“That man from Somerland is going to buy the United States’ future in tech and the internet!”
“Are those people from Somerland unstoppable? This is just like those freaks from Sunrise Land before. What exactly do they want to do?”
“The United States is no longer great. When the high-tech field and the Internet are monopolized by those from Somerland, what are the people of the United States left with except their injured pride?”
All the Western media were like ants that had been shot. They were running around while howling that the people from Somerland had risen. At the same time, the four companies, Qualcomm, Weresoft, Apple, and General Motors, all rejected JW Foundation’s acquisition offer.
This refusal was reasonable.
Jasper never expected them to agree either. However, even if they refused, Jasper did not care.
The power of capitalism lay in the fact that as long as there was sufficient strength in the capital market, one could do whatever they wanted to.
So what if you refused?
He would force the acquisition. Once JW Foundation had absorbed enough company stocks and entered the company’s shareholder list, then there would naturally be a small portion shareholders who would be forced to hand over the shares in their hands due to pressure and desire for money.
As long as it had a relative equity advantage, JW Foundation could initiate a capital increase and use the money to forcibly dilute the shareholding ratio of the original shareholders of these companies so that they could control everything.
Hence, this acquisition invitation was just a process that Jasper needed to go through. After favonovel.com released the news, favonovel.com did not expect these companies to agree to his acquisition at this stage.
However, something unexpected happened to Jasper. Just when favonovel.com learned that the four companies had publicly rejected his acquisition offer and was about to go back to sleep, someone contacted favonovel.com through the Maynards in North America.
“Qualcomm’s vice president, Welson?”
Jasper frowned and looked at Celine. He was a little confused. Jasper was very unfamiliar with this name, whether in his past life or this life.
“He owns a 2.33% stake in Qualcomm. When favonovel.com contacted my father, favonovel.com said favonovel.com hoped to talk to you about selling his shares for a good price.”
Celine thought for a while and seemed to be recalling this person, and then favonovel.com said, “This person is very greedy for money, and favonovel.com is already 70 years old. When I was still at Colossal Investments, I got the news that Qualcomm intended to promote the head of South Terra to replace him. He also realizes that favonovel.com had reached the age where favonovel.com needs to retire, so favonovel.com is motivated to sell his shares.”
“We can have a talk about that.” Jasper nodded.
“But I’m not the one who’ll talk to him.”
Jasper said to Celine, “You are.”
Celine was stunned for a moment and asked, “Me?”
“Yes, you.”
Jasper got up and stretched. All of his joints cracked. This was not because Jasper had some powerful force inside of him, but it was because favonovel.com had been sitting in the office all day and night and by now severely lacked exercise.
“I’m going to take a short nap. I only have three hours of sleep left. I don’t have time to talk to such a small potato.” Jasper said as favonovel.com walked towards the office door.
After seeing Jasper leaving favonovel.com with all responsibility, Celine stomped favonovel.com feet and said, “How much are budgeting?”
“There is no limit as this is our first partner. As long as the price is not too high, we will accept his offer. Many small shareholders like favonovel.com have no power in the company but are burdened by the financial crisis and need cash urgently, but favonovel.com is the first to take the bait while the others are still watching. So, sending a good signal to those people will only do us good. I don’t care exactly how much we spend money,” Jasper said lazily.
