"Why refuse such a good opportunity? Do you know how many people outside want to invest in Livegate?"

After Nurse Ben, the representative of Ishibashi Office, left, Arata thought about it for a while and finally decided to give up the suggestion. However, Misa and Nao became anxious upon hearing this.

"Yes! Arata, think about it again!"

Facing this pie-in-the-sky opportunity, Nao couldn't sit still for a while.

"Wait a minute, Nao-chan! Didn't you tell me that Livegate does have many problems? Why are you now trying to persuade me to accept the other party's proposal to settle out of court?"

"Well, how should I put it? Due to nurse Ben's professional ethics, I can't reveal to you all the information I know about Livegate. However, one thing is for sure. Horie Hiroki is now the most optimistic person in Japan among the investment community.

entrepreneur. And this person is really great at business management. Didn’t you see that dinner photo? How amazing are the people who support him? With these people together, what other Japanese companies can

Block Livegate’s acquisition?”

After hearing what Nao said, Misa became more firm in her opinion. Seeing that she could not convince Arata, Misa made up her mind to win over Morizono-senpai, who had been silent, to support her point of view.

"Senior Morizono, what do you think about this matter? Having the opportunity to participate in Livegate's acquisition of Sony and Fuji TV is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I don't understand why Arata is still opposing it now. Could it be that... he just wants to

Are you going to cause trouble with Livegate because you want to avenge the former president?"

After hearing what Misa said, Morison couldn't help but glance at Arata. After a long time, Morison said in a cautious tone:

"Actually, when I first heard about Ishibashi Office's settlement agreement, I was inclined to accept their conditions. But now, after calming down a little, I suddenly found it a little difficult to understand why President Horie wanted to acquire Sony.

?”

"Eh? Acquiring Sony is equivalent to winning a new huge market. The brand value and commercial value alone are inestimable!"

"Yes, the truth is like this, but Horie Hiroki has no experience in operating the electronics industry, right? If the acquisition of Fuji TV makes some sense, it can increase Livegate's advertising revenue and the interaction between the Internet and the TV industry, then

What’s the logic behind the acquisition of Sony? Do you mean to embed Livegate’s website entrance into game consoles and other electronic products? I’m afraid it’s not that simple!”

Hearing Senior Morizono's rhetorical question, Arata suddenly remembered something, and then said:

"Yes! Although those who provide financial support for Livegate have a lot of money, but... none of those people have any experience in running this kind of real economy. You must know that the business of making money is different from this kind of industry..."

"Then you mean to oppose it together?"

When Misa heard Morizono and Arata singing along, she couldn't help but said a little disappointed.

"No, I agree with Stone Bridge Firm's suggestion and settle out of court!"

"Eh?"

Arata thought that Morizono-senpai was supporting him, but when the conversation changed, he actually agreed with Misa's suggestion.

"Wait a minute, senior! Didn't you just..."

"I'm sorry, I haven't finished speaking yet. My suggestion is to agree to the suggestion of Stone Bridge Firm and settle out of court! After all, the lawsuit has been dragged on for too long, and it has really caused damage to the funds of Star Circle Society.

It’s a huge pressure. An out-of-court settlement will help us resolve this trouble as soon as possible!”

"But senior, what will happen to our debts?"

"Increase the price and let someone else take over!"

"Eh?"

Everyone felt incredible when they heard this suggestion from Morizono-senpai.

"Senior means..."

"That's right, to transfer the risk, we only strive for the profits we can get! Now, since everyone firmly believes that Livegate's acquisition will be successful, I think... our investment rights should be sold at a good price, no matter what

In this way, let’s first get back the cash flow that can restore the company’s finances to normal!”

"So, should we agree to Ishibashi Office's suggestion?"

"Yes, this may be the best way when the future is uncertain!"

Arata carefully considered Morizono-senpai's proposal in his mind. Suddenly, he remembered the somewhat scornful friend of Shizuka's sister Kana at the last party.

"If I offer my share of the investment, that Harvard talent will probably be interested! After all, my father donated 300 million U.S. dollars as soon as he made the offer. In total, it's almost 30 billion yen. If I want 20 billion from him, I should

It’s not too much!”

Thinking of this, Arata suddenly had an idea.

"Okay, since everyone thinks this is a good idea, let's settle with Stonebridge Associates! I will find a new buyer for this investment as soon as possible. But before the deal is finalized, I still have to earn

We have the approval of the owner of the company, President Nishimura’s family!”

Hearing Arata's final decision, although Misa and Nao still felt a little regretful, but... being able to see the Star Circle Club come back to life is an amazing achievement. Looking back on the pressure everyone has been under these days,

Everyone felt a full sense of accomplishment.

That night, Arata asked Shizuka to organize another party, and specifically mentioned that he wanted to invite Kana's friend from Harvard to come too. I don't know if the other party was interested in pursuing Kana. A few days later, at the party at Shizuka's house, Arata

As expected, Tai met the talented Harvard man named Xiuji.

"You are the Xiuji that I met last time! I'm very happy to see you again today!"

"Ha, President Furuta, you were very disdainful of Livegate last time! Why, I heard that you still chose reconciliation in the end?"

"Ah, well, after listening to your teachings last time, I deeply reviewed my business methods and found that I still don't have the talent to become a president. So, I remembered that you are the only one who is studying here.

at the world-class Harvard University. By the way, I just have something to ask you today. I’m afraid you’ve also heard about it.

With this settlement, our Xinghuan Society was able to turn the feud with Livegate into friendship and obtain an investment share of approximately 6 billion yen. However, the development of the club has been difficult in my hands in the past six months, and the capital chain is somewhat tight. I am not sure now whether I should

First transfer these shares and return the funds to maintain the daily operations of the club..."

"Eh?"

When Xiuji saw Arata's words, he turned around and noticed Arata's worried look on his face. So he rolled his eyes, took it into consideration and said:

"Sometimes, although we encounter good opportunities, we still have to stabilize the fundamentals of the company! If it were me, I think I would try to let the company return funds first..."

"That's it! Before I came here, I was considering whether to sell these shares at a price of 25 billion. In this way, it can be considered a good deal!"
Chapter completed!
