Chapter 1476 The Undercurrent Surges in Finger Company

The more Meng Chang listened, the more he felt that there was something strange behind this incident.

He did not interrupt, but continued to listen carefully.

Fan Xiaodong paused for a moment, then said: "If the news that Dayak Group is going to sell Zhito Company is true, then the senior management of Zhito Company must have their own considerations and plans."

"After hearing the news, I was observing the movements of Zhitou's top management through various channels, and finally found some clues."

"There is a high-level executive in Finger Company named Charles Kotick. He is different from designers like Chretien. He was the co-founder of Finger Company from the very beginning. He is not a designer, but he is the main financial backer. At the highest point, nearly 40% of Zhitou’s shares were in his hands, and he was the real power figure in Zhitou’s company.”

"Not only that, after Finger Company was acquired by Dayak Group, he was deeply trusted by Dayak Group, won over other co-founders without any suspense, and became the CEO of Finger Company."

"After the Dayak Group bleeds heavily, gave Tengda a large sum of money, and forcibly delisted Zhitou through a privatization offer and gained complete control, after a lot of twists and turns, it went public again. And in the process, The Dayak Group very generously gave Charles about 10% of the shares!"

"It can be seen that Charles is deeply trusted by the Dayak Group, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the real controller of the Tou company."

Meng Chang nodded slightly, which is actually not difficult to understand.

The Dayak Group took great pains to take back the shares from Tenda because they believed that Tenda was an enemy and a competitor. Leaving the shares and the right to operate the national service in the hands of Tenda would cause great harm to ioi, so they decided to He did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to get it back.

The purpose of distributing some shares to the top executives of the finger company is to motivate them to design ioi well and earn more money.

Delisting is to gain complete control, while re-listing is to re-enter the capital market and obtain more benefits.

Among the top management of the Finger Company, people from the Dayak Group value Charles the most. As for why... Maybe it's because he has grown into a shape that capital likes.

In this regard, high-level executives who understand capital operations are much more pleasing than those who only know how to design games stupidly.

Fan Xiaodong continued: "Then I did some investigation and found that Charles seemed to be lobbying everywhere. He successfully persuaded four investment institutions to jointly fund and establish an investment company registered in the Cayman Islands."

"In addition, he and his younger brother set up a fund management company. From a structural point of view, this fund management company is the sole partner of that investment company, that is, the actual manager of funds."

Meng Chang quickly understood: "So...this new investment company established by four investment companies is actually controlled by this fund management company, and this fund management company is in turn controlled by Charles and his brother. .As for the four investment companies that jointly funded... are actually just the funders behind it, and do not participate in the actual management."

Fan Xiaodong: "Yes! This matter is very interesting. Why did Charles go to great lengths to set up this investment company? Since it is an investment company, he must invest in something, right? What reason did he use to convince these four big companies? What about the investment company that contributes money and becomes the gold owner?"

Meng Chang thought for a moment, and said, "He... wants to force the palace? Wants to cut off the barbarian!"

Fan Xiaodong nodded: "Yes! This is the only explanation!"

"Obviously, the Dayak Group regards the finger company as a negative asset and wants to sell it, but Charles doesn't think so. After all, he is the co-founder of the finger company and a veteran in the game industry. No one knows better than him The value of video games and the value of finger companies."

"Charles regards the sale of the Dayak Group as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"He probably wanted to use other potential buyers to wait and see, and tried his best to lower the value of the finger company, so that Dayak Group was forced to sell it to himself at a relatively low price."

"Of course, I don't know exactly how to do this. I guess, on the one hand, Charles should have fooled the Dayak Group, saying that the ioi is no longer available, and no one will offer more lucrative conditions than this, and on the other hand. On the one hand, it is through other channels, such as some investment companies that have invested in the Dayak Group project to put pressure on the Dayak Group."

"Although there is an advisory group assigned by the Dayak Group within the Finger Company, which is responsible for analyzing possible potential buyers and the other party's bid, Charles is the CEO of the Finger Company after all, and can obstruct it in various ways, and even use the power of the CEO to dissolve it. this advisory group."

"Since Charles has made up his mind to do this, he must have a greater certainty."

Meng Chang pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Sure enough, only capital can defeat capital."

"Boss Pei is not the only one who has recognized the weakness of the Dayak Group."

"This Charles, on the surface, refers to the CEO of the Tou Company, who works diligently for the Dayak Group, but once he encounters such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will show his fangs and want to stand up and become the master."

"The point is...he really has a great chance of success!"

"Assuming he can really make good use of this opportunity, use various methods to fool the Dayak Group, and find ways to make some negative news to depress the value of the finger company while trying to facilitate the transaction, then he can really make a lot of money. Pen."

"As the CEO, he has a lot of power. As long as a little negative news is inadvertently leaked, the stock price of the finger company will continue to fall."

"However, there are risks for him to do so, so the action must be fast!"

"Dayak Group contacted some buyers privately, but the talks were not good. This is because the intention of running away is too obvious. These buyers feel like they are taking over the pan, and they are not optimistic about the prospects of Zhitou Company, so they still They are waiting and watching. If they don’t make a move, Charles can buy back the shares from the Dayak Group at a low price. But if it takes a long time to make other companies wake up, maybe they will grab Charles.”

"Also, Charles's operation looks very high-end and dazzling, but the more complex the operation, the bigger the problem, it must have violated some detailed regulations, and it will definitely affect the interests of other people, especially small shareholders. .These people are not going to let it go, they will definitely take Charles to court and hope that this transaction can be suspended."

"Of course, Charles will have a strong team of lawyers who won't lose the case easily, but he can't afford it either. So, the most likely result is that they will settle out of court, and Charles will lose money and avoid disaster. But anyway, As long as this happens, it will be delayed for a long time."

"The only variable here... is Boss Pei!"

"That's why you came to ask me Mr. Pei's opinion on this matter?"

Fan Xiaodong was very happy, and talking to a smart person would save his worries: "Yes, if Mr. Pei doesn't make a move, the final result will probably be that Tou Company has successfully redeemed itself, but strictly speaking, it's not considered redeemed. It should be said that Charles became the biggest winner. .”

"But if Mr. Pei makes a move...it's hard to say, no one can guess what Mr. Pei will do."

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Chang said, "I think... Mr. Pei may buy Finger Company."

"Since Charles thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wants to lower the value of Finger Company, then for Mr. Pei, this is also a very good deal."

"Although GOG is now invincible in the world, ioi is still a potential competitor after all, and it is still influential in the world."

"If you buy it, it will be equivalent to controlling the entire MOBA game market in your own hands. At that time, if ioi makes money, Mr. Pei will not lose money; if ioi loses popularity, it will mean that GOG completely dominates the world, and Mr. Pei will still not lose money! "

"I don't think Mr. Pei can't fail to see this kind of thing."

"Furthermore, Mr. Pei's set of punches against ioi through GOG, especially the various activities during the Spring Festival, shows that Mr. Pei has devoted a lot of effort to this matter. If there is no back-up, I am I don't believe it."

Fan Xiaodong was also excited: "Yes, that's what I want to say!"

"Supposing Mr. Pei makes a move, what will happen? Charles has made a lot of preparations. Just as he was about to take over at a low price, Tengda appeared! The Dayak Group was naturally overjoyed. They were going to sell anyway. Is it the same for anyone? As long as you have more money!"

"At that time, it will become a two-party bidding. Although Charles has a lot of money on hand, it is obviously incomparable with Tengda."

"Then... the shares of the finger company will have a situation of plummeting first and then skyrocketing..."

"If we can buy at the bottom and sell at the top, we can profit even though we're not actually in the trade."

"But the only question now is, is Mr. Pei going to make a move? If Mr. Pei doesn't make a move and the stock price can't rise, then our buying stocks is purely for nothing."

Meng Chang thought for a while: "Leave this matter to me. Later, I will report to Mr. Pei. I will find a way to pretend to mention this matter inadvertently, and see Mr. Pei's attitude."

Fan Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Be careful, Mr. Pei is so smart, if he sees our intentions, it might be self-defeating."

Meng Chang patted his chest, and replied very firmly: "Don't worry! I have roughly figured out President Pei's temper now, and there will be no problems."

Fan Xiaodong was very happy: "Okay, as long as we have definite news, we will buy the shares of Zhitou Company. This time we may not earn as much as before, but it will definitely be considerable!"

If there was no accurate information from Meng Chang, even if Fan Xiaodong saw this opportunity, he would never dare to make a move.

The reason is simple, the risk is too great!

If there is a slight mistake, it may turn from a blood profit to a blood loss.

But if you can get definite news from Mr. Pei, it will be completely different!
