v13 Chapter 55: Robert Taki's proposal

"Ah... It's rare that President Hosokawa still remembers our flower cage house!"

"Mom Sang, it's been a long time since I came to disturb you. This is a little bit of my intention. Please don't dislike it!"

Hosokawa Kiyomi greeted the flower cage house's mother, San Yaki, and took a large bouquet of flowers from his secretary and gave them to him.

"Oh...it's rare that Mr. Hosokawa still remembers my preferences, by the way. I haven't had time to congratulate you on becoming the president. I must take care of the store in the future!"

"Mom Sang is joking, I should ask you to take care of me!" ..

……

After chatting a few words with the mother Sang of Hualongwu, I took him to a box. At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties who had been waiting here hurriedly stood up. He came, bowed his head and bowed to Hosokawa Qingwen.

"I didn't expect President Hosokawa to come here. I'm really grateful. It's the first time we met, and if there is anything wrong with the reception, please don't dislike it!"

"This is Mr. Robert Taki. I have been begging me to introduce him to you. Today, everyone finally has time to get together. You must have a few more drinks, President Hosokawa!"

Seeing that Robert Taki got up to welcome Kiyomi Mashosokawa's arrival, his mother Sanya hurriedly introduced him to Hosokawa. Hosokawa Kiyofumi raised his head and looked at the other party a little, then smiled and stretched out his hand, and shook it with Robert Taki.

"What are you two going to drink today? Wine? Whiskey?"

"What does President Hosokawa like to drink, but I heard that you are an expert in whisky!"

"There...there, only occasionally when I feel tired from work, I drink a little to make myself sleep better."

Just as Robert Taki was attentive and close to Hosokawa Kiyofumi, Aki picked up a few whiskey glasses from the wine table in front of him with a smile, and then used an ice clip to pick up a whole piece of round ice. put in a cup.

A bottle of Macallan's 20-year-old commemorative whisky sells for as high as 270,000 yen in the market, and the price here in the flower cage house is five times that outside. Robert Taki took the just-opened bottle of wine from his mother-san, and then filled a glass for Hosokawa Kiyomi himself. took a sip.

"Ah... It's a rare opportunity to have a long talk with President Hosokawa. I'm really happy today. Toshima Construction has always been the Japanese company I respect the most. If there is any opportunity for everyone to work together in the future , I will definitely help you in the future!"

"Ha... Mr. Taki is very kind. We, Toshima Construction, are just a traditional construction contractor. So far, there seems to be no precedent for cooperating with a fund company like you!"

"However, I seem to have seen in the newspapers that your company and the previous main bank, the Tokyo Central Bank, are a little unhappy! Speaking of which, these big banks in Japan are really harsh? If Toshima Construction really has funds If you have other needs, why don't you ask President Hosokawa to also consider our Riverbed Fund by the way?"

"Hearing Robert Taki's sudden and direct explanation of his intentions, President Hosokawa couldn't help feeling a little abrupt. He first put down the wine glass in his hand, and then sat there quietly, carefully looking at the other party."

"Eh? Mr. Taki, you are really a kind and enthusiastic person! However, large companies here are usually accustomed to financing from the main bank that they are familiar with. But the head of Shirakawa is really heartless this time, I must be President Hosokawa. You must be very distressed now!"

"To be honest, there is indeed a huge demand for funds in Toshima Construction. These days, I have been looking for a partner who can replace the Tokyo Central Bank. However, the River Plate Fund represented by Mr. Taki, I have I have heard of it, but I have no experience in cooperating with a company like yours. Speaking of which, Toshima Construction is an enterprise mainly engaged in construction project contracting. And the required funds are often astronomical. Before the entire project is officially accepted, we can basically only use the funds raised by ourselves to pay for all the up-front costs. For enterprises like us, it is often difficult to attract Companies like the Canal Fund that are "good at capital operation!" "

Hosokawa Kiyofumi spoke euphemistically, but Robert Taki still understood what he meant. Toshima Construction is not a company that can make quick money. On the contrary, Toshima Construction will take up a lot of money for a long time. If the Canal Fund expects to make money from Toshima Construction, it is really a mistake. idea.

"I heard that Toshima Construction is also interested in bidding for the Chuo Shinkansen project, isn't it?"

"Hey, on this point, this is the project we are trying our best to strive for, but because of funding, we are still facing many difficulties!"

"President Hosokawa, if Toshima Construction is willing to accept investment from the Riverbed Fund~lightnovelpub.net~ the funding problem your company faces may no longer be a problem!"

"What do you mean?"

"President Hosokawa, your company is currently facing huge financial problems, and the losses caused by the Naizhi high-speed rail project cannot be made up overnight. Even if your company does win the contract for the central shinkansen in jr East Japan, it may be necessary to It will take decades to slowly make up for the loss of the Nazg Kingdom project. Wouldn't your company be willing to consider other solutions? For your company, it may be more expensive to introduce new strategic investors Let’s find the fundamental solution for society to get out of the debt crisis!”

"Is the Riverbed Fund trying to become the owner of Toshima Construction?"

"Hey, we hope to acquire 40% of your company's shares and occupy a corresponding seat on the board of directors. As for the conditions? If Toshima Construction accepts our acquisition conditions, then our Riverbed Fund is willing to serve as your company's debt guarantee. , to help your company restore all cooperation with the Central Bank of Tokyo!"

"Conditions? What conditions do you have!"

"20% layoffs, and our proposed plan for Toshima Construction's private placement to specific investors!"

"20% layoff? Do you know how many employees Toshima Construction has? 20% layoff means that more than 20,000 employees will lose their jobs. I'm sorry, this condition is too harsh!"

Hearing this condition put forward by the other party, Hosokawa Kiyofumi immediately raised an objection.

"President Hosokawa, there is no perfect plan in this world. Sometimes, only by sacrificing the interests of a small number of people can most people live better!"
