Morgan obviously didn't expect that Fang Lang was looking for him to take revenge on Ridgefield.
After thinking for a while he asked:
"If my understanding is correct, you want to acquire Ridgefield Oil Company, right?"
He was a financier after all. After hearing Fang Lang's revenge plan, the first thought in his mind was business.
The powerful Global Group launched a takeover war because its boss wanted to retaliate against an oil company that was at risk of delisting.
How can this be revenge?
This is obviously a backdoor listing!
When Fang Lang heard Morgan's words, he still didn't understand what Morgan meant!
He smiled and said:
"You can understand it this way."
"What are you going to do after acquiring this company?"
Fang Lang understood what Morgan meant by asking, so he could only pretend to be stupid and said:
"Let Richfield live on the streets penniless!"
Morgan didn't quite believe that an entrepreneur like Fang Lang would launch an acquisition for his own personal grudges.
After all, it is not easy to kill a person, so why go to such trouble to target his company?
"I mean, what are you going to do with this company?"
It seems that successful people are not simple!
The reason why Fang Lang approached Morgan was because others were experts in this kind of thing.
If you form a team yourself to do this, it will be too late.
It’s not that it’s impossible to acquire companies after they’ve been delisted, but when operating in the capital market, you can reduce your own capital expenditures by manipulating stock prices.
It’s fun to use other people’s money to complete the acquisition!
Seeing Morgan directly ask the key point, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe it will go public through a backdoor listing, or maybe it will continue to operate the company's original exploration business."
"Fang, we are friends. I will help you with this. The handling fee is 10%. No matter what you plan to do with this company in the future, Morgan Group will take 10% of the shares."
Seeing that Fang Lang was unwilling to tell the company's future plans, Morgan did not hesitate and directly made his request.
This means that no matter what you say, I can't do it for you, but if you have money, you can't leave me behind.
"So Bell Labs, how many shares can you sell?"
Fang Lang would not let Morgan lead him around. Just now, Morgan was talking about the inconclusiveness of the board of directors, but Fang Lang directly brought it up again.
The meaning is obvious, we can play together, but for the advantage you take here, you have to compensate me in other places.
Morgan smiled bitterly, but did not deny it anymore.
"Fifteen percent in exchange for 30% of Global Shipbuilding's shares."
"It's impossible, everyone will still exchange shares based on market value."
"How is it possible? Bell Labs only makes money from patent fees. How can it calculate its market value?"
The two soon began haggling over the phone over the stock exchange.
In fact, Fang Lang really didn't like this. These matters should be handled by the company's professional team.
However, now that he had started the topic, he couldn't just give up.
In the end, the two reached an agreement, and both parties exchanged in equal proportions.
According to the ratio of 15% to 15% of the other party's shares.
Both said they had suffered a big loss and felt that they had made a profit, but in fact who lost and who made the profit will have to be proven by time.
"Now that it's settled, how long will it take for Ridgefield Company to get it done?"
Hearing Fang Lang's helpless tone, Morgan smiled and said:
"Of course within a week! Don't worry! Morgan is professional in this kind of thing."
Ridgefield Company said that it also had a small oil field producing oil in Texas. Although after so many years of troubles, shareholders lost confidence.
The stock price hit rock bottom, but
The assets still exist. According to Morgan's valuation, the current market value of Ridgefield Company is at least over 30 million US dollars.
Fang Lang's request was to acquire 60% of the company's shares for 10 million.
Don't think this is fanciful, the capital market is so magical.
With the strength of the Morgan family, this business could net a net profit of more than 20 million US dollars.
Now that there is a risk of delisting, if bad news is spread, the stock price will be further depressed.
Acquire funds at low prices, let Richfield pay to stabilize the stock price, and lock Richfield in.
If the operation continues to lower the stock price, Ridgefield will be dragged to death.
Directly financed the acquisition of Richfield's shares and kicked him out of the company.
It is estimated that after Ridgefield sells his shares, he will only be able to repay the loan.
If they directly acquire the shares of major shareholders off-site, who can refuse the Morgan family in the financial market?
Wait until you have enough shares in your hands to spread the word.
Universal Group wants to acquire Ridgefield Company and go public through a backdoor listing.
The stock price will definitely skyrocket.
Then the company changed hands and Morgan cashed out and left, perfect!
Of course, this is speculation, and the specific operation methods still depend on professionals.
Our target, Mr. Richfield, is still in the hospital and has not been discharged.
After all, cracked balls cannot be recovered overnight.
"Richard, have you found out the information about the yellow-skinned monkey? I must want him dead, absolutely!"
Ridgefield roared loudly at an elderly white man with some gray hair.
The gray-haired elderly white man seemed much calmer. He pressed his hand on Ridgefield's shoulder and said:
"Litchfield, you have to calm down. Even if you want revenge, you have to let your body recover first, and then you can catch him in front of you and torture him to death, right?"
"No, I can't bear it anymore. I'm going to find someone now and catch that bastard in front of my bed. I'm going to kill him with my own hands."
For a man, there are only two balls in total. If he loses one, he may lose the capital to continue being a man.
Such injuries are unacceptable to Richfield.
After all, physical pain is still a small matter, but mental pain is a big deal.
Now everyone knows that he is a lonely (egg) person.
How can we continue the family lineage in the future?
Continuing the family line is a thing of the past, and what Ridgefield is most worried about now is whether his younger brother will be able to stand up in the future.
If his brother lost the ability to fight due to muscle weakness, Litchfield felt that he might as well die.
"Litchfield, I have found out the identity of this man. It is very difficult. I think we'd better think long term. We must find a way to hit it with one hit, otherwise we may not have the chance to launch a second attack."
The white-haired old man was obviously the one who found some information.
"I don't care who he is, I want his life. Isn't it easy to find a killer now? He has more than ten bodyguards, so I will find thirty gunmen. I don't believe he can escape."
Indeed, as Richfield said, it is very easy to find someone who pays to kill someone.
Many retired American soldiers have not found suitable jobs. For soldiers who regard killing as their job, it is not a big deal if someone pays to kill a foreigner.
"According to what I learned from the police station, this man is a Chinese-Brazilian and has a very large industry in the United States.
The container system that the newspapers were bragging about a few days ago is his industry. The company name is Universal Group.
These are only at the capital level. I have also heard from some friends that this person has great power in the United States.
Finally, there is one unconfirmed news. "
When the white-haired old man said this, his voice slowly lowered.
Come down.
Seeing the worried look in the white-haired old man's eyes, Ridgefield said indifferently:
"Just say whatever you have to say, can he still be the son of God? A Brazilian Chinese, what is there to worry about?
This is me, Americ, and I won’t even turn over a wave if I kill him. "
"It is said that he is not actually a simple businessman, but his true identity is a Brazilian naval colonel.
And the people who protected him in the bar last time were not his bodyguards, but his soldiers. "
After all, he is the CEO of a listed company. In a capitalist society, money can indeed sell many things, and of course information can also be sold.
After hearing what the white-haired old man said, Ridgefield was stunned and said in disbelief:
"are you serious?"
Seeing the white-haired old man smiling bitterly and nodding.
Ridgefield was quiet for a moment, and suddenly said even more crazily:
"Whatever, he is a Brazilian soldier, not America's soldier. Even if he is America's soldier, I will kill him without fail. Even God can't stop me."
Crazy Richfield obviously scared the white-haired old man. After all, not everyone is willing to accompany a madman to go crazy.
"You'd better calm down, Richfield. Now our company has become precarious, and if it goes wrong, it may lead to bankruptcy and liquidation.
If you want to launch an attack on such a person at this time, we may usher in an FBI investigation.
Once word gets out, our company may never stand a chance again.
This is your father’s lifelong effort! "
"I don't care, I just want him to die. Richard, help me contact people right away. I don't want to wait any longer."
But the white-haired old man named Richard stood up, shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ridgefield. I'm just the security captain of the exploration team. I'm not the killer leader, so I'm sorry that I can't help you."
"What? Richard, you dare to refuse my order. Don't you want to do it anymore?"
Ridgefield obviously did not expect that his father's loyal subordinates would refuse to carry out his orders just after his father's death.
He didn't even think about it. He just worked a job to support his family.
You ask someone to risk your life and wealth to avenge you, how shameless do you have to be!
If it is an armed group such as gangsters, everyone is risking their lives. If someone gives a high bounty, some people may be willing to take risks for the money.
But the other person is just a security captain for an oil exploration company. If you ask him to assassinate a colonel from another country for your personal vendetta, I will only agree if he is someone with some tricks up his sleeve!
Today's Americans have not officially become the world's policemen, and ordinary people have not yet developed a character that is not afraid of anything.
In later generations, the CIA, which often carried out national subversive actions and assassinated political leaders of other countries, had not yet been formally established at this time.
The U.S. Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor of the CIA, was disbanded by President Adu after the war.
It became a central intelligence group responsible for coordinating and verifying intelligence information.
During this period, the United States had just become the leader of the capitalist world, and its prestige and confidence were still slowly being developed.
