Chapter 161 Acquisition of Osborne

"Lee Stan Initiates a Takeover Offer, Aiming to Privatize the Osborne Group"

Early the next morning, a piece of news caused quite a stir, but this was something that many people expected.

That afternoon, Li Si brought a group of people to the downstairs of the Osborne Building aggressively.

Li Si himself was in the lead, followed by Pepper Potts, followed by more than a dozen financial and legal consultants, all dressed as elites.

"Mr. Li Stan, please come inside."

A small shareholder, a middle-aged white man who is also one of Osborne's management staff, greeted Li Si and others with a smile on his face.

"Ah."

Li Si nodded, and then led a group of people straight in.

He has stayed in Osborne for a long time, so he is naturally not unfamiliar with it, and he doesn't need this small shareholder to lead the way, so he will go upstairs if he is familiar with the road.

"This is Li Stan? I feel so young."

"That's right, he was still my colleague before the cross-species genetics department was cancelled, sitting not far from me."

"He seems to be full. It's almost more popular than others. He has become the largest shareholder of our group."

"What are the major shareholders? Maybe in a few days our Osborne Group may change its name to the Li Stan Group."

"Instead of worrying about this, let's think about ourselves. I don't know if Li Stan will lay off staff after taking over. He is not very friendly to the Osborne Group."

"No way...he just wants to take revenge on the Osborn family and those directors for his friends Max Dylan and Dr. Curt Connors. What does it have to do with us..."

Li Si and others marched all the way, attracting the attention and whispering of many people along the way, until a group of people entered the elevator, the whispered discussions around disappeared without a trace, and the tranquility was restored.

Ding!
After about a few minutes, the elevator door opened, and a group of people came out.

Not far from the elevator is the conference room, and both sides of the long conference table inside are already filled with directors and senior managers of all sizes.

After Li Si came in, he sat down on the main seat at the end of the conference table without hesitation, while Pepper Potts and a series of personnel stood behind him temporarily.

"Long time no see, Mr. Storm, you don't seem to be looking very well today."

After Li Si sat down, he smiled and greeted Mendelstrom, who was in the first position on his right.

Mendelstrom grimaced and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Si didn't want to be bored any more, and raised his hand to let Pepper Potts direct the people to send the documents to everyone on the conference table, and then got straight to the point.

"I believe everyone is clear about my purpose, so let's not talk nonsense. I am going to buy back all of Osborne's shares at a premium of 20.00%. Let's start voting directly."

Li Si looked around, scanned everyone's faces one by one, and then said in a deep voice.

boom!
"Don't even think about it!"

Mendelstrom, who was already gloomy, couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the table and stood up, staring at Li Si with cold eyes.

After holding back for so many years, he survived Norman Osborn, and successfully drove the young Harry Osborn out of the group.

Originally, he was very proud of himself during this time. Although Osborne's stock price plummeted, he managed to control the Osborne Group after all.

But all of this was ruined by the young man in front of him.

It was the young man in front of him who was about the same age as Harry Osborn, but his years of forbearance and planning went to waste, and all the ducks in his mouth were snatched away.

boom!
There was a louder slap on the table than before, followed by a crackling sound.

"Mr. Storm, it seems that you are not only looking bad, but also not in good health. You don't even have the strength to slap the table."

Li Si stared at Mendelstrom with a smile, and slowly retracted his right hand that was slapped on the table.

The scene on the conference table in front of him made everyone present twitch.

A layer of glass with a thickness of four to five millimeters spread on the conference table was directly slapped with large cobweb-like cracks by this slap, and a large piece of the table corner was even cracked and fell to the ground.

A group of businessmen who usually rely on their mouths to eat have never seen such a posture before, and their expressions changed a little.

"Sorry to scare you all, I was just showing Mr. Storm the correct table-slapping posture."

Li Si looked as if he had just realized his mistake, and smiled and found a clumsy excuse to explain: "Accidentally exerted too much force...well, that's right, too much force."

"It's ok."

A group of directors echoed repeatedly, not to say that they were panicked, but their breathing was obviously a lot faster.

At this moment, Mendelstrom's forehead was also gradually covered with cold sweat. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was not a kind businessman, let alone a young man like Harry Osborn who allowed him to bully him.

Finally, with an ugly face, he sat down again in silence.

"Let's get straight to the point, everyone starts voting."

Li Si smiled and looked at everyone quietly.

"I reject."

The first to speak was still Mendelstrom. After speaking, he also looked at several shareholders next to him.

He didn't dare to act too aggressively, at least not when he was present in person, but it was obviously impossible for him to give up so easily.

Li Si naturally knew this, and he didn't intend to threaten with force. He just quietly waited for other hesitant shareholders to make a decision with a smile on his face.

It is useless for Mendelstrom to refuse alone. In addition, he now owns a full 40.00% of Osborne's shares in his hand, while Mendelstrom has at most 15.00%. Shareholders have no chance of stopping him.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Under Mendelstrom's unbelievable gaze, several directors around him hesitated for a moment and then directly agreed in a deep voice.

With a few people taking the lead, the other directors also nodded one after another, making a series of voices of agreement.

"Thank you for your support and cooperation."

A smile bloomed on Li Si's face.

This result was not beyond his expectation, in fact, it was already inevitable.

This large group of shareholders of Osborn has been screened out by Norman Osborn long ago, leaving behind all those investors who were eaten to death by him and only wanted to make money honestly.

Now Osborne's market value has shrunk by half, and even if Li Si gave up the acquisition, it may not be able to maintain half of it. Naturally, it is impossible for these people to die on Osborne, a ship that is about to capsize. The 20.00% premium acquisition has already It is a favorable condition beyond imagination.

Moreover, those top shareholders who are close to Mendelstrom have also been interviewed by Li Si before. As long as they agree to acquire, Li Si's 5.00% of Stark Group's shares will be theirs.

On the one hand, there is Osborne with an unknown future, and on the other hand, there is an acquisition with a premium of 20.00% and a 5.00% stake in the Stark Group. Any fool knows how to choose.

Now the Stark Group is in full swing with the rise of Iron Man. I don’t know how many people want to get involved. The 5.00% stake is at least more than 100 billion, and with this 5.00% stake, it can at least enter Sri Lanka. For Tucker's management, the implied value is not comparable to simply 100 billion.

"Miss Potts, the next thing is up to you."

After signaling Pepper Potts to take charge of the next tasks, Li Si stood up with a happy face.

Although the price he paid was not small, he was obviously in a good mood at this time.

He has no interest in the Stark Group, and those shares in his hands are just some money, and it is definitely not a loss in exchange for the successful privatization of Osborne. These shares are bought for this purpose, and he does not want to There are a group of thorny heads in the company who are gesticulating.

As for whether this group of people will share these shares equally or sell them or join together to make trouble in the Stark Group, this is none of his business. Anyway, the board of directors of the Stark Group is also complicated, and it doesn’t itch if there are too many lice .
