Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 35 The plan begins

Toyoshima Hiroji nodded as if he understood, and without further questioning, he agreed in a relaxed tone: "Is that so? Sure. Don't worry, there will be news soon."

For a small company with more than 100 employees, Industrial Bank has countless ways to make it comply, which can also be regarded as repaying part of the friendship of selling stocks to the junior.

Masato Takeshita heard the indifference in Executive Managing Director Toyoshima's tone and quickly added, "Well, don't use coercion, but focus on winning them over. Tell their R&D team that we are willing to spend at least 20 billion yen in cash to set up a R&D laboratory for LEDs."

"If it still doesn't work, it's okay to pause."

At this time, Nichia Chemical was still headed by Nobuo Ogawa, who was very grateful to Shuji Nakamura for his help and was the only senior leader who still supported his research and development.

Masato Takeshita did not want to offend Nobuo Ogawa because of the pressure from Industrial Bank, which would affect his impression in Shuji Nakamura's mind.

Anyway, in two years Nobuo Ogawa will retreat to the second line, and his son-in-law Eiji Ogawa will become the new leader of the company. However, Eiji Ogawa does not support Shuji Nakamura's research and development of blue light LEDs.

It might be easier to poach people at that time.

"Oh that's fine."

Managing Director Toyoshima did not think that Nichia Chemical could refuse Industrial Bank, so he did not care about his junior's extra request.

"Then I'll trouble you, Toyoshima-senpai. Thank you!"

Blue LED is a Nobel Prize-level achievement, and the research and development of it did not require a lot of money. Nakamura Shuji spent only a few hundred million yen to complete the establishment of the laboratory.

Masato Takeshita was willing to spend more to provide him with a better scientific research environment.

At least Shuji Nakamura doesn't have to use inferior experimental materials, nor does he have to conduct research and development in a dangerous environment where experimental materials often explode.

"It's just a small matter, don't take it too seriously. If you want to repay me, then run Matsumoto Manufacturing well."

"Please rest assured that I will definitely lead Matsumoto Manufacturing to become a big company."

After half a year of experience, Masato Takeshita has a better understanding of the company's operations and has found a new direction for the company's development after the listing.

At worst, they can learn from the later clothing giant ZARA and madly copy the clothing designs of major fashion weeks. Produce a small amount first, and if it sells well, produce more. If it is pre-cool, cancel it directly.

As for the lawsuit against the fashion designer, it is not important at all. At most he will just have to pay some money.

Of course, it is better not to take this red and black road, which is too easy to offend people. If possible, Takeshita Masato is still willing to learn from brands such as Nike, Adidas, Xtep, and Uniqlo and take the royal brand development route.

"Well, I believe you."

After talking about the poaching of Yen Chemical, Takeshita Masato said tactfully: "Senior Toyoshima, I have something else to do next, so I won't bother you."

"Well, go get busy, bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After Masato Takeshita left, Toyoshima Hiroji left his chair and muttered to himself as he walked, "They acquired Nichia Chemical's R&D department. Is there any unknown genius in this company?"

"Interesting. I wonder where you got this information from."

Although he noticed something was wrong, Toyoshima Hiroji was not prepared to intercept. He wanted to see how many surprises his junior could bring him and whether he could help him become the president in the future.

Masato Takeshita didn't know what Senior Toyoshima was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

It was impossible for Industrial Bank to discover the secret. Because except for him, a prophet, no one would think that an engineer from a third-rate university would be a Nobel Prize-level genius.

Masato Takeshita did not completely leave Industrial Bank. After leaving the headquarters, he turned around and went to the Shinjuku branch.

This is the business office of Matsumoto Manufacturing at the Industrial Bank. Whether it is the wages of employees, the transaction fees for suitcases, or the payment for raw materials, they are all completed by the Shinjuku branch. This is also one of the conditions for the Industrial Bank to invest.

After receiving the call from the front desk, Uno Noriyuki immediately went downstairs to personally welcome Takeshita Masato to the president's office.

This is the branch's God of Wealth and he must not be offended at all.

After all, Industrial Bank only required Matsumoto Manufacturing to place the relevant business in its own bank, without specifying which site it was located at.

"Welcome. Why did you think of coming to our place today?"

"Something's going on. I want to get a mortgage here."

Hearing the word "loan", Uno Jiyuki's expression became serious. He handed the brewed black tea to Takeshita Masato and asked, "Oh, mortgage, is it the stock made by Matsumoto?"

"Yes, I want to set up another company, but the funds on hand are not enough."

Masato Takeshita did not want to tie himself completely to Industrial Bank, so he planned to work alone on the blue light LED project.

"Is that included in the 100 billion yen loan?"

“No, this is something I want to do.”

Matsumoto Manufacturing is constantly expanding and would like to have as much money as possible, so it will naturally not be included.

"Okay, I can make the decision now. I'll lend you 15 billion yen at one percentage point."

Uno Jixing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't waste next year's quota, everything would be fine.

According to this year's data, the bank's lending environment next year will be unprecedentedly bad. He wants to take this opportunity to break through the trend and become the best branch to complete the bank's lending tasks.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will mortgage 40 percentage points of my shares first."

1 percentage point of shares is 15 billion yen, which is about the normal value of Matsumoto Manufacturing.

Of course, if Matsumoto Manufacturing goes public, given the current frenzy in the Japanese stock market, the share price may very likely reach the 30 billion yen level.

"So many?"

Uno Jixing was shocked by Takeshita Masato's wildness. His junior only had 72% of the shares, and now he directly mortgaged more than half of it. What was he going to do?
"Yeah, it's okay."

The blue LED project is important, but it is for the future. Masato Takeshita pledged so many shares this time mainly to target the Japanese stock market.

The Japanese stock market plummeted in October, so I took the opportunity to buy at the bottom. I estimate that by the end of this year, I will have made a profit of more than 10%.

This is the result of Masato Takeshita not using leverage. If he had used leverage, he could easily earn more than 1 times the money.

Of course, if you play with leverage recklessly, you are more likely to be eaten up by the capital sharks.

600 billion yen is not a small amount. As long as Masato Takeshita enters the market, all the data will be known to the big players in the market.

Once he opens the leverage, he will easily be targeted by capital giants.

The collective plunge in stocks in October was due to the tacit consensus of capital giants to clean up the market. His stocks, which were worth hundreds of millions of yen, escaped the disaster because he had no leverage.

"You want to borrow so much money at once?"

Uno Jixing was a little hesitant and wanted to persuade his junior not to be so unrestrained.
