Fan Qi was deeply fond of a powerful figure from a Hong Kong novel—a man whose turbulent early life had shaped him into someone irresistibly charismatic.
But admiration was one thing. Fan Q...
"No, no! It tastes pretty good."
“Isn’t it bitter?”
"It's a little bitter, but not as bitter as coffee." Fan Qi smacked his lips, "It has a slight aftertaste."
"Your taste is really unique." When Chen Zhiqian was stewing the soup, he tasted it and found it had a strong medicinal flavor. He was worried that she might not want to eat it because of her picky taste.
"It's obviously you who are too picky about food." Fan Qi thinks he has a stomach that can accommodate flavors from all over the world.
She actually said that others were picky eaters? Chen Zhiqian stopped arguing with her and drove out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic.
"I've calculated. If you really want to acquire the company, there are several options. One is to buy it directly on the market. If you acquire about 20% of the shares, the stock will definitely rise, no matter how good the control technology is. Another option is a cash tender offer, which is the same method used by Liu Xiangnian to acquire Aile Electronics. The advantage is that Yihe Commercial Bank itself has a good foundation and is not like Aile Electronics, which relies entirely on concepts. Unfavorable news will not have a devastating impact on Yihe..." Fan Qi explained several acquisition methods to Chen Zhiqian in detail, and mentioned the cost of funds. "But there is a problem. A person's energy is limited. Even with Rongyuan's financial support, after you acquire the company, will you still run a trading company? The video game consoles you mentioned before are not your main business. Why are you still selling them? Don't stretch the battle line too long."
"Of course Tianyao won't do that."
"Then why do you want me to make this plan?"
"Do you remember that Boss Fu said he was short of an operations talent?" Chen Zhiqian stopped at the traffic light, his slender fingers tapping the steering wheel rhythmically, "What if Zhou Yalan went to Boss Fu's place?"
Fan Qi thought about it carefully and guessed his intention: "The Fu family acquired Yihe, Children's World and Toy World merged, and Zhou Yalan operated it? Isn't this Jincheng Group buying firecrackers for others to set off, or for the ex-wife of a competitor? Is Boss Fu willing?"
"Of course not. It's just to create the illusion that the Fu family intends to acquire Yihe, so that Zhou Yalan can enter Boss Fu's toy world. Then Jincheng continues to buy Yihe's stocks, making Lin Yihe think that Jincheng wants to acquire his company." The green light came, and Chen Zhiqian drove, saying, "The stock market has been in adjustment since mid-1986. If Jincheng makes acquisitions in the market, it will take about two to three months to acquire 10% of Yihe's low-priced stocks, and then use a small amount of stocks to gradually increase the stock price. By then, the stock price will continue to rise, and with Zhou Yalan's 11%, it will have already exceeded Lin Yihe's total equity. Jincheng proposed an active takeover offer, looking ambitious to take over Yihe. At this time, Boss Lin can either borrow money to buy Yihe's shares or hand over Yihe Commercial Bank. What do you think Boss Lin will choose?"
"You're not going to give it up, are you?"
"Yes. He will buy it at a high price. However, Yihe Commercial Bank has a high debt ratio and it is easy to have cash flow problems. The stock market rises and falls. When the stock market falls sharply, Lin Yihe will use the same trick again. Will he be able to fight back at that time? The Fu family will be able to easily take over Children's World."
Arriving at Yunyue Restaurant, the two got out of the car. Chen Zhiqian continued to explain to Fan Qi, "M&A for large companies is common. Many brands of Jincheng Group were acquired through mergers and acquisitions. Boss Fu is very experienced in this area. If Toy World does not improve, then selling it will be its only fate. In fact, under the current conditions of Gangcheng, which has brought together the right time, right place and right people, their vision should not be limited to just toy supermarkets and trade, but should benchmark against several major toy companies in the world. Ms. Zhou is also a veteran in this industry. Jincheng just happens to be short of someone who can run this business. It is easy for Boss Fu to choose between eventually selling this business and letting it flourish."
"That's true." As expected, the boss is the boss. He had already connected everything together and sorted out his thoughts. Fan Qi nodded.
"Also, hasn't Mr. Liao always been worried about developing big clients? If he can show his strength in sniping Yihe, at least the Fu family will cooperate with him in the future."
This is a situation where all parties benefit, but they put Yihe on the chopping block.
