Suning is very happy to invest in two future greats, Ibuka Dai and Morita Akio, but it has not yet figured out how to operate it.
It would be meaningless to directly acquire Tokyo Communications Industry Co., Ltd., because without Dai Ibuka and Akio Morita, it may be difficult to obtain Sony in the future.
If Suning wants to be a one-man company and control everything, it may force Ibuka and Akio Morita away, and when they start a new business, it will end up in a situation where it is impossible to beat the odds.
Therefore, Suning is more inclined to hold a certain proportion of shares in the same way that Japan's Softbank Masayoshi Son invested in Alibaba, but as an angel investor and not specifically involved in the company's operations.
It's just that he now has many prophets from later generations, and many inadvertent guidance can achieve the effect of saving the company from many detours, so Suning is a little unwilling to hold too few shares.
After thinking about it, Suning felt that she was too entangled and in the end there was no suitable result.
Looking at Jing Shenda in front of him who was introducing his company eloquently, Suning considered noncommittally. After about ten minutes, he signaled Jing Shenda to stop his speech.
"Ibuka-kun, Morita-kun, how much money do you need?"
Jing Shen and the other two people, who were feeling uneasy, suddenly showed expressions of surprise when they heard Suning's words, and quickly expressed their thoughts, "Mr. Su, our company needs two million Hong Kong dollars.
Morita-kun and I are very optimistic about transistor technology and are preparing to develop a transistor radio."
"Well! How many shares of the company are you prepared to give?"
"Thirty percent!" Ibuka and Akio Morita looked at each other, and then said a ratio uncertainly.
Before Suning could say anything, Heidi on the side was very angry, "Haha, do you really think our boss is a fool?
There are so many high-quality Japanese companies that we don’t invest in, but we just invest in a small company like yours that is so “tasteless”!”
"Eh? Mr. Heidi, maybe you don't know something.
Our Tokyo Communications Industry Co., Ltd. was established as early as 46 years ago.
It has developed into a very powerful company in Japan."
"Haha, although I have never heard of your company, I am still somewhat aware of transistor technology, which is not favored by current professionals."
"Huh?" Neither Ibuka nor Akio Morita expected that Heidi actually knew something about the electronics industry.
"Ibuka-kun, Morita-kun, and Heidi's words may sound unpleasant, but they are also true!
It is impossible for me to exchange two million Hong Kong dollars for only 30% of your shares!"
Suning's implication was not as disgusting with them as Heidi was. Both Ibuka and Akio Morita were a little surprised in their hearts. Then Ibuka lowered his head and said, "Mr. Su, we can still discuss the share ratio!"
"Well! Ibuka-kun, Morita-kun, I can invest in your company and give you four million Hong Kong dollars.
But I want to get 75% of your company's shares."
"Nani?" Ibuka, Akio Morita, and even Heidi on the side showed shocked expressions.
"But don't rush to answer, I have other requests because I have been living mostly in Hong Kong.
So you must put the company’s future R&D department in Hong Kong to facilitate future management.”
"Mr. Su, the shareholding ratio you require is too high!
Please forgive us for not being able to agree!
We can only sell up to 60% of our shares!
Moreover, if the R&D department is placed in Hong Kong, it will not be conducive to the development of the company. I think it is better to stay in Japan!"
"Haha, Ibuka-kun, Morita-kun, it seems that our relationship has broken down!
That's a pity!" In response to Ibuka and Morita Akio's rejection, Suning smiled indifferently.
"Uh? Mr. Su, why don't you and Mr. Heidi go to our company tomorrow to inspect it and then make a decision?" Seeing that the negotiation collapsed like this, Jing Shenda still wanted to continue trying to redeem himself.
"No need! We will return to Hong Kong early tomorrow morning!"
"This...Mr. Su, your request is too harsh, and we really can't agree to it!"
"Jing Shen, this is great!
I will take a step back and invest three million in your company, holding 60% of the shares.
As for the R&D department must be established in Hong Kong, this is my personal bottom line!
Ibuka-kun, Morita-kun, if you decide, you can go to Hong Kong to find me!"
"..." After hearing Suning's final request, Ibuka and Morita Akio knew that there was no use in talking more, so they said goodbye and left.
Watching Jing Shenda and the others leaving, Heidi couldn't help complaining to Suning, "Boss, these two Japanese are so ungrateful!
They have reached the point where they are at the end of their rope, and they still treat us investors as fools.”
"Haha, this is normal!
No one will give up their own interests!
However, what happened today reminded me that the electronics industry has a very bright future.
Our group's next investment direction can be in the electronics industry."
"Well! If the boss is interested in the electronics industry, I can contact him in Germany.
Help the boss recruit some real electronic talents from Germany.
I can't guarantee that the others will definitely be much better than these two Japanese!"
"Haha, okay! I'll leave this matter to you!"
...
Suning did not deceive Ibuka and Morita Akio. He flew back to Hong Kong early the next morning and did not give Ibuka and Morita Akio any chance to get entangled.
As soon as she returned to Hong Kong, Heidi sent a telegram to her friends in Germany and asked them to help contact suitable talents in the electronics industry to come to Hong Kong.
Suning also directly registered Sony Electronics in Hong Kong. No matter what Ibuka and Akio Morita decided in the end, Suning decided to enter the electronics industry.
This trip to Japan failed to capture two future greats, Akio Morita and Dai Ibuka. Although it made Suning feel a bit regretful, it still gave Suning some ideas about future investment directions.
"Husband, did you gain anything from your trip to Japan this time?"
“Haha, I didn’t spend a penny except for food and drinks!
I originally wanted to invest in an electronics company, but the negotiation fell through because my requirements were too high."
"Hey, I see you are focusing on eating all day long!
I heard that Japan is a paradise for men, did you and that German guy Heidi mess around in Japan?"
"Huh? It's all arranged by the shipyard in Japan. It's hard to refuse the hospitality, so it's just a show."
"Liar! None of you men are good guys. When you have money, you will become bad!"
"..." Suning was really speechless and didn't know how to answer Axia's words.
Seeing that Suning no longer paid attention to her, Axia suddenly lay on Suning's body, "Hubby, I know there are many temptations out there!
I also know that some social interactions are difficult to avoid. I just ask you to think more about our mother and son."
"Hey! Ah Xia, I'm really not the kind of person who changes his mind when he sees something new.
There will definitely be necessary entertainment, but it will never exceed the bottom line!
Look at the training school where there were so many enthusiastic foreign women, did I do anything out of the ordinary?"
"Even if I have some interactions with Susan and his wife, they are still like normal friends. There is nothing like what you think."
