Chapter 1201: The first industrial giant is in hand

The next morning, Xia Yu brought someone back again.

The price had already been negotiated, so all that was left was to sign a simple agreement, which was basically just a formality.

The Nomura family holds 229.08 million shares of Nomura Securities, accounting for 18.4% of the company's total share capital.

At a price of 900 yen per share, Xia Yu needs to contribute 206.171 billion yen.

Converted into US dollars, it is more than 870 million US dollars.

Although this sum of money was huge, Xia Yu did not bat an eyelid and paid the full amount directly. Nomura Daio himself went to the Jiuding Bank to open an account and transfer the money, and then returned in less than half an hour.

Xia Yu was also able to take away all the shares held by the Nomura family.

'Mr Xia, why don't you have lunch with us sometime? I know a restaurant that's very unique,'

said Nomura Kohei with a smile as he saw Wang Qi putting things away in his bag and Xia Yu and the others seemingly preparing to leave.

Xia Yu looked at the time and smiled, shaking his head: 'Mr. Nomura, thank you for your invitation, but this time we are really pressed for time. Maybe next time, I will be in the island country for a longer period of time.'

Nomura Kohei looked regretful, but nodded with understanding: 'That's a real shame, but business is business. We'll wait for next time, and Mr. Xia must be our guest.'

'Of course!'

...

Afterwards, Nomura Kohei and his son went out to see Xia Yu off.

After Xia Yu's car disappeared from view, the Nomura father and son returned to the living room.

Nomura Daio took out a Jiuding Bank bank card (credit cards appeared in the United States in 1915, and Bank of America issued bank cards in 1959).

Just now, when Xia Yu was there, he was not in a position to go into details, and just nodded to his father to indicate that the money had arrived.

Now that Xia Yu had left, he could finally hide his inner excitement and said, 'Father, I have personally seen that it is 206.171 billion yen.'

Nomura Daio had never seen so much liquid capital, not even within Nomura Securities.

After all, Nomura Securities' total assets were only 2 trillion yen, of which less than 1.2 trillion yen was in the island country, and 200 billion yen was equivalent to one sixth of Nomura Securities' assets in the island country.

Nomura Securities has never had that much liquid capital!

And now, this money belongs entirely to their family, and they can do whatever they want with it!

Nomura Kohei took the bank card and stroked it with a complex expression.

He had traded the foundation laid by his grandfather and father for this. From today onwards, Nomura Securities would have no direct relationship with their family except for the name!

After a long while,

Nomura Kohei came back to his senses and said to Nomura Takeo, 'Help me go to your grandfather and great-grandfather.'

Nomura Takeo hurriedly helped his father up and then slowly walked to the innermost room, where the tablets of the spirits of Nomura Tokushichi and Onomura Tokushichi were placed.

The entire room was decorated in a solemn black colour, and when Nomura Kohei and Nomura Takeo entered, both of them adopted a reverent attitude.

Looking at the tablet and black and white photo placed in the middle, Nomura Kohei's eyes became moist.

He walked up to it, gently brushing away the non-existent dust on the tablet, and said with a trembling voice, 'Father, grandfather, your descendants are unworthy, and have sold the business you created.'

'But I think you would support me...'

'I am already old and will soon be joining you, so today, I will pass down the family's glory in your presence.'

Having said this, Nomura Kohei suddenly raised his voice and commanded, 'Daio, kneel down!'

Nomura Daio did not hesitate and knelt on the ground with a serious and solemn face.

Nomura Kohei slowly turned around and said to Nomura Taio, 'Taio, today, with your grandfather and great-grandfather as witnesses, I am handing over the family completely to you. You will be the fourth generation head of the Nomura family.'

'The family's assets are all here, and from today onwards, it will be up to you to decide how to dispose of them!'

With that, Nomura Kohei took out the bank card, and Nomura Taio solemnly opened his hands and caught the bank card.

The bank card was so thin, but the moment he received it, it felt like he had an extra mountain on his shoulders.

'Nobita, I just hope that you can remain calm and prudent in everything you do, and do your best to lead the Nomura family to another era of glory!'

Nobita Nomura nodded heavily in assurance, 'Father, please rest assured, I will do my best. With the current connections and resources, I will definitely work hard to open up a broader future for the family.'

With this net worth, if he sets up a securities company, it will be a large securities company from the start, which is enough for him to display his talents.

Nomura Kohei nodded without saying much else. He just patted Nomura Taio's shoulder and said in a tone full of expectation, 'Go ahead and do it, I believe in you!'

Nomura Taio's eyes were a little moist. He blinked his eyes to dry them out a little.

'Father, I won't let you down!'

'Mmm!'

...

This weekend was destined to be a time of harvest for Jiuding Securities.

In the evening, the results of each company were compiled and delivered to him.

First was the island country's Koito Industries, where in addition to Kojiro Kyo, Jiuding Securities also spent 10.83 billion yen to acquire 43.4 million shares.

As a result, Xia Yu's side now held 265.33 million shares, accounting for 75.8% of the company's total share capital, which was a long way above the absolute control threshold.

Of course, Jiuding Securities still owed 23.5386 million shares borrowed from Xiaosi Industrial Company in a bet, and the reason for not paying it back was to trap Nomura Securities' funds.

Although this equity will definitely be his in the future, by offsetting it at this time, he still controls more than two-thirds of the equity on this side, which is enough to completely take over Xiaosi Industrial Company and pass any resolution.

And Nomura Securities's side also had very gratifying results.

Wells Fargo's agreements with those institutions were all lifted, and by paying only 502 million US dollars, Xia Yu was able to own all of this 22.63% equity.

And when you consider that this stake was worth $681 million during the previous VAM, it means a profit of $169 million.

But if you think about it, the price was equal to the loan when the VAM was set, so if you were to buy it at that time, the premium would definitely not be low. Therefore, the money saved actually exceeds the 169 million US dollars by a long shot, which is enough to cover the gap in the premium to the Nomura family.

In addition, Xia Yu's many institutions also used the weekend to acquire a total of 14.5% of Nomura Securities' shares in the island country and abroad, at a total cost of 329 million US dollars.

As a result, Xia Yu's shareholding in Nomura Securities will total 55.53%!

There are not many shares in the hands of institutions, and the vast majority are in the hands of retail investors.

Next Monday, the stock market will be officially swept clean!

However, Xia Yu does not want any accidents caused by bargain-hunting to cause the stock price to rebound, thereby increasing his acquisition cost.

So there is one thing that must be done tomorrow before the stock market opens.

I hope that Junpei Hinata will know what is right...
