In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

"In that case, Mr. Lin, why don't we just be direct and name your price? All sales are negotiated. If you don't tell us your desired price, it will be difficult for us to continue the discussion. Investing in any industry is an investment, right?
Although Toyota has a bright future prospect, other industries are also worth investing in. I believe that it will not be difficult for you, Mr. Lin, to cash out your Toyota shares. After all, the flow of funds can create greater value.

It doesn't matter who we sell to. As the largest conglomerate in Japan, Mitsubishi has the most extensive resources and influence in Japan. Mr. Lin's position in Hong Kong is somewhat similar to that of Mitsubishi in Japan. The purchase and sale of Toyota Motor shares is only a preliminary cooperation.

I believe that Mr. Lin and our Mitsubishi will have more cross-regional cooperation in the future. A smooth cooperation will be the key to opening our long-term friendly relationship.

In addition, regarding the shares of Toyota Motor, I suggest that Mr. Lin make a decision as soon as possible, because from the situation last night, Mr. Lin should also understand that there are many consortiums that want to obtain the shares in Mr. Lin's hands.

Although you can wait for a better price, the longer you delay, the more people you will offend. At this point, you have to sell your Toyota shares even if you don't want to.

Unless you, Mr. Lin, do not plan to develop in Japan, they may be helpless against you. But judging from Mr. Lin's investment situation, I believe you hope to make a big splash in the Japanese market, so my suggestion is to cut the Gordian knot.

Before anyone could react, they sold their shares. In this case, there is nothing anyone can do. After all, they didn't make an offer to you last night!"

Sancun Yongping was not angry at Lin Haoran's refusal. Instead, he seemed to have expected Lin Haoran's reaction. He said a lot in one breath and persuaded him with a smile.

After all, business is not that simple.
In response to Sancun Yongping's question, Lin Haoran remained silent.

To be honest, Lin Haoran really had no idea what price he should offer.

At first, he secretly asked Citibank to acquire shares of Toyota Motor. His ultimate goal was to increase the stock price by 30 or 40 points, which would satisfy him.

But now, compared with the cost of his investment, the stock price has almost doubled.

So, in fact, the current stock price has far exceeded his expectations.

Now, the wild rise in Toyota's stock price has made him a little conflicted.

He has to sell it, of course he has to sell it. After all, the reason he invested in Toyota is essentially because he is currently short of money.

And only if he sells it as soon as possible, he can show his talents in Japan.

In addition, what Mimura Yohei said is also right. As the largest conglomerate in Japan, the Mitsubishi Group has the most powerful connections and resources.

If Lin Haoran can establish good relations with them, it will indeed help his industries gain a foothold in Japan.

At the same time, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to offend others, especially the Mitsui and Sumitomo Groups, when everyone is bidding.

The former is the consortium that owns the largest number of shares in Toyota Motor Corporation besides the Toyota family and him.

The latter is one of the four major conglomerates that is determined to surpass the Mitsui Group.

At this moment, Lin Haoran fell into deep thought.

Sancun Yongping did not disturb Lin Haoran and drank his tea by himself.

He really thought that Lin Haoran's purpose of acquiring Toyota Motor shares was to hold Toyota Motor shares for a long time or even to acquire Toyota Motor.

So, to be honest, Sancun Yongping was not very sure whether he could convince Lin Haoran and finally make the deal.

Use Mitsubishi Group's status as Japan's largest financial group to suppress the other party?
Sancun Yongping naturally knew that this would definitely not work.

If the other party is just an ordinary businessman, it would be fine.

But the other party's wealth is among the best in the world. The wealth of one person is enough to rival that of a top Japanese conglomerate.

Although the assets certainly cannot be compared with those of the Mitsubishi Group, the most important thing is that these are the assets of one person, while many of the assets held by the Mitsubishi Group are actually just controlling shares. Moreover, the group and the individual are completely different. Their Mitsubishi Group is actually composed of multiple forces.

And Yamada Keiko, the personal secretary, didn't even dare to say a word in this situation, she just kept pouring tea for the two of them.

Who would have thought that the most powerful business tycoon in Japan, the head of the Mitsubishi Group, would be so humble and cautious in front of his boss. This made Keiko Yamada's evaluation of her boss rise a little bit.

Lin Haoran was deep in thought, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the desk, making a rhythmic sound.

After a long time, Lin Haoran suddenly raised his head and said to Mimura Yongping: "President Mimura, indeed, I originally planned to hold Toyota Motor shares for a long time, and the purpose was to obtain more benefits. In the final analysis, everything is for making money. Therefore, as long as the price is right, selling early or late does not make much difference to me. In this case, I will directly make a price. The Toyota Motor shares in my hand are valued at 600 billion yen. What do you think?

I'm not asking for too much. Just ten minutes ago, Toyota's total market value reached 28700 billion yen. If calculated based on the real-time market price, my 20% stake is equivalent to 5740 billion yen. I believe President Mimura should know this. With Toyota's development potential, I don't think it will take long for its market value to exceed trillion yen!"

The bid of 20 billion yen for % of Toyota Motor's shares directly increased Toyota Motor's total market value to trillion yen.

Just now, Lin Haoran knew that Toyota's market value was still around 28700 billion yen. With Toyota's current huge size, if it increases by about 4.5%, it will basically exceed trillion yen.

Is it outrageous? Lin Haoran didn't think the offer was outrageous.

After all, it is the other party who is begging him to buy, not him begging to sell!

Hearing Lin Haoran's words, Sancun Yongping frowned. The other party's offer was obviously beyond his expectations.

600 billion yen, 20 to 30 billion yen more than his psychological price.

"Mr. Lin, although the share prices of major automakers did continue to rise this afternoon, I think Toyota's share price has risen enough in the past few days. Even if it continues to rise, it may continue to rise too much. Once investors become more rational, the share price will definitely continue to fall.

Mr. Lin, how about we all make concessions and offer 5800 billion yen? As long as you agree, I can sign a transaction contract with you immediately on behalf of the Mitsubishi Group!" Mimura Yongping said directly.

Twenty billion yen is a sum of money that can be taken out at any time for Japan's most powerful conglomerate like the Mitsubishi Group, but it is not a small amount, so they will naturally try to save wherever possible.

Toyota Motors will definitely rise in the long run, but to be honest, Lin Haoran is not sure when the total market value will eventually break through 3 trillion yen, and whether it will be a short-term or long-term process.

So, he was a little hesitant.

However, Lin Haoran quickly realized that the initiative was in his hands and their roles should not be reversed.

Twenty billion more or twenty billion less would involve considerable interests to him.

After all, this is almost 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

If he could earn an extra 500 million Hong Kong dollars, he would definitely hope to earn an extra 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Your attitude must be firm. How can you let the other party be convinced easily?

What's more, he thought the price he offered was not outrageous.

Thinking of this, Lin Haoran shook his head slightly and said firmly: "President Mimura, I don't think my offer is excessive. Look at the current situation. The world is in the midst of an oil crisis, but Toyota's export volume last year still maintained an upward trend.

The actual impact of the US sanctions on Japan today is far less serious than imagined. What's more, as long as Toyota transfers part of its production capacity to the United States, there will basically be no big difference between imposing sanctions and not imposing sanctions.

This means that Toyota's upward momentum is a foregone conclusion, and its stock price will only continue to rise. I wonder, is Toyota really not worth 3 trillion yen?
In my opinion, its value is far more than this number, and it can even be higher! I know that you, the Mitsubishi Group, may find this price unacceptable, but I believe that one of the Sumitomo Group or the Mitsui Group will definitely be willing to pay this price.

Therefore, I don't think I am asking for an exorbitant price. This is a very reasonable price. If you can't even offer this price, then I think it is in my interest to continue holding the shares for a long time.

Of course, as you just said, if I really intend to sell my shares, I would prefer to cooperate with your Mitsubishi Group! The premise is that you accept my reasonable offer, and this price is my bottom line.

If President Mimura is not satisfied with this offer, you can think about it more, or even go back to discuss it again. Don't worry, if I really reach a deal with Sumitomo Group or Mitsui Group, I will definitely tell you in advance!

In addition, this price is also the current price. If we fail to reach an agreement within a short period of time, the negotiated price will also change with the market price. If President Mimura believes that Toyota's stock price will fall in the future, you can also wait!"

Upon hearing this, Sancun Yongping was speechless. This was not a negotiation at all, it was simply a fixed price.

However, he did not speak immediately, but was thinking about how to continue the conversation.

"Please change me a cup of hot tea." Lin Haoran poured out the tea in his hand that had long lost its temperature, turned around and said to Yamada Keiko.

"Okay, boss!" Yamada Keiko responded and began to brew the new tea with skillful techniques. After a while, a cup of fragrant tea with curling hot steam was placed in front of Lin Haoran. (End of this chapter)
