Shirakawa Kaede analyzes the various prospects for the future of personal computers from multiple angles, although Mazuka Daoyi does not immediately say anything.

However, he was already thinking about the focus of the computer business in the future, but it was related to the company's strategic goals, and this matter could only be discussed later.

"Shirakawa-san, we will consider your suggestion very much. But for now, the IBM industry event is the top priority. ”

"Of course" Shirakawa Kaede nodded without hesitation, "In short, please understand that if IBM has any unreasonable requests, SIC will strictly refuse!" ”

Although it may not be related to oneself, it is necessary to get vaccinated.

"Fujitsu and IBM have nothing to do with the leaks, and we will not agree with any of the other party's allegations."

Mazuka understood what he meant, so he quickly discussed countermeasures and unified his voice.

"In that case, the contemptible people are relieved." Shirakawa Kaede exchanged glances with the other party, which was considered to be an agreement.

Things are nowhere near that, and everyone is just preparing for a rainy day.

After all, it is a matter of the United States and IBM, and the pressure from the outside is not trivial.

At the same time, both sides also understand in their hearts that after this incident, Mi Guo's bad feelings towards neon have increased a little bit for sure.

In the future, we will also strictly guard against high-tech industries, and it may be much more difficult to obtain certain authorizations as easily as before.

It's an eventful time, there was a rust belt smashing neon cars in the past, and today there is another espionage case.

It is not difficult to imagine that the name neon must have become the object of all kinds of ridicule and discrimination in the United States.

What the reputation of neon is, Shirakawa Kaede doesn't care, he is just worried about whether his products will be affected.

After all, the size of the rice market is very large, and more than two-thirds of the profits of Shirakawa Electric are contributed by Lao Mi.

I hope that those red necks will turn against Japan, but for the sake of price, buy more Shirakawa Electric products.

After Shirakawa Kaede returned to Shirakawa Electric, in addition to dealing with the company's listing affairs, he has also been paying attention to the development of things.

And sure enough, in the next two days, the neon media were intensively reporting on the IBM industry leak.

Because of the conclusive evidence, the neon government could only bow its head and sign the agreement in the face of the arrest warrant submitted by the United States.

As a result, several behind-the-scenes executives who were involved in the espionage case were also arrested.

After a few days of fermentation, the number of arrests of Hitachi and Mitsubishi has reached as many as nine.

However, the unusually Hitachi and Mitsubishi did not make any announcements on this, only insisting that the club was investigating the matter.

Such a tough style made Bai Chuanfeng a little impressed, and it seemed that the other party did not intend to be caught just like that.

That's right, isn't this a good show? And with them in front, IBM shouldn't have the time to find trouble with Fujitsu.

In the next few days, as Shirakawa Kaede guessed, Hitachi was already preparing to organize a delegation to the United States to fight this transnational lawsuit.

Because the place of the case was in the United States, the venue of the trial was also placed in the federal court of San Francisco.

According to the information sent back by Shirakawa Electric's rice country branch, Hitachi's case was characterized as a criminal case.

But Hitachi did not plan to bow his head, in addition to the domestic lawyer team, it also spent a lot of money to form a luxury litigation team in the United States.

It is clear that Hitachi intends to be tough, because once the accusations of espionage are confirmed.

Not only IBM will demand huge compensation from him, but the US government will rectify him.

After repeated measurements, it was still the hardliners within Hitachi who prevailed.

For the sake of Hitachi's reputation and future business, everyone can only grit their teeth and persevere.

And because the case trial was held in the United States, in addition to a few major paper media doing follow-up reports on the spot, the heat began to decrease slightly because it had been a week since the incident.

In July, Shirakawa Electric's external audit was finally completed. Deloitte and Bimawei's audit reports, Shirakawa Kaede has already gotten.

There is no doubt that Shirakawa Electric is in a very healthy financial and operational position.

At the same time, the first persuasive bank and Nomura Securities, who received the report, also immediately urged Shirakawa Electric to start announcing the listing plan, audit report, IPO information and briefing.

This is the only way for a club to IPO, and the sooner it starts, the sooner the listing process can be completed.

After considering this, Shirakawa Electric also agreed to the suggestion of the first persuasion bank.

Taking advantage of the fact that the popularity of the Hitachi commercial espionage case has just decreased, it is the best choice to make a listing announcement during this window period.

Since you have chosen to go public, it is also the right thing to show your strength to the masses.

Otherwise, who will buy your shares, and who will cheer you on at the briefing?

So in the first two days of early July, Shirakawa Electric also issued various listing announcements that had been prepared for a long time.

Among them, the audit report is equivalent to the endorsement of a well-known third-party accounting firm, and with it, the prospectus of Shirakawa Electric has the basis of being trusted by shareholders.

In recent years, due to the lack of Internet, Shirakawa Electric's announcements could only be disseminated through television, newspapers, radio and other channels.

But despite this, Shirakawa's audit report still made the people who had been paying attention to him for a long time scream.

In the past, I didn't feel like I only bought Shirakawa Electric's products, after all, it was just a small walkman and handheld, and everyone could afford it.

But after reading the announcement, I realized that the profitability of Shirakawa Electric is so strong.

Look at the clubs that have already been listed, Sanyo, Vanguard, Aihua, Nintendo, none of them can compare to it.

According to Shirakawa Electric's profit last year, it is almost on a par with first-line brands such as Sharp, Casio, and Seiko Epson.

That's right, because of the dividends of the Walkman and the handheld, the profitability of Shirakawa Electric and these first-line manufacturers is almost the same.

Although the scale and volume are not as large as theirs, the masses don't care about them.

They only look at popularity and profitability, so the next listing plan and prospectus of Baichuan Electric made them compete for research.

This is the most direct way for them to participate in the day-to-day operation of this potential stock company, and it is the only way for them to profit from it.

In the lobby of the Oriental Stock Exchange, two bespectacled fathers were lying on the table and carefully studying the newspaper in their hands.

They are already old stockholders, especially after retiring in the past two years, with a generous pension and doing nothing all day.

So the Orient Stock Exchange has become a good place for them to spend their time, and they enjoy stock trading on the spot every day.

"Eh" Daddy Takahashi, who had gray hair, raised his head and rolled his eyes to look through the gap in his reading glasses.

"Yamaguchi, have you seen the prospectus of Shirakawa Electric?"

"See," Yamaguchi, who was still lying on the newspaper, stretched out his fingers and read word by word in the newspaper.

"Raising two or three hundred billion yuan is really a big deal."

Finally finished reading the newspaper in his hand, Yamaguchi lifted his hunched back slightly and sighed with emotion.

Daddy Takahashi explained in surprise, "This kind of technology-based enterprise spends a lot of money every time it invests in a technical research.

Look at each other's plans." He patted the newspaper in his hand, "The new storage technology is said to be much more powerful than floppy disks. ”

"Now, and," Daddy Takahashi continued to flip through the newspaper, "there is a new music player coming out this year, and the factory is going to be greatly expanded.

In addition, it is necessary to further develop the application of digital technology, and there are plans to lay out the layout in the field of communications.

Hmm~ It is also preparing to develop another piece of land in the port area as a future business center. It's all a lot of money~"

"That's what I said," Yamaguchi's financial newspaper reported.

"I just don't know if these technologies can be profitable in the future?" As a shareholder, Yamaguchi only pays attention to the operation of the company.

For him, if the business is doing well, the stock price will rise, and he can rest assured that he can speculate in stocks.

He didn't understand the technical field that Shirakawa Electric would invest in in the future, but he felt that buying land in the port area was a good choice.

Land prices in Tokyo have become more and more expensive in the past two years, so it is not unscrupulous to invest in real estate.

And when Daddy Takahashi heard Yamaguchi's question, he waved his hand indifferently.

"There's no need to worry about it, the business growth of such a new club is certain, no matter how high the stock price is, can it be higher than Fujitsu them?

As long as the issue price of Shirakawa Electric is lower than this, it is worth buying. ”

"That's right," Yamaguchi nodded in agreement.

They have been in the stock market for many years, and they know the stock prices of the same type of clubs as Shirakawa Electric well.

Sony and Panasonic are almost two thousand, and Shirakawa Electric will never be taller than them.

In the public prospectus, Shirakawa only announced the expected amount of financing, but did not announce the issue price.

After all, 700 yen is their financing valuation with the first persuasion bank, and the real issue price depends on market feedback.

Otherwise, where do leeks go to cut? First, how to sell the difference in the price of the stocks they underwrite?

Before the day the listing application was submitted, the issue price was top secret.

However, it is obvious that the ultra-high profit of Shirakawa Electric makes Takahashi's father full of confidence in this new stock.

And here in Shirakawa Electric, in addition to the listing announcement and prospectus, there is also a future plan also released.

After all, if you raise two or three hundred billion yen in a public offering, you always have to tell shareholders where you plan to spend the money in the future.

Scaling up production, R&D and innovation, marketing, mergers and acquisitions, and even paying off debt.

As long as there is a reasonable explanation, shareholders will approve of the financing.

Then they will also pay for stocks, and wait for the future when the company's profit and stock price rise, and then sell it to make a difference.

Financing, at this time, don't worry about whether it can be realized, just blow hard.

The harder the blow, the easier it is for shareholders to enter the market, otherwise how can their own stocks be raised.

This is the mutual cooperation between capital and leeks, staged every year, repeated every year.

Of course, Shirakawa Electric is not untargeted.

After all, when the company is newly listed, some promises still have to be fulfilled, otherwise leeks will not come in the future.

Half-truths and half-truths, it seems that there is something wrong, so that the leeks will heal their scars and forget the pain, and continue to enter the market in the future.

In addition to various announcements, Shirakawa Electric will also have a public briefing.

This is equivalent to the first large-scale IPO, and in addition to various media, there will be all kinds of investment institutions here in Neon.

For this briefing, Shirakawa Kaede has other ideas.

In previous years, July was the innovation period for Shirakawa Electric to release a new generation of products, but this year, such a press conference was postponed.

Kaede Shirakawa is going to put the release of the new product and the briefing together, which can be regarded as the first public press conference of Shirakawa Electric.

Promote your own products and sell stocks by the way.

In fact, for him personally, the pressure of stock issuance is not very great.

After all, 70% of the new shares have been covered by the first persuasion bank, and the remaining 30% will not be a problem to sell casually.

However, as the founder of the company, it is still necessary to build momentum for his own business.
