Chapter 1049

There are many ways to counterattack the hostile takeover, such as adding some clauses in the company's articles of association and increasing the difficulty of acquiring the company's control.

When the target company is merged, in case of management change and company layoff, the acquirer will pay a huge parachute for the target company's employees.

Including the sale of "crown jewels" and "puffy tactics" of both failed scorched plans.

There is also the most classic way of counterattack in the hostile takeover of large listed companies, which is defense for attack. I also came to accept your Parkman defense and so on.

Therefore, Andy and his think tank will lay the groundwork for such a long time to launch the knight in black plan. They will attack the stock price of Starbucks, so as to clear up the capital floating space of the increased acquisition cost when Starbucks makes a counterattack.

Even if the acquisition capital will increase a part from the expectation, but because of the deep blow in the early stage, it will be acceptable in the eyes of Andy, the acquirer.

The method is simple and crude, but the effect is remarkable. Whether the hostile takeover is successful or not, Andy has been in an invincible position.

Short Starbucks makes a big profit. When the stock price plummets and breaks through the support position, it sucks down. Using the good news of the acquisition to make the stock price rebound in retaliation. This is another large profit...

Of course, for the meat on the other board, the acquisition of guess group is not so troublesome.

In addition to the low-priced shares absorbed from the capital market and the shares of several small shareholders acquired in private during this period, Freetown investment company has already held 31% of guess group.

The proportion of shares has reached the first shareholder of guess group, because the acquired shares are held in a decentralized form. At this time, the final battle of ownership has not been launched, and the bottom card has not been untied.

"Boss, Paul magirno is willing to make a private settlement and agree to sell his 14% shares at guess's offering price, and is willing to compensate Kate Appleton for half a million dollars..."

In the conference room of freedom city investment company, Andy looks at Jimmy, the attorney in charge of Kate Appleton's harassment case, and listens to Paul michelno's terms of settlement.

"Isn't his brain sick?"

Andy left his folder on the conference table, not even interested in looking through it. He sneered and said, "release price! Does he? He can really dream. Now guess's stock price is only $6.2, and he still thinks about the issue price?

You tell him, either I will buy his shares at the current price of 20% up to get him out of prison, or I will continue to suppress guess's share price, let his assets continue to depreciate, and then I will be kicked into prison with his shares, and he will face a huge amount of compensation!

Old fellow, I really think he is qualified to bargain with me! "

Looking at Jimmy, the lawyer who nodded to show his understanding, Andy thought of Kate Appleton, the 33d couple, and asked calmly, "how's Kate doing recently?"

"It's not so good. It's been surrounded by paparazzi. It's said that several advertisements of the previous interview were also stopped, and the invitations of three magazines were cancelled. At present, the work is in a state of complete stop. Now her family is accompanying her all the time. The attitude of the fashion industry towards this matter is a little ambiguous, which can have some impact on Kate Appleton's future career."

Hearing Jimmy's words, Andy said with a sneer: "it's a rule breaking thing for the fashion circle, and it makes many people feel afraid. Naturally, they won't like Kate's disobedient girl appearing and killing it? ha-ha... "

Andy's sneer let everyone in the conference room know that the big boss is holding his breath to clean up people. It seems that the turmoil in Hollywood has just ended, and the witch hunting drama in the fashion circle may soon be staged.

Tut Tut, this year, really call him a lively!

Sure enough, I heard Andy sitting on the main seat stroll around the boss chair and say: "wait until we finish the acquisition of Giles, I can't make this group of scum urine!"

He was angry, not because Kate was treated coldly by the fashion circle. He didn't really care about the career prospects of a small model. If he really wanted to hold people up, there was no shortage of resources. Let alone the resources of the world-famous fashion magazines in amandahurst's family, which were the fashion magazines under Newsweek and New York Observer It's enough to be a new model.

Of course, if the successful acquisition of Giles group, Andy will not treat Kate badly. After all, she created this opportunity to hold the grass and beat the rabbit, so that he can get a good fashion company at a very small price!

Naturally, these things can't be compared with other people, let alone show their indifference to the future career of the little model when they start, which will chill the hearts of their subordinates, so it's still necessary to show unreasonable short-term protection, which will increase their loyalty.

Bardstone said in a timely manner, shifting the atmosphere that made the meeting a bit awkward. "The boss, he has contacted with the founders and shareholders of Giles company, Armand magirno and Morris magirno brothers. They have some problems about selling the shares of Giles company. After all, this is a company founded by their brothers, which is still very emotional.Of course, the biggest obstacle to acquisition is the current stock price. The market value of Giles company has been cut back. At this time, selling the shares in their hands will undoubtedly cause them heavy losses. Even if they lose the power of the company in the end, they will wait until the stock price picks up and make other plans. "

Andy micro squints his eyes, reaches for his chin and ponders. He really understands this. No one is a fool. As long as guess group can still create value, even if the stock is under heavy pressure, it will eventually rebound. After all, it is a famous brand in the United States. Although it can't touch the edge of luxury goods, it is also a high-end brand in the world's fashion industry. Its influence and CK, diesel tannins.

Because guess has always been the responsibility system of the founder and the boss. It's hard to say. It used to be brilliant. But now it's mostly eating the old book. It's also a good fashion brand. This is the main reason why Andy likes it.

After all, brands like Jack Jones, Levi's and UNIQLO can be popular in the Chinese market. Andy's covet for this market has reached the point where he wants to put almost everything in it.

The market of China is too big. The population of western countries in Europe and America is only about 1.2 billion, while the population of China is almost 1.3 billion. It's better to invest capital and energy in China's market and seize the middle-class market of China to compete with people all over the world.

"Talk to them and buy up 50% of their shares. If they don't give up, ignore them. When the acquisition is completed, immediately issue more shares and dilute their shares!"

Andy decides to follow the lead. After all, his means of acquiring and annexing the company is already well-known. It's too fierce and rough. It's not a good thing. It will make him be questioned and guarded in the future investment.

But what he doesn't know is that many people have regarded him as a greedy hungry wolf. For Andy Smith's money, it will really make people feel hot.
