Chapter 2594 The Way of Handling
If Family Mart is part of one of the six consortiums, it's likely to get some help.
But the problem is that ITOCHU Corporation, the largest shareholder before Family Mart, has sold its shares, and the remaining foreign major shareholders have also sold their shares. The remaining 30% of the shares are held by some ordinary clubs and individuals. , has nothing to do with the six consortiums at all.
From a practical point of view, Family Mart is only the fourth chain of retail terminals in Japan. There are 7-11 and other companies in front of them.
Therefore, if you pay attention, you will know that the TV newspapers that helped Family Mart to promote the momentum before are basically not big names, and the so-called financial people who speak for them are just people who make a living. None of the bigwigs are willing to speak out.
But there is also one thing worth noting.
That is Xiao Qi's partners in Japan, but this time they did not stand up to speak for Fairy Company, but kept silent.
The reason is naturally because Family Mart is a Japanese club, and it is impossible for them to force their own club for a foreign company.
This point made Xiao Qi sigh, the Japanese are still very united, business and private affairs are separated, this is also worth learning from companies in Huaguo.
In any case, Family Mart couldn't hold on after Europe and the United States slammed the behavior of Japanese clubs. The management quickly conceded defeat and publicly apologized on TV, explaining that they would abide by business rules, but also hoped that Mr. Xiao Qi would not Do things that harm the interests of Family Mart employees.
And on the second day, Family Mart's representative director, Isamu Nitta, arrived in Rongcheng to meet and talk with Xiao Qi.
There is nothing he can do if he doesn't come to surrender, although Family Mart is protesting these days. However, Nomura Securities did not slow down. On the one hand, it negotiated with retail shareholders. On the other hand, it directly pressured the Tokyo Stock Exchange to allow them to agree to this request for privatization and delisting.
These things are the old business of Nomura Securities, so they are naturally familiar with it. With the mere strength of Family Mart, there is no way to stop it.
Coupled with the pressure from the outside world, the senior executives of Family Mart knew that Xiao Qi's acquisition of Family Mart was a foregone conclusion, so naturally they could only clean up and not be reconciled. Come talk to Xiao Qi and see how we can protect their best interests.
Isamu Nitta is 53 years old this year. He joined Family Mart right after graduating from university. After more than 20 years of hard work, he has worked his way up from the bottom step by step to become the president of Family Mart.
In the past few years since he took office, he has made great progress in the development of new stores in Baodao, South Korea, and mainland China. In the next few years, he has made great progress. It will continue to improve, and even in mainland China, Family Mart is better than 7-11. This is the ability of Isamu Nitta.
Xiao Qi actually has the attitude of "use only if you have the talent" as to whether or not to use the Japanese under his command. Japan has many talents and good systems. It is not a shame to use these to make Huaguo's companies stronger.
For example, there are many Japanese engineers in Fairy Lab, and Domoto Hato, the manager of Fairy's directly-operated store, is also Japanese. In the future, Fairy Farm will have a large number of Japanese experts.
Xiao Qi thinks that you can use the ingenuity and wisdom of the Japanese on your own side to create various beneficial things for the people of China. This is your ability.
Besides, the money to hire these Japanese experts. They all made money from the subprime mortgage crisis, the appreciation of the yen, etc., which is equivalent to using Japanese money to hire them.
When Nitta Yong met Xiao Qi. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still filled with emotion when he saw such a young boy, who was younger than his son.
When I was Xiao Qi's age, I was still studying in school, but Xiao Qi had already become the richest man in the world, and bought Family Mart in a flash, without any effort.
"Mr. Xiao!" Isamu Nitta maintained the respect that the Japanese are used to, and nodded and bowed when he came up, "It's an honor to meet you!"
"Please take a seat, President Nitta." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "I am also very satisfied with your work at Family Mart, and we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future!"
"Cooperation?" Nitta Yong was surprised, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise with his city: "Family Mart is already yours, Mr. Xiao. We should accept your jurisdiction instead of cooperation?"
"Jurisdiction is my responsibility to Family Mart, but cooperation is also necessary." Xiao Qi said, "I will not buy all the companies I acquire on the spur of the moment, and I will not cherish them after I buy them. .So I don’t treat the capable executives of these companies with subordinates. We cooperate and work together to make the company bigger and better.”
"What do you mean?" Xin Tianyong would not be so easily moved.
"Don't you have 3% of the shares now? I don't plan to buy this part, and I will give you another 2%." Xiao Qi said, "You are also shareholders and my partners. After completing the Family Mart, it will be beneficial to everyone. It's good, don't you think?"
Nitta Yong was overjoyed when he heard the words.
They were originally afraid that after Xiao Qi acquired Family Mart, they would be fired directly. They have worked in Family Mart all their lives. After this job, although Xiao Qi will not treat them badly in terms of stock trading, and the severance pay will not be less Yes, but the gap in my heart is unbearable enough.
Now Xiao Qi has said that not only do they not want their shares, but also allocate another 2% of the shares, which is 5% of the shares. According to Xiao Qi’s approach to American companies, the management is also the only shareholder group other than him. In the future, we will also rely heavily on them, and it is absolutely impossible to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
"Qi Shao, can you rest assured that we will continue to be in power?" Nitta Yong changed his words after a thought.
"Of course I don't worry." Xiao Qi said, "However, I want to make one point clear. I am planning to separate the treasure island and Southeast Asia. I will keep the Family Mart brand and operation method, but the profit and ownership will be separated."
"Are there only these places?" Nitta Yong asked.
"Yes, except for these places, including mainland China affairs, can be decided by your headquarters." Xiao Qi said, "But I hope you can buy back all the shares of the branch companies that cooperate with others. This is your first A mission."
"I understand, there is no problem." Nitta Yong said seriously.
If a company is rich, how can foreigners be allowed to participate casually?
Family Mart has no money, so if it wants to develop and grow, it must accept external capital, and then everyone's shares will be diluted, and there is no way to control it.
It's not like 7-11. It was originally a convenience store made by Ito-Yokado. After doing well in Japan, it went back and bought the head office in the United States and became a club under Ito-Yokado. With a strong background to support them, of course they don't have to think so much about their development. Even if they develop overseas, they won't let others participate in it.
Because there is no money, Family Mart's overseas expansion is also a cooperative model.
In Baodao, none of their shares accounted for 50%, and even less in Huaguo, it was about 30%.
This is also the biggest reason why Family Mart has so many stores, but only has a market value of 4 billion US dollars.
"There is the third point." Xiao Qi said, "I hope you can make a detailed plan and buy as many shops as possible with good location and high operating income."
"Buy it?" Nitta Yong thought he heard it wrong.
"Yes, as long as you think it is valuable, you can buy it, the quantity is not limited." Xiao Qi said.
"real?"
"Do you think the richest man in the world would tell you such a lie?" Xiao Qi laughed dumbfounded.
"Okay! Thank you Qishao! In this way, our profit will increase a lot!" Nitta Yong said with great encouragement, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep the cost of buying the store to a minimum. In addition, our management The shares will also decrease with the amount of money you invest!"
He is smart.
Now Xiao Qi can spend about 5 billion US dollars to privatize Family Mart, and their 5% is 250 million US dollars.
But when Xiao Qi invests another 5 billion or 10 billion US dollars in the future, they can't just keep 5% of the shares, can they? Dilution of shares is inevitable.
Xiao Qi nodded, "Don't worry, as long as the profit is good, shareholder dividends and management incentives, everything will follow your Japanese rules!"
Nitta Yong laughed from ear to ear.
The Japanese are very willing to give up their high-level employees. The higher the level, the more salary bonuses they get.
Xiao Qi said so, their annual income of several million dollars is indispensable.
No matter how Family Mart is their lifetime career, this wealth and glory is still what everyone pursues.
"Please rest assured!" Isamu Nitta stood up again, and said solemnly: "Family Mart will not let you down! With your support, we will definitely be able to attack 7-11!"
7-11 is not only the largest retail terminal convenience store in Japan, but also the largest retail terminal convenience store in the world.
Family Mart has long wanted to surpass them, but it has not been strong enough.
Now that there is finally a big boss with strong assets behind them, can they not be ambitious and want to start a career?
