371 Nikko Film Company

Chen Songqing and Bao Fuda glanced at each other and said: "Our Jianing and Hongkong Land have only encountered temporary difficulties, Xu Sheng, taking advantage of the fire to rob is not a long-term way to operate. ”

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Chen Sheng, what you said is serious, I just made this request, whether I agree or not, you can decide after listening, I will never force it." ”

"Well, it doesn't hurt to hear it. Chen Songqing nodded and said.

Xu Zhi said: "Hutchison Whampoa Group had an investment project two years ago to build a large chain of cinema chains throughout Asia, and now some countries in Southeast Asia have begun to lay out, and the only place lacking is Japan.

And I know that two years ago, Jianing acquired 21% of the shares of Japan's Nikko Company, Jianing's main business is not the cinema chain or the film industry, I wonder if Chen Sheng can cut his love and transfer the shares of Nikko Company to me?"

"It is true that Jianing's main business is not in the film industry, but I am very optimistic about the Japanese market and do not plan to sell the shares of Nikko Films. Chen Songqing shook his head and smiled.

"Chen Sheng, unless it is our own core industry, anything has a value, and Jianing's original investment in daily life was also for future gains, don't you listen to my offer and refuse like this?" Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Chen Songqing nodded and asked, "Okay, then I don't know what kind of price Xu Sheng is willing to pay." ”

"HK$120 million. Xu Zhi quoted his price.

Chen Songqing shook his head and said: "Xu Sheng, although my purchase of daily live stocks is relatively hidden, you should also know that the transaction price that year was as high as 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and in the past two years, although the land price in Japan has not increased as much as that of Xiangjiang, it has also risen a lot, and 120 million Hong Kong dollars is not attractive." ”

In December 1980, Jianing Real Estate acquired 21% of the shares of Nikko Film Company with part of the stock and cash, with a total transaction value of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and this transaction actually belonged to Chen Songqing's empty glove white wolf, and obtained one-fifth of the equity of Japan's fifth largest film company with a small amount of cash and shares of his own company.

Founded in 1912, Nikko Film Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in entertainment film investment, including film and television production, music production, and also operates 428 movie theaters in Japan, and has a large land bank.

In the early 80s, Japan's economy was in a stage of rapid development, but the core development momentum of the whole country was various industries, and the attention of the consortium and the people had not yet been placed on the real estate industry.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Chen Sheng, the housing prices in Japan have indeed risen a little, but the operation of Rihuo Film itself has become worse and worse over the years, and the main film business has been losing money for several consecutive years. ”

Although Nikko Pictures is ranked fifth in Japan, its main film production is not a formal film, but a kind of educational film for single dogs, raising their knowledge of biology and contributing to human reproduction.

Since the '60s, the business has been very good, and although Nikko Films didn't make a fortune in this business, it also had a steady income until the late '70s, when the video game industry rose and affected too many industries.

Although the video game did not affect the interest of Niko's customers in the old products, but to a certain extent, it sucked away their wallets, and over the years, the company's annual financial statements became more and more ugly, which is also the main reason why Jianing was able to take a stake in Niko, the management of Niko hopes to invest in Chen Songqing, the rising star of the Hong Kong business community, hoping to rely on investment to save their company's miserable operation for several consecutive years.

Chen Songqing rolled his eyes and said, "Since Xu Sheng is so interested in Rihuo Film Company, I am naturally willing to be an adult, as long as Xu Sheng agrees to my other request." ”

"Chen Sheng, please speak. Xu Zhi asked.

"I hope that BEA will be able to lend another HK$500 million to Jianing, and I am willing to pay 20% higher than the current market price in terms of interest," Chan said. ”

"Chen Sheng, in the current market situation, it is not possible to get a loan just with high interest. Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "If there is not enough collateral, in order to control the risk of the bank, I can't agree." ”

Chen Songqing frowned, didn't say anything, he had been rejected many times during this time, in this kind of time when the future of the entire Xiangjiang was uncertain and housing prices plummeted, no bank was willing to take the risk of lending to him, even if it was tempted by high interest rates.

Xu Zhi continued: "Chen Sheng, if you promise to sell the daily live stocks, this fund can be received immediately, I think with the current situation of Jianing, more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars of funds will alleviate a lot of the current difficulties!"

"I need dollars. Chen Songqing was silent for a while and said categorically.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, the shares of the company traded here are overseas companies, and whether it is yen or US dollars, it is not a problem." ”

Chen Songqing continued: "Xu Sheng, I hope this transaction will not be announced for the time being. ”

"I'm fine. Xu Zhi shrugged and said that the main purpose of buying the shares of Nikko is for the cinema chain and some property assets under its name, but the current 21% stake will not be enough to complete the holding, and it will need to be slowly acquired in the Japanese stock market for a period of time in the future.

Seeing that Xu Zhi agreed, Chen Songqing glanced at Bao Fuda beside him.

Seeing this, Bao Fuda said: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I won't tell anyone." ”

Then he said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Sheng has acquired what he wants, so I don't know what our proposal is?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Mr. Bao Fuda, don't worry, I am also very interested in some of Hongkong Land's assets. ”

"Xu Sheng is inevitably too greedy, Hongkong Land's property will not be sold. Bao Fuda said proudly.

Although many of Hongkong Land's projects are in trouble, its own hematopoietic ability is very strong, and the annual rent of more than a dozen buildings in Central is as high as 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and even if the land price falls, the price of the buildings in Central is still expensive, which is the guarantee of Hongkong Land's confidence.

However, Hongkong Land's management values these core assets very much and will not sell any of the buildings unless absolutely necessary.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "What I value is not the property building of Hongkong Land, Mr. Bao Fuda, Wellcome Supermarket has been losing money during this time, why don't you transfer it to me?"
