Chapter 758

Someone once said that the United States is a relatively closed society. You live behind closed doors at home, and usually no one cares about you.

Don't talk about finding a few women, even if you find a few wives, it's no big deal. You're fine as long as you're not cheating. Doesn't Lao Mei still have a Mormon religion? Although the law prohibits her, she still has several wives.

When Utah joined the United States, the laws of other states were OK. It was this polygamy that Peanutton would not agree to anyway.

Nima, if this is really approved, wouldn't the rich people go crazy with joy.

However, public figures cannot do this. It doesn't matter if you spend a lot of time, if you break through some bottom lines. Cough cough, this is really troublesome.

MJ is still being wronged. Now when Americans talk about MJ, they always separate him from his songs.

Look, it's so hypocritical.

"Boss, Morgridge wants to see you."

"Hehe, this guy, well, Filson, you can make some arrangements, do you know what's going on?"

"I didn't say, but Cisco's outstanding shares are decreasing. If the estimate is good, or increase capital and share, or..."

"Haha, maybe I sell some shares. Well, just listen to what he has to say."

Filson's face is also not good-looking, it's one thing for them to actively reduce their holdings here. It's another matter if your management has other ideas.

Morgridge is not a simple character, Cisco's founder couple were kicked out by him. Could it be that this is an MBO plan?

If he really had such a plan, he would have thought too much. William White, the major shareholder, directly and indirectly controls 30% of the shares, which is not a small amount.

Of course, this ratio is not perfect. If there is any powerful person who shows up, he can still make a move.

But the problem is, for a smaller company. Is it necessary to tear faces with William White. Cisco is very good in the future 13, the question is, how do you determine.

"Mr. Rich, are you alone? I thought Don Valentine would come too."

Seeing William White straight to the point, Morgridge was only slightly taken aback. It was not difficult for William White to guess his purpose, but it was a bit contrary to common sense to ask directly.

"Ahem, Mr. White, as you know, the company has developed very smoothly recently, and I don't want any twists and turns."

"There will be no twists and turns. I roughly control 30% of the shares, which is more than Sequoia Capital. If necessary, I can directly privatize and delist. By the way, you go back and tell Tang that I will buy all of his shares at a premium of 50% Shares. How much does he have now, 15% or 20%? Whatever, I want it all."

In general, William White is easy to talk to. However, it depends on the occasion, if he is not someone from his company, he certainly doesn't need to show face.

Morgridge can't calm down now. It seems that their previous estimates are problematic. The stake in William White's hands is not 25%.

There is something William White doesn't understand about the set of things that venture capital plays. When you drove away the founder couple, he was very upset, and he chose to shut up because he didn't want to interfere too much.

Well now, someone actually planned to take a step closer.

"Mr. White, Mr. Valentine just wants to introduce third-party investors. Ahem, I personally don't want to change."

"The old guy is crazy? Who is this so big?"

"There are many interested companies, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley."

"Hahaha, don't be so troublesome, let's go privatized and delisted first. Mr. Rich, let me confirm that you will continue to stay and help me?"

"I am sure?"

"Okay, Filson, let's issue a tender offer and apply for a temporary suspension of trading."

"Okay, boss."

Filson is actually very confused now, he is a little uncertain, the boss didn't plan to do so yesterday, what happened.

Of course things happened, a group of silly 13s were just careless. He William White, when did he need to give Citigroup face. Now that Valentin is not going to be the chairman, get the hell out of here.

After Morgridge left, Felson recovered from the trance just now.

"Boss, what happened?"

"Last night, someone saw Don Valentine having a secret conversation with Citigroup's executives. When the two old guys were happy, they obviously forgot that the wall has ears. Since Sequoia plans to play, I will accompany you.

Go check, there are projects they participated in, I need details. "

"Okay, I'll do it right away.?"

"By the way, dump the remaining gold in London."

Well, Filson couldn't persuade him. William White had a feud with Citigroup, and this time, the matter may not end so easily.

"No way, Andy, where did this news come from?"

"Boss, the White Fund has already raised its placard, requesting an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."

"Tsk, Sequoia is crazy. What qualifications does it have to challenge William White? Who is behind it?"

"Boss, it should be Citigroup. However, Sequoia Capital is in trouble this time, and William White is clearing the field. It's not just Cisco, this is a complete tear."

"Damn it, give me a call from Goldman Sachs."

Such a lively event has not appeared on Wall Street for a long time, and the old guy from Morgan Stanley was of course excited. Backwater financial markets, where there are interesting now.

As for which of you will be unlucky, he doesn't care. Hehe, in this world, those who make money are masters. As for the rest, it doesn't matter at all.

"The gold market fluctuated sharply? Boeing and Citi suffered short selling?" Soros, who was confused, was stunned. The news reported by his subordinates shocked him inexplicably.

Nima, where is the war?

"Yes, boss, news is flying all over the sky now, and I don't even know what happened."

"Then let's talk about it one by one and see if there is any connection."

The whole of Wall Street suddenly boiled up. Looking at the stocks that were flying up and down, a group of stockbrokers were simply crazy.

The unknown and uncertainty are the biggest nightmare of the market. Relatively speaking, the disclosure of information in the United States is quite regular.

Ahem, because it was too bad before. If you don't change it, I'm afraid there will be no fools buying stocks.

Then, without any news, come here suddenly.

Investors actually don't have a good choice. If there is no book loss, it is the wisest choice to leave the market temporarily. We all know that chasing ups and downs is not good, but isn’t stock trading just about chasing ups and downs?

If you were all Buffetts, there wouldn't be that much volume on the NYSE.

"Asshole, hurry up and buy it back."

"Boss, I have already repurchased 300 million U.S. dollars, and the sell-off is still huge. The increase in the previous period was a bit large. At this time, I have encountered a huge amount of funds to short..."

The boss of Citigroup was very angry. He just got off the plane, and he was hit in the head. When this guy finally figured out the reason, the opponent had already started to clean up the battlefield.

"Charlie, what do you think?" Buffett was the least concerned about short-term fluctuations. Of course, he also needs to know the specific reason.

"Warren, it is in line with William White's usual style. However, this time the matter did not end so quickly."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"There is no reason to sell gold now. William White's recent position is a little tight, but there is no need to make a big move."

"Hahaha, is this trying to raise funds? Well, I think the CEO of Citigroup shouldn't do it after such a toss all day long. Since you know that the other party has a bad temper, you have repeatedly made trouble."
