There are various countermeasures against malicious acquisitions, such as what is temporarily established in the company's articles of association to add some clauses, and to increase the difficulty of the acquirer in obtaining control of the company.

After the target company is merged and acquired, if the management changes and company layoffs occur, the acquirer will pay the parachute plan for the target company's employees with huge termination costs.

Including the scorched earth plan for the sale of the "Crown Pearl" and "Puffy Tactics".

There is also the most classic counterattack method in the hostile takeover of a listed large company, which is to defend it. I have also collected your Parkman defense and so on.

Therefore, for the launch of the Black Knight plan, Andy and his think tanks will be laid for such a long time, and everything will hit Starbucks' stock price extremely, so that when starting the acquisition, Starbucks will fight back. Increased acquisition costs have cleared up space.

Even if the acquisition funds will be a part of the expected increase in time, but because of the deep digging in the early stage, it will be acceptable to the acquirer in the eyes of Andy.

The method is simple and rude, but the effect is significant. No matter whether the malicious acquisition is successful or not, Andy is already invincible.

Shorting Starbucks made a big profit, and it sucked when the stock price plummeted and broke through the support level. Taking advantage of the news of the acquisition, the stock price rebounded retaliatively. This is another big profit ...

Of course, for the meat on the other board, the acquisition of the guess group is not so troublesome.

In addition to the low-priced stocks absorbed from the capital market and the shares of several small shareholders that were acquired privately during this time, Liberty City Investment Company already holds 31% of the guess group.

The shareholding ratio has reached the first shareholder of the guess group, because the acquired shares are held in a decentralized form, at this time, the final battle for ownership has not been launched, and the hole cards are not yet untied.

"Boss, Paulo Romano is willing to settle privately, and agrees to sell the 14% of the shares at the issue price of guess, and is willing to compensate Kate Upton for $ 500,000 ..."

In the conference room of Liberty City Investment Corporation, Andy looked at Jimmy, the lawyer who represented Kate Upton in the harassment, with a funny look, listening to the terms of the settlement set by Paulo Romano.

"Is he right?"

Andy threw the folder in his hand at the conference table, and had no interest in looking it over. He sneered and said, "The issue price! He, he really dreams. Right now, the stock price of guess is only 6.2 dollars. Thinking about the issue price?

You tell him that either I buy his shares at a current price of 20% and get him out of jail, or I continue to suppress guess stock prices, let his assets continue to depreciate, and then hold his shares Kicked into prison, he will also face huge compensation!

Old guy, I really thought he was qualified to bargain with me! "

Looking at Jimmy, the lawyer who nodded and understood, Andy thought of the 33d Kate Upton, and asked indifferently, "How's the situation with Kate recently?"

"Not very good. It has been blocked by the media paparazzi. I heard that several previous interviews have been stopped, and the invitations of the three magazines have been canceled. At present, the job is completely stopped. She is now accompanied by her family. The industry's attitude towards this matter is a bit ambiguous and may have some impact on Kate Upton's future career. "

Hearing Jimmy's words, Andy sneered and said, "This is a violation of the rules for the fashion industry, and it scares a lot of people. They naturally won't like the disobedient girl like Kate, Blocked? Hehe ... "

Andy's sneer let everyone in the meeting room know that the big boss was holding his breath to clean up. It seems that the turmoil in Hollywood has just ended, and the witch-hunting drama in the fashion circle may soon be staged.

Alas, this year passed, is he really a lively one!

Sure enough, I heard Andy sitting on the main seat and wandering around the boss chair a few times and said, "Let's finish the acquisition of Gales first, and see if I can't sort out this dregs!"

He's angry, not because Kate has been cold-shouldered by the fashion industry. What is the career prospect of a young model? He really doesn't take it seriously. If he really wants to hold people, there is no shortage of resources. The resources of the world-famous fashion magazines of the Ster family are enough. The fashion magazines of the newspapers "Newsweek" and "The New York Observer" are enough to be a new model.

Of course, if the acquisition of the Gales Group is successful, Andy will not betray Kate. After all, it is she who created this opportunity, scratching the rabbit, so that he can get a good fashion company for a small price!

These things naturally can not be much with other people, let alone show their indifference to the future career of the small model, which will chill the hearts of the people, so it is necessary to show unreasonable short-term protection. Will increase the loyalty of the people.

Bardstone spoke in a timely manner, shifting the atmosphere that made the meeting a bit awkward and said: "The boss, already with the founders and shareholders of Gales, Armand Macerno and the brothers of Morris Macerno After contacting them, the two were a bit entangled in selling the shares of Gales. After all, this was a company founded by their brothers, and they were still very emotional.

Of course, the biggest obstacle to acquisition is the current stock price. The market value of Gales has been cut. At this time, the sale of the shares in the company will undoubtedly cause them heavy losses. It is even possible that even if they lose the power of the company, they will wait until the stock price rises. Make another plan later. "

Andy squints his eyes slightly, reaches out and touches his chin and groans. He understands this very well. No one is a fool. As long as the guess group can still create value, even if the stock is heavily suppressed, it will eventually rebound. After all, it is a well-known American brand. Although it cannot touch the side of luxury goods, it also belongs to the mid-to-high-end brands in the world's fashion industry. Its influence is similar to that of k and diesel tannins.

Because guess has always been the founder-owner-responsibility system, and it is not good to say, it was really brilliant, but it is currently eating a lot of money, and it involves everything, wants to make any money, but it has also been built into A good fashion brand, and this is the main reason that Andy fancy it.

After all, brands like Jack Jones, Levi's, and Uniqlo are all popular in the Tianchao market. Andy's apprehension of this market has reached the point where almost everything is wanted to be pushed inside.

The dynasty's market is really too large. The population of Western and European countries combined is only about 1.2 billion people, while the dynasty is almost 1.3 billion in one country. It is better to invest capital into the dynasty to compete for markets around the world. In the market, seize the Tianchao middle market.

"Talk to them and buy 50% of the shares in their hands. If it doesn't let go, leave them alone, wait until the acquisition is completed, immediately issue additional shares and dilute their shares!"

Andy decides to give first priority, after all, his method of acquiring and annexing the company is already well-known, and it is too vicious and rude. This is not a good thing, and will make him subject to many questions and precautions in future investments.

What he didn't know was that many people saw him as a greedy hungry wolf, and his money from Andy Smith really made people feel hot.
