Chapter 1433

Li Mu's interest in Apple shocked Apple executives.

They even think it's easier to sell the apple to bafick or even to the U.S. government than to sell it to Li Mu, because they can't think of any reason why Li Mu would like to buy the apple.

But Lin Qingya clearly conveyed Li Mu's interest in apple on the phone with Tim Cook, and Lin Qingya offered to interview Tim Cook, so it would never be a joke.

Although Lin Qingya is young and has a very low qualification, she is the top leader of Makino technology in the United States. If she is really influential, jobs can't match her, because she has the resources of Makino technology behind her to make a strong support, just like a young general who can mobilize thousands of troops to fight in the battlefield. Compared with her, jobs is like an experienced guerrilla leader However, at present, the fist is far from hard.

Then I think that shortly after Li Mu's arrival in the United States, Lin Qingya immediately met Tim Cook. It seems that Li Mu is really interested in apple, and he asked top core management personnel like Lin Qingya to connect with this matter, which proves that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Maybe it's the omen of another village.

Apple summoned all the senior executives from home to the company to hold an emergency meeting immediately. At the meeting, Tim Cook introduced the general situation to everyone, and then all the management representatives were on the scene, immediately voting on a question.

The chairman of the board of directors said: "all of you, those who think that the takeover offer of Makino technology should be rejected, please raise their hands. If the voting rights represented by those who raise their hands exceed 60%, Tim will directly reject Lin Qingya of Makino technology tomorrow."

Three seconds later, no one raised his hand.

The chairman of the board of directors was a little silly. He asked all the people present curiously, "you guys, Li Mu is the main cause of Apple's market value slump and profit slump. Don't you think we should have more backbone on this issue?"

A member of the board of directors turned his mouth and said: "our navy, under the command of general Perry as early as 1853, used cannons to blast through Japan's country. In World War II, it dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and almost blew Tokyo to the ground. Do you see that the Japanese hate us now? They even made statues for general Perry to commemorate it! "

As he said, the board member added: "I'm a very realistic person. Everyone is a businessman. What we are after is not who has hurt us, but who can bring benefits to us in the present and future. It's almost impossible for us to come out on our own in our current predicament. In this case, whoever comes out with a high price is my father."

Another board member laughed and said, "Jason, you said what I wanted to say! We need to look forward rather than backward. I don't hate Li Mu and Muye technology at all. That's because their attack on apple is past style, and we can't defeat each other. It's not surprising that they are defeated. But what I hate is Microsoft guys. They are like robbers who take advantage of the fire, vultures who eat people and don't spit their bones! "

The chairman of the board of directors said happily, "I'm glad to see that everyone is so mature."

After that, he said positively: "since Li Mu wants to buy apple, we will actively cooperate with each other. We will meet, set up projects, negotiate, and fulfill the demands of Muye technology. As long as he can give us a satisfactory quotation, nothing else matters. It is our most important task to sell the company at the highest price as soon as possible."

Someone asked: "how can we offer Li Mu? No matter how he reports, we will always give a quotation and set a bottom line price for us. "

"That's the main reason I've asked you to come to the meeting." The chairman of the board of directors said: "our share price has not stopped falling so far. Andy Rubin's joining in Makino technology to take charge of the technological research and development of mango product line has made investors even less optimistic about us. Our competitors have already run over us, and we are still persistently improving ourselves, and we have not announced any plans to the public, or even no plans Give any information to the outside world that may save the situation, which makes our investors even less confident. If we keep going like this, the market value will fall below $3 billion in the near future. "

Some people said: "we'd better ask Li Mu for M & A. We take the current market value as the benchmark, and the valuation of the capital market as the benchmark. In this way, if we buy 30 billion yuan and 3 billion yuan, at least 3.2% of the shares of Muye technology after M & a, we might as well fight for it tomorrow to see if we can achieve 3.5-4 percentage points. This is the case After Muye technology goes public, we hold this share for two years, which is likely to make up all the losses we lost on apple, and even have very objective benefits. "

When he said that, everyone looked at him as if he were mentally retarded. The chairman of the board of directors asked him, "Tom, how old is your son this year?"

"Eight, what's the matter?"

"Are you interested in adopting a child? The child still has a certain disability. "

Tom shrugged his shoulders and said, "you're not the right metaphor. Adopting a child is a pure effort. Buying a company is to make profits in the future."“OK。” The chairman of the board of directors nodded and asked him, "if you adopt this disabled child and raise him up for Harvard University, then all the money he makes in the future will be yours after his personal expenses are removed, would you like to?"

Tom said: "it depends on the potential of this child. If Makino technology wants to buy us, it will definitely take a deep consideration of our future potential."

The chairman of the board of directors said: "you ignore a problem. You only consider the future potential of the child, but you don't think how much it will cost to raise him. You also ignore the fact that the child is disabled, which means that you have to cure him, feed him, wear him and receive education, so he can make money for you."

Tom spread out his hand: "Li Mu has plenty of money. What he pursues may be..."

The chairman of the board of directors interrupted him and said: "I haven't finished yet. You just adopted the child and paid for his treatment, but now he needs an organ from your son to save his life. But you can rest assured that what he needs is not an indispensable organ, but an organ that will not affect his life too much, such as a cornea A kidney, or a liver. "

"Enough!" Tom said with an ugly expression, "I just want to help you to strive for the best interests, but you use my son as a metaphor and say such hard words. Isn't it too much?"

The chairman of the board of directors sneered and said: "I'm just your son, for example, you can't stand it, but you want Li Mu to take some organs from his son and give them to you? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you think with Li Mu's style, if Tim asks Lin Qingya for 4% of apple stock tomorrow, what kind of reaction will Li Mu make? I guess he'll give up the acquisition immediately and put another bullet in our heart! "

Tom was embarrassed for a moment. His anger had already dissipated. All he had left was fear.

Li YuXun thinks that the world is his cleverest, while others are stupid people who lack thinking ability, and in the end, they are all like him.

Through a series of metaphors just mentioned by the chairman of the board of directors, other board members have thoroughly figured out the current situation of apple. They take out the metaphors that are all the dragon and Phoenix among people, but when they get together, they are the fans. This metaphor is the first time for them to see the whole situation from the perspective of onlookers.

Apple is the disabled child waiting to be adopted by the chairman of the board of directors. It's his best luck to meet someone who is willing to adopt him. If you still expect the adopter to cut off the meat from his son and feed him, it's more wishful thinking than a dream.

So, this also means that it's better not to even think about the M & A of Apple by Makino technology, because there's a million more thoughts about Baluchi. Maybe Li Mu will just say say say goodbye.

There is no possibility of merger and acquisition. The only possibility left is bargaining.

So, how to make an offer to Li Mu? A premium on the existing stock price? That's a dream, because in Apple's current situation, let alone a certain premium on the existing stock price, even if Apple wants to sell its shares according to the market value, it's impossible to cash in.

The reason why it is impossible is that as a listed company, although most of its shares are in the hands of the board of directors, there are still some shares circulating in the market. These shares are purchased by a large number of investors. In order to protect the interests of investors and the stability of the entire securities market, the capital market strictly limits the freedom of cash arbitrage of shareholders and executives of listed companies.

That is to say, if a certain capital has 10% of Apple shares, if they want to cash these 10% into cash, it is not so simple to sell the shares directly in the stock market. First, they need to make the disclosure of reducing their holdings in advance according to the requirements of the market, and go through a large number of bloated and slow flow processes. Finally, after a long process, they can just like squeezing toothpaste, a little bit of a set of shares Now.

In this way, if Apple's shareholders want to reduce their holdings, they need to disclose to the public before reducing their holdings. Once investors find that Apple's shareholders want to escape, panic will lead to a greater sell-off tide. By then, the shareholders' shares have not been reduced and the stock price has fallen to the bottom.

This means that Apple's shareholders are now deep investors, and even trying to cash by market value has become an impossible task.

Therefore, if Apple's shareholders want to cash out now, they will not be able to get cash according to market value, but they will sacrifice part of their interests to get the opportunity of cash out, which is the key chip for Li Mu to reduce Apple's price.

If Apple has a market value of 3 billion yuan and shareholders hold 70% of the shares, that part is $2.1 billion according to the market value. If Li Mu controls it well, it is likely to force Apple shareholders to agree to transfer all their shares to him at a price of $1.5 billion, making him the controlling shareholder of apple.

However, if Li Mu wants apple to delist from Nasdaq, he must give the market value of shares in circulation a premium space to ensure the smooth progress of privatization. If the market value of apple in circulation reaches 900 million US dollars, Li Mu will have to make up for their premium, and then recover the shares from them. If the premium is 40%, it will cost 360 million US dollars more.The money seems to be the cost Li Mu has to bear, but for Apple's board of directors, they know that Li Mu will count this part of the cost on them.

In this way, they are not only unable to get the money according to the stock price, but also far below the stock price.

And since no one else is interested in apple now, Apple executives are aware of a serious problem: if they want to cash out dozens of stops, selling at a low price is the only way out for Apple!
