My capital is quite large.

Chapter 327 Weakness

With the finalization of the sale of 5% of Shin-Etsu Chemical's shares in the offshore market, Li Feng, now a legal shareholder, did not hesitate for a moment and immediately began his old tactics in industrial competition.

In the business world, owning shares in a high-tech company is merely a ticket to legally review the accounts and circumvent barriers at the board meeting.

But if you expect that with just 5% equity, you can get those core engineers who value technology protection more than their own lives to send the underlying formulas for high-purity silicon wafers and high-end photoresists to the laboratory in Xuzhou?

That's obviously a pipe dream.

Although physical barriers and legal scrutiny are airtight, in Li Feng's view, any system that operates with human beings is bound to have human weaknesses.

"Go! Use this 5% shareholder register as cover!"

In the president's office, Li Feng gave Zhao Zhe, the investment department director who had just returned from overseas to report, instructions for infiltration:

"Through the group's shell companies acting as third-party agents in Xiao Rizi, they secretly contacted and bribed Shin-Etsu Chemical's core technical personnel!"

"If double the salary doesn't work, then give them triple! Five times! Ten times!!"

However, Zhao Zhe looked somewhat troubled upon hearing this instruction.

"Mr. Li, we can certainly afford the money, but those tech geeks at Xiaozhizi are too rigid."

"Especially those older core R&D personnel at Shin-Etsu Chemical, most of whom are middle-aged and have spent their entire lives confined to Tokyo and the factory area, they value their families and reputation extremely highly."

"Many of them are afraid to take our money because they're worried about being investigated by the Ministry of Finance and the Metropolitan Police Department..."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhe's report of this objective obstacle, Li Feng did not get angry.

"Since they're afraid of their bank funds being investigated, then look for their vulnerabilities in their private lives and emotional needs!"

......

To facilitate infiltration and bribery, Li Feng specially approved a special fund of one billion yuan!

Through multiple rounds of laundering via a Cayman Islands trust fund, they managed to buy out 60% of AKS's shares from Yoshiki Natsuko, the head of the small company!

AKS Company!

Back then, in the entertainment industry, that was a name that resonated far and wide.

Under its control lies the absolute hegemon girl group that dominates the entire Asian anime and idol industry, at the height of its power: AKB48!

Despite spending a large sum of money to acquire a controlling stake in AKS, Li Feng stipulated in black and white in the contract that he would not participate in any daily operations or idol management of AKS in Xiao Ri Zi's local area, and all management power would still be fully controlled by Yoshiki Natsuko.

What he wanted was certainly not the ticket money those young girls earned dancing on stage.

In today's world, AKB48 and girl group idol culture are no longer just simple entertainment; they have penetrated deep into the bones of every ordinary family and middle-aged man!

Countless Japanese girls from ordinary families dream of standing out in auditions, stepping onto the AKB48 stage, becoming stars in the public eye, and achieving a leap in their destiny.

Coincidentally, most of the core senior engineers at Shin-Etsu Chemical and JSR who possess the expertise in high-end photoresist formulations below 20 nanometers are middle-aged and lead rather dull and monotonous daily lives.

Under constant high-intensity scientific research pressure, they are extremely lacking in emotional support and comfort.

"Giving girls who dream of debuting a stage to change their destiny!"

"This also gives those engineers at Shin-Etsu Chemical, who are struggling in the mire, a chance to serve the semiconductor business of Tokyo University!"

This win-win deal naturally needs to be handled cleanly from both a legal and financial perspective.

All the acquisition funds were provided by investment funds in the Cayman Islands.

On a financial level, the money ultimately originates from a private, anonymous family trust fund located in Zurich, Switzerland.

Even the business representatives sent to Tokyo to secretly meet with the Shin-Etsu engineers and incidentally distribute benefits were involved.

Their labor contracts and social security are all registered under the name of AKS Company, and they are legally and compliantly receiving Japanese yen salaries!

......

Actually, back when Li Feng was still struggling with which entertainment company to buy from Xiao Rizi to make this glove...

It was when Li Xin and her group of friends came to serve them that they casually mentioned a girl group called AKB48 that was very popular in the area, which led to this deal.

"What difference does it make which store you buy from?"

In Li Feng's view, as long as he could get his hands on the photoresist technology, he would even be willing to buy Tokyo Hot and One Honmichi.

But for Li Xin, the casual mention back then was certainly not a simple accident.

She's very shrewd in her little scheme.

In Li Xin's original plan, as long as Li Feng became interested in Japan's AKB48 and believed that this kind of idol group training model had great potential in China.

Naturally, the boss's attention would fall on SNH48, the only domestic girl group that has obtained official AKB authorization and is in a period of rapid growth.

Given Li Feng's domineering personality, once he decides to get involved in the online idol market, it won't be a small-scale affair.

And as long as Haofeng Film & Television becomes the major shareholder behind Siba Media in a logical way.

If Li Xin wants to transfer Ju Jingyi, the top star under Siba Media, to the parent company, wouldn't it just be a matter of asking Lao Han for a favor?

To Li Xin's utter surprise, Li Feng seemed to have never noticed this small company that was deeply involved in the domestic girl group industry.

Faced with the boss's indifference, Li Xin naturally didn't dare to presume to offer a second suggestion.

At Haofeng, acting cute requires knowing when to stop.

How dare she try to influence Li Feng's decisions? Li Xin had already seen the consequences of Yang Mi's cleverness back then.

Thinking of this, she could only helplessly suppress the thought and obediently continue filming on set.
