Foreign Capitals
2005.02.22 2:39

Code of Commerce will be changed soon and it will be easier for foreign investment to buy domestic companies, because they can buy it in their stocks not cash, let alone yen.
The big wave of foreign capitals are waiting to gulp all lame ducks-some of Japanese companies are already as good as dead, some don't know how to adjust and transform as the world goes, and waiting a new master from overseas.
Indeed, Lehman Brothers bought 40.1% of one of Japan's media giant, Fuji TV network through the hands of Japanese dummy? company. Too many Japanese peaceful business people don't know we are already in a jungle of M&A.

I wish there was some way to make them realize that John Edwards was right- there are two Americas. The America of the commons- which identifies certain "natural monopolies" which are removed from the public sphere and owned in common. And the America of the Multinationals- a small group of rich businessmen who want to take over the world.The first would never even THINK of owning a company in Japan- to them, the long distance management problems are too hard to overcome. The second sees those managment problems as a minor obstacle to oppression of a cheap workforce.On the positive side- the second REALLY know what they're doing, though- they've done it elsewhere in China, India, South America, the Middle East, and Africa with great success.--Instead of teaching our children the wrong example of genocide, go down in dignity and teach that we are stupid.

Lehman Brothers were found in 1850. There relationship with Japan started up to 1905 Russo-Japan War, when it delivered fund by issuing war bond for Japan's sake.
Now their HQ is located in 31 floor in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, where 900 people were working.
Their transaction was done during 30 minutes break between regular dealing hours by $800 million TB(transfer bond), all were not anticipated out of possible alternatives before but of course not illegal.
Such abrupt M&A will take place from now too. It is not an unlike story that our company woke up to find falling in multi-national's hands one morning.--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters
