Several burly men walked through the VIP passage, all wearing sunglasses and casual clothes. One of them was carrying a black briefcase. Wang Yaocheng was walking in the middle, dressed in light-colored casual clothes, followed by business attachés and adjourned bodyguards.
.
This group of people appeared in the VIP area of the airport and immediately attracted attention.
The two big black men in front are too strong. Wilburton is 2.03 meters tall and is a former black center on the football team. He is also good with firearms. After retiring, he obtained a security personnel license.
Dan Futterman is a retired career non-commissioned officer of the Army's 101st Airborne Division. He is 1.98 meters tall and has an extremely burly physique.
He had experienced the Gulf War and operated the MK44 Bushmaster 30mm machine gun on a Stryker armored infantry vehicle. He retired due to a traffic accident and also obtained a security personnel license.
Both of them have undergone strict screening and joined the bodyguard team at the beginning of the year. They have clean backgrounds and no criminal records. They have happy and harmonious families, no alcoholism and no records of domestic violence. They have undergone strict drug-taking history screening and testing, and they are eager to have a
Stable job.
The current bodyguard team has expanded to 24 people, and is usually divided into three shifts. They are black, white, and yellow of all races. Even harsh civil rights organizations cannot find faults.
Generally speaking, when you return to China or to areas with good security such as Hong Kong and Japan, it is enough to use one group of bodyguards, and the others will take turns for training and vacation.
If you go to Chicago or Brooklyn, New York, then three shifts of bodyguards will be dispatched to be on high alert.
Wang Yaocheng himself is tall, and the bodyguards he recruits must not be less than 1.83 meters. Otherwise, it would be great fun for him to show his head when everyone is walking together.
The killer can shoot the head from a distance with a high-precision sniper rifle, causing the watermelon to explode.
These two black bodyguards are qualified human shields. They block wherever they stand like a door, which is especially suitable for public places with many people.
VIP area
Mr. Sun Zhenyi, the CEO of SoftBank Group, personally came to greet him. Seeing the dizzying altitude of this line, he couldn't help but be hit by 10,000 points.
This makes Son, who is less than 1.5 meters tall, so embarrassed that he has to look up to him!
"Wang Sang, you have worked hard all the way."
"thank you!"
Sun Zhenyi bowed in accordance with Japanese etiquette, forcing Wang Yaocheng to bend down to help, well... it wasn't enough, he had to squat down with his legs.
I'm really tired and panicked.
"This gentleman is Kono Yosuke, the general manager of Mitsubishi Bank in Tokyo, Sato Hidenaka, the president of the Development Bank of Japan, and Nobu Muto, the president of Osaka Commercial Bank. Knowing that Wang Sang came all the way from the United States, they came here to greet him.
"Ah, I'm really troubling you." Wang Yaocheng looked very surprised, with an exaggerated expression.
"Yes, Wang Sang is our distinguished guest from Yamato. We admire you for the great things you have done in the United States. It is our honor to have the opportunity to communicate with Wang Sang."
"Mr. President, you are too polite. How about we walk and talk?"
The group of people exchanged pleasantries and left along the special passage.
They walked together, half of the team were made up of tall people, and half of the team were made up of short people, looking very happy.
Somewhere in Kangaikawa Town
In an elegant Japanese-style garden hotel, to the melodious beats of silk strings, the "Wild Wolf Kabuki" on the stage shows her enchanting figure, singing and dancing in time with the rhythm.
Their faces are covered with thick white powder, their red lips are bright and small, they wear traditional gorgeous kimonos, they hold gold-painting and fans in their hands, and their eyes are full of charm.
This is not a traditional geisha, but a "wild wolf kabuki performer", a man disguised as a woman.
at the table
The distinguished guests sat cross-legged on a rush-woven Japanese mat, with a long table in the middle covered with a light-colored brocade striped tablecloth.
Sun Zhenyi and several bankers watched in ecstasy, tapping the beat with their hands from time to time. Wang Yaocheng glanced at Qi Yafei beside him, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
I'm really not interested in this kind of heavy-flavored entertainment. The pace is so slow that it's boring, and I really lack interest.
This time when I came to Fuso Country, in addition to signing relevant contracts with SoftBank, I also had to facilitate a Japanese yen syndicated loan, so I had no choice but to endure it.
Little Mr. Montgomery felt the same way. He drank the tasteless sake and his mind had already gone somewhere.
The maid serves exquisite Japanese food, and each bowl and bowl of black pottery and lacquerware are like works of art. They hold food with rich colors and layers, bringing a wonderful enjoyment that makes people unable to bear to eat.
This is Kaiseki cuisine inherited from the Muromachi period. It has a history of more than 400 years and is the most authentic cooking in Japanese cuisine.
Kaiseki cuisine requires fresh and delicious ingredients, exquisite cutting and artistic presentation, and pays attention to the unity and harmony of "color, aroma, taste, and utensils". It not only values taste enjoyment, but also visual enjoyment.
Wang Yaocheng drank two glasses of sake absent-mindedly. Qi Fiya beside him couldn't hold it in any longer. "Damn, these little devils must have done it on purpose. What the hell are they babbling and singing? It's really annoying to hear them."
He said it in Chinese, and only Wang Yaocheng here could understand it: "Don't we miss his money? Just bear with it, the little devil has such a dull temper, and the taste is too strong."
"Haha, I think so." Qifiya chuckled.
Sun Zhenyi, who was sitting opposite, thought he saw the fun in it, and gave him a look that could only be understood but not explained, which made Lao Qi feel chills.
After finally ending the boring banquet and taking a short break, the three parties began the formal interview.
In fact, the general framework of the cooperation has been set. The Hong Kong listed company that is planning to invest in the joint venture has liquidated its assets, and both teams have reached an agreement, including the price. This time, the bosses behind the scenes of both parties will meet and go through the motions to promote the relationship.
Cooperation is based on interests, and after all, it has to be a formality.
Soon, the interview ended.
The Japanese side arranged a formal contract signing and exchange of letters ceremony, which was reported live by the Tokyo Metropolitan News Network. There was an atmosphere of hello, me, and everyone, including a media briefing as it should be.
SoftBank and Royal Capital have established a corporate strategic partnership and reached a preliminary cooperation intention on the Yahoo Japan joint venture. The two parties will conduct deeper corporate cooperation.
As a strategic investor, SoftBank invested US$1.1 billion in 9% of Cathay Pacific Airways, 12% of HAECO, and 11% of Swire Pacific, ranking third, second, and third largest shareholders respectively. The two parties signed a cooperation agreement.
On average, SoftBank holds slightly more than 10% of the equity of the three listed companies.
Why is the price so high?
At the beginning, Wang's consortium strongly persuaded the British-owned Swire Group to acquire more than 30% of the shares at a bargain price of HK$5.2 billion (US$666 million), which increased fivefold in a few months.
At the beginning, Wang's consortium invested a large amount of money to attack the capital market and could kill the British-owned Swire Group at any time. During the negotiations, President Mo Yuxuan severely cut the shrinking assets in the middle.
Today, the situation is calm and the stock prices of the three listed companies have returned to their original levels.
Based on actual value estimates, coupled with PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm's calculations in accordance with internationally accepted rules, there will be a certain premium for companies with bright prospects.
After more than two months of negotiations, the negotiation teams of both parties finally arrived at a price that satisfied both parties.
As for wanting to take advantage of the royal family's funds, it was absolutely impossible. Wang Yaocheng was the first to refuse.
On the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Royal Fund has gradually released some of its bargaining chips in three listed companies, as long as it maintains its absolute controlling stake.
The introduction of strategic partners this time is also to obtain huge amounts of cash.
At present, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has withdrawn more than HK$6 billion of funds through market means. The shareholding reduction has temporarily come to an end, and it has gradually invested in Nokia shares through other channels.
On the bright side, Royal Fund holds 7.6% of Nokia shares, and its value has soared to US$2.6 billion. Compared with the beginning of the year, it has increased by 62%. The market outlook is still strong.
Nokia's shares are listed on five stock exchanges including Helsinki, New York, London, Paris and Frankfurt, leaving a lot of room for manipulation by royal funds.
The Royal Fund subsequently invested another US$500 million (HK$3.9 billion), mainly in the London and Helsinki exchanges, divided into dozens of different accounts, holding a total of 1.82% of Nokia's shares, and has now earned 21%.
At this point, the large-scale accumulation of Nokia shares has come to an end, with a market value of US$3.23 billion, and the market outlook is still bright.
As for Carrefour Supermarket and Pacific Home Appliances Mall, due to the rapid expansion stage, asset verification is more complicated. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not yet completed the issuance of the audit report and can only wait for the second step of cooperation planning to be completed.
In fact, it was Wang Yaocheng who did not want the brats to take advantage and instructed President Mo Yuxuan to deliberately delay the corresponding work.
Many newly opened Carrefour hypermarkets have not been open for more than half a year, and some are even shorter. What can the sales volume in just a few months mean?
Assets will inevitably be underestimated. How can someone as smart as Wang Yaocheng be willing to suffer losses?
A Japanese banking consortium, led by Mitsubishi Bank, granted the Royal Family Fund a 25 billion yen (US$2.3 billion) syndicated credit line, and the two parties signed an agreement text on this.
Banks undoubtedly welcome high-quality customers, especially powerful and large customers like Royal Family Fund.
As a strategic partner, HSBC participated in the entire merger and acquisition of Wang An Computer Company. After earning a large amount of M&A consulting fees, it also issued a large amount of US dollar loans to support the M&A, which allowed it to make another steady profit.
This is the benefit of strong cooperation. Banks need high-quality big customers, absorb large deposits, and support large-amount loans to enterprises to earn interest spreads. No matter how you look at it, you can make a lot of money.
At this point, the needs of major Japanese banks are even more urgent.
Especially for the big Japanese banks in trouble, when the deposit interest rate is infinitely close to zero, Fuso people are still willing to deposit large sums of money in the bank, and the deposit limit continues to increase.
What is distressing is that banks have large deposits, but companies are not willing to lend money to start construction.
This is because with the bursting of the economic bubble, domestic corporate investment in Fuso has been extremely sluggish. No one is willing to spend money on equipment investment and infrastructure construction. Opening up overseas markets does not happen overnight. If you have money, you can simply deposit it in the bank.
loan?
Strong companies don't want loans, weak companies want loans, but banks are unwilling to lend.
Every year, the top ten major Japanese banks write down assets of 7.5 trillion yen for bad debts, and new bad debts average 7.9 trillion yen per year. Risks are still accumulating.
Therefore, the big Japanese banks may look good on the surface, but they actually know they are suffering in their hearts.
Strong big customers like the Royal Family Fund are the favorites of banks. There is no need to worry about running out of money to repay, and they will naturally be included in the ranks of high-quality big customers.
The bank's assessment standards are rigorous and fully digital, including the proportion of high-quality loans, the proportion of non-performing loans, the bad debt ratio, etc. High-quality large customers such as Royal Fund can increase the proportion of high-quality loans and reduce the bad debt ratio accordingly.
Stable interest income can be obtained.
With SoftBank as the matchmaker, cooperation between the two parties is naturally a matter of course.
After finishing all this, it was already five days later. Wang Yaocheng and his party returned to Los Angeles with full harvest and new challenges waiting for him.
