"Ladies and gentlemen, Da Qian's attitude is very firm. When he negotiated with us, he insisted on the price of 50 billion!" In a conference room on Wall Street, a group of elites in suits and leather shoes were holding a meeting.
"That's right. We are in the same situation!"
"Yes. Us too!"
The people attending this meeting are the foundations that own Microsoft shares. They are gathered here to discuss how to sell their Microsoft shares to the Daqian at the highest price.
"As far as I know, Mr. Jia has given a death order this time. The bottom line is 50 billion USD, not a penny more. However, we can't give up on the negotiation. We have to keep negotiating until we give up!" A fund manager said.
"It seems that Mr. Jia wants to play delaying tactics with us. He wants to drag us down!" Another fund manager snorted. "Hua Xia is too arrogant. How can Microsoft be priced at 50 billion USD? If they had not made use of the Securities and Exchange Commission to destroy Enron, Microsoft would still be worth 200 billion USD!"
"That's right. Our bottom price is only 100 billion USD. It's only 200 billion USD. Hua Xia wants to lower the price by 50%. Stop dreaming!"
"If he wants to stall for time, there is no need for us to negotiate with them. Let's just reject the negotiations!"
All the managers present were angrily denouncing Da Qian, but there were only a few people who really proposed to refuse the negotiation. These fund managers know that Microsoft's reputation is almost destroyed after the two major incidents.
On the other hand, Da Qian's Hongmeng System had been making great progress. It now occupied 30% of the global market. The most frightening thing was that 80% of all new computer users had chosen to install the Hongmeng System. Many computer vendors had also installed the Hongmeng System by default.
The Daqian Group had announced that as long as the PC company had pre-installed the Hongmeng operating system or recommended the Hongmeng operating system to their customers, they will lower the price.
Do not belittle this price. For many PC companies, whose cost is a few billion USD, this price is equivalent to tens of millions of USD in profits. Who can reject these cute little things?
Because of these tactics, the Hongmeng operating system had replaced Microsoft's position in the new PC market. Microsoft's Windows operating system will lose its market share in another ten years. At that time, Microsoft might not even have 10 billion USD worth of market value.
This is the reason why these fund managers are gathered here. They want to discuss how to sell Microsoft shares to the Daqian at 100 billion USD and not reject the Daqian.
"Everyone, the Daqian can control the price of 50 billion USD is because Microsoft's market value is only 30 billion USD. Why don't we make some moves and increase Microsoft's market value?!"
"The whole country is supporting Microsoft now, and we can push the blame of the rising share prices to these angry patriots. This way, the Daqian will be afraid that Microsoft will rise again. They will surely accept our price!"
"But we should give in. Let's set the price at 90 billion USD. The Daqian will see us giving in, and they will give in too!" A fund manager suggested, and the rest of the fund managers nodded and cheered. They all think this is a good idea.
"No, we can't lower the price." Suddenly, a leisurely voice sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and their gazes immediately became somewhat respectful.
"Mr. Magician, why do you say that?" Everyone asked in confusion. Among the fund managers, the only one who could pretend to be a magician was Mr. Harry Potter.
"Because this will expose our guilty conscience!" Harry Potter said faintly, "I know very well how sharp his sense of smell is, how fast his movements are, and how cunning he is!"
"Once we give in, Jia Yapeng will definitely understand that we are secretly manipulating him. These are just means to force him to give in. He will be able to see our lack of confidence through these actions. At that time, don't expect him to pay a high price."
"I see!" Everyone had an expression of admiration on their faces as they marveled at Harry Potter's wisdom.
"Then what should we do?" Someone asked.
"Let's let Microsoft share prices rise first!" Harry Potter laughed. "But we cannot give in. On the contrary, we must raise the price to 120 billion USD!"
"How do you think the Daqian will react at that time?"
"The Daqian will be anxious and will follow us to raise the base price." Someone said excitedly.
"That's not necessarily true. What if Da Qian thinks that the price is too expensive and gives up completely?" Someone objected.
"So, this is the third step of my plan!" Harry Potter smiled. "We will send someone to contact the Daqian secretly and tell him that we are willing to sell our shares to the Daqian for 90 billion USD. What do you think the Daqian will do?"
"They will not let go of this opportunity!" Everyone's eyes widen.
"That's right. The Daqian will think that 90 billion USD is a reasonable price to pay, and he will buy the shares to prevent any accidents."
"Once this news is leaked, all of you will sell your Microsoft shares to Da Qian for 90 billion USD. Isn't this a matter of course?" Harry Potter said with a smug smile. "Jia Yapeng will be proud of himself. He will think it is the United States' bad habits that allowed him to buy Microsoft shares at a lower price."
"But he will never know that 90 billion USD is the price we want to sell our shares at. This is just a trick to fool him!"
"Great! Great plan! " Everyone was amazed by Harry Potter's plan and started to work on the details.
Of course, there are problems with this plan. For example, the first person to sell his shares is the most important. After all, the first person to sell his shares will have a higher chance of selling his shares. But the rest of the shares will be rejected by Boss Jia.
"That's why I suggest that no matter who sells his shares, the shares and funds sold will be split among all of us. This way, there will be no one who runs away first!" Mr. Harry Potter had once again come up with an ingenious idea, which won the praise of everyone once again!
