"cheers!"
After a crisp sound, Kira and Sun Zheng clinked a glass.
"Sun Sang, I am right to ask you to cooperate. I didn't expect that you have been preparing for this for a long time."
"No, in fact, my main goal has always been communication. This time it was also because Vodafone was not accustomed to the local environment. But President Kira really has a lot of friends in Europe. I didn't expect that he was familiar with the udi consortium."
"It was just a big collaboration four years ago."
four years ago?
Wasn't it that DM Bank was robbed of 30 billion dollars, and then a credit crisis broke out in Niu Country?
No wonder you have such a good relationship, you turned out to be comrades who shared the stolen goods together.
Sun Zhengyi was also shocked when he thought of this. Is Shuguang Society so wild?
But this time, thanks to Kira, his plan was moved forward a lot. Since then, SoftBank has become the third largest mobile communications operator in Japan.
In fact, his goal in founding SoftBank has never been the Internet and venture capital, but communications. It was only after he picked up Yahoo and learned about it that he turned his main focus to investment. However, SoftBank's own old bank has always been Neither gave up.
After so many years of development, it has become a leader in the Japanese telecommunications industry. In the past two years, Sun Zhengyi has also been intensively preparing to enter the fixed and mobile phone communications market. The process has not been smooth sailing, but at any rate, in November last year Obtained a radio band license.
Others just thought that Sun Zhengyi was planning to start from scratch and wanted to enter the cake monopolized by the three major operators. Little did they know that Sun Zhengyi was interested in jphone, the third largest company, which was taken over by blue two years ago. Acquired by Vodafone, one of the largest mobile communications network companies in the world.
Well, when Vodafone entered the Japanese market, it was obvious that it was not accustomed to the local environment. The methods of playing the mobile communications market in Japan and Europe and the United States were obviously different.
Japanese operators have a strong ability to control the industrial chain, and mobile phone manufacturers have to customize mobile phones according to the requirements of operators.
In Europe and the United States, product research and development by large manufacturers like Nokia are independent of operators. Operators only care about operations, and they never think that one day they will have to worry about mobile phone customization.
The acclimatization coupled with the secret lack of moral integrity of the two local operators in Japan made Vodafone unbearable and wanted to sell the burden of jphone.
But Sun Zhengyi has been staring at it for a long time. His purpose is to acquire jphone from Vodafone before anyone can react. He has already raised about 20 billion U.S. dollars in loans from many banks. Just prepare for a quick battle.
Because at this time, jphone was simply a hot commodity in the eyes of all investment banks and private equity funds, because at this time, jphone’s overall valuation was greatly underestimated due to sluggish performance.
And although the performance seems to be poor, as Japan's third largest communications operator, the cash flow in its hands is very leveraged. Just like opening a retail mall, although it may be a loss in performance, it is temporarily in its hands. There are a lot of tickets!
Many other competitors are also eyeing jphone, including Morgan Stanley and a "notorious" private equity fund Cerberus Fund.
Just when Sun Zhengyi was about to directly raise the price and quickly conclude the deal, Kira pulled him into the prehistoric camp. Then Vodafone was headquartered in the Niu Kingdom. Now it was easier to deal with it, so he directly asked Hannis for help.
Vodafone is one of the largest mobile network communications companies in Blue Star, and the udi consortium is the leader of a group of emerging consortiums in the Niu Kingdom. It is also well-spoken within Vodafone, so after a series of py transactions, Sun Zhengyi was very relaxed They bought jphone for $14.5 billion and changed its name to SoftBank Mobile.
"Everything is ready now, all we need is the east wind."
"I heard that you recently agreed to the people in Silicon Valley to expel Yang Zhiyuan from the board of directors. What is your reward?"
Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, has now entered the end of his career.
Maybe he also knows the reason why he won't stay at Yahoo for long. This guy seems to be obsessed with trying to compete with Google. He is determined to fight Google to the end despite all the non-technical means of his own board of directors.
Google made encyclopedias, and Yahoo started to follow suit. Google made map navigation, and Yahoo continued to follow suit. Now it has developed to the point where it does not even let go of Google's core business and directly uses its own search engine to touch Google's most important core. Although it cannot It hurts Google's foundation, but it still holds back a lot of Google's energy.
So most of the people on Yahoo's board of directors were angry. The reason is simple, because they are both Yahoo's shareholders and Google's board members.
So much so that now this group of people had just met with Yang Zhiyuan in the morning to discuss how Yahoo should kill Google, and in the afternoon they were going to Google to continue the meeting to discuss how Google should deal with Yahoo, this annoying fly.
If it were this period in the previous life, a group of people might have slowly cleared away Yang Zhiyuan's influence, and finally kicked him out.
But the situation is different now. The next life or death of Nasdaq depends entirely on Apple and Google. Everyone needs to focus on smartphones.
It can be said that at this time, the development of the Apple and Android camps is directly related to the national destiny of the United States.
Yang Zhiyuan's behavior of breaking things at this time is not only quarreling with his own board members, but also antagonizing most of the forces in the United States.
Others are putting pressure on Yahoo and Google to ask these board members to get Yang Zhiyuan out quickly, otherwise when they do it themselves, the assets owned by Yahoo will definitely be part of it.
So Yahoo's board of directors took action and directly approached SoftBank, Yahoo's major shareholder. Sun Zhengyi also changed his mind at this time and regarded Yahoo as a burden to SoftBank, so he agreed to join this group of people to expel Yang Zhiyuan. Finished.
"Today Yahoo will hold a shareholders' meeting. I have authorized SoftBank representatives to directly cooperate with other board members. The reward is that all Yahoo's business and assets in Japan will be sold to SoftBank in a package for 4.5 billion U.S. dollars. Yahoo Japan, Japan's largest portal The site will belong entirely to SoftBank."
Kira was astonished after hearing this, "Is the situation in the United States so serious? I would rather give away some of my interests to eliminate all possible black swan events."
Sun Zhengyi asked in confusion: "Are you talking about Nasdaq?"
"Yes." Kira responded perfunctorily.
But Sun Zhengyi keenly felt that Kira still had a lot to say, and this woman must know something that he didn't know.
If only one Nasdaq was about to collapse, Kira should directly use "Nasdaq" as the subject instead of "United States."
Thinking of this, Sun Zhengyi felt a chill in his heart for some reason, as if he would be implicated if he didn't do something.
"Kira, I don't know why I have a bad feeling in my heart..."
Kira interrupted him before he could finish his words: "Hurry up and make a complete separation between Soft and Hard and Silicon Valley before Rebus's Yanjing concert starts!
As a partner, this is what I say, you can do it yourself. "
