The Crisis of Lucent (2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??

    Yi Xiaohai has never found that he is so popular.

    First, I received a call from Lewis, chairman of Hongsheng, saying that Hongsheng would cooperate with the sale of Lucent shares.

    ¡°Then Miranda calls, and the Dudamel family will cooperate with him.

    Hongsheng's relationship with him has eased, and they will definitely be happy to show his kindness and also attack Damo.

    Miranda and he were once comrades-in-arms, and they were disgusted with the financial giants in the United States, so it was normal for them to take action.

    But Fei Xiaosong sent him news,

    Miller Investments was also selling, which puzzled him.

    But there is an even more ruthless guy, George.

    Quantum Fund's short position on Lucent will undoubtedly make Lucent's stock price worse.

    Mike cursed in the office for an hour and called the head of the securities department and the financial director in.

    "How is the situation now?"

    "The previous selling was too severe, and the market followed the trend seriously. It has dropped to 42 yuan, and we can't hold on any longer."

    "How much money does the company have on its books?"

    He looked at the treasurer.

    "There are 110 million more."

    "How much more money can be mobilized?"

    "Before the market opens tomorrow, we should be able to mobilize 500 million"

    The timing of Yi Xiaohai's attack was carefully chosen.

    Lucent has loaned RMB 700 million to other companies to purchase their equipment, and its own company does not have much liquidity.

    One hit kill.

    Lucent has retained about 400 million in cash, which is enough in their opinion.

    Because they would never believe that someone was targeting Lucent, who knew it would actually happen.

    At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in:

    "Chairman, the media are all asking about capital trends"

    "Tell them something they don't have."

    The heads of the public relations department grimaced:

    "Chairman, after Hantang and Xinghan raised questions, we have responded positively, but they have produced stronger evidence and have even hired a team of lawyers"

    The public relations department has a similar crisis public relations process, and they respond very quickly, but Yi Xiaohai is too cruel.

    Directly throwing out evidence and demanding a thorough investigation as a shareholder is undoubtedly huge negative news.

    Unless Lucent responds positively, it will really go through the prosecution process, which is no joke.

    "Maybe, Lucent will be severely fined, and in serious cases it may be reshuffled.

    Mike was furious, but he held it back:

    "Announce to the media that I will hold a press conference in person tomorrow to explain this matter."

    "yes¡­¡­"

    The head of the public relations department went out, and Mike looked at the head of the securities department:

    "Today, I must nail the price to above 41 yuan, otherwise you will leave directly!"

    The person in charge of the public relations department smiled bitterly, but still accepted the task.

    Finally, he looked at the financial manager:

    "You are responsible for mobilizing funds, the more the better, I will ask Morgan Stanley for help"

    Mike just needs money now.

    "Chairman"

    The head of the securities department suddenly looked at Mike and had something to say.

    "Just say what you have to say."

    "I'm worried that Hantang wants to acquire Lucent. Do we need to launch a poison pill plan?"

    Mike was obviously stunned for a moment, but he shook his head:

    "Ignore it for now, just go do your thing."

    The poison pill plan is to raise the price of the active acquirer, rather than actually hindering the completion of the transaction.

    In the 1980s, the U.S. economy underwent major changes. Companies changed hands at a high rate and company equity control changed significantly, so the poison pill plan was widely adopted.

    But now,

    Corporate governance is receiving more and more attention, and poison pill plans will give the outside world the impression of layers of protection, which is not conducive to the free flow of external capital.

    Corporate governance assessment agencies also give lower ratings to companies with poison pill plans, and investors are reluctant to see boards of directors erect an artificial roadblock.

    The foundation of Lucent is still in the operation of financial markets.

    The board of directors has prepared to cancel the poison pill plan. If it is used now, even if Yi Xiaohai is stopped, it will make the market doubt Lucent's strength. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to revive the stock.

    So Mike will definitely not use the poison pill plan,

    ??Even if he wanted to use it, he probably wouldn't be able to pass the board resolution.

    His best way now is to seek help from Morgan Stanley to stabilize the stock price and wait for Friday.

    As long as Damo's side becomes a foregone conclusion, he can negotiate peace with Yi Xiaohai.

    Mike actually thought about calling Yi Xiaohai now, but he held back.

    He has already betrayed his trust once, and if he double-deals again this time, his reputation will be completely ruined.

    And Yi Xiaohai may not necessarily accept his reconciliation because he has no leverage now.

    ¡­¡­

    Morgan Stanley has already paid attention to Lucent's matter, and Pucher announced the convening of an interim board of directors.

    A rescue plan was finally formed.

    Morgan Stanley invested US$700 million to acquire Lucent shares from the market, and at the same time dismantled US$500 million to Lucent to stabilize the stock price.

    Although the board of directors passed the resolution, many shareholders were dissatisfied because of this incident.

    Because Pucher and Mike wanted to deal with Yi Xiaohai, which directly led to Yi Xiaohai's revenge.

    Now we have to use Morgan Stanley¡¯s money to help Lucent, which is equivalent to everyone paying for them.

    They didn¡¯t say anything, but their expressions revealed their thoughts.

    Wang Xiaojian and Wu Chao, who had already rushed to the United States and joined the interim board of directors, saw everything.

    ¡­¡­

    "Chaozi, we haven't even started yet, but everything seems to be going smoothly"

    After the meeting, Wang Xiaojian and Wu Chao went to his director's office together.

    After closing the door, he smiled.

    Wu Chao also laughed:

    "Xiao Hai was so ruthless, and Morgan Stanley took out 1.2 billion at once. It's strange that those shareholders are happy!"

    "Don't tell me, this kid usually looks smiling, but he is really merciless when it comes to critical moments."

    "Not only is he merciless, but he is ruthless and cruel, and he doesn't even let himself go."

    Wu Chao was a little teasing.

    Yi Xiaohai is a shareholder of Morgan Stanley and a shareholder of Lucent.

    " Suppressing Lucent's stock price is actually hitting himself, which is indeed a bit of a tiger.

    "Didn't he say, don't force him? He even beat himself up when he got angry. I thought it was a joke, but after doing it for a long time, he actually beat himself up, hahaha"

    The two people teased Yi Xiaohai for a while, and it was obvious that they were very relaxed.

    ??Yi Xiaohai¡¯s move, although he also hit himself, has a good effect.

    Whether it¡¯s Pucher¡¯s Dean Witter faction or Mike¡¯s old school, many people are dissatisfied.

    Their rebellion may be much smoother.

    After the two of them finished teasing Yi Xiaohai, they began to discuss who would be more suitable to attack first.

    At this time, in Pucher's office, Mike had a grimace and his unhappiness was written on his face.

    He discussed with Pucher that Morgan Stanley would provide 1 billion to acquire the shares of Lucent, and would provide another 800 million in assistance.

    But now, there are 600 million less.

    He was seriously dissatisfied,

    You know, Lucent is another big helper for him. If something goes wrong this time,

    He absolutely cannot accept that his position in Dalmore is not guaranteed, and even his position as the leader of the old school is not guaranteed.
