Chapter 1265 What to Do with Me!

Outside the US headquarters.

Li Dong bid farewell to Du Juan and got into the car with a serious expression on Li Dong's face.

Control the footsteps of Gome, from now on!

The acquisition of listed companies is generally divided into two ways: tender offer and negotiated acquisition.

At this moment, Li Dong naturally adopted the second method.

The tender offer is not suitable at present. On the one hand, Gome has suspended trading, and on the other hand, the tender offer is relatively restrictive.

According to regulations, the tender offer is time-limited, ranging from 30 days to 60 days.

In addition, every 5% increase or decrease in shareholding must be announced on the stock exchange and all shareholders must be notified in writing.

Moreover, there is still a limit to the tender offer, which is to adopt the so-called principle of price equality.

That is to say, even if it is the smallest shareholder, if you buy shares from him at a high price, then you must pay the same high price to all shareholders.

Even shareholders who have reached an agreement before have the right to ask you to make up the difference.

For Li Dong, this is absolutely not advisable.

He offered Shen Xuehua 30 billion yuan, 2% of the shares, and 600 million yuan.

Once it is carried out in accordance with the regulations, then Li Dong will have to make up for Fukang's 2.4 billion and Gome's 2.4 billion, which will increase the expenditure by nearly 1 billion in an instant.

This is still at present, and the next negotiation and acquisition with other shareholders will also cause the price to rise, and the gap may be as high as tens of billions, so Li Dong is naturally unwilling to do so.

These restrictions make it impossible for Li Dong to make a tender offer at present, and can only adopt an agreement acquisition.

Negotiated acquisitions are much simpler than tender offers. The acquirer and shareholders conduct private transactions and negotiate privately. In terms of prices, they are negotiated by themselves and have nothing to do with third parties.

This is one of them!

Second, it is different from a tender offer where the shareholding reaches 5% or every 5% increase requires an announcement and notification to all shareholders.

For agreement acquisitions, the conditions for information disclosure are more lenient, and an announcement must be made only if the company holds more than 30% of the shares.

And once the securities regulatory agency's permission is obtained, the offer announcement can be exempted.

The differences and limitations of these conditions, in fact, can not say who is good and who is bad.

A tender offer has the advantages of a tender offer, and a negotiated acquisition has the benefits of a negotiated acquisition, but for Li Dong at present, the second path is naturally more in line with his psychological expectations.

Li Dong does not expect to obtain permission from the securities regulatory agency to make an announcement of exemption.

There is no need to make an announcement for holding less than 30% of the shares, which saves Li Dong a lot of trouble. Otherwise, he will have to make an announcement when he acquires Fukang's shares next.

Now, as long as the two parties reach an agreement, Li Dong and Fukang can first entrust an intermediary agency to save stocks and deposit funds.

In this case, there is no need to submit a written report to the securities institution for the time being.

When Li Dong holds more than 30% of the shares, Li Dong can submit for review at one time.

In fact, if possible, Li Dongning would rather submit a written report at one time only after holding more than 50% of the shares. However, according to regulations, this practice has violations.

At Li Dong's level, when acquiring a company, he naturally didn't want to be caught and attacked.

When Li Dong was meditating, Sun Tao and the others kept quiet and did not speak.

After about two or three minutes, Li Dong said: "Mr. Sun, have you made an appointment with the people from JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley?"

There were actually two people in the meeting room just now.

However, these people are only responsible for supervising Gome. If you want to buy the shares in their hands, it is useless to find them, you have to find someone who can make the decision.

At present, both of them have managers in China.

Shen Qian and the others are still in contact with major bond-holding investment institutions recently, and they don't have much energy and time to contact these two for the time being.

Now that Li Dong has arrived in the capital, of course he hopes to make a quick decision, otherwise things will change later.

JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley currently hold 15% of Gome's shares, and after Li Dong took over the shares of Fukang and Shen Xuehua,

He holds 18% of the shares in his hands.

Added together, that's 33%, which is not much different from the 35% in Huang's hands.

As long as he wins the support of several other investment banks, or simply wins the shares in the hands of several investment banks, Li Dong can exercise his rights as a major shareholder.

Within the company, major shareholders still have a lot of authority.

Not only can you get the support of more people, make company decisions, issue new shares, and hold board and shareholder meetings at any time...

These rights are conducive to Li Dong's full control of Gome in the future.

At that time, even if the Huang family reacted, it would be too late to change anything in a short time.

What Li Dong wants is to be quick, otherwise he will give Huang a chance.

Although Huang doesn't have much money in his hands now, Lao Huang has a lot of connections in Chaoshan.

Merchants in the Chaoshan area can also be considered united.

Given time for the Huang family, the other party is likely to ask Chaoshan businessmen for help. There are many big businessmen here, including Lao Li from Xiangjiang, who are all from Chaoshan.

Once the Huang family finds a helping hand, with Li Dong's current strength, he may not be able to compete with the Huang family.

Therefore, the strategy that Li Dong can play is to be fast, faster, and the fast Huang has no time to react and raise funds.

Chaoshan merchants are rich, but it doesn't mean they will support you free of charge.

When they see that the Huang family is not dominant, these people are not good fortune boys, so they will naturally not support each other, lest the Huang family fail in the end and be unable to repay the loan.

After Li Dong finished speaking, Sun Tao said in a condensed voice: "We have made an appointment, and the other party understands what we mean.

I mentioned the matter on Weibo, and both parties were very interested.

If you want to meet, we can meet in the evening. "

"Then at night, the two families will meet separately, and continue to run with me in the afternoon, and deal with Beverly first.

After solving the big and small motorcycles, we will have the capital to compete for the control of Gome! "

Sun Tao nodded hastily, and started calling to arrange appointments.

And Qi Yunna who was sitting in the back of the car was dumbfounded, what do you mean?

Although Qi Yunna is a distant executive and Li Dong's direct descendant, some things are related to company secrets, and she is not at the headquarters, so naturally no one will deliberately tell her these top secrets.

The last time Li Dong talked with Du Juan, Qi Yunna felt that Li Dong was a bit demanding.

At that time, Qi Yunna actually felt something was wrong when she heard Li Dong's tone.

However, she never thought that Li Dong would have the idea of ​​taking control of Gome.

However, the conversation between Li Dong and Sun Tao just now did not avoid her, after hearing a few words, Qi Yunna's heart stirred up a storm!

Fukang, Morgan Stanley, and Jr. Morgan are all major shareholders of Gome.

The three companies hold a total of 23% of Gome's shares, and Li Dong actually hit them!

Qi Yunna was so shocked, Li Dong's appetite is really huge now!

Who would have thought that what Li Dong wanted was not just online, not just investing in Gome, but he had deeper demands!

Seeing that Sun Tao was busy on the phone, Li Dong was silent. Qi Yunna endured it for a long time, but couldn't take it any longer, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, what you and Mr. Sun said..."

Li Dong smiled and said: "I thought you could hold it back, but it seems that your concentration is still not enough, you need to practice more."

Qi Yunna secretly rolled her eyes, am I not strong enough?

Do you know what you're talking about?

The former No. 1 retailer, even now, is the top five or even the top three in retail, and the leader in the field of home appliances.

Although Suning is now the actual leader in home appliances, some official data has not been released, and no official organization has released some data to prove that Suning is the number one brother.

Therefore, according to the current ranking in 2007, Gome is still the No. 1 retailer and home appliance No. 1 brother.

Li Dong wants to swallow Gome now. Anyone who hears such a shocking thing will be shocked.

When Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao talked about it, Yuan Chengdao and others were beyond surprised, let alone Qi Yunna.

After being despised by Li Dong for a while, Qi Yunna had no choice but to say dryly: "Mr. Li, how can I have as much determination as you, what do you mean, you plan to buy Gome?"

Li Dong smiled and said: "In the first half of the sentence, I think you are mocking me.

But forget it, don't care about women.

Now that you've heard it, it's good to know it yourself, and don't pass it on to me.

At present, this is still a secret, unless it is negotiated with the two, otherwise, it is easy to go bad. "

Qi Yunna nodded hastily, Li Dong didn't tell her she would understand that such things should not be spread indiscriminately now.

Yuanfang's acquisition of Gome will impact not only Gome's shareholders, but also all walks of life.

Especially in the retail industry, if they really knew about Yuanfang's plans, it would be inevitable to cause chaos.

Seeing her nodding, Li Dong smiled and said nothing.

When she arrived in the capital, Qi Yunna was a landlord, plus she was also a distant executive and Li Dong's direct descendant, so there were some things that she couldn't hide from her.

Since she can't hide it, let her be prepared in advance, lest something bad happen in the middle.

...

afternoon.

Li Dong and Cheng Gang met secretly.

This time it's really a secret, the venue arranged by Qi Yunna, including the reception, is all done by Qi Yunna herself to prevent the news from leaking out.

Now, when Li Donggang entered Gome, he would meet Cheng Gang, which is easy to associate.

Outsiders don't know who Cheng Gang is, but it doesn't mean that everyone in Gome doesn't know.

Therefore, this meeting is much more rigorous than last time.

After seeing Cheng Gang, Li Dong saw that he was getting older, so he didn't have the heart to sympathize with him, so he said straight to the point: "We will sign an agreement immediately, and we will first conduct stock and fund custody."

The custody of funds and stocks shows that Li Dong's money is already in place.

As long as a written report is submitted to the Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, after the announcement, the transfer of this share will be officially completed, and the two will be completely cleared.

This is even happier than the deal between Li Dong and Gome, at least Li Dong didn't drag on the funding issue.

Cheng Gang actually understood what he meant. This guy wanted to make a quick decision and didn't want to give himself a chance to repent. What's more, this guy might think that he might not survive to that time.

After taking a deep look at Li Dong, Cheng Gang was silent for a while before saying: "Yes, but it's useless for me to sign the contract, let's do it tomorrow, we will sign the contract tomorrow.

Are you looking for the custodian or am I? "

"I'll do as long as I come, and I told you in advance that this is a secret, and within 3 months, no information will be leaked to the outside world!

Once someone notices it, you will bear all the losses I caused! "

Cheng Gang didn't care about these, but frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Li is so courageous!"

What he cares about is 3 months!

It cannot be disclosed within 3 months, which means that there will be no problems after 3 months.

That is to say, in Li Dong's plan, it only takes 3 months to acquire Gome.

For a giant company with tens of billions of assets and a dominant player in the industry, three months is really short.

It is worthwhile to spend several years or even longer to gain control of such an enterprise.

But now, what Li Dong told him was 3 months, maybe even shorter.

Cheng Gang had to admit that sometimes, Li Dong was really courageous. It was really not that easy to make a decision and carry out practical actions in such a short time.

Li Dong said lightly: "It's not about courage, but if you have hope, then do it.

Regardless of failure or success, after 3 months, everything is easy to say if I succeed, but if I fail, I will give up, there is nothing to hesitate. "

Cheng Gang also stopped talking and got up to stand up.

After thinking about it, Cheng Gang suddenly said, "Chen Yuhua is dead."

Li Dong naturally knew who Chen Yuhua was, and said calmly when he heard the words: "My condolences to Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Gang's heart turned cold, he turned to look at Li Dong and said, "Li Dong, I always thought I was cold-blooded, but only now did I realize that I underestimate the world!

An innocent woman died because of you, so you have no trouble at all? "

Li Dong frowned and said, "Mr. Cheng, you've lost your composure!

Innocent or not, I don't know, Chen Yuhua's death has nothing to do with me, right?

This is your family matter, how did you die, I don't know!

Also, I don't know her at all, why do you make me stir up trouble, do you shed a few tears and express your sympathy? "

Cheng Gang's lips moved, and he said after a while: "If it wasn't for that video..."

"I don't understand what Mr. Cheng means."

Li Dong interrupted: "First of all, I don't know Chen Yuhua, I just heard of this name and know that she is President Cheng's sister-in-law.

In addition, people cannot be brought back to life after death, so Mr. Cheng would like to express his condolences.

In the end, right and wrong, you have your own judgment!

Why die and for whom, Mr. Cheng knows all these better than me.

As for me, it has nothing to do with me! "

"It's none of your business to want one!"

Cheng Gang murmured softly, then said after a pause: "Mr. Li, thank you for teaching me a lesson.

I have always underestimated people in the world, until now, I realized that I am just a frog in the bottom of a well, and there are still reasons for all these years of wasting.

At least, I think I am less calm than Mr. Li. "

Li Dong said indifferently: "Mr. Cheng, you are polite, you will be ready tomorrow, and our efficiency is the most important thing.

As for other things, Mr. Cheng doesn't need to tell me that these parents are short-sighted. "

Cheng Gang laughed at himself, but didn't continue.

He originally thought that when he said that Chen Yuhua was dead, Li Dong would fluctuate a bit and lose his composure.

Who knew, Li Dong acted as though nothing had happened.

If it weren't for Li Dong's video, Chen Yuhua wouldn't have died.

Being able to make Li Dong so calm is not determined by wealth, Li Dong is at this age.

After this incident, Cheng Gang also understood that the young man in front of him was cold-blooded in his bones.

It's hard for others to say, at least Li Dong treats outsiders absolutely ruthlessly.

No wonder, no wonder the fourth child dared not seek revenge on Li Dong, this person is a bully and fears nothing!
