Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Raymond J. Bayer said, "Raise your hands if you disagree with the company's forced acquisition."

After saying that, he raised his hands, and the two who had just rejected it also raised their hands. In addition to the three of them, several others also raised their hands. Raymond J. Bayer has been in control of the company for so many years, and he still has some prestige. Many small shareholders also raised their hands.

"Your share is not even 50%, not even as high as my 45%." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"John, what are you doing?" Raymond J. Bayer shouted loudly to John.

John was one of the shareholders he had contacted in advance, and he owned 6% of the shares. The two had been working together for many years and had always been his staunch supporters. He didn't expect that he would fail at such a critical moment. When he and his friends directly rejected it just now, he didn't say anything, and now he didn't raise his hand to vote.

"Bayer, I'm sorry. I lost a lot of money in futures trading some time ago. Now I need money to make ends meet. I have agreed to sell my shares to Mr. Lin."

After John finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Lin Hao, took the transfer contract and signed his name, then walked out of the meeting room without even looking at it.

Raymond J. Bayer's face was livid. He didn't expect to be betrayed by his good friend. With this 6% stake, Lin Hao's shares have exceeded 51%, reaching the controlling stake, which also means that he has lost the company.

From 1890 to 2003, Julius Baer Bank has been in existence for 113 years. Although in order to maintain the independence and development of the bank, the bank was listed and lost a lot of equity, this does not mean that he wants to lose the company.

Lin Hao didn't know what he was thinking, so he said directly: "Who else wants to sell their shares now? This is the last chance. If you don't sell today, you won't have another chance in the future."

The overall situation has been decided. Selling now can make a lot of money. If you don't sell, Lin Hao's shares will be diluted and he will be forced out in the end.

After Lin Hao finished speaking, a large number of people stood up in the conference room, all took the transfer contract and signed their names. In the end, there were only some small shareholders who were not present, and Raymond J. Bayer and the other two.

The combined shares held by Raymond J. Bayer and the other two exceeded 40%. If they were determined not to sell, it would be a bit of a headache.

Fortunately, one of them looked at Raymond J. Bayer and then at Lin Hao, stood up, walked to Lin Hao, picked up the contract and signed his name.

"Bayer, the overall situation has been decided, so you should take the money and leave." He said to Bayer before leaving.

Bayer saw that one of his allies had left, and he felt even more disappointed. He had completely lost today, and there was probably no chance of a comeback.

Another person firmly supported Raymond J. Bayer. The two families were old friends, and they were not short of money. It didn't matter whether they sold their shares or not.

"Mr. Bayer, I understand your feelings for Bank of Julius Baer, ​​but the times are changing, and we should look forward. You can rest assured that I will continue to use the name of Julius Baer, ​​and let it continue to grow and become a world-class bank in my hands."

Lin Hao said to Raymond J. Bayer. Lin Hao was thinking about the entire acquisition and then delisting. Only when it became his own private property would there be more room for operation in the future. If the two were unwilling to sell, they could only slowly find a way later. It would be good to get the controlling rights.

"Mr. Lin, you won. Julius Baer is yours." After saying that, Raymond J. Bayer stood up and signed the transfer contract. If Julius Baer was not controlled by him, he would rather sell it.

Seeing that Raymond J. Bayer had sold all his shares, his friend also signed the contract and left with him.

.....

The conference room was empty, and almost everyone had left, leaving only Lin Hao and the people from Haohan Capital.

"Congratulations, boss, for successfully acquiring Bank of Julius Baer." Benjamin said immediately. Lin Hao's methods this week made him recognize Lin Hao again. Before, Lin Hao basically let his subordinates do everything.

But this time, Lin Hao came by himself to acquire the shares of Bank of Julius Baer. This week, Lin Hao met with many shareholders of Bank of Julius Baer and used various methods to make them sell their shares to Lin Hao. In fact, Lin Hao's shares could reach 51% before the shareholders' meeting, but in order to give Raymond J. Bayer a heavy blow, John's 6% was signed today.

It was this 6% equity that completely defeated Raymond J. Bayer and allowed Lin Hao to successfully acquire Bank of Julius Baer.

Lin Hao was in a very good mood, very happy, this sense of accomplishment was even better than when he fought against Sophie Marceau.

LinHao now holds more than 90% of the shares, and the remaining shares are in the stock market. There are also a few small shareholders who are not present today, but with more than 90% of the shares, they can already enforce privatization and delisting.

"The rest of the things are up to you. Now let's go visit the largest private bank in Switzerland." Lin Hao said and walked out of the meeting room.

......

The atmosphere at Julius Baer Bank today is particularly serious. In the past, everyone was mostly talking and laughing, drinking coffee, looking at the K-line chart, and making appointments to go out for drinks after work, but today everyone seems to be very busy, and there is basically no talking in the office.

Today's shareholders' meeting was held on the top floor of the company. The company's employees knew that it was issued a few days ago, and they also knew the reason. After all, their own stocks have been ups and downs this week. As bank employees, how could they not know?

But the shareholders' meeting was held, and it had nothing to do with ordinary employees like them. It was just that Lin Hao became the company's major shareholder, which made the employees eat melons. Lin Hao has been a household name in Europe in the past few months. He just spent 7 billion US dollars to acquire the luxury goods business of Richemont Group a few days ago. Now he has become the major shareholder of their company and held a shareholders' meeting. How can they not be curious?

The shareholders' meeting was held in the morning, and it was not until noon that shareholders came out one after another. Then various news began to spread in the company. The company has changed. It was a listed company in the last second, and it will become a private company in the next second.

The various versions of the fight between Lin Hao and Raymond J. Bayer at the meeting quickly spread throughout the company building. The cleaning lady knew all about it. There were all kinds of versions. Anyway, Raymond J. Bayer, the chairman and CEO of the company, was one step behind and eventually lost to Lin Hao, a world-class rich man, and lost the company. Now the company has a new owner.

Originally, the company's employees thought that at most the chairman would be replaced, but they did not expect that Lin Hao would actually buy out the shares of all shareholders present. This would definitely require delisting, because listed companies cannot allow shares to be overly concentrated in the hands of one person or one institution.
