#260 - Beautiful Country: This geeky technology company is damn good!
Therefore, the stockholders who speculated on Geely Company's stock and the nine major automobile companies all lost their shirts. Not only did they not make money, but they also lost their principal!
Naturally, this infuriated the stockholders who speculated on Geely Company's stock and the nine major automobile companies to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
Some stockholders who had leveraged their investments might as well prepare to jump off a building, because they wouldn't want to bear huge debts and live a hard life; jumping would be their only option.
The nine major automobile companies, of course, couldn't jump off a building, because it was company money, not personal funds.
But that doesn't mean these companies wouldn't pay a price. Many executives in the nine major automobile companies were directly replaced.
Even if the various presidents weren't scapegoated and forced to step down, they were directly stripped of their year-end bonuses or rewards.
It could be said that if they couldn't achieve outstanding results in the future, then this year would definitely be a waste of time for them.
Among them, Toyota Akio, the president of Tsuda Motors, was the most uncomfortable.
Because it was he who had strongly advocated attacking Geek Technology Company and preventing Geek Technology Company from acquiring Geely Company.
Even back then, in order to get the nine major companies to work together, Toyota Akio had put forward various reasons why Geek Technology Company must acquire Geely Company.
Then, he gave reasons such as how much profit they could gain from this matter and how they could attack Geek Technology Company, and so on.
Under the many reasons and benefits put forward by Toyota Akio, the presidents finally agreed to this plan.
But what about now?
Who knows if they succeeded in disgusting Geek Technology Company, but their nine major automobile companies have suffered a great loss.
The funds used to speculate and raise Geely Company's stock price have all been lost.
Now, although they hold Geely Company's stock, these stocks are no longer the price they were before.
Selling them now would result in a huge loss, and not selling them would only result in even greater losses. Either way, they would be spitting blood.
After all, Geely Company only makes that little bit of profit every year. If they want to recover their costs through dividends, they shouldn't even think about it for more than a decade.
Now that Geek Technology Company has entered the automobile market, it's uncertain whether Geely Company can continue to sell so many cars in the future.
Therefore, the nine major automobile companies have found that continuing to hold shares in Geely Company is not a very good choice.
They believe that when Geek Technology Company's cars are released, Geely Company's market value will further decline.
So, whether it's the nine major automobile companies or the stockholders who hold Geely Company's stock, what they want to do most now is to quickly sell the Geely Company stock in their hands.
Lest Geely Company's stock market value plummet again when Geek Auto is released in half a year or eight months!
During this process, Geek Technology Company naturally took action in secret.
However, in order to avoid being noticed and then raising Geely Company's stock price again, Geek Technology Company quietly purchased Geely Company's stock through a front man.
It is worth mentioning that because the nine major automobile companies and speculating stockholders had previously raised Geely Company's stock price.
Geek Technology Company quietly sold as much as 3% of its stock when the stock price was high.
This 3% of the stock brought Geek Technology Company an income of 1.6 billion yuan, so Geek Technology Company actually earned 1.6 billion yuan through this matter.
It can only be said that money comes really quickly in finance.
It is not easy for a thousand real enterprises to earn 1.6 billion yuan. Companies with annual incomes at this level are rare.
Now, Geek Technology Company has easily earned 1.6 billion yuan in the stock market through its intelligence advantage.
It can only be said that the speed at which money comes in finance is indeed very fast, but the disadvantage is that the risk is also very high.
If Toyota Akio had chosen to withdraw a week ago, then Geek Technology Company could have earned 1 billion yuan, which would have been considered a lot.
But because Toyota Akio did not choose to withdraw at that time, but firmly believed that Geek Technology Company would definitely not give up acquiring Geely Company.
Subsequently, he decided to continue to maintain the stock price, and also persuaded other companies not to sell their stock.
So, Geek Technology Company also took the opportunity to sell a total of 3% of its stock at a high price, making a huge profit of 1.6 billion yuan.
Presumably, Toyota Akio would vomit blood if he knew.
Of course, how much money is earned is not the most important thing, after all, the reason why Geek Technology Company wants to acquire Geely Company.
Is to obtain the many technical patent licenses owned by Geely Company and the technical patents they hold.
It is for their automobile factories, automobile 4S stores, skilled workers, automobile research and development teams, management teams, marketing teams, channels and other tangible and intangible things.
Although Geek Technology Company can build such a system by itself, it is certainly unavoidable to waste a long time. Where is it more convenient and easier to directly acquire an existing one?
Therefore, although Geek Technology Company publicly stated that it would give up acquiring Geely Company, it is actually still secretly acquiring shares.
Based on the current stock price, the 1.6 billion yuan earned from selling 3% of the shares before can at least buy back 6% of the shares.
At that time, Geely Company can be renamed Geek Auto Company and privatized for delisting.
And Geek Technology Company's electric vehicles and super automobile factories can also be injected into the newly established Geek Auto Company to continue to increase the proportion of shares.
Of course, these are all things for the future.
After all, neither the research and development of electric vehicles nor the construction of factories is an easy task.
And people will not let Geek Technology Company develop with peace of mind, and then launch electric vehicles to affect their interests.
No, the Ministry of Commerce held a meeting concerning Geek Technology Company.
A sword of Damocles hangs over Geek Technology Company's head!
United States, in a conference room.
At this time, the person sitting in the main seat is a middle-aged woman, she is the BOSS of the Ministry of Commerce.
As for why the BOSS is a woman, this is actually an old tradition.
In fact, it's not just a woman now, the B0SS of the Ministry of Commerce in 2024 is also a woman.
Of course, whether it is a man or a woman will not affect their authority and influence, so she is the person who can decide the life and death of Geek Technology Company.
The anti-monopoly investigation of Geek Technology Company before was approved by her. It can be said that this woman is one of the most hated existences by Gao Nian.
After all, without her approval and cooperation with the Department of Justice to launch an anti-monopoly investigation, how could Geek Technology Company have to bear an anti-monopoly lawsuit.
