Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 417 After the show, play here and play there (seeking monthly ticket)

  Alwaleed was a very hardworking prince. He was born to a prince of the marginal status of the first king of the current royal family of Oylt. In terms of seniority, he was actually Hasal's cousin.

   Although it was already late at night when his special plane arrived at Neon, he and Hassar arrived at the headquarters of Tao Zhiming BravoPeach at 8 am in the morning.

   "Dear Prince Walid, I'm really sorry to make you come to Tokyo. But I think you will be interested in this business."

   Tao Zhiming, who was baptized by a new woman all night, was refreshed and invited them to sit in the reception room.

   Maehara Mina sat quietly beside Tao Zhiming, listening to their conversation and taking notes.

  Alwaleed looked at this man who suddenly appeared in front of the royal family after getting to know Hassall and came up with a very incredible business plan.

Although that plan, in his opinion, can indeed help the royal family to consolidate and expand its prestige, it can also attract powerful princes to share the benefits of the budget together, and it can also allow some marginal princes to enjoy the effect, but He really couldn't understand why the king insisted on this plan and approved such a large transaction.

  Probably also for Hasal.

  In this way, His Majesty the King really wanted to do something after taking advantage of the big purchase that shocked the world last year.

Alwaleed smiled and said, "Among the friends that His Royal Highness has made, Mr. Tao not only can play with him, but also has such excellent business skills, which is really unique. I am also willing to make friends with Mr. Tao. Friends, as for business, there is always a chance to do it.”

  Hasar smiled and said, "Speaking of business, brother Walid, I would also like to thank your family for voting in favor."

   "It was always a good thing."

The matter was promoted in two steps. First, Hasal, who only knew how to play, got a copy of the holding company "Royal Vision" from nowhere. Companies, royal trusts and undisclosed royal department stores.

  Meilleurt is responsible for some charitable basic investment projects, and the Royal Trust has introduced the method of property trust, so that members of the royal family can receive an additional daily expenses. The Royal Department Store, on the other hand, provides exclusive luxury goods and other products and services for members of the royal family.

At the end of last year, this plan was passed among the royal family members. When choosing the service provider for the royal family trust and the royal family department store, the king strongly supported Hassal, who had been pushed to the position of the executive president of the royal family vision. Tao knows fate.

   The condition of first providing services this year and then paying at the end of the year is enough to kill other competitors.

  Alwaleed thought about this, and asked with a smile, "What is the specific situation of Columbia Pictures that His Highness Hassal said?"

  Since Tao Zhiming invited him in advance, Maehara Kyumina took out a prepared document.

   "Prince Walid, please take a look first, this is the background check I did."

As he watched, Tao Zhiming said: "The history and value of Columbia Pictures need not be mentioned. In short, the debt now exceeds 1.5 billion yuan, and the operation in the past few years has been at a loss. Shareholding 49 % of Coca-Cola and other institutional shareholders want to launch. Now, Neon's Sony is talking to them about an acquisition. Sony only wants to take over 49% of Coca-Cola, but Columbia Pictures only accepts 100% acquisitions at a premium. ."

  Alwaleed frowned, briefly read the financial information that Tao Zhiming had arranged in it, and said, "Mr. Tao is also interested in such conditions?"

   "Sony is collecting money." Tao Zhi said succinctly, "Sony, I have to buy it."

  Alwaleed moved in his heart, watching him without speaking.

   "The details are very complicated." Tao Zhiming looked at Jiu Mina Maehara, "You go to work first, I will talk to the two princes for a long time, and come back in an hour."

   When she left, Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "Telling her these words a little bit hurt her feelings for the country. Prince Walid, have you heard of the Toshiba incident before?"

   Immediately, Tao Zhiming didn't talk about the background of the US capital wanting to harvest neon in a big way. He just started from the Toshiba incident and talked about the predicament that the Mitsui Consortium is now facing and the price that must be paid.

  Alwaleed's eyes lit up frequently as he looked at Tao Zhiming.

   It is now obvious that the plan that Hassar came up with must have come from his hand. Only this kind of person with a broad vision and strong strength can afford the pressure and risk of making an advance to serve the royal family of Oylt.

  The inside story of the Columbia Pictures acquisition, he can know, is also because of the close relationship with the Mitsui Consortium.

"…All in all, Sony is willing to buy Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures only because the copyrights of the music, movies, and TV series owned by each other can help Sony promote the Betamax format video tape. Sony has spent huge sums of money to develop this standard, previously There's a lot of competition with the VHS format. But now, the acquisitions are a bit stale."

Tao Zhiming said unceremoniously: "The previous acquisition of Columbia Records for 2 billion yuan was after Black Monday. Sony probably paid an additional 750 million yuan. This time to acquire Columbia Pictures, Sony will pay additional The amount paid may be around 2 billion yuan."

   "Mr. Tao, what are your thoughts?"

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "All Sony needs is to use Columbia Pictures to help them promote the Betamax standard and promote their VCR and home camera sales. I can ask Mitsui to form another joint venture, with Sony paying more and taking less. We will pay less and take more shares. After the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, Sony will give them the conditions they need, they will be responsible for the operation, and they must promise performance to our shareholders. If this cannot be achieved, or the Betamax standard fails, Sony exits at a low price, and we take full control of Columbia Pictures.”

  Alwaleed is still very puzzled: "If Columbia Pictures has been unable to make profits and the stock price will not rise, then what is the point of our investment?"

"Sony has to shoulder the burden of Columbia Pictures, and he has to do it well." Tao Zhiming said clearly, "If Sony can't do it well, it must be handed over to us, then we will use far less in combination. Get this company outright at the current price. If Prince Waleed is interested in participating, I can also sign an agreement with you, and I can make Columbia Pictures up!"

   "Are you sure about this?" Alwaleed was surprised.

"Of course." Tao Zhiming nodded affirmatively, "Now, I have a video rental company in the United States, which is already the largest video rental chain store brand in the United States. I also have experience in investing in movies and TV series in Neon and Xiangdao. Hong has a sales network of audio and video products such as Dimension Bookstore, there is a film and video company in Xiangdao, and I also have shares in TV Tokyo and Hongdao TV. These are the confidence that I can get more shares when I negotiate with Mitsui, and it is also my future. The reason for having the confidence to make Columbia Pictures successful.”

  Alwaleed nodded slightly: "Very convincing."

"Anyway, now the Mitsui Consortium needs money to do this. I can do my best to help Sony. If Sony succeeds, we will earn more than them with a higher percentage of shares for less money; if Sony fails, And I."

  Alwaleed laughed and asked, "Then why do you want to work with me? I heard that Mr. Tao has a lot of friends."

"Prince Hasal admires you very much." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "The royal trust is to entrust those principals for financial management, and a large number of accounts also need a reputable bank. I hope to deepen friendship with Prince Walid. ."

   "Speaking of the money, didn't Hassar say that after the funds arrive in the second half of the year, will it be handed over to you for operation?" Alwaleed understood what he meant and couldn't help but be proud.

"It is not appropriate to leave it to a company to take care of it, at least in the early stage, it will cause unnecessary worry and criticism." Tao Zhiming replied with a smile, "Prince Walid is also a genius of investment, we will work together for the royal trust. Do a good job!"

  …

  Li Jiaxin was expecting Tao Zhiming to take her to Hokkaido skiing in the afternoon on a private plane, but she was let go.

  Fortunately, after Tao Zhiming was done with his work in the afternoon, he came to pick her up and went to Taoranting together.

  Here today is Hong Yu, who was renamed Tao Zhimei. She saw a hint of surprise in Li Jiaxin's eyes, and then she obediently didn't ask anything.

  Li Jiaxin just thought she was the geisha who was introduced by Tao Zhiming as a "library pavilion", but she was very curious.

Tao Zhiming briefly introduced where the food booth is, and what the situation of geisha is generally now, and then said: "I missed my appointment today, and I must arrange it next time. I have negotiated billions of dollars with Prince Hasar and Prince Walid. Mi Yuan's business, I have to implement it as soon as possible. After a while, there will be people who can compete for the next chairman of the Neon Mitsui Consortium, and the president of their company Sony. Sony needs no introduction, Morita Shifu is a very powerful person. entrepreneurs.”

   "Sony's boss?" Li Jiaxin was taken aback. Of course, this is a famous name, and it needs no introduction at all, and then he asked in even more shock, "Anyone on Sony?"

   "Neon now has six major consortiums, and each of them has assets in units of 100 billion yuan."

  Li Jiaxin was apprehensive: "Is it okay to take me to see them? If you are busy, you don't have to accompany me."

   The billion-dollar business, no wonder he had to change his arrangement. To see such a big man in such a wealthy conglomerate, Li Jiaxin is not stupid after all, and he can distinguish the importance of it.

   "It doesn't matter, I like you just like you. I'm not even afraid of Shana knowing that she knows, and I'm afraid of others?"

   Li Jiaxin heard sweetly and nodded happily.

  Tao Zhiming put his arms around her waist and rubbed it: "It's just the neon language I'm talking to them later, and you can't understand it. Anyway, seeing that everyone's wine glasses are empty, just pour it for you."

"I see."

   Nojima Tatsuo and Morita Tatsuo arrived on time.

   They were also a little surprised when they saw Li Jiaxin.

   Tao Zhiming said a little embarrassedly: "Nojima-san, Morita-san, I'm really sorry. A woman I liked very much on Kashima's side came to Tokyo to find me."

  Nojima Tatsuo gave him a mocking look, but just nodded politely to Li Jiaxin.

   The first few sentences have to be greeted, and Tao Zhiming also acts as a translator.

   Introduced that she was the beauty pageant champion of Xiangdao last year. Nojima Tatsuo and Mrs. Morita Zhao praised Li Jiaxin a few words. Although she was reserved, her heart was full of beauty.

  Tao Zhiming also said that he really liked her, and he hadn't even told the Ueda family about her existence. Tatsuo Nojima was overjoyed by his distressed appearance.

   This is a good sign. He let himself know such a secret thing, which means that the relationship is closer.

   So Nojima Tatsuo also spoke bad Chinese and said sincerely to Li Jiaxin: "Tao Jun is a very responsible man, please get along well!"

Li Jiaxin was a little strange, and Tao Zhiming explained with a smile: "Brother Nojima is the successor of the chairman of the Mitsui Consortium. The business of the Mitsui Consortium is all over the world, and he is very powerful. President Shengtian has business in Xiangdao and the mainland, presumably He can also speak Chinese. I have cooperation with Mitsui in the semiconductor factory in Xiangdao, and there will be more cooperation in the future.”

   Seeing how he took good care of this woman, Nojima Tatsuo couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Tao Zhiming just wanted to make an impression in front of some people in Neon. He had a new love in Xiangdao, and he was very fond of him. In this way, it will be natural to spend money to buy houses and companies in Xiangdao in the future.

   This is one of the purposes of bringing Li Jiaxin to meet them. In addition, she also has to set her vision high in her mind from the beginning. The more she relies on herself, the better she will beat in the future.

   The beginning is the president of a world-famous company like Sony, and the next president of the Neon Consortium. In the mere Xiangdao, only those old men can bring her this feeling. Not to mention whether those old men would bring her to such an occasion, if they did, could they be younger, more handsome, and more energetic than Tao Zhiming?

   entered the topic, Tao Zhiming and they all talked in neon language.

   Sony's status quo, Nojima Tatsuo did not avoid Tao Zhiming before.

   After discussing with Hassall and Walid in the morning, Tao Zhiming also came up and gave Sony a big gift: in the large order of the Oyalt royal family, electronic products will go from Sony. The people behind the specific number are going to connect, but Tao Zhiming has already named those luxury custom-level ones first. You know, the Oylt royal family has a soft spot for gold plating.

  Tao Zhiming clearly wants these almost huge profits, although the total order value of this part is only several million yuan, it is not enough for Morita Zhaofu to pay attention. But after all, it is face-to-face right now, and today we are going to talk about other important things, so he still sincerely thanks him.

   At this time, Tao Zhiming said solemnly: "Noshima-sang, Shengtian-sang, I acquired a company called Blockbuster in the United States, and it developed very well last year..."

   In the fields of film and television, music, and media, Tao Zhiming's previous layout has indeed formed a sufficiently attractive layout, so what he said at this time is reasonable in the ears of Morita Tatsuo and Nojima Tatsuo.

   Only one thing.

Tao Zhiming said embarrassedly: "Brother Nojima, you also said that Citibank raised the price, but they didn't just look for me. It just so happened that Prince Hasar has a cousin named Walid. This is in the royal family. The prince on the fringe is the owner of the best commercial bank in Oylt. These two princes are more vain and playful. They are very interested in the invitation of Citibank, and then ask for Pull me together to fund and participate.”

  Nojima Tatsuo heard him talk about some situations before, so he asked: "Because of funding problems?"

Tao Zhiming nodded: "The long-term partner of the royal family is tempting, but the pressure is indeed not small now. But for the future, I still agreed to him. I also put forward a condition that if we want to cooperate, we will cooperate with Sony. Compared with him and Citibank, I still admire Morita-san's management ability. I have cooperated with Mitsui in many aspects, and now I want to find a way to sell some assets and help Sony take down Columbia Pictures. "

  Nojima Tatsuo and Morita Tatsuo looked at each other, and they couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing until they knew the conditions.

   "Tao Jun, how much can you pay? What conditions do you want?"

"Since I'm going to do this, I've figured it out. In addition to finance and yachts, Neon will focus on entertainment. Real estate... Brother Nojima, you know it. I'll let go of it as soon as possible, and I'll lose if I lose some. Some." Tao Zhiming pretended to be a pity, "Those two princes want to take advantage of my resources and my little 'talent' in entertainment, we both take a little more share. The specific funds, We can add up to 1.5 billion yuan."

   "Own more shares?" Nojima Tatsuo and Morita Takuo were embarrassed at the same time.

Tao Zhiming nodded: "We all know that the current premium of nearly 30% is unreasonable. My resources and the help that I will bring to Columbia Pictures in the future will not be of extra value, and there should be cooperation agreements. But our capital contribution can only be counted according to the current share price.”

  Nojima Tatsuo remained silent.

"I understand that this is equivalent to a larger share premium for you. However, Sony and Mitsui do not need to allocate an additional 1.5 billion yuan of funds. This 1.5 billion yuan of funds can be used in other places that can generate more income, Isn't it a better choice?" Tao Zhiming looked at Tatsuo Nojima, "Brother Nojima, if Mitsui can expand cooperation with me in the semiconductor field, my WanderDance land can be sold for 1.5 billion yuan to Mitsui. Also, my dance hall continues to lease that land to operate."

   Nojima Tatsuo moved in his heart. The current price of the land is actually slightly more than 1.5 billion yuan.

   As the two tacitly agreed before, even if the neon bubble will burst on the day, the first one that will fall will only be the stock market. At that time, there will be a lot of money pouring into the real estate field, because it can hedge. Although everyone knows that real estate will always fall back to a reasonable range, under the mentality of gamblers, they will bet that they will not be the last to take over.

  Mitsui has Neon's top-level information and intelligence advantages, and of course it can beat this time difference.

   The price of real estate, as assessed by the research department within the consortium, has at least a 20% room for growth. 1.5 billion yuan, and earning 300 million yuan in about two years is also very impressive. If there is more hype, maybe more.

A major event like    couldn't be settled in a hurry, but Tao Zhiming threw the bait out after all.

   After they left, Li Jiaxin asked, "I always hear you from Colombia, Colombia, is it Colombia?"

   This is a bit confusing, but Tao Zhiming understands it. Many words in the neon language are originally transliterations of foreign words.

   So he put Li Jiaxin in his arms and whispered, "I'll tell you this secret if you can keep it from talking nonsense."

   "Of course I won't talk nonsense!"

  Tao Zhiming laughed and said: "There is a good opportunity, I can buy Columbia Pictures in the United States together with Sony and enter Hollywood."

   Li Jiaxin's heart was shocked, Columbia Pictures, who in the entertainment industry could not know?

  Going to Hollywood...she had a whimper.

   Then Tao Zhiming became distressed: "It will cost 1.5 billion yuan...headache..."

   The third shift is completed, and the repair is completed. Today is 15,000+ again, ask for a monthly pass!
