Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 1090 CD Cooling (4k)

The news that the head of Morningstar is going to hold an extraordinary general meeting came from Yang Weiyi, the president. However, the company did not make a formal announcement, and there was no relevant information circulating in the market.

On the contrary, director Rong Tianxing's shareholding increase came as promised the next day.

However, he did not increase his holdings to 5% of the waving line, and his shareholding on social media platforms increased from 3.6% to 4.1%, which is considered to be 35%.

But this is not bad, the funds used are already close to 0.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which still makes Fang Zhuo a little surprised.

Judging from public information and private knowledge, Director Rong's family background and industry experience should not allow him to mobilize funds so easily.

Because Morningstar broke after listing, caught up with the financial crisis, industry turmoil and encountered business challenges, its stock price has been falling all the way and the senior management has been locked up, and the management team has not had time to cash out. This is why Fang Zhuo can relatively easily impose A cause of influence.

If you already have 1000 million on you, you may not be tempted to face 1500 million, and that's the case when you have money to a certain extent. However, you only have 1000 left on you, and facing 1500 million... don't test your humanity.

For example, director Shi Deli, who abstained from voting, was the co-founder of the company when it was established in 2002. From scratch to the current listing, it took 7 years... How many 7 years are left in life?

It's been 7 years, can't you let the brothers enjoy it?

In addition to the real stocks in his hands, the breakthrough of Morningstar's business fundamentals has also made many people in the company come to a similar judgment-the money can't be spent, the business is not easy to manage, Mr. Liang, Mr. Fang is not an outsider... …

However, just when Yang Weiyi ordered the two or five boys to go to the two abstaining directors to stabilize the front line, the head of the company, Liang Gongwei, took more specific actions, trying to solve the problems that everyone could see.

On December 12, Liang Gongwei announced that he had obtained joint credit from Formosa Bank, Taishin Bank, and Fubon Bank, with a credit line of NT$23 billion, which is equivalent to HK$90 billion.

At the same time, he made it clear that he did not rule out plans to continue seeking support from financial institutions.

Accompanied by the news that part of the funds had been settled, Liang Gongwei arrived in Xiangjiang only at night, and released another heavy news in front of the media cameras. Morningstar Semiconductor is discussing the possibility of introducing fixed-increment Taiwan Records.

Money, part of the solution, but after all, it is a loan and credit, it is only used as a preparatory means and attitude display.

More importantly, Liang Gongwei found an important helper, Tai Ji.

Liang Gongwei was born in Shida Semiconductor. Later, when Shida was acquired by Taiji, he also served as the assistant director of Taiji for a short time, and then led more than 30 colleagues to establish Morningstar Semiconductor.

I live in Taiwan, and it is in the semiconductor industry. The headquarters of Morningstar is in Hsinchu just like Taiji. Most of the orders were made by Taiji in the early days, but after entering the mainland market, Bingxin faintly and TV With the tacit understanding of the manufacturers, Morningstar's orders were transferred to Luzhou.

Now that Morningstar Semiconductor is facing a battle for control, Liang Gongwei easily considers Taiji, the industry leader in the foundry industry. He has no money, but Taiji is definitely not short of money!

As long as Tai Ji is successfully introduced as a shareholder of Morningstar, it will be able to form a check and balance with Fang Zhuo, thereby continuing to stabilize the control over the company.

Liang Gongwei had been looking for someone to contact Zhang Zhongmo, the head of Taiwan Records, since last night. He didn't confirm the possibility of cooperation between the two parties until the morning, and then immediately flew to Xiangjiang to release a strong signal to protect the company.

Facing Xiangjiang reporters, he answered the questions head-on.

"What is a hostile takeover? The company is unwilling to accept it. This is a hostile takeover. I am very grateful to Mr. Fang for his love for Morningstar, but we at Morningstar have our own team and system."

"Although Morningstar has encountered many challenges this year, I believe it will be able to adjust next year, and I also believe that our partners can provide more support."

Liang Gongwei looked dignified, first answered the question about the hostile takeover, and then pulled the tension back, and continued: "We have always had a good cooperation between Chenxing and Mr. Fang. This time, there may be some misunderstandings between each other. This problem will be solved, and Morningstar and Yike will have a good win-win prospect in the future.”

The introduction of Taiji is his idea of ​​check and balance, but he doesn't want Mr. Fang to just leave. The situation he most wants to get is the coexistence of two shareholders. What he wants most...

Even Liang Gongwei has to admit that Yike Department does have the ability to change the situation of Morningstar, which even Taiji cannot do. If there is a win-win situation, it will be the best situation for the company and the stock price.

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, do you think you can still ease the relationship with Mr. Fang?"

"Mr. Liang, Taiji and Mr. Fang's ice cores are in direct competition. Do you think the two can coexist in your company?"

"Mr. Liang, you think Fang is always taking hostile takeovers, why are you talking about prospects? Isn't this appeasement?"

Xiangjiang reporters asked a lot of questions quickly, and the microphones were all stuffed to their mouths.

Leung Kung-wai heard some embarrassing words and decided to end the public appearance.

He said firmly: "Everything I do is for the company. Mr. Fang is one of the business leaders of Huaxia. I believe he can understand my feelings. We still maintain communication. Mr. Fang is also a shareholder of Morningstar. I am also a shareholder of Morningstar. I believe he will also consider the interests of the company."

Liang Gongwei turned to leave.

The reporters asked more questions.

"Mr. Liang, are you morally kidnapping?"

"Mr. Liang, are you ready for Mr. Fang to smash the game?"

Liang Gongwei stopped answering questions and hurried into the hotel.

Of course, he considered Boss Fang's smashing of the game, but he also felt that as long as the degree of confrontation between each other was controlled, this kind of behavior of smashing the game that hurt both sides could be avoided.

Directors increased holdings, bank credits, recruited Taiwan reporters, and made public statements.

From yesterday to today, Liang Gongwei has done a lot of things intensively, and from the 24th to the 27th of tomorrow, which coincides with the four-day closure of the Xiangjiang stock market on Christmas Eve, Christmas, and weekends, I believe he can get Mr. Fang's feedback.

Liang Gongwei decided to see each other again in the next four days, not only to control it to a certain extent, but also to ensure that the control of the company is firmly grasped. On this basis, it is indeed possible to discuss conditions with President Fang.

only……

On the 24th, 25th, and 26th, for three consecutive days, despite the ups and downs of the Hong Kong media and the extensive reprinting by the mainland media, Yi Ke and Mr. Fang remained silent and did not give any response.

Liang Gongwei paid special attention to the relevant pages of Sina Portal, Sina Weibo, and Zhihu, and confirmed that there was no movement from Mr. Fang, but some outsiders' analysis in a logical manner.

On the evening of the 26th, Liang Gongwei held another board meeting in Xiangjiang.

This time, he didn't push the poison pill plan, but talked about the feasibility and positive benefits of introducing Taiwan Ji, and even, he just talked about it, and didn't even vote.

"How is it? Do you think it's a good thing to add to Taiwan Records?" Liang Gongwei asked gently after speaking, as if everyone had never had a face-to-face quarrel.

Director Liang came to Xiangjiang with the head of the company. Director Fang Pai also confirmed his position after communication with President Yang Weiyi. He arrived at Xiangjiang together on Christmas Eve.

However, this is not to force a poison pill, but to discuss the fixed increase...

"I object." Yang Weiyi gave a clear opinion after hesitating for a moment.

Liang Gongwei was not angry, and said gently: "Why do you object?"

Yang Weiyi thought for a while, this kind of juncture is to oppose for the sake of opposition, he pondered for a moment, as if thinking about the reason, but he still said these three words: "I object."

"Today is not a vote, or even a decision to introduce Taiwan Ji, I just want to discuss this possibility and the benefits it can bring to our morning star." Liang Gongwei became more patient, "Mr. Yang, you said before that you are a public heart. Is that fair?"

Yang Weiyi was silent.

Liang Gongwei glanced at Fang Pai's director, and said more bluntly: "The result hasn't come out, you can't just be so sure that Fang Zhuo will drive me away, right? We need to discuss the future of the company's development, right? There can't be only plan A. , you don’t even have a plan B?”

Come on, it's reasonable!

Liang Gongwei has the bearing of a master today!

The eyes of Yang Weiyi, Lin Yongyu, Shi Deli, and Xiao Shuoyuan intertwined, and they found a tacit understanding in just an instant, and said in unison: "I object!"

The four voices stacked together broke Liang Gongwei's defense in an instant.

He changed his face and said angrily: "Do you still dare to speak up? Why do you want to hold shares for employees? Since it is for the stock in your own hand, then don't set up any archway! Well, if this is the case, then the shareholders Let’s talk about it at the meeting, let’s see if you only have these three words when facing the majority of shareholders!”

These three words will definitely not work in the general meeting of shareholders.

But even so, Yang Weiyi and the others didn't say anything, and hastily ended another communication between the board of directors.

Yang Weiyi did what he said, and directly asked the company to issue an announcement that an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will be held in Xiangjiang after the 15th to discuss the company's current situation.

Obviously, the members of the board of directors and the fixed increase in Taiwan can be determined at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

Such an announcement directly made the outside world speculate that the struggle within Morningstar has become more intense.

However, under Liang Gongwei's special attention, he still didn't see Boss Fang's reaction.

This time, not only him, but also the media and shareholders have noticed the situation.

Some media called Yike to ask whether Mr. Fang would attend Morningstar's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on January 1, and the answer he got was "no comment".

Liang Gongwei's punch after punch seemed to hit the cotton.

He hesitated, thought about it, and finally called Mr. Fang when December was about to end.

Although Liang Gongwei took the initiative to make a phone call, the situation was already clear. He was not polite when he came up, and asked directly: "Mr. Fang, what are you going to do? What are you waiting for? Are you coming to the shareholders' meeting?"

If Mr. Fang did not express his opinion for a long time, or even did not attend at all, then it would be difficult to determine the scale of affairs at the shareholders meeting.

Shencheng's silence made things too many possibilities.

"Mr. Liang, I've been investigated for insider trading. What do you want me to do?" Fang Zhuo asked a little funny.

"You..." Liang Gongwei paused, "Do you know the affairs of the board of directors and the arrangement of the shareholder meeting?"

Fang Zhuo directly continued to answer the second question above: "Mr. Liang, I'm waiting for the investigation of insider trading to end."

Liang Gongwei's mind was full of his recent actions, and he subconsciously raised a question: "Huh?"

"Whenever it ends, I will increase my holdings." Fang Zhuo informed the head of Morningstar, "If the shareholders' meeting ends before it starts, then I will increase my holdings and attend. If the shareholders' meeting ends after, then I will not attend. Wait for the accumulation to end."

Nothing else, just wait for the CD, the CD will start to cool down.

Liang Gongwei was stunned for a few seconds, and said, "I want to increase my shareholding, and I can also force an offer."

Fang Zhuo gave a "hmm" and said politely, "Then you go first."

He can't do it now, until the investigation is over.

Liang Gongwei was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I want to introduce Taiwan Ji, Mr. Zhang has already expressed his willingness to join the board of directors of Morning Star."

Fang Zhuo said "hmm" again, and said calmly, "Let him come."

Mr. Liang's request for help from Taiji is a bit surprising, but it is still expected in the large category of Taiwanese enterprises. Fortunately, Taiji will not acquire Morningstar. It does not conform to its development plan and can only provide limited help. It is nothing more than extending the timeline of the acquisition of Morningstar.

Liang Gongwei suddenly had the feeling of hearing footsteps coming from the corridor. The footsteps were not fast, but they were always approaching.

He was silent for a while this time, and finally asked: "You want Chen Xing so much? Even if Chen Xing fights with you like this?"

"Mr. Liang, sometimes Morningstar needs me. As you said, I am also a shareholder of Morningstar." Fang Zhuo said flatly, "Also, whether you can represent Morningstar, I think it is debatable, and like you That's right, I can understand your feelings, but you may not understand me, I am also for the morning star, it's just a different angle."

Liang Gongwei mocked with admiration: "Mr. Fang's words are really fresh and refined."

"No, Mr. Liang, I'm..." Before Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he heard a blind voice on the phone, and the other party had ended the call.

Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly and put down his phone.

The acquisition strategy is established, and he has not paid much attention to the movement these days, but only regularly reads the team's reports.

Confirmation of the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders shows that Mr. Liang still has a strong subjective initiative, and this quality is often the X factor in the event.

Now we need to look at the investigation progress of the Xiangjiang City Supervision Department. If it is really pushed to the 12th, the board of directors is reorganized, and the poison pill plan is approved again, it may be necessary to take over Morningstar's mainland department.

Also acceptable.

Fang Zhuo was calm, knowing that each other's bargaining chips were different, and all he had to do was wait.

The last two days of December are fleeting.

With the arrival of New Year's Day, time into 2010.

Looking back on the first day of 2010, the impact of the financial turmoil has become apparent, YBAT has taken shape, the mobile Internet is booming, smartphone penetration is accelerating, the group buying market is rising, and giants are eager to try.

Fang Zhuo has many emotions on New Year's Day, but the biggest feeling is that the Spring Festival is getting closer.

He was invited to watch the Spring Festival Gala live this year, and considering Yi Xin's activities, he readily agreed.

And that night, the Xiangjiang City Supervision Department called to officially confirm that Fang Zhuo had not violated relevant regulations, and would announce the end of the insider trading investigation on the 2nd.

That is to say, the barriers to increasing holdings have been removed, and the front has been unimpeded.

It's not too early or too late to catch up with the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on the 12th, just in time to announce Morningstar's change of ownership.
