A white American man with white hair and beard, but meticulously groomed, sat in front of Feng Yu. This man's face was always filled with confidence, even if he was opposite Feng Yu, the second richest man in the world. , didn't seem to affect his mood. [△网WwW.]
Ralph said: "Mr. Sanders, my boss is very interested in your company. This is not the first time I have contacted you. We have met many times before. At that time, your company's market value was more than 70 billion US dollars. But now, it seems that there are only more than 20 billion US dollars, right?"
The implication is, Jerry Sanders, do you regret it? The price we gave at the beginning was only for 51% of the equity. We could even reduce some investment and participate in the company. But now, according to the original bid, the entire AMD Semiconductor Company can be bought, and there is still some leftover!
Sanders still had a faint smile on his face: "Feng, I have never doubted that you want to acquire our AMD Semiconductor. Your name makes me believe that you will give me a very suitable price. But Chaowei Semiconductor Wei Semiconductor was founded by me, and I have deep feelings for it. Just like the company you founded, would you sell it? Although the company's market value is shrinking, the company is still making profits, right?"
This old guy is really difficult to deal with. Yes, although AMD's market value has shrunk severely, much more than that of many companies, as Sanders said, AMD is still making profits. Last year's profit exceeded one billion U.S. dollars, and this year it is confident that it will exceed three billion U.S. dollars. Even though the global economy is not doing well this year, the development of computers has entered a period of rapid development.
My company is still making money. Even if the stock price goes up or down, I won’t sell it. Anyway, I don’t lose anything. It’s the people who invest in stocks who lose. If the stock price rises, I can cash out the non-voting shares awarded to make money, or I can keep them and sell them again when the price rises, or I can simply wait for the dividends.
AMD Semiconductor is different from those Internet companies whose stock prices have plummeted. They have entities and their business is doing well. Although in terms of CPU, it is suppressed by Intel, and the market is almost 19 points, but so what, Intel does not dare to let Chaowei go bankrupt, then it will form a monopoly, and it will inevitably face huge fines , and will be forcibly split!
"Sanders, Chaowei only started to make a profit last year, and it had high deficits before. If it weren't for the stock market bubble, your company would have gone bankrupt long ago. I'm not afraid to tell you that we have secretly acquired some of the company's stocks. Although The transaction has not yet been completed, but the contract has been signed. These stocks are enough to ensure that we are the largest shareholder of the company after you." Ralph said with sarcasm.
You founded the company well, but you have no money to develop it. You have received several capital injections and venture capital, otherwise AMD would have gone bankrupt long ago.
You don't plan to sell the company's shares, but you can't stop others from selling. Especially those investment institutions such as banks, the stock market bubble, many investment institutions have suffered huge losses, and they urgently need to withdraw funds and reduce losses.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ralph, under Feng Yu's instruction, signed agreements with many investment institutions to buy the stocks of those companies at 120% of the market price on the trading day.
At that time, the U.S. stock market rebounded, and Chaowei's stock price also rebounded a bit. Those investment institutions thought they had taken advantage. However, during this period, as the scandals of WorldCom and Anxinda broke out, more and more companies in the United States were implicated, which also led to the overall decline of the U.S. stock market, and Chaowei's stock price fell seriously again.
Even Intel's stock price fell to just over 30 million US dollars at this time. By the end of 1999, they exceeded 500 billion US dollars!
Now it seems that those shareholders who thought they had taken advantage at the beginning have actually suffered a loss. According to the current trading day price of 12%, it is more than 10% lower than their original price!
It's a pity that the contract has been signed. They must complete the transaction at the end of this month. They all want to complete it as soon as possible, but Ralph is not in a hurry. Who told them to have a flexible system when setting the transaction date? ? Then let’s play it off. Anyway, if we delay for one more day, Fengyu Holdings will make more money.
It's just that there are still shareholders who, like Sanders, don't sell their stocks. Otherwise, if all the voting shares held by other shareholders are acquired, they will still have 49% of the voting rights, although it is still not as good as Sanders's 100%. Fifty-one, but with Feng Yu’s reputation, he is enough to challenge Sanders.
Of course, for non-voting shares, this time Ralph only took some in accordance with the agreement with shareholders with voting rights. None of the shares circulating in the market were confiscated. TM kept falling, not for voting rights. Now this vote from AMD The stocks are not worth acquiring!
Ralph thought that Sanders would be somewhat surprised by the news that he was already the company's potential second largest shareholder. But unexpectedly, Sanders didn't seem to care at all.
"Oh, so what? I'm still the major shareholder holding 51% of the company's voting rights, right? You also said that since last year, our company has turned a profit. When the stock price was so high before, I haven't sold it yet. Now that the stock price has dropped, do you think I will sell it? On the contrary, I am also preparing to buy the company's shares at this time. I forgot to tell you, maybe in a few days, my voting rights will not only be Fifty-one percent.”
Ralph's expression changed. It seemed that the shareholder he had been unable to publicize was actually persuaded by Sanders. But the price he offered was already very generous. Could Sanders offer a higher price
Ralph thought for a while, it should be the previous acquisition of other shareholders' stocks that made this shareholder alert or even unhappy. After all, those shareholders were all cheated by Ralph in disguise, although the reason was also their greed. .
But if Sanders becomes the controlling shareholder, it will be difficult to deal with. After all, Ralph has just acquired nearly 30% of the voting rights at this time.
Feng Yu suddenly smiled: "Sanders, you are getting old."
Sanders's always confident face suddenly changed: "Feng, what do you mean? Are you laughing at me?"
"No, I mean, you have lost your enterprising spirit. Under your leadership, Chaowei will always have to live in the shadow of Intel. Indeed, Chaowei's profits should be good this year. Your new generation The sales of processors are okay. But have you ever thought that the gap between you and Intel at this time is still more than ten times. Whether it is in terms of market value, sales, or profits, it is Just like this, if you occupy 10% of the market, you will be satisfied?"
"Not long after I collaborated with Bill Gates on game consoles, there was a company called Sega that occupied about 10% of the market share. I think you may have heard of it. At the end of last month, Sega announced that it would transfer its game business to Sold to Rentian because they can no longer operate. Ten percent share... this is the end!"
