Why is Masao Kameda looking for Feng Yu?
To borrow money.
Masao Kameda is the world's biggest sex toy tycoon and the CEO of Wind and Rain Holdings. When Feng Yu is investing in crude oil futures, Masao Kameda had also invested a lot of money in Wind & Rain Consulting. He is the richest man in Japan and has lots of investments in Japan. But this time, he is short of money.
This is mainly because Masao Kameda had bought back the shares of the Sixth Sense Company, Google, and other subsidiaries. He still has a large sum of money invested in Wind & Rain Consulting. Masao Kameda does not have much cash on hand.
What does Masao Kameda need money for? Investment. He wants to invest in a company that is closely related to the Sixth Sense Company. This company is called Bridgestone. It is the world's largest tire and rubber manufacturer. It is one of the top three tire manufacturers in the world.
Japan's automobile industry is very developed, and the development of tires is one of the top in the world. Masao Kameda is not investing in tires. He is investing in the rubber industry.
The Sixth Sense Company also had a huge demand for rubber, and they had been working closely with Preston for a long time.
This time, Bridgestone has given Masao Kameda an opportunity to invest in their company. How can Masao Kameda miss this opportunity?
Although the automobile industry had been declining for the past two years, the rubber industry did not decline much. Bridgestone is still one of the most profitable companies in the rubber industry.
Why did Bridgestone give Masao Kameda this opportunity? Is it to maintain a closer relationship with the Sixth Sense Company? Maybe this is one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason.
This time, it was actually because of political relations. Preston wanted to support the younger generation of a family to ascend the throne. It wasn't as simple as becoming a member of parliament. Instead, his goal was to become the prime minister.
Elections in Japan also cost a lot of money. Political donations are needed. Bridgestone has donated a lot of money, but he still hopes that Masao Kameda can donate a sum of money. Also, he can use Masao Kameda's influence as the richest man in Japan to make things foolproof.
Selling some shares of Bridgestone to Masao Kameda and making Masao Kameda a member of the board of directors was a benefit to Masao Kameda.
"Kameda, are you saying that you want to support someone to be the Prime Minister of Japan?" Feng Yu felt that it was a little unbelievable. Masao Kameda was now playing so big that he could even influence Japan's election?
Japan's system was similar to the US. Elections cost a lot of money. Without money, it was impossible to be successful. There was no way to promote oneself in the media.
Masao Kameda might not be the representative of those deep-rooted conglomerates in Japan, but he was the richest man in Japan. He was the Chairman of Wind and Rain Holdings and the Chairman of the Sixth Sense Institute. He was very famous in Japan.
That's why Masao Kameda's political donations were more effective.
Masao Kameda explained to Feng Yu in detail that the person he wanted to help was called Yukio Kyuyama. He was running for the Democratic Party of Japan. If he succeeds, someone will start a rebellion in the Diet to force the current Prime Minister, Aso Daro, to resign.
Yukio Kyuyama's grandfather was once the Prime Minister of Japan, and his grandfather was the founder of Bridgestone. This was why Bridgestone supported him.
Feng Yu remembered Yukio Kyuyama. Yukio Kyuyama was against worshiping the Yasukuni Divine Toilet. At the same time, he admitted some of Japan's crimes during World War II. He was not pro-China, but he was not anti-China.
Yukio Kyuyama had admitted to history, and his methods were gentle. He was against being pro-American. In Feng Yu's previous life, he was praised by Hua Xia netizens.
Feng Yu did not object to Masao Kameda supporting someone like Yukio Kyuyama to be the Prime Minister.
Feng Yu suddenly felt he could not do this in China. But in Japan, pushing someone to be the Prime Minister was very interesting.
"Kameda, how much political donations does he need to win? Also, how many shares and voting rights does Bridgestone is willing to give you? "
Masao Kameda was overjoyed. Does this mean Boss agrees to help?
"With Bridgestone's support and some other donations, I'll just have to fork out 500 million yen."
500 million Yen is around 5 million USD? So little is enough?
"Is it enough? Isn't it too little? If it is not enough, I will give you 5 million USD. It will be counted as my support to you. I guarantee he will succeed. You can ask him how many shares Bridgestone is willing to give you. "
"Boss, thank you so much. I had contacted Bridgestone again and will get back to you later. " Masao Kameda was touched. Boss had used his own money to help him. Masao Kameda was very lucky to have a boss like Feng Yu.
What he did not know was that Feng Yu felt this matter was interesting and wanted to use him for fun.
Feng Yu immediately called Zhang Ruiqiang. "Old Zhang, I have a piece of news for you. Yukio Kyuyama is going to be the Prime Minister of Japan in less than a month."
Zhang Ruiqiang was shocked. "Are you sure?"
"Almost. Someone in Japan is pushing him to be the Prime Minister, and I will help them. I heard this person is considered a moderate and is respectful to our Hua Xia. Don't worry. I will not be involved in this. Alright. Go on with your meeting. I need to get back to work. "
Feng Yu did not mind telling Zhang Ruiqiang such important news casually. But the higher-ups immediately called for a meeting. This was a serious matter.
After a while, Feng Yu received a call from Masao Kameda.
"1 billion USD, 5% of the company's shares, and 8% of the voting rights? I had checked Bridgestone's market value. It is only 11.5 billion USD, right? Kameda, don't you think you are losing out? "
Feng Yu felt Bridgestone's offer was not very good. Although the market value might be lower than its actual value due to the falling share prices, the global automobile sales are declining, and Bridgestone's sales will be affected. Who knows, after Masao Kameda bought this company, the share prices will fall again.
"Boss, this is what I want. I want to buy more shares of this company, and there is a premium. But I had also rejected their offer to market tires in Hua Xia."
Masao Kameda is the President of Wind and Rain Holdings and is close to Feng Yu. Bridgestone wants to use Masao Kameda's relationship to enter the Hua Xia market and become the partner of many automobile manufacturers. Even if it is Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group's exclusive partner, Bridgestone's sales will increase by more than 10%.
Bridgestone is willing to give Masao Kameda better terms. The shares will not change, but Masao Kameda can save a lot of money.
Kameda Masao is trying to get more shares, and he is willing to spend more money to do so. Others might not even be able to invest in Bridgestone, and Feng Yu does not want to miss this opportunity.
Market value does not mean anything. Furthermore, part of the money Bridgestone is using is to buy shares, and the rest is for capital injection. Bridgestone's annual profits are more than 100 million USD, and Feng Yu believes Bridgestone's share prices will continue to grow as the automobile industry is not in recession yet.
"1 billion USD? I will lend it to you. Even if you want to change the Prime Minister's support in two years, I will also help you! "
