Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 427 Forcing the Palace

   Two days later, Masayoshi Kishimoto led Kazuya Takahashi, and Miku Yamada appeared at Horipro Office. This company's address is located at No. 2-5, Shimoguro 1-chome, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

   Prior to this, Yamada Mirai had notified the Horipro Board of Directors in the name of the Hard Gold Group that the shareholders requested to convene a high-level board meeting of the company.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi sat on his left with Kazuya Takahashi, the legal minister of his company, and on his right, with his secretary, Yamada Miku.

   Their expressions were very relaxed. In contrast, the existing shareholders of Horipro seem to be facing a formidable enemy. They both know each other that there will be big events happening within the company.

Among them, the most nervous person is Hori, the founder of Horipro, for fear that the company he has worked hard for decades will change owners, and eventually he will not be able to retire with peace of mind, and then he will not be able to spend his life. A most satisfying ending.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto is well aware that although HORIPRO prefers actors and variety shows, it used to be famous for having musicians such as Inoue Yosui, Hamada Shogo, and RCSECTION.

   The previous HORIPRO always chased behind Watanabe PRO, giving people the feeling of "the second child", but now the level of its artists has far surpassed Watanabe PRO.

The most special thing about HORIPRO is that it never relied on violent underworld gangs like the previous offices. Instead, it imitated Watanabe PRO to establish a clean image, and even hired staff who graduated from Waseda University to build an image. the reputation of a first-class firm.

After the    meeting officially started, Masayoshi Kishimoto was not in a hurry to speak, and patiently waited for the current chairman of Horipro Office, Mrs. Hori, to speak first.

It's not that   Wiffy Hori doesn't know that the biggest shareholder at the moment is not himself, but Masayoshi Kishimoto. Although the other party does not have absolute control, it is entirely possible to submit an application to the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the complete acquisition of Horipro.

   After all, Japanese law expressly stipulates that as long as any shareholder's shares exceed 30%, such a takeover request can be made. Of course, the other party can also persuade other shareholders here one by one to sell their stocks.

   The original purpose of listing Horipro on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was to raise more funds for the expansion and development of the company. Unexpectedly, this listing has been subject to a hostile takeover by others within a few years?

   Not only the shareholders of Horipro Studios are making plans one by one, but the artists under it are also continuing to wait and see. This is about Horipro's future strategic direction, and who will be valued and so on.

   "That's it, I don't have anything to say. It's up to President Kishimoto to speak!" Hori Takefu said with a feeling of being put on his neck by a knife.

   "Since President Hori is so polite, then I will do my part. I didn't want to talk to everyone in such a form.

   However, my original proposal was rejected by most of you. As for the reason, it is not without reason.

  Japanese generally like pure and cute-looking, petite women. Ayase Haruka just doesn't fit well with this Japanese tradition.

  The times are progressing and developing, and the way of thinking of people will change accordingly. In all fairness, all of you here still like hot and tall women in your heart.

  If Horipro wants to go out of the Japanese market and lead Asia, it must also consider the preference of other Asian countries for female stars rather than the petite size that the Japanese like. "Kishimoto said without rushing or slowing down.

  The other shareholders present here, as well as Hori Wiff, do not believe that Masayoshi Kishimoto took a lot of trouble to acquire the stock of Horipro on the Tokyo Stock Exchange through the hard gold capital of the hard gold group just to bring Ayase Haruka to the top. They believe more that this is just an excuse for the other party.

   "As for the high-sounding words, you don't need to talk about it. You can directly say your ultimate goal!" Hori was very helpless at the moment.

   Even if he died in his arms, he had to die standing up. What I am most unwilling to do is that the Horipro Office, which I created by myself, is about to die.

   He can unite with other shareholders to fight against Justice Kishimoto, but this is only a theoretical possibility. Besides yourself, how much affection do other people have for Horipro?

   Their primary purpose is to make money, and they even want Kishimoto to buy the stock of Horipro from him at a premium to make a fortune.

   "President Hori, you really misunderstood my intentions. I still have considerable respect for you from the bottom of my heart. The purpose of my increase in the stock of Horipro is not a hostile takeover at all.

The name   Horipro Office can be completely retained, and you can continue to serve as the chairman again.

   This time limit is not more than two years. In this way, you can also walk beautifully, without leaving the outside world with the impression of being forced into a palace.

   In addition, my proposal is for Shingo Oda, who is currently the president of Horipro Office, to take your place in the future.

After   , your eldest son, Kazuki, will be chosen as the vice-chairman of the board of directors. The president is your second son, Yoshiki. " Kishimoto said eloquently.

   "You and Oda Shingo have all figured it out, right!" Hori Takefu's old eyes looked directly at Oda Shingo. He never imagined that the person who stabbed himself with a knife in the back would be him.

   "Say something unpleasant. You're old, it's time to retire. Otherwise, the people behind will have little chance.

  In the personnel arrangement, your two sons also hold important positions in the company, which is considered to be a great respect for the seniors. Of course, you really do not accept such an arrangement, let's talk about it. " Kishimoto said bluntly.

  Hori Weifu said with a half-smile, "You are a major shareholder, you can find a reason to carry out an appointment and dismissal at any time."

   "Since you think I'm a villain so wholeheartedly, then I'll be a villain once and for all. Horipro will be merged into Hard Gold Media." Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.

   As soon as these words came out, some people on the board of directors immediately started to discuss. After all, it is still necessary to carry out an annexation of Horipro Office.

   "Everyone, be quiet and listen to what you have said!" Kazuya Takahashi took the initiative to maintain order.

   So, they gradually quieted down, wanting to hear what Masayoshi Kishimoto has to say later.

"I will not harm your interests. There are two options for you to choose. One is to directly sell the stock of Horipro in your hands to Hard Gold Media, and the other is to sell the shares of Horipro in your hands. The stock is discounted in exchange for the shares of Hard Gold Media." Masayoshi Kishimoto is serious.
