413 New Year’s Eve is not peaceful, Shanda launches a surprise attack (4k)
February 8th, New Year’s Eve.
In the Rose Villa, all four members of the Lu family were in the kitchen. Lu Yun was busy preparing the dumpling fillings, while Xiao Hongmei was mixing the noodles and rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
Lu Fei had washed his hands early, and before making dumplings, he kept teasing Lu Ruoruo in the stroller. Her face was plump, and she sometimes smiled silly and sometimes sucked her pacifier.
In the living room, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the 32-inch TV.
"Small hammer 40, big hammer 80."
"Brother, a sledgehammer is equivalent to a big shot. For this amount, the appearance fee must be high."
"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"
The scene of Huang Hong smashing the wall and shouting 80 was so comical that it immediately made Lu Fei and the three of them laugh in unison.
"Haha~"
Xiao Hongmei chuckled: "A Fei, I went to Yuanyuan's house to meet her parents. Did her parents ask when you will get married?"
"Yes, but we are both still young. In response to the country's and family's policies on marriage and childcare, we will wait a few years before getting married."
Lu Fei made a face at his niece, making Lu Ruoruo laugh.
Seeing Xiao Hongmei asking, Lu Yun brought the mixed stuffing to the table and interrupted:
"It can be a few years later. You are just 22, and Yuanyuan is only 26. When you get married, you two will decide on your own. But once you have decided, you have to tell me and your sister-in-law, and we have to discuss with the in-laws how to handle it."
"It's necessary, you two are my eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Lu Fei slowly stood up, walked to the table, and skillfully made dumplings.
"Let's discuss something with you brothers. Ruoruo is turning 1 year old."
Xiao Hongmei rolled the skin and said: "After the birthday party, I can't stay at home all the time. I want to take care of Ruoruo while..."
"Don't you want to go back to the Internet cafe? That's not possible. The environment in the Internet cafe is too bad. It's not good to take Ruoruo there."
Lu Yun said anxiously: "Hongmei, just stay at home and enjoy the happiness. When you need to go shopping, you can go shopping. When you need to beautify, beautify yourself. We are not short of money and can make up for the good life we never had before."
"Brother, what my sister-in-law is after is not money, but value."
Lu Fei immediately thought of Maslow's needs theory.
Why do the rich second generation want to start a business despite knowing they can win? Isn't it because they want to prove something? The result proves that the rich second generation is not afraid of losing their fortune, but they are afraid of starting a business.
"That's right, we, Fei, still understand my sister-in-law!" Xiao Hongmei said.
"However, the Internet cafe is indeed not suitable for my sister-in-law to go to now. It is better to hire someone to take care of it."
Lu Fei arranged the wrapped dumplings in a row, "Sister-in-law, would you like to change to a more leisurely place? A teahouse? A club? An art gallery..."
"These are too elegant, I can't do them."
Xiao Hongmei shook her head and laughed. Suddenly, there was the sound of bamboo flute in her ears, and her eyes moved to the TV involuntarily.
I saw a woman wearing long golden armor, like a Dunhuang goddess, with countless arms behind her, moving her wrists up and down in time with the rhythm of the music, lifelike and ever-changing.
The shocking visual images shocked their nerves.
"Hiss, this "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" is so beautiful."
She subconsciously clasped her hands together and looked pious.
"Sister-in-law, there is something even more amazing. These dancers are all disabled and from the art troupe. They are physically disabled but strong in spirit. They are quite inspiring."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, Xiao Hongmei immediately came up with an idea——
Run a charity school specifically for disabled people.
"Run a school?"
Lu Yun was shocked, "This is no joke!"
Xiao Hongmei rolled her eyes and said with a serious face: "I'm not kidding, although we have money, there are still many people who have no money like us before, don't we deserve some help?
I also thought that Qilixiang would open a factory specifically so that school graduates could find a job like ordinary people!"
"Zizzi."
Lu Fei blinked, this is not a white elephant.
"A Fei, what do you think of my sister-in-law's idea?"
Xiao Hongmei looked eager to try.
Lu Yun interrupted: "Factories can be built, schools can also be built, but we just donate money and don't mix it up, otherwise who will take care of it?"
Seeing signs of an argument between the two, Lu Fei hurriedly spoke:
"We can register a charity foundation, and my sister-in-law will be the president. The money from the fund can be donated to them, and it can also support poor children and help orphans and elderly people. This is comparable to building a school, and the scope of help is wider. Sister-in-law, what do you think?
?”
Lu Yun saw Xiao Hongmei lost in thought and secretly gave a thumbs up.
"My sister-in-law wants you to tell me, I will invest a few million and give it to the foundation to try to operate it, and slowly gain experience."
Lu Fei smiled, "Besides, Wahaha will give us a charity donation of 100 million in the future."
"Ah!"
Lu Ruoruo waved her chubby little hands and clapped her hands.
"Look, our family Ruoruo all agrees."
Lu Yun laughed loudly, "How about naming a foundation after our daughter?"
"You two, please stop singing in unison and let me think about it again."
Xiao Hongmei seemed to be moving, "Let's put down the dumplings first."
"Sister-in-law, we are not in a hurry. If necessary, I will find a few people for you, such as Han Hong who sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau"..."
Lu Fei is not averse to donating money, nor does he disdain to engage in charity business, although the pattern is not as good as Dong Ge, who donated 14.9 billion.
Dongzi is a capable person and he really means what he says!
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket was vibrating.
The call came from Xu Xin, her tone was urgent:
"New Wolf's financial report meeting has just ended."
"How about it?"
"Poor, very bad. If nothing unexpected happens, investors on Wall Street will definitely take action these days, and there may be a wave of small-scale selling."
………………
It was obviously the day of reunion, but the top floor of the Shanda Building was still brightly lit. Chen Tianqiao sat with his hands crossed, restless.
There was a "dong dong" knock on the door, and he said "come in." Tang Jun walked in with great enthusiasm, and said solemnly:
"Let's do it tonight!"
"Has the time come?"
"That's right, the news from Duan Yongji."
"New Wolf's financial report this year is very poor, not ordinary. I think Sina's financial report will never be as bad as today again in the future."
Tang Jun took out the ink-dry financial report document: "Their stock price must have plummeted, so we will start tonight and buy all New Wolf's shares!"
"How many do we have now?" Chen Tianqiao asked.
"After receiving 5% from the Three Body Fund, we bought 2.3% piecemeal, plus the 4.9% Duan Yongji was willing to sell, for a total of 12.2%."
Tang Jun was very excited: "This opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again. I have secretly inquired that New Wolf's executives are currently vacationing all over the world. CEO Wang Yan is in France. Even the fastest direct trip will take half a day."
Chen Tianqiao's eyes lit up. Waiting for Xinlang to react and convene the board of directors again would be enough for Shanda to sweep up shares in the secondary circulation market.
He could no longer hold back his excitement, so he stood up and paced back and forth. He saw fireworks in the night sky outside the window, bright and colorful, like a signal to charge before a battle.
"Do we have sufficient funds?"
"We have prepared US$200 million for this acquisition war."
"Then do it! At lightning speed, eat the new wolf before the top management of the new wolf can react!"
…………
boom!
boom!
The sky above Sijiu City was shrouded in blooming fireworks.
At this time, text messages of New Year greetings were frequently received on his phone and buzzing on the desktop, but Lu Fei had no time to reply.
The computer screen displayed New Wolf's stock price chart.
"It has been found out that in order to gain control of New Wolf, Chen Tianqiao registered four companies in the British Virgin Islands: Horizon Media, Horizon International, Shanda Media, and Shanda Shares."
Xu Xin said on the phone: "It's similar to our operation."
"It's still different. This way, we can avoid breaking through the 5% critical point and catch the new wolf by surprise."
Lu Fei crossed his arms and saw that New Wolf's stock price had dropped from 28.7 US dollars to 25.54 US dollars, and it was still hitting the bottom.
I sold at a loss of 5% early and made a profit of US$74.2027 million when the average price was US$29.4.
"Three-Body Problem still has 5.71%. If we sell it all now, it will definitely plunge. It may fall below 23 US dollars, and the profit will not be much."
Xu Xin thought again and again: "In my opinion, it is better to continue to hold it. Even in the worst case scenario, if Shanda acquires New Wolf, it will be a big benefit and the stock price will inevitably rise sharply."
"How much has Shanda acquired now?" Lu Fei said.
"There are about 6.46 million shares. The total share capital of New Wolf is 50.478 million, which is almost... wait, Shanda Tang Jun called."
Xu Xin was unexpectedly interrupted, and the phone fell into silence for a moment, leaving only a sound of um um oh oh.
"Does he want to bid for the shares of Trisolaris?"
Lu Fei knocked on the table, and in his sight, New Wolf's stock price fell by another $0.21, and there were still more than 4 hours until the closing.
Xu Xin said: "Yes, you guessed it right."
"What's Shanda's price?" Lu Fei asked.
"Buy all the New Wolf shares we hold at 120% of today's closing stock price," Xu Xin said.
"They have a pretty good idea!"
Lu Fei smacked his lips. Shanda had not entered the market to purchase goods at the moment. If he purchased goods frantically, it would be easy to stop the decline of New Wolf. At least it would be able to hold on to the $26,27 mark at the close.
That would cost millions or tens of millions of dollars more.
"A Fei, that's not all their wishful thinking. If they can successfully acquire the shares of Trisolaris, they will have 18.5%."
Xu Xin analyzed that American law stipulates that if the shareholding exceeds 20%, New Wolf's profits and losses will be included in Shanda's finance, and New Wolf and Shanda must consolidate their financial statements.
"I don't think they will break through 20% immediately. They should control the shares at 19.5%."
Lu Fei touched his chin, "Don't forget that we hold 19.2%. What is New Wolf's reaction?"
"Xenophobic, quite xenophobic."
Xu Xin couldn't help but recall that New Wolf's shareholding structure was extremely decentralized. Duan Yongji, Jiang Fengnian, Lin Xinhe and Cao Guowei on the board of directors had overlapping responsibilities and conflicts with each other.
There is no strong enough industrialist representative to unify, they are all a group of capital players, just like the warlords of Sichuan and Chongqing during the Republic of China. The warlords were divided among themselves and the civil war was endless.
But when there is a foreign enemy taking over and invading, they will unite with each other and deal with the outside world in unison.
"That's right! I was also worried about stimulating them to come up with the 'poison pill plan', so Sister Xin, you submitted the 13-G form."
Lu Fei touched his chin. According to the provisions of the Williams Act, when a company holds more than 5% of the equity of a listed company but has no intention of obtaining control of the company, it only needs to fill out a simple 13-G form.
When you want to obtain control, you must submit Form 13-D to the SEC, and the entire approval process will give the acquired party time to choose——
Accept or reject.
"Do you think they may not accept Shanda and come up with a 'poison pill plan'?"
Xu Xin was surprised and asked immediately.
Lu Fei said happily: "Of course, the new wolf won't even accept me. Is Chen Tianqiao qualified?"
Xu Xin said: "That's right, but you said you want to take the new wolf into your pocket, how are you going to do it?"
"Sister Xin, do you know how Liu Bei captured Yizhou?"
"did you mean……"
"Sister Xin, please tell Cao Guowei about Shanda's sneak attack on New Wolf."
"I understand, I'll do it right away!"
There was crackling, and the sound of firecrackers sounded in the distance.
Lu Fei raised his lips, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the starry sky as bright as day.
At this time in Australia, the night sky was not as lively as China.
Cao Guowei, who was on vacation, learned from Xu Xin that Chen Tianqiao was not a martial artist and actually stole their home during the Chinese New Year. He immediately lost all sleep.
When I saw the fluctuating stock price of New Wolf, I finally confirmed that it was correct. Regardless of whether it was offensive or not, I decisively contacted Wang Yan.
"What? How much did Shanda acquire?"
"About 7 million shares. We can't delay it any longer. We must return to China immediately and notify the directors to convene a board meeting to discuss countermeasures."
"I'll book a flight back right away."
Wang Yan cursed and said: "What the hell, Chen Tianqiao!"
Cao Guowei said: "Haha, it won't take more than a day or two for him to want to eat the new wolf. Mr. Wang, I want you to say something now, do we welcome Shanda to move in?"
"What did you say!"
Wang Yan smiled coldly. Just talking about the difference in corporate culture, Shanda is Chen Tianqiao's one-stop shop. Why, you want to make Xinlang his one-stop shop too?
Then doesn't he want to get out?
Not to mention the differentiation of user groups. New Wolf’s target customer groups are mainly enterprises and adults, while Shanda, a group of children in their 80s and 90s who play online games, is simply incompatible with New Wolf.
"If you say that, I know it in my heart. I can guarantee that at least the management will fully oppose Shanda's acquisition."
The reason why Cao Guowei said it categorically is because the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope.
Once Shanda moves in, it will inevitably carry out a major purge of the management and replace them with trustworthy people. Old officials like them will definitely be eliminated in the shuffle.
No matter what, we must maintain our current status and interests.
"This alone is not enough. You also know that now the new wolves are leaderless. No one cares about the future. They only think about making money and not doing anything."
Wang Yan had no choice but to deal with the new wolf well with these insects, excluding Lu Fei and Xu Xin of course.
"You're right, so we have to nominate someone."
Cao Guowei frowned. The two of them together only had 240,000 shares. Once the majority of shareholders on the board of directors agreed, even if the management resisted, it would not affect Shanda's control of New Wolf.
"Who?" Wang Yan said.
Cao Guowei said: "This person must have enough prestige and strength to be able to preside over and control the overall situation of the board of directors."
Wang Yan added: "You must also have extraordinary foresight and be able to plan a good future for shareholders and New Wolf."
Chao Guowei said again: "We can compete with Chen Tianqiao, and we are not obsessed with power and position. We are willing to delegate management rights to our management."
"And let everyone in New Wolf, from bottom to top, be convinced of his abilities. Hey, is there such a person?"
"Of course, there is and only one!"
"Lu Fei, Mr. Lu!!"
The two people spoke in unison on the phone.
Hurry, go to the Eastern Tu Tang Dynasty to ask for Master Lu!
