Chapter 805 Neither of these two international giants are vegetarians
The day passed quickly. At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Gao Jin was alone in the study and started calling Parker.
In his office on the top floor of the Fulham Building in New York, Parker looked at the phone in his hand, pressed the answer button with a calm expression and said, "Gao, why do you have time to call me today?"
"If you don't know what I want to ask you for, just hang up the phone!" Gao Jin said this very rudely. To Parker, you must not show any weakness.
According to Gao Jin's understanding of Parker, Parker has a strong desire to bully the weak.
It's just that Parker usually hides it very well, and no outsiders notice this characteristic of his. Gao Jin has played with Parker many times, and he keenly discovered this characteristic of Parker.
Parker also has a characteristic, which is strong resilience and super self-regulation ability.
"Gao, you are always so strong," Parker said with a smile.
After hearing this, Gao Jin snorted coldly and said, "I am forced to be strong. If I were not stronger, I guess the Xingling Group would no longer belong to me at this moment."
"Let's get down to business. Your Protoss Group is not allowed to acquire Activision Blizzard." Parker said this calmly.
"Is this your intention, your couple's intention, or rather, your group's intention?" Gao Jin asked this question calmly.
"Gao, no matter which group comes to power, they will not allow you to acquire Activision Blizzard."
"Your Protoss Group's acquisition of Activision Blizzard will have a fatal blow to the entire game industry, especially to American games."
"It's not good for the economy and it's not good for employment rates."
After Parker said these words, he began to wait for Gao Jin's reply and wanted to know what Gao Jin would say.
"Parker, we have not dealt with each other once or twice. Just tell us your conditions without beating around the bush." Gao Jin said this with a sarcastic expression on his face.
Who doesn't know that you, Parker, are a man who never gets off early without profit? At the critical moment when the Protoss Group of Integrity acquires Activision Blizzard, aren't you just trying to take advantage of the situation?
Do you really think your little thoughts are hidden deeply?
"It's very simple. I hope that after the results of this year's presidential election, you will increase investment in the United States and create no less than 10,000 jobs."
"This condition is not too much!"
Parker directly stated his purpose. The temptation just passed has passed, and now it is time to bargain for real money.
"You are so sure that your wife will win?" Gao Jin frowned and said this, wondering where Parker's confidence came from.
A mysterious smile appeared on Parker's face, and he said to the phone, "You don't need to know this. Do you just say that you agree to this condition?"
"If you agree, subsequent acquisitions will go smoothly. Don't forget, my wife is still in the position of commander-in-chief at this moment."
"For a company of Activision Blizzard's level to be acquired by a foreign company, the signature of the leader is required."
Gao Jinyi frowned, is it really like this? The final decision-making power lies not with the Ministry of Commerce but with the General Office.
Misstep.
"Okay, I agree"
"but"
"If my company is treated unfairly, I have the right to withdraw investment and lay off employees!"
Gao Jin could only say this, it could be considered as an added insurance for his investment. Otherwise, Parker would dare to unite with others to directly eat the Xingling Group's investment in the United States.
This kind of thing has never been done by our predecessors.
"Can"
Parker said this immediately and let out a long breath in his heart, as long as he can successfully reach a deal with Gao Jin.
This kind of thing is not visible to the public. Once it is discussed with Gao Jin and exposed, it will have a huge impact on the political careers of the Parkers.
Parker was betting that Gao Jin was not familiar with the U.S. presidential election game.
Now it seems that the bet was indeed right.
The phone was hung up, and Gao Jin and Alinda made it clear that the resistance had been eliminated and that the other party would not set up any more obstacles.
Increased lobbying efforts and won over Activision Blizzard in one fell swoop.
He called Heideshier again and asked him to contact Ernst & Young so that he could attack Activision Blizzard from the stock market and acquire Activision Blizzard as quickly as possible.
Strive to get 175% of the shares in the shortest possible time, no more, no less.
Prepare for delisting.
Gao Jin's plan is very simple. After acquiring Activision Blizzard, it will be delisted directly without any need to distribute the profits.
It was night in China, but it was daytime in the United States. In the afternoon, all parties started to take action.
Marcus led the elite team to step up the offensive. Ernst & Young CEO Stein placed an order with a company that he had been cooperating with for many years, suppressing Activision Blizzard's stock price.
A minimum drop of five percent must be guaranteed every day.
At the same time, one piece of negative news that affects Activision Blizzard's stock price must be released every day.
It is too late today, action will be launched tomorrow, and several forces are beginning to get busy.
Parker communicated with his wife, and Mrs. Parker did not interfere in the matter. Parker stepped forward and began to coordinate with many people to stop creating obstacles for Protoss Group to acquire Activision Blizzard.
Some people in the Ministry of Commerce, in particular, breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving Parker's call. The matter was finally resolved and their interests were not damaged.
United States, North Carolina, Wilmington
Marcus appeared on a farm on the outskirts of Wilmington, which belonged to Dawn Cabrera. The two had cooperated before, and this time Marcus came in person to convince Dawn Cabrera.
Dawn Cabrera is the chief director of Activision Blizzard and holds 5.8% of Activision Blizzard stock.
"Marcus, we are old friends, can you tell me who is trying to attract Activision Blizzard's attention?"
"I can sell the shares, but I don't want Activision Blizzard to sink."
Dawn looked at Marcus with a calm face and asked this question. Marcus showed hesitation on his face, and after a while he raised his head and looked at Dawn.
"Okay, this is you, I would never say that to anyone else."
"Star Spirit Group".
When Dawn heard this name, she narrowed her eyes. Unexpectedly, it was the Protoss Group that wanted to eat Activision Blizzard.
"Do you know why?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know, I just know that the other party is well prepared and will never give up until the goal is achieved."
"Dawn, let me tell you the truth. Starting tomorrow, the stock market suppression will begin, and Activision Blizzard's stock price will get lower day by day."
After Marcus finished speaking, he spread his hands. The meaning was very simple. I am just one of the links. The acquisition must have a result. Activision Blizzard will not be spared this time.
"The Ministry of Commerce will not approve the acquisition by Xingling Group"
"As far as I know, both the Donkey and Elephant groups don't like the Protoss Group very much, and they won't let the Protoss Group easily achieve their goals." Dawn said this with a playful expression on his face.
After listening to this, Marcus shook his head and said, "Dawn, you guessed it right. There is indeed a force preventing the acquisition by the Protoss Group."
"I believe you have also heard about the relationship between the chairman of Xingling Group and Parker. I can definitely tell you here that the relationship between the two of them is more complicated than you think."
"Mrs. Parker, at this moment, she continues to exercise her powers as commander-in-chief."
"One more thing, I have received a call from CEO Stein at noon today. All the help is no longer resistance."
"You know what this means".
After hearing what Marcus said, Dawn had a shocked expression on his face and looked at Marcus seriously. Marcus nodded with a serious expression on his face.
The meaning is very clear. Stop holding on to unrealistic illusions. The Protoss Group has reached a deal with the above, and there will not be any form of difficulty.
"Okay, I'll sell my shares to you. Let your people come over and we'll sign the agreement." Dawn Cabrera immediately made a decision to sell the shares and exit, not to participate in this matter.
The price Ernst & Young gives itself is very good, and you must give Ernst & Young face.
Another thing, it has been verified from Marcus’s mouth that the Protoss Group is determined to swallow up Activision Blizzard.
Although Activision Blizzard is the leader in the gaming industry, it also depends on who it is compared with. If compared with the behemoth like Protoss Group, Activision Blizzard will not be spared this time.
"Dawn, you made a wise choice. Stein told me to acquire the shares at the new price tomorrow," Marcus said with a smile.
After saying that, he took out his phone and started calling people outside the manor to enter the manor to complete the procedures.
Ernst & Young will start to suppress Activision Blizzard's stock price tomorrow. It certainly cannot be acquired at the current price. The cost has increased, and the acquisition price must be reduced.
Unless a new opponent enters the scene, no one can save Activision Blizzard.
Xingling Group and Ernst & Young are not vegetarian international giants. If you want to cause trouble, you must first consider whether you are qualified.
Tonight, Marcus acquired 5.8% of Activision Blizzard's shares from Dawn, and his elite also gained something, acquiring 6.1% and 6.1% respectively from the other two major shareholders.
Five point four shares.
By the end of the night, Marcus had acquired 32% of Activision Blizzard's shares.
It is 3.7 points away from the Activision Blizzard shares held by Dudley, the largest shareholder. Once the shares are acquired from a major director, Marcus will be the largest shareholder of Activision Blizzard.
At dawn, the stock market opened, and Activision Blizzard's stock price immediately dropped by three dollars, and then began to fluctuate.
Many institutions hold shares of Activision Blizzard. Now that they saw the stock price drop, they immediately began to counterattack and conducted several successive confrontations.
We have sensed the other party’s intention to suppress Activision Blizzard’s stock price.
It’s not clear why. It’s just that the other party was very powerful and some institutions that were a little strapped for funds immediately cleared their positions in Activision Blizzard’s stocks.
No matter how the two sides confront each other, leave the scene first.
As the stock market closed in the afternoon, Activision Blizzard's stock price fell by 5.2% compared to its opening price this morning.
The turnover rate is extremely frequent, and several institutions have cleared their positions and left the market.
