506, officially begins the battle to acquire Yomiuri
Japan, Tokyo, Shibuya District, Chu Huan Villa.
Not only is Chu Huan here, but Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao are also here.
The two first returned to Xiangjiang in Japan to spend the Chinese New Year in Xiangjiang, and then came to Tokyo with Chu Huan to continue Cao Yunshang's career.
During this period, and even in the next 20 years, it can be said that Japan led the trend in Asia, and Ginza in Tokyo was its weathervane.
Just like Causeway Bay means the same to Hong Kong.
So after Cao Yunshang acquired Printemps Department Store in France, he thought about building a new Printemps Department Store in Ginza, Tokyo.
"Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has probably approved your acquisition application, right?"
Chu Huan sat cross-legged on the warm wooden floor, with steaming tea in front of him and a glass of frosty Coke. The hot tea belonged to Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao, and the ice Coke belonged to Chu Huan.
After setting his goal in Ginza, Tokyo, Cao Yunshang began to look for a suitable store with Zhu Xiaozhao. When he found it, he did not expect that this store actually belonged to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.
"I've agreed, but Yoshiaki Tsutsumi still wants to take a stake, rather than simply selling the store to us!"
Cao Yunshang said helplessly.
Tokyo’s housing prices exceeded the increase in another time and space. In another time and space, Tokyo’s housing prices would not have doubled compared to when Chu Huan was planning his real estate business in Japan until 1980. However, as Chu Huan and Di
After Yiming cooperated with Haiyun Real Estate and Guo Bingxiang and others, Huayun Real Estate invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Tokyo. Now, the house prices in Tokyo have doubled.
The power of real estate speculators is evident.
But this also made Yoshiaki Tsutsumi discover the benefits of cooperating with Chu Huan, which is really making money.
So when Chu Huan's wife Cao Yunshang was preparing to build a new Spring Department Store in Ginza, Tokyo, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi immediately discovered the business opportunities. He wanted to cooperate with Cao Yunshang instead of simply selling the land to Cao Yunshang.
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and said, "If he can accept 10 shares, then he can be allowed to invest. If it is more, there is no need!"
Although Yoshiaki Tsutsumi will definitely lose in the future, it is undeniable that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's influence in Japan will be sufficient in the next ten years, so there is nothing wrong with cooperating with him at this stage.
"But his piece of land must be worth more than this!"
Cao Yunshang preached to Chu Huan.
"We can compensate you in cash for the extra part, but 10 shares is the limit!"
Chu Huan preached firmly.
Spring Department Store is a joint venture between Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang. The two of them have no plans to go public, so Chu Huan is not worried that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's affairs will affect the stock price of Spring Department Store in the future. Of course, he will give up 10% of his shares.
What's more, Chu Huan valued Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's current influence in Japan.
Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "Then I understand. Xiao Zhao and I will negotiate with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki on this matter."
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "But don't take it too seriously. If Tsutsumi Yoshiaki refuses to sell it, then find another place!"
After more than half a year of development, Chu Huan now has more cash than many people imagined. In a nutshell, he has money!
In addition, now, Chu Huan actually does not need Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's influence in Japan that much, because the efforts of Ma Jizu, Tanaka Yashui, and Hanaoka Nanao have begun to bear fruit.
Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao nodded.
"How is the situation with Yunhai Chain?"
Chu Huan asked Zhu Xiaozhao.
Zhu Xiaozhao showed a proud smile and said, "The task of laying out 4,000 stores in Japan has been initially completed. At the same time, the logistics system and warehousing services in Japan have also been completed. From now on, we will
The expansion speed will slow down, and we only need to hand over the management of the company to the branch in Japan!"
4,000 stores are naturally far behind 7-Eleven's stores at its peak in Japan. However, it took 7-11 decades to complete 7-Eleven stores, while Yunhai chain only took
It took nearly two years to complete the expansion of 4,000 stores, which is already a very remarkable thing.
In fact, the most difficult thing about opening a store is not simply buying the store, decorating it, distributing goods, etc., but training the store staff.
Today, the entire Yunhai chain has a total of 4,500 stores in Japan and Hong Kong, which can provide the company with an annual profit of 20.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, not counting the increase in land prices.
Chu Huan said, "From now on, the development of Yunhai Chain in Japan will not only involve the expansion of convenience stores. At the same time, supermarkets and department stores can also develop simultaneously. In addition, Watsons' distilled water can also be included in Yunhai Chain.
"
At this time, Yunhai Chain Store was no longer a simple retail company.
It's a large consortium.
It no longer only owns the Yunhai chain brand.
After reform, Watsons, Watsons Distilled Water, Parknshop Supermarket in Xiangjiang, Hua Department Store, Dah Hsin Department Store, as well as Yunhai Logistics and Yunhai Warehousing are all subsidiaries of Yunhai Chain.
If Zhu Xiaozhao had not supported the management team in advance, Zhu Xiaozhao and Li Tianying would not have been able to manage such a huge consortium.
"I plan to transfer a group of people over to Xiangjiang to learn the business model of Japanese supermarkets and department stores. After these people have learned a lot, they will start to expand the department stores and supermarkets.
.”
I wish Xiaozhao can preach confidently.
It is undeniable that at this stage, Japan’s retail industry is the ceiling of the world.
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "No problem, but now that the company has plenty of money, it doesn't necessarily have to open stores one by one like the previous Yunhai chain. It can also try to acquire some Japanese department stores.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "Okay, I will let the people below investigate this matter!"
Then came some detailed discussions, such as Yunhai Logistics. At this time, Yunhai Logistics in Japan only served one company in the Yunhai chain, and the same was true for Yunhai Warehousing. In the eyes of Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao, this was a waste of resources.
, they should be allowed to have their own hematopoietic capabilities, so after discussion, they decided that these two companies should seek more partners.
Let them not only serve Yunhai Chain Company.
After the discussion, Chu Huan saw that it was getting dark, took a sip of the Coke on the table, stood up and said, "Okay, you two rest at home, I'm going to meet a few people!"
Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao both understood that Chu Huan came to Tokyo this time for the Yomiuri News, so they didn't ask too many questions.
But in fact, Chu Huan did not go to meet with Kiichiro Kitaura of Nomura Securities who was responsible for this matter, but met with Kentaro Nishitani at the Palace Club.
Also present were **.
"Congratulations to both of you, you are now celebrities in Japan!"
After meeting Kentaro Nishitani and ** at the Palace Club, Chu Huan smiled and congratulated.
After nearly a year of development, Nishitani Kentaro and ** used the Palace Club as a stronghold to make extensive contacts with Japanese political and business celebrities. Now they have officially entered this circle and become part of it.
Kentaro Nishitani seemed a little excited. He would have never dared to think of such a situation more than a year ago, but now he looks at the friends he has made around him. They are either Japanese billionaires or senior political officials, and even more so among them.
Several congressmen are brothers, and now he has become a rising business star in Japan.
**The situation seems a bit more low-key.
Externally, the boss at this time was the owner of the largest pachinko shop in Tokyo. He had the support of two Liberal Democratic Party members, Zaizen Goro and Higashi Sadazou. At the same time, he had a close relationship with the leaders of several major associations in Tokyo.
It seems to have become a new force in Tokyo!
But because of his personal status, he took a low-key route.
As for the relationship between ** and Kentaro Nishitani, outsiders don't have much doubt. In the past nearly a year, the two have appeared together on the same occasion many times. Everyone in Tokyo who knows them at the same time knows that they are
Very good friends.
At the same time, on the surface, Kentaro Nishitani also has a stake in the popular Pachinko store.
"All of this was given to me by Chu Sang, and I will never forget it!"
Kentaro Nishitani stood up and respectfully addressed Chu Huan.
Chu Huan was very satisfied with Kentaro Nishitani's attitude and said with a smile, "Don't be so formal. He has been with me for a long time. He knows me. As long as he works for me seriously, he doesn't need to be so cautious."
So many false gifts.”
The ** five-person group are the people who have been with Chu Huan the longest after Lin Feng's five-person group, so Chu Huan is not wrong in saying that ** has been with him for a long time.
"Hi!"
Kentaro Nishitani bowed again.
"Now that you two have gained fame and money, the next thing to do is to officially take over the Yomiuri Shimbun affairs."
Chu Huan preached to the two of them.
It would definitely not be Chu Huan who took over the Yomiuri Shimbun matter. If it were Chu Huan, the Japanese government would not agree.
The only shortcoming of this matter is actually that Kiichiro Kitaura and Tetsuo Okumura of Nomura Securities had been working on Chu Huan’s acquisition of Yomiuri News. Now if Chu Huan acquires Yomiuri News
Leave it to Kentaro Nishitani. Based on their abilities and minds, he will definitely be able to think of a relationship between himself and them.
So how to let these two people keep this secret perfectly, for Chu Huan, is the most important part of acquiring the Yomiuri Shimbun.
Previously, Chu Huan promised to give the two of them 20 million US dollars and 10 million US dollars in remuneration. In fact, there was a reason for keeping silent.
But only generous gifts are not enough to make Chu Huan feel completely at ease with these two people.
So some things still need to be done.
Kentaro Nishitani's expression became more and more excited. As a Japanese, he naturally knew what the Yomiuri Shimbun meant in Japan. Although this was a company with a market value that did not appear to be that high, its influence was very huge.
If you can become the apparent controller of the Yomiuri Shimbun, your status in Japan will immediately improve, and you can even become someone like Shouri Matsutaro in the future, with a very high status in Japan's political and business circles.
"Chu-san, through my contact with Eitaro Itoyama during this period, I have clearly learned from his mouth that this man is very dissatisfied with the Yomiuri Shimbun and has even begun to negotiate with his father to acquire Yomiuri land.
Something happened!”
Kentaro Nishitani preached to Chu Huan.
When Kentaro Nishitani appeared at the Palace Club, he wanted to become 'friends' with Eitaro Itoyama.
Judging from the current situation, Kentaro Nishitani's plan was successful. Now the two have become very good friends and often meet up to sit together.
Chu Huan encouraged, "Yes, you did a good job. What you have to do next is to inadvertently reveal to Eitaro Itoyama what I told you before."
If Chu Huan hadn't appeared, Eitaro Itoyama would officially join forces with his father Shintaro Sasagi to launch the acquisition of Yomiuri next year. The whole thing lasted until 1983, and Yomiuri could only choose to lose money and avoid disaster in the end.
The acquisition of Yomiuri by Eitaro Itoyama was resolved this time.
Kentaro Nishitani nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happened that Eitaro Iyama made an appointment with me to play golf together tomorrow. I will reveal the news to him then."
Chu Huan frowned slightly. Because of his appearance, it was naturally impossible for Chu Huan to let Eitaro Itoyama, a Japanese stock market sniper, launch an acquisition of Yomiuri.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, it is still possible to use Eitaro Itoyama's influence in Japan to launch a formal first acquisition of Yomiuri.
This is the strategy that Chu Huan had already decided on last year.
As for how to fight this first battle, it was naturally placed on the founder of Yomiuri Shouri Matsutaro. Although this man had passed away, Chu Huan did not mind bringing him out again for whipping.
As for the sense of morality, Chu Huan would not feel any moral guilt when dealing with people like Shouri Matsutaro who committed serious crimes, and would even sleep happily.
Chu Huan said to ** again, "How is the contact with the headquarters?"
What Kentaro Nishitani wants to do is to attack openly, and the person responsible for the attack is naturally the secret attack. Even a group like Yomiuri will inevitably be plundered by Japan's characteristic club house, so **
All you have to do is contact the Yomiuri General Office and purchase Yomiuri Land shares from them.
** nodded and said, "There has been progress, they are willing to sell their Yomiuri Land shares to us!"
The most difficult thing for ** to do is actually not to buy the Yomiuri Land stocks held by the Yomiuri Land Association, because these people themselves do this for money, as long as ** can use it to make money
If they are satisfied with the funds, then these people will definitely be willing to sell their Yomiuri Land stocks.
The real difficulty is to get in touch with the people at the headquarters, and at the same time, during this exercise, ensure that these people will not betray the matter to Chozaburo Sekine, the current president of Yomiuri Land.
So it took ** a long time to become friends with these people and then start the subsequent acquisition negotiations.
As of now, Chu Huan is very satisfied with the development of the whole thing, and all the news he has heard so far is good news.
"I think things won't develop so smoothly. There should be some bad news. Please tell me!"
Chu Huan understood that this kind of thing couldn't all be good news.
Sure enough, after Chu Huan's inquiry ended, Kentaro Nishitani and ** looked at each other, and finally it was ** who gave the lecture.
"After our investigation, we found that although Shouri Matsutaro has passed away, the political resources he left behind are still there. If the takeover war officially starts, it is difficult to guarantee that the original political resources Shouri Matsutaro left for Yomiuri will not be lost.
Action!"
Chu Huan nodded with an unchanging expression. Shouri Matsutaro became a Japanese congressman later in his life. Although he did not go very far in politics in the end, the political resources he left behind were definitely not those he had just laid out in Japan for two or three years.
Chu Huan can compare.
At the same time, as the highest-selling newspaper in Japan, the Yomiuri Shimbun must have its own congressmen and Liberal Democratic Party factions that cooperate with it, and they will not easily let the Yomiuri Shimbun change its owners.
“Who is the biggest supporter behind Yomiuri?”
Chu Huan asked.
“It’s Mitsuta Ishikura who is currently in the Liberal Democratic Party’s ‘Ten-Day Council’.”
Kentaro Nishitani replied.
Japan’s political system is somewhat complicated. Although the Liberal Democratic Party is the largest party in Japan, this party was actually established not very long ago. It was founded in 1955 by Yoshida, who was both in the conservative camp but opposed to each other.
Shigeru and Ichiro Hatoyama announced their joint founding of the party, and the Liberal Democratic Party was born.
This is historically known as a "conservative contract".
Within the Liberal Democratic Party, there were four major factions at that time, including Shigeru Yoshida, who represented the postwar Japanese chaebols, Ichiro Hatoyama, who represented the prewar Japanese bureaucracy, and Ichiro Kono and Takeyoshi Miki, who represented those who had not been liquidated.
At that time, the faction represented by Shigeru Yoshida was the largest faction in the Liberal Democratic Party, so the other three factions were also called the "anti-Yoshida faction."
The Hatoyama School represented by Ichiro Hatoyama later changed its name to the Tokakaikai!
By the way, the grandfather of the former Japanese boss who was defeated was the first president of the Ten Days Society!
"The energy seems to be quite large!" Chu Huan said seriously.
The reason why Chu Huan said this is because the current Prime Minister of Japan, Hideo Fukuda, is also nominally the president of the Ten-Day Society.
Kentaro Nishitani, ** and the others naturally know more about the stakes involved.
Seeing that the two of them were a little dull, Chu Huan patted the sofa where they were sitting and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. If this thing can be done so easily, it would seem unreal. What's more, the other party is only a member of the Ten Days Club.
But it’s not Fukuda Hideo.”
The two nodded, and the boss said with some self-blame, "Boss, it's our fault that we didn't develop our relationship network in Japan better."
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It has only been less than two years. It is already quite good for you to have achieved what you have now. There is no need to set too high demands on yourself."
After explaining the matter clearly, Chu Huan also knew the situation he was facing in Japan. All that was left to do was to build mountains and bridges to reach the end.
Kentaro Nishitani, ** After the two left the private room where Chu Huan was with mixed feelings, Tanaka Yasui walked in.
Seeing Chu Huan sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating, he quietly walked behind Chu Huan and gently massaged Chu Huan's temples.
Chu Huan did not open his eyes, but asked aloud, "Is Gao Kai here?"
In Japan's layout, Chu Huan is multi-faceted. Among them are Tanaka Yasuke, Hanaoka Nanakura, Nishitani Kentaro, ** and others who are the hidden ones, as well as Haiyun Real Estate and Huahai Real Estate on the bright side. However,
Among them, there is another hidden thread, that is Gao Kai.
Tanaka Anhui said softly, "He's already here, and he's waiting in the private room next door for you to ask him to come in!"
Chu Huan opened his eyes, adjusted his sitting posture, and said with a smile, "Call him in!"
Tanaka Anhui asked, "Don't you need to take a break?"
Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter!"
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Tanaka Anhui turned and left the private room. After a while, Gao Kai walked in alone.
"What's going on at Zhongzengen Kanghong this year?" Chu Huan asked Gao Kai directly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhong Zenggen Kanghong is Chu Huan’s most important layout in Japan, and it is also Chu Huan’s most important political investment in Japan. There is no way to stop it
His situation is the most suitable.
Gao Kai sat opposite Chu Huan and said directly without any nonsense, "His current situation is very bad. Since Takeo Miki stepped down at the end of last year, he fled Tokyo directly like a rat crossing the street. Not many people know about it now."
Where exactly is he?"
Chu Huan smiled easily and asked, "What about you?"
Gao Kai smiled reservedly and said, "We are the few people who know where he is."
Yasuhiro Nakamasone, who was affected by the Lockheed incident, officially reached the lowest point in his life with the resignation of Takeo Miki. In order to avoid being implicated, Yasuhiro Nakamasone stayed away from the political center of Tokyo. Now it can be said that
This was the lowest point in his political career.
Chu Huan did not ask where Zhongzengen Kanghong was hiding and licking his wounds, because it was not important to Chu Huan at all.
What's important
"Where is Zhongzengen Hongwen?"
"Same as his father, although he has not left Tokyo, he is now very honest in the company. Except for a few familiar friends, he does not see anyone else!"
Gao Kai introduced.
"Are you among these familiar friends?" Chu Huan asked.
Gao Kai said proudly, "Yes!"
Although he didn't understand why Chu Huan was so optimistic about Nakasone and his son, Gao Kai understood that it was good that he could perfectly complete the tasks assigned by Chu Huan and continue to interact with Nakasone Hongbun.
Chu Huan leaned on the sofa and said, "So, I'm going to make my debut in Tokyo too!"
Chu Huan initially met Zhongzengen Hongwen through Gao Kai, hoping to establish a preliminary relationship with his father Zhongzengen Kanghong through Zhongzengen Hongwen.
But at that time, Zhongzengen Kanghong had not yet entered the darkest period of his political career, and he still thought that he might be able to escape unscathed from this political storm.
So when he had a choice, Zhongzengen Kanghong chose to compete with Chu Huan for endurance and did not make an appointment with Chu Huan in the first place.
After Chu Huan also guessed Zhong Zenggen Kanghong's thoughts, he finished the affairs in Japan and left Japan directly.
This made Nakasone and his son very confused.
The situation is different now. At this time, Zhongzengen Kanghong can be said to have entered the darkest period in his political career. All his former supporters have left him.
He has no choice anymore.
Gao Kai asked, "Boss, do you want me to help you make an appointment with Zhong Zenggen Hongwen? In fact, during this period of time, he has approached me many times, and has also mentioned in a subtle way that he wants to meet you, boss."
A one-sided matter."
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "No, if we take the initiative to contact them through you, they will still think that we are pursuing them. This time I want to see if Zhongzengen Kanghong still has such good patience!"
Then Chu Huan said to Gao Kai, "You should first tell me about your situation in Japan in the past year!"
"yes!"
Afterwards, Gao Kai began to introduce Chu Huan to the situation in Japan and his achievements during this period.
Gao Kai is not alone in Japan, he also has a team in his hands, but Gao Kai is currently mainly responsible for Nakasone and his sons.
The rest of the people also have their own tasks.
Gao Kai's team alone spends more than 30 million US dollars in Japan every year!
After listening to Gao Kai talk about his team's situation in Japan in the past year, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning.
"I know everything, and I've done a good job!" Chu Huan was very satisfied with the results achieved by Gao Kai and others in more than a year.
I believe that as long as he persists like this for a few more years, when he enters the 1980s, it will be the time for Chu Huan to truly show his influence in Japan.
After Gao Kai left, Tanaka Anhui walked in again, looked at Chu Huan hopefully, and asked, "Would you like to go to my place and have a good rest!"
Tanaka Anhui knew that Cao Yunshang was in Tokyo, so he could only ask Chu Huan if he was going to where he was.
Chu Huan stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Tanaka Anhui immediately smiled and said, "Hanaoka has already cleaned up at home. I believe you will be very happy after seeing you!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I'm very happy to see you two."
On the way from the Palace Club to Tanaka Anhui's home, Chu Huan said to Tanaka Anhui, "I will hold a grand prty at the Palace Club tomorrow, please make arrangements!"
Tanaka Yashui asked, "Who are you planning to invite?"
"Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Ichiro Isoda, Kosuke Nozaki, Kiichiro Kitaura and Tetsuo Okumura, they are five!"
If you want Zhongzengen Hongwen to take the initiative to contact Chu Huan, it is important to let him know that Chu Huan has arrived in Tokyo.
Tanaka Anhui said, "No problem, I will personally arrange this matter tomorrow!"
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I'm relieved about this!"
Soon, the two came to Tanaka Anhui's residence. As the apparent owner of the Palace Club, Tanaka Anhui's residence was naturally not the previous residence, but a low-key and luxurious villa.
When Chu Huan and Tanaka Anhui walked into the living room, they already saw Hanaoka Nanakura, who was kneeling there waiting for Chu Huan!
