Section 178: Rushing to the doctor when he is ill

Buffett's strategy is very correct, because Fuji Bank now has less than 20 percent of the shares of the Yasuda family, the first shareholder of the board of directors, because of the reason for multiple share allotments, even if it is purchased in accordance with the normal way, it only takes 8 billion US dollars to become the largest shareholder of Fuji Bank, and the proportion of retail investors in the market has reached 40 percent, which is a very dangerous signal, once Buffett becomes the largest shareholder, he will immediately announce the convening of the board of directors, use a large amount of Fuji Bank's capital to acquire other large enterprises of the Furong consortium, and exchange the shares of Fuji Bank in Tongguò's own control for the same amount of shares of foreign companies, in order to achieve their own goals, if the people of the Hibiscus consortium had insight into Buffett's purpose from the beginning, I am afraid they would not have watched the fall of Fuji Bank.

At the end of the eighties of the last century, a large number of Japanese companies bought a large number of domestic landmark enterprises, this time it seems to have fallen, Fuji Bank's influence in Japan is like Citibank in the United States, once the success of this acquisition will hit the confidence of more Japanese investors, will intensify the panic selling of the market, the stock market will be more sluggish, the acquisition will be easier, after the first round of testing, Buffett is waiting for the next move of Fuji Bank management, if you can borrow a large amount of money to buy back, you have to reformulate your own acquisition plan, but the probability of this situation is less than 10%, because the other companies in the Hibiscus consortium are deeply injuredIt is impossible to lend a large amount of money to Yasuda, an old man, and if Fuji Bank does not react two days later, it will be his end, and it will also be announced that the end of the entire Hibiscus consortium and even the six major consortia has arrived.

Fuji Bank headquarters, the board of directors convened by Yasuda.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the last moment of Fuji Bank, and the Investment Department has found out that an American force wants to take advantage of the weakness of our Japanese Empire to buy our Fuji Bank in one fell swoop, so I hope that you can do your part to lend money to the group, so that we have enough funds to fight a takeover war with the other party. At that time, Yasuda drew a large amount of money to respond to the government's call to save the market, but the market did not save it, but instead put his group into it, resulting in the current weakness, a billion-dollar acquisition will hold a board of directors.

"Yasuda-kun, how much money can we come up with internally? We have just experienced a financial crisis, and it is impossible to come up with funds, so I think it is better to ask for help from within the consortium, and besides, even in our heyday, we were not able to rely on our bank's own strength to confront the American investment group. "The other major shareholder of Fuji Bank, Abe Guiichi, who owns 15 percent of Fuji Bank's shares and is the second largest shareholder of Fuji Bank, is more afraid of Fuji Bank being acquired than Yasuda, because all his assets are here, and this person basically can't think of anything after the accident except to ask the consortium for help.

"Yes, Yasuda-kun, just a billion dollars of us are not a drop in the bucket for the huge Americans, so it's better to ask the consortium to intervene. And they all exhorted.

Yasuda actually wanted the consortium to intervene more than them, and he began to contact Jing Shou Junichi, the leader of the Hibiscus Consortium, from the beginning of the accident, but Jing Shou, the old guy, didn't answer his phone call at all, and only found a secretary to tell him that the consortium still had less than 10 billion US dollars left, which was used to deal with the most critical period of the major groups, remembering that his Fuji Bank was the most important enterprise in the entire Furong Consortium in the past, and when the Furong Consortium was formed, Jing Shou patted his shoulder and said that the consortium would carry it if there was something in the future, but over the years, in addition to contributing to the consortium, there was no current consortium to contribute to himself。

After more than an hour of meeting, the results were not discussed, and the major shareholders also had the idea of letting others worry about it, everyone really had their own ideas, Yasuda estimated that some small shareholders may be trying to contact the big boss in the United States to find a suitable price to sell their shares, you must know that this thing is the one who went early, and it is useless to go late, it is impossible to rely on these people to stick to Fuji Bank, Yasuda also has to take the road he is least willing to take, his son-in-law is the president of Citibank's bank in Japan, and he should be able to borrow billions of funds from him, and his family is also a big family in the United States, but what kind of person is his son-in-law Yasuda knows very well, he has long wanted to live in Fuji Bank, but he didn't agree, this time it's time to burn his eyebrows, it's better to let his son-in-law intervene than outsiders, thinking of this, Yasuda contacted his daughter and asked his daughter and son-in-law to go home for dinner, and her daughter agreed.

The atmosphere of dinner is very good, a total of six people, Yasuda's two wives, a son and a daughter plus a son-in-law, before his father-in-law did not really want to call himself to the house to eat, today I don't know what reason is so polite to himself, although Peter is an American, but his sister married a Chinese, and also understands an old Chinese saying "If something happens, there must be a demon", it seems that today's meal is not so delicious, sure enough, after dinner, before a few sips of tea, the old father-in-law called himself to the study and talked about "business." ”。

"Peter, how are you doing at Citibank? Yasuda seemed to ask unintentionally, he had never entered this father-in-law's study before, and today he was really flattered.

"It's okay, I seem to have heard from a friend that you're in some trouble, father?" asked Pete as if he didn't mean to, if you don't say it, I won't say it.

"Hehe, there are some business problems, but they are all small things, is your father okay?" may have told his son-in-law that it was a very difficult thing for his company to fail, and Yasuda had to start talking nonsense.

"My dad just bought a farm in Brazil, and it's okay, but my sister is getting married next month, and he's inviting you to Chicago for the wedding. "You can calm down and I'm the same, Peter made up his mind to let this arrogant old father-in-law speak, besides, he knows what is going on, the family has long been going to enter Fuji Bank by himself, and this time I have to ask him to speak.

"Okay, I'll definitely go to participate, but I've been in some trouble lately, I've had some financial problems, and I may be busy, so I'll have to ask your father for your forgiveness if I'm not available." "Let's get to the point.

"Do you need my help? Our family still has some spare money. Peter's family is also a Berkshire Hathaway antique, and he also gained a lot last time, but this time he didn't know that this acquisition war was started by Buffett, and if he knew, he was afraid that this dinner would not come.

"Hehe, I can solve it myself, but recently we Fuji Bank is going to sell some shares to finance, you also know the crisis caused by the financial crisis, I don't know if your family is interested in Fuji Bank, Apricot itself has three percent of the shares, so small shares also play a role in the board of directors, today we discussed to raise five billion US dollars, about nine percent of the company, I think you should be interested. "This old guy is obviously begging someone to do things and putting on a high-minded appearance, you must know that Peter looks down on his father-in-law in his bones, and roughly estimated, he is profitable according to this price, but the family may not be able to take out so much money, and now that you are in a difficult time, I am willing to help you naturally have a higher profit than usual.

"Nine percent seems to be a bit less, my father mentioned to me, if five billion can get ten percent, I think it's okay, but I can't be the master, I have to go back and discuss it with my father. "When I hit Yasuda's psychological price, I said that I was going back to discuss, but in fact, I was going back to finance.

Yasuda thought about it and agreed, at this time the loss is still for his son-in-law, and when the second round of international speculation begins, it is not a matter of losing a little bit, Peter did not stay long, after all, he can also get billions of benefits in the future after the success of this transaction, his father has always been dissatisfied with marrying a Japanese daughter-in-law, this time he should be a little more interested in himself, don't you know, at this moment his father is attending the Berkshire Hathaway charity ball with Buffett, poor Yasuda himself pushed himself into the fire pit。
