The next morning.

Ji Cheng originally wanted to let the housekeeper Michael. Baker took Cheng Jianjun, Xiao Zhang, Teacher Shi and others around.

However, Cheng Jianjun, Xiao Zhang, Zheng Chun, Zhou Cheng and others were very interested in the operation of Huajin Capital, and they had to follow Ji Cheng to the company to see how he ran the company.

Ji Cheng is the boss of the company, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the company's affairs and has enough time to accompany everyone, so he didn't refuse after thinking about it.

It's about 10 a.m.

"Mr. Cheng, good morning."

"Mr. Ji, are you here?"

"Boss ......"

As soon as Ji Cheng entered the company, he came up with whatever he called.

Although Cheng Jianjun didn't speak English very fluently, he understood it, and he asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Ji, why do the people under your command call you Mr. Cheng at one time, Mr. Ji at the other, and some people call you boss?" ”

Ji Cheng walked towards his office with everyone, and explained with a smile: "In the beautiful country, the boss is generally called indirectly, or the newly hired employees are not familiar with what the boss is called the boss, and they will call the boss normally, they will use a certain lady or a certain gentleman, for example, my name is Ji Cheng, and unfamiliar employees generally call me Mr. Ji, if they are familiar, they call me Mr. Cheng." ”

"Oh, I see." Xiao Zhang suddenly realized.

Wu Deliang and Teacher Shi were also amazed.

Zheng Chun and Zhou Cheng know more about this because Xiangjiang is now under the control of the United Kingdom, but they don't have the reaction of others.

A few people talked and laughed and came to the innermost.

I don't know the general manager of the company, Steve. Did White hear the movement outside, or did he just walk out of the office, anyway, he bumped into Ji Cheng and the others.

"Mr. Cheng." Steve. White had the papers in his hand.

Ji Cheng looked over and smiled, "Steve, what's the matter?" ”

Steve. White said, "Do you remember asking me to contact Sony before you went back to Asia?" Today, their chairman, Akio Morita, happened to be back in the beautiful country and would like to come over to talk. ”

Is Akio Morita free?

Ji Cheng was slightly stunned for a moment, although Akio Morita's family moved to the beautiful country as early as 1963, but because Sony's headquarters was in Nippon, Morita Akio often stayed there, Ji Cheng thought that he had to go to Xiao Riben's side to talk, but he didn't expect to save time, he hummed, "When will Morita Akio come to the company?" ”

"Sony's feedback is to arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon." Steve. White asked, "Will I talk to them then, or will you come in person?" ”

Ji Cheng thought about it carefully, "I'll talk to Akio Morita." ”

"Okay, then I'll preside over the signing of the hepatitis B vaccine authorization between Futai Pharmaceutical and the Huaxia team, this matter should have been Sophia's go, but now that I'm free, she can go to inspect a computer information company to be invested in in the afternoon." Steve. White said.

Ji Cheng didn't think much about it at the time, but just heard a few words about computer information company and asked casually with interest, "What is the name of the company?" ”

Steve. White said: "It seems to be a computer information data company called Quantum. ”

Ji Cheng was a little familiar when he heard this name, but he didn't remember where he heard it for a while.

I was about to say I knew.

Steve. White added, "It should be that name, after all, this company has not been established for a few years, and its reputation is not obvious, but their boss, Steve. Keith and Bill. The two of them are quite famous, they used to open a company called Control Video, which is to transmit game software to the computer through a telephone line, and the idea is very good, but unfortunately the performance is not good and it goes out of business. ”

Well?

Steve. Keith and Bill. Mester?

Ji Chengmeng's eyes widened suddenly, these two people may not be familiar with each other, but if there is another company name they founded, most people must know it, it is Beautiful Country Online!

No wonder it felt familiar just now.

Ji Cheng thought that when he returned to modern society to search for browser information, he had seen the predecessor of the beautiful country online company, wasn't it a computer information data company called Quantum?

You must know that even before the merger with Time Warner, the market value of Pretty Nation Online reached a peak of $164 billion.

Unfortunately, in the end, the beautiful country online still did not stand the test of the market, in 2003 began to fall into the mud, until 2015 by the beautiful country telecom operator Verizon Communications Company for 4.4 billion US dollars, since then, the glory of the beautiful country online will always exist in history.

Ji Cheng recalled the information related to Pretty Country Online in his head, and then asked, "How much do they want?" How many shares to sell? ”

Steve. White immediately said: "They want 20 million US dollars, and they are willing to sell 20% of the shares, I discussed it with Sophia, I think it is a bit expensive, and I am ready to bargain with them for 10 million US dollars and 15% of the shares." ”

Ji Cheng waved his hand, "No need to bargain, promise them 20 million and 20 percent of the shares." ”

Steve. White was stunned for a moment, but agreed.

Wait until Steve. White goes to find Sophia. After Green's.

Cheng Jianjun was stunned, and he was a little stunned: "Two million dollars were spent like this?" ”

Zheng Chun, Zhou Cheng, Wu Deliang and others also reacted similarly, all of them secretly staggered, 20 million US dollars, and spent it in a few words?

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Venture capital is like this, if you are optimistic about the prospects of a company, then it is worth spending any amount of money, and once it brings you returns, it will be a geometric profit." ”

Cheng Jianjun said with interest: "Mr. Ji, what kind of quantum company did you just talk about, how much income do you think it can bring you?" ”

Ji Cheng pushed open the door of the office, invited everyone to sit down, and picked up the cup to pour water for everyone, "It's hard to say, but I'm more optimistic about the computer information, and I expect it to be ten times." ”

Well, he's talking nonsense.

In fact, Ji Cheng feels that investing in 20 million US dollars in beautiful country online can have a hundred times the final return, which is still the most conservative estimate, after all, the market value of beautiful country online reached 164 billion US dollars at the peak before the merger with Time Warner, although Ji Cheng's 20% shares will be continuously diluted in the process, but it is expected that the final will not be less than 5% of the shares, and the value will be more than 8 billion at that time, at least hundreds of times the profit.

Moreover, in the future, if the beautiful country online wants to be listed, it can also make additional investment.

At that time, the profit multiplier may come down, but make more money.

Of course, Ji Cheng won't tell everyone about these things, not to hide them, but to scare everyone.

Ten times he has said very little.

But it still surprised everyone.

"Ten times the profit?"

"Then you can't make 200 million?"

"The most important thing is the dollar."

"Mr. Ji, I finally understand how big your business is today."

Zheng Chun, Zhou Cheng and others sighed.

Let's talk a little bit here.

During this period, Ji Cheng handled two more official matters.

I was about to take everyone to dinner.

Suddenly, Steve. White came in with Director Lin.

"Mr. Cheng, Lin is looking for you." Steve. White finished speaking and left.

Ji Cheng looked over and stretched out his finger to the sofa, "Sit." ”

"No, no." Director Lin shook his hand again and again, "I came over to sign a contract with Futai Pharmaceutical, and I want to tell you something by the way." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Teacher Shi and the others, showing a pleading gaze, "Xiao Cheng, can you take your friends out to smoke first?" ”

As soon as everyone saw Director Lin's attitude, they knew that there was a confidential matter, and they all got up and walked outside.

Only Ji Cheng and Director Lin were left in the office.

Ji Chengzhen didn't know what important things Director Lin was looking for himself, he even authorized the hepatitis B vaccine technology for free, it stands to reason that the task of the negotiation team has been completed, and there is no reason to look for himself.

Director Lin glanced out of the door and made sure that Cheng Jianjun and the others had gone away, so he turned around and smiled: "Mr. Ji, I have reported to the above about the licensing of hepatitis B vaccine technology. ”

Ji Cheng didn't think much about it, "Well, just report it, don't worry about setting up the production line and personnel training, I agreed with Merck that someone will help when the time comes." ”

"Yes, yes, you're bothered." Director Lin said politely: "I came to you to say another thing, it said that you can't pay in vain, you have a pure patriotic heart, if you don't say anything, it will chill the hearts of other patriots in the future, so they asked me to tell you and give you two options." ”

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Two plans? I don't really want anything in return, I don't have to. ”

"Listen to it." Director Lin said.

Ji Cheng saw that he was so serious, so he had no choice but to say, "You say." ”

Director Lin organized a statement and said: "The first plan, when the domestic hepatitis B vaccine is produced, will give you a 5% commission of each sales." ”

According to Ji Cheng's memory, it was not until 92 years that the genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine was really produced in China, when the price of the triple shot was about 29 yuan, that is, one injection to Ji Cheng was given a piece of four cents and five cents, which sounds very little, in fact, there are 20 million newborns who need to be injected every year, and this is not a one-time thing, it will be like this for decades in the future, even if inflation and other factors are not considered, Ji Cheng can benefit more than one billion yuan, if inflation and other factors are taken into account, at least tens of billions of profits.

It can be said that Huaxia gave Ji Cheng the greatest respect and feedback.

Ji Cheng listened to it with a heavy heart, Huaxia is not rich now, but he is willing to give himself so much profit, he was very moved, shook his head bluntly and said: "I said, this is my gift to the motherland's 40th birthday, I will not ask you for a penny." ”

Director Lin smiled, very brightly, "The above also said that you refused to accept money, and sure enough, okay, I'll just say the second plan." He paused and continued, "The second plan is to invite Futai Pharmaceutical to open a branch in Huaxia, and give Futai Pharmaceutical the best tax policy and policy support. ”

Hiss!

Ji Cheng couldn't help but inhale!

What does this program stand for?

On behalf of Futai Pharmaceutical has a strong enough backing for drug research and development, although the new drugs developed at that time will be very low to be licensed to the domestic price, but from a global strategic point of view, it will definitely make a lot of money, what taxes, policies are not mentioned, just say that the laboratory to the laboratory, to the R & D personnel to the R & D personnel, this has to shorten the time of a drug research and development?

It is not an exaggeration to say that the second plan is worth 100 billion!

Ji Cheng was silent, and after a long while, he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "You have offered me such good conditions, so that my selfless dedication has become selfish." ”

"Hehe, it's just a preferential policy for the enterprise, and there is no cash support, you don't have any psychological burden." Director Lin said meaningfully and didn't know if it meant the above, "Anyone who has made great contributions to the country will not be forgotten by the country." ”

Ji Cheng understood what he meant, he took a deep breath, and said: "Thank you for me, leaders, when the time comes, I will first open a branch of Futai Pharmaceutical in China, and then find a way to spin it off, so that I can develop the most advanced drugs, and I don't have to worry about the capital intervention of Futai Pharmaceutical's listing." ”

"Okay, okay." Director Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then it's decided, we look forward to Futai Pharmaceutical continuing to overcome medical problems and contribute to human health." ”

Ji Cheng didn't expect such a good thing, but he also knew that all of this was probably won by Director Lin, otherwise even if the above compensated him, the conditions would not be so generous, and his original displeasure with Director Lin disappeared all of a sudden, as the saying goes, Ji Cheng took the initiative to show goodwill: "Director Lin, you just arrived here yesterday, I am not embarrassed to disturb, everyone is free today, so I will have a meal together in the evening." ”

Director Lin hurriedly said: "Okay, I will tell you about this after I finish signing the contract with Futai Pharmaceutical." ”

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ji Cheng met Akio Morita, the head of Sony, who is known as the god of management.

This man single-handedly founded Sony, and in just three or four decades, Sony became a world-class giant, and in 1998, Akio Morita was named one of the 20 most influential business people of the twentieth century by Time magazine as the only Asian.

It's a business wizard!

But Ji Cheng doesn't have much of a good impression of Sony, the reason is that in 2021, Sony made an insulting incident against China, as we all know, the 77 incident occurred on July 7, 1937, and Sony released a preview of the upcoming new machine on June 30, 2021, and the time was actually selected at 22 o'clock on July 7, because the 77 incident was also specific to 10 o'clock in the evening, Sony seems to have nothing wrong with doing this on the surface, but in fact, the wolf is ambitious!

Naturally, Ji Cheng has no good impression of Sony.

However, if he wants to make Sony's money now, he is still the kind of white wolf with empty gloves, and there will definitely be nothing on the surface.

Another reason is that when Akio Morita was in office, he was always pro-China.

Ji Cheng doesn't know whether this stupid old man, known as the god of management, is for profit or genuinely pro-China, but no matter what, at least the later Sony insulting incident has nothing to do with Akio Morita, who died in 1999.

"Hello Mr. Morita."

"Hello Ji Jun."

The two shook hands and took their seats.

Negotiators from both sides also got to know each other.

Then it officially got to the point.

Akio Morita said directly: "I heard that your company is willing to help us buy Columbia Pictures?" ”

Ji Cheng said: "Yes, your company is committed to acquiring Columbia Pictures, Columbia Teletext, Samsung Pictures and Samsung's 820 movie theaters in 180 places across the United States, and the negotiations have not been won for a long time. ”

"I won't come to see you if I don't need to." Akio Morita smiled: "I'll catch a flight back to Japan later, so I won't talk nonsense with you, you talk about the conditions of your entrustment, I'll listen to whether it's suitable or not, and if it's suitable, sign it immediately." ”

Ji Cheng recalled the beginning and end of Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, and offered the final purchase price, saying: "I don't want a commission, as long as Sony promises to come up with five billion dollars, plus bear the costs incurred by Warner Bros. that Warner Bros. may file a lawsuit, it is estimated that one billion dollars, that is, a total of six billion dollars, I will help you take Columbia Pictures!" ”

Akio Morita looked at Ji Cheng with strange eyes, "You don't want to take a cut?" ”

"Yes." Ji Cheng said confidently: "How much money I spent to acquire Columbia Pictures is my business, you only need to pay six billion dollars, if the final acquisition exceeds this figure, the remaining expenses Huajin Capital will make up, but if I can win Columbia Pictures at a lower price, the extra money will belong to me, do you think it is feasible?" ”

In fact, this is equivalent to a VAM agreement.

Sony would only have to pay six billion dollars to acquire it, and it would not have to take any risks.

Akio Morita smiled and asked again, "Do you know how much Columbia Pictures' stock price is per share now?" ”

Ji Cheng said calmly: "Sixteen dollars." ”

Akio Morita smiled and shook his head, "According to what you said, I have to pay the price of twenty-seven dollars per share, but in fact, Columbia Pictures is only worth sixteen dollars per share today, why should I buy it at an extra price of eleven dollars per share?" ”

Ji Cheng thought that the other party meant to persuade himself, and he opened his mouth to explain: "Yes, the current Columbian film ......"

Before he finished speaking, Akio Morita arbitrarily interrupted him, "Ji Jun, you are very insincere, we have nothing to talk about." ”

As he spoke, he didn't give Ji Cheng a chance to speak, stood up directly, and left straight with the people.

Ji Cheng looked at the backs of Akio Morita and everyone speechlessly, and said in his heart, why did you let me die after speaking?

Sony's side doesn't agree?

Isn't it that this windfall can't be earned?

Ji Cheng has a bit of a headache, but he has been thinking about this windfall for a long time, because this is the same as buying Rockefeller Center and selling it to the Japanese stupid people, empty gloves white wolf, if Sony agrees to the commission, then he only needs to find a way to persuade the shareholders of Columbia Pictures to earn a huge difference, for example, now Columbia Pictures is worth sixteen dollars per share, and he can earn six dollars per share at a super high price of twenty-one dollars with those shareholders, and the total profit is expected to be 750 million.

But it's a pity that Sony didn't agree.

Can't make that money anymore!

Ji Cheng is a little unwilling, he is really confident to convince the shareholders of Columbia Pictures.

……

At night.

Ji Cheng and Director Lin and others dined with thoughts.

I didn't go out to eat, but in his villa, I invited a Chinese chef to come over and cook a few big table dishes.

Everyone chatted while eating.

Most of the words are touting Ji Cheng.

It's just that Ji Cheng has something on his mind, even if everyone brags about himself, he just barely smiles.

Director Lin, who was at the same table, seemed to see Ji Cheng's situation, and after taking a sip of red wine, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Ji, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”

Cheng Jianjun and others also looked at it.

"Business matters, it's more troublesome." Ji Cheng said helplessly.

Director Lin blinked and said: "If you say it, let's all help you think of a way together, although we don't know much about business, but as the saying goes, three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, we brainstorm, maybe we can really think of a solution for you?" ”

What can Sony do if it doesn't agree?

Ji Cheng didn't expect them to come up with any good ideas for him, but this matter was not a secret, so he simply told everyone about it.

Zheng Chun frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. ”

Zhou Cheng also nodded, "The main Sony side didn't agree, and didn't even give Ji Sheng a chance to convince him, I'm afraid that Ji Sheng wanted to talk to Sony again, but the other party refused." ”

Everyone seemed helpless.

The decision-making power is in Sony's hands, and there really seems to be nothing to do.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but sigh again.

However, at this moment, Director Lin suddenly laughed, "Mr. Ji, please forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that you think everything is a intestine in the end?" ”

Cheng Jianjun was stunned, "Director Lin, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ji Cheng was also stunned at first, but then he reacted, and his face was instantly filled with a smile, "Ouch, Director Lin, fortunately, you reminded me that I have an idea." ”

"Huh?"

"Director Lin didn't say anything."

"Mr. Ji, what do you have in mind?"

Everyone was amazed.

Director Lin sat and smiled silently, he did think of a solution, but he didn't do this kind of limelight stealing, but left the opportunity to Ji Ben himself.

Ji Cheng also thought into a dead end at the beginning and didn't react, after Director Lin said that sentence just now, his thinking suddenly brightened, "Actually, I thought wrong from the beginning, I always felt that I had to win Sony to get the right of entrustment, this sale is two-sided, Sony doesn't agree, can't I still talk to Columbia Pictures?" ”

"Oh, yes!" Zheng Chun patted his head and said: "Why didn't I remember that Ji Sheng's purpose is just to be a client to make the difference, and it doesn't have to be commissioned by Sony, and Columbia Movies is fine." ”

"Hehe, preconceived reasons." Cheng Jianjun said with a smile: "Mr. Ji has always told us that he wants to get Sony's commission, and we instinctively think that Sony must agree, and we don't think about Columbian movies at all." ”

Oh, yes.

At the beginning, Ji Cheng also ignored that the transaction was a two-party transaction because of preconceived notions, and only thought about taking Sony, but fortunately, Director Lin reminded him not to have a intestine to the end, so he suddenly woke up and analyzed it from another angle.

Fortunately, he reconciled with Director Lin.

Otherwise, he may still think of this solution in the end, but it is bound to waste some time, and for Ji Cheng now, every day he delays, he will make a lot less money, so to speak, Director Lin's reminder is worth tens of thousands of dollars!

This fate is truly miraculous.

Yesterday, Ji Cheng was a little angry because of Director Lin and others, and even pondered that he would not authorize the hepatitis B vaccine if he did not change people, but in the end, because he really couldn't bear the torture of 120 million people in Huaxia to protect the hepatitis B virus, he agreed to Director Lin's request, but he didn't expect to bring such a huge feedback.

First of all, Futai Pharmaceutical was invited to open a branch in Huaxia and promised the greatest benefits.

Then, the two met with a smile and agreed to dine together in the evening, but Director Lin was stunned to help him solve a big problem!

Ji Cheng couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, there are many friends and many roads, this road is not necessarily direct help, a reminder like this is sometimes better than direct help, this time the conflict with Director Lin and others is too worthwhile!

He thought about it, he will go to Columbia Pictures tomorrow, once Columbia Pictures agrees to entrust him to negotiate, then I'm sorry, Akio Morita, then the buddy's asking price will not be six billion dollars!
