654.Chapter 653 The acting skills are top-notch
Although I did not mention a single word of this point of view in my speech, I have already explained it by standing here. I don't need to explain these words myself, and the "analysts" of the media all over the world will help me to express this point of view.
Finally, when I was about to finish my speech, I told the media and announced in a very sincere tone: I hope that the small shareholders who hold the shares of Aode can believe in the sincerity of MAK, MAK hopes to make Aode have a better development, and has the ability to let the shareholders obtain greater benefits, and at the same time, MAK is willing to buy the shares of these small shareholders in the hands of these small shareholders with a standard higher than the market price of 2 (percent) mark, or exchange favorable terms for their shares.
When I said this last paragraph, I couldn't help but think of scenes from those war movies I used to watch when I was a child. I felt like the PLA soldier standing on the opposite side of the enemy's trench in a movie, shouting: Brothers, if you resist with Chiang Kai-shek's reactionaries to the end without good results, the PLA will give preferential treatment to prisoners.
This speech took me half an hour, and I did everything in my power to attack Li Zhengtang, belittle Li Zhengtang's ability and Aode's decision-making mistakes. After that, it's time to answer questions from reporters.
The first to ask was Jelina. Because I knew her well, I gave her a preferential treatment and let her be the first to ask questions.
Jelina smiled and asked me: "May I ask Mr. Yin Ran, if MAK's acquisition of Aode is successful, who will be the new president of Aode after the acquisition?" Is that you? If that's the case, then is this a high-profile comeback for you? Because you were originally the former president of Aode Corporation. ”
I smiled: "First of all, MAK is full of confidence in this acquisition plan, we have made very careful arrangements in advance, but after all, things have just begun, and the board of directors has not yet decided who will be the next president of Aode, but at least I can be sure that the next president will definitely not be Mr. Li Zhengtang." ”
My little humor immediately made everyone in the audience laugh.
I then smiled and said: "I personally have no special interest in the position of president of Aode Company, but there is an indisputable fact in front of everyone, I think within MAK Company, I should be the person who has the deepest understanding of the operation of Aode Company." Therefore, I am confident that the Board of Directors of Odd will fully consider this situation at that time. In fact, I can openly tell you here today that the reason why I left Aode and left the main hall was because I personally had many different opinions about the business strategy of Aode and Mr. Li Zhengtang. Personally, I think that if Mr. Li Zhengtang had listened to my opinion earlier, then the stock price of Aode should definitely not be 12 euros now, it should have been 21 euros a long time ago! ”
Jelina immediately asked very cooperatively: "Then can I understand that you think you are more suitable than Mr. Li Zhengtang for the operation of Aode Company?" ”
I didn't answer her directly, but smiled and made an analogy: "A good business should be handed over to a good entrepreneur, just like a ship must have a good captain." If this is not the case, no matter how good a ship is, it will be overturned by the wind and waves sooner or later. ”
Jelina's question was actually deliberately cooperating with me to create momentum. Putting aside our personal relationship, as an American media, of course we will help American companies speak.
The reporter who immediately asked the question was obviously a pro-Zhengtang view of the media.
A reporter from a French media stood up and asked: "Although Mr. Yin Ran said that MAK will have a better way to operate Aode, as far as we know, as a venture capital fund, although MAK has planned and directly participated in the merger of several companies in the past few years, the result is that the stock price will be raised immediately after the merger is successful, and then the company will be dismantled and sold to make a profit!" That is to say, MAK has never been in the habit of running a business in a traditional way, and there has never been such an example. Such a move is naturally profitable for the MAK company, but if you buy the company and sell it immediately, it will be a blow to the French economy. May I ask Mr. Yin Ran, according to what you just said, can I understand that MAK officially announced that it promised that it would never dismantle Aode Company? ”
This question is a bit aggressive.
And the question is very poignant, making it difficult for me to answer.
If I had replied to him that MAK was indeed preparing to dismantle Aude afterwards, it would have caused a total boycott of MAK in the French press, and then, under the patriotic slogans of these French media, not a small shareholder would dare to openly sell their shares to MAK. Although this is good for me and Li Zhengtang. Anyway, our goal is to deliberately make this MAK acquisition plan fail. But it will cause Guan Bo's great dissatisfaction, and even cause Guan Bo's suspicion of me.
But if I answer that MAK won't sell Odeh, then Guan Bo will blame me too. Because according to his original plan, it was indeed to dismantle and sell Odd as soon as the acquisition was successful. If I say that now, it will be tantamount to losing Mak credibility in the future. As a Western enterprise, credit is one of the most important capitals of a business. If a company has no credit, it will not survive in the Western world. This is something that many of our domestic enterprises cannot experience.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Regarding the future dismantling and sale, I think it is a very distant topic. Obviously, this gentleman is very confident in our MAK acquisition plan, otherwise he would not have asked us what we would do with Odd before we completed the acquisition. ”
I slurred these words, and by the way, I gave him a hand, and made the reporters burst into laughter.
I then said, "We at MAK have a very detailed aftercare plan for the aftermath of a successful acquisition. And I think it's very beneficial for Odd or for all shareholders. But about the content of this plan, it is not convenient for me to disclose it now, because it is a trade secret. I smiled faintly, then retracted my smile, and said in a deep voice: "However, I need to explain one thing now, regardless of whether we will dismantle and sell Aode in the future, if according to the current situation of Aode, the company has been crumbling, and the company is facing a crisis." At this time, even if we don't interfere, it won't take long, and when Li Zhengtang can't support it, he himself will be forced to dismantle and sell Aode Company first! I think you should be able to understand that. ”
Then I answered questions from several reporters one after another, and slowly, several reporters turned the subject to me personally, and it seemed that they were more interested in my personal affairs than in the affairs of Aodeh. Indeed, my personal experience is already a legend. A senior executive of the main hall company suddenly defected to MAK, and then immediately entered the top management of MAK, and became the son-in-law of the president of MAK, and finally returned to the main hall with a large amount of money.
There are so many things involved, status, power, money, love. And so on and so forth. All of these things add up to make a Hollywood blockbuster.
Finally, I looked at the time, and then gestured to Amanda with my eyes, and Amanda understood and immediately announced that it was time for the press conference to end. Then very politely ask those who let them go. The reporters were still grinding around for a long time, and the cameras and camcorders kept flashing at me. At Amanda's repeated urgings, they stopped to pack their things.
After the reporters left, I immediately received a call from Lin Lan.
"Yes, I'm watching TV, and you're doing a great job. The acting is absolutely top-notch. Lin Lan said with a smile on the phone.
I didn't speak.
Lin Lan's voice continued with a smile: "Cunning and witty, retreat is advance. My dear, who did you learn so many tricks with? ”
I casually said into the phone, "Honey, you taught me all this.
I squinted at the numbers that kept jumping on my computer screen, my brow furrowed.
Byrne sat in front of the computer, still holding a cigarette in his hand, the cigarette was almost burned, and the ashtray next to him was already full of cigarette butts.
"Something doesn't seem right." He muttered again, sticking out his tongue and licking his chapped lips.
I took a deep breath and whispered, "Something is wrong. ”
It's been four days.
Immediately after the press conference that day, we launched an attack on the stock market.
Byrne sold off the stocks that had been hoarded with those anonymous accounts in advance, and smashed them out, and in less than half a day, the stock in my hand dropped from 150 million to about 80 million. Under Bourne's onslaught, the price of Odd's stock immediately began to dive, and after a brief wait-and-see period, retail investors immediately began to collapse and sell their holdings of Odd shares. In just one day, the price of Odd's shares fell to the euro per share.
Before the close of the day, Li Zhengtang made a gesture of protecting the disk, he took out some of the money to buy it aggressively, and at the same time, I asked Bourne to use several other anonymous accounts to quietly eat Odd shares in a sell-off tide, so as to hoard the next stage of chips, which supported Odd's plunge. Before the market closed, the stock price of Odd finally began to recover, slowly rising to the 11.7 level.
On this day, Odd's share price fell by three cents of euros. According to this market price, Li Zhengtang and we both have a net loss of tens of millions. At the end of the day, I couldn't help but smile wryly and shook my head: "Damn, this founding is simply throwing bundles of money into the toilet!"
The media, who had a good relationship with MAK that night, couldn't wait to announce that MAK's offensive was ferocious, and Li Zhengtang was powerless to resist. Immediately, Li Zhengtang held a press conference and announced that Zhengtang would never give up and would swear to protect Aode's right to control. The two sides immediately engaged in a verbal exchange in the media.
