The two joked for a while, and then returned to the topic.

"Since the beginning of this year, under the general environment of the financial crisis, the market value of our Japanese companies' stocks has continued to decline. Even Fast Retailing has been the same. Although its performance is good, it has still declined significantly, and its market value is only about 12.8 billion US dollars.

." Sun Zhenyi said eloquently, "But our SoftBank Group is different. You are lucky, because we are a fairy company concept stock company, and the performance of contract machines is very outstanding, so the market value has increased during this period.

many."

Xiao Qi smiled and nodded slightly.

SoftBank Group is of course a pearl in today's bleak market. In cooperation with Fairy Company's contract phone, it has shipped more than 4 million Dreamstars and Dreamsnow mobile phones in one month. Along with this, the people who are bound to SoftBank Group's mobile business have already

It can completely support a company's mobile business.

With good performance and a bright future that can be expected, SoftBank Group has attracted the attention of a large number of small and medium-sized investors. It is not surprising that the stock market value has increased.

However, the stock price drop of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. is different. Such a company with good performance and not many dry cleaning projects related to the financial crisis has also plummeted. The reason is of course Sun Zhenyi's suppression of them.

Don't think that Sun Zhenyi looks honest and honest, just because he is a Confucian businessman. In fact, this guy is very cruel and ruthless. Even the Chinese business tsar, Ma Yun, is very afraid of him, and there is no way to get rid of the influence of SoftBank Group.

The same goes for Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. It's just that Sun Zhenyi took a fancy to it and wanted to use it to repay his debts, so he was treated like this. If Yanai Tadashi knew about it, he would definitely cry with depression.

If Sun Zhenyi did this in China, Xiao Qi would definitely not agree to cooperate with him.

But now we are in Japan...

Then it doesn't matter.

The Japanese have never shown any mercy when it comes to cheating Chinese companies. They are kind on the outside but vicious on the inside. This is the best explanation for their doing business in China.

Therefore, Xiao Qi had no pressure to harm Japanese businessmen just like he harmed European and American businessmen.

"As of now, our second batch of US$7 billion has reached our goal before it has been used up. We have spent a total of US$8 billion to purchase 52.6% of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd.. Far higher than Yanai Masaru's 26.7%

%, reaching the point of absolute control." Sun Zhenyi said, "As long as you say something, Qi Shao, we will become the masters of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. tomorrow!"

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Qi asked.

"What I mean is that we just hold the shares of Fast Retailing. There is no need to worry about it for the time being. Yanai Tadashi is still very capable. We can just watch him work hard and reap the dividends." Sun Zhenyi said without hesitation.

His vision is still very accurate.

For example, Ma Yun's Alibaba Group in his previous life. Although Sun Zhenyi listened to Ma Yun's reports every year, he never directly intervened in Alibaba's affairs. This gave Ma Yun the opportunity to show his talents, and ultimately enabled Alibaba Group to own

A valuation of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars. A great achievement in c2c.

The same is true for Yanai Tadashi now. Sun Zhenyi knows a lot about him. Of course, he is willing to let him develop.

"Masa Yanai is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Xiao Qi asked noncommittally, "Did he not sell any of the shares in his hand?"

"Yes, not at all." Sun Zhenyi nodded and said, "Not only him, but also some shareholders on the board of directors did not sell. The major corporate institutions were almost sold out, and there were also a lot of outside circulating stocks pouring into the selling market.

.Actually, I can acquire more than 10% of the shares, but acquiring too much may cause a strong backlash from Tadashi Yanai, so I haven’t decided yet.”

Now the two quietly acquired 52.6% of Fast Retailing's shares. Although they have not yet gathered thousands of stock accounts together, they have essentially achieved absolute control.

But this matter is divided equally between Xiao Qi and Sun Zhenyi. Because of the 12 billion U.S. dollars raised, 6 billion was lent by Sun Zhenyi to Xiao Qi.

Borrowed money belongs to borrowed money, and shares belong to shares. These cannot be confused.

Therefore, the two of them each hold 26.3% of Fast Retailing shares, and Tadashi Yanai holds 26.7%, which is just a little more than them, making him the largest shareholder.

Yanai Tadashi was so smart that he naturally knew that someone was secretly absorbing shares of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., but he never imagined that Xiao Qi and Sun Zhenyi had such a big appetite.

It wouldn't matter if everyone fell out in the future. The status of the two controlling shareholders does not allow Yanai to act arrogantly.

But Xiao Qi and Sun Zhenyi had no intention of taking over Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., so they had to rely on Yanai Masaru to help them make money. Therefore, this share ratio was just right.

"Well, this ratio is enough." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "But your idea is that we continue to be shareholders secretly and don't have a showdown with Yanai Masaru?"

"Haha, that's not the case. Concentrating the shares earlier would be a way of showing off." Sun Zhenyi considered and said, "I'm thinking about how to tell him that this old man is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"How you say it is your business." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "But remember what I said before, you transfer the 26.3% of Fast Retailing shares that belong to me to the fund under Youxiang's name."

"good!"

Sun Zhenyi also smiled and said, "Master Qi, you have thought so carefully. Now you are thinking about future generations. It seems that I should also prepare in advance."

Sun Zhenyi was talking about inheritance tax in Japan.

Inheritance tax in Japan is very, very expensive, and the saying that you can only be rich for three generations is not an exaggeration at all when applied to Japan.

Basically, a family's assets of 10 billion yen will only be left with about 3 billion by the third generation, which is jaw-dropping.

Forget it, ordinary families don't have much wealth to begin with, but for the rich, this is absolutely intolerable.

Therefore, many super-rich people have come up with other ways to avoid this inheritance tax.

Just in this regard, the United States has a good example to learn from.

The inheritance tax collection in the United States is no less than that in Japan, but the wealthy families there have been passed down for five or six generations and are still living well. The reason is that they allocate the family property not to the name of the individual, but to the entire family.

Funds and trust investment funds exist.

This kind of fund belongs to the entire large family and cannot be withdrawn in cash for personal use. Various methods are used to avoid the scope of inheritance tax, thereby successfully evading the scope of inheritance tax.

Some Japanese families with centuries of heritage can easily carry forward this family fund, thus avoiding expensive taxes and shifting the burden to the middle class.

Xiao Qi asked Youxiang to establish the "Youxiang Fund", naturally for this reason.

Otherwise, no matter how much property Xiao Qi leaves to the descendants of Youxiang's family, it will not be enough for the seventh and eighth generations of descendants to pay inheritance tax.

Who is willing to let his descendants endure hardship?

Therefore, it is easier to deal with many things if they are settled now.

After a pause, Sun Zhenyi talked about another cooperation between the two, "It is not easy to suppress NTT's stock. After so long efforts, I can only acquire 8% of NTT for you Qishao."

shares, worth 8 billion U.S. dollars. Although the value of these shares will not increase much in the future, the annual fixed dividends are very good. If they are all added to Youxiang Fund, the title and influence of an NTT board member will also be very good.

identity."

"Where did you get so much money?" Xiao Qi was surprised.

Even if the US$12 billion is used to purchase Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., there is still US$4 billion left, but there is still a shortfall of US$4 billion.

Previously, Sun Zhenyi promised a share of 5 billion U.S. dollars, but now he has exceeded the quota and completed an acquisition of 8 billion U.S. dollars. He is indeed very capable.

Sun Zhenyi smiled and said, "Of course I will use my SoftBank Group shares for the loan. Mr. Qi, it would be best if you use Yahoo Japan to pay the loan. You can also give me cash."

"Okay." Xiao Qi nodded slightly, "The 20% shares of Yahoo Japan will be delivered together this time. In addition to the extra interest you pay, I will allocate another 200 million US dollars in cash to you."

"Thank you, Qi Shao." Sun Zhenyi was very satisfied with this kind of cooperation.

Originally, Sun Zhenyi wanted to acquire 30% of Yahoo Japan's shares, but Xiao Qi left 15% of the 35% for Youxiang.

In addition, Xiao Qi's valuation of Yahoo Japan is as high as 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the current market value of Yahoo Japan is only 8 billion U.S. dollars. Therefore, Sun Zhenyi considered that the price was too expensive, so he only acquired 20% of Yahoo Japan's shares.

This works out to US$4 billion, which can be offset by his investment in purchasing NTT shares.

As for the extra 200 million US dollars given by Xiao Qi, whether it was interest or remuneration, Sun Zhenyi was happy to accept it. 200 million US dollars was a very good income.

Speaking of which, Xiao Qi did not suffer any loss, but gained a lot.

Needless to say, Yahoo Japan will eventually grow to a value of more than 30 billion US dollars. It goes without saying that the 8% stake in NTT can also be regarded as a prominent status, which is enough to give Yuka more social status. It goes without saying.

The key lies in the shares of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. In the future, Yanai Masako has repeatedly ascended to the throne of the richest man in Japan with his 26.7% shareholding. Yuka's shareholding is only slightly lower than him. In addition, there are other companies such as Yahoo Japan

Assets, become the real richest man in Japan, there is no pressure at all.

Although Sun Zhenyi has received a lot of benefits, his debts amount to more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. He cannot hold on to his shares in Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., and he also has to sell a lot of his shares in SoftBank Group.
