Chapter 674: Sniping Fox
Just as Deng Lijun was recording his latest English record, Xu Guanwu also got on a plane and returned to Hong Kong.
The matter in the United States has been almost settled, and new shares of Fox have been issued a few days ago, totaling 20 million new shares. Of these, 10 million shares are issued internally and another 10 million shares are issued to the public.
Of the 10 million shares issued internally, Xu Guanwu subscribed for half of them himself, spending him more than $50 million. The remaining 5 million new shares were unsubscribed and could only be retained by the company for the time being.
After subscribing for 5 million shares, Xu Guanwu immediately asked the offshore company to sell the 5 million shares in his hand, and in addition to the 10 million new shares issued by Fox Company, the number of Fox shares circulating in the market suddenly increased, and the stock price immediately plummeted by more than 30 percent like a dive.
In response to this situation, those shareholders can't help but be disgusted with Darryl. Zaniuk scolded him for insisting on issuing new shares, which caused the stock price to fall by more than 30%, causing them to lose at least tens of millions of dollars. And now the offshore company that is frantically buying Fox shares is also selling shares, and it is clear that it has no intention of making any more acquisitions, which can't help but make those shareholders even more angry.
They also pointed to selling the stock at a high price to make a big profit, and now all the dreams of making a fortune were in vain, and for a time they gritted their teeth with hatred for Darryl, and they hated to tear down his old bones to make soup.
Although Darryl barely kept his chairmanship, but seeing that the stock was still falling vigorously, he couldn't hold up the market even if he wanted to, and seeing the stock price fall to worse than before it was acquired, Darryl couldn't help but want to slap himself in the mouth. Now he knows that the other party's acquisition is fake, but the peeling of the skin and bones is real.
Start by buying up the stock at a lower price. And then wait until it is absorbed to a certain extent. The acquisition was announced immediately. Forced listed companies to snap up stocks at high prices. Further inflating the market price of the stock. Then, when the stock price reaches a peak, the acquirer makes a big profit by selling off their shares.
This kind of chicken-like stock sniping behavior is specifically aimed at the kind of listed companies whose market value is far lower than the actual value, or where the shares held by major shareholders are too small to achieve absolute control over the company. 20th Century Fox has performed well in recent years, but the film environment is generally not good, so its market value is slightly lower than its actual value. Plus the majority shareholder Darryl. With just over 20% of the shares, Zaniuk is not able to achieve absolute control. That's why those speculators are given opportunities.
After this acquisition and anti-takeover, Xu Guanwu not only did not have any losses, but also made a lot of more than 10 million US dollars. And Darryl. In order to snap up the shares circulating in the market, Zaniuk not only spent the company's circulating funds, but also shrunk his net worth by more than 20%, and also caused tens of millions of losses to those shareholders who did not release the shares, which can really be called a heavy loss.
Just when the 20th Century Fox Company was in mourning, Xu Guanwu quietly asked the offshore company to continue to absorb Fox's shares at a low price, because he knew that the movie "ET" would be released soon. The film is a crazy money-making machine, and Fox, which is responsible for distributing the film, will surely turn it around. The stock price will skyrocket again in the near future, so now is the right time to buy the dip.
Darryl though this time the loss is heavy. But he managed to keep his chairmanship, and it stands to reason that he was relatively happy, and he didn't care too much about the plummeting stock prices. Now that 20th Century Fox is making a series of blockbuster works, especially "The Lord of the Rings" is being filmed, the stock price will definitely rise again, and he is full of confidence in the company's prospects.
But before he could be happy, the securities company called him again and said that the offshore company was now buying shares at a low price after selling five million shares. Hearing the news, Darryl was so hung up and vomited blood. He really wanted to go to the boss of that company and ask, "Are you in a relationship with me?" You don't buy so many listed companies in the United States, why do you toss us Fox? ”
Darryl knew that the company must have made money in this fierce battle, and now that the stock price was so low, they could easily swallow back the five million shares they had just spit out. Darryl had no choice but to carry out a reverse takeover again, he could not watch his company being bought by others.
So the two companies came and went in an instant, and the tug-of-war of acquisitions made people dizzy. Even Wall Street's best equity analysts can't tell why.
If that offshore company is to snipe stocks to make money, then it is not always against Fox Company, there are so many companies in the US stock market that are more worthy of being sniped, and it is guaranteed that one sniper will definitely make money. Secondly, the offshore company's approach is too obvious, if you snipe a stock, you should be as careful as possible at the beginning, don't let people discover their actions, and then wait for the acquisition to a certain extent before it suddenly breaks out.
How could it be like this offshore company, playing sniping with such fanfare, as if it was afraid that people would not notice. And its routine is also very simple, it is to invest a large amount of money in one go to frantically absorb stocks, resulting in an instant stock price increase. If 20th Century Fox does not return to buy back the shares that are circulating in the market at a higher price, then the company will always face the danger of being acquired. If it chooses to buy back the shares, it will sell the shares at a high price, and cut the meat of Fox back and forth.
Seeing that offshore company has repeatedly succeeded, Wall Street investors are also puzzled, why can such a simple and crude method be able to succeed frequently? Later, after analysis, they came to the conclusion that the offshore company had very strong funds and could gather enough funds to acquire Fox in a short period of time.
It is such a strong reserve of funds that makes its originally simple and crude sniping method able to be effective frequently. In the stock market, it is always the bookmaker who is winning, and who can be the bookmaker? Obviously, the person with the most money can be the bookmaker. The 20th Century Fox company is not as rich as the offshore company, so it is led by the nose when it comes back. Several acquisitions before and after. More than $100 million was scraped away. The 20th Century Fox Company even donated its working capital, causing shareholders to complain.
And Xu Guanwu, the mastermind behind the scenes, was hiding in the dark and laughing secretly, his acquisitions not only hurt the 20th Century Fox, but also doubled the money that Richard and David looted.
……
After Xu Guanwu returned to Hong Kong, he began to prepare to clean up Liu Luanxiong. This old boy Xu Guanwu once saw him a few years ago, at a Spring Festival party of Chaoshang businessmen, Liu Luanxiong was still a young man in the second middle school at that time, and he couldn't imagine becoming a playboy now. It's still a urine sex though. If you can't catch up with the girl, you can use the next three indiscriminate methods, which is really too inferior.
Although Xu Guanwu didn't want to have anything to do with Zhong Chuhong, he didn't want her to fall into Liu Luanxiong's hands, so he asked a flower to be inserted into the cow dung. (The author whispered: When the crow falls on the pig, neither of you will be black!) Then he was kicked by Xu Guanwu, "Let you talk too much, tell the truth!" So he must clean up Liu Luanxiong, so as not to cause trouble to Li Jiaxin, Cai Shaofen and other beauties in the future.
Liu Luanxiong is now opening an electric fan factory with his wife called Aimeco, specializing in exporting antique fans to European and American countries. Because of the energy crisis of the eighties. It makes people in Europe and the United States advocate energy conservation. Therefore, the sales of air conditioners and air conditioners with high power consumption have plummeted, but on the contrary, the sales of these electric fans have increased.
The Liu family originally produced electric fans. It's just that the export market has always been in third world countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America. When Liu Luanxiong wanted to sell antique electric fans to the United States, he was unanimously opposed by the whole family, thinking that he was simply seeking fish from a wood and whimsical. Liu Luanxiong believes in his own vision, and would rather run away from home and sell his wife's house to start a business.
Sure enough, it turned out that Liu Luanxiong's vision was right, antique electric fans were very popular in European and American countries, and Liu Luanxiong also made a lot of money because of it, and he had accumulated nearly 100 million assets in just a few years, and his reputation greatly exceeded his own Liu family, and he also grabbed the name of "electric fan Liu".
It's just the so-called warm and thoughtful desire, although Liu Luanxiong's wife is shrewd and capable, and she is a big helper in his business, but it's a pity that her appearance can only be ordinary. Liu Luanxiong is a little greedy and lustful, so he often finds some young ladies behind his back to put out the fire, but the young ladies in the nightclub are tired of playing, and he suddenly became interested in those female stars on the screen.
There are also prostitution agents in the entertainment industry who specialize in helping the rich pimp, which is reflected in the movie "The Mirror of the Art World" and "The Call List". Liu Luanxiong's romantic reputation has spread all over the world, and he is now a famous rich man in the city, so naturally many prostitutes surround him like flies chasing the smell.
Liu Luanxiong hit it off with them, and he had a good taste of the demeanor of these actresses in bed. After playing, Liu Luanxiong tasted the marrow, and felt that although he spent a little more money playing female stars, it was indeed much more enjoyable than playing a nightclub lady. However, the actresses he plays are all third- and fourth-tier young actors, and they are ordinary. After playing a few games, Liu Luanxiong felt that he was not addicted anymore and wanted to develop in a higher direction.
At this time, he suddenly discovered Zhong Chuhong, Zhong Chuhong is the third runner-up of the new Miss Oriental, her beauty is needless to say, and her temperament is also first-class, and more importantly, Liu Luanxiong can see that she is still a chick, which is undoubtedly as attractive as a small piece of fresh meat for him, a big cesium wolf, so Liu Luanxiong named her.
Those pimping prostitutes can see that although Zhong Chuhong is taking a sexy route, she is quite conservative. Her sexiness is more often based on temperament, rather than on her open breasts and exposed flesh as a selling point. So if a girl like this wants her to go to the sea, she must first go through some training.
That's why they paid the people in the Shaw Brothers production department to arrange for her to star in a nude scene first. After she gets used to being naked in front of the camera, it will be much easier to let her go into the sea when the time comes. In fact, many people who sit on high-level call girls are first porn stars at the beginning, thinking about becoming famous as soon as they take off, but after taking off their clothes, they do not become famous, but they are under huge pressure. Therefore, there was a broken can and a broken mentality, and since then she has embarked on the road of answering the girl.
What these prostitutes never expected was that Zhong Chuhong would be so bold and resolutely refused the request to appear in a nude scene. Liu Luanxiong heard that Zhong Chuhong was so strong, and his interest in her not only did not decrease, but increased. So I have increased the price and want to kiss the beauty. The prostitutes and the high-level officials of the Shaw Brothers were seduced by money, so they tossed Zhong Chuhong so much until she was sent abroad by Xu Guanwu.
Liu Luanxiong still misses Zhong Chuhong, and continues to increase the price and send people to look for her everywhere, but although they found her whereabouts in the United States, they can't tie her back. And the Zhong family in Hong Kong has long been favored by Xu Guanwu. Several people were sent out to harass the Zhong family, but they were all knocked out by people hiding in the shadows, and the boss who originally collected the money and planned to help him also retreated.
When Liu Luanxiong was wondering who was hiding behind Zhong Chuhong to support her, Xu Guanwu was digging a pit for Liu Luanxiong. (To be continued......)
