Chapter 1519 The Acquisition Was Discovered!

As the saying goes, ten thousand secrets and one sparseness actually have a deep truth.

There are too many people involved in a matter, and it is naturally difficult to keep secrets.

The problem lies in the acquisition of shares of SoftBank Group.

Because Softbank Group is a very open listed conference company, many institutions and clubs in Japan also hold its shares.

For any company's stock, if you want to acquire 50% of the stock in the primary stock market, it is basically a dream.

Even if the company's stock is 100% open, it is impossible.

Because various funds, institutions, companies, banks, etc., will hold a large number of shares in their hands, and usually they will not move these shares, they just receive dividends every quarter.

Especially the Softbank Group, which has a very good growth potential. These companies buy Softbank shares for the sake of long-term growth and appreciation. Even in the current financial crisis, they have not considered selling them.

However, during this period of time, Citibank mobilized its forces and suppressed SoftBank Group too much, which made some institutions feel excited under Citigroup's high bid.

There are even several funds that have sold their shares at 170% of the market price, allowing Citibank to receive a total of 2.8% of the shares.

But this is to scare the snake away. Even though Citibank is acting very secretly, Softbank Group is a local snake after all, with various channels and connections, so it quickly found the door.

As a large commercial bank that specializes in "doing evil" and "serving tigers", Citibank still has this responsibility, and Bao Lijie is the actual person in charge. Firmly denied that their acquisition had other uses, claiming that it was only for commercial purposes, and it was a strategy of the investment department of Citibank.

Americans are not easily bullied anywhere in the world.

This is especially the case with the super-large banks in the United States. It almost represents the interests of the Americans, so let alone Japan, even fighting nations like Russia dare not use violence. Go straight to Citibank.

So Sun Zhenyi had no choice but to directly use a trick that has always been unfavorable throughout the ages.

Use money to open the way, find someone to buy news!

Money can turn ghosts around!

After spending more than 300,000 US dollars, Sun Zhenyi knew and confirmed the reason for the acquisition from the mouths of several insiders.

It was Xiao Qi, the chairman of Fairy Company, who entrusted Citibank to buy the shares of SoftBank Group.

Because Citibank has always had the deepest connection with Xiao Qi along with Xiao Qi's growth, so this behavior is supported by the Asian headquarters. Do it very secretly. It was also because of this that Bao Lijie's attitude was extremely tough.

heard the news. Sun Zhenyi's heart sank.

There's no way he's going up against the behemoth of Citibank.

Even Sun Zhenyi has no qualifications to confront Xiao Qi.

He didn't know why Xiao Qi wanted to acquire the Softbank Group, but the Softbank Group was his life's effort, Sun Zhenyi, even if Xiao Qi was one of the richest people in the world. Sun Zhenyi also tried his best to stop Xiao Qi.

Sun Zhenyi has no friendship with Xiao Qi, he doesn't want to negotiate with Xiao Qi first. However, he knew about the bet between Xiao Qi and Citibank, so he immediately contacted his acquaintances in the United States, wanting to ask if it was possible to get some support from Citigroup headquarters to let Citibank withdraw from this acquisition.

It is a pity that Citibank and Xiao Qi are both rivals and partners. The relationship between the two is too close. Even those who want to cheat Xiao Qi do not agree to interrupt this entrusted acquisition. The people Sun Zhenyi sent to Guangshu were disappointed.

Not to mention Citibank in Asia and Japan, Sun Zhenyi knew that they were basically Xiao Qi's loyal followers, coupled with the entanglement of interests, convincing them would be more troublesome than directly going to Xiao Qi.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, Sun Zhenyi really got on the plane quietly and arrived in Rongcheng from Japan.

Sun Zhenyi's Softbank Group has a lot of investment in Huaguo and has a very wide network of contacts. Therefore, when he got off the plane in Rongcheng, the Mercedes-Benz fleet of Fairy Company was already waiting for him at the VIP channel.

When he saw Xiao Qi in the small conference room on the eighth floor of the "UFO Buildings" in the headquarters of the famous Fairy Company, the boy was immersed in writing and drawing.

Seeing Xiao Qi raised his head, that young man had a delicate and shy face, and a gentle smile, Sun Zhenyi thought he saw an ordinary college student.

But, he also knew that this was just an illusion.

Xiao Qi is really a super genius with a scheming soul hidden in his heart, ten times more powerful than himself.

"Mr. Xiao!"

"President Sun!"

After the two shook hands, they sat at both ends of the u-shaped table.

Sun Zhenyi's entourage did not come in, and Xiao Qi had no subordinates.

Just when Sun Zhenyi was thinking about how to speak, Xiao Qi said it first: "Chairman Sun is here for my purchase of SoftBank Group shares, right?"

"yes!"

Sun Zhenyi said neither humble nor overbearing, "I heard about the cooperation between Mr. Xiao and kddi, but I still can't figure out why you are interested in the operation of Softbank Group. I don't think you have abandoned the huge foundation of Huaguo and went to Japan, a small country. It means working hard, so I wondered if there was a key to it that I hadn't figured out."

Xiao Qi smiled, "I heard that Mr. Sun's ancestors were from the Hua Kingdom?"

Sun Zhenyi was stunned, then nodded immediately: "Yes, our family immigrated to South Korea because of the war, and then entered Japan from South Korea. It is not wrong to say that my ancestral home is Huaguo."

"Then can you speak Chinese?" Xiao Qi asked again.

"Sorry, I can only speak English, Japanese and Korean." Sun Zhenyi said flatly, "But I know Hua Guo very well, just like I know you Mr. Xiao very well."

"You know me better than I know you." Xiao Qi laughed dumbly, "President Sun, let's stop talking nonsense, what are you going to do now?"

Sun Zhenyi understands that negotiating with someone like Xiao Qi is definitely very difficult.

He is not short of money at all, and his power and prestige in the world are far higher than him, which means he has an absolute advantage.

But Sun Zhenyi had to work hard. He couldn't helplessly watch the SoftBank Group, which he founded, finally become someone else's pocket.

For Sun Zhenyi, who has an extremely strong desire to control, this is absolutely not allowed.

No matter what method he uses, he must regain control of SoftBank Group!

PS:

The more I research, the more I find that JD.com's success does not have much technical content. If Amazon can combine a little bit of domestic conditions, then JD.com will have nothing to do. Hehe, from here we can also see the arrogance of the gringos. From ebay, Amazon, and even early Microsoft, IBM, etc., they only regard China as a dumping ground for resignation, and they deserve their failure!
