Chapter: 1798

If Ito Family invested and then found out that Kyokugen Dan was gaining an unexpected advantage, at that time, Kojima Family would also unite their voices, saying they knew nothing if asked. This way, they could keep the relationship clean and avoid Ito Family from questioning them.

In the end, it's just pretending to be stupid and duping Ito Family into doing what they want.

Kojima Hirohiko didn't know about these things, but when he stepped into the meeting room, the entire management team of Kōrin Pharmaceuticals stood up to applaud and welcome him, treating him with utmost respect. Each person bowed down to him in reverence, making him feel that his face had gained an enormous amount of respect.

Kojima Masayuki went so far as to vacate the chair at the meeting room's head table and said to Kojima Hirohiko, "Chairman Ito, please take your seat!"

Kojima Hirohiko nodded satisfactorily and sat down in the chair, smiling and saying, "I've always wanted to pay a visit, but there was never a suitable opportunity. Today, seeing all of you here, I'm convinced that each and every one of you is a paragon of virtue, truly worthy of being Japan's pillars!"

Everyone looked at Kojima Hirohiko with a gaze like they were gazing at a spendthrift child.

Kojima Hirohiko then said, "I've always held the company in high esteem and am more than willing to support it further. Today, I'm here to discuss investing and signing an agreement. As for my investment intentions, you all shouldn't have any objections, should you?"

Kojima Masayuki hastily replied with deference, "One-untied Chairman, please be assured that we've already reached a consensus before your arrival, and we're extremely welcome to your investment in Kōrin Pharmaceuticals."

Kojima Hirohiko nodded, preventing excess thinking, and then directly said, "Well, I have a lot of matters to attend to lately. I'll be leaving Tokyo tomorrow, so let's just sign the contract now. If everything goes smoothly, I'll notify the finance team to make the payment immediately."

Toshinari Kobayashi spoke out of turn, saying, "No problem! Absolutely no problem, let's sign the contract right away!"

Hiroyuki Ito immediately told the person standing beside him, Takahiro Tanaka, "Tanaka, bring out the contracts for everyone to review."

Tanaka quickly pulled out a few copies of the contract and distributed them around, introducing himself by saying, "Everyone, the investment details are all written in this contract. This time, we're valuing Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals at 15 billion US dollars, and we're prepared to invest 4.5 billion US dollars, holding a 30% stake. If no one has any objections, we can sign the contract now and arrange for the financial payment immediately after."

Everyone received the contracts, carefully reviewed them, and then found that there were no hidden clauses or risks, so they all looked at Toshinari Kobayashi, asking him to take charge of signing the contract.

Toshinari Kobayashi was eager to finalize this matter quickly, so he immediately took on the role of chairman and slapped his signature on the contract with a big hand.

The contract was signed, and Hiroyuki Ito also immediately notified the finance team, transferring 4.5 billion US dollars into Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals' account.

All that remained was for Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals' board members to submit an application to Tokyo's commercial management department, formally changing the company's shares from 30% to Ito family ownership.

Toshinari Kobayashi heard that 4.5 billion US dollars had already been transferred and became excited beyond measure, shaking hands with Hiroyuki Ito and saying, "Ito-san, you're now a shareholder of our Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals!"

Hiroyuki Ito chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your daily operations. Just do well and strive to become the world's top pharmaceutical company, and we'll all share in the profits together!"

Toshinari Kobayashi hastily told his surrounding executives, saying, "Come on, everyone, let's applaud and welcome Ito-san as a shareholder of our Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals!"

Everyone's faces lit up with laughter, and they all started to clap their hands together.

Just then, the door to the meeting room suddenly swung open, and Ye Chen walked in with a blank expression, saying coldly, "What's all this commotion about?"

Everyone immediately looked at Ye Chen, and everyone was taken aback by his sudden appearance. Who is this person? How did he get here?

Hiroyuki Ito hadn't expected someone to interrupt them at this moment, and he sneered, "Who are you? Can you just burst in here like that?"

Ye Chen looked at him and said calmly, "Old man, I'm the major shareholder of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. What makes you think I can't come in here?"

"This is a joke!" Toshinari Kobayashi spoke up coldly, "You're not even someone from Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals, so why do you claim to be the major shareholder?" JrNovels.com
