Chapter 228 Hitachi's Resistance

Hitachi, Ltd., as a Japanese enterprise that Zhang Weiguo had targeted for a long time, must have its own unique features, otherwise it would not have been on Zhang Weiguo's mind for so long and made it the first target that must be acquired.

The history of Hitachi can be traced back to 1912, when it was founded as a company that relied on electric motors. With the continuous development of Fuso, Hitachi has also been expanding its business scope. By 1966, it had already had considerable advantages in many fields such as power equipment, electronic equipment, and industrial machinery.

At the same time, Hitachi Manufacturing has also made remarkable progress in the fields of electronic microscopes and digital computers. In 1940, Hitachi Manufacturing successfully manufactured the first microscope in Fuso. In 1957, Hitachi Manufacturing even manufactured the first digital computer in Fuso - the parametric computer.

At the same time, according to the information collected by the intelligence team, Hitachi Manufacturing now has a wide range of businesses not only in Fuso, but also around the world. The company itself is involved in many fields. It is also at the forefront of the world in the fields of motors, elevators, compressors, etc.

Moreover, Hitachi, Ltd. itself made a lot of contributions to Fuso in World War II, but the most important reason that made Zhang Weiguo the first to make up his mind to acquire Hitachi, Ltd. was its own equity structure.

According to common sense, a country will always provide some kind of protection for its large domestic enterprises. Your internal fighting is your own business, but if foreign companies really come to acquire large local enterprises, the government may come to the rescue.

But Hitachi, Ltd. is different. Due to Japan's defeat in World War II, although Hitachi, Ltd. is still a Japanese company, its shares cannot be fully controlled by the Japanese.

Even if Zhang Weiguo really wanted to acquire companies like Mitsui, Toshiba, and Mitsubishi, he would not be able to obtain absolute controlling rights and control. But Hitachi is different. As long as Zhang Weiguo is willing to spend money, there is a high probability that he will be able to acquire it.

As for other Fuso companies, Zhang Weiguo's goal is to develop technology first and make money second. Although he cannot control the other party, he can still tear a piece of meat from it.

Although Hitachi Ltd. suffered heavy losses in this economic crisis, it never thought that anyone would want to acquire them.

At that time, Hitachi, Ltd. had strong capital, and there were few companies that could really take it over. Even after experiencing the economic crisis and shrinking stock prices, it was still huge.

Second, everyone is having a hard time in the current economic crisis. If anyone has money, they must acquire Hitachi! Isn't this a lose-lose situation?

However, what Hitachi Manufacturing did not expect was that there really was a guy with deep pockets and sufficient cash flow who took a fancy to them.

"Chairman, something bad has happened. Someone is buying up shares of Hitachi, Ltd." The manager of the risk control department rushed to the office of the chairman of Hitachi, Ltd. and even forgot to knock on the door.

The manager of the risk control department is named Ichiro Ozawa. He joined Hitachi, Ltd. very early. Due to his outstanding work, he was arranged by the former chairman to be a member of the risk control department. As time went by, after outlasting the former manager, he successfully became the manager of the risk control department.

Ichiro Ozawa, who originally thought he could make great achievements, encountered the outbreak of the economic crisis not long after taking office. Ichiro Ozawa, who was already depressed, discovered the abnormality of Hitachi's stock a few days ago. Ichiro Ozawa, who did not take it seriously at first, led his men to fight a big fight with the guy who tried to acquire Hitachi, Ltd.

At first, the fight was going back and forth, but today, Ichiro Ozawa suddenly found that the opponent was like experiencing a technological explosion, with a sudden surge in firepower. Finally, Ichiro Ozawa could not stand it anymore and had to come to the chairman for help.

As for why Ichiro Ozawa was able to fight back and forth with the flower planting acquisition department, it was all done for him to see. In addition to testing the depth of Hitachi Manufacturing, it was also to prepare for subsequent acquisitions.

Of course, this is just a battle in the stock market. Several groups have secretly contacted those small shareholders and plan to directly buy out their shares in Hitachi, Ltd.

"Baka!" The frightened Okamoto Yokomura cursed directly at Ozawa Ichiro who broke in.

Ichiro Ozawa didn't care about Okamoto Yokomura's anger and quickly said again: "Chairman, someone is buying our Hitachi shares. The other party is very aggressive. Our risk department can't stand it anymore."

"Baka! Bang——"

Okamoto Yokomura, who was already furious, slapped Ozawa Ichiro in the face when he heard the bad news.

"What are you doing here! Trash!" Okamoto Yokomura was so angry that he pointed at Ichiro Ozawa's nose and cursed.

After cursing for about ten minutes, Okamoto Yokomura asked, "What's the situation now? Do you know who the other party is?"

Ichiro Ozawa endured the pain and replied, "Chairman, we don't know who the other party is, but their offensive is very fierce. At first, our risk department could still withstand it, but today, we don't know where the funds from the other party came from, and we were defeated repeatedly. If there is no capital intervention, the scattered shares in the market will be eaten up by the other party."

Okamoto Yokomura looked at Ozawa Ichiro and asked angrily: "Baga, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I..." How could Ichiro Ozawa answer? Did he want to show off in front of the acquirer?

Looking at Ichiro Ozawa who remained silent, Okamoto Yokomura asked again: "How much money do you need to withstand the other party's acquisition?"

"At least 5 million US dollars." Ichiro Ozawa said cautiously.

"Baga, you idiot, 5 million US dollars, do you know how much money that is?"

Okamoto Yokomura was furious. What a joke! Although the Calendar Manufacturing Company had already paid a large sum of liquidated damages before, it now couldn't come up with a cash flow of 5 million US dollars. This made Okamoto Yokomura angry, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think.

"Which company is acquiring Hitachi? We need $5 million to fight back. The other party will definitely pay more."

But no matter what he thinks, as the current chairman of Hitachi, Ltd., Okamoto Yokomura still has to find a way to solve the problem.

"Go back and take command right now. Make sure you hold on." Okamoto Yokomura ordered Ichiro Ozawa.

"This..." Seeing that Okamoto Yokomura would not give him funds, Ichiro Ozawa knew how to resist. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Helpless, Ichiro Ozawa had to say carefully: "Chairman, without funds, it will be difficult for us to resist the other party's acquisition!"

"Baga! What use is there for you? I'll find a way to get the funding. The company will allocate 3000 million US dollars to you later. You have to hold on."

"Chairman, this...you'd better raise the funds as soon as possible." Ichiro Ozawa looked at Yokomura Okamoto helplessly.

How is this possible? With the opponent's fierce offensive, 3000 million US dollars would be burned up in just two days.
