Chapter 2 Preemptive strike
I won't be so stupid as to think that you have always said good things. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.infoqΠ5γc0m Masayoshi Son is willing to put SoftBank to him, he is just comparing his heart to his heart, thinking about the problem from the perspective of Masayoshi Son, and he knows very well how to impress this Oriental tiger. For the SoftBank empire, which is about to collapse, it is moving towards the abyss of collapse step by step.
Zhao Daxi's attitude was quite sincere when he spoke: "You have two choices, the first one." I chose you to work with Goldman Sachs, and begged Henry, the old ruffian, to come out with billions of dollars to help you avoid bankruptcy. Mr. Sun, you know better than I do the consistent style of Goldman Sachs. β
Even Tsui Ze realized the seriousness of the situation, and tried his best to translate Ze truthfully in his words, Sun Zhengyi's face turned from white to black, and he was of course very aware of Goldman Sachs' consistent deception methods. In fact, if he hadn't been forced to be helpless, he would never have been willing to seek skin with the tiger.
Zhao Daxi's wording gradually became harsh: "Once Goldman Sachs becomes the owner of SoftBank, it is inevitable to lay off employees in order to solve the current business difficulties, which is a fact that you and I have to admit." Did Mr. Sun think about the employees of SoftBank Group, and how many SoftBank employees would line up to jump off the building by that time? β
Sun Zhengyi's face turned from blue to black, and his emotions became excited: "Baga, I don't need you to teach me how to do things!" β
Zhao Daxi saw his face and knew that the heat was almost over, so he gently slapped the table and shouted: "The second choice is that you sell SoftBank to me, I promise to treat SoftBank employees well and never lay off employees!" β
Sun Zhengyi's face turned from black to red, and his red was even more excited: "Why should I believe you!" β
Brother Zhao Daxi slapped the table and was also very emotional: "In black and white, every word I have said can be written into the acquisition agreement, I want to have half a word of false words!" β
After all, Son still can't hold his face. also slapped the table and threw himself away, but Zhao Daxi didn't stop him, with a burst of pride in his heart, and he also knew the sore spot of the Oriental tiger in just three or two sentences. He saw through that this Oriental tiger was already desperate, and he gave such generous conditions for treating SoftBank employees well, and he was not afraid that he would not turn back.
Looking at Sun Zhengyi's car from the window, he turned around and reached out to grab the phone on the table and call back to Dongguan. An order was issued for the investment department to urgently mobilize all funds and prepare for the full takeover of SoftBank's listed companies.
When he put down the phone, even Xiao Dong asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhao, it doesn't seem to work, right?" β
Zhao Daxi slapped him twice on the head and scolded him with a smile: "Stupid, SoftBank is very compatible with our main business, in order to find a way for his employees to live, who else can he sell the company to me if he doesn't sell it to me, do you think everyone is as stupid as you are?" β
Cocked Erlang's legs and shook proudly for a while. Mr. and Mrs. Li Zheng and Miss Shen had just come in from outside, and they were a little dumbfounded when they looked at him. Zhao Daxi counted down to one, two, three in his heart, and when he counted to three, there was a sound of braking outside, Li Zheng and a few people looked out of the window, and the net saw that Sun Zhengyi's car turned around and drove back, and stopped on the side of the road in the heavy rain, and there was no movement after stopping for a long time. Zhao Daxi patted the sleeve of his clothes in front of everyone, got up and smiled kindly: "Sister-in-law, I have to go." β
Mrs. Li was shocked and speechless, and she didn't know how to express the shocking feelings in her heart. A few days later, he was in the investment department of Beishan Group. Knowing that it was inevitable to be acquired, Son acted obediently according to Zhao Daxi's request, and the two sides secretly signed a purchase agreement, bypassing the Japanese government and the press media. In return, Zhao generously pledged in the acquisition agreement to treat hundreds of thousands of employees of SoftBank Group.
At this time, the market value of SoftBank's listed companies, under the impact of a series of fraud scandals, has fallen to an embarrassing situation of 4.5 billion US dollars! Zhao Daxi gave everything he had and made a one-time payment of $1.5 billion. plus 10% of the original shares in his hands. In one fell swoop, it took a controlling stake in Japan's SoftBank A few days later, he went to Tokyo to hold a secret board meeting, kept the news tightly shut from the outside world, and pushed the second person Hidetake Kurashige to the front of the stage as the chief executive.
Six ears in this day, SoftBank headquarters.
Facing the conference room more than a dozen. The dejected Japanese, Zhao Daxi sat in the chairman's position, and he was also a little stunned. The once invincible SoftBank empire fell to this step, which was still the result of his own efforts, and those foreign shareholders had already slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good, and the stock price of SoftBank had plummeted all the way, and it was already on the verge of bankruptcy liquidation. At this time, I regretted it in my heart, I shot too hard and made it too bad, and it is not easy to clean up this mess now.
The good news is that as a result, he has a controlling stake of 55% in one fell swoop, with an absolute controlling stake, and Nuo Da SoftBank is now his own decision.
Lao Lei scratched his hair for a while, and he also had a headache: "Mr. Zhao, what should I do now, if I can't come back to life in a short time, even our investment department will lose it." β
Lin Haiyan and Zhu Yu, who came to Japan together, also bowed their heads, even if they have always been full of confidence in Zhao Daxi, this time they feel that they have no confidence, SoftBank is now like a broken ship leaking on all sides, it is too difficult to drive ashore, and I saw that Mr. Zhao shook Erlang's legs for a while.
Zhu Yucai had the courage to whisper: "Mr. Zhao, you promised that people would never lay off employees." Now what? β
Zhao Daxi got up and at the same time showed an insolent and arrogant expression: "Don't do it, first build momentum to stabilize the stock price." β
Director Zhu Yulin Haiyan Lei was in a daze when he heard it, and it was right to think about it, Mr. Zhao was the best at pretending to be a ghost in his life. If you want to stabilize the stock price, you really have to create a momentum. A few days later, Indonesia's Huaqiao Daily broke out another explosive news, which was quickly reprinted by major Chinese newspapers. Japan's SoftBank was revealed to have quietly changed hands, and it is rumored that it has been secretly taken over by a mysterious consortium in Asia.
The consortium is moving to integrate SoftBank's existing resources and intends to invest $10 billion to help SoftBank get out of its current financial predicament. Such an explosive piece of news was reprinted in the Wall Street Journal and Japan's Sankei Shimbun, and Japanese reporters flocked to Bali, Indonesia, to frantically surround Son Masayoshi for 24 hours. Masayoshi Son, who was on vacation, just kept his mouth shut and said nothing, and many Japanese reporters were in an uproar.
But a little bit of brains also know that his weak attitude is tantamount to acquiescence, with Son Zhengyi's consistent character, if it was really a false rumor, he would probably have jumped to his feet and cursed people a long time ago. At the same time, the front of SoftBank's headquarters was also crowded by reporters.
Zhao Daxi saw that the time was almost up, and asked Cangzhong Yingwu to go out to deal with the reporter, and the words were vague, and he very euphemistically admitted the fact that SoftBank Group was acquired by a mysterious consortium. Without saying much, he turned around and left, and a large number of reporters behind him frantically wanted to chase in, but were blocked by the police and bodyguards.
And Zhao Daxi was drinking tea with Son Zhengyi in Bali at this time, and the two of them sat on Japanese-style tatami mats. Weird. I never thought that these two people were fighting in the dark a few days ago, and there would be such a day. You can also sit together and drink tea.
Son was dressed in a traditional kimono, and his rickety figure had lost his momentum, and Zhao Daxi fulfilled his promise and did not fire any SoftBank employees, which also won his heartfelt favor.
Son Zhengyi spoke very kindly: "Zhao Sang, do you plan to keep the news blocked?" β
Zhao Jianxi sat cross-legged across from him, touched his hair and corrected him seriously: "I'm not blocking the news, I'm building momentum."
Sun Zhengyi's expression froze when he heard this, and he asked willingly: "Okay, Zhao Sang, what should I do next." β
Zhao Daxi squinted at him, still with an arrogant attitude: "You just need to restrain your people and keep your mouth shut, and you don't need to care about the next things." β
Although Sun Zhengyi's face was a little ugly, he obediently sent a cup of tea, Zhao Daxi pretended to drink it all, and sneered in his heart to learn more. In terms of ability, we are comparable. If you want to talk about the ability to pretend to be a ghost, you are really far behind. I really want to advise Mr. Sun, this is not the era when you started in the 90s, and now your set of ideas can no longer be played.
The news was tightly sealed for a week. The newspapers reported frantically for a week, speculating about the mysterious consortium that bought SoftBank, but rumors were flying everywhere, and SoftBank executives were tight-lipped under Zhao Daxi's stern warning, and the media could only guess out of thin air. What's more, some irresponsible tabloids even created rumors out of thin air, rumoring that it was actually Microsoft that bought SoftBank, and even made a fuss that Microsoft had to hold a press conference to clarify the facts.
In the case of rumors, SoftBank's stock price has miraculously stabilized, and it has also attracted the interest of many investors, especially Asian investors.
Son Zhengyi was dumbfounded, but he never thought that Mr. Zhao's pretending to be a ghost would really stabilize the stock price. A few days ago, he couldn't stabilize the stock price even if he tried his best, so how do you know Mr. Zhao's psychology towards Asian investors. He thought it so thoroughly that he was able to stabilize the stock price by simply attracting idle funds from Asian investors.
Zhao Daxi shook Erlang's legs for a while, sat in Tokyo and showed his courage and wrists, cut some unrealistic projects in the Son Masayoshi era, and pulled out tens of thousands of senior SoftBank employees and transferred them to Bangladesh. Vietnam and India were transferred to expand the management and construction team of Beishan Communications, which was weak. To this day, Masayoshi Son has to admit it. Kitayama Communications and Japan's SoftBank are indeed a match made in heaven.
Beishan Communications has a huge emerging market, including China and Vietnam, and is in urgent need of experienced managers and technology, while SoftBank Group has been defeated in Vietnam and India one after another, and its empty technology and resources have not been able to be converted into profits for a long time, and it is even more mired in the quagmire of anti-Kui in ASEAN. If it weren't for the deep hatred between China and Japan, Beirang. Communications and Japan's SoftBank should be a pair of tacit partners in the blend of rain.
It's too late to say anything at this point. Son was not stunned to admit that he wanted to fully get involved in Xinxing Si, and his idea of producing a lot was unrealistic, and it ended up being a mess that was airtight on all sides. Zhao Daxi was much more sober than him. Zhao Daxi is tantamount to a complete rejection of his failed strategy of blossoming in all directions, and has the intention to transform SoftBank into a professional group company specializing in communication technology services. He was ruined, but for the sake of the living environment of SoftBank's employees, he was also glad that it was a wise choice to sell the company to Beishan Group. I was even more frustrated in my heart, once I was let by the north. Communication has completely digested SoftBank, and no one can stop the rise of Beishan Communications.
On this day at the end of June, Bali.
Son Masayoshi finally served Zhao Daxi a cup of hot tea like a well-behaved schoolboy, Zhao Daxi drank the hot tea and tasted a little strange in his heart, wondering whether to remind him that in a few months, there would be another catastrophe that shocked the world in this place, a tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people.
Squinted at Sun Zhengyi's old face, which was more than ten years old, he still sighed softly in his heart. Life and death are destined for wealth and wealth, and Liang Xincheng may not be willing to let go of this if he has knowledge under the spring. Old devil, if there are any grievances, there are grievances, let the two of them settle this account slowly in the underworld.
After a few counts, Guangzhou.
Compared with the rumors outside, the country is still quiet, and it still can't stir up any waves, and ordinary people certainly don't care who buys Japan's SoftBank. The net rushed back to Guangzhou from Tokyo, and suddenly changed from the wind and rain to the ancient well, and Lao Lei and the others couldn't adapt to it for a while.
Director Lei glanced left and right, and couldn't help complaining: "This is about to become a paradise, our people really don't hear anything outside the window." β
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into chuckles, and even Zhu Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "I've been busy intriguing and climbing up all these years, who can take care of others." β
Zhao Daxi also laughed when he heard it: "Are you alluding to anyone?" β
Director Lei and Zhu Yu denied it at the same time, we also touched the scene, we didn't mean anything else. A group of people returned to Zhaojia Village with their front feet, and the provincial party committee car stopped at the entrance of the village. Zhao Daxi couldn't shirk it this time, so he patiently took Xiao Dong and had to meet Secretary Duan.
The meeting place was in Secretary Duan's office, and there was still a Governor Meng who came uninvited, and the intention seemed to be a little subtle. Secretary Duan's face darkened a little. If it weren't for the self-serving and cultivated people and the presence of Governor Meng, it is estimated that he would have been scolded a long time ago. Secretary Duan sat in the office for a while, but still tapped the table and snorted coldly, pushed the door and went out.
Dong couldn't help but mutter: "Brother Zhao, he called you here and he left, what do you mean?"
Zhao Daxi gently kicked him in the heart and said what he meant, put on a shelf, if you can guess the leader's mind, you can also be an official.
On the contrary, Governor Meng had a very kind attitude, and said with a smile: "How can a family have an overnight feud" Xiao Zhao, I think you should take the initiative to admit your mistake. β
Zhao Daxi suddenly thought of Mr. Henry, who had not shown up for a long time, and naturally showed a little smile on his face when he was in a good mood, wondering if he should play that old American ruffian. This time, he took a step ahead to persuade Son to take control of SoftBank's shares. I don't know if the old ruffian's face will be ugly.
In contrast, Son is much cuter than this old ruffian. At least Son still has a bit of humanity and knows how to find a bite to eat for the desperate SoftBank employees.
