In the field of capital operations, "White Knight" is a commonly used term. It refers to a friendly company or investor who actively intervenes and provides help to prevent the target company from being acquired by a "hostile acquirer" (usually

known as the "Dark Knight") takes over.

When a company faces the threat of [hostile takeover], the [white knight] usually intervenes in the form of cooperation or merger to provide better conditions and opportunities to the target company to protect its interests. The [white knight] may propose a higher price

An acquisition price, better merger terms or more favorable business prospects to attract the support of the target company and its shareholders.

[White knights] are usually regarded as the saviors of target companies, because their intervention can provide the company with better development opportunities, avoid being controlled by [hostile acquirers], and safeguard the interests of shareholders and the long-term interests of the company.

It should be noted that a [white knight] may also be an investor or competitor who already has a cooperative relationship or common interests with the target company.

At this time, Morton Edgar looked at the blond young man with a beautiful smile with a complicated expression. He considered his tone and said to him:

"Mr. Abraham, we are discussing business. You know, if you represent the will of the Kingdom of Heaven, I will naturally be happy for the arrival of a knight like you. But, you are obviously only representing yourself.

, your [financial card] is in a false name, and your [assets] are not enough to help Valais Thermoelectricity overcome the difficulties ahead."

Morton's meaning is very clear. The most important thing for [White Knight] is the huge [assets] that can resist [hostile takeover]. A [financial card] registered under a pseudonym will naturally be able to mobilize considerable [Financial Street] resources.

is limited, and now Giovanni has used 1 billion [extraordinary assets] to carry out [destructive acquisitions].

What’s even more disgusting is that Giovanni also specially formed a public relations team to criticize Valais Thermoelectric.

Moreover, this damn vampire actually launched multiple [financial challenges] against Valais Thermoelectric. Many senior cadres in the company were crushed by it and went bankrupt. Now, just the backbone of the bankrupt companies are already in two countries.

More than 100 digits.

The other party wants to force the board of directors to carry out [equity dilution], let [assets] flow to the lower levels, avoid the collapse of the company's middle and lower-level buildings, and also weaken the board of directors' shareholdings to carry out [destructive acquisitions] in a decentralized manner.

"Mr. Morton, being a [white knight] in this world does require a lot of money, but this is the [Financial Street], and our essence is to be thaumaturges." Xia Xiu naturally understood Morton's euphemistic expression, and he smiled

Wagging his index finger, he replied to Morton, "The competition between thaumaturges is sometimes more bloody and straightforward. That's why [Financial Street] has [Financial Challenge], a battle rule composed of digital games."

"Intelligence, useful information, this is what traders need most."

Xia Xiu said, picking up the newspaper he had cut earlier and placing it in front of Morton Edgar.

Morton looked intently at the newspaper on the table.

[Hostile takeover case: Nasco.]

[Nasco is a famous food and beverage company in the Edici Commonwealth, known for its famous extraordinary cookie and candy products. In 1589, an unknown man named Carlton undertook a challenging

[Hostile takeover].

Carlton, with his firm will and strong desire, tried to turn Nasco into a private company. He bought a large number of Nasco shares and offered a higher purchase price to other shareholders. This move caused a stir

Nasco's board of directors was concerned and sparked a fierce controversy.

Nasco's board of directors and management expressed strong resistance to this [hostile takeover]. They believed that Carlton's purchase price undervalued the company and were concerned that he might take some actions that were detrimental to the company's interests. Therefore,

They have adopted a series of defensive measures to resist hostile takeovers.

Undeterred, however, Carlton steadfastly continued to increase his stake and tried to win over other shareholders. He used the media and public opinion to push his agenda, painting Nasco's board of directors as managers with no regard for shareholder interests.

.

Ultimately, after months of bitter fighting, Carlton succeeded in turning Nasco into a private company. He won over Nasco shareholders by offering them a higher purchase price and better deal terms.

support. This acquisition caused widespread concern and controversy and became a hot topic in the business community at that time.

This case illustrates the struggles and tactics involved in a hostile takeover. By acquiring shares and gaining shareholder support, Carlton successfully changed control of Nasco and promoted its own agenda. This case also highlights the importance of protecting shareholder rights and interests.

Company management responds to the challenge of hostile takeover.]

"This is·····"

Morton picked up the newspaper. This newspaper was news from the year before last. This kind of [hostile takeover] behavior often happens in [Financial Street]. Every year, every month, countless small companies [go bankrupt] and are expelled from [Financial Street].

】, so it is naturally impossible for him to read every company’s bankruptcy report.

And now this report specially tailored by the angel of heaven made him smell a familiar smell. The situation the other party was facing now was like Valais Thermoelectric.

"Carlton is just Giovanni's stand-in. He is the one who really privatized Nasco, and you are in the same situation as Nasco."

"[Shareholder voting challenge], hostile acquirers compete for control at the shareholders' meeting, and use shareholder votes to change the management or decision-making of the target company, and often the initiator of the challenge is the ghost within the company." Xia Xiu tapped his index finger on the table.

, replied word for word.

"You are now facing Giovanni's [hostile takeover]. Even if you activate the [poison pill measures], you will still have many problems. You must know that before going outside, you must first settle within, and your internal bugs are still inside the company.

I guess you should plan to [issue new shares] to dilute the other party's acquisition, but this behavior is undoubtedly a poison to quench thirst for Valais Thermoelectricity now, because you know that once you issue additional shares, the problems you have to face will be more troublesome, such as

Say - [Financial Leverage] and [Debt Restructuring]."

When two companies in a game are fighting, if company A wants to eat company B, it will usually use some methods to boil the frog in warm water, such as: malicious investigation and disclosure, media and public opinion manipulation, long-term accumulation of equity, company division and reorganization...

····

The most troublesome ones are [financial leverage] and [liability restructuring].

[Financial leverage] refers to a financial means to increase investment returns by borrowing funds. It allows individuals or businesses to use borrowed money to invest in the hope of obtaining a higher rate of return through capital gains or interest income. Financial leverage can increase

Investment has potential returns, but it also increases investment risks because borrowed funds require interest payments and may require repayment of principal.

[Debt restructuring] is a process of rearranging debt structures with the aim of reducing the debt burden and improving the debtor's financial condition. It usually involves negotiations with creditors to renegotiate the interest rate, repayment period or other terms of the debt, or

Reduce repayment pressure by converting debt forms. Debt restructuring can help debtors avoid default, protect their credit history, and provide them with a more sustainable financial structure.

[Financial leverage] and [Debt restructuring] are common financial tools and strategies in the financial field. [Financial leverage] can help individuals or companies obtain greater investment returns, but there are also risks, because borrowing needs to bear interest and

Repayment responsibilities. [Debt restructuring] is a means to deal with debt problems and financial difficulties, by rearranging the debt structure to reduce the debt burden and improve the financial situation.

In layman's terms, A wants to eat B, so he borrows money from C (bank loans are more common). A doesn't care how high the interest rate of C is, because when he borrows money to eat B, it is equivalent to borrowing money from C.

Apportioned to B - A uses high borrowing or debt restructuring to increase control over B, which also increases B's debt burden.

Unfortunately, B was bitten hard by A, so he couldn't use this lever. Not only could he not use it, but there was a high probability that third parties such as C, D, E, etc. would end up to make up for B. If not,

The [White Knight] riding a white horse comes to the rescue, B will die extremely cool, and his body after death will be manipulated by A to look like he likes.

These financial people are very dirty-minded. While they will kill you, they will continue to toy with you while the corpse is still warm.

Due to the previous investment by Morton Edgar, Valais Thermoelectric took too big a step and was in trouble (the funds invested have not yet been returned). In addition, an unknown second-five kid stabbed the enemy in the back and leaked the information, resulting in the fact that it is now being replaced by John Joe.

Fannie rode on him, raising and lowering his hands. The more he struggled, the more excited he became.

"Nasco is actually Giovanni's company, which means he has other funds secretly. You really brought me news that makes me even more troubled..." A wry smile appeared on Morton's face.

"Dear Mr. Morton, there is no need to be so desperate. We are here to help you solve your problem." Looking at Morton, whose face was shrouded in despair, the blond young man spread his hands and comforted him.

"What you call help is..."

"Mr. Morton, you continue with your plan [issuance of new shares]." Xia Xiu squinted his eyes and said to Morton.

"But, the matter of the mole..."

Before Morton could finish speaking, Xia Xiu continued with a smile:

"Three days, just give us [white knights] three days, and I promise to put Valais Thermoelectric's information in front of your desk. By then, you can reorganize your leadership and core decision-making layers; at the same time, Giovanni

Of [financial challenges], we take them all on your behalf.”

Mr. Morton was stunned for a moment, looking at the blond young man's handsome and confident smiling face. For a moment, he couldn't figure out why the other person had such strong confidence.

"If this is the case, we can really resist Giovanni's [hostile takeover], but can you really find the traitor in these three days?" Morton said slowly.

Xia Xiu smiled and said to Moton:

"Don't worry when we do our work."

"Do you need me to do anything?" Morton then asked.

"You only need to provide a list of Valège's internal employees. Don't worry, I only need basic information." Xia Xiu replied.

"It's all right." Morton nodded in agreement.

In the following time, Moton and Xia Xiu just chatted about the current situation for a while.

Thirty minutes later.

Morton personally sent Xia Xiu and his team out of the company through secret channels, and after leaving the company, the team rented a hotel in a luxurious area of ​​[France Island] where there is a lot of land as a base.

*********

Hotel interior.

"Abraham, what method did you say to find the traitor within three days?"

Sitting on the soft sofa in the hotel, Tours couldn't help but curiously started asking the blond young man.

During the internal conversation in the company just now, although he didn't say a word and acted like a little brother who only follows the golden retriever's lead, he still had doubts about the two big cakes drawn by the other party.

"If it were in the present world or other hubs, there would be no problem if you directly use mind fraud or thaumaturgy, or if I directly let [Venamonen] read minds. But the problem is that we are in [Financial Street] now, and this is [Crown]

], everyone follows financial rules and is equal." Tours expressed his doubts to Xia Xiu.

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, [Financial Street] has implemented a high-level protection measure for personal privacy. If psychic magic is used in the phase space of [Financial Street], then it will pop up thoughtfully for the recipient.

[Whether to spend XXX [assets] for privacy protection] related information.

The other big pie, [Financial Challenge] is a relatively bloody challenge in [Financial Street]. It is one of the original regulations stipulated by the "Financial Law".

The "Financial Law" stipulates: [Financial card holder (real name)] must participate in at least one battle (transaction) per week. If he fails to fight, he must pay an armistice fee to the Federal Reserve Bank.

Holders can use their own assets, their own future, etc. as collateral to borrow money from the Twelve [Edici Federal Reserve Bank] to fight (transaction) or contribute their own funds to fight, and the winner will get it. A large amount of money, losers will lose their future bit by bit when they lose money.

When the money lost due to failure exceeds the guarantee, bankruptcy will be declared. The consequences of bankruptcy depend on how much the holder has lost in total. If it is minor, it may mean losing some important things (except for myself, others will forget that these people, things, etc.) objects), or even lose their 'fact of existence' and die.

[Edici Federal Reserve Bank] is the operational branch of the "Federal Reserve System" of the Edici Federation's central banking system. There are 12 banks in total. Each bank is in charge of its own federal reserve jurisdiction. The shares of each bank are a mixture of public and private, and are not completely Government owned.

At the same time, the [Financial Behemoth] formed by these twelve banks guards the [Financial Street] and defends the leadership qualifications and leadership position of the Edici Federation for the [Financial Street] and the [Financial Genealogy].

"Tulsi, you are really far behind the current development of Edici. You don't know that in order to sign [The Dominator] as their thugs, they specially gave [The Dominator] a [Master Special Channel Loan] ], this loan allows you to embody the [Incarnation of the Master] into the [Financial Street]."

Xia Xiu looked at Turs with an expression that said, "You've fallen behind the times." He took out three loan forms that had already been filled in with information and information.

Turs stared blankly at the loan form submitted by the blond young man. The lender's name was clearly written on it, and the only thing that needed to be confirmed now was the exclusive [Spiritual Certification] column on it.

"Just press your fingerprints, the process will be quick." The blond young man smiled at the three of them.
