"Starbucks now has a share price of $14.7, compared with $19.8 at the beginning of the Black Knight program, with a market value of $1.75 billion lost, and a total market value of $5.3 billion."

Andy looks at the data in his hand, and listens to the group leader in charge of the Black Knight plan introducing the plan process. He is very satisfied with their work. Although the plan uses many other resources to cooperate, it can achieve this obvious effect, and the result is quite remarkable.

"Boss, the acquisition of Starbucks should be launched. We have almost reached the end of the negative news and attack means we can use. At present, there are various signs that its stock price has reached the bottom support position. In the future, if there is good news from Starbucks, it will hit the bottom and rebound."

According to Al's timely advice, if it's not a really fatal problem to crack down on a restaurant chain, it's difficult to crack down on the stock price of a listed company into a junk stock. After a period of centralized public relations, negative news will be offset, and the stock price may bottom out and rebound.

Andy raised his head, looked at al and nodded, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to look at the last piece of information in his hand. There were ten lines at a glance,

'Swedish scientists discovered unexpectedly in 2002 that acrylamide would be produced in high-temperature starchy food, such as French fries, potato chips or heating temperature over 120 ℃ of the facility ° C bread, Starbucks commercial baking has a very high baking temperature, and the same kind of food containing starch, the darker the color after hot cooking, the stronger the flavor, the higher the yield of acrylamide.

Basically all coffees on the market may contain acrylamide... At present, there is not enough evidence to prove that acrylamide is a carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic) to human body. '

Andy frowns tightly, looks up at the meeting room for a week, and then asks, "what's on the last page of the data tells me is that drinking coffee may cause cancer?"

"Acrylamide is a toxic carcinogenic chemical. It's not from the coffee beans themselves, but from the roasting process of coffee," explains one person in charge of the data compilation of the think tank. At the same time, it will also exist in foods such as toast, French fries, baked biscuits and fried dough sticks.

A 50 kg adult Nian takes 130 μ g, or 10 kg of coffee a day, to drink carcinogenic dose. 10 kg of coffee is about the same as 28 Starbucks cups of coffee.

At present, there is not enough evidence to show that acrylamide is carcinogenic to human body, but it may cause cancer.

But I think it's a data that can be used to create panic and knock down Starbucks' stock price! "

The faces of other members of the think tank, including Andy, all twitched a little unnaturally. Looking at the slanting glasses, the golden hair was combed into a big back. He was a very polite elite subordinate. He looked at the smile on the other side's face. He felt like a dog in the sun. It was too dark for him.

"Cough, let's not talk about the dosage and toxicity. It's a hooligan..." Andy looked down at the details in his hand and whispered to himself in a black voice.

is not loud, but the conference room is quiet enough. People hear the boss's tuckles, and they make complaints about the gentle eyebrows of the glasses.

"Boss, I think this thing can be operated completely. It will cause a fatal blow to Starbucks, and it will distract their great Jing strength and attention to carry out crisis public relations.

This kind of frightening hearsay, although logically untenable, can cause great panic effect in a short period of time, leading to public opinion siege, public concern, resulting in stock price plummeting, and even stampede, directly breaking through the current support position of Starbucks stock price. We can start bottom price absorption while shorting.

Moreover, this data has existed for a long time, and many large catering companies also know it, and have been spending money to dilute and cover up this fact. After we buy Starbucks, the role will change. We will face this time bomb instead. In the future, someone may use this data to conduct directional blasting on us.

It's better to detonate it by ourselves before, because Starbucks doesn't belong to us now. In any way, it's very beneficial to us! "

Dada -

after listening to the analysis of jingsiwen man, Andy's fingers hit the desktop quickly, his nails hit the desktop, making a clear dada sound, and his eyes flashed with brilliant colors.

"What do you think, Al? Will it directly destroy the brand? "

"It can control the pace well. At first, it is mainly to suppress Starbucks. When the public opinion ferments and panic spreads and the goal is achieved, it can expand the scope of attack and share the pressure of Starbucks. At that time, the coffee industry association will naturally come out to clarify, but the impact on Starbucks in the short term will be great, so the proposal is feasible!"

Hearing al's words, Andy looks at Sven's glasses and says with a smile, "Randy Watson... Then it's up to you to operate. I'll authorize you to mobilize all media resources in a short period of time. Don't let me down! "

"Thank you boss, I won't let you down!" Randy Watson replied, a little excited."Ha ha, I'm waiting to see your wonderful performance. Everyone, we are also ready to launch the plan. We have been laying the groundwork for Starbucks' Acquisition for a long time. I hope that once it is launched, we will make a quick decision to complete the acquisition in a crushing manner! "

Andy chuckled twice, his face became serious, and he said solemnly.

"I see!"

All the people in the conference room answered in unison.

After the meeting, Andy and Al walked to the office side by side. Andy said with some emotion, "this hostile takeover may make the impression of the outside world on me worse. Let's be criticized..."

"In the early 80s, when leveraged buyouts were carried out in a frenzy, they meant layoffs or salary cuts - which was also the most denounced part of public opinion and morality, and was severely criticized and denounced by the media at that time.

Too strong greed penetrated into the business life at that time.

And the boss, you really want to acquire Starbucks for better asset allocation and greater development. As long as we make Starbucks more powerful, no one will care about what we do now, and people will always worship the winners! "

Andy smiles and shakes his head. When he enters the office, he takes the coffee from the assistant. He just wants to drink it. He seems to think of something. He hesitates. He looks at al with a wry smile and says, "I made Randy Watson's data a little suspicious..."

As he spoke, he blew his coffee and took a sip. Al shook his head and laughed. The assistant blinked a few times because he was not sure.

"We still need to prevent Starbucks from launching the poison pill program to deal with our hostile takeover."

"But there are too many shareholders in Starbucks, 6000, and if they want to issue preferred shares, those large shareholders can't accept the huge loss of the diluted shares after the share price is almost cut back, so it's difficult to pass the poison pill plan in Starbucks.

On the contrary, we should prevent him from introducing a third party, the white knight, to deal with our malicious M & A at a higher price, resulting in the situation that the third party bids with us for Starbucks.

In the case of white knight, we can either raise the price or give up the merger. "

Andy nodded with deep thought, frowned and touched his chin, and said: "first, we'll absorb more than 10% of the shares. Then, even if there's a white knight's trouble, what we have is circulating shares. If the price is too outrageous, we'll use the share price to get a big profit. Then we'll turn around and slowly clean up the enterprises that are against me. Anyway, this time from Starbucks The profit is enough to make up for our layout this time. It's not my style to be ambitious! "
