At this time, he called Kobayashi Masayoshi directly and said as soon as he came up: "Mr. Kobayashi, congratulations on taking the position of acting president!"
Kobayashi Masayoshi said respectfully: "Mr. Ito, thank you for your congratulations. I, the president, are only temporary agents. When my nephew Jiro Kobayashi comes back, I will give this position to him."
Ito Yuhiko sneered and said, "I guess Jiro Kobayashi will not come back. You, the acting president, will soon become the official president!"
Kobayashi Masayoshi was secretly happy, but he still said very honestly: "Mr. Ito, I will tell you that I still think about it day by day and night, hoping that Jiro can return safely."
Yuhiko Ito smiled and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, I called here not because I was polite to you, but because I had a business to cooperate with you."
Ito Yuhiko said in a serious tone: "I have always been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's prospects, you should know this."
"Yes!" Kobayashi said respectfully: "I have heard of this for a long time! Thank you for your importance to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical!"
Ito Yuhiko said again: "I have always wanted to invest in Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. I had already talked deeply with Kobayashi Jiro before, but unfortunately he suddenly evaporated, so I can only come and continue to advance this matter with you."
Masayoshi Kobayashi hurriedly said, "This is fine, I just don't know how you want to advance Mr. Ito?"
Ito Yuhiko said: "I want to make a deal with Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals and make two deals with you personally."
Kobayashi Masayoshi said: "Please say it."
Ito Yuhiko said: "The deal with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical is an agreement that I intend to invest in 30% of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals at a valuation of US$15 billion."
Masayoshi Kobayashi said awkwardly: "Mr. Ito, Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals is now worth about 20 billion US dollars. You offer a price of 15 billion US dollars, which is really a bit less..."
Yuhiko Ito said lightly: "Don't be anxious first, I will talk to you two more deals next."
As he said that, Ito Yuhiko said again: "The first transaction is that as long as you can make me invest in Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals at a valuation of 15 billion US dollars, I will give you 200 million US dollars in cash in private."
"The second transaction, as long as you help me promote this, I will not only give you 200 million US dollars in cash, but also consolidate your position in Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. At that time, I can guarantee you whether Kobayashi Jiro will come back or not.
You can firmly sit in the position of social leader Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd."
Although the Ito family is a top Japanese family, this does not mean that Ito Yuhiko is a generous person.
He has always wanted to invest in Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals and make some money with the wind of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. Moreover, he has always wanted to lower the price of his investment as much as possible.
If it is a valuation of more than 20 billion US dollars, he wants to invest 30%, and he will have to pay at least 60 billion US dollars in cash.
However, if the valuation can be lowered to US$15 billion and the 30% stake is also required, you only need to pay US$4.5 billion, which can save more than ten or twenty billion US dollars.
When Kobayashi Masayoshi heard this, his first thought was that he didn't want to make such a big hole in Ito Yuhiko. After all, this was a price difference of more than 10,200 million US dollars, and the amount was huge.
However, when he thought that he could return cash to himself privately and ensure that he could hold the position of president without any interference, he felt a little moved.
After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Ito, since you have said so clearly, I won't hide it from you. If you can give me 500 million US dollars in private, I will guarantee that I will sit firmly in the position of president.
, Then when I will hold a meeting later, I will do my best to promote the Ito family's investment in Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals!"
