Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2410 What tricks are you playing?
Lin Daoqiu's asking price made little Alan Ryder almost laugh out loud. How could anyone negotiate like this.

The bottom line was drawn as soon as it came up. I didn't know that I thought Lin Daoqiu was the seller and Marty Lynn was the buyer.

Little Alan Ryder really wanted to ask Lin Daoqiu if he had figured out the situation. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is now begging Marty Lynn to sell him the shares. I am afraid that this attitude is not right?

"My decision is not to sell. Since Mr. Lin has no sincerity to continue the conversation with me, then we have nothing to talk about. Thank you for shopping with me today. Goodbye."

Mattie Lynn stood up angrily, it seemed that she didn't want to stay here any longer.

But when Mattie Lynn got up and was about to leave, Lin Daoqiu looked like an old god, and he didn't seem to be worried at all.

"Ms. Marty, my asking price is very reasonable. You may not feel it now, but I believe you will feel my sincerity in the near future."

Lin Daoqiu smiled slightly. He didn't intend to stop Marty Lynn from leaving. It seemed that he was full of confidence in this.

Mattie Lynn just walked away without looking back, leaving little Alan Ryder sitting there without moving.

"To be honest, I don't understand you a bit. In fact, you only need to offer a higher price to buy the shares in Mattie's hands. In this way, you and Murdoch will be evenly matched, and there will be more room for manipulation... "

"But you foolishly pissed her off, which doesn't do you any good. To be honest, you're really a bit stupid this time."

It seems that Alan Ryder Jr. is very happy to have the opportunity to taunt Lin Daoqiu, which is one of the few opportunities he can laugh at Lin Daoqiu.

However, Lin Daoqiu didn't agree with what Alan Ryder said, because the other party didn't understand what the situation was like now.

"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool. Do you think I might invite her out when I have nothing to do, and then try to anger her?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head while talking, it seemed that he seemed to be very disapproving of little Alan Ryder's opinion.

Little Alan Ryder was naturally very upset when Lin Daoqiu said so, because few people dared to criticize him like this in front of him.

"Oh, since Mr. Lin is so powerful, why did he piss off Ms. Marty? What's the point of saying these sarcastic remarks now? It's just an afterthought."

Little Alan Ryder didn't believe that Lin Daoqiu could buy the shares in Mattie Lynn's hands at such a price.

What he said just now was nothing more than trying to be brave in front of himself, and it had no other effect other than that.

"Then how about we make a bet, if I can buy her shares at a price of 2000 million or less, how about you staying at Fox and helping me work?"

"Okay, but if Mr. Lin can't do it, then please don't play Fox's idea, and sell all the shares in your hand within one year, how about it?"

Little Alan Ryder agreed to Lin Daoqiu's gamble without even thinking about it. In his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to buy the shares in Marty Lynn's hands at a price of 2000 million or less.

"Then we'll agree."

Lin Daoqiu stretched out his hand towards little Alan Ryder. After a few seconds of hesitation, little Alan Ryder finally decided to gamble with Lin Daoqiu.

"I plan to hold a board meeting next week to announce the capital increase."

"what……"

Little Alan Ryder had just finished shaking hands when Lin Daoqiu gave him news that almost petrified him.

Lin Daoqiu wants to dilute Fox's shares by adding value. If he does, then Mattie Lynn's shares will be diluted, and she will be miserable.

"Don't be delusional. Mr. Murdoch and Ms. Marty will not agree to the capital increase request. Don't you just want to dilute their shares? You only have less than [-]% of the shares in your hand, so it's impossible."

Although Lin Daoqiu's method is great, it is a pity that the capital increase requires the approval of a majority of shareholders on the board of directors.

Judging from the positions of Murdoch and Marty Lynn at this time, they have neither the capital to confront Lin Daoqiu nor the willingness to increase capital.

Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if Mattie Lynn agrees to Lin Daoqiu's request for capital increase, as long as Murdoch does not agree, then this decision will definitely not be made.

After all, this is how large shareholders deal with small shareholders, but if small shareholders want to use it to deal with large shareholders, it may not be an easy task.

"Whether they agree or not has nothing to do with me. My approach is to proceed step by step. You don't need to be nervous about me. I have already planned everything."

Lin Daoqiu smiled mysteriously at little Alan Ryder, and he looked confident.

Although I don't know what Lin Daoqiu plans to do, but judging from what he has said so far, Alan Ryder Jr. does not think that Lin Daoqiu will succeed in the end, at least so far he thinks so.

…………

A day later, Murdoch received Lin Daoqiu's request to convene a general meeting of shareholders, which made him frown.

Lin Daoqiu bought nearly [-]% of the shares in Fox, and also contacted Marty Lynn. Fortunately, he prepared in advance and notified Marty Lynn so that she would not sell the shares casually.

However, although Lin Daoqiu did not buy her shares from Mattie Lynn in the end, Murdoch did not relax at this point. He felt that the other party must still be holding back something bad and waiting for him.

Sure enough, not long after, Lin Daoqiu asked for a general meeting of shareholders. Murdoch would bet that this was definitely Lin Daoqiu's trick.

"What exactly does Lin Daoqiu want to do? He's just the second largest shareholder. What's the use of asking for a shareholders' meeting?"

Murdoch really couldn't understand what Lin Daoqiu wanted to do, but his heart kept reaching his throat.

Hodrickson on the side also looked puzzled, because he couldn't guess what Lin Daoqiu wanted to do.

"Even if Lin Daoqiu has bought the shares in Ms. Mattie's hands, his shareholding ratio is at most the same as ours, unless...he wants to obtain shares in other ways."

Murdoch looked at Hodrickson with a strange look, and he felt that what the other party said meant that he didn't say anything.

Being looked at by Murdoch like this, Hodrickson also realized that what he said seemed a little unclear, so he quickly explained.

"Will Lin Daoqiu want to ask for a capital increase?"

"He wants to increase capital? Why, don't say that Mattie Lynn won't agree, even if Lin Daoqiu can persuade her, as long as I don't agree, it will be impossible to pass."

Murdoch is still very confident. After all, he is the major shareholder of Fox. Without his nod, Lin Daoqiu can't do anything.
