Chapter 1660

At this moment, Yahiko said, “I’ve always been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma, and I am very willing to support your company to take a step further up the ladder. So, I am here today to sign an investment agreement with you. Before we proceed, I wanted to make sure that none of you have any doubts about the intention of my investment, right?”

Masayoshi hurriedly replied in a respectful tone, “Of course not. Ito-san, please rest assured that we had already reached an agreement before you came. We are delighted to have you as our company’s investor.”

To avoid any hiccups, Yahiko nodded and immediately continued, “Let’s cut to the chase. I have a lot of things to tend to lately, and I’m leaving Tokyo tomorrow, so let’s just sign the contract now and be done with it. If everything’s okay, I’ll immediately inform my finance department to make the payment.”

Masayoshi blurted, “Of course! We can sign the contract right away!”

Yahiko gestured at Hiroshi beside him and said, “Tanaka, take the contract out and show it to them.”

Hiroshi immediately took out several copies of the contract and distributed them around to the people in the conference room while saying, “Gentlemen, the details of the investment have been clearly stated in the contract. The valuation of the investment for Kobayashi Pharma is 15 billion, and we are prepared to invest 4.5 billion in your company with a 30% shareholding. Please read it, and if there is no issue, we can sign the contract now, and the payment will ensue after that.”

After receiving the contract and carefully reading it over, they found that there were no hidden terms or risks stated inside it, so they looked to Masayoshi and urged him to sign it quickly.

Masayoshi wanted to settle the matter quickly, so he immediately signed his name on the contract with a big gesture in the name of the acting chairman of the company.

The contract was signed, and Yahiko immediately informed his finance department to deposit 4.5 billion into Kobayashi Pharma’s account.

All that remained was for the members of the board of directors of Kobayashi Pharma to submit an application to the business administration in Tokyo to formally change 30% of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares to the name of the Ito family.

Masayoshi was over the moon when he heard that 4.5 billion had been deposited that he shook hands with Yahiko and said, “Ito-san, from now on, you will be a shareholder of Kobayashi Pharma!”

Yahiko laughed out loud and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t interfere with your daily operations. You just have to do well, strive to become the world’s top pharmaceutical company, and we will all get rich together!”

Masayoshi quickly urged the executives around the table, “Come, gentlemen, let’s give Ito-san a big round of applause and welcome him to join Kobayashi Pharma!”

Wide grins were pasted on everyone’s face as they stood up and applauded loudly.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Charlie was the first to walk in with a grim face, saying coldly, “What’s with the commotion here?”

Everyone instantly looked at Charlie and was dumbstruck. ‘Who is he? I’ve never seen him before! What is his business here?’

Yahiko snorted as he did not expect someone to barge into the room and stir the pot at this point. “Who are you? You’re not allowed in here!”

Charlie looked at him and replied flatly, “Old man, I am the majority shareholder of Kobayashi Pharma. Do you really think I’m not allowed in here?”

“Nonsense!” Masayoshi chided coldly, “You are not even from Kobayashi Pharma, so what makes you the majority shareholder?”

At this moment, Hiroshi turned around to look at Charlie. He recognized Charlie immediately, exclaiming in alarm, “Mr. Wade, why… why are you here?”

Charlie grinned the moment he saw Hiroshi and said, “Tanaka, are you a ghost? Why am I running into you everywhere?”

Yahiko hurriedly questioned, “Tanaka, do you know him?”

Hiroshi hurried to Yahiko and whispered, “Ito-san, this is Charlie Wade, the man who crippled Yamamoto-san…”
