Chapter 65: The Layout of Economic Ghost Animals (II)
"I've seen some information before, the boss wants to delist, and the citation center doesn't allow it to set up many obstacles, and then I heard that there is a person surnamed Liu who is studying in Japan, and he took advantage of the loopholes in the imperial law to help him complete the delisting."
"Then at that time, the boss of Shina wanted to go to Shencheng to be listed after delisting from Tokyo, why did this matter drag on like this?"
"This, I also think it's strange, I think it's probably because he was hit by too much setback and collapsed." Kojima turned the oz cup in his hand and replied unconfidently.
"Oh, and where did that kind person surnamed Liu go?"
"Said it died accidentally"
"Hahahahahaha, yes, yes, I'm not wrong, you have to know that in order to get you out of the sixth lesson, I have spent a lot of time, although that group of bureaucrats don't take a Shaozuo seriously, but they also know that this is something that the elite can't give to others casually. Well, it looks like I'm investing in the right place."
"Senpai?"
"Well, after asking you so much, you should be annoyed. In return, I'll tell you a little secret, which not many people know so far, at least in the land of China, only you and I will know, you put the wine glass on the coffee table first. ”
Kojima's face was full of doubts, but he still did what he said.
"That person surnamed Liu is sitting in front of you at the moment...
"Ah" Rao was mentally prepared Kojima Hidemitsu was still shocked, as if he had seen a ghost, looking at Sakurai. The latter seemed to be very satisfied that his remarks had the expected effect, Shi Shiran stood up and handed the wine glass back to Xiao Dao, "Are you scolding in your heart, this ghost beast is digging the corner of the imperial country?" ”
"Don't dare. Don't dare" Kojima hurriedly got up, in the Japanese society where the upper and lower monuments are extremely strict, there is no way for the superior to stand and the subordinate to lean on the sofa. Sakurai pressed his shoulder, "I don't mind these false courtesies, but why do I do this, this is the second small test for the senior, don't worry, you can think slowly, there is enough time today." ”
After speaking, he walked to the table with his own wine glass, refilled the half-empty glass, the amber liquid churned in the glass, Sakurai brought the glass to his nose and took a deep breath, "It's so fragrant, Kojima-kun, the imperial kingdom is too small and too poor, taking sake as an example, there are only two kinds of sake, sake and shochu." And the number of varieties of Chinese wine... "Hey," he sighed deeply.
"At that time, the predecessors probably thought that it would not be possible to prevent the Great Wall Cotton Spinning Company from delisting by relying on government agencies alone, so they simply took the trust of the people of China to help them operate the delisting, and then took the opportunity to make some arrangements in it?" Kojima's brow twisted into a Sichuan character.
But because of some unexpected factors, there may be some problems with the senior's plan, or some small flaws are found by the other party, so the predecessor simply arranges an accident that seems to have a political background, first, to deepen his trust in his predecessor to make up for these flaws, and secondly, a golden cicada comes out of its shell, so that this matter can come to an end, and future generations can't start even if they want to track it down. Yes, it must be so," Kojima began to speak.
"Since the delisting plan is from the hands of the seniors, and the seniors must also be secretly supporting, the fake death of the seniors also gave the Zhi Na people great pressure, at that time, they just wanted to understand the matter quickly so that they could leave the empire, so the delisting was completed smoothly, and when they returned to China, they probably found that the hands and feet left by the predecessors were very difficult to deal with. But out of face, I'm embarrassed to say it clearly, after all, the newspaper praised them as national heroes of wisdom and bravery, and it is not so easy to go up and down, not to mention that sometimes they can't help themselves. Senior, the destruction of his family after that was also your handiwork, right? ”
"Cheers" Sakurai reached out to Kojima, who quickly clinked glasses with him.
"What do you mean by my predecessors, I got it right?"
This sentence is really Chinese, the imperial warriors have always paid attention to one saying and two sayings, right is right and wrong is wrong, and only the person of Zhi Na is clearly right, and he insists on being polite, which is unreasonable. But as an intelligence officer, you are very qualified, not only do you know the customs of China, but your guess is basically correct. Especially if you guessed my thoughts and thoughts, "Since it is useless to delay, then it is better to simply continue the opportunity to help them and secretly install some favorable conditions for us." ””
At that time, Sakurai found the boss of the Great Wall as Liu and told him that he wanted to delist directly, although it is legally permissible, but due to the actual situation, the Tokyo Reference Office, as a management agency, will definitely pick his nose and set up various terms to delay, and it is not impossible to delay it for a few years.
However, after reviewing the relevant legal documents, he found that it was troublesome for the equity company to withdraw, but if it was only to issue bonds to convert the company's equity into bonds, it would be much more convenient to withdraw. So he spread the relevant legal provisions in front of the boss of the Great Wall, who was anxious about it, and saw that the willows were bright. Suddenly thought that he had met a nobleman, so he handed over all the things to Sakurai.
And Sakurai did have two moves, through a public process to convert all equity into convertible bonds. Convertible bonds are a very special kind of bonds, their basic coupon rate is very low, if the general bond is 5% a year, the convertible bond is only 2% or even lower, but it can be converted into shares at an agreed price after maturity or directly split part of the equity.
Shortly after Sakurai converted the shares into convertible bonds and launched them on the market, he bought them back and wrote them off through the secondary market. In this way, it is equivalent to delisting without delisting, but he secretly played a trick in the operation, locking 20,000 of the convertible bonds as non-cancelable and permanently valid at maturity around the world at the time of conversion, which means that even if the Great Wall Cotton Spinning Company goes public in the United States, Sakurai can still own about 20% of its equity through convertible bonds.
The boss of the Great Wall did not find out about this problem at first, and when he found out, the whole plan was already in progress, and there was no turning back, and he had already made a bold statement to withdraw from the East, and said that everything went smoothly and victory was just around the corner.
And Sakurai has already had a countermeasure to this, he said that this 20% is a convertible bond set date in 5 years, and it will not affect it for a while, and secondly, these convertible bonds are used to play up and down the Japanese officialdom and politics, otherwise things can be done so quickly?
Seeing that the boss was suspicious of himself, he simply arranged an accident that seemed to involve various dissatisfied forces in order to completely appease the Great Wall cotton spinning side, and the result was indeed as he expected, the boss of the Great Wall continued to run along the road he designated under the domination of internal and external troubles and guilt about his "death".
In the end, under his serial strategy, the company was successfully delisted, and after the boss of the Great Wall returned to the mainland, he always felt that the 20% of the equity was a thunderbolt. I also gave up the idea of going public again.
At this time, Sakurai was already studying at Yale, but he still used his family connections to get rid of the boss's family through the intelligence agency in China, and gradually eliminated the relevant insiders.
"The predecessors are really talented, and they can think of such a careful plan back then, but just for this 20% equity?" Kojima asked curiously.
"Indeed, it's for the 20%"
"But..." Kojima is really confused, how do you think that his top boss is not those mediocre bureaucrats, but it seems a bit unreasonable to waste so much effort for 20% of the equity of a medium-sized enterprise?
"Kojima-kun, don't think too much about me, at the beginning, I felt that participating was indeed to obtain equity, but not for myself, but for the future. You also know that the imperial kingdom is too small, and one day it will want to expand externally, and who is the main force of expansion? Navy! Who are the pioneers of expansion? Intelligence agent! But the empire is still poor, and the whole country is overwhelmed by the annual military spending, but the British and American ghosts are still building ships. In order to compete with them, the navy must also expand, and the warships are all gold-swallowing monsters, and thousands of dollars have been thrown into it to have today's 88 fleet. But the army's herd of red deer is still competing with us for resources, and even creating the Siemens incident to secretly deal with the navy. So my idea at that time was very simple, take advantage of the legal loopholes, and then leave a little equity as a fund for our future development. The cost of building warships is still spent on the surface, and it is really not possible to let the Minister of the Navy go to the Congress to sprinkle and cry poor, but he can still ask for a little money, and if it doesn't work, isn't there still any juniors who can go to the next gram? What the Kwantung Army can do, the Navy will only do better. ”
Sakurai took a sip of the drink in his glass and continued, "But what about the cost of intelligence? We live in the dark, and frankly it's not hard to get the budget from legal sources, but it just causes us to automatically show ourselves under the mercury lamp before we go to war with the enemy. The Anglo-American ghost animals, tyrannical branches, etc., all have hatred for the empire. Our exposure only makes them ecstatic. You must know that General Nagaoka Gaishi gave General Akashi a huge sum of 1 million yen to be deployed without asking, and it will never happen again. So I have to think about the future."
"The predecessors were very thoughtful. Kojima admires" is so, but Kojima's slightly depressed expression can't hide the veteran Sakurai.
"Young man, don't be discouraged, or if you want to be discouraged, at least wait until I have finished speaking. It was for money, but now it's not entirely for money? ”
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't sit idle while sending you out on a mission, on the one hand, I asked others to open a large number of accounts in several exchanges in Shencheng as a Zhina, divided into two kinds, one can easily find out the relationship with the Manchurian Railway or other imperial institutions, this kind of account is mainly responsible for speculating on the price of the Great Wall stock. You must know that although the Great Wall Cotton Spinning Company is not large, it has now become the representative of the cotton spinning industry in China under the instigation of nationalist sentiments, and other major cotton spinning companies are also listed in Shencheng, so the fluctuations in the cotton spinning sector will affect the fluctuations of the entire China stock market. ”
"That other part of the accounts, the ones that can't be found on our heads, are your real weapons of war?" Kojima's face was full of excitement because he smelled the smell of conspiracy, the most coveted smell of every spy agent.
"Yes, I've been doing all kinds of calculations in the office all this time, and it almost makes me feel emaciated, but I got the data I wanted," Sakurai pointed to his desk, and Kojima looked like it was full of documents and notes. "The 20% stake in my hand is suddenly thrown out in a certain period, which will pull down the number of points in the textile sector, and then how many points will be lowered when it spreads to the entire market. Luckily I figured it out. And then on these dark accounts, a large number of short positions in stock index futures have been laid out! When the stock price of the Great Wall reaches 50 yuan per share, it can be launched, and the short selling of the Great Wall causes the cotton spinning sector to fall, and the cotton spinning has driven the entire market. This is enough to cause the whole market to stampede each other! ”
Kojima suddenly showed an expression that he didn't understand very well but felt very powerful, after all, he had only learned some economic and financial knowledge in Etajima. "So, when the time is ripe, the seniors will go directly to the exchange and sell the 20% equity?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey" Sakurai suddenly sneered, "I'm a ghost animal, a combination of hungry ghost dao and beast dao, just throw out the equity, tsk, this approach is too simple, how can I get my hard work and nickname for so many years?" ”
Kojima Ling Ling shuddered, and at this moment Sakurai's face was hideous and terrifying, and his facial features were twisted and huddled together.
