The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

When we returned to Manulife Development Company, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, close to four o'clock.

He Jiahao was sitting on his office chair, with an information document from Chinese Real Estate Company on his desk.

The Chinese Real Estate Company in the previous life was the asset of Liu Luanxiong. It owned two central commercial buildings, the Entertainment Shop and the Chinese Real Estate Center. It made rapid progress and eventually became one of the top ten chaebols in Hong Kong.

However, Huazhi during this period was jointly controlled by the Li Guanchun family and the Feng Pingshan family. Both families held more than 30% of the shares of Huazhi, while other shareholders held less than 30% of the shares. If they wanted to use Huazhi, they basically had to It can't be hidden from the eyes of Feng and Li's family.

Chinese Real Estate Company was founded in 1922 by the Li and Feng families of Xiangjiang. It has been in existence for 55 years now. It is second only to some medium-sized British-owned enterprises and is in good operating condition. It has a good reputation in the real estate property rent collection and construction industries. With a net asset value of more than 280 million, a Chinese Real Estate Center building is worth 100 million, it has a large amount of land reserves, and also owns a large area of ​​rent-collecting properties in Causeway Bay. Its scale belongs to an upper-middle-sized real estate company.

He Jiahao understood that Huamei Real Estate was just a child in front of Chinese real estate, and did not even have the strength to fight. No wonder Liu Luanxiong in his previous life would get Huazhi at all costs. It was so good.

It is a pity that it was not until 1986 that the Li and Feng families had conflicts, otherwise He Jiahao would have wanted to take a bite.

What is a bad reputation is not worth mentioning in the face of sufficient benefits.

The only properties that Huamei Real Estate Company can offer are a commercial building in Causeway Bay and a first-floor building in Central. The others are completely inferior to Huazhi.

"Oh, it's too late to start. Let's see if we can rely on the immigration wave of the Sino-British negotiations in 1982. Property prices have plummeted, so we can buy the bottom to strengthen our strength." He Jiahao sighed. He had good luck when he acquired Huamei Real Estate. The ingredients are in it, otherwise it would be difficult to get it.

January 13

Continuing the downward trend at the end of 1977, it has been experiencing ups and downs since New Year's Day in 1978. The Hang Seng Index has continued to fall from 404.02 points to 383.44 points today, making stock investors howl.

He Jiahao really wants to buy the stock market at the bottom, but he suffers from insufficient funds.

In fact, his companies are developing well. Yun Zhimeng has made a lot of money from movies, comics, and magazines. In particular, the comic "Dragon" has exceeded 5 million copies. Derivatives such as dolls are very profitable. Manulife has made great achievements in acquiring land and properties. Showing off its talents, Huamei Real Estate develops real estate, the stock price rises to 1.5 yuan, and the company's net asset value reaches 120 million. Luotu Clothing has made amazing profits in clothing with the help of comic licensing and magazine promotion. Millennium Architecture is slowly getting on the right track. The business scope has been expanded, multiple engineering teams have been recruited, and the company has the ability to build three residential buildings at the same time.

The share acquisition of Qingzhou Ying Cement Company has reached 30%, and it is planned to complete the acquisition in April or May.

10 o'clock in the morning

He Jiahao met with Iwa Ohkawa, the vice president of RB Toei Co., Ltd., in the Yunzhimeng conference room. Both parties brought their own translators.

"Hello, Mr. Dachuanyan, welcome to Xiangjiang!" He Jiahao extended his right hand to Dachuanyan.

Okawayan is about 170cm tall, has a relatively big beer belly, and a round face with a lot of fat, which gives people a wretched feeling.

"Hello, Mr. He Jiahao! Please give me your advice!" Dachuanyan shook hands with He Jiahao.

"Please sit down!" Both parties sat down.

Luo Tang came in and brought them a cup of tea, "Please!"

After they took their first sip of tea, He Jiahao smiled and said, "Mr. Okawawa, let's get started. Toei wants to buy the copyright of "Dragon". I wonder what the price will be?"

Yes, today we are discussing the copyright issue of adapting "Dragon" into animation and movies.

"Mr. He, after discussions with the top management of Toei Co., Ltd., 10 million Hong Kong dollars, plus 3% profit sharing, is a very suitable price." Okawa Iwa said with a smile, his eyes were covered with fat, only Leave a gap.

Ho Jiahao retorted, "The copyright of the comic book "Dragon" has been granted to the Nishito Comics Company in your country at a price of HK$3 million per year. It has been greatly welcomed in the RB country, and the sales volume has reached two million copies. If Toei does not understand the situation, please understand it clearly before coming over to discuss it. This will be beneficial to both parties."

Hearing this, Okawayan still smiled and said, "Mr. He, comics and animation are not the same industry, but two industries. The investment in animation is far greater than the investment in comics. 10 million is already very high."

"We are all businessmen. Yun Zhimeng has no right to ask how much money you want to invest. If you insist on 10 million and a 3% profit share, Toei will not be able to get the animation and movie copyright of "Dragon". "He Jiahao shook his head.

The cost is high, it has nothing to do with the copyright owner, and there is no need to share the risk.

Okawa Iwa's face finally changed, "Okay, 15 million Hong Kong dollars, 3% profit, this is the highest bid from Toei Co., Ltd."

"Yes, but some conditions need to be changed. The ten-year term is replaced by a five-year term, and the business scope is only in RB and South Korea, except Xiangjiang, Wanwan, and the Mainland." He Jiahao said while maintaining a smile.

"Mr. He, this is a deletion of the contract content, which we cannot accept."

If you are anxious, finally anxious, then my opportunity will come.

He Jiahao shook his head and said with a smile, "Aren't we negotiating? Where did the contract content come from? Mr. Okawayan, 40 million Hong Kong dollars per year, 8% profit, this is Yunzhimeng's bottom line."

I'll double it for you and see if you still pretend to be a big-headed ghost.

Okawayan's eyes widened, "What? Mr. He, are you crazy?"

"Mr. Dachuanyan, you are rude." He Jiahao suppressed his smile and scolded him in a serious voice.

Okawayan stood up immediately, bowed and said sincerely, "I'm sorry!"

"Mr. Dachuanyan, please sit down and let's continue the discussion." Seeing that Dachuanyan had admitted his mistake, He Jiahao did not want to pursue the matter further. The business still had to be discussed. After all, his own interests were the most important.

"Mr. He, 40 million Hong Kong dollars and an annual profit of 8% are really too high." Okawayan said.

"Okay, I will take a final step back, 30 million, with an annual profit of 4%. This is Yunzhimeng's final bottom line. If you continue to disagree, this cooperation will end with regret." He Jiahao gave the final price.

Okawayan lowered his head and thought for a minute before replying, "I personally think there is no problem, but we still need to ask the company for instructions on this price. Can Yunzhimeng wait for a day?"

"Okay, I hope to get the answer from Toei before sunset tomorrow."

After seeing off Dachuanyan, He Jiahao returned to the office.

He knows that in this era, the price of 30 million is too expensive, but "Dragon" has great potential and is one of the best works in the history of the comic industry. If it were not for lack of money, he would develop "Dragon" into a movie. One per year, so as to maximize benefits.

So, He Jiahao called the comic department manager Wang Jinglin and told him to recruit two comic teams in the near future to be responsible for two newly opened comics.

Wang Jinglin is a comic talent that He Jiahao poached from RB country. He not only knows how to draw comics, but also knows how to operate comic products. By the way, he can share Lin Han's work. His annual salary has reached 72,000, and he also has various benefits.

"I wonder which direction the boss wants to develop comics?" Wang Jinglin asked.

"One is called "Crayon Shin-chan", which is mainly about family life and is mainly aimed at children. The other is "Slam Dunk", which is a campus basketball competition type and is aimed at teenagers." He Jiahao handed the document to Wang Jinglin and said "I have already written the plot. As for the characters, I need your comic team to decide on them."

Wang Jinglin quickly took the document and read it carefully. He had long known that his boss was a master of story writing. "Dragon" was his best-selling work. He heard that the previously popular novel "Kunlun" was also written by his boss.

"Boss, how many volumes of "Slam Dunk" can be published?" Wang Jinglin's eyes revealed desire.

He Jiahao knew that Wang Jinglin did not value "Crayon Shin-chan" for the simple reason that children's books were not very profitable and were very strict, so Wang Jinglin preferred "Slam Dunk". Teenagers also have pocket money and a certain amount of spending power.

"The single volume is 31 volumes. Do you have the confidence to complete these two new comics?"

"Yes, boss, don't worry, I will definitely finish these two works." Wang Jinglin said confidently.

After discussing a few more issues with Wang Jinglin and discussing solutions, Wang Jinglin left the office.

With the progress of the times, the market for comics is getting bigger and bigger. He Jiahao is considering whether to expand comics as a company. Anime movies are so profitable that they can become a pillar business.

In the end, he gave up. He felt that animation in the early days was a money-burning industry, and now he himself does not have so much money to spend on animation, which is a cold topic.

When it was almost time to get off work, Dachuanyan called and agreed to He Jiahao's conditions. The copyright fee for "Shenlong" was 30 million per year, and 4% of the annual profit was distributed. The business scope was except Xiangjiang, Mainland, Wanwan, and Aomen. All over the world, the contract period is ten years, and Toei Co., Ltd. has the priority to sign contracts after ten years.

He Jiahao finally showed a happy smile, 30 million Hong Kong dollars was enough for him to make a fortune in the stock market.

Of course, Toei Co., Ltd. does not suffer. In its previous life, this company relied on "Dragon Ball" to dominate the comic industry.

In this life, I just paid some money to He Jiahao, and it will not affect the overall situation.
