Chapter 1449 (1/2)
The purchase of Apple has been completed 60% before the money arrived.
Li Mu used mango-me2 and yytunes to uproot Apple's profits. He joined Andy Rubin to let Apple give up all resistance, and then he asked jobs to sign a competition agreement. After that, Apple was a piece of meat on the chopping board, waiting for him to sharpen his knife.
Now that the money has arrived, the knife has been sharpened, and the acquisition progress has been completed by 80%. The last obstacle is NASDAQ. After all, there is still a part of this meat in the hands of NASDAQ investors. The remaining problem is to liquidate NASDAQ investors.
If it is listed in Hong Kong, according to the way of Hong Kong privatization and the number of shareholders, even if Li Mu holds more than 66% of the shares, he may not be able to vote through privatization. Once the number of shareholders is not enough, privatization is difficult to succeed. However, there is no such ”people-oriented” operation mode in the U.S. stock market. As long as Li Mu gets the majority of shares, he can directly hold the majority of shareholders It will go through the process of privatization, and then force the liquidation of those shareholders who have outstanding shares.
In contrast, Li Mu prefers the simple and crude operation mode of the United States.
At the meeting, Li Mu immediately formulated the strategic process of purchasing apple and completing the privatization. He told Lin Qingya and Ding Jian: ”President Lin is responsible for following up Apple's general meeting of shareholders to complete the signing of the contract in the fastest time; President Ding, you cooperate with Louis, the shareholders of apple only sign, immediately take the agreement and money, and put forward the privatization application to NASDAQ.”
The two men nodded solemnly at once, and Louis Martin from Sequoia said: ”as long as Apple's shareholders sign and the equity transfer is completed, we will immediately hold a shareholders' meeting to vote on the issue of privatization. However, as long as Apple's shareholders sign on time, the shareholders' meeting is a process, and we will directly inform the NASDAQ shareholders' meeting As a result, we can apply for compulsory privatization by putting the funds used for privatization into the regulatory account of NASDAQ. The shareholders who hold the circulating shares have no room for refutation. Each stock agency will assist us to complete the follow-up stock buyback work. ”
”Very good!” Li Mu smiled and nodded, saying, ”since our money has arrived, let the Apple executives sign it as soon as possible.”
After that, Li Mu said to Li Ziwei, ”Ziwei, please inform cook now, let cook inform all the members of Apple's board of directors that they are ready to sign in the afternoon. After signing, we will immediately pay 50% of their purchase price, and the remaining 50%. I will also pay all of them in three months as agreed.”
Li Ziwei nodded and asked Li Mu, ”Mr. Li, would it be a bit hasty to sign in the afternoon?”
Li Mu said: ”it's better to bump into Japan than choose a day. Anyway, all the details have been discussed, the framework agreement has been signed, the actual transfer agreement has been drawn up, and our money has arrived. What else can we do?”? Well, you tell them that if they sign today, they will pay an extra 20% in addition to the 50% stipulated in the contract! ”
It is stipulated in the contract template that 50% of the purchase price shall be paid immediately after signing, and the remaining 50% shall be divided into three months. Li Mu can divide 50% into three months to pay a little, or pay all at one go on the same day, or all at the last day of three months. In short, within the scope of the contract, as long as he likes, he can do anything.
Therefore, Li Mucai decided to pay 70% of the purchase price to Apple as long as it signed today. They have been eager to cash out recently, and they will cash out 70% on the same day, which must be very attractive to them.
Li Ziwei immediately said, ”I'll contact cook now to let him communicate and reply as soon as possible.”
……
Recently, Apple has been in a special state of anxiety.
This uneasiness stems from their distrust of Li Mu. They are looking forward to Li Mu's purchase of apple, and they are worried that Li Mu will tear up the framework agreement anytime and anywhere, leaving Apple alone in the abyss.
The reason for such a mood is that Apple's stock price has fallen a little in the past two days. When we communicated the framework agreement with Li Mu, the stock price was 4.15, and at this moment, the stock price has fallen to 3.74.
The reason why the bottom is still falling slowly is that the mess left by the iPod business is constantly fermenting, like a box of broken fruit, which is just broken at first, and then begins to rot, moldy, stale and stinky water.
A large number of iPod users who want to return their products have not been effectively dealt with. The dealers have not yet paid back the prepayment to apple, nor received the funds from apple to deal with the returns. At this time, they dare not accept the refund application of users. Otherwise, the cost and risk are all double tied to themselves.
But users' demands are not solved effectively, which makes users' anger accumulate continuously. They constantly protest against apple and its dealers online and offline, which has brought serious negative impact on apple.
In addition, the dealers have begun to tear up with apple, and even some dealers have joined up to sue the court, which aggravates the current scandal of apple.At this time, the representative factory began to jump out again to join in the fun. They announced that apple still has a considerable amount of money not paid so far, which has brought huge financial pressure to the representative factory and left apple in a mess for a while.
