"I own 41% of Yawata Steel's shares, and I will help get all the shares.
The president of Fuji Steel Co., Ltd. is Takehiro Hino. Although we are competitors, we have a good relationship in private. His shareholding is about 40%.
If we form a new steel company, the two of us will probably hold about 35% of the shares."
Inayama Yoshikansu thought about it briefly and then said anxiously.
If other shareholders can be kicked off the board of directors, the management of the new steel plant will be more convenient after the merger, and the strength of the team will also be improved a lot.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhonghua immediately felt happy. He would spend less money this way, and it would be even more satisfying to win the future steel giant for less than 700 million US dollars.
Although steel companies are no longer viable in the Internet era, they are still among the top 500 companies in the world. They are just increasing their foundation. Steel is the real foundation and one of the pillar industries. It seems that the Internet industry is very profitable, but its real status is not as good as
Then the profitable industries such as steel and automobiles are still lagging behind.
Simply speaking, the extremely large number of employees under these companies is a trump card in their hands.
"No problem. If the two merge smoothly, our company will be called New Japan Steel Company. Let me continue to create the glorious achievements before and continue to become the overlord of the steel industry in Asia and even the world."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
The prototype of Nippon Steel has almost been completed. This is more than two years earlier than the merger of Nippon Steel in the previous life. Nippon Steel can also become a global giant one step earlier. It is really cool to step into the heavy industry!
Inayama Yoshihiro respectfully sent Zhang Zhonghua out of Yawata Steel. Seeing Zhang Zhonghua leaving with his bodyguards, Inayama Yoshihiro showed a smile. If the two steel companies Yawata Steel and Fuji Steel merged, what would become the giant giant?
It must be interesting to dominate the new Dongying Iron and Steel Company.
Yawata Steel has more than a dozen small shareholders, so let's acquire those shares first. The merger of the two companies will take at least one or two months to complete. Inayama Yoshihiro smiled bitterly and returned to the office to write up the acquisition plan.
"The Japanese government won't hinder it, right?" Zhang Zhonghua was still a little worried. It would be really depressing if the merger was blocked.
"Probably not. After the war, most government-owned enterprises were acquired by private parties, and these two companies are not listed companies. Yawata Steel was bought by many small shareholders, and Fuji Steel is not a Fuji Foundation industry, and Japan's
There is no conflict between those consortiums."
Zhang Zhonghua is quite familiar with these Japanese consortiums. Now, except for the largest consortium in the future, the First Financial Consortium has not been formed, the other five consortiums have basically taken shape and will develop rapidly in the 1970s.
Japan's consortium relationships are complicated. Panasonic Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is close to the Sumitomo Consortium, Sony Corporation is close to the Mitsui Consortium, Honda Giken Industrial Co., Ltd. is close to the Mitsubishi Consortium, and Hitachi Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has participated in the managers' meetings of the three consortiums: Fuji, Sanwa, and Daiichi Bank.
After World War II, companies from the disbanded Japanese chaebol system gradually gathered together to form a monopoly capital group.
After Japan surrendered in 1945, the Japanese occupation forces implemented the "zaibatsu dissolution" measures through the Japanese government, and the old chaebols were disintegrated.
In 1948, due to changes in the international situation, the pressure on the U.S. occupation forces began to ease.
In 1950, the U.S. launched a war of aggression against Korea, and Japan became a supply base for military supplies and labor services, thus gaining huge benefits.
Since the chaebol banks were not affected when the chaebol was "disbanded," from the early 1950s, managers from the old chaebol banks, centered around the old chaebol banks, joined forces with managers from major companies in the original system to form a management council.
By the early 1970s, a number of monopoly capital groups had been formed, led by six major consortiums: Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanwa, and Daiichi Bank.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
Japan's main monopoly consortiums are Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo, which are basically composed of companies in the original chaebol system; Fuji and Daiichi Bank are combined by companies from different chaebol systems; Sanwa Consortium is an emerging monopoly
Capital Group.
The Mitsubishi Corporation, the former Mitsubishi Corporation of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu, was divided into about 140 small companies when the "zaibatsu was dissolved".
In 1954, a new general trading company, Mitsubishi Corporation, was established through the merger of four corporate systems: Mitsubishi Corporation, Fuji Corporation, Totsu Trading, and Tozai Trading. At the same time, the "Kinyokai", the managers' association of each enterprise in the old Mitsubishi system, was formed.
In 1955, all companies in the system jointly established the Mitsubishi Atomic Energy Commission.
Mitsubishi Petrochemical Company was established in 1956, thus forming the Mitsubishi Consortium. This consortium mainly operates heavy industry and chemical industry, and is the strongest among the six major consortiums. Mitsubishi Bank, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Mitsubishi Corporation are its three pillars.
In 1976, there were 28 core companies in the "Jin Yao Hui", among which Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Chemical Industries, Mitsubishi Petrochemicals, Mitsubishi Steel, and Asahi Glass were among the first and second-tier companies in the same industry nationwide.
The Mitsui Consortium, the former Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of the Mitsui Zaibatsu, was divided into nearly 200 small companies in the early postwar period.
In 1959, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. was established as a comprehensive trading company by merging the two systems of Daiichi & Mitsui & Co. As early as 1950, the managers of various companies in the Mitsui system formed the "Yueyokai", a managers' association.
In 1960, the "Futuki Association" was formed. In 1955, the companies in the Mitsui system jointly established Mitsui Petrochemical Industrial Co., Ltd., and in 1956, the Japan Atomic Energy Business Association was established, and the Mitsui Foundation was formed.
In 1978, the number of companies affiliated to these two organizations reached 52. The core of the consortium is Mitsui Bank, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsui Fudosan. Major companies such as Totsu Shibaura Electric, Toyota Motor, Mitsui Petrochemicals, Oji Paper and other companies are all national
A top-ranked company.
Mitsui Consortium mainly operates light industry and mining industry. Compared with other large consortiums, the heavy chemical industry and financial industry are relatively weak.
Sumitomo Foundation, because the heavy chemical industry accounted for a large proportion of the former Sumitomo Zaibatsu enterprises, Japan's post-war economic policy of giving priority to the heavy chemical industry, centered on the revival of basic industrial sectors such as coal and fertilizers, created a path for the revival of the Zaibatsu system enterprises.
condition.
By the mid-1950s, the Sumitomo Consortium had begun to take shape. The managers of this system of enterprises were called "Shirasui Kai", and its main departments included four major financial institutions, including Sumitomo Bank, Sumitomo Trust Bank, Sumitomo Marine Fire Insurance Company, and Sumitomo Life Insurance Company.
In addition, there are large enterprises such as Sumitomo Chemical Industries, Sumitomo Heavy Machinery Industries, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Sumitomo Cement and their trading agencies Sumitomo Corporation.
The Fuji Group was formerly known as the Yasuda Zaibatsu. Yasuda Bank changed its name to Fuji Bank in 1948, and then formed a management association with some of the old Asano, Nissan, Mori, Okura and other system enterprises, called the "Furi Association", forming a financial institution centered on Fuji Bank.
Fuji Foundation, also known as Furong Foundation.
There are 29 companies participating in the "Hibiscus Meeting", including four major financial institutions such as Fuji Bank, Yasuda Trust Bank, Yasuda Marine Fire Insurance Company, and Yasuda Life Insurance Company, as well as giant companies such as Nissan Motor, Japan Steel Pipe, and Kubota Iron Works Company.
Enterprises and general trading company Marubeni Corporation.
Sanwa Foundation, in 1967, managers from dozens of companies including Sanwa Bank, Ube Industries, Hitachi Zosen, Teijin Corporation, Maruzen Oil Company, Kobe Steel, Nissho Iwai Company, Takashimaya Company, etc. formed the Managers Council
, named "Sansui Society", formed the Sanwa Consortium with Sanwa Bank as the center. The consortium is relatively loose, and its affiliated companies such as Hitachi Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Kobe Steel are all cross-system enterprises.
Daiichi Banking Group In 1971, Daiichi Bank and Japan Banking Corporation merged to form Daiichi Banking Group. Later, due to lending relationships, they merged with the "Furukawa Sansui Kai" of the old Furukawa Zaibatsu, the "Mukai" of the old Kawasaki Zaibatsu and
The "Tenth Five-Year Company Association" of the old Quanyin system formed the joint manager association "Three Financial Associations", which was called the First Quanyin Consortium.
Its members are complex, with numerous factions and loose connections. Daiichi Bank is the largest private bank in Japan, and its strength can compete with the world's major banks. The leadership core of the consortium is mainly composed of Daiichi Bank, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Fujitsu Corporation
.In addition, major companies include Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, Japan Light Metal, Isuzu Motors, Furukawa Electric, Yoin Tochu Corporation, etc.
It's not easy to get around in Japan. It's better not to touch those core fields for now, and let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity. It's easy to be besieged if you enter now, and Zhang Zhonghua doesn't want to die.
Zhang Zhonghua let out a long sigh, money is not everything.
On this day, Zhang Zhonghua was in the office watching the progress of his work for half a month. He was quite satisfied with his money-making ability.
The supermarket project is progressing well. Employees from the marketing department of the Japanese branch have purchased ten large stores and eight traditional supermarkets. They will continue to purchase and renovate them.
Suppliers of goods are relatively easy to find. Yuhuang Group’s channels in Southeast Asia are not weak either. You can’t get fat with just one bite. We will build our own supply chain system in the future.
Nippon Steel's progress is a bit slow, and some small shareholders are simply dreaming of opening their mouths. For those who are unwilling to sell their shares, Inayama Yoshihiro also started to make a show of increasing investment and diluting their shares.
Yoshihiro Inayama will soon be able to form a wholly-owned controlling stake in Yawata Steel, and then he can start to acquire Fuji Steel. Of course, the reorganization and merger of the two companies will also take some time.
Gong Qigao walked into the office and saw the boss still reading the report. He couldn't help but sigh that the boss's enthusiasm for work was really high.
"Boss, it is rumored that Bruce Lee is going to return to Hong Kong Island to develop his career!"
"Although there are not many TV users on Hong Kong Island at present, the film industry is about to usher in great development. It is normal for Mr. Li to want to return to Hong Kong Island for development."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
The United States has the highest popularity of televisions, followed by Japan. Both countries have television giants.
"Lei's Voice has been on the air for more than ten years, but it charges a monthly fee of HK$25. TVB is free, and future programs will be in Chinese. There will definitely be a lot of new users, but it is not easy to make money."
Gong Qigao said with a smile.
"Uncle Liu has changed from a movie tycoon to a TV tycoon, and he will be able to watch exciting programs in the future."
I really don’t know any of the stars of the 1960s, Zhang Zhonghua. The only thing I know is that Bruce Lee is still opening a shop in Chou Country to recruit disciples. Although he said he would return to Hong Kong Island, he did not return to Hong Kong Island until 1971 to join.
Golden Harvest Film Company.
However, "Happy Tonight" has also started broadcasting. This is Hong Kong TVB's long-lived variety show. It has been broadcast live every Friday night for 27 years. For a period in the 1980s, it was changed to live broadcast on Saturday nights. The number of episodes produced is included in the world record.
In 1971, in order to attract acting talents, Radio Television began to organize artist training classes that would later be known as the "Star Making Factory" and cultivated a large number of film and television superstars who later became popular in Hong Kong and Macao.
"Boss, you have no idea of entering the film and television industry?"
"Not yet, let them all keep a low profile. Our usual style is to be low-key and do things in a high-profile way. Although the film and television industry can make some money, what we make now is ultimately small money, not worth mentioning."
Zhang Zhonghua doesn't even dare to go back to Hong Kong Island now. The club is a bit too ruthless. Although Zhang Long, the others and Jade Emperor Security have taken care of things, who knows if someone will take the risk again. A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall.
"By the way, boss, there seems to be a bank on Hong Kong Island that is currently for sale. Hong Kong Island's banking regulations have a lot of restrictions. Do we want to take them down?"
Gong Qigao said.
"Didn't the regulations just be revised a few years ago? The Hong Kong government has stopped issuing bank licenses. What kind of weird regulations has the Hong Kong Island government issued?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
The first banks on Hong Kong Island were all established by British banks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Oriental Bank, headquartered in London, came to Hong Kong to set up a branch in 1845. It was the first bank established by British capital in Hong Kong and the first commercial bank on Hong Kong Island. Later, other British capital
Banks came to Hong Kong one after another, and Lee Bank and Standard Chartered Bank were the first British banks to open branches in Hong Kong.
In 1865, the Shanghai HSBC Bank was established on Hong Kong Island, becoming the first commercial bank registered locally on Hong Kong Island.
In 1866, HSBC was allowed to join the ranks of banknotes, quickly replacing the position of the Oriental Bank and becoming the largest bank in Hong Kong Island, and later acquired the Oriental Bank.
At the beginning of the century, Chinese-funded enterprises gradually emerged and developed on Hong Kong Island. Dozens of banks were established successively, which led to the rise of Chinese-funded banks. Since the British in Hong Kong had always adopted a laissez-faire policy at that time, they basically did not regulate banking business, and there was no
With the establishment of any legal regulation of banks, the number of banks surged, reaching a peak of 143 in 1948.
There are a large number of banks and no regulation, resulting in uneven quality of banks and disorderly competition. Bank runs occur from time to time.
After more than 100 years of disorderly development since the opening of the Hong Kong Island banking industry, especially the vicious competition after the war, the Banking Ordinance was born in 1948. The original purpose of the Ordinance was to protect the interests of public depositors and avoid possible social consequences.
This problem greatly inhibited the blind expansion of the banking industry. Subsequently, a large number of banks that did not comply with the provisions of the "Banking Regulations" were eliminated. However, the regulations did not regulate bank competition behavior.
The blind deposit price war has led to rising capital costs, forcing some banks to focus too much on investment and lending projects with high returns and high risks, and real estate is one of them.
Ten years ago, the real estate industry suffered a setback, banks suffered another run, and many banks were acquired.
In December 1964, the Hong Kong government announced the implementation of a new version of the Banking Ordinance, which imposed many restrictions on banks. In January 1965, shortly after the regulations were promulgated, a series of bank runs, bankruptcies, and takeovers broke out. The Hong Kong government decided
Freeze the issuance of new bank licenses. This year, the Hong Kong government has added regulatory content such as bank equity and liquid assets to the Banking Ordinance, and will eliminate a number of banks."
Zhang Zhonghua also knew how crazy the bank was.
Bank shareholders use depositors' money to invest in their own family or friends' companies. Isn't this a typical misappropriation of public funds? Such arbitrary misappropriation of depositors' money will naturally lead to insufficient liquid reserve funds. Once there are several runs, it will be a disaster.
Zhang Zhonghua originally thought that Hong Kong Island's stock market system was not sound, but he did not expect that the bank's system was even more outrageous.
