Chapter 1475: Finger Gas’ Undercurrent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The more ng Chang listened, the more he felt that there was sothing amiss behind this matter.
He did not interrupt but continued listening intently.
Fan Xiaodong paused for a mont and said, “If the news that Dayak Corporation is going to sell Finger Gas is true, the upper echelons of Finger Gas must have their own considerations and plans.”
“After hearing the news, I observed the movents of the upper echelons of Finger Gas through various channels and finally found so clues.”
“There is a high-level executive in Finger Gas. His na is Charles Kotick. He is different from a high-level executive who was a designer like Chrétien. He was the co-founder of Finger Gas from the beginning. He was not a designer but the main financial backer. When he was at his peak, he had nearly 40% of Finger Gas’ shares. He was the real authority in Finger Gas.”
“Not only that, after Finger Gas was bought over by Dayak Corporation, he was deeply trusted by Dayak Corporation. Without any suspense, he won against the other co-founders and beca the CEO of Finger Gas.”
“Dayak Corporation spent a huge sum of money and gave Tengda a huge sum of money. They forced a privatization contract to ask Finger Gas to withdraw from the market and obtain complete control. After so twists and turns, they were listed again. During this process, Dayak Corporation very generously gave about 10% of the shares to England!”
“It can be seen that he is deeply trusted by Dayak Corporation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the true controller of Finger Gas.”
ng Chang nodded slightly. This was actually not difficult to understand.
Dayak Corporation had gone through painstaking ans to retract their shares from Tengda because they thought that Tengda was an enemy and a competitor. Leaving the shares and operating rights of the local server in Tengda would cause huge harm to IOI. That was why they did not hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to retract them.
On the other hand, distributing so shares to the upper echelons of Finger Gas was to motivate them so that they could design IOI well and earn more money.
Leaving the market was to obtain complete control, and going public again was to re-enter the capital market and obtain more benefits.
Dayak Corporation attached the most importance to him among the upper echelons of Finger Gas. As for the reason… it might be because he had grown into a shape that the capital loved.
In this aspect, the higher-ups who knew how to operate capital were much more likable than those who only knew how to design gas.
Fan Xiaodong continued, “Then, after I investigated, I realized that Charles seed to be lobbying everywhere. He successfully convinced four investnt firms and jointly funded the establishnt of an investnt firm, registered on the Cayman Island.”
“On top of that, he also set up a financial managent company with his own brother. From the structure, this financial managent company is the only partner of that investnt company, which is the actual manager of the funds.”
ng Chang quickly understood. “That’s why… this new investnt firm that was established by four investnt firms is actually under the control of this funds managent company, and this fund managent company is under the control of Charles and his brother. As for the four investnt firms that were jointly funded… they are actually only the backers and don’t participate in the actual managent.”
Fan Xiaodong: “That’s right! This is very interesting. Why did Boss Pei go through so much trouble to set up this investnt firm? Since it’s an investnt firm, he has to invest in sothing, right? What reason did he use to persuade these four big investnt firms to fork out money and beco their sponsors?”
ng Chang pondered for a mont and said, “He… wants to force their hand? He wants to intercept!”
Fan Xiaodong nodded. “Yes! That’s the only explanation!”
“Obviously, Dayak Corporation views Finger Gas as a negative asset and wants to sell it, but that’s not what Charles thinks. He is the co-founder of Finger Gas and a veteran in the ga industry after all. No one knows the value of video gas and Finger Gas more than him.”
“He saw Dayak Corporation’s sale as a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity!”
“He probably wanted to use other potential buyers to observe and think of ways to lower the value of Finger Gas so that Dayak Corporation would be forced to sell it to him at a lower price.”
“Of course, I’m not sure how to do this exactly. I guess that on the one hand, Charles must have lied to Dayak Corporation that IOI is not going to make it. No one will offer them better conditions than this. On the other hand, he must have put pressure on Dayak Corporation through other channels, such as so investnt firm that invested in Dayak Corporation.”
“There might be a consultant team sent by Dayak Corporation in Finger Gas to be in charge of analyzing possible potential buyers and the other party’s bids, but Charles is the CEO of Finger Gas after all. He can use various thods to obstruct and even use the CEO’s power to disperse this consultant team.”
“Charles must be more confident now that he has made up his mind.”
ng Chang pondered for a mont and smiled. “Indeed, only capital can defeat capital.”
“Boss Pei is not the only one who knows Dayak Corporation’s weaknesses.”
“On the surface, this Charles is the CEO of Finger Gas. He works diligently for Dayak Corporation. However, once he encounters such a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, he would reveal his fangs and want to beco the owner.”
“The key is… he really has a huge chance of success!”
“If he can really use this opportunity and bluff Dayak Corporation through various thods, think of ways to suppress the value of Finger Gas while thinking of ways to facilitate the transaction, he would really be able to make a huge profit.”
“As the CEO, he has a lot of power. As long as negative news is inadvertently leaked, Finger Gas’ stock price will continue to fall.”
“However, there are risks in doing this. Therefore, he must move quickly!”
“Dayak Corporation contacted so buyers in private, but they did not have a good discussion. That’s because their intention to cash out was too obvious. These buyers felt like they were taking over the business. They were not optimistic about Finger Gas’ prospects, so they were still watching. If they did not make a move, it was only because they did not make a move that Charles could buy back his shares from Dayak Corporation at a low price. However, if they delayed it for too long and allowed other companies to wake up, they might snatch them from him.”
“What’s more, while this operation by Charles is very high-end and dazzling, the more complicated the operation, the bigger the problem. It would definitely violate so details and regulations. It would definitely affect others, especially the interests of the small shareholders. These people would not let the matter rest. They would definitely sue Charles in a bid to pause this deal.”
“Of course, there will also be a strong legal team on Charles’ side. They will not easily lose the case, but he cannot afford to delay it. Therefore, the most likely outco would be that they will settle in court and he will get rid of the money to avoid the disaster. However, no matter what, as long as this happens, it will definitely take a long ti.”
“The only variable is… Boss Pei!”
“Is that why you’re asking about Boss Pei’s views on this?”
Fan Xiaodong was very happy. It was easy to talk to smart people. “Yes, if Boss Pei did not make a move, the final outco would probably be Finger Gas’ successful sale. However, strictly speaking, it is not considered a sale. It should be said that Charles would beco the biggest winner.”
“However, if Boss Pei were to make a move… that’s hard to say. No one can guess what Boss Pei would do.”
After so consideration, ng Chang said, “I think… Boss Pei might buy Finger Gas.”
“This is a good opportunity for Boss Pei to lower the value of Finger Gas since he thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.”
“GOG might be invincible in the world now but IOI is still a competitor with a lot of potential after all. It still has influence around the world.”
“If he buys it, it would be equivalent to having the entire MOBA ga market in your hands. At that ti, if IOI made money, Boss Pei would not lose out. If IOI died, it would be equivalent to GOG dominating the world. Boss Pei would not lose out!”
“I don’t think Boss Pei isn’t aware.”
“What’s more, the set of combinations that Boss Pei threw at IOI through GOG, especially the various activities during the Chinese New Year period, can tell that Boss Pei has invested a lot of effort in this matter. I don’t believe that he doesn’t have a backup plan.”
Fan Xiaodong was excited as well. “Yes, that’s what I want to say!”
“If Boss Pei were to make a move, what would happen? Charles had done a lot of preparation work. Tengda appeared just as he was about to take over at a low price! Dayak Corporation was naturally overjoyed. They were going to sell anyway. Wouldn’t it be the sa no matter who they sold it to? As long as they had more money!”
“At that ti, it would be a competition between both sides. Charice might have a lot of money on hand, but it is obviously incomparable to Tengda.”
“Then… Finger Gas’ shares will plumt first, and then skyrocket…”
“If we could buy it at the lowest point and sell it at the highest point, we would be able to profit even if we did not participate in this transaction.”
“However, the only question now is whether Boss Pei intends to make a move or not? If Boss Pei doesn’t make a move, the stock price will not be able to rise. Then, we will be buying stocks for nothing.”
ng Chang thought for a mont. “Leave this to . I’ll report to Boss Pei later. I’ll think of a way to pretend to ntion this unintentionally to see Boss Pei’s attitude.”
Fan Xiaodong quickly said, “Be careful. Boss Pei is so smart. If he sees our intentions, he might backfire.”
ng Chang patted his chest and answered confidently, “Don’t worry! I’ve roughly figured out Boss Pei’s temper now. Nothing will go wrong.”
Fan Xiaodong was very happy. “Alright, as long as we have definite news, we will buy Finger Gas’ shares. We might not make as much as before this ti, but it will definitely be more considerable!”
If there was no accurate news from ng Chang, he would definitely not dare to make a move even if Fan Xiaodong saw this opportunity.
The reason was simple, the risk was too high!
Any slight misstep could turn from profit to loss.
However, if he could obtain confird news from Boss Pei, it would be completely different!
