Osaka is located in western Japan and is the central city there. In addition to the headquarters of Sumitomo Foundation, Panasonic's headquarters is also located in Osaka.
Of course, compared to these, what is most familiar to manga fans in Osaka is that there is a Toyotama Middle School basketball team here, which is good at playing offensive basketball. The ace of the team swollen Rukawa Kaede's eye.
When Chu Huan got off the plane here, he saw a girl holding a sign with her name written on it.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chu Huan from Xiangjiang?"
After the girl saw Chu Huan and his group coming out of the airport, they just checked for a moment and then stepped forward to say hello!
"I am, you are?"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
The girl quickly put away the name tag in her hand, then bowed and said: "Hello, I am Saori Ito, and I am here to welcome Chu Sang on behalf of Mr. Hota Shozo!"
Chu Huan raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Then lead the way!"
In addition to Ito Saori, there were actually people from Japan's Kaku Osaka office who came to pick up Chu Huan, mainly to provide Chu Huan and his party with a car and a place to stay.
The Japanese Jiaku people communicated with Qin Peng, and then left early under Chu Huan's order.
"Lead the way!"
Chu Huan preached to Ito Saori. Ito Saori also brought a motorcade, but Chu Huan preferred to take his own company's car.
The two convoys left the airport and, led by Saori Ito, arrived at the suburbs of Osaka, where there was a manor secluded in nature, and this was Shozo Hota's residence in Osaka.
These top wealthy people in Japan seem to be very fond of this pastoral style manor.
After the motorcade stopped in the parking lot, as soon as Chu Huan got off the car, he saw Shozo Hota in kimono standing here to greet Chu Huan.
"Chu-san, you are very welcome!" The 79-year-old Hota Shozo was no longer as energetic as the last time Chu Huan saw him. He was supported by a young girl also wearing a kimono and holding a cane in his hand.
"Mr. Hotta is too kind!"
Chu Huan stepped forward and shook hands.
Shozo Hota smiled and said: "Chu-san is our most precious customer at Sumitomo Bank. This is what we should do!"
Standing next to Hota Shozo, Ichiro Isoda also smiled and said: "Let's go to the reception room to chat!"
Chu Huan nodded.
The group of people came to the reception room of Horidaso San Manor, where there was still a young and beautiful girl in a kimono making tea.
Counting this one, Chu Huan has already seen three such girls around Hota Shozo.
After Chu Huan, Hota Shozo and Isoda Ichiro sat down, Hota Shozo said straight to the point: "Listen to Isoda Ichiro, Director Chu wants to invest in our Sumitomo Bank?"
Seeing that Hota Shozo said it simply, Chu Huan did not go around in circles and said with a smile: "Yes, I do have this idea. Sumitomo Bank is one of the most powerful banks in Japan. If we can buy a stake in Sumitomo Bank, then
It will be of better help to my business in Japan!"
Hotadazou Sanwei made a slight debit and said: "Chu Sang is a world-renowned entrepreneur. If he can become a shareholder of our Sumitomo Bank, it will indeed bring a lot of benefits to our Sumitomo Bank, but can this benefit bring us
To achieve tangible benefits, this is not necessarily the case!”
Obviously, Hota Shozo is telling Chu Huan that they are open to Chu Huan's ability to invest in Sumitomo Bank, but at the same time, the share exchange of Alde Commercial Bank Japan Branch that Chu Huan mentioned before is definitely not enough.
.
Faced with Hota Shozo's statement, Chu Huan could understand it and asked: "I wonder if Mr. Hota has any good suggestions?"
This time Shozo Hota did not answer Chu Huan, but Ichiro Isoda asked Chu Huan: "Chu-san, Alde Commercial Bank has received approval from the Financial Services Agency, can it enter Japan's banking industry?"
In 1968, Japan had liberalized the review of foreign banks entering the Japanese financial market, as long as they could obtain instructions from the Japan Financial Services Agency. In terms of business, there were still some differences between foreign banks and Japan's local banks.
of.
The biggest difference is that foreign banks do not have the right to issue certificates of deposit (CDs) in Japan. This has caused foreign banks to complain that they do not have the right to compete fairly with local banks in Japan.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "With the approval of the Japan Financial Services Agency, Alde Commercial Bank will officially open in Japan in May this year!"
Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Although Japan has opened up the review for foreign banks to enter Japan, this does not mean that all types of banks can enter Japan's financial market.
First of all, such banks need to have strong strength in their own country, and secondly, they must have certain government relations in Japan to enter the balance sheet financial market.
The combination of Chu Huan, a Xiangjiang businessman, and Alder Commercial Bank, a commercial bank headquartered in North America, can now officially enter the Japanese financial market.
Such a combination is surprising no matter how you look at it. Obviously, neither Horida Shozo nor Isoda Ichiro expected that Chu Huan would have such influence, so that the top brass in North America and Japan gave the green light to this matter.
.
"Chu Sang, worthy of being a world-class rich man, was able to let Alde Commercial Bank enter Japan's financial market so smoothly, and none of us have heard of it!"
Horida Shozo sighed.
As one of the most powerful commercial banks in Japan, Sumitomo Bank is also very sensitive to changes in Japan's financial market.
Now Alde Commercial Bank can obtain the approval from the Financial Services Agency so quietly and be allowed to enter Japan's financial market. This was something Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda never expected.
They originally wanted to use this matter as a bargaining chip for them!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now it seems that this bargaining chip obviously does not exist.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "It just happened to happen. You two don't need to over-guess!"
Haha, if they don't over-guess this kind of thing, then there really isn't anything that they need to guess about.
In any case, it is certain that Chu Huan has certain government background in both North America and Japan.
This not only reduces the chips in their hands, but also increases their vigilance.
"Although Alde Commercial Bank can enter Japan, according to Japan's financial system, even if Alde Commercial Bank enters Japan's financial market, because it cannot counter large deposit certificates, its business in Japan will definitely be affected.
limited!"
Ichiro Isoda acted as the main force in the negotiations today.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "This matter can be put aside for the time being. Why don't you Mr. Hota and Mr. Isoda talk about your conditions first?"
Ichiro Isoda and Shozo Horida looked at each other again. Chu Huan actually wanted to put this matter aside first. Was this because he wanted to retreat temporarily or to have a back-up plan?
But now that Chu Huan has said this, the two of them don't have too many entanglements. Ichiro Isoda continued: "Since Chu Sang has said this, let's get straight to the point.
A single share of the Alde Commercial Bank Japan Branch is not enough. We at Sumitomo Bank hope to acquire part of the shares of the Alde Commercial Bank Head Office, Xiangjiang Zhulu Real Estate, and North American Ford Motors, and use them to exchange Sumitomo Bank's shares with Chairman Chu.
Shares!”
What a lion!
After listening to Ichiro Isoda's conditions, Chu Huan immediately made an evaluation in his heart.
However, it was now confirmed that Chu Huan’s previous analysis was correct. What the other party really wanted was the shares of Ford Motor Company of North America!
As for the shares of Alde Commercial Bank Head Office and Xiangjiang Zhulu Real Estate, they are all to demonstrate the importance of Sumitomo Bank.
Among the corporate members of the Sumitomo Consortium, there is Mazda Motors. If the Sumitomo Consortium can obtain shares in Ford Motor Company of North America, it can start negotiations with the Ford family and even gain support from part of Ford's sales network in North America.
.
In this way, Mazda cars can successfully enter the North American market, and then use the North American market to enter the European market.
It can even curb South Korea's Hyundai Motor and their competition in the Asian market to a certain extent.
But Chu Huan has said before that this is a big deal. Sumitomo Bank's current market value is less than two-thirds of Ford Motor Company, but it wants to obtain part of his Ford Motor shares through Chu Huan's request for a share purchase.
.
Moreover, the shares of Alde Commercial Bank Head Office and Zhulu Real Estate are also included.
Having shares in Alder Commercial Bank will help Sumitomo Bank expand their business in North America. At the same time, because Japan and Hong Kong have a lot of business cooperation, it can be said that the two sides understand each other's situation relatively well.
Sumitomo Bank naturally knows the status of Zhulu Real Estate in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. In addition, news about Xiangjiang's liberalization of the review of foreign banks' entry is already flying everywhere. If Sumitomo Bank can obtain Zhulu Real Estate's shares.
It is obvious that they can successfully enter Hong Kong's financial market.
Achieving multiple gains with one stone.
Although they do not hold too many shares in these three companies, as long as they enter, it is a victory for them.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Hota, Mr. Isoda is indeed a shrewd businessman in Japan, and he is really thoughtful, but this request is really unfair to me, and I cannot accept it!"
Hota Sozo laughed and said: "Negotiation? Of course you come and I go back and forth. We have just talked about our conditions, and now Director Chu can talk about his own conditions!"
Ichiro Isoda also said: "Yes, I think seeking common ground while reserving differences is the greatest sincerity in our cooperation."
Neither of them wanted to give up this cooperation with Chu Huan. Although Sumitomo Bank or the Sumitomo Foundation also had a certain degree of influence internationally, it would only be good for them if they could join Chu Huan as a powerful assistant.
, there is no harm, so they also very much hope to reach cooperation with Chu Huan this time.
Chu Huan said: "Mr. Isoda just talked about the gap between foreign banks and local banks in Japan. I have a piece of news for you, and this news is used in exchange for the two of you."
Give up the idea of holding shares in the head office of Alder Commercial Bank!"
Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda both showed surprised expressions. They could conclude that a person like Chu Huan would definitely not be aimless, and the news that Chu Huan could use as a condition for this negotiation was certainly not ordinary.
news.
It’s news that can have a profound impact on them!
However, even though they had thoughts in their minds, the expressions of the two of them still did not change. Shozo Hota said: "Chu-san, I can't give you an accurate answer until I don't know what kind of news this is!"
Isoda Ichiro said: "But please rest assured Chu-san, if the news you tell us is really important enough, we at Sumitomo Bank will definitely show our sincerity!"
Hota Sosan slightly raised his forehead to express his agreement with Ichiro Isoda's remarks.
Nowadays, Chu Huan himself is an important partner of Sumitomo Bank. It is impossible for them to play tricks on Chu Huan on this kind of matter.
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I believe you two."
After finishing speaking, Chu Huan paused and said: "According to the news sent back by my company in North America, the President of the San Francisco Fed and European Commission officials will visit Japan in May this year, and their visit to Japan this time
The important agenda is to hope that Japan can allow foreign banks to issue large certificates of deposit in Japan!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The expressions of Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda suddenly changed. This is great news!
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as this news spreads, it will immediately affect the stock price fluctuations of the entire Japanese banks in Japan.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if North Americans and Europeans really do this, their local commercial banks in Japan will be hit like never before.
"Chu Sang, you can't joke about this?" Ichiro Isoda couldn't help but said.
Chu Huan said: "Of course I can't be joking about such a matter. You two, there are now 93 commercial banks in Japan, of which 55 are foreign banks, and North American commercial banks account for 50% of them."
Half, they have lobbied the Japanese government many times before to allow foreign banks to issue large certificates of deposit in Japan, but the Japanese government has never agreed to this matter.
But this does not mean that these banks have given up on this matter. If this condition cannot be relaxed, foreign banks will not be able to compete with Japanese commercial banks. Do you think they will see this kind of thing continue?
Therefore, during this period, commercial banks in North America have been lobbying the North American government, hoping that the government will intervene in this matter, and it is obvious that the North American government has adopted their lobbying!"
Needless to say, we all know the influence of North America on Japan. If the North American government accepts the lobbying of North American commercial banks, it actually means that Japan is not far away from allowing foreign banks to issue large certificates of deposit.
In fact, this is actually the case. In May this year, the president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank of North America and officials from the European Commission visited Japan and requested that foreign banks be allowed to issue large certificates of deposit in Japan.
In May 1979, the Japanese government could not resist the pressure and finally allowed Japanese banks and foreign banks to start issuing CDs at the same time. This also became North America's "outpost" to pressure Japan to open up its financial market.
Although Hota Shozo believed that Chu Huan would never lie about this kind of thing, he still couldn't help but ask: "Chu Sang, how reliable is this news?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "There shouldn't be any problems anymore. If you two still have doubts, you can wait until May to decide on this matter!"
call!
Hota Shozo and Isoda Ichiro both exhaled. If Chu Huan said this, then the matter is 80% likely to be true!
While marveling at this incident, the two of them also learned more about Chu Huan's influence in North America. There was no news about this incident in Japan yet, but Chu Huan had already known about it in advance.
This piece of news alone has shown that their news channels in North America are not as good as Chu Huan's.
"Chu Sang, our Sumitomo Bank can give up the requirement to trade Alde Commercial Bank!"
Just learning about Chu Huan's influence in North America through this incident was enough for Shozo Hota to give up his request to acquire shares in Alder Commercial Bank.
"Okay, let's talk about Zhuilu Real Estate next!"
Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda were ready. From the news just now, they understood why Chu Huan was able to achieve such great achievements at such a young age.
Chu Huan can clearly grasp what they want most. If the news Chu Huan said before comes true, then Sumitomo Bank will have a few more months of preparation time, which will allow them to better act on the news.
article.
"Chu Sang, please speak!"
"The two of you want to acquire shares in Zhulu Real Estate because you want to prepare for the opening of foreign banks in Hong Kong. They even want to use Xiangjiang as a springboard to look into China's huge market!"
Chu Huan said calmly.
Hota Shozo and Isoda Ichiro nodded. They already knew Chu Huan's ability clearly. They already understood their thoughts and there was no need to hide them in front of Chu Huan.
"So whether you two can obtain the shares of Zhulu Real Estate is actually not important to Sumitomo Bank. The important markets in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and China that may appear in the future are what you value!"
Chu Huan preached.
Isoda Ichiro shook his head: "Although what Chu Sang said is accurate, it is not all. We have carefully studied the development of Zhulu Real Estate and also conducted a careful inspection of Xiangjiang's business environment. We all believe that the real estate industry will become
The most important industry in Hong Kong’s future.
In fact, Chu Sang’s current business plan in Xiangjiang has repeatedly proven this to us, so we are very optimistic about the future development of Zhulu Real Estate.”
Chu Huan nodded. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhulu Real Estate has become a giant in Xiangjiang's real estate industry. Especially the large amount of commercial land and commercial buildings in its hands provide the company with a long-term profitable business model.
So now that Horida Shozo and Isoda Ichiro see this, there is nothing to be suspicious of.
But Zhulu Real Estate is Chu Huan's private property, so it is impossible for him to let Sumitomo Bank take a stake, even if Sumitomo Bank only takes a very small share!
"Mr. Isoda's vision is admirable, but I cannot agree to investing in Zhulu Real Estate!" Chu Huan first made it clear that Sumitomo Bank was not allowed to invest in Zhulu Real Estate. Looking at Hota Shozo, Isoda
Ichiro looked unhappy, and Chu Huan continued to preach.
"Zhulu Real Estate's portfolio is huge. Even if Sumitomo Bank invests in it, it won't get many shares..."
Ichiro Isoda interrupted Chu Huan and said: "We at Sumitomo Bank can increase our holdings in cash!"
The ambition is really not ordinary!
Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands and said: "There is nothing to talk about in this matter. The development of Zhulu Real Estate does not lack funds. Not only does it not lack funds, Zhulu Real Estate will also increase its funds for a long time in the future."
Investment, when the time comes, can Sumitomo Bank continue to increase investment to maintain its shares?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if you two want to increase investment, we Zhulu Real Estate do not lack this part of the funds.
Instead of us getting stuck in endless discussions on this matter, you two should think about it in another direction!"
Hota Shozo asked: "I wonder what the new direction Chu-san mentioned is?"
Chu Huan said: "You two, I have just said that what you two really value is Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and China's financial market that may be liberalized in the future!"
Shozo Horida and Ichiro Isoda nodded!
Chu Huan continued: "In addition to the future development of Alde Commercial Bank, I have actually started to acquire local banks in Xiangjiang!"
Hota Shozo and Isoda Ichiro were not able to understand what Chu Huan meant for the time being. Now they all know that Xiangjiang is discussing relaxing restrictions on foreign banks. If this is the case, Alde Commercial Bank, which Chu Huan controls, can naturally do the same.
When this rule is completely lifted in the future and they enter Xiangjiang directly, why would Chu Huan go to the trouble of acquiring commercial banks in Xiangjiang again?
"Director Chu is preparing for Xiangjiang's financial system and merging the two companies when Alde Commercial Bank enters Xiangjiang in the future?"
This is what Shozo Hota can think of about Chu Huan's intention to acquire a local commercial bank in Hong Kong.
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "That's not the case. China is different from Japan. I can tell you with certainty that China's control over the financial industry is absolutely unprecedented.
As a commercial bank registered in North America, Alder Commercial Bank wants to enter China's financial market and obtain the same business as local banks in China. It is almost impossible. At least I have given up on this idea.
Therefore, if you want to enter China’s financial market, it is impossible for Alde Commercial Bank and Sumitomo Bank!”
It won't be possible for at least the next twenty years.
In the future, financial controls will definitely be slowly relaxed in my hometown, and indeed many commercial banks have entered the financial market in my hometown through the opportunity at that time.
But its influence should definitely not be overthought.
However, Chu Huan did not tell them everything. Although the ordinary banking business in his hometown has not been liberalized, the entry of investment banks was still very early.
After all, the development of my hometown also requires banknotes from foreign banks.
As for whether this matter is good or bad, Chu Huan will not comment.
Since Hota Shozo and Isoda Ichiro know more about Hong Kong affairs, they naturally know about the battle between Chu Huan and the Hong Kong government last year.
Knowing this matter, they knew the relationship between Chu Huan and the Chinese side, which forced them to pay attention to what Chu Huan said.
To put it simply, they actually use their own thinking to think about the situation on the Chinese side, thinking that whatever they can let go of, the Chinese side can definitely let go.
But it was obvious that Chu Huan's words made them doubt their own idea.
"Even if Chusang doesn't have a market in China, the markets in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia are enough!" Ichiro Isoda said.
He really doesn't want to give up his shares in Zhulu Real Estate.
Chu Huan nodded in agreement with Ichiro Isoda's words and said: "If I become a director of Sumitomo Bank, then we will be a family. Do you two think that I will not help Sumitomo Bank open the market in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia?
After all, by helping Sumitomo Bank, I am helping myself."
Hota Shozo pondered seriously for a moment and said, "Chu Sang really doesn't want to exchange the shares of Zhulu Real Estate?"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "This matter is non-negotiable!"
Hota Shozo smiled and said: "Well, we can put this matter aside for the time being and move on to the next condition!"
Chu Huan nodded.
The last condition is Chu Huan's shares in Ford Motor Company of North America. After the previous battle with the Ford family for shares in Ford Motor Company, Chu Huan now owns 28.1% of the A shares of Ford Motor Company in North America.
What Hota Shozo wants most is actually Chu Huan's part of this share.
"I can sell 8.1% of Ford Motor's shares to Sumitomo Bank. I can also arrange for Mr. Ichiro Isoda and the president of Mazda to meet with the Ford family. We can jointly discuss a cooperation plan that is beneficial to all three of us!"
Hota Shozo said: "We at Sumitomo Bank can provide at most 9% of the shares to Chairman Chu!"
As mentioned just now, the market value of Ford Motor exceeds that of Sumitomo Bank. Now Chu Huan can provide 8.1% of Ford Motor's shares, which actually exceeds the value of the 9% Sumitomo Bank shares provided by Sumitomo Bank.
This is also Chu Huan's plan. Ford's 8.1% shareholding is actually not that important to Chu Huan who has reconciled with the Ford family.
But it is very important for Sumitomo Bank. They can use this share to launch a three-way cooperation with Ford Motor, Sumitomo Bank, and Mazda Motor.
Sumitomo Bank can use this to enter the financial circle of North America, and Mazda can also use this to enter the automotive field of North America.
Chu Huan used this bargaining chip, which actually eliminated Sumitomo Bank's idea of continuing to invest in real estate.
Of course, as Hota Shozo said, they can invest in cash, but as long as they agree to Khan's current equity exchange plan, they have actually lost the initiative to negotiate with Chu Huan.
.
At that time, the relationship between the two parties will also change.
"Of course, Sumitomo Bank can pay the remaining share value in cash!" Chu Huan said in a nice voice.
"That's not how things work out. When Director Chu bought a stake in our Sumitomo Bank, he has actually officially entered Japan's top circle. The value represented by this part of the resources cannot be described in words!"
Shozo Hota preached seriously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan understood that Hota Shozo was bargaining with him. He wanted to borrow shares of Sumitomo Bank and formally establish a relationship with the six major chaebols in Japan.
Shozo Hota must have known about it.
This is also the reason why he dared to open his mouth to Chu Huanshi at the beginning.
According to Hota Shozo, Chu Huan's development in Xiangjiang has entered a bottleneck period. The Jiaku under Chu Huan's name is now too large, and Xiangjiang is almost unable to accommodate Chu Huan's capital.
Under such circumstances, Chu Huan must seek more room for development.
Looking at Asia as a whole, only Japan has this space.
Chu Huan's current layout in Japan also confirms Hota Shozo's thoughts.
At this time, Japan's Kaku has grown into an economic system that cannot be ignored in Japan. In addition, through this negotiation, Horida Shozo understood that Chu Huan has things in North America and Japan that they cannot know.
The influence of the government made him even more certain of this.
As for Nakazengen Yasuhiro, Hota Shozo has not put him in his eyes at this time.
After all, Nakazengen Yasuhiro had been beaten down before. In Japan's political history, there has never been a politician who could still stand up again when faced with the situation of Nakazengen Yasuhiro.
As for the Chinese side, everyone can now see its potential, but the uncertainty of this potential is too strong. No one can be sure whether the Chinese side will really undergo earth-shaking changes.
In this case, it can be confirmed that Chu Huan really wants to make a difference in the Japanese market!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Hota deserves to be a veteran in the business world. Well, since Mr. Hota has said this, if I say anything else, it will seem stingy. I agree with Mr. Hota on this matter.
Proposed!"
Ichiro Isoda showed an expression of joy. Although the negotiation process had twists and turns, there were still many unnecessarily negotiated conditions.
But now that their core demands have been agreed to, this is a victory for them!
But when Ichiro Isoda looked at Hota Shozo, his expression changed slightly, because there was no smile on Hota Shozo's face, but rather helplessness.
But Chu Huan was here at this time, and Ichiro Isoda couldn't ask too much. He could only wait for Chu Huan to leave before asking Hota Shozo.
"Chu Sang's decision is admirable!" Shozo Hota finally said helplessly.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Hotta is so polite. I believe this cooperation will be a new breakthrough for both of us. Maybe in the near future, we will have more in-depth cooperation."
Got it!"
In addition to investing in Sumitomo Bank, Chu Huan is now asking Kitaura Kiichiro to continue the acquisition of Nomura Securities.
As long as the stocks he purchased in the stock market reach the expected target, at that time, Chu Huan will officially ask Kentaro Nishitani to start the acquisition of Nomura Securities.
At that time, Sumitomo Bank, as one of the major shareholders of Nomura Securities, was naturally the partner that Chu Huan needed to win over.
However, the impact of this matter is too great now. Chu Huan still cannot completely trust Hota Shozo. He must wait until he has enough chips in his hands before he can start cooperation with Hota Shozo in this area.
Hota Shozo was stunned for a moment. At this time, he could not ignore everything Chu Huan said. Now that he heard what Chu Huan said, he immediately said: "I don't know what the deeper cooperation Chu Sang is talking about."
of?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I think it won't be long before Mr. Hotta knows!"
Seeing that Chu Huan didn't want to talk about this matter, Hota Shozo could only suppress the doubts in his heart. After all, he couldn't force Chu Huan to talk about this matter.
"If that's the case, then I'll be waiting for Chu Sang's reply in the future!" Hota Shosan said with a smile.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I also hope that my cooperation with Mr. Hotta can go smoothly this time!"
Hota Sosan said: "Chu-san, if nothing happens, I hope that Chu-san can stay in Osaka for a few more days. Regarding the cooperation with Chu-san, we still need to meet Mr. Sumitomo Yoshio and have a good chat!"
Sumitomo Yoshio, the current head of the Sumitomo family.
Although the Sumitomo family has already stipulated that management rights and ownership are separated, Sumitomo Bank, as one of the three members of the Sumitomo Consortium, still needs the approval of the Sumitomo family for things like the transfer of more than 5% of the equity.
OK.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I also really hope to meet Mr. Yoshio Sumitomo!"
Hota Sosan smiled and said, "How about I arrange this matter?"
"Thank you!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
When things came to this point, the negotiations between Chu Huan, Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda had come to an end for the time being, and Chu Huan stood up and left.
After Chu Huan left, Ichiro Isoda asked Hota Shozo the two questions he had in mind.
Why didn't they finalize the investment in Zhulu Real Estate during the negotiation? Why did Shozo Hota look like that when Chu Huan agreed to exchange 8.1% of Ford Motor's shares for 9% of Sumitomo Bank's shares?
Hota Shozo said helplessly: "Just now, Chu Huan's rejection of our investment in Zhulu Real Estate was obvious. If we have to dwell on this matter, there will be no way to proceed with subsequent negotiations. Buying shares in Zhulu Real Estate
It is not our core appeal, but buying a stake in Ford Motor Company is our core appeal.
Now Toyota and Honda have used their advantages to enter the European and American markets and have gained a certain market share.
However, our cooperative company Mazda is still struggling to find an entrance, so the first thing we want to get is Ford Motor's shares.
Although Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and even the Chinese market in the future are very important, they are not as important as the European and American markets.
In those markets, we can continue to seek other solutions, but the European and American markets can no longer wait."
Although the third daughter of Horidaso is married to Tatsuya Toyoda of the Toyota family, the real partner of the Toyota family is the Mitsui Foundation, not the Sumitomo Foundation.
Although these Japanese chaebols are married to each other, many people think that they jointly develop overseas markets, but in fact there are various competitions between them.
Let’s not talk about Japan’s local market, but just talk about overseas markets. If conditions permit, they will naturally cooperate with each other and develop together.
But if there is competition, although it will not lead to a bloody blow, it will definitely be all kinds of overt and covert fighting. They will not do such things as sacrificing their own interests for the benefit of one party.
If Mazda wants to gain a foothold in Europe and the United States, Japanese car companies such as Toyota and Honda will inevitably become their most direct competitors.
After listening to Hota Shozo's explanation, Ichiro Isoda finally understood what he meant, and then asked his second question.
Shozo Hota shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect Chu Huan to agree to our request so easily, but when Chu Huan agreed to exchange unequal-valued Sumitomo Bank shares for Ford Motor shares, Chu Huan was actually telling us
, our transactions with him are limited to this point now, he will no longer use Zhulu Real Estate’s stocks to trade with us!”
Ichiro Isoda thought for a moment and said with some regret: "Is there really no way to invest in Zhulu Real Estate?"
Hota Shozo said: "There is still a way. If Chu Huan is suddenly short of money at a certain period of time, then that is our opportunity!"
Ichiro Isoda smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid no one knows how much cash Chu Huan has in his hands now!"
Hota Shozo said: "At least we can know part of the wealth that Chu Huan's business in Japan brought him!"
Ichiro Isoda was stunned for a moment and said: "So, you agree to the plan to exchange shares between Sumitomo Bank and Alde Commercial Bank?"
"Mutual exchange of shares is no longer possible!" Shozo Horida said: "Sumitomo Bank can only give up to 9% of its shares to Chu Huan. As for the shares of Alde Commercial Bank Japan Branch, we can only take cash.
Bought!"
The shares of Sumitomo Bank have been used to trade shares of North American Ford Motor Company with Chu Huan, so if you want Sumitomo Bank to invest in Alder Commercial Bank, you must spend real money!
Ichiro Isoda thought for a while and didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, so he said: "Then do we have to wait until May?"
Ichiro Isoda dare not forget what Chu Huan just said about the visit of the President of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank of North America and European officials to Japan in May.
"I think it's impossible for Chu Huan to joke about this kind of thing!" Shozo Hota sighed: "We will face more and more problems in the future. If there is a Chu Huan around to help
, maybe it will really bring us something different!”
Ichiro Isoda understood that Shozo Hota had fully agreed with Chu Huan’s deal!
