Chapter 507 Acquisition of Cisco

The top management of Pingguo Company waited for four days, thinking that Xia Chuan would come back after the Luoshanji riot, but nothing happened.

Anna didn't move either. It seemed like she couldn't do anything without Xia Chuan.

As a result, Valentin couldn't help it anymore. Just after the stock market closed, he looked at the stock prices of all the companies he held and called Anna to ask:

"Why isn't Xia Chuan back? He won't let go now, will he?"

"Oh, Mr. Valentine, Xia Chuan is on his honeymoon."

"Didn't he have a honeymoon last year?" Valentine asked strangely.

Anna smiled and said: "That's right, he has a honeymoon once a year."

"Mader. It will be even better to get married next year." Valentin was convinced.

"By the way, I was just looking for you to help me think of a way to make Pingguo's top management obey. I must complete the acquisition before Xia Chuan comes back." Anna said.

How could Valentin not understand that Anna was eager to make achievements to show to Xia Chuan, but he wished that Xia Chuan would take Anna away and let Xia Chuan control it himself?It’s okay to change to a professional manager.

He gloated: "Where can I find the solution? Your bid is too low. Pingguo has many patents, and its stock price cannot reflect the value of Pingguo."

"But Xia Chuan said that Pingguo will go bankrupt in less than three years."

"That's possible. Scully is still suitable for selling sugar water. He is not good at high technology. But I estimate that there will be a replacement next year. I may not be so pessimistic."

"I do have an idea. How about I give up Pingguo and make an acquisition instead?"

"Ah? Who do you want to replace?" Valentin's heart was in doubt. This girl is too courageous. If Xia Chuan wants to acquire Pingguo, there must be an intention that no outsider can catch, so she dares to change it casually?

"How about I switch to Cisco? I will definitely not make a mistake. Xia Chuan said Cisco is good."

Valentine almost vomited blood, "Of course Cisco is good, but you want to acquire Cisco?"

"Aren't you willing? Is my control different from your control?"

"You are inconsistent with Xia Chuan's strategy. He wants to intervene in the weak links of the Internet and use innovation to gain excess profits. But Cisco is not the weak link, it is the strongest link!

On the other hand, if you have enough innovative products or innovative models, then the weaker the link, the more profitable it will be.The stronger the link, the less profitable it is, because you can’t develop independently from the entire Internet, right? "

"Eh? Why do I feel that you are so desperate to say something bad about Cisco?"

"I'm not saying that Cisco is not good. I am telling you from Xia Chuan's perspective where huge profits come from. Xia Chuan's approach is the one that makes huge profits. Although Cisco makes more money than most companies, it is incomparable to Xia Chuan. You see What kind of business is he doing that is not hugely profitable?"

"Oh, as long as Cisco is good, I will buy Cisco and let Pingguo take a look. You can make a price."

Valentine shouted angrily: "30 billion, I'll give you 50.00% of the equity!"

Anna smiled leisurely and said: "You are going to scare me to death. The price is 15 billion."

Valentine was stunned, this girl offered 15 billion?

He said 30 billion just because he wanted to destroy Anna, but when Anna said 15 billion, it was no joke.

Anna Youyou said: "I will send you an acquisition offer later. You can apply for a trading suspension tomorrow. The board of directors will discuss it."

After that, hang up first.

Valentin frowned and pondered for a long time, and understood Anna's idea. After acquiring Cisco, Pingguo couldn't bear the pressure.

Those shareholders don't care about the value. They only know that Xia Chuan's intervention will cause the stock price to skyrocket. Dell is the best example. And those shareholders are suffering from the decline in stock prices, but Pingguo rejects Xia Chuan's acquisition?Their rage could send Scully flying.

Valentine pondered, the pros and cons should be carefully calculated.

Xia Chuan doubled his purchase of Dell and made Dell crazy. However, Cisco's premium was higher than Dell's, but Valentine didn't smile.

But he knew the price was a bargain.

If no other person would give this price, Xia Chuan would not even buy it.

Although Valentine does not absolutely control Cisco, his prestige is too high. He is the father of venture capital, far-sighted, sophisticated, and has superb corporate management. The board of directors is his, and everyone agrees if he agrees.

He just kept sitting, thinking, until Anna knocked on the door and came in.

The takeover bid was placed in front of him.

Valentin looked at Anna and smiled: "You are quite courageous, does Xia Chuan agree?"

"Why does Xia Chuan go on vacation without worries?" Anna asked back.

Valentine was stunned and sighed: "Xia Chuan is putting some pressure on you. You are also very courageous, but you have too little experience. It is best to train as an assistant for a few years."

He flipped open the acquisition offer, took a look at it, and asked, "What happens after you acquire it?"

"You step down as chairman." Anna said nonchalantly.

Valentine grinned happily, "I'm still not convinced that you can't do it. Isn't it too early for you to say that? Can you be the chairman?"

"When did I say I would be the chairman?" Anna asked.

Valentine was stunned: "Xia Chuan has never held any position. If you let him take it, what would he do?"

"When did I say that Xia Chuan should be the chairman?" Anna asked again.

Valentine was surprised, "You want to change the CEO?"

His reaction was too fast. If we must choose a chairman from Cisco, only current CEO Morgridge can do it.

In other words, Anna's purpose was to change the CEO, not the chairman, but the consequence was that she could only squeeze Valentin out of the board of directors and let him become a director, which he would not do.

Anna smiled and said: "That's right. It's time for you to retire. Wouldn't it be better to give in on your own initiative?"

Valentine asked stubbornly: "You must tell who to change and the reasons for the change. This is related to the development of the enterprise."

"Okay. Change Chambers." Anna said calmly.

Valentin was startled, "Reason?"

"I have no reason. But Xia Chuan said that you are old and confused. Should you replace someone? Chambers is the best CEO."

Valentine suddenly had a wonderful expression on his face, "Xia Chuan asked you to buy it?"

"No. Would he slap himself in the face?" Anna asked.

Valentine thought the same thing. This was inconsistent with what Xia Chuan said.

He was immediately attracted. As long as the company could make more money, he would not bother to be the chairman.

Now it's a big advantage to let Anna buy it.

"I agree." Valentine tapped his index finger on the table and smiled.

Anna asked: "You don't need to hold a board meeting?"

Valentine laughed loudly: "I agree and everyone agrees. I believe Xia Chuan is the same, but you are still too far behind."

Anna curled her lips and said: "I don't need the second person's consent to acquire Cisco."

Valentin choked and said angrily: "You are cruel. But Xia Chuan is going to let go, and Yike must formalize and form a board of directors."

"Yes, I understand." Anna didn't care. Xia Chuan had absolute control, and the board of directors was just a decoration.

If any director is ignorant, replace him with a sensible one.
