Chapter 158 158 [Fan business in winter]
"Then I will help you arrange a meeting with him tomorrow afternoon. This Hong Jinbao is looking for investment everywhere and wants to save Baoxiang Film Company. He should have time." Bai Jin Yan nodded.
After the matter was discussed, Luo Qihong raised the next topic: "There are many industrial companies emerging in the Xiangjiang market. Can De'an Company make some investments?"
Bai Jinyan was confused. Shaking his head, "There is still 3.2 million yuan in the company's accounts. This fund is also responsible for the company's turnover, loan repayment and employee salary commission payment."
Luo Qihong nodded helplessly, "Okay, but It is also necessary to collect information about such companies in advance so that investments can be made quickly after the company’s funds are withdrawn.”
Today's stock market situation is not very good, and De'an Company does not have the channels and strength to invest externally, so it can only seize all opportunities in the Hong Kong market.
Although Luo Qihong's previous plan was to rely on the funds of his subsidiary companies for development, this is obviously not possible now, and Luo Qihong needs the profits of De'an Company to repay the loan.
So, now we can only try our best to expand the scale and business scope of De'an Company.
"Okay, I will arrange for my men to do it." Bai Jinyan replied seriously.
The next afternoon
Luo Qihong met with Fatty Hong in a hotel lobby in Kowloon. This man was as fat as his previous life, but it did not affect his agility.
Before coming here, Fatty Hong had already had preliminary information about Luo Qihong. He knew that Luo Qihong was very powerful and owned many listed companies. His profit from Paramount Company alone exceeded 400 million yuan.
Now he owns a rare high-quality enterprise in Hong Kong - China Gas Company, which is stronger than ordinary tycoons.
"Hello, Hong Sheng!" Luo Qihong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hong Jinbao.
"Hello, Luo Sheng! Please take care of me!" Hong Jinbao didn't dare to show off in front of the tycoon. After all, today was also about asking for help.
Luo Qihong ordered the waiter to serve the food, and at the same time said to Hong Jinbao, "Hong Sheng, you and I are both straightforward people, so I won't beat around the bush. I plan to invest in your Baoxiang Film Company. Is there any chance of this?" < br>
"Luo Sheng should know the current situation of Baoxiang Film Company, right?!" Hong Jinbao saw Luo Qihong nodded, and then said, "Baoxiang Film Company seems to be going bankrupt, but there are also three jins of nails in a broken ship, connections. There are still resources such as the team and the team.”
Hong Jinbao is increasing their negotiating capital, with some empty words sandwiched between the truth. Fortunately, Luo Qihong has carefully read the information of Baoxiang Film Company, and Hong Jinbao You can't fool him.
Luo Qihong sneered in his heart, 'Hong Jinbao, who seems to be honest, is actually very dishonest, no worse than some shopping mall veteran. ’
But think about it, Hong Jinbao has been in the film industry for more than ten years, how can he be a ‘novice’? He can at least fight with people like Zou Wenhuai twice.
"Hong Sheng, I am an investor, not a philanthropist. If there are no expected benefits, I will not invest." Luo Qihong shook his head, "So I hope that 800,000 yuan will account for 70% of the shares. Considering the current situation of Baoxiang Film According to the situation, De'an Company can invest in the first few movies."
When Hong Jinbao heard this, his expression changed. Didn't this mean that he would work for Luo Qihong? If this is the case, he might as well cooperate with Jiahe Entertainment Company. At least Jiahe Entertainment Company can provide the greatest support.
"Luo Sheng, this is impossible! Baoxiang Films is in trouble, but it is not a 'big cabbage' that can be picked up casually." Hong Jinbao was a little excited, "If I hold 70% of the shares, I might as well Cooperate with other film companies."
"Really?" Luo Qihong poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "How much share does Hong Sheng intend to let De'an Company hold?"
" 800,000 yuan for 40% of the shares?!" Hong Jinbao asked tentatively. He knew that selling Baoxiang Film to Luo Qihong would be the best outcome, because Luo Qihong didn't understand film production and they could take advantage of the opportunity to control the company.
As for Jiahe Entertainment, Zou Wenhuai would definitely say that they would be given autonomy, but in reality he would also intervene, making them less vulnerable than Luo Qihong.
"This is impossible!" Luo Qihong waved his hand, "De'an Company must control Baoxiang Film Company. If Hong Sheng cannot accept this condition, then there is no need for us to continue talking."
< br>"De'an Company has great wealth and power. There is no need to fight against Baoxiang Film Company. It can completely acquire other film companies."
Hong Jinbao thought for a while and said, "1 million accounts for How about 51% of the shares?”
Luo Qihong still shook his head, “One million yuan should account for at least 60% of the shares. According to my investigation, 800,000 yuan for 60% of the shares is reasonable, but I don’t think so. I am willing to be aggressive and willing to suffer losses only if I want to make friends with Hong Sheng.”
Hong Jinbao gritted his teeth. What Luo Qihong said made sense and was also true. "1 million yuan accounts for 55% of the shares. I also have two partners, and they both need some shares. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me alone." We can support Baoxiang Film Company."
"Okay, 1 million yuan will account for 55% of the shares. The management rights will belong to Hong Sheng and you, but the decision-making power will still be made by De'an Company. Of course, you can also give your opinions. . ”
“Under normal circumstances, De’an Company will not interfere with your operations, and the opinions of shareholders will be considered in decision-making. Only when there is a dispute, someone will make the decision.”
< br>Luo Qihong said lightly, he has always been domineering and did not want to be threatened at a critical moment.
At this point, Hong Jinbao can only agree, otherwise he may not even be able to get the management rights, but he still put forward some conditions to protect their rights and interests. "The company's current personnel position arrangement is not bad. I I hope Luo Sheng will not have any transfers.”
"Don't worry, I will only place personnel in the financial department. I will not interfere in other departments." Luo Qihong said straightforwardly.
The finance department is crucial, otherwise what would happen if Hong Jinbao and the others were in deficit, and Luo Qihong also had no sense of security.
Being on guard against others is essential, not to mention that Hong Jinbao is just an outsider.
Hong Jinbao nodded and said, "The financial department will naturally be in charge of Luo Shenglai, and we will be responsible for other company matters."
"Hong Sheng, since we have reached an agreement, why not talk about Bao "The situation of Xiang Film Company." Luo Qihong knew that the information obtained in the investigation was very limited, so it would be better to ask Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao was silent for nearly a minute and said, "Luo Sheng, to be honest, the situation of Baoxiang Films is very bad. Last year, 9 films were shot, 6 of them lost money, and now some employees are still owed wages."< br>
Luo Qihong nodded lightly. This statement was expected. Funding matters can be easily solved. If financing is not enough, you can borrow money to make up for it. With Luo Qihong's connections, it is not a big problem to guarantee a loan of several million for Baoxiang Film Company. .
He also has a good story and script, but he also needs a good director to film.
"The funding issue is not difficult to solve, but we cannot keep losing money." Luo Qihong said with a calm expression, "Does Hong Sheng have any plans to change the status quo?"
"Film production is nothing more than 4 There are three elements, actors, directors, behind-the-scenes and scripts. We have the first three, but now we need a suitable script."
"I have quite a few stories, and the plots are fresh, but I lack good screenwriters and directors."
Hong Jinbao naturally does not believe that Luo Qihong has such ability, but it is not easy to expose it directly, "I am a good screenwriter. I know several of them, including many directors, and can help.”
Luo Qihong doesn’t care about this. If Hong Jinbao says that he is a real estate expert, he will not believe it. This is human nature, as long as he proves it next. It'll be ready in one go.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Hong Sheng." Luo Qihong said with a smile.
Hong Jinbao noticed that Luo Qihong was a bit joking, as if he really had a talent for movies.
Return to Ulsan Garden Residence in Mid-Levels District in the evening.
Luo Qihong met Zhang Kuisheng, the owner of Fujia Newspaper Company, whom he had not seen for more than a year. He had the impression that this man was a businessman who was not very humane and only cared about profit. He guessed that Zhang Kuisheng came to help. The only thing I'm not sure about is what it was for. It might be Fujia Newspaper Company, or it might be some other bad thing.
"It turns out that Ah Hong is back. Do you still remember me?" Zhang Kuisheng stood up directly, making some flattering remarks.
For the sake of his parents, Luo Qihong shook hands with Zhang Kuisheng and said with a smile, "Of course you remember, it's Uncle Zhang. Last year I went to Fujia Newspaper Company to talk to you about cooperation."
"Yes, it's me, Zhang Kuisheng!" Zhang Kuisheng was not embarrassed at all, but he talked with ease. "Our two families were almost the same before, but now I can't flatter you."
Luo Qihong heard these compliments very much. Naturally, but Luo Zegui, Lin Ya, and even Luo Qixing sounded embarrassed and felt a bit bullying.
Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, just tell him if you have anything to do. There is no need to say such complimentary words."
If it weren't for the fact that his family was uncomfortable, Luo Qihong would not have said stop easily.
"Okay, let me explain my purpose directly." Zhang Kuisheng said in a low profile, "The competition among magazines is too fierce now. The sales of the company's products have dropped significantly, and developing new products requires some funds. Fujia Newspaper I’m afraid I can’t afford it, so I wanted to ask you if you are willing to invest in Fujia Newspaper?”
Luo Qihong asked, "What investment method does Uncle Zhang plan to use? Should he borrow money or buy shares?"
"Buy shares. The current situation of Fujia Newspaper is not very good. If the Luo family joins, the situation will definitely improve. Zhang Kuisheng grinned and said, "2 million accounts for 40% of the shares, how about"
2 million accounts for 40% of the shares!
A sinister smile immediately appeared on the corner of Luo Qihong's mouth. The entire Fujia Newspaper Company was not worth 2 million yuan. This was completely treating them as fools.
"Uncle Zhang, this is going to disappoint you. Our family is in the printing business and has no interest in investing in a newspaper." Luo Qihong immediately refused.
Of course Luo Zegui wanted to help Zhang Kuisheng, but unfortunately he asked for 2 million yuan. He did not have that much money, and he also knew that Zhang Kuisheng regarded them as "water fish" (taken advantage of).
“500,000 yuan for 10% of the shares is fine.” Seeing this, Zhang Kuisheng quickly came up with his second plan.
Compared with the first plan, the second plan seems to be much better, at least the senses are much better.
"Uncle Zhang, this is business, let me get it straight." Luo Qihong said seriously, "500,000 yuan accounts for at least 40% of the shares, and we have to audit the accounts to truly reach cooperation."
Zhang Kuisheng suddenly became sad. He knew that Luo Qihong's side was not going to work, so he focused on Luo Zegui and said, "Brother Gui, it's hard to hear that 500,000 shares account for 40% of the shares. It's not that I can't bear it. But if your Luo family gets rich, others will think you are rich and unkind.”
Luo Qihong sneered and said, "Do you have to follow Uncle Zhang's conditions to be a good person? It's really rare to get this kind of attitude when asking for help."
"It's not impossible to hold 10% of the shares with 500,000, but it needs to be professionally approved. If the evaluation agency evaluates the assets of Fujia Newspaper Company, if the asset value is 5 million yuan, even if it is only 4 million yuan, we will accept it. What does Uncle Zhang think?"
"Haha! We are acquaintances, I have no reason to lie to you, you have cooperated with Fujia Newspaper for so long, you should know the details of Fujia Newspaper," Zhang Kuisheng continued to quibble, his eyes constantly moving around the Luo family.
"Brothers have settled accounts clearly, so why did Uncle Zhang become so 'unsophisticated'?" Luo Qihong began to deny face, Zhang Kuisheng went too far.
"Ah Sheng, Ah Hong is right, this is business, not favors." Lin Ya naturally supported her son, "If you want to use favors to repay the money, I don't think you can exchange it for a few Money.”
The meaning of this is obvious. Zhang Kuisheng and the Luo family don't have much friendship.
Luo Zegui's face looked a little ugly, but he still didn't say anything.
Seeing that Zhang Kuisheng did not answer, Lin Ya directly dismissed the guest and said, "Ah Sheng, go back and think about it first. If you accept our conditions, call us to inform us."
Luo Qihong couldn't help but feel sorry for him Lin Ya gave a thumbs up, and it was only appropriate for Lin Ya to chase away guests. After all, Zhang Kuisheng was an elder, and it would be even more unsightly for him to chase away guests.
Zhang Kuisheng glanced at Luo Zegui and saw that Luo Zegui had no intention of speaking out, so he sighed and left.
Lin Ya glared at the door and said, "Are you coming to think we are fools? His shabby newspaper office is worth 5 million? He clearly wants to cheat our family's money. If it weren't for the sake of the past, I would be taking it The broom was thrown out."
Lin Ya is still as aggressive as before, without any of the manners of those noble ladies.
Luo Qihong felt very relieved. This is the way to deal with scoundrels. Politeness and conscience are all "capital for advancement" in the eyes of scoundrels.
Luo Zegui thought for a while and said, "Zhang Kuisheng has always been a person who has no profit and cannot afford to start early. He did take care of our family's business before, and it's not easy to break up. Ah Hong, why don't you talk to him?" Be careful not to suffer a loss or take advantage, just return the favor."
Luo Qihong nodded, but did not pay attention to Luo Zegui's words. It seemed that Zhang Kuisheng was taking care of the Luo family, but in fact Zhang Kuisheng was taking care of the Luo family. Look for bargains on yourself.
"Ignore him, let's eat first." Lin Ya waved her hand and announced that dinner was ready.
After dinner, both Lin Ya and Luo Zegui talked to the two brothers Luo Qihong. Lin Ya's attitude was that she could not suffer any loss, while Luo Zegui meant that she could suffer some loss and don't do it too ugly.
Luo Qihong and Luo Qixing agreed more with Lin Ya's opinion and could not suffer a loss at the hands of Zhang Kuisheng.
Hexiang Trading Company Office
"Liu Sheng, I am very interested in the cooperation you mentioned with Hexiang Trading, but is the distribution of interests a bit fair?" Luo Qihong stared at the future of the top 20 companies in Hong Kong Liu Luanxiong, one of the chaebols, pursed his lips and smiled.
This made Luo Qihong somewhat unexpected. Aimeigao Company had not yet opened up the European market, but instead wanted to come to Hexiang Trading Company for help.
Of course, Hexiang Trading Company's trading strength in Europe is not strong, and Luo Qihong didn't bother to ask Liu Luanxiong why.
"Luo Sheng, the profits of Aimego are also very thin, with a profit margin of less than 7%." Liu Luanxiong said, "European and American countries are in an energy dilemma. They are now vigorously calling for energy conservation. Wait until next summer. ", it will definitely be a big hit."
Luo Qihong smiled, it is now the cold winter season, and there will be nearly half a year until next summer. How can we know the situation? This Liu Luanxiong is really eloquent.
"Liu Sheng, it's winter now, it's too early to say anything." Luo Qihong smiled and said, "If Liu Sheng can lower the price and control your company's profit margin to around 5%, I can let Hexiang The trading company purchases 300,000 fans. The quantity will only increase in the summer. ”
Liu Luanxiong naturally understands the principle of small profits but quick turnover, but this price reduction will require other trading companies to also reduce their prices, which seems to be uneconomical.
"Luosheng, profits are already very low, and Aimeigao also needs to be profitable, otherwise it will be difficult to sustain itself." Liu Luanxiong said.
Luo Qihong raised his lips and smiled and said, "I know Liu Sheng's concerns. We can sign two contracts. The first one is for outsiders to see, and the second one is the real one. I promise that from now on, By 1983, Hexiang Trading Company will order 10 million fans from Aimeigao Company. "
"Luo Sheng wants to sign a gambling agreement?" Liu Luanxiong asked, staring at Luo Qihong. .
"Okay, then let's sign an agreement. If we can't order more than 10 million fans, Hexiang Trading Company will also pay the same price to Amigao Company." Luo Qihong pursed his lips and smiled.
