Chapter 1199: All-out war
The acquisition of a broken bank was certainly not Hong Tao's purpose, and after obtaining a controlling stake, Hong Tao, as the largest shareholder of the bank, convened a board of directors. Now the voting rights of the three private equity funds are close to 60%, plus those Liszt Bank shares in the hands of Crystal Orchid Capital, it doesn't matter if the board of directors is open or not, re-election is necessary, even if everyone does not raise their hands, Hong Tao can still pass any of his own resolutions in accordance with the procedure, this is absolute control.
"Oh, Jon, we haven't seen each other for 3 or 4 years, and we seem to have been lacking in communication since Joseph died, so let's take advantage of this board meeting. In fact, I don't have anything to say to you, and you know in your own heart that you are out, and you are out of the house. Let me give you a suggestion, when the meeting is voting, you take the initiative to sell your shares to me, and I will give you a purchase price of $100. Remember, it is an initiative to ask, and it has to be strongly requested, otherwise my lawyer has prepared all the documents and formalities, and will soon ask you to go to court to explain what happened to your investment with Standard Bank of South Africa, as well as the financial records of your private deposit account in a Swiss bank for several years. Remember, if there is anything unsightly in the future, it is better not to go to Europe to do it, where is my territory, even if you save it under the pillow of the Queen of England, I can find out. Before the meeting, Hong Tao chatted intimately with Jon in front of all the shareholders in the conference room.
"Mr. Ait, don't be so aggressive, this is the board of directors of the company. It's not a dueling ground for you to settle your personal grievances, I hope you still put the interests of the company first. Don't get emotional. "Liszt's shareholders are markedly different from what they used to be, with nearly 30 percent of the shares in the hands of a few Jewish banks. And their representatives are more disgusted with Hong Tao's style, although they dare not stand up and retreat with Jon in the acquisition war, they still want to give Hong Tao some resistance in the board of directors, and try not to let the board of directors become a hall of words.
"I am not interested in knowing your name, and I do not need to know, but in a moment Miss Lada, as one of the major shareholders and one of the members of the board of directors, will launch a proposal to delist Lister Bank and become a private bank again. And me. I will definitely agree with Miss Rada's proposal, of course, you will definitely oppose it, but unfortunately the opposition will be invalid, and the result of the vote is that Miss Rada's proposal was passed. As soon as I get the news of the delisting, the stocks in your hands will probably fall into waste paper immediately. I will also give you two ways, one is to spend it with me, and the stock will fall into waste paper. One is to obediently take the initiative to sell the stock to me, but I will only give half of the price of the day, and you can do it yourself. Don't say I didn't give you time to think about it, but there's at least 2 hours left until the end of the boardroom. If you think about it for yourself, if you can't reach an agreement with me today, I will treat him as if he is going to enter the delisting stage with me. Hong Tao glanced at the person who spoke. I don't know, and I don't need to know. Now he has no distinction between enemies and enemies, and all those who stand in front of him are enemies. There is no need to distinguish so finely.
"And I warn you, that if Mr. Jon does not give up his shares, then I will make these scandals public, and Lister Bank will have to go into liquidation, and you will not even get half of the stock price. Don't expect me to feel sorry for the more than 100 million acquisition money, I just took the money to pay with you. Actually, I hope that you all don't sell it, and then let's all play together, for which I have prepared less than $5 billion in capital. Go back and tell you the bosses, whoever bought the shares of Crystal Orchid Capital, who took over the shares of those Internet companies from me, be careful, I will go to them one by one, hahahaha...... Let's not talk about it, let's have a meeting first, in case any of you have a bad heart, it will be troublesome to die here, and I still need your signature. Hong Tao felt that it was not enough, in order to shape Jon into a hated man, he added a paragraph, and clearly told everyone his purpose, means and total funds, which was really a bit of a heartfelt posture.
It's a pity that these words can't be moved at all in the ears of those shareholders, which is called the house leak happened to rain overnight. If before the stock market crash, these shareholders had the courage to wrestle with Hong Tao, and if you say that a bank worth more than a billion yuan will be acquired? If the big guys make some money, it will be enough to fight a war between takeovers and anti-takeovers, and it is really hard to say who will lose and who will win in the end. Coupled with the financial speculators in the stock market, it is very likely that Hong Tao will be beaten back, and he will have to be injured.
But the times create heroes, not to mention the anti-takeover at present, everyone has already lost themselves, and no one can take out the extra money to fight with Hong Tao. And everyone knows very well where he got this money, and there is still some of this money that he took out two years ago, which means that everyone paid to help this hateful rat survive the stock market crash, and then he took everyone's money back to buy the bottom. Even if you know what he is going to do, you don't have the ability or courage to confront him, unless someone as rich and crazy as him dares to stand up and sell tens of billions of assets. Originally, this kind of person was rare, but in the current situation, there is no one left, who is full of food and can use their own money to play.
"Revenge of the Mouseville! Season 1!" When Rada, as a spokesman for three private equity funds, announced that Lister Bank was going to be delisted, a report was quickly published in the New York Times. Unlike usual, this report is more like a serialized novel, and it is also divided into episodes. The content of the report is the acquisition of Lister Bank, and a detailed analysis is carried out later, and finally a conclusion is given that this acquisition is not commercial in nature, but more like a personal grudge. Rat Superman is back for revenge, and the companies and consortia that drove him away from the United States should be careful, and maybe it will be their turn next.
Sure enough, a few days after this comment was issued, the three private equity funds made a comeback and directly made a takeover offer to the board of directors of Crystal Orchid Capital, to buy 45% of the shares for $1.5 billion, which is more than 6 times lower than the price at which Hong Tao sold his shares, and even about 20% lower than the current stock price. Although Crystal Orchid Capital was the first to bear the brunt of the stock market crash, this acquisition also has an element of insult.
The Jewish consortium that holds these shares, no matter how poor, will not look at the $1.5 billion squarely. They immediately convened a board of directors meeting, and finally reached a resolution to reject the takeover offer, and on the grounds of harming the company's interests, they kicked Ah Shan directly from the stage and put her directly to the board of directors, because the 12% of the shares in her hand are Hong Tao's, needless to say, everyone understands in their hearts.
Then, as they did with Lister Bank, the three private equity companies began to make hostile takeovers on the stock market. The shareholders of Crystal Orchid Capital were also very tough, and almost on the same day, they launched a counter-takeover, and a capital war finally began. On the one hand, the richest man in the invisible world, on the other hand, is the well-established Jewish consortium, the main battlefield is the US stock market, and the secondary battlefield has spread to the global stock market. The two sides are not only fighting back and forth in the stock market, but also privately buying a large number of shares in the hands of minority shareholders.
As soon as the war began, it attracted the attention of all of North America and Europe. Such a large-scale hostile takeover, unheard of in recent decades, and many experts and senior practitioners in the financial industry have never seen such a scene, and now it is a living case in front of everyone. At this time, if you don't hurry up to analyze and study, you may not be able to catch up in the second half of your life. Regardless of who wins or loses, it will be good for their own improvement and future development.
Not to mention the media, some reporters have already published articles joking that they will award this year's Pulitzer Prize for journalism to Hong Tao, he is the reporter's reborn parents, how can a reporter live without him! It's really too Nima to toss, every time it is more and more hot, this time it is simply going to war directly against the giant Jewish consortium, and he is alone, which is really a bit of a medieval chivalry.
"The Black Knight is Coming!" is an article published by the Los Angeles Times, a subsidiary of Golden Throat Media Group. Hostile takeovers have a nickname in the financial world, called Black Knight, so this nickname fell on Hong Tao's head again. Because the Golden Throat Media Group has an obvious relationship with Hong Tao, this report is naturally directed at Hong Tao, it counts all the bad things that the Jewish consortium has done in the United States in the past 100 years, and then turns several American Jewish families upside down one by one. And Hong Tao is the black knight who rides a black horse, wears armor, and holds a spear, and rushes towards the devil, as if he can save the American people if he wins.
"Parasites lying on the American people!" Hong Tao has his own mouthpiece, and the Jewish consortium is bigger than his mouth. As soon as the Los Angeles Times article came out, it immediately attracted a counterattack from several newspapers in the east. They are also a routine, to first beat Hong Tao down from the moral level, so Hong Tao's history in the United States over the years has also been turned over, analyzed one by one, and then portrayed him as a hard-working, insatiable vampire. And he is also a foreign vampire, and a lot of the blood he sucks has been squandered abroad, saying that he is stealing the hard-earned money of the American people. (To be continued......)
