Chapter 406: Hostile Takeover Meets White Knight(2/2)
Abel nodded.
If you are discovered, you will be discovered. After all, 18% of the shares have been acquired by yourself. If this company cannot be discovered, the management will really have enough pigs.
When Viacom's shares were just acquired by him, about 5% to 6%. Lei Shi Dong came to him immediately. Now Limited Brands is very slow to do so.
What's more, every time Alvertley and Rana acquire other people's shares, they do so urgently. It is normal for others to buy a company, which is slowly earning each other's shares for several months, half a year, or even several years.
I'm on the side.
It is required to take effect within ten days each time.
With strong funds, this method is indeed the fastest and most convenient. However, the disadvantages are the same, once the other party is unwilling to be acquired.
There was Viacom's struggle before.
Now there are Limited Brands seeking the help of the White Knight.
"Then start the general attack!"
Abel said simply.
"Start directly to the other party for an acquisition invitation! By the way, what is their market value now?!"
Alvertley whispered: "According to the market value of today's stocks, it's about $8.9 billion!"
"10 billion US dollars! Quote them 10 billion US dollars, we are willing to acquire them all!" Abel said with certainty.
"OK!"
Alvertley breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that the boss would be a little angry because the incident was exposed.
The matter was exposed so quickly, and it was actually because of him and Rana. They have been too high-profile recently and are gone. The nervousness and low-keyness of the acquisition of Viacom. Although it seems calm, in such a short few days, the two of them contacted dozens of domestic investment masters on the West Coast and the United States of America, all for the stock of Limited Brands.
So obvious and direct.
If Limited Brands doesn't find out again, he will be a fool.
“By the way.”
Abel asked with interest.
“Which company did Limited Brands seek help? Who do they think can be their White Knight?”
"Many companies! There are gaps, Richemont Group, LVMH, and LVMH, which are also companies in the industry. There are also large investment institutions, and they even ask Buffett for help!"
"Buffett?"
Abel has a nature.
"Will Buffett be interested?"
"Don't know."
"Okay. Their reaction is so great! Then let them find their White Knight! If their White Knight is willing, our stock can be sold to him! More than 1.4 billion US dollars, if they want it, take it 2 billion US dollars!"
Abel said nothing.
There are two main purposes for the acquisition of LB company. One is to make himself better contact with the Victoria's Secret supermodels. The second purpose is that he already has Paramount. In the future, in terms of fashion design and clothing, he will not let his own clothing company go.
Both purposes have alternative ways.
Victoria's Secret's supermodels.
Even if you don’t become their boss, it’s actually not difficult to get involved. Little Little Little Little is so easy to get started. If you change to a richer, younger and more handsome self, the difficulty will definitely be lower.
As for the clothing company.
To be honest, lb is not very outstanding. There are more clothing companies with better prices than it, such as the Gap Group mentioned earlier.
This clothing group is a garment company in the United States and has good benefits all over the world.
If you only consider the second purpose, acquiring gap is much more cost-effective than acquiring Victoria's Secret's parent company.
If the other party’s asking price is too outrageous now, then you can kill the other party in reverse.
It depends on who is willing to take over.
After asking about LB, Abel cared about another thing.
"How is Blue Star 1 selling in the future?"
This is the only company in the industry under your name that can bring profits to you.
Although it only earns hundreds of millions of dollars a month, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. Although hundreds of millions of dollars are small, it is enough to use them as daily expenses.
Speaking of this.
The two of them, who were originally a little nervous, immediately became energetic.
Lana quickly said: "If it weren't for your instruction by Mr. Chairman, the orders would only be scheduled for two months! It is estimated that Blue Star's current orders will be scheduled for ten years later!"
"At present, a total of ten units have been sold! Three of them were sold to [American Electronic Waste Treatment Company], which is the joint venture between Blue Star Future and Vivik Ranadave! And they also received orders of 20 units, with two months of production!" Alvertley took over and said.
"According to your requirements, all are booked in full! Except for the three orders of [American Electronic Waste Treatment Company]! Blue Star will earn a total of US$2.7 billion in the next few days!"
Abel was very satisfied.
He nodded.
"good."
This is the real hen that can lay golden eggs! Others that can only rely on their own money at present. If you want to see profits, you really don’t know when.
This kind of money-burning gameplay.
Only you can afford to play.
Just thinking this way.
The phone suddenly rang.
Abel looked at it.
It was not in contact for a long time, John Mellon of Wells Fargo.
Old friend.
