Chapter 1258 The Seemingly Safe Situation

The latest website: "His behavior is too tough..."

Sumitomo family, Sumitomo Kosuke expressed sincere emotion.

To be honest, he was surprised by Jiuding Securities Company and Xia Yu who was behind the scenes.

Tiangong Automobile Group was jointly blocked by the steel industry of the island country. They analyzed what options Xia Yu would make, but they did not expect that Xia Yu would dare to directly initiate an acquisition with the strongest Nippon Steel.

The confidence and financial resources behind this behavior convinced him.

And Xia Yu's decisiveness and courage also made him admire.

This has just beaten Mitsui Securities strongly, won such a large company as Suntory, and caused Mitsui Securities and Mitsui & Co. to lose hundreds of billions of yen, so they continued to clash with the Mitsui Consortium non-stop.

Sumitomo Kosuke asked himself, he couldn't do such a thing.

This is to provoke the Mitsui Consortium again and again, and to greet the Mitsui Consortium fiercely.

"His actions are indeed beyond our expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable."

"After all, no matter how successful he is, he is still a young man in his twenties, and he acts aggressively. It is reasonable to choose this way of breaking the game."

Sumitomo Shinichi put down the teacup and muttered to himself.

"But as his opponent, you have to be careful, he is just aggressive, but he has always been successful. This is the most terrifying thing!"

Sumitomo Kosuke said quietly: "Father, we are also his competitors. In the alcohol market, Asahi Beer, which belongs to our consortium, is the largest market occupant. After Suntory is controlled by him, I don't know how he will manage it."

Sumitomo Shinichi smiled lightly and said, "Competition is unavoidable. Asahi Beer's market share is more than double that of Suntory, and Kirin's market share is also more than double that of Suntory. Competitiveness is enough, Suntory is under the greatest pressure, and we don’t need to be nervous.”

"The pattern of the alcohol market is not so easy to change!"

"Without the experienced Torii family, Suntory can maintain normal levels even if his acquisition is successful.

"

"What's more, Xia Yu's strength is strong, but he targets the Mitsui Consortium again and again. The Mitsui Consortium is not so easy to bully, and his energy will definitely be involved in most of it."

"Next, let's take a good look at their battle and take this opportunity to intuitively understand the strength of the two sides."

Sumitomo Kosuke nodded, showing a relaxed smile: "Several other companies should also be watching."

"Definitely yes, hehe..."

Sumitomo smiled.

At this moment, Sumitomo Kumiko happened to come downstairs and heard the laughter of her father and grandpa. She asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, Dad, are you talking about something fun?"

"Kumiko, come here, you should be interested."

Sumitomo Shinichi smiled kindly and greeted her granddaughter over.

Sumitomo Kumiko came over obediently, and sat beside him at the gesture of grandpa.

"Kumiko, your father and I just talked about your friend Xia Yu, and he did another big thing..."

Sumitomo Kumiko's eyelashes trembled, and unconsciously, her thoughts were immersed in what her grandfather told, and her heart also fluctuated with the ups and downs of the plot.

...

"Ishida-kun, non-consortium shareholders, what is their attitude?"

At the headquarters of Nippon Steel Corporation, President Ichiro Fujiwara called Yoshio Ishida, Secretary General of the Board of Directors and Director of the Securities Department, to ask about the situation of shareholders.

As the overlord of industrial raw materials within the Mitsui Consortium, Nippon Steel has cross-shareholdings with Toyota Motor, Toshiba, Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries and other companies within the consortium. These shareholders do not need to worry at all and can fully implement the "Futigi Club". will.

What really worries Ichiro Fujiwara is the shareholders who are not members of the Mitsui Consortium.

Although Nippon Steel is the core of the Mitsui Consortium, but because of its complex history, Nippon Steel is not only a Mitsui Consortium.

The reason why I joined the Mitsui Consortium camp alone is because the Mitsui Consortium has the greatest energy.

The predecessor of Nippon Steel was the government-run Yawata Steel Works built in 1897. In February 1934, the government-run Yawata Steel Works and the private Rinsai Steel, Kamaishi Mine, Fuji Steel, Toyo Steel, and Mitsubishi The six companies of Steel Works and Kyushu Steel Works merged.

In 1950, under the intervention of the United States, it was split again into two steel companies, Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel, Nippon Steel Shipping Company and Harima Refractory Brick Company.

Until March 1970, the two companies of Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel merged again, giving birth to the Niijima Steel Company, referred to as Nippon Steel, which is the current company.

For now, according to Nippon Steel's shareholder list, the shareholders of the Mitsui Consortium hold a total of 34.9%, far exceeding the second-place Mitsubishi Consortium's 9.5%.

Next is the Fuji Foundation with 7.4%.

The Sumitomo Consortium, represented by Sumitomo Metal Industry Co., Ltd. as a major shareholder, is 5.3%.

4.7% of the First Persuade Bank Consortium Department.

There are also 4.1% of the Sanhe Consortium.

The remaining 34.1% of the equity is very scattered. There are financial investment institutions, retail investors, and the original shareholders of the steel company that merged in the past. Anyway, these shares seem to be a lot, but these shareholders are completely scattered and cannot be gathered together. There is no threat to the Mitsui Consortium's domination of Nippon Steel.

As for the other five consortiums, they will not join forces to deal with the Mitsui Consortium at all, because Nippon Steel's equity structure is actually a microcosm of the six consortiums.

The six major consortiums have already penetrated each other, so in one or several companies alone, multiple consortiums will not join forces at all, unless the five major consortiums jointly strangle a consortium, it is possible to achieve.

But this kind of assumption is impossible, because it is impossible to be concentric at all, and the news is absolutely impossible to hide, and there is no execution.

However, the fact that the five major consortiums cannot be united does not mean that the shareholders of their faction will not choose to transfer their equity.

For example, among the top ten shareholders of Nippon Steel, insurance companies alone account for three, such as Island Country Life Insurance, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance, Tokyo Marine Fire Insurance, etc., which are rich in themselves, and holding shares in Nippon Steel even more. Most of it is to share investment risks and keep funds in value.

Therefore, as long as the money is enough, it is very simple for shareholders who are not members of the Mitsui Consortium to transfer their equity.

It is these shareholders that Fujiwara Ichiro is worried about.

The shareholding is scattered and cannot threaten the control of the Mitsui Consortium.

However, once there is a risk of large-scale concentration of equity, measures must be taken immediately to avoid strong penetration.

Yoshio Ishida reported the situation endlessly: "President, I have already visited the other five managers. The Iwasaki family and the Ayukawa family have a very clear attitude. The following companies transfer equity."

"Sumitomo, Quan Yin, and Sanhe have a rather perfunctory attitude."

"As for some other partners, I have also called one by one and expressed their support for us. As for whether it is true or not, it needs further verification."

"I've already counted."

"As long as the shareholders of the Mitsubishi Consortium and the Fuji Consortium are willing to support us, then our three-party shareholding ratio will exceed 50%, which is very safe. The acquisition of Jiuding Securities Company will definitely fail!"

"Dong dong dong..."

After listening to Yoshio Ishida's remarks, Ichiro Fujiwara's brows were wrinkled and lost in thought. He tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, making a thumping sound, which made Yoshio Ishida's heartbeat unconsciously slow for half a beat.
