Public takeover offer should be a term familiar to everyone who deals with finance.
"Bear hug!" Mu Qianxue's heart sank, her brows furrowed together, and this almost forgotten term came to her mind naturally.
This is a form of hostile takeover, and it is also an active and public offer.
Hostile acquisition refers to the parties using various offensive and defensive strategies to complete the acquisition, hoping to obtain controlling equity and become a major shareholder. Among them, the strong antagonism between the two sides is its basic feature. Acquisitions are difficult unless the target company's stock has high liquidity and can be easily absorbed in the market. Hostile takeovers may lead to surprise takeovers. Buyout firms that engage in hostile takeovers are often referred to as "black knights."
In the business circle, the bear hug is probably the roughest, most unreasonable, but also the most effective method of hostile takeover. By publicly issuing a takeover offer to all shareholders of the target company, a rampant takeover is carried out at a price higher than the market price. Equity, no humane approach!
"Has the other party made an announcement?" Mu Qianxue pondered for a while and then asked.
Song Yao shook her head: "Not yet."
"That said, directors are still hesitant..."
According to relevant regulations, after a comprehensive acquisition offer is issued, if the acquirer successfully holds shares, the content of the offer must be announced to the outside world. This is to protect the interests of small and medium-sized investors and prevent retail investors from knowing nothing. , control of the company is transferred.
"It's Miss Hua. She is currently in the company. In order to stabilize the directors, she has publicly stated to the directors that Ximeng Group is willing to make progress and retreat with the Mu family in this acquisition." Song Yao said truthfully.
Mu Qianxue nodded. Indeed, this was the only way to stall the situation.
"Who is the acquirer?"
"GoldPartners! (Gold Partners)"
"Huh? Why is it?" Mu Qianxue's expression was a little strange. There was something fishy about this company because, as a global financial company, it was so famous that even Mu Qianxue, who had never dealt with it, was confused. I have heard that, but those reputations are not good.
"Do you have any specific information about this company?"
Song Yao nodded and handed over the information.
Sure enough, just as the rumors say, this company is notorious as a "corporate sniper", "ruthless speculator", "CEO hunter" and "serial murderer", and the companies they target are... Generally there are only two fates, either to be acquired and then packaged and listed, or to go bankrupt and sell off.
Neither of these two results was what Mu Qianxue wanted.
She never expected that the Mu Group would be targeted by such a powerful opponent. At this moment, she finally understood what happened before, how many people had been harmed by this so-called trap, and what malicious short selling was. It was just to suppress the stock price and serve the acquisition, but they didn't expect it at the time.
"The other party is the Black Knight!" Mu Qianxue finally concluded, "Let's go to the company!"
This is not the first time that Concubine Luo Mi has come to the Mu Family Villa, but this time, there is something really missing. It is obviously the twelfth lunar month of winter, but she does not feel the slightest chill, but instead feels a little impatient with the heat.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Concubine Luo Mi couldn't help but frowned and walked towards the huge man at the door: "Tie Zhu, weren't you in the Japanese country? Why did you show up here without saying hello when you came back? "
"It's not because that guy Xiaoyu suddenly called me yesterday and asked me to come back to look after my sister-in-law's home, but he was nowhere to be seen." Tie Zhu said angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Baimao's sudden escape, and then his expression changed. Anxiously, he whispered: "Sister Fei, is the boss really gone?"
Concubine Luo Mi didn't know how to answer. She was silent for a long time before asking, "Zhuzi, do you believe Qin Hao really left like this?"
"Do not believe!"
"I don't believe it either," Concubine Luo Mi seemed to be saying to herself, or replying to Tie Zhu, "So, just give us a little more time, and give him a little more time, and let's wait, but before that, , we must help him protect everyone, right?"
"Yes! I know, Sister Fei."
At this moment, Mu Qianxue and Song Yao hurried out of the house and met Concubine Luo Mi in the front yard.
Mu Qianxue stopped, but Concubine Luo Mi strode forward, walked in front of the former, and suddenly slapped Mu Qianxue on the face with her hand. There was a clear sound, and Mu Qianxue's fair side face immediately turned red. got up.
"Hey, how can you hit people casually, you..." Song Yao was surprised at first, and then felt very angry. She actually knew about Concubine Luo Mi's existence, but she didn't expect Concubine Luo Mi to do such a thing.
"Yao Yao," Mu Qianxue stopped the emotional Song Yao, "You go and drive first. Miss Luo and I have something to say, and we will come over later."
"No need! Everyone's identity is well known, and there is nothing to hide. I think she is qualified to listen to some words." Luo Mifei said coldly, but her cold eyes never looked away from Mu Qianxue. leave.
Mu Qianxue did not insist. She knew that Concubine Luo Mi was looking for her because it must be related to Qin Hao. Song Yao was indeed qualified to stay in matters related to Qin Hao. Moreover, she was a little afraid of the woman in front of her. She saw hatred and resentment in Concubine Luo Mi's eyes. She clearly encouraged herself not to be afraid, but when she saw that look, she still couldn't help but feel fear.
"I hate you! This slap is just to vent the anger in my heart. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when I see your face, I won't be able to control myself and want to kill you! If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have the right to appear in front of me. , and she has no right to call herself his wife!" Luo Mifei's eyes flashed with disdain and coldness, "I didn't like you from the beginning, because you are simply not worthy of him. Are you very proud now? He has no hesitation. He chose you and left everyone behind. In his heart, you alone are more important than all of them combined. You should be considered a victory now. You have defeated everyone, are you happy?"
Mu Qianxue pursed her lips tightly, forcing herself to muster up the courage, and counterattacked not to be outdone; "He was originally my husband, I was his wife, and he was mine. It was you who wanted to take him away. You didn't before." Have you ever threatened me? You said you would have someone snatch him away!"
"That's right! I said that, and I really think you can't do it. As soon as I saw you, I knew it would be hard for him to be with you. I just hoped they could snatch him away! But, they snatched him away Wasn't he still with you in the end?" Luo Mifei's eyes were a little red, but she didn't cry. She pointed at Song Yao, "She just wanted to share a little bit of his love, and she never thought about being with you. Even if he leaves, she will always be by your side, just like a normal person, accompanying you. Isn’t she sad? Isn’t she in pain? Doesn’t she hate you
If you hadn't been in a cold war with him, if you hadn't insisted on asking for trouble by pretending to be benevolent and refusing to let him kill everyone, would what happened now happen? But as for her, she has to face your face in grief and torture every day. Have you ever thought about it? You selfish woman! You know that she is stubborn and will always put you first, even at the risk of her own life. Now that you have defeated all of them, are you happy? If you succeed, you get everything from him, including his life. But, let me ask you, if he really died because of you, would you feel better? "
Mu Qianxue stared blankly at Concubine Luo Mi. It seemed like it was the first time she saw the cold woman in front of her showing her weak side. She looked at Song Yao again. At this moment, Song Yao's eyes were almost empty. She seemed to have just noticed. I don’t know when, Song Yao’s eyes turned red and swollen. She must have cried for him many times, and she must also resent me...
Concubine Luo Mi suddenly pulled Song Yao over and shook her shoulders vigorously: "It's already this time, how long are you going to keep silent? Speak out, say everything that's on your mind, just say it..."
