Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In a teahouse full of ancient style.

Lin Baicheng, Yamaguchi Momoe and Iwasaki Mineryu were drinking tea. This time Lin Baicheng only brought Yamaguchi Momoe, but not Mouri Haruko and the other two assistants.

"Lin Jun, regarding your proposal to establish a joint venture entertainment company, I have no problem with it."

When he learned that Lin Baicheng wanted to set up an entertainment company with him, Iwasaki Mineryu agreed without much thought. Anyway, the investment was not much, and even if the company did not do well in the future, it would not be a big loss for him.

When Iwasaki Mineryu agreed, Lin Baicheng was not surprised. He said: "We will let the people below discuss how much we should invest. As for the shareholding ratio, Keiko 20%, how about 40% for you and me?" "

"Can!"

Iwasaki Mineryu had no objection.

Yamaguchi Momoe next to her couldn't help but get excited after hearing this. 20% of the shares was already a lot. Although she would have to pay according to the investment ratio, this was already a preferential treatment for her.

Looking at Yamaguchi Momoe, Lin Baicheng said: "Iwasaki-kun, regarding Keiko's contract, I hope you can come forward and transfer Keiko's contract to our joint venture company."

"Sony Records will be more troublesome. If possible, it is best for the singer's manager contract to remain unchanged. Otherwise, we will have to pay a lot of money to poach Ms. Yamaguchi."

Iwasaki Mineryu hesitated for a moment and then said truthfully. Although he is a member of the Iwasaki family, he is not the patriarch of the next generation. Therefore, although he can borrow the resources of the Iwasaki family and the Mitsubishi Group, everything has a limit. If he wants to poach Yamaguchi Momoe from Sony Records, it is impossible not to pay the price. It's possible that Sony Records won't lose its own interests by selling him that face.

Yamaguchi Momoe also said at this time: "Lin Jun, if I were at Sony Records, I would save a lot of trouble when releasing records and performing concerts."

Lin Baicheng didn't force himself upon hearing this: "Then the singer's management contract should wait until the contract expires."

"When the contract expires and I come forward, Sony Records will release him quickly."

Iwasaki Mineryu immediately said that he still has this face.

After the joint venture to open an entertainment company was settled, Lin Baicheng immediately revealed another thing that really wanted to ask Iwasaki Mineryu for help: "Iwasaki-kun, I want to ask, if I want to get an appointment from one of the major TV stations in your country, Shares, I wonder if you can help with this matter?"

There are currently six major television stations in Japan, among which Japan Public Television is a bit like China Central Television. Lin Baicheng didn't know if this TV station was state-owned, but he knew that as a foreigner, he shouldn't want to hold shares in this TV station.

The remaining five major commercial TV stations are Nippon Television, Tokyo Broadcasting, Fuji TV, TV Asahi and TV Tokyo. Japan's TV network is almost built around these five companies.

What Lin Baicheng wants is a stake in one of the five major commercial TV stations. Only by becoming a shareholder with a large shareholding can he have considerable influence on the TV station.

Lin Baicheng had no delusions about controlling public opinion through the influence of the TV station. This kind of thing was simply impossible. His main purpose was for Zhiyin Comics Company. After all, comics can only become more popular if they are combined with animation. Being able to influence a major TV station will be beneficial to the animation of comics.

"This matter is a bit difficult to handle."

Iwasaki Mineryu pondered and shook his head: "Lin Jun, the TV station is related to the control of public opinion. You are a foreigner after all, so..."

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng said: "I also know that it is difficult to do. In fact, I have not thought about getting too many shares. It is okay to have 10% or less. As long as I can have a director seat and have a certain influence on the TV station, it will be fine." Okay, I never thought about gaining control of the TV station."

"Lin Jun, I can help you move about this matter, but I can't guarantee whether or when it will happen."

After hesitating for a while, Iwasaki Mineryu decided to help and bring the two of them closer, but he could not guarantee whether the matter would be successful or not.

The main reason why he chose to help was that Lin Baicheng could help him make money. Iwasaki Mineryu didn't want to lose this 'good friend' who could help him make money. Take gold futures investment as an example. He listened to Lin Baicheng's advice last time and chose to buy. Although the initial adjustment caused the price to fall below 200 US dollars and he suffered a small loss, now the gold price has risen to close to 220 US dollars. On the contrary, he made a lot of money.

More importantly, there is a high possibility that the price of gold will continue to rise. The more it rises, the more Iwasaki Mineryu will make.

"I'll leave this to Iwasaki-kun. Just do your best. Time is not urgent. I can afford to wait even if it takes a few years."

Lin Baicheng immediately said that with the help of Iwasaki Mineryu, there is a certain chance of success no matter what. If it were him himself, the success rate would be infinitely close to zero.

"I try my best!"

Iwasaki Mineryu was secretly relieved. Since he was not in a hurry, maybe there would be a better opportunity in a year or two.

"Lin Jun, have you paid attention to the recent international news?"

Iwasaki Mineryu changed the subject and said: "Recently, the signals sent by China and the United States have become more and more obvious. Many experts believe that this is a prelude to the resumption of negotiations on establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries. It may not even be that secret negotiations have begun. What do you think? "

"Of course I pay attention to similar news. I don't know whether the two countries are negotiating. I only know one thing, that is, the two countries will establish diplomatic relations sooner or later. After all, there was a signal to establish diplomatic relations in the early 1970s, but it was later Domestic matters between the two countries have just been delayed."

Lin Baicheng smiled. In fact, he knew one thing very well, that is, the official establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries was January 1, 1979. This is the time to be determined. It certainly cannot be determined on the same day when the establishment of diplomatic relations is negotiated. There must have been a long period of negotiations before it, and it is already the end of September 1978, so it should be in the process of negotiation.

"Mitsubishi executives also judge that the two countries will establish diplomatic relations. After the two countries establish diplomatic relations, Mitsubishi will establish branches or offices in China. However, before that, Mitsubishi is likely to establish a branch in Xiangjiang. If there is a branch established by then, , and I hope you can give me more support, Mr. Lin."

The reason why Iwasaki Mineryu mentioned the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries was to induce Mitsubishi to invest in and build a branch in China. Of course, Xiangjiang, which has better economic conditions, cannot be ignored by Mitsubishi. Since Lin Baicheng is very powerful in Hong Kong, Bank of Mitsubishi certainly wants Lin Baicheng's support.

Lin Baicheng said truthfully: "If it is a large loan, there is no problem. The business dealings between the company and the bank, then I can only express regret. I have now established a bank."

“It’s OK to have a large loan.”

Iwasaki Mineryu was a little regretful, but since Lin Baicheng had his own bank, there was nothing he could do.
