KIRIN & SUNTORY merger

There was a big news last year and people were surprised that one of the biggest drink makers KIRIN and SUNTORY are considering a merger.
If the two companies became one, that can be a biggest drink makers in the world.
However, the dream didn't came true.
The two companies couldn't make a compromise of its share ratio.
Also, their point of view about how the companies should be was different.
From the consumer's point of view, I don't want them to merger.
They both make good beer, and both of they are popular in Japan.
However, if they merger, their own distinct style of making drinks can be changed.
So they should not merger if doesn't merit both of them.
