Coquettish Rebirth

"Okay Mr. Jia, then I'm going to move to the West Coast later, and we will work hard to make this mobile phone. I believe we will create a big scene, won't we?" Andy Rubin was very happy Said. "Sure, otherwise I wouldn't invest in you, right?" Jia Hongjian smiled, and then talked about another thing, "By the way, all kinds of strange little things you study, as long as you feel Interesting, in fact, it is possible to send relevant research materials back to the Huaxia Academy of Sciences in China, of course, it is best to send them after half a year, and within half a year I will do a little trick."

Jia Hongjian understands that although he is the majority shareholder of the current Sherlock Holmes Company, it is actually a joint-stock company and a listed company. Therefore, the research results of the mobile business department under Holmes Company should of course belong to Holmes Company That is, it belongs to all shareholders.As for him, the major shareholder, it is actually a taboo to steal such an intellectual property owned by all shareholders back to China.Just like after buying Kia, you can't just get all the technical data from Kia back to China. After all, there are still other shareholders in Kia.And after the company is completely privatized and delisted, there will basically be no such problems. At that time, he will be the only boss, and what he says is what he says.

Speaking of privatization, Jia Hongjian made some inquires about it, and knew that he was about to start taking action soon—because privatization is not to say that it will be ok once we announce it. After all, the stock market is a market.The tradable shares have been sold, and if you want to buy them back, it depends on whether others are willing or not!Of course, in the United States, the country of the "beacon of freedom", the right to speak whether you are willing or not mainly refers to major shareholders who have purchased tradable shares, such as various investment funds and the like.Even in this so-called free country and the hometown of warriors, small and medium-sized investors are farts, so don’t worry about them at all—as long as they design a little premium, that is, buy it at a price that is about [-]% higher than the current price, they have no right to buy it. reserved.Can only be forced out of the field.It's okay to make trouble.After being cleared, they went back and slowly filed a class action lawsuit, and they could not sue Jia Hongjian for forcing them to sell the stocks. At most, they could only sue Jia Hongjian for the low price that caused them to lose money...

The so-called freedom in the United States generally refers to the freedom of all kinds of predators.What about major shareholders?Jia Hongjian made some inquiries here.That still needs to hire various intermediaries—that is, securities companies or something.Let their public relations specialist represent Jia Hongjian in the past to do various major shareholder work.Suppose a pension investment fund in Canada invests in the stock of Sherlock Holmes in the stock market, and buys a lot.So now that Jia Hongjian wants to be privatized and delisted, he needs to ask the intermediary public relations specialist to chat with this Canadian investment fund.It depends on what price people are willing to sell the stock at.This price may be [-]% to [-]% higher than the stock price, it may be [-]% higher, or even [-]% higher than the stock price!The specific amount depends on the result of the discussion with the public relations specialist!

In addition, in addition to paying a higher price than the stock price to buy tradable shares, there are other series of costs, such as auditing before delisting, and a large accounting firm to help Calculate the approximate amount of money needed. If it turns out that the money on hand is not enough, in addition to borrowing money from Bill Gates and others, what may be needed is to borrow from the bank or something, and then go through the process again.Then, in order to prevent small and medium-sized investors from class action, it is necessary to find a law firm to help with the terms and so on.The mess is added together, and the money spent is really a lot!

Moreover, this kind of privatization and delisting does not mean that it will be successful!When encountering such thorny large-scale investors, they just don't want to sell, which is also a headache.Because if a company is unwilling to sell, all previous efforts may be wasted in the end. Even if all other stocks are bought, it is only the last 10% that cannot be bought back, which may mean that there is no way to privatize and delist!However, the chances of encountering thorns are not very high. Basically, the process of privatization and delisting is basically smooth, and there will not be too many disturbances.

After all, like in 2012 before Jia Hongjian's rebirth, Mike Dell had already started to operate the privatization and delisting of Dell.Even though there were bumps and bumps along the way and various problems along the way, Jia Hongjian believed that Dell's delisting would not be a big problem, and it would definitely be done in the end.As for Sherlock Holmes' delisting, it is definitely not as difficult as Dell's. Don't forget what Jia Hongjian and his company are doing now!Although the performance of Sherlock Holmes has not declined, it is just that investors who are affected by the market are not optimistic, and the bubble that was previously highly regarded by various investors has been squeezed out, so the stock price has fallen all the way to one-tenth of the original, but this is very One of them is basically the real stock price.After all, Sherlock Holmes still has online shopping, music pods, and even portals and search engines. These projects have always been profitable. How could it be possible to go bankrupt like other companies?

As for Mike Dell's company, when his company was preparing for privatization, it was not the time of the stock market crash. At that time, Dell's company was a big stock of 300 to [-] billion!If such a company is going to be delisted in the prosperous age, don't investors want to make trouble?But if Holmes Company wants to delist, it only needs to be higher than the current surface value!

Next, Jia Hongjian approached the law firm hired by their Holmes company and asked them to start preparing for the comprehensive issue of privatization and delisting.After their suggestion, Jia Hongjian, in the name of the company's board of directors, greeted all the employees of Holmes Company, upstream and downstream suppliers, etc. first.Tell everyone that after privatization, everything will remain the same, how to do things or how to do things, nothing will change.

Then, let Holmes Company disclose to the media that it will be privatized and delisted—although it seems to be too early to announce it now, because Jia Hongjian himself expected it to be a few months later.But the lawyers suggested that it is better to start now, because even if the privatization is successful, it will take three to five months or even seven or eight months!Jia Hongjian was still counting on leading the privatized Sherlock Holmes Company to fight against the rivers and lakes at the beginning of next year. How could it be delayed for too long?

After Holmes Corporation announced its privatization plan, many media in the United States immediately began to pay attention and report.Although privatization and delisting in the U.S. stock market are not uncommon, even in the 2030s, it is not common after all, nor does it happen every year.So as soon as it appeared, everyone flocked to report, isn't this normal?Jia Hongjian arranged for the company's employees to speak in unison to the outside world - saying that the company's privatization is for long-term development, because if it goes public, a lot of news will be disclosed every year, and these news may hinder Holmes' company from competing with its competitors.Although it seems that there are no comparable competitors yet, after privatization, Holmes will invest in some fields suitable for long-term research and focus on long-term development.

Such a unified statement by Jia Hongjian is not considered nonsense.Because Holmes Company is a listed company, he has not allowed Holmes Company to make any big moves in the past two years. After all, after making a big move and making money, it still has to be distributed to others!So from this point of view, for the long-term development of Sherlock Holmes, it still needs to be privatized, so that Jia Hongjian can turn all his ideas into products, right?

If the company is owned by Jia Hongjian personally, he can invest in whatever he wants to invest, and research whatever he wants the company to research. He doesn’t have to think about being responsible to shareholders, stock prices, or short-term investment. How good is it to produce results?Although on the other hand, even if his company is listed, because he occupies an absolute majority of the stocks, when he doesn't value the stock price, no one can say anything about him...

While the media were rushing to report, the intermediary public relations specialists Jia Hongjian and the others hired also began to contact large investment institutions that had acquired a large number of shares of Holmes in the stock market.In fact, generally speaking, these large investment institutions are still very willing to sell stocks-after all, after the stock market crash, stock prices have dropped too much!As for their institutions, they also have to explain to their customers!Nor are they speculating in stocks for themselves.If you speculate in stocks for yourself, you can hold your teeth for a long time and expect the stock price to rebound in two or three years.But if you invest in stocks for others, can they bear the loss of performance for two or three consecutive years?Don't they fall out?Therefore, in order to improve the performance and reduce losses, these investment institutions are very willing to sell the stock back to Holmes, and the price offered is also acceptable-a 30% premium.That is to say, if a share is, for example, 10 dollars, Jia Hongjian and the others will use 13 dollars to buy the stocks in their hands.

This price is really not outrageous, but it is not too conscientious either.The specific bargaining still needs to be worked out step by step, and negotiations need to be carried out step by step.But overall, the whole operation was much smoother than when McDell was privatizing.Historically, when McDell was privatized, the shareholders shouted for a lower asking price one by one, and one after another called for a smaller premium, which affected their own interests.After all, although it was not a bull market at that time, Dell's stock price was still quite strong, unlike Sherlock Holmes, whose stock price had fallen to $23 a share.

If the purchase of stocks is based on a 30% premium to the asking price of the big institutions, the accounting firm helped to calculate, and in the end Jia Hongjian needs to pay a billion dollars to make the acquisition successful-of course, this is based on the current price. of.After all, it is only three or four months before the stock market crash begins. If the final acquisition is successful and the money is ready to be paid according to the market price, it is estimated that it will be settled at [-] to [-] million US dollars. It can still be done by borrowing some money... (to be continued...)
