Chapter 418 White Knight Lu Fei
Chapter 418 White Knight Lu Fei
After a hard-won New Year's holiday, it was suddenly disrupted by a grand event, and the management of New Wolf returned to China from all over the world.
Cao Guowei and Wang Yan acted separately, Wang Yan wandered among the directors, and Cao Guowei, as soon as he arrived in Yanjing, went to the door non-stop to ask to see the leader of the Internet rivers and lakes——
Master Lu.
"Sit down, Mr. Cao."
He set the meeting place in the banquet room of the Lama Temple courtyard, and Xu Xin, who represented the three-body problem, was also seated.
"Mr. Xu, thank you. The news you sent was really timely. A few days later, Xinlang will be even more passive."
Cao Guowei bent down to express his thanks.
"Then what is President Cao going to do?" Xu Xin asked with a smile.
"We urgently held a small internal meeting. Most of them welcomed Shanda's investment, but they refused to become the actual holding company."
Cao Guowei got straight to the point: "So I am here this time, hoping to get the support of the management from Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu."
"What support do you want?"
Lu Fei sniffed the steaming tea soup.
"We came up with a preliminary plan."
Cao Guowei confessed: "Expand the share capital of New Wolf and dilute the shares acquired by Shanda. Of course, old shareholders like Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu can use half the price of the stock price when the warrants are issued to exercise their rights and buy new shares."
"The Poison Pill."
Lu Fei and Xu Xin looked at each other, not surprised at all.
"That's right, Shanda's current average cost of acquisitions is less than $30, but as long as the cost can be raised, even if Shanda's management agrees, the shareholders will not agree."
Cao Guowei looked deathly at home.
"This is one thousand injuries to the enemy, and eight hundred injuries to oneself."
Xu Xin sang badly, "Santi's investment in Xinlang is a strategic investment, otherwise it wouldn't sell 5% during the Chinese New Year, and now, I have to use the money to buy new shares..."
Cao Guowei's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained that this was a "nuclear deterrence" move, and what he wanted was for Chen Tianqiao to back down.
Even if Shanda insists on going his own way, buying new shares at half the issue price is only about $12, which will not let the old shareholders suffer.
"However, the merger between Shanda and New Wolf is a very good story for the capital market. Wall Street must be very optimistic. It will be a matter of time before the stock price rises."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth raised slightly.
"but!"
Cao Guowei was taken aback, and reminded him explicitly and secretly that although he made money as a shareholder, his Internet empire lost an important ally, and he also lost a "dogleg" on the portal, which was equivalent to weakening himself and strengthening Chen Tianqiao Strength.
"Mr. Lu, you don't want Shanda Holdings to be a new wolf, do you?"
"Mr. Cao, besides the poison pill, do you have any other plans?"
Lu Fei touched his chin, pretending to think.
"The matter happened in a hurry. We temporarily found two solutions in previous hostile takeover business cases."
Cao Guowei unreservedly resorted to the "white knight" tactics.
The so-called white knights are targeted companies like New Wolf who are not willing to be attacked by hostile bidders like Shanda, so they pull in a friendly reinforcement and form an alliance to fight the bidding war.
Of course, there are no fathers and sons in the mall, so they can't help in vain.
The white knight must be allowed to profit from it. Generally speaking, strong support will be allowed to sit on the board of directors, or even be the actual controlling shareholder of the new wolf.
"You want me to compete with Chen Tianqiao and snap up tradable shares in the secondary market. Is that what you mean?"
Lu Fei crossed his hands, pretending to be surprised.
"That's right, it's best to be with Penguin and Feigou." Cao Guowei said firmly: "Mr. Lu, do you want a new wolf? As long as you say a word, we will persuade other shareholders to sell the shares to you first." .”
Then he turned his attention to Xu Xin: "Including Mr. Xu, Santi is an investment in Xinlang anyway. I don't know if you have any intention to transfer them all to Mr. Lu?"
"what?"
Xu Xin stared at Lu Fei intently, he was really sure of it!
What they are fighting is Liu Bei's strategy to take Yizhou, defending Zhang Lu (Chen Tianqiao) on behalf of Liu Zhang (New Wolf) in the open, but actually cooperating with the Yizhou local faction (New Wolf management) inside and outside.
He couldn't help being a little excited, but unexpectedly, he shook his head and refused when the fat was brought to his mouth.
"President Lu, why?"
Cao Guowei was also shocked, what the hell, wouldn't you even want to be offered a chance?After the merger, in the portal, mailbox and other businesses, it will be the only one!
"As a company, you can't play for your name. The integration pressure after the merger is too great, especially for Penguin."
Lu Fei is like Liu Bei, unintentionally in love.
Penguin may plan to go public this year. After all, with the super benefits of "World of Warcraft", you must know that at its peak, it can account for more than [-]% of The[-]'s overall revenue.
Even in the years when Net Arts grabbed "World of Warcraft", its annual revenue soared by more than 45%, and its profits soared by 15%.
Because of this, even if Blizzard's family income only accounts for single digits, about 3% of Net Arts, they still maintain the cooperation between the two, but there are fools who do NM stupid things!
Sure enough, it is Blizzard that can destroy Warcraft!
rnm, refund the money!
"What about Feigou, Mr. Lu, the e-commerce channel that Feigou cooperates with Xinlang has the highest traffic among the three major portals."
Cao Guowei became impatient, Mr. Lu, you have to stand up and fight Chen Tianqiao!We can count on you!
Isn't this Ari and Xinlang Weibo?
Seeing that Lu Fei was almost stretched, he showed a reluctant expression on his face. He is not only a shareholder of Xinlang, but also Shanda, and his palms and backs are full of flesh.
"Mr. Lu, this is different. In Shanda, you are at most the director, but in Xinlang, you will be the actual controlling shareholder."
Cao Guowei vowed that he would serve Master Lu as his master!
Xu Xin rolled her eyes calmly, pretended, and continued pretending!
"Okay, I can intervene."
Lu Fei was troubled and agreed.
"But Mr. Lu, we still have two unfeeling requests."
Cao Guowei said bluntly, one is to ask Mr. Lu not to attend this board meeting, and to delegate the voting power to him.
The second is that Mr. Lu took over, keeping the existing management unchanged, and reuniting the scattered new wolves into one.
"It's exactly what I want. In front of Mr. Cao, I also promise that the daily operation of Xinlang will be handed over to the management and decision-making staff headed by you."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, Cao Guowei felt unprecedented trust, his body trembled suddenly, and he said excitedly:
"Lu, Mr. Lu?"
"Trust is a kind of combat effectiveness, and talent is also a kind of combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness of trust in talents will be '1+1' greater than 2."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, I can trust you."
"Thank you Mr. Lu!!"
Cao Guowei put his hands on his knees, bent down again, and suddenly had the urge to die for his confidant——
For half of Cao Piaoling's life, he only hated that he did not meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. If he does not give up, he would like to worship him as the Lord!
Xu Xin blinked, good guy, just change into Zhang Song!
…………
Shanghai stock market, Shanda.
Tang Jun walked into Chen Tianqiao's office quickly, before he could speak first, Chen Tianqiao said first:
"How much do we have now!"
"14.6%."
Tang Jun sullenly said, "Duan Yongji sat on the ground and raised the price, and refused to accept our offer. He wanted to sell 4.9% of his shares at the highest stock price in New Wolf's history."
"How many?"
"About $50."
"Fuck, what are you kidding! Where's the three-body problem?"
"No reply yet."
"No reply, nine out of ten are not for sale."
Chen Tianqiao was pacing back and forth when suddenly the landline rang.
The call came from Wang Yan, who excitedly asked the teacher:
"Mr. Chen, is Shanda buying shares in New Wolf?"
Chen Tianqiao was startled. The Nasdaq stock market stipulates that when holding more than 5% of a company, it must be disclosed within 10 days.
However, it is only the third day!
"Haha, that's right, Mr. Wang, I originally wanted to tell you about this, but unfortunately you are on vacation in France, sorry to interrupt, how did you get the news?"
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, I also know that you not only want to be the largest shareholder, but also want to join the board of directors and control Xinlang."
Wang Yan said with a smile: "I made this call for no other purpose, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I wanted to invite you to come to Beijing for a meeting."
"no problem!"
After Chen Tianqiao made the agreement, the blind voice of the landline echoed in the office, and his face immediately became solemn.
"Strange. How did Wang Yan know?"
Tang Jun's face was so dark that water dripped out, both surprised and suspicious.
"Could it be Duan Yongji? He wants to stand at both ends."
"No reason!"
"Fuck, which bastard is it!"
Chen Tianqiao gritted his teeth. The management of the new wolf had received the news in advance, so they lost the initiative. It seemed that there was no way to fight a blitzkrieg, and they could only fight positional warfare, fortress against fortress.
Tang Jundao: "President Chen, what should we do next? Wang Yan's attitude is ambiguous, neither welcoming Shanda nor objecting."
"Don't care about him, continue!"
Chen Tianqiao made a decisive order: "The war has already started, so there is no reason to stop, Mr. Tang, you must hurry up and acquire at least 19.5% before the disclosure period.
As for me, I will go to Yanjing to meet him for a while. "
