When it comes to specific departments, you don’t need to use cash, you can just buy them in full. In the personal computer business department, 30.00% of the shares are in the market, and 70.00% are controlled by Toshiba. Now, sell 30.00% of the shares , Toshiba can continue to hold shares, and can get the funds needed for development.

Only sell 30.00% of the shares?Although Sarah knows that she can acquire the first shareholder by acquiring 30.00% of the shares in the market, but this is not her idea. Since the acquisition, it has nothing to do with Toshiba, that is, it needs to acquire all the shares.

"We need all the shares except those on the market," Sarah said.She said it very directly, this is her main purpose of coming here, and she needs to hold all the shares.

After she finished speaking, the audience became a little cold. Everyone in Toshiba knew that the other party was annexing a large department of their own. Could they accept it?

"I'm sorry, such an acquisition cannot be approved by our board of directors. At most, we can provide you with 40.00% of the shares." Kawano Yoshio said. "However, some of the projects among us can all be sold to you, and this is also our preliminary agreement."

"What we are interested in is the whole department. Do you think that I came here from London just to acquire a few small projects from your company?" Sarah said, although her words were slightly unpleasant, but , This is one of her tricks. I'm not interested in your small projects at all. These are just a little bit.

Hearing what Sarah said, Kawano Yoshio was a little annoyed, but he also knew that what the other party said was true. The president of a large multinational company, who traveled half the world and came to Tokyo, must have made a big move.

"Your proposal, we will report it to the board of directors for discussion. Now, can we discuss a few projects proposed by you?" Kawano Yoshio said: "Our LCD panel project, million-bit CMOS random access For storage and optical disc file generation systems, we have negotiated and can transfer all technologies, and each set of technologies only needs [-] million U.S. dollars."

Chapter 9 Twelve The Strange Trend of the Dollar and Yen

$[-] million?[-] million rì yuan, or all three sets, which is not too bad. Sarah looked at those people on the other side, and felt that she was really wrong this time. These guys are the best at doing business. Now, their company It's almost bankrupt, sell some junk, and it's so expensive!

In later generations, Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business unit cost more than a billion dollars.

These projects are all the results obtained by the technicians of Ousheng Electronics after analyzing the market. Among them, the liquid crystal panel technology represents the trend of technology. Without distortion, it is the best choice for portable computers, and the random access memory is something that can quickly save information at any time. In a personal computer, there is a simple name called memory, which determines the performance of the computer. Important indicators.The other, optical disc, is a new means of storing data, and its capacity is much larger than that of existing floppy disks and hard disks.

It is very necessary to obtain some key sub-projects instead of all the personal computer business. In particular, Ousheng Company does not have any technical reserves for these projects and starts from scratch.

However, it is impossible to make them spend a lot of money.

"It seems that we won't be able to negotiate any projects this time." Sarah said, "Just treat my visit to Tokyo this time as a tourist trip. I heard that the autumn famous mountains in your place are beautiful?"

He was obviously very interested in seeing the other party's eyes, but once the words changed, the project fell through?Originally, they just raised the price to make it easier for the other party to bargain. Even if it was reduced to [-]% of the price, they were satisfied. This is their consistent principle of doing business.

But now, the other party has changed his face immediately, woman, that's it!Kawano Yoshio said: "We can negotiate the price again. If you want to travel to Mount Akina, our company can send someone to arrange everything for you."

When negotiating business, there are often various additional conditions. For example, it is possible to provide the other party with travel opportunities and provide the other party with some additional add-ons.

But now, when Kawano Yoshio said this, he always felt that there was something wrong. When the other party came here, he must have a certain certainty, and he would never let it go so easily.

What means does the other party have?

"I heard that Toshiba's stock seems to be a bit unstable recently?" Sarah asked.

"We are only affected by exports. When exports resume, stocks will definitely rise. This is only temporary." Kawano Yoshio said.

Wait until exports resume?The U.S. policy of increasing tariffs on other companies has ended, but for Toshiba, it still continues to implement the established policy. Is it necessary to levy it for one year?When will exports resume?It seems that they are too optimistic.

"Really? In order to help your company stabilize its stock, our Ousheng Company invested a sum of money and bought your company's stock on the market. It seems that we are over-concerned. Now, our company's capital turnover is somewhat problematic. It seems that these stocks need to be sold out." Sarah said.

This sentence shocked Kawano Yoshio. Now, the company's stock has fallen to its lowest point. The other party's purchase of the company's stock is obviously to make a fortune. However, one has to be grateful to the other party, because, If the other party sells the stock in his hand, then the company's stock price may have to plummet.

No wonder the company's stock has fallen in the past two days. It turned out that it was acquired by the other party, and it seemed that the other party held a lot of it.

"Thank you very much for Ousheng's trust in us. May I ask how many shares do you hold?" Kawano Yoshio asked. Now, the negotiation is not going well, and it seems that the other party has the intention of leaving.

"Not much, like billions of dollars."

Billions of dollars!According to the current stock index, it is already equivalent to one-third of the market.

If this sentence came from someone else, he might not believe it, but if it was said from the mouth of the general manager of the world's top ten large companies, it would definitely not be wrong. These funds, For Ousheng Company, it is absolutely nothing.

If the other party throws these stocks into the market again, I am afraid that the stocks will fall by half!

Using stocks as a weapon is also one of Sarah's means, a very useful means in the market.

Two companies that are friendly to each other can hold each other's stocks to achieve the goal of mutual support and common progress. For competitors, they can also hold each other's stocks to deal a fatal blow when the other party is weakest!

Hearing Sarah's words, all the people present fell silent. Now, the other party is asking them to spin off the personal computer business and sell it to Ousheng Company, and I'm afraid they have to agree!

"In order to show the mutual cooperation and friendly relationship between Toshiba and Ousheng, we are willing to sell three technologies at a preferential price, 5000 million yuan each. How about it?" Kawano Yoshio automatically cut the price by half.

"We can accept 5000 million rì for each item." Sarah said generously.

Rì Yuan...Kawano Yoshio really wanted to refute, but heard the other party continue: "Moreover, we hope to hold internal shares of your company as further support for your company."

For the entire group of Toshiba Corporation, the listed shares accounted for 40.00%. The other party now requires internal shares, even if the other party only holds 15.00% of the internal shares. Shares, Toshiba Corporation, I am afraid it will be renamed Ousheng-Toshiba Corporation.

This is absolutely impossible.

"Well, each item is 5000 million rì. Let's finalize these agreements first. As for the company's stock issue, this is a very complicated issue. We need to hold several meetings of the board of directors to decide, so now we will finalize these items first , What do you think?" Kawano Yoshio asked.

Let's stabilize the other party first. As for the company's internal shares, after several months of negotiation, we can give the other party about [-]% at most, which is just a token.At that time, the company must have overcome the difficulties. If Ousheng Company wants to sell the stock, the company will buy it by itself.

5000 million for each item, this time, the amount was reduced by nearly a hundred times, Sarah said lightly: "Then let's sign these agreements first, I will travel in the island country for a few days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. "

It seems that Ousheng Company is determined to own the company's shares. Yoshio Kawano knows that it is definitely not easy for a person who leads an ordinary company to become a large multinational company within a few years. Unfortunately, the current Toshiba The company has been unable to compete.

……

"Right now, the reaction in the market is very strange," said Paul Volcker, chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board.

In the United States, there is no zhōngyāng bank, but the Federal Reserve System is responsible for performing the duties of a zhōngyāng bank in the United States. This system is mainly composed of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Open Market Committee, and there are about [-] member banks. , and three advisory committees.

The Federal Reserve System of the United States is a private banking system organized privately for public purposes.Although the U.S. zhèngfǔ does not own the shares of the Federal Reserve, 94% of the Fed’s profits need to be transferred to the U.S. Treasury Department, and the remaining 6% is used to issue dividends to member banks; at the same time, the U.S. zhèngfǔ appoints all senior employees of the Fed.

Now, they have thrown 200 billion US dollars of reserves in the market. According to expectations, the rì yuan in the market should start to have a downward trend, but now, the situation is unexpected.

The US dollar has not depreciated, and the rì yuan has not appreciated!

On the contrary, the rì yuan has depreciated somewhat, from 250 rì yuan to one dollar, to 253 rì yuan to one dollar!

James was also scratching his head, thinking that at the beginning, it was just a word from the US Secretary of the Treasury, and the market began to sell dollars frenziedly, which led to the unstoppable depreciation of the dollar. Many of their last moves were to deal with this possible situation. Yes, but now, the dollar has not depreciated!

what does that mean?It means that there is already a blind confidence in the US dollar in the market!

The U.S. dollar is the only international currency in the world, especially, it is the only currency for settlement of oil, and the price of the U.S. dollar is relatively strong.

"It seems that if we want to devalue our currency, we need to sell more dollars in the island market." James said that he has no better way to deal with the current situation.

He also knows that it is very difficult to let the rì yuan appreciate by relying on the tens of billions of dollars raised by the five countries. They just hope that under their leadership, international investors will follow suit, so that it can be completed The depreciation of the dollar and the appreciation of the rì yuan are the heavy responsibility. The funds in their hands are to intervene at critical times, such as when the dollar depreciates too fast, and they are reserved to save the value of the dollar.

But now, it seems that if more funds are not used to increase the holdings of rì yuan, I am afraid that rì yuan will not depreciate.

"We need to sell another 300 billion US dollars to the market and increase all our holdings of rì yuan. In this way, rì yuan will definitely rise." James said.

"But in this case, when we encounter danger, we may not be able to resist the risk." Paul said.

"We need to lobby the president to allocate more funds for this plan. At the same time, let the other four countries also provide more funds for this operation. We have no way out." James said.

Paul didn't go on, he was thinking of another possibility, besides the fact that the US dollar was too strong, which prevented it from going down, it was also possible that someone secretly manipulated it.
