Li Lin, who had been hiding and not showing up, finally showed up.

Because of a person he couldn't refuse, they found him.

Wu Kebo.

The CEO of Orange Sky Entertainment.

If it was just the identity of the boss of Orange Sky Entertainment, Li Lin would not have met him, but the intricate life experience behind him made Li Lin have to see him.

Drove to a private club that was not open, and under the leadership of the waiter, Li Lin pushed the door open, and the first thing he saw was not Wu Kebo, but Kenichiro Yoshida as he expected.

Wu Kebo invited him to meet, just to serve as a bridge for Kenichiro Yoshida.

The one who really wants to see him is Kenichiro Yoshida.

And his appearance also means that Sony, the face of Japan, cannot sit still at all.

The deepening subprime mortgage crisis has made Sony feel the smell of suffocation, they desperately need winter food, and after Wall Street in the United States and local banks in Japan have rejected them, who else can provide more money than Li Lin?

No, not a single one.

Neither the other conglomerates in the United States nor the conglomerates in Japan are tightening monetary policy, and no one is willing to give blood to others in the subprime mortgage crisis.

Because giving blood to other people means that you may not survive this winter.

Self-sacrificing, humanity has not collectively evolved to such a noble point, even if there are people in these consortia who are hot-headed, others will come out to stop him.

In such a situation, the only thing Sony can choose is Li Lin. And if you want to impress Li Lin, you must spit out the fat in your mouth.

Gold Group.

They only had a few months from eating the gold medal group to spitting out the gold medal group. Sony now probably even regrets his intestines.

"Li Jun." Kenichiro Yoshida showed a hearty smile when he saw Li Lin coming in, and he bowed to Li Lin, "I had some unpleasant things with Li Jun some time ago, and I ask Li Jun to forgive me." ”

What he was referring to was Sony's acquisition of the Gold Group.

If there was no subprime mortgage crisis, he would never have done this, and bought the gold medal group. Li Lin is a lost dog, even if he has a large amount of funds in his hands, no one looks down on him. Sony, there has never been a shortage of money.

But now .......

The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis has left the whole world short of money, Wall Street, European and American banks, and banks in Asian countries. They are short of money. So Sony is also short of money.

What scared Sony even more was that they saw the coming winter.

In the cold winter of the economic crisis, it is impossible to be afraid.

In order to survive the winter, they could only reluctantly cut their love and return the gold medal group to Li Lin, Li Lin, who regained the gold medal group, was a prince, and a prince was worthy of his respect. Even if he hates him in his heart.

"You don't have to be hypocritical." Li Lin waved his hand, "Say it." At what price do you sell Gold Group. ”

Kenichiro Yoshida was stunned.

Don't have to be hypocritical?

Did he hear it wrong or did Li Lin say it wrong? Shouldn't it be that you don't have to be modest? However, his mind was quickly attracted by Li Lin's later words.

He drank a cup of tea and moistened his throat, "It took 2 months for Sony to fully acquire the Gold Group and cost 21.2 billion US dollars, and Li Jun only needs to pay 23 billion US dollars to buy the Gold Group back." ”

As if he hadn't heard anything, Wu Kebo walked out casually and closed the door with his hand.

He has already helped Kenichiro Yoshida to connect the bridges, and the rest of the matter is not something he can meddle in.

"$23 billion, Sony is really generous." Li Lin held the teacup and blew lightly, "I just don't know that it will cost me $30 billion to acquire Sony?" ”

Under the subprime mortgage crisis, the stocks of all companies fell, and Sony's stock fell particularly hard.

"There's no way Sony can be acquired." Kenichiro Yoshida sneered, "There are many people who want to buy Sony, including those greedy giants on Wall Street, but none of them can buy Sony. ”

Li Lin raised his eyebrows.

Kenichiro Yoshida is right that Sony is unlikely to be acquired.

It's not that Sony is too big, it's just that Sony is the face of Japan, and the Japanese government can't allow anyone else, especially a non-Japanese consortium, to buy Sony.

Don't look at Sony's situation now, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank's blood draw has put Sony into an unprecedented weakness, and its stock is also falling day by day, and it seems that it may fall into waste.

But this qiē is just an illusion that appears on the surface.

Once someone really thinks that they can buy Sony, and initiates a real acquisition of Sony, instead of Li Lin's move that is limited to eating with Sony's directors and does not reach a substantive share purchase agreement, then the Japanese government will intervene.

He could almost imagine two of the Japanese government's means.

One is to investigate the foreigner's acquisition of Sony and cause trouble for the acquirer, and the other is to provide loans to Sony.

The government of a country, especially a country like Japan, is still very easy for the Japanese government to come up with tens of billions of dollars.

No matter what kind of ambition the acquirer has, it will definitely be in vain in the end.

He didn't really want to buy Sony, he just wanted to make trouble for Sony, and if Sony didn't pay attention, he might actually buy Sony's shares and sell them to people who needed it.

For example, the Mitsui Foundation, which wants to incorporate Sony into its system all the time, or other local Japanese conglomerates and top groups that are eyeing each other.

You must know that the Japanese government will not stop the acquisition of Sony by local consortiums and groups.

Li Lin took a sip of tea gently, "Mr. Kenichiro Yoshida, you seem to have forgotten that Sony can't be acquired, but it can't be acquired by a consortium outside of Japan." ”

"But as far as I know, there are many people who have a strong interest in Sony watches, and I believe that they will be happy to eat Sony with my help."

"But Li Jun, you won't, will you?" Kenichiro Yoshida smiled, he raised his hand and stretched out his chopsticks, and took a piece of fish, this is not the sashimi that Japanese people often eat, but the boiled fish that Chinese people are more accustomed to, "With Li Jun's wisdom, he will not do this kind of thing that harms himself and others." ”

"But if they're willing to pay me afterwards, I won't mind." Li Lin put down the teacup with a smile, and his tone was faintly threatening, "For example, the gold medal group that was eaten by Sony, for example, some departments of Sony." ”

Wow.

Kenichiro Yoshida's heart panicked, once Li Lin did this, it would be a huge disaster for Sony.

Sony's market value has been dragged down by the subprime mortgage crisis and is constantly falling, if it encounters a hostile takeover by a Japanese consortium, they will have no ability to fight back after being siphoned off funds, and the most important thing is that it is unknown whether the Mitsui consortium can help them this time - judging from the current state of Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, it is not easy for them to help Sony.

"For $16 billion, I bought all the shares of the Golden Group in Sony's hands for $16 billion." Li Lin made his request when Kenichiro Yoshida was nervous.

"It can't be."

Kenichiro Yoshida instinctively jumped up, "$16 billion, it's simply impossible." We spent $21.2 billion on the acquisition of Gold Group alone. ”

Thanks to the appreciation of the Huaxia currency, although the market value of the gold medal group in the local area has not increased much, it has been converted into the market value of the US dollar, but it has gained a certain amount of growth.

With $21.2 billion, Sony only ate 80% of the shares of the Gold Group, and of course, there is also a reason for the premium acquisition -- when Sony launched the acquisition of the Gold Group, the stock price of the Gold Group had already been raised.

"Do you think the stock of the Gold Group is still worth that much money now?" Li Lin hit the nail on the head.

Under the subprime mortgage crisis, the global stock market is falling, and companies are also falling, the difference is that the group with good performance has fallen less, while the company with too many bubbles has fallen more.

It just so happens that although the gold medal group has performed well, the star is not worth the market value, and in the context of the subprime mortgage crisis, the gold medal group has fallen for more than three weeks.

Although the magnitude of each decline is not very large, its overall downward trend has not changed.

In a way, Sony, which acquired the Gold Medal Group, has been in the red since the acquisition, and their money is constantly evaporating.

"$20 billion." Kenichiro Yoshida gritted his teeth, "As long as you come up with two billion dollars, we Sony will sell all the shares to you." ”

"$17 billion, Mr. Kenichiro Yoshida, let me remind you that the market value of the Gold Medal Group is constantly evaporating, and Sony is in a dangerous situation, and you can't afford to drag it out." Li Lin said: "Once it drags on, Sony's life in the subprime mortgage crisis will not be easy. ”

"On the contrary, if you Sony sell the Gold Group to me for $17 billion, although it will cause a loss of $4 billion, as long as you survive this winter, will Sony's spring be far away?"

"$19 billion." Kenichiro Yoshida gritted his teeth, "This is the authority given to me by the board of directors, no matter how low it is, I will not be able to make a decision." ”

With a loss of $2 billion, Sony can afford to lose money.

When it entered Hollywood, Sony lost $10.8 billion under the attack of the Americans, causing a sensation throughout Japan.

"Yes." Li Lin agreed.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." Kenichiro Yoshida smiled and stretched out his hand, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to dismantle Li Lin, who took the opportunity to blackmail Sony.

"Li Lin, this lesson, we Sony has written it down."

"When the winter is over, let's see how we Sony clean you up." (To be continued......)
