Chapter 56, Investment

On August 29, 1977, Lei Weidong signed contracts with Shogakukan, Shueisha, and Baiquan respectively, because the terms of the contract were very controversial, and by the time it was completely negotiated, it was already evening.

Lei Weidong did not know Japanese, and was afraid of loopholes, so the contract was reviewed by a special translator and lawyer, and the bilingual contract model was adopted in both Chinese and Japanese, until it was completely determined that there were no loopholes in the contract, and the names of both parties were finally signed.

After confirming that the deposit had arrived, Lei Weidong celebrated the successful signing of the contract, and also held a cocktail party to celebrate and invited Ishii and others to participate.

"Mr. Lei, happy cooperation! If Mr. Lei Wei has anything to do in the future, he can come to Japan to find me at any time! When the time comes, I will definitely let Mr. Lei enjoy the best hospitality! Ishii and others said goodbye to Lei Weidong after the reception.

"Of course, we will continue to cooperate with new comics in the future!" Lei Weidong replied in an official tone.

The Japanese are finally gone, and Lei Weidong finally has time to ask about the company!

At this time, Lei Weidong found out that Uncle Wu had been to Taiwan for more than ten days, why he hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know how things were going in Taiwan. I didn't think about this when I was busy with the Japanese a few days ago, but now I think about it, Uncle Wu hasn't called to say hello after being gone for so many days, it's too undeserved.

We must contact Uncle Wu and ask how things are doing in Taiwan and whether there is any progress.

What Lei Weidong didn't think about was that after contacting, he learned that Wu Bo was very good in Taiwan during this time and there was no danger.

Wu Bo told Lei Weidong that things were going well. Because Grandpa Lei Weidong has many old comrades-in-arms in Taiwan, and the elderly are particularly nostalgic. Although these old people have basically retired, they have a great influence on the bends. So the comic company's affairs are all special and special, and there are no difficulties.

However, Wu Bo told Lei Weidong with a wry smile that although things went smoothly, there were too many links in the middle, and there were too many units that needed to be visited. Although I stayed in Taiwan for a while, I only ran part of the procedures. There is still a large part of the formalities to run. It is estimated that it will not be possible to do it in a month or two. Let Lei Weidong not worry, Wu Bo stayed in Taiwan and slowly went through the formalities.

After listening for a long time, Lei Weidong figured out why Wu Bo was still in Taiwan. It is the problem that there are too many links in Taiwan's government departments, and Lei Weidong has encountered these situations many times in his previous life. Fortunately, it was already the 21st century when Lei Weidong went into society, and many links within the government had been streamlined at that time. If it was the 80s, it was the real trouble.

Lei Weidong had heard from a friend that in the 80s, the mainland had a lot of trouble with government departments, and those foreign businessmen who went to China to do business were fine if they were in the SEZs, because the affairs of the SEZs were all special and relatively fast. If it's troublesome to do things outside the SAR. It is said that at that time, when a foreign businessman developed a project, it would cost hundreds of stamps just to stamp it, and it would not take half a year to even finish stamping it. For this purpose, there must be a special person responsible for stamping.

I remember a famous TV sound in my previous life, a multi-storey hotel performed by Mr. Ma Jima. It's about Mr. Ma going to other places to perform and staying in a local restaurant.

Because I want to perform in the evening, I eat an hour in advance, go to the restaurant and ask,

The restaurant staff said, "Eat early, right?" It's too late to stir-fry, cook some noodles"

Teacher Ma said, "Yes! ”

The restaurant staff said, "Then you fill out a form!" ”

After filling out the form, ask to take this list and ask the service squad leader for approval. ”

The service squad leader approved "please ask the section chief for instructions"

The section chief wrote "Please ask the chief for approval".

The Director approved the "request for a certificate issued by the Cultural Affairs Bureau". If you eat noodles, you have to open a certificate.

There was no way to go directly to their hotel manager.

The manager is not bad, and he does things simply! "Secretary Liu! This is followed by layers of batches.

There was no way for Mr. Ma to simply buy a bread to deal with it, the performance was over in three days, and he came back by train on the fourth day, and was just about to get on the train. "Mr. Ma, the hot noodle soup has been batched!"

Although the cross talk is a bit exaggerated, you can imagine the efficiency of things at that time.

This is the case in the mainland, and the situation in Taiwan is not good. So it would be good for Uncle Wu to get things done in one more month.

Because Taiwan's affairs are a bit far away, Lei Weidong simply doesn't want to think about it, and he still has to focus on Hong Kong's affairs.

Because of the continuous expansion of the company's personnel, the original company office location is somewhat out of place. Now Lei Weidong has some spare money in his hands, especially the arrival of 80 million Hong Kong dollars prepaid by the Japanese comic company, which makes Lei Weidong not short of money. Know that money must be spent and not put in the bank to earn interest.

Although Hong Kong's economy is rising and prices are rising, prices are still very low compared to a few years from now. If you invest in real estate now and sell it in a few years, you will definitely make a lot of money.

To this end, Lei Weidong specially found an investment company to acquire suitable properties in various places. Because Lei Weidong's next goal is to establish a cinema line to enter the film industry, and it also requires that cinemas be inside the building, so when acquiring real estate, they are mainly based on buildings, but because Lei Weidong does not have much money in his hands now, he still focuses on land when he acquires, and he is building a building when he has money in the future.

"Boss Lei, I heard that the company is moving! I know a place, but I don't know if you can like it" A few days later, Liang Shuren of the investment company called.

"Oh, where is it, I'll go over and take a look" Lei Weidong had just finished his company's work, and since Liang Shuren had called, he would go over and take a look.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lei Weidong took Liu Wei, Zhao Hongjun and Liang Shuren to see the place, and if the place was not good, he would go to another place.

When I arrived at the place, not to mention the surrounding environment of the place was very good, the address was in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, the environment was very quiet, but some people flowed, the front and back were residential areas, there were no large buildings around, and there were many food stalls on the street.

The houses of this generation should be more than 20 years old, so this house looks a little old, and the style is a little old, like the style of the residential buildings in Hong Kong in the Xinhai Year on TV.

Seeing the building waiting for sale, Lei Weidong felt that its structure was a bit like the office building in the mainland factory before the reform and opening up, with rooms one by one, five floors, just like a school classroom, and a corridor in front of the office. There is also a large yard that can be used as a parking lot and a small grove next to the building. The entire office space covers a large area, about 10,000 square meters.

Comic creation needs to have a quiet environment, the environment here is quite quiet, not noisy, in Hong Kong's current exaggerated social atmosphere there is a feeling of small seclusion, big seclusion in the city, and there are many rooms. As the company's headquarters at this stage, it is also suitable, after all, I don't want to sell products, as long as I create good products, I don't need too much publicity in Hong Kong now, so the company doesn't need to find customers by itself, and it doesn't need to be placed in a luxurious area.

The company is placed here, and there is another advantage in the early stage, that is, there is less contact with the outside world, and small companies do not need to be so attractive.

Why Lei Weidong wants to buy an independent small building to make a company is to not have contact with any large companies at this stage, for example, now, because he works in the building, there are many large companies in the building, there are many people, and the company's personnel have a wide range of external contacts.

Although the environment, as well as the early development of the company, this place is not too bad, and it is not too far from where I live. But this is Hong Kong Island, but it is a little far away from the factory, and it is a little inconvenient to go to the factory by yourself.

After thinking about it carefully, I thought that my future comic base would also be placed in this area, and the company moved here to pave the way in advance, and it was convenient to move in the future, as well as planning.

More importantly, the small building covers a large area, counting the yard of tens of thousands of square meters, such a large place can be built in the future to build a commercial building.

After a long sigh, I decided to meet the boss first to discuss the price, and if it was suitable, I would buy it directly.
