Bab 1235: Chapter 1235: The Three Future Titans
In actual terms, Xia Yu has only let Matsumoto Yu and Wang Qi operate freely for less than two months.
This period of time is not long if you say it is long, but it is not short if you say it is short.
Inside the Jiuding Securities Company on the island country,
Xia Yu leaned back on the sofa, listening to Matsumoto Yu's report, but his eyes were on a document in his hands.
Before he knew it, Matsumoto Yu had finished his report, and Xia Yu just nodded slightly, still going through the document.
Matsumoto Yu and Wang Qi glanced at each other, and then the two of them remained silent, avoiding disturbing Xia Yu's train of thought.
Suddenly, Xia Yu's gaze sharpened, and after a few seconds, his brows relaxed. He saw a name on the list of investment and acquisition targets compiled by Songben You and Wang Qi that looked familiar to him.
Leading Motors Company, founded by Takemitsu Takizaki (滝崎武光).
The company name at the front was unfamiliar, but the name at the back was very familiar to Xia Yu.
Takamitsu Takizaki, one of the top ten richest people on the surface of the island nation, with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars!
After taking a closer look at the business scope and products of Leading Motors, he found that in the field of industrial automation, the main products are industrial sensors and measuring instruments.
Xia Yu was instantly convinced that this Leading Motors company must be the predecessor of the Keane Company, which has a market value of hundreds of billions of US dollars in the future.
Keane Company.
This is the world's sensor field overlord in the future!
Its main products also include measuring instruments, vision systems, PLCs, microscopes, laser marking machine research, hair analysis instruments, etc.
Keyence has a unique corporate culture and a strong innovative spirit. According to statistics, more than 70% of Keyence's products are either 'world firsts' or 'industry firsts', and many of them are irreplaceable.
This technical strength has also resulted in a net profit margin of 40% to 50% for Keyence every year, creating a virtuous cycle.
However, according to information, Keyence was founded in May 1974, and it has only been nine years since then. Its products are far less abundant than those of Keyence, and it is still in the stage of accumulating its foundation.
Right now, LEADING is not yet listed, but it already publishes annual reports regularly. Last year's annual turnover was 6.17 billion yen, but the net profit was only 45 million yen. The reason for this is that the company invested 2.28 billion yen in research and development last year, which accounted for 37% of the company's total revenue, which is very impressive!
And in terms of debt, it is also very eye-catching, which is a big goose egg!
From this it can be seen that Takemitsu Takizaki adheres to a prudent business strategy. Although there are no loans for development, the growth rate will be much slower, but the risk is also very small.
This is a person who can stand loneliness!
However, for now, the Leading Motors Company has not yet been invested in by Jiuding Securities, but it is only on the list of investment targets.
Matsumoto Nozomu and Wang Qi discovered such a company and even made the decision to invest in it, which made Xia Yu very satisfied.
In this report, just having found such a company is actually already worth a fortune.
But Xia Yu continued to read on and encountered another surprise.
Or rather, two surprises!
They were the Nidec Corporation and Sankyo Seisakusho!
The former was founded in 1973 by Shigenobu Nagamori, a farmer by birth, and its current business focuses on hard disk drive motors and precision small motors, and it is doing very well in both categories.
Sankyo Seisakusho was established much earlier, in 1938 by Ogawa Ryohei. It was originally called Ogawa Seisakusho, and changed its name in 1964. Its business focuses on automotive parts and electrical parts. Its most outstanding product is the cam indexer. Adhering to the spirit of craftsmanship, it has been deeply involved in the development of cam indexers. Last year, it developed the world's smallest cam indexer, which was enthusiastically received by the market.
Unlike Nidec Corporation and Leading Electric, Sankyo Seisakusho is already a listed company, with a current market value of 84.85 billion yen. The company has a total share capital of 180 million shares, and the stock price fluctuates around 471.4 yen.
There are only two shareholders with a stake of more than 10%, namely Toyota Motor, the largest shareholder, with a 12.1% stake, and the founder's family, the Ogawa family, with a 11.4% stake.
Apart from these three companies, Xia Yu did not find any other well-known companies in the future.
But having these three potential stocks based in the industrial manufacturing sector is already very good.
Matsumoto Nozomu and Wang Qi have indeed lived up to his expectations.
Although these companies are currently weak, they have great potential. If they can be brought under his control and grow strong, then they will have the strength to compete with the island's six major consortia in the future.
Of course, the first two companies, which are not listed, are only listed as investment targets, while Sankyo Seisakusho, which is already listed, and Jiuding Securities Company have already secretly absorbed shares. A total of 7.455 billion yen has been invested so far, and 16.12 million shares have been acquired, accounting for 8.96% of the total share capital.
On the surface, it has been disclosed that the shareholding ratio is 5.1%, and the remaining equity is all hidden and does not need to be disclosed.
In addition to Sankyo Seisakusho, another company that has also been selected and started hunting in the past month or so is Suntory!
This is a beer and beverage company founded in 1921, formerly known as Tori Shoten, which was founded by Tori Shinjiro in 1899. It was officially renamed Suntory in 1967. The company has always been whiskey, beer and other alcoholic beverages as its main business. It was not until 1980 that it began to set foot in the soft drink industry. In particular, in 1981, it launched the specialty 'oolong tea' from the mainland province of Fujian on the island country, creating a brand new sugar-free category in the soft drink market and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
Of course, at this moment, soft drinks are only Suntory's new business, representing the future.
Currently, Suntory's largest and second largest businesses are beer and whiskey, respectively.
Suntory is one of the five largest beer companies in the country, ranking third and occupying 16% of the beer market.
Asahi Beer is the leader in the beer market, occupying 36.4% of the market and is the core company of the Sumitomo Group.
Kirin Beer is second, occupying 33.8% of the market and is the core company of the Mitsubishi Group.
Sapporo Beer is fourth, occupying 11.4% of the market and is the core company of the Fuji Group.
The fifth place is occupied by Orion, with a market share of only 0.9%, at the bottom of the list.
The remaining meagre market share is occupied by a small number of local beer brands.
Although Orion is ranked fifth, it does not even have 1% of the market share, and is just there for the numbers.
Of the top four beer companies, three are the core companies of major conglomerates, and only Suntory has not yet entered a conglomerate.
Xia Yu wanted to get a piece of the island's huge 50 billion-litre beer market every year, and the company with the lowest risk and least difficulty was, and only, Suntory.
Therefore, Matsumoto Nozomu and Wang Qi had secretly acquired Suntory, spending a total of 30.78 billion yen to secretly purchase 32.93 million shares, accounting for 7.84% of the company's total share capital.
However, because Suntory and Sankyo Seisakusho are not the same size, and the beer sector and industrial sector are not comparable markets, they wanted to avoid being too conspicuous. Matsumoto Nozomu and Wang Qi and the others studied and discussed the acquisition method for Suntory, which was different from the acquisition of Sankyo Seisakusho. Instead of disclosing 5.1% of the shares on the surface, they completely concealed it.
Xia Yu approved of their choice.
Overall, Xia Yu was very satisfied with the work that Songben Wang and Wang Qi had done over the past month or so.
'Well done, you haven't disappointed me.'
'The acquisition of Suntory and Sankyo can continue as planned, I won't interfere.'
'As for the list of investments and acquisitions you have drawn up, I have circled two companies, namely Lead Motor and Nippon Electric, which you can acquire at a premium of two to three times. I only need as much equity as possible, and the company must remain stable.'
Xia Yu placed the report in front of Nozomu Matsumoto and instructed him with a faint smile.
Nozomu Matsumoto respectfully replied, 'Understood, I will make arrangements right away.'
...
Xia Yu had thought that everything was going well, but he never expected that Nozomu Matsumoto would urgently report a special situation to him just three days after his return.
Something had happened with the acquisition of Suntory!
