According to Buffett, if you spend 50 billion US dollars now and wait for Japan's economy to improve in a few years, it will become 150 billion US dollars. When someone told Li Cong this, Li Cong's first feeling was that this person was a liar, but
This was said by the legendary American stock market god, and he had just cooperated with me again and made tens of billions of dollars from the Japanese. The credibility is relatively high. He also followed Buffett to increase the unit of money from RMB to US dollars.
"Okay, neither of us is short of money. 50 billion is 50 billion. I have to issue this check to you immediately after I take it. Anyway, I got it in exchange for 250, so I'll take it and call again."
Go and exchange some two hundred and fifty for me." Li Cong kept saying two hundred and fifty, but Buffett was not a pure Chinese after all, and he didn't know much about this term.
"I knew you would say that. Our acquisition this time will first target the Fujifilm Group, which suffered the most serious losses, namely the Furong Group. This group shrunk by as much as 40% during the financial crisis, and its stock price fell by more than 10%.
Forty percent is also the weakest link among the six major consortiums. Although the six major consortiums in Japan are not a whole, they still have a lot of contact. This is where we can open a gap." After talking for a long time, Li Cong said
Now I understand, this is a persimmon that needs to be picked up. "It owns four major financial institutions including Fuji Bank, Yasuda Trust Bank, Yasuda Marine Fire Insurance Company, Yasuda Life Insurance Company, as well as Nissan Motor, Nippon Steel Pipe, and Kubota Iron Works
Corporation and other giant companies as well as the general trading company Marubeni Corporation, among which the heaviest losses were Fuji Bank and Yasuda Trust Bank. After we acquired most of the shares of these two banks, we can rely on these two banks to conduct domestic operations in Japan.
To acquire large-scale high-quality enterprises, I will show you this time what it means to make a big difference. I will use our 100 billion US dollars to swallow up 300 billion US dollars of property. After doing this, I will quit." Buffett seemed to
It’s also tiring. Indeed, after doing this, we just wait for the appreciation of these industries.
"I have heard of Fuji Bank, but the market value of this bank alone exceeds tens of billions of dollars. Will our acquisition be successful? If the entire Furong Group is aware of our acquisition, will they follow it with all their strength?
We are resisting. We in China have a saying. You also know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although their Furong Consortium is seriously injured, they can still get tens of billions of dollars easily by negotiating with several other major consortiums. They can
We delay until the economy recovers. They can delay it but we can't." Li Cong knew that since Buffett's acquisition could be told to him, there wouldn't be any problems. He would definitely think of everything he could think of.
, the reason why I raised this question was to make things difficult for this old man, who was not satisfied with the problem of sending students there.
"Haha, you are worrying too much about this. Although several major consortiums in Japan are connected, they are far from what you thought. If it were before the financial crisis, several major consortiums might have pooled this money for Fuji Bank, but
Now they don't understand our intentions and are afraid that they will be acquired next, so they must keep enough of their own money to protect themselves. We will take advantage of their mentality to prevent them from concentrating capital, and we will be better off one by one.
Break through, but my movements will definitely be fast and swift, so you don't have to worry about this." This old guy is really a fox, he just doesn't think about his own side, and he is just playing tricks on himself.
As soon as Li Cong saw that he couldn't achieve his goal, he might as well withdraw. It was already getting late. The two chatted for a few more words and then Li Cong withdrew with the two huge checks. He still wanted to think about how to spend the extra five dollars.
A billion dollars, maybe.
Of course Buffett understands what Li Cong means. He has been working hard in the business for so long, how could he not understand what Li Cong means? What kind of person is best at playing finance, that is, someone who has both capital and technology?
There is no doubt that Buffett is such a person. The financial world is his world. He cannot tolerate another person like him. He can share his profits equally with Li Cong, but he cannot let Li Cong have the same ability as him. If
It's okay if Li Congkong has funds but no ambition, but Li Cong's ambition is obviously not without it, and it is very big, as can be seen from the acquisition of the Japanese consortium, so he cannot agree to Li Cong's request in any case.
Two months later, Japan.
Nobu Yasuda, the president of Japan's Fuji Bank, was getting drunk in a Tokyo nightclub at this time. After the financial tsunami, the entire Fuji Bank can only be described as miserable. If he knew that this worse thing had not yet come, I wonder if he would have been there.
When I wanted to cum, I slipped off the junior high school student in front of me. Things in the bank have been very difficult these days. There is no good news everywhere. This is already the third day in a row. Yasuda used to disdain to come to this kind of place.
I was looking for a little girl, but my son's friend opened a special introduction point for social assistance. In order to curry favor with me, they kept this most tender little girl to themselves every day, and I also fell in love with this "sport".
The bodyguard at the door has been listening to the sex scene for a long time. This aphrodisiac produced by the Americans is effective. It has allowed an old guy like Yasuda, who is almost 60, to fight for so long. Japan has not been very peaceful recently. Unemployed people are often on the streets.
He went to murder and robberies to vent his dissatisfaction, so he had to bring bodyguards with him when he came to such a romantic place. Yasuda knew how hard he was, and he didn't know if he could afford to pay his bodyguards as the stock price continued to fall.
It has been almost 20 years since I took over Fuji Bank from my father. In the past 20 years, the market value of Fuji Bank has more than doubled in my hands, and I have also been prosperous. However, I did not expect that a financial crisis would reach this level.
At the time, he established the Furong Consortium despite the opposition of the board of directors, but he did not expect that the consortium he created was no longer his own. At his most difficult moment, he borrowed 10 billion U.S. dollars from the consortium to tide over the difficulties, but was unexpectedly criticized by the consortium's board of directors.
It is still unclear whether Fuji Bank can survive this crisis without this money.
It was finally over an hour later, and the emptiness in my heart came again. It is true that I can get drunk here, but the difficulties that should come later will still come. When I was depressed, my phone rang. Yasuda really didn’t want to answer the phone.
There hasn't been any good news to cheer me up in the past few months, but when I saw the number, it was a very important subordinate who was responsible for running the bank's stocks. I'm afraid he wouldn't call me if there was no big deal.
"The boss is not good. We have observed that someone is buying up our stocks in large amounts. They are buying at the lowest point every day. So far, they have bought more than one billion US dollars. This has happened before, but then
Under the premise of a good economic background, our analysis of the large-scale acquisition under the current situation should be that someone wants to acquire our Fuji Bank." This sentence is like a bolt from the blue, someone wants to acquire? There is no one in the world who has this ability.
How many, Americans? French? I can’t even remember who they are. Don’t you know that behind Fuji Bank is the Hibiscus Consortium? How much money must be raised to launch a takeover war for Fuji Bank?
"Boss, it may be that we made a mistake. Now our stock price has risen by 3%. If someone hadn't acquired it, maybe our group could have used this opportunity to raise some funds." The person on the other side of the phone said again.
He came up with this idea, but Yasuda obviously felt that this sentence was not convincing. When a company reaches a certain moment of crisis, it is not a shameful thing to sell shares to tide over the difficulties. However, the shares have a certain limit, and they must not exceed their bottom line.
Otherwise, this company will no longer belong to you.
Yasuda ended the fun here in a hurry. He had to convene the board of directors immediately to discuss the matter, and he had to ask the group for help immediately. If this mysterious person continued to buy, the group would have to buy back its own shares. This is not a trivial matter. Alas,
Who is going to make trouble with us?
While Yasuda was confused, Buffett was enjoying himself in the United States. It was just a small test, and his real battle has not yet begun.
