Chapter 1039 The Aggressive Mode of the RB Chaebol

"Go and check, I want to know everything about this Donnie Fick from birth to now, and whether what he said is true." Sending the person away, Yang Cheng ordered Hansen in a cold voice.

"Boss, do you suspect that Downey is a spy sent by c~i~a?" Hansen asked.

Yang Cheng nodded, "c~i~a is best at planting spies. At such a sensitive time recently, someone who claimed to be a former agent of c~i~a came to sell information. I have a hundred reasons to doubt him. It’s true, you have to know that things like framing c~i~a are done every day.”

Hansen, who came from the military and came out of the battlefield, has never had a good impression of those guys who live in the shadows all day long, but he didn't say anything, but Andrew couldn't help but mocked, "Boss' suspicion is right. , c~i~a, that group of rats always like to do sneaky things, don’t think they can’t deal with f~b~i, but they have learned a lot about fishing and law enforcement.”

After glaring at Andrew, Hansen led him out to carry out the mission, and there will never be a lack of excitement in Yang Cheng's side.

. . . . . .

Early the next morning, Yang Cheng received a report from Susu as soon as he came to the company, saying that Ito had been waiting for a long time.

Yang Cheng didn't understand for a moment, what exactly does this little rb want to do?

It didn't take long for Susu to bring Ito into the office, accompanied by a little rb girl, but his two best friends were gone.

"Mr. Yang, I'm very glad to see you again. I just visited your company. It is worthy of being a world-class company. It is very stylish and the working atmosphere is very good." Hiroji Ito complimented you as soon as he entered the door, and Yang Cheng almost didn't react.

I was stunned for a moment, and then said politely, "I will visit your company if I have the opportunity. We can exchange experience and develop together."

The atmosphere was very harmonious, there was no tension like when they first met, and the two fully showed the side of the businessman who is kind and rich.

Because Ito's secretary was always on the sidelines, Susu didn't go out, and followed Yang Cheng around.

When he came to the salon area and sat down, Koji Ito said straight to the point, "Mr. Yang, this visit is to cooperate with you. Ito Co., Ltd. intends to jointly acquire the Hilton Hotel Group with Yuanshan Capital."

Although no formal documents were submitted, there was no need to go through the procedure if the direct heir of the Ito family spoke.

Yang Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and was not in a hurry to express his attitude. He asked instead, "I can know if this is a project of your Ito's family, or a project of the first persuasion bank consortium. You must know that there is a big difference between the two."

Yang Cheng also knew about the background of the Ito family, so she opened her mouth to point out the identity of the first persuasion silver, just to let the other party know that she is not so easy to fool.

Small rb's international reputation is due to the joint efforts of consortiums. Otherwise, a certain company will not be able to get on the stage at all, and they are used to a point-by-point model. Related consortiums swarmed up to completely occupy this market and drive out all foreign capital to achieve the goal of monopoly. From a certain point of view, this set of very mature tactics has been quite successful in the economic field.

The most typical case is the bureau set up by a small rb to compete for Brazil's rich iron ore resources. rb is such a big place, and all resources are either plundered or bought. In order to develop industry, it is necessary to have overseas bases, and already The proven reserves of about 21 billion tons, plus the speculated reserves of up to 62 billion tons of iron ore in Brazil is their best target.

As we all know, Brazil's Vale is the world's largest iron ore producer and exporter, as well as the largest mining company in the American continent, while Brazil's Consolidated Mining Company is the second-ranked Brazilian mining giant, and the official rb people behind this company.

Back then, the case of RB's capital led by the Mitsui Consortium gradually encroaching on Brazil's second largest mining company was included in many business school textbooks.

As early as the 1970s,

RB began to take a stake in the holding company of Brazil's Consolidated Mining Company - Brazil Resources Corporation. In 1997, taking advantage of the global financial turmoil, the Mitsui consortium increased its shareholding ratio to 40 in one fell swoop, becoming the largest shareholder of Brazil Resources Corporation and also the controlling shareholder. shareholders, and further control of the board of directors.

Brazil Resources Corporation owns nearly 85% of the shares of Brazil Consolidated Mining Company, so the Mitsui Consortium took advantage of the opportunity to become the controlling shareholder of Brazil Consolidated Mining Corporation.

At the beginning of the new century, the Mitsui consortium made persistent efforts and used a large sum of money to complete several equity replacements, directly occupying 5% of the total shares of Vale, thus making the Mitsui consortium the third largest shareholder of Vale and directly participating in the management of Vale. and investment.

In the later period, Vale repeatedly tried to drive foreign shareholders out of the board of directors through capital increase and share expansion, but it miscalculated in the face of the strong financial resources of rb people. Mitsui and the cooperative consortium had enough financial resources to cooperate with Vale to complete the capital increase and maintain their own shareholding ratio. Change.

As a result, the Mitsui consortium indirectly controlled Brazil's iron ore resources by participating in the two largest iron ore companies in Brazil—Vale and Consolidated Mines, and occupied the commanding heights in the upper reaches of the steel industry chain, which is equivalent to rb The entry of steel companies into Brazil has opened the door.

The above process took a full 30 years, but only completed the first link of the layout, and the next step is the most important:

After opening a breakthrough in the raw material market, the Mitsui consortium began to introduce rb's largest steel company, Nippon Steel, into Brazil. When Nippon Steel entered Brazil, it aimed at the largest steel company in Brazil-Uminas, the company of Uminas in Brazil. Shareholders include Nippon Steel, Vale, and several major industrial giants and construction companies, with an annual production capacity of 9.5 million tons, accounting for 28% of Brazil's steel production. Shares reached more than 20, becoming the new controlling shareholder.

After subduing the local steel leader, Nippon Steel began to establish its own Brazilian company, enclosing land and defining its own sphere of influence.

Since Nippon Steel Group started to build a new large-scale steel plant in Brazil, the total investment has exceeded 600 billion yen. The company's output accounts for about 20% of Brazil's steel production. By building a new company, Nippon Steel can prevent the loss of core technologies , to avoid large-scale overseas investment risks, and at the same time deliver a large amount of steel raw materials to the country, and at the same time have spare capacity to sell to other countries that lack raw materials, such as country Z, killing two birds with one stone and earning huge profits.

But the rb people's plan has never been so simple. When Nippon Steel gained control over its largest steel company in Brazil and its own factory, it began to intervene in the entire industry and carried out a large-scale industry reshuffle to further determine itself. right to speak.

First of all, Uminas, a subsidiary of Nippon Steel Holdings, invested nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars to acquire three mines in Brazil, thus occupying the world's highest-quality iron ore production area. The expansion can not only be used for the group's ore transportation, but also gain a dominant position in the logistics industry.

At the same time, Japan's allies frantically poured into the South American continent. The Japan Iron and Steel Alliance, composed of Koji Ito's family business Ito Co., Ltd., JFE Steel, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Kobe Steel, and Nisshin Steel, took control of another powerful Brazilian company. The company, the Brazilian National Mining Company, has firmly grasped the future of Brazil's entire steel industry in the hands of rb people. This hand has almost dug out the foundation of Brazil's future, and it has also given rb the opportunity to intervene in the political arena of the largest country in South America. Emboldened.

In general, the ambitions of rb people have never been so easy to satisfy. Through the model of economic overseas invasion, that is, a general trading company first takes a stake in a local leading company in the name of trade, and obtains relevant business intelligence. In certain industries with market prospects , through direct or indirect acquisitions to gradually achieve a holding or near-holding position, then introduce its upstream or downstream enterprises into local enterprises to form an industrial chain, and finally integrate and reshuffle the local industries to achieve the purpose of controlling the entire industrial chain, and finally Complete the all-round invasion of government, culture and other fields.

Through this method, rb people have greatly increased their voice in the world. They know that they have the lifeblood of a country's industrial development. If they cannot meet our conditions, I will not sell it to you, even if it is hindered by your military strength. If you have to sell it, you will have to draw a tube of blood severely, and you will not be able to pass the test easily.

Among them, the country that suffers the most is country Z. The rb people and Vale have repeatedly raised the price of iron ore. While making the Chinese side swallow the bitter fruit, they are also secretly achieving one goal after another. They earn your money and make you suffer and say no. It can be seen from the means of the little rb.

Therefore, Yang Cheng never minds looking at rb people with malicious eyes. Not to mention other abilities of this nation, destructive power is absolutely rare in this world. The impression left by rb people on the whole world.

It's just that Yang Cheng didn't understand. If the acquisition of the Hilton Group was a precursor to another overseas invasion by the rb people, what was their purpose? Everyone understands the significance of controlling iron ore and steel production, but what does Hilton Group have? To put it bluntly, it is just a leader in the service industry. No matter how high the market value is, it does not have strategic significance. The acquisition of the Hilton Group will not increase the confidence of rb people in the face of American fathers. Any far-reaching significance, at least Yang Cheng himself did not see it.

What's more, Ito Koji asked for cooperation when he came up, which is against the usual style of small rb. It is right to buy shares first, but you should not introduce yourself a strong competitor. It was the wolf that was introduced!

However, Koji Ito's next words not only failed to answer Yang Cheng's doubts, but became more and more confused. . .
