Chapter 761

.

Xia Xia's time, May 68th, 78: 55 AM. The corresponding time in Lijian Province was 66: 55 AM.

AMD was a high-tech company in Lijian Province. It occupied a very important position in the entire Lijian Province. Even though AMD's products were not as good as Intel's in terms of performance and quality. However, AMD had a price advantage and occupied a considerable share of the market.

Even some classified defense industries in Lijian Province used AMD's products.

If AMD were to be acquired by Xia Xia's company, regardless of whether it was Dream Entertainment or not, the Lijian Province government would be the first to object. Fortunately, thanks to Lijian Province's laws, Shi Lei could find a variety of ways to avoid the acquisition risk. He could successfully achieve the legal conditions for the acquisition of AMD and avoid the interference of the Lijian Province government.

The Lijian Province government's influence in the acquisition of a multinational company was not very strong. The Lijian Province government did not have as much power as Xia Xia's government. At most, they could cause a certain amount of trouble. If this happened to Xia Xia, the acquisition would be stopped with just a few words from Xia Xia's government.

The second seed that prevented AMD from being acquired was AMD's arch-rival, Intel. In fact, AMD was basically Intel's underling. They used AMD as a green leaf to set off the red flower.

If AMD's product did not perform so badly, how could Intel's product prove its excellence? The market needed competitors in order to determine the quality of products. If Intel's product was the only one, there was no difference between good and bad. There was no choice and no comparison.

In Lijian Province, two influential newspapers, and , stood up to report on Dream Entertainment and AMD. Another influential newspaper also stood up to report on Dream Entertainment's acquisition of AMD. This influential newspaper in Lijian Province was . It was still the villain.

…

Regarding the Wall Street Journal's report that Dream Entertainment is acquiring AMD, does Intel know about this?

As we all know, Intel is not only AMD's direct competitor, but it is also AMD's controlling shareholder. Although Intel did not directly control AMD's shares, according to Wall Street sources, Intel controlled about 60% of AMD's shares.

If Dream Entertainment wanted to acquire AMD, they would be directly suppressed by Intel. According to an anonymous expert's estimation, Dream Entertainment's total assets were about five billion USD. Its liquidity was three billion USD. The total value of its parent company, Mirage Technology, and its subsidiaries other than Dream Entertainment was about three billion USD. Their liquidity was unknown at the moment. Altogether, Mira Technology's total assets were about eight billion USD.

However, Intel's total assets were more than 675 billion US dollars, and its liquidity was more than 75 billion US dollars. Furthermore, it could withdraw more than 85 billion US dollars in low-interest loans from major banks in Lijian Province at any time. If Intel wanted to suppress Dream Entertainment, it would be a piece of cake.

Intel could even maliciously compete with Dream Entertainment. They could invest a small amount of liquidity to stop Dream Entertainment from acquiring AMD's shares.

With Intel's 75 billion USD liquidity, it would be difficult for Dream Entertainment to defeat Intel with the three billion USD that they had borrowed. Intel might even use up their liquidity and drag down Dream Entertainment's development.

Whether the force that acquired AMD's shares was Dream Entertainment or not, we represent Intel to question this!

Intel must agree to acquire AMD's acquisition!

…

The New York Times was obviously on Intel's side. Even Intel itself hadn't said anything, but the New York Times couldn't wait to represent Intel and make an arrogant declaration to the world.

However, was right about one thing. Did they ask Intel before acquiring AMD?

Under the cover of Izur's repeated transactions, Dream Entertainment secretly acquired 95% of AMD's shares. Other than Izur's excellent logic program, it was also because the shares in circulation on the NASDAQ stock exchange did not exceed 05%. Intel was not worried that AMD's shares would be controlled by Intel.

However, after various media reports, Intel shifted their attention to AMD. Even Dream Entertainment only lacked 7% of AMD's shares to achieve absolute control. However, this 7% of shares was like a divine punishment. It blocked Dream Entertainment's path.

Following 's report on behalf of Intel, also reported on AMD's acquisition.

was located in Washington, the capital of Lijian Province. Some reporters and editors had a close relationship with the political world. Whenever the government of Lijian Province had something inconvenient to express, they would report some 'insider' news through .

In Lijian Province, the 'insider news' reported by usually represented the position of the government of Lijian Province. It was the weather vane of the government of Lijian Province and was well-liked by the political world.

Regarding the acquisition of AMD, reported as follows:

…

Acquisition of AMD by a mysterious force? This was a huge joke because the government of Lijian Province does not agree!

News circulated on the NASDAQ stock exchange and Wall Street. Regarding the acquisition of AMD, our reporter obtained some special insider news.

Whether or not the acquirer was Mr. Xia's Dream Entertainment, this acquisition could not be executed. The government of Lijian Province would not allow AMD to fall into the hands of others.

Lijian Province's defense industry used a considerable portion of AMD's products, including custom chips and system design plans. If AMD were to fall into the hands of foreign forces, the secrets of Lijian Province's defense industry might be leaked along with AMD.

In order to prevent this from happening, the government of Lijian Province would pass a bill to restrict the acquisition of AMD. Moreover, the government of Lijian Province would provide AMD with a certain amount of interest-free loans to help AMD tide over this difficult period.

If AMD were to inevitably go bankrupt in the end, the government of Lijian Province would step forward to acquire AMD and turn AMD into a government-controlled company.

…

The report by clearly expressed the attitude of the government of Lijian Province. The government of Lijian Province did not allow AMD to be acquired by foreign forces. They did not even hesitate for the government to step in and interfere with the operation of the capital market.

In fact, in any institutional environment, the existence of state-owned enterprises was unavoidable. It was just that the nature of state-owned enterprises was different. In the capital market environment, the state of a state-owned enterprise only represented a shareholder. A shareholder who did not have any special rights was like the other shareholders.

For example, when the government of Lijian Province acquired 15% of General Motors' shares and restructured General Motors, they only played the role of a shareholder and did not play the role of a manager. Let the market decide the operation of the company, and not impose the system of the government on the operation of the company.

and were two influential newspapers. After they reported on the acquisition of AMD, AMD's shares immediately skyrocketed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. AMD's shares were highly valued by major investors, or it could be said that there was a force behind it that was promoting AMD's shares.

Originally, AMD's shares were no longer in circulation on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Izur automatically judged the current situation. After he could not suppress AMD's shares, he stopped internal sales and purchases. AMD's shares were zero in circulation on the Nasdaq stock exchange. This caused AMD's shares to be in short supply. The price of AMD's shares quickly broke through 0.5 USD per share and continued to climb without any intention of stopping.

Xia Xia, Shuangqing City.

Shi Lei used Izur to check the information from and . His face was very pale. His original plan was to acquire AMD secretly and not be discovered by Intel and the Lijian Province government.

But the result was obvious that he had failed!

Both Intel and the Lijian Province government knew about Dream Entertainment's intentions. Even if there was no evidence to prove that Dream Entertainment was acquiring AMD's shares on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

But Intel and the Lijian Province government did not need any concrete evidence. They only needed to suspect that it was Dream Entertainment, and that was enough!

"Shit!" Shi Lei cursed.

"Izur, how is the acquisition of Mu Shuang and Xiao Bo going?" Shi Lei asked Izur.

Izur's disguised identity was Qin Lan. She was directly involved in the acquisition of AMD. That was why Izur knew about the latest progress. "Sir, Mu Shuang's acquisition on the Nasdaq stock exchange failed. There are no AMD shares for sale on the stock exchange. Xiao Bo's acquisition plan is currently on hold. There are no fixed investors willing to sell their AMD shares. "

Shi Lei was prepared for this outcome. But he still found it hard to accept!

"Offer me a high price! Throw money at them. I don't believe that no one will not sell! "Shi Lei pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said calmly.

A great man once said the ugly nature of capital. When there was a 75% profit, the capital would be tempted. When the profit reached 05%, the capital would take risks. When the profit reached 655%, the capital would dare to take the risk. When the profit reached 855%, the capital would dare to trample all the laws of the world!

If Shi Lei were to offer a premium of more than 855% over the NASDAQ stock market, wouldn't those greedy capitalists trample on the law of the world?

One of the benefits of the capital market is that you can buy everything with money.
