Naito Akanobu was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic: "Really? Mr. Qi, are you willing to sell to Itochu Corporation?"
Xiao Qidao, "Why, you don't want to buy it?"
"No, no, no!" Akinobu Naito suddenly became energetic, "Buy! Buy! Not to mention 20 billion US dollars, even a valuation of 30 billion US dollars is a bargain! We are very, very optimistic about Uber!"
"If you are so excited, I will consider whether to increase the price again." Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Qi, you are joking, you are joking." Naito Akinobu took a breath of air-conditioning. In his excitement, he had forgotten that Xiao Qi was a profiteer in business, and he must not be allowed to raise prices.
At 20 billion U.S. dollars, it is definitely a big bargain.
But if the price rises to a valuation of US$30 billion, although it is still very cost-effective, the surprise will be reduced a lot.
Uber's current market capitalization is US$10 billion, but Akinobu Naito certainly doesn't expect Xiao Qi to sell shares at this price. If it is really this price, he will have to hesitate to see if Xiao Qi is not optimistic about Uber's future at all.
The research center of Itochu Corporation and Naito Akinobu’s judgment are similar. Uber’s market value should be between 40 billion and 50 billion. If it develops well in the past two years, it will not be a problem to go public for 60 billion US dollars.
no way.
Uber is so popular in the United States now that it conquers every city it visits. It is completely unstoppable.
If they are allowed to develop like this all over the world, this concept of taxi-hailing for all people will be a good gimmick to hype up. It will be a huge wealth visible to the naked eye.
"The valuation is US$20 billion. As a representative of Itochu, please come to the United States to talk to eo Libot." Xiao Qi did not continue to joke, but settled the matter smoothly.
"good!"
Akira Naito confidently understood, "Thank you, Mr. Qi!"
Xiao Qi called him to explain, and Xiao Qi asked him to negotiate by name, which proved that Xiao Qi was willing to let him get this credit.
If this thing succeeds and Uber develops at a rapid pace in the future, Akinobu Naito will definitely be able to take the position of general manager of the American branch again and regain everything he has lost.
"I wonder if there is anything I can do for Mr. Qi." After agreeing, Naito Akinobu then asked.
He is a smart man and knows that Xiao Qi will not give him benefits for no reason.
Since Xiao Qi gave him a big gift, he should also repay Xiao Qi. In this way, he would have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.
To be honest, Naito Akinobu didn't hate Xiao Qi very much regarding the previous purchase and sale of Ho-Girl's shares.
The decision to buy shares in Hot Girl was a decision made by myself and Itochu Corporation, while the decision to sell shares was also made due to changes in the world economic environment, and had nothing to do with Xiao Qi.
It can only be said that Xiao Qi was very lucky. He sold it at the highest price and bought it back at the lowest price, making a lot of money.
For example, Itochu Corporation is a century-old brand that does business like this. If the business fails once or twice, it is not a problem at all.
Learn from failures so that you succeed more than you fail. Gaining more is a rule of thumb that ITOCHU Corporation believes in.
Because of this, although Itochu Corporation suffered heavy losses in the oil project during this financial crisis, they used various means to actively reduce losses. Now they have calmed down and are ready to actively learn lessons. They will fight on oil again.
Bureau.
Sometimes you have to admire the Japanese people's gambling mentality, they really dare to fight.
Xiao Qi saw how well Naito Akinobu knew how to measure. He nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Naito, I heard that Itochu Corporation and Asahi Beer have made a large investment in the Dingxin Group in Baodao, right?"
"Yes." As a direct descendant of one of the three most powerful Itochu families, Naito Akinobu certainly knows the inside story, "We have investments in Master Nan Beverage Holdings and Dingxin Group, and we hold a lot of shares."
"I want to buy your shares." Xiao Qi said straightforwardly, "I don't care how much you bought it for at the time, including the share of Asahi Beer and the shares of Sanyo Foods. According to the current market price, I will increase it by 30%.
Price, I hope Mr. Naito can help facilitate this matter."
Naito Akinobu gasped when he heard this.
The total value of Dingxin Group is now US$22 billion, of which Master Yan’s holdings are about US$10 billion, and Master Yan’s beverages are worth about US$6 billion. Although Dingxin Group only holds about 33% of the shares of Master Yan and Master Yan’s beverages, it still has
It is not as valuable as the Brand Master Brand, but based on a 30% increase, their shares in Dingxin Group can be sold for about US$2.8 billion.
When Itochu Corporation and Asahi Beer bought these shares, they did not even spend 400 million US dollars. If they sell them now, they can get 7 times the profit in one go, which is a huge profit.
Asahi Beer purchased a 40% stake in Nushifu Beverage separately, and if it were sold at a price of 130%, it would be US$3.12 billion.
The same is true for Sanyo Foods. Their investment from Master Bran Holdings was only HK$1.1 billion. Now the share price of Master Bran Holdings in Hong Kong has reached 10 billion U.S. dollars. If Sanyo Foods is sold, it will be about 4.3 billion U.S. dollars.
This does not include the profits shared by the three major corporations over the years.
If you count this investment profit alone, it can be called an investment classic.
But there is also a problem, that is, Akinobu Naito is sure that Itochu Corporation is willing to sell its shares in Dingxin Group in order to cooperate with Fairy Company and buy Uber's shares. But whether Asahi Beer and Sanyo Foods are willing to sell, they have to
Put a question mark.
Although there is a financial crisis now, and although Dingxin Group's business has also been affected a lot, for a consumer food company, future profit development is still relatively promising. Japanese people are never short-sighted when doing business.
Now Naito Akinobu finally understands why Xiao Qi gave him a big piece of fat in the first place. It turns out that there is such a problem in it.
Of course, this problem may be big or small.
Itochu has a lot of business, involving hundreds of industries, controlling and holding shares in more than 10,000 companies, plus business cooperation partners, the number is even more numerous.
If you want to get something, you have to pay some price.
Xiao Qi's conditions have been put forward. Whether to accept the offer and use Dingxin Group's shares in exchange for the purchase opportunity of Uber is what Itochu's board of directors needs to consider, and it has nothing to do with Naito Akinobu.
But as a bridge in this negotiation, no matter whether the business succeeds or not, as the person who can talk to Xiao Qi, Naito Akinobu's importance will be increased.
What's more, Naito Akanobu guessed that this matter should not be a big problem.
Japanese companies have been actively moving closer to emerging network technologies, but most of the time they can't find the opportunity to jump in.
Uber, an electronics company that investors around the world are optimistic about, is certainly a good entry point into the electronics network industry.
Itochu has many holding companies such as Dingxin Group and Nangshifu, but it does not have any electronic network companies with full development potential like Uber.
Therefore, Itochu Corporation is very likely to agree to such an exchange condition. After all, a trading company cannot occupy a favorable position in the new century by guarding the old industry.
After thinking about it, Naito Akenobu said: "Qi Shao, please tell me, how many Uber shares can we get at most?"
"How many people do you think can persuade the board of directors?" Xiao Qi asked.
"If it's 20%, it should be possible." Naito Akinobu spoke directly to the lion.
"No, it can only be 15% at most." Xiao Qi smiled, "I don't like to tell lies. There will be many opportunities for share expansion and financing in the future. Don't worry, Itochu Corporation will have priority to purchase shares every time.
right."
"Okay! It's settled then!"
Naito Akanobu thought for a while and said seriously.
15% plus Xiao Qi’s commitment can basically guarantee a huge influence on Uber.
"You are waiting for my news." Akira Naito said, "I will give you a preliminary reply within three days. Including Sanyo Foods and Asahi Beer, we at Itochu Corporation will negotiate with them."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Naito." Xiao Qi nodded.
"Can I ask..." Naito Akinobu hesitated, "Why are you suddenly interested in this kind of food industry? Is it because Fairy Company wants to fully expand its business?"
"Because one of my wives is from Baodao, I want to buy her a property. After much selection, I think Dingxin Group is the best." Xiao Qi said without hiding it.
"I understand, it's the same as Miss Miyamoto!" Naito Akinobu laughed dumbly, "Any girl who can meet you, Qi Shao, would be really lucky!"
As an important member of Itochu Corporation, Naito Akinobu certainly knew roughly what kind of property Xiao Qi purchased for Miyamoto Yuka.
Needless to say, Miyamoto Transportation Trading Co., Ltd. is one of the top five transportation companies in Japan. Yuka Miyamoto also owns 20% of Yahoo Japan shares.
In addition, it is said that the NTT shares that Sun Zhenyi has been actively acquiring recently were purchased for Xiao Qi, and these shares were naturally given to Miyamoto Yuka.
After careful calculation, Xiao Qi will at least give Miyamoto Yuka a fortune of about 10 billion U.S. dollars. This is truly a generous gesture that no other man in the world can give!
Judging from the example of Yuka Miyamoto, what Xiao Qi just said may indeed be true.
Then there is basically no conspiracy theory, and Naito Akinobu has even more reasons to convince the family patriarch and the old man on the board of directors.
As for Sanyo Foods and Asahi Beer, as long as Itochu wants them to let go, is there much difficulty? (To be continued)
