Tokyo Literary Godfather

It only took Ohno Nagaharu half a month to contact those small shareholders, and he secured more than ten percent of the company's shares. Knowing that Fukuyamadai and Uchida Kurami intended to sell their shares, those small shareholders had no intention to keep holding on to the shares. In my hands, I even felt that Shuibo Production was nothing more than a sunset company.

In the past, I was able to survive because I had Fukuyama TV as my backend. No matter what program I put on, I didn’t have to worry about not being picked up by the TV station. But once the cooperation with Fukuyama TV is terminated, what will I do next? In this golden age of TV shows, how can a production company that is not too big make a show that attracts the attention of the audience?

So someone is willing to take the shares of this company, and the minority shareholders can't wait to sell them when they see that the price is right.

After clearing the shares of some minority shareholders, Ohno Choji began to contact Uchida Kurami.

"Hi, I'm Ohno, I just contacted President Uchida not long ago."

After arriving at Mizunami Production, Ohno Nagaharu directly told the front desk that Ohno Nagaharu had not had many interactions with the people at Mizunami Production, so no one knew his face.

"Mr. Ohno, please come with me." Because the front desk had already received the notice, he said immediately.

Ohno Nagaharu was led by the front desk to Uchida Kurami's office. As soon as he entered, Uchida Kurami stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "It's Mr. Ohno, you are very punctual."

"That's right." Ohno Nagaharu also stretched out his hand, shook Uchida Kurami's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to be looking for you on the weekend. I hope it won't take up too much of your time."

"Haha, entrepreneurs don't have weekends, please sit down."

Ohno Changji was sitting in front of the coffee table, and the assistant came in to pour water. After the two cups of tea were brewed, Uchida Kurami had already looked at Ohno Changji for two rounds with his eyes.

Ohno Nagaharu specially put on a business suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses today. He looked much more mature and had the air of a business elite. However, in Uchida Kurami's eyes, he might just be a rich second-hand man. Shizu, it’s not like he was sent by a big company to negotiate. The acquisition of Shuibo Production is at least a billion-dollar business, and no matter what, a middle-level leader in his 30s or 40s will be sent here.

Choji Ohno was less than 30 at the first glance, and it is generally impossible to be a middle-level employee in a company.

Although since the burst of the economic bubble, with the collapse of the lifetime employment system, the seniority system has gradually become ineffective, so more and more young people have served as middle and senior management in companies. But it hasn't developed to that extent yet.

Uchida Kurami has many years of experience in the club, and his ability to read people is still first-rate, and he can see through the attributes of Ono Choji at a glance. At the same time, he silently increased his bid by 20% from the bottom of his heart.

This kind of second-generation ancestor is often stupid and rich... I guess he had a dream of starting a business but was too lazy to start from scratch, so Dad Guan asked for a sum of money to buy the company and directly became the president.

Uchida Cang saw his heart.

But Ohno Nagaharu just looked at him with a smile. He didn't look at Uchida Kurami. He didn't have Uchida Kurami's sophisticated eyes. He could see through a person's identity at a glance. There was no need for it, because before coming here, Fujiwara Kei had already figured out the identity of a person. He was told all the basic information about this person.

Uchida Kurami, who was originally a director of Fukuyama TV, opened this Mizunami Production Company more than ten years ago. It can be regarded as an extension of Fukuyama TV’s production bureau. After all, the production bureau is generally only responsible for the core programs of the station, and 90% of other programs are still It has to be outsourced by the production company.

As for the past two years, because of Kei Fujiwara, the core program of the TV station has gradually shifted from the production bureau to the water wave production company, but this is an accident.

Last year Uchida Kurami withdrew from Fukuyama Station's board of directors due to age and health reasons. In addition, Fukuyama Station's recent new strategy is to expand the scale of the production bureau and return more time slots to the station. Therefore, he will no longer hold so many shares in other production companies. Uchida Kurami plans to sell his shares and go to Australia to retire.

After taking two sips of tea, Uchida Kurami went straight to the topic: "Mr. Ohno, Mizuha Productions is a very viable production company with a good financial situation, no debts and disputes, and hundreds of crew members with many years of filming experience. You can start filming the show straight away at any time..."

Uchida Kurami said with a smile, "Moreover, our company's historical achievements are also remarkable. We have been cooperating with Fukuyama Channel before, and in the past two years, almost all of Fukuyama Channel's popular programs have been produced by our company. of."

Speaking of this, Uchida Kurami seems to have enough confidence: "For example, "Anthropological Observation", "Long Vacation", "Homeless Children", "Hanzawa Naoki"... there are just too many. There are so many, haha, it’s almost impossible to count.”

"These programs are not only the flagship programs of Fukuyama Channel, but also almost dominate the annual hot drama list in the past few years. Everyone says that the broadcast industry in the past two years has been dominated by Fukuyama Channel. In fact, this is not the case. They are all produced by Shuibo score."

Uchida Kurami smiled and nodded.

"I know this. Mizunami Production's achievements in the past three years are indeed very outstanding, but..." Ohno Nagaharu pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Fujiwara Kei is responsible for these popular dramas and popular variety shows. program, and it seems that Kei Fujiwara’s contract with Mizunami Productions has been terminated. So how can Mizunami Productions ensure that the quality of future programs remains the same?”

Seeing that the smile on Uchidakura's face remained unchanged, he didn't expect to be able to fool others so easily and make them pay obediently. He is a second-generation ancestor, and he is not a fool.

"It is true. It is indeed a loss for Mr. Fujiwara not to renew his contract with us, but..." Uchida Kurami said calmly, "Producing a program cannot be completed by one person, it requires a team. Mr. Fujiwara is certainly talented, but The success of the program cannot be said to be due to him alone, our company’s filming team played a big role.”

"You should have heard of the famous Yue Jiu drama, right? The Yue Jiu team responsible for the filming of the Yue Jiu drama is actually the crew of our company. To be honest, because of the great success of the Yue Jiu drama, the net worth has increased greatly. Kei Fujiwara is not alone."

"The film crew now has mature shooting experience and advanced concepts from the Yuejiu drama, which is far superior to any production team in the domestic broadcast industry..."

Uchida Kura saw that this was a big statement, but he was not afraid of blowing the whistle. Businessmen don't even dare to brag, so how can they do business?

"I believe this, but I'm also very confused..." Ohno Nagaharu asked with a half-smile, "Although Kei Fujiwara's contract has ended, the team is still there, and the company's operating conditions cannot be worse than two years ago. Mr. Uchida is also an old man in the broadcasting industry. Don’t you want to make some achievements in this circle again? Why are you in such a hurry to sell the company?”

"Well..." Uchida Kurami replied calmly: "On the one hand, it is due to the restructuring of the TV station, which requires the expansion of the production bureau and the reduction of program outsourcing. Mizuha Productions was previously responsible for Fukuyama Channel's programs. Relying on Fukuyama Taiwan, if the company wants to continue to operate healthily, it will inevitably have to transform, but... alas... just wait a moment."

Uchida Kurami suddenly walked to the desk, took out something and handed it to Ohno Nagaharu: "I just had an operation a few months ago and removed a quarter of my liver, so I no longer have any ambition to pursue my career. Please understand."

"I see..." Ohno Nagaharu nodded, "When I communicated with you before, you said that you have 81% of the shares, including yours and those held on your behalf. So if I want to buy all these shares Next, what price do you plan to offer?"

Finally the price was officially negotiated. Uchida Kurami hesitated for a moment and said: "Given my measurement of the value of Mizuha Production Company, I think 1.2 billion is the appropriate price."
