Extraordinary Genius

Half an hour later, Feng Yu had changed clothes after taking a bath and sat down in the study.

The desk was lit twice, the opposite screen lit up, divided into two rows of small screens, and the executives of both holding groups were already online. Some people drink coffee, some smoke, but no one talks to each other.

When Feng Yu showed up, everyone sat upright. Some also rushed to bring simultaneous translation headphones, although translators may not have the clarity of professional translators, but translators cannot sit idly by at such meetings.

“I asked Ralph to inform you about the meeting, and you already know what it's about? Anybody want to say something about this? ”

Lei Dajun's first eagerly awaited statement: “We must not let them succeed. If Microsoft takes control of the fruit company, it will have a huge impact on our business. We should stop this at all costs. ”

Masao Tortada asked, "Ralph, how credible was your man in finding out about this? How did they circumvent the obstructions of those institutions? ”

After Ralph explained it, Masahiro Kameda continued: “My suggestion is that we join, the fruit company's assets are still very valuable, Microsoft can acquire, why can't we acquire them? ”

Acquisition of a fruit company? Feng Yu frowned. Isn't that necessary?

No fruit company can do more than subsidiaries such as Lenovo Group. While everything is doing well, it also means that there are no advantages to doing business, and everything is very ordinary.

But since Masahiro Tortoise said it, there must be a reason for him, Feng Yu and the others listened patiently.

Masao Tortada said in Chinese: “Fruit companies still have good sales channels and brand awareness in Europe and America. For example, in the future, Fruit's computers will be used for office business purposes only, separate from Lenovo Group's products and incorporated into Lenovo Group. ”

“Merge music related businesses into AIWA. Electronic Paper Book, incorporated under Amazon. Smartphones, incorporated into the EWA Electronics or Rain Electronics banner. The R&D department is listed separately to set up a R&D center to provide technical support to other subsidiaries. ”

“Merging sales channels with our sales channels can both expand the sales network and save on sales costs, while discouraging Microsoft's intentions. ”

Zongqing couldn't help but say at this time: "President Tortoise, these things you said require us to buy the fruit company at full cost. Even Microsoft can't do this? ”

Fruit companies are, after all, a profitable enterprise, and while profits declined during the economic crisis, they are still making money. Even if the share price fell, it was still worth over $50 billion, and those shareholders had no reason to sell it all, right?

Besides, Microsoft's acquisition of the fruit company could be blocked, can't we be blocked? Can those agencies in the US see the fruit company being wholly acquired by us?

Masao Kameda's approach is to form a joint venture between Feng Yu Holdings and Taihua Holdings, and then split the business after the acquisition of the fruit company, which in itself can undermine the brand value of the fruit company, not to mention not necessarily succeed.

Zongqing felt that this would be a little uncompensated unless Masao Tortoise guaranteed the success of the wholly owned acquisition of the fruit company at a reasonable price.

Liu Xianzhi thought about it and said: “I don't think we need to acquire the fruit company entirely. Their business, in itself, overlaps with our business and has little effect on our gain. If it's just to stop Microsoft from buying, all we have to do is become shareholders, go on the board of directors of Fruit Corporation, and stir this up. ”

Liu Xianzhi felt that even if Jobs agreed, but the other shareholders disagreed, it could also stop Microsoft. Jobs doesn't hold a high stake in fruit companies either, and he understands that Jobs has less than a percent stake.

Such a person is appointed Chairman and CEO of the Board of Directors, and in addition to Jobs being the founder, he also has a strong personality charm.

In fact, fruit companies have more than a dozen major shareholders, including the Rothschild family, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and many other prominent investors.

Jobs' main asset, in fact, is his stake in Disney, Disney's largest individual shareholder, which was once close to $10 billion in value and is worth more than $5 billion, even if it has fallen considerably now.

One of Disney's famous 3D animations, Toy Mobilization, was created by Jobs and is now a series.

So Jobs is nominally at the helm of a fruit company, but he could be kicked off the stage any minute.

Acquisitions of Class B shares that do not have voting rights or have very low voting rights on the stock market are ineffective and must be purchased of Class A shares that have voting rights. This is now the case for many companies with a two-tier structure, where A is one share and B is most likely 100 shares to have one vote, or even 200 shares to have one vote.

Many have also called it the super voting right of the founder, like Facebook, Ancient Songs, and so on in previous life. Feng Yu in this world gave them this status, but the combined voting rights of the founders were not as good as the number of wind and rain holdings, even less so for other investment firms.

On the European and American side, many companies have more than seventy percent, if not more, in circulation. Many of the founders, who hold only five percent of the stock, are already the number one shareholder, with extremely dispersed shares.

At this point, you need a personality and personal ability to take control of the big picture, and if you are caught in a power brawl, the company will be in trouble.

Statements were made to present their views. There was a feeling that Masahiro Tortoida's approach was very good. The two companies combined must have sufficient funds to acquire fruit companies. It was a big deal to convert some of the shares of subsidiaries such as Lenovo Group to the shareholders of fruit companies, which is likely to succeed.

Others thought Liu Xianzhi's approach was good. As long as he became a shareholder and did not need to be the first shareholder, it would not be particularly difficult to take control of the fruit company. One was that the two holding groups were well funded, and also because they had an ace card that could suppress Bill Gates if necessary.

Feng Yu was helpless, what these people were discussing, they discussed for half a day, and thought the best way was to get some fruit company stock first, in Feng Yu's personal name.

So in case Bill Gates wants to buy fruit stock and compete for control, Feng Yu just has to come out and compete for the chairman and CEO.

With Feng Woo's reputation, Bill Gates is no match!
