Mitsui Xiuyi was looking forward to the Sumitomo Consortium's response, but the Sumitomo Consortium didn't know how to deal with it.
Stop Natsume's broadband rollout?
Don't mess around. Although the four major consortiums had a lot of influence on the government, the government itself was not controlled by the consortiums. The Fusang government was actually controlled by various political families.
For the political families, the most important thing was political achievements and the people's goodwill, so they would never destroy the broadband installation at this time.
And as Mitsui Xiuyi analyzed, the Sumitomo Consortium now wanted to get a share of the 12.4 billion USD infrastructure plan from Natsume. Wasn't it better to earn a few billion USD?
So soon, the people of the Sumitomo Consortium took the initiative to come to the door. The person who forced Natsume Haruko to sell the company now had a sweet smile on her face. She smiled and came to Natsume Haruko to promote the relevant businesses and products of the Sumitomo Consortium, hoping to get a share of the 12 billion USD as soon as possible.
At the same time, the people of the Sumitomo Consortium also expressed very kindly that if the cooperation went well, the two sides would have the opportunity to turn enemies into friends. This was not impossible.
In this regard, Natsume Haruko seemed to have forgotten the good deeds of the Sumitomo Consortium. Instead, she warmly received the people of the Sumitomo Consortium and talked with them for a long time.
Then, she said that everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. Natsume was very willing to cooperate with the Sumitomo Consortium. Then, the Sumitomo Consortium and Natsume Haruko quickly reached an agreement of intent. In the process of laying out broadband, all the metal materials purchased by the Natsume Consortium would be directly purchased from Sumitomo Materials. At the same time, many infrastructure projects would be handed over to the Sumitomo Consortium. Even the construction team would be handed over to the Sumitomo Consortium.
Anyway, except for optical fiber, almost everything was handed over to the Sumitomo Consortium. In a short time, the purchase value of this agreement of intent had already reached a huge purchase contract of 5 billion USD.
Although the people of the Sumitomo Consortium tried their best to keep this agreement of intent confidential and not let other consortiums know, there was no such thing as a wall.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Very soon, the contract was placed in front of Mitsui Hidei.
"Baka!" Mitsui Xiuyi kicked the coffee table in front of him.
"These bastards from Sumitomo, they actually want to monopolize this $5 billion order!" Mitsui Hidei was really angry. His previous attitude of watching a show was completely gone.
Although the Mitsui Consortium was one of the four major consortiums in Fusang, an order worth up to 5 billion USD was a temptation that no consortium could refuse. How could they let the Sumitomo Consortium have such benefits?
"Previously, the Sumitomo Consortium wanted to invest in Natsume alone. The three consortiums have already given you face. Not only did we not obstruct your acquisition, but we also provided a lot of help.
But now, you want to take the five billion USD order for yourself. You're not a human being!
Seeing this, everyone might be puzzled. Wasn't he the one who took over Xiamu for himself? Didn't the larger financial groups help him?
Why were they collectively angry now?
His attitude had changed so quickly that it was unbelievable.
The reason for this was actually very simple. Previously, the Sumitomo Consortium wanted to acquire Xiamu. This Xiamu might have great potential, but it was only a company with a valuation of a few hundred million USD.
If the Sumitomo Consortium wanted to acquire Xiamu Network, they would have to spend at least a few hundred million USD to acquire it. Then, they would have to invest funds to maintain the development of Xiamu Network. Even if Xiamu Network could make money in the future, it would take a few years for it to generate profits.
Therefore, the three major consortiums couldn't get any profit from this matter. Naturally, they wouldn't stop it. Instead, they cooperated with the Sumitomo Consortium's acquisition.
But now, it was different. The Sumitomo Consortium had swallowed an order worth 5 billion USD. According to the Sumitomo Consortium's usual behavior, the profit in this deal was at least 2 billion USD. This was a huge profit. How could the other three consortiums sit still and do nothing?
Moreover, after the announcement of this agreement, the share prices of the various companies under the three consortiums rose by more than 5 billion USD!
The development of the matter was very obvious. The Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Fuji Consortiums that hadn't taken any action before suddenly took action at the same time. They went to Natsume's network and blocked our Natsume Haruko. They began to question Natsume Haruko why she gave all the business to the Sumitomo Consortium. Did she not put them in her eyes?
At this time, Xiamu Haruko felt very wronged. She said that she had been harmed by the Sumitomo Consortium for so long. She was very afraid of the Sumitomo Consortium.
Especially when she went around to borrow money, the banks of the three consortiums didn't lend her a single cent. So Xiamu Haruko thought that the four major consortiums had a good relationship with the Sumitomo Consortium. So when she signed the contract with the Sumitomo Consortium, the other three consortiums wouldn't object.
Xiamu Haruko's words made the people from the three consortiums speechless. Moreover, they couldn't refute it because they had indeed refused Xiamu Haruko's loan.
So the attitude of the three consortiums also softened. They said that things weren't like what Xiamu Haruko thought. In any case, the three consortiums also wanted a share of this 12.4 billion USD order. Otherwise, humph!
In this regard, Xiamu Haruko immediately said that she was willing to cooperate with the request of the four consortiums. If there was money, everyone could earn it together. However, they had already signed an agreement with the Sumitomo Consortium.
If she broke the agreement at this time, the Sumitomo Consortium would definitely kill her.
So unless the three consortiums had the ability to persuade the Sumitomo Consortium to stop causing trouble, she would be relieved to re-sign the contract.
In this regard, the three consortiums naturally all agreed. If you want to make money, you naturally have to pay the price. Not to mention, the Sumitomo Consortium couldn't make a fortune alone. Didn't the four consortiums agree to work together?
So the three consortiums went to the Sumitomo Consortium together and said that the three of them also wanted a share of this contract. Otherwise, the Sumitomo Consortium should think about it. Could one of them beat the three of them?
Of course, the Sumitomo Financial Group was very clear about this. In fact, the Sumitomo Financial Group also knew that it would be extremely difficult for them to monopolize this deal. Since the three major consortiums came knocking on their door, the Sumitomo Financial Group could only admit defeat. Then, the four major consortiums gathered in Natsume to renegotiate the purchase division of this huge $12.4 billion order.
