A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

  Brook didn't expect Shuichi Minano to be so interested in their company's financing this time!

   "This financing will be held at our company headquarters next Monday, if you are interested, you can come and watch it." Brooke said.

   "Really? I'll definitely be there when the time comes."

   "Okay, I'll make an appointment for you!"

  Time passed quickly, and it was Monday. On this day, Shuichi Minano brought his secretary to the headquarters of the Michelin company. Today is the day when the Michelin company has a financing negotiation.

   "Mr. Minano, we meet again!" Brooke was still very enthusiastic after seeing Shuichi Minano's arrival.

"Ha ha…"

   "Come on, I'll take you to meet the directors of our company."

   Soon Minano Shuichi met the directors of the Michelin company, but at this time the expressions of these directors were a little absent. Mainly companies are going to raise money then their stake will be diluted. But for the long-term development of the company, we have to raise financing!

   These directors were very polite when they met Shuichi Minano. After all, they also knew that Shuichi Minano was one of their big clients, so of course they had to be polite.

   Soon this financing conference will start.

   When Minamino Shuichi also proposed to invest and raise funds, many people were surprised! In particular, Brooke was shocked to see that Shuichi Minamino wanted to raise money. At present, although the Michelin company is relatively famous, it is not as famous as later generations. The prospects are still a bit murky, and many wealthy people are still hesitant to conduct venture financing.

   After all, who can say for the future of an enterprise?

   But Minano Shuichi is very optimistic about the future of Michelin Tire Company, after all, he knows the development trajectory of history.

   In the end, Minano Shuichi planned to raise 10 million US dollars and got an 8% stake in Michelin. Don't underestimate this 8% stake, because after this financing is completed, the final major shareholder still belongs to the original chairman of Michelin, who owns the most 20% of the shares. So this 8% of the shares can be seen that Minano Shuichi owns a lot of shares.

  After the financing is completed, many shareholders own about 1%~5% of the shares, and only a few of them have more than 8% of the shares.

  …

  Although Minano Shuichi is now a shareholder of Michelin, he will not interfere with the development of Michelin. Anyway, he will just wait for dividends. It is sufficient to hold shareholders' meetings several times a year. After all, the largest shareholder of Michelin is still the original founder holding 20% ​​of the shares.

   In the next week, Shuichi Minano visited several companies, but he didn't come across any company he wanted to acquire. So he decided to go to Germany to see if there were any potential companies that he could buy.

I came to Nanye Shuichi in Germany to have a good taste of the customs here. At the same time, Germany also has many powerful companies, such as Krupp Factory, Volkswagen, Henkel, Siemens AG, BASF Group, also known as Baden. Aniline Soda AG, Allianz Insurance Group, Casco Kitchen GmbH, Bosch Group, Bavarian Maschinenbau AG, etc…

   These companies are quite famous!

   But the current companies have basically become the climate, and Minano Shuichi wants to take advantage of the loopholes to get a piece of the pie or buy them without any financial resources.

   It seems that Shuichi Minano finally fell in love with a company worthy of his investment or acquisition, and that is Adidas!

  Adidas, a German sporting goods manufacturer, is a member company of Adidas AG. Adidas, named after its founder, Adolf Adi Dassler, started producing footwear in 1920 in Herzogenaurach, near Nuremberg.

   In the future, it will be ranked 67th in the "World Top 500 Brands" list!

  Minano Shuichi was well aware of Adidas' fame in his previous student days, and it is definitely one of the most extravagant and expensive sports brands. Among the sports brands, the most expensive besides Adidas is Nike!

   Anyway, these two brands are the most expensive sports brands!

   A pair of shoes sells for seven or eight hundred thousand dollars! Those other sports brands generally only sell two or three hundred.

   As a student, he knew very well that if a student can own a pair of Adidas shoes, it will become the capital for you to show off. People will think you are rich when they see you wearing Adidas shoes. Not only satisfies the psychology of comparison, but also satisfies the psychology of showing off and being cool!

  Because a pair of shoes costing 700 to 800 yuan is not affordable for everyone, only children from rich families can afford it.

   In fact, in 1959, Adidas was very famous, and it was also the dominant position among sports brands.

   But one interesting thing is that Adidas was originally opened by two brothers. After parting ways, Adolf's brother Rudolf Dassler opened the sports brand PUMA. Its classic slogan: "No Impossible"

  PUMA is Puma and a luxury sports brand, that is, since 1948, the two brothers parted ways and became competitors! But Minano Shuichi feels that Puma is no match for Adidas after all, after all, Adidas is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

   Minami Shuuichi is planning to inspect this Adidas company now, and prepare to give it to his own Minami Group. He is very optimistic about Adidas' prospect Shuichi Minano. In the next few decades, it will remain the unshakable dominance of sports brands. Acquiring it is definitely something to consider.

   But now Adidas is very famous. It is estimated that it is still difficult to acquire it. I believe that the acquisition funds will not be less. But as long as the price is right, Minano Shuichi will not hesitate.

   The next day, Shuichi Minano went to the headquarters of Adidas for a visit. During this period, he also met Dassler, the chairman of the company. However, during the visit, Shuichi Minano expressed intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to acquire or take a stake in the company, but Dassler did not seem to have the intention to sell Adidas. This made Minano Shuichi very depressed.

   "Mr. Minano, thank you very much for your visit, but my company does not need financing or sale yet. I just want to run my company well, sorry." Dassler said lightly.

  Because Minano Hideo said straight to the point just now, he also expressed his opinion strongly.

   "It's alright, I hope there will be a chance to meet again next time." Minamino Shuichi is not angry, and there is no way others don't want to sell him. But he knows that Adidas will not be able to escape the fate of being funded in the future.
