America’s Big Hero

Chapter 422:

Fumio Sato didn't know why Xiao En said the same word, but he just heard a few words casually and knew that there was a lot of twists and turns in it.

As for what exactly happened, just think about what happened to you!

The huge Toshiba, after finding a loophole, the other party will enter as soon as they want, let alone Boss Li.

I don't even notice that kind of person!

Being targeted by a vicious dog like Xiao En... a demon, there will be no good end anyway.

As for the Husky Energy mentioned by the two, Fumio Sato was not even interested.

Toshiba's business does not include energy, at least not for the time being, that is Mitsubishi's business.

(Mitsubishi Oil was founded in 1931)

It took a long time before the two of them stopped arguing and brought the topic back to Toshiba.

Although Toshiba is divided into many business departments and many subsidiaries, it is listed on the stock market as a whole.

Sean needs to get 800 million US dollars in cash, and the remaining 1.7 billion must be converted into equity.

This operation is actually quite laborious. It is extremely complicated to evaluate the market value of its subsidiaries, which also includes the ownership of many patented technologies.

The ownership structure can only be discussed after everything is settled.

Specifically how many shares Sean will occupy and how many rights he will exercise.

If it's fast, it can be done within a year. Fumio Sato thought for a while and replied.

Nonsense! Sean waved his hand, For a year, I still care about the little money in your hands?

Fumio Sato:! ! !

Is this a little money? This is 2.5 billion!

I want it fast, the faster the better. Sean said impatiently.

Fumio Sato opened his mouth, feeling unreasonable, and could only look at Shen Bi for help.

Can these three businesses be separated and listed separately? Shen Bi asked after thinking about it.

His vision for Sean, or rather his luck, was very optimistic.

Don't look at this kid as ignorant... Well, it can't be said that, he can reach the level of a master when it comes to crime.

Such an uneducated and rude guy has never lost money in business, and the industry he chooses has a high rate of return.

According to the theory that winners are right, Shen Bi believes that the future development of these three businesses will be very good.

In particular, storage business, notebook business, and chip manufacturing are all interrelated.

This also involves the ownership of many technical patents. Fumio Sato was a little embarrassed. It is not impossible to split the listing, good or bad.

The size of the company is small, but the assets are dispersed, and the security and risk resistance capabilities are higher.

Before, Mitsui wanted to separate the machine tool division separately, and if they wanted to pursue it, they would go bankrupt directly.

Of course, this kind of deceit must be done with the understanding of the US government in private, otherwise it is a provocation.

Well, I like patents! Sean's eyes lit up, All the relevant patents are brought to the new company, which happens to be bigger, otherwise I'm afraid that 17's funds will end up occupying too many shares in the company!

I don't have energy to waste on management.

The corner of Fumio Sato's mouth twitched, normal people couldn't say such words.

If you are really optimistic about the prospects of the industry, shouldn't you try to control as many shares as possible out of the greedy instinct of capitalists!

Sean is very possessive, but that is based on 100% certainty.

He clearly remembered that after the rise of the East, the most powerful business of Toshiba in later generations also disappeared, and he was afraid of getting stuck.

Then do it like this! Sean made a decision directly.

Fumio Sato opened his mouth wide, looking stunned. He wanted to trick Xiao En into investing in Toshiba, not just because of insufficient funds!

If it is purely a matter of funds, Toshiba is backed by the Mitsui consortium, and 2.5 billion is hurting Toshiba, but it is not the case for the Mitsui consortium!

He is in order to survive the crisis in front of him!

Look at your hesitant look! Sean cast a glance at Fumio Sato, spat disdainfully and said, You, including Mitsui behind you, are fucking planning to pull me into Toshiba's chariot, and then replace me Let's ward off disaster!

Even if I help you hide the matter of the five-axis machine tool today, it will be exposed sooner or later, and it will still be troublesome. Hmph, I'm playing such a small game with me.

Fumio Sato was not embarrassed to be called out by Xiao En, and knelt on the ground with a plop, I also ask Mr. Xiao En for advice, please!

Lifting his foot and kicking Fumio Sato, Sean said: I think it's more than that. Pulling me is equivalent to pulling on the umbrella. With your Japanese face, you won't be able to fight outside at that time. How many ugly things have you done under my banner!

Now I want to split up, disrupt your plan!

Fumio Sato didn't dare to defend himself when he was called out, but kowtowed again.

I want 2.5 billion. That's in cash, and it doesn't include these messy services. Toshiba or Mitsui want more, so what chips are you going to offer?

Your Excellency Xiao En, please tell me that as long as we Toshiba can do it, there will be no difference! Fumio Sato learned the lesson this time and said directly.

Of course, only Toshiba, excluding Mitsui.

First, the five-axis machine tool reselling problem can be solved. The method is to split it up directly this time. Second, I will help you with the US government. Don't worry. Speaking of this, Sean pondered, The price ...

Sean rubbed his chin. Just after arguing about Husky, Sean couldn't help thinking about oil.

How much crude oil is consumed in Japan?

According to statistics, the daily consumption of crude oil last year was 4.8 million barrels per day.

(In 1990, Japan's oil consumption was 5.3 million barrels per day)

However, Toshiba does not have an oil business, and the Mitsui consortium is not involved in much. The bulk of Japan's oil business is in the Mitsubishi consortium. Fumio Sato thought for a while and continued: And it is very troublesome.

The oil business is not only profitable, but also the lifeblood of economic development. Generally, long-term cooperation and long-term contracts are signed. The partners are fixed. If you want to get involved, you have to replace the predecessor. It is very difficult and very offending.

How offensive, is it as offensive as a Harpoon missile! Sean sneered, tilting his head to look at Fumio Sato.

Fumio Sato trembled uncontrollably.

He really wanted to tell Sean, we are talking about business, hey, can you replace missiles and other things at every turn!

It's scary, isn't it!

I know the tricks here better than you. The oil business is there. The oil field is there. Who can occupy it depends on whose fists are strong and who has enough firepower! Xiao En said lightly: The oil in the mud The industry used to only cooperate with Anglo-Dutch Shell, but now, half of the business has been taken away by Rockefeller.

Why?

Because Luni is now under my protection, they have to give up some of their benefits!

If you don't accept it, then you can see if he can manage the oil field well!

Don't talk about oil fields, I don't want a share of the pie, I won't be able to deliver any oil you have!

Sean's naked robber posture made Fumio Sato completely at a loss for what to say.

Old Shen, tell me, where should I go to grab an oil field? As he spoke, Xiao En himself became excited, rubbing his hands back and forth, his face flushed.

I don't know why, but when he mentions robbery, he gets excited!

Shen Bi rolled his eyes, It's up to you, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, it depends on how big an oil field you are going to grab.

Shen Bi said indifferently: Actually, you should consider the cost issue more. What matters to the profit of the oil field is whether the extraction and transportation are convenient.

That's what you said. After thinking for a while, Sean called for a world map.

Seeing Xiao En scratching the map with his hand, Fumio Sato was in a bad mood.

You swipe and swipe again and again, making money is really that easy!

Sean: No, it's easier than you think!

This time it was mainly sold to the Japanese, so...the oil fields in South America are not good, they are too far away, and the ones in Africa are also eliminated.

Sean muttered softly, Then the rest is the Middle East or Southeast Asia.

I remember that there is a war in Yemen. Do you want to grab an oil field?

There is oil in Yemen? Shen Bi was curious, Isn't it very poor?

Yes, the reserves are not small, but they have not been developed. Now that the oil market is sluggish, they will be sold if they are developed. Sean said casually, Actually, there are more in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman. However, everyone has been cooperating well, so I am sorry to rob them.

Robbery, what an understatement!

Fumio Sato was full of envy!

That's right. Now 20% of their oil transportation business is in your hands. The main reason is that the number of tankers can't keep up. In addition, their original transportation contract has not expired, so it's not easy to intervene. It seems like we are barbaric. Shen Bi nodded in agreement, he knew these data better than Xiao En.

I don't know when it started, Shen Bi also took it for granted to use force to grab business.

The main thing is convenience, it saves too much trouble than negotiating!

The driving force behind human progress is laziness!

Southeast Asia. Shen Bi looked at the map and said, The distance is shorter and the transportation cost is low. In addition, ADM has approached you many times to develop business together in Southeast Asia. You are too busy, so you turned me down.

That's right, I just want to go to Hong Kong Island, sell the Husky to Boss Li, and deal with the backlog of things in Southeast Asia by the way. Sean nodded, swung his fingers around, and finally landed in Malaysia, That's it!

The only thing is that the cost of exploiting offshore oil fields is a bit higher.

It's okay, you forgot, Husky has an offshore oil well platform manufacturing business, and the technology is not bad. Shen Bi reminded.

Huh? Sean was taken aback, what else?

Shen Bi rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to talk to Sean, you f*ck told me you don't know about the key support projects you decided when you completed the acquisition!

That's fine too, split the Husky up and sell it to Boss Li! Sean slapped his thigh and made the decision.

Boss Li: Have you considered my feelings?

Shen Bi moved his butt to distance himself from Sean, are you still alone?

He felt sad for Boss Li, and he didn't know how that guy got into trouble with such an inhuman thing like you!

Too doggy!

The matter was decided in a few words, and Xiao En looked up at Fumio Sato again, In this way, I will help you solve the trouble of the five-axis machine tool in the United States, and the price is 100,000 barrels of daily crude oil purchases.

Don't tell me that Mitsui can't do it. This fucking only accounts for 2.5% of Japan's consumption in the United States and Japan. If you don't give me such a share, you will look down on me, Sean!

Besides, buying someone else's oil is not buying, so why can't you buy mine!

Is my Sean's oil hot!

This, isn't this too much? Fumio Sato opened his mouth wide, Your Excellency Sean, I really can't decide on this, 100,000 barrels per day, that is a daily purchase quota of 1 million US dollars, I can only pass on the news.

Sean was taken aback, 1 million a day?

so much? !

Damn, those who sell crude oil are really big dogs, and the money comes in so fast!

I want to join too!

Okay, you pass the news! Sean knew that this was not something a 'little man' like Fumio Sato could decide.

That's it, you separate the three businesses, establish a Toshiba Electronics, and complete the listing as soon as possible. As for the shares... I will suffer a little loss, so let's calculate it at 2.2 billion U.S. dollars. Sean said with a heartbroken face.

Fumio Sato was taken aback, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart, but he was not sure, so he could only ask cautiously: Then the cash is only 300 million, right? Okay, I know.

Sean tilted his head and looked at Fumio Sato, the corners of his mouth slowly hanging, The cash is still 800 million!

Fumio Sato: ...

Exceeding. Fumio Sato said carefully.

Nonsense, you turn cash into shares. I don't know when I will get it. Don't consider the utilization rate of funds, don't consider inflation. If you get the money earlier, I will make hundreds of millions by myself. ! Sean scolded unceremoniously: My Sean's name appears on the shareholder list, how can you not use it to brag, and the money you will harvest in the stock market will only be fucking more!

I hate it when others take advantage of me! Sean grabbed Fumio Sato by the collar and pulled him in front of him, Also, don't use the banner of a protective umbrella to trick people from far and wide, otherwise, I won't let your goods get out of the Sea of ​​Japan. !

Sean let Fumio Sato push away, and said angrily, Capitalists don't have any good things, they always want to use other people's money to plug their holes!

Fumio Sato sat on the ground, looking at Xiao En with a mournful face, how could a person be so shameless?

Yes, you are not taking it, you are robbing other people's money to plug your own hole.

What are you looking at, I, Sean, never steal money from the poor! Sean said with a grimace, he couldn't be polite to these devils, if you were polite, they would go further and further, I, Sean, only rob rich people's money !

I'm doing justice for the heavens!

This is justice from heaven!

Understand!

Fumio Sato left, a little disheartened when he left.

Of course, if you say you are dissatisfied, there are, and if you say you are unsuccessful, you don't.

Sean doesn't feel any guilt, even if he puts aside his personal feelings about not liking Little Japan, Fumio Sato's rhetoric, the final result is not sure whether Toshiba has made a profit, but it is definitely not a loss!

Although the 800 million cash has to be paid out, as he said, the company after the split has a large number of shares of its own, and the channel to enter the United States has been completely opened.

At that time, Toshiba will definitely maximize this convenience. For example, the company is registered directly in the United States, and the company name is changed to American Toshiba.

Jointly, other products can also receive some joint preferential treatment.

In the end, it was re-listed, and after a round of financing, even if the price-earnings ratio was only 10 times, the funds raised would far exceed the money given to itself, so it was still profitable.

In addition, the trouble of machine tools can be regarded as completely freed. Although the oil import business has to be paid, it is still the same sentence, whose oil is not bought.

I also promised the safety of the oil route.

This book must be sympathetic, if I don't trouble you, why is it not a favor?

Who dares to say no!

Yes, when I think of it, there is Mitsubishi!

Isn't Mitsubishi engaged in oil, look for their tankers, a few will go missing tomorrow!

In the end, it's easy for others to get rid of the most difficult bone to crack. Others don't have such a big appetite.

Including General Electric, it is more likely to be a business cooperation in the end.

Jack Welch is different from himself, he is a professional manager, and the manager is not fighting and killing, but a man of the world.

For example, some of Toshiba's businesses are handed over to General Electric for agency, such as forming an international business alliance to cover each other and jointly develop the market. There are many ways to go.

In fact, the two sides could cooperate before. Orderly competition is much better than disorderly competition. What is lacking is a proper 'opportunity'. Whoever seizes this opportunity will gain the upper hand in cooperation!

Now, the opportunity has fallen into the hands of others, and Toshiba can only respond passively.

Of course, it’s not a disadvantage. After all, there are many people who come to cooperate this time, and Toshiba has a lot of room for choice.

So, crisis, crisis, danger is also an opportunity!

Don't look at Fumio Sato looking disheartened when he left, it was for Sean to see, and when he went back, all he had to do was praise.

None of this has anything to do with Sean, and he doesn't care.

In fact, what Sean didn't know was that after the Toshiba incident broke out in his previous life, Toshiba also suffered huge criticism. Everyone thought that Toshiba was going to die.

But the final result was that the machine tool business department was hit hard, and then...

The stock market soared 67%!

suffer?

If it doesn't exist, the consortium behind it has a deal, and the only one who suffers is leeks!

Fumio Sato left, Shen Bi's smile was very good, the smile on his face was like a chrysanthemum, in one word, beautiful!

When he was on Hong Kong Island back then, even though the people on Hong Kong Island called him a big class leader and a doer, in the circle of professional managers, he was even worse than Fumio Sato!

What is the size of HSBC, what is the size of Toshiba!

But look now, tsk tsk!

Just think about it.

Such is the nature of backgrounds!

Sean's assets are definitely not as good as HSBC's. Don't look at Sean's tormenting HSBC, but compared to assets, HSBC can easily beat Sean by dozens of blocks...

This is also the reason why the loss of 1.5 billion has no effect.

As a banking system, HSBC is huge and threatening, but not fatal.

Switching to a protective umbrella is the complete opposite, less threatening, but deadly!

Faced with an unreasonable person, as long as it is not too much, normal people will choose to compromise.

Therefore, it is much more comfortable to be Xiao En's younger brother than to be HSBC's working younger brother.

...

The news that Toshiba chose to submit quickly spread throughout Japan's upper class society!

Although I don't know the reason, the pressure still came to Mitsubishi and Hitachi.

In Sean's claim for compensation, Toshiba was the main one, so whoever let it be caught.

The second is Mitsubishi, with a compensation amount of 700 million US dollars, and finally Hitachi, with 300 million US dollars!

Just when Mitsubishi thought that Sean would come to him immediately, he suddenly heard the news that the umbrella fleet had left, and it was said that they had returned to Southeast Asia.

And Sean didn't come to the door as they judged, but stayed quietly in the suburbs of Tokyo.

The unexpected silence not only didn't make Mitsubishi people relax, but made them more nervous!

Still the same sentence, is Sean a good person?

Sean: Of course!

One day, two days...five days, no news at all, anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States is still so high, and the stocks of the three companies have fallen by more than 20%.

In the midst of this tension, a message was reported layer by layer, and finally reached the Mitsubishi Friday Club.

(It is often said that Mitsubishi is a chaebol. It was disintegrated after World War II. Later, an unofficial organization called Mitsubishi Friday Club was established. There are 28 core members, and Mitsubishi has about 500 member companies. Companies with Mitsubishi in their names There are about 400 companies. In 2021, a total of 8 Mitsubishi chaebol companies will enter the world's top 500.)

Speaking of which, Mitsubishi is on the same level as Mitsui.

It was Mitsubishi Estate that wanted to buy Rockefeller Center, Sean sued Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and this time it was Mitsubishi Petroleum that went wrong...

Three 50,000-ton oil tankers have lost contact! !

What does it mean to be out of contact? The president of Mitsubishi Petroleum squinted at the reporting subordinate.

The oil tanker Sanhe was the first to be discovered. It was supposed to arrive today, but it didn't follow. Then I found out that I couldn't get in touch. The secretary didn't dare to lift his head, and said in a low voice: Then the people below contacted other tankers and found Two other ships are missing.

Why did I only find out now! Mitsubishi Petroleum President Kotaro Kamikawa's forehead was throbbing with veins!

The secretary bowed his head and dared not speak!

Okay, I don't want to hear any excuses, and immediately let other tankers find the nearest port to call.

Choose a bigger port! Kotaro Kamikawa thought of something, and immediately instructed.

The secretary hurried out, but Kotaro Kamikawa frowned. The tanker sailed at sea, and it was inevitable that there would be some problems. It is not uncommon to lose contact or be late for a short time.

But the problem is that the three oil tankers are in completely different sea areas and routes, and all of them have lost contact. It would be strange if it wasn't man-made!

Kotaro Kamikawa frowned as he inquired about the routes and whereabouts of the three lost oil tankers.

One is in the Pacific Ocean, one is in Southeast Asia, and the other is in the Indian Ocean... The other party has the power to make the three tankers lose contact one after another. The power is definitely at the national level!

But it is impossible for any country to seize the three Japanese tankers for no reason.

Does the person who does it still need to think about it?

Baga, Mitsubishi Real Estate and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' horse manure caused trouble, why did you find me Mitsubishi Petroleum!! Kotaro Uekawa punched the table hard, picked up the phone and dialed out!

As soon as he got connected, Uekawa Kotaro scolded his head and face, and the other side of the scolding was stunned, and finally said, I tell you, find that person to solve the trouble immediately, and don't damn us Mitsubishi Petroleum!

Can't cure foreigners, can't cure you!
