"Sit down and tell me, what is it that is so difficult to talk about?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"There is a company that invited me to be their external independent director!" Masao Kameda didn't dare to look into Feng Yu's eyes, and seemed to feel guilty.
Without Feng Yu, he would not be where he is today. He can now become the second richest man in the island country. How can he not be grateful to Feng Yu. And Feng Yu also trusts him quite a lot. The largest holding groups have appointed him as CEO and president. His appointment as a director of other companies seems to have a hint of betrayal.
Feng Yu smiled: "It is very common for corporate executives to become independent directors of other companies. What is there to say? Which company is so discerning?"
On the surface, Feng Yu was very happy, but actually he was not feeling well inside. He gave Kameda Masao so much power and gave him so many stock rewards, just to let him do his best for himself.
If Masao Kameda becomes a director of another company, it will inevitably distract some energy. However, since Kameda Masao has spoken about this matter, it means that he has already moved his mind. It would not be good to stop him at this time.
Feng Yu is also really curious about which company invited Masao Kameda. Under normal circumstances, the other party should invite him, Feng Yu.
If Kameda Masao did not tell Feng Yu, but refused on Feng Yu's behalf, and instead wanted to take this position himself, then the matter would be much more serious.
"It is the Soft Bank Group of our island country."
Soft line? Sun Zhengyi!
If it was this company, it wouldn't be a surprise if Feng Yu was not invited. Feng Yu robbed many Chinese Internet companies that Soft Bank had inspected, causing Soft Bank to lose a lot of income. Sun Zhengyi must have a lot of resentment towards Feng Yu.
Moreover, Softbank is also a relatively exclusive company. Most of the company's directors are Japanese, and there are also one or two Americans, but there are absolutely no Chinese. Although Sun Zhengyi has always claimed in China that he has Chinese blood.
There are many people of Chinese descent in the United States, but how many of them still admit that they are Chinese? Most of them tell the outside world that they are Americans, and most of them even cannot speak Chinese at all.
The same goes for Sun Zhengyi. He doesn’t even understand Chinese, so he’s of Chinese descent. In the whole world, there are too many people of Chinese ancestry. Why are there so many Chinese people in the first place
"Why would he invite you to become an external independent director? So, you have already bought the shares of SoftBank?"
"Not yet!" Kameda Masao hurriedly clarified, "I know very well that I have benefited from the boss. It was the boss who gave me this position and allowed me to have what I have today. If I didn't have the aura of director and president of Fengyu Holdings Group , the other party won’t invite me either.”
"Actually, I think he might want to invite you, boss, but when I asked, Sun Zhengyi denied it. He just wanted to invite me. I think he thought he couldn't compete with you, boss."
Feng Yu shook his head with a smile, Kameda Masao, he still comes out of his mouth to flatter you, but it does make people feel refreshed!
"Okay, I robbed Sun Zhengyi of so many investment opportunities and made money. I also made him lose a lot of money on his investment in China. He must hate me in his heart, so it is normal not to invite me. Besides, Even if he invites me, will I go? Even if he wants to join the board of directors of Soft Bank, I will be the chairman, an external independent director, do I care? "
SoftBank is one of the most prestigious investment companies in the world. It mainly invests in IT, which is the best in the world.
In total, it has invested in more than 500 companies around the world and owns more than one-third of the shares in nearly 300 IT companies around the world. Before the Internet bubble burst a few years ago, Sun Zhengyi was not only the richest man in the island country and the richest man in Asia, but also one of the top ten super-rich people in the world.
Unfortunately, after the dot-com bubble, the value of SoftBank's stocks shrank severely, and some of its companies even went bankrupt, causing them heavy losses. But even so, Sun Zhengyi is still the richest man in the island country at this time, weighing on Kameda Masao, and on the heads of other island country financial groups!
Even so, Sun Zhengyi is the same as Kameda Masao, that is, his foundation in the island country is not deep, and it is far inferior to those large conglomerates with a long history.
Those large conglomerates do not have any super rich people on the surface, but the wealth they secretly control through equity may be very astonishing.
This is also why although Feng Yu values the title of the world's richest man, he doesn't take it particularly seriously. Because the assets of those large consortiums are very likely to be as rich as the rest of the country, Feng Yu is still far behind from this.
If the Morgan consortium invites Feng Yu to become an external independent director, then Feng Yu will still have some interest, because that consortium controls assets of trillions of dollars, or even higher.
But Feng Yu hasn’t noticed SoftBank Group yet!
When Masao Kameda heard what Feng Yu said, he immediately said: "That's right, the boss's net worth is actually more than that of Soft Bank. How could he condescend to be a director there? I think they also know this, so they don't dare to treat the boss Make the invitation.”
"But I'm different. Although I have a lot of money, my apparent assets are even ranked second in the island country. But my foundation is too shallow, and my family's status is also very low."
"If I can become a director of Soft Bank, it will be of great benefit to the improvement of my family's status. Boss, I have absolutely no intention of betraying you. Please believe me. If the boss does not agree, then I will refuse. Sun Zhengyi!"
Feng Yu waved his hand: "No, I didn't say I disagreed. Didn't he invite you? Then you just agree. You also said that this is very important to your family. I appreciate people who value family."
"Fengyu Holdings Group does not have many assets in the island country, and its influence is not great. This cannot improve your status in the upper echelon of the island country. If Fengyu Holdings Group is in the island country, then your status will undoubtedly increase several times, and it will be comparable to those big conglomerates. The president and even the president are normal."
"But when he invites you to become a director, there are some other conditions, right?"
"He wants to use my connections, or the connections of Fengyu Holdings Group, to help the development of companies under Soft Bank and the development of other directors of Soft Bank." Masao Kameda said without any secret.
Sure enough, what they value is actually the identity of Kameda Masao, the president of Fengyu Holdings Group. For example, one of the directors of Soft Bank is the CEO of Asia Tiger Island, and another director is the head of Asia at Goldman Sachs. These can bring great benefits to Soft Bank.
These people entered Soft Bank's board of directors and provided great help to Soft Bank's investment and expansion. However, in turn, Kameda Masao's entry into the board of directors of Soft Bank will also be beneficial to the investment and development of Fengyu Holdings Group. I believe Kameda Masao knows which side can bring greater benefits to Kameda Masao, and he will never dare to betray it.
What is Sun Zhengyi’s purpose this time
