Chapter 1108? I'm Not Mature Enough
"Sega and NEC do not object, so VideoLogic will risk 50% of the risk of losing a big order if it refuses the merger, or even higher. It is not the same as 3DFX, and its display chip products are not as dazzling as Voodoo. And because it and NEC formed a big knife team to join the Sega horse racing plan, it needs to be kept strictly confidential, and the market value can be maintained at the 80 million pound level, which has been questioned by external investors who don't know the truth."
Before the suspension ended, Song Ya took the time to negotiate with VideoLogic and let both parties issue a statement of intent at the same time. Later, they will wait for the shareholders of both parties to vote on whether to agree to 3DFX’s plan to acquire VideoLogic with a share swap plus cash. There is a high probability that it will be approved. Go through other processes.
"Huh, I'm going to see short-seller O'Grady at the open tomorrow, they don't have much time, do they?"
Song Ya is in a good mood. The new wheelchair has arrived. It is the kind with a control handle on the armrest that can drive the motor to run around by itself. Ask Sloan to help hold the phone, "How much room is there for the stock price to rise?"
"Looking at the confidentiality of the details of the share swap plus cash acquisition, I estimate that it is highly unlikely. It is not a big problem for 3DFX's stock price to stabilize at $40. It depends on the reaction of investors and the short side. If the short side is eager to get enough stocks to close the position , then the stock price may skyrocket. VideoLogic's market value... should rise to nearly 100 million pounds." O'Grady replied.
"Wow, it's better to play finance to make money faster!"
The stock prices of 3DFX and VideoLogic rose, as well as the short-selling income from VideoLogic earlier. Just a few days after he woke up, his net worth increased sharply again. Song Ya moved the handle with his right hand slightly, and the wheelchair turned flexibly.
"Daddy!" Little Robb jumped to his legs lively again, and Little Jon was almost one year old, giggling and crawling on the ground.
"My dear son, Daddy has something to do."
Xue Linfen, who was looking after them, came over and squatted down, kissed Song Ya, "Don't pester Daddy, let Daddy do the work." Then she pulled little Robb away.
"Well, you've worked hard Xuelin."
Song Ya continued to play wheelchair drift at home while chatting with O'Grady.
"Is Ballard really gone?" O'Grady asked.
"I found him to suppress those three liars, but I feel that guy has been assimilated by them. You know, 3DFX is very popular in the field of display chips, and there are many opportunities to show his face. The three liars especially like to go to computer exhibitions and Ballard seems to be having fun with all kinds of tech events."
Song Ya replied: "But the demand for high-end graphics cards is small after all, and there is a lot of movement. In fact, they don't make much money, and the small shipments are not conducive to diluting the cost of chip manufacturing. Ballard has not been able to maintain a good relationship with large buyers. McLaren is much better than him, relying on VideoLogic's outdated technology can make NEC and Sega happy. If I hadn't tried my best to turn the tide, he would have actually defeated Ballard and won the title of Sega's next-generation game console. single."
"Ha ha!"
O'Grady smiled, then asked, "Aside from Ballard, what other ideas do you have about the merger and reorganization of the two boards?"
"Scott, the CTO in the trio, can't move for the time being. Anyway, get Ross out first, and he's the one who came up with the bad idea."
"Well, it's not a big problem..."
The next day, the stocks of the two companies resumed trading. As expected, the stock prices of 3DFX and VideoLogic continued to rise due to the good news, but 3DFX did not soar as O'Grady predicted.
"What's the next thing to do?" he asked Sloan at noon.
"You have to call Catherine from KM Films back, she and Universal Pictures, the distributor, are going crazy, they continue to show you at the premiere of Blade Twenty, and Catherine says you can show the premiere Come to Chicago, if you can be there."
Sloan flipped through the small notepad and replied.
"OK..."
He doesn't want to see too many friends and forests for the time being because of his health, and it's uncomfortable to frequently bear memories and fragments of the apocalypse. Before the words finished, O'Grady's phone call came in again.
"APLUS!"
He was surprised when he heard the anxious tone, "The British Competition Commission just issued a statement saying that 3DFX's acquisition of VideoLogic must be approved by the country's industrial strategy department!"
"What?"
Song Ya immediately became impatient, "Is there any possibility of not being approved?"
"In any case, that's something to worry about in the future. The current high stock price of 3DFX must be difficult to maintain." O'Grady replied: "Such bad news is really a blow to the head!"
Sure enough, investors and institutions still holding 3DFX stocks in the afternoon began to lose confidence. Under Song Ya's watchful eyes, the stock price fell all the way down forty dollars. Down to thirty knives, twenty-nine knives, twenty-eight knives, twenty-seven knives...
There was a cold curve in the Bloomberg machine, and there were a lot of changes of hands at around 26 dollars, which is around 400 million market value, and the short side should have run away. VideoLogic is also falling.
"SHXT!"
Song Ya, who can only talk now, is incompetent and furious.
"Someone is looking for you." Sloan answered the phone.
"who?"
"Should be Carl Icahn himself..."
"The British Prime Minister Beria, who took office last month, gave a speech earlier in 3DFX, saying that the UK also needs to cultivate its own semiconductor and Internet leader companies. The local councilor in Hertfordshire where VideoLogic is located also expressed to the media on the day of the suspension. Worried, have you noticed? No? Look boy, this is the problem. To play finance, you can’t just release the news and stare at the stock machine, but also understand and observe the international situation, local politics and even the people’s will..."
Carl Icahn's voice was very magnetic, and he didn't introduce himself or say hello. He directly said in the tone of the elders to the younger generation: "You can't just bury your head in technology, you also need to learn to deal with all kinds of people, such as the media, and Like... how to influence a country's industrial policy."
"Hehe, it sounds like you are very proud?" Song Ya frowned impatiently.
"You worked very hard, APLUS, wow, when you wake up, you don't care about your empty account, you don't reconnect with your lovers, you don't pay attention to the various businesses under your banner, and you drag your sick body straight to Tokyo...you really I was deceived, this is not like someone described you to me, I really thought you went there to see a doctor..."
Carl Icahn seemed to be drinking too much, and said drunkenly: "But you know what? The smarter you are, the more struggling you are, the more funny you are in my eyes, and the sadder you are. The man who swam, his great spirit of fighting against the wind and waves is moving and sympathetic, but unfortunately, what he sees is just a mirage, and he will never, ever set foot on land...until he drowns and dies."
What the hell? It's as if something is wrong with me, how much should you lose if you close the position with 26 yuan? Although he may have recovered some blood by other means, Song Ya could not help but interrupt the other party while listening to the complaint in his heart, "Are you in a bad mood, Mr. Icahn, did you pay too much today? You just called to say This nonsense!?"
"I admire you, I just want to teach you some Wall Street experience for free Boy haha..." Carl Icahn replied.
"Then return my money first, today's is not enough, you know what I mean."
"Huh, I don't remember asking you to raise money, but I made this call today because I was very happy. Just now, I finally got the chairman of the Marvel board of directors. In the morning meeting, they told me that they were looking forward to it. The upcoming movie Blade Runner, you invested in and starred in that African-American superhero movie, right? Wow, keep working hard, Marvel needs you to continue to help my comic heroes open up the blockbuster market..."
So it turns out that Carl Icahn finally completely defeated his old enemy Perelman, so he drank a little wine happily and lost his mind? "I look forward to our continued collaboration," he said.
Provocative method? "I will try my best to support the blade fighters. This is my own business. You don't need to worry about it. But at the same time, I want to remind you, Mr. Icahn, if you don't want to hand over Delay and Goodman, you really shouldn't fight This is a broken call without any meaning. Do you know why? " Song Ya asked back.
"What?"
"I am Mr. Icahn, a twenty-two-year-old young man. I am not mature enough to be a rational person in the full economic sense." Song Ya threw out the answer.
"Wow, what do you think? Unconventional means, it's not wise, I'm not some Italian senior manager." Carl Icahn laughed.
"Not really, but you'll soon see what I want to do!"
Song Ya tilted her head, let the buttons on the headset touch her shoulder, and hung up skillfully.
"Catherine wants to see me, so she's in Chicago? Eremov must be there?" he asked Sloan.
"right."
"Let him come to see me alone... Uh, you can find the author of the original novel of Cat and Mouse Game, the legendary liar Abagorne's phone number, call him, and I will talk to him."
The yin and yang were so disgusting that I was so disgusted, "Let the PGE lawyer come over."
"Mr. Abagnell? Can I do you a favor? I want you to visit someone in prison and bring A+ Film Studios... no, is it convenient for someone from Littman Press to go with you? You can persuade me well." Advise the other party..."
A few days later, PGE Law Firm formally filed an indictment in the local court of Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, pointing at the former president of A+ Audio and the president of American music website, DeLay, who was suspected of illegal transactions, forged documents and improper Profit.
At the same time, Littman Publishing announced that they signed a publishing and film adaptation rights agreement with Jordan Belfort, the king of junk stocks who has been imprisoned and down, and asked to write a memoir-style novel called "The Wolf of Wall Street".
"Yes, there is a high probability that it will be shot by an A+ film studio. With the successful experience of cat and mouse games, we are very confident in the autobiographical film project."
Yeremov replied to reporters.
"But doesn't the Wolf of Wall Street generally refer to Mr. Carl Icahn?" a reporter asked.
"You are mistaken. It has always been Jordan Belfort. He is the truly recognized wolf of Wall Street."
