Chapter 1411: I Want Nikon
However, there is a big problem with the acquisition of Nikon, that is, although Nikon is a listed company in the United States, only 40% of Nikon's outstanding shares are held, and the remaining 60% are in the hands of major institutions.
Although the four major consortia do not directly interfere with Nikon's operations, the most stocks are indeed in their hands.
Moreover, because Nikon is a well-known company in Fuso, if Nikon is acquired, it will inevitably cause great repercussions and problems in Fuso, and even interfere at the government level, so Daqian will be very uncomfortable.
Therefore, if Jia Yapeng wants to acquire Nikon, then he must get the support of the four major consortia, so that he can obtain all the shares of Nikon from the four major consortia and then launch an acquisition plan.
Secondly, he was able to use the political influence of the four major consortia to help him settle the problems of the Fuso government, so that Nikon was acquired.
It's just that Boss Jia has always felt that he doesn't have enough chips to make the four major consortia compromise, but the other party actually took the initiative to send chips to the door, and of course Boss Jia has to make good use of it.
"Nikon ......" Mitsui Hideyi hesitated, although Nikon has been getting worse and worse recently, it is still profitable, and the annual dividend is not bad.
Moreover, Nikon, Canon, and Sony have formed an iron triangle of optical technology in the entire Fuso to ensure that Fuso will have a sufficient market share in the world optical field in the future.
Once the triangle loses a corner, then Jia Yapeng will have the ability to take away the optical market.
In Mitsui Hideyi's view, Jia Yapeng definitely took a fancy to the digital camera market and wanted to enter this market through Nikon, after all, Boss Jia had robbed a huge share of the music market to a large extent by releasing MP3, which made Sony's stock plummet by about 5%, which hurt the four major consortia.
Although they won't do anything to Daqian because of 80 billion, if there is no problem with disgusting, this is also an important reason for the formation of this investigation team.
But now, Daqian wants to enter the digital camera market, according to Daqian's previous brilliant achievements, it is not possible to occupy a huge share of the digital camera and digital photography market, then the stocks of the major companies below them, will not plummet again.
So Boss Jia's estimate is actually not wrong, Mitsui Hideyi and the four major consortia behind him are actually very reluctant to sell Nikon shares.
If Daqian proposed to acquire it under normal circumstances, I am afraid that it would be rejected by the four major consortia at that time.
But this time, there is a contract of 80 billion here, and Mitsui Hideyi is a little waxy.
"I'm willing to buy Nikon at a 30% premium to the market capitalization, and now that Nikon's total market capitalization is $4 billion, I'm willing to pay $5.2 billion to buy all of Nikon's shares!" Boss Jia added.
In order to acquire Qualcomm's shares, he used various means to suppress Qualcomm's stock price, and finally bought Qualcomm at a very low price.
As a result, now in the face of Nikon, Boss Jia does not lower the price, and directly premiums by 30%, which is arrogant!
"$5.2 billion!" Mitsui Hideyi's eyes lit up, then the profit in this is quite good, and it doesn't seem to be impossible.
However, this kind of thing is obviously not something that Mitsui Hideyoshi can decide alone, so Mitsui Hideyi said that he would discuss it with others, so Mitsui Hideyi flew back to Fuso directly that night and communicated with the representatives of the four major consortia.
"No, you can't sell Nikon shares, this is to train competitors for us!!" The fiercest opposition continues to be from Sumitomo Group, which owns a large stake in the Canon Group.
Once Daqian enters Nikon, then Canon is bound to face an even more terrifying opponent, which Sumitomo Group absolutely does not want to see.
"Hehe, I'm afraid the most unqualified person we have here is you!" The representative of the Mitsubishi Foundation said with a smile. Indeed, because of the purchase of a large number of shares in the Canon Group, the Sumitomo Group's stake in Nikon is the least, only about 4%, and with the other three consortiums all above 10%, the Sumitomo Foundation is indeed not qualified to speak.
"I don't think I can sell it!" The representative of the Fuji Foundation sighed and said, "Haven't you noticed that Daqian is actually frantically devouring our Fuso market now?" ”
"It was Sony before, and then they occupied the broadband market, and now they are targeting the digital camera market, which is to completely swallow up the international market that originally belonged to our Fuso!"
"When the time comes, all these markets will become a big one, so what can we do even if we have a large number of dollars in the air? Daqian, this is to dig our roots! The Fuji Foundation's words silenced many people present.
That's right, the rise of Daqian Group does make them feel frightened, otherwise they would not be so active in promoting the establishment of the investigation team, after all, although the bank's loan agreement is written that special funds can be investigated, but there are few banks that really investigate, which is against the unspoken rules of the entire industry.
But the four major consortia still did it, that is, they hoped to take this opportunity to take down the Daqian Group, so as not to cultivate an opponent that they themselves were afraid of in the future.
But everything is so bad, not only did Daqian Group not take it, but now it is bitten by the opponent and forced them to sell Nikon!
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you said is not wrong, but let me ask you, if Daqian wants to enter the digital camera market, can we stop it?" Mitsui Hideyi said with a smile. "Don't forget, in the previous personal music market and the mobile phone market, Daqian didn't buy any company, but directly killed it with his own strength, and then defeated other companies in the industry."
"According to my contact with Jia Yapeng, this is a very cunning man, and he will not give up until his goal, once he values something, he will inevitably kill him, he must get it!"
"Even if we can keep Nikon from selling, what about Daqian going to buy Canon?"
"Or just buy Samsung's optics business?"
"Even if he buys Zeiss directly, it is not necessarily, after all, the current market value of this company is only 2.5 billion US dollars, which is cheaper than Nikon, but the technology is higher, but Europe is more reactionary, and it is difficult to start!"
"Even if these Daqian can't buy it, I think Daqian will enter this market single-handedly, and we can't stop it!" Mitsui Hideyi said, "So instead of refusing, it is better to sell Nikon to him." Anyway, Nikon has been in decline, and it has completely lost to Canon in terms of technology, and the market has been completely controlled by Canon. As long as we can keep Canon, the digital camera market will not change much! ”。
"But Nikon has the technology in his hands!" The people of the Sumitomo Foundation snorted coldly and said, "The biggest threshold in the digital camera market is actually the threshold of technology patents, and Nikon is the key, without this key, it is difficult for Daqian to enter." You asked us to sell Nikon, this is to lure the wolf into the house, did you take a lot of benefits? ”
"Yes, I did receive a lot of benefits!" Unexpectedly, Mitsui Xiuyi nodded very simply and said, "Jia Yapeng promised me that as long as I make every effort to promote this matter, no matter whether it is successful or not, the loan contract with our Mitsui consortium will continue and will not change!" ”
"You ......" The eyes of the three major consortia are red, and the relationship and this guy are the ones who eat alone!
