Chapter 501: Don't Touch What You Can't Move (Two Chapters in One)
"A thief catches a thief!" Yiqiao Group - a model of shamelessness!", this is a report by Jiuding Daily.
"The stock price plummeted! The Hitotsubashi Group paid a heavy price for its actions!" was reported by the Asahi Shimbun from the island nation.
"Hitotsubashi Group loses lawsuit, only innovation is the only way out!" This is a report from the island nation "Yomiuri Shimbun".
......
For a time, major newspapers reported the latest relevant information and interpreted it from all angles.
Because the Hitotsubashi Group also held a press conference in a righteous manner and set off a public opinion offensive, it put itself in the position of the victim, which attracted the sympathy and support of many people.
But the result was so reversed, I don't know how many island people were slapped in the face.
The more thoroughly the support for the Ichitsubashi Group before, the more angry I became at this time, and the reputation of the Ichitsubashi Group was directly rotten.
Many people are even calling for Hitotsubashi Group to pay the price!
The end of the loser is always tragic.
After the trial by the Tokyo court, the Hitotsubashi Group must delete all the plagiarized manga serialized in the three magazines, and compensate Ma Tengdong and Jiuding Animation for a series of expenses such as mental damages, reputation damages, and actual social and economic losses, totaling 2 billion yen.
Huge compensation costs are one thing, and the Hitotsubashi Group can't rely on it at all, so it must be compensated!
And Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Shirakusensha, the three manga magazines, because of word-of-mouth problems, sales plummeted directly.
Among them, there are reasons why passers-by and fans deliberately resist in anger, and there are also reasons for the impact of competition to grab customers after "Bosom Friend" became famous in the whole island country.
Originally, the overall quality of the comics of "Bosom Friend" was better than that of "Weekly Shonen Jump", etc., but what was lacking was publicity fermentation and word-of-mouth, which directly catalyzed this originally slow process and made "Bosom Friend" well-known.
Coupled with the problem of word-of-mouth comparison, the sales of comic magazines under the Hitotsubashi Group have declined.
In addition to these, the most eye-catching is the share price of Hitotsubashi Group, which plummeted to 73 billion yen, and the downward trend is still rapid.
And it should be taken into account that Jiuding Securities has not yet smashed the market, if Jiuding Securities interferes again, the stock price will only plummet more violently.
Just when the Hitotsubashi Group and the Soga family were busy, Ma Tengdong was happy to reap the fruits of victory when he continued to beat the water dogs.
This time, "Bosom Friend" is truly known to the island country, and it is also a completely positive reputation.
With the negative background wall of the Hitotsubashi Group, even the first best-selling "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY", the second "Weekly Shonen Jump", and the fifth "Flowers and Dreams" have to plagiarize "Bosom Friend Manke", and no reader is not curious about what the manga on "Bosom Friend Manke" looks like.
In particular, the Hitotsubashi Group also gave "Bosom Friend" an assist.
Originally, the Hitotsubashi Group plagiarized the four major comics, although it was remodeled, but with the help of the huge comic magazine platform of the Hitotsubashi Group, it has aroused the interest of a large part of the readers.
At this time, the plagiarized comics were forced to be cut, and these readers could only come to find the original genuine goods, which diverted a large number of fan readers to "Bosom Friend", many of which became die-hard fans of "Bosom Friend".
Because at the time of the Tokyo Tribunal's trial, it was already the last three days of the week when the "Bosom Friend" manga was sold, so although the sales skyrocketed, it did not rise too much, and the weekly circulation only rushed to 2.24 million copies, ranking third.
After the release of the latest issue of "Bosom Friend", the sales were extremely hot, and I believe that this week, the sales will definitely exceed 2.24 million copies.
Sure enough, in the second week, the weekly circulation of "Bosom Friend" skyrocketed again, directly rushing to the level of 2.55 million copies, surpassing "Weekly Youth JUMP", which had fallen to 2.43 million copies, and ranked second, catching up with the first "Weekly Youth SUNDAY", Ma Tengdong called this battle worth it!
Of course, compared with the serialized "Bosom Friend", the sales of the single book of the four comics have skyrocketed, and Ma Tengdong can't keep his mouth shut.
In addition to the high sales of comics, the original plan to open 40 new stores of Manke Home was divided into four stages by Ma Tengdong, and ten new stores had been opened before.
This time, ten more stores opened, and he also took the time to go to the new store in Shinjuku Ward next door, and the store opened directly opposite the Hitotsubashi Book House under the Hitotsubashi Group, and fought directly in the ring.
On the day of the opening, sales were very hot, and many customers who had planned to enter or come out of Hitotsubashi Bookstore were attracted to it, and the manager of Hitotsubashi Bookstore jumped to his feet.
Two flowers bloom, one on each branch!
Just when Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. was making great progress, Gavin Peter's progress was not lagging behind.
Gavin Peter has already been angry with Wang Qi, he knows that his acquisition plan is related to Jiuding Securities' money-making plan, so with the full support of Chairman Xia Yu, he does not want to drag Jiuding Securities back, and he does his best to make acquisitions every day.
Just three days after the acquisition plan was launched, it won the smallest ordinary society in one fell swoop.
On the fifth day of the acquisition plan, he took 51% of the shares of Yamato Study, and although many shareholders did not agree, Gavin Peter still forcibly annexed Yamato Study.
On the seventh day of the acquisition plan, exactly one week later, the entrusted bank helped Jiuding Book Publishing Company complete the acquisition of the entire equity of the second target, Baodao Society.
Day 10......
On the fifteenth day, exactly half a month after that, the hardest nut to bite, and at the same time the strongest academic research publishing house among the targets, was finally gnawed down and successfully acquired 86% of the equity of the academic research publishing house.
With the acquisition of the five major publishing houses, the most important thing is to integrate resources and strength together in order to enhance competitiveness.
Moreover, the acquisition of five publishing houses at once, the internal management will definitely be chaotic, although Jiuding Book Publishing Company has a controlling stake, but it is not inevitable that some management will be corrupt or corrupt.
Gavin Peter certainly had a way to solve this kind of problem, and on the premise of obtaining the consent of Chairman Xia Yu, he began to integrate the five major publishing houses and replace the equity of the major subsidiaries with the equity of the group company.
The original pattern was that Xiangjiang Jiuding Book Publishing Company held 100% of the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Company.
Then the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Company holds a controlling stake in the five major publishing houses.
It has formed a pattern in which the parent company of Heung Kong controls the big with the small and then controls the small.
Then, because of the absolute controlling stake in the five major publishing houses, Gavin Peter directly intervened and began to integrate.
After some integration, the pattern has become that Xiangjiang Jiuding Book Publishing Company holds 87% of the equity of the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group Company, and the remaining 13% of the equity is distributed in the hands of the original shareholders of the original five publishing houses.
The island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group Co., Ltd. has five sub-publishing houses with a 100% stake.
In this way, the major shareholders of the five major publishing houses have directly become insignificant minority shareholders, although they have a combined 13% stake, but whether they are round or flat, can only be kneaded by Gavin Peter.
Now, for the sake of stability, Gavin Peter temporarily reassured them, but in his plan, when the later stabilization is achieved, these shareholders will be diluted or cleared out one by one.
After the acquisition, a total of 25.2 billion yen was spent, which is equivalent to nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, because it is a leveraged buyout, this also makes the debt ratio of Jiuding Book Publishing Company in the island country reach 69%.
But Gavin Peter is not worried about such a high debt ratio, because he is confident that the company will achieve a compound annual growth rate of at least 50% after the integration.
The growth rate of assets and profits is much higher than interest, and in the short term, the island company will not start acquisitions, and the funds will not be transferred to the parent company, so it is not difficult to repay these loans!
Just when the share price of Hitotsubashi Group fell to 57 billion yen and the decline rate had slowed down, Wang Qi knew that it was time to fire a second shot.
Subsequently, the news of the island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group was finally exposed!
Not long after the incident of the Hitotsubashi Group, there was another earthquake in the publishing industry of the island country!
Originally, everyone thought that the third position in the island country's publishing industry would be won by Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the owner of "Bosom Friend".
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!
Unexpectedly, an island country Jiuding Book Publishing Group appeared out of thin air, forcibly annexed the five major publishing houses, and rushed to the third position in the island country's publishing industry in one fell swoop, aiming at the Hitotsubashi Group and the Otowa Group.
Just by looking at the name, you can know the relationship between Jiuding Books and Jiuding Animation, and outsiders directly regard the two companies as one.
As a result, the threat has increased dramatically!
Capital's confidence in the island country's publishing industry has declined, and the share price of Hitotsubashi Group, which had slowed down, has accelerated and plummeted again.
Not only that, but even the Otowa Group was affected as a whole, and the stock price began to fall.
Not only was the Hitotsubashi Group anxious again, but even the Otowa Group caused a riot within the Group.
......
Jiuding Securities Company Island Branch, Wang Qi came to the operation room to guide the operation.
When he saw that the stock price of Otowa Group had fallen as expected, Wang Qi showed a satisfied smile.
Then, at the sound of an order, the employees who had been ready for a long time went into action again to buy shares of the Otowa Group from the secondary market.
In addition, there are some employees who are on the sidelines, acquiring scattered shares in the hands of some minority shareholders who cannot attend.
These stakes are his bargaining chips!
And of course, make another profit!
......
Just when Jiuding Securities Company secretly acquired the shares of Otowa Group, in order to face the unexpected situation, the board of directors of Otowa Group convened again.
Seeing that the faces of the directors present were not good, Shiba Shengxiong naturally knew what everyone was thinking, which was also the reason why the board of directors was suddenly convened today.
After thinking about it, in order to improve the atmosphere, let's talk about the good news first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have called you to the meeting again, and there are two main urgent things to tell you!"
"The first is good news, our group's acquisition of the equity of Yiqiao Group is progressing well!"
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Shibyu Yuta's face, and the other directors also came to their senses and looked at Shiba Yuta in unison.
"So far, our company has acquired a total of 20.4% of the shares of Hitotsubashi Group, and has entrusted Watanabe-kun to represent the company on the board of directors of Hitotsubashi Group. ”
Shibyu Yuta paused, smiled and looked at Watanabe Akihito who was sitting next to him, the two made eye contact, Shiba Yuta continued: "Next, I would like to ask Watanabe-kun to tell you about the specific situation. ”
"Bang Bang!"
After a burst of celebratory applause, Watanabe Akihito explained the situation: "The Soga family is very resistant to us, because the Hitotsubashi Group belongs to the family of the Soga family, and the Soga family has a very strong control over the Hitotsubashi Group, and each important position is either controlled by members of the Soga family or their loyal subordinates, so it is very difficult to grab power." ”
"But after all, we own 20.4% of the shares, have 4 board seats, we still have a certain right to speak, and now we have installed personnel in our company in terms of finance, and in the future, the situation will get better and better!"
"Bang Bang!"
After listening to Akihito Watanabe's story, Shiba Yuta took the lead in applauding and celebrating the success of the company's strategic plan.
The applause fell, Shiba Yuta did not speak, the atmosphere gradually cooled again, and the other directors also fell silent, knowing what the other matter was.
"The second thing is not aimed at our company, but the entire publishing industry, but it has a big impact on our company, and the bad impact is directly reflected in the stock market. ”
"Originally, because of the acquisition of Hitotsubashi Group, our company was favored by capital, and the stock price rose, and the market value reached 65.8 billion yen. ”
"But now, the stock price rally has been interrupted, capital has fallen into a wait-and-see period, and the market value of our company has fallen again, and now it has fallen to 63.4 billion yen, and there is still a downward trend. ”
Shiba Shengxiongtai's face was heavy, and he said in a somewhat low voice.
The directors present looked ugly, and they were all lost in thought, but did not make a sound.
After a long time, a director spoke up: "The current situation is relatively chaotic, the strength of the One Bridge Group has been greatly damaged, and it has been infiltrated by us, and in the short term, the One Bridge Group has no intention of developing." ”
"But our energy was also restrained by the Hitotsubashi Group, and we definitely couldn't retreat, so it was not easy to infiltrate the Itotsubashi Group. ”
"But we are fighting with Yiqiao Group, so we let go of the newly established Jiuding Book Group, the five major publishing houses were acquired, Jiuding Book Group has completed the coverage of the whole field of publishing, will compete with us in the whole field, and because Jiuding Animation is a brother company, we are under more pressure. ”
At this moment, another director interjected: "But it is impossible for us to give up the Yitsubashi Group and suppress the Jiuding Book Group instead, this is simply unrealistic!"
As soon as these words came out, the previous director was speechless, he thought for a while, and defended: "Of course it can't be, the competition is long-term, in the field of comics, we have fallen into the disadvantage, acquired the five major publishing houses, the established book group is strong, even if it can succeed, it is not a short time to win." ”
"And this should not be up to us to compete with Jiuding Book Group, which will be cheaper for others, we might as well continue to infiltrate Yiqiao Group to enhance our strength." ”
"If we can pull the Yiqiao Group under us, the newly established Jiuding Book Group has nothing to fear!"
"Well said!"
Watanabe Akihito immediately applauded.
"What about the stock price? Our stock price is falling!"
Once again, the director spoke up.
"This is false, the bridge group fell worse than us, as long as we continue to infiltrate the bridge set, the capital will definitely be optimistic about us, and it will not be difficult for the stock price to rise back!"
Akihito Watanabe said bluntly.
The director thought for a moment, bowed slightly, and said no more.
"Okay, since that's the case, then let's ignore the stock price for the time being and continue to acquire Hitotsubashi Group!"
Subsequently, Shiba Yuta made a decision, and the Otowa Group once again twisted into a rope and continued to acquire the shares of the Hitotsubashi Group, which made the share price of the Hitotsubashi Group stop falling again and fall into volatility.
It's a pity that the idea of the Otowa Group is good, but Wang Qi doesn't plan to let them get their wish.
Now that the equity of Yiqiao Group in the hands of Jiuding Securities has been sold, it is time to buy the shares of Yiqiao Group at a low price, how can it be possible to watch the stock price of Yiqiao Group rise?
The-stirring stick of the Otowa group is a thorn in Wang Qi's eye.
If you move something you shouldn't, you deserve the punishment you deserve!
Jiuding Securities Company, which was secretly acquiring the shares of Otowa Group, directly showed its fangs, let go of its hands and feet, and swept the goods in the secondary market.
Target - Otowa Group stock!
PS: I heard that there is a double monthly pass, so I begged for it cheekily, thank you!
