บท 1257: Chapter 1257: Let's just hold on for now
Which company does Jiuding Securities really want to acquire?
Or do they really want to acquire both?
Or are they just trying to make a profit by maliciously sniping?
This series of questions popped up in many people's minds.
But Matsumoto Yu will definitely not come out to answer their questions. Only until the end of the moment will the audience know the truth.
...
'It's never-ending!'
'We are now in a completely passive situation!'
'This is definitely not going to work!'
Among the Mitsui family, after learning the situation, Mitsui Genta finally could not help but get angry, while Fujiwara Ichiro was silent as a mouse.
Shoichiro Toyoda, who had been called in again, leaned back on the sofa, his face looking very bad.
On one side, Aichi Steel was just getting started and hadn't achieved much, and on the other side, there was a fire.
Although Nisshin Steel, which had caused the incident this time, had no business ties with the Toyota Group, it was after all part of the Nippon Steel camp and one of the peripheral companies under the Mitsui Financial Group.
If you trace it back to its source, it can still be linked to the Toyota Group. He definitely cannot say that he is not responsible at all.
However, if he is asked to go and save it again, that is absolutely impossible, as the Aichi Steel Company's rescue operation has not yet been completed!
So he simply kept quiet and waited to see what Mitsui Genta meant.
After Mitsui Genta had vented his anger for a while, he saw that the two men were silent and couldn't help but frown.
However, after calming down, he also felt the thorny nature of this matter.
If we really continue to insure it, it will never end. Facing Jiuding Securities, which has a huge amount of capital, we will always be on the defensive, which is definitely a huge disadvantage.
But if we fight Jiuding Securities head-on, it will be too much trouble. Not only is the risk high, there is no benefit. It will just let several other consortia in the island country reap the benefits.
This has put him in a dilemma.
For a while, the three people in the living room fell silent, and the atmosphere gradually became dull.
Just then, Fujiwara Ichiro, who had been bowing his head, mustered up the courage to look up at Mitsui Genta and say, 'President, I think we should give up Nisshin Steel. If we keep fighting against them, they won't stop as long as Jiuding Securities doesn't achieve its goal.'
'In that case, we might as well give in and let them have Nisshin Steel. After all, this company is not particularly important to us, and our stake is not very high.'
'After Nisshin Steel is acquired, I am willing to resign!'
After saying this, Fujiwara Ichiro looked at Mitsui Genta with a determined face, but in fact his heart was tightly clenched and his heartbeat kept accelerating.
He was taking a gamble, betting that he had guessed the president's thoughts correctly.
There were some things that the president was not suitable to say on his own initiative, but as the president of Nippon Steel, he was now the most suitable person among the three to say them.
Shoichiro Toyoda narrowed his eyes slightly, gave Ichiro Fujiwara a deep look, and then suggested to Mitsui Gen, 'Mitsui-kun, I agree with Mr. Fujiwara's suggestion.'
'Our siege of the Tiangong Automobile Group can be declared broken. Since Jiuding Securities is determined to buy an iron and steel company, we will just have to bear with it. For the time being, it will do us no good to fight to the death.'
'Behind Jiuding Securities is the Jiuding consortium, which is very powerful, but it currently has few assets in the island country and has few vulnerabilities, so it is difficult for us to deal it a serious blow.'
'Another thing is that Jiuding Securities' money belongs to its investors, so it doesn't mind spending it, but our funds all have a big purpose, so it's not cost-effective to continue fighting with it.'
'Jiuding Securities has just raised such a huge amount of money, and it is just showing off its wealth. To use a Chinese saying, we should temporarily avoid the limelight.'
'Judging from the current style of operation of Jiuding Securities, they will definitely spend a large sum of money. If they provoke public anger, it will not be too late for us to take action.'
After pretending to think for a while, Mitsui Genta said with deep approval, 'You're right, Toyoda-kun, your analysis is very accurate.'
'In that case, let's temporarily endure and withdraw, and withdraw from Nisshin Steel.'
'But!'
'Aichi Steel must be saved, otherwise it will have a huge negative impact on us!'
He had already mobilised the resources of the consortium to defend Aichi Steel, and Toyoda Shoichiro had also mobilised his forces. The news must have spread, and if this failed, then he and the Mitsui consortium would lose face.
Nisshin Steel could be strategically abandoned, but Aichi Steel absolutely could not!
If Jiuding Securities would not give up on this, he would definitely fight to the end.
'Well, don't worry, I will also increase my efforts on this side, there will definitely be no problem,'
Shoichiro Toyoda nodded emphatically.
Genta Mitsui nodded slightly, and then his gaze returned to Ichiro Fujiwara. A satisfied look flashed in his eyes, and his impression of Ichiro Fujiwara had changed somewhat.
He has the ability to read people's expressions and take responsibility, and is also a person who can be put to good use.
'Fujiwara-kun, since the matter is related to Nippon Steel, you will handle it. Jiuding Securities is still holding the shares of Aichi Steel, so find a way to get them back.'
'Understood!'
'I will do my best to complete the task and won't let you down!'
Fujiwara-Ichiro was pleasantly surprised to see that Mitsui Genta did not mention his punishment, and he secretly thought that he had bet correctly. He hurriedly responded loudly.
He secretly decided in his heart that he must get this right this time, and only in this way could he successfully reverse the bad impression left in the president's mind.
'Go, I'll see how you do.'
'President, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first.'
'Go!'
'Mitsui-kun, I'll take my leave too.'
'Okay, if there's anything else, we'll call each other.'
Mitsui Genta got up and saw the two off, keeping an eye on their car until it drove out of sight.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold gleam in his eyes, as he muttered, 'Jiuding Group...Xia Yu...We need to step up surveillance...'
After a moment's pause, Mitsui Genta turned back inside, picked up his samurai sword from the wall, and headed for the back garden...
Just as the stock market was in an uproar.
In a secluded teahouse in Tokyo.
Matsumoto Yu looked at Fujiwara Ichiro, who was kneeling opposite him, with a smile on his face.
When he received Ichiro Fujiwara's invitation, Matsumoto Yu was very surprised, but after reporting to Xia Yu, he accepted the invitation as advised, so he came to keep the appointment.
Ichiro Fujiwara's purpose, he guessed before coming here.
As to whether it is actually the same as he guessed, the answer will be revealed soon.
'Ichiro, if the people outside know that the two of us are sitting together, they will definitely be shocked, don't you think so?'
Matsumoto Yu said teasingly with a smile on his face.
Fujiwara Ichiro smiled and nodded: 'I think so.'
The tone of the two men's conversation was like that of old friends.
'So, what are you going to do about it, since you asked me here?'
Matsumoto Yu looked at Fujiwara Ichiro with a smile and said slowly.
Ichiro Fujiwara's smile faded, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke as if confessing, 'You should know the deeper reasons for what Nippon Steel did. The past is in the past, and our company has also suffered huge losses.'
'For us, the more customers, the better, so we have already planned to send someone to the Tiangong Automobile Group to discuss cooperation again.'
Although the words were soft, when spoken in this way, they did not lose much momentum.
But Matsumoto Yu didn't care about that.
Fujiwara Ichiro came to him on his own initiative, so he had to kill the momentum somehow to facilitate the next negotiation.
So Matsumoto Yu pretended to be confused and said doubtfully, 'Fujiwara-kun, I don't quite understand what you mean. We are simply optimistic about the steel industry and want to acquire several steel companies. This is just an individual action of our company, so you are worrying too much.'
Hearing this, Fujiwara Ichiro frowned, and a flame of anger flared up in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
He said in a deep voice, 'Matsumoto-kun, let's be honest. If we keep fighting like this, it won't do your company any good.'
'Although your company is powerful, if our entire consortium gets serious, what do you think will happen?'
'Of course, the reason we are able to sit here and drink tea right now is also because we have not reached that serious of a situation.'
'Our consortium is certainly not afraid of your company, but we just don't want to give other consortia an advantage for the time being, so we'll call a truce. What do you think?'
'Haha.'
'Fujiwara-kun, since you put it that way, of course I have no objection.'
'Nippon Steel has a huge business and many subsidiaries, and it's not bad to have Aichi Steel and Nisshin Steel as well. Transfer the equity of these two companies to us, and we promise not to keep an eye on Nippon Steel.'
Matsumoto Yu smiled after thinking for a moment.
Ichiro Fujiwara said without hesitation, 'Impossible. If you insist, I'll have to leave.'
'At most, we'll transfer the equity of Nisshin Steel to you, and all of your equity in Aichi Steel must be transferred to us.'
'This is the bottom line!'
After saying this, Ichiro Fujiwara looked at Matsumoto Yu with a determined face, his gaze unwavering, clearly expressing his attitude.
The two men stared at each other for a long time.
Matsumoto Yu realised that this was really the bottom line of Fujiwara Ichiro, or rather the bottom line of Nippon Steel and the Mitsui Group behind it.
Fortunately, this was the same as he had expected before coming here.
And he had originally only wanted to acquire Nisshin Steel, and the reason why he had provoked Aichi Steel to fight for the company in the first place was also for Nisshin Steel.
If Aichi Steel Corporation was not there, it would be several levels more difficult to get the shares of Nisshin Steel Corporation from Nippon Steel.
Ichiro Fujiwara was not made of clay. He had to show his attitude and get something in return.
'Okay, we are willing to give up the shares of Aichi Steel Corporation, but the price cannot be low. We have to be worthy of the investors by using such a large sum of money, and I cannot let our reputation be affected.'
'If we act, we must get a reward, otherwise we can only look for the next target.'
Ichiro Fujiwara's pupils shrank slightly, avoiding this sensitive topic: 'Acquisition negotiations are not my forte, and someone below will be in charge. Matsumoto-kun, please go back and arrange for someone to negotiate with our people.'
'No problem!'
'The negotiation will take place at our company, and the time will be set by you,'
Matsumoto Yu said directly.
Ichiro Fujiwara pondered for a moment, clenched his teeth, and nodded, saying, 'Okay, just in case there are any other unexpected events that would be bad for both of us, I suggest we set the time for tonight.'
'No problem.'
'Fujiwara-kun, if there's nothing else, I'll be going first.'
After saying this, Matsumoto Yu picked up his teacup and drank the tea in it, then stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes.
'Okay, take care!'
Watching Matsumoto Yu decisively leave, Fujiwara Ichiro clenched his fists and then released them.
'Phew...'
'Fortunately, the situation is not too bad. I'll leave the negotiations to someone else. I can't bear the pressure alone...'
