Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Zhang Weiguo really didn't expect that the acquisition team could give him such a big surprise. Looking at the number 36.43% on the document, the smile on Zhang Weiguo's face was like an AK firing, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

The acquisition team actually took over 36.43% of Toshiba’s shares. This is Toshiba!

Toshiba was founded in 1875 and has a long history of 99 years. As one of the representatives of Fuso's manufacturing industry, it is involved in fields including semiconductors, chips, storage, energy, infrastructure, etc.

And according to Zhang Weiguo's memories from his previous life, Toshiba would be known as one of the three major home appliance giants in Japan, along with Panasonic and Sharp, in the next few decades.

Toshiba also has profound attainments in machine tool manufacturing.

Zhang Weiguo had seen such a news in his previous life. In 1987, American congressmen smashed Toshiba products to protest Toshiba's violation of the American ban on exporting high-precision machine tools to the Red Bear.

At that time, Toshiba violated the "Battalion ban" and illegally sold high-precision machine tools to the Red Bear. After the matter was exposed, America imposed very severe sanctions on Toshiba.

Not only was a $150 billion fine imposed, but a 100% tariff was also imposed on all Toshiba products, and all American companies were banned from importing any goods from Toshiba for five years, and all Toshiba factories in the Americas were closed.

It was this sanction that directly caused the once invincible Toshiba to begin to decline, and decades later, it was acquired by a Japanese consortium.

Of course, this all happened later. By that time, Zhang Weiguo had already gotten off the bus and ran away, so he wouldn't have cared about Toshiba's life or death.

The important thing now is to use the status of a major shareholder to place his own people in Toshiba, and use whatever means he can to get as much high-tech technology and products from Toshiba as possible, and then directly sell the shares to make a fortune.

After all, in the 80s, Toshiba's stock price would grow rapidly, reaching billion yen at its peak. Before the real estate bubble, the yen was still quite valuable.

"Hongren, you did a great job this time. After we finish, I will notify the finance department and send out your bonuses immediately."

"Thank you, boss." Tang Hongren left Zhang Weiguo's office with a smile.

It's okay to let Tang Hongren acquire the company's stocks, but if he wants to get technology and high-tech products from Toshiba, he needs new talents.

After a moment, Zhang Weiguo picked up the phone and said, "Lin Sanyi will come to my office soon."

Lin San is an expert in monitoring people and providing security. Zhang Weiguo plans to ask Lin San to recommend a few talents in this area. Combined with Zhang Weiguo's status as a major shareholder, it would be a simple matter to arrange a few spies in Toshiba's research department.

Half an hour later, Lin San, dressed in a flower-growing security uniform, came to Zhang Weiguo's office.

"Lin San is here, find a place to sit." Zhang Weiguo also poured Lin San a cup of tea.

Lin San was also one of Zhang Weiguo's confidants. Zhang Weiguo did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Lin San, is there anyone in our Flower Gardening Security who is good at obtaining intelligence?"

"???" Lin San was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and asked directly: "Boss, you are not talking about a spy, right?"

"Ahem..." Zhang Weiguo coughed twice and said in a serious tone, "What spy? This is called intelligence acquisition. Besides, isn't it normal for me to get some technology from the company I control?"

"After all that, he's still a spy!" Lin San complained in his heart, but still gave Zhang Weiguo face: "Boss, how many people do you need?"

Zhang Weiguo thought for a moment, tapped the table, and then said, "Seven people!"

Toshiba is such a big company. If they don't hire more people to join it, it would be a waste of the billions of dollars spent on it!

According to the data submitted by Tang Hongren, the acquisition team spent a total of US$34.6878 billion on Toshiba alone.

After hearing Zhang Weiguo's request, Lin San immediately replied: "Don't worry, boss. I will go back and find someone for you. They are definitely experts in this field."

"Well, just contact Lin Qing later. He will help these people arrange their identities and tasks."

"Don't worry, this mission is not very dangerous, it just takes a long time. You need to make this clear to everyone you know," Zhang Weiguo added.

"Do not worry!"

After Lin San left, Zhang Weiguo picked up the phone and called the current chairman of Toshiba.

"Hello, I'm Taro Toda."

"..."

Zhang Weiguo didn't say anything extra and directly told Taro Higashida that he had already acquired 36.43% of Toshiba's shares and asked for a board meeting in three days.

After Zhang Weiguo hung up the phone, the confused Higashida Taro called the manager and lawyer of the risk control department over. To be honest, if Zhang Weiguo hadn't revealed his identity and taken a fax, Higashida Taro would have definitely thought that the other party was a liar.

After the lawyer confirmed the authenticity of the fax, he sneaked out because he didn't want to bear the wrath of Toda Taro.

"Baga! You idiot, the other party has become our major shareholder and you have no idea. Now pack up your things and get out of here right now. You are fired." Taro Higashida angrily threw the faxed document at the manager of the risk control department and, ignoring his pleas, ordered the security guard to kick him out.

Then Taro Higashida called in a few of his trusted subordinates.

"Can everyone tell me how to solve this problem?"

The HR manager spoke first: "Chairman, let's take a look at the situation first. Although Zhang Weiguo now owns the largest share of Toshiba, he does not have absolute control. If the other party is here to acquire Toshiba, we certainly cannot let him succeed. The Fuso government will not allow a Chinese to control Toshiba. But if the other party is purely looking to make money, I think we should fight for it."

"According to the information we have obtained, Zhang Weiguo currently has dual citizenship of America and Hong Kong Island. If the other party is really here with the intention of acquiring us, I believe they will definitely be well prepared," said the security minister.

"..."

After listening to everyone's speeches, Higashida Taro finally chose to wait and see. Of course, Higashida Taro was not unprepared. In the past three days, he contacted many shareholders who supported him and started to raise funds. If Zhang Weiguo really came with the intention of acquiring Toshiba, there would be nothing to say, just do it. But if Zhang Weiguo was just looking for money, then we could still talk about it.

However, what worries Higashida Taro more is the people behind Zhang Weiguo. Higashida Taro does not believe that the Zhonghua Group alone has the ability to come up with so much cash to acquire so many shares of Toshiba. Maybe he is just a pawn pushed by the people behind him.
