Chapter 598: Acquisition is greasy

It is said that Dongying is the Dongying of the gate valve family, and Zhang Chen finally saw it today.

Of the 16 members of the board of directors of Nikko Securities, in addition to Zhang Chen, an independent director, eight of the remaining 15 directors are from Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Miwa, Sumitomo and other big chaebols. Among the remaining seven directors are two retired officials from the Ministry of Finance, three senior executives of Nikko Securities, including Junichi Arimura, a partner at Nishimura Asahi Law Firm, and a professor at Todai.

The board of directors of a Japanese company is more of a report on the results than a board of directors, and the same is true of the board of directors of Nikko Securities, and it is the executive committee that actually controls the company's operations. In addition to having a place on the board of directors, Junichi Arimura is also the chairman of the executive committee, and he is also a descendant of Nikko Securities Chairman Kaneko Masashi.

In addition to Junichi Arimura, Hirano Hirofumi, senior executive director of Nikko Securities, is also on the board of directors.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Hirano grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, and Hirano is a typical son of a Minato Metropolitan family, starting with his grandfather, who was a senior director of Nikko Securities. And his father became a senior director of Mitsubishi Bank.

Whether it is in the past, present or future, Mitsubishi Bank is one of the largest financial groups in Toei, and most of the time, one of these two words can be dispensed with.

The executive director is equivalent to the position of president of a bank in China, and if you imagine the status of the head office of ICBC, you can know how awesome Hirano's family background is.

And Hirofumi Hirano, at the age of 36, has integrated his grandfather's mantle and become the executive director of Nikko Securities, and his future is limitless, and many people at Nikko Securities are speculating that the next president is none other than him.

The children of Dongying's family are the real children of the family. The family lineage is short, and it can be counted to the end of the Edo period more than 150 years ago. Even if you don't count the palace family, some big families, including those well-known public and martial arts families during the Warring States Period, have been inherited for five or six hundred years without interruption, and their accumulation of heritage is far from being comparable to the so-called second and third generations in China.

Although their attitude towards them was almost flattering, Zhang Chen could still clearly feel the sense of superiority emanating from Arimura and Hirano in his bones.

It's not that they look down on Zhang Chen, no matter how long their family background is and how great their achievements are in history, they are now only a gold-collar class with an annual income of tens of millions of yen.

As long as their brains are not in the water, it is impossible to stand in front of a real billionaire and show off their might.

Billionaire, this word is very interesting, the semantics of China and the United States are slightly different.

In China, a billionaire is defined as having assets of more than 100 million RMB. 100 million yuan, it sounds simple, just a small goal. But in English, there is no such unit as 100 million, 100 million is 100 million, and only when it reaches 1 billion dollars is it a billionaire, and it is a real billionaire.

Until 20 years later, when global inflation was high, there were only about 80 Chinese with assets of more than one billion US dollars.

The various media that pay attention to Zhang Chen have long made calculations about Zhang Chen's assets. Although they can't get real detailed data, it is only a conservative estimate that Zhang Chen's fortune has exceeded two billion dollars.

The wealth of everyone here added up may not be a fraction of Zhang Chen's current wealth.

Nikko Securities' shareholding structure is very dispersed, and the chairman is also appointed by shareholders, and his own shares in Nikko are very small.

Dongying people pay the most attention to intelligence gathering, and when Zhang Chen agreed to serve as a director of Nikko Securities, these public information were already on the desk of Nikko's top management.

The reason why Zhang Chen received such a high-standard reception from the moment he arrived in Dongying was not because he was a director of Nikko Securities, but because of his wealth.

Zhang Chen understood very well that the sense of superiority he felt from Hirano and Arimura was actually just a gesture formed by the other party from childhood to nature, although it looked a little unpleasant, but the other party was already very careful.

He was also very helpless, and after being reborn, he wanted to pretend to be slapped in the face, but he really didn't have a few opportunities to slap his face.

It's been nearly two years since I returned to this world, and during this time, I encountered a lot of things in the months before I was reborn. Since digging the first pot of gold in the United States, I have hardly encountered a particularly bloody plot.

Think about it, the most bullied people in the world are the poor, anyone can step on a foot, if you don't feel that you have been stepped on, it can only mean that you have been stepped on.

Money and status not only solve 90 percent of problems, but also reduce the incidence of problems by 90 percent.

There are often literary and film works that are strong and profound, and if you have to show that everything has a price, if you have money, you must be unhappy, and if you want to gain power, you must abandon your wife and finally be lonely for the rest of your life.

Come on, people are happy.

Just like Zhang Chen, he's quite happy now.

"I'm sorry, Senior Hirano, but I interrupted, can you tell us more about the acquisition of Bringsom that you mentioned in your report? Hirano's boasting was not finished, and he had just finished talking about the acquisition in the first half of this year when he was interrupted by Zhang Chen.

Hirofumi Hirano's face remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly: "Zhang Sang, there is no problem with this acquisition, Bringsom's profitability is very good, and their financial income is specially marked in the financial report for the first half of this year." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "Senior Hirano, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with this acquisition, I'm just looking at how the specific capital flow and cash flow transfer of this acquisition are carried out." ”

Jun Arimura repeatedly sighed in his heart when Zhang Chen mentioned Bringsom just now, and peeked at Jin Zichangzi. Kaneko Changzi shook his head slightly with a magnitude that others couldn't notice, and Junichi Arimura coughed lightly twice, "Zhang Sang, the schedule of today's meeting is very tight, this kind of detail is still put after the meeting, I asked Hirano to prepare all the materials that Zhang Sang needs, do you think this is okay?"

Zhang Chen smiled lightly and didn't speak, just waved his hand.

Hirano Hirofumi was silent on the surface, but his heart was already like a stormy wave. It's broken, it's really exposed, what to do?

Zhang Chen did discover the financial loopholes of Nikko Securities, to be precise, financial fraud.

There is no way, the means are too obvious, even any financial personnel who graduated from the University of Finance and Economics in China would not use such a clumsy method to fabricate profits.

The proceeds from Bringcom's acquisition by Nikko are clearly included in the income statement, while the cost of the acquisition is most likely not included in the costs.

Paralyzed, take people as fools? This kind of trick is also embarrassing to cheat? Zhang Chen originally just wanted to mix casually for a day or two, and then go back to San Francisco, but if this kind of problem is not pointed out, it is a typical IQ problem, right?

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can see that although affected by the Asian financial crisis in the past six months, Nikko has maintained a market growth rate higher than that of the same industry. I must say that these accolades are not just due to me alone, but to the efforts of the team. Because we have the belief that we will win, Nikko Securities has achieved unprecedented good results. ”

Faith?Zhang Chen laughed twice in his heart.

Changed the name of the person a bit.

The palace family, a branch of the Dongying Imperial Family. The Dongying royal family claims to have a history of 2,600 years, and the real history is about 1,400 years old. Even so, it is already the world's longest-standing royal family.
