Chapter 1764

To get back to business, after the exposure of Enron's problems, Nix United fund was the first foundation to rush to short Enron. Finally, they made a lot of profits and made nearly $2 billion.

As a result, Knicks United fund, which still has more to say, naturally targeted Microsoft, which is closely connected with Enron. Without even investigating, Knicks United fund directly began to short Microsoft's stock.

Because in the view of Knicks United fund, Kenneth didn't do anything about Microsoft's earnings, that's what the sun came out in the West.

This is exactly the case. With the financial reporting experience of Enron, Nix United fund naturally was handy in analyzing Microsoft's financial reports. In less than three days, it found out more than a dozen data fraud problems in Microsoft's financial reports.

Then the Knicks mutual fund immediately couldn't wait to release the news. Microsoft's share price collapsed, and then began the process of falling from $200 billion to $30 billion.

Originally, Microsoft wouldn't fall so hard, but the bad thing is that Enron is too miserable. Because the stock price finally fell to $1 and delisted, many investors are full of worries about Enron. For fear that if they don't run in time, the company will directly delist, and all their shares will become waste paper!

So these investors did not say a word. When they saw that Microsoft had also made financial fraud, they threw their shares directly without even a trace of hesitation.

At this time, various financial institutions were also worried about the future prospects of Microsoft, and they did not dare to take over the stock of Microsoft. As a result, the stock of Microsoft fell sharply, and some institutions were unable to live when they fell, so they began to sell shares, leading to the further collapse of Microsoft.

In a word, Microsoft is miserable!

When Microsoft's share price fell below $30 billion, Daqian group suddenly announced that it would launch a takeover of Microsoft and planned to buy Microsoft directly.

In fact, when Daqian announced the news, Daqian had won more than 20% of Microsoft's shares in the stock market and became the second largest shareholder of Microsoft.

In fact, Microsoft doesn't have many stocks in the stock market. The rest of the stocks are basically in the hands of various institutions. Daqian is making a request for acquisition at this time. The purpose is naturally to buy the Microsoft stocks in the hands of these institutions. He has a great appetite and wants to swallow the whole Microsoft.

As for why Daqian swallowed Microsoft, the answer is naturally self-evident. Daqian plans to directly use money to wipe out Hongmeng's biggest rival, or simply let the two companies merge, so as to complete Hongmeng's counter attack on the windows system.

As soon as the news was announced, the whole American country blew up.

Daqian wants to buy Microsoft, and a Chinese company wants to buy the once high-tech light of the United States, which is unacceptable.

As a result, there was a wave of opposition in the whole country. At this time, the network has been relatively developed, so many people also began to unite on the online forum to stop Daqian's acquisition of Microsoft.

However, these objections did not seem to work. Microsoft's share price always hovered around $30 billion, while those foundations holding Microsoft's shares wavered. Soon, the news that some foundations had sold their shares to Daqian came out.

This makes civil opponents more anxious, and a huge wave soon formed on the Internet.

"Chairman, I said earlier that this is not the most appropriate time to acquire Microsoft!" Zhou Hongwei said with a slight complaint in the video conference.

Boss Jia at the other end of the video was expressionless and couldn't see the thoughts in his heart.

Zhou Hongwei is indeed opposed to the acquisition of Microsoft at this time. Zhou Hongwei has been in the United States for more than three years at this time and has a very good understanding of the temperament of the American people.

Although people in China boast that the American people are fantastic, they are all saints with unlimited quality, but in fact, the American people are quite anti intellectual and very fragile. Therefore, Zhou Hongwei knows that the acquisition of Microsoft at this time will certainly arouse great disgust among the American people.

So when Zhou Hongwei received boss Jia's order to cooperate with him to acquire Microsoft, he immediately raised his objection. However, boss Jia didn't listen at all and insisted on his own way, so that he fell into this embarrassing situation.

Although there are rumors that Daqian has bought shares in several companies, and now owns nearly 50% of Microsoft's shares, Daqian only has 20% of the shares from the bottom of the stock market.

Now, it has become extremely difficult for Daqian to continue to buy shares in Microsoft.

"All the fund companies we contacted have made it very clear that they cannot sell Microsoft shares to us against the wishes of the American people. At the same time, they also think the price is inappropriate!" Zhou Hongwei, as the general person in charge of the acquisition, reported to Jia laobanhui.

"I see. What really matters is the following sentence. They are not satisfied with the price!" boss Jia said faintly in the video.

"Yes, for these capitalists on Wall Street, nothing in the world can't be sold as long as the price is right!" Zhou Hongwei nodded.

"What price do they ask?" boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Although they didn't offer, almost everyone told me that they think the market value of Microsoft three months ago is the real value of the company!" Zhou Hongwei said with a wry smile.

"Three months ago? When Enron didn't have a thunderstorm?" boss Jia said with a dumbfounded smile.

Three months ago, Microsoft's share price was the peak of the last year, with a market value of $200 billion, about seven times the current total market value.

It's funny that these foundations want to buy Microsoft shares at a premium of seven times!

"We will never accept this price!" boss Jia said without hesitation.

"What should we do next?" Zhou Hongwei asked for instructions.

"Continue to talk!" boss Jia smiled. "But he killed the total market value of $50 billion to make the acquisition. No more money!"

"Chairman, with all due respect, this is too far from their psychological price. They won't agree. If we have to buy, it will be $100 billion. I'm confident that we can..."

"Fart, it's 50 billion yuan. You can talk to them at this price. Don't give up without my order until I'm satisfied!" boss Jia left such an order that confused monk Zhou Hongwei and ended this video conference.
