Chapter 521: No One Left Behind
Although everyone at Shirakawa Electric on the stage was extremely angry, this was how the shareholders' meeting was.
Any shareholder who holds a certain proportion of shares is eligible to participate in the shareholders' meeting of listed companies.
This is their legitimate right protected by law, and if they have any objections to the company's decisions, they can raise them openly at the meeting.
As the only way for shareholders to participate in corporate operations, this is also protected by rules.
As the decision-maker, although everyone at Shirakawa Electric was very angry, they had to respond to the doubts.
Otherwise, if the opinions of shareholders are ignored, market reputation will plummet and stock prices will be affected.
This is the principle behind the open and transparent operation of listed companies, and it must be ensured at least at shareholders' meetings.
Seeing Ogawa Fumio's serious look in a suit, Hasegawa glared at him but did not interrupt him.
There are nearly 10,000 people in the auditorium, and so many people are watching, so we have to save face.
"So, Mr. Ogawa, what do you think about this?"
As the host of the meeting, Hasegawa still maintained his composure well.
Ogawa Fumio sneered, "30 billion yen~ Why invest so much in research and development?
Don’t you know what business is the most profitable out there? Of course it’s real estate development!”
After saying this, Ogawa Xun turned around suddenly and looked at the people in the conference hall.
“Everyone, it’s been 1990, and there are still companies that spend the effort to make products?
With this investment, if you buy two plots of land in Tokyo, their value will double by next year.
That is 100% profit. If you invest 300 billion, it will be 600 billion next year!
There's so much money, there's no way we can divide it all up!"
Ogawa Fumio's call with a Hiroshima accent was unusually loud in the lobby.
With those open arms, it's really very seductive.
Are land prices in Tokyo rising? Of course they are!
Living in the bubble era, many people here have personally experienced the appreciation of land value.
News about someone getting rich by trading land appears around us every now and then.
Therefore, when many people heard Fumio Ogawa's suggestion of using the company's money to invest in real estate, they were actually quite tempted.
They can't afford to buy a house themselves, but Shirakawa Electric can.
As its shareholder , of course, you can also share some of the appreciation interest from the appreciation of the land.
Besides, in this era, is there any company that doesn’t speculate in stocks or land?
There are millions of companies of all sizes in Japan, and almost all of them, as long as they are strong enough, will set up a financial investment department within themselves.
This department does nothing but stock trading and real estate investment.
Panasonic and Sanyo all do this, so why can't Shirakawa Electric do the same?
Bewitched by him , everyone in the hall couldn't help but whisper to each other and began to discuss in whispers.
As if he felt that his words were not shocking enough, Ogawa Fumio turned around and looked at Shirakawa Feng and others on the stage with mocking eyes.
"Doing business in the golden age is something only fools would do!"
Swish! Hasegawa stood up and wanted to refute something, but Baichuan Feng stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Let me answer this question." Baichuan Feng picked up the microphone in front of him and responded calmly.
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Shirakawa Feng, and I am the current president of Shirakawa Electric."
With just these few words, the lobby, which had just been buzzing, immediately became quiet.
Shirakawa Kaede~Nemon's youngest chaebol leader and a legend in the business world.
The legend about him has been sung countless times, and when everyone heard him in person, they subconsciously perked up.
Everyone unconsciously admires him for being able to build the huge Shirakawa Empire.
"As to why Shirakawa Electric puts so much effort into research and development but does not invest in real estate, the answer is actually very simple."
Baichuan Feng held the microphone in his hand with a calm look, yet with a hint of persistence.
“Because Shirakawa is a technology company, not a real estate company.
The core competitiveness of Shirakawa Electric lies in its innovation in electronic technology. Shirakawa Electric's products are sold all over the world and are involved in every aspect of people's lives.
As one of the top three electronic technology companies in Japan, Shirakawa Electric has been able to grow to its current level because of its long-term investment in research and development.
The reason why the Shirakawa Electric brand is remembered by so many people all over the world is because of its technology, not real estate!
There are thousands of real estate companies, but there is only one Shirakawa Electric!
I can guarantee here that whenever the world needs technology, Shirakawa Electric will not stop its research and development. "
Baichuan Feng's words were powerful and he was telling everyone clearly.
No matter how much money real estate makes, Shirakawa Electric will not forget its foundation.
Putting the cart before the horse, giving up your core competitiveness and getting into real estate?
Are you kidding me? How is that different from suicide?
It’s great to see this creative person stick so firmly to his business philosophy.
Regardless of whether the people in the hall agreed or not, their admiration for the courage to stick to their original aspirations was enough.
Wow! Warm applause began to echo in the lobby.
Yes, when people mention Shirakawa Electric, they think of all kinds of electronic products.
It would be really strange if it were allowed to engage in real estate.
Seeing that his questions did not stump the other party, Ogawa Fumio did not take it seriously. They had plenty of time.
"Next year..."
"I object!"
"Shirakawa Electric..."
"I object!"
In this way, every time Hasegawa announced a resolution, someone would come out to oppose it.
Especially during the shareholder Q&A session, Shirakawa Electric felt very angry when seeing the hands being raised continuously.
That is to never compromise with the General Association. If there are any questions, I will answer them, but I will never admit defeat.
This time, there were hundreds of people dispatched from the headquarters, and their intention was to disrupt the order of the meeting.
In this way, neither side gave in, one hour, two hours, three hours...
The shareholders' meeting of Shirakawa Electric continued until dark.
In addition to Hasegawa himself, Shirakawa Kaede, Arai Yu and others took turns to explain all the questions one by one.
Because it took too long, many ordinary shareholders could not bear it and have already exited early.
But only the reporters still held their ground, because they knew that today's meeting must be the most special shareholders' meeting in Neon's history, and it would create a historical record.
Finally, late at night in the early hours of the morning, the people in the clubhouse raised their hands for the last time.
However, the person who raised his hand to ask a question suddenly didn't know what to ask.
Because after more than ten hours, all the questions that could be asked were asked.
The raising of his hand just now was just a subconscious action. He saw that half of the remaining shareholders in the meeting hall were still looking at him.
The little thug from the General Club suddenly shrank his neck and said, "I... I have no problem now."
Shirakawa Kaede and the others didn't take it seriously and still looked at Ogawa Fumio in the audience with high morale.
Although they hadn't eaten a single bite of food the whole day and only drank some water, no one backed down due to their belief in victory.
They want to tell everyone that the reason why Shirakawa Electric is called Shirakawa Electric is because it has an invincible heart!
Pa~pa~, sudden applause rang out in the hall, "Very good, today I finally got to see the style of Shirakawa Electric."
Xiaochuan Xun stood up slowly and looked at Baichuan Feng leisurely, "Everyone, see you later~"
After saying that, he turned around and left the huge hall with a large group of people.
Huh~ Watching them go away, Hasegawa beside him subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Baichuan Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, then stood up and left the hall.
"Shirakawa-san!~", "Shirakawa-san!" A large group of reporters swarmed over and wanted to follow.
However, Kojima and Hasegawa stopped them and said, "It's already one in the morning, and Shirakawa-san hasn't eaten yet. Please understand."
When the reporters heard them say this, they suddenly realized that more than ten hours had passed since the shareholders' meeting.
Seeing that Baichuan Feng had disappeared at the door, the reporters looked at each other and ran out again.
Hurry back and write the article, they have booked tomorrow’s headlines in advance!
…
In the parking lot of the meeting hall, as soon as Baichuan Feng got into the car, his face turned gloomy.
"Notify Ota to come over now!" The murderous voice made the atmosphere in the car three points colder.
An hour later, in a secret office, Shirakawa Kaede and Ota sat opposite each other.
"Mr. Shirakawa, please tell me if you have any instructions." Ota looked murderous, his eyes occasionally flashing coldly in the darkness.
He had already heard about what happened during the day. If it weren't for Bai Feng's order, he would have set off long ago.
"Do you have any cigarettes?" Shirakawa Kaede's tone was unexpectedly calm and somewhat disturbing.
"Huh?" Ota was stunned.
But he quickly reacted and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.
Opening the hard packaging, Shirakawa Feng randomly pulled out a cigarette from the neatly arranged cigarettes.
As soon as I put it under my lips, an orange-red flame lit up.
Turning around, Ota looked nervous and was looking at him cautiously.
With a light chuckle, Baichuan Feng moved closer to the flame and took a deep breath.
Cough~ cough~, as the pungent smell rushed into his nasal cavity, Baichuan Feng couldn't help coughing.
Sure enough, the first time I smoked, I couldn’t avoid choking.
"Forget it~" Baichuan Feng self-deprecatingly put the cigarette he had just lit back into the ashtray.
"Shirakawa-san..." Ota looked at him worriedly.
Baichuan Feng raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"Are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"
"Yeah!" Ota nodded vigorously.
"Huh~" Baichuan Feng stood up, walked to the window, and took a deep breath.
"From now on, monitor the whereabouts of the top leaders of the General Association around the clock, and then wait for an opportunity."
"Waiting for an opportunity?"
"Wait for them all to gather together~"
Ota's eyes widened slightly.
Baichuan Feng, with his hands in his pockets, stood by the window, turning his head slightly, and the dark moon was dimly lit.
"Then leave no one behind~"
The calm but cold look in his eyes made Ota's body tremble slightly.
Was it excitement or nervousness? Ota didn't know.
But he knew that this was definitely not fear!
Is it finally time to do something big? It's been a long time since I've done anything.
While Ota was lost in thought, Shirakawa Feng turned around, patted him on the shoulder and said with concern.
"Remember, don't take risks!
You can use any means, any method, and leave the rest to me!"
"Huh!" With these words, Ota felt more at ease.
Usually, he would be in charge of the work and Baichuan Feng would clean up the mess for him. This was not the first time they had worked together.
Otherwise, given the violent means that Ota has used over the years to interrogate people, he would have been sent to the Metropolitan Police Department long ago.
The clubhouse, Japan doesn't need such a radical existence.
And is Shirakawa Kaede's target really the General Association House?
No! A Yakuza is not worth his concern.
He wanted bigger and more.
His eyes turned slightly, and under the dark moon, Kabuto-machi in the central district was still brightly lit.
As the neon Wall Street, even the darkness cannot conceal the golden light it emits.
The bubble era should end.
