Reborn Tycoon Rise

Xu Zhi didn't want to waste any more time with the old man and said directly: "Mr. Bao Fuda, it is currently impossible to invest in Midea. If our company accepts financing in the future or prepares to go public, Land and Jardine can invest at any time? Let's talk about it Let’s deal with TVB!”

This is of course false. How can such a good thing be cheap? Even if Midea does go public in the future, companies like Jardine Matheson will not be eligible to enter the market.

Bao Fuda said: "If this is the case, 13% of the stock, 80 million Hong Kong dollars, is this price acceptable to Xu Sheng?

"80 million!" After hearing this, Xu Zhi calculated in his mind that if it was 13% of the shares, then Wireless's valuation would be close to HK$400 million.

Whether the price is worth it, Xu Zhi actually has no idea, because TVB is not a listed company at present, and because it is a media company in Hong Kong, the annual advertising bidding is basically open to the public. Even if the TV station keeps it secret, if someone is serious about it, If you want to estimate, public business data can also be roughly calculated. Instead of being randomly guessed, it is better to tell it directly. Therefore, Wireless discloses its annual advertising revenue every year, which is basically 300-400 million Hong Kong dollars every year!

However, the company's operating costs and profits are confidential data, and the outside world has no way of knowing them.

Xu Zhi said: "This price is not unacceptable, but I want to see the company's annual report of TVB."

As one of Wireless's major shareholders, Jardine has a seat on Wireless's board of directors. Wireless's annual report is confidential to the outside world, but Jardine is certainly aware of it.

In terms of funds, Wang Liming and He Guoyuan went to New York, USA, and placed the sales data of Xiangjiang Cubes and Snake in the US arcades on the desk of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs was quite pleasantly surprised after seeing the data, and immediately agreed to a loan of US$20 million, which was close to HK$100 million when converted into Hong Kong dollars. With this HK$100 million, the TV station's shares could be afforded.

However, the interest rates on loans are not low. Although the first oil crisis has passed, the global economy has still not recovered. Loan interest rates in the United States are extremely high, while other parts of the world, including Hong Kong, have been affected.

The 1970s and 1980s were the most difficult times for the global economy. In a country like the United States with almost no deposits, interest rates on deposits have been as high as 5-6% in recent years. Currently, the basic interest rate for a year is as high as more than ten points. Short-term loans It is not surprising that it reaches 20%, so Xu Zhi is also more cautious about loans.

"This won't work." Bao Fuda said, "If Xu Sheng reads this confidential annual report and doesn't buy it, then wouldn't I have leaked the company's confidential data?

Xu Zhi said: "In that case, forget it." After saying that, Xu Zhi made a move to leave!

"Wait a minute." A voice came from behind, and Bao Fuda said, "Xu Sheng, you are so impatient, you are not suitable for business negotiations!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "As I said before, there is no need to waste your patience on things that are not beneficial!"

Bao Fuda smiled and said: "I heard that Xu Sheng's company is negotiating with the Hong Kong government about a piece of industrial land in Kowloon?"

"Why didn't I know when the Hong Kong government belonged to the Jardine Group?" Xu Zhi joked and said with a smile. Although this matter is not a big secret, not many people inside Midea know about it. If Jardine knows about it, Eighty percent of it was revealed by people from the Hong Kong government.

Bao Fuda ignored the objection and said: "Xu Sheng, we at Jardine really hope to reach some cooperation with Xu Sheng. Wireless shares can be slowly negotiated. As for industrial land, we have quite a lot of it under the Land Group, basically all of them are in the transportation area." A convenient place, as long as Xu Sheng agrees to another condition, we can sell the land to you at a low price."

"What conditions?" Xu Zhi didn't believe that the other party would be so kind. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Bao Fuda said: "I want the general distribution rights of Midea Group's arcade machines in Europe!"

"You guys have such a big appetite. When will Real Estate prepare to become a distributor of video games?" Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Bao Fuda shook his head mysteriously and said, "Xu Sheng misunderstood, I'm talking about me, not Land!"

"Oh!" Xu Zhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to have such an idea, and said: "It's not impossible, but this involves the company's strategic cooperation. Mr. Bao Fuda, you must prove that you are capable of taking charge of such a large project! And your investment is simply not enough to exchange for this kind of deal!"

Bao Fuda asked: "How can we prove it?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "This involves many issues. First, you cannot give up your position as Land Manager, so how will you invest in our Midea arcade dealer business?"

Bao Fuda smiled and said: "I have a cousin in the UK, he can run it on my behalf."

Xu Zhi asked again: "What's the explanation for Newbijian? Whether it's wireless or industrial land, they are also assets owned by Jardine Matheson after all?"

Newbikin is Jardine's Taipan, who controls Jardine, Land, Wharf and other companies. He is one of the most powerful figures in Hong Kong.

Bao Fuda said: "Nubijian naturally knows about this!"

"Understood." Xu Zhi smiled. This group of people are actually just using the power of the company to start a small business for themselves. Although these people have high incomes, with an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars, and although they are powerful, their annual income is actually more than After working in a small company for a long time, I have some ideas.

But the clever thing is that they didn’t start directly with the company, and even related companies and industries were not involved. They chose to cooperate with Xu Zhi, which was a very good choice! It’s an industry that my company doesn’t want to be related to at all.

Xu Zhi asked again: "This cooperation is possible, but you do not have perfect sales channels in Europe. It is unrealistic to give you such great rights. I can hand over the entire UK market distribution to you!"

"It's just the UK, too few, right?" Bao Fuda frowned.

Xu Zhidao: "The UK has a population of more than 56 million, and its per capita economy is not worse than that of the United States. Do you know how big the arcade market is in the US market? It exceeded US$1 billion last year. How is the UK market? Proportionally." It’s close to 200 million U.S. dollars. As for how to develop it, that’s your business. If you don’t have the ability to play, or the sales are not good, I will take back the distribution rights when it expires!”

Bao Fuda frowned and thought for a moment: "Then what if our market development is very good?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Of course we can make money together, but if you are ambitious, you can develop other markets in Europe. At present, our company does not have its own distributors in many European countries, but we must have channels before we can give it to you. Distribution rights, like the British market, it is impossible to get the distribution rights first and then build channels!”

Bao Fuda nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's start with the British market!"
