132 Jardine's plan (2)

Xu Zhi didn't want to waste any more time with this old man, so he said directly: "Mr. Bao Fuda, it is impossible to invest in Midea at present, if our company accepts financing in the future, or is ready to go public, can Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson come to invest at any time?" Let's talk about the transaction of TVB!"

Of course, this is fake, how can such a good thing be cheap Jardine Matheson! Even if Midea is really listed in the future, a company like Jardine Matheson is not qualified to enter the market at all.

Bao Fuda said: "If so, 13% of the stock, 80 million Hong Kong dollars, is this price acceptable?

"80 million!" Xu Zhi calculated in his heart after hearing this, if it is a 13% share, the valuation of wireless is close to 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Whether this price is worth it or not, Xu Zhi actually didn't count it in his heart, because TVB is not a listed company at present, because it is a media company in Xiangjiang, and the annual advertising bidding is basically public, even if the TV station is confidential, if someone really wants to estimate, the public business data can also be roughly calculated, rather than being guessed, it is better to say it directly, so wireless discloses its annual advertising revenue every year, basically 3-400 million Hong Kong dollars per year!

But the company's operating costs and profits are confidential data, and the outside world has no way of knowing.

Xu Zhi said: "This price is not unacceptable, but I ask to see TVB's annual report. ”

As one of the major shareholders of TVB, Jardine Matheson has a seat on the board of directors of TVB, and TVB's annual report is confidential to the outside world, but of course Jardine Matheson knows.

In terms of funds, Wang Liming and He Guoyuan went to New York in the United States and put the sales materials of Xiangjiang Cube and Snake in the arcade machine in the United States on the desk of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs was quite pleasantly surprised when he saw the data, and immediately agreed to a loan of 20 million US dollars, which is close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars, and with this 100 million Hong Kong dollars, the shares of the TV station can afford to pay.

Although the first oil crisis has passed, the global economy has not yet recovered, and the interest rate on loans in the United States is extremely high, while the rest of the world, including Hong Kong, has been affected.

In the 70s and 80s, it was the most difficult time for the global economy, and the United States, a country with almost no deposits, had an interest rate of 5-6% on deposits over the years, while the current basic interest rate was as high as a dozen points a year, and it was not surprising that short-term loans reached 20%, so Xu Zhi was also more cautious about loans.

"It's not going to work. Bao Fuda said: "If Xu Sheng reads this confidential annual report and doesn't buy it, then I haven't leaked the company's confidential data?"

Xu Zhidao: "Since this is the case, then forget it." After speaking, Xu Zhi was about to leave!

"Wait. A voice came from behind, and Bao Fuda said: "Xu Sheng, so impatient, it's not suitable for business negotiations!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "It's still the same sentence, if there is no benefit, there is no need to waste patience!"

Bao Fuda smiled: "I heard that Xu Sheng's company is negotiating with the Hong Kong government about an industrial land in Kowloon?"

"Why don't I know when the Hong Kong government belonged to the Jardine Matheson Group?" Xu Zhi laughed teasingly, although this matter is not a big secret, but not many people inside the United States know about it, and Jardine Matheson can know about it, and eighty percent of it was revealed by people from the Hong Kong government.

Bao Fuda ignored the objection and said: "Xu Sheng, we Jardine Matheson very much hope to reach some cooperation with Xu Sheng, the shares of wireless can be negotiated slowly, as for industrial land, we have a lot of land, basically in convenient places, as long as Xu Sheng agrees to us another condition, we can sell the land to you at a low price." ”

"What conditions?" Xu Zhike didn't believe that the other party would be so kind, there was no free lunch in this world.

Bao Fuda said: "I want the general distribution rights of Midea Group's arcade machines in Europe!"

"You guys really have a big appetite, when is Hongkong Land going to be a distributor of video games?" said Xu Zhi with a smile.

Bao Fuda shook his head mysteriously and said, "Xu Sheng misunderstood, I'm talking about me, not Land!"

"Oh!" Xu Zhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect this guy to have such an idea, and said: "It's not impossible, but this involves the company's strategic cooperation, Mr. Bao Fuda, you have to prove that you are capable of being responsible for such a big project!

Bao Fuda asked, "How can you prove it?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "This involves many issues, first, it is impossible for you to give up the position of general manager of Hongkong Land, so how do you devote yourself to the business of our Midea arcade dealer?"

Bao Fuda laughed: "I have a cousin in the UK who can run the business in my place. ”

Xu Zhi asked again: "Then how can Niu Bijian explain it? Whether it is wireless or industrial land, it is also the asset of Jardine Matheson?"

Niu Bijian is the Taipan of Jardine Matheson, controlling Jardine Matheson, Hongkong Land, Wharf and other companies, and is one of the most powerful people in Xiangjiang.

Bao Fuda said: "Niu Bijian naturally knows about this!"

"Understood. Xu Zhi smiled, this group of people is actually using the company's rights to open a small stove for themselves, although these people have a very high income, an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars, and although they are powerful, but in fact, their annual income is not as good as a small company, and after a long time, they have more or less some ideas.

But the clever thing is that they didn't start directly from the company, and even related companies and industries were not involved, so they chose to cooperate with Xu Zhi, which is a very good choice!

Xu Zhi asked again: "This cooperation is okay, but you don't have a perfect sales channel in Europe, it is unrealistic to give you such a big right, I can hand over the entire British market distribution to you!"

"It's just Britain, too little, isn't it?" said Bofoida with a frown.

Xu Zhidao: "The population of the United Kingdom is more than 56 million people, and the per capita economy is not worse than the United States, do you know how big the arcade size of the American market is? It's just that last year it exceeded 1 billion US dollars, how about the British market, the proportion is close to 200 million US dollars, as for how to develop, that's your business, no ability to play, or poor sales, I will take back the distribution rights when it expires!"

Bao Fuda frowned and thought for a while: "Then what if our market development is very good?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Then naturally everyone makes money together, but if you have ambitions, you can develop other markets in Europe, at present, our company does not have its own distributors in many countries in Europe, but we must have channels before we can give you the right to distribute, want to be the same as the British market in turn to take the right to distribute and then build a channel that is impossible!"

Bao Fuda nodded and agreed: "Okay, then the British market first!"
