Chapter 134
Chapter 137:
The voice fell to the ground, I did not explain further, just waited silently for their response.
Jocelyn frowned, but she didn’t show the slightest confusion. She has never shown timidity.
As for the big boss…
He looked at me with the eyes of a madman.
The boss did not ask for explanation, and silence can be understood as a test. Although there was his attitude in the silence, but on the other side, the big boss’s respect for me was undoubtedly revealed.
Although his eyes staring at the madness itself have not changed, the longer it lasted, the more I felt that my proposal was being treated with caution.
In the next moment, I smelled hope.
The big boss looked at me and suddenly laughed wildly.
“You are very kind, brave enough. I like it!” The big boss rubbed his face, “but why do you guarantee that others will cooperate with our plan? Crab shells are our life and death line, but for them, this It’s just an important investment. It’s not a common choice to make trouble for a tens of billion-dollar business and an old rival of similar size.
The big boss really quickly understood the intention of my proposal. This kind of commercial sensitivity is what I lack. The situation does not become data and falls on paper. It is usually difficult for me to make intuitive judgments only through a vague description.
I do things by analysis.
He only relies on a pair of insightful eyes to do things.
When you are overseas, you care about your home and country. Especially for our industry, many model experiences and lessons are learned from the history of several domestic companies. Keeping an eye on relevant news all the year round can be described as basic professionalism.
In a market where the potential has been basically tapped to the limit, the giants usually occupy the top of the mountain and check and balance each other: some people say that this is a long monopoly.
Where there are people, there is struggle, not to mention the focus is on things like capital that don’t know how to turn back: I think there is no room for two tigers.
The following discussion went smoothly. Regarding the relationship between the neighboring base camp and the southern giants, and the reasons for both injecting capital into our company, the big boss and I have each had in-depth thoughts and reached a consensus very quickly.
The domestic giants next door have been using several subsidiaries to increase their holdings of our shares in various ways in recent years, and they have now reached 12% of the total shares. Since last year, our stock price has risen sharply, and this increase in holdings has not slowed down.
To say that I have no idea, I don’t believe it.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if I believe it or not, it claims that it is innocent. Will the old rival in the South believe it?
Crab shell is one of the core of the group. Although the southern giants hold fewer shares in the company, the degree of emphasis cannot be ignored. As long as we have sufficient momentum and maintain strong deterrence throughout the process, we can plant the seeds of suspicion.
They are so generous that they spend money everywhere in the world, and they regard Southeast Asia as the current important town. This land is too fertile. Once the seeds are buried, the future must germinate and take root, fully vigilant.
At that time, there will be a pair of hands from all directions that will be severely chopped off.
Without it, fully armed is too expensive, and no one sleeps in armor.
“I have a question. If everything goes well, they successfully sell part of the shares I hold, but their thinking changes again. What should I do?” The big boss looked at me, “This is an unmanageable risk after all. ”
I raised my eyebrows slightly. As a typical commercial gambler, he now even says “unmanageable risk”. It seems that people have the ability to grow at any time.
“This is the most cunning part of the whole project.” I try to get rid of the mischievous smiles caused by designing others, to make myself look professional, “I would recommend that you sell no more than 1% of the Shares.”
How keen, Jocelyn looked at the big boss for a moment, and immediately interjected: “Are you trying to give a confusing message?”
I answered: “Yes.”
After hearing my affirmation, Jocelyn nodded slowly, not very much, and did not make a sound.
I asked again: “As shareholders who have become major shareholders like this, when they increase their holdings, do they need to do another due diligence?”
“It depends on the other party’s process regulations.” Jocelyn gently propped her chin, “In addition, as Lisong, transferring this amount of shares will still bring some extra guesswork. Appointing a specific buyer can also easily bring meaning. For unexpected troubles, you can consider open bidding-but at the same time, you must also pay attention to the risk of public opinion. The outside world will inevitably notice this change.”
“I want to use the contract to make a trick on the slow-moving and pre-disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Law.” I explained a few words and said, “The actual shares of the transferred shares are completely within the regulations, and during the negotiation, We give a ratio that is tempting enough to persuade the opponent to participate in the game.”
The big boss suddenly said: “One percent of the stock is still acceptable. The stock price is now at a high level and you can put out about one billion US dollars in cash before tax. Good deal.”
I glanced at Jocelyn quietly. She really didn’t want to take this sentence.
I don’t dare to take it, but this is the big boss, and if Jocelyn doesn’t take the call, I must support it. I chuckled for a while and said: “Of course, it is our unanimous goal to completely avoid the outflow of shares. However, considering the time limit, I feel that the plan must be formulated to maintain respect for the basic facts. In addition,’one percent ‘It’s still a theoretical number…”
The big boss waved his hand.
I stopped immediately: “Yes?”
He waved his hand upward, pursing his mouth and said, “You speak Mandarin.”
I just opened my mouth.
The big boss said again: “I mean, you speak Mandarin in English.”
A secret smile flashed across Joseline’s face.
The big boss asked me to speak human words, don’t go around, use words to pack the language too neutral and complicated. I moved awkwardly and said, “Okay. I mean, they don’t necessarily listen to us. If I were in charge of their investment department, even if the group has this intention, I will do more. Fix our vision in the field that our company has mastered, instead of being led by the other party. This also means that the share transfer contract we really want may also have a large number of clauses to require the transferor Indeed, in accordance with the agreement in the negotiation, all the shares involved will be transferred to the assignee within the specified time.”
I watched carefully the look of the big boss, and made sure that he could still accept this level of “human words”, and then said: “…This is why, I estimate that the loss may reach several times the level of billions of dollars. At least in At the strategic level, we need to understand that such a judgment is entirely possible to be truly fulfilled.”
He glanced at the time, nodded slightly, and said, “These details can be discussed later.”
I say yes, and ignore his behavior of calling such astronomical figures “details.”
“The key now is who will be our matchmaker.” The big boss tapped a finger on the keyboard lightly and made a slight noise. “There is no need to pack the information too complicated. Find a way to pass the message. Going out, but not directional, make sure that the person in charge of the other party thinks that the news that I intend to sell part of the equity is obtained by accident. They should act automatically, and no additional actions are required.”
I nodded. The several plans I initially envisioned are more complicated than what the big boss said, but I have no experience in capital operation, so I should trust his judgment at this moment.
“As for the shareholders who support our team, as many as possible, the better. I will see what I can do.” The sound of tapping the keyboard paused for a moment, and the big boss looked at me and said, “You do very good.”
“Thank you.” I squeezed a smile on my face and considered it. After making sure that the big boss has nothing more to confess, I said again: “There are also some things suggested by the company’s framework. I made a simple plan. , Would you like to print it out, or do we find time to have a meeting?”
The big boss raised his head slightly, seeming a little surprised: “Corporate framework?”
“Yes. After the proposal to establish a subsidiary is rejected, we first need to prove that the money paid to BCG is not in vain, and second, we need to explain that through continuous internal adjustments, the company’s structure is always in line with the current benefits. To avoid future troubles.”
After listening, he smiled and handed the tablet to me: “Very sensitive?”
“There is some sensitivity. If possible, I hope that the content can be kept offline at all times to eliminate possible risks.” I try to make the tone sound normal without any deep meaning, but there is some room for extension in the implicit. Now is not the time to talk about my multiple tasks, and the big boss does not need to know the details of my tasks. This tacit understanding still exists between us.
The big boss nodded slightly: “Let’s have a meeting. Find a time this week, preferably in the morning. This way I can wake up a little bit.”
“I’ll arrange it.” Jocelyn glanced at the watch dial on her wrist barely, and whispered, “The meeting has five minutes to start. Does it need to be postponed?”
He shook his head: “No. You don’t need to be there today.”
The two looked at each other lightly, and Jocelyn lowered her head in response, and led me out of the office.
I know, she wants me to explain.
Although today’s bold proposal is rooted in a step-by-step analysis of public information, if there is no additional channel, I have found such a tricky, high-risk method like crazy. No one will believe this kind of rhetoric. . Following up on Kevin’s progress, I have not yet reported to the big boss or Jocelyn. After many previous consultations, the big boss has shown complete disinterest in some methodologies or action reports on “this matter”. On the one hand, it is delegating power to me. On the other hand, it is like letting a horse go to eat grass.
If I make a betrayal, Jocelyn has a way to deal with me.
Put the computer in the bag, and Jocelyn put on a mask. I also followed the action, thinking: she will not drag me to a public meeting place for “friendly talks”.
What are you really afraid of?
Jocelyn pressed the elevator on the nineteenth floor and said, “Go and get your bag. What do you want to eat? I’ll treat you to dinner.”
She wants to make up the last dinner.
