That night, Tony, the patriarch of the Masardino family, personally rushed to the hotel where Juan was staying, and the two parties started negotiations on this issue.
Two hours later, the negotiations between the two parties broke down and broke up.
Juan still felt aggrieved. He had worked hard to collect a lot of chips here. Since Tony was unwilling to change hands of the company, he would just buy back the shares in his hands for more than 8 yuan as he requested.
You can just look for other goals yourself. Anroni Leather Goods is not the only company in Europe that suits your needs.
As a result, Tony was unwilling to take over the stock at a price above 8 yuan. He had to push the price below 7.5 before agreeing to repurchase no more than 10% of the stock. It was really a thief.
Of course, it is impossible for Juan to tell Tony now how many chips he has in his hand. This must be kept strictly confidential. One point more and one point less can often determine the final victory.
According to Tony's conditions, even if Juan really planned to go public through a backdoor listing and accidentally selected Anloni Leather Goods, he would be stuck under such conditions, not to mention that Juan had no intention of reaching a settlement with them.
As a result, the negotiations naturally broke down.
Tony had to come and negotiate with Juan.
Anroni Leather Goods is the property of the Masardino family. Although it does not make much money, the income is relatively stable. Most of the Masardino family's expenses come from here.
Although Tony was prepared to speed up the development of the family and even resorted to such crooked ways as money laundering, he knew that for at least ten years, the Masardino family would still have to rely on Anroni leather goods to make a living.
The performance of Androni Leather Goods on the London stock market can almost be said to be an invisible stock. It has been tepid, with very little trading volume and almost no attention.
Because of this, even the Masardino family hardly speculates on Anroni leather goods. If they have the time and funds, they can make even greater profits by just investing in those popular stocks.
Therefore, the Masardino Family Fund, the largest shareholder of Androni Leather Goods, only holds 25% of the shares, while several important family members and related companies hold 8% to 12% of the floating shares.
In addition, several major securities firms hold a total of 20% of the company's shares, and the remaining shares are in the hands of retail investors. This is why Laurson received 20% of the shares relatively easily.
As for Juan's acquisition, to be honest, Tony never thought that anyone would want to acquire Anloni Leather Goods. However, since this problem has arisen, it must be resolved as soon as possible.
After Tony found out the clues and reported them to him, Tony immediately sealed up the stocks held by the family individuals and related companies. However, by this time, the floating chips in their hands had been washed out by Laurson, leaving only the minimum holdings stipulated by the family.
There is only 8% left in total.
During the previous tug-of-war at 8 yuan, Tony had sold a few percent of his stocks to stop the fight. Currently, he holds just over 30% of the stocks, and he still has some cash, but he doesn't know what Juan's strength is.
, can you withstand the opponent's offensive?
The breakdown of the negotiations was actually not beyond Tony's expectation. He knew best what conditions he offered.
However, a lot of the family's funds are currently occupied in the auction house, which is related to his money laundering business and cannot be lost, so there is really nothing he can do here.
Tony had previously invited experts to analyze the stock of Anroni Leather Goods, and they estimated that Juan's stock holdings were between 10% and 15%.
Judging from the stock premium given by Juan and the performance of his traders who have been unable to break through the 8 yuan mark, he does not have sufficient funds on hand.
Therefore, Tony didn't take Juan's hostile takeover seriously seriously. Who doesn't know how to brag and threaten people? The only thing he can do is pay for it.
However, Tony was still fully prepared. He had contacted several major brokers and was prepared to lend up to 10% of the stocks from them to sell off if necessary to bring the stock price back to its normal level.
The next day was Friday, and Tony carefully guarded against various emergencies. As a result, the day ended calmly. Nothing special happened. Even the trading volume that day was a little less than the average daily trading volume of the previous few days.
.
Is the other party preparing to withdraw, or is he considering something else? Tony was still analyzing the other party's behavior with several experts, when news came from London, and Fan Zheng made a brilliant appearance.
Tony was no stranger to Fan Zheng. During the transfer of shares in Skoll Bank, the two had many arguments and ended up becoming enemies.
But now that the Masardino family has completely withdrawn from Skoll Bank, Tony doesn't believe that Fan Zheng can do anything else to them.
Fan Zheng actually did nothing. He pointed out in an industry salon that the stock price of Androni Leather Goods deviated from its value. The current stock price was artificially high. He suggested that small and medium-sized investors stay away from this stock and make aggressive investments with sufficient risk tolerance.
If so, you may consider shorting appropriately.
Fan Zheng is not a celebrity in the industry, and Future Investment Company is not well-known in Europe. But Fan Zheng’s comments actually appeared on the weekend financial pages of many tabloids. It has to be said that in a capitalist society, spending money can really make a difference.
Solve many problems.
Tony was furious, but there was nothing he could do against Fan Zheng. He couldn't spend money in newspapers to explain to investors: "We cheated Fan Zheng's company of a lot of money before, so now he is taking revenge on us. What he said
Don’t believe it.”
Tony was not only worried that Fan Zheng would retaliate against him, but he was also worried that if his words were accepted by stock investors, everyone would run away, which would be bad.
Juan hasn't agreed to leave the market yet. If retail investors flee now, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for him to buy chips at a low price?
Sure enough, as soon as the market opened on Monday morning, a large number of selling orders appeared. Although each order was not large, the quantity was overwhelming.
It was not until the market closed at noon that new selling orders gradually decreased. Although the stock price was suppressed to 7.38, the turnover rate exceeded 15% in just half a day.
When commenting on the stock market during the lunch break, many experts mentioned the performance of Androni Leather Goods and said that this afternoon or no later than tomorrow daytime, Alloni Leather Goods will break the oscillation trend of the past month and show a directional trend.
trend.
In the market situation in the morning, in order to increase the chips in his hands, Tony quietly bought 1% of the shares when retail investors were shipping goods. In this way, the shares in his hands had reached 31%, and he felt more at ease.
Tony is in a dilemma now. He doesn't want the stock to fall, so that Juan can easily collect chips and threaten his family's status as the major shareholder.
At the same time, he does not want the stock price to rise. If Juan really pulls up the stock price and he cannot suppress it, hostile takeovers will definitely follow.
