"I know that your boss, the most powerful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley venture capital, is not easy to win your favor. How much premium are you willing to pay to acquire our equity."
Carl, the director of the company, was very interested. If the price was right, he would be ready to sell all his shares.
"Premium? No, no, no, I'm afraid you have misunderstood."
Wang Yaocheng looked innocent and said;
"I was moved by Mr. Stan Lee's sincerity. Out of my feelings for Marvel Comics, I am willing to hold some stocks. I hope that Marvel Comics will have a good future. I have no desire to increase my holdings significantly, and there is no premium.
.”
If there is no premium, who will sell it?
Wouldn’t it be true that the more we sell, the more we will lose?
The directors' faces turned dark and they fell silent.
Wang Yaocheng stood up nonchalantly and said, "Since no one has any intention of taking action, I won't stay here anymore. There are still many things going on in my company, so you can chat slowly.
oh……
By the way, my equity is entrusted to Mr. Stan Lee to vote, and what he means is what I mean.
And if you have nothing to do in the future, you don’t need to come to me. I don’t know anything about the animation company anyway.
Finally, if you don’t sell the stocks in your hands now, you will definitely regret it in the future, and the company’s stocks will fall to the point of being worthless.”
After saying that, he walked away.
Inside the conference room, Mr. Stan Lee's heartbroken and angry roar came from the room!
"Oh... Fake Oil, the board of directors is full of idiots with big shit in their heads. You have wasted your best opportunity. I guarantee that Marvel Animation will pay the price for your decision today, you are a bunch of shit."
It took a lot of effort to lure a successor, but no one appreciated it. Marvel Comics is still in a state of fragmentation without a strong board of directors.
If the boss king can become the largest shareholder and is not interested in running a comic company, Stan Lee's voice will be greatly increased, and some company reform strategies can be implemented to satisfy his ambitions.
How can CEO Stan Lee accept such a situation after all his hard work has been in vain?
He had no idea that this was exactly what Wang Yaocheng wanted to see.
Let's continue to make trouble. Although Marvel Comics' stock price has dropped to 12 US dollars per share, there will be several years of hard times ahead, and it will eventually fall to the tragic situation of 2 US dollars per share, and directly file for bankruptcy.
Wang Yaocheng wanted to see who could persevere to the end in a situation where he could wash his hands and go ashore at any time?
Washington State, Redmond
Microsoft corporate headquarters location
Bright sunshine shines in through the large glass, and the air-conditioning in the room is turned on very well. In front of several important people stands a middle-aged man of medium height. He looks ordinary in appearance, one of those people who can't be found in a crowd.
kind.
"Mr. Gaia has more than 20 years of experience in intelligence agencies. He is the owner of the top private detective agency in the United States. He has unique strengths and often obtains explosive materials..."
"Okay, Stephen, let's hear what news this Gaia detective brings us?"
Bill Gates interrupted Vice President Stephen Ballmer and said calmly: "Sit down and tell me everything you know."
A kind of silent power came down, making the ordinary-looking Gaia feel trembling in her heart, her expression remained motionless, and all her attention was concentrated inside.
Having been in the love management industry for a long time, Gaia clearly knows how dark there is behind the big shots and how muddy the water is.
"After receiving the commission, I personally led the most capable people to conduct 24-hour tracking and monitoring, and obtained a lot of valuable information.
Wang Yaocheng, 19 years old, is from mainland China and has obtained Hong Kong identity not long ago.
According to reliable information, this person owns a Carrefour warehouse supermarket in operation in mainland China, and two other supermarkets are under construction, which will be opened at the end of the year and early next year. The total business area is more than 100,000 square meters, and it is expected to earn 1.6 to 2
Annual income of US$1 billion.
There are also six properties in home appliance shopping malls with good profit prospects.
Hong Kong Island;
Owns an independent property with an area of more than 80 square meters and a value of US$4 million.
The headquarters of Pacific Holdings has a rental property covering an area of more than 600 square meters.
…”
Gaia detectives basically checked out all the publicly available information, except for the most important piece of information, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's massive short selling of real estate index futures.
After a while
Stephen Ballmer waves Detective Gaia away;
"Well done. Keep an eye on Wang Yaocheng, the boss of Red Hat. I want to know all the information about him. What women have he dated? What kind of car does he drive? Which big shot's party did he attend? He even had a tryst with a maid in a small dark room.
, check everything out for me."
"As you wish."
As the footsteps left, the door was closed tightly again.
The few big shots who stayed in the office were silent, each thinking.
"So, Netscape's browser software should be the core asset of Boss King. He is now interested in developing the DRAM semiconductor industry and is in contact with Fujitsu. The main target is the eight-inch wafer fab in Osaka."
Technical Director Satya interjected;
"Don't forget, this guy took 21% of Marvel Animation's shares. By the way, Pixar Animation also bought 25% of the shares."
"Shet, Director Satya, we are talking about business, not damn animations, don't let these boring things obscure our sight.
OK!
The information provided by Detective Gaia is very clear. Marvel animation or Pixar animation is just fun for this kid. Young people have some money in their pockets and want to buy something they like.
With these insignificant things, we cannot control the boss and achieve the effect we want.
The boss king is not a fool, he doesn’t care whether these companies live or die, so let’s talk about things professionally.”
Vice President Stephen Ballmer was extremely angry, and Satya was so severely beaten that he never dared to mention it again.
Bill Gates cleared his throat and said;
"It is now clear that what the boss wants is the eight-inch wafer fab in Osaka. This is not a problem at all. We can buy it and give it to him, or even buy two more wafer fabs.
The biggest question now?
We want to acquire Netscape Browser, but we may not have enough chips. The boss is not stupid. He will definitely see clearly how big the market prospect of Netscape Browser is.
The next best thing is to permanently authorize the navigator browser's patent, or develop our own exclusive browser.
As long as you master these, relying on Microsoft's market dominance, you have a very good chance of completely defeating Netscape Browser.
Gentlemen;
We have taken the first step to victory. Next, we need to take the initiative to show our goodwill, win the favor of the boss, and finally integrate Netscape Browser into the Microsoft family.
If a young entrepreneur is proud of his success, we will let him expand a little more.
As we all know.
Netscape browser is in the first round of IPO, and Red Hat has offered a valuation of US$1 billion, but none of the four major shortlisted investment banks agreed.
Now is the time to show Microsoft's sincerity. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. We can offer a valuation of US$1.2 billion and strive to get as many shares as possible.
Microsoft is not a professional investment bank and has no intention of squeezing the maximum value out of these startups. We know Netscape is worth the money and this will be a good deal.
Microsoft is attacking, take action!
I have full confidence in you."
As soon as the big boss said this, several big shots present nodded frequently and suddenly felt full of confidence.
Microsoft has a big-brother status in the American technology community and is the well-deserved overlord in the field of computer operating systems. It has huge influence in both political and business circles, which makes them act without scruples.
Over the years, software companies that have tried to challenge Microsoft's status have been acquired, suppressed, or lost to the public. Netscape is just the new attraction.
This is not the first, and it will never be the last.
Any software company that enters the field of desktop systems will touch the sensitive nerves of Microsoft and feel that it has infringed on its own unique field.
This tyrannical behavior is suspected of being a monopoly, and has attracted great attention from the U.S. Department of Justice, which secretly conducted a long-term investigation.
Microsoft is saddled with dozens of lawsuits, alleging unfair business operations, using its monopoly position to squeeze out rivals, poaching, discrimination in market competition, personal attacks and abuse of its monopoly position, etc., including the antitrust case that is about to be launched by the Ministry of Justice.
It would have too great an impact on this behemoth.
Netscape browser is in the first round of IPO, has eliminated most investment banks and funds, and has entered the final stage of negotiations.
Generally speaking, no matter how high the bid is, Microsoft will not be able to participate.
But this generally does not apply to Microsoft. It is like a domineering parent in Silicon Valley, who will step in at any time and make people helpless.
