The Fukuhara family is worthy of being one of the core families of the Sanwa Foundation, and Fukuhara Kazuya's intelligence collection efficiency is very high.

The next day, detailed information about Ito-Yokado was sent to Xia Yu.

Seeing the information above, Xia Yu's brows furrowed, and he felt a little tricky.

The reason is that it is difficult for Ito-Yokado's shareholders to get involved.

There are only three shareholders in total.

The largest shareholder and controlling shareholder is Ito Kogyo Corporation, with a shareholding ratio of 53%, which is a company controlled by the Ito family, founded in 1971, is a real estate developer, not bad for money!

The second shareholder is Daiichi Life Insurance Company of the island nation, which is the second largest life insurance company in the island country and is an unlisted private company controlled by the Yano family.

Although First Life Insurance Company is not controlled by the six major consortia of the island country, it is engaged in insurance after all, and its cash flow is extremely terrifying, and it is also a difficult master, with a shareholding ratio of 26%.

The third largest shareholder is Mitsui Life Insurance Company, which is affiliated with the Mitsui Consortium at a glance and holds 21% of the shares.

In addition, Ito-Yokado's trade bank is Sakura Bank, which in turn is the core bank of the Mitsui Foundation.

As for 7-Eleven Retail Co., Ltd., it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ito-Yokado, which was established in 1974.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Xia Yu frowned slightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, thinking about how to deal with it.

Ito-Yokado is not listed, and the major shareholders are all wealthy people, so it is impossible for Xia Yu to come hard.

His original plan was to buy a portion of Ito-Yokado's shares, and then hold it back, so that Ito-Yokado would abandon the acquisition of the American Southern Company.

Then, after acquiring the Southern Company of the United States, Xia Yu exchanged the equity of Ito-Yokado Company for the equity of the subsidiary Island Country 7-Eleven Retail Company.

As a result, 7-Eleven Retail in the island nation was acquired.

The original plan was very beautiful, but after seeing the three major shareholders of Ito-Yokado, Xia Yu knew that his plan could directly declare bankruptcy.

Founded in 1920, Ito-Yokado has been around for 60 years and has more than 30 subsidiaries in retail, catering, finance, manufacturing, and publishing.

Island nation 7-Eleven Retail is just one of them.

In the industry in which Ito-Yokado operates, capital flows frequently, and since Sakura Bank is a designated trade bank, the benefits are so large that the Mitsui Consortium will not sell the equity held by Mitsui Life Insurance, and the long-term benefits of holding shares are more attractive to the Mitsui Foundation.

As for Ito Kogyo Company, the largest shareholder, it is even more unlikely that it will sell its shares!

The only one that may be broken through is the second largest shareholder, the island nation First Life Insurance Company.

But even if he got the equity in the hands of the island country's Daiichi Life Insurance Company, it was difficult for Xia Yu to move in the face of Mitsui Life Insurance and Ito Kogyo Company in the same line.

In other words, if one of the six major consortia of the island nation comes forward, it may be successful.

After a long time, Xia Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered: "It seems that we still have to take down the American Southern Company first, and as for the island country 7-11 Retail Company, we will find an opportunity to start later." ”

"Moreover, Ito-Yokado is backed by the Mitsui Consortium and Daiichi Life Insurance, and the funds are extremely abundant, and the hard work of the funds is too cost-effective to allow the American Southern Company to profit. ”

"I can't let Ito-Yokado find out that the competitor is me, otherwise the trouble will be even greater!"

After thinking about it clearly, Xia Yu decided to hide behind the scenes and borrow the tiger skin of the American master for the islanders.

The American Southern Company is not in Texas, so it will find a Texas consortium to make a move.

He remembered that the Texas consortium had several big banks, so he approached these banks, and as long as the dollars were in place, he couldn't solve the problem if he didn't believe it.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu made a phone call to Julian Robertson to show him his attitude.

Soon, Julian Robertson was up and running.

Offered high commissions directly to the First National Bank of Dallas and the Republic of Dallas National Bank, and entrusted the two major banks to help buy the Southern Company.

......

With the passage of time, the impact of the cessation of gold sales in the United States has grown, and the international gold price has become increasingly high.

Xia Yu devoted most of his energy to the gold market and the foreign exchange market.

At this moment, Gavin Peter took the lead in achieving results and reported good news to Xia Yu.

He wholly acquired the French publishing group Hachette for six million pounds.

And Yan Wenhan did not disappoint Xia Yu, with the authorization of the chairman, Yan Wenhan was full of confidence, and at the suggestion of Rey Dario, he offered a high commission to invite Morgan Stanley Bank.

In this era, Morgan Stanley has the power to dominate the world, and its clients include six of the world's top ten oil giants and seven of the top ten American companies.

The only advertising slogan at this point is "If God wants to raise money, he wants to find Morgan Stanley too." “

With the big Mo who occupies the financial throne, it is simply invincible!

After nearly a month of foreshadowing.

On January 9, Mr. Yan took down the loss-making Washington Star, which cost $15 million.

On January 14, the Houston Chronicle was won for $20 million.

On January 17, Yan Wenhan once again reported the good news, doubling the premium and investing a huge sum of $35 million, so that the real estate billionaire Mott Zuckerman happily presented the New York Daily News newspaper with a daily circulation of 700,000 copies.

A total of 70 million US dollars, equivalent to HK$322 million, laid a solid foundation for Jiuding Newspaper Company in the United States!

Gavin Peter, who was in charge of the acquisition in Europe, was in a hurry when he learned the news and stepped up his efforts to tackle the acquisition target.

On the side of Xiangjiang, Jiuding Newspaper Company has also gained something.

In the face of Jiuding Newspaper Company's turnip and stick, the founder of "Film Fortnightly" succumbed to reality and sold the magazine to Jiuding Newspaper Company, although he was unwilling.

After the acquisition, Wu Siyuan immediately sent someone to establish cooperation with "Film Fortnightly".

In the midst of all the disturbances, time flies.

The international gold price has also risen rapidly.

On January 18, the international gold price broke through the $800 per ounce mark.

After the breakthrough, the price of gold stopped rising for a while and climbed again.

It seems that because of the high price of 800 US dollars, speculators around the world have been red-eyed, and the price of gold has risen by a notch.

As soon as the market opened on January 20, the international gold price rose to $830 an ounce.

Seeing this price, Xia Yu decided not to wait!

He gave an order, including London gold, USD/GBP, USD/JPY, etc.
