Chapter 1325: Lobbyist
The next day, also in this mansion manor, in the gazebo, Yin Jun entertained another guest. Fastest updates
The guest looked to be in his thirties.
Although the suit is straight, he is full of spirit, revealing an enterprising temperament all over his body, and it is obvious that his life and career are at a peak.
It's just that his height is not very high, and his face is also a typical island face.
His name is Makoto Honda, president of the Xiangjiang branch of Sumitomo Banking Corporation Limited.
Since the opening of the financial industry in Hong Kong three years ago, many foreign banks have moved in, including Sumitomo Bank of Japan.
The people who do the bank are certainly one of the smartest people.
Not to mention anything else, the group of people on Wall Street dare not say that they will beat the whole world, and there is no pressure at all to beat most of the world.
Hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars worth of financial instruments, under their various means, have harmed an unknown number of people.
Attention.
It's not the rich people who are harming them, but all the rich people. People who don't have money can't afford those financial derivatives.
To be a rich man, he is certainly not a stupid fool, but he has been deceived by them and lost his property, can you say that these people are not the devil?
Therefore, the hundreds of banks and financial institutions in Xiangjiang are of course not just here to eat a bite of food in Xiangjiang.
On the one hand, they are relying on Xiangjiang's influence in the financial industry in Southeast Asia to expand their sphere of influence, and more importantly, they want to use Xiangjiang as a springboard to look north to China and enter the coveted domestic market in China.
The development of China is very rapid, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day.
Think about the 1.3 billion people in it, such a huge market, which bank wants to miss it?
The financial layout is not to wait until you are developed, and then we will lay out, but we must lay out in advance, so as to catch up with the good time.
It's just that Yin Jun couldn't help but want to laugh when he watched them enter Xiangjiang in a group, dreaming of entering the financial market in the mainland from Xiangjiang.
As it turned out, they were all overthinking.
Until 2020, even local banks in Hong Kong, such as Hang Seng Bank and Heung Kong Commercial Bank, could not do business smoothly in the mainland, let alone these foreign banks.
So it's no wonder that Trump is furious and wants to use $600 billion in trade sanctions to intimidate Huaguo into opening up his own financial market.
However, if China is eaten by the United States like this, they will not be worthy of being called the world's second largest economy.
Even the United States is unable to deal with China and let China open up its financial market, and Japan, a country that has been in decline since the era of intelligence, has no qualifications.
Let's talk about the person Motodako.
He had just joined Sumitomo Bank ten years ago, and he was transferred to Xiangjiang, where he stayed for ten years.
In the past ten years, after countless hardships and tribulations, Honda Makoto finally survived the opening of a branch of Sumitomo Bank in Xiangjiang, and with his familiarity with Xiangjiang, he was promoted to the president of the branch within two years, becoming a shining star of Sumitomo Bank.
Although Sumitomo Bank has not merged with Mitsui Bank, they are still one of the top three super banks in Japan.
The first must be the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, and the second and third banks are Mitsui Bank and Sumitomo Bank, which are not much different, and they are also well-known big banks in Asia.
As the president of the Heung Kong branch, Honda Makoto felt that his most accomplished point was to come to the Kirin Group in person and sign a loan order of 1.5 billion US dollars in one go.
Although the interest rate is only about 5%, which is much lower than the current market interest, and the mortgage is just a Saint Seiya doll, but this loan has won high praise from the headquarters.
I'm still very smart.
The loan of 1.5 billion US dollars to Yin Jun is indeed a great help in the current Xiangjiang and has given Yin Jun a great favor.
But that's not the only way Yin Jun can get funding.
If Yin Jun is willing, including Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, etc., they are willing to give him sufficient funds.
Why?
Because of the current Xiangjiang, the person with the healthiest huge assets is Yin Jun.
His main business is not the real estate and financial industries with strict geographical and economic environment requirements, but the cultural industries that are in demand anytime and anywhere.
No matter how poor people are, they will have the need to read.
No matter how hard the family is, they will not ignore the needs of their children, and they will not buy them a single toy.
Therefore, the pillar industry of the Kirin Group, the Kirin Culture, the comics it operates, as well as the comic peripheral industries such as toys, cartoons, stickers, and various licenses, are now the most stable and profitable industries in the world.
The financiers who open banks are willing to lend their money to the most stable people, and they can get interest income and make their funds safe.
There is no doubt that Yin Jun is such a high-quality customer.
But what Sumitomo Bank values most is not Yin Jun's current industry, including his industry in the United States, and Sumitomo Bank doesn't think there is anything special.
Compared with the super big banks with assets of more than $300 billion, Yin Jun's $10 billion enterprise value also includes $3 billion in loans, which is nothing at all.
What they value more is the intimate relationship between Yin Jun and today's China.
Even after 40 years, when the relationship between Japan and China was extremely bad, they still invested the most in China and accounted for the largest proportion of foreign capital in China.
They know China best.
Therefore, we also know how powerful such a superpower with a population of 1.3 billion will explode and how many economic benefits it will bring once it gets rid of its shackles and begins to develop in full force.
Japan's small size and lack of resources make it necessary for them to rely on foreign markets for development.
Huaguo, a country separated by a strip of water, has so many ties with Japan, and of course it is one of the places where they are most willing to develop.
If Sumitomo Bank and Yin Jun have a good relationship, then if Yin Jun's investment in China can be participated in with Sumitomo Bank in the future, they will definitely make a lot of money.
Even if Yin Jun can't bring Sumitomo Bank with him, then through Yin Jun's development in the mainland, they can directly invest in Yin Jun as a person, and they can indirectly maintain their economic influence in China, so as to expand their business territory.
Don't doubt it.
That's what I can think of.
So they dared to play a heavy hand and dare to gamble like this.
$1.5 billion!
Some time ago, the nine companies of the Hang Lung consortium asked for a loan of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars from Japan, but they did not get it.
Yin Jun's opening is 1.5 billion US dollars, and the treatment is really embarrassing in comparison.
The one who made all this happen is Makoto Honda.
So today, when Honda Makoto came to Yin Jun's house, he was treated very solemnly.
Not everyone can enter Yin Jun's home to visit, and not everyone can let Yin Jun put down the heavy public and drink tea and chat together.
Honda Makoto understands this, so he has a little more expectation for the purpose of his coming today.
"I heard that in Japan, Jun Shao's Disney Company and our Oriental Paradise Co., Ltd. have been entangled recently?" Honda Makoto spoke Chinese, and it was Mandarin, and he knew that Yin Jun liked to speak Mandarin rather than Cantonese in private.
It just so happens that Benduocheng has practiced both Cantonese and Mandarin very well in the past ten years.
"Yes. Yin Jun smiled, "This is an entanglement of business interests." The new management of Disney, through so many years of research and introspection, felt that the signing of the Japanese Disneyland project with Oriental Paradise had too unfavorable conditions for our side. So they made an application, and I discussed it with my sister and agreed. ”
Honda sincerely thinks that you are really direct, and you are not afraid of sparking moral discussions.
But when I think about it, this time it was all Disney from the United States, and the Kirin Group did not make any statement, so of course it can shift the responsibility to the Americans.
From this point of view, Yin Jun is very honest with himself.
"Actually, we also have a business relationship with Oriental Paradise. Makoto Honda pondered, "This time, President Takahashi found us through a relationship and wanted to talk to you...... Disney, on the other hand, is really a bit aggressive. In just over a month, Disneyland is about to open. If we can't do business smoothly, we will become a laughing stock along with our entire daily capital!"
"Therefore, it is best to reach a settlement agreement as soon as possible. Yin Jun also groaned and said, "Mr. Honda is my friend, and I won't hide it from you." Although Disney is an industry under our Kirin Group, they have their own way of operating, and European and American companies have always been able to do anything for money.
Recently, countries including the United Kingdom, Brazil, Singapore and other countries are applying to open new Disneylands. And the conditions they compare are those of Ben Disney the day before. And you also know that the return given by Japan Disney to the Disney headquarters is only 7% of their total operating income, if everyone does this, Disney will not be able to make money at all, then their group of professional managers will have no light on their faces, and the dividends and profits earned will be greatly reduced. ”
Makoto Honda nodded.
He didn't know what Yin Jun thought, but what Yin Jun said was indeed the truth.
Disneyland is like a commodity, once the price is reduced, it is rare to say to the second customer that the price will be increased, and everyone wants to come according to the low price.
Even if it wasn't for the fault of the past, it was just for the benefit of Disneyland in the future, they wouldn't allow it to be done.
One percentage point represents millions or tens of millions of dollars!
Saying too much, if ten more Disney parks are built in the world in the future, if they can't gnaw off the hard bone of Ben Disney today, I am afraid that the loss will be billions of dollars!
At that time, Disney was the laughing stock of the world!
Especially now that Disney's life is getting better and better, there is such a big backer as the Kirin Group behind it, and with sufficient confidence, it will not be weak.
It's just that no one could have imagined that Disney would use such an extreme way to force Oriental Paradise to comply.
And everyone has now seen that if Oriental Paradise really refuses to give in, then Disneyland will fight to lose both sides, and it will also stop the Disneyland project in Japan.
As for reputation or something, it doesn't matter at all.
Between earning money and not earning money, Americans have always chosen to earn money.
It's like 50 years ago, when American farmers would rather cry and pour all their milk into the river than give it to the poor who couldn't afford it.
Not to mention the past, even in another 50 years, if there was the same economic crisis, the farmers would do the same.
Times are changing, but the truth never changes!
