Chapter 252 Shirakawa Sang, are you interested in Aihua?

An hour later, he had previously welcomed Hirataro Nakajima's office and welcomed Shirakawa Kaede again.

"Oga Sang" had just arrived here and saw that Oga Nobuo had prepared coffee in the reception area.

"San Shirakawa, please forgive me if you take the liberty to invite you over." Oga Nobuo stood up, changed into a smile and shook hands with him.

"I am very happy to be able to communicate with Ogasang." This is not the first time I met him, and Shirakawa Kaede was much more casual.

Oga Nobuo couldn't help laughing at the slightly joking compliment of Shirakawa Kaede.

"Shankawa always has amazing words, and Shirakawa Electric's creativity always has amazing actions."

After both sides sat down, Oga Nobuo took the lead in praising Shirakawa Electric's recent moves.

"Shirakawa Electric is just trying to keep up with Sony's footsteps, and your R&D strength is beyond your reach."

Although I don't know what Oga Nobuo is so anxious to find him, Shirakawa Kaede is not in a hurry to ask questions.

"Shankawa is too modest." Oga Nobuo waved his hand, "Shirakawa Electric has given Sony a lot of inspiration in terms of creativity."

This sentence is not that Oga Nobuo is deliberately complimenting, but that Shirakawa Electric has indeed attracted Sony's attention in some aspects.

For example, if you hear some practical small functions on the Walkman, the implementation method may not be difficult, but the difficult one is the idea.

"Your Society is not only amazing in terms of creativity, but also impressive in terms of cost control."

Shirakawa Kaede was a little focused, he knew the meat show was coming.

"After all, Shirakawa Electric Appliances is too weak, so we can only go to the market to seize people with slightly weak consumption power."

Shirakawa Electric and Sony are currently not very competitive in the low-end market, so Shirakawa Kaede doesn't mind discussing topics with Oga Nobuo.

However, after hearing Shirakawa Kaede's sigh, Oga Nobuo sighed.

"I can understand what Shirakawa Sang said.

After all, Aihua also has also entered the low-end market, but now it is difficult."

Here comes, Shirakawa Kaede is excited.

"Dahesan, you are looking for me today, is that..."

Since the topic has ended here, Shirakawa Kaede simply made it straight to the point and pointed out the topic.

Oga Nobuo nodded and affirmed Shirakawa Kaede's guess, "I guess Shirakawa Sang has heard of Aihua's affairs, right?"

"A little idea of ​​one or two" Shirakawa Kaede nodded quietly.

Nonsense, Shirakawa Kaede prepared a big gift for Aihua in the North American market.

He knew very well what the end of Aihua ended up.

It is said that Aihua stocked millions of walkmans in the last batch, but it is estimated that there is not even one-tenth of them that can be sold in the end.

Shirakawa Electric has made an estimate internally that hundreds of thousands of goods have been in a backlog.

Even if the operating costs are not calculated and the material consumption is just the cost, Aihua will lose at least 5 billion yen.

In the local market, Aihua's Walkman was also sniped by Shirakawa Electric.

Although it will not be unsalable, its market share is now pitifully small.

It can be said that the second time Aihua Walkman business came out, he was once again crushed by Shirakawa Electric.

Although the matter was done, Shirakawa still looked like an outsider on his face.

During the operation in North America, Shirakawa Electric has always been invisible behind the scenes.

All are contacting local tyrants through unconventional means to ensure the implementation of the plan step by step.

In addition, Ihua does not have a mature operating system in North America. Although it is known to be related to racial conflicts, it has not yet figured out what the details are.

As for Shirakawa Electric, of course he is very innocent now.

When Oga Nobuo and Shirakawa Kaede mentioned Aihua, they were naturally aimless.

"Aihua made some mistakes in some judgments in the Walkman business.

Now that the business situation is slightly setback, I don’t know…” Oga Nobuo leaned forward slightly, “I wonder if Shirakawa Electric is interested in Aihua?”

Hum?! Shirakawa Feng blinked, and he felt that he had heard it wrong.

Is Shirakawa Electric interested in Aihua? This...

"Ogasan, do you mean..." Shirakawa Kaede's shining eyes were full of curiosity.

Are you interested? Hmm, I'm still a little interested.

"I believe Shirakawa Sang also knows how Aihua's performance in the stock market recently.

Some shareholders on the board of directors have lost patience with Aihua."

Aihua is a listed company in Japan, and its operating conditions are sometimes directly reflected in the stock market.

Last year, the stock price plummeted due to plagiarism of Shirakawa Electric Appliances.

Although Aihua's reputation was not very good at that time, it only compensated Shirakawa Electric about 500 million yen.

Because the foundation is still there, the shareholders behind the scenes have no plans to sell them on a large scale.

But Aihua once again fell into the Walkman business this year, causing losses of billions of yen.

This is completely unacceptable to shareholders. It doesn’t matter if the reputation is bad, but it doesn’t work.

So this time, Aihua's stock price fell again, and some members of the shareholders' meeting lost their patience.

Shirakawa Kaede understood what Oga Nobuo meant, and he was trying to take over it.

"Oga Sangsu is aware that Aihua and Shirakawa Electric have a great overlap in their business.

Strictly speaking, it is a competitor, so is it inappropriate for Shirakawa Electric to hold shares in Aihua?"

Both are audio equipment manufacturers. In addition to Walkman, Shirakawa Electric will soon launch audio products.

This part is also within the business scope of Aihua. From this point of view, the two are indeed authentic competitors.

Competitors hold shares with each other, no matter how they look at it, is this love and kill each other?

"Shirakawa Sandang was worried too much." Oga Nobuo had a different view on this, "Sony and Aihua are also competitors, but Sony also holds shares in Aihua.

This is a healthy competitive relationship that will not affect each other's business or have adverse interference."

Shirakawa Kaede secretly curled his lips. Sony is the absolute controlling shareholder of Aihua, so of course he is not afraid of Aihua's competition.

Even if Sony is willing, if Aihua has any black technology, it can be seen on Sony's products immediately.

But after Shirakawa Electric took over, what could Shirakawa Kaishi do? Without thinking, Sony was the first to refuse to agree.

Shirakawa Feng's eyes turned, he thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "How many stocks are there in Aihua?"

Oga Nobuo was excited, "5.3%. If Shirakawa Sanaki is willing, they can transfer them all to Shirakawa Electric."

5.3%, according to the current market value of Aihua about 30 billion yen, this is an investment of 1.6 billion yen.

Aihua's market value was initially close to 40 billion last year, but after more than a year of struggle, it has only barely maintained at around 30 billion.

Shirakawa Kaede knows who the evaporated 10 billion yen is credited, but he doesn't say it.

Seeing that Shirakawa Kaede was still pondering, Oga Nobuo once again bewitched.

"This transaction was completed directly within the shareholders' meeting and there will be no objection. On this point, Shirakawa Sang can rest assured."

To be honest, Nobuo Oga's own view on Aihua is like a useless rib. It's a pity to eat it without taste.

Losing the Walkman market, Aihua no longer has any commendable highlights in finance.

Recorders, radios, microphones, audio equipment, etc., after all, the market size is limited, and some are still sunset industries.

And Sony has these businesses, and it is better than Aihua.

So he was not very interested in Aihua's shares.

But shareholders cannot be allowed to sell their shares. Once a sell-off wave occurs at such a stall, Sony itself will lose the most.

If you are not interested and cannot continue to let the stock price fall sharply, then finding someone to take over is the most appropriate way.

Who should I find to take over? Of course it was the Shirakawa Kaedan.

First of all, Shirakawa Electric has a good reputation, as long as the other party officially invests.

Then Aihua will send the announcement out, and I believe that investors will regain confidence in Aihua.

Secondly, Shirakawa Electric's scale is within Sony's tolerance range. If it is Panasonic or Hitachi, Oga Nobuo really dares to let the other party enter the game.

So after thinking about it, Shirakawa Kaede is still in front of him, and it is even more harmless.

The harmless humans and animals Shirakawa Kaede's mind was running rapidly and began to care about the gains and losses of investing in Aihua.

His judgment on Aihua's prospects is similar to that of Oga Nobuo. If Shirakawa Electric had not appeared, Aihua might have made a difference.
