In a huge gray building in Nihonbashi Dodocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, everyone is looking at the ring-shaped screen above their heads with serious expressions.

Shares of Takeda Pharmaceuticals fell again and are now down 8%.Affected by Takeda Pharmaceutical, the Nikkei once again turned from green to red and is currently down 1.5%.

Japan is a very "big" country.In this society, if an individual shows differences from others, he may be discriminated against or even bullied.At the same time, this is also a country that pays great attention to the relationship between upper and lower levels and "etiquette".The so-called "lower defeats the upper", subordinates betraying their superiors, is a huge taboo in society.

Osamu Yoshida's actions caused huge fluctuations in the entire Japanese economic high society.More than one high-ranking "high-level" person called Xiao Linfeng.There was only one message they sent—to deal with Osamu Yoshida immediately and stabilize the stock price.

Yoshida Osamu received almost no support from the political and business circles.Of course, this was completely within his expectations.The lifeless taste of the Japanese business world has long been unbearable for this senior vice director engaged in marketing of emerging markets.The support he received came mainly from the short sellers on Wall Street-they had already bought a large number of short options and were ready to make a fortune on Takeda Pharmaceutical.

And Osamu Yoshida's purpose is not exactly the same as this group of airdrops.He just wanted to take control of Takeda in his own hands.According to his agreement with the short sellers, after Takeda's share price is suppressed to around 1000 yen, the short sellers will immediately start hostile takeovers.Strive to win the shares that have been crazily sold in the market in one go.It is best to win more than 38% of the shares.In this way, with the 13.5% equity of Yoshida Osamu and his family, they will be able to form an absolute control over Takeda Pharmaceutical.In this way, Xiao Linfeng was easily kicked out and completely controlled the company.

Yoshida Osamu's "selling stocks" is a bluff.Not only did he not intend to completely sell his shares, but he even planned to continue to increase his holdings - during yesterday's sharp drop, he himself only sold 1% of his shares, while the other sales were all at the expense of the airdroppers.

Of course, short sellers will not be satisfied with just controlling a top 10 pharmaceutical company in the world.Their plan is more far-reaching-after taking control of Takeda Pharmaceutical, they will quickly dismember Takeda Pharmaceutical.Then sell all the drugs and R&D institutions under Takeda to other large companies by category.The most valuable among them is undoubtedly Shire Pharmaceuticals from Ireland.Takeda's existing series of drugs for chronic diseases are also treasures worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

After selling all of Takeda Pharmaceutical's properties, the money exchanged can be used to direct losses to Wall Street short sellers through various financial channels.The rest of the wreckage can be left to Osamu Yoshida, and then treated as bones to reward wild dogs.Anyway, after this operation, all the short-seller funds on Wall Street can eat a lot of fat.It doesn't matter if the rest is given to Osamu Yoshida.

Eat it from the front and eat it from the back.This is the only way for Wall Street capitalists to make money.Of course, Osamu Yoshida didn’t know about this plan—he thought he only needed to sell a few drugs to Astras, drive up their stock prices and make Wall Street a fortune—in this way, he could completely take down Takeda Pharmaceutical Woolen cloth.

Also in the Takeda Pharmaceutical headquarters in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, almost all the employees are not in the mood to work.They whispered to each other again and again, looking out of the window worriedly from time to time.It seems that Xiao Linfeng can be seen jumping down from the window at any time.

All the senior managers of Shuichi Yoshida's faction did not come to work today.They have already said that unless Xiao Linfeng hands over control of the company, they will never let it go.But Xiao Linfeng came to the company as usual this morning, showing no abnormalities at all.

Today, the company's shares are down another 8%.Takeda Pharmaceutical, which has just experienced the "acquisition of the century", has extremely high leverage.The sharp drop in stock prices for two consecutive days may have brought a considerable part of the company's borrowings into the range of early loan draws.Although the employees of pharmaceutical companies don't know much about financial knowledge, they can also understand that now is the critical moment of the company's life and death.Once Takeda Pharmaceutical changes ownership, all employees will be unlucky based on the temperament of Yoshida and others.

Xiao Linfeng is also under a lot of pressure now.He sat on his seat, gently rubbing his temple with his right hand.In the past half an hour, the presidents of three banks have called him directly.These three banks are all banks controlled by the United States. Regardless of Takeda Pharmaceutical and their decades of cooperation, they suddenly asked for a loan draw—even if this would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in interest.

Xiao Linfeng agreed to the other party's request without any hesitation.At this time, he must not delay any payment, even if it is only a day or two.As long as there is a problem with the payment, all financial institutions will change their faces together. They will turn into beasts without hesitation, and then rush over and tear off two pieces of flesh and blood on Takeda's body.

Takeda Pharmaceutical's capital chain is fairly healthy.This is the result obtained under Xiao Linfeng's deliberate control.When it acquired Shire Pharmaceuticals, Takeda Pharmaceuticals’ debt-to-capital ratio was as high as 112%.Fortunately, two strategic cornerstone investors, Yuhua Group and Gangyu Bank, were introduced, and their participation directly reduced Takeda's debt ratio to about 90%.Coupled with Kobayashi's interest-free loan to the company after reducing his shareholding, as well as the profits made in the past three years, the current comprehensive debt ratio of Takeda Pharmaceutical is about 65%.Although the three banks' loan withdrawals were sudden, they were still within Takeda's tolerance.

Xiao Linfeng has no money in his personal account now.He has allocated all of his funds to the company's treasury department.The private jet, yacht and all the real estate under his name were mortgaged to the bank in exchange for funds.Except for the house where Xiao Linxun and Lin Lan lived, and the car that Xiao Linfeng bought for them, he put away almost all his belongings.

The [-] million US dollars provided to Yuhua Group was also allocated from here.

With the help of some lawmakers, Takeda was able to defer paying this year's income tax by two months.Taken together, Takeda now has approximately $200 billion in liquidity at its disposal.If you want to reverse the situation, you can only find a way from this.

Xiao Linfeng stretched out a slightly trembling hand. He took the crystal glass that had not been used for more than 20 years from the table, and then poured a whole glass of whiskey into his stomach.

Under the influence of alcohol, Xiao Linfeng's face instantly turned red.He picked up the phone with a much more stable hand, then dialed a number, and said to the other end of the phone, "President Lao Chuan, I leave the report to you."
