four hundred and ninetieth: The wolf is coming

The impact of the incident at the Brunei Publishing House gradually dissipated. Later, Su Jie and Shizuka Hiratsuka went to chat with Yang Nao, and the matter soon stopped fermenting.

Chiharu Yukinoshita, who is Yangno’s mother, is at fault, and Yangno himself is aware of this, and there is no rift in the relationship between Hiratsuka and Shizuka because of this incident.

In the days that followed, Su Jie devoted himself to drawing manga at home, working almost ten hours a day, and the main target of his painting was One Piece.

Taking advantage of the enthusiasm brought about by the exposure of the fan signing event at the International Convention and Exhibition Center, Su Jie will serialize several chapters in almost every issue, so as to increase the heritage and popularity of Brunei Publishing House to the greatest extent. Yukino promised.

Because the days are too busy, Su Jie spends less time with Shizuka Hiratsuka. Fortunately, Shizuka Hiratsuka is very understanding. After all, she will be busy teaching time. Except for weekends, the two will find time to get together and usually date On the contrary, the time to meet is not as much as when we are studying. After all, at that time, we could see each other five days a week.

In such a fulfilling day, two months passed in a blink of an eye. Toyosaki Academy began its winter vacation, and Shizuka Hiratsuka had more time.

And Su Jie is also planning to temporarily stop the crazy serialization of “One Piece”. After all, this was an evergreen work that has been serialized for more than 20 years. It is impossible for Su Jie to finish painting in a short time. After attracting and developing the habit of watching each issue, Su Jie has no problem slowing down the update speed.

When Su Jie planned to rest for a while, looking back, the success of these two months of hard work was enough to make Su Jie proud, and all the efforts were worthwhile.

“One Piece” has achieved great success in the comics industry. Relying on Su Jie’s fame and good market, this comic has attracted much attention since its appearance, and Su Jie’s crazy updates have added a fire to it , causing “One Piece” to achieve faster and greater success than the previous life.

During Su Jie’s serialization of “One Piece”, all the charts related to comics in Japan were swept by “One Piece” without exception.

In the top ten list of various comics, most of them are other works of Su Jie. After this phenomenon was reported by various media, Su Jie’s status was further established. The name of the number one person in the comics industry is no longer It’s just a spontaneous slogan of Su Jie’s fans, but it has become the common acquiescence of many comic fans and publishing houses in the comic industry.

Relying on this shareholder style, the development of Brunei Publishing House is also making great strides forward. Xue Nai’s original promise to Su Jie is becoming a reality step by step. As two months have passed, the “Liu Li Shrine” magazine under Brunei Publishing House has published every month. The sales volume of the period exceeded 3 million, and the gap between the 4 million sales of the leading “Weekly Shonen Jump” is actually very small. The sales of “Glass Shrine” will be as short as “Weekly Shonen Jump” in half a year. On par, then overtake it.

Not only Brunei Publishing House, but also two companies, Firefly Animation and Panda Games, have also developed smoothly, continuously creating huge wealth for Su Jie, and quickly filling Su Jie’s purse that has dried up because of investing in Jingxue Nai Paradise stand up.

“Chairman, Goldman Sachs Group’sRhett is coming to visit, do you need to meet up? ”

In Firefly Company, as soon as Su Jie came to the company today, secretary Yuka Xingjin came to report.

“Fred, he called me before, didn’t he tell him clearly that I have no need for financing and listing, you go and deal with it first, and I will pass by later.” Su Jie frowned slightly, somewhat Helplessly waved his hand, and asked Xingjin Yuka to stabilize the situation first.

“Okay, but President, I think the other party may not give up so easily. Venture capital companies like the other party are hungry wolves who don’t give up when they see meat. Unless there is no profit, they are the most difficult to deal with. a group of people.”

Yuka Xingtsu nodded. The Fred she was talking about was the general manager of Goldman Sachs Group in Japan. He was in charge of all the affairs of Goldman Sachs Group in Japan. Among them, the investment department was the most important, and the purpose of the other party’s visit was very simple. He just hopes to become a shareholder of Firefly Animation Company, including several other companies owned by Su Jie, who are also among the targets.

This is actually not the first venture capital firm to approach Su Jie. Citigroup Salomon Smith Barney, Credit Suisse First Boston, JPMorgan Chase, and some venture capital firms in Japan have all contacted Su Jie before. It is well-known internationally. In Japan, a capitalist country, the charm of money is infinite, and the energy of these companies that rely on money operations is not ordinary.

“I don’t have to talk about the company’s listing. Even if I really want to go public, I won’t choose now. Forget it, you can tell that Fred directly, and say that I don’t have time to meet him, so as to save trouble.” Su Jie asked Xingjin Yuka to leave, wanting to take the initiative to avoid these troubles.

In fact, these venture capital companies approached Su Jie because of the fan signing event at the International Convention and Exhibition Center two months ago.

The fan signing event at that time was extremely sensational in Japan, making Su Jie’s popularity soaring to its peak, and naturally more people saw Su Jie.

Since then, Su Jie, a man who plays an important role in Japan’s ACG industry, has surfaced and quickly attracted the attention of some people. Later, when the people from the venture capital company investigated Su Jie, they were shocked to find that a newly promoted The chaebol was born right under their noses.

The new ACG industry chain, which was not paid much attention before, brought Su Jie wealth every year, so much that many venture capital companies’ eyelids twitched and their eyeballs turned red.

Thinking about Su Jie’s establishment of a few companies in only two or three years, he was able to throw in a billion dollars to build Jingxue Nai Paradise. Without taking a single loan from the bank, you can know how profitable Su Jie’s companies are.

In particular, Su Jie’s companies, except for Panda Game Company, are all wholly owned by Su Jie, and all three companies are high-quality assets that have not been listed. , It is not surprising that Su Jie is entangled.

What these venture capital companies are asking for is nothing more than wanting to invest in these companies of Su Jie, and then operate and go public. Relying on Su Jie’s reputation and the booming ACG market, the market value will increase several times or even ten times after listing. It’s not a myth, and whether it’s direct cashing out or holding shares for sale, the profits here are huge.

Moreover, with Su Jie’s reputation as a guarantee, relying on Su Jie’s image of producing high-quality animations, games and graphic novels, no one would think that Su Jie’s company will lose money. The market and stockholders welcome it, and it is certain to make money, it is just a question of how many times it will be earned.

However, this is the idea of ​​those venture capital companies, and it does not represent Su Jie.

Su Jie is not short of liquidity now. Jingxue Nai Paradise has already overcome the financial difficulties with the help of Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others, so Su Jie does not need to go public to collect money, which is meaningless to Su Jie.

On the contrary, after others buy shares and go public, Su Jie’s shares will be diluted, and his right to speak in the company will be weakened. At that time, Su Jie, the founder, may be kicked out, and the company will become someone else. This is not impossible .

Even if he is not kicked out, Su Jie still has to be responsible to those shareholders. What kind of board of directors will come out? Now Su Jie in the company is very talkative. Don’t expect other shareholders to support Su Jie if you directly oppose it, or when it is not profitable.

Venture capital companies come here for profit, and they will naturally abandon Su Jie because of profit, so even if these venture capital companies are trying to get Su Jie to take a stake, it is impossible for Su Jie to agree.

How good it is to play by yourself. Su Jie is not interested in working for others, distributing the money he earns to others, and he doesn’t know when he is sold.

Su Jie thought for a while, and suddenly saw a group of foreigners approaching, with Xingjin Yujia blocking them, but the other party didn’t intend to play Tai Chi with Xingjin Yujia at all, but just found Su Jie.

“Hi, Jie! Hello, I’m Fred from Goldman Sachs Group. It’s my first meeting. This is a little gift from me.” Among them, a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes and an East Asian face seemed to be the leader. Yes, instead of the blond foreigner Su Jie imagined, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Jie, and he walked over and said enthusiastically.

Fake foreigners? Fred should be the English name of the other party, and it is undoubtedly Japanese from the appearance.

“Hello, I already know the reason for your visit, so I won’t say more polite words. Those of your colleagues have also come to me. Based on your information, I should know that I rejected all of them., At present, my company does not require other people to invest in shares. “Su Jie didn’t go to pick up the expensive watch box gift from the other party, but said very seriously.

“This is negotiable. We don’t need many shares. The price of the purchased shares is based on your current company’s actual market value, which is higher than the actual market value. We are optimistic about your company’s future development. What’s the chance of winning?”

A top manager of a venture capital company like Fred has already practiced his face, so he can’t be dismissed in a few moments. It’s not surprising to see Su Jie not accepting gifts, but said with a smile.

However, Su Jie knows the face of Fred, the spokesperson of a venture capital company. Now if he is asking for a shareholding, he must speak nicely and sincerely. Still fast.

“Sorry, this is not up for discussion. I have no idea of ​​selling shares in any of the three companies, Firefly Animation, Brunei Publishing House, and Panda Games. I have no current plan to prepare for listing. It is a great honor for Goldman Sachs to be optimistic about our investment. If there is Maybe, we can cooperate in other areas in the future, let’s not talk about the stake.”

Su Jie was polite and undeniably determined. When people heard Su Jie’s words, they would subconsciously think that Su Jie was a reckless person.

Many people dare not take a deep breath in the face of venture capital companies, because Su Jie is different from ordinary small companies seeking venture capital, Su Jie is not an unknown person.

Perhaps in the upper class, Su Jie seldom gets mixed up with fame, but in terms of wealth, Su Jie is worthy of many ordinary chaebols, especially in the emerging industry of ACG, basically no one can compete with Su Jie.

“President Su really doesn’t think about it anymore. Our Goldman Sachs Group is very sincere. With us joining, not only will you be able to go smoothly in Japan, but in the United States, our Goldman Sachs Group’s energy is beyond your imagination. For It will be very helpful for you to bring your career to the United States in the future.”

Fred put away his warm smile slightly, and said emphatically, gritting his teeth. Seeing Su Jie’s recalcitrance, he couldn’t help but speak clearly.

This is Japan. Goldman Sachs Group is a well-known financial venture capital company in the United States, and they are very influential in the United States. Needless to say, what is the relationship between Japan and the United States? The other party’s statement is to put pressure on Su Jie.

Su Jie chuckled, hearing the threatening warning in the other party’s mouth, and said: “If you come to find me to buy shares, it’s possible that you haven’t even investigated my interpersonal relationship. It’s impossible for me to let you buy shares. The Tsuka Zaibatsu, the Yuuki Zaibatsu, and the Yukinoshita Zaibatsu all have close cooperation with me, no matter how big your appetite is at Goldman Sachs Group, you must be careful to support your stomach.”

Fred’s face changed slightly. He has been in charge of the Goldman Sachs Japan branch for so long. He is very clear about the strength of the chaebols Su Jie mentioned. These chaebols may not be the top chaebols who control the lifeline of the Japanese economy, but their strength is not tolerable. Xiao Wang, especially the Hiratsuka Zaibatsu, is a chaebol engaged in raw materials such as mining, shipbuilding, and machinery manufacturing, as well as the real economy. It is even more powerful, and some technologies are world-leading.

With the strength of these several chaebols combined, plus Su Jie’s own strength, even Japan’s top chaebols will not provoke them.

And Su Jie didn’t brag when he said this. Shizuka Hiratsuka is Su Jie’s girlfriend. It’s hard to overstate how close the relationship is. Asuna owns half of the shares of Panda Game Company, and Yukino owns the shares of Jing Xue Nai Paradise. It is said that the three chaebols It is a united front with Su Jie, and no one can criticize.

“That’s right, Su Jun also cooperates with our Penguin company.”

A girl with a pretty face, snow-white skin, gray hair and green eyes walked over and glanced at Fred.

The girl wears a Chinese knot on her waist, her long hair curls up on her head to form an arch, and she is wearing a long Chinese Hanfu dress. She is a cute and natural girl, and Su Jie’s friend, Luo Tianyi.

“Fred, we meet again.” Luo Tian smiled first, unexpectedly recognizing Fred.

“You…it’s you Luo…” Fred seemed to recognize Luo Tianyi, but he couldn’t quite get the name, and the impression flashed in his mind.

“My name is Luo Tianyi. When I met you with my father, you praised me for being beautiful.” Luo Tianyi smiled slightly and reminded the other party.

The corner of Fred’s mouth twitched slightly. He remembered that Fred had only met Luo Tianyi once, and he knew Luo Tianyi’s father.

Luo Tianyi’s father is an executive of Penguin Company, and also owns a large amount of shares in Penguin Company. Since the economy of the big country on the other side is developing rapidly two thousand years later, Penguin Company is also one of the targets of Goldman Sachs. Fred once I met Luo Tianyi who attended with his father at the economic exchange meeting between the two countries.

He didn’t expect that Su Jie had such a wide network of contacts. Not only did he have friends in Japan, but he even had connections in China.

“I’m taking the liberty today. Since President Su is unwilling to cooperate, then we can’t force it.” Fred showed a forced smile, shook his head and left here disappointed.

With the relationship of several Japanese chaebols and Penguin companies, such a bargaining chip is enough weight. Although Goldman Sachs is sharp-mouthed, as a venture capital company, their interests come first. When the price they bear exceeds the benefits they get, they will naturally choose to shrink. back claws and fangs
