Because the stock price soared due to the leak of the rumors, Li Mu stopped the plan to let Apple's management sign today, and then put Tim Cook aside, who had been in talks for more than half. Lin Qingya told Tim Cook that Li Mu would now help Apple clean their butts first and then take the next step with them, otherwise, the acquisition would be terminated forever.

Tim Cook did not doubt Li Mu's words at all. Apple is up and down. Until now, no one knows Li Mu's true intention to acquire Apple and how much Li Mu values ​​Apple. So in their opinion, Li Mu may have thought it through at any time and completely give up the acquisition of Apple. By that time, Apple will basically not be far from bankruptcy.

When Li Mu said he was wiping Apple's butt, Tim Cook didn't dare to refute it at all, because he knew very well that the leak of the news must have originated from within Apple, because the news spread widely within Apple, not only all the senior management, but even all the middle-level managers knew it clearly. But Muye Technology only knew the company's plan to acquire Apple, and these core layers were extremely close to the company's interests, and they were all Chinese, so the possibility of revealing the news to Wall Street was almost zero.

Li Mu, who left Apple's owner aside, immediately summoned all members of the acquisition project team to continue the meeting, but the meeting had completely changed direction, from discussing how to complete Apple's privatization as soon as possible to how to deal with the huge fluctuations in Apple's stock price.

In the conference room, Li Mu first clarified his two requirements. He said: "As for the Apple stock price this time, we must first turn the stock price back below $4, and secondly, sharpen the knife and give these stock operating institutions that want to make a fortune on their heads."

Louis Martin said: "Mr. Li, it is too simple to push the stock price back below $4. We just need to show that we have no intention of acquiring Apple, and the stock price will definitely collapse."

Li Mu nodded and said, "This is indeed the best way to lower the stock price, but one thing is very important, that is: we will not give up on the acquisition of Apple! If we declare to the public that we will give up the acquisition and then suddenly announce the acquisition decision after the stock price collapses, it will inevitably have a significant impact on our corporate image."

Louis Martin said seriously: "Mr. Li, in the United States, it is normal for such a backlash. Every entrepreneur likes to put smoke bombs in front of the public, and the people have long been used to it."

Li Mu agreed: "Yes, in the American market where capitalism is extremely developed, it is very common for entrepreneurs to lie and go back on their word. Of course, China is not much better than you. Many of our entrepreneurs are also old foxes who are full of lies. Today, they swear that they will never do anything, and they immediately break their promises when they turn their heads."

As he said that, Li Mu's tone became serious and said seriously: "However, Muye Technology is different from any American company, and it is also different from any Chinese company. It is a benchmark and a banner. It represents the global integration of the Internet and the people-oriented and user-oriented Internet spirit. Therefore, it must not lie in front of the people, nor can it achieve its capital goals by lying."

Louis Martin was slightly stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Mu's requirements for himself and Muye Technology were too strict, but soon he felt relieved. Li Mu was a principled person. Sometimes this kind of person seemed a little stubborn and a little stupid, but looking at Li Mu's achievements, he found that such stubbornness and stupidity were not because of the small loss of big things, but because of the small loss of big things.

Lin Qingya spoke at this time: "Mr. Li, the intensity of speech guidance in the market seems to be increasing. I want to confirm whether you are fueling the fire behind the scenes?"

Lin Qingya is almost one of Li Mu's earliest core members in the early stage of Li Mu's business. She has an extraordinary understanding of Li Mu's style of doing things. Although when the stock price began to fluctuate today, there were remarks that Muye Technology's possibility of purchasing Apple was very low, and it induces retail investors to sell, but that kind of force could reach 50 points at most. However, not long after Li Mu went out and made a call, the online remarks began to increase their intensity. Many people came out to criticize the possibility of Apple being acquired, and even created huge panic among retail investors, allowing retail investors to accelerate their selling. The gap between the methods before and after this was very big. Lin Qingya could guess that the main organization of Nasdaq should be operating in the first half, and in the second half, Li Mu's army should be running.

Facing Lin Qingya's problem, Li Mu smiled deeply, was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, I arranged someone to add fuel to the main organization and assist them behind the back."

Lin Qingya blinked and said, "You are so motivating, today more than 70% of retail investors' stocks have been sucked away by the main force. If you wait any longer, you will probably be more than 80%..."

Retail investors are the group that cannot withstand fooling and intimidation. If panic is really created, thousands of retail investors will choose to escape at the same time. On the contrary, if opportunities are depicted, thousands of retail investors will pour in with their money.

Main institutions often use the characteristics of retail investors to play retail investors like monkeys. When he is optimistic about a stock, he will first make retail investors lose confidence in the stock and criticize the stock through various means through all channels. Then retail investors cannot resist the intimidation and sell it. The main force takes over with a smile, and then raises the stock price. At this time, retail investors will feel: Why does which stock I sell and which stock will rise?

If the prospects of a stock among the main opponents are no longer optimistic, he will make retail investors full of confidence in this stock first, and the world is filled with good news about this stock, making people feel that they can soar and break the secret. Then retail investors think they have unique vision and buy a lot of money waiting for appreciation. As a result, the main force successfully shipped the stocks in their hands, and then the stock price fell. Retail investors were deeply trapped in the form of a buyer. At this time, retail investors will think: Why does which stock I buy and which stock will fall?

Apple's stock has been sluggish for a long time, and retail investors have been exhausted. Today, they suddenly said that Muye Technology is going to acquire it. Everyone was extremely excited, but this excitement did not last long. A large number of remarks on the market that criticized Apple, which made most retail investors feel that Muye Technology's possibility of purchasing Apple is basically zero. So they, who were already exhausted, made another roller coaster, and the last trace of belief was exhausted. So everyone cut their losses and stopped losses. Everyone was afraid that when Muye Technology officially denied the rumors, the stock price would fall to a new low.

At this moment, the main institutions were almost fainting happily. In their eyes, Apple's stocks were like gold, but they never expected that they wanted to take the opportunity to make money from Li Mu, but they didn't know that Li Mu had already sharpened his knife and put it on their necks.

In the conference room, Li Mu snorted and said, "If most retail investors clear their positions, then we can wave their swords with confidence."

After saying that, Li Mu said to Lin Qingya: "Qingya, I have been prepared for information release in the past. The release content is: Muye Technology will only consider acquiring when Apple's stock price is less than US$3.5. If it is 1 cent higher than this price, Muye Technology will not acquire even one-tenth of Apple's shares."

"$3.5?" Everyone was stunned.

Louis Martin looked at Li Mu and said in a daze: "Mr. Li, your move is really..."

Seeing that he hadn't finished speaking, Li Mu asked with a smile: "Is it sinister?"

"No..." Louis Martin shook his head, gave a thumbs up, and said, "It's perfect!"

According to Li Mu's requirements for Muye Technology and himself, he must never declare to the outside world that he is not planning to acquire Apple in order to suppress Apple's current stock price. However, Louis Martin did not expect that Li Mu would use a strange way of public pricing to achieve this goal.

If Muye Technology issues this statement and clearly states that Apple's stock price exceeds $3.5 per cent, Muye Technology will not consider it, then there is no need to think that Apple's stock price will quickly fall below this price. Otherwise, as long as the price exceeds $3.5, Apple will not be able to be acquired by Muye Technology, and it must digest all the negative effects at this stage alone. In that case, it will inevitably continue to fall. So there is no doubt that as long as Li Mu issues this statement, no one can make Apple's stock price stand above $3.5.

If Apple's stock price falls below $3.5, then Apple's stock price can immediately gain a foothold, because at that price, the prerequisite for Li Mu to acquire Apple is established. Everyone just needs to wait for Li Mu to formally submit a privatization application to Nasdaq.

At present, the only one who is willing to acquire Apple and can immediately take out money to acquire it is probably Muye Technology. No one else will think that acquiring Apple is a good deal. The IPOD business is dead and faces huge losses. The Ma business is being crushed by Microsoft on the concrete floor for so many years, and if you buy such an Apple for billions of dollars, there is basically no possibility of turning around.

Therefore, even if Li Mu pressed the circulating stock price below US$3.5, he would not encounter any competitors.

Louis Martin asked Li Mu at this time: "Mr. Li, if this is the case, will the offer to Apple be renegotiated?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "We use a dual-track system. The non-circulating shares of Apple shareholders will still acquire them at 90% of US$4.15. The outstanding shares will be acquired at a share price below US$3.5 without any premium."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

In order not to leave a bad impression of Zhou Baopi, Li Mu deliberately prepared a 1:1.5 privatization condition for the outstanding shares, and it was based on US$4.15, which means that Li Mu was willing to pay US$6.22 per share for the outstanding shares.

However, now Li Mu has repented that he wants to lower the price of outstanding shares to US$3.5, so...

Ding Jian said with a worried look: "Mr. Li, if we are so strong in privatization quotations, will it arouse investors' disgust?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "If I had posted such news before today, I would have been scolded to death by Wall Street and Nasdaq investors. However, with these main institutions coming out to assist today, it would have given us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Speaking of this, Li Mu said: "I will arrange a new round of public opinion war soon, accusing securities investment institutions of deliberately spreading negative remarks this time, luring ordinary investors to sell Apple stocks in an ugly face, and first arouse public anger in front of Volkswagen investors. In this way, those investors who were deceived from the car will definitely hate these securities investment institutions to the core, and will also arouse the public's disgust and hatred for securities investment institutions. As long as this is done to the extreme, then the scene that these mass investors are most happy to see must be that these securities investment institutions are punished and paid the price."

Everyone present nodded in agreement. If this public opinion guide is to the extreme, securities investment institutions will become the objects that the masses hate the most. They will regard securities investment institutions as bandits, robbers, thieves and shameless people who are full of lies. What they most look forward to is to see these bandits and robbers step onto the guillotine.

Li Mu continued: "If this step is done well, we will issue another decision to acquire less than $3.5. The stock price collapses, but the public investors will not hate us, because before the stock price collapses, their stocks have been deceived by these securities investment institutions. What we cut are the leeks of these securities investment institutions, which is equivalent to giving the public investors a sigh of anger. Will they still hate us? No, they will only applaud and regard us as heroes! And they are superheroes who cut bandits and avenge them!"

Everyone is alive. If someone robs his money, he will definitely hate the other party. If someone comes to this time, he robs the person who robs him and beats him up, he will inevitably feel much more relieved, although the person who snatched away later was his finances that originally belonged to him.

If it weren't for the mass base, Li Mu wouldn't have given Nasdaq retail investors 150% privatization conditions. Now, since the masses have lost their Apple stocks, they will no longer have to worry about it when they wave their swords.

Everyone in the conference room was excited because they realized that Makino Technology was about to be a blessing in disguise!

...

When retail investors sold their Apple stocks almost finished, a terrible remark suddenly appeared on the Internet on the market.

This remark unswervingly declared that Apple investors have been deceived by securities investment institutions. They have created various panics to induce retail investors to sell their stocks, and then crazily absorb funds through various methods. Now, all the stocks in retail investors have entered the pockets of these investment institutions, and they are ready to take a ride and make a big profit.

Although this kind of remark has existed before, it has been so slight in the face of panic remarks that it has never been able to push its own opinions. But now, such remarks have suddenly become overwhelming, and their influence spreads rapidly, which is simply incredible.

However, this remark lists many detailed evidence and further proves his point of view with practical information, which has caused a great impact among the ordinary investor group for a time!

These investors who realized the scammers were in anger and criticized, condemned, and protested the practices of investment institutions in various ways, but they could only show off their verbal benefits. After all, although the practices of investment institutions are immoral, they are not illegal, and everyone can't do anything to them at all.

This is the case in the stock market all over the world. Retail investors are played with by the main players in a fancy way. Is it normal for stock markets to be fair? It doesn’t exist.

The more you have nowhere to seek justice, the more you are fooled investors are holding their anger, and the more the fire is getting stronger and stronger. Subconsciously, these investors are beginning to look forward to a miracle that is theoretically impossible. They look forward to someone helping them and seeking rewards to these capitalists who are not spitting out bones, so that they can pay the price!
