Chapter 371 Acquisition Negotiation (1)

Temporarily changing the negotiation address is actually a negotiating tactic of "killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred". This tactic can naturally catch the other party by surprise, but at the same time it will also make the other party's trust in itself plummet. After all, acquisitions are not Strong buying and strong selling are all about win-win.Li Wei's side is naturally very angry at BestWeixin's decision to suddenly change the location of the acquisition negotiation. Anyway, the final result of this acquisition is Li Wei's side going to save BestWeiXun. back.Although Li Wei is not certain to win for BestWeather, it is not so easy to find a suitable replacement.

So Li Wei said coldly to his assistant: "Go and reply to them. We already know about the change of address, but we can't make it right now, so the negotiation time needs to be changed. We will inform you later about the final negotiation time. "

Li Wei's plan is also very simple, if you want to change the address, then I'll just postpone the negotiation time indefinitely. Anyway, it's not that we're going to find you on the pole, and everyone should not take Joe.At the same time, Li Wei's public relations team also released the news through appropriate news media, and said that Li Wei already had the idea of ​​terminating the negotiations, and expressed pessimism about the prospects for future negotiations.As soon as the news was released, all major financial media naturally followed up.Li Wei, who has just acquired Emerald Island, is a celebrity in the major North American news and financial media, and the brand of BestWeixun is also very affectionate in the North American market. Originally, many investment analysts were still very optimistic about Li Wei's rescue of this brand.

However, what analysts did not expect was that BestWeixun actually made a big death at this juncture and temporarily changed the negotiation address!Many financial experts and analysts accused BestWeisun of having no business reputation in the media, and expressed pessimism about the company's future.Because of the endorsement of so many authoritative experts, the stock price of Best Weixun once fell into the category of junk stocks. The New York Stock Exchange had to regret that if Best Weixun continued to perform like this in the next three months, the New York Stock Exchange would have to Expelled Best Weixin from the exchange.

Once Bestweixun is forced to delist from the New York Stock Exchange, its shareholders can only go to the "pink sheet market" to seek trading opportunities.The pink sheet market is actually Citi's over-the-counter trading institution, referring to the trading venues for stocks that do not comply with the regulations of the US Securities Regulatory Commission.Since the stocks listed and traded on the pink sheet market basically do not provide key data such as company financial reports and tax information, it is difficult for investors to judge the value of these stocks, so this is a very risky investment market.For the vast majority of investors, once the stocks they hold fall into the pink sheet market, it basically means that the investment value of the company tends to zero.

Therefore, after the New York Stock Exchange issued a delisting warning, BestWeixin's stock price went from plummeting to cliff diving.

"This is your decision? The company's current stock is no different from waste paper!" On the board of directors, the directors were extremely angry at the self-assertion of the company's executives.

Usually, except for a small number of executive directors who retain some company positions, most of the rest of the board of directors are non-executive directors, that is, the kind who lie down and collect money.For these non-executive directors, as long as their income is guaranteed, they will not say anything.But the problem now is that, after finally meeting someone who came to take over the order, I can get out of the body, and the result is that the company's management will collectively die. One step deeper.

"If you can't stop this decline, believe me, you will all be fired from the company tomorrow! Don't use your employment contracts to threaten us old men. Do you really think we don't know what you are doing in the company? ? If you tear up your face, don’t blame us for returning your face. In the worst case, the company will go bankrupt, and we old men can’t take a penny away, but we will also guarantee that you will enjoy the chrysanthemum of those murderers in the highest federal supervision prison for the rest of your life. Body massage! You white elites who are skinny and well-maintained, they like it very much. Maybe stay there for a few years, and AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis, etc. will become your lifelong companionship gifts!"

The executives kept silent, they were naturally well aware of the tempers of their non-executive directors.Although they are usually as harmless as mascots, but if their interests are really violated, it is not impossible to be sent to the Pacific Ocean to feed sharks.In fact, these executives were also very angry. They felt that Li Wei's actions were too unkind, and he was just showing off a little. You arranged for someone to come over to give condolences.But Li Wei, the stick, not only didn't follow their script, but also directly overturned the table where everyone was eating. This is really an annoying person!If Li Wei knew what these executives were thinking, he would have sneered.

Li Wei's idea for the acquisition of BestWeisun is a wholly-owned acquisition, which is thoroughly digested, so these executives cannot be retained.If these executives still have some ability, then Li Wei will not hesitate to give them the opportunity to develop in other subsidiaries.But the problem is that these executives are really vegetarians, and Li Wei can't see any reason to keep them.

According to the negotiation results of the initial contact, Li Wei has stated that all the grassroots management and grassroots employees of the company can stay in their posts while keeping the basic salary and basic benefits unchanged, and promise not to lay off employees within three years; but above the middle management, Li Wei must Admission is based on merit, and all management that does not meet the employment standards of the new company will be abolished. Except for the basic compensation, all other benefits in the originally promised "golden parachute" agreement will be cancelled.

Li Wei is willing to please those employees and capable management. As for the others, please go as far as you can.It is precisely because of Li Wei's policy towards executives that they seem to see the end of the world, so they plan to kill Li Wei's spirit.

"Let's not think about those idiot executives. It's no wonder that Li Wei is planning to clean them up. Seeing their stupid appearance now, I can't wait to fill them with concrete piers and throw them on the shore to make a breakwater. Let’s say they did something for the city of Los Angeles.”

After kicking out all the management from the board of directors, the directors began to discuss in the conference room how to continue negotiating with Li Wei.

"According to your analysis, how big is Li Wei's intention to acquire our side? I'm worried that Li Wei's side is not all dealing with us, but is completely planning to withdraw completely and leave after the talk about the acquisition cools down."

The director's worry was unreasonable. Although Li Wei was the first to hype up the news about the acquisition, it was true that he was unkind and did something that violated his commercial reputation.For the vast majority of onlookers, since you breached the contract first, there is nothing wrong with Li Wei giving up the acquisition in the end.The only bargaining chip on my side now is the so-called 3 jobs, which is probably why Li Wei dare not immediately announce the abandonment of the acquisition.Their strategy is estimated to be that if you want to change the negotiation location, then I will change the negotiation time. After the time drags on for several months and the media doesn't pay attention, they will give up the acquisition with a notification, and there is nothing I can do about it.Thinking of this, the director had a headache, and finally found a successor to take over the mess, but ran away!

"From a business point of view, BestWeisun does not have too much value, so there is no doubt that Li Wei is going to give up the acquisition of us temporarily." Another executive director replied.

Compared with these non-executive directors, his executive director has been in charge of the financial department all year round, so he still knows a lot about the company's situation.He had reservations about the board's previous practice of protecting the senior management, but Naihe's support was too loud, so he had no choice but to remain silent.Now seeing this group of executives jumping out to kill themselves, causing the entire board of directors to be dissatisfied with them, he is happy to watch the show.It's just that after watching the play, how to end it is a troublesome matter.

"But if I'm not wrong, Li Wei's acquisition of us should pave the way for his new company, Columbia Entertainment Group, to gain a foothold in North America. Although I haven't figured out what their intentions after acquiring us are, I guess he definitely didn't So easily give up on us. It's not that we are very precious, but that he won't be able to find a suitable partner for a while. If we want to continue to pull him into negotiations, we must show some sincerity on our side. For example, promise him Regarding the treatment of the senior management after the future acquisition. Now that the senior management has been caught by us, it is not difficult to coerce them to agree. Why don’t we sell the senior management to them as our sincerity? "

"If you sell them, you'll sell them!" The non-executive director who spoke waved his hand impatiently, "Isn't this group of pigs lying on us sucking less blood? Now it's time for them to pay for their greed! But who do we send the message to?"

"I have a good choice." The executive director smiled.I and Dorothy fell in love at first sight, but it was a pity that this woman had too much ambition in politics, so she married into a political family.Although I failed to embrace the beauty, I am happy to be able to do something for my beloved woman in private. "I recommend the alderman, Ms. Dorothy."

"Dorothy? I know her. She has been paying close attention to our acquisition." The non-executive director showed a sarcasm smile on his face. "Isn't she so enthusiastic because once the acquisition is successful, it will be of great importance to solve the employment situation in her constituency?" Great help. Forget it, anyway, this credit will fall on her head, so it's better to just give her a favor."

The temporary board meeting didn't end until late at night, and after the meeting, the chairman's phone call was made to the office of Senator Dorothy.Dorothy had a satisfied smile on her face after receiving the entrustment from the board of directors of Best Weixin.She was also very dissatisfied with the deadly approach of the executives of BestWeixun, but she did not expect to be resolved by the company's board of directors in an instant.Now that the acquisition case can continue to be discussed, and the messenger of the good news actually chose himself, this is simply the best news.

Thinking of this, Dorothy said to her secretary: "Book me the earliest flight ticket to Hawaii. In addition, leave to contact Li Wei's assistant, hoping to arrange a meeting with him tomorrow afternoon. If it is dinner time, then Better."

"I didn't expect the messenger who delivered the good news to meet us so soon?" Li Wei said with a smile after receiving the assistant's notification, "I remember that Philip's Gilardino Restaurant has opened in the Four Seasons Hotel in Honolulu, right? Although It doesn't have a Michelin star yet, but I'm confident in their restaurant. Let's prepare a dinner there for our messenger lady!"
