Chapter 553 IPO (Revised)
The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai were eating breakfast inside the small dining room when Kazuya Takahashi came running in fully dressed.
“You came early enough. Have you eaten yet?” Masayoshi Kishimoto blurted out.
Takahashi Kazuya was completely nonchalant and directly pulled out a chair and sat down, “I didn’t eat. I came all the way to a big house like yours to have breakfast.”
Rie Sakai raised her hand and signaled the maid at home, “Bring him a set of dishes.”
After the maid understood, she turned around and went to the kitchen to get a set of dishes and placed them in front of Kazuya Takahashi. Takahashi Kazuya was already waiting for them, and directly picked up something to eat.
“Get Meiling down here to have breakfast with us as well. Last night, you didn’t eat.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.
“If she didn’t eat last night, then how come there’s something missing inside our refrigerator? That whole Spanish Iberian ham sitting inside the kitchen is missing a good chunk.” Rie Sakai had already gotten a report from the maid on duty last night and said.
Masayoshi Kishimoto felt more and more that Mei Ling was a girl who hadn’t grown up. Gambling was gambling, but in the end, she couldn’t keep her hunger at bay. This stealing food was also stolen without skill.
Takahashi Kazuya laughed while casually acting as if he was in his own home and said, “Mei-Ling is really a weirdly interesting girl.”
“You’re so positive, is it in your heart that you want to meet your family’s Yuki?” Sakai Rie said as she picked up her milk glass and took a sip of milk.
“At first, I was woken up by the alarm clock thinking that I had to go to work. Later, reacting to the fact that it wasn’t right, today is the day I’m going to accompany you guys to the harbor terminal. I was afraid of oversleeping, so I simply got up.
It’s still early, so I came to your house to have breakfast. At that time, I’ll pick up Yuki and go with you to the harbor terminal.” Takahashi Kazuya said truthfully.
“Even if you finish breakfast, you’ll still have to wait another hour or two to get there. When a woman takes two or three hours to put on her makeup, that’s classified as a basic operation. Their biggest characteristic is that they are slow.
If you rush them, they become even slower. They have good reasons for their slowness. This dressing up is also for the sake of our men’s face.” Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly said with feeling.
“You’re very experienced! I’m completely inexperienced in this one area.” Takahashi Kazuya feigned an innocent young boy’s look and said.
“You’re clearly stirring up the good feelings between us as a couple.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said righteously.
“You two stop performing in front of me. What kind of people are you one and all, am I not clear in my heart? Snakes and rats.” Sakai Rie said in disbelief.
Masayoshi Kishimoto and Kazuya Takahashi wouldn’t even get angry at that, and just looked at each other and laughed. They were certainly well aware of what kind of character Sakai Rie was as a woman.
“Are Yuki’s parents particularly fond of you now? When you go to your door, that’s all going to be warmly welcomed.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in mid-sentence.
Not only Takahashi Kazuya, but also even Sakai Rie understood as soon as she heard him that he was talking about that stock swap thing, thus solving the temporary problem of the Mizuhara family’s lack of liquidity funds.
Not only that, but it also led to an official meeting between the Mizuhara family and the Takahashi family. The two families settled on a marriage contract that both parties were happy with.
The Mizuhara family did not feel that they were selling their daughter, and the bride price was only paid by the Takahashi family as a sign of goodwill. Moreover, Yuki Mizuhara’s father had repeatedly said that he would pay back the money with interest before his youngest daughter got married.
Takahashi Kazuya’s parents were no fools either, and had inquired about the Mizuhara family’s actual situation. Even without this, the Mizuhara family would have suffered some monetary losses, but not bankruptcy.
Therefore, there is no such thing as marriage fraud. Both parties were families with some social standing, and valued their reputation, credibility and face.
The Mizuhara family and the Takahashi family could be said to have formally concluded the marriage contract with one hand, and with the other hand, they had obtained from Kazuya Takahashi the exchange of Literary Spring Publishing House’s shares for Hard Gold Group’s shares at a rate of 1:1.
That afternoon, Mizuhara Yuki’s father on his own hands of hard gold group stock is resold to Kishimoto justice cash to go completely solved the problem of personal liquidity fund shortage.
“This thing, how to say? As the saying goes, eat people’s mouths are soft, take people’s hands are short. Whether it’s Yuki, or his parents as soon as they see me, they will mention that they are not selling people, and in the future, they will definitely pay me back with interest.” Takahashi Kazuya said after a moment of silence.
“The Mizuhara family is really reasonable.” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled.
“Is it possible that our Sakai family is not being reasonable in your mind, but is being unreasonable?” Rie Sakai’s first reaction was to immediately think of her own parents, her little sister and her little brother together making a scene about selling the marriage contract for money.
This compared to the fact that her own parents, little sister and little brother had never said a word about returning the money to Masayoshi Kishimoto with interest in the future.
“Our situation is nothing like Kazuya and Yuki’s. You’re the one who’s being groomed, and from an investment standpoint, that’s the initial stage of seed investment.
Kazuya and Yuki bypassed the seed investment (a relatively small amount of money provided to an investor or entrepreneur, usually used to validate their concept.
Uses can include product development, but rarely for initial market operations), and even omitting the second stage of angel investment, a couple of rounds of financing, and starting with an IPO (Initial Public Offering, which is the first time a company sells its shares to the public).” Justice Kishimoto drew an analogy.
“No, although my process with Yuki didn’t go through seed investment or angel investment, it still went through Series A financing, Series B financing, Series C financing, and then IPO,” Kazuya Takahashi argued thoughtfully.
“What are you telling me about the real one? Anyway, the earlier you invest, then it also means the higher the risk, but it belongs to a high-risk, high-reward, small for big.” Masayoshi Kishimoto added.
“Indeed. The earlier the time of investment, all aspects of the market are unknown, and it’s completely like crossing a river by touching a stone.
It’s very likely that if one of your feet slips, you’ll fall inside the river and subsequently be swept right out of existence by the river.
Seed investment is usually not done, directly into the angel investment stage. Even if the money invested is small, it’s still money, who would have nothing to do with the money to play with the water?
However, some larger investment companies will enter at the time of A round of financing or B round of financing. The result is good, and will continue until the IPO listing.
On the contrary, it will terminate the next round of financing, that is, to make a necessary stop-loss. Not to IPO this stage is stillborn.
As long as the venture capitalist above can’t realize the IPO listing, then it basically falls into the category of not having anything to do.” Takahashi Kazuya followed his thought process and said.
