Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 89: The End of the Day
Masato Takeshita was no pushover and spoke directly from the start.

"It's like this. In order to achieve better development, Matsumoto Manufacturing plans to expand the company's management team. This is my plan..."

Although Matsumoto Manufacturing has reached a higher level, Masato Takeshita did not want to ask for more, and still kept the same price with a 1% split.

The transfer of benefits must be open and aboveboard.

If he wasn't worried about being caught in the act in the future, he would have given it away for free.

"this?"

"Teacher, this is what you should do. Don't refuse."

"Well, I'll refuse it."

Faced with future profits of at least 10 billion yen, Kunihiko Inoue couldn't remain calm.

If it weren't for his inner reserve, he would have agreed immediately.

Now that the decision has been made, it is time to cut the Gordian knot.

Seeing that his teacher agreed, Masato Takeshita immediately took him to the law firm they were cooperating with.

After stamping and signing, Masato Takeshita lost 1% of his shares and paid all his favors.

"Is this the end?"

After discussing the contract, Kunihiko Inoue still looked a little dazed. He looked at Masato Takeshita leaving and still couldn't believe that everything he saw was real.

"It's all true, don't look at it."

Asuka Ryo now envies Inoue Kunihiko, who is lucky enough to have met such a talented and generous student.

1% of Matsumoto Manufacturing's shares would be worth at least tens of billions of yen next year, and she might not be able to earn that much in her entire life.

"I never thought that I would achieve financial freedom thanks to my students."

"Indeed, this is the first time I've met such a generous entrepreneur."

Asuka Ryo thought of all the shares given away by Takeshita Masato and showed an envious expression again.

She now even hopes that Xinghai Semiconductor can develop faster so that she can have the opportunity to work as a professional lawyer.

“I guess after becoming a specialized lawyer, I’ll have the opportunity to get shares.”

The reason why Asuka Ryo had the idea of joining the company as a professional lawyer was because she had heard from Takeshita Masato several times that after Matsumoto Manufacturing went public, he would establish an employee stock pool.

In this way, the company's employees can also share the dividends of the company's development.

If someone else said this, she would definitely not believe it, but since Masato Takeshita said this, Asuka Ryo felt it was very credible.

She doesn't ask for much, a few hundred million yen would be enough for her.

Masato Takeshita did have similar ideas and was prepared to take relevant actions.

But his ultimate goal in doing this is still for himself.

When money reaches a certain level, the marginal effect will sharply decrease.

There is absolutely no essential difference between the life enjoyed by a family with a fortune of $10 billion and that enjoyed by a family with a fortune of $100 billion.

What is more important at this time is influence.

Take Morgan and Rockefeller, the leaders of the two major American financial tycoons in the 19th century, as examples.

Rockefeller was indeed richer, but his influence in the United States at that time was far less than that of JP Morgan, whose assets were less than one-tenth of his.

Because Morgan could easily manipulate a country with his strong influence on Wall Street.

After several economic crises in the United States, Morgan had to be asked to step in, but Rockefeller could only wait for the final result.

That’s how important influence is.

If Masato Takeshita allocated 30% of the company's shares as employee shares, he would indeed lose some money, but he would have greater control over the company.

Because of the 30% employee shares, the voting rights will only be in his hands.

Masato Takeshita wished he could convert most of the company's shares into employee shares so that he could control the company forever.

Not only Matsumoto Manufacturing, but all the companies he founded will eventually implement this model.

Employees hold a certain amount of stock, and the voting rights of employees are in the hands of Masato Takeshita. This plan is especially important for emerging industries such as semiconductors.

Because in this field Masato Takeshita needs to learn to share, he is destined to only own a small portion of the shares.

If he wants to have perfect control over the company, he must rely on the power of the employee stock pool for a long time.

Of course, Masato Takeshita’s employee stock pool follows the Huawei model.

When an employee leaves the company, the shares automatically return to the employee stock pool.

In this way, the employees' shares will only increase, not decrease, and Masato Takeshita's control over the company will only deepen, not shallower.

Taking Huawei as an example, Mr. Ren did lose the vast majority of shares, but he will never lose control of Huawei.

The same cannot happen to Penguin. As Pony Ma’s shares continue to be diluted, sooner or later he will lose control of Penguin.

You can only gain if you give.

If you want to gain a more stable influence, you must be willing to give benefits to your employees.

……

"How about it?"

“It’s really contagious.”

Yoshiyuki Takeishi, director of Toshiba's VLSI Research Institute, couldn't help but feel deeply moved when watching the high-spirited Masato Takeshita in the video.

Didn’t you choose to join Toshiba because of your dream?

"Okay, I promise, I will not stop you from recruiting Masuoka-san."

Yasuo Tarui had already gained access to Toshiba's senior management career early on, but he encountered a tough obstacle with Koki Takeishi.

Koki Takeishi knew that Fujio Masuoka was a genius in the semiconductor field and could not be released from Toshiba just like that, as this would add to Toshiba's competitive troubles.

But after watching Masato Takeshita's corporate presentation, he realized that he could not stop the flow of talent for personal gain.

Only by leaving Toshiba can Fujio Masuoka unleash his full talent.

"Very good, a Showa man should have this kind of courage."

"Alas, Toshiba has no future."

Koki Takeishi looked at everything in front of him with emotion. He knew that Toshiba had lost its spirit of innovation.

Flash memory chips and memory chips are obviously a different category, but they are being suppressed madly because of concerns about the possible impact of new technologies.

This is simply not what a tech company should do.

The more you suppress it, the stronger the final rebound will be.

New technology can never be defeated.

"Forget it. I'm going to retire soon. There's no point in thinking so much. I should call Masuoka-san."

Koki Takeishi is already very old and is gradually finding it difficult to cope with the challenges in Toshiba's R&D department.

Even with his protection, a talent like Fujio Masuoka still had to go to the United States to handle the company's litigation business.

This has nothing to do with research and development and is more of a civilian area.

Toshiba is almost making it clear that Fujio Masuoka has been completely marginalized.

In other words, Fujio Masuoka was honest and loyal enough to stay in Toshiba despite suffering so much injustice.

If it were scientific research talents from China or the United States, they would have run away long ago.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Now that he had achieved the desired result, Yasuo Tarui naturally stopped pestering him.

In addition to the flash memory chip field, he also wants to work hard for Masato Takeshita's entire semiconductor industry chain.

Although Masato Takeshita did not say so, Yasuo Tarui was willing to work hard to create another semiconductor company in Japan.
