Chapter 677: Falling into the Well and Turning Darkness into Light
"Mitsubishi's share price has fallen by more than 500%, and it's time for us to enter the market......"
In the highest conference room of the Commercial Bank, Bao Zhidao said to several other bank executives in a cross. A heartfelt smile appeared on everyone's faces, because the harvest of this business was so rich and rich.
As the leader of Japan's steam industry, Mitsubishi has successfully preserved itself because of several previous business wars, and the development of its strength is getting bigger and bigger, and it has long been a star enterprise sought after by the whole of Japan. Its stock price is hitting new highs!
Sanye Pingbei Danfan suffered a wave of strangulation war, and in order to make up for the loss after the turmoil subsided, a part of the equity will be released to the trading market; And when the strangulation war came and Mitsubishi's stock fell, he would invest in buying it back from the market, but Mino Pingbei always sold more than he recovered. And in this incoming, the issuance of Mitsubishi shares on the stock market has unknowingly accounted for 35% of Mitsubishi's total share capital, with a total amount of nearly 1.5 million yen.
In other words, the Japanese estimate the market value of Mitsubishi at more than 4 million yen, which is really amazing in small Japan.
Coupled with some small shareholders within Mitsubishi Textile, not many people noticed that when the war broke out, Mitsubishi Textile's shares held by Mino Pingbei had reached a very dangerous point - 55%.
But now, Mitsubishi Textile's market value has plummeted, and when the news of the Netherlands breaking up with Britain reached Japan, the whole of Japan threw pessimism on Mitsubishi's head.
So how many people have discovered that Mitsubishi stocks, which have fallen a lot of platinum into cabbage, have unknowingly returned to the hands of Mino Pingbei and some mysterious accounts.
The latter, of course, is Tang Feipeng and others.
As the main source of funds behind Tang Feipeng, this battle is actually a scene in which the left hand of the Commercial Bank fights the right hand. It's just that no one knows about it!
This is one of the highest secrets in China's financial system, and a large number of state-owned conglomerates are kept in the dark. Unlike the British, the main commodity in Britain today is textiles, but cloth is only one of many major export items for China. And in recent years, most of the new cloth production has filled the domestic market. The price of all kinds of cloth has been declining, the income of the domestic people has been increasing, cloth as one of the necessities of human life and survival, for many years under the suppression of the poor environment, the outbreak of sales power of China's countless lower classes is like a boundless bottomless pit, sweeping away the domestic textile products that are quickly guaranteed.
And there are so many additional markets in China, and now China's textile industry really does not lack a piece of Japan. But if you think about it in the long run, it is absolutely profitable to take precautions to suppress Japan's local textile industry. The small Dongying Islands are home to more than 20 million people, and this is a huge market, the second largest in the whole of the East after China.
But this is only a starting point for the ultimate purpose of the bank, because the bank does not only focus on the textile industry, they also have a huge interest in other aspects of finance. Of course, this is not to say that the trade bank does not pay attention to Mitsubishi, on the contrary, they are very concerned about Mitsubishi, because in this plan, Mitsubishi Textile is only the foundation of the Mitsubishi consortium. Mitsubishi started by relying on the textile industry, but when the time comes, Mitsubishi will step into other industries, and I don't see that even if Mino Pingbei has the right to operate Mitsubishi Textile, he has not completely abandoned the foreign trade industry in his hands.
Mitsubishi Boshoku is also the first base point for the Bank of Commerce to set foot in Japan!
Not only do they have to control Mitsubishi in secret, but in order to expand their influence, they must also show enough strength on the surface to take a stake in Mitsubishi. Even if we know that the ceiling of Japan's textile industry is very low, in the current era, the lifeblood of the development of Japan's textile industry, which is closed to the country, - raw materials are firmly in China's hands, but when watching the Japanese textile industry continue to grow rapidly in recent years, it is impossible to say that the trade bank can be happy. This is a hidden danger in the end!
In the southeast coast of China, where the textile industry is developed, the trade bank has a huge interest in the textile industry. Therefore, the investment of the Bank of Commerce in Mitsubishi is also a heavy blow to the Japanese textile industry.
It was His Majesty who was wise enough to lay down Tang Feipeng's chess piece early, and now he is letting the Commerce and Trade Bank fly in Japan. The whole of Japan was kept in the dark, and the Japanese who knew the truth all got that cute red book.
……
Time passed day by day, and when Bao Zhidao's book of excerpts was handed to Chen Ming, Japan's affairs had already entered the rhythm of closing the net.
"The Japanese stock market is less than 2% of Mitsubishi shares in the hands of outsiders, and after the stock exchange suspended stock trading, the unofficial Mitsubishi stock trading, the last single stock price has fallen to 1.5 yen a share, and it is time to close the net." No matter how late it is, Sanye Pingbei will really not be able to support it.
The entire Japanese market has already regarded Mitsubishi as a dead thing, and there is no room for turning over.
It is also conceivable that when the news of Mitsubishi's sudden cooperation with China's big cotton merchants came back to Japan, the shock brought back by the resurrection was instantaneous. What's more, there was the capital injection and equity participation of the Commercial Bank. Yes, this time the trade bank is no longer a pure loan, but after seeing Mitsubishi's predicament, they insisted on taking a stake in Mitsubishi, and ate 25% of the shares at once, and the funds were paid in the form of yen and some cotton.
Mino Pingbei was 'helpless' and could only accept it. Ryiichi Sato, the representative of Mitsubishi in charge of the negotiations, thought more than once about being chopped into pieces by a group of radical rightists wielding a samurai knife when he returned to China......
After obtaining a 25% stake in Mitsubishi Boshoku, the Bank of Commerce can openly send people to the headquarters of Mitsubishi in Nagasaki, which is the best start, and then seek more shares of Mitsubishi little by little, as long as the controlling stake in Mino Pingbei under the 'peaceful' situation is guaranteed, then it will be fine.
In this way, the Bank of Commerce and Trade will be able to deal with many local Japanese business groups in an open and honest manner, and lay a good foundation for monitoring the next step in Japan.
And this can hit the self-confidence of the Japanese rightists to a great extent, after all, at this time, Japan's Mitsubishi was desperate, and those rightists really launched a rescue operation, but their little money was like a drizzle, a drop in the bucket.
The whole of Japan feels that Mitsubishi is doomed, and it is normal for Mino Heibei to sell 25% of its shares to a commercial bank that has always supported him.
As for the suggestion that there is no need for the Bank of Commerce to intervene, Mitsubishi can return to Japan with the agreement and immediately come back to life after signing an agreement with the cotton merchant. That's not to bother at all. Those people are all people with brains in the water, but anyone with a little business acumen should be aware of the close connection between this cotton merchant who appeared under the recommendation of the trade bank and the trade bank.
The bank definitely played a dishonorable role in this deal, but they got everything they wanted.
……
Huangpu Wharf.
Shanghai in the drizzle is not beautiful at all, Huang Dingyou deliberately added a thick woolen coat when he went out of the newspaper, and this cold, damp and cold breath is still drilling into his bones.
"Lao Lu, see those boats on the dock. Get this out of the blue, and that's big news. Huang Dingyou shuddered, and then said, "I have already said hello to the labor company at the dock." You lead the team down, rest assured that the interview is bold, it must be detailed and pragmatic, and the whole thing is a big news. ”
"The first thematic report after the name change of our newspaper fell on your shoulders."
"Ahh Huang Dingyou sneezed loudly.
With the continuous expansion of the influence of the Far East newspaper, more and more readers reflected the name of the newspaper and thought that the title "Far East" was undignified. This is the name of the foreigners, and it is the general name for the easternmost region of Asia when the Western countries began to expand to the east, they take Europe as the center, call Southeast Europe and Northeast Africa the "Near East", call the vicinity of West Asia the "Middle East", and call the farther East the "Far East". And the real center of the earth should be in China!
The reader is the uncle of the newspaper, and no one will compete with his uncle. The big proprietor is as good as a stream, and immediately decided to 'change the name'. So what is the name to change? Li Kuncai was reluctant to replace the signboard so silently, he obtained the true scriptures from his brother-in-law, and started a very vigorous operation - the name of the newspaper was solicited nationwide, and the ideal was ambitious, not confined to one place.
For example, Songhu, Yangtze River or something, just save it.
The name bounty is as high as 10,000 Chinese dollars for one month.
In the end, the person who won this 'honor' was the queen's mother, who thought that the newspaper should forget itself and be selfless, which can be described as Ta Kung Pao.
The newspaper's own jury admired this idea, and the new name of the newspaper was called "Ta Kung Pao", and the 10,000 yuan naming fee was really sent to the queen's mother, and the queen added another 40,000 yuan, plus the support of other palace concubines in the harem, and donated 100,000 yuan to Shanghai's Nursery Hall and Anjifang.
As everyone knows, the queen has always been committed to the philanthropy of the empire!
As the leader of the Yangtze River and a rapidly developing foreign trade city, Shanghai can be said to be one of the most prosperous places in the Yangtze River basin and the eastern coastal area, with hundreds of large and small ships docking here every day. At one of the wharves in Huangpu port, nearly 100 workers are loading boxes of goods onto a cargo ship.
Although the weather was very cold and cold, the workers who braved the rain were still very thin, except for a rainproof tarpaulin coat outside, the inside was just a simple cloth coat, and even the chest was open.
At the end of the year, the Shanghai docks were clogged with ships. There is no idle time for steam cranes, so that many wharves have a large number of manual handling. Steam power and manpower go hand in hand.
"Boss, all the goods have been moved......" A foreman wiped the sweat from his face and said to the boss standing aside as he carried the last box of cotton cloth wrapped in oilcloth onto the ship. Many of these workers have changed careers, but they know very well when there is a lot of cargo on the dock that they can't lift it, and now is a good time for them to make money. Although it is very hard and tiring to transport goods every day, you can really make a lot of money.
The boss, who was wrapped in a bearskin coat outside, bowed his head slightly, and took out the pre-loaded banknotes from his pocket. "Three hundred yuan, everyone worked hard today!"
"Where, where......" took the money handed by the boss, and the foreman had a smile on his face.
Lao Lu, the news editor-in-chief of the newspaper, came over with someone at this time.
Where are these cotton cloths shipped?
