v3 Chapter 1245： Nearly 0 billion yen funding shortfall

Latest website: "President Haneda, what you asked me to investigate has progressed."

The first sentence of the subordinate after entering the door disturbed Haneda's mind. He put down his pen and asked in a deep voice, "How far have you found it?"

The subordinate immediately replied: "The enemy uses an anonymous account in the stock market, so it is very difficult to find out. The reason why I found out so quickly is due to the offline acquisition team. They are watching the movements of major shareholders according to your instructions. , Discovered that someone was secretly contacting Suntory’s small and medium shareholders, and then tracked down and discovered that these people finally went to Jiuding Securities."

"Unexpectedly Jiuding Securities Company!"

"I have already contacted shareholders..."

Hyouhei Haneda frowned, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart.

In the past few months, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has been in the limelight and its strength is obvious to all. Companies in the financial industry have realized that it is a fierce financial giant.

Unexpectedly, the Suntory company that Mitsui & Co. entrusted them to acquire was also targeted by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd., and the other party was still in the advanced stage.

It is not at all clear to what extent Jiuding Securities has reached.

On their side, together with the equity of Suntory they held during their previous investment, they now hold 4.72% of the equity of Suntory.

In this kind of competition, the difficulty for Mitsui Securities to complete the acquisition target will exponentially increase.

The current largest shareholder is the Torii family, and the disclosed cumulative shareholding ratio is 21.7%.

According to the original plan, Mitsui Securities will acquire more than 22% of the equity, surpassing the Torii family, and then transfer all the equity to Mitsui & Co., using the power of the consortium to overwhelm the Torii family. Put Suntory in control.

"Now that the plan has been disrupted, I'm not sure how much equity Jiuding Securities has acquired. There are fewer and fewer options..."

Haneda Hyohei sat in the position to meditate for ten minutes, then suddenly got up and took his subordinates to the operation room where the operation team responsible for the acquisition was located.

"President Haneda."

"Well, what happened to the acquisition?"

Yohei Haneda asked Ichiro Kameda, the person in charge of the operation, but looked at the electronic disk.

Kameda Ichiro said with ashamed expression: “President Haneda, the results of the acquisition are not satisfactory. At present, the daily trading volume of Suntory’s stock is declining day by day. In addition, there are opponents rushing to raise money with us, so it is more troublesome.”

"The market opened today and it has only bought 264,000 shares."

It was Haneda Yohei who was mentally prepared, but when he heard this data, he was still disappointed, and his heart sank.

At any rate, Suntory is a large listed company with a market value of nearly 400 billion yen. The company's total share capital is as high as 420 million shares. Now that the trading volume is so low, it is very likely that a large number of loose shares have been bought by Jiuding Securities.

It is no longer possible to count on rushing to raise money in the stock market to turn around, and the cost will be extremely high, and there is no upper limit.

"Is the momentum of the opponent's bidding fierce?"

Haneda Yohei asked again.

Kameda Ichiro shook his head: "It's not very ferocious, it's just normal intensity."

Haneda Hyouhei narrowed his eyes and figured out the intention of Jiuding Securities.

It seems that Jiuding Securities does not want the stock price to be too high, which will affect the acquisition outside the stock market.

He decisively ordered Kameda Ichiro: "We also reduce the intensity of acquisitions. If our opponents do not increase their efforts, then we will also cooperate and control Suntory's share price as much as possible. It is best if it can fall."

"The day after tomorrow is Friday, so hold on for two more days!"

"Yes!" Kameda Ichiro didn't know why, but he still took the order faithfully.

Haneda Hyouhei turned and left the operation room, immediately summoned the competent cadres of the investment and merger department, took a short meeting in 20 minutes, issued an order to tackle the shareholders, and divided the task into various groups, and set a time limit. .

After the meeting, a group of employees left Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. aggressively.

...

After all, Mitsui Securities is one step behind Jiuding Securities.

Before they started to act, Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. used money and smashed six shareholders at a cost of 52.74 billion yen and bought 35.4 million shares at an average premium of 58%.

As a result, Jiuding Securities' shareholding ratio in Suntory has soared to 16.43%.

But after Mitsui Securities Co. intervened, other acquisitions that were under negotiation instantly entered a state of anxiety.

Once the two parties compete, the news cannot be hidden.

In order to obtain higher benefits, one of the shareholders took the initiative to spread the news.

Mitsui Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. are competing for shares in Suntory!

The three companies are all giant-level companies, and the news is so explosive and explosive that it immediately attracted countless eyes.

Many fast-reacting institutions and stockholders immediately poured into the stock market to speculate on Suntory's stock price.

As the sole victim of Suntory, the president Keizo Torii was shocked at this time, and immediately called all shareholders to inquire about the situation and convened the tribe to discuss countermeasures.

2:12 in the afternoon.

"Father, I'm back."

The last important person, Torii Keizo's son, Torii Nobuya, rushed to the family chamber, and after reporting to the upper father, he achieved the only vacant position on the right hand of Torii Keizo.

Opposite Torii Nobuya, his cousin who is nine years older than him, Shinichiro Torii, who is the vice president of Suntory.

"Okay, everyone has arrived. Now we have a meeting. I will tell you the situation first."

Torii Keizan looked very heavy, and said in a deep voice, "Today, our family has encountered the biggest crisis in history. Two large securities companies, Mitsui Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. have opened their mouths to us and want to The company that our family has run for 84 years is taken away!"

"The extent of the current crisis is still unknown. We don't know how many shares Mitsui Securities Co. and Jiuding Securities Co. have bought from the stock market and shareholders, and we are not sure how high their true shareholding ratio is."

"After so many years of mergers and acquisitions and listings, our family currently only holds 21.7% of the company's equity. This ratio is already relatively high in the overall environment."

"but!"

"Both Mitsui Securities and Jiuding Securities have a consortium. The former is our domestic Mitsui consortium, and the latter is a large consortium from abroad. No matter which one it is, its strength is far beyond our family!"

Hearing this, everyone felt heavy and felt a sense of oppression and suffocation.

They don’t know the foreign consortium behind Jiuding Securities, but how can they be unclear about the power of the Mitsui Consortium?

As a competitor, they are very clear about Mitsui's ambitions in the alcohol market. Now that Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. has launched such a naked acquisition, they can easily think that Mitsui & Co. has changed its strategy for the alcohol market.

This also means that they have no retreat, and the price of bowing is to give up some or all of the equity, and the company is no longer the final decision of their family.

"At this time of crisis, we must be united. At present, Suntory's equity is still scattered in everyone's hands. I propose to establish a family fund, and everyone's equity will be replaced with equity in the family fund in proportion to the value.

After speaking, Torii Keizan glanced at everyone.

His son Nobuya Torii did not hesitate to support him, raising his hand and saying, "I agree."

Others looked at Torii Shinichiro subconsciously, because he was actually the eldest grandson of the Torii family.

Torii Shinichiro did not disappoint Torii Keizo. He raised his hand and replied loudly, "I agree too."

"agree!"

"agree!"

...

The others agreed, and Keizo Torii showed a smile before disappearing.

At this critical moment, the shares of Suntory held by the tribesmen can be integrated together, eliminating many risks.

Although he doesn't believe that any tribe will betray the family...

"I will send someone to register the family fund later. As for the specific rules and regulations, I will improve it later. I will temporarily control the family fund."

"But even with the establishment of a family fund, our crisis has not been resolved."

"We only own 21.7% of the equity, which means that we still own 78.3% of the equity outside. No matter which side of Mitsui Securities Co. or Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. gets 3%. At 13.4, our control over the company will be out of control."

"By then, our current company management system and board structure will be easily changed."

"The best way is to increase our family's shareholding ratio in the company to more than 33.4%. With a veto, we can gain a firm foothold."

As soon as Torii Keizo finished speaking, Shinichiro Torii, who was sitting on his left, couldn't help but utter a voice.

"Uncle, the family should not be able to raise so much money."

“Now the company’s stock price has broken through one thousand yen and continues to soar. The competition between Mitsui Securities Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. has just been exposed, which means it has just begun. According to previous cases, the stock price It is very possible to increase several times."

"Conservative assumptions. We increase our shareholding ratio to the target line at a price of 2,000 yen per share. We also need to buy 49 million shares, which would cost 98 billion yen. The amount of money is too huge!"

"And this is just a conservative assumption!"

"The most valuable of our family is the equity of Suntory. At other times, when we need funds, we can use equity to go to the bank for mortgage loans, but now we absolutely dare not and cannot do so. Apart from equity, where else can we raise funds? "

Shinichiro Torii looked at his uncle Keizo Torii seriously, and pointed out the biggest problem.

Others nodded, agreeing with Torii Shinichiro's point of view.

For a while, the atmosphere in the chamber was stagnant again...
