Chapter 317: Hostile Takeovers Goes to War
Fang Ruoning knew that Rachel's stop was unsuccessful, and it was two days later.
Zhao Linlang already holds 30% of the issued shares of the Huo Group through securities trading on the stock exchange, and according to the regulations, if he wants to continue to buy the Huo family, he should issue a takeover offer to all shareholders of the Huo Group in accordance with the law - and Zhao Linlang did so.
At the regular meeting of the board of directors, Geller no longer concealed it, and directly expressed his intention to acquire, and before the meeting was over, the news had been circulating in the company, and I don't know which director revealed the news.
In the company's internal communication group, there was an uproar!
"My intention is in place, if there are directors who are willing to sell their shares, and I am willing to buy them at a reserve price about 30% higher than the market price, you should know very well what this means, you will definitely make a lot of money." Regardless of the presence of Huo Lingxiao in the chairman's position, Geller directly threw an olive branch to the directors, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was bound to win.
For a while, the audience was in an uproar, and the faces of the directors changed greatly, and they began to discuss one after another.
Chen Hang sat beside Huo Lingxiao, and when he heard this, he was also shocked in his heart.
After secretly confronting each other for so long, the enemy finally didn't even want the last fig leaf and declared war directly.
Glancing at Huo Lingxiao cautiously, seeing that his face was the same, he didn't seem surprised at all that Geller would issue a declaration of hostile takeover at today's meeting.
After a sensational discussion, all the directors quickly quieted down and turned their eyes to Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao, who has always been domineering, is even more cold at this time, and his eyebrows are indescribably harsh and sharp, knowing that everyone is waiting for him to make a statement, but he is still not in a hurry, and he is secretly silent for a while, before he hooks his lips indifferently with disdain, and his cold and sharp eyes slowly move to Zhao Linlang, "Thank you that Mr. Geller can afford Huo's family, and he has been thinking about it for so long, and he finally understands his purpose-however, he can't be a big fat man if he eats it carefully, but chokes to death." ”
Although Huo Lingxiao did not explicitly oppose this, the meaning was also very clear, and all the directors present immediately looked at each other.
Apparently, in the face of Geller's lure of high prices, someone wavered.
The atmosphere reached this point, it could no longer be sustained, Chen Hang looked left and right, and got up: "This is the end of today's meeting, let's adjourn, please continue the affairs at hand and don't be affected by some remarks." ”
The directors had their own ghosts, and as soon as they heard that the meeting was dismissed, they all got up and left.
Zhao Linlang sat in place and did not move.
After the rest of the people left, he stood up unhurriedly and looked at Huo Lingxiao: "Mr. Huo, I know you won't agree, but now, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, I came prepared, with sufficient funds, this battle will undoubtedly be won!" ”
Huo Lingxiao smiled and looked at him, "Really?" Until the last minute, it is not certain who will lose and who will win. ”
Zhao Linlang also smiled incomprehensibly, turned around and left.
In the conference room, only Huo Lingxiao and Chen Hang were left.
"Mr. Huo......" Chen Hang looked at the boss worriedly and called in a deep voice.
"Go back to the office first."
"Yes."
Outside the president's room, there were already several directors waiting with the senior management, and when they saw Huo Lingxiao coming, they all greeted him, "Mr. Huo!" ”
"Mr. Huo!"
Chen Hang stepped forward quickly, pushed open the door of the president's room, Huo Lingxiao walked in with a cold face, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.
Fang Ruoning went to the legal department to talk about things, and immediately rushed back to the sixty-sixth floor after getting the news, and just got out of the elevator and saw that Chen Hang was about to close the door, so he hurriedly stepped forward, "Secretary Chen!" ”
Chen Hang saw her, looked back at the office, and came out again: "Fang Zhu." ”
"What's going on? Geller made it clear that he wanted to buy the company? Fang Ruoning's heart was beating in a panic, and he subconsciously glanced at the office, and saw several people inside, and he could feel the oppressive atmosphere from such a distance.
Chen Hang also pressed his eyebrows and nodded, "Moreover, he also made it clear that he wanted to buy the shares in the hands of shareholders at a high price." ”
"So what do we do now?"
Chen Hang looked sad and shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Huo doesn't look like he's in a hurry, and I don't know what plans are in his heart." ”
The two were silent, and Chen Hang said again: "I'll go in first, listen to what Mr. Huo means, and you can talk about it later." ”
"Okay."
Chen Hang turned around and entered the president's room, closed the door, and Fang Ruoning stood outside for a while, unable to come back to his senses.
The brain was a little deprived of oxygen, the dizziness came again, and even her heart was a little panicked, she hurriedly walked to the table and held it, sat down slowly, took a deep breath, and calmed the chaotic heartbeat.
The door to the president's room closed and opened again, two hours later.
The faces of all the directors and executives were serious and worried, and Fang Ruoning looked at it, probably not discussing a good result.
Chen Hang also came out, but did not go back to his office, but entered the elevator with several directors, she originally wanted to stop and ask something, but she didn't have a chance, paused, turned her head to look at the president's office, hesitated slightly, and walked over.
Without knocking on the door, she went in directly and saw the tall and slender but somewhat lonely and stiff figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
With a dull ache in her heart, she stepped forward and walked towards the figure.
"Ling Xiao......" she gently called out as she put her hand through the crook of his arm and gently hooked it out.
Huo Lingxiao seemed to be thinking about something, and he was a little distracted, and he didn't come back to his senses until she grabbed his arm, and his face was obviously shocked.
Turning around, he looked at his wife's bright and beautiful face, his heart calmed down, raised his hand and brushed the hair on the corner of her forehead, and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Ate some. What about you, what do you want to eat? ”
"I'm not hungry yet, let's talk about it when I'm hungry."
Although he concealed it well, Fang Ruoning saw the worry hidden in his eyes, raised his hand to hold his other hand, and she simply asked directly: "Zhao Linlang has a billion dollars in his hand, if he wants a hostile takeover, there will definitely be shareholders who give up their shares, theoretically, as long as he can occupy more than half of the shares in his hand, he can reorganize the board of directors and achieve the purpose of the acquisition-Ling Xiao, what should we do?" ”
The news has already spread throughout the company, and it may have spread in the circle, Huo Lingxiao is not surprised that she will know.
Seeing that her face was worried and her eyes were frowning, Huo Lingxiao held her hand and smiled: "Wife, if I really have nothing, will you still follow me?" ”
Fang Ruoning's eyes shook fiercely and threw him into his arms, "You won't have nothing, you still have me and Xuanxuan!" "Also, the baby in her womb.
At this moment, Fang Ruoning really wanted to tell him the good news, she was pregnant! She's pregnant again!
In a few months, they will be a family of four, they will be a happy family, he will not have nothing!
Huo Lingxiao was hugged by her, stroked the back of her head with his big palm, and when he heard this, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face: "Yes, you are right, I will not have nothing, I have you and my son, and if I have you, I will be rich enough." ”
"Hmm!" The woman raised her head and looked at him with a determined gaze, the corners of her eyes slightly moist.
Huo Lingxiao frowned, lowered his eyes and smiled to reassure: "Don't worry, the worst result is nothing more than this, there is nothing to be afraid of, besides, there is a way to deal with it now." ”
"And what else can I do?" Fang Ruoning's eyes lit up with doubts.
"Hmm."
The two separated slightly, and Huo Lingxiao explained: "The directors and executives who came to me just now, they are all loyal servants of the Huo family, and they have a good personal relationship with me, it is impossible for them to forget their righteousness, so Zhao Linlang is not so quick to acquire." At present, the anti-takeover measures we can take, that is, the issuance of new shares and the acquisition of outstanding shares, the issuance of new shares, can dilute the equity, so that Zhao Linlang wants to continue the acquisition will have to pay greater costs, the acquisition of the issued shares, can increase the chips in my hand - Huo's has spare funds, at a critical time, as long as more than half of the directors vote, I can use the funds, so we have not yet reached the time when we are helpless. ”
After hearing this, Fang Ruoning quickly understood, nodded, and his serious and nervous face relaxed a little: "Then if you do this, what are the chances of winning?" ”
"Now I can't guarantee that if Geller really has a billion dollars in his hands, it will be an uphill battle."
Fang Ruoning said: "Rachel made it clear that day that Geller had no money in his hands, so let her go back to New York to fight for funds with her family, and now that Geller has clearly declared war, then he must have gotten the billion dollars!" ”
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up with anxiety, "Rachel was obviously persuaded by me that day, and it is unlikely that she would take the initiative to give this money to Geller - is it...... Did they tear their faces? Could it be that Geller got the money by force? ”
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, worried that Rachel was in trouble.
Huo Lingxiao knew what she was worried about, and frowned to reassure: "It shouldn't be, after all, Rachel still has a bodyguard by her side, and that bodyguard should only obey the orders of the Griffith family." ”
Fang Ruoning was still uneasy in his heart, and muttered: "I hope so......"
The two were silent for a while, and the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Huo Lingxiao let go of the woman and turned to answer the phone, "Hey." ”
"Mr. Huo, a large number of reporters surrounded the headquarters and asked for an interview." The call was from the director of the public relations department, and the tone was anxious.
Huo Lingxiao frowned slightly, this is only a long time, and the news has already spread all over the media!
"Don't accept interviews for the time being, let the security department find a way to send people away."
"Yes."
Fang Ruoning heard the content of the call and stepped forward to ask, "The reporter is here?" ”
"Well, the office building has been surrounded." Huo Lingxiao said, frowning, and said while taking out his mobile phone to dial, "If someone is manipulating behind your back, I'm afraid that this time will be very chaotic, and the kindergarten will also send more people." ”
Saying that, Huo Lingxiao had already called the bodyguard who was in charge of picking up his son and told them to be careful in the past two days.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of wind and noise.
After Huo Lingxiao finished making the call, he turned his head and saw the woman standing stunned, her thin lips pulled a smile, touched her face, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, are you scared?" Speaking of which, you and I don't seem to have had a few days together, and there are always turmoil. ”
Fang Ruoning raised his eyes to look at him worriedly, and reprimanded, "What are you talking about! We are husband and wife, and I don't regret it anyway. Those people are jealous that our days are too happy, so they will continue to move, and they should add to their life experience. ”
Her words undoubtedly warmed Huo Lingxiao's heart.
With a faint sigh, he hugged her close to his arms, Huo Lingxiao suddenly said: "When all these messy things are settled, let's have a good wedding, I want to tell the world that Fang Ruoning is Huo Lingxiao's wife!" ”
Yes?
The woman in her arms raised her eyes in surprise, "When has this been, you actually have the heart to think about this!" ”
"Weddings are important, and I've always had that idea in my mind." The man stared at her and said seriously.
"Okay......" Fang Ruoning muttered, but thought in his heart, when all this dust settles, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a wedding, right? She doesn't want to tell the world that the wedding will make her have a big belly, it's too ugly!
The phone rang again, Huo Lingxiao went to answer the phone again, Fang Ruoning had a headache when he heard the content of the call, Chen Hang knocked on the door and came in, in a hurry, it seemed that there was something urgent to report.
Fang Ruoning wanted to help, but Huo Lingxiao stopped her and asked her, "Do you want to take a break?" Seeing that you have been sleepy for the past few days, are you worried that you haven't slept well at night? ”
Fang Ruoning was a little embarrassed, Chen Hang was here, what was he talking about.
"No, I can't sleep, if you don't need my help here, I'll go out first, I have a few contracts in my hand waiting to be finalized."
Since he deliberately put aside himself and didn't let her worry too much, then she shouldn't be reluctant, anyway, it's all work, everything is the same, as long as she can help him and the company.
The phone fell on the desktop, and it kept ringing, all WeChat messages.
She sat down and turned on her phone, and sure enough, WeChat was about to explode, and people from all walks of life were asking her about the news to confirm the authenticity.
Seeing that her best friend sent a lot of messages, she didn't reply, she simply called directly, she answered easily, and heard the anxious question over there: "Why did you go?" WeChat has not replied, and now the news that Huo's is going to be acquired is spreading everywhere, saying that Zhao Linlang directly let go, is it true? ”
Fang Ruoning also learned someone's calmness, smiled and said, "Is this still some new news?" The outside world is not clear, don't you know? ”
"But there was no real hammer before! Now people are declaring war head-on! ”
"Declare war, declare war, this day will come sooner or later."
"When has this been, why are you still calm and light? I heard my dad say, your Huo family is really in trouble this time, that Griffith family is indeed very powerful! If Zhao Linlang really came on behalf of the Griffith family, then the Huo family ......"
"Xiao Jing, I understand what you said...... But what can I do? We are already trying our best to counter the takeover, Huo Lingxiao doesn't care more than me, I'm so anxious that my eyebrows are burning, and he is still thinking about when the wedding will be held......"
"Wedding?" Feng Xuejing was also taken aback, "What wedding?" Didn't you do it? ”
"He still means to announce the wedding to the world."
