Chapter 1478 Undercurrent of the Finger Company

The more Meng Chang heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong behind this matter.

He did not interrupt, but continued to listen carefully.

Fan Xiaodong paused a little and said, "If the news that Dayak Group wants to sell the finger company is true, then the senior executives of the finger company must have their own considerations and plans."

"After hearing the rumor, I was observing the movements of senior executives of the finger company through various channels, and finally found some clues."

"There is a senior executive named Charles Kotick, who is different from a designer like Kretien. He was the co-founder of the company, not a designer, but the main funder. At the highest point, he had nearly 40% of the shares of the company, which was the real power figure in the company who really kept his word."

"Not only that, after Finger Company was acquired by Dayak Group, he was deeply trusted by Dayak Group. Without any suspense, he won over other co-founders and became the CEO of Finger Company."

"After Dayake Group bleed a lot, he gave Tengda a lot of money, forcibly delisted the finger company through a privatization offer, and gained full control, it was relisted after some twists and turns. In this process, Dayake Group generously gave Charles about 10% of the shares!"

"It can be seen that Charles is deeply trusted by the Dayak Group, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the real controller of the leading company."

Meng Chang nodded slightly, it was actually not difficult to understand.

Dayak Group went to great lengths to take back the shares from Tengda because they believed that Tengda was an enemy and a competitor. Keeping the shares and the operating rights of the national server in Tengda would cause huge harm to ioi, so they spared no expense to recover them.

The purpose of allocating some shares to senior executives of the finger companies is to motivate them, let them design ioi well and make more money.

Delisting is to gain complete control, while listing is to re-enter the capital market and gain more benefits.

Among the senior executives of the Finger Company, the people of Dayak Group value Charles the most. As for why... it may be because he grew into the shape that capital likes.

In this regard, senior executives who know how to operate capital are much more pleasing than those who only know how to design games stupidly.

Fan Xiaodong continued: "Then after I investigated it, I found that Charles seemed to be lobbying everywhere. He successfully convinced four investment institutions to jointly invest in the establishment of an investment company and registered in the Cayman Islands."

"In addition, he also established a fund management company with his own brother. From a structural perspective, this fund management company is the only partner of the investment company, that is, the actual manager of the funds."

Meng Chang quickly understood: "So... this new investment company established by four investment companies is actually controlled by this fund management company, which is controlled by Charles and his younger brother. As for the four investment companies jointly invested... they are actually just the fund owners behind it and are not involved in actual management."

Fan Xiaodong: "Yes! This matter is very interesting. Why did Charles go through a lot of trouble to establish this investment company? Since it is an investment company, you have to invest in something, right? What reason did he use to convince these four major investment companies to pay and become the funder?"

Meng Chang thought for a moment and said, "He... wants to force the palace? He wants to intercept the hushi!"

Fan Xiaodong nodded: "Yes! This is the only explanation!"

"Obviously, Dayak Group regards the finger company as a negative asset and wants to sell it, but Charles doesn't think so. After all, he is the co-founder of the finger company and a veteran in the game industry. No one knows the value of video games and the value of finger company better than him."

"Charles regards the sale of Dayak Group as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"He should have wanted to use other potential buyers to wait and see, and try his best to lower the value of the finger companies, so that Dayak Group is forced to sell it to himself at a relatively low price."

"Of course, I don't know how to do this. I guess, Charles should have fooled Dayak Group on the one hand and said that ioi is no longer possible. No one will offer more generous conditions than this. On the other hand, it is through other channels, such as some investment companies that have invested in Dayak Group projects, put pressure on Dayak Group."

"Although there is a consulting group assigned by Dayak Group within the Finger Company, responsible for analyzing possible potential buyers and the other party's bids, Charles is the CEO of the Finger Company after all, and can completely obstruct it in various ways, or even use the CEO's power to dissolve the consulting group."

"Since Charles has made up his mind to do this, he must be more sure."

Meng Chang pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Sure enough, only capital can defeat capital."

"It's not the only one who has accurately grasped the weaknesses of the Dayak Group."

"This Charles, on the surface, refers to the CEO of the leading company, working diligently for the Dayak Group, but once you encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will also show your fangs and want to turn over and become your master."

"The key is... he really has a great chance of success!"

"If he can really make good use of this opportunity and fool the Dayak Group through various methods, and find ways to create some negative news to lower the value of the finger company while trying to find ways to promote transactions, then he can really make a big profit."

"As CEO, he has a lot of power. As long as he accidentally leaks some negative news, the stock price of the finger company will continue to fall."

"But there are risks when he does this, so you must act quickly!"

"Dayak Group has privately contacted some buyers, but the negotiations were not good. This is because the intention to run away is too obvious. These buyers feel like buyers and are not optimistic about the prospects of the finger companies, so they are still waiting and watching. If they don't take action, Charles can buy back the shares from the Daayak Group at a low price. But if it drags on for a long time and wakes up other companies, they may snatch them up with Charles."

"Also, Charles's operation looks high-end and dazzling, but the more complex the operation, the bigger the problem, it will inevitably violate some detailed regulations and will definitely affect the interests of others, especially small shareholders. These people will not give up and will definitely sue Charles in court, hoping to suspend the transaction."

"Of course, there will be a strong lawyer team on Charles' side, and he will not lose the case easily, but he can't afford to delay it either. So, the most likely result is that they will settle out of court and Charles will lose money and avoid disasters. But no matter what, as long as this happens, it will inevitably be delayed for a long time."

"The only variable among them...is Mr. Pei!"

"That's why you came to ask me what Mr. Pei thinks about this matter?"

Fan Xiaodong was very happy. Talking to smart people was worry-free: "Yes, if Mr. Pei didn't take action, the final result would probably refer to the successful redeem of the company, but strictly speaking, it is not considered a redeem of the life. It should be said that Charles became the biggest winner."

"But if Mr. Pei takes action... it's hard to say. No one can guess what Mr. Pei will do."

Meng Chang said after thinking for a long time: "I think... Mr. Pei may buy the finger company."

"Since Charles thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wants to lower the value of the finger company, then it is also a very cost-effective deal for Mr. Pei."

"Although GOG is now invincible, ioi is still a very potential competitor after all, and it is still influential around the world."

"If you buy it, it means you have the entire MOBA game market in your own hands. At that time, if ioi makes money, Mr. Pei will not lose; if ioi is cold, it means that GOG will completely unify the world, and Mr. Pei will not lose!"

"I don't think Mr. Pei can't see this kind of thing."

"And, through the combination of GOG's fight to ioi, especially various activities during the Spring Festival, we can see that Mr. Pei has devoted a lot of effort to this matter. If you don't have a backup plan, I don't believe it."

Fan Xiaodong was also excited: "Yes, this is what I want to say!"

"If Mr. Pei takes action, what will happen? Charles has done a lot of preparations carefully. Just when he is about to take over at a low price, Tengda appears! Dayak Group is naturally overjoyed. They are going to sell it anyway. It won't be the same for whom? As long as the money is too much!"

"At that time, it will become a bidding between the two parties. Although Charles has a lot of money on hand, it is obviously incomparable to Tengda."

"Then... the shares of the finger company will experience a situation where they plummet first and then surge..."

“If we can buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest point, then we can make a profit even if we are not actually involved in this transaction.”

"But the only question now is whether Mr. Pei is going to take action? If Mr. Pei doesn't take action and the stock price cannot rise, then we will buy stocks in vain."

Meng Chang thought for a while: "Leave this matter to me. When I look back, I will go to Mr. Pei to report on his work, think of a way, pretend to mention this matter inadvertently, and see Mr. Pei's attitude."

Fan Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Be careful. Mr. Pei is so smart. If you see our intentions, you might backfire."

Meng Chang slapped his chest and replied with great confidence: "Don't worry! I have roughly figured out Mr. Pei's temper now, so there will be no problems."

Fan Xiaodong was very happy: "Okay, as long as we have the exact news, we will buy stocks of the finger company. This time we may not make as much money as before, but it will definitely be quite considerable!"

If there was no accurate news from Meng Chang, even if Fan Xiaodong saw this opportunity, he would never dare to take action.

The reason is very simple, the risk is too great!

If there is a slight mistake, it may turn from making a profit to losing money.

But if you can get confirmed news from Mr. Pei, it would be completely different!
