There are many countermeasures to deal with hostile takeovers, such as temporarily setting up some clauses in the company's articles of association to increase the difficulty for the acquirer to obtain control of the company.

When the target company is merged, if there is a management change and company layoffs, the acquirer will pay a huge amount of dismissal expenses for the target company's employees.

A scorched-earth plan involving the sale of "The Crown Jewel" and "Puffy Tactics."

In addition, in the face of the most classic counterattack method in the hostile takeover of a large listed company, turning defense into offense, I will also accept your Parkman defense technique and so on.

Therefore, for the launch of the Black Knight Project, Andy and his think tank have laid the groundwork for so long, and they will do everything possible to hit Starbucks' stock price, in order to make Starbucks counterattack when the acquisition is launched. The capital floating space of the increased acquisition cost has been cleared.

Even if the acquisition funds will be partly higher than expected, it will be acceptable in the eyes of Andy, the acquirer, because of the deep digging in the early stage.

The method is simple and crude, but the effect is remarkable. Regardless of whether the hostile takeover is successful or not, Andy is already invincible.

Shorting Starbucks made a lot of profit. When the stock price plummeted and broke through the support level, it was bought at a low price. Taking advantage of the good news of the acquisition, the stock price rebounded retaliatoryly. This is another large profit. . .

Of course, for the meat on another chopping board, the guess group's acquisition is not so troublesome.

In addition to the low-priced stocks absorbed from the capital market, as well as the shares of several minority shareholders acquired privately during this period, Liberty City Investment Company already holds 31% of the shares of Guess Group.

The shareholding ratio has reached the number one shareholder of the Guess Group, because the acquired shares are held in a decentralized manner. At this time, the final battle for ownership has not yet been launched, and the time for the hole card to be released is not yet ready.

"Boss, Paul Magirno is willing to settle privately, and at the same time agrees to sell 14% of the shares in his hands at the issue price of guess, and is willing to compensate Kate Upton US$500,000..."

In the conference room of Liberty City Investment Company, Andy looked at Jimmy, the attorney representing Kate Upton in the harassment case, with a funny face, and listened to Paul Magirno's settlement terms conveyed by him.

"Is he out of his mind?"

Andy threw the folder in his hand on the conference table, not even interested in flipping through it, and said with a sneer, "Issuance price! Damn him, he really can dream, and now the stock price of guess is only 6.2 US dollars. Thinking about the issue price?

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

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

Looking at the attorney Jimmy who nodded in understanding, Andy thought of the 33D pair of Kate Upton, and asked calmly, "How is Kate doing recently?"

"It's not very good. I have been besieged by the media paparazzi. I heard that several advertisements for the previous interviews have also been stopped, and the invitations to the three magazines have also been cancelled. At present, the work is in a state of complete suspension. Now she has been accompanied by her family. Fashion The world's attitude towards this matter is a bit ambiguous, which may have some impact on Kate Upton's future career."

Hearing Jimmy's words, Andy couldn't help but sneered and said: "This incident is breaking the rules for the fashion industry, and it also scares many people. Naturally, they don't like the appearance of disobedient girls like Kate. Ban it? Hehe..."

Andy's sneer let everyone in the conference room know that the big boss is holding his breath and wants to deal with people. It seems that the turmoil in Hollywood has just ended, and the witch hunt in the fashion circle may soon be staged.

Tsk tsk, this year has been really exciting for him!

Sure enough, I heard Andy, who was sitting in the main seat, turn around the boss chair a few times and say, "After completing the acquisition of Gaels first,

See if I don't piss out these scumbags! "

He was angry, not because Kate was treated coldly by the fashion industry. He really didn't care about the career prospects of a small model. If he really wanted to flatter people, he really didn't lack resources, let alone Amandah. The resources of those world-renowned fashion magazines in the Ster family, even the fashion magazines owned by the two newspapers, are enough to be a new young model.

Of course, if the Gales Group is successfully acquired, Andy will not treat Kate badly. After all, she is the one who created this opportunity and beat the rabbits so that he can get a good fashion company at a very small price!

Naturally, these things should not be compared with other people, let alone show disregard for the future career of the young model in front of the subordinates. This will chill the hearts of the subordinates, so it is necessary to show unreasonable protection of shortcomings. Will increase the loyalty of subordinates.

Bardstone's timely opening diverted the awkward atmosphere of the meeting and said: "Boss, I have already negotiated with the founders and shareholders of Gales Company, brothers Armand and Maurice Magirno. After getting in touch, the two were a little entangled in selling the shares of Gales Company. After all, this company was founded by their brothers, and they still have a lot of affection.

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

Andy narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched his hand to touch his chin and pondered for a while. He understood 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 brand in the United States. Although it is not a luxury brand, it is also a mid-to-high-end brand in the world fashion industry. Its influence is similar to that of ck and diesel denim.

Guess has always been the founder-boss responsibility system. To put it bluntly, it was really brilliant in the past, but now it is largely based on its laurels, and it dabbles in everything and wants to make any money. A relatively good fashion brand, which is the main reason why Andy fell in love with it.

After all, brands like Jack Jones, Levi's, and Uniqlo are all popular in the Tianchao market, and Andy's coveting of this market has reached the point where he wants to stuff almost everything into it.

The market of China is really too big. The combined population of Western and European countries is only about 1.2 billion people, while China alone has almost 1.3 billion people. It is better to invest money and energy in China to compete with others all over the world. In the market, seize the middle-class market in China.

"Talk to them, go up to buy 50% of their shares. If you don't let them go, then ignore them. When the acquisition is completed, issue additional shares immediately to dilute their shares!"

Andy decided to be courteous before fighting. After all, his methods of acquiring and annexing companies are already well-known, and they are too fierce and rude. This is not a good thing, and it will make him be questioned and guarded a lot in future investments.

What he didn't know was that many people already regarded him as a greedy hungry wolf, and it would really make people feel hot for his Andy Smith's money.
