There is no way Jilin Jien could fire the management. First, this was a sweetheart deal [selling out the shareholders] done during the Quiet Period [or silent period] and made for the benefit of Jilin Jien AND Liberty management but not for our benefit. It had to look like a loan but they also had to essentially give Jilin Jien absolute control. 51% is control but not to the greedy - they want the WHOLE company - and cheap. In return management keep their jobs and probably get a raise. There is also the political aspect. It wouldn't look too good for a Chinese company to steal a Canadian company and screw the Canadian shareholders so this is a dance we're seeing to allow enough time to lapse, prop up the company with BORROWED money that the "new" company must repay. Imagine - they get 1/2 the company in exchange for a LOAN that must be repaid. But wait - like Ginsu knives - there is MORE. They also get a pledged number of convertible preferre shares which will give them over 76% of the company if exercised AND until those shares are NOT exercised we get to pay them 8% interest. Or is it 10% interest? Jilin Jien owns the company and they are NOT going to fire management as they need each other. Us - we're the sacrificial lambs that had to be slaughtered in order for them to have a sure fired profit. It stinks but that's life. Having seen this same sellout three times before, with minor variations, one soon recognizes the dance.
