The next night, in a hotel room in Beijing, Feng Yu, Hajime Yagyu, Wilson and a lawyer brought by Hajime Yagyu looked at several contracts in their hands cross-wise.
One is a loan provided by Feng Yu personally to AIWA Company. Of course, this is not a low-interest loan. The interest rate is the maximum allowed by law.
There was also one in which Feng Yu injected a sum of money into AIWA Company in exchange for some shares of AIWA Company, which mainly diluted Hajime Yagyu's shares from 13% to 10%.
Witnessed by lawyers, both parties signed and confirmed that Feng Yu issued two checks from HSBC Bank to Liu Shenghao.
"Hajime Yagyu, I trust you in the management of the company. I don't have many demands on the company, but I don't want something like this to happen again. If you make such a major mistake again, I think according to the agreement, I can force the acquisition The shares in your hands will drive you out of AIWA!”
Yagyu Hao bowed at 90 degrees: "Mr. Feng, I'm very sorry. I promise that I will not make similar mistakes again and will not put the company in trouble again. Although the company still owes Sony more than 3 billion yen, that There is absolutely no problem with the contract. We only need to pay back an interest at the end of the year and the principal must be paid off within three years. The contract is very loose."
When Sony controlled AIWA, the contract was of course very loose. But it has to be said that it took a lot of words from Hajime Yagyu to negotiate the low-interest loan provided by Soniken.
And if AIWA cannot repay the money, then AIWA's brand and technology will have to be compensated to Sony. Sony believes that it is not a loss. Many of AIWA's electronic technologies are better than Sony.
Feng Yu nodded: "This is best. I paid for the shares and handed you the position of president of the company. This is my trust in you. Even Sony does not agree with the market strategic layout you have made, but I agree with you." . I also very much agree with the development direction of your Walkman, and I hope you will not let me down."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Feng, I will definitely make results that satisfy Mr. Feng!"
…
Three days later. The bank executives once again came to AIWA together. When they saw Hajime Yagyu, they were all very proud.
In their view, Hajime Yagyu has only two choices, first. Sell a part of the shares to them, and secondly, sell a part of the shares to Sony, or make concessions to Sony in the market in exchange for Sony's guarantee.
As for repaying the money, they believe that Yagyu Hajime will never be able to do it. If the money is repaid, AIWA will have only one way to sell its assets, including all factories under construction, all shares of the company, including the company's technical information, etc. Just fine. According to the strategic cooperation agreement between AIWA and Sony. AIWA's technical information can only be sold to Sony.
The major shareholder of one of these local commercial banks is Sony Corporation, and the representative of this bank is Ichiro Watanabe. This time the bank came to collect the debt, and it was also led by Ichiro Watanabe. The other banks were just giving Sony face.
They say that AIWA is about to rise, but they can't see it. If Sony doesn't use some means, will AIWA be doomed? Except for the bank represented by Ichiro Watanabe. Even if other banks are willing to give AIWA some shares, they have no intention of taking them. They just want to see AIWA sell shares so that they can have money to pay them back in advance.
And today. It seems that the goal can be achieved.
"President Yagyu, how are you thinking?" Ichiro Watanabe crossed his legs, looking satisfied.
What if Yagyu Hao is not convinced? Come out with the money. If you can't come up with the money, you have to accept my conditions! Will the mighty Sony be defeated by its former holding company
"I've thought about it." Hajime Yagyu said in a deep voice.
"Well. President Yagyu, do you plan to sell part of the shares to our bank, or do you plan to find a large company to provide guarantee, such as Sony?" Ichiro Watanabe asked with a smile.
"No, I plan to return the loan to you!"
"What? Are you going to repay the loan?" Ichiro Watanabe sat up straight. Was he hallucinating? What did Hajime Yagyu want to pay back
He wasn't aware of AIWA's account. Although there was a lot of money in it, it was far from enough to repay them to these banks!
"Yes, I plan to repay the loan. Since everyone is here, let's calculate how much money we have to pay you back, including principal and interest. By the way, I will pay in US dollars. Please calculate quickly. , after all, the exchange rate may change every minute.”
Hajime Yagyu leaned on the sofa and looked at Ichiro Watanabe's shocked expression. He felt very happy in his heart.
Huh, when I didn’t know that Sony ordered you to come? Do you think I will give in? Let me tell you, it is simply impossible. From the day Sony sold its shares in AIWA without notifying me, I vowed to make Sony regret it!
Now you regret it, then you will regret it forever! You want to take advantage of our AIWA, you want to take advantage of Hajime Yagyu, just dream!
"President Yagyu, think clearly, you owe us five billion yen, five billion yen!" Ichiro Watanabe emphasized loudly.
"I know, my company has just received a sum of money, let alone five billion yen, no matter how much it is, this is a check from Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. You can check its authenticity."
Ichiro Watanabe looked at the check in Hajime Yagyu's hand. There was more than one check, but the first one on it was for US$40 million!
Who is it? Who is so generous? Why was there no sign before
Watanabe Ichiro and the others came here in good spirits, but returned disappointed. They got the money, but they were not happy.
The bank executives also regretted it at this time. Since someone is willing to invest so much money in AIWA, it means that AIWA has really overcome the difficulties. The booming sales of the Walkman may not be a flash in the pan. Are they going to get a lot less interest? And there is still such a potential high-quality customer missing
…
"What are you talking about? AIWA company has paid off all the loans from several banks? This is impossible, AIWA will never be able to get so much money!" Norio Ohga roared and almost smashed the phone.
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, 5 billion yen, even if AIWA deducts the payment from the material supplier, it will not be able to raise so much money, unless there is investment from outsiders!
For some reason, the face of that Chinese person suddenly popped up in Norio Ohga's mind, the young Chinese man who bought the shares of AIWA from Sony, or rather from him.
At that time, I could easily come up with so much money, and maybe I could even come up with 5 billion yen. If AIWA's funding is OK, then with AIWA's technology and existing sales channels, Sony's Walkman products will have big problems!
Sony has been supporting AIWA and conducting brand alliances to prevent other brands from entering the Walkman. In this regard, they were successful.
But he didn't expect that AIWA, which they had supported, would now grow to this point, threatening Sony's status. Norio Ohga also felt deep regret in his heart at this time.
At the beginning, it really shouldn't have sold its shares in AIWA, or Sony has only one option left now, which is... to tear up the strategic alliance agreement with AIWA! (To be continued.)
