Chapter 1434 (1/2)
When Lin Qingya met Tim Cook, Apple executives had set a floor price for apple.
Given that they can't rely on the stock market to reduce their holdings and cash out on a large scale, let alone solve the huge dilemma faced by the iPod business, and apple itself can't find any way to break through, it's a long night's dream. They have substantially lowered their quotations and reserve prices.
The offer is to sign an intention agreement in full accordance with the current market value. If Apple's market value is US $3 billion on the day of signing the intention agreement, Muye technology will pay the corresponding capital to Apple shareholders based on the market value.
The base price is the intention agreement signed according to 80% of the current market value, which is also the actual market value of 3 billion yuan. Muye technology only needs to pay according to the benchmark of 2.4 billion yuan.
Whether it's the offer or the transaction reserve price, Makino technology must complete the privatization of apple while acquiring the shares held by the major shareholders of apple. In other words, it has to help Apple solve the mess of shareholders.
Before Microsoft wanted to buy Mac OS and computer machine with 1.5 billion dollars, and then left the iPod business to apple to wipe their own ass, which means that after Apple shareholders get the 1.5 billion dollars, they have to take part of it to solve the iPod business.
When a listed company sells its major assets, the funds it obtains cannot be directly put into the pockets of these shareholders. If they want to end up in safety's pocket, they have to realize the privatization of the company. That is to give the current shareholders and investors a generally satisfactory account, which is equivalent to taking out another part of the 1.5 billion yuan to subsidize the shareholders. The last remaining money is not enough 。
If Muye technology can help Apple solve the problems of shareholders and complete the delisting of apple, these shareholders can also safely cash out.
Lin Qingya was ready to fight with Tim Cook, but unexpectedly, Tim Cook's offer on behalf of Apple was even lower than Li Mu expected.
Li Mu originally believed that the ideal price was to sign an agreement with Apple's shareholders at a price of about 120% of the market value, and then subsidize the shareholders at a price of about 150% of the market value, forcing apple to complete delisting, but he didn't expect that the price opened by the other party was even lower than his expected base price.
Li Mu failed to fully grasp the anxiety of Apple shareholders at present, and apple failed to fully control Li Mu's real intention to apple. One thought that the other might not want to buy, the other thought that the other might not want to sell, which resulted in such a real gap.
For apple, they really dare not scare Li Mu, a potential buyer, away. This is not the time for apple to be a miracle. Now Apple has become a mess where no one is willing to take over the plate. It is very rare for apple to meet an active inquiry. If they want to kill a big enemy again, they really want to kill themselves.
Apple's offer was unexpected for Lin Qingya, but she still gave full play to her professional quality. On behalf of Li Mu, she said to Tim Cook: Makino technology's desire to buy apple is not high. There are two main reasons why she intends to buy apple. One is that she is interested in putting apple on the basis of computer operating system and whole machine design and manufacturing , make a combination with Shenzhou, which is invested by Muye technology, to fight with Microsoft in the future; another is to further eliminate the competitors on the development road of mango me.
Lin Qingya even told Tim Cook that, according to Li Mu, if Makino technology finally bought apple, he would directly abolish the iPod product line, including but not limited to termination of R & D and production, termination of sales through various channels, and even destruction or dismantling of all iPod stocks.
In this way, Muye technology will bear all the costs of abolishing the iPod business. Now, it seems that the iPod business is on the verge of death. Muye technology can not abolish this business in person and let it die in Apple's hands, which is no different from Microsoft's current attitude.
After that, Lin Qingya said to Tim Cook: ”however, we always respect apple. He thinks that if certain preconditions are established, Muye technology can help apple to bear all the costs of the iPod business.”
Tim Cook nodded and asked her, ”I don't know what are the preconditions for General Lee?”
Lin Qingya said: ”the first prerequisite is that apple must ensure that more than 90% of its core team members stay in place for three years. That is to say, Apple's senior management, core position leaders and core position staff, including Mr. cook, must continue to work for apple after the acquisition of Muye Technology in the next three years. In order to increase the binding force, everyone must work with Muye technology If they want to leave in the next three years, they should pay at least three times of their contract salary as compensation, plus sign a three-year competition agreement. ”
The core team stayed for three years and withdrew from the triple compensation and three-year competition agreement in advance. This is the ”333” plan Li Mu made for the core team of apple.
