Reborn Millennium Player

"Shanda is suspected of hostile takeover of Xinlang, and employees are shocked."

“Shanda invests heavily to acquire New Wolf, and China’s network landscape has changed again, with the territory being reorganized.”

"In the new year, the first earthquake in China's Internet. One is China's No. 2 comprehensive portal, and the other is China's No. 2 game company. Shanda acquires New Wolf and join forces to challenge No. 1 Penguin?"

"..."

It’s only been a few days since the New Year’s bell rang, and China’s IT circle has been completely shaken. Announcements, analyses, speculations, rumors and “rumor-refuting” statements have come one after another.

Shanda and Xinlang were immediately at the forefront. At the same time, on February 15, Chen Tianqiao secretly entered Beijing.

It claims to be negotiating cooperation with Microsoft, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is completely a pretense, and that it actually needs to contact and negotiate with the top management of New Wolf.

Chen Tianqiao took his secretary to the appointment on time and came to the underground science and technology restaurant in Zhongguancun. He saw that the lantern with the word "福" hanging at the door had not been removed and was always shining brightly.

"Mr. Wang."

He saw Wang Yan, and then saw Lu Fei sitting next to him, and couldn't help being surprised: "Hey, Mr. Lu is here too?"

"Mr. Wang asked me to be a witness. After all, I am both a director of New Wolf and a director of Shanda. If there is any dispute between you, I can mediate it."

Lu Fei said: "Mr. Chen, do you think there is a problem?"

"No."

Chen Tianqiao felt extremely vigilant in his heart, the person coming was not good, oh, it seemed like he was the one coming.

"It's the rare Lantern Festival, so we don't eat meat and fish and just eat glutinous rice balls. How about that?"

Lu Fei looked left and right, and seeing that neither of them had any objections, he ordered four large bowls of sesame glutinous rice balls.

Chen Tianqiao cleared his throat and said straight to the point that Shanda hoped to join the board of directors.

Wang Yan said: "For a powerful company like Shanda, Xinlang has no reason to refuse, but I heard that Mr. Chen not only wants to be a director, but also wants to control the board of directors, right?"

Chen Tianqiao was surprised. He didn't expect to be so frank, but obviously he also likes to be direct and say that Shanda's diversification needs the public opinion tool of New Wolf.

"Mr. Wang, the combination of Shanda and New Wolf will definitely become a force that cannot be ignored in China Internet and even the world. It is fully capable of being one of the top ten Internet giants in the world..."

Faced with the bigger and bigger pie, Wang Yan was not interested at all and asked: "Why didn't Shanda look for Sohu or NetEase, but chose New Wolf?"

Lu Fei was afraid that he wouldn't tell the truth, it was nonsense, the new wolf was the weakest and the most chaotic, so he was the easiest to bully.

"Shanda has always dreamed of becoming a cross-media, all-round entertainment industry empire. Our two companies have complementary advantages. 1+1 can definitely be greater than 2."

Chen Tianqiao talked endlessly, and Balabala talked a lot.

Wang Yan was indifferent, shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, to be honest, New Wolf is not interested in these, let alone Shanda's merger and acquisition."

"Mr. Wang's words don't represent the board of directors, right?"

Chen Tianqiao's eyes narrowed and he looked domineering.

"I have contacted all the directors and they all agree that Shanda's acquisition is completely a hostile takeover."

Wang Yan said with a straight face: "We will convene a board meeting soon. No matter what the cost, we will do our best to stop it!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Lu Fei watched quietly, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed the landlady coming with a dinner plate. He immediately gave his hand and handed it to everyone one by one.

However, the two sides remained motionless, facing each other face to face. The slightest spark would detonate the gunpowder barrel.

"Try it, try it all, this one tastes pretty good."

Lu Fei ate a rice dumpling and tried to smooth things over.

"The directors unanimously agree that Mr. Lu, does that include you? You don't agree with Shanda's acquisition of Xinlang either?"

Chen Tianqiao lowered his face and looked serious.

Lu Fei said: "Mr. Chen, there is a saying that a melon that is forced is not sweet, so why do you insist on forcing it?"

Chen Tianqiao was very domineering, "Twist, you have to twist, Mr. Lu, if you don't twist it, how will you know whether it is sweet or not?"

"Mergers and acquisitions are like marriages. If two families are quarreling endlessly and have great grievances before marriage, how can they expect happiness after marriage?"

Wang Yan suppressed his anger and warned: "Mr. Chen, I don't want us to break up. By then, Shanda may not even be able to enter the board of directors."

Chen Tianqiao turned his head and looked at Lu Fei, who was in a dazed mood:

"Does Mr. Lu also have this opinion?"

"To tell you the truth, before Shanda, I had already considered the idea of ​​acquiring New Wolf, but just like now, Mr. Wang and the others did not agree, and I did not force it. I respect their collective will."

Lu Fei advised: "Stop it, so as not to hurt your harmony."

Chen Tianqiao fell into deep thought for a while and finished the rice dumplings in the bowl without saying a word. Then he told his secretary to pay the bill and stood up to leave:

"Then that's all for today. Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, I'm leaving first."

Watching him disappear into the restaurant, Wang Yan looked solemn and said worriedly: "Mr. Lu, I don't think he will give up easily, what do you think?"

"Mr. Wang, you and Mr. Cao must be fully prepared."

Lu Fei raised his lips, "Of course, I won't stand idly by. If necessary, I will help."

Wang Yan was excited and confused, how could he help?

…………

On February 17, Shanda issued a disclosure announcement on its own website and Nasdaq at the same time. It has passed secondary market transactions and holds a cumulative 19.5% of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder of New Wolf.

The intention of merger and acquisition is obvious.

The stock prices of Shanda and New Wolf both rose in response.

However, in this takeover war, it was not just Shanda who gained, but also Lu Fei, who came out halfway. The two companies competed with each other in the secondary public market and frantically purchased goods.

"What is Mr. Lu doing?"

Chen Tianqiao slapped the table with both hands, "On the Lantern Festival, I was advised to stop, because I would also grab Xinlang's big deal."

"Without Mr. Lu's intervention, what could have been a perfect ending at US$25.8 per share turned into US$26.6 per share, which cost more than US$5.6 million."

Tang Jun typed on his calculator and calculated the final figure. The US$200 million he prepared had already been spent at 191 million.

"Enough! Enough to buy 0.5%."

Chen Tianqiao snorted coldly: "You do one thing in front of you and another behind your back. Aren't you just afraid that I will steal the new wolf? Haha, what do I think he will do now?"

With that said, I immediately asked about the approval progress of Form 13-d.

Tang Jun replied: "It will take 10 to 15 days."

"Why is it so slow! Where is the board of directors? Has New Wolf's board of directors opened?" Chen Tianqiao asked: "Is there any news from Duan Yongji?"

"I'll call again and ask."

Tang Jun hurriedly dialed the number, and they contacted each other quickly. In just a few minutes, it was like clear and cloudy, then cloudy, and the whole face was covered with haze, which was eerie and terrifying.

"What's the result? Have you heard about how they plan to fight back?" Chen Tianqiao had a vague premonition.

"Mr. Chen, no matter what, Cao Guowei and others have concocted a 'poison pill plan' to defeat everyone."

Tang Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.

Whenever Shanda increases its holdings by another 0.5% of its shares, other shareholders will have the right to purchase ordinary shares at half price. Not only will the shares already purchased be diluted from 19.5% to 2.28%, but if they further increase their holdings, the acquisition cost will soar to US$90 per share.

Knife or above.

"ctm!"

Chen Tianqiao was so angry that he almost jumped, "Has the board of directors approved this plan? Has it been passed?"

"Not yet. We will discuss it tomorrow. If the vote passes, it will be released in three days at the latest."

Tang Jun swallowed his saliva. There were 7 seats on the New Wolf board of directors, Duan Yongji from Sitong held 2 seats, and the remaining 5 seats were occupied by Lu Fei, Xu Xin, Wang Yan and others. Obviously, Shanda's chances of winning were slim.

"boom!"

Chen Tianqiao punched the table heavily. Although he was unwilling to do so, he was unable to do what he wanted and sighed helplessly:

"It seems that this merger is a disaster."

"Mr. Chen, we should change our strategy and seek voting seats on the board of directors."

"That's right, you and I want to work together. When we join the board of directors, we can win one or two seats in the next installment election by virtue of our status as the largest shareholder."

Chen Tianqiao pretended to be relaxed and said: "We will launch a new round of mergers and acquisitions plans from within. If we come up with another 'poison pill', we can directly overthrow it as long as we cooperate with Duan Yongji."

"Well, Mr. Chen, it may be too late. It was proposed together with the 'Poison Pill Plan' and the White Knight Plan."

Tang Jun reported truthfully, but saw Chen Tianqiao's eyebrows twitching uncontrollably, his eyes dull, and his expression ferocious:

"No, no, it's not a poison pill. If our acquisition costs increase, it stands to reason that so will Mr. Lu!"

"Ahem, Duan Yongji just said on the phone that he plans to transfer all the 4.9% he owns to Mr. Lu. If you include the three bodies, he estimates that he will own at least 22%."

"Also, that is to say..."

Chen Tianqiao's heart suddenly twitched, and his eyes slowly turned into a lake.

Tang Jundao: "Mr. Lu is going to control the new wolf."

"It's been a long time, and the fisherman has benefited, eh~"

Chen Tianqiao's shoulders trembled, and gradually his whole body trembled. His breathing became more and more rapid and difficult, and his face turned blue and white.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Jun suddenly noticed something was wrong with his state.

"Medicine, medicine..."

Chen Tianqiao desperately covered his chest and pointed his trembling fingers towards the drawer. However, at this moment, the door behind him suddenly opened.

There was a bang, and Tang Jun was so frightened that he lost his grip on the medicine bottle. Without paying attention, he took it out and fell to the ground.

"Brother, something big happened, something big happened!"

Chen Danian ignored it and said angrily: "Penguin's "Miracle Mu" is announced to be free, and the point card payment is cancelled."

"What?!"

Lu Fei's appearance appeared in Chen Tianqiao's mind, and he just opened his mouth and said, "Stop it, Mr. Chen." For a moment, his heart hurt like a knife, and then his eyesight went black.

"Mr. Chen!"

"elder brother!

"
