Chapter 694

Nowadays, the market value of Blue Star Network has been between 300 million and 350 million. Last year's profit was US$25.63 million, but one of them was that the online shopping section was sold to Standard Group for US$25 million. Later, Blue Star Network specialized in advertising and promotion business, which was considered accidental, so the actual profit was only hundreds of thousands of dollars. This result is... very good. How many high-tech companies have a long-lasting profit and are constantly burning money?

The equity structure of Blue Star Network is like this: Jing Jian either holds shares in a private account or a privatization company registered in the Cayman Islands, such as White Lotus and Water Well. In short, Jing Jian holds shares directly, accounting for 20.5%. The indirect shareholding ratio through Iceberg Network is 23.6%, and Jim and other employee stocks, including internal rewards to Kent, Jaton, Tian Pengfei, Guo’s brother and sister, hold 8.3%, the affiliated company Microsoft, 5%, the sixth son of the Pingtian family, and the rest are public stocks.

Judging from this equity structure, the equity directly and indirectly controlled by Jing Jian can easily control the absolute controlling rights. Unfortunately, some people may have overlooked something very important. In fact, Jing Jian's controlling rights are not that stable.

Perhaps some people still remember that in order to successfully go public through a backdoor listing in Blue Star.com and avoid the criticism caused by political factors, Jing Jian once made a significant concession, not only giving up nearly 20% of his equity to Wall Street, but also promised that he personally owned the shares and gave up the company's management and operating rights within three years. In other words, the 20.5% he held privately only had dividend rights within three years and did not enjoy voting rights.

Of course, in exchange, the US Securities and Exchange Commission acquiesced to all shareholder rights of Iceberg Network. Let’s not talk about this difficult professional term. Simply put, it is to allow Jing Jian to indirectly control Blue Star Network through Iceberg Network and agree that Iceberg Network’s ceo Jim also serves as Blue Star Network’s ceo. From the perspective of form, it is actually a kind of change of soup and no medicine. Jing Jian can still indirectly control Blue Star Network’s operations through Jim.

However, there is a hidden danger here. Originally, Jing Jian directly and indirectly controlled 44.1% of the shares, plus the stocks owned by Ping Tiankang, which basically won’t reverse the situation. After removing Microsoft, which is basically neutral, other public stocks control at most 36.7% of the shares, which is not a threat to Jing Jian. However, after losing that 20.5%, those with voting rights suddenly fell to 23.6%. If they are simply largely counted by their opponents at the shareholders’ meeting, they are likely to lose control of Blue Star. At least it is impossible to regain it during the three-year ban period.

...

Veroso watched the female secretary twist her waist and closed the door, and laughed and scolded: "A unrestrained woman! You should learn more about the implicitness of the Oriental girl!" After that, he began to dial Jing Jian's phone number.

After finishing his work in Taiwan, Veroso was arranged by Jing Jian to manage his private securities account on Wall Street. In this upcoming Gulf War, although Jing Jian's main funds were basically in the Hirata Consortium and the Angel Foundation, he still left more than 20 million US dollars in the Wall Street Securities account. Such "little" funds are not conspicuous and require a wild trader, so Veroso is just right.

However, Veroso reported to Jing Jian today: "Boss, I have asked my friend to check it out, and someone is indeed secretly operating behind the scenes. Several of them already own about 15% of Blue Star Network's shares and may soon make an offer of acquisition."

"Do you know which ones it is?" Jing Jian frowned slightly.

"Basically, they all come from several Chinese consortiums in the East, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The leader is Wang An Computer..."

"Who?" Jing Jian was shocked. Wang An computer was unable to protect itself and suffered losses for years. Moreover, the founder of the company, Mr. Wang An, just passed away in March this year. After all, he should be stable, right? Why did he suddenly launch a malicious acquisition of his Blue Star Network?

"The boss is Wang An Computer. The main force in the acquisition is the foundation owned by the Wang An family. I heard that Mr. Wang Lie is going to take over Blue Star Network in the future. Yes, it is him."

Jing Jian felt quite funny and didn't even notice Veroso's contemptuous tone. Even in the United States, Wang Lie is still a typical prodigal son. In any case, he cannot underestimate any opponent, so Jing Jieke ordered: "Veroso, you are responsible for this matter. You can inquire about the specific information about the acquisition, and ask Smith and his law firm to inquire about all the financial data of Wang An's computer. Does Berry know? It's the private detective in Los Angeles? Let him inquire about the private situation of the Wang family, especially Wang Lie. You strengthen your contacts and report the latest news to me in a timely manner."

"I understand, boss!"

...

At this time, at the door of the manor where Wang An’s family is located, Wang Lie was supporting an old Chinese man into the car. At the moment when he got on the car, the old man gently patted Wang Lie’s hand with a kind smile: “Alie, do it boldly, we uncles will support you. Let him go over the past. Who wouldn’t fall a lot when he was young? I’m optimistic about you and also optimistic about your vision. If the money is not enough, I can still give 10 million US dollars here.”

"Thank you, thank you, Uncle Chen." Wang Lie was happy. Although he liked to be a young master when facing unknown people, he was very polite when meeting elders with status. This Uncle Chen from the Chen family of Malaysia was one of the representatives who supported Wang Lie to acquire Blue Star Network this time.

The car slowly drove out of the manor. A young man in the car asked Uncle Chen with doubts: "Uncle Second, Uncle An dare not hand over his company to A Lie. Wang An's computer situation is so good that A Lie is messed up. Even if we help him to buy that Blue Star Network, if he still does something nonsense, will we lose all our money?"

Chen Bo smiled slightly: "What we Chinese people pay attention to is friendship. How can A'an's body not cold? Besides, A'lie was raised since I was a child, and there is no big problem with being a human being. It's just that A'an is in poor health and is anxious to let him take over and pull seedlings to grow. Now that he has been tempered for a few years, we uncles should give him a chance."

Wang An is certainly the first-class person in his character and behavior when he can start from scratch. In the Chinese circle, Wang An has always had a good reputation for being righteous and wealthy during his lifetime, and many people have received his help. Therefore, this time Wang Lie asked for a visit, and many people like Uncle Chen returned favors.
