Chapter 64 Conditions

The actions of the Ranfeng Group have brought great resistance to the acquisition of Li's TV by Qiu Degen of the Far East, and there are not many people who are really interested in the shares of Li's TV in the hands of the Australian consortium except for Qiu Degen's Far East Group.

In the process of acquisition, because the Far Eastern Group basically had no opponents, in the negotiation process with the Australian consortium, Qiu Degen's Far Eastern Group has always occupied the initiative.

Now because of the addition of Ranfeng Group, the Australian consortium naturally hopes to profit from it and increase the value of its shares. As a result, the pace of negotiations with the Far Eastern bloc began to be slowed down.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Qiu Degen asked: "What is the financial strength of Ranfeng Group, has it been investigated?"

"Mr. Qiu, according to the information we have, the cash in the hands of Ranfeng Group may be about fifty or sixty million Hong Kong dollars, but the operation of its subsidiaries is very good, if Jiang Ran is determined to take Li's TV, as long as he appropriately sells part of the company's equity, plus bank loans, there is no problem at all to raise another 100 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Qiu Degen had a calm face and asked, "Then is their will to acquire strong, and do they have the determination to fight a price war with us?"

"Mr. Qiu, their willingness to acquire, I think it can be seen from their early acquisition of Guo's shares. I don't think it's a good idea to compete with each other, after all, our funds are not very sufficient, I suggest that we contact Ranfeng Group to see if there is any possibility of cooperation, and then make a decision. ”

Qiu Degen started from scratch in the early days of running a cinema, and later established the Far Eastern Bank, and was involved in real estate, hotels, amusement parks and other industries. If you really want to talk about it, Qiu Degen's financial resources can throw Jiang Ran a few streets, but this time Qiu Degen's acquisition of Li's TV was not supported by his family, so he could only raise funds by selling shares in wireless.

It is precisely for this reason that the funds used to acquire Li's TV in Qiu Degen's hands are not much more abundant than those of Ran Feng.

Qiu Degen developed step by step from scratch, and saving costs has become his instinct, so he is not willing to spend money to compete with Jiang Ran.

After listening to his subordinates' suggestions, Qiu Degen thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's meet this Jiang Ran first, and then make plans." ”

Jiang Ran didn't know that he was being worried about Qiu Degen, and after he met Guo Zhiquan, he handed over the follow-up matter to Le Zhiren to deal with. He himself returned to the crew again and immersed himself in the filming of "Police Story".

The time has come to mid-May, and the filming of the movie has almost been completed, Jiang Ran estimates that if everything goes well, the movie will be completed around May 20.

However, just when Jiang Ran was ready to complete all the filming work of the movie, Qiu Degen's invitation was brought to Jiang Ran by Le Zhiren.

In this regard, Jiang Ran had to hand over the filming of the movie to Jackie Chan again, but he himself began to prepare for a meeting with Qiu Degen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions for the meeting with Mr. Qiu Degen, and it is a question of the success of our plan. Before Jiang Ran established Qiu Degen, he convened the company's top management to discuss countermeasures.

"Mr. Jiang, I think we first need to determine what we want to fight for, and what conditions we have to use as bargaining chips, and then we can determine the countermeasures. Le Zhiren said after listening to Jiang Ran's words.

Gui Zecheng, who is in charge of business, said: "First of all, in terms of publicity, Li's TV needs to open their publicity channels to us; thirdly, Li's TV needs to give us support in film and television production such as actors, behind-the-scenes and venue equipment; and finally, it is best for us to reach a formal cooperative relationship with Li's TV, so as to ensure our interests." ”

After listening to Gui Zecheng's words, Jiang Ran said: "Do you think it is possible for us to win a cooperative relationship on TV, such as we produce our own TV, broadcast it on Li's TV station, and then settle the price according to the ratings." ”

Le Zhiren glanced at several other people and said: "There is no precedent for the separation of production and broadcasting in Hong Kong, but Mr. Jiang can test Qiu Degen then." ”

Jiang Ran nodded, and then asked, "We want to get these beautiful resources just mentioned, so what is it to impress Qiu Degen, that is a careful person." ”

Ran Dong thought for a while and said: "Mr. Jiang, first of all, we can give Qiu Degen support in this acquisition of Far Eastern Group and take the initiative to withdraw from the acquisition of Li's TV. ”

"Then, we can support him on the board of directors of Leigh TV in the future, and of course, we need to continue to increase our stake in this regard. ”

"In the end, none of the benefits we are asking for are free of charge, and they will not hinder the operation of Leigh's TV. Moreover, we have no conflict of interest with Leigh's TV, and it can even be said that our film business and theirs TV business can complement each other to a certain extent. ”

Ran Dong said this, smiled at Jiang Ran, and said: "I think that our request for cooperation that is beneficial and harmless to Li's TV, on the premise of ensuring Qiu Degen's personal interests, he has no reason to refuse." ”

After discussing with the company's senior management, Jiang Ran already had a clear idea of meeting with Qiu Degen.

Jiang Ran met Qiu Degen in Songcheng of the Far Eastern Group. When Qiu Degen saw Jiang Ran, he looked at Jiang Ran with a lot of interest, and then said, "Mr. Jiang, welcome to Song City!"

As soon as Qiu Degen came up, he put himself in the position of today's landlord and seized the initiative to talk to Jiang Ran. However, Jiang Ran was not interested in this, otherwise, he would not agree to meet on the territory of the Far East.

In addition, whether in terms of value and status, or in terms of age, Qiu Degen surpasses Jiang Ran too much. These things will actually put Jiang Ran in a weak position in this conversation to a certain extent, but all of this will not play a major role in the conversation later.

Jiang Ran said to Qiu Degen modestly: "Hello Mr. Qiu! It's an honor to meet you! Mr. Qiu just calls me Ah Ran." ”

After Qiu Degen heard Jiang Ran's words, he was a little surprised, he thought that Jiang Ran would be a young and vigorous person. Qiu Degen glanced at Jiang Ran seriously, and then took the opportunity to say, "Okay, then I'll call you Ah Ran." ”

"Ah Ran, you are a real hero from a young man, and you have earned hundreds of millions of dollars in your early twenties, which is really amazing. I was still running errands in the theater when you were your age. ”

Jiang Ran watched Qiu Degen not talk to him about Li's TV, but politely. Jiang Ran was not in a hurry, he had to calm down now.

"Mr. Qiu is polite, Mr. Qiu started from a small theater and developed the company to its current scale, which is an example for our younger generations to learn. Jiang Ran complimented this Qiu Degen.

"Yes, when my deceased wife and I first came to Hong Kong, our earliest career started from the theater, we all like movies very much, and we have always had the dream of making movies, but unfortunately the company's later development slowly deviated from the film and television industry. ”

"Now that people are old, I hope to make up for the regrets of my youth. I'm now planning to buy Leigh's TV, and I hope to fulfill the dream that my deceased wife and I have always had. I wonder if Ah Ran can fulfill this wish of mine?"

Jiang Ran looked at Qiu Degen looking at him expectantly, completely caught off guard, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Qiu Degen was still polite with Jiang Ran before, but now he began to play the emotional card with Jiang Ran in a blink of an eye, as if Jiang Ran disagreed with his words, he was ruthlessly killing the dreams of an old man and his deceased wife.

Jiang Ran coughed, hiding his embarrassment, and then said with a look of approval: "I really envy the feelings of Mr. and Mrs. Qiu." Mr. Qiu is very right, dreams are very important for people, and I have always dreamed of having my own TV station, which can complement Ranfeng Group. ”

Jiang Ran said this, glanced at Qiu Degen, and said, "But since Mr. Qiu has said so, it's not that I can't withdraw from the acquisition." ”

Qiu Degen was relieved when he saw Jiang Ran's mouth, and at the same time, he said, "Ah Ran, what conditions do you have, let's talk about it, we can discuss." ”

Jiang Ran looked at Qiu Degen and said, "Mr. Qiu, then I'm not welcome." First of all, I hope that if Mr. Qiu transfers Li's in the future, I can get the right of priority. ”

"Second, I hope that after Mr. Qiu becomes the owner of Li's TV, he can reach an in-depth cooperative relationship with Ranfeng Group, and Ranfeng Group can get the resource support of Li's TV when it does not touch the interests of Li's TV. ”

"Third, Ranfeng Group hopes that Li's TV can buy a certain number of TV programs produced by Ranfeng every year, of course, we can negotiate the price, quantity and purchase situation. ”

"In the end, I hope to get at least 10% of the 60% equity held by the Australian consortium, and of course, as long as we ensure the consensus we reach, we will fully support Mr. Qiu's management of Li in the future. ”
