The rise of nanometers

Melbourne.

Rio Tinto headquarters.

In Australia in the southern hemisphere, it is also 3:30 pm.

In the office of the president of Rio Tinto, Hudson Matheson, who is over fifty years old, pressed the speakerphone and talked to his nephew Matheson.

In the office, there are other shareholders and management of Rio Tinto.

On the phone: "... Mr. President, the other party's condition is 67 Chinese yuan to acquire 67% of the shares. The negotiation time is only two and a half hours. This is the only opportunity for negotiation."

"Farke!"

"Why don't they go rob?"

"I disagree."

"this……"

A group of shareholders cursed loudly, but the attitude of the management was relatively ambiguous, which had something to do with the positions of the two.

As the largest shareholder of the Matheson family, Hudson Matheson is in a tangle.

Victor, the Vice President of Global Markets, looked at the angry shareholders. He waited for a few minutes before speaking:

"Dear shareholders, we must recognize the reality. If the company enters bankruptcy liquidation, everyone will pay the price."

"Victor, do you want to persuade us to sell 67% of our shares for 67 Chinese dollars?"

"I would rather go bankrupt than let the Chinese get Rio Tinto, you son of a bitch."

Several agitated shareholders looked like crazy baboons, their expressions a bit hysterical and ferocious.

Of course, there are also many shareholders who have calmed down and begun to think that if Rio Tinto is sold to Blue Star Mining, they still have a chance to keep their wealth.

If the company refuses to acquire the company, the consequences will be the same as BHP Billiton, which will result in bankruptcy and liquidation, and no one will be able to get a dime.

Many people have staked their entire fortune on Rio Tinto, and this bankruptcy and liquidation will really be the end of the world.

After more than half an hour, there was still no final decision in the office amid fierce arguments.

Ma Dichen, who was in Dalian, kept calling, hoping to give an answer as soon as possible. He knew that the mining alliance was serious. If the time passed, there would really be no need to negotiate.

It was indeed very difficult to make such a major decision in a short period of time. They had almost no chance to send a message for help to other Western capital giants.

In fact, even if they send out a cry for help, by the time those capital giants react, the day lily will probably be cold.

The Mining Alliance will not give them a chance to delay. If they breach the contract after signing the contract, they will have to compensate the Mining Alliance 2 billion yuan in liquidated damages.

Rio Tinto, whose capital chain is about to break, would be better off filing for bankruptcy and liquidation if it compensates another 2 billion yuan.

4:42 pm.

At the negotiation table, FMG's commercial representatives were the first to sign the acquisition offer contract and the related cooperation memorandum.

This situation has put Rio Tinto and Vale into a more passive situation.

The news spread to Australia, Samba, Rio Tinto and Vale headquarters, and the situation was even more chaotic.

Some people want to cut off the tail to survive, some want to fight to the end, and some want to benefit from it. These people with their own agendas are so noisy that their faces are red.

And time is approaching minute by minute.

At 5:13, Vale surrendered. On behalf of Vale, Juan signed a humiliating acquisition offer contract and a series of cooperation memorandums.

Rio Tinto headquarters.

As the founding family of Rio Tinto Group and the largest shareholder, Hudson-Matheson made a difficult decision.

"I agreed."

The office was quiet at first, and then there was an uproar.

"NO!"

"Matthew, you can't do this."

"Fake, I'm going to convene a shareholders' meeting to expel you, the traitor."

boom! Hudson-Matheson slapped the table directly and glared at everyone: "Do you think I am willing to do this? Now it's a show of hands."

After speaking, he was the first to raise his hands, and then several management members who held shares also raised their hands.

After a while, more and more shareholders raised their hands. Since Rio Tinto is an AB-share listed company, they only have the right to vote and make decisions.

Vice President Victor calculated the number of people who agreed and the shareholding ratio, and quickly calculated the proportion of consent: "Gentlemen, the result is very obvious. The shareholders who agreed to be acquired accounted for 72.36%, exceeding 67%. I Declare the plan passed.”

The faces of those shareholders who disagreed turned as red as a piece of hot fresh pork liver.

One of the opposing shareholders shouted angrily: "I'm going to appeal to you. You are betraying Australia's interests."

"Wake up! You don't think those gentlemen really care about this kind of thing. They only care about banknotes and votes." Victor mocked.

Outside the conference hall of Dalian Exchange.

The anxious Ma Tichen raised his hand from time to time and looked at the approaching pointer, sweating profusely.

Suddenly his cell phone rang. He was excited and immediately pressed the answer button with trembling hands: "Hey! What's the result?"

Old Ma Tichen's voice came from the other side of the phone: "The shareholders' meeting has agreed, please sign it as soon as possible!"

"OK." Ma Dichen hung up the phone directly and rushed into the conference hall. At this time, there was less than ten minutes left before the final deadline.

Looking at Ma Dichen who looked like he was fished out of the water, Song Shijia smiled and said: "Mr. Ma Dichen, don't be too anxious, there are still seven minutes."

"On behalf of Rio Tinto Group, I agree to this acquisition." After finishing speaking, Ma Dichen felt as if he was exhausted.

After signing the acquisition offer contract and cooperation memorandum.

This lightning acquisition war ended with a resounding victory for the China Mining Alliance.

However, the impact behind it did not stop because of the completion of the acquisition. Instead, it became more and more intense.

Several shareholders of Rio Tinto, in particular, took to Twitter, Die or Die and YouTube that night to accuse Matheson and others of giving Rio Tinto to the Mining Alliance.

Suddenly, this incident was like a bomb that exploded in the minds of all Australians, and public opinion quickly fermented and spread.

Similarly, Vale's acquisition by Lightning also caused an uproar in Samba.

Then the whole world knew about this. In one day, the Chinese Mining Alliance annexed Rio Tinto, Vale, and FMG, plus BHP Billiton, which had been bankrupt. Overnight, the global ore industry fell into Control of the Mining Alliance.

On the Australian Internet, these arrogant descendants of exiles feel that their glass hearts are broken, and their mainstay industry has been harvested by a force that has always been looked down upon. This is simply a scam.

Angry Australian netizens launched a voting petition on the Internet, hoping to stop this acquisition and get back the shares of Rio Tinto and Fortescue.

There are many people who support the repurchase of shares. The last time Chinalco failed to acquire Rio Tinto, it was because of public opposition that the matter was abandoned.

Only this time, things didn't go in the direction they expected.

Silence, besides silence, is still silence.

No one came out to respond, because if they did not agree to acquire Rio Tinto and FMG, their mining pillars would completely collapse. Except for the mining alliance, no one could save Rio Tinto and them.

The only response is to reorganize BHP Billiton and turn the company into an Australian state-owned enterprise as a protected industry.

Obviously, these guys are preparing to be ostriches and reorganize BHP Billiton. In the end, they can only get a half-dead BHP Billiton.

This is just a psychological comfort to comfort their glassy hearts.

After all, the mining alliance controls the core technology, and at this stage there are very few companies that can resist the mining alliance.

Thank you for your support. At the last moment, I completed the fifth update!
