Jade Building, Dream Entertainment's new temporary headquarters.
In Mu Shuang's office, Shi Lei asked Mu Shuang about the progress of AMD's acquisition plan.
"Shi Lei, as we have executed our initial plan very well, and we have repeatedly suppressed AMD's stock price in the later stages, we have obtained a total of 96.9% of AMD's shares. Among them, 5.69% of the shares were left over from the previous plan, and the average purchase price was 8.08 USD per share. As for the other 95% of the shares, the average purchase price was 6.39 USD per share, and the total cost was about 088 million USD. We have sufficient funds left! "Mu Shuang briefly explained the progress of AMD's acquisition.
"More than 95%?" Shi Lei looked at Mu Shuang in surprise.
If Shi Lei remembered correctly, AMD's total share capital was 279 million shares, and 70% of them were in the hands of AMD's senior management, and the remaining 20% were in the stock market.
However, the 20% of the shares in circulation were divided into three groups. 95% of the shares were held by fixed investors, 60% of the shares were in the hands of speculators, and only 75% of the shares were in the hands of the NASDAQ stock exchange and were freely traded.
In other words, AMD's fixed investors had started to dump AMD's shares. Otherwise, Dream Entertainment would not have held more than 95% of the shares. After all, speculators and freely traded shares only added up to 80%!
"Yes! To be exact, 95.69%! Two hundred and ninety six million shares are distributed among over three hundred accounts! " Mu Shuang's face was full of smiles, and she said in a surprised tone, "Shi Lei, who is Qin Lan? How powerful is his team? Without Qin Lan, although our acquisition plan would have been successful, we would have had to pay at least 05% more. "
Qin Lan was naturally Izur!
Izur was an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system. Although he did not have the ability to innovate independently, and did not have subjective emotions, it was not that Izur was stupid. On the contrary, Izur was very 'smart' with the combination of the deep natural logic thinking module and the automatic induction learning and judgment module.
"Qin Lan's team is very powerful! If it wasn't for the authorization from the head office, I wouldn't have been able to mobilize his team, "Shi Lei said with a smile. He didn't reveal the existence of Izur. "Mu Shuang, if we continue to receive more than 65% of the shares, will we have absolute control over AMD?"
"That's right!" Mu Shuang nodded. "However, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while. There are no AMD shares for sale on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. If it weren't for our team buying and selling shares to suppress the share price, I'm afraid AMD's share price would have started to rebound. "
"Find fixed investors! Giving them an offer they couldn't refuse! I don't want to wait too long and cause unnecessary trouble, "Shi Lei said.
Shi Lei prepared 8 billion USD for the first round of speculating on AMD's shares. He even made more than 355 million USD. The current acquisition of 95.69% of the shares only cost about 055 million USD. Shi Lei could definitely afford to lose more!
"Shi Lei, if Dream Entertainment were to acquire AMD's shares, those fixed investors would definitely not sell to us," Mu Shuang said hesitantly.
Shi Lei picked up the pen on his desk and wrote a phone number on a sticky note. Then, he pushed the sticky note to Mu Shuang. "Call this number. I've already instructed this person to go to Lijian Province to set up a branch of Dream Entertainment. I'll let him handle the setting up of the branch while negotiating with AMD's fixed investors. I believe that with this person's ability, he will definitely be able to win over AMD's fixed investors. Before the branch of Dream Entertainment is set up, he won't have any background in Dream Entertainment and won't be suspected of being a member of Dream Entertainment. "
Lingyumo looked at Shi Lei from the side. She knew that Shi Lei was talking about Mr. Xiao. With Mr. Xiao's skills, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to get this done.
Mu Shuang tore off the sticky note and pasted it on the work memo. "Okay, I'll take care of this matter."
Shi Lei nodded. "The acquisition of AMD is very important. We can't afford any mistakes. We can give the other party a high price. Even if the other party asks for 65 USD per share, we can agree to it! "
Mu Shuang looked at Shi Lei in surprise. "Okay!"
Shi Lei looked at Mu Shuang approvingly. Shi Lei was very satisfied with the implementation of the acquisition of AMD up until now. "Beautiful ladies, it's getting late. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting the two of you to dinner?"
As he spoke, Shi Lei got down from his desk. His left hand was behind his back and his right hand was placed in front of his chest. He bowed slightly, looking like a gentleman.
Lingyumo chuckled. "Stone Monster, what are you going to take us to eat?"
"Don't eat hot pot. Don't eat Western food!" Mu Shuang ruled out some options. They had just eaten hot pot at noon. For the sake of her skin, Mu Shuang decisively rejected the idea of having hot pot continuously.
As for Western food? It would be more romantic if there were two people!
There was no other Western restaurant near Shuanghu District better than Palando's Italian Restaurant. Back then, Shi Lei had bragged to the owner of Palando's Italian Restaurant, Cesare, that Mu Shuang and Lingyumo were both his girlfriends. Although Shi Lei had said it in Italian, Mu Shuang also understood Italian.
This embarrassing incident caused Mu Shuang to not want Shi Lei to take her and Lingyumo to Palando's Western Restaurant.
Shi Lei scratched his head and suggested, "How about we eat sauerkraut chicken? We haven't been to Old Jiang's place in a long time. Let's go see that old guy! "
"Okay, okay! I like it! "Lingyumo clapped her hands.
Just as Lingyumo was clapping her hands, her phone rang. Lingyumo took out her phone and her expression changed. She glanced at Shi Lei and finally pressed the answer button.
"Lingyumo, why didn't you come home when you returned to Shuangqing City?" Ling Yuguo's serious voice came from the phone.
As the director of the Western Headquarters of the Internet Security Bureau, it wasn't difficult for Ling Yuguo to get Lingyumo's phone number. After Lingyumo had gotten a new number, it was quickly found by the Western Headquarters of the Internet Security Bureau.
Lingyumo pouted. "Dad! I knew I couldn't hide it from you! "As she answered Ling Yuguo, she looked at Shi Lei with an aggrieved expression.
Shi Lei walked to Lingyumo's side with a calm smile on his face. He gestured for Lingyumo to give him the phone. After taking the phone with his right hand, Shi Lei raised the phone to his right ear.
"Lingyumo, do you know how worried your mother and I were about you? I don't care where you are now, whether you're with Shi Lei or not. Come back immediately. I'll wait for you in the station. "Ling Yuguo's tone was very serious and unquestionable.
"Ahem! I'm sorry, Director Ling. It's me. "Shi Lei coughed twice and replied softly.
"Shi Lei!" Ling Yuguo snorted. "Let Lingyumo answer the phone!"
"Director Ling, shouldn't you be more polite to your daughter's savior? As far as I know, this kidnapping was caused by you, right? " Am I right? "Shi Lei said politely, but the content was not polite at all.
"You!" Ling Yuguo said angrily. "Shi Lei, you're now in the Jade Building. I don't think you want me to send someone to pick up Lingyumo, right? I'll give you two choices. Either you let Lingyumo come to the station herself, or you send her here. "
Shi Lei looked at Lingyumo's worried face and showed a helpless expression. He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, you're the director. You have the final say. I'll come with Little Ink. But dinner is on you. "
After saying that, Shi Lei hung up the phone without waiting for Ling Yuguo to get angry. He returned the phone to Lingyumo.
Lingyumo said excitedly, "Stone Monster, you actually hung up on Old Stubborn. I think Old Stubborn must be in his office and throwing a tantrum!"
At this moment, Lingyumo no longer had the temperament of a girl-next-door. She was completely a naughty girl!
Shi Lei nodded and then looked at Mu Shuang apologetically. "I'm sorry, dear Mu Shuang. I think our dinner plans have to be canceled. Director Ling Yuguo wants to see his daughter. I need to send Little Ink over. "
Mu Shuang blushed when Shi Lei called her "dear." Lingyumo looked at Mu Shuang, her eyes twinkling. No one knew what she was thinking.
Shi Lei did not give the two beauties time to think. He clapped his hands and continued, "Two beautiful ladies, perhaps we can postpone our dinner plans until tomorrow. How about that?"
Mu Shuang nodded. "Mm, no problem. Tonight, I have to discuss with Qin Lan how to acquire AMD's shares. If we can acquire from the stock market, I prefer to do so. Once we get in touch with the fixed investors, if the news leaks, the acquisition of AMD may be delayed. "
"Mm, I'll leave this matter to you!" Shi Lei replied. He then patted Lingyumo's arm lightly and said in a teasing tone, "Little Ink, let's go. Let's face your scary father together!"
Lingyumo revealed a crescent-shaped smile. "Sure!"
The two of them walked out of Mu Shuang's office one after the other. Mu Shuang looked at their backs and felt a sense of loneliness.
"Shi Lei, are you hinting to us that you won't give up on her and want to have me?" Mu Shuang thought with a complicated expression. She then dialed Xiao Bo's number that Shi Lei had left behind.
On the other side, in the white Porsche Cayenne, Lingyumo asked, "Stone Monster, how do you plan to persuade my stubborn father?"
