........

Italy, Gucci headquarters.

President Ferrinder convened an emergency high-level meeting to discuss Barings Bank’s hostile acquisition of Gucci.

"What's going on with you? The stock price has skyrocketed in a short period of time, and there's no reaction at all. How ridiculous is that?" Ferrinder scolded a group of people.

A senior executive defended: "Bahrain Bank moved too quickly. When we reacted, they had already reached 34.4% of the shares. This is a very rare situation."

Everyone agreed with this view. The acquisition of Barings Bank was so rapid that it raised the stock price to more than 100% in a short period of time without wavering at all.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Ferrinder felt helpless. As the president of Gucci, he had not discovered this phenomenon and could not escape it.

"Bahrain Bank stopped acquiring 34.4%. It seems that it was afraid of touching the full acquisition line, or the superiors came to negotiate with us. In this case, let us tell you, what do you think of Barings Bank, a new investment banking giant?

Behind the US$8 billion Barings Bank is the world’s richest man, a legendary figure with a net worth of tens of billions of US dollars, and a giant in the capital market.”

Everyone suddenly became serious!

"We have two methods: first, let Barings Bank fully acquire it. If the price is really about 8 billion US dollars, I believe shareholders will be very willing to take action; second, introduce white knights to resist Barings Bank's attack."

"Yes, these two options are currently the most realistic!"

Ferrinder thought for a moment and said: "Then let's wait for Barings Bank to come to us and see what they mean first!"

At the price, it became the controlling shareholder of Barings Bank, accounting for 34.4% of the shares.
