Chapter 1411 I Want Nikon
However, there is a big problem with the acquisition of Nikon, that is, although Nikon is a listed company in the US stock market, only 40% of Nikon's outstanding shares are in the hands of major institutions.
The four major consortiums have the most equity in it. Although the four major consortiums will not directly interfere with Nikon's operations, the most stocks are indeed in their hands.
Moreover, because Nikon is a well-known company in Fuso, if it acquires Nikon, it will inevitably cause great responses and problems in Fuso, and even interfere at the government level, which will make Daqian feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, if Jia Yapeng wants to acquire Nikon, he must obtain the support of the four major consortiums. In this way, he can obtain all Nikon shares from the four major consortiums and then initiate an acquisition plan.
Secondly, it is able to use the political influence of the four major consortiums to help themselves settle problems in the Fuso government, thus acquiring Nikon.
However, Boss Jia always felt that he did not have enough chips to make the four major consortiums compromise, but the other party actually took the initiative to send chips to the door. Of course, Boss Jia had to make good use of it.
"Nikon..." Mitsui Hesitated. Although Nikon has been getting worse recently, it is still profitable at least and the dividends are pretty good every year.
Moreover, Nikon, Canon and Sony have formed an iron triangle of optical technology throughout Fuso, ensuring that Fuso has sufficient market share in the world's optical field in the future.
Once the triangle loses one corner, Jia Yapeng may have the ability to take away the optical market.
In Mitsui's view, Jia Yapeng definitely has a fancy to the digital camera market and wants to enter this market through Nikon. After all, Boss Jia has already taken away a huge share of the music market by releasing mP3, causing Sony's stock to plummet by about 5%, which hurts all four major consortiums.
Although they would not do anything to Daqian because of 80 billion, if there is no problem, this is also an important reason for the formation of this investigation team.
But now, Daqian is going to enter the digital camera market. According to Daqian's previous brilliant record, he might be able to occupy a huge share of the digital camera and digital photography market. Then the stocks of major companies under them will plummet again.
So what Boss Jia estimated was not wrong. Mitsui and the four major consortiums behind him were actually very reluctant to sell Nikon's stock.
If Daqian proposed an acquisition under normal circumstances, he would probably be rejected by the four major consortiums at that time.
But this time, with an 80 billion contract bar here, Mitsui Hidei was a little bit waxed.
"I am willing to acquire it at a market value of 30%. Now Nikon's total market value is US$4 billion. I am willing to pay US$5.2 billion to buy all Nikon's shares!" Boss Jia added.
Daqian is really rich now. In order to acquire Qualcomm's shares, he used various means to suppress Qualcomm's stock price, and finally bought Qualcomm at an extremely low price.
As a result, when facing Nikon, Boss Jia no longer lowered the price, and he was directly given a premium of 30%, which was so bold!
"5.2 billion US dollars!" Mitsui's eyes lit up. The profits here were quite good, and it seemed that they were not unavailable.
However, this kind of thing is obviously not something Mitsui Hideyo alone can decide, so Mitsui Hideyo said that he would discuss it with others, so Mitsui Hideyo flew back to Fusang that night and communicated with representatives of the four major consortiums.
"No, you can't sell Nikon's shares. This is to cultivate competitors for us!!" The one who opposes the most fiercely is still Sumitomo Group, because Sumitomo Group has a large number of Canon Group shares.
Once Daqian enters Nikon, Canon will inevitably face a more terrifying opponent, which Sumitomo Group will definitely not want to see.
"Haha, you are probably the ones who are the ones who are most ineligible to speak here!" The representative of the Mitsubishi Consortium said with a smile. Indeed, because he purchased a large number of shares of Canon Group, Sumitomo Group has the least shares in Nikon, only about 4%. When he brought the other three consortiums to more than 10%, Sumitomo Group really has no qualifications to speak.
"I don't think it can be sold either!" The representative of the Fuji Consortium sighed and said, "Didn't you notice that Daqian is actually swallowing our Fusang market now?"
"It was Sony before, but later it occupied the broadband market. Now they are targeting the digital camera market again. This is to completely swallow up the international market that originally belonged to our Fusang!"
"By the time being, all these markets will become Daqian. So what if our consortiums have only a large amount of US dollars? Daqian is going to dig our roots!" The Fuji Consortium's words silenced many people present.
That's right, the rise of Daqian Group really made them feel scared, otherwise they would not have promoted the establishment of the investigation team so actively. After all, although the bank's loan agreement states that special funds can be investigated, there are not many banks that really investigate, which violates the unspoken rules of the entire industry.
But the four major consortiums still did it, that is, they hope to take this opportunity to win the Daqian Group so that they will not develop an opponent that will make them feel scared in the future.
But everything was so bad. Not only did Daqian Group not take it, but now it was bitten by its opponents, forcing them to sell Nikon!
"Everyone, you are not wrong, but I would like to ask everyone, if Daqian wants to enter the digital camera market, can we stop it?" Mitsui said with a smile. "Don't forget that Daqian did not buy any companies in the previous personal music market and mobile phone market, Daqian did not buy any companies, but instead directly entered with his own strength, and then defeated other companies in the industry.
"According to my contact with Jia Yapeng, this is a very cunning man who will not give up until his purpose. Once he values something, he will definitely take action and must get it!"
"Even if we can keep Nikon from selling, then how about Daqian going to buy Canon?"
"Or directly acquire Samsung's optical business?"
"It's not necessarily true that he bought Zeiss directly. After all, the company's current market value is only US$2.5 billion, which is cheaper than Nikon, but its technology is higher. It's just that Europe is more reactionary and it's hard to start!"
"Even if these big thousand can't be bought, I think big thousand will enter this market alone. No matter how we stop it, we can't stop it!" Mitsui Hideyoshi said, "So instead of refusing, it's better to sell Nikon to him. Anyway, Nikon has been declining, and has lost all technology to Canon, and it is completely controlled by Canon in the market. As long as we can defend Canon, the digital camera market will not change much!"
"But Nikon has technology in his hands!" The person from Sumitomo Consortium snorted coldly and said, "The biggest threshold for the digital camera market is actually the threshold for technical patents, and Nikon is the key. Without this key, it is difficult for Daqian to come in. If you ask us to sell Nikon, this is to attract the wolf into the house. Have you taken Daqian the benefits?"
"Yes, I did take the advantage of Daqian!" Unexpectedly, Mitsui Xiuyi nodded very simply and said, "Jia Yapeng promised me. As long as I do my best to promote this matter, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the loan contract with our Mitsui Consortium will continue and will not change!"
