Chapter 43: The Forced Purchase of Konami (2)
On June 12, a group of seven people, plus six bodyguards who followed Zhang Lexing (forcibly arranged by Yang Xinxin, couldn't be pushed), boarded a flight to Tokyo, Japan. Nine hours later, the plane was over Tokyo Bay, Tokyo was in sight, and the target of the trip, Konami, was still in the dark......
On June 13, after having breakfast, Zhang Lexing came to the suite that Mak Jiajun had booked to be used as a command post. In the spacious living room, six computers are lined up, and data from the exchange has appeared on the computer screen, but since it is not yet the opening time, it still shows the information of yesterday's close. Mak was sitting on the couch discussing something with two of his team members, the other three were not here, and were said to have left for Osaka.
Mai Jiajun noticed that someone was coming in, looked up, then got up and walked to Zhang Lexing's side, and asked in a low voice, "Lexing, came over so early, did you have breakfast?" ”
"After eating, I actually wanted to see how you operated when you acquired the company, just curious." Zhang Lexing replied.
Mai Jiajun shrugged his shoulders and suggested: "You can't see anything now, and the market hasn't opened today, so the main thing is to analyze the data and discuss the specific operation plan, and it will officially start tomorrow." Why don't you go and walk around the streets of Tokyo, which are said to be very lively. ”
Zhang Lexing is not very interested in shopping, but there are some places in Tokyo that must be visited, since there is nothing to see in Mak Jiajun, just go buy something that interests you. Called six bodyguards, then stopped two taxis, and went straight to Akihabara.
Akihabara has the largest electrical appliance market in Japan, but the entire street is not only home appliances, but also high-end watches, brand-name perfumes, games, anime, figurines, coffee, Japanese food, and clothing produced in various countries around the world (color TVs, computers, emerging digital products, electronic components, and various small household appliances). Zhang Lexing's purpose here is actually simple, that is, to be able to find some game-related items, such as newly launched game cartridges, some limited game products and the like. After a day of shopping, Zhang Lexing had a lot of gains, buying more than a dozen game cartridges that he had never seen before, both on Sega MD and Super Nintendo, and also collected several limited edition GameBoys, one of which is said to be a customized version of a famous airline. A bunch of stuff was sealed into a box, then the address of the workshop was written, and it was directly packed and sent back first.
……
On June 14, in the office building of the Konami headquarters in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO Kaizuki was in his office as usual looking at the materials submitted by his subordinates.
At a quarter past eleven o'clock in the morning, the door of Jingzheng's office was suddenly pushed open, and he looked up to see that it was the company's financial director Kamiki Shoichi who came in.
Shangyue Jingzheng frowned, and said in a serious tone: "Shenmujun, why did you come in and didn't even knock on the door, what kind of system is this." ”
Shenmu Zhengyi bowed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, CEO, because I have something important to report to you, I was excited for a while, so I ......"
Shang Yuejing waved his hand and said, "What makes you so flustered?" ”
"CEO, there is an abnormal fluctuation in the stock price of our company on the Osaka Exchange, and it seems that someone wants to manipulate our company's stock." Kamiki Shoichi carefully reported what he knew.
"What, how could this happen?" Last month, Jingzheng knew that his company's financial situation has been quite good, although he has invested a lot of money in technological innovation, but the company's working capital on the books is still very sufficient, and it is unbelievable that someone will fight the idea of his own company: "Have you found out where it is sacred?" ”
"CEO, it has been investigated, it seems that some small companies are buying and selling stocks in large quantities, and the specific situation of these companies is still under investigation, and the results may be available in the afternoon. This information is a brief description of the current stock trading situation, as well as a brief introduction to some of the companies involved in the transaction. Shenmu Zhengichi respectfully handed over the information he brought.
Last month, Jing Zheng took the information and glanced at it, in fact, the situation was not as serious as he thought, but there were seven or eight companies buying and selling their own company's stocks, and the stocks involved in a piece were not even 2%, it seemed that this Shenmu was really too much of a fuss.
Shangyue Jingzheng looked at Shenmu Zhengyi dissatisfied, then threw the information on the desk, and said, "Okay, I already know the situation, you can go out now, and report to me if there is any new situation." ”
Shenmu Zheng glanced at Shangyue Jingzheng's expression, and knew that he had come to report this time, so he had to take his own information and leave.
"This Shenmu, it's too much of a fuss, it seems that the next time the board of directors meets, we will have to consider discussing the choice of the treasurer." Looking at the disappearing back of Shenmu Zhengyi, Kamitsuki Jingzheng shook his head and refocused his attention on the materials on the desk.
In the temporary command post of stock trading, Mak Ka-chun watched the trading situation fed back on the computer screen, and occasionally gave buy or sell orders to his two assistants, who quickly sent the instructions to the stock exchange by phone.
Zhang Lexing stood stupidly next to him, from noon to three o'clock in the afternoon, he found that he had bought and sold all day, not only did the funds used to buy stocks shrink slightly, but the key was that he didn't buy many stocks, so he couldn't help but come to Mai Jiajun's side and asked in a low voice: "I just calculated, it seems that we haven't bought many stocks today, when will we go at this rate?" ”
While staring at the final closing data on the screen, Mak Jiajun said: "I bought a total of 321,500 shares today, accounting for about 1.35% of Konami's total share capital, and maybe some more will be released tomorrow." Lexing, in fact, I said before I came, it is not fun to buy through the stock market, and it is impossible to buy a large amount of money as soon as it comes up, you always have to play for a few more days, otherwise it is easy for the other party to find out your purpose. Isn't it like what you thought? ”
Zhang Lexing sighed, this matter is really different from what he thought. According to Zhang Lexing's idea, if you want to buy any company, you must buy a large amount of the other party's shares as soon as you come up, and strive to grasp as much equity as possible when the other party does not react.
"How many days does it take to buy and sell like this?" Zhang Lexing decided to find out the situation first, so that he could arrange his actions in the next few days.
Mak Jiajun shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it will take at least a week, and then it will depend on the specific situation." ”
It seems that this matter will not be finished for a while, and Zhang Lexing, who is unwilling to leave like this, simply thinks that he is here to travel, and simply plans to hire a tour guide to take an N-day tour of Tokyo.

Last month, Keimasa once again added an analysis report of Kamiki Shoyi on his desk, saying that there were more than 20 companies involved in the trading of Konami stocks, but the empty investigation content made Kazuki Keimasa angrily throw this report out.

On June 19 and 20, the market will be closed. But Mak Ka Chun didn't seem to be idle, and made multiple calls in two days, and I don't know who they contacted.
……
On June 21~25, Konami's stock trading continued to be as active as last week, with the stock changing hands rising steadily, the stock price climbing by 50 yen amid downward fluctuations, and the number of shares held by Mak Ka Joon rose to 1,183,500 shares (4.97%). Shenmu Masashi didn't appear in front of Kamitsuki Jingzheng for a whole week, and Kazuki Jingzheng's face was much better.
……
On June 26 and 27, the market will be closed. Mak Ka Chun still didn't seem to be idle, and made multiple calls again in two days, and I don't know who else he contacted.
……
On June 28, Kaimashi went to Osaka to attend a three-day meeting, along with several senior executives of the company, and even the Kamiki Shoichi who made him a little uncomfortable. At nine o'clock on this day, a large number of sell orders for Konami stock suddenly poured into the exchange, and not long after the stock market opened, Konami's stock price turned around and rushed down, falling by 100 yen in a row before it could stand firm. At the same time, some gossip such as "Konami's arcade business continues to shrink, the arcade division is in danger of layoffs, and Konami is expected to report huge losses in the second quarter" began to spread quietly, and some investors who held Konami shares panicked and began to partially sell their holdings, which once again pushed Konami's stock price down by nearly 100 yen, and the decline in stock prices triggered a new round of panic selling. By the time the remaining staff of Konami noticed it, the selling wind in the market had taken shape, and a large number of sell orders continued to pour into the exchange, but at this time, the company's decision-making power was not there, and they wanted to fight back but could not come up with the power to fight back. It wasn't until after the stock market closed that Konami's left-behind staff contacted Kazuki and hurriedly released a statement refuting the "theory of the decline of the arcade business" through the news media, but it seemed a little too late.
In this day's sell-off, although Mak Jiajun sold some stocks at the beginning, he continued to buy small orders during the subsequent troubled waters, so that his holdings of Konami shares reached 3,983,800 shares (16.72%), although it exceeded the 5% threshold, but anyway, there is still a 20-day buffer period, so there is no need to rush to report, and he can continue to fish in troubled waters.
