"What do you want today?" An Amazon executive asked with a serious and helpless expression as he led the group of people who had attracted everyone's attention in the first-floor lobby to the reception room.
"Of course, we're here to talk about cooperation. Has Amazon become so awesome that it no longer needs cooperation?" The speaker was B.
"Of course, the relevant transaction documents will be announced at the board meeting in three days. Of course, I have a copy here. If you are interested, I can show it to you now!" Cody prepared to take out documents from his backpack again.
"No need. Let's proceed according to your company's wishes and convene the board meeting in three days. After all, you are the largest shareholder!" Bezos said this without his facial muscles twitching.
Although he already knew that Jiangnan Group was secretly acquiring Amazon's shares, he thought that Jiangnan Group could at most purchase no more than 20% of the shares. In this way, with the 10% of Amazon shares he held, he could continue to be the largest shareholder of Amazon.
But he never expected that Jiangnan Group could quietly purchase 35% of the shares, which greatly exceeded his control and expectations.
Because he held 10% of Amazon's shares, 20% of the shares were circulating in the stock market, and the remaining 70% of the shares were held by investors. How did this Jiangnan Group manage to buy 35% of the shares?
Although a large part of these 35% shares should be circulating stocks in the market, since Amazon only had 20% circulating shares, the other party could at most acquire 5% of circulating shares on the market. If the quantity was more, it would cause Amazon's stock price to soar.
When he learned that someone intended to acquire Amazon, he immediately visited all the major shareholders, explained the malicious intent of this acquisition, and also showed them Amazon's bright future.
These institutions that invested in Amazon were not fools. They would never sell as much as 30% of their shares at the current price! Therefore, Bezos did not worry about Jiangnan's acquisition conditions at first, believing that unless they were willing to spend more than 40 billion US dollars for the acquisition, there would be no possibility of reaching an agreement.
However, the shares now held by the other party made Bezos feel a bit dizzy.
An hour later, Cody's team left proudly, and Bezos calmly continued to work in the company. However, after work, he did not rush home. Instead, he unusually stayed at a bar for two hours before returning home drunk.
Then he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie being entertained by his wife, smiling and waiting for him at home.
