Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 1468: While the layout is in progress

Xiao Qi is in Japan, and now there are two acquisitions and exchanges in progress.

The first is the stock of SoftBank Group.

Under the repeated suppression of Citibank, the value of SoftBank Group’s shares has fallen to 29 billion U.S. dollars. Citibank also used more than 870 accounts for acquisitions, and finally unified, and controlled 23% of Softbank Group’s shares through 338 accounts. .

Although it was a lot slower than the 8% collection in the previous week, the most important thing is to be solid and careful. You can't let others know in advance, especially it can't arouse Sun Zhenyi's vigilance.

However, Xiao Qi bought the 23% of the shares, but the value cannot be calculated based on the total price of 29 billion US dollars. In fact, in order to get the 23% of the shares, Xiao Qi spent a full 8 billion US dollars.

The complex operations of Citibank, the various funds used to suppress soft and hard funds, the transfer and integration of accounts, etc., all require large and large expenditures, that is, the partnership between Citibank’s Bao Lijie and Xiao Qi, and The Asian Citigroup invested in Xiao Qi’s favor only at a discounted price. Otherwise, another person would have to increase at least 500 million US dollars.

23% of the shares are less than half of the 51% that Xiao Qi needs, but as the Nikkei 225 index continues to plummet with the US stocks, Bao Lijie believes that the next three months will take advantage of the panic. In fact, it is not impossible to complete 51% of the tasks.

In Xiao Qi's case, as long as the Taobao website broke out in late 2008, the SoftBank Group was controlled and negotiated. Of course it would be better to be able to advance.

No matter how clever Sun Zhenyi was, he would never have thought that anyone would be eyeing his company now. It is even harder to imagine that Xiao Qi's purpose of acquiring SoftBank Group is only to get the shares of Ali Baba.

Although every country’s stock market has very strict supervision over acquisitions, established banks such as Citigroup are born against the rules set by various national financial institutions. With their methods, they will not be able to complete the acquisition. Let people know-no more than a certain share of a single account to buy stocks. You don’t even need to declare, where do you need to disclose the owner?

It seems very simple, but you must have enough money and patience to wait, you must have an excellent executor to do it, and you must have the strength and mentality to bear all the consequences. That is definitely not what ordinary people can do.

To put it bluntly, in the 21st century. It is the century of capital operation.

As long as you have money and sufficient creativity, you can get the greatest development.

Citibank, which does actual business, can only become a helper of a super-rich consortium like Xiao Qi, and it is no longer possible to have the unmatched strength of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Compared with the acquisition of Softbank Group, Sony has patents on Ericsson's mobile phones and wireless. But it is much more difficult.

Regardless of how Ericsson lost its mobile phone business so quickly, so simply, but they put more emphasis on their mobile phone frame patents and device patents in the wireless field.

One is the burden of losing creativity, and the other is the foundation of the company. The treatment is totally different!

And Ericsson in the mobile phone cooperation. It is not so smooth sailing, otherwise, the sales in the world will not be low, even in the traditional big market of Japanese brands in China, it has to be ranked behind Nokia, Motorola and Samsung.

But in general, it is better to have friendship than no friendship.

Relying on the convenience of the cooperative relationship, Gao Chuan Huishu directly sent a high-level delegation to Stockholm, Sweden, and started difficult negotiations with Ericsson.

For the Gaochuan family and the Shengtian family, no matter what the price is, they must be qualified to enter, because this represents an opportunity for the right to speak in the infinitely vast intelligent electronic world in the future.

They are very strong now, but they have never stopped working hard, thinking about being stronger all the time.

The strong vitality of the application store has made the senior executives fall over, so it is positioned as one of the important indicators to lead others again.

What's more, Samsung has already entered, there is no reason to be more powerful than it can not enter, how much damage will this be to reputation? Doesn't it mean that Japan is not as good as South Korea?

Rao has made great efforts and prepared to pay a huge price, but Ericsson is still not letting go, and looks unwilling to negotiate.

But both Takakawa Teruki and Xiao Qi knew that the people at Ericsson were just pretending.

In the Western world, there is no business that cannot be discussed. What's more, when Xiao Qi bought patents, he left the European base to Ericsson. All he wanted was patents in Asia and America, so they had no reason not to talk about it.

What needs to be seen now is the negotiation skills and patience. It just so happens that after the Japanese have been fooled over the past few years, their patience and skills have been greatly improved, but I am afraid that the time will not be so fast.

The financial crisis is a great test for any company.

Nortel Networks, which was on par with Ericsson in the wireless field, is much stronger than Ericsson.

After several consecutive financial crises and Internet bubble crises ~www.readwn.com~ what Nortel Network has become now, everyone can see.

Ericsson is also facing such difficulties. Because of the economic downturn, people’s desire for consumption will decline, and the decline in desire for consumption will directly affect business people’s enthusiasm for production and investment, thereby further reducing business people’s enthusiasm for production and investment. Demand for various equipment-Nortel Networks suffered a lot of ruined orders in the past, and a large number of servers could not be sold, and finally collapsed.

Ericsson’s experience today is not as miserable and urgent as Nortel Networks, but before the arrival of the smartphone era in 2010, Ericsson’s life was not so easy, but it is also true.

Now and DreamPad are popular all over the world, but compared to the traditional share of computers and mobile phones, they are still not excellent. Ericsson does not know how brilliant their future will be. Therefore, in the face of the temptation of huge benefits, most of them do not control it. Living, most of them will submit.

Xiao Qi hopes that the negotiations can be carried out as soon as possible. After all, DreamStars of Fairy Company will be released in February next year at the latest. It is only four months away from now. If you wait for DreamStars to sweep the world by the same amount, I am afraid you will have to pay. The price is even greater.
