Chapter 775 Banquet Encounter
"Now, let's honor our heroes and thank them for their courage in the face of danger......"
Surprisingly, a small ceremony was held before the celebration began. The mayor of Hamburg awarded medals to the two policemen and the restaurant manager who resisted that day and awarded them honorary titles.
Looking at the warm atmosphere on the stage and the reporters off the stage constantly taking pictures, Jing Jian felt a little interesting. Although the restaurant manager was a little self-conscious, at least his courage was commendable, and he was worthy of this medal. But where were the two policemen at that time?
Of course, Jing Jian did not spoil the celebratory atmosphere. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Malvin's voice from behind: "Don't care, this is dirty politics." ”
Jing Jian smiled dumbly, turned around and shook Marven's hand: "Why are you here in Hamburg again?" Malven's old angry temper didn't seem to change at all, he himself was also an official, and that sentence just now had already scolded him.
Marven shrugged: "I didn't leave." I was just about to leave when I heard that my father had already arrived. What is there to worry about? I'm not very good enough to take care of myself. Oh, I almost forgot, my father is going to see you later, and I want to thank you in person. ”
"Thanks?"
Marvin looked helpless: "Please forgive my father's stubbornness, he firmly believes that the Red Flag Brigade's goal is me. ”
"Hahaha......"
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Wang Zhi gathered with a group of diplomatic envoys and disappeared without a trace. And Jing Jian is bored when he is alone, and being able to chat with Marven here is just right to pass the boring time.
"Bramble, I still feel like you've fallen for it. ”
"Huh, what do you say?"
"Although I don't know why, you are so optimistic about the current lackluster cinema market, but your goal should be a global monopoly, so my offer should be higher. ”
"Huh. Just take what you need. That's a fair price. If you don't believe me, you can ask for a quote again, who will pay more than mine?"
"The key is not this, but there are two important reasons. Marven's expression was serious, which made Jing Jian also serious, "First of all, your investment, in hindsight, seems to be very mysterious." I don't know why you're obsessed with cinema construction, but I can guarantee that your investment will be worth it in the future. ”
"Huh?"
Marven's expression became more serious, and he said the second reason seriously: "Also, there is no guarantee that this time you are really not for investment, but have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and you will not hesitate to spend a lot of money for the beauty of Mai Ting." That's why you should pay more love luxury tax for the German people. ”
"Haha?" Jing Jian laughed and shook his head, "Malvin, my friend, I just like the way you talk serious nonsense. ”
Knowing that this was Malven joking, Jing Jian didn't care about these jokes. At their level, they will never regret it easily, especially for the sake of a small ...... Cinema in half the country.
"In fact, the cinema chain has a stable profit rate of 8% to 10% per year, although your European cinema facilities and operations are relatively backward, and you need a large amount of investment in advance, but you can also guarantee that it will be fully recovered within 10 years. Baron Jung and a few of his friends are already interested, and my side of the Europa League will establish a joint venture in Germany. ”
Different people have different investment philosophies. Baron Jung likes to be steady, which can bring a source of wealth to his family for a long time, but they don't like the kind of short-term venture capital.
And the cinema line that Jing Jian said is exactly the type they like. And Jing Jian didn't mean to deceive them. As Hollywood blockbusters sweep the world, the global cinema market is also ushering in a second spring, and the profitability will stabilize at around 15% in the next two decades.
Of course, the reason why Jing Jian gave up part of his shares was not only to swallow the original East German market in one bite, but also to use Baron Jung's relationship to peep into the original West German market. After all, European powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy have strong national tendencies in the cultural field and are quite xenophobic, so they have to take advantage of those local snakes.
Sure enough, Marvin pondered, obviously a little tempted. The investment philosophy of the established European families is quite close. However, after being silent for a while, Marvin suddenly smiled weirdly: "Bramble, I can consider spending a few million marks to join your theater, but I believe in your vision in movies, and I hope to invest in the Hollywood movies you are optimistic about." ”
"Oh, you're also interested in investing in movies?"
Unexpectedly, Marven showed a wry smile, and shook his head helplessly: "Woman!"
"Haha, your wife?"
"Worse, my wife and my two daughters. They've been spending money on things they don't understand, and they're saying what kind of money is funding art? God, I don't want to judge their taste in art, I just want to make the art they pursue have some real value. ”
"Hahaha. "Jing Jian has relatives in his heart. Thinking of the large number of "modern art masterpieces" that Zhao Xia moved home in her previous life, whenever Jing Jian saw a mountain of storage rooms, he always had the urge to throw them directly into the trash can.
However, Malvern must have had his own considerations, and the German government at that time had a very high amount of tax deductions for films, and even many Hollywood films were registered as "German films".
In fact, it's all the same, for example, the small movies in the book are basically "American movies". Well, to put it mildly, many of the ocean-going ships are Panamanian. It is for this amount of tax reduction. Therefore, investing in movies, the Hopben family must have various tax benefits.
"Malven, then you have to help me with one thing too. ”
"You say. ”
"We need a lot of former East German equipment in China, and even have the need to relocate the whole factory. The price side is negotiable, but the foreign exchange side is a bit tight. I wonder if your Hoburn family can act as a service provider, providing a series of services such as finance and after-sales. Well, the Chinese embassy and consulates are fully capable of intervening in this matter, and it can be regarded as a semi-official act. ”
"That's fine, but we Hoburn can't afford this feast. Malvern agreed, "We can provide preferential financial services, but we also want to have a reputable and powerful guarantor." ”
"Hehe, don't flatter me, don't say anything nice, I will never take the bait. ”
"That's a pity. Not for us Hoben, but for the merchants of your country who rushed to Germany. ”
"Hehe, Malvin, I can't see that you can say pretty things like that. ”
"Hahaha......"
