Tim Cook was left alone by Li Mu and Lin Qingya all day. Until the close, he and Apple's shareholders were worried, fearing that the abnormal fluctuations in the stock price this time would make Muye Technology give up the acquisition of Apple or adjust the acquisition offer for Apple shareholders.

The sharp rise in stock prices means an increase in the cost of privatization. Although Muye Technology can directly force Apple to delist after obtaining collective signatures from Apple shareholders, the delisting price cannot be lower than the real-time stock price. This is the most basic premise. Secondly, the delisted offer can prevent all investors of circulating stocks from nodding, but Nasdaq must nod, otherwise forced privatization is impossible.

Therefore, Nasdaq is the dictatorial father of all Nasdaq stockholders. He only needs to nod his head and agree to the privatization. It doesn’t matter what the children at home have.

Based on this point, if the institution gets the chips and raises the stock price, it can get the full takeover of Makino Technology;

Moreover, everyone knows that Li Mu does not want to leave a bad impression on Nasdaq shareholders, so he will definitely give a premium of more than 20% of the stock price according to the practice of Nasdaq's delisting, which is another huge profit for institutions.

If Li Mu was angry and said-goodbye to Apple, then all Apple shareholders would have to take care of them, and the options in Tim Cook would basically be wasted. Apple has been in vain over the years, and as for joining Muye Technology, it is probably impossible.

If Li Mu continues to acquire Apple after the stock price increases, the cost of his privatization will inevitably increase a lot. With Li Mu's temper, he will definitely not pay so much in vain. The biggest possibility is to let Apple shareholders pay the bill themselves.

A comprehensive acquisition is equivalent to 100 yuan and 37 cents, shareholders take three, shareholders take seven. If for some reason, shareholders want to get four, and the person controlling the market is unwilling to spend extra money, then shareholders can only get six.

If it is the second result, then apples can barely accept it. If it is the first type, everyone will basically lose their money.

However, Tim Cook never dreamed that Li Mu would guide public opinion through some means, making securities investment institutions the target of public criticism, and then used an extremely rough statement to directly cut the institutions into two pieces. This operation was regarded by Apple as a model of violent aesthetics in the financial world.

Li Mu showed the absolute majesty of the Oriental paternalist style to the speculators of Nasdaq. First, if your father says he will hit you, he will hit you, and he will hit you without reason. Secondly, no one can control your father’s spanking, and the police will not care about it. Finally, when your father spans, you must stand up. If you dare to run, hide, or disobey, the belt around your father’s waist will have close contact with your butt.

Tim Cook sat in Apple's conference room, facing a group of Apple executives, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "People, to be honest, I really don't know that today's incident can end with such a result. To be honest, I'm really stunned."

A shareholder who knows Chinese said, "There is an idiom in China called "Five-body" and it is the most suitable way to describe my current mood."

Another shareholder sighed: "Li Mu's way of playing is that simple, we can think of it, but we never think this kind of thing is feasible. If we directly announce the acquisition reserve price, we will worry about being detained for manipulating the stock price; if we rob the profits from institutions, we will worry about being boycotted in the market in the future; if we privatize the real-time stock price, we will worry about Nasdaq's disagreement, and if we are worried that investors and investors will scold us as bandits, but Li Mu is not worried about anything. He did it naturally and directly, and he did it neatly and smoothly. This is the huge difference brought about by different courage..."

Tim Cook said: "Johnson, don't be misled by Li Mu. He is not a reckless man who just cares about courage. His real ability is to handle all possible threats and influences before the knife is taken off. You saw him cut the profits of the institution with one knife. But behind this is Li Mu's real-time grasp of the entire Nasdaq trend and the pure application of the rules. Why did he wait until the closing of the market to issue this statement? I guess he has been monitoring the direction of Apple's circulating stocks and knowing that most of the chips have entered the institution's pockets, so he started decisively at this time."

"Also, Li Mu did a complete guide to public opinion. He first exposed the behavior of institutions to absorb funds to the sun, and then guided public opinion to criticize these institutions on a large scale, and at the same time aroused the anger of all ordinary investors towards the institutions, laying a strong mass base for himself. This is the strategy that the Chinese are best at. Just like the peasant uprising in the history of ancient Xia in Hua, the first thing the initiator had to do was to let the masses stand with him and make the masses hate their enemies. Li Mu also did this. His propaganda methods were too powerful and too clever. There was no evidence that Li Mu was manipulating public opinion. However, although the masses were still in the dark, everyone here should understand that all this must be secretly promoted by Li Mu."

"In addition, Li Mu also figured out the pulse of Nasdaq. In theory, the stock prices of listed companies are all manifestations of actual value. The 1:1 price is only suitable for normal trading. Nasdaq will not approve any company to force privatization at a cost price of 1:1. However, this time, Li Mu publicly announced that he would not give any premium, which seems to be a blatant violation of Nasdaq's rules. But I believe Nasdaq will not object, because Li Mu has already had enough proactive attitude, mass base and moral foundation. If Nasdaq does not approve, Apple's stock price will fall below its net assets. At the same time, the masses will have huge disgust for Nasdaq, and Nasdaq will also become an accomplice of those evil institutions in the eyes of the masses."

Speaking of this, Tim Cook said in a sigh: "It won't take long to make Nasdaq and even the entire United States become Li Mu's home court. People support him more than any American entrepreneur. This is really terrible!"

A shareholder and executive interjected: "Tim, as long as we are successfully acquired by Makino Technology, this matter is not terrible at all. In the future, you will become an executive of Makino Technology. If you work harder, you can even become a vice president of Makino Technology. However, the premise is that you must quickly figure out what Li Mu's attitude towards us now. If the stock price falls below $3.5, will he change the offer he gives us?"

This sentence resonates with many people.

Li Mu has demonstrated his toughness and strength through a statement. Li Mu has now cut the income of shareholders of the circulating shares. Will he cut the income of Apple shareholders? Apple shareholders have accepted the acquisition price of US$4.15 times 90%. Will Li Mu suddenly announce tomorrow that he will acquire the shares in their hands at 90% of US$3.5? If that is the case, everyone will be in a miserable way to grandma's house.

Tim Cook said: "Both Li Mu and Lin Qingya have refused to communicate with me for the time being. I guess they should be very dissatisfied with the leak. After all, the most likely source of the leak in this matter is within us."

The shareholders said one after another: "You have to communicate and confirm with Li Mu as soon as possible! Otherwise, everyone's nerves will be tense and they will not dare to relax for a moment."

Tim Cook nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll call Li Mu again."

...

Makino Technology is celebrating its victory in advance. Whether from the perspective of public opinion, law, strength, and market, Makino Technology has won firmly this time.

Lin Qingya's assistant received a call from Tim Cook and hurried to the conference room and said to Lin Qingya: "Mr. Lin, Apple's Tim Cook has called again and said he wants to call you."

Lin Qingya glanced at Li Mu beside her and said to her: "Tell him, just say I don't have time, and let him contact me tomorrow."

The assistant nodded, turned around and left, and a few minutes later, Tim Cook called Li Ziwei.

Li Ziwei came to Li Mu and whispered: "Mr. Li, Tim Cook calls and asks to call you."

"I'll hit you so soon..." Li Mu smiled slightly and said to Lin Qingya: "Apple must be in a hurry now."

Lin Qingya said: "They must be worried now, worried that we will take the opportunity to cut off their interests."

"That's right." Li Mu nodded and smiled, saying, "If they don't give them a reply today, they may not be able to sleep at night."

Lin Qingya asked: "Mr. Li, what about you?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Since he is going to acquire them, he will be his own son in the future. He should be more tolerant of his own son."

Li Mu said, raised his head and said to Li Ziwei: "Ziwei, give Tim Cook a call and ask him to bring all Apple shareholders to Muye Technology to sign the contract tonight, telling them that my offer has changed, but the offer has not changed, and it is still paid at 90% of 4.15. However, the actual payment needs to be added: I will pay them after Apple has successfully privatized, and before payment, I have the right to terminate the cooperation at any time."

After saying that, Li Mu explained: "I'm going to tell them more details. My request is: Let them come here today and sign the transfer of equity to me. I will postpone the payment first, use the shares they transferred to me to initiate a vote. After passing the privatization resolution, I will apply for privatization to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq applies for privatization, Muye Technology will also pay the funds required for privatization and the equity transfer income that Apple shareholders deserve, and successfully complete the privatization; if Nasdaq does not apply for privatization, I can give up the acquisition of Apple at any time, with a period of two months. If I don't handle Nasdaq two months after signing, or have no payment, all shares will be automatically returned to Apple shareholders!"
