The uncertainty surrounding Xing Baohua certainly caught everyone at Toyota off guard.

Nobody expected him to buy it like this.

Eiji Toyoda did not give Xing Baohua an answer, and then changed the subject, asking Xing Baohua if he wanted to buy more Toyota stock and become a member of the Toyota Group.

After all, holding 4.9% of the shares makes him a major shareholder among individual shareholders.

With a stake of over 5%, Xing Baohua can make a public disclosure of his shareholding and even become involved in Toyota.

If Toyota doesn't want Xing Baohua to get too involved, it either needs to buy his shares at a premium or find a way to expand Toyota and dilute Xing Baohua's stake through share issuance.

Diluting this guy's shares would be too costly, and it would also be a battle between giants, harming the shares of other minority shareholders.

Another option is to bring Xing Baohua in, trap his funds, and use his money to develop Toyota.

But this guy is hard to catch! He bought the stocks through the free market, so they can be freely bought and sold.

If this guy were to sell his Toyota stock, it would trigger a catastrophic crash.

After all, Toyota has a large market capitalization, and even a 5% stake is a huge amount.

So Eiji Toyoda first tentatively asked Xing Baohua, trying to appease him.

Some things are worth discussing.

Japan's economy is gradually declining, and the temporary difficulties have made it difficult for Toyota to control Xing Baohua.

As long as we can keep Xing Baohua in check and help Toyota get through this difficult time, it wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, Xing Baohua has over a billion yuan at his disposal, which he can do a lot of things with.

“Mr. Eiji Toyoda, in financial investments, I only like to trade quickly. I don’t like holding stocks for the long term. As long as the profit is right, I can sell at any time,” Xing Baohua said with a smile.

Neither of the two matters discussed today met Eiji Toyoda's expectations, which greatly annoyed him.

But on the surface, they still had to put on a friendly and approachable attitude.

“To maintain wealth growth, one must take a long-term view of interests. Becoming a Toyota shareholder is very beneficial in the long run,” said Eiji Toyoda.

"Thank you for your advice, I will try my best. I'm young and don't have much patience. As for the Crown model's chassis technology and the matching engine, are you going to sell it or not?" Xing Baohua said in a pressing tone.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that. Since we can't reach an agreement, why don't we each think about it and talk again?" Eiji Toyoda said politely.

"Suit yourself. But I want to give Chairman Eiji Toyoda a special reminder. I not only buy stocks, I also short them!"

These words infuriated Eiji Toyoda so much that he almost coughed up blood.

If he hadn't been somewhat self-controlled, he probably would have exploded long ago.

What could have happened to bully them to this extent?

In other words, after acquiring a large number of Toyota shares, Xing Baohua will gradually sell them, causing a price drop. Then he will use short selling to further suppress Toyota's stock price.

Xing Baohua wants to control Toyota. Is taking a cut from one side not enough? Does he want to take a double cut too?

That's outrageous! He needs to be taught a lesson.
