Chapter 005 Exchange
Night fell and the lights came on. After the meals were served one by one, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai sat face to face in front of the dining table.
Sakai Rie just picked up chopsticks with her right hand and asked in a cloudy manner, “Today, where did you go?”
“The first thing I went to was the Tokyo Bay Bridge.” Masayoshi Kishimoto answered truthfully.
“To commit suicide? Why don’t you die?” Sakai Rie blinked twice and said with a smile on her face.
Kishimoto Masayoshi was not a bit surprised to hear her say such things to herself, and argued, “I originally wanted to die. However, just when I wanted to jump off the bridge, a volunteer appeared.
The other person told me to think about the people in my family, so I thought of you. When I thought of you, I didn’t want to die at all.
If I really died like that, wouldn’t I be giving you what you wanted? Therefore, I decided right away that I must live well and not die before you.”
A cold smile appeared on Rie Sakai’s face, “Theoretically, there is no such possibility. In reality, there is no such possibility as you said.
The average life expectancy of men in our country is 80.98 years, and the average life expectancy of women is 87.14 years. The latter outlives the former by more than six years.
Nowadays, I am twenty-nine years old and eighteen years old, while you are already twenty-five years old. You must live well, or you won’t have much to run for.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but cry and laugh at this nonsense theory of hers. He knew deep down that he could not afford to get angry, and when he argued and fought with the other party, whoever got angry first and whoever lost his temper first would lose. He could not lose, even if he had to lose, he should not lose to her.
“Where else did you go today besides the Tokyo Bay Bridge?” Sakai Rie said as she ate her dinner while engaging him in the daily exchange above the dinner table.
“Also went to a party for project investment explanation. There, I met and talked with Tatsu Kanazawa of the Korean NCSoft online game company.
We’ve verbally reached a preliminary intention. I don’t want anything other than 40% of the shares.
The day-to-day management of the company, personnel arrangements and operations, all by Jin Zechen to do the master, I will not carry out a too much interference.
If nothing goes wrong, we’ll be signing a formal contract within the next few days.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said truthfully.
Sakai Rie was anxious when she didn’t hear it. Her pair of beautiful eyes were wide open as she stared at the other party and said, “Are you a fool? Online game company, what is this? It will not be a fraudulent company!
If you have 40% of the shares of the other party, but not involved in the daily management, personnel arrangements and operations and other specific matters, that is not become a chopping board above the meat, to be slaughtered?
This want to do the hands off the boss will easily make money, that there is such a good thing? Even if you don’t hold the initiative in your hands, you should actually grab some key company power.”
“First of all, let me affirm that my ideal is not to become an entrepreneur, but an investor. This matter of engaging in day-to-day company management and business activities is something that entrepreneurs do, not investors.
The focus of an investor is to invest money in companies with potential and profit upside. Once they see the right thing to do, they make a bold bet. Generally, there is no substantial intervention.
Secondly, small companies in the start-up phase are not as regulated and standardized. What do they rely on? It’s all about credibility, trust, and righteousness among men.
All of that is for when the company gets really big. When the company gets big, there will be a board of directors again. Any and all major changes to the company will be discussed at a meeting.
Such as changes in equity, capital increases, stock expansions, etc., will be conducted an advance notice to the relevant major shareholders of the company. Before implementation, must follow the company procedures. Whoever is sneaking around behind the scenes, that would fall into the category of commercial fraud.
Finally, everything has to be done in compliance with the express provisions of the laws of the host country’s Companies Act. There are rights that you can’t have just because you want them, and there are rights that you can’t give up just because you don’t have them.
Warren Buffett invested in so many companies around the world, one by one, he arranged his own people to go, but also too busy! Take the big and put the small, investment is not doubtful, there is doubt not to invest.” Kishimoto justice eloquently said.
He said here paused for a moment, and with a smile on his face, he changed his words and then added: “Are you concerned about me, worried that I’m being cheated?”
Sakai Rie suddenly raised her head high and said, “None of my business, even if you’ve been tricked, you deserve the bad luck.”
“Then why are you so nervous?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he smiled at her.
Sakai Rie spread her hands and also shrugged her shoulders a bit and said, “Am I nervous? I’m just kindly reminding you on the basis that your father and mine are family friends and best friends, and we live together, so that you don’t cry then.”
“Thanks a lot. When did you, someone who studied flute in college, become interested in business again?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said lightly.
Sakai Rie didn’t answer, responding with silence. Although she claimed that she wanted to become a musical artist, in her heart she knew better than anyone else, how many of their musical instrument majors could actually become artists?
Even if the Tokyo University of the Arts she attended was the best music and arts university in RB, and Ryuichi Sakamoto was an alumnus, that didn’t guarantee much.
After graduation, the only option is to apply for a job in a symphony orchestra, but there are only a handful of symphony orchestras and they don’t recruit every year.
The only way out for most people is to apply for a job as a music teacher at another school. Other than that, it’s just a matter of working at an off-campus music training organization.
Otherwise, you can just change your career and go to work in a company, and then become an ordinary office worker. The company and the business are connected.
“Since you’re making investments, where did you get all that money?” Rie Sakai asked thoughtfully.
“I’ve decided to sell the bouncy house.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said half of the sentence without saying the other half; after all, mortgaging the house to a bank for two years would cause fluctuations in her heart.
Even if the house was her own alone and had nothing to do with her, she didn’t want the other person’s mind to be above the notion of what to do after two years.
“It’s good to sell it, so that you don’t have to wreak havoc on so many people again. In fact, I don’t think you should invest the money you got from selling the bouncy house on top of some online game company.” Rie Sakai stifled a smile as she played a flamboyant voice and said.
“Then what should be done according to your idea?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said nonchalantly.
“Open a custom store.” Sakai Rie said as she laughed.
