Technology company, I will become the light of China!

[Lansted Bos] (Germany): "It is totally unimaginable that the Toyota Group would be caught in the vortex of forced takeover!"

[Elvidin Miller] (France): "If Toyota Group collapses, the era of fuel-powered cars may really come to an end. Longxing Group's move is really ruthless!"

[Sawada Keita] (Japanese): "Damn Chen Xing, you are so cunning. Your methods are really shameful. We will never admit that Toyota Group has been acquired!"

[Liviu Gerard] (US): "This is a textbook forced takeover campaign. It perfectly avoids takeover warnings and poison pill plans. How much more does Chen Xing have to reveal?"

As time goes by, more and more netizens around the world have learned about the acquisition and expressed their opinions on online platforms.

This is the first forced acquisition of a trillion-dollar company in history.

In the past, if you wanted to acquire a company, you would either sit down and negotiate, or secretly disrupt the company's capital chain and then sit down and negotiate.

It is not difficult to see that sitting down and talking is the conventional route for acquiring a company.

But what about Chen Xing?

It is a completely unconventional approach, directly collecting shares and forcibly gaining control.

Although this method is feasible in theory, because after a company goes public it is no longer a private enterprise but a public enterprise, and whoever owns the most shares has control, there are very few successful examples of forced acquisitions, let alone the Toyota Group, which is one of the Fortune 500 companies.

The fight between the two super companies is a hundred times more explosive than news of cheating or one-night stands, and it has also attracted the attention of netizens around the world.

Of course.

Not only netizens, but more importantly, corporate CEOs.

Far away at Apple's headquarters in Silicon Valley, when Ku Ke saw the news content, he thought he was dazzled, or that it was a story made up by some stupid marketing account.

However, the authenticity of this matter has been confirmed through multiple confirmations.

He was completely confused.

Is this still the Longxing Group we remember?

Two years ago, Chen Xing and him were still fighting back and forth, but now they have actually begun to swallow up trillion-level enterprises. Isn’t the development speed of Longxing Group too fast?

Ku Ke felt desperate.

I thought the launch of iPhone 9 would help him regain his position, but now it seems that others are far ahead of him.

It wasn't just Kuk, all the CEOs of technology companies in Silicon Valley fell silent.

The Longxing Group is like a dark cloud hanging over the Silicon Valley, making them feel dark and fearful.

After struggling for a long time, Masike finally made up his mind after seeing the overwhelming news content.

Tesla no longer has any chance of recovery.

This is not only due to the pressure from Longxing Group, but also due to Chen Xing's instigation behind the scenes, which makes Tesla Model S completely without any advantage in the automobile market.

When it comes to technology, Tesla can't compare.

In terms of volume price, Tesla still can’t compare.

Faced with this situation, Masik has been reflecting for dozens of days and nights. It seems that there is only one way left for him, that is to sell Tesla's super car factory in Shanghai to Longxing Group to repay the debt of the "betting contract" signed with Shanghai, and then completely withdraw from the market.

But he was really unwilling to accept that after years of planning, he ended up losing both his wife and his army.

He also tried to mobilize funds during this period, thinking of making a desperate move, but the news of Toyota Group's forcible acquisition disrupted his plans and dampened his spirits.

The Toyota Group was forcibly acquired, so there is no way we can fight this battle!
Whether they were former opponents or current opponents, they all felt fear the moment they saw the news.

Trillion-dollar groups have been forcibly acquired, and if any small fish or shrimp dare to make trouble again, they will inevitably suffer the same fate.

The CEOs of Taiwan's enterprises such as TSMC and MediaTek have also put away their little thoughts. The current Longxing Group really cannot be provoked.

……

The island nation of Tokyo.

The capital's meeting hall.

After learning that something had happened at the Toyota Group, an emergency high-level meeting was held.

As soon as everyone arrived, a man with a face full of flesh and narrowed eyes asked, "Miyazaki Yu, you must give us an explanation. Why did you resell the shares of Toyota Group for the second time? What is your intention?"

All of a sudden.

All eyes in the conference room were focused on Miyazaki Yu.

"The Miyazaki family might be the traitor. If they hadn't transferred their shares, Longxing Group wouldn't have been able to collect 51% of the shares."

"It must be them!"

"Damn you Miyazaki Yu, you betrayed our Oshima Empire!"

"Death penalty, nothing to say!"

“I support the death penalty!”

Some people talked in a low voice, some deliberately raised their voices, some had their eyes wide open with veins bulging, and some were like poisonous snakes with cold expressions.

Since Miyazaki Yu dared to come, he had made all the preparations.

He slowly stood up, took out a document and said, "I am heartbroken that the Toyota Group was forcibly acquired, because this is a loss for our Oshima Empire."

"but!"

Suddenly, he changed the subject, his originally sad eyes became sharp, and he glanced at everyone present and said, "You are putting the blame on me for this matter, I absolutely do not admit it!"

"This document records in detail the entire process of how upper-class families such as Hirakawa, Watanabe, and Ohinchi transferred shares of listed groups to Wall Street institutions and profited from them."

"I don't mean to target anyone. I just want to say that it is very common to make profits through secondary transfers. If someone wants to make a big deal out of it, they can just produce evidence. Otherwise..."

Miyazaki snorted coldly and said fearlessly, "Otherwise, let's put it this way. Anyone who has used the shares of a listed group for secondary arbitrage will be executed along with me."

"..."

As soon as the words were spoken, some people could no longer sit still.

"Miyazaki Yu, don't be impulsive. In fact, transfer arbitrage is a very common thing. If you want to blame someone, just blame Chen Xing for being too cunning!"

"That's right, it's all because of that damn Chen Xing. He took advantage of our loopholes."

"I think Miyazaki Yu has been wrongly accused. We can't wrongly accuse someone without any evidence!"

"You're right. We need evidence for everything."

Miyazaki Yu looked at the congressmen who spoke up for him. There were many of his archenemies among them, and now these people were visibly panicked.

Are they trying to help Miyazaki Yu?
Do not!
Theirs for themselves.

Because of secondary arbitrage of shares, they have done a lot of selling Japanese companies' shares to Wall Street, and everyone has made a lot of money.

Now Miyazaki Yu proposes the death penalty for everyone, that's nonsense!

"Cough cough."

Two dry coughs were heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

The person who was coughing was none other than Hideki Kamioka, the Speaker of the island's cabinet.

Perhaps it was due to the heavy workload and lack of rest, but Hideki Kamioka looked like he was seventy, even though he was not yet sixty years old. Especially the big bags under his eyes and the nasolabial folds, which made him look much older.

"Everything depends on evidence. Whether the Miyazaki family has colluded with the Longxing Group requires further investigation. Miyazaki Xiong, do you have any objection?"

"No."

Miyazaki Yu stood up straight, with an attitude of being upright and not afraid of his own shadow.

Kamioka Hideki looked him up and down, then waved his hand and said, "Then you can sit down first. This meeting is not an accountability meeting, but a meeting to solve problems."

Miyazaki Yu nodded slightly and sat down silently.

No one else cares whether it was the collusion between the Miyazaki family and Chen Xing that led to the Toyota Group being in the embarrassing situation of forced acquisition, because the water has been muddied, and if it is really investigated, a large number of people will be brought down.

"Longxing Group is going to take over Toyota Group. I guess they are here for the industrial system. Do you have any good ideas?"

Hideki Kamioka asked.

The most powerful thing about Toyota Group is not its cars, but its own industrial system.

If Toyota Group's industrial system and patented technology were all controlled by other countries, no one could predict how terrifying the Eastern power would be.

You know, the West has always prevented the latter from participating in high-end technological research because it is afraid of the latter's strength.

For a long time, it has been playing the role of a mid-to-low-end OEM factory.

But it is also because of this that the mid- and low-end industries have formed a complete industrial chain, and it is also the only super industrial power in the world with a full-category industrial chain.

In contrast, the United States' industrial base has become extremely weak because it only retains high-profit industries such as finance and education.

To make an analogy, it is equivalent to laying a solid foundation, but it is still an unfinished house without fine decoration. In the United States, the foundation has sunk, but the building is a luxury villa.

In the short term, the United States is certainly thriving, but in the long run, their weak industrial base is their fatal weakness.

If Toyota Group is really controlled by Longzi this time, this rough industrial building will undergo an epic renovation, which is what the West, Japan and South Korea all hope to see.

"The other party has already posted a picture of their shareholdings. There is no point in making a fuss about the share ratio. The only way now is to deny it." Miyazaki Yu gave a solution.

"Why don't you admit it?"

Hideki Kamioka asked.

Everyone in the conference room looked at Miyazaki Yu. His current behavior did not show any signs of collusion with Chen Xingyou.

"It's very simple." Miyazaki smiled calmly and expressed his opinion: "Let's use the hostile takeover and poison pill plan as an example, and then we will seize the time to transfer the core technology."

"it is good!"

"This is a good idea!"

Hideki Kamioka gave him an appreciative look.

Not only Hideki Kamioka, but other councillors all nodded.

"That's right, let's do it!" "We have a legitimate reason to do such a shameful thing as a hostile takeover!"

"You're right!"

Everyone agreed.

However, what they didn't know was that although the solution provided by Miyazaki could temporarily solve the problem, it destroyed the spirit of the contract.

In addition, companies such as Penguin and Alibaba all have island country capital, and this move will undoubtedly cause the situation to get out of control.

Furthermore, don’t forget that the Vostok intercontinental missile has just been launched.

No one present was aware of Miyazaki Yu's thoughts, because at the moment the only solution that would work was to deny it.

What if you say you want to launch a poison pill plan?
Their shareholding does not exceed 5%, let alone the 15% that triggers the conditions!

To take a step back, even if you announce the launch, it is too late now because the global announcement is very clear.

First, Nishikawa Takahiro must be removed from all company positions and demoted to an ordinary employee.

Second, the original board of directors of Toyota Group must be dissolved immediately, and all the original board members must be removed from their positions and all their rights must be confiscated.

Third, all company charters and systems formulated by the original board of directors of the Toyota Group must be abolished.

Based on the first three points alone, Toyota Group's "poison pill plan" has become ineffective, and it is currently in a state of disarray.

What can they do now?
The only thing I can do is to deny it!
After discussing the details for another ten minutes, Hideki Ueoka asked his secretary to notify everyone and ask them to write a global manuscript for external release.

……

Half an hour later.

The island nation issued an official statement.

[Solemn Statement]
[After investigation, Longxing International Investment Fund, a wholly-owned investment company under Longxing Group, bypassed our acquisition supervision through improper means and maliciously collected Toyota Group stocks through multiple channels. After multiple discussions and confirmations, the rights to the stocks have been invalidated, but they can be circulated normally.]
The fewer words in the announcement, the more serious the matter.

Although the island nation does not recognize stock rights, it recognizes value.

After all, this is bought with real money. If it is completely abolished, who would dare to buy Nikkei 225 stocks?
You know, even Indians don’t have this ability!
The island nation’s global announcement immediately caused an uproar around the world.

[Komine Hiroyuki] (Japanese): "Great job! This must be a hostile takeover. We definitely cannot admit it. Toyota Group can only be a company of our Oshima Empire. We must not give it up to anyone else!"

[Cameron Oroko] (Germany): "I've learned something from this operation."

[Anderson Myers] (M): "I thought we Americans were pretty shameless, but I didn't expect you islanders to be even more shameless, hahahaha!"

[Park Ji-hyun] (Korean): "Ah, this little bastard is just as he said. He knows small etiquette but not great righteousness, he is particular about small matters but not great virtue, he values ​​small matters but not integrity, he fears power but not virtue, the strong will be robbers and bandits, the weak will be submissive.

Not only were netizens discussing this, the entire Internet was going wild, with related terms appearing on Weibo’s hot search list.

When you click on the entry "Island Country Does Not Recognize Acquisition", what comes into view is thousands of netizens who are filled with righteous indignation and wish they could fly over and tear the Japanese apart to vent their anger.

[Xiao Ba does not eat coriander]: "Too shameless, not recognizing the rights of stocks, recognizing the value of stocks, which shows that they already know that Longxing Group holds 51% of Toyota Group's shares!"

[Brother Long in Tokyo]: "I am so angry, I am so angry, I wrote a letter in blood asking the motherland to lock my position and feed two intercontinental missiles to this little bastard to satisfy his craving!"

[Blood Charming]: "Equal revenge, equal revenge must be carried out!"

While netizens at home and abroad were discussing the news, Chen Xing, Li Daxiao, Yang Delong and others also learned that the island country did not recognize the stock news, which undoubtedly poured cold water on them.

"God damn it little bastard!"

"How can we still do this? Doesn't that mean we've worked in vain?"

"What should Mr. Chen do now?"

Everyone looked at Chen Xing. The situation was now beyond their control.

The island country’s officials have personally issued a statement denying it. They can’t possibly issue a statement of protest, as that would be too presumptuous.

Faced with such a thorny problem, Chen Xing took a deep breath and then said heavily, "You have been busy for so long, go back and rest first, I will ask someone."

Li Daxiao, Yang Delong and others looked at each other and could only respond because they had no ability to solve the problem at all.

Chen Xing frowned and went straight back to his office.

After working in secret for so long, he would never allow the island country to cheat.

Special things can only be treated specially. The first thing Chen Xing did when he returned to the office was to take out his cell phone and look for Wang Shan’s phone number.

He dialed the number without hesitation.

[Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later...]
When the phone notification sounded, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care. It was normal for Wang Shan to be busy.

After waiting for about five minutes, Chen Xing called Wang Shan again.

"Dududu-"

This time there was no call prompt, but instead the normal waiting busy tone was entered.

About three seconds later, the call was connected.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Chen. I was just talking about you with Xiao Zhao."

The Xiao Zhao that Wang Shan mentioned was Zhao Chenguang, the head of the shadow intelligence department. Chen Xing knew this.

"So, you were talking on the phone with Chief Zhao just now. It seems that you already know why I came here." Chen Xing speculated in a humble tone.

"Yes, I know everything." Wang Shan did not deny it. He nodded to confirm and said with a sharp tone, "Since he won't take the soft approach, then let's give him a hard one."

Chen Xing: “Hard?”

"You'll know right away."

Wang Shan kept the question a secret, then he changed the subject and said, "But then again, you really like to do big things quietly, and you actually want to forcefully acquire the Toyota Group."

"The main reason is that we are in great need of production equipment. It just so happens that Toyota Group has a very complete industrial system and high-precision machine tool manufacturing technology, so I thought about whether I could get it. I didn't expect that the island country would not recognize the right to stock."

Chen Xing sighed.

Because of the impact of new energy vehicles on the automotive industry, even German companies that had just entered the "honeymoon period" were unwilling to provide equipment to Longxing Group. He could only prepare for the future and plan this forced acquisition.

If Longxing Group really takes over Toyota Group, not only will it not have to worry about production equipment, but it will also be able to take the opportunity to carry out industrial upgrades, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Xing thought about engaging in verbal battle with Toyota Group, but he never expected that the other party would directly come up with a trump card and issue an official statement clearly denying it.

"It's okay. You've done a good job. What's yours is yours. Just wait and see what happens next."

Wang Shan continued to keep the secret.

……

Night falls and the stars are shining.

Three hours had passed. Since the island country did not recognize Longxing Group's rights to Toyota Group shares, Chen Xing did not convene another online board meeting.

He is waiting now.

He was waiting for Wang Shan's move.

Several hours passed, and the acquisition of Longxing Group and Toyota Group was still active on the global Internet.

Some people criticized Longxing Group for malicious acquisition and unfair competition.

Some people accused the island country's top leaders of breaking the rules and arbitrarily denying stock rights.

In fact, the top leaders of the island country are also very panicked. They have been waiting anxiously for several hours and are still extremely calm.

Calmness is often the precursor to a storm.

Finally there is news.

In order to further improve the level of national defense and military modernization, enhance the joint combat capabilities of the two armies, and ensure national security and territorial integrity, the Northern Theater Command and the Eastern Theater Command are scheduled to hold a joint military exercise in the designated area from March 2016 to April 3, 23. The relevant matters are hereby announced as follows:

1. Purpose of the Exercise: This joint exercise aims to test and enhance the command and control capabilities, rapid response capabilities, joint combat capabilities and logistical support capabilities of the two militaries through actual combat training, so as to ensure that they can effectively respond to various security challenges and safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests in a complex and changing international security environment.

2. The exercise locations include multiple sea areas and coastal cities.

3. Exercise content: The exercise content covers joint operations of multiple military services such as land, sea and air, including but not limited to live-fire shooting, tactical drills, information operations, logistics support, simulated nuclear weapons tests, etc., aiming to comprehensively test and enhance the effectiveness of the joint combat system of the two armies.

During the exercise, temporary traffic control and air control will be implemented in relevant areas. Please plan your travel routes in advance to avoid inconvenience caused by the exercise.

We welcome the attention and support of all sectors of society for this exercise. At the same time, we also welcome the public to provide valuable opinions and suggestions through formal channels. ]
When the announcement of the military exercise between the two armies was issued, the entire Internet exploded and countless military bloggers were excited.

[Military King]: "Wow, wow, wow, a military-level confrontation exercise, this is rare!"

[Blood Wolf Fang]: "Ahem, a military-level confrontation involving a simulated nuclear weapons project. Could this be the start of an island nation?"

[Son of Light]: "As expected, our mother is not someone who can be easily bullied. A military-level confrontation is even rarer than an intercontinental missile test. Some people are going to have sleepless nights over this!"

Just as netizens said, the whole world was shocked when the acting announcement was made. They did not forget that they had just successfully tested an intercontinental missile.

Less than ten minutes after the announcement of the exercise, the Fengtian Military Region issued a map of the test launch landing points of the intercontinental missile. The nearest landing point was only 351 nautical miles away from the farthest territory of the island country, which was stuck in the territorial waters line of the extreme public waters.

As we all know, every country has its own territorial waters. Counting from the land area, anything beyond 350 nautical miles belongs to the public area and anyone can pass through.

The test launch point is 351 nautical miles away, and the warning meaning is very obvious.

When Saito Ii, Kamioka Hideki, and Miyazaki Yu saw the acting announcement, they were all stunned. The latter even booked a plane ticket and decided to run away first.

Hideki Kamioka was trembling with fear. He knew very well that they had indeed acted unfairly this time.

Saito I and Miyazaki Yu had the same idea, which was to run away as a sign of respect.

Who knows what the idea is.

Who knows if this is a real drill or a fake one? Saving lives is what matters.

Just as the island nation sounded the alarm and the stationed U.S. soldiers trembled, the Foreign Investment Administration issued an announcement.

[Solemn Statement]
[After investigation, it was found that the international investment funds under the Japanese SoftBank Group and Keyence Group bypassed our acquisition supervision through improper means and maliciously invested in Penguin, Alibaba, Baidu, Sohu through multiple channels...

After much discussion and negotiation, all the shares held by the company have been invalidated, and SoftBank Group and Keyence need to pay the dividends earned in the past ten years. If overdue, a late payment fee will be charged.]
The same format, the same abolition of stocks, but unlike the island country, this article also requires the payment of dividends.

When Hideki Kamioka and Ito Saito saw the announcement from the Foreign Investment Administration, they felt dizzy. Not only was it abolished, but they also had to pay dividends. Is there any law in this? ? ?
