The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 337 An unexpected decision

Although this approach would also affect the company's reputation, it was much better than the serious impact of the previous one. And at present, apart from this method, they really couldn't come up with a better idea for the time being.

As for the people who should take the blame, everyone tacitly targeted Keld Hayes, Tim Richard and others who were sent to Longguo and Goryeo on missions but ended up messing things up.

……

After making up his mind, Henry Scott quickly gave instructions to his assistant Ashley Moore, requiring Caird Hayes, Tim Richard and others who were still in Asia to return to the country as soon as possible to report on their work.

Ashley Moore agreed without hesitation, but she was also complaining in her heart. They had clearly made plans to let them take the blame, but they still used this reason to let the other party fall into the trap. It was really too dark!
……

JPMorgan Chase, Office of the President.

When his subordinates reported to Nacho Morgan with the relevant news reports from AOL, Nacho Morgan showed a meaningful smile on his face, "The biggest reason why they suffered such a fate is because of their own greed!"

"If they hadn't been obsessed with the issue of the suspected infringement of the instant messaging software developed by the Internet companies in Asia, how could they have been counterattacked by the other party and lost their composure?"

Hearing his boss say this, Noel Bronson couldn't help but recall that a few months ago, Nacho Morgan asked him to go to AOL and say hello to them, and ask them not to continue pursuing the issue of software infringement.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this matter is most likely the person in charge of Comet Capital!" Lor Bronson was already 70% certain in his heart, but this kind of thing only needs to be known in the heart. There will be no benefit in seeing through and speaking it out, but it will bring trouble to oneself.

------Dividing line------

While AOL was struggling to deal with the negative news reported by many news media, Korea's Comet Capital Building welcomed a delegation from Japan's Avex Music Company, led by its president, Seito Matsuura.

When he first saw Zhang Junfeng standing in the center, Song Pu Shengren was shocked beyond words. This young man was the boss of a financial institution with billions of dollars? !

Although he had heard SBS TV station President Park Jin-woo mention some of Zhang Junfeng's deeds before, he never expected that the other party would be so young!
Zhang Junfeng was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that this middle-aged man with a somewhat haggard face remained silent. Since he had taken the initiative to come and visit, why didn't he show any expression and couldn't even speak?

Fortunately, his subordinates quickly helped Matsuura Shengren, who was still in a daze, and introduced the two parties. Matsuura Shengren, who came to his senses, quickly adjusted his mentality and communicated with Zhang Junfeng and others in English.

Matsuura Shengren also explained the purpose of his visit. It turned out that since the financial crisis that affected the whole of Asia broke out two years ago, although Japan, which has a deeper foundation, did not declare bankruptcy like Korea, a large number of domestic companies and financial institutions also went bankrupt.

Some of the major shareholders behind Avex Music are unlucky enough to have gone bankrupt. Not only are they unable to provide support to Avex Music, they are even hindering its development to a certain extent.

Especially now that the company has gone public, they are in urgent need of a strong supporter to help them stabilize the stock price and boost morale!

Comet Capital, which helped SM Entertainment grow rapidly and become the number one in Korea, is undoubtedly an excellent target for competition. If Comet Capital strongly invests in Avex Music, their lives will definitely be much better.

Although Zhang Junfeng was somewhat tempted by the request made by Matsuura Shengren, especially the many Japanese singers who were good at singing and dancing under Avex Music, he was still very happy to recruit them under his command.

However, in order to ensure that he always had the upper hand during the negotiation, Zhang Junfeng had a rather embarrassed expression on his face. "President Matsuura, you don't know that in order to support SM Entertainment, Comet Capital has mobilized a lot of funds and connections. If we can't get enough shares in Avex Music, I'm afraid we will just be helping others in vain, which is not in line with the style of Comet Capital..."

Want him to contribute money and effort? He must get more than 50% of the company's shares, otherwise Zhang Junfeng will be the victim? Make Avex Music bigger and stronger, and benefit other shareholders for nothing? He will never do such a stupid thing!
Hearing that Zhang Junfeng was willing to help but only needed a large amount of company shares, Matsuura Shengren was somewhat embarrassed. After all, although he was one of the founders of the company, he was just an ordinary person and it was only with the generosity of other investment institutions and investors that he was able to establish the current Avex Music Company.

To be precise, as the company president, he was more like a senior worker. Although he managed the company's daily affairs, he wanted to interfere and decide whether the shareholders should sell their shares? This was obviously a bit difficult for him!
But now they finally have such an opportunity to make Avex Music rise and take off quickly. If they miss this opportunity, they don't know how long they will have to work hard to break through the siege and defeat the large number of competitors in the Japanese entertainment industry surrounded by wolves.

……

After being silent for several minutes, Matsuura Seito finally spoke up and said that he would negotiate with several shareholders of the company and hoped that Comet Capital could give him some more time. There would definitely be a clear result after three days at the latest. He still hoped to reach a cooperation with Comet Capital.

Zhang Junfeng and others were quite surprised by Matsuura Seito's sudden statement. They didn't expect that the president of the Japanese entertainment company would have such courage, which made Zhang Junfeng look up to him.

The members of the delegation following Matsuura Shengren also trembled, with a look of doubt on their faces. They certainly knew what their president meant by saying this! Once President Matsuura Shengren really convinced those shareholders to sell their shares to Comet Capital, then their company would probably have to "change its name"!
Although they were shocked by such a thing, they did not have much resistance. After all, it was already good to be able to protect the interests of the company and most people these days. As for those shareholders who had suffered a lot of losses, it might not be a bad thing to let them cash out and leave early. Anyway, no matter what, it would be much more than the cost of their original investment.
