Chapter 1478 Acquire Finger Company?

As for why he hoped this drastic change would last longer… obviously, Charles, the current CEO of Finger Company, would definitely keep creating negative news to suppress Finger Company's value in order to repurchase Finger Company's shares at a low price, and at the same time force Dayak Group to yield, so that he could close the deal at a lower price.

And Dayak Group certainly wouldn't just sit and watch.

The longer the two sides wrestled, the smaller the cost to acquire Finger Company would naturally be!

Thinking of this, Meng Chang couldn't help but feel invigorated.

He was already sixty percent sure that President Pei was paying attention to the movements of Finger Company and was ready to be the "oriole waiting behind the mantis."

Although a sixty percent probability wasn't reliable enough, Meng Chang didn't dare to take any more risks.

It was already a bit strange that he asked about Finger Company, and if he asked one more question, his intention would be too obvious.

After all, Meng Chang hadn't been responsible for any GOG-related publicity work recently, so why would he be so interested in IOI? This didn't make sense.

Testing out a sixty percent possibility was already good.

Meng Chang turned to leave, but Pei Qian called him back.

"Wait a minute."

"I also have a question for you: Do you think there's any… way to quickly spend a large amount of money?"

Pei Qian had this sudden whim, so he asked this question.

He had been struggling with the matter of spending money in a rush, and suddenly felt that he could ask Meng Chang!

Meng Chang may not be reliable in other aspects, but he has one advantage: he dares to spend money!

Asking him, even if he doesn't get any particularly useful answers, will still be a bit rewarding.

Meng Chang instantly froze.

What does President Pei mean by this?!

There are so many ways to spend money in this world, how could President Pei not think of them?

Impossible!

Not to mention those industries that Tengda has not yet ventured into, the simplest way is to throw all the money into Dream Chasing Ventures, right?

Obviously, President Pei's question seems to have a deeper meaning.

Meng Chang felt a little flustered. Could it be that he just asked about IOI in a roundabout way, and President Pei had already accurately guessed what he was thinking, so he was using this method to beat him?

President Pei asked if there was any way to quickly spend a large amount of money, and wouldn't acquiring Finger Company fit the bill perfectly?

Is President Pei implying: I know all about your little plans, so don't try to be clever and test me again?

Meng Chang's thoughts drifted far away.

Seeing Meng Chang's spaced-out look, Pei Qian was a little puzzled.

What's going on? It's just asking if you have any ways to quickly spend a large amount of money, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't, you can just say one or two, why are you so tangled up?

Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "Is this question that difficult?"

Meng Chang couldn't help but shudder, suddenly awakening.

Sure enough, President Pei had already presupposed the answer when he asked this question!

And my hesitation just exposed myself…

Unpreventable!

Dealing with President Pei, you really can't be careless at any time, because any small flaw will be caught by President Pei, which is simply a comprehensive suppression of intelligence!

What should I do next? Obviously, there is only one way.

That is to tell the truth and confess frankly!

Thinking of this, Meng Chang quickly bowed: "President Pei, I really shouldn't have speculated about your plan to acquire Finger Company! I'm very sorry!"

Pei Qian: "?"

This bow directly stunned Pei Qian.

What's going on?

Why are you apologizing for no reason?

Didn't I just ask you a very simple question? Look at what you've answered?

Hmm? Acquire Finger Company?

Pei Qian didn't really care at first, but the keyword "acquire Finger Company" instantly opened a door to a new world for him.

Wait, this is a good idea!

What is thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river? What is the cycle of fortune?

Back then, Dayak Group was able to forcibly take the shares of Finger Company from my hands through a privatization offer, so now I can naturally take them back in the same way!

Obviously, Finger Company is now in a deteriorating situation, and the failure of the Spring Festival event has given Finger Company a heavy blow.

The current Finger Company can be said to be at its most vulnerable since its founding.

Pei Qian had never considered this issue before, because IOI's operating situation was still acceptable, and Finger Company was a hot commodity, so Dayak Group would definitely not sell it.

But now it's different. After several twists and turns, IOI's situation is not as good as before, and Dayak Group is known for being greedy for money. Maybe they can really buy Finger Company if they offer a higher price?

As for whether it's worthwhile to buy Finger Company…

Nonsense, of course it's worthwhile!

Even if IOI is now on its last legs, Dayak Group will definitely not let go easily. If you want to buy it, it definitely won't be cheap, and there will still be some premium.

High price, poor prospects, isn't this the investment with the lowest cost performance?

Looking at IOI's current state, it's basically about to die. If Pei Qian doesn't buy it, it will rot in someone else's hands; but if Pei Qian buys it, wouldn't it rot in his own hands?

If IOI really rots, then it can be used to burn money all the time. This money-burning tree can burn for at least a year and a half, how great!

Pei Qian even had a more outrageous and sinister idea, which was to take GOG along with it, spend the most money, and do the most stupid thing…

Pei Qian was also lost in thought, fantasizing for more than half a minute, before he came back to his senses.

When he looked again, Meng Chang was still bending over.

Pei Qian was a little speechless: "What are you doing? Get up quickly, I didn't mean to blame you for this."

Meng Chang rubbed his old waist, his forehead oozing with cold sweat.

Didn't mean to blame me, but let me bend over here for so long?

Obviously, President Pei's attitude can be viewed from two aspects.

Meng Chang bowed to apologize, and President Pei deliberately waited more than half a minute before letting him get up, which was obviously to beat him, so that he wouldn't try to be clever and test him again next time; but President Pei said that he didn't mean to blame him, which meant that the matter of acquiring Finger Company would not change because of Meng Chang.

To put it further…

President Pei means that I want to acquire Finger Company, you saw it, and had some thoughts, that's okay. But you're being clever and running to test me, that's a big problem!

One thing is one thing, this attitude has been expressed very clearly.

Meng Chang quickly said, "Okay, President Pei, then I'll leave first."

Leaving President Pei's office, Meng Chang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Phew… good!

Although the plan failed, and his seemingly inconspicuous roundabout probing was exposed by President Pei on the spot, President Pei was not angry because of it.

Moreover, he also tested it out, President Pei does have a plan to acquire Finger Company.

Now that this news has been confirmed, things will be easier to say later. Meng Chang and Fan Xiaodong can both roughly estimate the stock price trend of Finger Company for a period of time in the future based on this accurate information!

First of all, in order to buy Finger Company at a low price, Charles will definitely release some negative news, causing Finger Company's stock price to fall.

Then, when the stock price has fallen to a certain extent, and Charles and Dayak Group are about to reach a deal, President Pei will definitely strike suddenly.

At this time, the stock price, which has already fallen to a certain level, will definitely rise again.

In other words, first short, then long, and you can make another profit.

Meng Chang's small treasury will naturally be replenished.

However, Meng Chang has already thought about it, he will take out a large part of the money he earns and donate it directly to the "First Relief Plan," so that President Pei will turn a blind eye to his behavior.

In short, the situation is excellent!

…

Watching Meng Chang leave, Pei Qian began to ponder the matter of acquiring Finger Company.

Seriously, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense!

He hadn't considered this issue at all before, mainly because he didn't get along with Dayak Group before, and even if he wanted to buy it, they wouldn't sell it.

Now that Finger Company is like this, maybe there's really a chance.

But the problem is, acquiring a company is not as simple as buying cabbage. You have to evaluate and negotiate, and this process is troublesome.

How to buy it? Who to send?

Pei Qian doesn't really care about the price. As long as it's not too outrageous, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive or cheaper. The key is to be able to do it smoothly, so don't go there and do a bunch of operations, and end up hitting a wall, then it's a waste of effort.

After thinking about it, Pei Qian finalized four main candidates.

Eric, Assistant Xin, He Desheng, Meng Chang!

Eric is a veteran employee of Dayak Group and should be able to get in touch with Dayak Group, so that the transaction can be facilitated more quickly, so that he doesn't run over there and can't get in touch, delaying the progress.

In addition, Eric has been responsible for the operation of both IOI and GOG, especially he is very familiar with IOI, and is professional enough in terms of games.

Assistant Xin and He Desheng mainly investigate Finger Company and estimate a more reasonable price by the way. These two have relatively strong business skills. There is no need to suppress the price too low, but they can't be taken advantage of.

As for the last one, Meng Chang, he seems to be just filling the numbers on the surface, but he is actually very important: Pei Qian wants him to make the final decision for himself.

Acquiring a company is definitely not something that can be negotiated in three or two days. The entire negotiation process will be relatively long, and there may be some trade-offs in the middle.

Pei Qian is not very concerned about the gains and losses in these details, but Eric, Assistant Xin, and He Desheng are not the kind of people who dare to make decisions too much.

And Meng Chang doesn't have many other advantages, the only advantage is that he is bold.

At that time, these people may have to fly to Europe or the United States, and there will be jet lag with China. Pei Qian doesn't want to be woken up by a transatlantic call in the middle of the night to make a decision on a trivial matter in his opinion.

Therefore, let Eric connect, Assistant Xin and He Desheng investigate and negotiate, and Meng Chang make the decision. In the end, no matter what the result is, as long as Finger Company is bought and not too much unjust money is spent, that's fine.

These four people will cooperate and then let them form a professional team according to their needs, it must be proper and foolproof!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became. He immediately sent messages to the four people, asking them to quickly arrange their work at hand, investigate the possibility of acquiring Finger Company, and then push this matter forward as soon as possible.

Of course, Pei Qian can't control how to negotiate specifically. The four of them can discuss and make decisions.
