Chapter 135 Clear Mindset: What You Really Pursue Behind Wealth

It was around 10 a.m. on a weekend morning.

Kamishiro Entertainment Co., Ltd. held an emergency board meeting at its headquarters.

These old guys, who usually wielded considerable influence within the company, all focused their attention on a handsome face that resembled that of a college student. A hint of amazement, astonishment, and even a tiny bit of jealousy flashed in their eyes.

They must have been so busy that their hair turned gray, or their children and grandchildren already knew how to play cards, to achieve what they have today.

But look at them, not only are they handsome, but they also look like they've drunk the elixir of immortality, so young that it makes people grit their teeth. Even if they do nothing, they can outlive these old guys.

Mr. Sei?

It seems that no one in those big families has ever heard of it, right?

Could it be an old, declining surname?

Various memories flashed through everyone's minds, but they still couldn't find a trace of them.

Or is it that investors have already set their sights on Shendai Entertainment and want to enter the market?

While the board members were still racking their brains trying to figure it out, Junichi Sei had already finished his brief remarks and turned his attention to Yoriichi Okita.

At this moment, Chairman Okita, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, no longer possessed the fierce temper he displayed in Studio 7, where he fired a top agent without a word. His demeanor and speech exuded elegance.

Rather than a president of a listed company who emerged from the corpses of capital, he is more like a teacher who teaches Mandarin.

However, the faint glint of light in his eyes constantly reminded everyone that this sleeping tiger was merely taking a nap.

Facing this young man whose background was so clean that even the record of him using girls' underwear as a head covering in elementary school could be investigated, Okita Yoriichi adopted a very humble posture, firmly grasped Sei Junichi's hands with both hands, and said with a smile: "Although the time was a bit short, I am very grateful to Se-san, oh no, Director Sei, for taking the time to participate in this shareholders' mobilization meeting. On behalf of all the board members, I welcome you to officially become an independent director of our Kamishiro Entertainment."

Clap clap clap clap!

As soon as he finished speaking, the other board members stood up and applauded generously.

As the third largest shareholder on the board, even though he is an independent director who cannot participate in the company's operations, he is still highly regarded by everyone.

Because these independent directors, who represent only themselves and have no internal connections, are often the ones that small groups within companies most want to win over.

With so many shares, when opinions among shareholders are divided and the voting results are close, it is easy to gain the final say in important initiation projects, or even directly overstep one's bounds and join forces with the second largest shareholder to remove the title of Chairman Okita Yoriichi.

As Okita Yoriichi made a gesture of pressing down in the air, the entire conference room fell silent instantly.

This also shows that the other party has long held considerable power.

This was also a subtle way of putting pressure on Junichi Sei.

Junichiro Sei had no intention of getting involved in the company's operations, and besides, he didn't understand the industry. So he smiled modestly and said, "With Chairman Okita personally steering the ship and all the seniors working together, the Kamishiro chariot will surely be unstoppable and leave a lasting mark on the entire entertainment industry. I am just a junior and don't understand operations. I will need your guidance in the future. If I say anything inappropriate, please point it out."

Don't worry, I have no interest in running your company. Just don't ruin it, and pay me on time.

Upon hearing this, Yoriichi Okita's smile deepened. As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work," and seeing how adept the other party was at handling things, he patted his chest and said, "Director Sei is young and promising. We old guys will eventually need young talents like you who keep up with the times to take over. If you have any good ideas, please feel free to share them. I believe that with fresh blood like Director Sei constantly being injected into our company, we will definitely be able to achieve win-win cooperation and have a promising future."

Face is something you earn yourself. The art of conversation is saying what people want to hear. If you respect me, I will naturally respect you in return.

In the midst of such a harmonious meeting, Junichi Sei finally became a familiar face on the board. After a few more polite words, the meeting ended and everyone left.

Everyone's time is precious. It's already a great honor for you to be here at this time of year during the holidays. Of course, we can't give you all our time.

Asking for contact information during a meeting is a major taboo in the workplace, as it clearly tells people you want to form cliques. Therefore, no one tries to get close to Seijun at this critical juncture.

Seeing that most people had left, Sei Junichi took the initiative to call out to Okita Yoriichi.

When the latter heard Junichi's question, his expression immediately turned strange.

"Transfer of shares?"

Why are you already thinking about transferring the shares after just acquiring them?

The normal logic should be to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase one's talents, gain experience or serve as a background figure, and enhance one's resume, right?

After Okita Yoriichi truly understood Sei Junichi's thoughts, he finally confirmed that the young man in front of him was not someone sent by the capital market. Including his clean background, which was as white as a blank slate, he was indeed an incredibly lucky guy.

First, he won the lottery, then he used stock leverage. It sounds incredible, but only this can explain how someone with nothing could acquire such a huge fortune in such a short time.

If someone isn't truly clueless, why would they act like they're playing a game, selling off their shares immediately after an acquisition? The stock index hasn't changed much lately; it's just a waste of time.

But I'm still so envious!

Thinking back to when I was the same age, even with my parents' connections, I was still working as an editing assistant at a TV station.

Of course, it was precisely because of that job at the television station and the network of contacts she built that Okita Yuki was able to achieve such success in just eight years after leaving the company repeatedly.

A listed company with a market value of 30 billion yen is always a pleasant topic of conversation.

"Hmm, is it really necessary to wait three years before it can be transferred?"

Sei Junichi was focused on the system's compounding interest, so naturally he couldn't wait to cash it out.

After a moment's consideration, Yoriichi Okita said earnestly, "Since you are so frank, I will not beat around the bush. To be honest, if I had the opportunity to acquire your shares, I, Yoriichi Okita, would probably be the most eager person in the company to do so. However, this share transfer agreement is not only a company regulation but also has legal effect, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Furthermore, didn't Brother Lai learn anything from Studio 7 just now? When a person's wealth accumulates to a certain level, it's just a string of numbers. What our circle truly pursues is the power and privileges that come with it.

Upon hearing this, Sei Junichi also fell into deep thought. To be honest, he had never thought that far ahead before.

They didn't even dare to dream that they could get 10% of a listed company's shares just by winning a lottery.

But after being reminded by the other party, Junichi realized that he seemed to have taken things too for granted.

If you want to get those high-end teas in the future, your current skill level is definitely not enough.

If I hadn't happened to win the shares, I would have really suffered a setback at the hands of that Hondo Isao today.

"Thank you for your guidance, Chairman Okita."

Sei Jun was never an indecisive person. After being given a little guidance, his thoughts became clear in an instant, and even his temperament and spirit seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

A sense of ambition began to grow within me.

Looking at the young man whose demeanor had changed drastically in the blink of an eye, Okita Yoriichi showed his approval and, with the intention of winning him over, said: "Regardless of what decision you make in the future, whether you still want to transfer the shares or not, I am willing to promise you in my personal capacity that I will double the original 1.5 times return on the original agreement!"

Upon hearing this, Junichi Se was deeply moved and understood what the other party meant: "It was worthwhile to meet Chairman Okita today. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will certainly not refuse."

"Haha, Brother Sei, you're too kind. Since we get along so well, there's no need to call me 'Chairman' anymore. In private, you can just call me 'Brother'."

"Haha, in that case, I shall respectfully accept your offer, Brother Okita!"

As a result, the huge meeting was completely swallowed up by the laughter of the old man and the young man. Fortunately, the soundproofing inside was quite good, otherwise it might have caused a commotion.

After all, everyone knows that their president is someone who never shows his emotions.
