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 asked the vice president to attend, but everyone knew that Xiao Qi never liked crowded occasions, and he had never attended a formal occasion so far. Everyone regarded this as Xiao Qi's
I don't take it seriously as a small hobby.
Takahashi Shunkei had a 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 in LCD, digital, solar, etc., and Fairy will also obtain 13,256 technologies and patents in the above mentioned areas. And in the next ten years, in these fields, three companies will
The company will have closer cooperation and will jointly build dozens of laboratories to share resources and results.
In return, Samsung and Fairy will give up their 28% and 39% shares in Sharp. Through price discounts and patent deductions, Sharp will also pay Samsung US$4 billion and Fairy US$5 billion.
The funds will be paid through Mizuho Industrial Bank and Tokyo-Mitsubishi Financial Bank within the next six months."
After saying these words, Takahashi Shunkei seemed to have lost all strength and sat on the chair, never wanting to move again.
The reporters below were also in an uproar.
Based on the current share price of Sharp, it is equivalent to buying back the shares held by Samsung and Fairy at a higher price, and then giving away almost all the valuable patents in its hands to Samsung and Fairy.
In other words, although Samsung and Fairy lost about two to three billion US dollars each due to the sharp drop in Sharp's stock price, such losses were almost all of Sharp's fifty years of research and development achievements, which is an incredible achievement.
What a victory!
These technologies and patents, which are related to Sharp's lifeblood, are not necessarily worth selling to others for even 20 to 30 billion US dollars, let alone 2 to 3 billion US dollars!
There is also the matter of jointly establishing a laboratory. It is clear that Sharp's scientific researchers will be used to continue the research and development of the patents and technologies obtained.
Although it is good for Sharp's own technology development to have wealthy Samsung and Fairy to pay the bill, considering that these technologies are used by Samsung and Fairy in their own products, Sharp, which has lagged behind in terms of physical products, must also be in trouble.
Depressing.
This shows how difficult it is for Sharp to make so many concessions.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi received a share of Sharp's entire fortune.
But there is no way to do this.
If Sharp doesn't share all its valuable patents and technologies, with the characters of Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi, Sharp will definitely go bankrupt, and then slowly take away Sharp's things.
It's a little better now. At least the shares are temporarily back in Sharp's hands. Although they all borrowed money from the bank, they can make the decision after all.
Moreover, by cooperating with Samsung and Fairy Company, not only do you not have to spend money, but you can also get a lot of new technologies and apply them to your own products. This is also a good thing.
It's just that its reputation is not very good. Others would think that Sharp has become a subsidiary of Samsung and Fairy.
In any case, an agreement has been signed on this matter. So what Sharp thinks and what the Japanese think are not that important.
Both Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi admire the work spirit of the Japanese and will not worry about the procrastination and inactivity of Sharp's scientific researchers in future cooperation.
As long as you can get benefits, it will be fine. 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 to places like 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 my wives at home have called me a lot, so naturally it is time to go back.
But Sayuri didn't think so. When she heard that her father was going back to China, she cried as usual, forcing Xiao Qi to fight with her and promised to come back as soon as possible before reluctantly agreeing.
Yuxiang is a restrained Japanese woman, but now her heart is tied to Xiao Qi, and she has given birth to a daughter to Xiao Qi. Of course, she is reluctant to let her husband go back to China. Although she is used to being obedient, she is not allowed to leave for now.
His eyes were still full of tears, and Xiao Qi couldn't help but come up with the idea of "buying a few small islands somewhere and letting the wives live on nearby islands respectively, so that they can be together."
It's not that Xiao Qi doesn't have islands.
He bought thirty-six islands in the Maldives, and now they are basically developed into very beautiful islands.
But the climate conditions in the Maldives are not very good. It is too hot and humid, and the living conditions are not convenient.
Therefore, Xiao Qi also has plans to buy islands in other places. In addition to being able to have a comfortable vacation, there is also a reason to buy more property for future generations.
…
Sharp's acquisition lasted almost a year. Although there were twists and turns, it was still smooth.
This also shows the importance of layout. If it is like what is said in the novel, such a large company can be established in three to five days, it is simply a joke.
Buying a company is not just as simple as buying stocks on the stock market. There are also many factors outside the market that restrict it. If one factor is not good, no matter how rich you are, you will easily lose everything.
For example, in his previous life, Xiao Qi knew that many electronic technology companies in China were taking advantage of the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis and financial crisis to prepare for aggressive acquisitions of companies in the United States.
But when the negotiations with the acquired company were almost complete, the U.S. government departments suddenly came out and directly said that your acquisition would have an impact on the national security of the United States, so they directly bypassed the court and declared your acquisition invalid. The early stage was huge.
All your investment is lost!
Awesome, 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 China wants to rise, it will be absolutely impossible without a few fights with the United States!
Let’s ignore this matter.
It is precisely because he knows the various difficulties of acquisitions that Xiao Qi will make the most detailed preparations for acquisitions in the United States.
Of course, the U.S. government will not take notice of those new small companies. After all, dozens of such small companies are established in the United States every day, and dozens of them close down every day. Who knows what you are buying?
Isn’t it a company that will go bankrupt tomorrow?
On the other hand, if companies like Disney and Universal NB want to buy, they have to be very careful.
Maybe the U.S. government will tell Xiao Qi that these two companies involve U.S. national security, so they cannot be sold...
Therefore, Xiao Qi decided to abide by the rules from the beginning and make good use of them.
First of all, Xiao Qi did not do the acquisition himself, but instead entrusted the Blackstone Group. The chairman of the Blackstone Group is the former Secretary of Commerce of the United States. He has very broad connections in the U.S. government. After receiving Xiao Qi's commission, he will naturally know how to do it.
Communicate and learn how to avoid unsuccessful acquisitions.
Then Blackstone Group did the same thing. In the past five months, they were acquiring shares while studying how to avoid government interference. When the U.S. stock market fell again and again, they were not in a hurry to buy them.
, but the first step is to communicate first, and then talk slowly.
One of the great things about Blackstone Group is that when they buy and sell shares, the other party is willing to do so. It is definitely not like financial giants such as Gao Shen, Citigroup, and Lehman Brothers, who often use small means to coerce and induce.
A good reputation is the biggest basis for Blackstone Group to win the trust of its partners.
Therefore, Xiao Qi does not need to worry. The stocks acquired through Blackstone Group will eventually be taken advantage of by the U.S. government and said to be forced to sell when the U.S. government is in trouble. He will be in a favorable position morally.
Next, Xiao Qi spent a lot of his own money to smoothen relations with the Ministry of Commerce, the Fair Trade Commission and other places, plus three or five senators. He also received a large amount of donations from Xiao Qi every year.
These are not just done now. Xiao Qi started doing this as early as 2007, and will continue to do so in the future to truly expand and strengthen his relationship network in the United States.
Xiao Qi also has many friends in the U.S. financial and business circles. Although they cannot directly interfere with some U.S. policies, as the country's elite, their remarks and tendencies will greatly affect people's thinking.
, this is another very advantageous place for Xiao Qi.
In addition, Xiao Qi also has Mario Law Firm, which is currently ranked among the top five in the United States. Its barristers have exceeded 80, and the number of general lawyers has increased to more than 400. The number of service personnel surrounding them has also increased to
There are more than 1,800 people, and the entire market value has been estimated to be as much as 3 billion US dollars.
Such a behemoth, in the United States, where lawyers are the most popular, is naturally a powerful person. If anyone wants to deal with Xiao Qi, they will think twice.
Think about the lawsuit between Google and Fairy at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. The overwhelming group of lawyers launched an attack, which almost annoyed Google to death. Now that Page heard about the lawsuit, he still felt guilty.
It was only after combining so many preparations and advantages that Xiao Qi dared to acquire the behemoth Disney.
Although there will be too many troubles after the acquisition, if you want to get such a good company, how can you not make more efforts?
In life, we always have to constantly overcome difficulties in order to move forward better! (To be continued...)
