Ning Weimin's explanation undoubtedly revealed his ambition completely.
The loud tone is really eye-catching.
At the same time, it also gave Saburo Hirohira and Minoru Funaki the feeling that the child they had finally raised had been cared about for a long time and was about to be taken away completely.
But neither Guanghei Saburo nor Funaki Minoru could blame Ning Weimin for coveting him.
Because speaking of it, it was Zhou Mumin who took the initiative to inquire about Ning Weimin.
And everything people want is also on the table.
It’s up to you to choose between the two proposals, and the reasons for the different prices will be clearly told to you.
Yes, the benefits of a "complete" merger of Taurus and a "partial" purchase of Taurus are different, so the prices people are willing to pay are also different.
How can they criticize such a reasonable and unabashedly sincere attitude?
The key is that in terms of price, Ning Weimin’s price is not low.
Frankly speaking, even the price of the first proposal has fully met the psychological expectations of Saburo Hirohira and Minoru Funaki.
Ning Weimin is right, a discount of this magnitude is a completely reasonable bargaining space and is not excessive at all.
As for the second proposal, the extra premium is a complete surprise and full of temptation.
Not to mention Minoru Funaki secretly swallowing his saliva after seeing this offer, even Saburo Hirohei had an urge to transfer all his shares.
Not to mention, Ning Weimin actually took the initiative to make arrangements for Zhou Muminun's future.
He clearly told Minoru Funaki that even if he "completely" bought Taurus Palace, all of Minoru Funaki's interests in the company would not change.
This can be described as considerate and thoughtful, which is really amazing.
His promise is tantamount to eliminating all worries for Minoru Funaki.
Needless to say, Minoru Funaki must be very happy, which is equivalent to creating a certain rift in the interest alliance between Saburo Hirohira and Funaki to some extent.
Having said that, it is human nature to be greedy after all.
Even if the conditions offered to Ning Weimin are satisfied, driven by profit, as a seller, he often wants to try to gain more profits.
This is just like what the domestic "Teacher Ma" said, as long as it is a transaction, it will not work without discussing the price.
Because of the fixed price transaction, no matter what the price, the seller will always feel a loss.
Especially for someone like Saburo Hirohei who has been in a high position in PolyGram Records for a long time and thinks very highly of himself.
If after hearing Ning Weimin's conditions, he immediately nodded and chose one of the two proposals, he would undoubtedly lose in terms of momentum.
He is a person who is used to telling others what to do. If he is completely suppressed by this young man and has no ability to resist at all, how can his self-esteem bear it?
So he stopped exchanging opinions with Minoru Funaki and spoke directly, trying to pick the bones from the eggs.
"President Ning, regarding your issue of different quotations based on the proportion of shares acquired, I admit that your words make sense. Especially considering the severe external situation you are currently facing, I would like to express my gratitude to you. I can fully understand the reason for the two different price measurement standards. However, even if you think that the current price is full of sincerity, I still cannot agree with this, whether you believe it or not. The quotation is also full of sincerity. Because just like you, we are also people who value friendship and do not add falsehoods to the quotation. I believe you can understand this if you look at our financial items one by one. "
This guy speaks with a standard Tokyo accent, but the end of his words has a soft tone unique to Kansai accent.
What he means is that there is no room for negotiation in their quotation and they still want to raise the price.
Of course, this is a bit like learning now and selling it now, and he is clearly using the reason Ning Weimin just gave to stab him back.
Ning Weimin speculates that he is probably the Osaka native who is the best at doing business among the Japanese, just like our "Lao Xi'er".
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so smart and never forget to create trading conditions that are beneficial to you.
However, the other party's greedy and insufficient reaction was actually within Ning Weimin's prediction.
Since the other party insists on being so fussy, he no longer has to worry about feelings, and naturally he has to show off his white teeth.
"As for the financial data of Taurus Palace, I don't need you to remind me. I also know that it is very beautiful. After all, based on our cooperative relationship with Taurus Palace, we already know how your company's business situation is really going. Especially in movies. The theme song "Please Don't Go" of "Li Xianglan" is still my personal work. I also received more than 4 million yen in royalties through Taurus Palace. As one of the beneficiaries, I can even feel that Taurus Palace makes money. Ability. So this time, for the financial data you provided, I only need to pay attention to the total data of Taurus Palace's debt situation and profitability. At present, Taurus Palace's is more than 110 million yen. Compared with the debt situation, which is expected to exceed 300 million yen this year, it can be said that it is very healthy."
"You are really very talented, and the theme song of the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" is indeed excellent. You also composed the theme song "Continuous Streaming" of "The Romance". Such talent is really amazing. It's a pity that you are not a professional songwriter."
Despite such flattering words, Guan There was not much expression on Heisaburo's face, showing that these were just words for the occasion.
Even though he also works in a record company, he doesn’t have much artistic talent.
After all, he is no longer a young man. Ning Weimin's personal talent is none of his business.
He only cares about the real interests that he can touch.
Because he expected that there would be a turning point in the other party's next words, his attention was focused on what Ning Weimin said next.
"You are too polite, my level is not worth mentioning."
As expected, Ning Weimin also said a polite word without any nutrition, followed by the real conversation Here comes the point.
“However, it is precisely because I have a better understanding of the situation in Taurus Palace that I understand one thing, that is, most of the profits of Taurus Palace are made from Teresa. Teresa is the core asset of Taurus and the source of most of its profits. It can almost be said that Taurus's current outstanding performance is the most powerful manifestation of Teresa's commercial value. You will not deny this. Right? ”
"This... let's just say it is."
Guanghei Saburo twitched his cheeks and muttered. He had already understood Ning Weimin's hint.
I heard that he was referring to Teresa Teng's contract expiring in two years, so I immediately made a guarantee that Teresa Teng would not leave Taurus Palace.
"But what does it matter? Anyway, Theresa will not leave Taurus Palace. When the contract expires, a new contract will be signed. And judging from the current trend, with the help you provide This movie theme song won two major awards at the album awards this year. Teresa should at least lock in the cable TV award in advance. Even if your "Crazy Rich Asians" cannot be released, "The Stream" will still be a good one. song, I believe that as long as this song is released, Teresa's career will definitely reach a higher level in the future. On this basis, the future of our Taurus Palace will certainly be brighter, and I can be optimistic now. Judging, next year's income will only be doubled. You don't deny this, right?"
Although Sekihira Saburo seems confident, From Ning Weimin's point of view, this was nothing more than strong talk.
As a result, he finally said the words that really hurt the other party.
“I don’t deny that Teresa can bring more business benefits to Taurus in the future. But whether Teresa can continue to stay in Taurus is a question. In my opinion, on this matter, You are too optimistic. Have you ever thought about what would happen if there was a competition between us? "Who will Teresa choose?" Min was shocked, but that wasn't enough, Ning Weimin continued.
“Matsumoto Office is even willing to give Teresa a far more generous treatment than Taurus. In order to win over Teresa, we are willing to make the biggest concessions in terms of commission, such as giving her six and the firm four. . Do you think Teresa will be tempted? Maybe Taurus is also willing to offer better conditions?"
This is really bullying.
Guanghei Saburo never dreamed that Ning Weimin would actually use the Chinese nation's ultimate nirvana - "involution" on him.
This is a price war and a blow to the Taurus Palace.
So he could no longer suppress his emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but asked angrily, "President Ning, are your assumptions a threat to us? Are you trying to destroy the industry? Are you following the rules? Do you want to keep playing tricks on us? Don’t you actually want to invest in Taurus?”
Funuki Minoru’s face also became ugly.
Although he said nothing, he looked at Ning Weimin with an inexplicable shock and some confusion.
It seems that I just discovered today that Ning Weimin's spring-like smile actually hides a pair of sharp teeth that can crush other people's bones.
"No, no, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean any threats. We are also sincere in investing in Taurus. Otherwise, if we have such despicable intentions, why would we say it out loud? ? It would be more convenient to discuss the terms with Teresa in private. Please believe that what I said just now is just an objective assumption from the perspective of pure interests, and I just don’t want things to go wrong. This step. At the same time, I hope this will make you understand how we consider the value of Taurus. In fact, in any transaction, both parties must fully understand the consequences of the decision, so they will not regret it, right? Ning Weimin is right.
No matter how expensive the termination fee is, it cannot be compared to 1.5 billion yen.
The maximum compensation is one to two hundred million yen.
And if such thoughts were hidden in his heart, it would indeed be more reassuring than if he showed them openly. At least he wouldn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
Looking at Ning Weimin's smiling face, the emotions of Saburo Hirohei and Minoru Funaki eased a little, and they were able to remain quite calm and continue to listen to Ning Weimin's next words.
“...I’m not afraid that you two will be offended, so I will say some things directly. In fact, from our own interests, we are not very enthusiastic about the first transaction proposal of 30% of the shares. You know, because recently What happened made us realize how important it is to have our own artists, so we reviewed it and decided to add our own direct artists, even if President Funaki did not contact us to recruit artists to become a commercial company. It is also imperative.”
“So if you two are inclined to this proposal, we can only measure the value of Taurus according to Teresa’s current brokerage contract period and our alliance. It can only last until Teresa's contract expires. After that, we cannot guarantee that we will not compete fairly with Taurus Palace for Teresa's new contract."
"After all, there is a difference between 30% shares and 90% shares. It's too big. In the face of such important interests, we actually have no choice. If we are destined to confront you on this matter, no matter how unwilling we are, we will be forced to accept this point. Know in advance ”
"As for the second option, that is the deal we really want to reach with you two. This model is actually good for both of us. Not only can it completely stabilize our cooperative relationship, even Teresa's contract will not We need to face problems in the future. With our relationship with her, it should be natural for her to keep her, and she will no longer have to worry about the problem of choosing one or the other, and the two of us will receive enough premiums as compensation. , This is our greatest sincerity.”
“Therefore, I sincerely hope that you two can consider our transaction carefully. As I said at the beginning, I come here with sincerity. In fact, no matter what kind of proposal, the price we propose is not purely based on interests, but a comprehensive consideration of our mutual friendship and future cooperation space. I only hope that we can make peace with each other in the most harmonious way. You have reached an agreement on the alliance of interests.”
What Ning Weimin wanted to say has finally been finished, but the impact is undoubtedly huge.
After listening to this, Saburo Hirohei and Minoru Funaki fell into silence.
The situation is now clear, although Ning Weimin's words are not listened to.
But the fact is that no matter which angle you look at it, they seem to be at a disadvantage and they don't seem to have a choice.
And what they said was very kind, and they still didn’t hide anything. You really can’t put the label of coercion on others. This cannot be confused with simply luring a wolf into the house.
"President Ning, I have no doubts about the price for the time being. However, you only allow us to choose one of the two proposals. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? Can't we find another one? A compromise plan?”
After a long silence, Guanghei Saburo spoke again.
"What suggestions do you have? I'm all ears." Ning Weimin said calmly.
"I mean, maybe we can set the share transaction at 51%? As for the price, I think twenty... twenty-four million yen... is more fair. What about this proposal? Are you willing to consider it? "
When Hirohei Saburo said these words, he seemed to reach a price agreement with Funaki Minoru Taurus through eye contact.
Just like that, the ball was passed to Ning Weimin's feet again.
Ning Weimin had to admit that this guy's mind was spinning very quickly.
Now he finds that the situation is stronger than the people, and it is difficult to have any room for negotiation.
Of the two options faced, it is obvious that the price is most appropriate only if the shares are fully sold.
But he was not willing to quit completely. He probably also had expectations for the future of Taurus, and he didn't want to miss out on those benefits, so he put forward such a condition.
However, Ning Weimin would not let him be so satisfied. He was bound to get 90% of the shares in Taurus Palace.
He pretended to think seriously for a while, and then shook his head.
"Quang Binh Sang, with all due respect. In view of the fact that you have taken up an important position in PolyGram Records, this plan is good, but I am afraid it will not work. Because once we own most of the shares of Taurus Palace, I will definitely invest more to develop Taurus, but if I want to grow and expand, I will probably have an interest dispute with your company, such as competing for artists or competing for songs. Then as Taurus. As one of the shareholders, how should you deal with it? Even if President Funaki and I believe that you will put the interests of Taurus first, what attitude should you take towards PolyGram? Will your colleagues believe you? ”
Having said this, he said with an attitude of considering the other party, "So, it's not that I'm unkind. It's just that the current situation determines that this plan of yours will not work. Otherwise, without this In terms of concerns, having shareholders like you will also help Taurus’ business. So why should I refuse? I am willing to make friends with you. If there is a suitable opportunity, it is possible for us to form a new cooperative relationship. "
Well, Guanghei Saburo is done now. Gagged.
"Okay, I understand. What you said makes sense."
He nodded with a wry smile, "But even so, because this matter is so important, I'm afraid I still need I'll give you a final reply on this matter after some time."
Ning Weimin couldn't refuse this reasonable request.
After all, it’s not just buying radishes or selling cabbage, it’s a multi-billion-yen deal, and everyone has to think about it carefully, right?
Of course, he also guessed that the other party probably wanted to inquire about the price with another company.
He knows that things should not be delayed, and things will change if they are delayed.
So a promise is a promise, but there are also additional conditions.
“With all due respect, our current situation does not allow too much time to be wasted. So I can only give you three days at most to consider this matter. If it exceeds this time, you can reply to me. Sorry, my quotation today will be invalidated, and I can only send someone to negotiate with you item by item. Please forgive me for this.”
The point of these words is also very clear, it is to set a trap for Saburo Hirohei and Minoru Funaki.
I don’t have time to wait for you to think about it, such a good price is overdue.
As a result, I don’t know whether it’s because Ning Weimin’s plan has given Zhou Mumin much more than he expected, or whether it’s because Zhoumumin has already made a choice in his heart, and he is a little worried. Ning Wei Minhui regretted it.
At this time, before Saburo Hirohei said anything, Minoru Funaki, who had been silent, took the lead in expressing his stance.
I couldn't help but interject, "No, no, it won't take three days. President Ning, please rest assured. We will reply to you as soon as possible."
"That's good. I'll be waiting for your call."
"However, I still have a question. I don't know if I should ask more."
"Please say... ..."
"If we choose the second proposal, does Fog Studio have enough funds to pay so much cash at once, especially when there are still two movies to be shot..."
This statement undoubtedly fully expresses his personal position.
So regardless of the embarrassment on Saburo Guanghei's face, Ning Weimin really showed a relaxed smile.
"Don't worry. It's true that Wu Studio is short of people right now, but the most indispensable thing is funds. Once we sign, the deposit of one billion yen will be paid to the two of you first, and the equity transfer procedures will be completed. , How about paying the remaining 3.5 billion yen on the spot?”
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Saburo Hirohei do?
To be honest, he was cursing in his heart.
You Funaki Minoru can’t wait to change the family.
In order to surrender to your new master, you don't even have to be reserved?
But on the other hand, he also knew that all pretense was useless, so he simply became a bachelor.
"President Ning, although I have met you for the first time today, I have already been deeply impressed by your personal style. I am completely convinced that with your ability, you will definitely win the final victory in this war. . Under your care, Taurus will definitely become a well-known record company. I will seriously consider your sincere proposal and hope that we can meet again as soon as possible and we will have the opportunity to cooperate."
"I think so too. There must be a chance."
The two hands, which almost represented the fulfillment of the intention, were held together. (End of chapter)
