In less than three days, SoftBank announced that Masao Kameda, director, president and CEO of Fengyu Holdings Group, had become a member of the board of directors of SoftBank Group. This news caused the share prices of many listed subsidiaries of SoftBank to soar that day.
Feng Yu couldn't help but wonder, is Sun Zhengyi's purpose just that simple? Through Masao Kameda, let Softbank have a relationship with Feng Yu, thereby stimulating an increase in the stock price of his company
But the other party is Sun Zhengyi, known as the world's number one IT investor. Things shouldn't be that simple, right
Soon, Feng Yu knew what was going on. Sun Zhengyi, or other shareholders of SoftBank, indeed had a deeper purpose.
"What are you talking about? Yahu Huaxia wants to join forces with Guge to open up the Chinese market?"
Yahoo, once the world's number one portal, a giant, an oligarch among portals. It was precisely because Yahu expanded too fast that it formed a monopoly and was forced to split up, forming multiple companies.
Yahu Huaxia is one of them.
At this time, Yahu China shared most of the market with Xinlang, NetEase, Nahu, etc. in terms of portal websites, and Yahu China's market resources were the largest.
Whether it is news, mailboxes, forums or other portal products, Yahoo's market share is among the best. But this is not enough. Sun Zhengyi and others hope that Yahu will become the No.1 portal website in the Chinese market, or the No.1 website of all websites.
SoftBank is one of the major shareholders of Yahoo, and Yahoo is also one of the most successful Internet companies invested by Softbank, with a peak profit return rate of more than 100 times.
However, with the Internet bubble, Yahu's market value has shrunk a lot, but SoftBank still made a lot of money. However, most of the IT-related companies that SoftBank originally planned to invest in China were snatched away by Feng Yu, and some were mixed up.
Several of the companies that had finally invested had hit the dot-com bubble before they had even gone public, and their listings had been put on hold indefinitely. Some companies were acquired, and he was still able to earn back some of his capital, while some companies simply went bankrupt, causing SoftBank to lose a lot.
What makes Sun Zhengyi and others most distressed is that Xinlang, NetEase, Nahu and other portals that he was optimistic about at the beginning are now developing well. Not only have they made a fortune by being listed in the United States, but they have also been listed in Hong Kong after being delisted. The stock prices It’s also rising all the way.
If these companies had been invested by Soft Bank, Soft Bank's market value would have increased a lot, and his personal assets would have also increased a lot.
More importantly, China's portals will all belong to their software companies. At least they will be greatly influenced by the software companies. There will be no competition between Yahu and these websites, thus affecting their respective revenue.
Sun Zhengyi, or Soft Bank, has always planned to fight Feng Yu again. Didn't Feng Yu invest in those portals? We will let Yahoo China trample all those websites underfoot.
It's not enough that Yahu's business is number one. What he wants is that Yahu's business should be number one. If he controls the market, he can make more profits.
Moreover, most of China's traditional propaganda resources are in the hands of political leaders, and it is difficult for them to control some public opinions. But the Internet is different. Some of the above legal provisions are very vague. They can manipulate some speech to obtain certain economic benefits and even political benefits.
Based on the relationship between Fengyu Holdings Group and Taihua Holdings Group, they believe Kameda Masao should have such influence. And they gave many favorable conditions, such as selling some Yahu stocks to Kameda Masao, or improving the status of the Kameda family in the island country, etc.
There are also clothing brands from island countries that want to enter the Chinese market. They hope to cooperate with Taihua Supermarket Group. The previous cooperation request was rejected by Taihua Supermarket Group, so Kameda Masao is needed to help.
There are also many aspects such as computers, software, communications, etc. They all hope that Kameda Masao can help to completely open up the Chinese market and allow island products to occupy it.
Originally, Sun Zhengyi and others thought that Kameda Masao was from the island nation and must be of the same mind as them. Even if he starts to waver, Kameda Masao will agree, driven by interests.
But they didn't expect that Kameda Masao would be more loyal to Feng Yu. When Masao Kameda had nothing, no one from the island country helped him, but Feng Yu helped him. Moreover, Sun Zhengyi and others too underestimated the benefits Feng Yu gave Kameda Masao. Kameda Masao knew very well that once his subsidiaries were listed, he would be able to obtain more benefits.
So this time, Masao Kameda became Shima~taka!
Not only did he tell Feng Yu all about SoftBank's plans, but he also said that he could help the company understand more of SoftBank's trends. As for the improved status of the Kameda family in the island country, Masao Kameda is no longer in a hurry. He believed that Sun Zhengyi and others could never defeat Feng Yu.
Only then did Feng Yu understand that Softbank was going to use Kameda Masao's relationship to attack the Chinese market, and perhaps also had plans to attack the American market.
And Feng Yu didn't want to use Kameda Masao to get information from SoftBank and thus occupy Softbank's market.
Feng Yu called Wang Zhixi and the others and explained some things in detail. He also called Liu Chuanzhi and others to discuss China's electronic products and plans to enter the island country market.
Originally, the island country market was very difficult to enter. Even for European and American electronic products, it was very difficult to enter the island country market. Because in the field of consumer electronics, the island country is already one of the best in the world, and can even be said to be the strongest in the world overall.
In his previous life, when he even wanted to become the world's PC boss, his share in the island country was very low. There is another market where the same is true, and that is South Korea.
This time, Feng Yu just didn't believe it. People in the island country already knew that AIWA was owned by Fengyu Holdings Group, but AIWA wasn't the number one brand of music electronic products. It also had the number one market share in the island country.
Since AIWA can do it, Lianxiang, Fengyu Pai, etc. can also do it. Finally, Feng Yu can also let AIWA enter the Japanese market. Originally, AIWA is the Chinese transliteration trademark of AIWA.
Doesn't Soft Bank want to attack the Chinese market? So Feng Yu will first attack the island country market, and then attack other regional markets occupied by Soft Bank to see who is the final winner.
Sun Zhengyi and others are still dreaming of occupying the Chinese market and defeating Feng Yu, but they don't know that a plan against their soft bank is also quietly going on.
Softbank, the world's top investment company, will suffer a major blow because of this incident. And these things are inseparable from the external independent director Kameda Masao they hired with great pains.
