Chapter 566: The Dao is one foot high, and the Demon is one foot high
Bang!
Zheng Mozi smashed a glass into the president's office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He flew back to Yanjing overnight, but he didn't expect such a news to greet him as soon as he landed.
He waited for White Rose to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but who knew that White Rose stabbed him directly.
"Despicable and shameless! Insidious villain! I thought he was a loyal and honest person, but I didn't expect to have such sinister intentions! Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by!" Zheng Mozi finally woke up at this time and understood the true intention of White Rose.
"Tell me about the stock. Zheng Mozi said with a gloomy face.
The secretary was a little cautious and didn't dare to look at Zheng Mozi.
She held a tablet in her hand and said timidly: "Mr. Zheng, the situation is not good." Now it has fallen thirteen points in a row. And there are a lot more people selling our stocks, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Mozi's face became even more ugly, and he glanced at the secretary, his eyes were full of anger.
was so frightened that the secretary took two steps back, thinking that Zheng Mozi was going to vent his anger on her.
"I'm going to get all the original shares of the company in the conference room, and I'm going to have a meeting. Zheng Mozi thought for a while and said.
By now, it has turned into a war. Although the cause of the war is still unclear to Zheng Mozi, he has been forced to get involved, so he has to fight.
It doesn't matter if White Rose wants to short Huanzhong stock or wants to make a hostile takeover of Huanzhong. In short, Zheng Mozi can't let the white rose get his wish.
In the conference room of Universal Media.
The faces of the executives were serious, and they all knew that the company was now facing a major situation, and it was an existential crisis.
Zheng Mozi didn't talk nonsense as usual, but got straight to the point and said, "I believe everyone knows about it." The opponent is strong and cunning. It is not known whether they want to short us for profit or if they want to launch a hostile takeover over of us. Anyway, let's plan for the worst. All of you here are veterans of the company, and they are also a few of the original shares. Now that the company is dying, I hope that you will hand over your original shares to help the company through this difficult time. When this matter passes, I, Zheng Mozi, will definitely thank you again!"
There was a commotion in the conference room.
A handful of people who were good friends with each other talked to each other, and everyone had some concerns. After all, the original shares are money, and Zheng Mozi asked them to hand them over, saying that it sounded good to save the company, and they could also obtain greater benefits in the future. It's hard to say, if Zheng Mozi turns his face and doesn't recognize people, he will kick them away when the time comes. They can't do anything about it.
This share, whether to pay or not, but to think about it.
Seeing that no one expressed his position, Zheng Mozi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. But now is not the time for him to get angry, he glanced at everyone present, and then began to order.
"Lao Wang, you were the first to come to this company with me, and you can be said to be a veteran. Now that the company has a problem, you should take the lead and take a stand. ”
The executive, called Lao Wang, had been squinting before, as if he was sleeping. was named by Zheng Mozi, and he woke up with a spirit, and said a little dazedly: "Ah, what did you say, Mr. Zheng?"
Zheng Mozi was so angry that he trembled, but he had to suppress his emotions and repeat the words again.
"Oh, that's it. As an old courtier of the company, I naturally support Mr. Zheng and the company without hesitation. I didn't say it!" said the old ** swearing.
Zheng Mozi's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, with Lao Wang taking the lead, things would be much easier.
But Zheng Mozi's joy didn't last for two seconds, and he heard Lao Wang speak slowly: "It's a pity that I'm powerless now." Mr. Zheng, you don't know, the stock in my hand is long gone. Three years ago, my mother-in-law was seriously ill and needed a large amount of money to go abroad for surgery. At that time, I also asked Mr. Zheng for instructions and wanted to advance a sum of money from the company, but you refused. In desperation, I wanted to sell the house. At this time, Director Yao stepped forward to help me, and she gave me the money in exchange for my company's stock. Although the company's stock has risen a lot so far, I don't regret it, but I am still grateful to Director Yao. Because she saved my mother-in-law's life......"
Lao Wang chattered, as if he wanted to tell a long story.
Zheng Mozi listened to it, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
With a bang, he slapped the table hard, startling everyone and interrupting Wang's words.
"Okay, don't say it, I know!" Zheng Mozi said through gritted teeth.
He had the impression of this matter, the amount of money that Lao Wang wanted to advance was not small, and Zheng Mozi was distressed, so he did not agree. Who knew that Yao Xingchen took advantage of the loophole and took away Lao Wang's stocks.
From now on, we will be inseparable!
Zheng Mozi thought hatefully, and then looked at the second candidate.
Zhang Lin.
This woman also has a part of the equity in her hand, so she won't sell it to Yao Xingchen too, right?
Just when Zheng Mozi wanted to ask, Zhang Lin took the initiative to speak. And the first sentence made Zheng Mozi fall into the ice cellar, and he felt chills all over.
"Don't look at me, Mr. Zheng. My shares were also sold to Xingchen, and the company's top management is just two of us women, and we have a good relationship. When she spoke, I couldn't refuse. Besides, the price given by Xingchen was very high, so I didn't think much about it at the time, so I just made a favor. Who would have thought that the company would be in the situation like this?"
It's Yao Xingchen again!
"Mr. Zheng, are you okay? I really didn't expect this! If I thought about it, I would never sell the shares in my hand easily! By the way, Mr. Zheng, wouldn't it be the end of looking for Xingchen directly? Xingchen should have more than ten shares in his hand now, right?" Zhang Lin proposed.
It's okay not to mention this stubble, but when he mentioned it, Zheng Mozi couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and roared suddenly: "Don't mention this slut's name in front of me from now on!"
Everyone looked at Zheng Mozi in amazement, not understanding why Zheng Mozi was so out of shape.
Someone who knows the inside story whispered: "Yao Xingchen seems to have resigned." ”
"How so?" the crowd was slightly stunned, and then thoughtfully, as if they understood something.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room fell into awkwardness.
Zheng Mozi suddenly felt a little desperate, if he had a gun in his hand at this time, he would definitely not be able to control himself and kill everyone in this room.
It's all rubbish!
"Mr. Zheng, I remember that our company seems to have a poison pill plan, right? If a rival is identified, then his acquisition will inevitably trigger the poison pill plan. We can still be invincible!" someone suddenly reminded Zheng Mozi.
Zheng Mozi was stunned for a moment, but he suddenly woke up.
Fortunately, he followed the lawyer's advice and added this clause, otherwise he would have been played to death this time!
The so-called poison pill plan was invented in 1982 by Martin Lipton, a well-known American merger and acquisition lawyer, and is officially known as the "equity dilution anti-takeover measure". When a company encounters a hostile takeover, especially when the acquirer's stake has reached 10% to 20%, the company will issue a large number of new shares at a low price in order to maintain its controlling stake. The purpose is to reduce the proportion of shares in the hands of the acquirer, that is, to dilute the equity, and at the same time increase the acquisition cost, so that the acquirer cannot achieve the goal of control.
Once adopted, the poison pill program will have at least two effects: first, it will have a deterrent effect on hostile acquirers, and second, it will reduce the number of acquirers interested in companies that adopt the program. This anti-takeover measure was legalized in 1985 by a Delaware court in the United States.
Huaxia's most famous event was in 2005, when Sina adopted the poison pill plan in the face of a grand acquisition. Shanda held a 10% stake in Sina at that time, and almost became the largest shareholder and had the right to speak on the board of directors. But Sina decisively adopted a poison pill plan, as long as Shanda took a step forward, the shares in the hands of Sina's old shareholders would be doubled. Dilute Shanda's 10% stake to 2%, and the cost of Shanda's acquisition will rise significantly. In the end, Shanda had no choice but to give up Sina.
It's a pretty brilliant anti-takeover tactic, and it's been tried and tested.
Zheng Mozi suddenly felt that he had seen the dawn and suddenly had confidence.
He will use practical actions to tell Yao Xingchen and White Rose who is the real alliance leader of this Jianghu!
Play with labor and management, you are still too tender!
"Break the meeting!, a few of you who have equity will stay!" Zheng Mozi waved his hand and began to arrange the next steps after the poison pill plan was triggered.
In a hotel in Yanjing.
Wang Yong, White Rose, Wei Ran and others are gathering together, and they are also discussing something.
said that it was a discussion, but in fact, he was listening to Wei Ran speak alone.
At this time, what Wei Ran was talking about was the most likely measure that Zheng Mozi would take-the poison pill plan.
"It is foreseeable that Zheng Mozi will definitely activate the poison pill plan. Once the poison pill program is implemented, our acquisition costs will increase significantly, and the amount of it may be a huge amount. ”
The corner of Wang Yong's eyes jumped, although he had a lot of money in his hand, he had already planned its use. It would be too capricious and irresponsible to spend a large part of it on gambling to buy a company.
Although he really wanted to do it. Smash your opponent to despair with money, and it's exciting just thinking about it.
"Then you can't crack it, right?" asked White Rose.
Wei Ran glanced at the white rose and replied expressionlessly: "Yes, and we are doing it now." ”
"You mean buying up the shares of the old courtiers?"
"It's kind of a thing. This is called uniting the old shareholders and carrying out internal disintegration. A typical case is the dispute between Renke and Oracle. On June 6, 2003, Oracle abruptly announced the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of the then world's fifth-largest software company without notifying Renke. As Oracle raised its offer again and again, it became increasingly difficult for Nishina to resist Oracle's attack. In July 2004, when the results of the government's appeal were unclear, Renke threw out a poison pill guarantee plan called maintaining the company's sales performance, which was actually an anti-takeover. The guarantee is that if the company is acquired by Oracle, it will return 5 times the amount of the product to the customer. Since Renke has annual sales of billions of dollars, this guarantee will undoubtedly create an astronomical amount of debt for the acquired Oracle, which hopes to scare Oracle away with this poison pill. However, Oracle was not deterred and repeatedly raised the purchase price, which was much higher than the market price of Renke at the time, and the company's performance had been declining, and the acquisition would have been profitable for Renke's shareholders. As a result, shortly after the release of the poison pill plan, many of Renke's shareholders put pressure on the board of directors to rescind the poison pill plan. After 18 months of internal and external conflict, the board of directors of Renke finally reached an acquisition agreement with Oracle on December 13, 2004, and Oracle acquired Renke for $10.3 billion. ”
Wei Ran was like giving a lecture, explaining to two freshmen in economics.
