Chapter 516: Cash is King

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't specifically ask the president of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House to drink whiskey and chat. Naturally, he had a clear purpose.

It's just that he feels that dealing with cultural people and talking about profits as soon as he comes up is really a big mess. Although he is an investor, the heart in his body is still quite literary.

After drinking a lot of wine with the other party, Kishimoto Masayoshi began to cut into the whole without hurrying and said: "Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House is a link in the expansion map of our hard gold group.

I hope to be able to work hand in hand with you and my colleagues at the Spring and Autumn Publishing House. There will be no changes to the name of Wenyi Chunqiu. ”

The president of Literature and Art understands that this is the beginning of the conversation. The other party has already expressed its intention to acquire the Spring and Autumn Publishing House.

In fact, when Ryosuke Natsume took the initiative to contact him, it had already begun. This is said by Masayoshi Kishimoto himself at the moment, and that is a sure thing.

He had more or less heard about the hard gold syndicate and Kishimoto's justice. Not long ago, the Hard Gold Group acquired the Sanye Bank in Nakano Ward and changed its name to Hard Gold Bank.

This transaction has the connotation of "strong buying and strong selling". Even bullying and hostile takeovers are a normal rule of the game in the business world.

The president of Literature and Art Spring and Autumn put down the wine glass in his hand and said seriously: "I know that President Kishimoto is interested in our Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and you yourself are such a person with taste and literary cells.

It's a good choice to be able to work hand in hand with you. However, from the beginning of its establishment, we have adhered to the concept of independent operation. ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto heard what the other party meant, which was politely refusing. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up directly because of what he has recognized, and it is completely inconsistent with his character of immortality if he does not achieve his goal.

"If you agree to my proposal just now, even if the Hard Gold Group acquires the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, I will continue to let you stay as the president.

Of course, if you stick to your guns. I believe that the vice president, executive director, special manager, editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and others below you will be interested in the position of president.

Or it is not impossible to go directly to the airborne from other publishing houses. Kishimoto leaned back on the couch and coerced.

Although the president of Literature and Art Spring and Autumn said that his heart was touched, he did not surrender yet. He smiled confidently and said, "The Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House was founded in January 1923.

So far, it has a history of 78 years. In the meantime, we have also experienced a lot of ups and downs, but we have never fallen.

What's more, our Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House is still a large publishing house, but it is not a small bank like the Sanye Bank in Nakano District. ”

Kishimoto felt the counterattack from the other side. He calmly shot back: "You are right. It's just that you still don't know enough about our hard gold group and myself.

It is with great sincerity that I integrate this part of the future development strategy of the hard gold group. You have a feeling for the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and that is because you joined it after graduating from university, and worked all the way from trainee editor to president. Your decades of dedication and hard work are also the rewards you deserve.

But don't forget that the shareholders of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House may not have such feelings for the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House as you do.

For our hard gold group, even if it is a TOB (public acquisition) of your Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House, it is not impossible. ”

"Are you planning a hostile takeover?" The president of Wenyi Chunqiu sat up straight, and looked at him with a torch in his eyes.

"If you say that, I don't deny the existence of such a possibility. Even if it is a hostile takeover, it should not be the first time for our hard gold group. Kishimoto smiled.

"Aren't you worried about the negative impact on your company's reputation in the future?" said the president of Wenyi Chunqiu.

"It's like a man's first time. Once you've done it, you'll want to do it again. Perhaps, my analogy is inappropriate.

France's Vivendi Global Group has done so many hostile takeovers, and no one has done business with him before he has seen it. Kishimoto said bluntly.

The president of Literature and Art Chunqiu could see that the other party was not bluffing. If the hard gold group wants to plot the Spring and Autumn Publishing House of Literature and Art, it will definitely not be a matter of one or two days.

As Kishimoto himself said, this is part of the future development strategy of their hard gold group. Therefore, it is not difficult to judge that the other party is premeditated and planned, and is in the process of advancing.

What can he do? All he can do is to convene a general meeting of shareholders and a general meeting of the management, and ask everyone to be united and united in the outside world.

That being said, there will definitely be plans for each other. Once the hard gold group publicly acquires the Wenyi Spring and Autumn Publishing House, it will inevitably pull up the stock price of the Wenyi Spring and Autumn Publishing House.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime premium acquisition, and it is extremely attractive to every shareholder who holds Wenyi Spring and Autumn Publishing House.

Many people have a retirement plan to go straight to Hawaii or the Maldives when they have enough money. Or, go somewhere else to enjoy life and live out your old age in peace.

When the opportunity comes, and you can still achieve your wish in advance, how many people will quit? How many people like themselves can do their careers wholeheartedly?

Isn't the desire of most people just to make more money to live a good life and have a good life? As far as he knows, the acquisition of other companies by the Hard Gold Group has always preferred to be acquired with cash.

There is no such thing as a stock swap, and it also satisfies the wishes of the shareholders of the acquired company to the greatest extent, after all, it is a world where cash is king.

Unless the shareholders of the acquired company initiate a share exchange, Hard Finance Group will carry out a related transaction on a pro rata basis.

It can be seen from this that the cash of the hard gold group is very sufficient, even too much, after all, behind Kishimoto Masayoshi is the pachinko industry in the whole of Japan, and this industry is the most cash-hungry.

Not only that, the largest subsidiary of Hard Gold Group, and the first company that Kishimoto Masayoshi started at the beginning, is Hard Gold Capital, which is also an investment bank, and is also the master who is not short of cash.

Literature and Art Spring and Autumn Publishing House is facing such a strong enemy, even as the president, he is not without fear and weakness in his heart.

Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Kishimoto knew that he was making all kinds of measurements and calculations in his head.

"I'd love to hope that we'll be able to sit together and drink whiskey and talk like we did tonight," he said calmly, "instead of not being friends." ”
