"Feng, you still don't want to be interviewed?"
"At this sensitive time, let's forget it. Isn't the public relations company the same opinion?"
Although there are no strict requirements like keeping silent when listing, the relevant US agencies also have very strict requirements on the disclosure of information during the company's mergers and acquisitions.
"Before we finally succeed, we better keep a low profile,"
Although the progress seems gratifying, although the external companies hired are very optimistic about the ongoing approvals, Feng Yiping, as the leader, has never dared to take it lightly.
This will be a big publicity, and it is likely to inspire some people and companies who didn't care about Coin Star. Oh, it turned out to be a company with such a good prospect?
may lead to a third party.
That is really shooting myself in the foot.
Although in the merger agreement, regarding the certainty of the transaction and the withdrawal plan in the event of a major unfavorable event, the legal counsel headed by Baker McKenzie & Co. has included many favorable terms for Feng Yiping.
For example, both parties have made a Non- (no active solicitation) commitment, that is, either party shall not actively solicit any third party, and conclude a transaction other than the merger transaction between the two parties.
Not actively soliciting commitments is an important guarantee to guarantee the certainty of transactions.
However, for Coinstar, if there is a higher offer before the final approval, from the perspective of the Fiduciary duty (fiduciary duty) of the Board of Directors of Coinstar, they are obliged to conclude a transaction with the higher bidder.
The "Fiduciaryout" (fiduciary export) clause has become a necessary clause for listed companies. In the merger agreement, Coinstar has required the export of fiduciary responsibility.
From the perspective of NEXTDOOR, if other transactions of the entrusted responsibility export are reached, he has the right to ask Coinstar to compensate US$30 million in cash.
But even if it is a compensation of 300 million US dollars, Feng Yiping still will not agree, because this acquisition is the beginning of his own series of layouts, and it is the key to the success of his own vision. He cannot accept the result of failure at all.
"When I invited some well-known media friends over, I made some promises to them," Buchanan said.
"Explain to them that similar interviews will be arranged later. This time, we are even in debt,"
"Since you are unwilling, from the overall picture, it may affect the approval, then I respect your opinion. As for the reporters, I will fix it."
"Thank you,"
"But Feng, I will not reluctantly this time, but after the successful completion of this acquisition, can you go to the last talk show?"
"Hehe," Feng Yiping simply put down his work and looked at Buchanan, "This is your goal, right,"
"Yes, this is my purpose," Buchanan did not shy away. "Didn't you always insist and advocate, integrate all the resources that can be integrated to serve the company? I think that when it comes to publicizing the company, you are The highest quality resources,"
Originally, he didn't have to work so hard, but who would call his boss a Chinese?
Before he became famous, he gave lectures everywhere, from Ivy League universities, to corporate clubs, to some industry associations, and even some companies.
But after his popularity in the United States grew, Feng Yiping, who was young, was like other Chinese people Buchanan knew. The more successful he became, the more famous he became, and the less he liked to appear in public.
But this is in the United States.
The United States is a country that respects individualism and worships heroes. Why not use such good conditions?
"Well, I promise you, but Buchanan, you can tell me directly about similar things in the future, and I can still listen to your opinions."
"Okay, I will correct it too," Buchanan agreed readily.
But he himself knows that such a habit should be difficult to change.
As an aide to a big figure before, Buchanan allows people to accept his own opinions. He has always been more euphemistic, pursuing an effect similar to moisturizing things and quietly. He said that this is not his style of acting.
"You are busy, I will contact those column groups,"
"Wait, don't worry," Feng Yiping carefully closed the door tightly. "Now, the follow-up work has arrived," he said in a low voice, "Have you ever been in contact with McDonald's senior management?"
"McDonald's?" Buchanan thought for a while, "It's a coincidence, the old Jim who was in danger at the end of last year, we have had more than one encounter before."
Once a symbol of the United States and American culture, the fast food giant McDonald’s, these two years are really sad. Since 1998, the company's stock price has shrunk by an astonishing 70%, and the stock market value has lost nearly 20 billion US dollars!
In the fourth quarter of last year, in the 37 years since it went public, this fast food giant has made a historic loss! Suddenly fell through the glasses.
Finally, on December 5 last year, former CEO Jack Greenberg was forced to resign under internal and external pressure. McDonald’s immediately appointed Jim Cantalupo as the company’s chairman and CEO.
The retired Cantalupo is a veteran of McDonald’s. He joined McDonald’s in 1974, served as vice president of the company in 1975, was in charge of the company’s overseas business in 1987, and served as president and chief executive officer in 1991. Highly prestigious, he retired in early 2002 and was ordered to be in danger last year.
"Very good," Feng Yiping thought it was a good omen. It was really luck that everything was directed towards him.
"You will establish contact with him in the near future. When appropriate, it is best to visit him in Chicago once to consolidate and enhance your friendship and introduce our company to him in due course."
"What is the purpose of doing this?"
"Wait until the completion of the acquisition of CoinStar, we have two things to do. Merbach will lead the original team to negotiate with more friends and businessmen to promote the new business model."
"The other thing is related to McDonald's, and it is the most critical part of our next plan," Feng Yiping bought Guanzi.
"The most critical link?" Buchanan frowned and thought about it, then suddenly shouted, "Boss, aren't you going to buy McDonald's next!"
Feng Yiping, "...,"
"I thank you for being so confident in me,"
…………
Jin Ling and the three of them, it is naturally impossible to stay in the United States until the dust settles on the acquisition. The day after the announcement was made, they embarked on the journey back to China.
On the way to the airport, Feng Yiping was a little unaccustomed to Jin Ling's chatter, "I said, when did you learn such a mother-in-law?"
"Yiping, how do you talk?" Huang Jingping groaned, "Sister Jin, don't care about him. Sometimes he just has a little door on his lips."
"I don't care about him in general," Jin Ling said, "Don't think that you are young and in good health. You can just leave it alone, like you are now, without a day off, and often in the middle of the night or early morning. I don’t think it will take a few years to deal with urgent domestic work, and you will decline before you get old."
"This, too, we didn't do a good job. Yiping. From now on, we will try not to disturb you in the United States at night," Zhou Xinyu criticized himself.
"You are really, what does it matter? Don't worry, I still have enough sleep time every day,"
"What he said is true?" Jin Ling asked Huang Jingping.
"It rarely takes more than 6 hours, and I say it's useless,"
"Look, there are few rest periods, and the whole person has been in a very tight state~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In your words, is this sustainable?"
"At Ping, Rome was not built in a day. Even if you can't rest on weekends, it is better to go to a distant place for a vacation, relax and adjust your state," Zheng Jiayi also advised.
"Actually, I'm really nothing. You haven't seen someone more desperate." Peppa and Brin appeared in front of Feng Yiping. Recently, they have regarded the company as family for many days.
"In my opinion, during the period of merger approval, you happen to be out on vacation. You can go to Europe or Africa, either," Jin Ling suggested.
"It's really hard to get away. Google is also planning to go public. Page and the others are busy developing products. I must be involved in the preparations before going public. Tesla has just been established, and new employees join every day, and new problems every day. Appears, the approval process for the acquisition of Coinstar, and the progress of the lawsuit over there, I must always pay attention to...,"
After that, when the acquisition of Coinstar is completed, I am afraid that I will be busier. I must be busy to boost its performance, and I must also be busy with the next step. Then Tesla should be roughly equipped with personnel and more. It takes time to pay attention and raise some points, so that they can avoid detours..., this seems to be a time when they are really lacking.
He actually enjoys such a day. (To be continued.)
