guest of honor

It was already evening when Qin Mu arrived at the company, and the general meeting of shareholders had long since ended. The administrative assistant told him that the acting chairman had taken the other two directors to the Summer Palace Hotel.When Qin Mu chased him out again, he saw the back of He Minghan also hurrying outside the company gate.

The black Lexus that He Minghan sat on was much more low-key than his love bike.

Qin Mu vaguely guessed that someone was waiting for He Minghan in the car.But he was running out of time, the Summer Palace was just around the corner at the end of the road, and he had to convince the acting chairman to add redemption clauses.

During the phone call just now, the acting chairman refused to believe that He Minghan was inextricably linked with Qingning Assets, or that there was a secret deal with He Minghan early on.Qin Mu contacted several other directors and learned that several of them had rushed back to other provinces or even overseas after the meeting. It was impossible to hold another board meeting in a short time, and the issuance of preferred stock subscription rights was imperative.However, after the implementation of the plan and announcement, only the signatures of the directors are required, and it is still possible to implement additional redemption clauses.

The legal department has already started drafting the dividend issuance document.The establishment of the redemption clause requires the authorization of the acting chairman, and it can be implemented after the signatures of all directors.

The opportunity for the takeover battle is fleeting, and the legal department is destined to work overtime tonight.From drafting to review, the period was only one day and one night, and he had to implement it within 24 hours.

There are very few vacant taxis during off-duty hours, and the drivers are thousands of miles away.Qin Mu dragged his splinted injured leg to the downstairs of the Summer Palace, pulled his collar hard, and sweated lightly in the cool night wind.At the same time, a sapphire blue two-door sports car galloped towards him and stopped beside him.

The aftereffects of the car accident have not completely gone away.Qin Mu cursed X, subconsciously took half a step back, and finally saw the person sitting on the inside of the car glass that had been put down halfway.

Under the colorful neon lights, Ye Li's pale face was almost transparent: "When I turned around, I saw He Minghan went in, there must be someone from the company waiting for him inside. You go in now, and at the same time tell the 'bodyguards' to bring the guy over. You can't be soft Let’s be tough, no matter what, the terms of the redemption must be finalized tonight.”

Qin Mu strode forward, grabbed the car window frame and his eyes were tearing: "What are you doing here, who made you get out of bed?!"

"I escaped." Ye Li said indifferently, but cold sweat slowly rolled down his forehead.He took a deep breath, barely suppressed the screaming pain in his body, and took off the collar pin on his shirt while talking: "Go quickly, leave me alone. Also, the collar is collapsed, please clean it up before meeting people. "

"Mr. He is here!" Acting chairman Sun Ren got up first, strode towards the door with a smile on his face, and held He Minghan's hand tightly, "Is the company's affairs successfully completed?"

The embarrassment and sadness of forced resignation could not be seen on He Minghan's face, but there was a bit of joy: "The procedures on the personnel side have been completed, and the office has been vacated. Today is my last day to go to work in the company. Ask Sun Dong to see me off."

"Hey, Mr. He is treating me like an outsider by saying that." Sun Yiran smiled meaningfully, and patted He Minghan's shoulder, "Don't worry, we will see you again soon."

He Minghan smiled and looked at the other two directors consciously or unconsciously from the corner of his eye.Sun Ren immediately said: "They are all our own people, Mr. He is on the table!"

After some polite excuses, Sun Ren was pushed to the main seat, and He Minghan sat on his right hand.After a round of drinking, Sun Ren congratulated Minghan alone, and he reached the bottom of his Moutai cup: "Mr. He, I will also introduce the person who introduced Qingning's assets to us in the future. Everyone will work together in the future. It is best to establish a personal relationship in advance." okay?"

He Minghan's face changed slightly, but seeing the understanding expressions of the other two present, he knew that they were also involved in his and Sun Ren's plan.The more people there are, the less vested interests each person has and the greater the risk.But after thinking about it, the matter has been finalized, and maybe it is also due to the credit of those two people. He Minghan suppressed his dissatisfaction with Sun Ren, and raised his glass with a smile: "I will definitely invite some of you to join the couple with the Queen of Han TV!" Have a meal!"

He raised his glass to do it, but was stopped by Sun Ren, who held his wrist lightly but resolutely.

"Brother, wait a minute." Sun Ren took a deep look at him, picked up the wine bottle and filled his glass again, and drank another two glasses in a row.He Minghan wanted to stop him, but Sun Ren drank simply. After the second cup, He Minghan knew that he had something to ask of him.

The Moutai Cup was put on the table, and Sun Ren, who had drank three cups in a row, was a little overwhelmed, but his eyes were sharper and sharper than before: "What do you want to see Han Youning? Brother, you call her now, does she dare to come? What I want to see is your back—”

The soft door of the compartment was pushed open at this moment, and the four people standing or sitting looked towards the door one after another.

He Minghan just let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Sun Ren's words were stopped, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the person who was supposed to be recuperating in the hospital appearing at the door, leaning on the wall.

Qin Mu, who was dressed in black, scrutinized everyone present, and finally his cold and sharp eyes fell on Sun Ren: "Uncle Sun, I came here uninvited, so I didn't disturb you and Mr. He, right? "

He still had a splint on his leg, so he walked unsteadily. He limped to the wine table in the strange silence of guard or suspicion, turned the glass turntable, and lifted the bottle between his fingers. Picked up a bottle of wine: "I'm late, and today's meeting will be presided over by Uncle Sun. I will punish myself with a drink first, please forgive me."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the bottle cap.

"Nephew, you..." Sun Ren opened his mouth to stop him, but He Minghan touched his arm, and the other party gave him a calm look, and then he shut his mouth embarrassingly.

When Sun Ren first saw Qin Mu appear, he thought that his affair with He Minghan had been exposed, and hurriedly tried to cover it up.But in He Minghan's view, Qin Mu didn't necessarily know about his deal with Sun Ren.He punished himself with three cups to give Sun Ren face, and he must ask Sun Ren for something later.

He Minghan didn't believe that Qin Mu still couldn't see that he was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, and that Han Youning and his wife were just the public spokespersons of Qingning's assets.At this juncture, whatever Qin Mu does must be related to the acquisition.Well, what he wants to ask Sun Ren to do, even if there is nothing wrong with it on the surface, Sun Ren can't give him this face anyway.

It's better to be clear from the beginning.

At this point in the road, if Sun Ren wants to jump off his boat, he will never be able to.

Sun Ren didn't say a word, while the other two shareholders, Xian Ge Zhiya, watched Qin Mu pour a cup of white wine into his intestines.He Minghan finally spoke: "Boss Qin, we meet again so soon."

Qin Mu put down his wine glass and said with a half-smile, "Congratulations to Mr. He for climbing another branch. Qingning Capital is a good employer."

He came in a hurry just now, and when he was at the door, he only vaguely heard Sun Ren say that there was someone behind He Minghan, which is not surprising after all.These words were just to deceive He Minghan, but it is a pity that he is also a thousand-year-old fox. From his ambiguous words, He Minghan could tell that Qin Mu lacked confidence: "I am one of the shareholders of Qingning Capital. Mr. Qin, although I left Qin Zhen, but you still can't avoid me."

He laughed dryly and raised his glass to Qin Mu: "Just now you toasted Sun Dong's glass, I will pay it back for him."

Qin Mu looked at him coldly and drank his toast, then asked the embarrassed Sun Ren beside him, "Is Uncle Sun inviting Mr. He to dinner to see him off, or is there something else?"

Sun Ren wished that he was already drunk, so he could just pretend to be crazy and foolishly avoid today.But at this moment, He Minghan and Qin Mu were both looking at him, and he didn't want to offend anyone until everything was settled.He laughed and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Nephew, take this glass of wine as a farewell to Mr. He, don't drink any more! You have just been discharged from the hospital, young people, don't rely on your health to mess around Hurry up, Lao Li quickly give up a seat to Xiao Qin."

The director on Sun Ren's left hurriedly got up and helped Qin Mu to sit in his seat.After that, he slipped out on the pretext of making a phone call, and didn't say whether he would come back.

This time, Sun Ren's heart turned cold, and he couldn't help but look at He Minghan's face.

He Minghan cursed secretly in his heart, "It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than a failure." Today, he has to clarify his words in front of Qin Mu in order to cut off Sun Ren's way out: "Qingning Capital wants to acquire Daishan Culture, and Sun Ren's plan is to buy Daishan Culture." Dong Ke has already made his statement. Mr. Qin, what do you think?"

Surprised, Sun Ren hurriedly said: "Mr. He, friendship belongs to friendship. Even if you leave from Daishan, we still have a business to make a fortune together. Why do you have to fight to the death?"

It's a pity that no one is willing to accompany him to make mud.Qin Mu's eyes were deep, and he took up the conversation: "I heard about the acquisition, Mr. He, you acted quickly, and with the shares in your hands, Qingning Capital already has more than 20% of the shares. "

He turned to Sun Ren and said, "Uncle Sun, didn't you still propose an anti-merger at the board meeting this afternoon? Mr. He is much faster than you. I'm afraid that once the preferred stock subscription rights are issued, they can be circulated overnight. Qing Even if Ning Capital wants to swallow the company, it has to weigh how to buy back these preferred shares, which is a good thing for Qin Zhen."

"Hehe." He Minghan sneered twice without saying a word.He didn't know if Qin Mu had seen the trap in the subscription rights for preferred shares, but since he was willing to act stupid, he would just wait and see how this good show would end.

Of course, Sun Ren would not expose his secrets, he licked his face and said humbly: "It's just a matter of duty, Mr. Qin's words are serious."

"Now you remember that I am President Qin." Qin Mu said in a low voice, and pushed the wine glass on the tablecloth, and the transparent wine soaked the tablecloth, "But if Qingning Assets never planned to take over What? After the shareholder meeting passed the fixed increase plan, I will not be able to hold absolute control. Even if He Minghan wants to join the board of directors in the future, he is fully qualified based on his own shares and Qingning Assets, not to mention the two leaders in the company. There are a lot of people here. And the subscription rights that are circulating outside will only become a barrier for other capital to enter the company! Acting chairman, what you are doing is really what you are supposed to do?"

Every time Qin Mu said a word, Sun Ren's heart became colder.

It is clear that Qin Mu is nearly [-] years younger than him, but Sun Ren has always been afraid of him.Because at Ye Jingsheng's funeral three years ago, he saw the child stabbing a director's eyes with a candlestick without changing his face, so he knew that Qin Mu was the one who didn't mind blood on his hands.He wiped the cold sweat off his face again, and his tone became a lot more respectful when he spoke: "Then what do you mean, Mr. Qin?"

He Minghan, who was sitting opposite Qin Mu, reminded coldly: "Don't Mr. Qin know? Since the issuance of subscription rights has passed, it is imperative."

And Qin Mu didn't even bother to look at him again: "Issuance is fine. But I have read the meeting minutes before coming here, and there is no redemption clause."

Sun Renyi was taken aback, he didn't expect Qin Mu to bring up redemption.

"Redemption" is indeed one of the conditions for the issuance of subscription rights, but it is not a necessary condition.Under the condition that the purchase price and conditions are sufficiently favorable, the shareholders of the target company think that they are no longer the target of a hostile takeover, and the behavior of the acquirer will become a friendly takeover.After the two parties become a strategic alliance, the target company can use the redemption clause to withdraw the subscription right at the price predetermined at the time of issuance, so that the acquirer can successfully complete the acquisition.

Even He Minghan was surprised.If the redemption clause is indeed established, then when Qingning Assets has enough shares, it can place its own shareholders in Daishan Culture, or even buy old shareholders, so as to realize the redemption of subscription rights.At that time, the absolute control of Daishan culture will be in the pocket of Qingning's assets.

Although I still don't understand what Qin Mu's intention is, but at the critical moment, people can't be greedy, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss.He Minghan glanced at Sun Renren, obviously the other party didn't understand the key, but he couldn't let Sun Ren agree to Qin Mu's seemingly absurd request: "The redemption clause is the way out. Why, Mr. Qin doesn't want to burn everything together Are you determined?"

Sun Ren followed up and said, "Boss Qin, there's no need for this, is it? After all, the original intention of issuing the subscription rights is to snipe at the acquirer..."

"Why did he want to die with you?" A chuckle sounded from outside the door.

Qin Mu stood up suddenly.When he saw clearly that the person was being pushed in in a wheelchair, he almost couldn't control his emotions: "What are you doing here?!"

Ye Li waved his hand to signal the bodyguard to push him to Qin Mu's side, shook his hand firmly and said in a low voice, "Come and help you."

He turned to look at the pale-faced He Minghan, with a three-point smile on his lips: "Mr. He, long time no see. My bones haven't healed yet, so I'll sit and talk to you."

He Minghan already knew what he was going to say, and also knew whose idea it was to set up the redemption clause.He supported the table and stood up. He didn't look at Ye Li, but only set his eyes on Qin Mu: "Qin Mu, don't you fear that the people in the company will be disappointed by doing this?!"

However, Qin Mu's attention was not given to others the moment Ye Li appeared, and he turned a deaf ear to He Minghan's words at this moment.

"Mr. He, Yuanyang didn't want to buy the object that Qingning Culture wants to acquire." Ye Li held his hand even tighter, as if wanting to give him confidence and strength, "Fair competition, see you at the mall."

Although his posture is relaxed at the moment, only Ye Li knows that every time he says a word, his chest and lower abdomen feel pain like needles.However, Sun Ren still stood there undecided, Ye Li stared at him empty-eyed, then raised his head and said to Qin Mu: "Luo Haoyuan has arrived, do you want to invite him in?"

Hearing this, He Minghan shook his body and fell back into the armchair.After Luo Haoyuan knew who reported his wife, He Minghan kept avoiding him.Now that he suddenly heard that Luo Haoyuan was coming, He Minghan was afraid that the other party would rush in with a knife and do something wrong.

Although this is the Summer Palace, Qin Mu's canine teeth will bite if pushed.

Sun Ren also knew that the Luo family was the ministers of a family surnamed Qin, and that they were the swords in Qin Mu's hands.He looked at He Minghan, and the panic on the other side made him make up his mind, and immediately called Daishan Culture's legal counsel: "Add a redemption clause to the issuance notice of the preferred stock subscription rights, and the redemption price of each right will be calculated according to Industry average price setting... Yes, the board of directors didn't discuss this matter today, you should add it first! I'll discuss it with someone later... Okay, that's it, I'm going back to the company now."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Ren left in a hurry.He Minghan even ran away when he was talking on the phone, and the box became empty for a while.Ye Li glanced at the bodyguard behind him and signaled him to leave, it was just the driver who took him to the Summer Palace.He Minghan's concern was chaotic, so he didn't see any flaws.

There are only two people left in the room.Qin Mu squatted down and half-kneeled in front of Ye Li's wheelchair. He held his hand and buried his head in his palm: "Are you lying? I just called Luo Haoyuan, and he is still in the old city. It won't be an hour. Can't make it back."

Ye Li touched the top of his hairy head, it was so painful that he didn't want to talk anymore.

But Qin Mu still refused to let go: "Why did you come, don't you believe that I can solve it by myself?"

Ye Li raised his chin, looked down at Qin Mu's half unwilling and half distressed face, and suddenly smiled, "Because I'm your whiteknight."

The author has something to say: Note 1: The strategy to resist hostile mergers and acquisitions is the poison pill plan.Whether it is legal depends on the setting of the conditions, and if sued, the final judgment will be made by the court;

Note 2: white knight, the bona fide third party introduced by the target company in the merger to repel the hostile acquirer.
