American TV series

Sean's attitude was tough as expected, and the most important thing was that he still held the Sword of Damoricus in his hand, leaving Fumio Sato no choice at all.

Regarding the threat of splitting, Fumio Sato knew that Sean could do it.

Once Sean is willing to charge forward, the hungry wolves behind him will definitely come up and cut Toshiba into pieces.

The group of companies on the other side overlap with almost all of Toshiba's businesses.

White goods business, storage business, heavy machinery manufacturing, electrical machinery, chemistry, electronic equipment, EMI, medical care, image sensors, notebooks, communications...

Surrounded by wolves!

Well, that's not entirely true. Sean doesn't have any business in his name that overlaps with Toshiba. This is the only good news.

Thinking of this, Fumio Sato didn't know whether he should be lucky or not.

Fumio Sato surrendered, and the matter came to an end.

As for the interests of allies, that is not what Sean needs to consider.

It was agreed at the beginning that Sean would be responsible for the charge. After Toshiba was defeated, it was up to the allies to see how much benefit they could get.

It’s no wonder that when faced with the accusations, those people all chose to do so at the beginning... They have always adhered to professional ethics, adhere to the moral bottom line, and actively assumed social responsibilities. The relevant remarks are seriously untrue and are rumors maliciously fabricated and spread by people with ulterior motives...

That's what happened. There is only one compromise and countless times. Toshiba's legs were opened by Sean, and other people who rushed forward couldn't stop him.

Of course, if these people want to leave something behind on Toshiba, it has nothing to do with Sean.

…

After the exercise, Sean chartered a yacht and everyone had a party on the sea.

The matter has come to an end here.

The next day, the Sky Palace arrived in Tokyo, and Shen Bi stepped out of the plane with a swagger, just like his own plane.

"You really got a bargain." As soon as he entered the door, Shen Bi said with a smile: "Okay, when will the money be available!"

As soon as he saw Shen Bi's old face, Xiao En's face turned pale.

What the hell, you even chased me to Japan to ask for money!

Before you even see a hair of money, debtors are coming!

I can't live this day!

Sean turned his head away, not wanting to look at this old guy.

Seeing Sean's appearance, old man Shen Bi's laughter suddenly became abnormal.

Comfortable!

…

On the other side, Fumio Sato talked about the negotiations. Faced with Sean's threat, the board of directors all stopped. Even the Mitsui Foundation behind them didn't say anything. They just asked him privately whether, as the president, he had any

What to do.

Sato Fumio explained his plan, and Mitsui was very satisfied and expressed its full support.

Two days later, Fumio Sato visited the manor outside Tokyo.

As soon as he entered the door, he bowed ninety degrees. He was so old that Sean was afraid that he would lose his waist.

They were here to give money, so Sean's attitude was naturally different. He laughed and walked forward and gave Fumio Sato a hug, "Come on, come in and sit down, you're welcome."

Serving tea and chatting, Sato Fumio knew that Sean didn't like procrastination, so he quickly got to the point, "Mr. Sean knows that assets are assets, but Toshiba can't produce so much cash flow at the same time."

"Even if we are willing to find a bank for a mortgage loan, it will be difficult. After all, there are still many people eyeing Toshiba. According to our calculation, the loss this time will not be less than 3 billion US dollars."

Sean nodded, 3 billion was not high, he wanted 25, he admitted this.

"So, how much cash can you draw out now?" Sean asked with a smile. He certainly can't force Toshiba to death, that's for sure.

"1.2 billion is the most." Sato Fumio lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sean, this is already the limit. It has drained the liquidity of all Toshiba subsidiaries and has seriously affected the company's normal operations."

Sean frowned and tilted his head to look at Shen Bi. He couldn't tell whether this was true or not.

Shen Bi nodded. No matter how big a company is, it would be hard to come up with so much cash in a short period of time. If others don't tell you, Sean can do so much, but he can't come up with so much money.

"What about the remaining 1.3 billion?" Sean asked again.

"It will take at least eight years!" Fumio Sato bent down again and said: "This time the company has been seriously injured, and its operations have been greatly affected. The U.S. market has suffered heavy losses, and its market share has dropped significantly. Coupled with the lack of liquidity, we originally wanted to launch All business has stopped, and the Eastern market has also suffered boycotts. It is estimated that the profit loss in the next five years will be as high as 1.8 billion."

"The collapse of the stock market is a foregone conclusion. It is impossible to raise any funds from the stock market. Affected by the decline in stock prices, many loans need to be settled in advance, which will further exacerbate the deterioration of the company's financial situation."

"In the next few years, Toshiba's main strategy is to stabilize its financial situation and save the existing market. However, it is not certain whether it can recover within five years."

"As for the expansion plans, new market development issues, and new technology research issues that were abandoned because of this..." Sato Fumio shook his head, with a painful look on his face, pursed his lips, and burst into tears.

Sean was dumbfounded. He knew that this guy's performance was serious, but... what he said couldn't be false!

Shen Bi opened his mouth and laughed silently, gloating at the misfortune.

Even a Fortune 500 company cannot bear to have its cash withdrawn like this.

Regardless of the current international mergers and acquisitions of hundreds of millions or billions, the actual cash required is not much.

Take Sony's current negotiations with Columbia Pictures as an example. Although the total acquisition value is US$5 billion, in fact Sony only acquired a controlling stake, of which US$1.6 billion is debt and does not need to be paid. In addition, Colombia was used as a mortgage in the bank, and the actual amount paid was estimated to be only over one billion.

But this is the result of slowly raising funds over a year, and it is a positive operation, not some kind of compensation. The funds brought in by the surge in stock prices alone are enough to fill this hole and still have a balance.

This is called capital operation, and it is completely different from Toshiba's current situation. These days, only fools spend their own money on acquisitions and expansion!

Sean: You curse again!!

Encountering this situation, Sean was a little confused for a while.

When I first planned it, it was just a whim because I thought about China's history of being cheated. I didn't think carefully about it, and I didn't think about things like chain reactions.

From decision to implementation, Sean didn't mention it to anyone, and it took three days in total.

This is called making a decision with a slap on the forehead, making a promise with a slap on the chest, and regretting it with a slap on the thigh... But now Sean can't just slap his butt and leave!

No wonder General Electric's Jack Welch didn't join forces with me to ask for money from Toshiba. I guess those guys knew how little money they would get, so they were prepared to get benefits from other sources!

Damn, I hate these old silver coins that can change hundreds of ideas at a time!

What should we do now?

"Or split it up!" Sean waved his hands irritably, "I don't believe I won't get any money after the split!"

"Splitting is not impossible, but the current situation is that Toshiba has encountered a catastrophe and may be irreversible at any time. In this case, the final selling price of an asset worth 100 yuan may only be 10 yuan. No, this is almost inevitable.

Yes, the capital market has no emotions, those wolves will just pounce on them and bite them madly, completely dismember Toshiba, and then only take away the most valuable parts, and then leave behind a lot of worthless mess." Sato Fumio said with a look on his face.

He covered his face in pain.

Sean:!!!

You are blackmailing me, right?

This won’t work, that won’t work either… Don’t tell me there’s only 1.2 billion!

He promised more than 300 million from the Chinese side, as well as 200 million from that old bastard Murdoch. In addition, he has found so many people during this period, the cost of relationships, the cost of time...

You won’t make much money in the end!

No, Murdoch's old silver coin wouldn't have guessed from the beginning how much money he would actually get, right?

Murdoch: No way? No way! No one would think of it, right?

However, Sean really didn't think that much. He just wanted to grab some money. As for promising Murdoch 200 million, that was because he could earn 3 billion back, and 20% was too much.

Murdoch: To be honest, I didn’t expect Sean to be so generous, 200 million. This is really fucking using money instead of money, Piu Liang!

Sean looked at Fumio Sato who was covering his face and performing. Sean became more and more irritated and his face turned gloomy. I just wanted to drive a battleship to grab some money. What was wrong with me!

ah!

What's wrong with me!

He stood up suddenly, raised his foot, and kicked Sato Fumio to the ground with one movement.

"Damn it, are you here to make trouble for me? Oh, I don't care what the hell reason you have. You can't lose a penny of money. If you lose a penny, I will kill all three of your tribes!"

Sean is no longer too lazy to scheming with these old silver coins.

Turn over the table!

Fumio Sato was lying on the ground, completely stunned. No, the performance was good, why didn't you act according to the script?

You ask me, you ask me what I can do!

If you don’t ask me, how can I solve your problem?

Shen Bi was laughing so hard next to him!

They are all foxes of thousands of years. How could he not see the problem? Otherwise, why would he come all the way from the United States just to chase Sean for money?

Well, Shen Bi admitted that there was an element of him liking to see Xiao En being deflated.

"Okay, okay, Sean, sit down." Shen Bi held his stomach. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up. He could only wave and said: "Mr. Sato, you have to consider cultural issues and propriety. Obviously

, your negotiation method is not suitable for our young man."

Fumio Sato got up with a look of embarrassment, without saying anything, and bowed to Sean with a 90-degree bow, "Sir Sean, please forgive me, it's my fault!"

He turned his head and bowed to Shen Bi again at 90 degrees, "Mr. Shen Bi, we are in Asia, and your name is well known among me. I admire you very much, but I have never been able to visit you due to work reasons. I deeply regret it."

"I want your Excellency to give you some advice and help today, please!" As he said that, he knelt down and banged his head on the ground.

Sean sat on the sofa again, his malicious eyes wandering back and forth on the faces of the two old silver coins!

It is certain that Sato Fumio had already planned it. He was acting just now. Although he knew it, he didn't understand what it meant. And Shen Bi, an old bastard, was just reading the joke.

Shen Bi smiled and said, "Fumio Sato is too modest. You and I have been friends for a long time!"

"I'm warning you two not to flatter each other here!" Sean said sadly.

Sato Fumio immediately shut up, but Shen Bi said as if he hadn't heard: "There is an old saying in China that a scholar encounters a soldier. There is no reason to explain. You have already performed very well. Use words to guide you and slowly let the target make the decision. Correct judgment will preserve the target's face to a great extent, as if the correct choice was made by himself, and can ease the relationship very well."

"But, unfortunately, Mr. Sean is deeply influenced by military thinking. In addition to being talented in crime and full of creativity and imagination, in other aspects, he prefers to be straightforward!"

"Ha Yi, thank you for your advice!" Sato Fumio lowered his head and said.

Sean:???

Does this guy have good intentions?

So what am I?

He turned his head and glared at Shen Bi fiercely.

"Now, you can say it!" Sean turned to look at Sato Fumio and said coldly.

"Sir Sean, I think that instead of taking 2.5 billion in cash from Toshiba at once, you should change your mind and become a shareholder of Toshiba!" Sato Fumio said bluntly.

"What, becoming a shareholder through stock trading?" Sean was startled.

"There is an essential difference. If you become a shareholder by speculating in stocks, it is because the company itself has problems and you are trapped. In fact, Toshiba is now very powerful. When it is conquering cities and territories around the world, the most valuable thing about Toshiba is not Funds, but Toshiba itself!" Fumio Sato said solemnly: "If it weren't for Toshiba being so successful, it wouldn't have attracted so much hatred from people."

"An unsuccessful company is not qualified to have enemies!"

Sean nodded in agreement, as if he was too successful, so there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!

"But I don't have the idea of ​​long-term investment in Toshiba. What I need is cash, and I have my own investment plan." Sean thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Pfft!" Shen Bi couldn't hold back his laughter.

Sean turned his head and glared fiercely.

"Good advice is hard to hear, but I have to say that your Canadian Husky, your Los Angeles landmark project, and Sean's Arena are completely worthless compared to Toshiba." Shen Bi doesn't care what Sean's attitude is, he only cares about himself. Zidi commented: "For a company like Husky, if you give it another hundred years, it will not be able to catch up with Toshiba today. There is no comparison at all."

Sean opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

To put it bluntly, he knows nothing. He was a counterfeit wine seller in his last life, and all his knowledge comes from the Internet.

The investment route I have decided to take now is to imitate these two people.

One is Cucumber Li, who was widely publicized in China at that time, and the other is female representative Wendi Deng.

In addition to real estate, Cucumber Plum’s classic operations include Husky Energy, the most successful investment, and Hutchison Whampoa.

Among them, the core business of Hutchison Whampoa in the early days was terminals and shipping. This business was profitable and would get better and better as the world economy develops.

Excellent value preservation ability!

In addition, Sean's key investment project is media, film and television. This path is imitated by Murdoch, which is why he was so hostile to Murdoch in the beginning.

After all, when a plagiarist collides with the author of the original work, he or she will either choose to be inferior or choose... the person who solves the manufacturing problem!!

As for other sports, we know how popular the four major sports leagues will be in later generations.

The only thing that is truly original to Sean is the unexpected product of Umbrella Company!

At the beginning, I really wanted to protect the counterfeit wine sellers.

As a result, Sean stopped selling fake wine a long time ago, and after landing, Sean banned the sale of any fake wine in New Jersey and other places.

Anyone who dares to mention counterfeit wine in front of Sean will have Sean fall out on the spot!

Dropped!!

On the contrary, the unexpected product used for escort has flourished.

Closer to home, Sean has not thought about investing in those big groups. He has already started to do so. For example, he has been acquiring stocks in Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Apple, Intel and other companies.

But when it comes to Toshiba, he really never had this thought. The main reason is that Sean remembers that Toshiba in his previous life plummeted in the later period. Of course, he didn't know the specific time or reason.

"But I'm not interested in investing in Toshiba as a whole. Many of your industries are just rubbish in my opinion. I don't understand it, and I don't want to waste time understanding it!" Sean frowned and looked at Sato Fumio.

"Sir Sean, Toshiba is a large group company. You are free to pick the stocks of any subsidiary you like. The Toshiba board of directors absolutely welcomes you. If you are willing to participate in management, you can send someone to participate. If you are not willing, then

You can also send financial personnel alone." Sato Fumio said sincerely, "Believe me, Toshiba Group will never dare to make false accounts on you!"

"Well, I firmly believe this!" Sean laughed and patted his chest, "No living person dares to blackmail my money!"

The corner of Sato Fumio's mouth twitched slightly, so... envious!

Sean couldn't make up his mind and turned to look at Shen Bi.

"Okay, otherwise why do you think I'm here to make fun of you? Humph, I don't have as bad a character as you!" Shen Bi raised his neck.

"Okay, okay!" Sean didn't bother to argue with this veteran, he looked at Fumio Sato and said, "Bring it here, I'll take a look!"

Fumio Sato immediately took out the briefcase next to him, took out a thick stack of information, bent at a 90-degree angle and handed it over.

Sean took the weight and immediately lost interest. It was so thick and it wasn't a novel. He bet that in five minutes, ten minutes at most, he would be able to fall asleep while reading it. If he read it all, next year would be considered fast.

Shaking his head, he threw the information on the ground and said, "Tell me what subsidiaries there are and what they do."

Sato Fumio picked up the information, opened the table of contents and put it in front of Sean, "There is a table of contents at the beginning of the material. Let me explain it to you."

"No need!" Sean stretched out a finger and scrolled through the catalog. Heavy industry, machinery, shipbuilding, motor servo... none of them were needed.

Turning the page and continuing to scroll, Sean paused when he saw the memory division, "I want this!"

After finishing recording, Fumio Sato looked confused.

No, what is the basis for this?

Is there any logic?

Investment decisions of hundreds of millions and billions of dollars can be done with just one click?

Where is the report?

What about the investigation?

Is this how Sean Rockefeller, who created tens of billions of wealth in just a few years, did business?

Fumio Sato looked confused and looked at Shen Bi next to him, hoping to get an answer.

Shen Bi shrugged, "The world is so unfair. Hard work and painstaking efforts are completely worthless. For some people, investment is just a matter of swiping and swiping. Investigative reports are not as good as tossing a coin. Wealth can be lost." It’s like I’ve grown legs and I’m scrambling to run towards them, unable to hold them back!”

"This is called Destiny's Child, you can't compare to it, old man!" Sean glanced sideways and tapped his finger on the information again, "This."

Fumio Sato quickly looked down, Toshiba Notebook Division.

"Mr. Sean, our home appliances division is developing very well now, especially TVs. We have a lot of technology reserves and can always maintain the market leadership, especially the plasma technology we are researching and developing. Once successful, it will rewrite the entire industry. TV field!" Fumio Sato recommended with pride.

"The research is very good, don't do it again in the future!" Sean looked at Fumio Sato up and down. It was you who dug the big pit in plasma!

Turning to look at Shen Bi, Sean solemnly warned: "Remember, Toshiba home appliances must not be touched. If the subsidiary I am optimistic about has anything to do with home appliances, especially TVs, it must be cut off!"

"Okay." Shen Bi nodded without any intention of refuting.

Fumio Sato:???

No, what do you mean?

You look down on our Tuxiba TV!?

"Well, finally there is this." Sean said this and clicked on the information again.

Fumio Sato looked down and saw chip manufacturing.

"We also have medical and image sensing..."

"Okay, I've decided!" Sean said goodbye, not giving Fumio Sato a chance to speak. "Storage, notebooks, and chip manufacturing are the three."

"Also, how much cash do you think I should get?" Sean looked at Shen Bi.

"800 million is enough. If you are willing to throw away the burden of Husky Energy, the financial pressure will be much less in the future." Shen Bi pondered for a moment and said a number.

Note that it means much less pressure, not no pressure!

"Is Husky so bad?" Sean's brows were filled with veins.

"No, of course not!" Shen Bi shook his head and said, "I helped Boss Li choose the Husky. It has great investment value and is suitable for long-term holding. With the next round of economic development, especially in this big country in the east, it will be completely Once it starts to move, the crude oil market will inevitably experience a skyrocketing surge."

The two of them chatted as if no one was around, not taking Fumio Sato seriously at all.

"Then you keep talking about me!" Sean frowned.

"Nonsense, that is a good investment for Boss Li. He is Chinese. He does not have the backing of one of the world's top oil families, let alone the world's largest missile destroyer fleet and tens of thousands of American soldiers!" Shen Bi rolled his eyes and said: " The cost of developing oil sands in that damn cold place in Canada is so high, it’s crazy!”

"If you want to engage in oil, whether it's South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, or Africa, you can't grab an oil field anywhere. If you're sick, keep an eye on Husky!"

"That's not a beauty!!" Shen Bi also got angry and shouted loudly. He didn't understand why Xiao En was staring at that rotten company.

When Sato Fumio heard these words, his whole body felt bad instantly. He couldn't grab anything anywhere... It was so appropriate that it made him cry!

Sean's eyes were dull, his face was full of insensitivity, and his whole body was not feeling well. Yes, why did he stare at Husky?

"Pah!" Sean slapped his thigh hard, "I'll leave for Hong Kong Island tomorrow and sell Husky to Boss Li!"

Fumio Sato:!!!

Shen Bi:???

Can you be a human being, kidnap someone's son, buy the Husky after extorting the money, and now you don't want it anymore and want to sell it back?
