Chapter 321 The best time to acquire Marvel(1/2)
Liu Dacheng's phone call at this moment is crucial to Marvel.
However, this call also made Marvel's decision-makers fall into doubt.
EA Games has acquired a stake in its arch-rival DC. Why does it still want to take a share of it on its own side?
I just want to simply plan the IP of the anime characters, or have a bigger game of chess, but now everyone can't understand it?
Liu Dacheng's phone call only serves as a notification. As long as Marvel makes a decision, he will reply whether he agrees or not.
"Do you think they will sell us stocks?" Liu Dacheng felt that the deal would not be so easy to facilitate.
Although Marvel's stock is not circulating in the market, the number of shareholders Marvel's senior executives is still very clear.
Although it is not clear who is holding these stocks?
But how many shares of the entire company are divided into? This kind of data can still be found.
For major shareholders, under any circumstances, they must ensure their dominance over the company.
Not only that, we also have to calculate whether we can continue to control the company when the worst happens.
In general, you can know who is holding these stocks.
However, once the stocks are held on behalf of others, the real holders behind the scenes will become confusing.
Even if this batch of stocks is not in the hands of individuals, but in the hands of the company, the company's complex structure will make it impossible to find out who owns this batch of stocks.
Once someone buys company stocks in batches and holds them on behalf of others in different names, it is difficult to detect potential crises as major shareholders.
Once the other party holds more than the number of shares held by the controlling shareholders, the acquirer will immediately concentrate all the shares together.
Or directly initiate a board meeting and let the holders of these stocks vote directly to elect a new chairman of the board.
As Marvel's largest shareholder, there is a giant in other industries at this time. If you want to join the market, you will be able to join the market.
The best way to do this is to let other stock holders in the entire Marvel company sell their stocks.
Let others sell their stocks to this newcomer.
In this way, the company's overall equity structure remains unchanged and the introduction of strategic partners has been completed.
However, Lin Ping has purchased 35% of the stock, and those who are willing to sell the stock have already sold it.
At this time, once the major shareholder inquire about the following stock holdings, it is easy to find that a large number of stocks in the company have been replaced by the holders.
Although it is difficult to find out who holds the stock, it is easy to find out the transaction changes of the company's stock.
Any stock transaction requires personal income tax, and such transactions must be reported to the relevant departments for equity changes.
Lin Ping has now obtained these stocks and has completed the registration of equity changes.
As long as the major shareholder is careful and cautious, he will definitely evaluate the entry of the Industry Game Company in detail. It is even ruled out that in order to maintain his position, he chooses to refuse EA Game Company to join Marvel.
After all, the company is now in terms of equity structure, the major shareholders have the final say.
The major shareholder does not want his country to surrender, especially when he is attacked by someone, he suddenly loses the throne.
"I think they will, but the possibility is not high. If the major shareholder has a little brain, he will definitely put himself in the safest position.
Once you find someone acquires 35% of the company's stock, Marvel will only sell us 10%, or even 5%, at most.
If the major shareholder does not receive support from other small and medium shareholders, the number of controlling shares cannot reach 51%. We cannot even buy 5% of the shares.
In addition to formally launching an entry application with Marvel, we also need to continue to have close contact with other small and medium-sized investors. Even if the stocks in our hands are 0.01%, we are also interested. "Compared with DC, Lin Ping attaches more importance to Marvel's equity structure.
Marvel has proved to the world with facts that the success of Marvel Universe movies.
Lin Ping only needs to walk along this road.
And DC is not just a script issue that has caused the movie to never surpass the Marvel Universe.
DC's entire anime universe is relatively darker.
If you just watch anime or adapted TV series, this dark-facing style will attract young people more.
But once it is adapted into a movie and is aimed at audiences of all ages, the gap between DC and Marvel will appear.
Although there is a very dark side in the Marvel universe, at least they have successfully walked out of their own path. The DC universe is far away and there is no way out.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make your stock holdings exceed 40% within half a month. There were originally several stock holders who did not intend to sell, but after seeing the news published by DC this morning.
These stock holders actually said they could continue to negotiate, and they were worried that Marvel's valuation might drop. Fortunately, our offer is not bad now, and they don't want to miss this opportunity, so as not to regret it in the future." The news that suddenly broke out in DC was not all bad, everything had its two sides.
"When you contact these people, be careful. Buy them in the name of our previous company. You cannot associate them with EA Games in any case." Although Lin Ping felt that no matter how careful it was, it would be difficult to acquire Marvel directly on stocks. However, this kind of sudden opportunity is rare. If you grasp it well, it will save a lot of trouble.
It's like getting rich overnight. Whether you can succeed depends on whether the other party is cautious.
At this time, at Marvel, a board meeting had been held over the phone.
After all, it is a major event for the company. In addition, the major shareholder is unwilling to sell the stocks in his hands. He hopes to hold this board meeting so that those small shareholders who are willing to sell the stocks in his hands will choose to complete the transaction with Lin Ping.
At this time, Lin Ping already had 35% of the stocks in his hand, which means that those who attended the shareholders' meeting before would not be able to attend.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After receiving the news, Liu Dacheng immediately arranged for his extras to appear.
Strictly speaking, these people are all members of the management of the structure company he applied for.
After all, I want to perfectly deceive everyone and secretly acquire Marvel and DC stocks.
You can't just apply for a bag company, because such a company is too easy to be found.
To do a complete set of acting, every company that Liu Dacheng applied for has its own office location and personnel structure.
These companies are investment companies without exception and do not require too much personnel participation.
Renting dozens of square meters in a good office building can cover up your identity.
In addition, planning an overseas source for this fund, even if someone finds that the company is only a few dozen square meters, there will be no excessive suspicion.
After all, companies that have just come to New York from overseas to invest in, naturally they must invest one or two carefully, cross the river by feeling the stones, and only after having some experience can they make a big investment.
Now the management staff of these companies do not know the perfect deployment of the entire acquisition plan.
Everyone thinks they are just a subsidiary of a consortium from outside North America and located in New York.
At present, these subsidiaries want to invest in the animation industry, may be full of luck. After completing the investment, they discovered the news exposed in the media.
EA Games Company and DC have joined forces.
DC Animation, which was previously valued at only 1 billion US dollars, was given a valuation of between 1.3 billion and 1.5 billion in just one morning.
The stock transaction that the subsidiary just completed just now ushered in a perfect profit start.
This is a stunning report card for investment companies.
The management of several companies began to replace previous shareholders at Marvel's board meetings.
However, before attending the board meeting, Lin Ping asked Liu Dacheng to order these people that two of them would support the cooperation between Marvel and EA Games. The other two chose to oppose cooperation with EA Games.
The reason why Lin Ping ordered this was to confuse the major shareholder.
Just imagine, the shareholders who just changed their appearance all supported the entry of EA Games.
This will make the major shareholder feel cold, after all, these people have a combined 35% stake.
As the largest shareholder, the company's shares are only 40%.
The reason why it can reach 51% absolute holding is because there are other small and medium shareholders who have 100% trust in themselves and will choose to support them no matter what decision they make.
But once you know that EA Games has 35% of the shares, the threat to the major shareholder will be very, very huge.
Some of these people who attended the board meeting for the first time agreed and some opposed it.
It will definitely dispel the excessive association between major shareholders and EA game companies.
As long as other shareholders choose to sell their stocks at the board meeting, as long as their EA game company is allowed to join Marvel, even if they have 5% of the stocks, Lin Ping's holding rate will reach 40%.
In the future, even if he breaks up with the major shareholder, Lin Ping will try his best to get the company listed.
As long as the company starts to go public and circulate, Lin Ping believes that the company will change hands in no time.
But when things got to this point, the money spent on a complete acquisition was much greater than the stocks acquired at today's board meeting.
At 3 pm that day, just when Lin Pingmu Yanfei had just arrived at the Consumer Electronics Exhibition to prepare and start to decorate her EA game company venue.
Marvel's board meeting was officially held.
"Today, we have two purposes to call everyone here for a meeting. The first purpose is to hear that there were bulk transactions in the company's stocks. It just so happened that through this board meeting, we would like to get to know each other.
On behalf of Marvel and other directors, we welcome you to join us. Soon we will send all the relevant information on Marvel over the years for everyone to quickly get familiar with all Marvel's business.
Second, we are summoning everyone today to deal with DC's plan to introduce EA game companies to make a gamified market layout.
Just this morning, when this news was in full swing, we also received a call from EA Games that wanted to invest in our Marvel.
EA Games Company proposed that it hopes to invest 20% of the stock and intends to negotiate with us about the gamified layout of all superheroes." Marvel's CEO made a simple opening.
Almost everyone present has invested in several companies, but the companies are large or small. There are boards like this that have one or two events almost every week.
Don’t care who the board members have changed? The only thing you care about is the new people, what kind of capital is behind them?
If it is an individual investment, then everyone has no interest at all.
If a large consortium makes investments, this will reevaluate the value of the stocks in hand for other investors.
