Chapter 474 Share Exchange
"According to the report of the statistics department, in the past two months, we have made use of the financial crisis to earn nearly 130 billion US dollars through stock market, futures market, foreign exchange market transactions, short-selling stocks, and the acquisition of devalued currencies. !"

"Congratulations, you are now the youngest billionaire in the world!"

On the phone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's number one financial management talent, Yuichi Kagawa, the president of TOP Investment, was full of excitement in his voice.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the toilet, had a flash of light in his eyes, and said in a calm tone.

"You know me, what I care about is not how much money I make..." He switched the phone from the left ear to the right ear, and continued, "What I care about is how the acquisition of shares is going ?”

With the passage of time, or the change of status, Sakamoto Kiyoshi today is completely different from Sakamoto Kiyoshi who just formed TOP a few years ago.

In Kagawa Yuichi's view, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is becoming more and more like a superior person in all aspects. . .

The character is more decisive, the purpose is clearer, and the vision is more long-term.

Even the tone of speech is more stable than the previous escape.

Kagawa Yuichi didn't feel bad about Sakamoto Kiyoshi's change, but was very pleased.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a genius, and this is a fact well known to everyone in TOP Investment.

Whether it is the talent in creation or the unique vision in financial investment, the entire TOP company is amazed.

However, what dissatisfied the TOP executives headed by Kagawa was that Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't put too much thought into running the company.

Often he puts forward some requirements, and then lets Kagawa and others complete them. . .

Although such decentralization is a great trust and honor for subordinates.

However, as the actual owner of the company, Yuichi Kagawa still hopes that Kiyoshi Sakamoto can be more like a leader of an enterprise.

After all, a good leader can give subordinates the motivation to continue to contribute to the company.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's change was exactly what he wanted to see.

Therefore, even if Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not show much concern for their work results in the past two months, it did not dampen Kagawa Yuichi's enthusiasm at all.

"The acquisition of shares went relatively smoothly." On the phone, Yuichi Kagawa's voice came again, "We took advantage of the opportunity of the depreciation of the yen to acquire part of the shares at a low price from many bankrupt retail investors and small shareholders."

"A part? How much does it add up?"

"If we add the 2% acquired before the financial crisis, we now own 8% of Sony's shares!"

There is still a little pride in Kagawa Yuichi's words.

No wonder he is like this.

You know, before the financial crisis, it took TOP two years to secretly acquire 2% of Sony's shares. However, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, they acquired 6% of the shares in just two months!
It is conceivable how much energy they have put in in the past two months to complete the task assigned by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also heard Kagawa's words, with the meaning of asking for credit.

So, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said, "Oh! Well done!"

"Well, I have worked hard for you all this time..."

"How about this, the year-end bonuses of all employees in the company will be doubled, and you, Hashimoto, and Ichijo will each get 2% of the company's shares as a reward!"

He casually gave 6% of the company's shares to the three of Kagawa. With such a heroic move, Kagawa Yuichi, who was far away in New York, suddenly had a feeling of "a man who dies for his confidant".

"thank you very much!"

"It's okay, you deserve this. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to make so much money." Kiyoshi Sakamoto moved his butt, changed his sitting position, and continued to sit on the toilet.

"Nothing!"

"If it weren't for you, Sakamoto-kun, for your foresight, we wouldn't be able to develop TOP to its current scale. Most of this is due to your credit."

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto is six or seven years younger than himself, the financial management team headed by Yuichi Kagawa admires this boss very much.

After the two exchanged a wave of business, Kiyoshi Sakamoto continued to ask.

"That 8% stake should make me a major shareholder of Sony, right?"

"Well, that's right, among the independent shareholders, your shareholding ratio is already the largest among all Sony shareholders!"

"Hmm..." After pondering for a moment, Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked the point, "How can I use these shares to become a director of SME and SMEJ?"

Here, I have to mention the differences in the music business of Sony, a large global comprehensive multinational conglomerate.

SME is the abbreviation of Sony's music business group, Sony Music Entertainment (Sony Music Entertainment).

SMEJ is the abbreviation of Sony Music Group Japan, a subsidiary of Sony, which is independent of the global music system.

SME mainly manages the music business of Sony in the global region except Japan; while SMEJ mainly manages the music business in Japan.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and THE SUN are both artists under SMEJ, but the music labels are different.

SMEJ is a very comprehensive and huge music group.

In addition to records, they also do videotapes, DVDs, and live performances.

The main labels include Sony Music Record, SME Record, SACAR Music, Epic Japan, Ki/oon Music and so on.

Among them, SMR belongs to Sony's main label, and SMER is a sub-label.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal record deal is under the main label SMR; while THE SUN's record deal is under SMER.

If Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to become a director of SME and SMEJ, he must first become a shareholder of Sony, and then exchange Sony's shares with the directors of SME and SMEJ through a share swap!
This is the answer Sakamoto Kiyoshi got from Kagawa Yuichi.

"The process of share replacement doesn't take too long." When talking about his expertise on the phone, Kagawa Yuichi's tone was obviously a lot more determined, "In just half a month, I can make you a member of SME and SMEJ at the same time." director!"

"Then, I'm counting on you!"

"This is what I should do..."

Just when Kiyoshi Sakamoto wanted to continue asking about the company's current situation, suddenly, there was a knock on the locked toilet door!

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
"Huh?!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the toilet, was taken aback by the sudden knock on the door, and almost dropped his phone on the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to catch the phone. . .

Frightened, he said to the knocker angrily, "There are people inside!"

"Qing! How long are you going to stay inside?!" However, Chiba Masaki's voice came from outside the door, "We are ready to go!"

"Oh, I see, I'll be out soon..."

After saying "I'll hang up first" to the phone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood up, opened the door and walked out.

The moment he put the phone into his trouser pocket, he could see that the time displayed on the screen of the phone was December 12th!
