章節 496: Chapter 496: The Ruthless Negotiation
Wang Qi remained unmoved, his gaze sweeping across the room with indifference before fixing on Shiba Seikō. His eyes suddenly sharpened, and a palpable aura of menace struck Shiba Seikō, causing his face to stiffen involuntarily.
"Ladies and gentlemen, investments are always risky. You may think that the current market value of Ikkyō Group is low, but I believe it can go even lower. The equity you hold is currently worth 10.38 billion yen. It might not be worth even that much in the near future!"
"As for your company, I'm even more optimistic. The current market value is not the peak. I believe it will continue to rise. What do you think?"
Wang Qi's tone was deep and resonant.
The faces of everyone present changed, and they were at a loss for words, unable to come up with a counterargument.
The drastic drop in Ikkyō Group's stock price was due to Jiuding Securities, and the rise in their company's market value was also a result of Jiuding Securities' acquisition.
With Wang Qi, the General Manager of Jiuding Securities, making such statements, it was indeed possible for him to act on his words. They had no way to refute him. As long as the stock battle continued, it would be difficult for the Otowa Group's stock price not to rise!
However, no one was willing to suffer such a significant loss without a fight.
"Mr. Wang, we all know the real situation. We have already agreed to relinquish our stake in Ikkyō Group. If you intend to take advantage of us further, that is absolutely unacceptable! We are not made of clay!" Shiba Seikō took a deep breath, his attitude resolute and determined to contest Wang Qi. To bolster his stance, he shouted to the others.
"Does everyone want their hard-earned money to be taken away?"
"No one's money comes easily!" Watanabe Akihito spoke faintly, clearly dissatisfied with Wang Qi's aggressive approach.
With the major and second-largest shareholders voicing their positions, the other shareholders felt their pressure decrease, and their courage grew. They responded in kind.
"That's right, Mr. Wang. Agreeing to the exchange is already a huge loss for us. We absolutely cannot agree to your terms!"
"..."
The atmosphere in the meeting room tightened once again!
Wang Qi observed the crowd's resistance with a smile. He shrugged and let his gaze settle on Matsushita Naoki, who held a 7.8% stake.
Matsushita Naoki felt uneasy as Wang Qi spoke, "Mr. Matsushita, would you consider selling me your shares?"
At these words, Matsushita Naoki's face, along with those of Shiba Seikō and Watanabe Akihito, changed drastically. Their sharp glares were directed at Matsushita Naoki, their meaning clear.
With all eyes on him, Matsushita Naoki felt immense pressure. He swallowed hard, forcing a smile, and shook his head, intending to refuse Wang Qi to avoid suspicion from others.
But Wang Qi's next words made him swallow his words back.
"Mr. Matsushita, there is a company called Mingchun Printing Machinery that is performing well. My company has purchased a 13.6% stake. Are you interested?"
This statement caused everyone's faces to turn grim, except Gavin Peter, who remained indifferent, watching the drama unfold.
They all knew that Mingchun Printing Machinery was Matsushita Naoki's primary business, specializing in advertising supplies and machinery, such as printing equipment, packaging machinery, and office equipment, including trademarks, labels, and gravure printing.
The 7.8% stake Matsushita Naoki held in the Otowa Group was merely a related investment, far less important than his primary company.
Wang Qi's sudden disclosure of holding a 13.6% stake in Mingchun Printing Machinery was extremely telling.
Matsushita Naoki took a deep breath, about to agree, when he saw Wang Qi look at the director beside him and heard Wang Qi say, "By the way, I'm also optimistic about the prospects of Shindō Trading Company, so I've acquired a 12.7% stake."
At these words, the director beside Matsushita Naoki immediately showed a serious expression and a hint of panic in his eyes.
Just like Matsushita Naoki, Shindō Trading Company was his main business and his foundation.
If the Otowa Group's shares caused Jiuding Securities to attack, it would indeed be a significant trouble, and he had no reason to go through with it!
Although Wang Qi only spoke of holding shares without providing proof, neither of the two dared to doubt it. They preferred to believe it was true rather than risk it being false. They couldn't afford to gamble on it!
With two directors threatened, the temporary resistance that Shiba Seikō had managed to muster was instantly crushed. He felt powerless.
Although he hated Wang Qi's calm demeanor, Shiba Seikō knew he had lost, and lost badly.
The two directors were the key players, and they would undoubtedly compromise. Shiba Seikō could do nothing about it.
He questioned himself: if he were in their position, wouldn't he make the same choice?
Understanding it was one thing, but unwillingness was another.
Now, with the two directors' combined shares reaching 13.9%, if Wang Qi acquired them and transferred them to Jiuding Publishing Group, Shiba Seikō would lose his chairman position directly.
Considering Gavin Peter's skillful methods, Wang Qi might continue using such ruthless tactics, eventually taking full control of the Otowa Group, forcing him out by diluting his shares.
Well, it was better to accept it!
The losses were not his alone to bear. It was better to share them than to face being expelled in the future.
With this thought, Shiba Seikō quickly declared before Matsushita Naoki and the others could speak: "Mr. Wang, you win. We'll accept your terms for the exchange!"
"Mr. Wang, I also agree!" Matsushita Naoki quickly said, lowering his stance, and with a fawning smile asked, "Can I sell my shares to you?"
Seeing Matsushita Naoki eagerly looking at him, Wang Qi's attitude remained ambiguous, causing Matsushita Naoki to feel anxious.
"We'll see the final result!"
Wang Qi had come prepared, with his strategies in place, and the final result was naturally as he wished, with the terms of the exchange being met.
The 23.8% stake in the Otowa Group was exchanged for a 21.8% stake in Ikkyō Group and 5.52 billion yen in cash.
"Mr. Matsushita, Mr. Fujiwara, welcome to our company for further discussions!" After completing the procedures, seeing Matsushita Naoki and the others following him closely, Wang Qi knew their concerns and, having achieved his goal, no longer needed to hold on to these shares. He warmly invited them.
With the response, Matsushita Naoki and the others were thrilled and quickly shook hands with Wang Qi, afraid he would change his mind: "Okay, I will definitely visit your company!"
Wang Qi smiled and nodded, waving to everyone: "Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. Goodbye!"
Then, he and Gavin Peter left with a sense of satisfaction.
Only the group of directors remained with various expressions.
Shiba Seikō stared blankly at Wang Qi's departing vehicle, his fists clenched tightly, then weakly relaxed, looking down at the share transfer contract in his hands, lost in silence.
Others looked at Shiba Seikō's state, feeling similarly distressed. If Shiba Seikō was struggling, how could they be happy?
Being cornered and forced to sign a humiliating contract made everyone feel repressed.
But what could they do?
When the key points are controlled by others, one can only submit!
"Ah, bandits…"
After a long sigh, Shiba Seikō consoled himself that his shares could still be increased to over 30%.
That was some comfort in misfortune, right?
Shaking his head, Shiba Seikō led the way back, preparing to discuss how to split the shares.
Watanabe Akihito was the last to leave. Before leaving, he looked back at the direction Wang Qi had gone, shaking his head and sighing, then left with only one lingering remark in the air.
"Jiuding Animation, Jiuding Publishing, Jiuding Securities—haha, we've all lost. The only winners are them, and it's not unfair…"
