Chapter 828: Zhang Yiming Prepares to Start the Poison Pill Plan

Chapter 828 Zhang Yiming Prepares to Launch the Poison Pill Project

Now Zhang Yiming can't wait to strip Zhang Nansheng alive, it's all because of his small mistake that made the current situation so difficult.

In fact, Yang Chen deliberately raised the quotation to 150 billion rice gold before, because he was sure that even if Zhang Yiming sold all his belongings, he would not be able to acquire the shares held by other shareholders.

But if they don't repurchase the equity in the shareholders' hands, they will sell it to Yang Chen at a high price.

Repurchase, no money.

If you don't repurchase, there will be endless troubles.

Now Zhang Yiming is really in a dilemma, he doesn't know what to do.

At this time, the representative of Softbank clearly said to Zhang Yiming: "Mr. Zhang, our headquarters sent an order, clearly requesting me to go through the equity transfer procedures as soon as possible, and sell all the 4.5% Douyin shares we hold to Mr. Yang Chen. All, I'm sorry, I can't continue discussing with you here, I have to start to do it now. Zhang Dong, everyone, leave."

Zhang Yiming quickly stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute, give me some time to think about it. Even if I want to buy back the shares in your hands, you must give me time to raise money, right?"

The Softbank representative replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I may not have made it clear just now, so you didn't understand. Let me tell you again. The headquarters ordered me to contact Mr. Yang Chen immediately to transfer all the 4.5% equity we hold. Sell ​​it to him. There is no room for negotiation, this is an order from the headquarters, and I can only execute it unconditionally. Does Mr. Zhang understand what I mean?"

To put it bluntly, Softbank informed Zhang Yiming that they were going to sell the equity to Yang Chen, instead of reporting or discussing with him.

SoftBank representatives left immediately.

Zhang Yiming was furious, and immediately called Boss Sun of Softbank.

He had to ask why Softbank was so unfeeling, leaving him no room for negotiation.

Soon, the call was connected.

In fact, Boss Sun didn't want to answer the call, but thinking that he might invest in Zhang Yiming's company in the future, there was no need to make the relationship deadlocked, so he still answered the phone.

Boss Sun: "Haha... Zhang Dong, what do you want to tell me? Is there any good project?"

Zhang Yiming replied angrily: "Don't you know why I called you? Let me ask you, why didn't you leave me any room for negotiation and just sold the equity to Yang Chen? You just know that I don't want to Repurchase?"

Boss Sun replied helplessly: "Zhang Dong, you misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want to leave room for you, but I really dare not leave room for you. To tell you the truth, Yang Chen found Yamaguchi and Xin Daochuan The presidents of the two groups came to ask me for equity. I didn’t want to give them face. After all, Softbank is not a vegetarian, so there is no need to be afraid of them. But they are really annoying. They send people to sweep us 24 hours a day employees and family members. You also know the nature of these two groups. Our serious business company really can’t afford them. It just so happens that Yang Chen paid a lot of money this time, and we really can’t find a reason not to sell it to him. I hope that Mr. Zhang can forgive me a lot, and I hope you can understand my situation and choice. If there is another opportunity in the future, we, Softbank, will definitely continue to invest in Mr. Zhang’s business.”

Zhang Yiming was stunned, he couldn't figure out that Yang Chen still had close ties with companies like Shankou and Xin Inagawa.

If it is really what Boss Sun said, Softbank really has to sell the equity to Yang Chen quickly.

On the one hand, it can prevent Yamaguchi and Shin Inagawa from continuing to harass their employees and their families.

On the other hand, they can get more than 3 times the income immediately.

So, why didn't they sell the equity to Yang Chen?

"Okay, I got it!" Zhang Yiming said helplessly and angrily.

Then, he hung up the phone.

Seeing Zhang Yiming's decadent look, the shareholders knew that he had a bad conversation with Boss Sun.

Softbank's investment vision is still very good, especially in the investment of some Internet technology companies, basically never missed.

Ali Baba, which they invested in before, made a lot of money.

This time they invested in Douyin, and they made a lot of money again.

The other shareholders couldn't hold back the impulse in their hearts.

They want to follow Softbank Group and quickly sell the shares of Douyin.

Representative of Tiger Fund: "Mr. Zhang, please give us a clear answer now, whether you can repurchase our equity. If you can't give a clear answer, then we can sell the equity to Yang just like Softbank. It's time. There's no way, he's offering too much, and we really can't refuse."

Representative of Yuntou Fund: "Yes, it is meaningless to procrastinate like this. We gave Zhang Dong the priority to buy back, but if you don't seize the opportunity, then we can only say sorry. Let's say sorry for some troubles in control."

Representative of Sequoia Capital: "I also don't think it is necessary to procrastinate like this. Whether to repurchase shares or not, in fact, Chairman Zhang can make a decision now. Our time is precious, and I hope that Chairman Zhang will make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to waste everyone time in this useless procrastination."

Zhang Yiming never thought that there would be such a day, he would be forced to be like this by the shareholders.

However, as the chairman of a large group, Zhang Yiming is also a decisive person.

Since there is no money to acquire all the equity held by other shareholders, how about acquiring part of the head office?

Since Yang Chen can't be prevented from becoming a shareholder, then try to let him buy as little equity as possible.

Yang Chen bought all the equity in the hands of other shareholders, theoretically he could acquire 49% of the equity.

Zhang Yiming decided to buy about 16% of the shares from other shareholders, leaving Yang Chen with a maximum of 33% of the shares.

In this way, Zhang Yiming himself and his concerted actors will hold 67% of the equity, and will achieve absolute control of Douyin.

what does that mean?

It means that Zhang Yiming can make any proposal without Yang Chen's consent, and he can make his own decision.

In this way, Zhang Yiming can dilute Yang Chen's 33% equity by absorbing other shareholders or issuing additional equity.

On the premise that the company's valuation has not increased significantly, the equity held by Yang Chen has been diluted to even less, which means that the equity in his hand has depreciated.

Even if Douyin's valuation is really raised to 150 billion in gold in the future, the equity held by Yang Chen will not be able to sell the money he spent before.

I have to say that Zhang Yiming is indeed a smart person, but Yang Chen is not bad, not worse than his business acumen.

Yang Chen can certainly think of the problems that Zhang Yiming can think of.

When Zhang Yiming held this shareholder meeting, Yang Chen had already called the headquarters of these shareholders.

If Zhang Yiming repurchases their shares, no matter what price he offers, Yang Chen is willing to buy them at a premium of 20%.

Therefore, Zhang Yiming wants to repurchase 16% of the shares to ensure that he has absolute control over Douyin, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

It's just that he didn't know it himself, and thought his poison pill plan was perfect.
