Chapter 249: A Young Cartoonist
In the first warm-up game between the Japanese national team and the Bulls, Ryumasa independently supported the team forward. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of the game, Ryuzheng had a huge physical exertion. In order to protect himself and avoid back-to-back matches, Ryumasa took a leave of absence from the coaching staff and refused to participate in the second warm-up match in Osaka.
For Ryuzheng, a national treasure-level player, the coaching staff and even the Japanese Basketball Association have put their posture very low.
Since three years ago, the Long Zheng family has moved to the United States. Except for Ryumasa's many times back to Japan during this period, Ryumasa's parents don't seem to have returned.
For developed countries like Japan, it is very common for people to move abroad and change their nationality, especially for wealthy people like the Ryumasa family. And Long Zheng's Chinese ancestry is not a secret within the Basketball Association.
The Japan Basketball Association is worried that Ryumasa will change his nationality and leave Japan in the near future. In order to retain Long Zheng, the attitude of the Basketball Association is very clear: envelop and retain Long Zheng's heart.
The coaching staff heard Long Zheng's request and immediately reported to the Basketball Association. After that, he replied to Long Zheng as soon as possible: allow him to ask for leave. But in the third warm-up match held in Yokohama, Ryumasa must participate.
After separating from the Japanese national team, Ryumasa found a couple of Hatsunori Oda who had been busy in Tokyo for half a month.
As Long Zheng's parents, Oda Chufan and his wife believe in Long Zheng's investment vision very much, and even to the extent of blindness, it is according to Long Zheng's investment advice that Oda Chufan and his wife can earn tens of billions of dollars in less than ten years.
On August 30, Long Zheng signed a two-year rookie contract with the Houston Rockets, and the next day, September 1, Oda Hatsufan and his wife transferred a huge amount of $3 billion to Long Zheng's bank account.
Although Long Zheng was not yet an adult at this time, he was only fifteen years old.
As for future investment, Ryumasa and Oda Hatsufan have discussed it many times.
Compared to her mother, Momoeko, who wants to buy shares of companies with good prospects, Ryumasa and Oda Hatsufan have different ideas.
Mr. and Mrs. Oda currently have $3 billion in Microsoft stock, $1.5 billion in Dell stock, $1.5 billion in venture capital, $2 billion in government bonds, the Chicago Bulls, Derbao University in Chicago, and Oak Hill High School.
Among them, $3 billion in Microsoft stock and $1.5 billion in Dell stock are the most high-quality assets under the name of Oda Hatsufan and his wife.
Because Oda Chufan and his wife started early, the value of the stock has increased more than five times compared with when they were first purchased. The "prescient" Long Zheng also knew that the shares of both companies would continue to grow over the next decade.
Three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Oda had more than 10 percent of the shares in the two companies, but three years later, because they had no right to speak, the two companies shrank the proportion of shares of Mr. and Mrs. Oda to less than 6 percent through various means, including the issuance of additional shares.
With billions of dollars in shareholdings, they can't speak within the company, and Oda Chufan and his wife are also speechless.
$1.5 billion in venture capital and $2 billion in government bonds, these two investments give Oda Chufan and his wife the feeling that they seem to be glamorous, but in fact they trap their funds.
As for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago DePo University, and Oak Hill Middle School, to be honest, this was specially bought by Oda Hatsufan and his wife for Long Zheng, and they didn't think about the issue of value-added or income at the beginning.
......
When Long Zheng talked about this with his parents, Long Zheng thought that he could no longer put the initiative in the hands of others. Otherwise, it is really a waste of "foresight".
Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing.
With "foresight" and sufficient funds, Longzheng can start from scratch, wholly owned and independently developed.
In China, Longzheng has a far-reaching layout, first establishing two professional sports clubs, and now prioritizing good relations with the government; In the United States, Longzheng invests in the information industry; In Japan, Ryumasa invests in the animation industry.
Unlike Japan, where the real estate bubble burst, Japan's anime industry has been on the rise and is leading the way in the world.
Ryumasa's goal was to place it in Shueisha, a general publishing house in Japan.
Shueisha, along with Shiraizumensha and Shogakukan, also belongs to the "Hitotsubashi Publishing Group".
In 1993, Shueisha's position in the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group ranked last among the three, not to mention the famous Shogakukan, and even the tepid Shirakusensha could not compare.
Shueisha's real rise began with the serialization of three manga ("One Piece", "Naruto", and "Death") of the so-called "Shueisha Big Three" in its magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump".
Because the current Shueisha is not important to the "Hitotsubashi Publishing Group", Ryuzheng made the decision to wholly acquire Shueisha.
......
"$100 million,"
In front of Long Zheng, Oda Hatsufan and his wife took out a draft contract and said with a sigh: "After returning to Japan, we used all our relationships to get this contract. ”
"100 million dollars?"
Looking through the draft contract carefully, Long Zheng's face darkened slightly, "Before, we asked an appraisal company to evaluate this acquisition. The appraisal firm concluded that Shueisha's assets were only $40 million, and the acquisition would cost up to $5,500 after the premium. Why is the purchase price directly doubled now? ”
"Humph!"
Momoeko was indignant and said in a muffled voice: "It's not a big bully of the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group store, and it also has Shogakukan, Shirasensha, and Shueisha, occupying half of the Japanese animation market." The eye is above the top, that is, the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group. ”
"Long Zheng, that's how the acquisition deal is. In fact, the reason why the purchase price doubled was because we bought all the shares, which made Hitotsubashi Publishing Group feel threatened. There is one issue that should be more important than the purchase price. ”
Oda Hatsunori took out a booklet and handed it to Ryumasa.
"Through a friend, I got an inside piece of information." Oda Hatsunori pointed to the three names in the booklet and said, "These three people are the three Taizhu manga artists of Shueisha. Hitotsubashi Publishing Group had secretly approached the trio before, and the three agreed that Hitotsubashi Publishing Group would collectively move to Shogakukan after we acquired Shueisha. ”
"What?" Oda Hatsufan's words made Long Zheng's heart chill, and his eyes couldn't help but become sharp.
For Shueisha, the most important thing is these manga artists under its umbrella. Without manga artists, Shueisha would have become an empty shell.
There is no doubt that the behavior of Hitotsubashi Publishing Group has touched the bottom line of Long Zheng.
After carefully reading the list, Ryumasa exhaled lightly as he saw three names on it: Eiichiro Oda (author of One Piece), Kishi Kishimoto (author of Naruto), and Obito Kubo (author of Bleach ), none of whom had any covert contact with Hitotsubashi Publishing Group.
After taking a reassuring pill, Long Zheng exhaled lightly and put down his hanging heart.
"I'll sign the contract tomorrow." Ryuzheng thought for a while and said, "Today is the 12th, and I want to participate in the warm-up match held in Yokohama on the 16th. After signing the contract tomorrow (13th), Shueisha will hold a general meeting of all employees the day after tomorrow (14th). I have a couple of great comic ideas that I can talk to about with these cartoonists. ”
"Comic idea?" Oda Hatsufan and Momoeko glanced at each other, a little confused.
"Ryuzheng, do you read comics?" Momoeko stammered and asked, in Momoeko's impression, her son's time was spent on basketball, when had he read the manga.
"Uh," Momoeko's question made Ryumasa a little embarrassed.
"Please, I'm only a fifteen-year-old boy, what's so strange about liking comics." Facing his mother, Long Zheng could only deal with it like this.
"That's right,"
Long Zheng added: "At the staff meeting the day after tomorrow, the three people who were secretly in contact with the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group should not come. Our small temple can't accommodate the three of them. ”
......
On the morning of September 14, more than 500 employees of Shueisha gathered at the headquarters of Shueisha in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, to participate in the first general meeting of all employees after the company's acquisition.
In a more conspicuous position, three immature young men sat together.
"Kishimoto, how did the people of the company put us in such a prominent position?"
Eiichiro Oda, who has only been a member of Shueisha for half a year, whispered to his companion Kishimoto Kishimoto next to him.
"Shh
Next to the two, Kubo lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, you've all noticed the abnormality." ”
"I'll tell you," Kubo looked left and right, and his voice was lowered, "The company's three pillars have secretly contacted Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, and the new boss has known about it. The new boss has spoken out to ban the three of them and remove all their works before their contracts expire. In the future, the company will focus on supporting us young cartoonists. That's why we were placed in such a prominent position. ”
"Block the three pillars?"
Eiichiro Oda was stunned, turned his head to look at Kishimoto Qishi next to him, and found that Kishimoto also had a puzzled expression.
"So what to do during this time, although I don't want to admit it, but the popularity and creative level of the three pillars are by no means comparable to us."
Eiichiro Oda asked suspiciously, "If this is the case, the company's business will definitely decline a lot." ”
"Hehe, do you know who the new boss of the company is?"
Kubo took a person with a proud expression.
Without waiting for Eiichiro Oda and Kishimoto Kishi to speak, Kubo took the lead and said, "The new boss is Ryu Masaya. At the beginning, his parents directly bought the Chicago Bulls for the sake of Long Zheng. Do you think Long Zheng cares about the company's earnings? ”
"Wait,"
Kishimoto Kishimoto suddenly interrupted Kubo Obito, because of shock, his voice couldn't help but be louder: "You mean that the day before yesterday he single-handedly defeated the Chicago Bulls' Ryumasa." ”
"yes!"
Kubo gave Kishimoto a roll of his eyes, "Who else can there be besides this Ryumasa." ”
"Then the second warm-up match between the Japanese national team and the Bulls in Osaka, Ryumasa did not participate." Kishimoto is like a fried rooster. "It's over!!"
"What's wrong?"
Kubo Obito and Eiichiro Oda glanced at each other and said, "I heard that Ryumasa took a leave of absence for this game because of physical problems. Could it be that someone you know has bought tickets for this game? ”
"It's my big brother!"
Kishimoto Kishimoto was dejected, like a defeated rooster, "Because of Ryumasa's incredible ball skills, ticket prices in the black market continue to rise. To buy the ticket from the black market, he spent $20,000, which is his annual income. ”
"What, twenty thousand dollars?" Kubo's teeth chattered, "We all know your big brother is a basketball fan, but we didn't expect him to be so crazy. ”
"Wait,"
Eiichiro Oda suddenly thought of something, "The second warm-up match between the Japanese national team and the Bulls in Osaka started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was still morning. That's not to say that Big Brother Kishimoto still has time to sell the tickets. After all, there are still many people who don't know that Ryuzheng won't be competing in the night's game. ”
"That's right!"
Kishimoto suddenly realized, "As long as the eldest brother sells the ticket before the game starts, he won't lose 20,000 US dollars." No, I'm going to find my eldest brother and tell him the news. Otherwise, if he had known that I had known that I had not reported his loss of $20,000, he would have killed me. ”
After speaking, Kishimoto Kishi quietly left his seat, "Help me take a leave, I can't participate in this staff meeting." (To be continued.) )
