Age of Dreams

Xiao Qi went to Tokyo early, one purpose was to accompany Yuxiang mother and daughter, and the other purpose was to make some purchases.

After sending Sayuri to school, Xiao Qibian came to a very ordinary cafe on the streets of Tokyo.

When it comes to the ability to accept Western affairs, the Japanese are more comfortable than the Chinese. Cafes, steaks, Western food, Western etiquette, etc., if you don’t look at the yellow-skinned faces, you will think that you are on the European and American continents.

Speaking of the Japanese are really bad, they have contracted the best coffee plantations in Jamaica, and moved all the good Blue Mountain coffee back to China, so that they can drink the authentic Blue Mountain coffee by themselves, even Europeans and Americans. Can only drink less than 20%, let alone a coffee shop in China.

There are countless coffee shops on the land of China, and they are ashamed to boast that they are Blue Mountain Coffee. When you encounter this kind of shop, you walk up and give you a slap. Nine out of ten will not make a mistake.

Xiao Qi doesn't like coffee. It's bitter and astringent, unlike green tea, oolong tea, Pu'er tea, dark tea, etc. Drinking it is bitter and still has a sweet aftertaste, which is completely enjoyable.

So he ordered lemon black tea with a slice of lime, which tasted refreshing.

Sitting next to a tall, forty-year-old white man, Xiao Qi smiled, "Old Bao, you have successfully lost weight recently!"

The white man is Bao Lijie, head of the Assets Division of Citibank Japan Headquarters, an old friend of Xiao Qi.

While he was drinking coffee, he smiled bitterly after hearing the words, "Sorry, don't make fun of me! My hair is almost falling out of sadness here, why do you want to lose weight?"

"Citibank has suffered a lot in Japan?" Xiao Qi asked casually.

"Much bigger than you think." Bao Lijie sighed and said, "I see, after this financial crisis, I can go home and eat myself... By the way, Qi Shao, give me a place in your company. I dare not say anything else, I can still stand guard when you steal someone’s daughter-in-law."

"It's not bad, and I'll be joking. It proves that you are having a good life." Xiao Qi nodded, "I wanted to introduce you to a business, so I think it's fine."

"Don't! Don't!" Bao Lijie was taken aback, and immediately wrinkled with a smile on his face, "Ki Shao, we are friends! How can you not take care of me if you do some business in Japan? How about it. Isn't it? Are you looking for a loan from me again? Let’s talk about it! 10 billion or 20 billion? As long as I hold DreamPad shares as collateral, I can get you the underwear of our chairman’s wife!"

"Go, go, your chairman's wife is in her forties, am I still rare?" Xiao Qi said silently, "and I'm not a loan, I'm looking for you to help me buy something."

"Huh? Buy something?"

Bao Lijie rolled his eyes. "The Japanese have been hit by a disaster, Qi Shao, have you come here to buy the bottom? You are really cunning!"

"Don't say cold words, it seems like you Citigroup are not taking advantage of others." Xiao Qi said faintly: "If you make this money or not, just say it!"

"Okay! You have the final say!" Bao Lijie clapped his hands, "Which company do you want?"

"FtBank."

"Sun Zhenyi?"

"Well, it's him!"

Following Xiao Qi's affirmative answer, Bao Lijie fell into contemplation.

In the craziest era of the Internet. Sun Zhenyi's ftBank, also known as SoftBank Group, has a market value of US$243 billion.

But with the bursting of the dot-com bubble, SoftBank Group’s current market value is only more than ten percent of the previous value, and its two-month average market value is only hovering around $40 billion.

The recent subprime mortgage crisis has spread to Japan. As several major banks in Japan have been involved in subordinated debt, Japan's financial shocks quickly spread to the stock market, causing Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index to suffer an unprecedented setback in recent years. So Softbank's market value has now fallen to 38 billion U.S. dollars.

Bao Lijie recalled Xiao Qi's main business and found that Fairy Company and SoftBank Group had no necessary connection. So why did he buy the shares of SoftBank Group?

After pondering for a while, Bao Lijie asked Xiao Qi: "Qi Shao, how many shares of SoftBank Group are you going to buy? To what extent is appropriate?"

"I have a balance of 32 billion U.S. dollars in my Citibank account." Xiao Qi said lightly. "Just take this as the standard."

"what!?"

Bao Lijie was shocked, "Do you want to completely acquire SoftBank Group? How is this possible?"

Of course it is impossible.

Just as China will not allow any company to acquire Dentsu, China Mobile, and Unidata, Japan cannot allow the SoftBank Group, which occupies more than 30% of Japan's telecommunications and mobile businesses, to be acquired by companies from other countries.

The same is true in Europe and America.

The so-called free. Buy and sell by the market. When it comes to the country's communication security, it's just farting!

As long as Xiao Qi's shares involve more than 30% of the red line, the Japanese securities market regulators will immediately use various methods to make things difficult for Xiao Qi until he gives up his shares.

Bao Lijie didn't believe that Xiao Qi was such a naive person, but Xiao Qi's eyes didn't make any jokes.

"I know you have a way!" Xiao Qi looked at him and said: "I want Japan's SoftBank Group to have as many shares as possible. The time can be relaxed within one year, but I hope to get the desired result."

Of course, Citibank has many ways to help Xiao Qi escape supervision.

The problem is that escaping from supervision does not mean that Xiao Qi can use absolute controlling power. As long as he reveals the share structure, the Japanese government can target Xiao Qi without any evidence.

Thinking of this, Bao Lijie understood a little: "Qiao Shao, do you only plan to use it once and solve the problem once?"

"Yes!" Xiao Qi said calmly, "I want to hold shares to do business with others! Without enough shares, I can't deal with him."

"You mean he... is Sun Zhenyi?"

"Yes!"

Bao Lijie nodded, UU read www.uukanshu.com now understand.

All foreign banks and investment banks in Japan are actually connected.

When discussing Japanese business figures, it is usually said that the most difficult thing for the Japanese business community to deal with is not the elite team of the six major consortia, but the Sun Zhenyi who moved from China to Korea and then from Korea to Japan!

This guy has an extremely tough attitude, a very cunning mind, a spirit of perseverance, and a bold and arrogant style.

Imagine that in a short period of more than 20 years, he, a Japanese of Korean descent, was able to achieve the position of the richest man in Japan. In a country that is more conservative than China, he does not have the above-mentioned characteristics. can do it?

No wonder Xiao Qi has to act so carefully. If it is to deal with him, the more bargaining chips the better!

PS: The narration of the situation in Japan in today's chapter is based on checking the information and sending it out with feelings. It is also a relatively unpleasant fact. All in all, if you want to catch up with the enemy, you can't solve it with just a few words. I hope my brothers can have a clear understanding. We need to work hard together! Well, by the way, because of a series of changes, it has been too hard recently, so please subscribe!
