Chapter 1279 Catch Who Bullies Whom

December 22nd.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that the transaction between Fukang and Yuanfang complied with the law. Fukang's shares changed hands, and Yuanfang held 16% of Gome's shares.

By this time, although the offer announcement had not yet been made to all shareholders, the secret was hardly a secret any more.

Even ordinary people know things, shareholders will not know?

But now, all we can do is wait.

Li Dong may launch a tender offer to all shareholders after his shareholding reaches 30%, and we will see the situation at that time.

Even if no tender offer is made, whether it is Li Dongsheng or Gome Sheng, Gome will undergo major changes.

And since the secret is no longer a secret, Li Dong is completely rude.

On the afternoon of December 22, Li Dong reached an agreement with four small shareholders at one time.

Shen Xuehua holds 2% of the shares, Legend Holdings holds 1% of the shares, a senior executive of Yongle Department holds 1% of the shares, and Citibank holds 2% of the shares. The four companies jointly sold their shares.

Because no tender offer was initiated and the shareholding increased by more than 5%, there was no need to make an announcement.

But now that everyone is paying attention, how can they not know the inside story.

Not long after the deal was concluded, the outside world was completely shocked!

So far, Li Dong's shareholding ratio is as high as 22%, which is close to Gome's 35%, and the gap is only between Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase.

Once Li Dong wins these two companies, his shareholding ratio will be as high as 37%. At that time, Gome will change hands.

...

Du Juan, who had just arrived in the Chaoshan area, had an ugly and scary face when she heard the news!

too fast!

It's so fast that people are caught off guard, and so fast that people don't have time to react.

22% off!

How many days has it been?

A week before and after, Li Dong won 22% of Gome's shares, and Du Juan began to feel scared.

At the hotel, Du Juan immediately made a phone call and said in a deep voice, "Start negotiating with the major shareholders in circulation, and immediately purchase the tradable shares in their hands.

You can pay a premium, but the premium is not more than 50%, so don't ask me for an opinion.

Also, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan must be appeased.

CRMC's current attitude is unclear, and people are also communicating with them. Buy back if you can. As for the money, don't worry, I will raise it right away.

Now, life and death, in an instant, we can't afford to lose! "

"Know!"

The person on the other side of the phone can also feel this kind of solemnity, and he said nothing after agreeing.

...

On December 23, Shen Qian returned to China.

On the same day, Gome announced that the Huang family had repurchased 300 million shares of outstanding shares. So far, the Huang family's shareholding ratio has risen to 36.5%.

On this day, Li Dongren was not idle in the distance on his way to the airport.

Yuanfang once again reached an agreement with an investment bank to acquire 100 million outstanding shares in its hands.

Yuanfang, the shareholding ratio rose to 22.5%.

The shareholding dispute is becoming clearer and clearer.

The Huang family and Yuanfang currently hold a total of 59% of the shares.

Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and CRMC hold 22% of the shares.

On the Yongle side, the shareholding ratio dropped to 7%.

Small and medium-sized investment banks and other institutions have a shareholding ratio of 8% to 9%.

What is left is the tradable shares in the hands of retail investors.

Because Gome has not yet resumed trading, some large institutions can use over-the-counter transactions to conduct transactions.

But retail investors do not have that power, nor do they have that strength.

Therefore, this part of the tradable shares should not be traded until after the resumption of trading, or it can only wait for the two companies to decide the outcome, and the last party adopts a delisting plan to fully acquire the tradable shares, and then it will be the turn of retail investors to enter the market.

The stock market is like this, retail investors have no rights.

They are the part that is locked up,

No matter how the opponent fights, they can only watch the show.

Unlike other institutions, even tradable shares can open up special channels for over-the-counter transactions, which will also be recognized by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

At this time, the business world has almost completely quieted down, and everyone is watching the Gome equity dispute.

Li Donglai was aggressive and unstoppable. In an instant, he won 22.5% of the shares, which surprised people.

What's more, there is news from Xiangjiang that Yuanfang is purchasing the convertible bonds issued by Gome, which may be converted into shares.

Once the conversion is successful, perhaps Gome will really change hands.

This battle came so suddenly, and the time when it will end may be beyond everyone's expectations.

In fact, 15% of Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase are already in Li Dong's pocket.

Li Dong's actual shareholding was as high as 37.5%, but at this time, Li Dong wanted to take a break and give Du Juan the illusion that she still had a chance.

Li Dong continued to buy tradable shares and minority shareholders' shares, with the purpose of creating more and more pressure, so that Du Juan had no choice but to inject capital.

When Gome injects capital, he will be able to make a big deal and win the shares of Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley in one fell swoop.

At that time, Du Juan, who has no other capital in her hands, will be completely powerless to fight back, and it will be time for Li Dong to clean up.

...

Airport.

Li Dong's convoy drove directly into the special passage.

When they arrived at the VIP waiting area, many people looked sideways when they saw Li Dong.

Li Dong also glanced around, and when he saw Sina Lao Cao was there, Li Dong smiled and said, "Old Cao, what a coincidence, pick him up?"

Seeing Li Dong take the initiative to greet him, Cao Guowei nodded and said with a smile, "Well, Dongzi, are you going to pick him up too?"

"My daughter-in-law is returning home, so I can't pick her up. Why don't you pick up Lao Jiang?"

Cao Guowei didn't have time to pay attention to the daughter-in-law Li Dong was talking about, so he said with a dry smile, "It's Lao Jiang, he just happened to be coming to the capital, why don't we get together at night?"

"Come on, I won't go, lest you feel uncomfortable."

Li Dong joked that recently Sina and Focus Media reached an agreement that Sina would issue 47 million new shares to acquire Focus Media's Focus Advertising business.

Focus Media is currently the largest advertising company in China. It does well in outdoor billboards, framed advertisements, Internet advertisements, hypermarket advertisements, theater advertisements, and Focus Building TVs.

However, during the 315 party this year, Focus was exposed to leaking customer data, which caused a lot of impact.

Coupled with various factors, Jiang Nanchun decided to sell most of the advertising business, leaving only Internet advertising, outdoor billboards, and theater advertising.

Others were sold to Sina.

Because Shen Qian's flight hadn't arrived yet, Li Dong said again: "Focus has cooperated with us a lot, and they took part of the hypermarket advertising business.

When the time comes to take over, don't advertise your Sina Weibo in our hypermarket, otherwise, I will terminate the cooperation.

In fact, I think it’s fine for you to engage in portals. Why do you engage in Weibo? Isn’t this a waste of time?

You see, how miserable you are being suppressed by us now, and the page is also very rough.

Lao Cao, why don't you think about it and close Weibo directly?

In order not to make ends meet, you will continue to issue new shares to raise funds, resulting in less and less equity in your hands. Don’t be the same as back then, almost being covered by Lao Chen. "

Shanda Chen Tianqiao almost bought Sina at the beginning, and Sina finally launched the "poison pill" plan to keep the controlling stake.

Otherwise, Sina would have been surnamed Chen long ago.

The so-called "poison pill" plan is actually simple. It issues new shares, dilutes the shares held by the opponent, and increases the acquisition cost of the opponent.

As for why Gome does not use it at present, it is very simple, Gome has no money.

Once they issue new shares, it will make it easier for Li Dong to acquire Gome.

Moreover, Li Dong held more than 20% of the shares. Even if the "poison pill" plan was adopted temporarily, Li Dong would not be poisoned to death. The most likely possibility was that Du Juan herself was poisoned to death.

So at present, neither party will mention the issue of new shares.

Li Dong is confident, but Du Juan is afraid.

This is not the same as when Chen Tianqiao acquired Sina back then.

Cao Guowei's face was full of helplessness, and he said after a while: "Sina Weibo has nearly 100 million users..."

"Tsk tsk, half of this bullshit is fake, right?"

Cao Guowei became angry with embarrassment: "Dongzi, don't talk nonsense. You have enemies all over the world now. I am too lazy to attack you at this time. If you don't restrain yourself, be careful that I will join hands with Lao Ma and the others to get you!"

Li Dong grinned and said, "Okay, I won't hit you anymore.

But I'm serious, you guys have no future in Weibo, the medicine is bitter, you have to listen to me.

After I won Gome, I completed the retail layout.

At that time, I will start to exert my strength, don't miss Weibo, even the portal side will be defeated by us. "

Cao Guowei was already powerless, so he didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

The others were speechless. No wonder Li Dong has a bad reputation.

Anyone who is caught here will have to be bullied for a while before he is satisfied.

Lao Cao is here waiting for people, you wait for your people to get better, why do you have to bully Lao Cao.

After a while, Jiang Nanchun came over.

When seeing Li Dong, Jiang Nanchun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dongzi, I'm flattered to bother you to pick me up."

Before Li Dong could speak, Cao Guowei said angrily: "He picked you up, don't dream.

This guy, he's been doing a lot of talking lately, he's only happy if he offends all the people in the business world.

Just now I kindly communicated with him a few words, and I almost didn't die of anger. "

Jiang Nanchun couldn't help laughing and said: "Dongzi, the old horse complains to us in the group every day, and now the group is almost becoming a battlefield to attack you. You are trying to push Lao Cao to the old horse."

Li Dong said speechlessly: "I'm just telling the truth, Lao Cao's ability to resist pressure is too weak, so it has nothing to do with me.

As for the group, I don't have time to talk to Lao Ma now.

I'm busy with big things, so he's the only one, like a wronged little daughter-in-law, chattering annoyingly.

If you have the time, think about the right way. "

Jiang Nanchun was stunned for a moment, and then said to Cao Guowei: "Let's go, I can't stand it if I stay any longer.

It's just old horse, if it's someone else, he'll be taunted by him every day, and he'd already be desperate. "

Cao Guowei agreed, but he still said: "This guy said he picked up a wife, should we wait?"

Jiangnan Chunren couldn't help laughing and said: "There is such a thing? Let's talk about it earlier. Let's wait and see. I want to see who can subdue the big devil like you."

Li Dong smiled and said: "It's useless for you to see, I will not be surrendered by men."

Cao Guowei and the two couldn't stop laughing, and they didn't bother to argue.

In the business world, unless the fish is dead and the net is broken, otherwise, everyone is actually inextricably linked in private.

Let’s talk about the Internet industry. When the 3Q war breaks out in the future, everyone feels that Brother Ma and Zhou Hongyi must be rivals.

In fact, the relationship between the two is actually quite good now.

It's normal for other bigwigs in the business world to have some conflicts because of business matters, but personal relationships are generally good.

Although Li Dong has offended many people, he also has many relationships in the industry.

On the side of the Huaxia Alumni Association and the Entrepreneur Club, Li Dong's status is very important now. Everyone swears at the street in private. When they really meet each other, a few words of ridicule are inevitable, but they will not turn their faces.

Everyone chatted, while others could only watch from afar.

The communication of these business tycoons, they have not yet been able to intervene.

Those who come to the VIP area to wait for others generally have a high status, but Li Dong is now one of the best in the business world, and ordinary people really don't have the confidence to go up and talk.

While talking, Li Dong smiled and said: "I won't talk to you anymore, my wife is here."

Cao Guowei and the two quickly looked over, and when they saw Shen Qian, they looked at each other, nodded slightly and said nothing.

The matter of Shen Qian and Li Dong is not a secret in the industry.

Don't look at the daughter-in-law crying now, it's hard to say whether it will work or not.

But there is no need to say such things in front of Li Dong.

When Shen Qian came over, the two greeted Shen Qian and left early.

They all know Shen Qian, and there is no way they don't know each other. If they really don't know Shen Qian, who used to be the master of Yuanfang Technology, that's too outdated.

As soon as they left, Shen Qian smiled and said, "Why are you with these two?"

"It just happened to happen that Sina was about to acquire Focus's advertising business, so we had a casual chat.

I persuaded Lao Cao to give up Weibo, but he was still not happy, saying that I offended people, and you said that this incident caused trouble. Didn’t I do it for him? "

Shen Qian immediately rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "I'm convinced of you, can you stop doing this kind of thing, do you really want to become the existence that is talked about in the industry?

In the past few years, entrepreneurs in the business world have been offended by you all over the place.

I see, sooner or later you will be beaten. "

"Isn't it?"

Li Dong asked back not too confidently, and said after a while: "It's okay if there are fewer people, but there are too many people. I can't beat four hands with two fists. It seems that I have to restrain myself, so as not to be beaten."

Shen Qian couldn't help laughing, and when she got into the car, Shen Qian said: "Don't keep saying these things to make me laugh, but talk about business, what should Gome do now?"

"Don't worry, I'll buy some more shares and force Du Juan to propose a capital injection.

At that time, we will also convert the shares, and the victory or defeat will be at that time. "

Shen Qian nodded, thought for a while and said, "Actually, the biggest variable now is CRMC, which holds 7% of the shares alone. Once Du Juan takes it, their shareholding ratio will be too much."

Li Dong doesn't know much about CRMC, and the other party is too low-key. In fact, domestic entrepreneurs don't know much about it.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Dong said: "I can only talk about it. I can't grasp what the other party thinks for the time being."

Shen Qian smiled and said, "I'll talk about it later, one of my classmates works there, maybe it will help."

"Your classmate?"

"You forgot, I'm a returnee!"

Shen Qian joked that CRMC is not well-known in China, but its parent company, American Capital Group, is not weak.

The reason why I say not weak, not that I am not famous, is because the other party is indeed too low-key.

Low-key, you only know the five major investment banks, but you don't know that the US capital group controlled more than one trillion US dollars in funds in 2008!

It must be said that such a behemoth has been ignored, which is also a skill.

Of course, no matter how low-key it is, it doesn't mean it's unknown.

Shen Qian graduated from Kellogg School of Business, which is also one of the top business schools. It is normal for many graduates to go to the front of the stage and work in American Capital Group.

Seeing her swaying, Li Dong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, take your time.

You just went to Xiangjiang, and then went to the United States, and now you talk about things when you come back, you are more tired than me.

After a few days of rest, I will let Sun Tao and the others go and have a talk. "

Seeing this, Shen Qian smiled and said: "Solve this matter as soon as possible, so that you don't have to worry about work until the end of the year.

Don't forget, you have big things to do at the end of the year. "

Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the big deal?"

"snort!"

Shen Qian snorted and ignored her.

Li Dong laughed and said, "I see, are you in such a hurry to get married? Or are you afraid that I'm too good and ran away with others?"

"Fuck you, I'm not worried!"

"..."

The two laughed and quarreled for a while. Li Dong seemed to be in a good state of mind. This was probably why he liked Shen Qian to stay by his side. He could talk about some things freely without fearing that the other party would not understand. )!!
