President Bill came to take charge in person, accompanied by several other directors.
The department head is reporting to Bill.
"President, after the company announced the buyback plan, someone in the market has been collecting funds on a large scale,"
"Who knows?"
"There is no way to know. You need to contact the securities company to find out."
¡°Send someone to contact and find out who it is.¡±
The supervisor arranged for his subordinates to contact him.
"Are there any abnormalities among the other companies that have announced buybacks?"
"The current transaction volume and transaction data are normal and there is nothing abnormal."
Bill frowned.
?? Several of these leading technology stocks announced buyback plans at the same time and agreed to act in a unified manner.
But now there are about 10 minutes left before the agreed time, and someone is buying Microsoft shares in the market.
He felt there was a conspiracy.
"Bill, could it be that those on Wall Street are taking the opportunity to acquire our shares?"
??Balmer, Bill¡¯s classmate who was just promoted to CEO of Microsoft in January this year, guessed.
"them?"
"Bill is a little unsure," "We just agreed to the buyback plan, so there's no need for them to take action now, right?" "
"Don't forget, they are eyeing Microsoft and want to control Microsoft!"
The conflict between Wall Street and Microsoft has been going on for a long time.
They wanted to enter Microsoft, but Bill and Microsoft executives refused their entry.
Because Microsoft¡¯s philosophy is to empower people to communicate and create at any time, anywhere and through any device through excellent software.
But the core philosophy of Wall Street is that solid capital and flowing companies are
Their purpose is just to make money, not to run a good business.
Countless companies in the United States have turned into pure capital games after entering Wall Street. This is something the Microsoft team does not want to see.
It is precisely because of this that the contradiction between the two parties is irreconcilable, and the monopoly case emerged.
It is not impossible for Wall Street to take action in advance and acquire some shares.
"There are less than ten minutes before we take action. They should be able to acquire only a limited amount, and most of those stocks have non-voting rights, so the impact should not be big."
Bowmer nodded. He was just worried that there was really very little he could do in 10 minutes.
"Bill, do you believe Hunter can really solve that matter?"
¡°I¡¯m not sure, but things started because of them, and those people on Wall Street do have a lot of energy, and maybe things can turn around.¡±
"But I heard that when the case enters this stage, no one can reverse the outcome."
"No matter what, we have to try. The financial market is not optimistic anyway. We repurchase some stocks. Even if the stock market plummets in the future, we can prevent Wall Street financial institutions from acquiring us."
"That's true,"
Microsoft is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
They seem to have made the buyback decision because of the bill's compromise with Wall Street, but they also have their own deep meaning behind it.
The management foresees the Internet crisis and the financial market is likely to plummet.
The cost of launching a buyback plan at this time is indeed too high, but it also has certain strategic significance.
The key is that if Wall Street can handle the monopoly bill, their losses will be completely negligible.
"President, I found it. It is said that Hantang Investment is collecting funds."
"them?"
Bill and all the directors were stunned.
In order to prevent Hantang Investment from shorting the Nasdaq Index, Wall Street united many companies to carry out buyback plans.
The purpose is to boost the share prices of leading technology companies, thereby keeping the market hot.
To know,
Companies such as Microsoft and Cisco hold a high weight in technology stocks, and their buyback plans are very conducive to market enthusiasm.
But the Han and Tang Dynasties suddenly came out and swept the market like crazy. Is this self-inflicted?
"President, basically all the Microsoft shares currently on the market have been acquired by Han and Tang."
"How much did they take?"
"Currently, there are more than 400 million shares, with a total value of more than 20 billion."
¡°What on earth did the Han and Tang Dynasties want to do!!¡±
¡°Bill was completely confused.
It¡¯s not just him, Hunter is confused.¡¡
Hunter already knew about it as soon as Hantang started acquiring Microsoft shares.
He also couldn¡¯t understand what the Han and Tang Dynasties were trying to do.
Self-mutilation is not so cruel, just take the money as money.
Angel and his subordinates were asking whether to stop Hantang from continuing the acquisition. Hunter, who hesitated repeatedly, finally gave the order to wait and see what happens.
What the Han and Tang Dynasties are doing now is good for them, and there is no need for Hunter to interfere.
It¡¯s just that he forgot the tactics he specified at the beginning: no matter right or wrong, he must fight against the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Soon, he paid the price for his stupidity.
¡¡
"Xiaohai, 45 billion, it should be enough."
The meeting rooms of the Han and Tang Dynasties,
Dong Li came in and told Yi Xiaohai that he already had enough Microsoft shares.
Yi Xiaohai¡¯s face was filled with excitement,
"Sell it to me, sell it all at once!"
He has made a big move, and it depends on how Microsoft responds.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out out out his out-sold, Yi Xiaohai would admit defeat today, and take in all the stocks he sold.
He will think of other ways,
If Microsoft wants to eat but doesn't have enough cash to eat, that would be interesting.
give up,
If you slap yourself in the face, the market will also look down on Microsoft, which will cause a chain reaction.
Yi Xiaohai gave it a little publicity, and the cooling effect should be good.
do not give up,
Get a loan or ask Wall Street for financial help,
That would be more interesting,
Yi Xiaohai can knock the sap off and make those on Wall Street buzz.
¡¡
Yi Xiaohai ordered to sell, and soon Microsoft saw several billions of pending orders appearing in the market.
The head of the securities trading department turned pale.
¡°President, it¡¯s not good.¡±
Bill was thinking about something and was interrupted.
"What's wrong?"
"There are several sales orders worth several billions in the market. Do we want to eat them or not?"
Bill¡¯s expression changed.
"Who sold it?"
Those investment institutions must have sold tens of billions of Microsoft stocks at once. This is not good news.
News soon came over there that it was Han and Tang who took action.
"Han and Tang"
Before Bill could recover, Bowmer over there started swearing.
"What's wrong?"
"The Han and Tang dynasties were really bad. We had more than 40 billion worth of stocks. How can we buy them back!"
Microsoft is a world-class company, but it will never have a cash flow of more than 40 billion.
Now they have just announced a buyback plan. If they don¡¯t buy 40 billion shares, it will be a slap in the face.
After realizing it, Bill reacted.
It was only then that he realized that the purpose of acquiring company stock during the Han and Tang dynasties was to fight back.
This move really hit Microsoft¡¯s target.
"Baumer, call Hunter and ask him to help acquire part of it. Microsoft can acquire up to 15 billion."
"Bill, I think it's best not to do this,"
"Why?"
"I have learned about the Han and Tang Dynasties. Their boss, the Huaxia Yi, is not an easy character to deal with. I feel that his move may have other meanings."
? ? Bowmer is able to achieve his current position by relying on his acumen.
He felt that asking Hunter for help was not the best way
