"The chairman has asked Paulson to prepare for the stock market. He can give Motorola a blow at any time. If you need it, I can introduce General Manager Paulson to meet with you." Leo said directly, and Dana completely understood.
"Leo, thank you, this time we at PricewaterhouseCoopers owe you a favor," Dana said directly. Joanna didn't know the power of this, but Dana knew it very well.
Even without PwC, the protective umbrella can take down Motorola within two months at most. Because it is so well prepared, it can be said that the umbrella has already done most of the work. All PwC needs to do is to take care of Motorola from the financial aspect.
Just a push, Motorola is very fragile now.
"Leo, I would like to invite General Manager Paulson to a meal. Do you think it's okay?" Dana is very good at things. Paulson's current status is not something you can meet just by meeting him. Leo smiled and ordered.
nod.
That night, Dana, Joanna, Leo, and Paulson had dinner together. Tomorrow, PricewaterhouseCoopers will start to take action. If cooperation is needed, call Paulson directly. Paulson got Guo Yongren
Naturally, he agreed immediately to his explanation, and both parties were happy.
To become one of the Big Four accounting firms, one must not be a kind-hearted person, and must have a lot of tricks. PricewaterhouseCoopers began to mobilize elite troops to take action the next day. Multiple teams rushed to Motorola's headquarters.
The division of labor is clear.
Motorola is really having a hard time. First of all, there is no progress in the Boeing project, and GM's contract renewal has also been blocked. GM's reply is that the board of directors has opinions and needs to meet again to study it. It has been too busy recently.
Not this.
Motorola's board of directors has met several times, and the situation is not optimistic. If there is no news this month, there are only two options next month. One is to inject capital from the board of directors, and the other is to sell off assets. Either option is unacceptable.
The current board of directors has woken up and realized the value of a professional manager, but it is already too late. I contacted several people, and they all refused once they learned about Motorola's situation. They all understood that without big funds, the company would be difficult to recover.
, but the board of directors is unwilling to invest anymore.
Abraham was in a very bad mood today. The board of directors held a meeting all morning but there was no result. Now there are only a few days until the end of the month. Without a resolution, it is really too late.
After returning home exhausted, the butler greeted him, "Sir, Mr. Harry from PricewaterhouseCoopers is here and has been waiting for you for a long time." When the butler reported, Abraham was stunned.
Abraham and PricewaterhouseCoopers are old friends. PricewaterhouseCoopers is responsible for auditing the accounts of other industries. He and Harry are also old friends. The two have a very good relationship.
Abraham came to the living room and saw Harry reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room. "Harry, why do you have time to come here today?" Abraham walked over. Harry looked at it and stood up.
The two shook hands and sat down again. "Old friend, I'll tell you the truth." Harry looked at Abraham and said. Abraham had a bad premonition and made a sign to please speak.
"Are you willing to sell your Motorola shares?" Harry asked. Abraham was stunned and looked at Harry.
"Harry, my old friend, why did you ask this today?" Abraham asked.
"It's very simple, someone is targeting Motorola," Harry said directly, without concealing anything. Abraham just frowned.
"PwC took over this case," Abraham said directly. Harry nodded and admitted directly that there was nothing to hide.
"Harry, I don't deny that Motorola's life is a bit difficult now, but it's not at the end of the road yet. Isn't it a little early for you to take over?" Abraham asked calmly, wanting to touch Harry's bottom.
Harry smiled and said, "Old friend, to be honest, it will be difficult for Motorola to survive next month. I'm not wrong. In addition, I can say one thing for sure, that is, GM will not renew the contract." Harry said directly,
Abraham was stunned and frowned.
What Harry said revealed a lot of information. "Who wants Motorola?" Abraham asked directly.
"I can't say this, old friend. One thing I can be sure of is that starting from tomorrow, Motorola stock will become less and less valuable. The value of the shares in your hands is shrinking. There is no possibility of Motorola being spared this time."
Harry said directly.
"Harry, if GM doesn't work, we have other partners, and Motorola's heritage is still there," Abraham said unwillingly.
"Boeing will not sign a contract with you, at least not until the acquisition is completed," Harry said directly, completely shattering Abraham's luck.
"I'll tell you the truth, basically every Motorola director has been contacted by someone now. Once the shares are acquired, the shares will definitely be diluted. Your losses will be greater, and the other party's strength is beyond your imagination." Harry looked at Abraham seriously.
said.
"According to what you said, the other party is not an unknown person. Who is trying to get Motorola's idea? I really want to know who has this strength. Motorola is not without any energy," Abraham said unconvinced.
"Wall Street." Harry said one word directly, and Abraham's energy was completely gone. Wall Street, this name has a magical nature. No matter who heard it, they just felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"The premium is 30%, I'll sell it," Abraham said directly, and Harry shook his head.
"Old friend, I can tell you clearly that the formal crackdown on the stock market will begin tomorrow. Today's price is the original price. If you buy it tomorrow, you don't know how much you will lose." Harry was not joking with Abraham at all. Tomorrow, Ball
Sen has officially begun tossing up Motorola stock.
"Harry, can you tell me why?" Abraham asked, and Harry was embarrassed for a while.
"Abraham, I don't know much. What I know is that the other party has already started planning. We at PricewaterhouseCoopers didn't need to take action. You Motorola will definitely not be able to survive. However, the other party has been in a hurry recently and has no patience anymore.
, that’s why we took action, you understand what I said,” Harry said seriously, and Abraham nodded.
"Furthermore, if you think about it, if you think about it, it can affect Boeing and General Motors. The strength of the other party is really not something you can compete with. If you use money to throw money at it, you might as well throw it at Motorola." Harry said directly. Abraham was completely shocked after hearing this.
Give up.
"Your people should be in the car, let them come, I'm sold," Abraham said directly, really giving up hope for Motorola's current board of directors.
"I'll call them." After Harry finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the villa with a certain smile on his face. Soon, he led three people to the villa.
It didn't take long. The formalities were completed. Abraham sold all 8% of his shares in Motorola. Harry took out a check and handed it to Abraham. The formalities were completed.
The same situation is happening in many places. PricewaterhouseCoopers is very efficient. At the end of the day, it won 40% of Motorola's shares. Although some people still don't give up, it doesn't matter. Tomorrow
Once the stock fluctuations begin, they will be unable to sit still, and no one can bear the shrinkage of their stocks.
The next day, Paulson was in the company, and the employees were already in place. It can be said that everyone in Paulson's group is a millionaire, and some even are multi-millionaires. However, they all
They work honestly with Paulson, and they all know in their hearts that if they follow Paulson under the umbrella, they will earn more.
"Action, give me a lot of pressure," Paulson said with a smile. He didn't pay much attention to this matter. For Paulson, this was nothing more than a small matter. To suppress a stock,
It's very easy and there are many ways to do it.
Originally, Motorola's stock was very stable, neither rising nor falling very much. However, it was different today. As soon as the market opened, within ten minutes, it fell by 10%. This ratio can be described as very terrifying.
.
The entire stock exchange was shocked for a while, but no one intervened. It was obvious that someone was suppressing the stock. If you really participated, if you were also suppressed, you would lose all your money. However, many
People started paying attention to Motorola.
Motorola's board of directors has also received the news. There are a lot fewer people on the board of directors today. There were originally more than 20 people on the board of directors, but now there are no more than ten people. Everyone understands that these people have sold their stocks.
"Gentlemen, let's talk. I think you were also looked for yesterday. I think we are the only ones who haven't sold your shares yet." Chairman Snake said weakly. There is no way, Motorola is really weak now.
Too weak.
Many people let out a long sigh. If they had known that they had sold it yesterday, they would have lost so much today. It hurts their hearts. "Chairman, do you know which company is behind the scenes? They can let Boeing and General Motors drag us along.
The background will not be small anymore," a director asked.
Snake shook his head, "Wall Street" said a name, the other directors were stunned, and their faces became even darker. Damn, if I had known, I would have sold it, fighting with the Wall Street gang, it's just like
Seeking death, in this era, the deterrent power of Wall Street is global in nature, and little Motorola simply cannot withstand it.
While several people were sighing, there was a "bang" and the door of the conference room was pushed open. Joanna came in with several people. "Who let you in? Who are you, security?" Snake shouted unhappily.
road.
"Calm down, my chairman, we at PricewaterhouseCoopers hold 40% of Motorola's shares and are fully qualified to participate in the board of directors." Joanna said very calmly, pulled out a chair and sat down directly.
