Those two guys are worried about making money, and Feng Yiping is also heartbroken about spending money. These days, there are countless employment agreements signed by him, and the signing of each agreement means that he has sent out a large check.

The first legal document he signed was to set up a new company in Delaware.

This is the first preparation that American companies must make before conducting mergers and acquisitions. They first register a company in the state where they register with the target company to carry out the acquisition business. In this way, many legal affairs will be effectively resolved.

There are three modes for acquiring listed American companies: merger, regular triangle merger, and inverse triangle merger. Feng Yiping plans to adopt inverse triangle merger this time. To put it simply, after the acquisition is successful, the company he established is merged into the target company. The name and listing code of the target company remain unchanged.

Of course, there are many issues involved, such as brand awareness, tax consequences, etc.

Although the company he plans to acquire this time is located in Seattle, Washington, but its registered place is also in Delaware.

In fact, it is not only the company that Feng Yiping wants to acquire registered in Delaware. Most of the large companies in the United States are registered in Delaware. Delaware is known as the capital of the world's companies. The most attractive thing to register here is naturally tax cuts or even tax exemptions. Its efficient judicial structure is different from the grand jury system in courts in other states in the United States. Delaware implements an official system and is more efficient.

Afterwards, he hired a famous investment bank on Wall Street. Merrill Lynch, which had already cooperated well many times, to take the lead as his financial advisor; hired Baker Meckens, who is the best in corporate mergers and acquisitions in Chicago, the United States, and even the world, to take the lead as his legal advisor; hired PwC as his financial and tax advisor...

Because this acquisition was the beginning of a series of actions that could not be missed and to achieve success, he hired some companies with a very famous reputation, and the money he spent on it was also very loud.

"Boss, this is the employment agreement of the public relations company," the secretary brought in another agreement. Feng Yiping looked at the amount of the agreement, and tsk, it was another seven-digit number!

Fortunately, the company I plan to acquire does not involve monopoly, so I don’t have to hire a lobbying company this time, which saves some expenses for myself.

The phone rang, "Hello Merbuck,"

"Feng, how is it going?" asked there.

This is a very straightforward question.

Of course, in the previous private contact, the other party's board of directors was persuaded by Feng Yiping, accepted his proposal, and signed relevant agreements. At this time, the two parties' coordinated action on some issues will help speed up this process.

"It's in progress in an orderly manner, where are you?"

The acquisition company is about the same job as the acquired company.

However, unlike the companies that initiated the acquisition, among the legal counsel hired by the acquired company, there must be a law firm that is known for corporate litigation.

In the United States, the merger and acquisition case is carried out almost at the same time as various lawsuits, mainly the shareholders of the acquired company, who believe that the company's board of directors violated the fiduciary responsibility and the terms of the acquisition agreed are not in the interests of minority shareholders.

These lawsuits are usually nuisance lawsuits, generally do not affect the overall situation, but only affect expenditures. In order to settle, the company generally has to pay lawyer fees including the plaintiff, with an average of between 1 million and 3 million...

In short, once the acquisition is initiated, there will be money everywhere.

"It's ready," Murdoch sounded excited and looking forward to it, "looking forward to our meeting publicly as soon as possible,"

“Same for me,”

The next time they meet publicly, it can only be when the two companies announce the acquisition agreement.

By then, it would mean the biggest resistance to this acquisition. The result of Murdoch's shareholder meeting was that the majority agreed to this acquisition.

The rest is the approval of relevant regulatory departments of the US government. For companies founded by Merbuck, which are not large in scale, does not involve key areas, and there is no monopoly. Such approval is just a procedure and time, and there will be no twists and turns.

What's more, those investment banks and law firms that have been hired at high prices before will take the initiative to play a role in this.

…………

The relevant industries in the United States have a lot of experience in this area. Three days later, in a small building that was temporarily vacated, all the people hired by Feng Yiping with high salaries gathered on time.

Whether it is the managing director of an investment bank (md) or the named partner of a law firm (namepartner), they are immediately devoted to their work.

On the contrary, Feng Yiping, who was so busy before, was idle at this time, just listened to their reports every day, or gathered their heads for a meeting with Buchanan and others.

The working hours are longer than those days in Seattle, but the intensity is not as high as those days. Those days are the decisive days. The effect of Feng Yiping's meeting with the board of directors there determines the nature and difficulty of the acquisition.

The most critical problems are solved smoothly according to your own wishes. The next work is mainly transactional and the challenge is not difficult. We should advance all work step by step to the end, and finally, we can combine it into one plan.

However, for Feng Yiping, a major in finance, this is a rare practical opportunity. Because there are not many similar actions planned, he took this opportunity to take turns to wander around investment banks, law firms, accounting companies, public relations companies, etc., and wanted to learn more about the operating models of these companies, not seeking excellence, but seeking to gain a lot.

After a few days, he really learned a lot, or the theories in the books in the past, but now he finally has the opportunity to combine them with reality. He enjoys this process.

…………

"There will be a meeting in the evening. I can't come back for dinner. No problem, I will definitely come back as soon as possible," Feng Yiping held the phone and waved to the person who greeted him outside the window.

"Hi Yiping, don't go to have a meal?" This should be a guy who calls his own name in the company, not weird at all, and even has very standard Mandarin.

This guy can actually be said to be an uncle, but he might be more accurate to call a mature man. He comes from the Northeast and graduated from Harvard Law School. In the past two years, he was hired by an internationally renowned firm like Baker Meckens, which shows his ability.

"Where are you, don't go to the restaurant?"

"In an hour and a half, we can go to the city to find Chinese food,"

I don’t know if it was instructed by the law firm or his own. In the past few days, this Nelson Chen has always looked for opportunities to contact Feng Yiping in private.

Both possibilities are available. Their firm needs to establish good contact with people like Feng Yiping. As for himself, if he can have a good personal relationship with Feng Yiping, then this will also be his capital.

"Yes, I know a few authentic restaurants,"

"Ha, where are you all?" Along with a gust of fragrant wind, an Asian beauty wearing a Chanel classic suit walked in with a smile.

Nelson Chen smiled helplessly, "Hi, Emilia,"

Here comes another law firm among legal counsel, Emilia Lin, a lower-grade lawyer at Memes Firm in Chicago.

She is from Hong Kong and moved to the United States with her mother after elementary school. Now she can be said to have completely Westernized. If Chen still retains many domestic customs, she really has very few.

Like Chen, she has always been close to Feng Yiping these two days, and she can't figure out whether it is a private or a company.

Emilia has a mixed Australian blood, darker skin, but delicate facial features, which is very consistent with the aesthetics of oriental people. There is a faint beauty mole on the corner of her mouth on her right, which makes her look more pretty.

It is particularly worth mentioning that mixed-race boys have advantages in some aspects. Her figure is really good. To be precise, she is a bit popular and not inferior to Sister Zhiling, who has already emerged at this time.

Moreover, due to habits and culture, she dresses and dresses absolutely in line with American trends, confident and bold, and shows off her good figure. To be fair, she should have a better appetite after having a meal with her.

"Hi Feng," Emilia shook her long wavy hair, "Where to eat tonight?"

This young mature woman is very direct.

"I just discussed with Chen and planned to take him to a Chinese restaurant in the city. Are you interested?"

"Okay, your recommendation is definitely not wrong,"

"I really can't guarantee this. To be honest, in order to have regular Chinese food here, I have the idea of ​​opening a restaurant myself,"

"This is a good idea," Chen said with a smile. "As far as I know, there are more and more international students working in Silicon Valley, and many of them have already reached management positions, and their income is not low, so there is this need,"

"You think it's good, right? After the time of work, I really want to plan and open a very distinctive and very authentic Chinese restaurant,"

Emilia, sitting in Yajun's passenger seat, let her long hair flutter in the wind, "The climate in California is pleasant than Chicago. Yiping, do you think there are more job opportunities here?"

"I really don't know your industry. By the way, among the people who came to the law firm this time, besides you two, there is one Asian. Does it account for a large proportion of Asians in the US? " Feng Yiping calmly changed the topic.

"That one is Smida from South Korea," Chen said with a smile. "It's not that we have a large proportion in law firms, but that we have a large proportion in corporate lawyers. In fact, it's because of the accent issue. The defense lawyer generally does not hire a lawyer with oral language to defend."

As the judicial industry that accounts for more than a quarter of the US GDP, American law firms divide their businesses very carefully. The biggest classification is litigation lawyers and corporate lawyers, namely litigation lawyers and corporate lawyers.

The former is a lawsuit, while the latter is a specialty for transactions, such as securities, financing, mergers and acquisitions, etc., mainly writing transaction documents.

"I see!"

"I didn't think I was studying business for this reason, but later I studied law for some reasons, but I was still very interested in business. I also took a lot of business courses in law school, so I chose to be a company lawyer,"

"Feng, do you think that a comprehensive talent like me has many job opportunities in San Francisco?" She continued to ask the question just now.

“I really don’t understand this,”

"Do you have legal counsel?"

“Our company has hired the best law firms in San Francisco as consultants,”

"So, do you need an advisor or an assistant? Your current secretary can only help you with work such as schedule and schedule. You can't provide timely advice on your decision-making, but I'm different,"

She simply turned around and recommended herself seriously to Feng Yiping, "Look, I understand Chinese culture, American business laws, and know business operations. I am definitely the best choice for your assistant,"

"It's true. If you really have such an idea, I can recommend it to some friends."

Emilia is actually right. It is really easy to have someone like her as an assistant, but if possible, Feng Yiping would still choose Chen in the back seat.

He knew his weaknesses. If such a straightforward, bold, charming and charming beauty always followed him, it would be a torment and a test for him. Even if Huang Jingping had no objection, he would object.

"As for me, I actually have an assistant team in the country, but I didn't bring it here this time."

"Yiping, what do you think if I return to China to develop now, what is the prospect?" Chen in the back seat helped in time.

"That's good. In the future, there will definitely be more and more cross-border mergers and acquisitions in China. Professional talents like you have a lot of room for play. However, it is best to be able to work in a large institute like Baker Meckens for a few more years and accumulate qualifications and experience. After returning to China, it will definitely be more popular."

Emilia was a little dissatisfied with Chen interrupting the conversation between her and Feng Yiping, "You have a lot of time in the United States and you also need an assistant team. I am fully qualified for this position. For example, this time, if you have an assistant like me, you will definitely share a large part of the pressure for you. You will definitely be easier and have more time to pay attention to other jobs."

This sister is really!

"We are currently looking for a vice president who manages these aspects, and I won't need to ask about it in detail in the future. By the way, you two are in Chicago. Have you seen them before?"

"Chen, is your other half looking for a Westerner or a beautiful oriental beauty like Emilia?" Feng Yiping turned from defense to offense.

Not to mention, the more he looks at these two people in front of him, the more suitable he looks, a high-quality mature man, a sexy and mature woman, a good match!

"Ah?" Chen was a little surprised, and a little panicked. Emilia looked at Feng Yiping coldly and stopped talking. (To be continued.)
