A company has absolute control over the number of stocks they publish.
Unless they're retarded, they won't release enough shares on the open market for someone to just swoop in and buy them up.
The amount of money needed to achieve a majority stake, let alone ownership (over 50% for a hostile takeover) of a conglomerate is such an insane number that usually not even rival companies of the same size can buy up the stocks of the other one without decades of planning, a huge amount of loans and money involved, all over very long period of time (years to decades).
