Chapter 1932: Crazy Loneliness

Kazuo Hirai and the others are not stupid, they heard it at once, and the meaning of Mitsui Ryugami is very obvious, that is, he is ready to give up Sony.

You must know that the Mitsui consortium can hold 31% of the equity of Sony, and it is the second largest shareholder of Sony.

Yoshioka took two steps forward and shouted in a panic, "Your Excellency, your company is a shareholder of our Sony. If we Sony have three strengths and two shortcomings, your company's losses are also not small. ”

Although Ishida Yoshihisa and the others did not speak, their expressions showed that their thoughts were the same as those of Yoshioka Hiroshi.

Thirty-one percent of the shares are worth about $78 billion. No one can ignore such wealth.

Even if Sony has been in a recession recently and its stock has fallen to the bottom, it is worth more than $50 billion.

It can be said that the Mitsui Consortium and Sony are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss. If Sony is finished, the Mitsui consortium will have to lose a piece of meat.

Unexpectedly, Yoshioka's words didn't have any effect, and Mitsui Ryujo was still light and light, but the words he said were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. "I'm old and don't have that much energy to care about superfluous things. Sony's matter, our Mitsui consortium is already planning to let go, with all due respect, there is nothing I can do. ”

Kazuo Hirai was stunned and couldn't get out of this blow at all.

But before they could react, a light step gradually approached, slowly appearing in front of them.

And when they saw the true face of the person who came, their expressions all changed greatly.

Panasonic Town, the right-hand man of Panasonic Group, and one of the leaders of Panasonic Group in the future.

Sony and Panasonic are old enemies and bitter rivals in the electronics market, and both sides are eager to cut their opponents down.

So for the main figures of the Panasonic Group, they are basically familiar with it.

reminds me of what Mitsui Ryugami said just now. The appearance of Panasonic Kojo made them dumbfounded at that time.

When Matsushita Ojo sat next to Mitsui Ryugami, what this old guy said also confirmed their guess. "I would like to take this opportunity today to announce to you. After very good faith negotiations, we have come to hold all the shares of Sony Corporation held by the Mitsui Foundation. It has all been transferred to Panasonic. From now on, you will be partners, and you should be close to each other. ”

After Mitsui Ryujo finished speaking, Matsushita Koshiro nodded proudly, and said to the four of them arrogantly: "Everyone, I've admired it for a long time." We will continue to work with each other a lot, and we hope to have a good time working together. ”

Kazuo Hirai and the others couldn't hear what Matsushita Kojo said clearly, their hearts were already in turmoil, and they also saw the end of Sony.

Sony and Panasonic have a long history of fighting. Since the two sides showed their strength in the electronic market, they have been inseparable enemies.

However, because both parties are members of the Yuexin Society, under the impartial chairmanship of the Mitsui Foundation, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

But now it seems that the Mitsui consortium is obviously not optimistic about the future of Sony, so it will completely fall to Panasonic.

Sony's situation was already very difficult, and now without the support of the Mitsui Foundation, the hearts of Kazuo Hirai and others were completely cold.

The four of them left the villa in a daze. Sitting in the car on the way back, I was relatively speechless for a while. Everyone's face was very ugly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you think. We have no helpers left, and there is no way to stop President Tatsumi from going his own way. Kazuo Hirai's cloudy eyes were full of sadness, like a wild goose flying alone.

Yoshioka slammed his fist on the chair and yelled angrily, "It's all Puffs, a bunch of fools with a lot of eyes on the mouse. Isn't Sony a Japanese company? They have no regard for the interests of the country. They betrayed us like this, and sooner or later they will regret it. ”

Like a gambler who has lost out, Suzuki Kunimasa asked with red eyes, "Can we get financing from the Americans?" ”

Ishida Yoshihisa, who has always been in charge of finance in Sony, shook his head when he heard the words and smiled miserably. "No way. Now that the United States is in turmoil, and those capitalists are busy putting out fires everywhere, how can they care about us? ”

In the end, the four of them didn't come up with any solution. The discussion ended in disgrace, and everyone had different thoughts, but they all made up their minds in their hearts.

Masaya Takami didn't know all this, and his attention was still glued to the South Korean stock market. After investing $3 billion to get C.J Group's stock on the rise, he invested another $2 billion.

As a result, C.J Group's share price has risen sevenfold because of its own agitation, becoming a veritable first bonus stock on the stock market.

Masaya Tachimi knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

At the sound of an order, he gave the order to prepare for a frenzied selling.

When there is a massive sell-off in the stock market, investor confidence suffers a heavy blow. And in order to reduce their losses, they will follow the trend and rush to sell their holdings.

When the madness of the whole market spreads. C.J Group's stock will be on a rollercoaster ride to the bottom of the terror.

At that time, even those who have significant shareholders within the C.J Group will sell off in order to reduce their losses.

At that time, he only needed a small amount of capital to get a controlling stake in C.J Group.

The sale of Sony Music and Sony Movies is also nearing completion, and it is estimated that he will be able to return about $23 billion.

In addition to repaying about $18 billion in arrears from upstream suppliers, he has about $5 billion in his hands.

Coupled with the remaining $2 billion in warehouses, about $7 billion in funds, it was definitely enough to give him a controlling stake when C.J Group's stock plummeted.

June 1st, a sunny day.

On this day, Immediately saw Zhengya took out another 2.1 billion US dollars and signed an equity acquisition agreement with Cui Siyuan.

According to the terms of the agreement, on July 1, 2013, 13% of the shares of C.J Group under the name of Cui Siyuan will be in the hands of Immediately Masa Masaki.

According to the information revealed by Cui Siyuan, this part of the equity is part of all the shares controlled by the Cui family in C.J Group.

In other words, if you get this equity, then the part in Cui Zhengyuan's hands must be less than 51%.

In this way, the necessary conditions were created for him to seize control of the C.J group.

This part of the equity is not intended to join the sell-off, but to use these shares as the basis to increase the probability of successful acquisition.

Sending Choi Si-won away, Masa-ya immediately felt that she was winning, and faintly saw the dawn of victory.

"President, the sale agreement for the music department and the film department has been negotiated. Now all you need to sign is it and it's ready to go. Hasegawa stepped in and reported faithfully.

For the past month, he has been busy with the sale of Sony Music and Sony Movies. After working hard for so long, the final result is finally out.

Masaya Tsumi took the agreement, flipped through it, and asked, "Who is going to buy our property?" ”

Hasegawa smiled reservedly and replied, "It's not just one company, but a lot of companies that have made acquisitions for different divisions. As you know, Mr. President, the combined market value of the music division and the film division is too large, and no other company in the world can eat it alone. ”

Masaya Tsumi nodded, obviously agreeing with his words.

Seeing that he had no objections, Hasegawa Hei then reported: "First of all, let's talk about the film department, which was sold to four companies after hard negotiations. Among them, Columbia was sold to Lionsgate for $3.5 billion, while Classic Pictures was sold to Toho Pictures for $2.7 billion. AXN was acquired by NHK and has now received permission from the Singapore government for $2.6 billion. Finally, ANIMAX was jointly acquired by Toei Animation and Nihonadsystems, which have a good relationship with Sony. ”

After listening to Hasegawa Hei's report, Masaya immediately sighed.

When Sony bought Colombia, it was a sky-high $6 billion.

You know, that's six billion dollars in the eighties of the last century, and it's far from comparable to today's prices.

But now, when Columbia sells it to him, the buyer is only willing to pay $3.5 billion.

This is also because Colombia has a lot of good film rights around the world, otherwise it probably wouldn't be able to sell even two billion dollars.

This is the way this world is, and good assets, even if they are tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, are still flocked to by people.

But to a sunset industry like Colombia, even a mere $3 billion, buyers are stingy to death.

But there is no way, who told him to urgently need the input of funds to fill the hole in the finances.

Contrary to the situation of Sony Films, the sale of Sony Music has been very smooth. Although none of the buyers' contributions are very high, there are many interested people.

Sony Bertelsmann in the United States was acquired by Warner Records, making Warner Records the world's largest music group in one fell swoop.

Japan's Sony Music Group and Japan's Bertelsmann Group were packaged and acquired by Ai Hui Music, which also allowed Ai Hui to complete the domination of the Japanese music market.

As for Sony China, it was jointly acquired by two Chinese music service app companies, Xiami Music and Tiantian Audio, which are rumored to be backed by Alibaba Group, and obviously there is no problem in terms of financial resources.

What Tsumi Zhengya didn't know was that in addition to Xiami Music and Tiantian Sound, there were also $1.3 billion from A.P China.

In other words, in the future establishment of Ali Music Group, A.P China will occupy 48% of the equity.

More than 20 billion US dollars were withdrawn at once, and although most of it would be sent out quickly, it still made Masaya Tachimi feel relieved.

It's just that his comfort didn't last long, and when the four resignations were placed in front of him, all his good moods came to naught. (To be continued......)
