Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 485 Meeting with Big Boss Beichuan
December 2009, 1.

On the day of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's 18th birthday, Sakamoto Kiyoshi received a birthday gift that made him very satisfied.

His TOP investment company used 8% of the acquired 4% of Sony's shares in exchange for Sony's music business group, Sony Music Entertainment (SME), and Japan's Sony Music Group (SMEJ). ) of [-]% of the shares, so that the chairman of TOP Investment, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, became the major shareholder of SME and SMEJ!

However, becoming a shareholder is not the ultimate goal of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Sony Project".

His goal is to become a director of SMEJ!
Speaking of this, I have to mention the internal organizational structure of the Japanese limited company.

In Japan, a "corporation company" is called a "co., Ltd."

"Co., Ltd." is equal to "shares", and a club is "company"

The organizational structure of a limited company, in simple terms, is a group of "owners" who contribute capital to form a "corporate", then select "directors" to make decisions, and then appoint "presidents" to implement decisions.

The purpose of establishing a "Co., Ltd." must be to bring as much profit as possible to the "owner".

The "owner" is the investor, also known as the "shareholder".

A company may have many shareholders, but not every shareholder knows how to run the company.

At this time, it is very necessary to elect some directors to formulate the company's business direction and steer the company forward.

The "director" is the person who is elected by the shareholders to make decisions, also known as the "director".

The eldest of the directors, also known as the "chairman", is called the "representative director".

And when decisions are made, someone needs to implement those decisions.

The "President" is the person who is responsible for various administrative matters and implements the decisions.

To put it bluntly, it is such a role to follow the director's decision-making and direct the employees under him to complete the task.

However, in a corporation, the relationship between the two positions of "representative director" and "president" is similar but different. . .

A "representative director" is, in law, a representative of the company.

The "President", in terms of duties, is the supreme commander of work affairs.

That is to say, the representative director is legally fully responsible for the operation of the company, and he is the representative of the company.It was his seal that was stamped when registering with the government. When the stock price plummeted, he should be held accountable, and when the company's operation went wrong, it would be the first to call on him.

The representative director has greater responsibility and natural power than the president.

And the president, in essence, was just invited to work.

It doesn't make much sense legally. If the board of directors feels that the president's management is not effective, he can also fire him.

Just like Universal fired Kenji Kitano. . .

But as long as one day is still in the position of president, the power held by this position is not small.

After all, he can direct the execution of almost all specific affairs within the company.

But sometimes, in order to pursue efficiency, the company sets the representative director and the president as the same person.

After all, it is most convenient to manage by letting the person who has the best grasp of the company's current situation be the company's representative.

The SMEJ where Kiyoshi Sakamoto works is such a situation

Naoki Kitagawa, who is the representative director of Sony Music, also serves as the president, that is to say, decision-making and execution are all decided by him, it is simply a combination of power!
It's no wonder that after taking office, the entire Sony Music has gradually become his voice.

He has both shareholders as backers and the support of his employees, coupled with the brilliant achievements in recent years, if he is not in power, who will be in power? !

Therefore, if Kiyoshi Sakamoto wants to successfully become a director of SMEJ, he must get the nod and support of Naoki Kitagawa.

Otherwise, even if he is the major shareholder of SMEJ, even if he has more shares than Naoki Kitagawa, he may not be able to obtain the real power of SMEJ.

And today, Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to visit in person just to get the support of Naoki Kitagawa!
. . .

1 month 24 number.

Kitagawa's house in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

"Ah! Sakamoto-kun!" Mrs. Beichuan who opened the door looked at the man standing outside with surprise, "Quick! Come in!"

"Long time no see, madam."

After bowing slightly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, with a smile on his face, stepped into Beichuan's house under Mrs. Beichuan's warm welcome.

Coming to the living room, SMEJ's boss, director and president Naoki Kitagawa, was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, reading today's newspaper.

Seeing that the visitor was Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Kitagawa Naoki's eyes hidden under the gold-rimmed glasses flashed sharply, and immediately turned into kindness.

"Yo! Isn't this Sakamoto-kun?!" Putting the newspaper in his hand on the table, Kitagawa Naoki stood up and beckoned Sakamoto Kiyoshi to come over, "Come here, come and sit."

"excuse me..."

The obedient Sakamoto Kiyoshi, after bowing slightly, walked to the side sofa and sat down.

"Honey, serve tea to the guests."

"Ok."

After agreeing, Mrs. Kitagawa smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare refreshments, leaving only Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Naoki Kitagawa in the living room. . .

Looking at Sakamoto Kiyoshi who was sitting upright, Kitagawa Naoki speculated in his heart the purpose of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's sudden visit.

As the representative director of Sony Music, although he knows that the recent changes in SMEJ's shares have been carried out very frequently in private, many shareholders have secretly sold their SMEJ shares to a company called TOP Investment.

Behind this, there seems to be a mysterious behind-the-scenes manipulator who is manipulating all this!
He had never heard of the company named TOP Investment. . .

However, he never imagined that the mysterious force that bought many shares was the company under Kiyoshi Sakamoto who was sitting in front of him!

Therefore, Naoki Kitagawa, who was full of doubts about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's sudden visit, asked first.

"Then, Sakamoto-kun, you came here today..."

"Beichuan-san!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto put his hands upright on his thighs, and spoke with a serious face.

"Today, I came here to confess something to you."

frank?

A big question mark appeared in Beichuan Naoki's mind.

"If you think about it, you should know that many small shareholders of the company have sold off their shares recently."

"Sold to a company called TOP Investment..."

Kitagawa Naoki is not an idiot.

On the contrary, the boss of an entertainment company as big as Sony Music is frighteningly shrewd.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto said this, a secret that only the company's top management knew, Naoki Kitagawa had already vaguely sensed what exactly Kiyoshi Sakamoto said.

"Could it be..."

However, he still tried his best to keep his face down, so as not to show a surprised expression.

However, what Sakamoto Kiyoshi said next was like a blockbuster, which knocked him into a daze. . .

"Actually, that TOP investment is my company!"
