Feng Yu didn't know that Sunny and the others were studying the matter of forming an alliance, but Kameda Masao sent back the news that Sun Zhengyi rejected their conditions and insisted on a 19% share, so the cooperation was considered to have collapsed.
But Feng Yu didn't care about this. Although there were many software companies under SoftBank, none of them were irreplaceable. Even Microsoft products can be replaced, not to mention some less important software.
At the same time, Masao Kameda told Feng Yu another important news. Since Fengyu Holdings Group released the news that it was interested in investing in the shipyard, many shipbuilding companies have contacted Fengyu Holdings, hoping that Fengyu Holdings can take a stake.
These include large shipyards that manufacture cruise ships, as well as shipyards that manufacture small yachts, but without exception, they all only hope that Fengyu Holdings Group will participate in the shares, and even the shareholding ratio is preferably not high. No one is willing to give more than three One-third of the shares.
Feng Yu would never consider less than one-third. Feng Yu originally wanted to have absolute control or even sole proprietorship. Since that is not possible, then it is okay for the equity to exceed 50%, or at least more than one-third, right
If you hold more than two-thirds of the equity of a company, you are the absolute controlling party and can make direct decisions on operations regardless of the opinions of other shareholders.
Although those shipbuilding companies no longer have absolute controlling shareholders after selling part of their equity to Feng Yu, the hidden dangers are still there, and Feng Yu has to guard against them.
Even one third of Feng Yu is not satisfied, let alone less. When the profits from the financial market are recovered next year, will he be short of money
And as China's economy gets better and better, coastal development is also getting faster and faster, especially the coastal tourism industry, which is very developed. Many inland people like to go to the seaside to play or even settle down.
Some coastal cities have launched the slogan of sea-view housing. In many cities, so-called sea-view housing can even drive huge GDP growth every year.
As there are more and more wealthy people in the Mainland, it is not very strange to keep a yacht like those in movies and TV shows. China's yacht industry is on the rise.
In fact, the yacht industry around the world has been developing very well in recent years, because the global economy has been very good in recent years. Yacht manufacturing companies in Europe and the United States are receiving orders one after another.
However, due to the economic downturn caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, many yacht orders this year have been cancelled, and next year will be even more bleak.
This has caused the profits of many yacht companies to plummet, and at the same time, labor costs and other costs continue to increase, causing a serious decline in the profits of these yacht companies.
Feng Yu originally planned to acquire a large shipbuilding company, and then one or two small yacht brands, which would be enough.
But after Feng Yu made arrangements, he realized that almost all of the world's top large-scale shipbuilding companies are in Asia, and Europe and the United States are not ranked at all.
You said that the military in Europe and the United States is so strong, why is the shipbuilding industry so weak
First of all, Russia, the United States and other high-end military equipment have already been completed, and they are much ahead of China. They mainly do technology research and development, but they don't do much mass production. The old models from before are enough to ensure that they lead the world.
Secondly, island countries, South Korea and China are all vigorously developing ocean-going business, and the demand for cruise ships is growing faster, and these are also military-civilian shipyards.
Among the top ten shipyards in the world, there are four from island countries, three from South Korea, two from China, one from the United States, and none from Europe. If we include the top twenty, there are also several companies from Southeast Asia, India, etc., so Asia or the Pacific Rim is the most developed region for large shipbuilding companies in the world.
However, many small shipyards in the United States have very good profitability. They only launch one or two best-selling ship models, which are like strategic products, which is enough to ensure that they have good profits.
Especially in terms of small ships, such as yachts, Europe and the United States are completely ahead of Asia. Island countries, South Korea and China are not ranked high, but there is one company in Nanyang that is still ranked high.
Therefore, the plan to acquire large shipyards was stopped by Feng Yu, and instead he acquired small yacht manufacturing companies. These European and American companies were leading the way.
After the acquisition, opening two shipyards in China will also open up the market here, so there should be no loss.
Ralph and others have done market assessments and believe that the probability of losing money is less than 1%, the probability of making money is more than 80%, and there is still a certain possibility of capital preservation.
That being the case, why not do it
As for acquiring shares in the port, this is still relatively difficult. Now that global trade is very developed, ports are like hens that can lay golden eggs, but few people are willing to sell them unless their businesses and industries encounter financial difficulties.
Feng Yu is very calm about this. He has not encountered any difficulties this year, but what about next year
The global economic situation will deteriorate sharply next year. In the past, many small shipyards suffered substantial losses next year.
Many port shareholders are also shareholders of shipyards. If they don’t sell this year, they may not sell next year.
Moreover, shipyards are different from automobile companies. What Feng Yu needs most is the other party's brand and technology, and then builds a factory in China. Therefore, Feng Yu doesn't care about those shipyards losing money or even factories closing down.
As long as the technology is good and the brand is not bad, it is worth acquiring.
Feng Yu told Kameda Masao that there was no rush in this matter and that we should talk about it slowly. Because he plans to really start spending money on acquisitions at the end of next year.
Since Feng Yu gave this order, Kameda Masao knew what to choose. Just like negotiating with a shared car, the longer you delay, the less money you will spend. If the other party is willing to sell technology now, then we can have a good talk.
Feng Yu began to communicate with his boss and make some preparations in advance. In this way, when the negotiations are completed, the shipyard can be built as soon as possible, and the framework of the shipyard can even be built first.
…
"Mr. Feng, what did you just say, that you want to invest in the shipyard?!" Commissioner Bao looked at Feng Yu with a strange look on his face. Why did Feng Yu suddenly want to invest in this
Feng Yu crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa: "What's wrong, what's so strange about this? Didn't I say that we just build some small yachts and fishing boats? In this regard, we are in a weak position in the world. The country Are investments not allowed?”
"This does not violate the regulations, but if you build fishing boats, can you make money by building yachts?" Commissioner Bao hesitated.
"You must have never understood how many yachts our country imports every year and how big the market is. Besides, I also lack a yacht. It would be more secure to find a shipyard and build it myself." Feng Yu said easily.
Commissioner Bao's eyes widened. Could it be that Feng Yu invested in a shipyard just to build a yacht that he was satisfied with? (To be continued.)
