Extras: Chapter 028 The DuPont Family

Whose AKS belongs to?

This question is easy to answer, but it is also difficult to answer.

The vast majority of people are Akimoto Yasushi.

Industry insiders say it is a bag company formed by multiple firms or enterprises.

Including the company's business and employees, they are all organizations sent from other companies to form.

In addition, most of the core popular members of the AKB system were also "sold" to many years ago, after Akimoto Yasushi's right-hand man, Kumiko Isono, proposed the transfer of the household registration theory, they were "selled" to many firms in Tokyo.

So on the surface, AKS is just an empty shell.

The most valuable thing in it is the ownership, operational rights and decision-making rights of the AKB team and all sister groups.

Those members who are still in the "unremoved" or substitute members and contracts signed with the company.

However, Yoshio Imano knew that the real actual controller behind this company was an investment team from Wall Street, the United States, which belongs to the DuPont family, one of the top ten consortiums in the United States.

With the ability of Imano Yoshio, the information he knows can only reach this level.

The reason why their AKS boss’s surname is Li was said by Akimoto Yasushi "accidentally" at an insider's dinner party.

"Although our boss is not from the DuPont family, he has an inseparable connection with a core member of the DuPont family. There have been several times in AKB's members' shocking news that were held by Weekly Wenchun, but why wasn't it exposed in the end? Haha~~

Although Weekly Wenchun has a very deep background, there should be no media in the world that can withstand the pressure behind Wall Street.

When the boss mentioned this in the email, he was very cautious. Maybe even members of the DuPont family were not sure if he was alumni of the university or people in the same dormitory."

This is what Akimoto Yasushi said after drinking a lot of alcohol at that time.

So since then, Imano Yoshio's thought of getting a little power from Akimoto Yasuhiro has completely extinguished.

At the same time, because of the unfathomable background of the boss behind this, Yoshio Imano also made Yoshio Imano have unprecedented ambitions.

Akimoto Yasushi created the AKB empire with his own strength. With the appreciation and financial support of that person, he continued to grow and grow AKS and became the Johnny of the girl group industry. He was also compared with Kitakawa Expansion.

Then Yoshio Imano also wants to be the next Akimoto Yasushi, which is the fundamental reason why he is so concerned about this new group.

I have made some good results. When the one who came to RB, I have the opportunity to seek credit and reward.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Imano suppressed the heat in his eyes and asked again with a calm attitude.

"In this way, regarding the operation model of the new girl group? Should we divide it into AKS and take responsibility together, or set up a new firm separately?"

"What do you think we should do?"

Akimoto Yasushi seemed to have thought about this matter long ago and did not rush to answer.

"I think a brand new firm should be established and responsible for this combination alone."

Imano Yoshio expressed his thoughts based on the background of AKS. In his opinion, the existence of AKS is completely different from the firm established to cater to the management of a new girl group.

First of all, the new group has no underground theater mode.

In other words, they do not need to perform like AKB girl groups, and the activities are mainly concentrated in group theater performances.

This form attracts popularity, and then radiates to album sales, handshakes will be held, etc.

Sony and Lee Hyun-cheol have very clear plans for the new group's route. It is impossible for a noble lady to have a close contact with the fat guy fans in the dim underground theater like AKS.

The kind of person who wears a short skirt and walks up, you can see that the safety pants inside do not exist at all in the new girl group.

Of course, it is not impossible to have close contact.

Buying an album, constantly buying a handshake coupon for the album is the only way, which will also serve as the main source of income for members.

Furthermore, although the establishment of AKS has been rewritten due to Lee Hyun-chul's intervention, the overall situation of the transfer of fat and complex external forces within this company has not been changed.

In addition to these, Akimoto Yasushi was also unable to lack the help of some people around him during his participation in AKS operation and management of AKB group.

These people were all teams built for Akimoto Yasuka in the early days of AKS establishment, Lee Hyun-cheol was overseas through remote control command.

At the local area, Yasuhiro Kawada, who was on the surface with a black background, was instructed by Lee Hyun-cheol, to protect the personal safety of AKB members from being harassed by illegitimate fans and ensure the normal progress of the theater performance.

And sometimes he can provide funds to temporarily make up for the debt problems between AKS and RB banks, but compared with Lee Hyun-cheol who transferred tens of billions at one time, it is not enough.

Shibada Yukitaro's company, office48, which is responsible for providing various positions to AKS, was acquired by Lee Hyun-cheol's investment team at the same time as AKS was established and became the largest controlling shareholder.

Makino Akihiro, known as Akimoto Yasushi, is from the famous Makino family in the RB superpower world. His father is the principal of the Okinawa Art School, which is famous in RB and the founder Makino Makino Makino Makino.

Many funny people who are active in the supernatural world have studied under Masayuki Matsuyuki, or have been influenced by him in collaboration with him.

Akihiro Makino serves as the Operations Director of all graduate students and members within AKS, equivalent to the position of Lee Sooman of S..M.

His influence is self-evident, which is completely opposite to Akimoto Yasushi, who is responsible for singing, will be gentle like an elder when facing members and rarely shows an angry side.

Finally, in the history of the development of the AKB group, the one who has solved many crises for Akimoto Yasushi, the one who cannot be ignored is also the few female operators among the veterans of AKS - Kumiko Isono.

The "transfer" that later changed the framework of AKS and also changed the fate of many members in the group was her.

Moreover, the reason why Iino Kumiko is valued by Lee Hyun-cheol is not only because she has been by Akimoto Yasushi for twenty years, helping this national idol producer to take care of everything, but also has a daughter of Ota PRO firm in her personal background.

(Ota Firm is a relatively old funny firm in RB Kanto area. Since its establishment, it has cultivated many funny artists active in the RB Funny Industry.

However, since 2000, members of the idol group involved in the signing of the contract have been signed, and they have successively signed Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Rieki Kitahara, Yui Yokoyama, Ana Iriyama and Kayo Noro from "Sashi" referring to Rino Hara, SDN48.)

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Oki Production, Lee Hyun-cheol also owns his own shares in Ota Production, but this shares were acquired in the name of Lee Soo-man.

There are only 3.5%, which is sold at a relatively low level on the board of directors. But what makes Imano Yoshio feel really at ease is Lee Hyun-cheol’s connections in Sony. The DuPont family acquired 13% of Sony’s shares through overseas capital injections in the last century.
