Following Chen Xing's order, Li Daxiao, Yang Delong, and Liu Jipeng immediately contacted the overseas fund managers who held the stocks on their behalf.
In a flash.
Jiajia Overseas Fund issued a statement.
[Notice of Transfer of Share Rights of Songshan Fund]
[In view of the urgent need for strategic adjustment, the Fund has decided to transfer the rights to 0.7% of the shares of Toyota Group it holds to Longxing International Investment Fund. This decision is intended to promote Both parties share resources and complement each other's advantages to jointly promote the long-term development of target projects.
After this letter is issued, Longxing International Investment Fund will replace our Songshan Fund and exercise the power of 0.7% of Toyota Group's shares. If you have any questions or need further discussion, you can contact us at any time. ]
Songshan Fund, CPF Wealth Fund, and Neuberger Berman International Investment Fund have all issued global statements on the transfer of share rights.
It is worth mentioning here that they are not transferring shares, but the rights to the shares. Even if the Toyota Group Board of Directors clarifies the "Poison Pill Plan", the conditions for triggering the rights will not be met.
To put it bluntly, this statement from the major funds is the "Conformity of Action Contract".
"Conformity of Action Contract" is often seen in multi-person startups. For example, a company has five founders, and each person contributes money and technology. In the end, it is determined based on their contribution, and each person is assigned a 20% equity ratio.
If a startup company has no background, it will definitely have to go through financing, which is the ABC round of capital injection.
Capital does not invest money in vain. When they inject capital, they will take away a certain proportion of shares, which is equivalent to capital investment.
As rounds A, B, and C are raised, the company's shares will be extremely dispersed. If the founders do not sign the "Conformity of Action Contract", they will lose control of the company, because the A round of financing often takes away 20 % of the shares, not to mention other rounds of dilution.
The simple summary of the "Conformity of Action Contract" is that your shares are still yours, but the rights have been transferred to "someone". This "someone" is the representative elected by the founders of other companies. The power to exercise the stocks in their hands is used to ensure that the company is not held hostage by capital and is still in their hands.
As major funds released statements, Longxing International Investment Fund also released announcements on global and open online media platforms such as Weibo, TikTok, and Twitter.
[Toyota Group Board of Directors Adjustment Announcement]

When the "Toyota Group Board of Directors Adjustment Announcement" passed the Weibo machine review and was presented to the public, the entire Longguo Internet exploded in an instant.
[Wolong Jushi]: "Oh my god, where did this come from? Is this still domestic? Longxing International Investment Fund actually issued a document to dissolve the Toyota Group's board of directors?"
[小小亚Suo]: "Something is wrong, something is really wrong. I just checked. Longxing International Investment Fund was registered and established on Hong Kong Island. The largest shareholder is Longxing Group. In other words, the actual controller is Mr. Chen!"< br>
[Mingjian Jiuzhou]: “By forcibly dissolving the Toyota Group’s board of directors, is it possible that Toyota Group will become a Longzi enterprise in the future?”
[Invincible Xiaomei]: "Looking at this posture, I feel that the methods used by Mr. Chen are disgraceful, a bit like a hostile takeover of Toyota Group!"
Netizens looked at the announcement and already thought of the general process and methods.
Because of the normal acquisition of a company, there is no way to make an announcement to the outside world, and it is also necessary to remove the current chairman of the board and dissolve the existing board of directors. This is simply not right.
There is only one truth!
Chen Xing is forcibly acquiring Toyota Group!
The Internet spread very quickly. Within five minutes of the announcement, related terms appeared on the hot search list, and countless marketing accounts swarmed in, raising the popularity even higher.
"Normal Acquisition or Hostile Acquisition?" Longxing Group is suspected of forcibly acquiring Toyota Group. It has issued a document to remove all positions of Toyota Group's current chairman Takahiro Nishikawa and dissolve the entire board of directors. There is currently no response from Toyota Group! 》
《Incredible! The investment company controlled by Longxing Group actually issued a document to dissolve the Toyota Group's board of directors. Is this a distortion of human nature or a lack of law? 》
《Trillion Group is being annexed, we are about to witness history, Toyota Group is rumored to be seizing power, who will win this time? 》
With the help of marketing accounts, the popularity can be said to be overwhelming, covering the entire Internet.
The moment Ren Wanzhou, who was already in charge of Kunpeng Company, learned the news, he quickly opened Weibo to confirm the authenticity of the source of the news.
When she saw the announcement from the Blue V Certification Official Account, the shock in her pupils could no longer be suppressed. She even subconsciously opened her mouth a little, and her whole face was filled with shock.
"Longxing Group...acquired Toyota Group..."
Ren Wanzhou muttered to himself.
Even if the fact is right in front of her, she can't believe it is true.
A hostile takeover of a trillion-dollar group, or the world-famous Toyota Group, a Fortune 500 company. How long will it take for this to be secretly planned?
Perhaps many people don’t know the position of Toyota Group in the automobile industry.
Let’s put it this way, before new energy vehicles became the mainstream of the market, except for the Western automobile market, which was dominated by Volkswagen, it was firmly at the forefront in other regions.
It not only ranks first in global sales, but also has a complete and independent industrial system.
Other car companies need to purchase parts globally to build cars, but Toyota Group has long been self-sufficient and builds cars independently.
To reflect the quality of Toyota cars, you don’t need to look at other regions, only the Middle East.
In the Middle East, you can live without a Hummer or a Land Rover, but you cannot live without a Toyota Hilux pickup truck.
Those who don’t buy pickup trucks may not know that Hilux is hailed as the god of pickup trucks by car enthusiasts.
No overhaul for one million kilometers and no oil change for 100,000 kilometers are routine operations. It is most famous for its machine gun modifications.
Yes!
In movies or TV series, the pickup truck driven by armed forces in the Middle East, with a machine gun mounted on the roof, is basically a Toyota Hilux.
You don’t have to believe in the reviews of online bloggers, but you have to believe in the “Strict Selection of Armed Forces in the Middle East”!
It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as any country in the Middle East acquires the Toyota Group, it can instantly establish its own industrial system and start building a steady stream of aircraft and tanks, becoming the well-deserved little overlord of the Middle East.
Even BYD CEO Wang Fu has publicly stated that Toyota Group is an example for them to learn from and a target to catch up with. It is conceivable how high the status of Toyota Group is.
Longxing Group acquired Toyota Group. Ren Wanzhou thought again and again that he had made a mistake, but it turned out that he was right. Chen Xing really did something big!
This man is fine if he doesn't take action. Once he does, he will definitely make a big splash!
The first time he regained consciousness, Ren Wanzhou hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Ren Guofei, who was still in Fengtian.
“Dududu——”
After the busy tone, the call was connected.
"What does Wanzhou want from me?"
Ren Guofei's steady, rich and powerful voice came out.
Ever since Kunpeng Company was handed over to Ren Wanzhou, he rarely interfered with the company's affairs. In addition, the two of them lived separately in the north and south, and their communication had become very rare. Ren Wanzhou would only make decisions when Kunpeng Company was unsure about any major decisions. Call Ren Guofei.
"Longxing Group's hostile takeover of Toyota Group, are we involved?"
Having studied behind Ren Guofei for so long, she also knows very well that Ren Guofei and Chen Xing have an unimaginable relationship. of close cooperation.
If, as stated in the announcement, Longxing Group has taken control of Toyota Group, then its own company may also be involved.
If she is really involved, then she will have to adjust the company's strategic direction.
“What?”
After hearing this, Ren Guofei lost his composure and even raised his voice several times: "Hostile takeover of Toyota Group???"
"You don't know?"
"I don't know at all. Know.”
"..."
Ren Wanzhou was silent.
She thought Ren Guofei knew about it, but she didn't expect it to be Chen Xing's swan song.
Now the question arises, how did Longxing Group maliciously acquire Toyota Group?
Not only Ren Guofei and Ren Wanzhou couldn't figure it out, but also the company bosses such as Xiao Ma Ge, Jack Ma, Liu Dongzi, Zhou Hongwei and others who had just learned the news were stunned on the spot.
Trillion Group!
That’s a trillion-dollar group!
Quietly, the Toyota Group was forcibly acquired in an instant. They racked their brains and even tried to figure out how Chen Xing managed to collect 51% of the Toyota Group without anyone noticing. stock.
Not to mention the CEOs of private enterprises, even the head of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Xiao Gang, was down for more than ten seconds.
He couldn't believe it was true at first, thinking it was a marketing account spreading rumors. But when he found the original text, his mind went blank.
He thought that Chen Xing would make a big splash, but he really didn't expect that he would actually eat up the Toyota Group next door to Xiao Baga.
“Chen Xing…”
"How the hell should I evaluate you?"
He was convinced.
This time he was completely convinced.
If scientific research technology is the work of R&D personnel and has little to do with Chen Xing, then the mastermind behind this forced acquisition is definitely Chen Xing, and it must be him.
Song Weiguo, who had just completed the test launch of an intercontinental missile, which shocked the whole world, couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing the news:
"My intercontinental missile is flying in the sea, Chen The intercontinental missile launched by this guy is flying to the whole world!”
Toyota Group was forcibly acquired. Can Toyota Group be acquired?
For the United States and island countries, it is definitely not possible.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Toyota Group itself has a complete industrial system. Once Longguo Capital takes control, they can completely complete the industrial upgrade with the help of Toyota Group's own industrial system.
If the Dragon Kingdom completes its industrial upgrading, they cannot believe how serious the consequences will be.
For this reason, as Chen Xing sent someone to issue a high-profile announcement, Saitoi of the FSA Financial Services Agency and the senior officials of the island nation immediately called the current chairman of Toyota Group, Takahiro Nishikawa, for consultation. Condition.
Faced with the bombardment of phone calls, Nishikawa Takahiro was sweating on his forehead. He nodded and bowed: "President, don't worry, it is impossible for Longxing Group to control Toyota Group through stocks!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible!"
Nishikawa Guidalian assured.
Although he said it was impossible, he was murmuring in his heart.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Chen Xing to make such a joke, but still on global public platforms such as TikTok, Weibo, and Twitter.
If Chen Xing was not joking, would Toyota Group be forcibly acquired?
The impossibility of his answer.
The reason is also very simple. During the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Wall Street giants took advantage of the situation and took away at least 20% of Toyota Group's shares. Nishikawa Takahiro also controlled 40% of the shares. By all calculations, 60% of the shares did not appear in the circulation market. How could it be forcibly acquired?
He couldn’t figure it out and couldn’t understand it.
But he thought of a possibility, that is, there is a ghost!
Because some time ago, Toyota Group transferred 17% of its shares to the Miyazaki family for US$4.7 billion due to a break in its capital chain. His shareholding ratio also increased from 40% to 23%, but it still remains Maintaining its position as the largest shareholder.
Although 23% is a very dangerous ratio, he has not forgotten the Wall Street giants. Wall Street still controls 20% of the shares. In addition, there are "Poison Pill Plan" and stock market warnings. He has never thought about it at all. Someone is engaging in a hostile takeover.
But if the Miyazaki family rebels...
Thinking of this, Takahiro Nishikawa quickly said a few polite words and then hung up the phone.
He immediately called Sumie Miyazaki and wanted to inquire about the stock situation.
The moment the call was connected, before Miyazaki Sumie could speak, Nishikawa Takada couldn't wait to ask: "Ms. Sumie, are the shares we transferred to you last time still in your hands?"
"Toyota Group's shares..."
Miyazaki Sumie had long expected that Takahiro Saikawa would call her, and continued: "I transferred it to Singapore's FOF for US$6.5 billion. International Fund, what happened?”
She asked knowingly.
When Nishikawa Takada heard this, he immediately became anxious.
“How can you transfer it twice!”
"Why not?"
"..."
The words "Why not" made Takada Nishikawa speechless for a moment. If the shares are transferred to others, others will have the right to transfer and sell them. Can't fault it at all.
But this was a pain for Nishikawa Takahiro. He originally wanted to turn over the property and redeem it later, but he didn't expect the Miyazaki family to sell it so quickly, which disrupted his plan.
“Did something happen?”
Miyazaki Sumie continued to pretend to be confused.
"No...it's okay..."
Nishikawa Takada didn't want to say anything and hung up the phone directly.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Saitoi's call came in.
"President Saito..."
After hesitating for half a second, he chose to answer.
"What's going on with Toyota Group? Why does Longxing Group say it has 51% of your shares? I need an explanation!"
Saitoi went straight to the point and was more straightforward than the previous presidents.
"Maybe...maybe it's a rumor..."
Nishikawa Takahiro hesitated.
"Maybe?"
Saitoi's heart stopped suddenly.
Seeing that this was the case, Nishikawa Takahiro simply confessed and told everything about the bank's refusal to lend and the Miyazaki family's capital injection.
"..."
Silence!
The two of them were completely silent!
Saitoi did not expect that Toyota Group would be unable to borrow money.
However, this cannot be blamed on the banks of the island country. The impact of new energy vehicles has been too severe, and Japanese companies that have piled up a large number of fuel vehicles are facing a downturn. If they choose to borrow money at this time, they will definitely not be able to repay it for several years. Bad debts, so no banks are willing to lend money to Japanese car companies.
"So now, even you are not sure whether it has been acquired by Longxing Group?" Saitoi was silent for a long time and asked the key point.
"Yes, because my current shareholding ratio is only 23%. If Chen Xing really holds 51% of the shares, then Toyota Group..."
He did not continue because the consequences were too serious.
“Idiot!!!”
Saitoi cursed angrily and then hung up the phone.
He did not sit idle, but mobilized all his contacts to find out what the Toyota Group's shareholding situation was.
He also wanted to know how Longxing Group evaded their acquisition warning and Toyota Group's "Poison Pill Plan".
Saitoi's use of personal connections to investigate naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of the United States.
The island country did not refute the rumors, but instead used personal connections to investigate. This unusual move made Renato Marotta’s secretary unable to sit still and called Renato Marotta directly to explain the specific situation.
When he was woken up in the middle of the night, Renato Marotta was still angry.
But when the secretary explained the matter clearly, his anger turned into anger, and he said fragrantly: "Damn it, Xiao Baga, you won't really give up the Toyota Group to Longguo, right?"
He panicked Got it!
This time he was really panicked!
Toyota Group is one of the top manufacturing giants and has a complete and supporting industrial system, which is what Dragon Country urgently needs.
Assuming that Toyota Group becomes a Dragon-funded enterprise, then Dragon Country will instantly transform from a low- to mid-range industrial country to a full-category industrial country, and the word "mid-low-end" will no longer exist.
“What do we do now?”
the secretary asked.
"Go and check immediately. Use all your contacts and resources to check. Within thirty minutes, I want to know the shareholding status of Toyota Group."
"I will do it right away."< br>
The moment he hung up the phone, Renato Marotta tapped twice on both sides of his chest, then pointed his index finger to the sky and prayed devoutly: "God, we must not let Toyota Group become Longzi Holdings. This is Our final bottom line.”
……
New York, USA.
No. 666 Satan Building.
At the time of Renato Marotta's investigation, Davich had already obtained the shareholding report.
Currently the largest shareholder of Toyota Group is Saikawa Takahiro, with a shareholding ratio of 23%. The second largest shareholder is the Miyazaki family, with a shareholding of 17%. The third largest shareholder is Baile Group, with a shareholding of 9%. %, the fourth largest shareholder is Linghang Group, which holds 7% and is the fifth largest stock market...
Davich looked all the way down and compared it with the fund that issued the statement.
He was horrified to find that the total proportion of Toyota Group shares held by these international investment funds that had issued global statements was as high as 22%, but the per capita shareholding ratio was only 0.33%. There was no way to prevent it in advance.
“Cunning!”
"Cunning Chen Xing!"
"Cunning Longguo people!!!"
Davich, like most people, thinks that the chance of Toyota Group being forcibly acquired is close to zero .
Because not only the stock market has acquisition reminders, but also the "Poison Pill Plan", they can know immediately if there is any trouble.
But what confuses Davich is, isn’t NOF International Investment Fund wholly controlled by Drew Parada? Why is a statement on the transfer of share rights issued?
Thinking of this, he frowned and asked someone to investigate again.
After about ten minutes, he got the full story.
It turns out that Drew Parada believed in the fate of the country. When the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Chinese currency fell, he took a 200-fold leverage to bet on a rebound.
As a result, Longxing Group went public together with 13 good brothers, which not only revitalized Longguo's stock market, but also caused an epic rise in the exchange rate of Longguo currency.
There is no suspense.
Drew Parada is out of stock!
This was not an ordinary liquidation, he also owed tens of billions of dollars in debt.
In order to repay the debt, he had no choice but to sell all real estate and funds, including NOF International Investment Fund.
"You won't really let Chen Xing succeed, right?"
Davich was visibly panicked. He continued to check the investigation report, and he actually found a familiar name.
Drew Parada's NOF International Investment Fund was not sold to anyone else but Wei Yan's Double Capital Management Agency.
"Double Fund Management Agency."
"Wei Yan."
Davidic frowned.
He did not expect that Wei Yan would be involved in this matter, which made him have to doubt Wei Yan's intention to approach him again.
Now things are like pulling out a carrot and bringing out the mud. No one knows who is a human and who is a ghost in the intricate relationship.
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Or is it a deliberate approach?"
Davich fell into deep thought.
Before this incident, he had treated Wei Yan as a confidant, but with the involvement of the organization behind Wei Yan in this incident, and his Chinese identity, he had every reason to suspect that Wei Yan might be a spy.
But then again, if Wei Yan was a traitor, why did he repeatedly offer suggestions to help the United States and prevent the rise of the Dragon Kingdom?
Davich couldn’t understand.
While his mind was racing, Wei Yan didn't sleep either.
At this time, he was sitting in the office room of his luxurious villa, looking at the computer screen in front of him with a comfortable expression. He was still shaking the red wine glass in his hand, and the deep red wine was spinning on the wall of the glass, completely Don't worry about being investigated.
Although Chen Xing's choice of showdown time was a bit sudden, he had already cleared himself up.
Under his operation, even if Davich made a surprise inspection, it could only be found that the Double Fund Management Agency was acting as a middleman, and there was someone else purchasing the NOF International Fund!
