Soon after the bell rang to represent the opening, "0178 - DreamWorks Video Games" rose to 230 yen, and "0178 - DreamWorks Video Games" continued to soar.
The soaring price of "0178 -- DreamWorks Video Game Company" is not just the day of March 20 -- since its listing, the stock price of DreamWorks Video Game Company has risen by 23 consecutive days, and the stock price has risen from the reserve price of 60 yen to 354 yen in one go, a sharp increase of 49 percent, and the market value of DreamWorks Video Game Company has swelled to $4425 million.
On the twenty-fourth day, that is, on April 11th, at the close of trading, "0178 - DreamWorks Video Games" finally dropped slightly.
After that, the rally of "0178 - DreamWorks Video Games" slowed down, and from time to time there were small fluctuations.
……
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
Mitsui Bank (later renamed Sakura Bank, and later merged with Sumitomo Banking Corporation of the Sumitomo Group to form Sumitomo Banking Corporation Mitsui Corporation. ) headquarters, inside the president's office.
Kitayama Zhensuke, who was the assistant to the president of Mitsui Bank at the time, respectfully pulled out a chair for Xu Cun and asked Xu Cun to sit down.
The president of Mitsui Bank (the name is really not found) took the initiative very politely: "Xu Sang, what did you say a few days ago about your intention to take out a loan?"
Xu Cun smiled and said, "President Takagaki of Mitsubishi Bank has approached me, and we have reached a preliminary intention. This is not an excuse for Xu Cun, he has indeed reached a preliminary agreement with Takagaki Governor of the Bank of Mitsubishi: Xu Cun will use his 51 percent stake in DreamWorks Video Games as collateral to borrow 600 billion yen (about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars) from Mitsubishi Bank.
The total share capital of DreamWorks Video Games before going public was 3 billion shares, and Xu Cun accounted for 74.5 percent of DreamWorks Video Games at that time - that is, Xu Cun should have had 2235 million shares of DreamWorks Video Games.
When DreamWorks Video Games went public, 750 million shares were issued, and the total share capital became 3750 million shares. As a result, Xu Cun's stake in DreamWorks Video Games became 59.6 percent.
Then how did Xu Cun's 59.6 percent stake in DreamWorks Video Games become 51 percent again?
The reason is very simple, the 8.6 percent of the shares of DreamWorks Video Games were cashed out by Xu Cun - because Xu Cun really didn't have the money to withdraw the Huangtu Land from Baye Bank. Therefore, Xu Cun could only start throwing 32,250 shares of DreamWorks Video Games into the stock market on April 11, the day when the stock price of DreamWorks Video Games rose to 354 yen, and cashed out 115 billion yen (480 million US dollars).
In other words, Xu Cun is the culprit behind the slowdown in the rise in DreamWorks video games' stock price -- if Xu Cun hadn't thrown a large number of DreamWorks video games shares into the stock market, DreamWorks video games' stock prices would have continued to soar for some time.
It is precisely because Xu Cun is eager to cash out in the stock market, and even does not hesitate to curb the development of the promising DreamWorks video game company, that Mitsubishi Bank and Mitsui Bank, which have recently fought with DreamWorks video game company, found out that Xu Cun may be short of money.
In addition, Xu Cun once said both true and false during the listing stage of DreamWorks video game company: "Maybe one day I may find you Mitsubishi Bank and Mitsui Bank for loans!"
Therefore, Mitsubishi Bank and Mitsui Bank, which have a keen sense of the market, coincidentally began to investigate Xu Cun.
It didn't take much effort, and both Mitsubishi Bank and Mitsui Bank found out that Xu Cun, who had been very aggressive in recent years, lacked a lot of funds!
In fact, this is indeed the case -- due to a serious shortage of funds, many of the 420 branches and sub-branches of the Baye Bank that Xu Cun had originally circled have not yet begun construction, let alone the further expansion that Xu Cun expected. To be honest, if Xu Cun hadn't been in a hurry to occupy the mainland film market, even the 310 DreamWorks movie theaters might not have been put into use by the end of last year. In addition, big pits such as Baye Plaza, Miramar, DreamWorks Film and Television City, Manor on the Shi'ao Peninsula, and Prince Guo's Mansion in Beijing need to be filled with a lot of money. On top of that, the DreamWorks network still lacks a lot of money to build. So, Xu Cun is really, really short of money!
Thanks to the strong support of the United States, Japan's economy has risen rapidly since the late 70s, (and there are even some arrogant Japanese clamoring to buy the whole of the United States, and extremists have published books such as "Japan Can Say No", which has received a lot of popular support in Japan.) So much so that a lot of spare money is now hoarded in Japan.
Capital operation is to make money move and use money to make money, and if this idle money is not moved, how can capital operate? How to use money to make money?
In addition, Xu Cun has a large number of fixed assets that can be used as collateral.
Therefore, Mitsubishi Bank and Mitsui Bank successively approached Xu Cun and wanted to give Xu Cun a loan.
The Mitsubishi Bank had already deposited a loan of 600 billion yen on behalf of Xu at a very low interest rate, so naturally there was no need to say anything more -- at present, the matter was finalized by the two sides just before it was formally signed.
Now let's just talk about Mitsui Bank......
The president of Mitsui Bank said confidently: "Xu San, I don't know how much confidence the conservative Takagaki Jun can have in you, but I can guarantee that he must not have as much confidence in you as I do!"
After listening to what the president of Mitsui Bank said, Xu Cun said quietly: "Oh? I don't know how much confidence you have in me?"
The president of Mitsui Bank held out two fingers and said, "I can give you a loan of two trillion yen." ”
One trillion is equal to one trillion, and two trillion yen is two trillion yen, or eight or three billion dollars. Mitsui Bank can provide so many loans to Xu Cun, and it is really not ordinary confidence in Xu Cun!
The corners of Xu Cun's mouth twitched and said, "Then what do I need to use as collateral?"
Seeing that Xu Cun did not directly refuse, the spirit of the president of Mitsui Bank was immediately lifted! Immediately, the president of Mitsui Bank sat up straight and said: "Just use your imperial map to purchase land as collateral, it is complete!" -- The president of Mitsui Bank deliberately added an accent to the word 'complete'!
Mitsui Bank has always been the core of the Mitsui Zaibatsu, and the Mitsui Zaibatsu cooperated vigorously with the Japanese military during World War II, relying on the relationship of the Japanese military department, during World War II, Mitsui Bank even merged with the First Bank of Japan and renamed the Imperial Bank, becoming the largest bank in Japan.
After World War II, the U.S. occupation forces imposed post-war control over Japan, and as one of the tools of Japanese militarism, the Mitsui zaibatsu was forced to dissolve in the government-led dissolution of the zaibatsu -- because the Mitsui zaibatsu had a long and close relationship with the government, it was only natural that they suffered the biggest blow in the dissolution. In the subsequent resurrection, it was not able to recover and expand as quickly as several other zaibatsu because of its constraints, so its position at that time fell from the first chaebol before World War II to the back of Mitsubishi, Fuji, and Sumitomo.
It was not until the reorganization of four financial institutions, including Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust Bank, Taisho Marine Fire Insurance, and Mitsui Life Insurance, that the Mitsui Foundation slowly regained its business vitality and then owned internationally renowned companies such as Mitsui Bank, Mitsui & Co., Sony, Toshiba, Toyota, Sanyo, and Shinoji Paper.
Xu Cun never denies that he is a bastard, but a bastard also has his own bottom line and principles, and one of the bottom lines and principles of Xu Cun is to try to be a patriotic bastard under the premise of not harming his own interests.
Therefore, in the face of the Mitsui consortium, which has indirectly invaded China, taking the initiative to be a fat sheep, how can Xu Cun, a patriotic bastard, not stab him ruthlessly?
