Chapter 332
"I own 41% of Hachiman Steel, and I'll help get all the shares.
The president of Fuji Steel Co., Ltd. is Takehiro Hino, and although we are competitors, we have a good relationship in private, and his shares are about 40 percent.
If a new steel company were formed, the two of us would probably take about 35% of the shares. ”
Inayama Kakuan thought a little in his heart, and then said worriedly.
If other shareholders can be kicked out of the board, it will be easier to manage the new steel plant after the merger, and the team will be much stronger.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhonghua was directly happy in his heart, and he spent less money like this, and it was more refreshing to win the future steel giant for less than 700 million US dollars.
Although in the Internet era, steel companies are not good, but they are also the world's top 500 enterprises, they are only increasing the base, steel is the real foundation is also one of the pillar industries, it seems that the Internet industry is very profitable, but the real status is not so profitable steel, automobiles and other industries are still worse.
The incomparably large number of employees under these companies alone is a trump card in their hands.
"No problem, if the two companies merge smoothly, our company will be called Xindongying Iron Company, so that I can continue to create the previous brilliant achievements and continue to become the overlord of the steel industry in the whole of Asia and even the world."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
The prototype of Nippon Steel has almost been completed, which is more than two years earlier than the merger of Nippon Steel in the previous life, and Nippon Steel can also become a global giant one step earlier, and it is cool to step into heavy industry!
Inayama Yoshihiro respectfully sent Zhang Zhonghua out of Hachiman Steel, watching Zhang Zhonghua leave with his bodyguards, a smile appeared on the corner of Inayama Yoshikuan's mouth, if the two steel companies of Yawata and Fuji Steel merged, it would be very interesting to form the giant New Toei Iron Company.
Yawata Steel has more than a dozen small shareholders, so let's buy those shares first, the merger of the two companies will take a month or two at the earliest, Inayama Yoshihiro smiled bitterly and went back to the office to write the acquisition plan.
"The Dongying government won't get in the way, right?" Zhang Zhonghua is still a little worried, if he prevents the merger, it will be really depressed.
"Probably not, most of the government-owned enterprises were bought by private individuals after the war, and these two companies are not listed companies. Yawata Steel was bought by a number of minority shareholders, and Fuji Steel is not a property of the Fuji Foundation, so there is no conflict with the Toei consortium. ”
Zhang Zhonghua still knows more about these Dongying consortiums, and now except for the largest No. 1 Quanyin consortium in the future, which has not been formed, the other five consortia have basically formed a prototype, and they will develop rapidly in the 70s.
The relationship between the Toei consortium was complicated, with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. close to the Sumitomo Foundation, Sony Corporation close to the Mitsui Foundation, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. close to the Mitsubishi Foundation, and Hitachi Manufacturing Co., Ltd. participating in the management meetings of the Fuji, Miwa, and Daiichi Koyo Consortiums.
After World War II, the disbanded enterprises of the Toei chaebol system gradually converged to form a monopoly capital group.
After the surrender of Dongying in 1945, the occupation forces of the Choguo Kingdom implemented the measure of "disbanding the chaebol" through the Dongying government, and the old chaebol disintegrated.
In 1948, due to the change in the international situation, the pressure of the occupying forces of the ugly country began to ease.
In 1950, when the Chou Kingdom launched the Korean War of Aggression, Dongying became a base for the supply of military materials and labor services, and thus gained huge benefits.
Since the chaebol banks were not touched at the time of the dissolution of the chaebol, from the early 50s onwards, the former chaebol banks were formed one after another with the managers of the major companies in the former system as the center.
By the early 70s, a number of monopoly capital groups led by six major consortia, including Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanwa, and Daiichi Silver, were formed.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
The main monopoly consortium of Toei is Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo, which are basically composed of enterprises in the original chaebol system; The Fuji and Daiichi Bank Consortium was formed by the combination of companies with different chaebol systems; The Sanhe Consortium is an emerging monopoly capital group.
The Mitsubishi Foundation, the former Mitsubishi Corporation of the Mitsubishi Chaebol was divided into about 140 small companies at the time of the "dissolution of the chaebol",
In 1954, Mitsubishi Corporation was established as a new general trading company, Mitsubishi Corporation, by merging four companies, including Mitsubishi Corporation, Fuji Corporation, Totsu Trading, and East-West Exchange. At the same time, the "Golden Dawn Society", a meeting of managers of each company of the former Mitsubishi system, was formed.
In 1955, the companies of the system jointly established the Mitsubishi Atomic Energy Commission.
In 1956, Mitsubishi Oil & Chemical Corporation was established to form the Mitsubishi Foundation. The consortium is mainly engaged in heavy industry and chemical industry, and is the strongest of the six major consortiums. Bank of Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation are its three pillars.
In 1976, there were 28 core enterprises of the "Golden Yao Society", among which Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Chemical Industry, Mitsubishi Petrochemical, Mitsubishi Steel, Asahi Glass, etc. were the first and second-rate enterprises in the same industry in the country.
The Mitsui Foundation, the former Mitsui & Co. of the Mitsui Zaibatsu, was split into nearly 200 small companies in the early postwar period.
In 1959, Daiichi & Co. and Mitsui & Co. were merged to form a general trading company, Mitsui & Co. Co., Ltd. As early as 1950, the managers of Mitsui Systems companies formed a manager's meeting, the "Yueyao Society".
In 1960, the "Nigi Society" was formed. In 1955, Mitsui Petrochemical Industry Co., Ltd. was established by Mitsui Systems companies, and in 1956, the Toei Atomic Energy Association was established, and the Mitsui Foundation was formed.
In 1978, the number of enterprises belonging to these two organizations had reached 52. The core of the consortium is Mitsui Bank, Mitsui & Co., and Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., and major companies such as Totsu Shibaura Electric, Toyota Motor, Mitsui Petrochemical, and Oji Paper are among the top companies in the country.
The Mitsui Consortium mainly operates light and extractive industries, and is relatively weak in the heavy chemical industry and financial industry compared to other large conglomerates.
Since the heavy chemical industry accounted for a large proportion of the former Sumitomo zaibatsu companies, the post-war economic policy of giving priority to the development of the heavy chemical industry, centered on the revival of basic industrial sectors such as coal and fertilizers, created conditions for the revival of the chaebol system.
By the mid-50s, the Sumitomo Foundation was beginning to take shape. In addition to the four major financial institutions of Sumitomo Bank, Sumitomo Trust Bank, Sumitomo Marine Fire Insurance Company, and Sumitomo Life Insurance Company, the main departments of the system companies are called "Whitewater Club", and the main departments are Sumitomo Chemical Industries, Sumitomo Heavy Machinery Industries, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Sumitomo Cement Co., Ltd., and their trading organization, Sumitomo Corporation.
The Fuji Foundation, formerly known as the Yasuda Zaibatsu. In 1948, Yasuda Bank changed its name to Fuji Bank, and then formed a management association with some companies in the former Asano, Nissan, Mori, and Okura systems, called the "Hibiscus Society", to form the Fuji Consortium centered on Fuji Bank, also known as the Hibiscus Foundation.
Twenty-nine companies participated in the event, including four major financial institutions, including Fuji Bank, Yasuda Trust Bank, Yasuda Marine Fire Insurance Company, and Yasuda Life Insurance Company, as well as giant companies such as Nissan Motor, Toei Steel Pipe, and Kubota Iron Works Co., Ltd., as well as Marubeni, a general trading company.
In 1967, managers from dozens of companies, including Miwa Bank, Ube Industries, Hitachi Shipbuilding, Teijin, Maruzen Oil, Kobe Steel, Nissho Iwai, and Takashimaya, formed a manager's association, known as the "Sansui Association", and formed the Sanwa Foundation centered on the Sanwa Bank. The consortium is relatively loose, and its subsidiaries such as Hitachi Manufacturing and Kobe Steel are cross-system companies.
In 1971, the Dai-ichi Bank and Toei Bank merged to form the Dai-ichi Bank, and later formed a joint manager's association called the Dai-ichi Koyo Foundation with the old Furukawa Zaibatsu's "Furukawa Sansuzukai", the former Kawasaki Chaebol's "Mukai", and the former Koyo Bank's "15th Company Association" due to their loan relationship.
Its members are complex, with numerous factions and loose combinations. First Quanye Bank is the largest private bank in Dongying, and its strength can compete with the world's largest banks. The core of the consortium is mainly composed of Dai-ichi Koye Bank, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., and Fujitsu Corporation. In addition, major companies include Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, Toei Light Metals, Isuzu Motors, Furukawa Electric, and Yoto Chung Corporation.
It's not so easy to mix in Dongying, it's better not to touch those core areas first, let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity, it's easy to be besieged now, Zhang Zhonghua doesn't want to die.
Zhang Zhonghua let out a long sigh, money is not everything.
On this day, Zhang Zhonghua watched the progress of his work in the office for half a month, and he was quite satisfied with his banknote ability.
The supermarket project is progressing well, the staff of the marketing department of the Dongying branch have bought 10 large stores, and the traditional supermarket has also acquired 8, and then continue to buy and renovate.
The supplier of the source of goods is still relatively easy to find, and the channels of the Jade Emperor Group in Southeast Asia are not weak.
Nippon Steel's progress is a bit slow, and some small shareholders want to open their mouths, which is a dream. For those who were unwilling to sell their shares, Inayama Kakuan also began to make a fuss, increasing investment and diluting shares.
Yoshihiro Inayama will soon be able to form a wholly owned stake in Yawata Steel, and then he will be able to start acquiring Fuji Steel, although it will take some time for the two companies to reorganize and merge.
Gong Qigao walked into the office and saw that a boss was still reading the report, and couldn't help but sigh that the boss's enthusiasm for work was really high.
"Boss, it is rumored that Bruce Lee is going back to Hong Kong Island to develop!"
"At present, although there are not many TV users on Hong Kong Island, the film industry is about to usher in great development, and it is normal for Mr. Li to have the idea of returning to Hong Kong Island for development."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
The ugly country is the most popular TV, followed by Dongying, and both countries have TV giants.
"Li's voice has been on the air for more than ten years, but it charges a monthly fee of 25 Hong Kong dollars per month. TVB is free, and the future programs will be in Chinese, and there must be a lot of new users, but it is not easy to make money. ”
Gong Qigao said with a smile.
"Uncle Six has become a TV tycoon from a movie tycoon, and he can watch wonderful programs in the future."
The star Zhang Zhonghua in the 60s really didn't know anyone, and the only thing he knew was that Bruce Lee was still opening a museum in Ugly Country to accept apprentices, although he said that he wanted to return to Hong Kong Island, but he didn't return to Hong Kong Island until 1971 to join Golden Harvest Film Company.
However, "Happy Tonight" has also been launched, which is a long-lived variety show on Hong Kong Island TVB, which has been broadcast live every Friday night for 27 years, and was changed to Saturday night live broadcast for a period of time in the 80s, and the number of episodes produced is listed in the world record.
In 1971, Radio began to hold artist training classes that would later be known as the "Star Factory", cultivating a large number of film and television superstars who later became popular in Hong Kong and Macau.
"Boss, you don't have the idea of entering the film and television industry?"
"Not for the time being, let them all be low-key, our consistent style is to be low-key and high-profile things, although the film and television industry can make some money, but what they are earning at present is a small amount of money after all, which is not worth mentioning."
Zhang Zhonghua doesn't even dare to go back to Hong Kong Island now, the club is a little too ruthless, although Zhang Long and they still have the Jade Emperor's security has been settled, but who knows if there will be any reckless moves, and the gentleman will not stand under the dangerous wall.
"By the way, boss, there seem to be banks on Hong Kong Island that seem to be sold to the outside world, and there are a lot of restrictions on the banking regulations on Hong Kong Island, should we take it?"
Gong Qigao said.
"Didn't the regulations just change a few years ago, the Hong Kong government has stopped issuing banking licenses, and the Hong Kong Island government has issued some strange regulations?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
The first banks on Hong Kong Island were all set up by British banks.
The Oriental Bank, headquartered in London, set up a branch in Hong Kong in 1845, making it the first British-funded bank to set up in Hong Kong and the first commercial bank on Hong Kong Island. Later, other British-funded banks came to Hong Kong one after another, and Lee Bank and Standard Chartered Bank were also the first British-funded banks to open branches in Hong Kong.
In 1865, HSBC Bank Hong Kong Island was established, becoming the first commercial bank to be registered on Hong Kong Island.
In 1866, HSBC was allowed to join the note-issuing business, quickly replacing the Oriental Bank as the largest bank on Hong Kong Island, and later acquired the Oriental Bank.
At the beginning of the century, Chinese-funded enterprises gradually emerged and developed on Hong Kong Island, and dozens of banks were established successively, which led to the rise of Chinese-funded banks. Because Hong Kong and Britain had always adopted a laissez-faire policy at that time, basically no supervision of banking business, and there was no law to supervise the establishment of banks, the number of banks soared for a time, and the number of banks reached 143 at the peak in 1948.
The large number of banks and the lack of regulation have led to uneven quality and disorderly competition among banks, and bank runs have occurred from time to time.
After more than 100 years of disorderly development since the opening of the port, the banking industry on Hong Kong Island was born, especially after the vicious competition after the war, which gave birth to the Banking Ordinance of 1948. The initial purpose of the regulation was to protect the interests of public depositors and avoid possible social problems, which greatly discouraged the blind expansion of the banking industry. Subsequently, a large number of banks that did not comply with the requirements of the Banking Ordinance were eliminated, although the Regulation did not regulate the competitive conduct of banks.
The blind deposit price war has led to an increase in the cost of funds, which has forced some banks to concentrate too much on high-yield, high-risk investments and lending projects, and real estate is one of them.
Ten years ago, the real estate industry suffered a setback, and banks were run on again, and many banks were acquired.
In December 1964, the Hong Kong government announced the implementation of a new version of the Banking Ordinance, which imposed many restrictions on banks. In January 1965, shortly after the ordinance was promulgated, a series of bank runs, failures, and takeovers erupted, and the Hong Kong government decided to freeze the issuance of new banking licenses. This year, the Hong Kong government has added to the "Banking Ordinance" the supervision of bank share capital and liquid assets, and has eliminated a number of banks. ”
Zhang Zhonghua also knows how crazy the bank is.
Isn't it a typical embezzlement of public funds for bank shareholders to invest depositors' money in their own family or friend's company?
Zhang Zhonghua originally thought that the stock market system on Hong Kong Island was not sound, but he did not expect that the bank system was even more outrageous.
