Chapter 1878 Acquisition of Microsoft

Back to the topic, after the Knicks United Fund Company was exposed, it was the first foundation to rush up to short the Enron Foundation. In the end, they made a lot of profits and made nearly 2 billion US dollars.

So, the Knicks United Fund Company, which was still unsatisfied, naturally targeted Microsoft, which was closely linked to Enron. The Knicks United Fund Company directly started shorting Microsoft's stocks without even investigating it.

Because in the view of Knicks United Fund, Kenneth did not tamper with Microsoft's financial report, that was the Sun hit the West.

This happened to be true. With Enron's financial report experience, Knicks United Fund Company was naturally very comfortable when analyzing Microsoft's financial report. In less than three days, it found more than a dozen data fraud problems in Microsoft's financial report.

Then Knicks United Fund immediately couldn't wait to announce the news, and Microsoft's stock price collapsed, and then began the process of falling from $200 billion to $30 billion.

Originally, Microsoft would not have lost so ruthlessly, but the failure was that Enron Company was really bad. It was delisted because the stock price finally dropped to 1 US dollar. Many investors were full of concerns about companies like Enron, for fear that if they didn't run away in time, the company would delist directly and their stocks would all become waste paper!

So these investors didn't say a word and saw that Microsoft had also committed financial fraud, and they sold the stocks in their hands without even a trace of hesitation.

At this time, various financial institutions were also full of concern about Microsoft's future prospects, and they did not dare to take over Microsoft's stocks. As a result, after retail investors were thrown away, Microsoft's stocks plummeted, and the institutions could not bear it anymore and began to sell stocks, which led to further collapse of Microsoft.

All in all, Microsoft is miserable!

After Microsoft's stock price fell below $30 billion, Daqian Group suddenly announced that it would initiate an acquisition of Microsoft, intending to buy Microsoft directly.

In fact, when Daqian announced the news, Daqian had already acquired more than 20% of Microsoft's shares in the stock market and became Microsoft's second largest shareholder.

In the stock market, Microsoft actually has not many stocks, and the remaining stocks are basically in the hands of various institutions. Daqian is making a direct request for acquisition at this time, naturally, the purpose is to buy Microsoft stocks in these institutions, and he has a big appetite and wants to swallow the entire Microsoft.

As for why Daqian swallowed Microsoft, the answer is naturally self-evident. Daqian intends to use money to eliminate Hongmeng’s biggest opponent, or simply let the two companies merge, thereby completing Hongmeng’s counterattack on the Windows system.

As soon as the news was announced, the entire United States exploded.

Daqian actually wanted to acquire Microsoft, and a company in China actually wanted to acquire the former high-tech light of the United States. This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it.

As a result, a wave of opposition was immediately set off in the entire United States. The Internet was already relatively developed at this time, so many people also began to join forces on online forums to demand that Daqian stop the acquisition of Microsoft.

But these objections do not seem to work. Microsoft's stock price has always hovered around $30 billion, while those foundations holding Microsoft stocks are swaying. Soon, news that some foundations have sold their stocks to Daqian.

This made the people's opponents even more anxious, and a huge wave quickly formed on the Internet.

"Chairman, I have said a long time ago that now is not the most suitable time to acquire Microsoft!" Zhou Hongwei said with a little complaint in the video conference.

Boss Jia on the other end of the video had a expressionless face and could not tell what he was thinking.

Zhou Hongwei is indeed opposed to the acquisition of Microsoft at this time. Zhou Hongwei has been in the United States for more than three years and has a very good understanding of the American people.

Although the people who make Americans so amazing in China are all saints with infinite qualities, the Americans are actually quite anti-intellectuals and are very fragile, so Zhou Hongwei knew that acquiring Microsoft at this time would definitely cause great disgust among the Americans.

So when Zhou Hongwei received the order from Boss Jia to cooperate with his acquisition of Microsoft, he immediately raised objections, but Boss Jia did not listen at all and insisted on his own, so he fell into this embarrassing situation now.

Although there are rumors that Daqian has bought several more shares in his hands and now owns nearly 50% of Microsoft's shares, Daqian actually only gets 20% of the shares he earns from the bottom of the stock market.

Now, it has become extremely difficult for Daqian to continue to buy shares in Microsoft.

"All the fund companies we contacted have made it very clear that they cannot sell Microsoft's shares to us against the wishes of the American people. At the same time, they also think that the price is not appropriate!" Zhou Hongwei, as the general person in charge of the acquisition, reported to Boss Jia.

"I understand, what is really important is the next sentence. They are not satisfied with the price!" Boss Jia in the video said lightly.

"Yes, for these capitalists on Wall Street, there is nothing that cannot be sold in the world, as long as the price is right!" Zhou Hongwei nodded.

"Then what price do they ask for?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Although they did not offer a price, almost everyone told me that they believed that Microsoft's market value three months ago was the real value of this company!" Zhou Hongwei said with a wry smile.

"Three months ago? Before Anran had thundered yet?" Boss Jia laughed in silence.

Three months ago, Microsoft's stock price was still the peak of the past year, with a market value of US$200 billion, about 7 times the current total market value.

These foundations actually hope to buy Microsoft shares at a seven-fold premium, which is so funny!

"We will never accept this price!" Boss Jia said without hesitation.

"Then what should we do next?" Zhou Hongwei asked for instructions.

"Continue to talk!" Boss Jia smiled slightly, "but he killed the total market value of US$50 billion to make the acquisition, and it would not be possible to have a penny more!"

"Chairman, IMHO, this is too far from their psychological price, and they will not agree. If we insist on acquiring, I am confident that I can..."
