Chapter 1442: Heavy Bleeding
Compared with the anxious Masamasa Tachimi and Mitsuo Ikeshita, Zhang Jiadu, who also stayed in Stockholm, was much more relaxed and happy.
This guy even had the leisure to go to the Nordic nightclubs and experience the exotic atmosphere.
If he wasn't afraid of going back to be Cui Zhengyuan K, he would have wanted to have an intimate contact with a hot Nordic American woman.
"How? What is the outcome of your negotiations today? In the office where he stayed, Zhang Jiadu convened the negotiation team dispatched by the C.J Group to inquire about the progress.
In addition to him, there is a team of up to 15 people in charge of negotiations with Ericsson.
Although he is acting, Cui Zhengyuan is obviously very realistic. At least so far, neither Ericsson nor Sony has thought that they are just here to stir things up.
In the acquisition negotiation with Ericsson, it was these people in front of him who came forward, but Zhang Jiadu did not show up in person.
The leader of the negotiation team is named Liang Zhengxun, a man in his thirties who wears glasses.
He pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "It's still the same as before, Ericsson has always refused to let go of the additional conditions we proposed." ”
This answer made Zhang Jiadu more satisfied.
He knew that the strategy formulated by Cui Zhengyuan was effective, and it was impossible for Ericsson to sell competitive core technology.
This is the foundation of their survival, and it is difficult for them to transfer no amount of money.
It is precisely because of this that the negotiations have been deadlocked.
He was really afraid that Ericsson would be driven by profits, so he suddenly agreed. In that case, they would be passive.
At that point, do you say to sign the agreement or not to sign it?
If signed, what will C.J Group do when it acquires the mobile communications business? They are in the entertainment and cultural industry, and they have nothing to do with this kind of industry.
If you don't sign it, no matter how stupid people are, they will know that you are here to make trouble. In that case, Sony will be the one who will benefit.
Now the negotiations are deadlocked. It should be Sony that has become passive.
Zhang Jiadu is looking forward to seeing how much blood will be bled when Zhengya comes in person this time.
"Sony's side is monitoring, and I need to know the outcome of their negotiations with Ericsson as soon as possible. If there is an agreement between them, the amount of the transaction must be clear. Zhang Jiadu gave instructions.
Just like Sony is heavily guarded on his side, the whereabouts of Zhang Jiadu's side against Lijian Zhengya and others have been closely monitored.
In the early morning of the same day, Zhang Jiadu received a very strange piece of information.
Mitsuo Ikeshita, who is one of the cronies of Masaya Tachimi, once appeared alone in the restaurant of the hotel where they were staying.
As he enjoyed his meal, a white waiter walked past him and took the used plate from his table.
Although this qiē looks normal. However, the personnel who were always monitoring noticed that there was a hidden note hidden in the middle of the plate that the waiter had taken away.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Jiadu couldn't sleep all of a sudden.
He really couldn't figure out what Mitsuo Ikeshita was doing, why was he so careful?
Did they instigate some kind of plan to catch them off guard?
Could it be that the order was given to the killers to prepare a raid on them?
Without a clue, he had no choice but to give orders to all the members to be on guard, and at the same time distributed the weapons.
In addition, the waiter of the closing bar. He also had people in charge of tracking it down.
He wants to see what the hell this cunning Mitsuo Ikeshita is doing?
This is the first time he has been in charge of such a major event independently, and it is a good opportunity to show his ability in front of Cui Zhengyuan, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.
The results persisted until dawn. There were no unexpected situations, and there was no latest news coming, which made him even more confused.
It was only after lunch that he received his first message.
The Sony negotiation team led by Mitsuo Ikeshita set off from the hotel. Already at Ericsson's corporate headquarters, the fifth round of negotiations between them took place.
Zhang Jiadu has no way of knowing what the specific process is in the negotiations.
This is Sweden. It is Ericsson's territory.
Ericsson, which hopes to profit from the two competitors, has done a good job of confidentiality.
The negotiations lasted more than four hours.
Zhang Jiadu waited anxiously for more than four hours, but in the middle he got a piece of information that surprised him.
The waiter who took the note from Mitsuo Ikeshita's desk then called Guò to report to someone.
Intelligence officers who knew Swedish were so far away that they only vaguely heard the words of 2.5 billion euros.
What does that 2.5 billion euros mean? Zhang Jiadu does not know.
It wasn't until the end of the negotiations between Sony and Ericsson that he personally received a call from Wei Hansi, only to get a jaw-dropping result.
Just now, Sony agreed to Ericsson's offer of up to 2.5 billion euros, and the two parties have signed the agreement of intent separately, and they have also received legal justice.
If C.J Group can't offer a higher price, then the agreement of intent will become a real acquisition agreement.
Zhang Jiadu's body was cold, and he was full of endless happiness.
But his tone was so regretful, as if he had missed something good. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wehrs, although we at C.J. Group are very sincere about the acquisition. But 2.5 billion euros has exceeded our expectations, and I am afraid that we will not be able to cooperate smoothly this time. ”
"Oh, that's a shame. You Koreans are happy businessmen, and I look forward to working with you in more fields in the future. Wei Hans politely expressed his regret and hung up the phone.
So far, among the three competitions, Sony finally got its wish at a high price of 2.5 billion euros and obtained a wholly-owned controlling stake in Sony Ericsson.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Jiadu still couldn't suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.
Sony is really bleeding this time, that's 2.5 billion euros.
With such a large amount of money taken out, it is estimated that if Masashi wants to recover his vitality, it will not be possible in ten or eight years.
Originally, in their imagination, being able to pit Sony's bid to 1.8 billion euros would be the perfect victory.
Unexpectedly, Ericsson was so powerful that it was stunned to let Sony pay an extra 700 million euros.
What he didn't expect the most was that by the side of Lijian Zhengya, the person who was most loyal to him was also taking the opportunity to dig into the wall.
Mitsuo Ikeshita's strange behavior last night, as well as the vague words of "two and a half billion euros", revealed one thing.
That is, with his back to Masaya Tachimi, Mitsuo Ikeshita must have reached an agreement with Ericsson in private.
Because he is a close associate of Masaya Tachimi, he knows the internal situation best, and he also knows that Masaya Tachimi will pay this money even if it hurts.
So, he either sold this information to Ericsson, or cooperated with Ericsson, anyway, he made Lijian Masaya spend a lot of unjust money.
Of the extra money, Zhang Jiadu estimated that Mitsuo Ikeshita would receive at least more than 200 million euros.
This may be a means to defeat Immediately Masaya in the future, so Zhang Jiadu carefully sorted out the information that Mitsuo Ikeshita had benefited from, and left Sweden with the team as soon as possible.
Their task has been completed, and what they need to do now is to rush back quickly and make a detailed report to Cui Zhengyuan about the before and after process this time.
In particular, Mitsuo Ikeshita's greedy behavior is important information.
I believe that the general manager who can often harm people will definitely make good use of it.
Unlike their hurry, the place where Sony was staying at this time was gloomy.
Masaya stood in front of the window in a daze, almost maddened by the gloomy weather in Northern Europe.
Although he made a quick decision to cut through the mess, the purchase price of 2.5 billion euros still made his heart ache.
The $3 billion lost in the U.S. stock market is still a big hole that hasn't been filled.
This time he had spent so much money that he seemed to have seen his pockets as dry as leaves.
Behind him, a group of negotiators led by Mitsuo Ikeshita did not dare to come out.
They all know that Sony has suffered a big loss this time, and it will not be good if one behaves inappropriately and let the chairman vent his anger on his head.
I don't know how long it has been, but the depressed Tachimi Masaya finally let out a weak sigh. "Tell the U.S. side to agree to the merger of MGM and Telescope."
Mitsuo Ikeshita asked cautiously, "What about Karl. Did Icahn agree to the investment? ”
Seeing that Masaya had no strength, he said helplessly: "What else can I do?" The most important thing for us at the moment is to raise enough funds to face the onslaught of Hideki Komiyayama and others. Otherwise, we will lose control of the group. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and added, "Carl. Icahn can take a stake, but he must sue him to help MGM pay off his $5 billion debt. ”
Mitsuo Ikeshita was a little painful and said, "In this case, I'm afraid our equity in MGM will drop a lot." ”
Masaya Tsumi rubbed her aching eyebrows. "Now that I can't take care of this, it's important to raise funds as soon as possible. I'm afraid that Cui Zhengyuan's bastard will make some kind of demon moth, and I have to find a way to deal with it. ”
For the first time since the two clashed, Masaya immediately had a slight panic about Choi Jung-won. (To be continued......)
