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
It was obvious that Wang Yong had planned to be the shopkeeper from the beginning, and his behavior just now was simply to deliberately make trouble, so that Ziyu Fengqing could directly send someone over to implement the plan.
Ziyu Fengqing was stunned, and then hung up the phone angrily. Look at the time, it's not early, the work at hand must be completed as soon as possible.
It's just that for some reason, Ziyu Fengqing's originally smooth train of thought suddenly blocked, and she couldn't write at all.
"Bastard!" Ziyu Fengqing glanced at the night outside the window angrily and scolded angrily. It seems that there is Wang Yong's shadow there, which can make Ziyu Fengqing vent the anger in his heart.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning a shrill man's voice was heard in the hallway.
Wang Yong opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
There is no need to guess, as soon as you hear the voice, you know that it is Yin Xia's agent, and Mr. Bai is here.
"Xia Xia, where have you been? But it scared me! That Mr. Zheng said that you suddenly had something to do and left, and you don't know where you went. I'll call you quickly, who knows that there is no news even after a day and a night, I will call the police at the police station!" Teacher Bai said with his orchid finger cocked.
He didn't know how much danger Yin Xia had experienced.
"What? Wang Yong is also here? Why do you always get involved with him? Does he have any thoughts about you? Where is he, see that the old lady doesn't scratch his face!" Teacher Bai pulled his cuffs, looking menacing, trying to find Wang Yong desperately.
In his heart, Wang Yong is the big bad wolf, and Yin Xia is Little Red Riding Hood. Wang Yong didn't want to eat Yin Xia's little red riding hood in one bite all the time.
And Mr. Bai, as Yin Xia's agent, has the responsibility to help Yin Xia resist this risk.
"Hi, Mr. Bai, we meet again. Wang Yong opened the door and greeted Teacher Bai awkwardly.
"Hmph, what are your plans for us Yin Xia! Don't think that if you and Xu are always friends, I will be afraid of you! Even if you become our boss, I will still scratch you!" Teacher Bai crossed his waist and pointed angrily.
"This ...... It's really just a chance encounter, not as unbearable as you think. I only have a teacher-student relationship with Yin Xia, and at most one more ......"
"What's the matter? Okay, you really have bad intentions for Xia Xia! I'll scratch you to death!" Teacher Bai pounced on him as he spoke, and grabbed Wang Yong's face with his long nails.
Wang Yong had no choice but to hide to the side. Teacher Bai slammed into the door with a bang, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Teacher Bai, you really misunderstood. Mr. Wang wants to say that we will have another relationship between the boss and the employee from today. It's not the kind of ...... you think," Yin Xia stepped forward to support Teacher Bai and explained.
"Boss and employees?Xia Xia, did you start a company?, where did you get the money?" Mr. Bai asked, who was confused by the collision.
"It's not me who started the company, it's Mr. Wang who bought Mr. Xu's company. Now our boss has become Mr. Wang!"
"What?"
Teacher Bai, who was swaying and unsteady, woke up suddenly, and he looked at Wang Yong in disbelief, and then at Yin Xia.
The meaning in his eyes is obvious, but he is asking if this is true?
Yin Xia nodded, reaffirming his words.
Teacher Bai knew that Yin Xia never lied, and panicked all of a sudden. Although he said before, even if Wang Yong became the boss, he would still be able to do it. But at that time, I didn't know that Wang Yong had really become the boss, didn't he? If he knew, who would say that?
, how could Wang Yong say that if he becomes the boss, he will become the boss?
Teacher Wang...... No, Boss Wang...... I was just joking, it's okay if you have an opinion about me, don't have an opinion about Xia Xia. Xia Xia, she can definitely make money for the company. Teacher Bai stammered and apologized to Wang Yong.
In and out of his words, he is the maintenance of Yin Xia, which is also what Wang Yong admires most about him.
Mr. Bai, the agent, really loves Yin Xia, and not only regards Yin Xia as a cash cow.
Although he is slightly lacking in ability, he can't rescue Yin Xia in time when he is in danger.
But it's not a matter for Wang Yong, there are so many top security personnel, just arrange one for Yin Xia to follow when the time comes.
"Okay, I don't have any problem with you and Yin Xia. As long as you don't have a problem with me. Wang Yong waved his hand and said.
Teacher Bai stood aside with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to say.
At this time, I heard Wang Yong's phone ringing, which relieved Mr. Bai's embarrassment.
Wang Yong connected, but it was Wei Ran who called. This woman is simply carved out of the same mold as Ziyu Fengqing, and she does things vigorously and resolutely, only when she does it better, and she doesn't do it badly.
How long has it been? Wei Ran had already arrived in Yanjing, asked for Wang Yong's address, and rushed over.
