Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 340
The name of the caller on the phone screen made Kiyoshi Sakamoto withdraw the unhappiness on his face in an instant, and pressed the call button with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's me, what?"

"Sakamoto-kun, I have something important to tell you. Is it convenient for you?" The voice of Kagawa, the person in charge of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's investment company came through the phone.

After hearing these words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto realized that there must be something very important about Kagawa's call this time.

"Well, I see. You wait a moment." Kiyoshi Sakamoto hung up the phone.

He didn't want Uncle Ishida to know that there was an investment company under him.

Uncle Ishida, who is already fully in charge of his acting career, doesn't need to let him know more, the more concentrated the power, the easier it is to be exposed.

After all, it is unwise to put all your eggs in one basket.

Just when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was thinking about how to push Uncle Ishida away, at this moment, Uncle Ishida sitting in the cab saw Sakamoto Kiyoshi answering the phone through the rearview mirror, and asked curiously, "Qing, is it who?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't change his face, first he smiled lightly, and then lied without blushing, "Well, it's Kara-chan..."

"Oh..." Hearing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's answer, Uncle Ishida also looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with an ambiguous face, deliberately prolonging the ending, and replied.

After Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled "shyly" with his uncle, he looked out the window and found that the car was now driving near Harajuku.

At this time, he had an idea, and a way to distract Uncle Ishida who was the "driver" came to his mind.

"By the way, uncle, where are we?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked.

"Well, let me take a look... I'm about to reach Takeshita Street, what's wrong?" Uncle Ishida looked around before replying.

"Oh, it's like this. Kara-chan called me just now and asked me to buy something for her. It just so happens that this kind of thing should be available in Harajuku, so why don't you park the car at Takeshita Dori and I'll go down and help her. She bought it." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said with a smile.

"Oh, that's it, OK."

Following the driving of the old driver Ishida, the nanny car stopped at the entrance of Takeshita Street, the street of young people in Harajuku.

Even on Monday, Takeshita Street is still crowded with people.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was in the car, couldn't help sighing as he looked at the dense crowd.

"As expected of young people's favorite place to go, there are so many people!"

"Of course, this is the street for young people..." Uncle Ishida replied, then, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with a worried expression, "However, you Do you really want to get out of the car and go shopping for Yui-chan? On Takeshita Street with so many people?"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi is not an ordinary person, the days of swaggering in the streets are long gone.

"Uh... that's right, why don't you go buy it for me?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto's plan finally came to fruition.

"Huh? Is it okay? I'm not very good at getting involved in the affairs between you young lovers..." Uncle Ishida asked a little surprised.

As one of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's closest friends, Uncle Ishida has long seen the ambiguous relationship between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki from various clues. Therefore, when he teases Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Uncle Ishida will use "little couple" "This word, to represent two people. . .

Sakamoto Kiyoshi is also used to it.

"It's okay, she just wants me to help you buy something to eat, it's the muffins at XX store, you just go and buy them."

The muffins here are delicious, and Yui Aragaki accidentally mentioned them when he was chatting with Sakamoto Kiyoshi before.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is good at everything, and his memory is super strong. He can even remember a sentence that Yui Aragaki accidentally said.

At this time, it came in handy.

"Oh, that's the way it is. OK, then let me, Oji-san, run some errands for you little couple..." Uncle Ishida even teased Sakamoto Kiyoshi before getting off the car.

"Well, thank you uncle!"

Fortunately, nanny cars are generally one-way mirrors, that is, you cannot see the inside from the outside, but you can see the outside from the inside.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto watched through the car window as Uncle Ishida walked into the crowd and slowly disappeared.

At this time, he picked up the mobile phone that was put aside again, pressed the call button, and called back.

"Sakamoto-kun?" Kagawa's voice came again from the phone.

"Well, it's me, let's talk now." Kiyoshi Sakamoto said.

"About Microsoft's plan to acquire Facebook shares." Kagawa said calmly, "At this time, I just finished attending the shareholders' meeting..."

"Well, how much does Microsoft want?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi replied, while sitting on the seat, adjusted his sitting posture so that his body could lean on the seat more comfortably.

Just a week ago, while Kiyoshi Sakamoto was busy filming "Detective Galileo", Kagawa, who was far away in the United States, brought him an inside news.

A news that can be said to be good news or bad news.

In the news, Microsoft is showing favor to Facebook and is preparing to acquire some of Facebook's shares!
The implications of this event are enormous.

Because Microsoft wants to acquire part of Facebook's shares, which means that Microsoft is very optimistic about Facebook's development prospects, so it will invest in Facebook.

In other words, the growth of Facebook has made the whole of the United States see how promising this social software, which has only been established for three years, is.

Microsoft's investment is definitely a good thing for the development of Facebook, and it is a great thing.

However, on the other hand, it is a very bad thing for shareholders of shares, especially those like Kiyoshi Sakamoto who know Facebook's prospects and are unwilling to sell their shares.

Because Microsoft's acquisition of Facebook's shares, no matter how much it is, means that among the major shareholders of Facebook, someone will definitely sell part of their shares.

It is an unacceptable decision for every sensible investor to sell shares that have a high possibility of future appreciation.

No one wants to be that person.

So is Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Therefore, the sale of shares this time must be decided by the shareholder meeting composed of the largest shareholder, founder Mark Zuckerberg.

It is also worth considering whether several shareholders will take out some shares together, or whether all of them will be taken out by one shareholder.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as the second largest shareholder of Facebook, holds 15% of his shares, but he is not in the United States and cannot participate in this shareholder meeting.

Therefore, he asked Kagawa, the president of TOP Investment Company, to attend this shareholder meeting instead of him.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who originally thought that Microsoft would open his mouth like a lion, was confused by the numbers in Kagawa's mouth.

"1.6%."

"Huh? That's all?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was surprised.

"That's right, only 1.6%, but, do you know how much it sold?" Kagawa also whetted Kiyoshi Sakamoto's appetite.

"Uh... [-] million?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi guessed.

"No, it's 2.4 million!" Kagawa reported the number with a little excitement in his tone.

"2.4 million?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto murmured and repeated, and then asked Kagawa on the phone, "Uh, this, I don't quite understand, is 2.4 million a lot?"

"Snapped!"

Hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words, Kagawa, who was far away in the American office, trembled and almost dropped his phone to the ground.

Fortunately, he leaned on the table and caught the phone. However, that push was also transmitted to Kiyoshi Sakamoto in Japan through the phone.

"Moshi Moxi? Kagawa, are you okay?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto also heard the sudden voice and asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Kagawa couldn't complain about himself, a boss who has a good investment vision and is very vicious, but doesn't know much about economics and finance.

After tidying up his sleeves, Kagawa continued to explain to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "2.4 million is already a lot, you know, you now own 15% of Facebook shares, which means that if you sell all the shares in your hand now , will bring you a net worth of more than two billion dollars!"

"You know, you only used 100 million US dollars in exchange for this 15% of the shares. In three years, the value of the shares in your hands has increased by more than 2000 times!!!"

"Oh, more than 2000 times..." Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't have much idea about the money in his hands.

After all, he only needs to know that he is rich. . .

However, now, he just wants to know who will take out the 1.5% shares and give them to Microsoft.

"By the way, where is the 1.5% going to come from? You can't ask me to take it out, right? If that's the case, that brat Mark is too embarrassing!"

"Well, Mark should know that you are definitely not willing to take it out, and none of the other large and small shareholders wanted to sell their shareholders, so in the end, he took out 1.5% of his own shares. "Xagawa finally named the seller of the shares.

"Oh, yes, everyone knows that Facebook's future development prospects are good, it is impossible to take the initiative to reduce holdings at this time..."

"No one would be an idiot to sit in a Facebook shareholder meeting..."

After a few words of emotion, Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked out the window first, and continued to ask after he did not see Uncle Ishida.

"Well, I know about this, what else?"

"Also, about the "Sony Project"..." Kagawa's words made Kiyoshi Sakamoto concentrate again.

"Well, how's it going?"

This plan to replace Sony Music's directorship by acquiring the stock of Sony's head office has been going on for more than a year. Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that it was time for him to see the results.

"After more than a year of secret acquisitions, our TOP has acquired 0.5% of Sony's shares through the acquisition of retail investors and minority shareholders."

"Is it only 0.5%?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto seemed a little dissatisfied with this figure.
