v3 Chapter 878: Countermeasures against the Rohill family (1/2)
”Boss, this is the situation. An unknown company is also acquiring shares in Phillip Brothers. It is already certain that the other party has acquired at least 15% of the shares.”
Toby Morton reported to Xia Yuhui solemnly.
Toby Morton just increased his vigilance at the first instance, but the subsequent series of bad news made him feel uncomfortable.
According to the statistics of the number of target shares of the acquisition team, the opponent has already acquired more than 15% of the shares. If he considers that some targets have not yet started, he cannot be sure how much the opponent has acquired.
He could only make emergency dispatch, and let the company's acquisition team immediately change the target and acquire more equity before the opponent.
Then he called the boss Xia Yu, and that's what happened now.
Xia Yu frowned slightly, thinking about where the problem might be, and who the unknown enemy is!
Only with limited information, the unknown is too great, and it is difficult for him to determine the goal.
Slightly shook his head to look back. He wanted Toby Morton to ask: ”Toby, how much equity has the company acquired now?”
Toby Morton quickly reported: ”At present, our shareholding ratio has reached 61%. We acquired 27.4% from the beginning, and then took the Phillips family. 27.8% of the shareholdings of the two minority shareholders at the same time yesterday.”
”Sixty-one percent...”
Xia Yu stretched her brows and chewed the number in her mouth.
Although it is still far from the goal of a wholly-owned acquisition, it is only 5.7 percent away from the two-thirds line. The gap is not too big.
When things have happened, we can only lower our psychological expectations and prepare ourselves.
However, considering the futures contracts that Galaxy Fund has not yet sold, Xia Yu is determined that he does not believe that his opponent dares to invest billions of dollars in the call of Philip Brothers.
Now the valuation of Philip Brothers is about to drop below 100 million U.S. dollars. The cost of buying stocks is very small. It depends on whether the opponent has the ability to retain so many shares!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu told Toby Morton: ”Toby, it doesn't matter if you make a full purchase and raise the price, but you must make the company's shareholding ratio exceed 66.7%!”
”Also don't forget to investigate who your opponent is!”
Feeling the resoluteness in the boss's tone, Toby Morton's face was straightened and he replied with a nod: ”I understand, I will execute it myself.”
Soon, Toby Morton left the office at a hasty pace.
Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes glowed with inexplicable brilliance, and his names kept flashing in his mind.
”Ring Ling Ling...”
Half an hour later, a rapid bell rang, awakening Xia Yu from his contemplation.
He picked up the microphone and just wanted to ask who the other party was. The familiar voice from the receiver made Xia Yu's face straightened, and he immediately greeted, ”Sir Carter, hello.”
The caller turned out to be Duke Carter Howard, which surprised Xia Yu. Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the second time Duke Carter Howard has called him on his own initiative. Usually, everything goes through Elena or George Berkeley conveyed.
”Good luck, it happened that you answered the phone, Xia Yu...”
Listening to Duke Carter Howard's constant telling, Xia Yu's complexion gradually became serious, and his attention became more concentrated, for fear of missing any information.
”Huh! It really is them!”
Three minutes later, Duke Carter Howard finally finished speaking. Xia Yu pondered for more than ten seconds and said affirmatively: ”Sir Carter, if your investigation is not wrong, then it is not possible that the Rohill family wants to annex Bahrain. The bank must want to do that.”
”The current situation is that we are on the surface, and the Roshir family is hiding in the dark. Do you think that the Bahrain Bank is closed. With our two families alone, is it possible to take over the Bahrain Bank?”
In Xia Yu's view, whether it was the Rothschild family who took the Bank of Bahrain directly or held a part of the equity, it was not the result he wanted, nor was it the result that Duke Carter Howard wanted.
