Chapter 2627 Make Good Use of the Rules
Monday, November 9th.
Sharp, Samsung and Fairy Company jointly held a press conference.
Sharp Chairman Takahashi Shunqing, Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee, and Fairy Company Vice President Zhou Bo attended the press conference together.
It's not that Xiao Qi deliberately improved himself and only let the vice president come to participate, but everyone knows that Xiao Qi never likes crowded occasions, and he has never attended a formal occasion so far. Everyone regards this as Xiao Qi's one I don't care about small hobbies.
Takahashi Shunqing had a squeezed smile on his face, but he still had to announce the results of this privatization negotiation.
"Samsung will obtain Sharp's 12,221 technologies and patents on liquid crystal, digital, solar energy, etc., and Fairy Company will also obtain 13,256 technologies and patents in the above aspects. And in the next ten years, in these fields, the three The company will have closer cooperation and will build dozens of laboratories together to share resources and results.
In return, Samsung and Fairy will give up 28% and 39% of Sharp's shares in their hands. Through price conversion and patent deduction, Sharp will also pay Samsung $4 billion and Fairy $5 billion. The funds will be paid through Mizuho Industrial Bank and Tokyo-Mitsubishi Financial Bank within the next six months. "
After speaking these words, Takahashi Shunqing seemed to have no strength all over his body, and sat on the chair, not wanting to move anymore.
The reporters below were also in an uproar.
Calculated based on Sharp's current share price, it is equivalent to buying back the shares held by Samsung and Fairy Company at a higher price, and then giving almost all the valuable patents in his hands to Samsung and Fairy Company for nothing.
In other words, although Samsung and Fairy Company lost about two or three billion U.S. dollars each due to the sharp drop in Sharp's stock price, such losses were exchanged for almost all of Sharp's 50 years of R&D achievements. Victory!
These technologies and patents, which are related to Sharp's lifeline, cost two to three billion U.S. dollars, let alone two to three billion dollars. Sharp is not necessarily willing to sell it to others!
There is also the joint establishment of a laboratory, which is clearly to use Sharp's scientific researchers. Continue to research and develop the patents and technologies obtained in your hands.
Although it is good for Sharp's own technology development that Samsung and Fairy, which are rich and powerful, will pay for it. depressed.
This shows how difficult it is for Sharp to make so many concessions.
Said that Sharp gave Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi a share of all his belongings. That's not an exaggeration.
But there is no way to do so.
If Sharp does not share all its valuable patents and technologies, with Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi's personalities, it will definitely make Sharp go bankrupt, and then slowly take away Sharp's things.
It's a little better now, at least the shares have temporarily returned to Sharp's hands. Although they are all borrowed from the bank, they can make the decisions after all.
What's more, the cooperation with Samsung and Fairy Company not only saves money, but also obtains a lot of new technologies. It is also a good thing to apply it to your own products.
It's just that the reputation is not very good-others will think that Sharp has become a subsidiary of Samsung and Fairy.
In any case, the matter has been signed. So what does Sharp think, what do the Japanese think? It's not that important either.
Both Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi admired the work spirit of the Japanese, and they would not worry about the procrastination and passive sabotage of Sharp's scientific researchers in future cooperation.
As long as you can get benefits, the more depressed the Japanese are, the happier the Chinese and Koreans will be.
After signing the agreement, Zhou Bo took his girlfriend to travel in Osaka, Kyoto and Nara for a few days, while Xiao Qi returned to China.
I have been in Japan for more than ten days, and the wives at home have made a lot of phone calls, so I should go back.
But Sayuri didn't think so. Hearing that Dad was going back to China, he cried like before. Forced Xiao Qi to flirt with her and agreed that he would come back as soon as possible, so he reluctantly agreed.
Yuka is an introverted Japanese woman, but now her heart is tied to Xiao Qi, and she gave birth to a daughter for Xiao Qi. Of course, she is also reluctant to let her husband go back to China. She is used to obedience, but goodbye Xiao Qi couldn't help thinking of "where to buy a few small islands, and let the wives live on nearby islands, so that they can be together".
Xiao Qi is not without islands.
He bought 36 islands in the Maldives, and now they are basically very beautiful small islands after they have been developed.
But the climate in the Maldives is not good, it is too hot and humid, and the living conditions are not convenient.
Therefore, Xiao Qi also plans to buy islands in other places. Apart from being able to take a comfortable vacation, there is also a reason to buy more property for future generations.
...
Sharp's acquisition took almost a year. Although there were twists and turns, it went smoothly.
This also shows the importance of layout. If such a large company can be settled in three to five days, as the novel says, it would be a joke.
Buying a company is not just as simple as buying stocks in the stock market. There are also many factors outside the market. If something goes wrong, no matter how rich you are, it is easy to lose your money.
For example, Xiao Qi in his previous life knew that many electronic technology companies in Huaguo took advantage of the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis, and planned to acquire companies in the United States.
But obviously they had almost talked with the acquired company, and the US government department suddenly came out, directly saying that your acquisition has an impact on the national security of the United States, so they directly bypassed the court and declared your acquisition invalid. Invest all and lose money!
Great, right?
Buying an electronic network company can affect the national security of the United States. Is this still our world police and human conscience?
So Americans are far more hateful than you know.
If Huaguo wants to rise, it is absolutely impossible not to fight the United States a few times!
Leave this matter aside.
It is precisely because he knows all kinds of difficulties in the acquisition that Xiao Qi will make the most detailed preparations for the acquisition in the United States.
Of course, the U.S. government doesn’t pay attention to those fledgling small companies. After all, dozens of such small companies are established in the U.S. every day, and dozens of them go bankrupt every day. Who knows what you bought? Isn't it a company that's going out of business tomorrow?
On the other hand, if you want to buy companies like Disney and Universal NBC, you have to be very careful.
Maybe the U.S. government will tell Xiao Qi that these two companies are related to the national security of the United States, so they cannot be sold...
Therefore, Xiao Qi decided to follow the rules from the very beginning and make good use of them.
First of all, Xiao Qi did not buy it himself, but entrusted the Blackstone Group. The chairman of the Blackstone Group is the former Secretary of Commerce of the United States. He has a very wide network in the U.S. government. To communicate, how to avoid the occurrence of unsuccessful acquisitions.
And the Blackstone Group did exactly the same thing. During these five months, while they were acquiring shares, they were studying how to avoid government interference. When the U.S. stock market fell again and again, they were not in a hurry to buy. , but the first step is to communicate first, and then talk slowly.
The Blackstone Group is very good at this point, that is, they buy and sell shares, and the counterparty to the transaction is willing to do so. It is definitely not like the financial giants such as Gao Shen, Citigroup, and Lehman Brothers, who often engage in small tricks to coerce and lure them.
A good reputation is the biggest reliance for Blackstone Group to win the trust of its partners.
Therefore, Xiao Qi need not worry, the stocks acquired through the Blackstone Group will be forced to sell by others in the end when the US government is in a difficult situation, and he stands in a morally favorable position.
Next, Xiao Qi spent a lot of money on his own to clear up relations with the Ministry of Commerce, the Fair Trade Commission, etc., and three or five senators also received a large amount of donations from Xiao Qi every year. ——It’s not just doing these things now. Xiao Qi started doing this as early as 2007, and will continue to do this in the long run, truly expanding and strengthening the relationship network in the United States.
Xiao Qi also has quite a few friends in the American financial and business circles. Although they cannot directly interfere with some American policies, as the country's elite, their speech and tendencies will largely affect the public's thinking , which is another very favorable place for Xiao Qi.
In addition, Xiao Qi also has Mario Law Firm, which ranks among the top five in the United States, with more than 80 barristers and more than 400 general lawyers. The number of service personnel surrounding them has also increased. There are more than 1,800 people, and the market value of the whole child has been estimated to be as much as 3 billion US dollars.
Such a behemoth, in the United States where lawyers are most popular, is naturally a kind of power. If anyone wants to deal with Xiao Qi, he will think twice.
Think about the lawsuit between GOOGLE and Fairy Company at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. The overwhelming legal team launched an attack that almost didn’t annoy GOOGLE to death. Now when Page hears about the lawsuit, he still feels guilty.
It is also after combining so many preparations and advantages that Xiao Qi dared to acquire the giant Disney.
Although there will be too many troubles after the acquisition, since you want to get such a good company, how can you not make more efforts?
In life, one must constantly overcome difficulties in order to move forward better! (to be continued ~^~)
