Both Zhao Zhenyu and Han Shixian were stunned by the sudden news.
Two hours ago, Ashikaga Bank President Emiaki Ikeda just got off the private plane and landed in Seoul.
His main goal this time is to acquire LG Display and Erxing Display, well, that is, the panel assets of these two consortiums.
The panel industry is as painful as caviar.
The production line has very high requirements for electricity, air quality, and water sources, and it is also a very complex production system.
Backlight modules, polarizers, filters, glass substrates, etc. have a very high technical content in every aspect, and the most annoying thing is that the return on investment is very slow. To put it bluntly, this is an unprofitable high-tech industry. No difference.
A production line costs three to four billion dollars, and the investment in research and development of various production equipment is even more excruciating. The payback period is eight to ten years, which means that if you want to enter this industry, you should not make money within the first eight to ten years.
This kind of thing wants those venture capital investors to invest money in, haha.
BOE's Lao Wang has suffered substantial losses year after year despite various official tax reductions and subsidies, and until now, Chen Yi can only feel amazed at the fact that investors have been cut off from him. This completely refreshed his view of Blue Star Leek. Industry awareness.
After Chen Yi got a little more money six years ago, he was trapped by Lao Wang's BOE, which invested at least 10 billion in research and development every year. If he hadn't been able to print US dollars in a year, he would have left it long ago. Kira robbed Japan's major panel factory.
Moreover, for Lao Wang’s BOE, he also tried his best to squeeze the panel industry of Bay Island, grabbing technology, grabbing talents, signing overlord clauses and other unethical things.
As a result, all the manufacturers in Wandao now have no ability to develop further and can only produce for BOE. If they don't want to do it, they will declare bankruptcy and be acquired by BOE at a low price. Chen Yi is not going to be reasonable anyway.
He has no burden in doing this kind of thing. During the subprime mortgage crisis in his previous life, in order to help the LCD panel industry in Bay Island tide over the difficulties, major mainland color TV manufacturers directly and systematically purchased large amounts of panels.
However, within a few months, the panel manufacturers in the Bay Island directly reached an agreement with companies in southern Japan and began to control shipments. Within a month, the market price of LCD panels soared by 30%.
Since no one is prepared to reason, it's easy to handle.
Now BOE has evolved to the 7.5-generation line after being deceived by Lao Wang and Chen Yi. The eighth-generation line is under preparation, which is only one generation lower than the most advanced level in Japan and South Korea.
Regarding the panel industry in the Southern Dynasty, Chen Yi and Kira's purpose this time was simple, to take advantage of the situation.
Megumi Ikeda, like Sawano, is a big boss in the Japanese financial industry, and he is also planning to declare bankruptcy and bow after a while.
Hearing Nozawa say that they still had a chance to make a comeback, they decided to get on the boat without saying a word.
Although this group of people are now increasingly marginalized among the six major chaebols, the various channels of contacts they have accumulated after being big bosses for so many years are not limited. You must know that in the 1980s, Japan dared to directly It was announced in the big media that it had bought the entire United States.
From this point of view, you can almost imagine what the say of this group of people among the six major chaebols was.
Although Japan's financial sector is currently suffering from the huge bubble of real estate, this is something that only a few people know. In the eyes of many players, although Japan's vitality is severely damaged, it still has a lot of money in its hands. It fits the image of rich people in everyone’s eyes.
Therefore, no matter how awesome a group of people in the Southern Dynasty usually look like the largest country in the universe, now when they are in urgent need of funds to save the situation, they have to put on a smiling face and welcome the uncle to play.
. . .
At the port, a luxury yacht docked on the shore. Zhao Yuzhen was smiling all over his face, without the serious expression he had on Han Shixian before in the office.
Next to him were LG's talker Goo Honmo and two-star talker Li Jianxi. When the three of them saw Ikeda Eaki arriving with two assistants and translators, they hurried forward to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Ikeda.
This is Mr. Gu Benmao, the chairman of LG, and this is Mr. Li Jianxi, the chairman of Two Star. "
"Hahaha, I've admired you for a long time."
The three of them greeted each other politely, then stepped onto the spiral staircase and entered the yacht.
As soon as he entered the cabin door, Gu Ben was amazed at the luxurious decoration inside. He felt like he had entered a luxurious villa instead of a yacht.
As someone who also enjoys playing, Ikeda's eyesight has also been honed through years of practice.
All kinds of world-class famous wines are neatly placed in the wine cabinets. After seeing some inconspicuous places, he can be sure that most of them are genuine.
When you step on the carpet under your feet, you can tell that it is hand-woven. The comfortable, thick and exquisite feel of the carpet has at least 900 tao (dao, a special term in the carpet manufacturing industry, used to indicate quality or density). The price of this carpet is at least A million dollars.
There are several oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, one of which is an authentic work by Van Gogh. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling, illuminated by various colors of light, reveals an opulent feeling of wealth.
In particular, there were four girls dressed as maids. Ikeda had some vague memories of it, and it seemed that they were a very popular girl group in the Southern Dynasties recently.
But watching all this made Ikeda feel weird, because the leader of the Southern Dynasty had taken the lead in announcing that he had donated all the gold and silver jewelry in his family and called on everyone to unite to tide over this difficulty.
But now looking at this yacht in Li Jianxi's name, Ikeda always feels something like that.
The group of people only stayed in the cabin for a while and then came to the deck with their drinking utensils and sat down.
Facing the comfortable sea breeze, the four of them looked at the waves taking photos one after another on the distant sea. Under the attentive service of the four maids, Ikeda felt relaxed and happy, but he did not forget the business of today.
So after having a romantic chat with Nanchao Fang and the others, they said directly: "Thirty billion US dollars in interest-free loans in exchange for our wholly-owned acquisition of Two Star D and LG D. I think we are already very sincere."
Li Jianxi and Gu Ben looked at each other with serious faces, waved their hands first, and the four girl group girls retreated directly.
When only the three of Nanchao, Ikeda, and his translator and assistant were left on the deck, Zhao Yuzhen spoke: "Mr. Ikeda, you also know that this is the lifeblood industry of Nanchao."
Li Jianxi also said directly: "If Mr. Ikeda wants to take a stake, we welcome it, but a full acquisition is impossible."
Gu Benmao: "That's what I mean too."
Ikeda cursed in his heart. It seemed that the people in Nanchao were welcoming him warmly, as if everything was easy to talk about, but he refused them directly after just asking a question.
However, he was already prepared, knowing that it would be difficult to negotiate, so he smiled and said, "The situation in the Southern Dynasties is not very good now, isn't it?"
Zhao Yuzhen retorted: "There is no need to worry about this, Mr. Ikeda. We are already considering asking for help from the IMF. I believe that with the help of the ifm, the Southern Dynasties will get through the difficulties soon!"
Ikeda shook his head and sighed: "That will completely open the domestic market of the Southern Dynasties to Wall Street. Are you really willing to do that?"
At this time, the faces of the three of them all turned ugly, and it was obvious that they had touched a painful spot in their hearts.
