Chapter 161 Acquisition of Osborn
"Listen initiates an acquisition invitation, intending to privatize Osborne Group"
The next morning, a news caused quite a stir, but this was something that many people expected.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Si brought a group of people to the downstairs of Osborne Building in a fierce manner.
The first one was Lis himself, followed by PeberPotz, and then there were more than a dozen financial and legal counsel, all of whom were dressed as elites.
"Mr. Listen, please come inside."
A middle-aged white man, a small shareholder and one of Osborne management, greeted Li Si and others at the door with a smile on his face.
"Um."
Li Si's head gestured, and then led the group forward.
He has been in Osborne for quite some time, so he is naturally familiar with it, and he doesn't need this small shareholder to lead the way. He is familiar with it and walks upstairs.
"Is this Listin? I feel so young."
"Yes, he was my colleague before the cancellation of the interspecies genetics department, sitting not far from me."
"He seems to be only eighteen years old, he is so angry that he is so popular that he has become the largest shareholder of our group."
"What is the major shareholder? Maybe our Osborne Group will be renamed Listen Group in a few days."
"It's better to think about ourselves instead of worrying about this. I don't know if Listen will lay off employees after taking over. He is not very friendly to Osborne Group."
"No... He just wanted to take revenge on the Osborne family and those directors for his friends Max Dylan and Dr. Curt Connors. What does it have to do with us..."
Li Si and others walked along the way, attracting the attention and whispers of many people along the way. It was not until a group of people entered the elevator and the lowly comments around disappeared without a trace and the tranquility was restored.
bite!
After about a few minutes, the elevator door opened and a group of men came out in a row.
Not far from the elevator is the conference room, and the long conference table inside is full of directors and senior management, both sides of the interior.
After Li Si came in, he sat in the main seat at the end of the conference table, while Peberpoz and a series of personnel temporarily stood behind him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Storm, you don't look very good today."
After Li Si sat down, he greeted Mendelstom in the first position on his right with a smile.
Mendelstrom had a gloomy face and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Li Si no longer made things boring. He raised his hand and asked Peberpoz to direct people to deliver documents to everyone on the conference table, and then got to the point.
"I believe that my purpose is also very clear, so I won't talk nonsense. I am going to buy back all Osborne shares at a premium of 20%. Let's start the vote directly."
Li Si looked around, swept across everyone's faces, and then said in a deep voice.
Bang!
"Don't think about it!"
Mendelstrom, who had a gloomy face, finally couldn't help it, and slapped the table and stared at Li Si coldly.
After enduring for so many years, he survived Norman Osborne to death and successfully drove Harry Osborne, who was a young man, out of the group.
Originally, he was very proud of this period. Although Osborne's stock price plummeted, he finally successfully controlled the Osborne Group.
But all this was ruined by the young man in front of him.
It was the young man in front of him who was about the same age as Harry Osborne, but his years of forbearance had been wasted, and the duck that was in his mouth was taken away.
boom!
A louder sound of slapping the table than before, followed by a crackling sound.
"Mr. Storm, it seems that you are not only in a bad mood, but also in a bad health. You have no strength to slap the table."
Li Si stared at Mendelstom with a smile, and slowly retracted his right hand that he had slapped on the table.
The scene at the conference table in front of him made everyone present twitch.
A layer of glass spread on the conference table, four or five millimeters thick, was directly slapped into a large spider-web-like crack, and a large piece of the corner of the table was even cracked and fell to the ground.
A group of businessmen who usually rely on their mouths to make a living have never seen this attitude, and their faces changed a little.
"Sorry, I'm scared to you. I'm just demonstrating the correct table slap posture to Mr. Storm."
Li Si looked as if he had just realized his mistake, and smiled and found a clumsy excuse to explain: "I accidentally used too much force... Well, yes, I'm over force."
"It doesn't matter."
A group of directors echoed repeatedly, unable to say they were afraid, but their breathing became much more rapid.
Mendelstom's forehead gradually appeared with a cold sweat. Only then did he remember that the person in front of him was not a kind businessman, nor was it a young man like Harry Osborne who let him bully him.
Finally, he sat down again with a ugly face.
"Let's just get to the point, everyone starts to vote."
Li Si smiled on his face and looked at everyone quietly.
"I refuse."
Mendelstrom was the first to speak out. After saying that, he looked at the shareholders next to him.
He dared not do anything extreme, at least not when he was present, but it was obviously impossible to give up so easily.
Li Si naturally knew this and did not intend to use any force to threaten it. He just waited quietly for other shareholders who were hesitating to make a decision.
It is useless for Mendelstom to refuse alone. In addition, he now has 40% of Osborne shares in his hands, while Mendelstom has up to 15% of his hands. It is impossible to stop him without joining forces with other shareholders.
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
Under Mendelstrom's unbelievable gaze, several directors around him hesitated for a moment and then agreed in a deep voice.
With several people taking the lead, other directors nodded and made a series of consent.
"Thank you for your support and cooperation."
A smile appeared on Li Si's face.
This result was not beyond his expectations, and in fact it was already inevitable.
This large group of Osborne shareholders had long been screened by Norman Osborne, leaving behind investors who were eaten by him and just wanted to make money honestly.
Now Osborne's market value has shrunk by half. Even if Li Si gave up the acquisition, this half might not be able to maintain it. Naturally, these people cannot fight to the death on Osborne's ship, which is about to capsize. The acquisition at a premium of 20% is already a favorable condition beyond imagination.
Moreover, the top shareholders who are close to Mendelstom have been interviewed by Li Si before. As long as they agree to the acquisition, five percent of the Stark Group shares in Li Si will belong to them.
On one hand, there is Osborne with an uncertain prospect, on the other hand, there is a 20% acquisition at a premium and a 5% stake in Stark Group. All fools know how to choose.
Now Stark Group is at its peak with the rise of Iron Man. I don’t know how many people want to get in and get involved. Five percent of the shares are at least more than one billion, and with these five percent of the shares, they can at least enter Stark’s management. The implicit value is not comparable to that of just one hundred billion.
"Miss Potz, I'll leave you the next thing."
After signaling Peberpoz to take charge of what happened next, Li Si stood up with a breeze on his face.
Although the price was not small, he was in a good mood at this time.
He has no interest in Stark Group. Those shares are only some money left in his hands. It is definitely not a loss to be able to successfully privatize Osborne. These shares were bought for this. He doesn't want to have a group of thorns in his company.
Chapter completed!
