Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

The current market value of Gage Media is much larger than that of Wanzhong Media. Acquiring Gage Media and gaining enough control over the company will not be an easy task.

Once the company being acquired discovers that someone wants to acquire it, if it does not want to be acquired, it will also repurchase shares from the stock market, which will inevitably lead to a further rise in the stock price.

When a stock price starts to soar and the cost of acquiring a company exceeds the budget or the expected affordability, the acquisition is considered a failure.

The result of failure is quite embarrassing. It's like helping someone else raise their stock price but being unable to control their company, generate profits for your own related companies, and even having your own funds locked up in their company.

It's important to understand that while it's relatively easy for major shareholders to buy stocks, reducing their holdings is much more complicated. First, they must hold the shares for one to two years, and the shares cannot be traded, otherwise it would be considered market disruption.

Secondly, any reduction of shareholdings must be announced in advance, and violations will be punished, especially in the Nasdaq stock market, where the regulatory力度 is very strict and the penalties are severe, unlike the domestic stock market where the penalties are often insignificant.

For a company to grow, working capital is crucial. Once working capital dries up, it will seriously affect the company's development. If you use your working capital to do good deeds for others, the consequences are predictable.

Therefore, diverting the attention of Lothar and others and the company's cash flow was also very important before launching the acquisition of Architectural Media.

As expected, when Le Xin'er relayed Li Xiaofeng's request to Luo Siqi and the others, they sternly rejected it and warned Li Xiaofeng not to take advantage of the situation, as it was a challenge to the dignity of their three families.

"That's really what they said?" Li Xiaofeng's smile was full of confidence and disdain.

Le Xin'er nodded.

"Hmph, when they tried to forcibly acquire my Wanzhong Media, why didn't they say it was a challenge to my dignity? Now that I want to buy back my things, it's a challenge to their dignity?"

These big families are used to being bosses and have become accustomed to double standards. They've learned the "only officials are allowed to set fires while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps" mentality. Today, I'm really going to challenge their dignity.

"Xin'er, have your lawyer prepare. I'm planning to forcibly initiate the acquisition of shares in Wanzhong Media. You should prepare all legal matters related to the acquisition in advance!"

Le Xin'er looked shocked.

"You...you really intend to go to war with those three? How terrifying is their combined strength? Is it worth falling out with them for the sake of one company?"

Seeing Le Xin'er's anxious expression, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "If we don't buy back Wanzhong Media, what resources will I have to help you in the future?"

“Xiaofeng, I know you care about me, but you really don’t need to offend all three of them for my sake. My law firm is doing very well now.”

Li Xiaofeng said meaningfully, "Aren't you also a member of the Yue family?"

Le Xin'er lowered her head and said weakly, "Although I am a member of the Le family, I am yours now, and I don't want anything to happen to you!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled, hugged her, and kissed her several times. He said in a relaxed tone, "It's the 21st century now. It's not the era of fighting and killing anymore."

This is mainland China, not Hong Kong. We conduct business fairly and compete on a level playing field. We can't tolerate their reckless behavior. Besides, if they really resort to violence, I'm not necessarily afraid of them!

Le Xin'er hugged Li Xiaofeng tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline, and said firmly, "Don't worry, if things really fall apart with them, I will definitely stand by your side!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "No need. Acquiring a listed company is a normal business transaction. You've made it sound like a life-or-death battle. Just do what you need to do."

The Le family raised you and helped you a lot in your career. It's only right and proper that you repay them. If Mengyao asks you anything, just tell her honestly!

"But if we leak the information to them, they will definitely take measures in advance!"

"When they acquired my Wanzhong Media, didn't they also reveal their acquisition intentions in advance?"

"That's different; it's because your business acumen is too sharp!"

"The process is not important, only the result matters. In fact, when I asked you to send them a message that you wanted to buy back Wanzhong Media, I had already revealed my intention to acquire it!"

Therefore, you don't need to create a rift with the Le family over such a small matter. The blessings of family are also very important for a person who wants to live a happy life.

My problem is nothing more than money. If I can't acquire Wanzhong Media, I'll just not do it. I'll just consider it money invested in the stock market. It's no big deal!

Le Xin'er pouted and said coquettishly, "You're really optimistic. You're really rich and powerful now!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "Well, I'm just lucky. I was originally planning to retire early, cash out my shares and real estate, and then live a shameless life with you guys..."

"How disgusting! Who wants to be shameless with you? It's all you doing, being shameless all by yourself! I was forced into it anyway. Just thinking about all those weird tricks of yours makes me so embarrassed!"

Le Xin'er couldn't help but shyly cover her face, but the blush on her face still peeked out from between her fingers.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but kiss her forehead and said with a smile, "That's why I'm so lucky. I've managed to win over the eldest daughter of the Le family."

What I didn't expect was that by cashing out in advance, I actually avoided the economic crisis and managed to cash out at a high price, securing my profits early.

Here's what I think: if God wants me to get rich, it means God thinks I'm still too young and doesn't intend for me to retire early; He wants me to continue building my career!

Le Xin'er said with a grin, "You're not even thirty yet and you're already clamoring to retire. People who run businesses are in their prime in their forties. How are you supposed to put them in a bad position?"

Li Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, "Whether they are good or bad is none of my business, but I have money now. Many of my assets have declined a lot. If I don't make a comeback and make some money, I'll be letting myself down."

The ancients warned us long ago that if you do not accept what Heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences!

So, I'm just going with the flow. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I've already made enough money. If I can't acquire Wanzhong Media, I'll just think of another way!

Hearing Li Xiaofeng say that, Le Xiner didn't insist and went to work as usual in a cheerful mood.
