Chapter 563: Greedy Fox
"Haha... Mr. Trillion Dollar! Steve Forbes really dares to brag!"
Bang!
A crisp sound of metal collision.
On a long rectangular conference table, an obese middle-aged white man threw the Apple iPad in his hand on the conference table and said coldly.
If you switch your eyes to the iPad he threw on the desk, you can see the picture displayed on the tablet. It is the latest article about personal net worth valuation published by Forbes Magazine's president and CEO.
After sarcasticizing, this fat middle-aged white man fell in love with everyone around the rectangular conference table.
Most of them are well-dressed and wearing suits. They look like successful people in the upper class. If there is a movie like "Upper East Side Celebrity", they don't even need to put on makeup or change clothes, because in this regard they are the true performances.
Because sitting around this rectangular conference table is the shareholders of 21st Century Fox in New York and some senior executives.
This obese middle-aged white man who spoke out is a major shareholder among many shareholders in the 21st century, owning 4.59% of the shares of 21st Century Fox. He is one of the largest individual shareholders. Excluding institutions with more shares, he is one of the people who can have the greatest voice in such board meetings.
His name is Andy - well, not Andy Smith. Although the grandson of the respected Donkey Whip is also a fat man, he is Andy Smith. Although the fat man is also called Andy, his full name is Andy Johnson.
The name Andy.
It can be men or women, and it is very popular in the United States and the Kingdom of Britain.
And this Andy is now mocking the news on Forbes. Because Forbes said that the guy who is preparing to acquire 21st Century Fox, which is closely related to their interests, actually has a net worth of 500 billion US dollars!
To be honest! Although this is the news of Forbes, which is very authoritative in this regard, a rich man with a net worth of 500 billion US dollars is so young and has risen so short. This is really incredible!
In the top 10 of Forbes' rankings, except for Pony, who is not over fifty years old? The only two richest men and second richest men with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars are about 10 times older than Abel.
Now Forbes says that Abel has a net worth of about 500 billion US dollars. Some people believe it, but more people don’t believe it. Just like Andy Johnson now, he just doesn’t believe it.
He faced all the senior executives of 21st Century Fox and some of the shareholders of 21st Century Fox at this emergency shareholders and management conference.
He said loudly with a sensation: "Everyone. Now Mr. Trillion Dollar wants to take our 21st Century Fox from Disney. I think everyone has no objection, because we want to sell it, and this Mr. Trillion Dollar wants to buy it. This is really a great thing! I believe everyone has no objection to this point, right???"
All management and shareholders have no objection to this. If they don't want to sell 21st Century Fox, they will not agree to Disney's acquisition negotiations for them at the beginning.
The timetable for the 21st Century Fox to be sold from them is just a matter of price.
Everyone agrees with this.
"Who is it not to sell it? It's the same for selling it to Disney, and it's the same for selling it to Abel Sefrosa!"
"As long as you can get the money and sell it to anyone, I have had enough. The stock has been falling for three consecutive years, and now I have encountered this stock market crash again. It's so unlucky."
"The key is the price. As long as the other party's bid is higher than Disney, it's not bad to sell it to him?"
"Agree. I think so too."
“…”
After a soft discussion, Andy Johnson was proud and looked at Peter Rice who was excited, and waved to Peter Rice who was sitting at the bottom of the rectangular conference table: "Dear Peter, please bring us good news. Although Steve Forbes had told the whole world half an hour ago, we still want to get the news we want from you."
The other shareholders also looked at the company's president, Peter Les.
Peter Rice took a deep breath.
He tried to calm himself down. After all, no matter who the boss of 21st Century Fox is or how he has been in 21st Century Fox for so many years, his position as executive president of 21st Century Fox will not be shaken in the short term.
"80 billion US dollars. Cash."
He told the shareholders in a simple manner that he had told the shareholders two hours ago.
Even the information disclosed about the acquisition of 21st Century Fox for 80 billion US dollars was the shareholders who signaled him to leak it to the bosses and editors of the many media.
The reason for this is simple.
It has sparked media opinions and let the world see that the 21st Century Fox is so popular. It has increased the difficulty of Disney and Abel Seifrosa in competing for the 21st Century Fox so that shareholders can sell the 21st Century Fox at a better price.
A simple way to ask about the clam fight and the fisherman's profitability. Anyone who is a little smarter can see that although it is simple, it is very useful to use it now.
Because many shareholders of 21st Century Fox believe that whether it is Disney or Abel Seifrosa, they have a determination to win for 21st Century Fox.
Even if not, there is no loss.
At worst, it’s better to follow the original procedures and honestly negotiate with Disney. I believe that Disney will not give up 21st Century Fox easily while thinking about unifying the media industry.
After Peter Rice spoke out the price, he asked the shareholders:
"Mr. Sefrosa is waiting for my news. Gentlemen, are we going to start voting? If we are willing to start voting, I think we should immediately convene a general meeting of shareholders to vote."
His words made some shareholders a little moved. After all, the 80 billion US dollars had long exceeded the shareholders' psychological price. Moreover, it was precious cash.
Some shareholders hesitate to raise their hands.
Andy Johnson showed a greedy smile at this time, and when some shareholders even shouted for agreement, he shouted:
"Why don't we make more money? 80 billion US dollars? Since this gentleman has the net worth of 500 billion US dollars, he should be willing to give us 20 billion US dollars! Why don't we sell it for 100 billion US dollars?"
"100 billion US dollars!"
