v3 Chapter 1216： Core TV station (2/2)
”Chairman, I will follow your instructions.”
Yan Wenhan said respectfully.
”Ok!”
”Two requirements, one is hiding, and the other is efficiency.”
”You don't want to come forward directly, just arrange for the right people from the island country to come forward. You control it behind the scenes, and the equity needs to be handled properly to ensure that it is a company in the island country no matter from which point of view it is viewed.”
”In addition, the end of this year is the general election for the House of Representatives of the island nation. I need the power of the media. You can understand the importance and speed up efficiency.”
”Okay, please rest assured! Guarantee to complete the task!”
Yan Wenhan nodded his head and made a guarantee.
...
In fact, Xia Yu does have certain confidence in acquiring NTV TV.
NTV TV’s parent company, Yomiuri Shimbun Group, is backed by the Sanhe Consortium and the Daiichi Kanyin Consortium. Previously, Sanhe Bank also held a 10% stake in NTV TV alone. Fukuhara Kazuya, the deputy manager of Sanhe Bank, was also You can sell it to Xia Yu.
As for the NNN TV News Network, when it was established in April 1966, it had 18 TV stations to join. After more than ten years of development, there are currently 27 TV stations, ranking first in terms of scale.
Among these 27 TV stations, except NTV TV and Yomiuri TV, which are directly controlled by Yomiuri News Corporation, only a small number of other TV stations have a stake of more than one-third of the shares, and most only hold a small amount of equity as a link.
NNN TV News Network is only an organization. Without controlling all TV stations, Yomiuri News Group only has leadership over NNN TV News Network, but it does not mean that all affiliated stations of NNN TV News Network need it. Follow its advice.
Because many franchise stations are not just the alliance of NNN TV News Network.
For example, Fukui Broadcasting Station in Fukui Prefecture not only joined NNN TV News Network, but also ANN TV News Network.
In addition, in order to enrich the programs, many TV stations will also purchase programs from the core TV stations of other TV news networks. The difference is that the price of non-allies will be more expensive.
So to put it bluntly, the so-called five major television news networks are five coalitions centered on interests. As long as the interests are in place, dissolution can happen.
To give the most direct example, as long as Xia Yu can acquire all the other 25 TV stations of NNN TV News Network except NTV TV and Yomiuri TV, it is completely possible for these 25 TV stations to withdraw. NNN TV News Net can announce its dissolution.
The main reason why the Yomiuri Shimbun Group did not acquire the controlling shares of these TV stations was that it cost too much money, and the consortium behind it was unlikely to have so much money spent here. After all, controlling shares did not control the Yomiuri Shimbun Group. Necessary, there is no need to waste money.
However, for Xia Yu, who is not bad for money, has a deeper strategy, and has always focused on stability, he does not need a loose alliance. What he wants is a TV news network that can implement his orders at critical moments!
However, in order to increase the success rate of acquiring NTV TV station and hide himself, Xia Yu did not intend to let Jiuding Securities Company come forward.
To come forward, there is still Nomura Securities Company!
Of course there is another company-the island country Chiba Bank!
As one of the largest banks in the island country, Chiba Bank, currently ranked 42nd in the island country’s banking industry, is fully qualified to acquire NTV TV station, which will not lead to doubt.
According to the division of labor, Chiba Bank acquired 6.3% of the shares held by the Island National Industrial Bank and 5.5% of the shares held by Sun Kobe Bank.
And Nomura Securities Co., the core company of the Sanwa Consortium, came forward to acquire 66.9% of the shares held by Yomiuri News Corporation.
As Nomura Securities, there is absolutely no resistance from the Sanhe Consortium. With the current close relationship between the Sanhe Consortium and the First Persuasion Consortium, as long as they are willing to pay a sufficient price, the First Persuasion Consortium may also let go. !
The Sanhe Consortium and the First Persuasion Bank Consortium would never have thought that Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was already in Cao Ying's heart, and was digging a wall with a hoe!
Things are similar to what Xia Yu predicted.
Before the acquisition, Junping Hyuga first communicated with the president of the Sanshui Club and received the support of the Sanhe Foundation.
After all, the Yomiuri Shimbun Group is only under the joint control of the Sanhe Consortium and the First Persuasion Bank Consortium, and it is not so handy in many cases.
And if Nomura Securities can acquire NTV TV station, it means that in addition to the Yomiuri News Corporation’s surprise, the Sanhe Consortium can have one more mouthpiece that is easier to use. Even if the influence is not as good as the Yomiuri News Corporation, it’s better than nothing, no. ?
After receiving the support of the Sanwa Foundation, Nomura Securities asked the chairman of the Sanshui Society to match up, and hosted a banquet for the chairman of the Sankin Society and the president of the Yomiuri Shimbun Group in the island country's hot spring village and the sanctuary of Kanagawa.
Four of them played golf at Hakoneen Golf Course during the day and enjoyed the extravagant service in the hot springs at night.
In the end, faced with the extremely high purchase price of 100 billion yen from Junping Hyuga, the president of Yomiuri Shimbun Group and the chairman of Sanjinkai agreed.
On the second day, Nomura Securities officially signed an agreement with Yomiuri Shimbun Group, and 100 billion yen of funds were fully realized on the same day.
In order to reduce the impact, Nomura Securities Co. and Yomiuri Shimbun Group did not deliberately hold a press conference.
Nomura Securities is progressing well, and Chiba Bank also encountered no resistance.
Island National Industrial Bank and Sun Kobe Bank hold equity in NTV TV station. They have no intention of strategic investment. The purpose is only to preserve the value of funds.
Therefore, in the face of the high premium offered by Chiba Bank, UU Read Shikoku Industrial Bank and Sun Kobe Bank all readily agreed.
Chiba Bank spent a total of 16.2 billion yen to buy 11.3% of the shares of the two banks.
The purchase premium is much lower than that of Nomura Securities.
However, considering the huge amount of equity acquired by Nomura Securities Co., there is still a bonus for absolute controlling rights, which is normal.
After the completion of the acquisition, Xia Yu actually controlled 88.7% of the shares of NTV TV station, and the remaining 11.3% of the shares were all in the hands of NTV TV station’s management.
This equity, Xia Yu let him go. Anyway, it will not affect his control. The management holds a small portion of the equity, and it has a more sense of belonging and a more active work. If there are disobedient senior management, they have absolute controlling rights. It can be sanctioned easily.
PS: Like the previous two days, it is a big chapter. There are two events in the book review area, one monthly ticket event and one plot event, all with starting coins. Welcome everyone to participate! Thank you!
