The four major consortiums discovered for the first time how bureaucratic they were, how they hated the practice of using capital to stuff people into the government, and what they feared most was that they found themselves unable to control a company located in
However, if they did not use this ban, they could only watch the other party succeed in disgusting them.
The controllers of the four major consortiums debated this endlessly. Two of them believed that the ban should not be used immediately, which made things more complicated.
But the other two believed it should be used, and they had to teach those mud legs a harsh lesson, letting them know the consequences of offending the four major consortiums.
Conversely, if one company successfully resisted the four major consortiums and could still live well, then the power base of the four major consortiums throughout the United States would likely be shaken.
In the end, the four major consortiums reached an agreement. They did not dare to confront two hundred million people directly. They chose another relatively gentler approach, which was to directly seize the highest controlling power of the Western Mustang Fund.
In the eyes of the four major consortiums, even if 80% of the shares were divided equally among everyone, it was a good thing. This way, at least the shares in everyone's hands would appear insignificant, and these people could not unite against them. Then, they only needed to find a way to seize the remaining 20% of the shares to completely control the Western Mustang Fund.
The question was, where were the remaining 20% of the shares?
When the Western Mustang Fund was first established, Huang He himself had taken all the shares of the Western Mustang Fund. However, later, in order to gain the support of domestic forces in the United States, the Western Mustang Fund accepted investment from the US Priority Fund Foundation, and the US Priority Fund Foundation took 20% of the shares from it.
So, this portion of the shares was actually in the hands of the US Priority Fund Foundation. This foundation had always been relatively mysterious, and no one knew who the boss behind it was. At the same time, there was also Mrs. Versailles, a Black homosexual woman who was almost canonized, making it difficult to deal with.
Moreover, the US Priority Fund Foundation had successively supported several presidential candidates, so its relationship with the government was also good. The four major consortiums had not thought of touching it.
It was just that, as everyone knows, this foundation had an unusually close relationship with Jiangnan Group, and the two parties had a long-term cooperation of more than ten years. Many of Jiangnan Group's investments in the United States were jointly made with this foundation.
The National Foundation also made a lot of astonishing profits from Jiangnan Group, otherwise, it would not have been able to support Mrs. Versailles in investing hundreds of millions of dollars every month in black charity activities.
Therefore, this foundation would definitely not easily obey. They did not want to move it before, but now that the shares were in the hands of the US Priority Fund Foundation, the four major consortiums felt that they had to move even if they didn't want to.
However, they still politely sent an acquisition letter to the US Priority Fund Foundation, hoping to obtain the Western Mustang Fund shares in their hands.
Then, the US Priority Fund Foundation replied to the four major consortiums very decisively: OK, no problem at all.
Uh...
Considering that the background of the US Priority Fund Foundation was indeed a bit tricky, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble at this time, and because problems that could be solved with money were not problems, the four major consortiums soon began negotiations with the US Priority Fund Foundation for the acquisition.
The attitude of the US Priority Fund Foundation was very clear, that is, they would definitely support the actions of the four major consortiums, and immediately draw a clear line with Jiangnan Group. The shares could also be handed over, as long as they were paid.
The four major consortiums were very happy, so they began to negotiate the acquisition price. As a result, the US Priority Fund Foundation took the opportunity to make an exorbitant demand, asking for 400 billion US dollars for 20% of the shares.
The four major consortiums naturally would not accept this price, so the two parties fell into a rather long price negotiation.
As the Western Mustang Fund was still in the hands of the Chinese, the four major consortiums could only take a step back and accept the other party's final offer of 350 billion US dollars, spending a huge cost to obtain the control of the Western Mustang Fund from the US Priority Fund Foundation.
At this point, the four major consortiums felt that the dust had settled.
Therefore, on the afternoon of the day the equity transfer agreement was signed, a large business lawyer team organized by the four major consortiums directly went to the headquarters of the Western Mustang Fund, directly faced the responsible person at the headquarters, and proposed to immediately convene a board meeting to re-discuss the issue of the company's chairman.
For this extremely legitimate request, the Western Mustang Fund naturally had no room for opposition. The board meeting was soon convened as scheduled, and Little Swift himself appeared at the company headquarters, facing the representatives of these four major consortiums.
The four major consortiums presented their 20% equity certificates and then righteously stated that, having lost all shares, Little Swift, along with the Jiangnan Group behind him, had automatically lost the position of chairman. The company should now be controlled by the joint fund with the most shares.
The Joint Fund was a company specially established by the four major consortiums to deal with Jiangnan Group, with each of the four holding 25% of the shares.
Little Swift did not deny this. Instead, he politely admitted that Jiangnan Group had indeed lost control of the Western Mustang Fund.
However, in the next second, Little Swift took out a USB drive.
"What is this?" The representatives of the four major consortiums suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"This is the electronic version of the equity authorization agreement for the 88 million shareholders. The quantity is too large to be put into formal documents, so I specifically prepared this 2TB USB drive."
"If you gentlemen have any doubts, you can take these USB drives and check every document inside to see if it truly comes from each different American, and whether the fingerprint and facial recognition on it are also their personal information!"
"However, these 88 million shareholders have completely entrusted the management rights of their shares to me, deciding that I will act as their proxy for their shares and exert influence within Western Mustang."
"Although these 28 million equity authorization agreements only account for 21% of the total shares, by chance, it is 1% more than your 20%, so for the time being, I can still serve as the chairman of the company!"
Little Swift said with a smile, while the four major consortiums representatives present were dumbfounded. Obtaining direct share authorization from over 88 million users, how was this possible? Wasn't this a joke? How did he contact 88 million users?
Therefore, the representatives of the four major consortiums expressed serious doubt about these 88 million authorization letters, and they absolutely did not recognize the 21% share authorization held by Little Swift.
Little Swift naturally anticipated this. Therefore, he immediately stated that since both parties could not trust each other, and the authenticity of the data could not be confirmed, the board meeting could not be convened before the shares were finally confirmed, and therefore the director could not be replaced.
So he was still the chairman of the Western Mustang Fund, and he asked the directors to leave now, as he had to continue working.
The representatives of the four major consortiums left in a rather numb state. The first thing they did upon returning was to immediately send people to count the number and authenticity of these authorization letters.
As a result, the legal personnel of the four major consortiums endured the greatest torment of their lives. It took them a full 30 days to finally read a total of 88 million authorization letters, and then confirmed that the authorizations and identity proofs within were valid and not invalid.
As for why Little Swift obtained such a large number of authorization letters, the answer was quickly investigated and clarified.
It turned out that after completing all the share donations, Jiangnan Group immediately used its control over personal terminals to send a push notification directly to the screen's main interface to all users who received shares and filled in their personal information.
It asked whether the users were willing to continue having Little Swift serve as the chairman of the Western Mustang Fund and act as their proxy for the voting rights of their shares for the next three years.
The result was self-evident. A total of 88 million people chose to agree. What a joke, how could they refuse the God of Finance to operate their stocks?
Moreover, the previous impressive performance of the Western Mustang Fund fully demonstrated Little Swift's strong personal ability, and he had a thorough understanding of the Western Mustang Fund. It would be foolish to replace him with a newcomer, as this was stock that could bring them dividends every year.
As for why the remaining over 200 million people did not choose to agree, it was not that they wanted to change people, but they were annoyed by such push notifications and closed the push without even looking at the content. This led to them not having time to click the agree button.
