Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Among the three companies, although Universal Music is the most valuable, its valuation is only about 8 billion US dollars, and it is definitely not 10 billion US dollars. Moreover, if it were not for the large investment in making movies, unstable profits, and the possibility of losses if misjudged, the value and influence of Universal Pictures would definitely be higher than that of Universal Music.

But the difference between the two is not too big, and 2 billion US dollars is obviously high.

"2 billion US dollars is too high, 1 billion US dollars is very suitable. If you agree, we can sign the contract today, and 1 billion US dollars will be immediately transferred to your company's account."

Lin Hao directly cut it in half. You can make a high-priced offer, and you can pay it back on the spot. When Fumio Ohtsubo heard what Lin Hao said, he was not angry, but said with a smile.

"Lin Haojun, 1 billion US dollars is too low. According to 1 billion US dollars, the entire Universal Music is only worth 5 billion US dollars. You know, Universal Music is the world's largest record company."

"Although it is the world's largest record company, its value is not even 10 billion US dollars. Moreover, with the rise of the Internet, the impact of digital music on the traditional record business is getting bigger and bigger. No one can predict what the future will be like."

Then the two sides went back and forth, and Robert, Morris and others and a group of Panasonic executives refused to give in.

......

"I heard that Panasonic has a semiconductor business. I wonder if President Fumio can introduce it?" Just when the two sides were in a state of anxiety, Lin Hao suddenly said something that surprised both sides.

"Lin Haojun, are you interested in the semiconductor industry?" Fumio Ohtsubo became interested when he heard what Lin Hao said.

"Last month, I made a bet with someone to see who would develop better in the technology field in 5 years. After thinking about it, I chose semiconductors." Lin Hao said to Fumio Ohtsubo.

"Then you've asked the right person. Panasonic's semiconductors are in a leading position in the world, and our semiconductor products are very popular around the world." Otsubo Fumio introduced enthusiastically.

What Otsubo Fumio said was already old news. The semiconductors of the island country were indeed very powerful in the 1980s. More than 50% of the world's semiconductor market was from the island country. The 1980s was the heyday and golden age of the island country's semiconductor industry.

But it soon came to the blow of the United States. The United States made strengthening semiconductors as a national policy and suppressed the semiconductors of the island country in various ways. Japan's share in the semiconductor industry fell from more than 50% at its peak to 20%.

Otsubo Fumio introduced endlessly. Although Robert had already reported a lot, Lin Hao still listened very seriously. There was no way that China's semiconductor industry at this time could be basically described as zero.

"I want to cooperate with your company on semiconductors. I wonder if your company has any intention?" Lin Hao said to Otsubo Fumio.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Otsubo Fumio was overjoyed. In recent years, under the suppression of the United States, Panasonic's semiconductor business has been struggling. It has invested a lot, but its profits have dropped sharply. Now it is shrinking.

If we can get Lin Hao's financial support, it will be a timely help. After all, everyone knows that Lin Hao is financially strong and has just signed an investment agreement with the Chinese government of up to 160 billion US dollars.

"I wonder how Lin Haojun hopes to cooperate?" Otsubo Fumio asked Lin Hao.

"I will be responsible for the investment, you will provide the technology, and both parties will jointly establish a company." Lin Hao responded.

After a little thought, Otsubo Fumio said: "It is acceptable, but Panasonic must take the leading role in the cooperation, and the company should be located in an island country."

"This is absolutely not possible! The company must be controlled by us and built in China." Lin Hao retorted firmly.

"Mr. Lin, you should know that many things in this world cannot be acquired with money. Semiconductor technology is the most advanced technology in the world, and money cannot buy it." Hearing Lin Hao's firm words, Fumio Ohtsubo said bluntly.

"I believe that everything is valuable. It depends on what price you are willing to pay. As far as I know, the semiconductor industry in the island country is declining. If I take out 10 billion US dollars and find partners with the above conditions, I think NEC, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Mitsubishi will be very interested."

Lin Hao looked at Fumio Ohtsubo calmly. The semiconductor technology of the above companies is not worse than Panasonic, and their market share is even higher than Panasonic.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Hao's words, Fumio Ohtsubo's expression, which had not changed much, began to become uncertain. If Lin Hao really invested 10 billion US dollars, there would definitely be other companies willing to cooperate with Lin Hao.

10 billion US dollars is very tempting in this era, and the island country has experiencedThe Plaza Accord and the subsequent economic crisis have caused economic development to be sluggish and all industries are short of funds.

"Just like Chairman Fumio said, we are old friends and we still hope to reach a cooperation with Panasonic."

"Haha, Lin Haojun is right. We are old friends. Of course I am willing to cooperate, but this matter is of great importance. I think we need to discuss it in detail."

"Of course." Lin Hao said with a smile.

.......

Then, the atmosphere between the two sides was much better. 20% of Universal Music's shares were finally sold at a price of 1.5 billion US dollars. Both parties were very satisfied with the price of 1.5 billion US dollars, but whether it was Lin Hao or Otsubo Fumio, their minds were not on this now.

Lin Hao painted a pie for Otsubo Fumio with an investment of 10 billion US dollars, and this 1.5 billion US dollars is now a bit like chicken ribs.

"Congratulations to Lin Haojun, 100% holding of the world's largest music company." After the two sides reached an agreement, Otsubo Fumio stood up and said to Lin Hao with a smile.

"Haha, congratulations, Panasonic also received 1.5 billion US dollars, and can focus more on the field of technology." Lin Hao said with a smile.

The two had different thoughts. After shaking hands, Otsubo Fumio sent Lin Hao and others out of the company. Looking at Lin Hao's back, Otsubo Fumio asked directly without looking back.

"Is Lin Hao satisfied with the arrangement last night? Did he say anything?"

Takahashi Ichiro, who was standing behind him, immediately said: "Hi, when I went there this morning, Lin Hao was having breakfast with Ishihara Satomi. He said he was very satisfied last night, but mentioned Nakamori Meisai, Kudo Shizuka, and Sakai Noriko."

"Then arrange it for him."

"Hi."

......

After Lin Hao left Panasonic, he did not return to the hotel, but went to the branch of Universal Music in the island country. Universal Music has branches in many places around the world. As an economic power, the island country naturally has branches.
