Chapter 958 Complaining

"I don't like Yankees. Yankees are always arrogant, as if they are superior to us." Akiyama Haruhiko waved his arms and said, "Always use their management methods that don't talk about worldly sophistication, but Don’t think about it, this is Japan, not the United States! It’s also a change of boss, I’d rather be Mr. Fang!”

Yoshida Harunouchi could not help but smile wryly. Of course he understands that the management methods of Japanese companies are incompatible with the management methods of American companies. Taking the most direct example, in the United States, laying off employees can be said to be a very normal corporate behavior. , but in Japan, when any company needs to lay off employees during the economic downturn, it must be cautious, otherwise it may cause huge troubles.

Moreover, the Japanese really feel like a dwarf in front of the Americans.Especially after the Japanese economy has been bogged down and stagnated for years.

The Japanese market is quite a xenophobic market. It is not easy for foreign companies to enter the Japanese market. There are also many Fang family industries in Japan. As Yoshida Harunouchi knows, these companies Enterprises still follow the employment rules that Japan has formed over the years, and can quickly adapt to the market atmosphere in Japan. The reason why the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group was able to quickly turn losses into profits after being acquired was due to Fang Mingyuan's brilliant marketing methods, several management system reforms that won the hearts of the people, and the selection of a few good managers, etc., but it cannot be denied , The management and employees of the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group quickly accepted the fact that the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group was acquired by the Fang family, and did not cause any trouble.

If Wal-Mart participates in Seiyu Corporation.It is conceivable that Wal-Mart's Western-style management will be introduced into Seiyu for a long time in the future.Seiyu's company will definitely not be so peaceful.

"It's better for Huaxia people, even if they are major shareholders, they are respectful to our people." Akiyama Haraguang laughed twice.Japan can now be said to be an important investor in China, and has many joint ventures in China. Hikari Akiyama has also heard from many sources that Japanese can enjoy super-national treatment in China.

"Hmph, don't say that. Mr. Fang, if you also have such thoughts, then wait to be dealt with." Yoshida Harunouchi snorted coldly and said.In Fang Mingyuan's company.The Japanese have never been superior to the Chinese.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Akiyama Harahiko's face, but he quickly raised his glass and said, "Yoshida-kun, if the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group really acquires Seibu Department Store, should you come back to the group company? Or just take it together Invest in the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group?" If Seibu Department Store is really acquired by the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group.Yoshida Harunouchi returned to the Seibu Group Company, and there was no suitable seat for him.After all, there are only so many upper-level management positions, one radish and one pit. Before a new company is established, or before someone retires to give up his position, Yoshida Harunouchi might just be an idler with a job but no rights.

Yoshida Harunouchi shook his head and said: "It's too early to say this, the negotiation is just beginning. It's hard to say when there will be a result." Although Seibu Department Store said that the development in recent years is far inferior to that of Sogo0 Co., Ltd. club group.But after all, it is also a long-established department store in Japan, and the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group wants to swallow it.Nor can it be done in a moment.

"What's the attitude of Mizuho Industrial Bank?" Hikari Akiyama continued to ask.Mizuho Industrial Bank is the largest creditor of Seibu Department Store, and more than 60.00% of Seibu Department Store's creditor's rights are in the hands of Mizuho Industrial Bank.And not only that, Mizuho Industrial Bank is also the second largest creditor of Seiyu Department Store, owning nearly 20.00% of the creditor's rights of Seiyu Department Store.

Yoshida Harunouchi sighed lightly and said: "Does that matter? Of course it was vigorously promoted." In recent years, especially after the failure of the acquisition of sogo0 Co., Ltd., Seibu Department Store's performance continued to decline. Before the outbreak, the income and expenditure were already barely balanced, and the profits were minimal.And a sudden epidemic can be said to be doomed, and Seibu Department Store will lose money this year.

Mizuho Industrial Bank had always been uneasy about whether the debt worth nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars could be recovered in full in a timely manner. Now that sogo0 Co., Ltd. is willing to acquire Seibu Department Store, this is of course a big deal for Mizuho Industrial Bank. It's a good thing - at least, the possibility of this debt being irrecoverable is greatly reduced.Therefore, these days, the people of Mizuho Industrial Bank have also heard voices from different channels supporting the acquisition of Seibu Department Store by the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group.

"Hmph, of course they are happy!" Akiyama Harahiko said disdainfully, "Now, they have the opportunity to become partners in Fang Jun's industries." Fang Mingyuan's industries in Japan have pretty good fundamentals, especially It's gamestation company and Sega Co., Ltd., which are the leaders in the world's home game console industry.Such a high-quality enterprise is naturally also the object of competition from major banks in Japan.Mizuho Industrial Bank, as the joint merger of Daiichi Kanyo Bank, Fuji Bank and Industrial Bank of Japan, is currently the largest financial group in Japan by assets, and naturally it will not turn a blind eye to these companies.

In the past, First Quanye Bank, Fuji Bank and Industrial Bank of Japan did not cooperate much with the industries under the Fang family. This is not because they despise these industries under the Fang family, but because their hands are not as fast as other banks.The financial industry in Japan is very developed and the competition is fierce. There are also foreign banks joining in. In order to win high-quality customers, banks can also break heads with each other.The financial business of the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group is also the coveted object of many banks, but the Japanese Municipal Bank firmly controls it and keeps its peers out as much as possible.And if the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group successfully acquired Seibu Department Store, then Mizuho Industrial Bank, as the creditor bank of Seibu Department Store, will naturally become the cooperative bank of the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group.Break through the obstruction of the municipal bank.

So even if he thinks with his ass, Hikari Akiyama can also think of which side the management of Mizuho Industrial Bank will stand on.Those who run banks are always mothers who have milk.It has always been to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When Seibu Group Corporation ranked first in the corporate rankings of Japanese companies, which bank in the country did not come together like a dog wagging its tail.Up to now, the performance of Seibu Group has been shrinking, and these banks have completely changed their appearance.

Yoshida Harunouchi sighed heavily, although it is said that Seibu Group Corporation still wants to retain a part of the equity of Seibu Department Store, but it is just as Akiyama Harunouchi said.Mizuho Industrial Bank is happy to see this result. I am afraid that in the end, it will be difficult for Seibu Group to realize this wish.

But Yoshida Harunouchi also faintly felt it in his heart.It is not a bad thing that Seibu Department Store has completely separated from the Seibu Group Company and was acquired by the Sogo0 Co., Ltd., without the constraints from the Seibu Group Company.Perhaps Seibu Department Store will be reborn like sogo0 Co., Ltd. group.In any case, the current situation of Seibu Department Store is better than that of the sogo0 Co., Ltd. group.

"Hey, Yoshida-kun, have you heard? Rebirth Bank, which is controlled by American capital, is going to go public in the near future." Hikari Akiyama Hara raised his neck and drank another glass of sake, "Why do you think this Rebirth Bank is like this? Good luck. It was picked up by Sega Co., Ltd. as soon as it was successfully reorganized, and it was able to take over almost one-third of Sega Co., Ltd.’s business. It’s only two years away. It’s about to go public!”

"Well, I heard that the U.S. Poolwoods Investment Group, which controls Rebirth Bank, has considerable influence in the U.S. investment industry, with a registered capital of over [-] million yuan." Yoshida Harunouchi shook his head and said.

The predecessor of Resei Bank was Japan's Long-term Credit Bank. After the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Japan's Long-term Credit Bank was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to be nationalized and placed under temporary trusteeship by the Japanese government. In the middle of 2000, the Japanese government sold the Japan Long-term Credit Bank to the American Pool Woods Investment Group for US$16 billion. This was the first time that a foreign company acquired a Japanese local bank, which brought a huge impact on the Japanese domestic banking industry. .After the U.S. Poolwoods Investment Group obtained the Long-term Credit Bank of Japan, it changed its name to the Rebirth Bank, which means that the new bank will be reborn from nirvana.

After re-opening, Shinsei Bank quickly won the favor of Sega Co., Ltd., and handed over one-third of its financial business to Shinsei Bank. Its behavior made many Japanese companies trust Shinsei Bank greatly increased.In just a few years, Resei Bank has become one of the banks with the highest profit margin and the lowest bad debt rate in Japan.

"Alas..." Akiyamahara Mitsuchang sighed, "Our Seibu Group owned one-sixth of Japan's land at the time, worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Our boss used to be the richest man in the world, but we Why didn’t you think of holding a bank in the first place? If we can be like those consortiums, with one or two large banks as the core enterprises, wouldn’t Seibu Group Corporation be where it is today?”

Yoshida Harunouchi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Akiyama, there is an old saying in China, which translates to mean that you are not a fish. How do you know that fish are not happy? I want to say, if you are not in the banking business, how do you know the life of the bank?" How are you doing?"

In Japan, the relationship between the financial industry and enterprise groups is often extremely close.Before Japan's bubble economy burst, Japan's leading large banks were basically controlled by powerful Japanese business groups.Most of the major banks in Japan have major shareholders who are powerful companies in Japan.Enterprises and conglomerates snatch the controlling stake in banks for their own development. In doing so, they can not only share the profits of the banks by virtue of their equity, but also control the banks to issue huge loans to themselves. This is the reason why these companies are expanding rapidly. sources of funding!In this way, it can realize its own business expansion and scale expansion by occupying bank funds at low cost!

And there is another very important one, that is, these companies and enterprise groups also control the bank to obtain information about other companies that have business dealings with the bank, which is beneficial for these companies and enterprise groups to expand their customer groups, and at the same time Control affiliated companies with which you have business dealings.Because there are so many benefits, Japanese companies like to hold shares in banks.

At the same time, banks also like to hold shares in Japanese companies, so that companies can provide banks with a large amount of stable business income!So as to achieve a win-win situation.

However, after the bursting of the bubble economy, Japan's financial industry fell into a quagmire due to a large number of non-performing loans. After the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, many Japanese financial institutions went bankrupt or were on the verge of bankruptcy. Long-term Credit Bank is one of them.Although this model is still very popular in Japan, a small number of banks have gotten rid of this model.

If Seibu Group had controlled a large Japanese bank, it would have been more convenient and quicker to obtain bank funds, and perhaps it would have died faster when the bubble economy burst!

"Yoshida-kun, do you think Mr. Fang also wants to enter the Japanese financial industry?" Akiyama Harahikari said suddenly, holding the wine glass, "He wants to expand rapidly in Japan, and he also needs a huge amount of financial support."

Yoshida Harunouchi pondered for a moment before saying: "I personally think that from the perspective of Mr. Fang's industrial layout in China, he must also want to enter the Japanese financial industry, but after thinking about it, it is very difficult to actually implement it! "

Akiyama Harahikari also couldn't help but fell silent. Japan is a developed capitalist country, so it naturally vigorously advocates economic liberalization, but in essence, the Japanese government has always been very vigilant about foreign capital entering the country, and is worried that foreign capital will control Japanese industries.Therefore, the Japanese government formulated strict restrictive regulations for foreign capital, and set high thresholds for international capital to enter some important industries, such as manufacturing and financial industries.The vast majority of foreign capital entering Japan is required to enter industries that have little impact on Japan's national security and the lifeline of the national economy, mainly the tertiary industry such as the service industry.

Otherwise, it would not have been until 2000 that Long-Term Credit Bank became the first Japanese bank to be acquired by foreign capital.

At this time, Akiyama Harahikari's mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, and Akiyama Harahikari glanced at Yoshida Harunouchi in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Yoshida Harunouchi asked strangely. (To be continued..)
