Fang Hong opened the document and saw that it was a memorandum of understanding.
Tian Jiayi immediately said: "TDK Group has made a decision and is willing to sell. However, the current situation is not yet known whether the Ministry of Commerce in North America and Europe will agree to this acquisition."
This involves an issue of anti-monopoly law, which is to avoid the merger of large companies resulting in excessive market share and ultimately monopoly status. According to the anti-monopoly laws of various countries, as long as the acquiring companies have business in the country, local anti-monopoly laws are required. Approval from the monopoly department is required.
ATL is now a leading company in the industry, and it also has a lot of business overseas, such as supplying Apple. Many people may not know this company, but the batteries used in their mobile phones are very likely to come from ATL. Produced by the company.
If other countries do not agree and force the acquisition, that country's market will be prohibited from entering.
At this time, Fang Hong said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter whether they agree or not, ATL is bound to win. If Europeans and Americans don't agree, just give up on overseas markets. The domestic smartphone industry will definitely explode in the next few years, and ATL will definitely win." You can survive by relying on the mainland market and live a comfortable life."
In a few years, with the explosion of the smartphone industry, ATL will be able to achieve revenue of 30 to 40 billion per year by relying on the mainland market, and its annual profit will be 4 billion.
Under such expectations, spending 20 billion to buy it now is a solid profit, not to mention bringing an additional trillion in market value from ATL.
"Just wait, tdk must feel that he has won a lot now, and is still secretly mocking the stars if he can't receive it. But in a few years, when tdk looks back on this transaction, he will definitely regret it to the point of vomiting blood." Fang Hong said with a smile.
tdk has historical limitations, but as a time-travel and reborn existence, Fang Hong does not have such limitations.

Thursday, May 13th.
Two days later, the senior management teams of Qunxing Capital and TDK Group showed up at ATL Company at the same time. Qunxing directly sent Director Zhao Sheng, one of the company's board members, to lead the team there in person.
This morning, the two parties jointly held a press conference to officially announce that the two parties had reached the ATL deal and directly publicly signed the agreement. Star Capital spent 20 billion to buy out TDK Group's 100% stake in ATL.
A week ago, the tdk Group reached a consensus and decided to sell. The two parties just initialed the agreement two days ago, and signed the formal agreement directly today. The speed of this transaction can be called a lightning transaction.
Obviously, both parties were afraid that the other party would regret it, so they quickly signed the deal to let the boots fall.
At the same time, both parties thought they were going to win. tdk Group was happy to take money, and Star Capital was happy to take assets, and they secretly talked to each other.
However, the media and industry insiders were collectively confused. This efficiency was so fast that everyone was caught off guard and had not yet reacted. Some people were even discussing the reliability of the rumored news.
The result was finalized today?
This transaction involved a sky-high price of 20 billion, and it also became the largest transaction in the mainland this year, but... isn't it a bit too hasty?
If they hadn't personally witnessed the results announced by both parties at the joint press conference, no one would believe it. Even if the merger was really going to happen, it would take about half a year no matter how quickly it happened, right? Even two or three years is not unusual.
That this sky-high price transaction was facilitated in such a short period of time is truly a rare thing, because there is no such precedent.
…
After the press conference, the media rushed to report it. Industry insiders were stunned and the investment circle was also caught off guard.
One person didn't pay attention, and this happened, and no one reacted!
Five years later, ATL, a company controlled by 100% Japanese capital, has undergone a lightning-fast turnaround and transformed into a company controlled by 100% domestic capital.
Now Stars Capital has become the “King of Troubleshooting” in the eyes of industry insiders. In the eyes of many investment circles and industry insiders, Stars Capital can really fix things.
I always like to make big news, and I have already made several this year.
First, it invested 2 billion in the C1 round of financing for Jingdong, creating the largest single financing scale for the domestic Internet this year; then the establishment of the private commercial aerospace company Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, with an annual R&D budget of 10 billion; now it has invested 200 billion. 100 million yuan bought 100% of the entire shares of ATL from tdk Group.
Each one of them is a big news that can make the headlines of the current period, and each move is more arrogant. Star Capital gives the outside world the impression that it has unlimited bullets.
However, as the news spread, as soon as the ATL merger came out, many people laughed at Qunxing Capital for being famous for being a "stupid person with a lot of money", and laughed at Qunxing Capital for being a silly son of a landlord with a good temperament.
The operation of spending 20 billion to buy ATL was ridiculed by many people as Qunxing Capital was a complete "big mistake". Japanese capital made a lot of money. TDK Group earned a return of 3 billion US dollars for 100 million US dollars five years ago. It won Numb.
Everyone is talking about the story of hydrogen energy. It is really stupid for Stellan Capital to spend a sky-high price to buy a company with no future like ATL.
However, there are also many people who are doing serious research. Compared with outsiders who read lively and eye-catching articles, real experts do not think that Qunxing Capital is really the owner of "stupid people and rich money".
Is he really as stupid as the outside world says? He is a pure and innocent character who has been wronged. How can he rise up in such a short period of time?
Qunxing Capital is willing to pay a price of 20 billion to buy it, which at least shows that it recognizes that the company's value is far more than 20 billion. However, few people can figure out what value Qunxing Capital sees in ATL.
But no matter what, the deal is settled, and all transactions and work handovers will be completed in the next two to three months.
By then, ATL Company and TDK Group will no longer have a half-cent relationship.
…
Just the day after the joint press conference held by Qunxing Capital to acquire ATL, a major piece of news that was negative for ATL emerged.
On Friday, May 14th, Apple suddenly notified ATL today that it would kick ATL out of Apple's supply chain. In the future, batteries required for Apple's electronic products will no longer be supplied by ATL.
The news quickly spread through the "Uncle Party", and various media outlets rushed to report on the matter and continued to take advantage of it.
At this time, many people who were watching the excitement and not taking the matter too seriously were gloating about the misfortune. Qunxing Capital had just taken over the ATL company and lost a big client.
】
ATL's major competitors are very happy.
Everyone also did not expect Apple to jump out and kick ATL out of the supply chain at this time, but if you think about it carefully, this is unexpected and reasonable.
Apple is now in a relationship with Liang Zijie of Xingyu Technology, and the largest shareholder of Xingyu Technology is Qunxing Capital. Now Qunxing Capital has acquired 100% of the shares of ATL from tdk Group.
ATL has become an accomplice of its sworn enemy. When Apple saw the news, it became more and more angry. It could not let its sworn enemy make its own money, so its anger naturally spread to ATL.
Kick it out with a backhand, but there are still alternatives. There are at least three companies in the world whose technical strength is no worse than ATL. For example, they can replace Samsung batteries.
At this time, the Samsung battery explosion incident has not happened yet, and Samsung is a big brand recognized by the industry.
