Watching Wade and his men disappear into the hotel, Xing Baohua stirred the coffee in front of him.
Is the NSA targeting him?
Xing Baohua was trying hard to recall if he had left any clues at the time.
I can't think of anything that photos of bodies number one and two can prove, unless the other party has actual evidence in front of him.
To suspect that it was done by people of Asian descent is a bit far-fetched.
However, their intuition is very sharp; they try to scare people without evidence first, like stirring up trouble.
Only when you lose your composure, or even panic or try to make amends, will your weaknesses be exposed and allowed to be seized upon by the other party.
These are just some techniques.
Having figured out the other party's tactics, Xing Baohua is now focusing on Nikon and will temporarily stay away from the internet.
After a night's rest, I arrived at the temporary office feeling refreshed the next day. The acquisition of Nikon was essentially complete. Most of the staff would be leaving, leaving a few to help him manage the Nikon board of directors.
The team of analysts compiled and organized all of Nikon's business dealings, cross-shareholder collaborations, and various publicly disclosed projects for Xing Baohua's reference.
Following that, the minority shareholders who had scheduled meetings with Xing Baohua arrived in a line, arranged by the chief secretary.
Xing Baohua had nothing else to do today but chat and laugh with these minority shareholders as he acquired their shares.
Of course, if there are suitable collaborative projects, we will find time to discuss them in detail.
The shareholders who can cooperate with Nikon are either upstream raw material suppliers or downstream supply chain partner factories.
These factories will be key partners in the future.
In two days, Xing Baohua collected 21% of the shares held by these minority shareholders.
Adding to the previous 17%+, it's almost halfway there.
The largest shareholder has emerged.
It is impossible for Xing Baohua to achieve absolute control, and the other party will not allow him to become the controlling shareholder as he wishes.
It's already quite impressive that he can control more than 38% of the shares.
The Nikon family, the second largest shareholder, owns only a little over 26%.
After acquiring these shares, it is necessary to report and change the shareholder information.
Xing Baohua suggested to Nikon that they hold a chairman election.
Just as the suggestion to apply for the trip was made, Xiao Zhao from the north came to visit in person. This time, Xing Baohua had no choice but to meet with him.
Inside the office, the bright, transparent glass allows you to see employees moving around and working.
Xiao Zhaoyibei was not used to this kind of open meeting.
Just like all privacy being exposed to the sunlight.
“Mr. Xing, could we perhaps meet somewhere else?” Xiao Zhaoyi suggested.
"I'm sorry, I'm quite busy. I need to take over Nikon's work as soon as possible, and then I have to go to the United States to help Nikon establish a branch factory. We're all businessmen; time is money," Xing Baohua said to the old man without any politeness.
"Alright then! I want to know if Mr. Xing genuinely wants to run the company as chairman or is he just using Nikon as a tool? You've seen Nikon's information, haven't you? The shareholder and employee structure is complex. Can you stabilize Nikon?"
This is quite interesting. The old man directly asked Xing Baohua if things would get chaotic once he took over Nikon, and that many employees might resign.
Everything about it exudes a sense of threat.
"This is easy to solve. First, I have money. Shareholders and employees, aren't they all in it for the money? I can give them the figures they want. If it weren't for the money, I would ask them to leave Nikon. As for those employees who say it's for ideals or something, that's even more ridiculous. Ideals? They're useless here. They can leave anytime, and I can hire someone else anytime. I've never said that anyone is irreplaceable. Tell them that if I can solve it with money, it's not a problem."
"If you really throw money around recklessly, you're damaging Nikon, and even more so, you're destroying a pillar industry of the Japanese Empire. You'll be doomed too," the old man said fiercely.
"I'm sorry, I don't agree with your statement. How is this a blow? This is rapid development. I have money, I can attract more talent, and under my leadership, Nikon will develop rapidly and become a leader in the industry."
"You're just making excuses, and I won't let you get away with it!"
"Okay! We'll wait and see. Anything that stands in my way will perish, even if it means sacrificing Nikon."
threaten?
Who's afraid of who!
The Nikon camera was something Xing Baohua got for free; they even delivered it to him. Even if the Nikon disappeared from the world, it wouldn't affect Xing Baohua.
I don't feel bad about it.
The more indifferent Xing Baohua acted, the more Xiao Zhao felt that a wolf had entered a sheepfold, and all the sheep were doomed.
The two stared at each other for a minute before the old man relaxed and said in a gentler tone, "Tell me what you'll tell Nikon to do next."
"As I mentioned at the first conference, the plan is to proceed in three steps. First, integrate Mi and Nikon to form a single electronics company called Mi Nikon. Second, establish a factory in the United States to produce and develop the necessary components, software, and so on. Third, establish a headquarters in China."
"Why must we establish a branch factory in your country? Can't we do it elsewhere?"
"Tell me where is a suitable place? Where can I find cheap labor? Don't tell me about India or Vietnam. If you build a factory in our country, I can help increase investment in the local area. That's a matter of personal connections. More importantly, the labor is cheap!"
Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, but then nodded.
Xing Baohua continued, "Actually, I don't have much time to serve as chairman. It'll only be for six months to a year. Once Nikon is on the right track, I'll step down. I have a lot of things to do, and Nikon won't take up my energy. You can take over my position then!"
