Chapter 161: Acquisition of Osborne

Listan Initiates Takeover Offer to Privatize Osborne Group

Early the next morning, a piece of news caused a lot of waves, but this was also expected by many people.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Si led a group of people to the downstairs of the Osborne Building.

The first was Li Si himself, followed by Peberpotz, and then there were more than a dozen financial and legal advisers, all dressed as elites.

"Mr. Listan, please inside."

A middle-aged white man, a small shareholder who is also one of Osborne's management, greeted Lees and the others at the door with a smile on his face.

"Hmm."

Li Si gestured, and then led the group straight in.

He has been in Osborne for a long time, and he is naturally no stranger to this, and he does not need this small shareholder to lead the way, so he will go upstairs with a familiar car.

"This is Listan? Feels so young. ”

"That's right, he was my colleague before the cross-species genetics department was abolished, and he sat next door to me."

"He seems to have only turned eighteen years old, and he is more popular than others, and he has become the largest shareholder of our group."

"What is the major shareholder, maybe in a few days, our Osborne Group may change its name to the Listan Group."

"Instead of worrying about this, let's think about ourselves, I don't know if Listan will lay off employees after he takes over, he is not very friendly to the Osborne Group."

"Won't you...... He's just trying to get revenge on his friends Max Dylan and Dr. Curt Connors for the Osborne family and the directors, what does it have to do with us......

Li Si and the others traveled all the way, attracting the attention and whispers of many people along the way, until a group of people entered the elevator, and the surrounding whispers disappeared without a trace, and the tranquility was restored.

Bite!

After about a few minutes, the elevator doors opened, and a group of mermaids rushed out.

Not far from the elevator is the conference room, and the long conference table inside is already full of directors and senior management of all sizes.

Lees came in and sat down at the head of the table, while Peber Potz and a host of other personnel stood behind him for the time being.

"Long time no see, Mr. Storm, you don't seem to look good today."

As soon as Lees sat down, he smiled and greeted Mendelstrom, who was in the first position on his right.

Mendelstom grimaced and did not speak.

Seeing this, Li Si was no longer bored, raised his hand and asked Peber Potz to direct the people to deliver the documents to everyone at the conference table, and then went straight to the point.

"I believe that my purpose is also very clear to you, so I will not talk nonsense, I am ready to buy back all the shares of Osborne at a premium of 20%, and start voting directly."

Li Si looked around, swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then said in a deep voice.

Bang!

"Don't you think about it!"

Mendelstrom, who was already gloomy, finally couldn't help it, and slapped the table directly, staring at Li Si coldly.

After enduring it for so many years, he survived Norman Osborne, and successfully drove Harry Osborne, who had nothing to do, out of the group.

Originally, he was proud of this time, and although Osborne's stock price plummeted, he finally succeeded in controlling the Osborne Group.

But all this was ruined by the young man in front of him.

It was the young man in front of him who was about the same age as Harry Osborne, but his years of forbearance and scheming were in vain, and all the ducks in his mouth were snatched away.

Rumble!

There was a louder slap on the table than before, followed by a clattering and cracking sound.

"Mr. Storm, it seems that not only do you have a bad complexion, but you are also not in good health, and you have no strength to slap the table."

Lees stared at Mendelstom with a smile and slowly withdrew his right hand that was slapping on the table.

The scene at the conference table in front of him made everyone present twitch.

A layer of glass four or five millimeters thick spread on the conference table was directly slapped by this slap, causing a large spiderweb-like crack, and a large piece of the corner of the table was even cracked and fell to the ground.

Where had a group of businessmen who usually relied on their mouths to eat seen this kind of posture, and their faces immediately changed a little.

"I'm sorry, I'm just showing Mr. Storm the proper posture of slapping the table."

Li Si looked like he had just realized his mistake, and with a smile he made a clumsy excuse and explained: "I accidentally used too much force...... Well, that's right, overexertion. ”

"It's okay."

A group of directors echoed in unison, not too frightened, but their breathing was noticeably shorter.

A wisp of cold sweat gradually appeared on Mendelstome's forehead at this time, and then he remembered that what he was facing was not a kind businessman, let alone a young man like Harry Osborne who let him bully.

Eventually, with an ugly face, he sat down silently again.

"Let's get straight to the point, and everyone starts voting."

Li Si had a smile on his face and looked at everyone quietly.

"I refuse."

It was Mendelstrom who spoke first, and he looked at the shareholders next to him.

He didn't dare to make a radical move, at least not when he was personally present, but it was obviously impossible for him to give up so easily.

Li Si naturally knew this, and he didn't plan to use any threat of force, but just waited quietly with a smile on his face for the other shareholders who were hesitating to make a decision.

It was useless for Mendelstom to refuse alone, and since he now had 40 percent of Osborne's shares in the outstanding shares acquired by the market, and Mendelstom had 15 percent at most, it was impossible to stop him without uniting with the other shareholders.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Under Mendelstrom's incredulous gaze, several directors around him hesitated for a moment and then agreed in a deep voice.

With a few people taking the lead, the other directors also nodded their heads and issued a series of agreeing voices.

"Thank you for your support and cooperation."

A smile bloomed on Lees' face.

This result did not surprise him, in fact, it was already a foregone conclusion.

Osborne's large group of shareholders had already been screened by Norman Osborne, leaving behind all the investors he had eaten to death and just wanted to make money honestly.

Now Osborne's market value has shrunk by half, and even if Li Si gives up the acquisition, this half may not be maintained, and these people naturally cannot stumble on Osborne's ship that is about to capsize, and the acquisition at a premium of 20% is already beyond imagination.

Moreover, several of the shareholders who are close to Mendelstom have also been interviewed by Leese before, and as long as they agree to the acquisition, Lees's five-percent stake in Stark Group will be theirs.

With Osborne's uncertain prospects on one side, a 20 percent premium acquisition and a 5 percent stake in Stark Group on the other, fools know how to choose.

Now the Stark Group is in full swing with the rise of Iron Man, I don't know how many people want to get involved, and five percent of the shares are at least more than 10 billion, and with these five percent of the shares, they can at least enter Stark's management, and the implied value is not comparable to 10 billion alone.

"Miss Potts, I'll take care of the rest."

Signaling Peber Potz to take charge of the next thing, Li Si stood up with a spring breeze on his face.

Although the price paid was not small, he was obviously in a good mood at this time.

He had no interest in the Stark Group, and those shares were only some money in his hands, and it was definitely not a loss to successfully privatize Osborne, and these shares were bought for this purpose, and he didn't want to keep a bunch of thorns in his company.

As for whether this group of people will take these shares and divide them equally or sell them or unite to make trouble with Stark Group, it is none of his business, anyway, the board of directors of Stark Group is also complicated, and there are too many lice to itch.
