Chapter 931: Conspiracy to Meng'an
Fujimoto Shizuka sat for a while and left. She didn't drink the cup of tea.
"Sir, what's the situation? What does this Japanese woman want to do?" Yan Lei came in from outside and asked Lu Xiyan indignantly.
"Fuzuka Fujimoto has set her sights on our Meng'an company." Lu Xiyan said slowly.
He had only planned to account for 25% of the shares. He never thought that she would be so kind and give him money at this time.
"What does it mean? She wants to annex Meng'an?"
"Inject capital, I want 25% of our Meng'an Company's shares." Lu Xiyan explained.
"Twenty-five percent of the shares are not too much. We still hold the shares?" Yan Lei said in confusion.
"It's not that simple. I agreed with Monte that I had 160% of the shares, and he accounted for 40%. Later, I increased my investment one after another, diluting a lot of Monte's equity. But later we had a joint venture with Sato Pharmaceutical. In this way, Sato Pharmaceutical indirectly held about 20% of the shares through holding a pharmaceutical factory!" Lu Xiyan said.
“So how many shares do you hold now?”
"It's about 56%." Lu Xiyan said.
"Where is Mr. Monte?"
"He now holds even less shares, and should only be less than 15%. The remaining shares are in the hands of Sato Pharmaceutical." Lu Xiyan said.
"When Shizuka Fujimoto injects 10 million yuan of funds, accounting for 25% of the shares, will the shares you control be less than 50%?"
"right!"
"But even if your shares are less than 50%, you still have the most shares. Even if the shares of Shizuka Fujimoto and Sato Pharmaceuticals are not as much as you."
"Don't forget, there are also shares in Monte's hands." Lu Xiyan said, "I'm very worried now whether Monte sold his shares."
"No, he has a fixed dividend every year, such a large amount of money, even if he spends the rest of his life comfortably, it will be enough?" Yan Lei was a little confused.
"You inform Hanjie immediately and ask him to contact his fourth brother to see if he can meet Monte and ask if he still has shares in his hands?" Lu Xiyan said worriedly.
"OK."
...
For some reason, Lu Xiyan felt a little uneasy. Fujimoto Shizuka suddenly returned to Shanghai and directly targeted Meng An, but it was probably not that simple.
If you invest in such a big deal, Lu Xiyan would not agree immediately, let alone such a large sum of money, especially in the current situation.
It is already a high probability that Japan will be defeated. What can it do if it struggles to death?
At this time, Shizuka Fujimoto insisted on investing in his Meng'an company. Is she planning to leave a way out for herself after the war, or has other plans?
This is still unpredictable for a while.
Two days later, Meng Fanxing had no major health problems and was discharged from the hospital and went home to rest, commonly known as "confinement".
Fortunately, there are two experienced people at home. He Xiaofen and Mengyao are both women who have given birth to children and do not need to find anyone outside.
In the past two days, Lu Xiyan received the most calls from "congratulations". Yang Shuhui also came here in person and brought a lot of nutritional supplements.
Zhou Fuhai was busy competing with Chen Zhibo for the next throne of Wang Puppet, and he had no time to come.
According to Yang Shuhui's words, Wang's time is not long.
Soon, a week passed. After work that day, Lu Xiyan returned home and asked about Meng Fanxing's situation, talked for a while, and then hugged the child for a while. The little guy didn't make a noise, but this was different from his childhood.
"Fan'er, you were born after a lot of hardships from your mother. You must be filial to you when you grow up. Mom, do you know?"
"Xiyan, he is still young and can't understand."
"You have to teach him since childhood and remember it when you grow up." Lu Xiyan said seriously.
"Give me the child, you go and do your business. Yan Lei has been waiting for you outside the door for a long time." Meng Fanxing said with happiness on his face.
"Well, be careful, your body has not recovered yet." Lu Xiyan carefully put his son in Meng Fanxing's arms, reached out and touched the little nose, his eyes full of the love of the first father, "Good son, dad will tease you later."
"Sir, seeing you like this just now, I remembered when I first became a father. I was so excited and reluctant to let it go." Yan Lei said.
"Yes, after having a son, I feel different, and the courage on my shoulders has increased again." Lu Xiyan nodded, from a couple to a family of three, this is not only a change in quantity, but also a qualitative leap.
"The fourth brother called back. Monte was arrested by the Japanese side in Hanoi. His wife Lucy mortgaged shares of Monte and raised some money before he redeemed Monte." Yan Lei said.
"When did it happen?"
"A month ago."
"Where is the equity document about Meng'an Company in Monte's hands?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"It's still under mortgage."
"Give an order to redeem the equity that Lucy mortgaged out at all costs." Lu Xiyan's face changed slightly.
"I'm afraid it won't work anymore. The agreed time has exceeded. The pawnshop has the right to sell the mortgaged equity, so Mr. Monte's equity cannot be taken back."
"It must be her!" Lu Xiyan said decisively without hesitation.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Yan Lei asked.
"You can calculate first. How much will it be if Monte's equity, Sato Pharmaceutical's indirect holdings plus the 25% of the equity that Fujimoto Shizuka wants to invest?" Lu Xiyan ordered.
"It should be more than 50%. "Yan Lei said.
"Sure enough, the plan is not small. It seems that if I don't agree, they will use other means to deal with me. Shanghai is their world now. At this time, it is not a wise move to fight them head-on." Lu Xiyan sighed, "It seems that we must bow our heads."
"What do you mean is to let Shizuka Fujimoto invest in the shares and control our Meng'an company?" Yan Lei asked in surprise.
"If we don't agree, guess what she will do next?"
"Can she still forcefully join our company?"
"Of course, it's enough to just need the name of military control." Lu Xiyan said. Are they doing less in this name?" Lu Xiyan asked back.
"Then let's hand over control of the company to her like this?"
"What else? At this time, we will suffer the loss." Lu Xiyan said, "As long as we cooperate, we can protect at least half of the interests and equity. If we force ourselves, not only will the company not be able to protect it, but our layout in Shanghai over the years will have an impact. At this time, we must put the overall situation first."
"Understood."
"We have seen the dawn of victory, and don't worry about temporary gains and losses. From now on, just pretend that Monte doesn't know that the equity mortgage is being made, and watch others perform quietly." Lu Xiyan said, "From now on, it's the darkness before dawn. As long as we get through it, the light will be in front of us."
"Yes, sir."
"If the Japanese are defeated and withdraw from China, they cannot take the factories away, and they cannot take the machinery and equipment away. These are ours. What we want to protect are these and our workers and technicians. This is our greatest wealth. As for equity, these are not important." Lu Xiyan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said hatred.
"I understand, I will explain the meaning of the fifth brother and the others." Yan Lei nodded. Some things must be explained clearly, otherwise the people below will not be able to figure it out and will easily cause trouble if they are impulsive.
"This is to be made clear. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Lu Xiyan ordered, "Help me make an appointment with Shizuka Fujimoto tomorrow, and we will ask for some time to discuss the specific details of the investment."
...
"Xiyan, I heard you promised to let Shizuka Fujimoto acquire a stake in Meng'an Company?"
"Why is Yan Lei talking so much? He tells you everything?" Lu Xiyan cursed softly.
"Don't blame Yan Lei, I forced him to say it. I just wanted to know what you thought and how could you agree to her investing at this time?" Meng Fanxing was a little puzzled.
"If I disagree, what consequences will be? Have you ever thought about it?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Will they even forcefully encroach on the company?"
"Of course, in this situation, there is no suspense that Japan has lost its war. At this time, if they give up, can we stop it?"
"Since we can't stop it, we have to figure out what they want to do. This is my purpose." Lu Xiyan explained.
"That's why you promised to let Shizuka Fujimoto invest. Do you know she came for our Meng'an company?" Meng Fanxing asked.
"I feel that Shizuka Fujimoto wants to invest in our company, and I'm afraid there is another intention." Lu Xiyan said, "I can't say it for a while, but if I turn her out, I'm likely not going to know her true intention."
"You are taking a risk. If the news of Shizuka Fujimoto's investment in Meng'an spread, do you know what the outside world will think of you?" Meng Fanxing said with distress. At this time, he still accepted the Japanese investment. In the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't he still have to follow the Japanese to the point of being in the dark?
"Some things cannot be explained, so time can only prove everything." Lu Xiyan sighed. He didn't know, but when you weigh the pros and cons, you find that this is the best choice, and what you get is not understanding, you can only bury the pain in your heart.

Meng'an Building, General Manager's Office.
"Miss Shizuka, after these days of careful consideration, I do not object to your request for investment in principle, but I hope to listen to your specific conditions for investment?"
Lu Xiyan made an appointment with Shizuka Fujimoto and made a clear idea.
"Actually, I don't hide it from Dr. Lu. I have another name, Aeko Sato." Fujimoto Shizuka seemed a little surprised by Lu Xiyan's attitude of agreeing to his investment. She quickly calmed down and said with a frank smile.
"Oh?" Lu Xiyan was very surprised. Although he had guessed it, Shizuka Fujimoto was still surprised when he said the name "Sato Aeko".
"My mother comes from the Sato family. I grew up in my grandfather's house since I was a child. So, I took my mother's surname and gave her a name. When I grew up, I lived with my father and changed my name to Shizuka Fujimoto." Shizuka Fujimoto said.
"So, Sato Pharmaceuticals is actually the company of the mother's family?"
"It's the holding, not entirely owned." Fujimoto Shizuka corrected.
"I understand. The shares you invested in and Sato Pharmaceutical are indirectly controlled, and the shares of Meng'an Company you own are second only to me." Lu Xiyan showed a sudden enlightenment.
"Shizuka is just very optimistic about the future prospects of Meng'an Company. Please don't get me wrong. What are my intentions for Meng'an Company?" Fujimoto Shizuka explained.
"Don't worry, I can understand. I don't know when Miss Shizuka's 10 million funds will be in place?" Lu Xiyan asked after taking a deep breath.
"I want to move Sato Pharmaceutical directly from its factory in Kyushu, Japan to Shanghai, merge with Meng'an Company, with a discount of 5 million yuan in equipment and personnel, and inject another 5 million yuan in funds. I wonder if Dr. Lu can accept this plan?" Fujimoto Shizuka asked.
"Why should Sato Pharmaceutical's Kyushu factory be moved to Shanghai?" Lu Xiyan frowned, feeling that it was a little unusual.
"Dr. Lu must have some understanding of the war situation between the United States and Japan. Japan has been continuously bombed by the US military, and the factory has become very unsafe in the local area. If it is not relocated, it may be destroyed by the war. Therefore, we wonder if we can find a safe place to relocate the factory. Based on the good cooperative relationship between Sato Pharmaceutical and Dr. Lu, we chose Shanghai as the destination for the relocation." Fujimoto Shizuka explained sincerely.
