Chapter 356: Marc Frederick (1)

Adidas' 2.08% founder's shares, but who inherited it is a mystery.

Currently, 23.04% of the "global stocks" that Adidas "consigns" on the U.S. stock market are on the Chicago stock market, because Chicago is closer to Adidas headquarters in Portland. In fact, the Germans are still vaguely afraid of the legend of the "Wall Street predators", and subconsciously hide a little farther.

According to the unspoken rules of stock market trading, the maximum trading volume of the day is 1/3 of the issuance amount.

In other words, it only takes three trading days for Wall Street predators to definitely swallow Adi's "consignment stocks"!

This involves the history of Adidas.

In 1936, the Dassler brothers had the audacity to provide running shoes for Hitler's Berlin Olympics, thus making the "Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory" famous.

In 1945, at the end of World War II, his brother Rudolph was reported and convicted by his own brother, and because the business philosophy was too different, the shoe factory was finally divided equally. The elder brother Rudolph founded the "Puma" brand; The younger brother Adolf founded the "Adidas" brand, and the brothers began a long 25-year fierce competition until the younger brother died first.

Horst Dassler, the eldest son of his younger brother Adolf, took the throne and established a "pyramid-shaped" promotion model, and finally created Adi's decade of glory by signing contracts with sports teams.

How could such a wise Horst not foresee Adi's future?!

No one knew that Frank Dassler, the grandson of his brother Rudolph, chose to inherit the 2.08% of Adi's founder's shares, the "son of the enemy" Horst, and jumped to Adi, enduring the incomprehension and abuse and accusations of his relatives, and silently accumulating strength.

This is the dark chess game that Horst has laid out for the "Dassler Family Rebirth Plan".

"No matter how the previous generation fought, we are all members of the Dassler family, and we can legally inherit each other's property!"

This secret can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from a retired senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At the same time, while Usiris was carrying out the "Eagle Plan", the elder Mark was implementing the "Ussi Plan".

Just yesterday, on the morning of July 26, the old man Mark Frederick testified with the shares of Adi in hand, explained his plans for Adi's future, and added some additional clauses, and finally persuaded Frank Dassler to leave his signature on a 10-year "Asset Management Entrustment Agreement".

As for Party B's signature, it was left vacant for Ussy.

Once the founders' shares are traded, they lose their non-dilutable value, but they can be transferred to someone else's name and returned within a fixed period of time, usually 3-5 years.

10-year loan, well, this is used to clamp down on Adi's board of directors, so as not to cause trouble!

Currently, the ratio of shares in Adidas (Germany) is as follows.

1. The local Henkel Group controls 27.04% of the registered shares (including founders' shares and option stocks), and the local bearer shares are 24.96%.

2. Procter & Gamble Group of the United States controls 23.96% of the registered stocks, and 23.04% of the bearer stocks are released in the stock market.

Among them, the options are in the hands of hedge funds, and the scattered registered stocks are in the hands of industries closely related to the interests of Henkel Group and Adidas.

Therefore, one of the key points in the competition for Adi is on the founder's stock.

The local consortium, future planning, and additional terms are all indispensable, but Old Mark has them all!

On the afternoon of July 26, the elder Mark sat down at the negotiating table with several friends and Casper Rorsted, CEO of Henkel Group and chairman of Adidas.

The chips in the hands of Mark Sr. include: 24.96% of Adidas' bearer shares released outside the country, all of which were acquired; and a 31 percent stake in the Henkel Group, plus a 2.08 percent share in Adi's founders.

As for Adi's stock in Chicago, it has not been touched at all.

The rapid takeover rule, which wants to acquire company B under the name of company A, and uses a two-pronged approach to acquire the shares of company A and company B at the same time to force it to negotiate; During this time, there will be a huge investment that non-tycoons can't afford to play!

Old Mark first investigated the details of Adidas, formulated the "Ussi Plan", and tossed the shares of Henkel Group and Adidas in the name of a luxury cruise ship, an aircraft factory, a military machinery factory, a high-speed rail operating company, and companies in the four major military industries!

Regardless of your three-seven-twenty-one, fight first and then talk about it!

Big deal, I'll say sorry to you later!

Business is ruthless, and before there is no bargaining chip, door-to-door negotiation is self-inflicted!

Old Mark and Karpasia, both members of the branch of the Oldenburg family, can each find a backing, so it can only be a stalemate; Since the other party controls the controlling stake and can adjust the stock price at any time, the longer the time, the more serious the asset loss of the old Mark.

When Ussi was involved in the Sydney Olympics, that balance was upset!

After 900 years, the Oldenburg family is the oldest and most powerful aristocratic family in Germany, and there is no one of them, and the family members are all over the European royal family. The family's main industries are machine building and the military industry.

Adidas was originally just an insignificant small shoe factory, but in the past 20 years, it has been tied to the entire European and Brazilian media industry, plus there are some cooperation with North American media, and it has evolved into a "microphone" that influences the power of European discourse.

Europe's right to speak, this is too important!

As a result, the Oldenburg family had to step forward and move the "microphone" back to Berlin. As for the sneakers, sportswear, European league, or something, compared with the profits of the mechanical and military industry, it's a fart!

Officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are flying around the world, busy like butterflies, and their main job is military orders!

How the personal assets of the elder Mark came to be do not need to be explained in detail here!

Similar situation: the NBA group spans the world, connecting the media industry in many countries around the world, guess what, the Rockefeller family, as the lifeblood of American oil, will let others snatch their "microphone" at will?!

Let's get back to the point.

"All for the glory of Germany!"

After the persuasion, intimidation, and peace of mind by the personal representative of German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, the director of the German State Sports Administration, and several tycoons in the military industry, Casper had no choice but to bow his arrogant head and reach a preliminary agreement with the domineering and gloomy old Mark.

This kind of transaction is not at all something that a small man like Frank Dassler can participate in, so he does not need to intervene. (To be continued.) )
