Chapter 114 Radical Investment

The seventh day of the first lunar month.

The day of the first month.

Legend has it that this day is the birthday of mankind, that is, a person’s birthday.

According to Chinese folklore, Nuwa created all living things in the world. She created chickens on the first day, dogs on the second day, pigs on the third day, sheep on the fourth day, oxen on the fifth day, horses on the sixth day, and humans on the seventh day. Human beings, so this day is the birthday of human beings.

In the Northeast, most places have the custom of eating noodles on this day, which means wrapping the legs with noodles over time to bring longevity. In addition, the seventeenth and twenty-seventh days of the first lunar month are also regarded as "human days".

The seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh days of the first lunar month are the "days" for children, adults and the elderly respectively. Whoever wants to celebrate the "days" must eat noodles.

Thinking of the doubling of Nintendo's stock in 1983, Li Zhongxin began to figure out how to communicate with Masako Mitsui after his morning exercise.

He didn't really believe in the myth of getting rich overnight, but after the development of Nintendo's Famicom, the stock price could make people suddenly rich.

After eating a big bowl of hot broth noodles made by his father at home, Li Zhongxin took the third-line bus and went straight to the post office.

After paying homage to Auntie Xie, Shen Chunhua, he went to the international long distance telephone machine at the post office and called Masako Mitsui.

On the phone, Li Zhongxin and Mitsui Masako briefly talked about his idea of ​​​​investing in Nintendo stocks, and briefly explained the reasons for buying Nintendo. After some consultations, a tone was finally set, that is, to make people responsible for Komura Eka, who was involved in bank operations with him, transferred all his funds to the RB stock market, divided them into more than 20 capital accounts, hired several traders, and bought all Nintendo stocks.

The matter of dividing the funds into more than 20 capital accounts was something Li Zhongxin thought of in the morning. If a single account purchased Nintendo stocks, Li Zhongxin was afraid that all his funds would enter the market and meet the 10% standard for Nintendo shareholders.

Generally speaking, the shareholding is dispersed and the required shareholding ratio is low. When the shareholding is relatively dispersed, it is entirely possible for the acquirer to control the company even if the shareholding ratio is not high; when the shareholding is relatively concentrated, even if the acquirer holds shares If the ratio is high, you may not be able to control it.

For the "partial share amount" of a partial takeover offer, many countries have passed legislation to stipulate the lower limit. For RB, Canada and France are 10%, and the United States is 5%. The "critical line" for a compulsory takeover offer is the size of the shares held by the major shareholders. Li Zhongxin did not know how much Nintendo's market value could reach in 1983. He was afraid that if it exceeded 10%, there would be chaos.

He doesn't even want to be discovered by RB's regulatory authorities. In just a few months, his large sum of money will double crazily.

Li Zhongxin did not tell Mitsui Masako the whole story. He just told Mitsui Masako that if Mitsui Masako could trust him, then he would buy Nintendo shares with him.

If Masako has no money in hand now, she can mortgage Masako Mitsui's shares in Mitsui Group and use loans to operate this.

If Mitsui Masako was not interested in acquiring some Nintendo shares, then when Komura Keika helped Li Zhongxin acquire Nintendo shares, he would have set aside 10 million yen as Haruko's investment and as a dowry for Haruko in the future.

After Mitsui Masako received the call, she sat in the office and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out why Li Zhongxin suddenly asked her to buy Nintendo stocks.

She was even more confused about Li Zhongxin asking her to use all her funds to buy Nintendo stocks.

She had heard about Nintendo. It was a very good company in RB in the 1980s, but why did Li Zhongxin ask her to raise all the funds to buy Nintendo shares?

After Mitsui Masako asked Komura Eka to bring over the investigation report on Nintendo, she read it countless times, but she did not see any sustainable development trend for Nintendo.

"Nintendo" originated from the idiom "Things are planned by people, and things are accomplished by God." President Hiroshi Yamauchi shifted his main business from the production of playing cards to computer game consoles in the 1980s.

"Nintendo" has been manufacturing and selling gambling equipment such as poker for a long time. It has survived for more than a hundred years in an unscrupulous industry. It was passed into the hands of Hiroshi Yamauchi, and he took the risk and invested huge sums of money to position his main business in video games.

machine.

Hiroshi Yamauchi "betted" on the gaming industry and faced the harsh reality: RB was facing an oil crisis at the time, and the economy had been in recession for three years; American gamers were also growing tired of old-fashioned programs, and game console sales dropped to a record low.

point.

In recent years, Nintendo has had some games that have slightly expanded their market share, but they have not become popular at all.

In Mitsui Masako's investigation report, she did not see what was good or special about Nintendo's stock at all. Instead, she felt that the company's stock had no investment value.

The prospectus even included investment in the construction of a large factory to produce game consoles.

In the current market, game consoles are quite sluggish, and it even feels like a sunset industry. How could Li Zhongxin fall in love with this industry and pour all his funds into it? How could he make such a bold investment?

Mitsui Masaru was puzzled by this matter, and she was even more stunned by the amount of money Li Zhongxin had in RB.

All of Li Zhongxin's bank funds are entrusted to Komura Keixiang. Except that Komura Keixiang cannot withdraw any amount of money, all the numbers are within the control of Komura Keixiang.

Although Li Zhongxin had previously invested with her in sanitary napkin production lines and electric fan factories, and also established wild vegetable sales channels, Li Zhongxin still had more than two billion yen in RB's money at this time.

These are all the profits Li Zhongxin got from "Weekly Shonen".

"Detective Conan" was so popular in RB that many comic fans even said that half of the profits of "Weekly Shonen" now come from "Detective Conan".

Compared with "Detective Conan", which has always been a popular RB, "Slam Dunk", which has always been tepid, has also begun to have a second life.

Statistics show that the support rates of the two comic masterpieces "Slam Dunk" and "Detective Conan" have been equal, directly defeating the famous comic masters in the two comic giants "Weekly Shonen" and "Monthly Shonen". At this time,

There are no more voices in the RB comics world that disparage Amano Sakura and Tadanobu-kun. The voices of support completely cover up the opposition voices of those people. From then on, Tadanobu-kun’s position in the RB comics world was established.

As expected by Li Zhongxin, Masako Mitsui now has almost no working capital. All the working capital has been invested with Li Zhongxin in the production line of sanitary napkins, the production line of canned fish, and some supporting things.

Mitsui Masako thought about it again and again, but finally did not follow Li Zhongxin's wishes, mortgaged the stocks in her hands to the bank, and invested in Nintendo stocks with Li Zhongxin.

There are two reasons why Mitsui Masako did not do this.

First, Mitsui Masako felt that investing in such a company's stocks was no different from keeping her shares in Mitsui & Co., not to mention that Mitsui & Co. was about to start dividend expansion.

Second, Mitsui Masako felt that Li Zhongxin was a layman when it came to stocks, and he did not know who was instigating him to want to buy stocks in a whimsical way.

You know, in China, a big country, it was already the 1980s, and joint-stock companies had just appeared, and there was not even a stock trading market.

In other words, what Li Zhongxin said is not very practical.

Furthermore, Mitsui Masako felt that even if Li Zhongxin was right and Nintendo's stock rose, it wouldn't mean much.

Allocating such a huge amount of funds to buy stocks in the market, Li Zhongxin's own huge funds alone have already stirred up Nintendo's stock before Nintendo's stock has risen.

If she and Li Zhongxin invest all their funds in Nintendo, it will lead to such a situation.
