If Feng Yu wants to have a say in the Fruit Company, it will be difficult to acquire shares in the stock market. Without super voting rights, acquiring 10% of the company's shares might not even be as much as 0.1% of the company's shares.
Also, if Feng Yu wants to acquire the Fruit Company, he will face a lot of resistance. He might even help Bill Gates, and that will be a huge loss.
Feng Yu's plan now is to acquire some shares from a shareholder with voting rights and then rope in a few other shareholders or directors. He must not control the Fruit Company or let Bill Gates have the say in the company.
Feng Yu does not know any of the Fruit Company's directors as they are competitors in the past. But Feng Yu still knows a few of the Fruit Company's shareholders.
For example, the representatives of the US financial groups and the Rothschild Family. Feng Yu thought for a while. He is not close with those US financial groups' representatives and had just worked with the Rothschild Family. Maybe he can make use of them.
"Hello, Brown. It's me, Feng."
Brown Rothschild was stunned. Why is Feng Yu calling him?
Rito Group's acquisition had been completed, and the payments had been settled. Could it be that Feng Yu is interested in some European companies?
As for other areas of cooperation, Brown could not tell which companies Feng Yu is interested in. His family's bank is not as big as Feng Yu's bank, and their other financial companies are smaller than Feng Yu's.
Could it be their Lafite Winery? Feng Yu had heard that many Hua Xia people like red wine and like to invest in European wineries and vineyards.
Seems like Feng Yu likes the 1982 Lafite Winery he gave to Feng Yu. But they would not sell Chateau Lafite, nor could they sell it.
"Feng, are you calling me just for a chat?" Brown asked.
"Hahaha … chatting is not my main purpose. Do you want to earn more commission?"
Brown was overjoyed. Sure enough, Feng Yu still wanted to use the influence of the Rothschild family. However, he didn't know what industry Feng Yu wanted to acquire this time. Was it related to the government?
There must be some connection. If it wasn't the government that had a stake in it, then it must be the leader of a certain industry in the country. Otherwise, Feng Yu wouldn't need their help.
A car? Retail? Or food?
"It's good news to receive your call. We had a great time working together last time. I think you've experienced the quality of our family's service. Which company are you interested in this time? "
Brown was very confident. No matter what kind of business it was, his family would be able to think of a solution. Perhaps they might not be able to achieve Feng Yu's ultimate goal, but if their clan couldn't do it, other clans might not be able to.
"Fruit Company."
Cough cough cough ~
Brown almost choked on his cigar. Fruit Company? This is an American company.
The Rothschild Family has deep roots in Europe, but in the US, they are not as influential as the top 10 consortiums.
Furthermore, why did Feng Yu acquire the Fruit Company? The Fruit Company's main business and the number one company in the industry were all Feng Yu's subsidiaries. Although it's not a bad idea to acquire the Fruit Company, both companies are using different systems. If they merge, it will be troublesome, and their loyal fans will be gone.
Also, the Fruit Company has too many shareholders, and the shares are too scattered. It's not as easy to negotiate as Rito Tinto. Rito Tinto had considered selling their shares when BHP Billiton was about to acquire the Fruit Company. But after that, Polar Bear Minerals intervened and used cash to buy the shares.
But the Fruit Company is different. Their business model is unique, and they are considered a unique company in the IT industry. Although they are not outstanding in any areas, they are not weak in any areas.
Those shareholders have no intention of selling their shares, and it's too difficult to acquire them. The Rothschild Family might not be able to earn this amount.
"Feng, the Fruit Company is a US company, and my family's channels might not be enough for you to acquire it."
"I did not say I want to acquire the Fruit Company. I only want to acquire some of the voting shares and enter the board of directors. This should not be too difficult, right?"
Feng Yu also does not want to acquire the Fruit Company. Although the Fruit Company is doing well, it overlaps with his business. Masao Kameda's suggestion of splitting the Fruit Company's businesses is feasible, but it is only in theory. What about the brand losses after splitting the Fruit Company's businesses? The Fruit Company's advantage will be gone.
This will turn a high-quality asset into a low-quality asset. Masao Kameda can also turn the Fruit Company into an average asset, and there will not be any losses. But it's not necessary. It's better to invest in other industries.
Masao Kameda is considering what to do after he acquires the Fruit Company. If he does not acquire the Fruit Company, it will be better to prevent Bill Gates and the rest from acquiring the Fruit Company.
Brown does not understand what Feng Yu is trying to do. Acquire some voting shares and enter the Fruit Company's board of directors? What's the point of getting a stake in a company that is not as good as his own company? Could it be that the Fruit Company had developed a new product that threatened Feng Yu?
"Feng, can I think about this? I will call you back in 2 hours."
After hanging up, Brown immediately asked his men to investigate the Fruit Company. Someone in his family is also a shareholder of the Fruit Company, and he immediately called to ask about the Fruit Company's recent activities.
What?! Bill Gates wants to buy the Fruit Company's shares and even wants to replace Jobs as the Chairman and CEO of the Fruit Company?
Brown finally understands what Feng Yu is trying to do. If Bill Gates controls the Fruit Company, it will be bad news for Feng Yu's subsidiaries.
Microsoft and Fruit Company can compete with Lenovo Group and Lenovo Kingsoft. Although Fruit Company is not as big as Lenovo Group, it has a wide range of products.
Feng Yu is trying to stop this from happening. That's why he wants to enter the board of directors?
That means Feng Yu needs more supporters on the board of directors. But this time, his competitor is Bill Gates, and it might not be easy.
The competition between the former World's Richest Man and the current World's Richest Man will be interesting.
It was not that this matter could not be done, but Feng Yu needed to think about how much commission would be appropriate. He could also add a condition. If he could not get the deal done, he could still get commission if he stopped Bill Gates from getting the deal.
