Chapter 1088 Ruihua Investment
Of course, this also has something to do with Xu Liang's arrangement.
As the acquisition subject of Seibu, it is not any company under Hanhua, Hongyan or Xu.
Xu Liang first established a ‘Ruihua Investment Company’ under the ‘Xu Family Trust No. 9’.
‘Xu Family Trust No. 9’ holds 5% of the equity of ‘Ruihua Investment Company’ and has undisputed management rights.
Futian Xinmei holds 95% of the shares of Ruihua Investment Company, but only has dividend rights.
At the same time, the 'Xu Family Trust No. 9' signed an agreement with Fukuda Xinmei.
The equity of Ruihua Investment can only be inherited by the blood descendants of both parties and cannot be resold to any third party.
After handing the agreement to three top law firms in China, the United States and Japan for notarization, and signing confidentiality agreements with the three parties.
Ruihui Financial Group and Ruihua Investment held a press conference at the same time to announce the change of ownership of Seibu Group.
This news quickly caused a sensation throughout Japan and triggered discussions in the global business community.
After all, the Seibu Group was so brilliant at its peak.
He is completely a world business giant no less than WorldCom, Enron and Vivendi.
His boss Yoshiaki Tsutsumi once became the richest man in the world.
Although he is now in dire straits, one-third of his assets have been sold.
But the core is still there.
As the saying goes, even if a tiger dies, its power will still remain.
The widespread reports quickly uncovered the Futian family behind Ruihua Investment.
After all, the president of Ruihua Investment clearly says ‘Futian Xinmei’, and her social connections are easy to find out.
As one of the five major political families in Japan, the Fukuda family is powerful. Although they have not made much achievements in the business world, the operation of the Seibu Group is terrible.
Basically, you don’t need any money to acquire it, as long as you assume its debts.
Under the guidance of Xu Liang's public opinion.
Bing News soon reported on Hideo Fukuda’s ‘Fukuda Wealth Management Co., Ltd.’.
As the fastest-growing wealth management company in recent years, Hideo Fukuda is also considered a newcomer in the Japanese financial circle.
Tomita Fortune's profits are also quite substantial.
For a time, the news that 'the Fukuda family hopes to make financial profits, reduce Seibu Group's debt, and restore the company's normal operations' was rampant.
Of course, there are also some media and news reports that the real acquirer of the Seibu Group merger and acquisition is Xu Liang.
But because there is no detailed evidence, coupled with the news sent out by Bing News through various channels.
For a while, no one could tell whether it was true or false.
"I...do I really want to inspect the Seibu Group?"
Fukuda Xinmei's pretty face showed nervousness.
She had never experienced anything like this.
"You don't want to go?"
"Yeah."
"If you don't want to go, just go."
"Is it really possible?"
"Of course. You are my most beloved woman, and I don't want to embarrass you."
Looking at his "sincere and loving" eyes, Fukuda Xinmei gritted her teeth.
"I'll go."
"You have a beautiful heart, don't force yourself..."
Shaking his head firmly, Fukuda Xinmei's expression became determined.
"I also hope to relieve Xu Jun's worries and do my best for the Xu family."
"Have you really decided that way?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, but you don't have to worry too much. Even if you make a mistake, I will still be behind you. So do it boldly, I believe in you."
Fukuda Xinmei nodded vigorously.
After Xu Liang comforted him, Futian Xinmei left.
"Mr. Xu, is it really appropriate to ask your wife to come forward?"
"The boy who cried wolf is a good story.
Now Xu is the wolf.
The more people shout, the less sensitive they will be. Even if the wolf does come in the end, the resistance it will encounter will be minimal. ”
Li Jinling nodded slightly, "I'm afraid those shopping mall veterans in Seibu will despise him when they see his wife's behavior."
"Contempt is for sure. If I saw a delicate, fragile, beautiful woman in her twenties sitting in the CEO position, I wouldn't take her seriously.
But it doesn't matter.
In the next year, we will mainly find out the internal financial, human resources, and business situation of Seibu.
Management reforms and personnel adjustments can only be made after you are well aware of the situation.
If they despise Xinmei and relax their vigilance, it will be easier for us to investigate. ”
Li Jinling nodded.
Xu Liang: "Have all the personnel been arranged?"
Li Jinling handed over a piece of information.
“It’s all arranged.
Hanhua Tokyo Office Financial Director Zhao Hui and Human Resources Director Takahashi Yuji were transferred to Seibu Group to be responsible for finance and human resources.
Liu Zhiyu, deputy financial director of Taihua Group Commercial Management Company, and Qiao Ran, deputy director of human resources, were transferred to Seibu Department Store to be responsible for finance and human resources.
Zhang Liang, deputy director of finance of Taihua Hotel Group, and Sun Shao, deputy director of human resources, were transferred to Seibu Prince Hotel Group to be responsible for finance and human resources..."
Xu Liang can ignore the management of Seibu Group's subsidiaries, but this does not mean that he does nothing.
With the two key departments of finance and human resources in hand, there is no need to worry about them turning the world upside down.
"In addition, the security of all subsidiaries of the Seibu Group will be fully taken over by Red Shield Security."
Xu Liang nodded.
"Where is the meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow?"
"I heard that the golf course in Karuizawa is good, so I'll arrange it there. The time will be in the afternoon. It's autumn, so it can be warmer in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Although he had no intention of going out to inspect the major subsidiaries of the Seibu Group, he wanted to announce his presence to the core executives, presidents and presidents of each of the Seibu subsidiaries. These people all have their own information channels and must know who the real acquirer is.
——
"What is the president thinking?"
Goto Takashi: "I'm thinking about all the news I know about Xu Jun." He shook his head, "I still can't believe that the famous 'Xu Liang' will become the president of Seibu."
< br>
Shirayama Susumu: "I can't believe it now. Although Seibu's assets are huge, except for Seibu Department Store, they have little relevance to Xu's major companies.
Seibu Department Store, led by that idiot Shigeaki Wada, has been in decline again.
Coupled with the huge debt, if I were Xu Liang, I would never acquire such Seibu. ”
"Yes. But after all, we are not Xu Liang, and we cannot guess each other's thoughts."
Bai Shanjin suddenly smiled and said: "Maybe he is interested in Prince Hotel. After all, Taihua has hotel business."
"Maybe. It has become a fait accompli, so there is no need to think too much. ...The key is what will the other party do after taking over the Seibu Group?" Goto Takashi said.
Bai Shanjin fell silent.
After a while.
“I heard that Xu Liang’s family office ‘Hongyan’ is also engaged in leveraged buyouts in addition to investment business.
Delong, one of the largest industrial groups in China, the NBA Warriors, Marvel, one of the two major comic book giants, Manchester United in the Premier League, and the American oil giant Unocal are all under his control.
Now these companies are basically developing well and can even be called excellent.
It is certain that Xu Liang is not only a financial genius, but also a management elite with amazing strategic vision.
He leads Seibu and is at least 70% sure to lead the Seibu Group out of the current quagmire. ”
"Is it only 70%?" Goto Takashi smiled.
"Seventy percent is already very high. If it were anyone else, even Masayoshi Son, he wouldn't be able to reach even half."
"I didn't expect you to think so highly of him."
"It's not that I think highly of him, but that his achievements are too dazzling. In just seven years, he has transformed from a lowly untouchable to the second richest man in the Forbes Global Rich List.
Even if he hadn't established a legacy trust early to carve out some companies, it would have been a sure thing to beat Bill Gates to the top a year in advance.
Xu Jun's talent no longer needs others to comment.
Respect and worship are what ordinary people should do. ”
Bai Shanjin used honorifics unconsciously.
Goto Takashi sighed: "After all, we are descendants of the Han and Tang Dynasties who have been influenced by thousands of years of history and culture. There are amazing geniuses in any era."
Bai Shanjin nodded in agreement.
After a long time, wait for your thoughts to calm down.
"I wonder how Mr. Xu will reform our Seibu Railway?"
Goto Takashi said with a smile: "The Seibu Railway we are responsible for managing has the highest net profit margin and number of passengers per kilometer among the 16 major private railways in Japan.
Moreover, there is not much room for development of subways and railways, and there is basically no room for reform. ”
Dashou private railway means large private railway company in Japan.
Shirayama Susumu: "It would be great if Xu Jun could support us in launching mergers and acquisitions. There are still fifteen large private railway companies. No matter which one we acquire, it will bring Seibu Railway's revenue to a higher level."
"Just looking at the current huge debt of Seibu Group, we know that it is basically impossible."
Shirayama Susumu: "I heard that Xu Jun received tens of billions of dollars in return after defeating Soros and Quantum Fund. It may not be impossible if he raises funds from Seibu."
Goto Takashi nodded thoughtfully.
While the two of them were chatting, the scenery outside the car window continued to pass by, gradually changing from majestic high-rise buildings to lush countryside with green trees and red flowers and willows.
When the horizon becomes undulating and the flowers, plants and trees become more and more lush.
Nestled in the beautiful scenery, a simple-looking connected villa area appears in front of you.
Royal Prince Karuizawa Resort Hotel.
It is a five-star resort hotel built on the basis of the aristocratic holiday villas in the Meiji era. It has nearly 70 independent villas and more than 600 rooms.
The Karuizawa Resort with attached hotel has an astonishing area of 3 million square meters.
Equivalent to 4.2 times the size of the Forbidden City.
In addition to hotels, there are also golf courses, tennis courts, aquariums and other complex business formats.
Of course, the most outstanding thing is the excellent mountain scenery here.
As the president and president of Seibu Railway, this is not the first time for Takashi Goto and Susumu Hakusan to come here.
I walked into the hotel lobby with ease and soon saw an acquaintance here.
"Goto-kun, Hakusan-kun."
He looked at the middle-aged man, who was short and thin, with three-quarter length hair, walking quickly towards here.
Goto Takashi and Hakusan frowned without trace.
Everyone knows Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's motto of "I would rather use slaves than talented people."
As long as you are loyal enough, it doesn't matter if you are not strong enough.
Therefore, there are many mediocre people within the Seibu Group who want to flatter others.
But if a company can grow and develop, there will always be a lot of talent.
Goto Takashi and Shirayama Susumu consider themselves to be talents, so they hate people within the group who reach high positions by flattering others.
Just like ancient civil servants hated eunuchs, Qingliu hated treacherous ministers for the same reason.
Bai Shanjin snorted coldly and turned his head.
Don't pay any attention to it.
As the president of Seibu Railway, Takashi Goto is not as aloof as his old partner.
"Wada-kun came so early?"
Noriaki Wada didn't seem to notice Bai Shanjin's cold eyes, and still smiled.
"I've only been here a few minutes. Goto-kun and Hakusan-kun, since we meet each other, let's go in together?"
"Wada-kun and Uemura-kun have always been inseparable, why aren't they together this time?"
"Don't you two know?"
"Know what?" Goto Takashi asked.
"Kenichi Uemura has been directly dismissed from office."
Goto Takashi and Shirayama Susumu were shocked, and they both looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
As the president of SOGO Seibu Department Store, Kenichi Uemura is undoubtedly the top executive within the entire Seibu Group.
Single-handedly led the acquisition of Sogo by Seibu Department Store.
Although the real leader behind this incident is Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the operator is indeed Kenichi Uemura.
