Feng Yu does not know Sony and the rest are discussing about forming an alliance. He only knew that Masao Kameda told him that Sun Zhengyi rejected their conditions and insisted on a 90% split. That's why this deal fell through.
But Feng Yu does not mind. Although Softbank has many software companies, nothing is irreplaceable. Even Microsoft's products can be replaced, let alone some less important software.
At the same time, Masao Kameda told Feng Yu something important. Since Wind and Rain Holdings announced their intention to invest in shipyards, many shipyards contacted Wind and Rain Holdings, hoping to invest in Wind and Rain Holdings.
Among the shipyards, there are large shipyards that build cruise ships and small yachts. But all of them only want Wind and Rain Holdings to invest in them. Even the proportion is not high, and none of them is willing to give more than one-third of the shares.
Feng Yu does not want to give less than one-third of the shares. Feng Yu had wanted to be the controlling shareholder or even sole proprietorship. Since that's not possible, he will give at least one-third of the shares to Wind and Rain.
If one owns more than two-thirds of the company's shares, he will be the controlling shareholder. He can ignore the opinions of the other shareholders and make decisions on the company's operations.
Although those shipbuilding companies had sold some of their shares to Feng Yu, there were still hidden dangers. Feng Yu must be wary of them.
Feng Yu is not even satisfied with a third of the total amount. He will not lack money when he gets back the profits from the financial markets next year.
As Hua Xia's economy is getting better, the coastal development is getting faster. Especially the coastal tourism industry. Many people from inland like to visit the seaside and even settle down there.
Some coastal cities have put up the slogan of sea-view houses. Many cities even rely on the so-called sea-view houses to drive a large annual GDP growth.
As more tycoons in China increase, it's no longer strange for people to own a yacht like those seen in the movies. Hua Xia's yacht industry is on the rise.
In the past few years, the world's yacht industry had been doing well because the global economy is doing well. The yacht manufacturing companies in the US and Europe had received lots of orders.
But this is because of the sub-prime mortgage crisis. This year's yacht orders had failed, and next year will be worse.
This caused the profits of many yacht companies to plummet. At the same time, labor costs and other costs continued to increase, causing the profits of these yacht companies to plummet.
Feng Yu had planned to acquire a large shipbuilding company and one or two smaller yacht brands. This should be enough.
But after Feng Yu made the arrangements, he found out that most of the world's top shipbuilding companies are in Asia. The European and US countries are not good.
The European and US military is so powerful, but why are their shipbuilding industries so weak?
First, Russia, the US, and other countries had completed their military equipment and were much ahead of China. They mainly focused on technical research and development, but they did not mass-produce them. The old models were enough to ensure that they were the world's best.
Japan, South Korea, and China are all developing their ocean shipping business. Their demand for cruise ships is growing faster, and the shipyards in Japan and South Korea are combining military and civilian shipyards.
Four shipyards in Japan, South Korea, and Hua Xia are in the top 20. That's why Asia, or the Pacific Rim, is the world's most developed shipyard. If you include the top 20 shipyards, there will be a few shipyards in Southeast Asia, India, etc. That's why Asia, or the Pacific Rim, is the world's most developed shipyard.
But many small shipyards in the US are making good profits. They only introduce one or two popular models of ships, and it is like a strategic product.
Especially for small ships like yachts. Europe and the US are leading Asia. Japan, South Korea, and Hua Xia are not among them, but there is one shipyard in Southeast Asia.
That's why Feng Yu stopped his plan to acquire large shipyards. He changed his plan to acquire small yacht manufacturing companies. Europe and the US are leading in these areas.
After acquiring these companies, Feng Yu can set up two shipyards in Hua Xia, and at the same time, he can also enter the local market.
Ralph and the rest had done market analysis and felt that the probability of losing money is less than 1%, and the probability of making money is more than 80%. There is still a chance of breaking even.
Since this is the case, why not do it?
It is still difficult to acquire the shares of the port. The global trade is very developed now, and the ports are like the hen that lays golden eggs. Not many people are willing to sell their shares, unless their companies are facing financial difficulties.
Feng Yu is very calm about this. Even if they did not face financial difficulties this year, what about next year?
The global economic situation will worsen next year. In Feng Yu's previous life, many small shipyards will suffer significant losses next year.
Many shareholders of the ports are also shareholders of the shipyards. If they do not sell their shares this year, it might not happen next year.
Also, shipyards are different from automobile companies. Feng Yu needs their brands and technologies to set up factories in Hua Xia. That's why Feng Yu doesn't care if those shipyards suffer losses or even close down their factories.
As long as the technologies are good and the brand is not ruined, it is worth acquiring.
Feng Yu told Masao Kameda that there is no hurry to discuss this. This is because Feng Yu intends to spend money to acquire the shipyards at the end of next year.
Since Feng Yu told Masao Kameda what to do, he knows what to do. It is like negotiating with the automobile companies. The longer he drags on, the less money he will spend. If the other party is willing to sell their technologies now, they can have a good talk.
Feng Yu starts to communicate with the higher-ups to make some preparations. This way, after the negotiations are over, they can start to build the shipyards. They can even build the framework of the shipyards first.
… …
"General Manager Feng, what did you say earlier? You want to invest in shipyards?!" Committee Member Bao looks at Feng Yu with a weird look. Why does Feng Yu want to invest in shipyards all of a sudden?
Feng Yu crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa. "What's wrong? What's so strange about this? Didn't I say that we are only building small yachts and fishing boats? We are the weakest in the world, and the government does not allow us to invest in shipyards. "
"This is not against the regulations. But you can build fishing boats, but can yachts make money?" Committee Member Bao asked.
"You must not know how many yachts our country imports every year and how big the market is. Furthermore, I also lack a yacht, and I can build my own shipyard. "Feng Yu replied casually.
Committee Member Bao's eyes widen. Is Feng Yu going to invest in a shipyard just to build a yacht?
