v13 Chapter 58: barbarian at the door

"Riverbed Fund? What the hell?"

"It seems to be a well-known foreign fund. It seems that the shares of Toshima Construction have been saved!"

"But... why would anyone want to jump into the fire pit built in Toshima at this time?"

"Who knows, those guys in the fund company are all shrewd, can't they see that Toshima Construction is a fire pit? There must be some logic to make money here!"

……

Just when the plant owners in the audience were discussing the acquisition of the shares of Toshima Construction by Riverbed Fund. On the stage, Hosokawa Kiyomi sensed a bad premonition. Unexpectedly, the Riverbed Fund started work without waiting for a reply from the Toshima Construction Board of Directors. Why are they so anxious?

"Wait a minute, why don't we know about the transfer of shares in Toshima Construction by the Central Bank of Tokyo?"

Seeing the excitement in the audience, Hosokawa felt that this matter should not be so simple, so he hurriedly picked up the microphone and directly questioned Robert Taki, who had just announced the news.

"This matter was just negotiated last night by Specialist Shirakawa and I. It has been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Tokyo early this morning. From now on, the River Plate Fund will take over the Central Bank of Tokyo by acquiring debt and equity. We have all the shares of Toshima Construction in our hands...and, in order to show our sincerity in the acquisition, Riverbed has also formulated a thorough reform plan to help Toshima Construction out of the current crisis..."

"The River Plate Fund is great!"

"Now Toshima Construction will be saved!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely support the reform plan proposed by the River Plate Fund!"

……

When many investors in the audience regarded the Riverbed Fund as the savior of Toshima construction, some other big plant owners except the Central Bank of Tokyo were all watching the development of the situation indifferently. Although the equity before Toshima Construction seems to be very scattered, it has always been firmly controlled by the Toshima family and some other companies that have a cooperative relationship with Toshima Construction. For these important plant owners of Toshima Construction, the Riverbed Fund's behavior this time, although seemingly generous, is actually a very rude and barbaric act.

Among the first major shareholders of Toshima Construction, the concerted action represented by the Toshima family occupied 12.5% ​​of the shares of Toshima Construction, while the second largest shareholder, the Central Bank of Tokyo, originally held about 10% of the shares. The rest, including Jinchuan Building Materials, Otomo Heavy Industries, Kanda Steel, Shinkawa Department Store and other companies that have close cooperation with Toshima Construction, also hold considerable shares of Toshima Construction. For this reason, although the domestic construction project contracting industry market is shrinking year by year, these companies related to Toshima Construction have been secretly taking care of Toshima Construction.

The companies that have long held shares in Toshima Construction collectively hold about 43.7% of the shares, while the remaining shares are all scattered among various institutional and individual investors. In addition, there are some bonds that can be converted into shares issued by Toshima Construction that have always been in the hands of the Central Bank of Tokyo. If you count those, the River Plate Fund may now hold about 11% of the The equity of Toshima Construction has almost caught up with the shares held by the Toshima family that were left by the founder of Toshima Construction.

"President Hosokawa, this time, because of the sudden incident, I made my own decisions before notifying you to the board of directors. I'm here to say sorry to you next time!"

"Wait a minute, what's the reason for your interest in Toshima Construction? The 20% layoff is something that the board of directors and I cannot accept anyway."

"20% layoff?"

"No way, so many people are going to be laid off!"

"It's great, the financial pressure on Toshima construction will definitely be relieved a lot!"

……

Hearing that Hosokawa Kiyofumi made a claim that the Riverbed Fund plans to let Toshima Construction lay off 20% of its staff. Those plant owners who had been quiet under the stage once again had a heated discussion. Most of the small and medium shareholders applauded the drastic reform measures of River Plate Fund, while those important plant owners who have long held shares in Toshima Construction glanced at each other and took a reservation attitude towards the plan of River Plate Fund. .

After all, among the main owners of Toshima Construction, in addition to the Tokyo Central Bank, a financial company, other important investors include Jinchuan Building Materials, Otomo Heavy Industries, Kanda Steel, and Shinkawa Department Store, all of which rely on business operations for a living. , The leaders of these enterprises are well aware of what layoffs by 20% mean for Toshima Construction. If nothing else, the first people to be laid off by the River Plate Fund must be those old employees in their 50s and 60s who are about to retire and receive corporate annuities. Most of these people receive a lot of salaries because of their age, but On the contrary, they are not as aggressive as those younger people with lower salaries. Although in the eyes of those lay investors, these people should be regarded as a burden on the club~lightnovelpub.net~, but only the president who is really familiar with the industry will understand that everyone has an old day, and only by protecting those who go up The interests of the older members can make those young members feel at ease to dedicate their lives in the enterprise. This is something that financiers who only read numbers will never understand.

"Please be quiet... Although our plan does include layoffs, the reason why we do this is so that the bloated Toshima Construction can get rid of its burden and move forward lightly. Including this encounter At the time of the high-speed rail crisis, if the reform plan we propose can be approved by the board of directors, the Riverbed Fund will provide a guarantee for Toshima Construction, and the Central Bank of Tokyo will reconsider its cooperation with Toshima Construction.”

……

"It seems... that Mr. Robert Taki from the River Plate Fund finally made his move!"

Sitting in the last row of the venue, Lin Xiuyi and his subordinates watched the big show with cold eyes, thinking secretly what was brewing behind all this.

"Police! So, the reason why Riverbed Fund suddenly bought shares in Toshima Construction may have something to do with Takeshita Public Works Store."

"It seems to be the case, but we still don't know what the plan is between the Takeshita Public Works Store and the Riverbed Fund! But I did a little research on the Shirakawa Specialist, and he seems to be with the Takeshita Public Works Store's Mori. Is the specialization the same class of Dongda University?"

"Police, do you really want to acquire Toshima Construction... the smallest Takeshita Public Works Store among the five major constructions?"

Miki asked Lin Xiu with some uncertainty. u
