Chapter 516 Cash is king
Masayoshi Kishimoto was not specifically looking for the president of Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House to drink whiskey and chat. He naturally came with a clear purpose.
It was only that he felt that dealing with cultural people and talking about profits right off the bat was a big deal. Although he himself was an investor, the heart within his body was still quite literary.
Kishimoto justice and the other party drank some wine, not in a hurry, began to cut to the chase: “Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House is our hard gold group expansion map above a ring.
I hope to work hand in hand with you and the colleagues of Literary Arts Spring and Autumn Publishing House. The name Literary Arts Spring and Autumn will not be changed in any way.”
The president of Literary Arts Spring and Autumn understood that this was the start of the business. The other party had already sort of positively expressed his intention to acquire Literary Arts Spring and Autumn Publishing House.
In fact, it had already begun when Natsume Ryosuke had taken the initiative to come in contact with himself. That was the nail in the coffin when it was stated by Masayoshi Kishimoto himself at that moment.
He had more or less still heard things about the Hard Gold Group and Masayoshi Kishimoto. Not long ago, the Hard Gold Group had acquired Nakano’s Mitsuba Bank and changed its name to Hard Gold Bank.
This transaction had the meaning of “buying by force”. Even if it was a big bully and a hostile takeover, it was still a normal rule of the game in the business world.
The president of Literary Spring and Autumn put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a serious manner, “I know that Chairman Kishimoto is interested in our Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and you yourself are such an individual with taste and literary cells.
It’s a good choice to work hand in hand with you. However, our Literary Arts Spring and Autumn Publishing House has upheld the idea of operating independently from the very beginning of its establishment.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto heard that the other party meant to politely decline. There was absolutely no way that he would just give up on something he had recognized just because of a few words, it was completely out of character for him not to die until he achieved his goal.
“If you agree with the proposal I just made, even if the Hard Gold Group acquires the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, you will continue to be allowed to stay on as president.
Of course, if you insist on your opinion. I believe that the vice presidents, executive officers, specialists, as well as editors-in-chief and deputy editors-in-chief under you will all be interested in the post of president.
Or it’s not unlikely that they’ll be headhunted from other publishers and parachuted in directly.” Masayoshi Kishimoto leaned his back on the sofa and said in a coercive manner.
Although the president of Literary Spring and Autumn was touched in his heart, he was not ready to surrender. He smiled with an undercurrent of confidence and said, “The Literary Arts Spring and Autumn Publishing House was founded in January 1923, and has a history of 78 years.
To date, it also has a history of 78 years. In the middle of this, we have also experienced many storms and ups and downs, but we have never fallen.
What’s more, our Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House is still a large publishing house, not something that can be compared to a small bank like the Nakano District Mitsuba Bank.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto cut through the backlash from his opponent. He retorted calmly and calmly, “You’re right. It’s just that you still don’t know enough about our Hard Gold Group and myself.
I have come with great sincerity to integrate this part of Hard Gold Group’s future development strategy. You have affection for Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, but that still lies in the fact that you joined it right after you graduated from the university, and you have been working from a trainee editor to the president. Your decades of dedication and hard work are also due to the reward.
However, you should not forget that the shareholders of Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House may not have the same affection for Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House as you do.
For our Hard Gold Group, even a TOB (public takeover) of your Literary Arts Spring and Autumn Publishing House isn’t something that can’t be done.”
“Are you planning a hostile takeover?” The president of Literary Arts Spring and Autumn sat up straight and looked at him with a torch-like gaze, saying.
“If you want to put it that way, I don’t deny the existence of such a possibility. Even if it’s a malicious takeover, it shouldn’t be the first time for our Hard Gold Group.” Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed a little and said.
“Aren’t you the least bit worried that this will negatively affect your company’s reputation in the future?” The president of Literary Spring and Autumn argued.
“It’s like a man’s first time. Once you’ve done it, you’ll also think about doing it a second time. Perhaps, this one analogy of mine is inappropriate.
France’s Vivendi Universal Group has done so many malicious takeovers, and I haven’t seen that there’s no one left to do business with him.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke bluntly.
The president of Literary Spring could see that the other party was not bluffing. If the Hard Gold Group wanted to plot against the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, it certainly wouldn’t be a matter of one day or two.
As Masayoshi Kishimoto himself had said, this was a part of the Hard Gold Group’s future development strategy. Therefore, it is not difficult to judge that the other party is premeditated and planned in a push.
What can he do? Nothing more than to convene a general meeting of shareholders and management, asking everyone to be united and unanimous.
That’s what the words say, but it will definitely appear that each has his own plans. Once the Hard Gold Group openly acquires Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, it will inevitably raise the share price of Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime premium acquisition, which is extremely attractive to every shareholder holding Literary Arts Spring and Autumn Publishing House.
Many people’s retirement plan is to wait until they have enough money, then go directly to Hawaii or the Maldives. Or, somewhere else to enjoy life and spend their old age in peace.
The opportunity came, but also to be able to let themselves reach their wishes in advance, how many people will not do it? How many people can be as dedicated to their career as they are?
Isn’t the wish of most people just to make more money to live a good life and have a good life? As far as he knew, Hard Gold Group’s acquisition of other companies had always favored cash acquisitions.
There is no such thing as stock swap, and it also maximizes the satisfaction of the wishes of the shareholders of the acquired company, after all, it is a world where cash is king.
Unless the acquired company’s shareholders take the initiative to put forward the stock exchange, the Hard Gold Group will be in accordance with the proportion of a relevant transaction.
From this, it can be seen that the hard gold group’s cash is very sufficient, or even too much, after all, Kishimoto justice behind the whole of Japan’s pachinko industry, and this one industry is the least cash.
Not only that, hard gold group’s largest subsidiary, but also Kishimoto justice in the beginning of the first company hard gold capital, another investment bank, is also not a lack of cash Lord.
Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House in the face of such a strong enemy, even as president of his, but also in the heart is not without fear and weakness.
Kishimoto Justice saw the other party was silent for a long time is not a word, know that he in the head inside the various measurements and calculations.
He calmly said, “I really hope that we can still sit together in the future and drink whiskey and chat like tonight, instead of not even being friends anymore.”
