Chapter 589: Acquisition War
What is the right thing, in Lu Shaohua's dictionary, the right thing represents the official business, and it is also related to the Phoenix Group, especially when facing Liu Mingzhang and the employees of the Phoenix Group, the business that Lu Shaohua said is related to the Phoenix Group.
Phoenix Group has happened so much recently, but also Phoenix Group's two listed companies have a huge impact, one is Yingke Telecom, and the other is just acquired not long after the Lenovo Group, these two companies have recently had the impact of different procedures, the stock price only fell but not rose, fortunately, Phoenix Group's funds are abundant, and it is very easy to stabilize the stock prices of the two companies, but it has not caused an uncontrollable situation.
As for Yingke Telecom and Lenovo Group, the stock prices of their own companies only fell but did not rise, and they naturally noticed it, plus a high-level meeting was held within the Phoenix Group, so it was naturally clear what happened.
Now Lu Shaohua summoned them over again, and said that there was something serious to do, Liu Mingzhang and they had reason to believe that Lu Shaohua was preparing to fight back. That's right, whether it is Liu Mingzhang or Li Yunqing, or Li Zongen, they have all seen Lu Shaohua's methods and magic, and the Phoenix Group seems to be facing a huge challenge on the surface, but in the minds of the three of them, it is playing at home, and Lu Shaohua does not want to fight back at all costs.
Indeed, Lu Shaohua did not make a posture of counterattacking at all costs, and never thought of fighting back with all his might, the reason is also very simple, Microsoft, Dell, Apple, IBM, Lu Shaohua owned their shares in the early years, if they fight back with all their might, the four companies will likely face the crisis of bankruptcy, which is not equivalent to ruining their own companies!
"Are you going to deal with anyone?" Liu Mingzhang asked.
Based on Liu Mingzhang's understanding of Lu Shaohua, if there was no special matter, Lu Shaohua would not have summoned the three of them together, at most one person would come up, and now it is good, Lu Shaohua is inconvenient to gather the three of them together, and he also called them to Lu Shaohua's residence, all kinds of signs indicate that Lu Shaohua has made a big move.
It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua did call Liu Mingzhang and them to deal with people, but they only dealt with not one, but four, four companies with prominent people in the United States. "I called you here for one purpose, and that is to buy shares in Microsoft, IBM, Dell, and Apple."
“……”
“……”
No one opened his mouth to say the first sentence, including Liu Mingzhang, who was very casual in front of Lu Shaohua, and he did not say the first sentence at this time, because the news that Lu Shaohua said was shocking enough, what company is Microsoft, IBM, Dell, and Apple, and the four of them are very clear.
With the continuous evolution of human civilization over the years, computers have become an indispensable part of life and office, and three of these four companies are computer manufacturers, and one is a computer system, and they also occupy the office software market, which is developing very rapidly, resulting in their stock price rising again and again in the market.
Lu Shaohua actually said at this time that he wanted to buy their shares, to say that in the past, Liu Mingzhang and they still thought it was just a trivial matter, but now, if there is no large amount of funds to back it up, it is impossible to fall the stock prices of those four companies, and finally acquire a large number of shares with a small amount of money.
Does the Phoenix Group have a lot of money now?
No, Liu Mingzhang can answer this question, although there are tens of billions of dollars in the funds flowing in the account, but don't look at the current situation of the Phoenix Group, it is a mess, it is when the money is used, it is impossible to withdraw funds.
As for the funds of Phoenix Finance, when Lu Shaohua assigned them tasks, they began to act, and the funds had already been divided, so it was impossible to move those funds, so when Lu Shaohua spoke, Liu Mingzhang also showed a look of embarrassment.
However, there is no fool in the people here, Lu Shaohua's proposal to acquire the shares of those four companies will definitely not be a whim, and thinking of the recent setbacks encountered by the Phoenix Group, they all suddenly understood that Lu Shaohua was retaliating.
Since it is revenge, with Lu Shaohua's surname, it is regardless of the results, even if it will affect the original plan, so in this stroke, Liu Mingzhang has already given birth to a plan to change the original plan.
"I will mobilize the funds that have been arranged first, and then invest in the arrangement after this is done." Liu Mingzhang made up his mind and said his suggestion.
However, will Lu Shaohua disrupt the arrangement of Asian countries by buying shares in four companies? The answer is obvious, with Lu Shaohua's attention to the Asian financial crisis in 97, how could he lose a big one because of a small one.
"There's no need for that." Lu Shaohua dismissed Liu Mingzhang's suggestion to change the plan in one sentence, and then glanced at Li Zongen and asked. "Zongen, how was your little fight over there?"
"It's okay, now I'm ready to shrink, and I want to gather all the funds and put them into the layout." Li Zongen said his plan.
"Hmm." Lu Shaohua nodded, according to the plan at that time, Li Zongen should indeed surround the funds, but when it comes to such a thing, Lu Shaohua has no choice but to make a small change to the plan and asked. "How much money do you have gathered there?"
Asking about the total amount of funds, Lu Shaohua's plan can already be understood, that is, to postpone the investment in the layout, first surround the funds, fight this battle, and then return the funds and reinvest them in the layout of Asian countries.
Li Zongen also heard what Lu Shaohua meant, nodded heavily, and said truthfully. "About $320 million."
$320 million seems like a lot, but it is obviously not enough to deal with four large companies, after all, the stock market is not the same as in reality, to use a small analogy, an unlisted company without a market value of $10 billion, if you want to acquire it, you only need to pay $10 billion or less to acquire it, but a $10 billion listed company can't, and you can't use $10 billion to acquire it on the stock market, otherwise, in the end, the acquisition fails, and it may be firmly trapped.
What is the market value of those four companies now, Lu Shaohua didn't pay attention, but they should have a market value of billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars now, and now their own funds are only 320 million dollars, and it seems a bit less to deal with four companies at the same time.
Liu Mingzhang thinks so, he thinks that 32 billion US dollars alone is too little, after all, the stock prices of the four companies are rising steadily, and it will cost a lot of money to suppress the stock prices, not to mention the final acquisition.
"$3.2 billion is too little, and I roughly estimate that it will take at least $60 billion to deal with four companies at the same time, so that we can have an absolute advantage." Liu Mingzhang said helplessly.
Hearing this, Lu Shaohua smiled faintly, and did not refute Liu Mingzhang's release, but asked a question that was irrelevant to the topic. "If you were to do it, what kind of method would you choose, well, talk about it, and give your opinion."
"The most primitive method is to raise their stock price, absorb enough goods, and then release the goods, suppress the stock price, and finally buy again, and buy the most shares with the smallest amount of capital." Li Yunqing was the first to speak when Lu Shaohua's voice just fell.
"Equally." Li Zongen echoed Li Yunqing's plan.
"Me too." Liu Mingzhang agreed.
Hearing this, Lu Shaohua had a light smile on his face, a look that I had expected a long time ago, and then said. "According to your method, I think the most expensive thing is to raise the stock price and absorb goods, right?"
Lu Shaohua is not a talent in finance, but he is a reborn person, and he has been rolling in the mall for so many years, so he naturally knows every detail in it, so he has this question.
"Indeed, the most wasteful of money is the stage of absorbing goods, after all, it is impossible to attract goods without raising the stock price, and we cannot buy their shares at a high price, and we can only use this method to suppress the stock price, and then buy shares." This time it was none other than Liu Mingzhang who answered.
"If we might save you the link of raising the stock price and let you directly suppress the stock price, can you deal with it with 32 billion US dollars?" Lu Shaohua asked with interest.
“……”
No one spoke, the scene was silent, and Lu Shaohua was the same, he didn't speak, but looked at the three of them with interest, watching their faces change.
And Liu Mingzhang and the three of them felt that they were all in the cloud at this time, and suddenly came to their senses, and at the same time, they also understood why Lu Shaohua didn't follow the topic just now, but changed the topic and asked them directly about their methods.
"Huh!" Liu Mingzhang smiled, but the smile on his face was even uglier than the instrument, sighed, and said. "It turns out that you have a plan, why are you hiding it from us, hey!"
Liu Mingzhang's words expressed the hearts of Li Zongen and Li Yunqing, and they all looked at Lu Shaohua, their eyes seemed to be about to eat Lu Shaohua, and there was a feeling of contempt for being played.
"Haha!"
Lu Shaohua laughed, in fact, he went around in such a big circle completely to test the three of them, now that the test is over, the plan given by the three of them coincides with Lu Shaohua's, and Lu Shaohua has nothing to think about.
Stop and start commanding the next link, Dao. "Zongen, when you go back later, gather all the funds, and make sure to complete it the morning after tomorrow."
"Understood."
"Mingzhang, you also prepare, use an offshore company, deploy personnel, and make all preparations."
"Okay."
"Yunqing, you stick to your post and don't do anything, well, by the way, take over the work of the inscription, he doesn't have much time these days, and he has to keep an eye on the situation in Asian countries."
"No problem."
"Okay, go back."
In the end, Lu Shaohua's sentence of 'go back' announced the dissolution, but outsiders didn't know that Phoenix Finance, a subsidiary of the Phoenix Group, was deploying troops, and an acquisition war against Microsoft, IBM, Dell, and Apple was officially launched.
