Chapter 503: Despicable RB People
"Mr. Run Run Shaw is really old and strong, so old and so energetic, it seems that you Chinese are really good at health preservation." "Yuri Aoyama seems to be modest, but in fact he is observing and testing Shaw.
"Hehe, Mr. Aoyama is also very powerful, he is only forty years old, and he can talk about business with my old bones, which is really terrifying. Shaw took a sip of tea.
"Hey, I can't say that, Mr. Shao's film empire is still very powerful, and Hong Kong films have developed to such an extent, and Shaw Brothers has made a lot of contributions. Although Yuri Aoyama said it nicely, there was a hint of a hunter's look at the prey in his eyes.
"Let's not talk about that, let's eat. Waiter, bring the food to you. Run Run Shaw gave a faint command, and then sat there to breathe his heartbeat, which became stronger and stronger, and he did not want to show his timidity in front of others, especially those in this kind of business.
"Uncle Shao, it's time for you to get checked, the doctor is already waiting outside, Mr. Qingshan, please wait for ten minutes. Huang Cianming was originally talking about business with Run Run Shaw, but he found that Run Run Shaw's physical condition was not quite right, so he called the doctor just now.
Run Run Shaw originally wanted to refuse, but the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more intense, and he had no choice but to stand up with the help of Huang Cianming and prepare to go to the hotel lounge to be examined by the doctor.
"Mr. Shao, please wait. ”
"Mr. Aoyama. Boss Shao was unwell and stopped talking about business for a few days. Huang Cianming said.
"It's very troublesome to change the day, so it's better to just do it today!" Aoyama Yuri didn't give up, "I can wait for Mr. Shao to see the doctor before talking." ”
"Let the doctor come over, and I will take the medicine while talking about business. "Run Run Shaw looked like he was looking at life and death.
Soon after, Shaw's family doctor arrived at the hotel.
This doctor had been with Run Run Shaw for many years and knew about Run Run Shaw's physical condition. In fact, Run Run Shaw's body is well maintained, he usually likes to cut and chew high-quality wild ginseng slices, and the amount of exercise and living habits are more scientific, so it is much better than the average elderly.
Recently, Run Run Shaw has been a little unwell, mainly because he suddenly asked about the business of Shaw Brothers Films, and was angry with this uncompetitive company.
You must know that Shaw Brothers' business, not to mention movies, is TVB, and it is also Shaw's wife Fang Yihua who has helped him manage him all these years, but he himself doesn't have that energy.
Later, even Fang Yihua didn't have the energy to take care of TVB, TVB could be sold.
"It's not a big problem, but this crab must not be eaten again, the crab is cold, and you will have a lot of harm to your body if you eat it, so it is best to avoid it. Mild foods such as soft porridge and the like should be eaten today. ”
After the doctor prescribed some medicine and Run Run Run Shaw took it slightly, he continued: "Mr. Aoyama, since you want to negotiate, let's continue!"
Yuri Aoyama smiled, holding a stack of papers, and showed it to Run Run Shaw.
"You...... What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting!" said Yuri Aoyama, "Over the years, Shaw Brothers Films has publicly issued more than ten bonds from the market, and there are also interbank loans. Since last year, we at Sony have been quietly investing in bonds, and the interest rate on bonds secured by Shaw Brothers Films is as high as 12%, which is much higher than the interest rate in Japan, so why don't we invest?"
The debts of Shaw Brothers Films are not too much, only 400 million yuan, and these assets are collateralized by the assets of the cinema chain, and the risk is not very large.
The problem is that the debt is relatively dispersed, and even if the film company loses money, Shaw Brothers has never been short of interest on creditors. Because Shaw Brothers' assets are not only the film business, but also many assets such as television and real estate.
However, Shaw's debt is certainly an unpopular investment in the market. Because, the principal and interest of this debt are paid on time and never in arrears. Therefore, there is no such thing as junk bonds, which can be bought at a two- or three-fold discount.
Those Shaw debts can only be purchased at the original price. For a debt of 400 million, you have to pay 400 million to eat. Who would collect so many chips for an unpopular asset with no discount at all?
Unless, for the Shaw Brothers cinema line assets, there is a special idea.
The main creditors of a company are concentrated and can apply for bankruptcy liquidation of the company!
Theoretically, bankruptcy liquidation is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the debtor.
But sometimes, it becomes a means of forcing the palace when negotiating with malicious creditors.
"Showing the chips is only to speed up the negotiations. Yuri Aoyama said, "Mr. Shao, you should know by now that we Sony have collected 300 million Shaw Brothers various debts. More than 75% of the bonds are in the hands of Sony, so we can apply for bankruptcy liquidation of Shaw Brothers Films directly through the judicial process without negotiating with you!"
"Impossible!" said Run Run Shaw angrily, "It's just a debt of 300 million, and if you want, I will immediately repay the principal and interest in advance." ”
As he spoke, Run Shaw coughed violently again and again!
"I know that Mr. Shao is worth billions, but most of them are assets that cannot be realized. If, on behalf of the majority of creditors, I ask for the judicial process to be liquidated now. Mr. Shao, it is probably a bit difficult to raise funds and repay debts in advance before the bankruptcy process!" Yuri Aoyama said proudly, "In recent days, our Japanese companies have frequently borrowed from HSBC, Standard Chartered and other banks in Hong Kong, draining tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars of liquidity in the Hong Kong banking industry. In the short term, it will be difficult for Hong Kong's banking industry to find cash to borrow from you!"
Actually, this is not purely the credit of Japanese companies. But...... In the era of Japan's real estate bubble, it continued to spread the word to the world that Japan's real estate was worth investing in.
The American capital that makes the game is naturally making a profit of trillions of dollars!
Japan's local conglomerates have also benefited a lot, and many of them have enjoyed the asset appreciation brought about by the real estate surge.
It's just that high-level real estate needs to find more people to take over, and the local Japanese people are not enough. Therefore, in the late 80s and early 90s, a bunch of Hong Kong capital and Southeast Asian capital were fooled into taking over Japan's real estate bubble at a high level.
After that, those who speculated in Japanese real estate basically didn't know their mothers.
However, at present, Hong Kong does have a lot of capital, and it is not sure about the policy environment after 97, so if you are a little foolish, you will take money to invest in real estate in Japan at a high level. Later, most of the wealthy people who invested in Japanese real estate went bankrupt at worst, and their assets shrank by a large margin.
These little Japan, who have really not changed their nature for decades, used to carry knives and guns. When he was young, Shanghai's film industry actively filmed anti-Japanese themes and inspired them.
Up to now, although Little Japan is a defeated country and no longer holds swords and guns, its means are still so despicable!
If it were Run Shaw when he was young, he might not be shocked. But as I get older, when I am slightly stimulated, my body feels violently uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qingshan, Uncle Shao is unwell, we won't talk about it today!" Huang Cianming and the doctor hurriedly pushed the wheelchair and escorted Run Run Shaw to the hospital for more specific diagnosis and treatment.
After Run Run Shaw was pushed out of the hotel, he was still very angry in his wheelchair and said: "Even if the Shaw Brothers movie is sold to pigs and dogs, it is not sold to the Japanese!"
