Chapter 553: Infighting
"Li, that's not what I said, it's impossible to make a hasty decision on any business, isn't it a common thing to wait for a few days? Some negotiations may even take several years to complete. ”
Henry wanted to say more, but Li Lin's words interrupted him, "I'm not a business, you and I just spend a lot of money to support the iPhone." ”
Henry shut up.
He understands business, but he doesn't understand a daughter.
He is just the manager of VC, and his salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year has not yet reached the point where he can make a thousand dollars, but just because he doesn't understand it doesn't mean that he hasn't seen it.
It is not for nothing that a rich man suddenly wants something so much that he spends a lot of money, but then he loses interest and sells it as garbage.
It's called being rich and being capricious.
Li Lin said that he supported the iPhone with his daughter, and he didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to gamble on Apple's stock.
Floating 20% is to make money, he has merit, but if he can't sell Apple's shares, he is a sinner of the VC, the former may make him receive a good bonus, but the latter may make him lose the job in front of him, the VC will not allow the manager who has failed the task to save under his system.
“10%。”
Henry said decisively, "As long as the price rises by 10%, the 7% stake held by our VC will be sold to you, and you can sign a contract immediately." ”
Li Lin didn't reply, but sighed lazily, his gaze crossed Henry, and fell on the others, "What about your offer?" ”
"Up to 5%." After finding out Li Lin's thoughts, Galio directly kicked the pathfinder Henry away. "You only need to go up 5%, and you can get 11% of Apple's shares in Sequoia Capital."
"You."
Henry glared at Galio.
What is he doing here? If he dares to shout 5% if he dares to 10%, is this demolition?
"What am I?" Galio sneered. "Everyone sells stocks, each sells according to their strength, you have to go up by 10%, but we only need 5%, this is no problem!"
Nothing is wrong?
The problem is big, Galio is clearly stepping on his corpse to sell stocks, what will he do after he sells it? Bet that Li Lin still has the rest of the funds to buy the shares in his hand?
One is not good. He had to get out of the VC fund and lose his good salary.
“4%。”
Henry gritted his teeth, "Our VC fund only needs Li you to give me a 4% price to take away 7% of the Apple shares in our hands." ”
“3%。”
Galio is imperative. Apple's stake has put pressure on Sequoia Capital, which desperately needs to dispose of the business, even if it is a parity sale, and the lost profits will be replaced by the profits that Guò has drawn from Apple in previous years. Of course. Sequoia Capital inevitably suffered losses.
This loss is on the bill, and it also shows that investors' confidence in Sequoia Capital has been shaken, so they can't delay it, and doing their best is the king.
"Parity."
Just as the two were arguing, a voice interjected, and Larry of the Blackstone Fund said lightly, "We can sell Apple shares at the market price, and we hold 17% of Apple's shares in our hands." ”
"Larry."
"Blackstone."
Henry and Galio, who had just competed with each other, suddenly shared the same hatred. I want to kick Larry to death.
"Damn the Blackstone Bandits."
Because the Blackstone Fund supports the hostile acquisition of other companies by the companies it invests in, it is called a Blackstone robber in the Wall Street fund.
They do it to protect their profits. The support for the enterprises they invest in is so strong that other funds simply can't do it.
Like Cisco, they are the ones who have supported it.
The reason why Cisco was able to swallow up many small businesses and become a behemoth is due to the Blackstone Fund.
There is no money, and the Blackstone Fund is funded; There is no manpower, and the Blackstone Fund will help you dig it; In response to the investigation, the Blackstone Fund came forward, they are like a gardener who cares for the flowers and plants, and they love the flowers and plants they planted with their own hands, and they immediately put up a protective umbrella as soon as there is a disturbance, and they don't give others a chance to fight it at all.
Any company that moves it to invest in is tantamount to working against it, and this domineering style has led other Wall Street funds to call it a Blackstone bandit.
It means that the means are brutal.
"How's that, Lee, interested in acquiring our 17% stake in Apple from Blackstone?" Larry chuckled, and his smug gaze swept over Henry and Galio's faces, and finally fixed on Li Lin's body.
"This kind of opportunity is rare."
Li Lin groaned.
Larry's words are not wrong, it is indeed rare to buy stocks according to the stock price, and anyone who holds the stock in his hand will not be able to sell it at the original price when faced with others wanting to buy his own stock, which is a mentality of maximizing profits, and it is normal to go back on his word.
As for absorbing from the market, it is also impossible.
Small-scale absorption is possible, but once a large-scale absorption is carried out, it will inevitably cause stock price fluctuations in the market, so that those shareholders will join the ranks of panic buying, and the stock price will further rise.
You know, investors are very keen, and when they find that there is a large market that is absorbing shares, they will have all kinds of associations, and these associations are not conducive to his absorption of Apple shares.
As for hiding, hehe, that's something that only an absolute layman would say.
Absorb a large number of stocks, even if you implement it through countless anonymous accounts, once it is reflected in the market, it will still be reflected.
Stockholders are not stupid, a certain stock suddenly traded in large quantities, even if it is an anonymous account, they will be aware of it, and when the time comes, a large number of retail investors will join it to absorb stocks, and the stock will inevitably rise.
Unless you sell stocks while absorbing them, but there is a premise here, that is, you have a lot of stocks in your hands, and Li Lin has them? He didn't.
If he had, he would not have bought shares in Wall Street funds through Guò Bank.
Compared with the stocks in the stock market, Wall Street funds have a larger number of stocks in their hands, and after the transaction, as long as they are not disclosed, they will not cause a rebound in the market at all.
And this kind of transaction, if Li Lin wants not to disclose it, he can hide it until the end of the year when the major companies release their financial statements, and even as long as he wants, he can even sign an agreement with the Blackstone Fund to hand over this part of the stock to the Blackstone Fund for management, in this way, even if Apple announces the financial statements at the end of the year, no one will know that there is a huge number of stock transactions.
But he didn't speak.
Because there was one other person present who did not speak.
Buying and selling, you have to shop around, Morgan Stanley hasn't opened his mouth yet, he is not in a hurry to make a decision.
Li Lin didn't open his mouth, and the other three funds were embarrassed to speak, even if it was to cut off the beard, it also depended on Li Lin's attitude, if Li Lin didn't plan to finalize the purchase agreement, who are they performing to cut the beard?
They won't perform a play without an audience.
"Huh."
Richard broke the silence with an unpredictable smile, "Morgan Stanley is willing to sell a 27% stake in Apple at 90% of the market price." ”
"Richard."
Larry 'Ho' opened his mouth and glared at Richard, "You want to stir things up? ”
"It's just selling the stock on behalf of the customer." Richard still had an unpredictable smile on his face, "What, everyone competes fairly, is there anything that can't be done?" ”
"The argument of stirring up the situation is a little ugly."
Richard picked up a cup of tea, took a sip gently, and looked at Li Lin with a leisurely look, "How about it, Li, this price is enough to make your heart move!" ”
"It's exciting."
Li Lin glanced at the other three, expecting their price reduction.
But to his regret, the other three only glared at Richard, instead of opening their mouths to lower the price.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Lin understood.
Morgan Stanley, which Richard represents, simply sells shares on behalf of clients, and they can take a cut of the shares, regardless of the amount sold, as long as it is not lower than expected.
And VC, Sequoia, and Blackstone are cutting meat.
Selling at the current price is already cutting meat, and if it is lowered, the blood will flow more, and they will inevitably need to think about it, so they did not lower the price.
They don't have the authority to lower prices.
"Three, don't you know what other good news you have to tell me?" Li Lin said: "If not, I will make a deal with Mr. Richard of Morgan Stanley." ”
27% of the shares is enough for him to become the majority shareholder of the board of directors.
As for how these shares came from, it is nothing more than Apple's shareholders who are already bleeding when they see the plummeting stocks in their hands, so they plan to flee Apple.
And they also knew that selling their shares in the stock market was nothing more than continuing to drive down Apple's stock price, and it would not help them to escape, so they asked Morgan Stanley to sell these shares, hoping to find a buyer.
Li Lin speculated that Morgan Stanley's shareholder in the sale of Apple shares was not one director, but several directors, otherwise it would not have produced such a share as high as 27%.
"I'm sorry, Lee, I need to ask the above, if you don't mind waiting, please allow me to talk to the upper side now."
"Lee, please give me a moment, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Lee, I'm sorry, I can't call the shots, I need to ask the above."
The three of them said in unison, and then glanced at each other sharply, and they all glared at each other.
"Yes." Li Lin said: "But I may have to sign a contract with Mr. Richard of Morgan Stanley first, of course, after the acquisition of 27% of Apple's shares, I don't have much money in my hands, if you want to impress me, you must come up with a low enough price, without a low enough price, it will not be able to impress me, by the way, I will buy up to 10% of the shares, and I will stop the acquisition of Apple shares after acquiring 10% of the shares, there is only one opportunity, don't miss it!" (To be continued......)
