Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Peter, this risk can be avoided."

"We now have to use our funds carefully, so we can increase capital and exchange shares for mergers and acquisitions."

Gani Agnelli blew out smoke rings and said with a smile on his lips.

This method of mergers and acquisitions can be seen from the literal meaning.

The acquiring company uses new shares to replace the target company's shares to achieve the purpose of acquisition.

This method of mergers and acquisitions has obvious advantages. It does not require the payment of a large amount of cash, so the company's working capital will not be squeezed, effectively reducing the financial pressure of the acquiring company, and of course, there is no need for shareholder capital injection.

This method of mergers and acquisitions is very suitable for mergers and acquisitions between giants.

But there are also disadvantages.

The most direct is that the newly issued shares have changed the ownership structure of the acquired party Crude Oil, resulting in the "dilution" of shareholders' rights and interests, which may cause the original shareholders to lose control of the company.

Therefore, Peter Wallenberg raised questions: "Even if the strength of these institutions has been damaged and their market value has declined, they are top institutions after all. Mergers and acquisitions in this way will have a huge impact on our original companies."

"Our original company is still in good condition. Don't let the enemy directly enter our company after the merger. That would be troublesome!"

At this time.

Jacob Lochier retorted in time: "Peter, your considerations do make sense, but I don't think you would make such an irrational choice."

"The Wallenberg family has many assets and should be able to select companies suitable as the subject of mergers and acquisitions."

"and."

"We should all have the ability to make internal asset adjustments to avoid this risk."

Several others nodded slightly in agreement.

Peter Wallenberg frowned and hesitated for a moment before giving up and continuing to argue.

"Okay, Jacob, you're right."

After convincing Peter Wallenberg, Jacob Rothier looked at the others. Seeing that no one had any other opinions, he smiled and said: "Then, let's discuss a specific implementation plan."

"After all, there are more than twenty institutions affected..."

…

In fact.

The failure of the attack on Xiangjiang had an increasingly serious impact on many European financial institutions as time went by.

After successively experiencing the dividend distribution and fund-raising of Bright Fund, and the core executives of S.G. Warburg Company exposing themselves, investors from these institutions have been losing money.

While trying their best to reduce capital losses and stabilize investors, they also have to face hostile takeovers and attacks from enemies. The managers of these institutions are extremely busy every day.

That afternoon, Steve Calvin had just finished a high-level meeting when he received a call from Jacob Lochier. After a conversation, he dragged himself exhausted and hurriedly drove to Lochier in the suburbs of London. Family castle.

Half an hour later, Steve Calvin met Jacob Lochier.

"Mr. Jacob, what method are you talking about?"

Before he sat down, Steve Calvin asked urgently, his eyes fixed on Jacob Losier.

In the past twenty days, he had not slept well and often woke up in the middle of the night.

The tremendous pressure caused his almost white hair to lose a single strand of gold, the wrinkles on his face doubled, and his facial muscles seemed to have lost their elasticity.

This look was completely different from that of more than a month ago, which made Evelyn Rocher on the side unable to help but remain silent.

"Mr. Steve, sit down and talk."

After Jacob Lochier asked him to sit down, he asked succinctly: "Mr. Steve, Cerberus Capital is now facing a hostile takeover from Morgan Stanley. Do you know that they have now acquired How much equity have you acquired?”

Steve Calvin was silent for a long time, shook his head and said: "I have already asked people to investigate, but it is difficult to find the results."

"But I just had a phone call with all the major shareholders this morning. If they didn't deceive me, then Morgan Stanley's successful acquisition of the shares should not exceed 15%."

Jacob Rothier nodded slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "But as far as I know, there are already many major shareholders who have not explicitly rejected Morgan Stanley."

Steve Calvin's face darkened, and he felt angry and helpless. He said in a low tone: "Maybe."

Cerberus Capital was established by his father and partners, and was later passed to him. Now the Calvin family only holds 21.47% of the company's shares.

This shareholding ratio is actually relatively high among financial companies.

With the prestige of the Calvin family, they can also gain support from other shareholders and achieve control of Cerberus Capital.

But facing the overlord of Morgan Stanley, it's a different story.

What's more, the company had just experienced a tragic failure under his leadership.

"Mr. Jacob, please state your thoughts directly." Steve Calvin, who was in a terrible mood, did not want to talk about these useless things anymore. He looked directly at Jacob Losier and said in a deep voice.

Jacob Rothier said slowly: "We are willing to be white knights."

Steve Calvin's expression changed drastically, his brows furrowed, and he stared at Jacob Lochier, anger rising in his heart.

"You also want to annex Cerberus Capital!"

When he received a call from Jacob Lochier, he had a lot of expectations in his heart. On the way there, he kept guessing about how the Lochier family might help him.

Unexpectedly, this "help" turned out to be an acquisition!

What a laugh!

Seeing Steve Calvin's anger, Jacob Lochier's expression became solemn and he said seriously: "Mr. Steve, we are different from Morgan Stanley!"

Steve Calvin sneered: "What's the difference?"

"Are the prices different?"

"Or will you still let me run the company after the acquisition?"

After saying that, he leaned on the sofa and looked at Jacob Rocher, trying to see what kind of reasons he could give.

Jacob Lochier looked at him sincerely: "Are you willing to take a sum of money and leave the company that you and your father paid for?"

Steve Calvin did not speak, but his mood calmed down. He heard something strange in Jacob Lochier's words, and he was willing to continue listening.

"Morgan Stanley has acquired Cerberus Capital and will definitely find a way to remove the traces of your Calvin family, otherwise John Chris Morgan will not rest assured."

"So if they really succeed in a hostile takeover, you have only two options, either take a sum of money and leave, or you will hold a sum of equity and be drained bit by bit."

"But we are different. I will not use money to humiliate you."

"As long as you accept our acquisition, the equity in your hands will become more valuable and your influence will only be stronger."

"because!"

"You can choose to exchange shares, and what you get in exchange is the equity of Rothschild Investment Bank!"

As soon as Jacob Rocher finished speaking, Steven Calvin immediately sat up straight with an unbelievable look on his face.
