632. The dinner that changed the business landscape in Japan
In the next ten years, when Japan's top wealthy families hold night banquets again, even if they don't mention it in their mouths, they will use the banquet hosted by Chu Huan in Japan as a reference in their hearts.
Later, a guest who attended this dinner leaked the news outside, saying that this dinner had already consumed 1.45 billion yen in terms of expenses alone!
The butler from England, the all-blond waitresses, the top-quality foreign wines bought at auctions, all kinds of rare dishes, and luxurious tableware all made those who participated in the banquet feel the scale of this banquet.
Of course, although the specifications of this dinner are super-standard, in fact, more Japanese business people call this dinner a dinner that will change the future of Japan's business landscape!
Because at this dinner, many surprising things happened.
The first thing is...
As the contemporary head of the Nomura family, Nomura Fumihide was also invited to Chu Huan's manor.
Although Nomura Fumihide does not hold any position at Nomura Securities, he is the chairman of Nomura Construction. Backed by Nomura Securities, the number one securities company in Japan, the Nomura family, although not the top big family in Japan, is still top-notch.
Nomura Fumihide, dressed in a tuxedo and carrying his wife, appeared here with a smile on his face, and then toasted and chatted with his familiar friends.
"Jun Wenxiu, I didn't expect you to come here today!"
Hisao Tsubouchi also attended in costume. Kurushima Shipyard also has some business dealings with Nomura Securities. At the same time, Nomura Securities is also one of the cooperative companies of Kurushima Shipyard.
Nomura Wenxiu smiled elegantly and said: "Chu Sang has always been a good friend of our Nomura Securities. This time he invites you kindly, so of course I will come!"
Hisao Tsubouchi has heard this sentence no less than ten times today. It seems that everyone who comes here is saying that he and Chu Huan are very good friends.
"Yes, I have never thought that Chu Sang can have such a status in Japan. It is really admirable!"
Nomura Fumio nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I thought this war would last for a long time, but I didn't expect Chu Sang to resolve this matter in just a few days."
The two of them were chatting casually like this. If it were in another business environment, Nomura Fumhide and Tsubouchi Hisao would definitely be the focus of the entire dinner. But it was different today. No one who came here had the same identity.
They are worse than them, so the two of them are naturally not the focus.
"Now that Mr. Hisao has become a shareholder of Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch, I hope your business at Laishima Shipyard will definitely get better and better in the future!"
Fumihide Nomura said with a smile.
Tsubouchi Hisao replied: "Bunxiu-kun, please stop teasing me. Although I am now a shareholder of Alde Commercial Bank Japan Branch, I still hope that the cooperation between Kurushima Shipyard and Nomura Bank can continue!"
Nomura Bank is also one of the industries of the Nomura family, but its reputation in Japan is not as good as that of Sumitomo Bank. Super commercial banks such as Fuji Bank rely more on Nomura Securities for their development.
These super wealthy people in Japan will set up their own banks!
Nomura Fumihide chuckled and said: "This is natural, Mr. Hisao has always been one of our most trusted partners at Nomura Bank!"
While the two were chatting, Kitaura Kiichiro, who was also attending the dinner, found Nomura Fumuhide, and whispered a few words in Nomura Fumuhide's ear. Nomura Fumihide nodded slightly, and then spoke to Hisao Tsubouchi.
: "Mr. Shoufu, I'm very sorry. Master has invited me, so I have to excuse myself for a moment!"
Hisao Tsubouchi smiled and said: "This is what it should be. Let's talk about it later!"
Then Tsubouchi Hisao and Kitaura Kiichiro smiled and nodded, and then they separated.
"Ichiro-kun, do you know why Chu Huan came to me alone?"
When Nomura Fumihide and Kitaura Kiichiro were alone, Nomura Fumio asked Kitaura Kiichiro in a low voice.
Kitaura Kiichiro smiled and nodded to the other businessmen he passed by, and said softly: "Wenxiu-kun, you will know after you meet Chu Sang!"
Nomura Fumihide was slightly startled, he didn't expect that Kitaura Kiichiro would give him such an answer!
After glancing at Kitaura Kiichiro with some confusion, Nomura Fumihide didn't say anything and followed Kitaura Kiichiro to Chu Huan's reception room!
"Jun Wenxiu, let me introduce to you, this is Chu Huan and Chu Sang!"
Nomura Fumio met Chu Huan for the first time today.
"Hello Chu Sang, I'm very happy to meet you. I hope our cooperative relationship will become deeper and deeper in the future!"
Nomura Wenxiu smiled and shook hands with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan also smiled and said: "I also very much hope to cooperate with Mr. Nomura!"
Then Kitaura Kiichiro introduced the 27- or 27-year-old young man next to Chu Huan to Nomura Fumihide, saying: "Funxiu-kun, this is Mr. Kentaro Nishitani, the new chairman of the Yomiuri Group!"
Hearing Kentaro Nishitani's name, Nomura Fumihide's face became full of doubts. He naturally knew about Kentaro Nishitani. The most legendary young man in the Japanese business world in the past two years was actually able to take down the Yomiuri Group. This man in Japan
A group with a long history.
The most important thing is that the Yomiuri Group is still the largest media group in Japan. It is rumored that many politicians have taken the initiative to contact Kentaro Nishitani.
It is conceivable that Kentaro Nishitani will definitely become a well-known figure in the Japanese business community in the future.
What Nomura Fumhide didn't expect was that Kentaro Nishitani actually knew Chu Huan.
"Nishitani-san is a rising star in our Japanese business community. His rapid development is surprising. I didn't expect the two of us to meet here today!"
Kentaro Nishitani calmly shook hands with Nomura Fumihide and said, "Nomura-san is really too polite. I will have to give Nomura-san more guidance in the future!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While Chu Huan and others were chatting with Nomura Fumio here, someone was also looking for Chu Huan at the dinner outside.
"Mr. Fangfu, we guests are here, why has the master Chu Huan disappeared?"
Mitsui Takacho found Yoshio Sumitomo and asked him.
When the dinner party just started, Chu Huan was still here, welcoming friends from all walks of life, but at this time Chu Huan disappeared, which made Mitsui Gaochang who wanted to find Chu Huan a little strange.
"Yes, but Chu Sang was still here just now, why can't he see it in the blink of an eye?"
Sumitomo Yoshio also looked around with some confusion. He did not see Chu Huan in the banquet hall. He only saw Wu Shuhan, Tanaka Anhui and Hanaoka Nanakura receiving the guests here as hostesses.
Mitsui was so tall that he didn't say anything about Chu Huan's absence, but said to Sumitomo Yoshio: "I didn't expect Chu Huan to know so many senior officials and congressmen in Japan!"
This is the second shock that tonight’s dinner brought to the guests!
Everyone had said before that Chu Huan wanted to lead Japan's Kakuzu to become a new Japanese chaebol. One of the most critical issues was that Chu Huan's influence in Japanese politics was almost zero. This was not done before by Mitsui Takamichi.
It can be seen when he attacks Chu Huan.
After all, at that time, Chu Huan did not use any political influence in Japan.
but now.......
Current Japanese parliamentarians and senior government officials such as Higashi Sadazou, Zaizen Goro, Fukami Tatsuhiko, Yamada Takayuki, Tamiya Akiyoshi, etc. were all present, and judging from the way Chu Huan had greeted them before, it was obvious that they had known each other for a long time.
Such a scene made Mitsui Takano, Sumitomo Yoshio and others a little surprised at the time.
"Yes, this scene really did not occur to me." Sumitomo Yoshio said to Mitsui Takano seriously.
Mitsui Takacho smiled meaningfully at Sumitomo Yoshio and asked: "Do you think these people here today are all the people Chu Sang knows in Japan's political arena, or are they just some of them?"
Sumitomo Yoshio chuckled and said: "Why would Gao Chang-kun ask me about this kind of thing? I think you must have your own answer in your heart!"
Certainly not all!
This is an idea shared by Mitsui Takauchi and Sumitomo Yoshio. There are several key characters among them, but the indirectly related characters mentioned by Chu Huan did not appear.
The first is the main officials of Japan's Ministry of Finance. Although Yamada Takayuki and Zaizen Goro are also officials of Japan's Ministry of Finance, their levels cannot solve the problem of Alde Commercial Bank taking over Japan.
In addition, at a glance, it can be seen that except for Higashi Sadazou and Zaizen Goro who have certain development potential in their political careers, the political future of other people can basically be seen at a glance. It is not because of their grade.
It is because certain political events cannot have greater development potential.
As for Yasuhiro Nakamasone, whom Sumitomo Yoshio knew, he was not even within the scope of consideration by the two of them now.
"But no matter how you put it, I didn't expect that Chu Sang would have such influence in Japan!" Mitsui Takanaga said meaningfully.
Sumitomo Yoshio said: "I don't think it's anything. According to Japan's influence, it would be abnormal if you don't know some official figures in Japan."
Mitsui Gaochang nodded slightly. Although these people who came to the scene also had power in their hands, even those political figures who could see their results at a glance, because they had no higher pursuits, they acted more unscrupulously, so the influence of these people
The power is still very strong...compared to those ordinary Japanese companies.
"I heard that Mr. Yoshio is going to send his niece to Xiangjiang to study?" Mitsui Takacho suddenly told Sumitomo Yoshio about Sumitomo Ryoko.
Sumitomo Yoshio smiled and said: "I am very glad that I made this decision in advance, otherwise I would have snatched this person from Gao Changjun now!"
Mitsui Gaochang laughed and said: "It's just a cousin, there is nothing to regret. Has Mr. Yoshio seen those two women?"
Sumitomo Yoshio looked in the direction pointed by Mitsui Takaunaga, which happened to be where Tanaka Yasue and Hanaoka Nanakura were.
"Chu Huan pushed these two women out on such an occasion. It seems that his purpose is obvious. His property in Japan will most likely be handed over to the heirs of these two women in the future."
Mitsui Gao said with a long smile.
Sumitomo Yoshio shook his head and said: "It should be part of the industry, but it will definitely not be all of it. Gao Changjun, I think you should know that Chu Huan has a wife in Xiangjiang, and according to the traditions of our Eastern countries,
The eldest son inherits everything. Even if the eldest son has no talent, he is definitely the legitimate son.
In my opinion, the children born to these two women are more used to marry people like us, and at the same time, they can also obtain a certain degree of inheritance rights for all the properties in Japan."
Mitsui Gao smiled and said without paying much attention: "No matter which way it is, we can judge from Chu Huan's current behavior that this person definitely has a long-term plan for his industry in Japan, and this
This is our chance."
Sumitomo Yoshio nodded and said: "Yes, this is our opportunity!"
The opportunity that the two of them mentioned is actually that in the future they will let their mistresses and their heirs make friends with Tanaka Yasuke and Hanaoka Nanakura, so that the two parties will have a certain degree of friendship!
Of course, all this is to prepare for the possibility that Tanaka Anhui and Hanaoka Qiying may give birth to an heir from Chu Huan in the future.
Marriage has always been the most important way of cooperation for these super powerful families in Japan.
As for Chu Huan's property in Japan, it is no longer possible to do anything in a short time. However, Mitsui Takacho and Sumitomo Yoshio did not pay much attention to this. They may not have enough time, but their
Future generations will definitely have enough time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the eyes of these people, Chu Huan’s heirs will be a very important bargaining chip!
.
"What?" Nomura Fumio lost his smile at this time. He did not expect that Chu Huan would meet with him alone today and wanted to acquire their shares in Nomura Securities. This news directly made Nomura Fumio, who had always been in a good mood, suddenly change.
Not so happy anymore.
"This is impossible!"
Nomura Fumihide directly and loudly rejected Chu Huan's suggestion.
Chu Huan didn't care about Nomura Fumuhide's attitude, and said with a smile: "Mr. Nomura, I know that asking you to sell your shares in Nomura Securities is a very difficult thing to accept, but I still hope you can think about it seriously.
, the current market value of Nomura Securities is approximately US$2.5 billion, and the Nomura family holds 22.15% of the shares in Nomura Securities. The value of this share is approximately US$550 million, and Mr. Kentaro Nishitani and I are willing to form a joint venture.
Acquired the Nomura family's stake in Nomura Securities for US$800 million.
I believe no one can pay this price except me!"
Huhu...
Nomura Fumihide gasped, obviously the price of 800 million US dollars made him a little excited.
As mentioned before, although Nomura Securities is the number one securities company in Japan and manages countless capitals, the influence of the Nomura family itself on Nomura Securities is actually limited, mainly due to the post-war influence of North America on Japan.
reform.
Although the Nomura family escaped that reform, the Nomura family, like other super families in Japan, began to sink out of people's sight.
However, such a result will inevitably make the Nomura family less controlling of Nomura Securities than before. After all, they are not a super family like Mitsui and Sumitomo.
Even in later generations, among Japan's super families, the Nomura family is difficult to rank. This actually indirectly proves that the Nomura family's control over Nomura Securities has gradually declined since then.
Now Chu Huan is willing to spend 1 billion US dollars to acquire his family's shares in Nomura Securities. With this money, the Nomura family can use their family's original influence to expand business in other industries as much as possible.
After pondering for a long time, Nomura Fumihide finally spoke, but he did not agree to Chu Huan's acquisition request. Instead, he said: "I am very grateful to Chu Sang and Nishitani Sang for their bids, but Nomura Securities is owned by the Nomura family.
I can’t sell the glory in Japan!”
Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, then relaxed them again, and then said with a smile: "I can understand the Nomura family's feelings for Nomura Securities, but Nomura Securities is what I must get, because with Nomura Securities
, there is no resistance to the development of the Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch in Japan. Instead, it has gained a pair of wings because of the cooperation with the Mitsui family and the Sumitomo family. I hope Mr. Nomura can understand what I mean!"
With the investment of Mitsui Foundation and Sumitomo Foundation, this is equivalent to washing away the traces of North American banks on the Japanese branch of Alde Commercial Bank. At the same time, if it can acquire Nomura Securities, it is equivalent to supplementing the Japanese branch of Alde Commercial Bank.
Shortcomings in the investment and securities fields.
This allows the Alder Commercial Bank Japan branch to enter the Japanese financial market without any blind spots or weaknesses.
Therefore, Nomura Securities must get it!
"I understand the significance of Nomura Securities to a commercial bank, but there is no need for me to sell our family's property to meet your business needs, Chu Sang!"
Nomura Fumihide replied to Chu Huan seriously.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Nomura, do you think that since I am negotiating with you so straightforwardly, I will not take any action of my own?"
Nomura was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Kitaura Kiichiro. Faced with Nomura's murderous gaze, Kitaura Kiichiro saw the embarrassment in his eyes only fleetingly, and then he smiled and said.
"Wen Xiujun, I have discussed it with the management, and most of them are very willing to support Chu Sang and Nishitani Sang's acquisition of Nomura Securities!"
"Traitor!" Nomura Fumihide said angrily, lowering his voice, but then snorted coldly: "You also said that it is the support of some people. I believe that there are still many people in Nomura Securities who are willing to support our Nomura family!
"
Now that Kitaura Kiichiro has confirmed that he is standing as a traitor to the Nomura family, he naturally has nothing to worry about and continues: "Wenxiu-kun, there may be one thing you don't know about this paragraph.
Time, Chu Sang and Nishitani Sang have had enough of losing almost 10% of Nomura Securities shares in the stock market!"
Nomura Fumihide looked at Kitaura Kiichiro blankly, and said angrily: "You actually treat the trust of our Nomura family like this!"
Chu Huan spoke at this time: "Mr. Nomura, a good bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Now we already hold 10% of the shares of Nomura Securities acquired on the stock market. If we add Yomiuri Group's shares in Nomura Securities,
As well as partial share support from the management, and don’t forget, our Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch has reached a cooperative relationship with Sumitomo Bank. I think the Sumitomo Foundation also wants to go to Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch to deal with Nomura Securities.
acquisition.
After all, with my influence in North America and the influence of Alder Commercial Bank North America Head Office in North America, Nomura Securities’ influence in North America and Europe can be raised to a higher level!”
Listening to Chu Huan's analysis, Nomura Fumio's face became increasingly uglier, because what Chu Huan said was the most likely thing to happen. Although the Nomura family and the Sumitomo family also have a good relationship, in this matter, friendship is friendship.
, business is business.
It is conceivable that the result is definitely not the best for them.
"Chu Sang, I admit that what you said is very confusing, but if you have really received the support of the Sumitomo family, then the combined shares of your family will exceed the shares of our Nomura family in Nomura Securities."
You can definitely use this to kick us Nomura Securities away, so why bother with me here? Looking at the current situation, the Sumitomo family probably doesn’t know about your acquisition of Nomura Securities. If that’s the case, we
As long as the Nomura family has the support of Sumitomo Bank, it can still control Nomura Securities!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan nodded and did not deny Nomura Fumuhide's intention. He can become the successor of a family that has inherited a history of hundreds of years, even if he has average abilities.
, nor can it be viewed as a straw bag.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, just like the successor of South Korea's LG Group, Gu Bensheng. Because of the eldest son inheritance system of the Gu family, LG was passed on to Gu Bensheng. As a result, Gu Bensheng became a veritable idiot.
Heir.
Of course, if this includes the imperial families of ancient China, if they were all capable people with lofty ideals, not every dynasty would be able to escape the bad luck of 300 years!
But no matter what, at this time Nomura Fumihide still showed his ability as the heir to the top chaebol.
However, Chu Huan was fully prepared for this matter, so it was naturally impossible for Nomura Fumio to get through like this.
In fact, Chu Huan and Nomura Fumihide do not have any personal grudges, and they are not even as serious as the grudges between Chu Huan and the Mitsui family, but so what?
Nomura Securities is what Chu Huan needs, and it is also an industry that Chu Huan can obtain now. Therefore, for the sake of profit, Nomura Securities must be in Chu Huan's hands.
In addition to the business interests mentioned above, the actual acquisition of Nomura Securities also represents Chu Huan's influence in Japanese politics to a higher level.
As the largest securities company in Japan, Nomura Securities has a strong influence on the Japanese stock market. If Kentaro Nishitani can successfully acquire Nomura Securities and become the chairman of Nomura Securities, then coupled with the influence of Yomiuri Group, Kentaro Nishitani will immediately
By becoming a popular figure in Japanese politics, even the Minister of Finance will be friends with Kentaro Nishitani.
As Chu Huan's Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch is one of the major shareholders of Nomura Securities, Chu Huan's influence has naturally increased.
"What Mr. Nomura said is not wrong, but I have just said that the benefits we can give to Sumitomo Bank far exceed what the Nomura family can give. Even if Yoshio Sumitomo is invited in now, I think he will stand firm.
It’s on our side, so why bother?”
Nomura Fumihide had grasped the key to the matter at this time, and said with a smile: "But I can guarantee that when Chu Sang wants to get the support of the Sumitomo family, he will definitely pay more. At the same time, Chu Sang, don't forget
, the Nomura family also has its own allies in the Japanese political arena. If we come forward to ask for help, I think Chu Sang will have to add a lot of variables if he wants to facilitate this acquisition, right?"
Looking at the smiling Nomura Fumxiu, Chu Huan said calmly: "Mr. Nomura, let's talk about your psychological price. If it is appropriate, I also hope that our transaction this time will be a peaceful transaction and not involve any involvement.
There are too many things. Of course, if Mr. Nomura really thinks that the reasons you mentioned can be established, I think even you yourself will not believe it. The Japanese government really cannot accept Nomura Securities, the largest securities company in Japan.
Let me become one of their major shareholders.
But don’t forget, I am only one of the major shareholders, not the controlling party. The real controlling party is Mr. Kentaro Nishitani!”
Nomura Fumihide pondered for a moment, and finally said: "For US$1.2 billion, if Chu Sang and Nishitani Sang are willing to offer US$1.2 billion, I am willing to sell the Nomura family's shares in Nomura Securities on behalf of the Nomura family!"
Chu Huan smiled directly, then waved his hand and said: "Mr. Nomura, there is no such big opening as a lion. 900 million US dollars is the highest price we can give. If Mr. Nomura is not willing to sell, then we
We can only find out in the business world!"
Nomura Fumxiu leaned on the sofa, thinking seriously about Chu Huan's suggestion.
In fact, Chu Huan has already explained many things clearly, and Nomura Fumihide himself also understands that the Sumitomo family will definitely stand on Chu Huan's side in this incident. After all, the influence of Alder Commercial Bank North America Head Office can enhance Nomura Securities'
There is no doubt about the size of North America.
As for the government background, the Nomura family has it, the Sumitomo family has it, and even Chu Huan can bring the Mitsui family in. After all, the Mitsui family is also the shareholder of Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch. When their interests and goals are the same, they
Of course we stand together.
What he has to do is actually use the chips in his hands to get more benefits from Chu Huan.
But just when Nomura Fumio wanted to open his mouth to continue bargaining, Chu Huan spoke up again.
"Mr. Nomura, I was not bargaining with you just now. The price of US$900 million is already very fair. If you add more, I will not agree to anything!"
Nomura Fumio looked at Chu Huan's serious expression and understood that this was indeed Chu Huan's final psychological price.
Finally, Nomura Fumihide said: "Well, if that's the case, I agree to sell the Nomura family's shares in Nomura Securities to Chu Sang and Nishitani Sang!"
