Early the next morning, as soon as Zheng Yan and others finished breakfast, Masamoto Yamamoto came to the hotel with Sony staff.

"Zheng Jun, we are all friends, so I won't beat around the bush. Since you are ready to sell your shares, Sony intends to take them all."

Yamamoto Masaru had already gotten to know Zheng Yan's character through several negotiations with him, so he went straight to the topic after sitting down.

"Mr. Yamamoto, since I have plans to sell, I don't care who owns these shares later. You also said that we are friends. Since you intend to take over, as long as the price is right, of course I will

Will not refuse."

Zheng Yan thought to himself, since you have to jump into the pit yourself, I won't stop you.

"Zheng Jun, in that case, you can take a look at this document. It contains the stock price as of yesterday and the sales information of the company's products. It also contains information about the equity you hold, as well as the quotation given by Sony.

After you read it, we will discuss it in detail."

Yamamoto Masa also knew that Zheng Yan was difficult to deal with. He kept staring at Zheng Yan while Zheng Yan was checking the documents, trying to get some information from Zheng Yan's face. But to Yamamoto Masa's disappointment, Zheng Yan had no expression from beginning to end.

A little change.

Although Zheng Yan has obtained this information about the company from Aso Miyuki, it is not as detailed as the one provided by Yamamoto Masaru. Aso Miyuki is only the spokesperson of 4510 Technology Company and does not participate in the specific management of the company.

Zheng Yan found from the data provided by Yamamoto Masaru that the sales volume of the company's products was much higher than that provided by Aso Miyuki, and the stock price also increased slightly. Of course, these are also good things for Zheng Yan, indicating the company's visible potential.

The higher the price, the better the price and the more advantage in negotiation.

But when Zheng Yan looked at Sony's quotation, he discovered that, as Miyuki Aso said, not only did Sony's quotation not have any premium, but it was a discount. It was only 95% of the market value, which was not particularly excessive.

"Mr. Yamamoto, what do you think of the prospects of the joint venture?"

Yamamoto was stunned when Zheng Yan asked him, "Zheng Jun, the company's stock price has said everything. No one should doubt this."

"Mr. Yamamoto, since everyone is optimistic about the company's prospects, and currently, the company's profitability far exceeds that of other companies in the industry, why can't I see any sincerity in your company's quotation?"

When Yamamoto was negotiating with Sony's senior management, he thought that Zheng Yan's shares should be sold for urgent needs when the company was developing rapidly. Although based on Yamamoto's understanding of Zheng Yan, there was no place where Zheng Yan needed such a large amount of money.

Although I had a small amount of capital, I lowered the price with a trial attitude. And I was afraid that Zheng Yan would refuse the transaction, so I only lowered the price by half, just to have room for maneuver.

"Zheng Jun, you also know that this transaction is not just tens of millions when we purchased the software agency rights. This time it involves billions of dollars. Even for Sony, it is not a small amount, and

I believe that no one of the current shareholders of the company, except Sony, can come up with such a large sum of money."

Yamamoto had never taken the initiative in past negotiations. This time he thought he could control Zheng Yan with the original agreement, but he didn't know that Zheng Yan had already thought of countermeasures for this situation.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I do not deny the situation you mentioned. But you have ignored one point. We do have an agreement. The shares in my hand can only be circulated within the company's shareholders, and other shareholders cannot take advantage of me.

shares, but I don’t necessarily have to sell my shares to a company

If I am not satisfied with Sony's offer, with the shares in my hand, I can apply for a shareholders' meeting and then sell the shares separately. If I do this, it does not violate the agreement. Of course, under the same circumstances, Sony is still my

My first choice. Besides, I don’t want to be too troublesome.”

When Yamamoto Masahiro heard Zheng Yan's words, he became anxious. Sony's senior management had given orders to acquire this acquisition no matter what. In addition to being optimistic about the company's prospects, it was also to gain control of the company.

inside.

"Zheng Jun, I know that the situation you mentioned is completely achievable. It's not that Sony wants to take advantage of the situation. In fact, Sony's current liquidity is also very tight. Currently, Sony is preparing to acquire Columbia Pictures, and the funds involved are far beyond this.

This is the purchase of shares, so we gave such a price. Of course, if Zheng Jun is not satisfied, I can negotiate with the company again."

Only then did Zheng Yan remember that Sony launched a merger and acquisition that shocked the world, acquiring Columbia Pictures for US$6 billion. The final loss reached more than US$3 billion, which was also the most serious merger and acquisition in the world.

Sony has tasted the bitter consequences of this, and it can be regarded as a typical example of digging a hole for itself and burying itself.

"Mr. Yamamoto, maybe you are telling the truth, but these have nothing to do with our transaction, right? If Sony really can't take the shares in my hand, I can sell you part of it, but you can't give it to me.

price. Otherwise, I would rather spend more time and split the shares before selling them."

"Zheng Jun, please give me some time. I will contact the company's senior management now and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Yamamoto Masaru had issued a military order for this acquisition. He was afraid that something might happen, so after Zheng Yan agreed, he went out to contact Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan is not in a hurry. In fact, if Yamamoto Masaru can be tougher and insists a little longer, maybe Zheng Yan will agree. Yamamoto Masaru is afraid that he will not be able to buy the shares in Zheng Yan's hands, and Zheng Yan is also afraid that after a while

After a while, the shares in his hands could no longer be sold. It was just that Yamamoto was really worried about negotiating with Zheng Yan.

About half an hour later, Yamamoto Masaru hurried in again.

"Zheng Jun, I just contacted the senior management of Sony. Sony is willing to buy all the shares in your hand at today's closing price. However, we can only pay you 95% of the funds upfront and the rest."

Five percent will be credited to your company's account before the end of August. Sony is a big company after all, and we have only prepared so much funds for this acquisition. Now it will take time to borrow funds from other places."

Zheng Yan thought for a moment and realized that there were still a few months until Japan's economic bubble burst, so it would not affect this acquisition at all.

"Mr. Yamamoto, in that case, we can cooperate happily."

Zheng Yan knew that there was still room for the price to rise, but considering that he had such a net worth now, thanks to Yamamoto Masaru, he really couldn't bear to cheat him, so he agreed.
