Chapter 177 Overseas Acquisition(1/2)
After hearing Kamesaburo's inquiry, Kurosawa first picked up a cup of tea on the elegant square table and took a sip to moisten his throat that had become dry from talking on the phone. Kurosawa looked at the two people in the private room,
He smiled and said: "Chairman Akagi, I'm really sorry. Can you help Mr. Congressman arrange another private room? Today, Mr. Congressman wanted to drink alone in the room, so I can't see you two."
The corner of Kamesaburo's eyes suddenly twitched, and the hand pressing his knee tightened unconsciously. After waiting for so long, although the congressman finally went to the hotel, he actually chose not to see him, but to go to another place.
Opening a private room and dining alone is really a big deal.
Normally, Kamesaburo would have turned against him long ago. However, due to that man's overwhelming power, he had to endure it.
Kamesaburo lowered his head and clenched his teeth slightly. He had to control all his emotions in front of this big shot's secretary.
After Gao Song heard that the gentleman would not appear at today's dinner, he couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes suddenly became empty, as if his soul had been taken away. It was as if the opportunity to make a career was just around the corner.
Disappear, slip away from your eyes.
Kurosawa looked at the reactions of the two people in the room, and a classical Chinese sentence came to mind - "Everything in the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit." This secretary who followed the big shot had seen this before.
Countless people knelt down in order to please Mr. Congressman, and then showed resentful expressions after being unable to do so.
Kurosawa picked up the tea again and took a sip, and said with a faint smile, "However, Mr. Congressman already knows about the two of you. Although Mr. Congressman will not drink with you tonight, he has appointed me to come.
I specialize in handling the affairs of the two of you. Mr. Congressman is very concerned about the affairs of the Akagi Hotel."
Some words floated in the room, instantly igniting the atmosphere that had been silent just now."
Kamesaburo's mood hit rock bottom because of Kurosawa's words just now. Now that he heard these words, he suddenly raised his head again, "Okay! I will arrange another room for Mr. Congressman's room immediately. I guarantee it will be the best."
Kamesaburo quickly clapped his hands and said, "Get ready to serve! I will treat Secretary Kurosawa well today!"
Following the chairman's order, the waiters outside the private room immediately began to work nervously as if facing an enemy. There is a special kitchen on the 76th floor. After receiving the instructions to start the dinner, the chef immediately began to prepare sashimi and appetizers. The sharp
Using the kitchen knife, he immediately cut open the prepared silver pomfret fillets.
After a while, a waiter in a Japanese-style dress knelt down and placed a delicate pottery dish on the square table.
Today’s dinner is kaiseki cuisine prepared by a top chef in Tokyo.
Kaiseki cuisine is the most high-end cuisine in the East. It is a unique high-end cuisine banquet developed from the tea parties among the shoguns and samurai.
Each small plate was presented with exquisite sushi or sashimi. In addition to using the most high-end ingredients, the exquisiteness of the food on the plate has also reached its peak, with herbs, bamboo knots, and green leaves.
, silk ropes, etc., combined with exquisite cuisine and meals, look colorful and very attractive.
As Kurosawa picked up a piece of sashimi from the plate, dipped it in the mustard from the sauce plate next to it, put it in his mouth, and started chewing, the dinner finally officially began.
Kamesaburo waited for a long time, and by this time he could no longer bear his temper. Less than ten minutes after the dinner started, he hurriedly ended the polite conversation, but he saw him directly holding the sake glass with both hands, and bowed lightly, "
Regarding the foreign exchange approval matters for this overseas acquisition of the Akagi Hotel Group, I still need to trouble Mr. Congressman."
"Chairman, what are you talking about?" Kurosawa picked up the cup with his left hand and touched it lightly with the wine glass in front of him. "It is the glory of our Toyo hotel group to be able to go overseas. Mr. Congressman
, we will definitely provide our full support to the Akawood Hotel Group’s overseas acquisition.”
"I wonder how the chairman's overseas acquisition plan is arranged this time. Can you introduce it to me?" Kurosawa said with a faint smile.
Hearing that the other party was already asking for details, Kamesaburo felt that the matter could basically be settled today, "This time, our Akagi Hotel Group plans to acquire three Western hotels, namely the Roland Flower Hotel, the Arc de Triomphe Hotel, and the Beilun Hotel.
Island Hotel, three hotel group companies. It is estimated to cost US$700 million. The current acquisition plan has begun to be negotiated one after another. The domestic side has hired PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm and Miki Law Firm to assist in the acquisition."
"In terms of acquisitions, we pledge the liquidity under the bank's current account, borrow from banks, and conduct leveraged buyouts. The source of foreign exchange is currently Mizuho Bank." Kamesaburo looked at the president of the Takamatsu branch next to him.
"This acquisition of an overseas hotel group involves a cross-border transfer of nearly US$700 million. At present, we understand the concerns of the relevant parties in Toyo about cross-border capital flows, but we hope that Mr. Congressman can help." Kamesaburo once again expressed his gratitude.
A glass of wine and a toast.
"The chairman's plan is complete." The corners of Kurosawa's mouth turned up slightly, and he had another drink with Kamesaburo, and then looked at the ceiling of the private room faintly:
"The chairman must also know that the East Asian economy has been heating up recently, and in terms of trade and export figures, the surplus has been decreasing. Although our country has a large amount of foreign exchange reserves, the reduction in the surplus has attracted the attention of many high-level officials.
Therefore, the approval of foreign exchange outflows has become stricter, and I hope the chairman will understand."
"The chairman's overseas acquisitions are already complete, but there is still a little debt." Kurosawa said with a smile.
Owe... owe a little?
Kamesaburo didn't understand what Kurosawa meant for a while. His acquisition plan had been prepared for half a year, and he... still owed something. After thinking hard for a while, Kamesaburo raised his glass again.
"Please tell me, Mr. Kurosawa, what exactly is lacking in this plan."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "First of all, about the accounting firm." Kurosawa picked up a piece of sushi and put it in a bowl. "Since our Eastern hotel wants to go overseas, why should we hire a Western hotel?
Should an accounting firm be responsible for the acquisition? It would be better if our own people are responsible for the acquisition. In this regard, I can recommend Mizuno Accounting Firm to the chairman to be responsible for the acquisition."
"As for law firms, Miki Law Firm is certainly good. But I think the domestic Sakai Law Firm is more suitable for this area of business. I wonder what the chairman's intention is?" Kurosawa said with a smile.
In an instant, the accounting firms and law firms involved in the acquisition plan were replaced with new targets.
Kamesaburo was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks in his hands stopped in the air for a moment. Kamesaburo had never heard of the name Mizuno Accounting Firm. Although Sakai Law Firm is a first-class law firm, its fees are too expensive.
.
"Secretary Kurosawa, if the accounting firm and law firm are suddenly changed now, it may have an impact on the acquisition business." Kamesaburo raised his head and said.
"This is what the gentleman meant." Kurosawa's face was reflected in the sake glass, "Chairman, you also know. Such a large amount of foreign exchange is going out. If you are not familiar with the accounting firm and the law firm, you know everything about it.
When it comes to handling and approval, I don’t feel so reassured.”
Upon hearing this, Kamesaburo immediately understood what it meant and immediately said hello.
Obviously, the congressman is acting as a broker.
Invite your acquisition plan to his network for processing.
Kurosawa continued, "This time, Mr. Congressman was very encouraged after hearing about your acquisition plan. He plans to not only give you a US dollar quota of 700 million yuan, but also a foreign exchange quota of a full billion US dollars."
Kamesaburo raised his head in disbelief when he heard about one billion U.S. dollars. Originally, he expected that the congressman could contribute about half of the amount, about 400 million U.S. dollars, which would be very good. Unexpectedly, not only did he fully support the 700 million U.S. dollars
of foreign exchange, and an additional US$300 million was added.
Kamesaburo couldn't help but be so excited that his hands were trembling.
You know, foreign exchange approval quotas are now a scarce commodity in Japan.
Without corresponding foreign exchange quotas, you cannot transfer US dollars in Japan overseas.
Nowadays, I don’t know how many companies are waiting in queues for approval of foreign exchange quotas.
Even if you can't use so many foreign exchange quotas, you can definitely make a lot of money by selling these quotas on the black market.
This is going to make you rich, make you rich!!!
"It's just that Mr. Congressman made two requests." Kurosawa smiled. "On the one hand, it is about banks. We hope that this overseas acquisition can be carried out by Mizuho Bank and Eagle Flag Bank. After all, it is such a big company.
It is inappropriate for only one bank to handle a single transaction. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together."
Takamatsu, who was next to him, was a little surprised when he heard the words "Eagle Flag Bank" and immediately raised his head.
Eagle Flag Bank is a joint venture between East and West.
After its establishment, it gained momentum and made rapid progress, fighting its way through the banking industry. Eagle Flag Bank is currently considered the emerging bank most likely to challenge the traditional status of the six major Japanese banks.
Kurosawa then looked at Takamatsu, "President Takamatsu. The head office of Eagle Flag Bank has recently had a vacancy. You know, the talents they lack most now are those who understand the six major Japanese banks. President Takamatsu is in Mizuho.
The Tokyo branch of the bank has served as branch president for many years, and is a perfect match for their recruitment. If President Takamatsu can perform well in this acquisition, he can give Eagle Flag Bank that
If I leave a good impression on the people around me, I think there will be no problem with the position at Eagle Flag Head Office."
Hearing that Kurosawa called his name and actually wanted to go to Eagle Flag Bank, Takamatsu suddenly frowned and his whole face suddenly turned red due to the alcohol.
You must know that in the domestic financial world of Japan, the West is stronger than the East. However, in the banking world, it is an exception for the time being. At present, other industries such as securities, insurance, trusts, etc. have gradually been replaced by companies from the West.
They have been squeezed and occupied. There is no way, facing the hundreds of years of Western financial industry foundation, Eastern financial companies are no match at all.
And now, being able to transfer to the head office of Eagle Flag Bank is simply the right time.
Gao Song couldn't help but feel happy. There was no doubt that if he really went to Eagle Flag Bank, he would be able to have a bigger stage for his talents to be displayed.
It seems that today’s dinner party is indeed the right one.
Everyone said that as long as you get on the hook of this congressman, rapid success will no longer be a dream.
It seems that this is true.
This is real!!!
Takamatsu immediately raised the wine glass in his hand and bowed forward to pay respect to Kurosawa in front of him. This humble gesture was completely different from the way he scolded Shimada at the Shinjuku branch in the morning.
"But, there is a second condition." Kurosawa looked at Kamesaburo and continued to maintain a somewhat indifferent smile.
"Please tell me!" Kamesaburo looked high-spirited and held the wine glass, "Mr. Congressman can grant us a quota of one billion U.S. dollars. Just say that we, Akagi Hotel, will do our best to achieve it."
Kurosawa turned around, opened the brown briefcase he placed next to the square table, took out a piece of paper from it, handed it to Kamesaburo, and said: "As for the target of this overseas acquisition, Mr. Congressman believes that there are some
High-quality assets are worthy of including Akagi Hotel Group among the target companies for this overseas acquisition. I think the chairman will agree."
Kamesaburo took the list and quickly scanned the white paper in front of him.
But I saw this list printed with the names of one company after another:
"Holley Lane Mechanical Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd., total assets and liabilities: US$23 million, net assets of US$5.3 million."
"Dayang Electronic Precision Co., Ltd., total assets and liabilities: US$52 million, net assets of US$12.3 million."
"Lipton Huimeili Food Packaging Co., Ltd. has total assets and liabilities of US$32 million and net assets of US$11 million."
