My 1999

“The giants are having a carnival, with Hualun, Standard Chartered, China Petroleum, and Hanhua taking their share of the food and beverage industry.”

“The big deal of the century, Huarun retail assets were exchanged for Tianshan Group.”

"Gree Electric Appliances changes to new owner, Dong Zhuming praises Golden Caesar."

"The Elephant Dances, Shuanghui, XCMG, Guangming, Guangdong Development Bank, Gree, who is next?"

"Be wary of the expansion of monopoly capital and maintain the healthy and orderly development of the domestic economy."

“Xu’s capital empire has added a new member.”…

Xu Liang flipped through the domestic online news.

As the matter of Guangdong Development Bank's financing was settled, and the three-party transactions between China Resources, Kanghua, and Taihua were exposed, it was no surprise that it caused a sensation in the domestic business community.

There is a lot of news from all sides.

The Xu family, which continues to engage in mergers and acquisitions and reorganizations, has also been in the press frequently.

Fortunately, he had already told Xie Wen that some malicious and inflammatory news would basically not appear online.

As for offline, who still reads newspapers these days?

"Mr. Xu, we will arrive at Tokyo Haneda Airport in one hour," Li Jinling said.

Xu Liang nodded.

After staying in Singapore for more than half a month, he flew to Tokyo.

He originally wanted to stay for a while, but Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong called him every day to urge him to hurry up, so he couldn't delay any longer.

After the plane lands.

Wearing a burgundy corset dress, her hair tied high, and black Gucci high-heeled shoes, Fukuda Shinmei quickly came forward with the little one in her arms.

Following her was Masami Nagasawa, who was wearing a blue dress and long flowing hair.

"Sensen, call daddy quickly."

Fukuda Xinmei waved her son's little hand.

Xu Wensen, who is almost nine months old, can already say some simple words, such as mom and dad.

Xu Liang walked over quickly.

He came once last year after Fukuda Shinmei gave birth to the little guy, but left after not staying long.

This is the second time here.

She wanted to reach out and hug her son, but the little guy turned his head and hugged his mother's neck, refusing to let him hug her.

"Sensen, this is dad. You forgot that dad took you to the amusement park last time." Fukuda Xinmei said quickly.

"There's no need to force him. I'll just get to know him in a few days." Xu Liang said with a smile.

It is normal for a child to recognize his child, and he is not angry.

"When Sensen was at home, he was still shouting to find his father, and now he's like this again."

Futian Xinmei said helplessly.

The world of children is always full of uncertainties.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Liang went up and hugged the two women, then turned his eyes to Masami Nagasawa, nodded to her, and then got into the car with the two women.

On the way, Xu Liang took out the "Kung Fu Panda" Po doll that he bought when he came here.

With the box office reaching US$631 million, Kung Fu Panda has become a popular classic IP in the world. Various peripheral products developed around it have brought nearly 300 million Chinese dollars in revenue to the K. Wah Group.

Among them, the best-selling ones are Abao's various dolls, with millions of them sold in half a year.

"Son, do you like the gift dad bought you?"

Although "Kung Fu Panda" has become popular all over the world, little friend Xu Vincent, who is only eight months old, has definitely never seen it. However, children generally have little resistance to furry things.

"like."

The fleshy little hand reached out to take it.

But he was quickly blocked by the 'hateful' big kid on the opposite side.

Looking at her son's cute big eyes.

"You call daddy first, and daddy will give you the doll."

Xu Liang smiled brightly and his eyes were doting, but Master Xu Shiyi did not give him any face.

The little mouth curled up, oooh wow...

Xu Liang was instantly defeated.

"Here, give you a toy."

After getting the big toy, the little guy also stopped crying.

Although he didn't get the title of daddy, the little guy was finally allowed to hold him for the sake of giving him a gift.

On the side, Fukuda Shinmei looked at the happy appearance of father and son, and couldn't help but smile happily on her pretty face.

Nagasawa Masami's face was filled with envy.

The convoy returned to the Xu Family Manor in Setagaya District.

The Xujia Manor, which once only had an area of ​​1,520 square meters, has increased to 3,820 square meters after more than two years of slow acquisition and expansion.

Overall, the manor is composed of three Z-shaped villas.

The main house in the middle is the largest, and the ones on both sides are smaller.

Fukuda Shinmei lives in the main house in the middle, Nagasawa Masami lives in the left one, and the bodyguards and servants live in the right one.

Xu Liang simply put away his luggage and drove to his father-in-law's house.

"Xu Jun."

Father-in-law Fukuda Iwadera and mother-in-law Masakari Fukuda and their family stood outside the door to greet him.

Seeing him coming, the old couple quickly said hello.

My uncle Hideo Fukuda bowed ninety degrees directly.

In the past two years, his 'Futian Wealth Management Co., Ltd.' has developed rapidly with the backing of Hanhua.

In just four years, it has become a well-known wealth management institution in Japan.

The valuation is nearly 200 billion yen.

Gain fame and fortune.

"We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Xu Liang smiled.

Seeing his kind attitude, my father-in-law relaxed his nervousness.

Don't blame him.

Now this son-in-law with no status has achieved so much that he even looks up to him.

Who is Soros?

At that time, he was a big man who traveled across Asia and stomped around in the American father's house, which would shock the global finance.

But such people were stepped into the quagmire by the cheap son-in-law.

If he hadn't been smart and hid quickly, he would have been shot dead.

The news spread, and the entire political and business circles of Japan and South Korea were shocked.

In the past few decades, their two families have never been so tough in front of the American father.

They are all envious.

At the same time, Xu Liang's status in Japan and South Korea has rapidly improved.

South Korea has even produced many so-called history professors. After verifying Xu Liang's family heritage, they swore that he was a South Korean.

He looked proud of it.

Although the Japanese side is not as naked as the Korean side, they also keep publicizing the story of Xu Liang and Fukuda Xinmei, and their words and deeds are the same.

The son-in-law is also a family member.

…

After a simple greeting, the group came to the living room and sat down as host and guest.

In the past, when Xu Liang and Fukuda Xinmei came, Xu Liang stayed behind, and Fukuda Xinmei was led to the side and sat in the corner with her mother Fukuda Masakari, not at the main table.

Now the wife is able to sit next to Xu Liang because of her husband's status.

But not long after sitting down, Xu Wensen, who came with him, struggled to find his grandmother, and she followed him.

"Hideo-san, I heard that Futian Wealth Management Co., Ltd. was named one of the ten most anticipated start-up financial companies in Japan by the FT Financial Times.

Congratulations."

The FT Financial Times was founded in 1888 and is affiliated with the British Pearson Group. It was later acquired by the Japanese Nikkei Shimbun.

It is a world-class global financial newspaper that focuses on providing readers with global economic and business information, economic analysis and comments. It has four printed versions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia.

70% of them are distributed in more than 140 countries outside the United Kingdom, with more than one million readers worldwide, and provide articles covering business, finance, economy and other fields.

Its well-known brand content: London Stock Market Financial Index, Fortune 500 List.

Hanhua also has such an institution - Xueqiu.com.

Now Xueqiu.com is a professional financial website with more than ten languages ​​including Chinese, English, Japanese, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Basically, wherever Hanhua opens an office in a country, the Xueqiu.com page of that country will appear.

Of course, the most professional content on Xueqiu.com is still China's business news.

Now more than 80% of Xueqiu.com's customers are willing to spend $10 per month to upgrade to VIP in order to learn about various news from China's business community.

However, due to its short establishment time, Xueqiu.com's influence in the global financial industry is far from comparable to Forbes, Bloomberg Businessweek, and the Wall Street Journal, the world's top financial media.

After the elder brother-in-law poured a cup of tea and personally handed it to Xu Liang.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your praise. Without the support of you and Hanhua, Fukuda Corporation would not have developed so well."

Xu Liang smiled and accepted the compliment frankly.

"How long do you plan to stay in Japan this time?" Fukuda Hideo asked.

"About half a month. There are too many things in the company. I will go to the UK soon."

"The UK?"

"Some official business."

He didn't say much, and Fukuda Yansi didn't ask much.

"Half a month may not be enough for Xu Jun to acquire Seibu Group."

"Who said I want to acquire Seibu Group?"

The father and son were stunned.

"Xu Jun, aren't you coming to Japan this time to acquire Seibu Group?" said Fukuda Hideo.

"I came here mainly to see Xinmei and Vincent.

As for Seibu Group, it is still the same as before. I only plan to acquire its subsidiaries Muji and Yoshinoya.

As for the overall acquisition of Seibu Group. Haha, let's not talk about its huge debt.

As a national enterprise in Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry may not allow me, a foreigner, to acquire it."

"Now the news that Xu Jun will acquire Seibu Group is circulating in the political and business circles of Japan.

You rushing to Tokyo now also confirms this speculation.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Ruihui Bank will come to you for an interview." said Fukuda Yande.

Both Japan and Germany have a main bank system.

The so-called 'main bank system' means that a company uses a bank as its main lending bank and accepts its leading comprehensive financial services.

The main bank usually holds shares in the company and is deeply involved in the company's management.

In the mid-1990s, there were 62 capital chains between the 100 largest German companies.

The core of the network is financial service providers, namely Deutsche Bank, Allianz Insurance, Munich Reinsurance and Dresdner Bank.

Banks intervene in management rights by virtue of their equity in companies.

Forming a group of financial institutions.

The same is true in Japan. The so-called Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanhe and Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank, the six major chaebols, also control the equity of major industrial giants, forming a powerful chaebol.

This huge alliance can not only resist foreign acquisitions, but also promote each other and develop together.

But the disadvantage is that internal transactions between each other are prone to corruption.

Rigid management systems are also prone to inefficiency and lack of ambition.

And once one or two companies go bankrupt, it is easy to cause systemic risks.

In general, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

But whether it is Germany or Japan, this kind of inseparable chaebol is hated by the "Anglo-Saxon" financial tycoons.

What is popular in the UK and the US is to disperse equity, and the company's management decides the fate of the company.

Financial institutions can influence the future of the entire company through a small amount of equity.

So they naturally hate the impenetrable conglomerate system of Germany and Japan.

They try every possible means to disintegrate the other side.

Then they continue to publicize the shortcomings of the conglomerate system in the media and political circles through the media and lobbying organizations.

Gradually, ordinary people are brainwashed and begin to express their dissatisfaction through marches.

In order to please voters and the Americans, the elected people begin to urge the business community to reform.

Under the dual pressure of internal and external forces, the "main bank system" began to collapse.

Especially after entering the new century, both Germany and Japan began to "beautify" under the strong pressure of the Americans.

Financial giants sold the equity of major companies and no longer participated in management, existing only as pure financial companies.

Enterprises set up investor relations departments, and 80% of the company's shares were listed and circulated.

Investment institutions only need to hold 1% of the shares to become the top shareholders and even control the board of directors.

In the West, this "Anglo-Saxon" governance model is also called the "Financial 2.0 era".

Through such financial reforms, American companies such as BlackRock and Vanguard controlled most of the Western corporate giants with a small amount of equity.

In just ten years, the assets controlled by these asset management institutions expanded from hundreds of billions of dollars to trillions of dollars.

They built a huge financial empire spanning the East and the West.

Of course, Germany and Japan are still between the old era and the financial 2.0 era.

Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank, Fuji Bank and Toyo Industrial Bank formed the Mizuho Financial Group, which still holds the debt and management rights of the Seibu Group.
