"Why did Summit reject my offer?" She followed Marcos towards the door and asked as she walked.

Although the whole thing reveals a touch of weirdness.

Why did he invite her to watch this "good show"?

But sure enough, it's more important to have something to do with your own money-making plans.

She suddenly thought of something, raised her eyebrows and said mockingly: "Mr. Manager, who doesn't have much money, do you want me to treat you to dinner?"

Marcos knew what she was implying as soon as he heard it.

His eyes met her: "I invite you."

The two stopped the taxi and walked away.

Behind them, the blonde beauty at the front desk lowered her head and sent messages in a certain chat group.

——Didn't you see that the faces of the bosses are all frozen, what are the origins of these two people?

——I just saw it and thought it was the company's new star, but I couldn't think of where I saw it, but when I came in and said that I was the chairman, I was scared to pee~ But he is so handsome!

——Have you received any new materials?The first request he made to the company was to lay off 10% of its staff. I think I may be one of them. Let me be quiet first...

——So ruthless!The bosses agreed?

——I seem to agree, what should I do?All my credit cards exploded!exploded!

……

CAA's internal gossip group is still whispering, Yan Ruxin and Marcos have already arrived at Restaurant A.

a means "making small shoes" in Italian, and it is also a slang term——

Indicates that a person uses a small piece of bread to wipe off all the sauce left on the plate.

It expresses the deliciousness of the food very expressively, and I don't want to waste a drop.

The environment of the restaurant is very good, although it is noon, but you can also see many well-dressed Hollywood celebrities and elites from all walks of life come here to eat.

They chose a more private corner to sit, and Marcos took off his sunglasses and put them aside.

After ordering the meal, Yan Ruxin bit the pre-dinner bread, and continued to ask questions about the acquisition of the summit.

"I dealt with Robert Friedman last year, and he came to Goldman Sachs with a plan." Marks commented, "Aspiring, skilled, and experienced businessman."

"So he found another investment to relieve the recent pressure?" Yan Ruxin asked.

Marcos shook his head: "Bank of America has already started the formal acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Robert probably also saw that Merrill Lynch's situation is not good, so he has no time to take care of him."

"It turns out that this is the case, so the debt crisis has eased, at least until the dust of the bidding is settled before the debt can be settled, and Robert has high market expectations for "Twilight", and he probably wants to give it a go. "Yan Ruxin frowned.

"In this situation, do you still want to acquire Summit?" Marcos asked meaningfully.

Yan Ruxin weighed it up. If "Twilight" can really become a dark horse according to her intuition, then even if the current market price is 15%, it will be easy to find another home and sell at a premium, at least it will make a small profit. a sum.

This is still the worst-case scenario—she can only obediently follow the request made by Fengfeng now.

If she uses some tricks to suppress Dingfeng's current stock price, she still hopes to buy it at a lower price.

"Yes." After thinking about it, she nodded greatly.

"Then... it can only be a hostile takeover." Marcos's thin lips curled up slightly, seeming very happy, "I can offer 5000 million US dollars to support your acquisition of Summit."

"Aren't you not optimistic about Fengfeng?" Yan Ruxin was taken aback for a moment, then met his dark blue eyes calmly.

$5000 million is no small sum.

"Aren't you very optimistic?" He didn't explain the reason, picked up his wine glass and took a sip, and asked back.

She raised her eyebrows, noncommittal.

What is certain is that with the addition of Marcos' large sum of money, she can do more than just take part of the shares of the top.

With a good operation, she can directly enter the board of directors, and it is possible to even take control.

However, the reason why she is optimistic about Fengfeng is because she has the unspeakable secret of "Angela's talent". How did he think about it?

"So... do you want the shares, or do you want me to pay you back at the interest rate?" Yan Ruxin tentatively asked.

"Shares." His thin lips curled up slightly.

Yan Ruxin's pupils narrowed slightly, and she looked at him probingly, but she couldn't see anything from his dim eyes.

He enjoyed his meal, as if this tens of millions of dollars of business was just an insignificant small transaction to him.

She frowned and thought about it carefully.

She can't get a loan from the bank now, which was a bit difficult at first, but the addition of a large amount of money gave her more leeway.

I don't know his purpose, but what's the point?

Anyway, everyone just wants to make money, and there is no loss for her.

At least for the time being, she hasn't discovered what trap he has set for her to jump.

……

In the next half a month or so.

With 1 million US dollars in hand, Yan Ruxin went to school and started a hostile takeover of Summit Entertainment in her spare time.

Naturally, as a thrifty and good citizen, she would not choose to buy at a high price, but would choose to come quietly.

But this "quietly" is not so friendly either.

She first contacted a public relations company and planned a series of plans that could lower Peak's stock price.After that, all the relevant media in the United States were full of news that was not good for the summit.Every piece of news is interlocking, echoing from beginning to end, as if it really happened.

Many of these news were discovered by private investigators hired by Yan Ruxin, and some of them were made out of excuses.But in any case, these true and false news are affecting sensitive markets.Not to mention today's background - the subprime mortgage crisis.

Peak's stock price plummeted.

All of a sudden, retail investors and small shareholders sold their stocks one after another.

Yan Ruxin holds a huge amount of funds, absorbing these low-priced stocks.

By the way, Yan Ruxin originally planned to entrust a writer who had worked with her before to make some hyped articles and publish them on major online media.

Unexpectedly, the aloof Mr. Marcos said that his old man was unwilling to accompany her to watch "Breaking Bad" with "old men running around naked all day long" after dinner.But at night, according to him, it is not part of working hours, and he does not plan to work.

The gentleman wrote these manuscripts conveniently.

Yan Ruxin looked at these manuscripts, and suddenly felt that the words and sentences and the sharp and vicious style were very familiar.

"You wrote the press release for the previous... case?" Yan Ruxin asked with an unhappy expression after counting several cases she had lost to him.

Marcos nodded.

He also provoked with a magnetic, low-alcohol cello-like voice: "I remember it quite clearly. Didn't you hide and cry secretly?"

what……

joke!

It's her turn to cry no one else!

Moreover……

Yan Ruxin said without showing any weakness: "Hmph! You make it sound like you won easily."

She loses or loses, but she usually deliberately piles up the cost of his final victory a lot.

A $50 billion acquisition, her addition often makes the cost soar to nearly tens of billions.

In retrospect, she really added a lot of chaos.

"To each other." Marcos raised his eyebrows coldly.

Yan Ruxin met his dark blue eyes with deep meaning, raised her head and hummed softly, as if she agreed with him.

That's right, when the two of them were opponents, they really spared no effort to block each other.

All kinds of harmful and insidious tricks, all greet each other.

Everyone is tacit.

Yan Ruxin passed the manuscript written by Marcos to the media newspapers or Internet promoters who had already contacted her.

In a few days, just looking at the peak stock price that couldn't stop falling, you can know the effect of this manuscript.

She took the opportunity to buy a large sum of money, and received the stocks in the hands of retail investors at a price lower than the cost price.

During this period of time, she also privately contacted shareholders who still had shares in Summit.

These shareholders, of course, also include Bob Howard and David Garrett, the two original partners who hold shares.

Except for Patrick and Robert, Yan Ruxin has no direct contact for the time being, the others...

As long as it is human, there are weaknesses.

Each of these stakeholders has different expectations and needs.

If there is hope to escape as soon as possible under the sharp drop in the market, Yan Ruxin will naturally take the opportunity to buy it, which can be regarded as "saving a life".

Some felt that although the price fell sharply, they could still wait and see for a while, so she raised the price a little bit, bought at a premium, and took control of the equity.

There are also some people who have seen a "hostile takeover" behind their backs and want to sell them for a price.

Some people can see that this is also normal.

Although it is said that a hostile takeover can be carried out quietly, the laws of the United States stipulate that when the acquirer owns more than a certain percentage of shares, it still needs to disclose information. This is to maintain market stability.

Those who hold a considerable proportion of shares but are unwilling to sell them easily are still quite tricky.

Currently, Yan Ruxin owns less than [-]% of the shares, all of which come from retail investors and minority shareholders.

If the remaining shareholders, as well as the shares held by Bob Howard and David Garrett, are all in hand.

Probably up to [-]%.

At this time, even if Robert Friedman and Patrick Worthberg wanted to expel Yan Ruxin from the game, they would probably be powerless.

……

In the following time, Yan Ruxin launched a strategy against these people who were up for grabs.

Thanks to a little red book that Marcos gave her one day, she was able to transfer all the assets held by other shareholders except Robert Friedman and Patrick Worthberg in just over a month. The shares are all in hand.

The little red book is only the size of a palm, with a strange pattern on it.

Looking at it, there are some strange contents in the little red book, for example, who is allergic to wool, who is not resistant to furry cats, who likes to do yoga after drinking a glass of lemonade... ...and whoever has a sympathy date on a certain day of a certain year, and whoever wants to remit a sum of money to an account every month...

Yan Ruxin didn't take it seriously at first.

But when dealing with these shareholders, she finally realized the great energy of these seemingly insignificant little things.

Basically, the negotiations that she thought would take a lot of talk were resolved after making good use of these petty tricks.

On the one hand, the negotiation went well, and she was very satisfied.

But on the other hand……

Yan Ruxin became deeply jealous of Marcos who provided these materials.

She couldn't figure out how to investigate to know such a trivial thing so clearly?

Many small hobbies, even family members who get along day and night, may not be clear.

Thinking about it this way, when he was putting pressure on the top management of CAA, the content he mentioned inadvertently probably came from this little red book.
