A large group of collateral members of the Xiaolin family and corporate executives were all sitting at attention at this time.
The group has been having troubles one after another recently, making everyone present a little nervous.
First, the old president was poisoned and died tragically, then the eldest young master was suspected of poisoning his biological father and was hunted by the second young master all over the world. It was said that he was dead. Then, the second young master also disappeared, as if the Xiaolin family, father and son, had suffered some kind of divine punishment.
However, despite being nervous, everyone is still full of expectations for the future.
Because they have never been able to deeply participate in the operations of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, let alone deeply participate in and enjoy the profit distribution of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, they have always only been able to get some petty profits.
It's different now.
Now, Masayoshi Kobayashi has become the acting president. He has promised everyone that he will release at least 40% of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's profits. If it can be fulfilled, everyone sitting here will be able to increase their annual income by more than ten times.
At this time, Masayoshi Kobayashi walked into the conference room with full momentum.
Everyone has turned their attention to him. In everyone's opinion, Kobayashi Masayoshi is now everyone's God of Wealth.
After Masayoshi Kobayashi entered the door, he went straight to the chairman's seat in the conference room, and everyone else stood up respectfully to pay tribute.
At this time, someone who didn’t know who it was, said flatteringly: “Welcome, President!”
As soon as everyone came to their senses, they hurriedly said in unison: "Welcome, President!"
After saying that, warm applause also broke out.
Masayoshi Kobayashi felt very comfortable in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't use random titles. I am still the acting president of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. If word spreads, outsiders will gossip!"
The person who was the first to flatter me hurriedly said: "Mr. Chairman, in our minds, you are the official president of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical!"
Kobayashi Masayoshi smiled proudly, then put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and said seriously: "I personally still sincerely hope that Mr. Kobayashi Jiro can return to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical as soon as possible and regain control of the overall situation of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.
Before he comes back, I will just take his place in this position and manage the company temporarily!"
After saying that, he raised his hands and motioned for everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, he said seriously: "Everyone also knows that Xiaolin Pharmaceutical can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles. I heard some time ago that a company in China called Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical has launched a Jiuxuanweisan
, this medicine is said to be much more effective than our Xiaolin Weisan, but because this company’s production capacity is relatively limited, it has not yet been exported to our Japanese market.”
One of them hurriedly said: "President, I was about to report this matter to you. My son-in-law went to China last week and heard about this medicine, so he bought a box at a higher price. I tried it yesterday.
After taking a moment, I have to say that this medicine is more than a little stronger than our Xiaolin Weisan!"
Masayoshi Kobayashi said: "If this is really the case, then Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical will probably become our next mortal enemy!"
After a pause, Kobayashi Masayoshi continued: "Moreover, our medicinal efficacy cannot match it. If this continues, their production will continue to increase, and our sales will continue to decline. If Xiaolin Weisan's global market is completely overtaken by Jiuxuanweisan,
If we don’t eat, we will lose most of our revenue!”
Everyone's expressions were grim.
Kobayashi Weisan is the flagship product of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, and most of its revenue and profits are supported by this drug.
If he is really beaten by Jiu Xuan Wei San, then Kobayashi Pharmaceutical will definitely be seriously injured.
So, someone asked Masayoshi Kobayashi: "President, we can't just sit back and wait for death! Do you have any good ways to deal with it?"
Masayoshi Kobayashi said: "There are ways to deal with it, that is, we must increase investment in drug research and development, and quickly conduct a complete upgrade of our current products. If our Kobayashi Weisan can surpass Jiuxuan in terms of efficacy,
Weisan, the market is definitely still ours!"
The person in charge of R&D said: "President, if you want to increase investment in R&D, you will need a huge budget. The company was defrauded a lot of money some time ago. Can it still afford it now?"
Masayoshi Kobayashi said smoothly: "This is what I was about to tell you. Our current cash flow is not very good. The investment in the production base in Osaka cost a lot. Coupled with the previous unexpected losses, we are now able to use
The funds invested in research and development are already less than 50 million U.S. dollars, so my idea is to raise a fund as soon as possible, at least one billion U.S. dollars, to upgrade our drug R&D laboratory!"
As soon as everyone heard that they were going to raise funds, they all sat upright. Someone asked: "Mr. Chairman, do you have a suitable financing target now?"
Masayoshi Kobayashi nodded and said: "Previously, Chairman Jiro Kobayashi has been negotiating with Mr. Takehiko Ito, the patriarch of the Ito family, on financing matters. Everyone must know about this, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Kobayashi Jiro has always wanted to take Takehiko Ito's investment, and even wanted to become Takehiko Ito's son-in-law, otherwise he would not have spent money to sponsor the Sanda competition that Nanako Ito participated in. This has long been known to everyone in Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.
Everyone was even ready for the marriage between Kobayashi Pharmaceutical and the Ito family. Unfortunately, before the marriage was officially promoted, Jiro Kobayashi disappeared.
Everyone thought that the cooperation with the Ito family would also be terminated, but unexpectedly, Masayoshi Kobayashi would now start cooperation with the Ito family again.
As a result, everyone immediately became interested and asked excitedly: "Mr. Chairman, I wonder what kind of valuation the Ito family can give us?"
Masayoshi Kobayashi cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Takehiko Ito of the Ito family is willing to invest US$4.5 billion in Kobayashi Pharmaceutical at a valuation of US$15 billion. After the investment, it will account for 30% of the total shares of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical!
"
"Valuation of $15 billion?!"
Everyone couldn't help but start talking.
This was not the price that Jiro Kobayashi negotiated with Takehiko Ito at the beginning.
At that time, Jiro Kobayashi told everyone that the valuation would be at least US$20 billion.
Why has it suddenly dropped so much now?!
Someone raised a question: "Mr. Chairman, the Ito family's previous quotation was not so low. Why did it shrink so much all of a sudden?"
Someone else said: "Yeah! It has to be at least around 22 billion US dollars, right? A valuation of 15 billion US dollars is simply robbery..."
Xiaolin Zhengyi's expression was a little ugly, and he said: "You have to understand that we are facing internal and external troubles now. Not only is the president missing for no reason, but another Jiuxuanweisan has appeared in China. If we don't seize the time to raise funds at this time,
If Jiuxuan Weisan catches us off guard and our performance declines significantly, let alone a valuation of US$15 billion, even if it is US$10 billion, it is impossible to get it!"
