Chapter 883: Psychological Warfare
Except for Yuka and Sayuri, Xiao Qi doesn't have a good impression of the Japanese, but he is happy to earn Japanese money.
Many younger Chinese people may not know what ITOCHU Corporation stands for in China.
Aside from the fact that after Junichiro Koizumi came to power in 2000, Sino-Japanese relations became increasingly tense and eventually developed into sharp confrontations, in fact, in the seventies and eighties, and even the early nineties, Sino-Japanese relations were never a sweet period.
During this period, Japan's aid and loans to China were unprecedented.
Itochu was one of the most famous Japanese companies in China at that time.
It can't be said to have helped Huaguo's enterprises, but it is the most famous, because there were more than 240 Huaguo companies controlled and participated in by it at its peak, and the trade volume with China reached 10% of the total trade between Japan and China, right?
To this day, ITOCHU Corporation conducts a large number of trading activities in China, and it controls and purchases at least 1,000 companies, even more than Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation at the same level.
The largest amount of Japanese investment in shijie is in the United States, and ITOCHU Corporation has entrusted the task of the American market to Akinobu Naito, which shows that Akinobu Naito not only has a noble status, but also his strength should not be underestimated.
But for Xiao Qi, Japan is a consortium of the six major consortia, and the rest of the clubs are listed separately, and the fairy company is not afraid, and even the status is much higher.
"I really can't imagine it, it turns out that Mr. Xiao is Miss Tang's boyfriend, I said, such a beautiful lady, how can there be no talent to match?" Drinking coffee, Akinobu Naito praised the two. "One of you owns DreamPad and the other owns Chosegirl, both of which are world-famous companies, and you are really young and promising! Compared with you, I, the handsome man who is praised by people on weekdays, is nothing! ”
"Huh. Mr. Naito, I would like to say that your Naito family is one of the three major families of ITOCHU Corporation, and it is said that your father will be appointed as the chairman of the board of directors next year, and the development of the Naito family is limitless. Tang Mingxiang also said compliments in passing, and it didn't cost money anyway.
"ITOCHU Corporation is the foundation of our predecessors, and we have been working hard to find a higher breakthrough point in order to grow it and develop it." Aminebu Naito climbed up the pole, "If I can take a stake in DreamPad or one of the Chosegirls, this will be something that I will be proud of for the rest of my life!" ”
Say it's two companies. In fact, Naito Mingxin has been looking at Xiao Qi.
Compared with Chosegirl, DreamPad's social influence and impact on the development of future technology are better, especially when it involves so many supporting manufacturers, if it can be held in hand, it will definitely be a great boost to Japan's proud electronics industry.
I believe that when that day comes, Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic and other general clubs among the six major consortia. We will definitely form a closer alliance with ITOCHU Corporation.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qi treats the same as anyone else who asks for financing to buy shares. smiled faintly, but didn't mean to talk.
Tang Mingxiang accosted: "Xiexie Mr. Naito's compliment, but now that the subprime mortgage crisis has just broken out in the United States, I think we should wait and see, Chosegirl is not in a hurry to expand financing." ”
The answer I wanted to wait for didn't arrive, but I heard Tang Mingxiang say this. Akito Naito immediately let out a "groan" in his heart.
Chosegirl's financing has already attracted 80% of the venture capital funds on the planet.
It's just that the current Chosegirl is no longer the Chosegirl it used to be, with hundreds of millions of registered users, millions of group buying partners, and the most lively food and home furnishing forum in the United States...... Chosegirl, etc., the most conservative estimate is $10 billion, how can those small venture capital firms that rely on mistakes to pick up cheap can participate?
So. Now all that's left are more than two dozen venture capital firms, looking at Chosegirl and looking at the competition.
Everyone is afraid of rushing in stupidly and being slaughtered by Chosegirl, and they are even more afraid that their waiting will let others take advantage.
If it weren't for the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, the stock market in the United States has plummeted in the past few days, and the financial turmoil has caused some venture capital companies to raise their quotes.
Naito's previous offer was not high, and he wanted to buy 30% of the 15 billion calculation, ranking in the top five on the quotation.
But his advantage is that he promised to set up a branch of Chosegirl in Japan as well, and Chosegirl did not have to pay a penny, but purely invested in jishu and patented ideas, and ITOCHU gave Tang Mingxiang a 20% stake.
It is conservatively estimated that this stock should be worth about $1 billion, but it is not expected to see a profit in a year or two, and it is not known when it will be sold.
The bright and touching girl doesn't care about the shares of Chosegirl in Japan, because if it goes well, she will definitely enter the Japanese market within three years, and all the shares are her own, so why share them with others?
Moreover, Tang Mingxiang felt that the Japanese were too greedy, and they wanted 30% of the shares in one go, and the shares she most wanted to transfer were 20%, at least the first round of financing would be like this.
As a result, the negotiations between the two sides were stuck.
A few days ago, she was still a little annoyed, if she agreed to the conditions of the Japanese, or if it was from Green Pine Capital and Bayeux Ventures, then she would have billions of dollars in her account, where would she be in a dilemma?
But Xiao Qi's arrival gave her infinite confidence and solid backing, and in the face of these cunning venture capital companies, Tang Mingxiang was full of confidence.
On the contrary, Naito was a little nervous.
Over the years, ITOCHU Corporation has made a large layout in the consumer industry, and Chosegirl is known as a new generation of EBAY, and the potential for group buying is endless, and winning it is the best weapon for ITOCHU Corporation to expand.
Originally, Naito Mingxin wanted to boil Tang Mingxiang, but he didn't expect Xiao Qi to be Tang Mingxiang's man.
Now the advantage he relies on is completely gone, how many companies can compare to the fairy company than cash flow?
Selling 1% of the shares is enough to support the development and expansion of Chosegirl for five years! (To be continued......)
