friendly merger takes over a company i got 75% ownership?

Post by anjali »

after getting a 75% owned sub setup for a test something curious happened:

Friendly merger! Panasonic merges with sony
now i got 2.53% of panasonic (before 0%) thats ok but ...

how the hell can panasonic merge with sony if i hold 75% of sony and the management policies are totally wiped of any permission to do anything but pricing the products in retail. (just a simple price robot thats what he is)
correct me if i am wrong but a merger does need 3/4 or in some countries 2/3 of total company votes, as i hold 3/4 of the company shares i would have to be asked to agree the merger or decline but this didnt happen, the company was just taken away!!!

the 2nd time same happened and this time when trying to open infocenter theres an error message:

Stock, who_filter()error: 5, 4, 37 and crash ofcourse

I made a suggestion about friendly mergers a long time ago. I a actually like friendly mergers but if the human player has 50% or more equity l, when the company is in such a directly situation that a friendly mergers needs to occur the human player should get first, right of refusal . they can either pay market value of the company or offer an amount higher than the AI company and of course do nothing and let the merger happen.

well the reason i buy up a company is because it would be a good asset for one of my corporations. i.e. sony was producing leather goods and had top research on this. and one of my 95% owned corps had jewelry and since the last merger produced leathergoods was lacking the tech to produce exactly those goods that sony was producing. therefore i would never agree to someone else taing that company away without asking especially when i did prepare 3 years roughly for this takeover, then rip it in pieces and use sony's expertise on apparel to research apparel but well less then 2 weeks after i got 75% it just got stolen by panasonic. no matter what price they would pay without asking, its inacceptable and would never happen irl either.
