Chapter 1073 Familiar Strangers
Xu Liang nodded slightly and said, "Chairman Nakamura, everyone, as the major shareholder of Bandai Namco, I definitely hope that the company will develop better.
In addition to the previous suggestions, I also brought gifts this time."
When I mentioned the gifts, everyone looked over subconsciously.
“I believe everyone knows about the animated film "Kung Fu Panda" produced by China Jiahua Entertainment. On behalf of Jiahua Entertainment, I cooperated with Bandai, and Bandai was responsible for the toy, video and music development of "Kung Fu Panda" in Japan. and sales work.”
The eyes of Nakamura Masaya and others instantly lit up.
"Kung Fu Panda" has a global box office of over US$600 million.
It is also very popular in Japan.
If you can get the authorization to develop a panda Po doll, you will definitely make a fortune.
"Mr. Xu, Bandai is definitely the most professional partner when it comes to toy development." Masaya Nakamura said quickly.
"I'm looking forward to this very much."
After making two requests, Xu Liang said no more.
Although he is the major shareholder, he is not the controlling shareholder.
Just give your opinion. If you interfere too much, others may not give you face.
Just maintain the superficial harmony, there will be plenty of time in the future.
After having lunch together at noon, Xu Liang left.
"Mr. Xu, Bandai is really a traditional Japanese company, and the senior management team is all old men." Li Jinling said.
“There are not even a single young person among the senior executives of the cultural and creative industries, which is incredible when you think about it. Do they really understand what young people like nowadays?”
“Do they want to continue to make acquisitions? ?"
"Not used at the moment.
Bandai may not be competitive enough in game development, but with the No. 1 publicity and distribution system in Japan that it has built over the years and the rich copyrights in its hands, life will be very smooth.
It is too expensive to acquire his equity now. "
The convoy passed through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived outside a nine-story office building in Shibuya District.
Get out of the car.
Glanced' After seeing the "Mile Co., Ltd." sign, we walked towards the front.
Nakajima Yoshiko, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came up with the company's senior executives.
After standing three steps apart, he suddenly bowed at 90 degrees.
The tone was extremely respectful.
“President, welcome to Meile.”
Others also bowed and saluted.
"President Nakajima, you're welcome."
Nakajima Yoshiko stood up and half turned around.
"President, please."
Xu Liang was not polite and strode towards the office building.
After entering, Xu Liang looked at it subconsciously.
This was his first time coming since Miller Co., Ltd. was established.
From the decoration point of view, it is no different from other entertainment companies.
On the left side of the hall are stills from the company's movies and TV series, and on the right side are large photos of the company's artists.
The most eye-catching one is Masami Nagasawa.
The establishment of Meile Co., Ltd. is actually similar in nature to Jiahua Entertainment led by Fan Xiaopang.
All have inherited part of Hongmeng Entertainment’s business.
Fan Xiaopang inherited China Hongmeng Entertainment, while Meile inherited the Japanese business.
However, Meile's scale is far less than that of Jiahua.
Up to now, there are only five major businesses: animation, music, film, television and artist management.
Music started out as a cover song. As the earliest company of Hongmeng Entertainment in Japan, after years of training and exploration, although it is not as good as giants such as Sony and Ai Hui, it is still considered a relatively large medium-sized entertainment company.
Animation mainly involves jointly developing popular online comics with Hongmeng Animation.
Movies and TV, the former is mainly low-cost, and the latter is mainly idol dramas.
The main focus is safety.
As for artist management, we mainly cooperate with Ai Hui and SM South Korea to discover girl groups and female artists.
In general, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
In fact, Xu Liang has no interest in this small entertainment company with a revenue of less than 300 million Chinese dollars.
The reason why this company was born was mainly to satisfy one's own selfish desires.
"Nakajima, where is the person you are talking about?"
"Wait a moment, he will be here in a moment."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Yoshiko Nakajima quickly opened the door and walked in with two beautiful young girls.
The one in front is wearing a pink knitted sweater, a pair of blue tight jeans, and white travel shoes. She has a fresh temperament, just like the girl next door.
Visually estimated that her height is over 170cm. In Japan, a country that likes short people, women of this height are not popular and are often called the 'Tokyo Tower'.
If the one in the front is the girl next door, then the one in the back is the goddess of pure desire.
A delicate oval face as big as a palm, and long, slightly wavy hair.
Black lace long-sleeved T-shirt, brown striped hip skirt, black stockings, and Gucci pointed-toe high heels.
Standing there, Xu Liang thought of the younger version of Fan Xiaopang.
Visually measuring the height of 165cm also made Xu Liang very satisfied.
Although there are girls under 160 who are very beautiful and have good body proportions.
But he still prefers long legs.
Yoshiko Nakajima’s choice fits his aesthetic perfectly.
Looking at the satisfied smile on the big boss’s face, Nakajima Yoshiko felt reassured.
Attentively, he pulled the two shy girls over.
"Mr. Xu, this is Yui Shinkai, and this is Nozomi Sasaki. They are both potential stars newly discovered by the company. ...Why don't you give a gift to Mr. Xu quickly?"
Two girls who had just turned 18 hurriedly bent down to say hello.
Xu Liang nodded with a smile and waved.
Nakajima Yoshiko understood instantly and let the two women go down.
"President, I have carefully selected them for you. This is their physical examination report."
Put the information in front of Xu Liang.
"Don't worry, there is absolutely no family history, and the body is still that of a girl."
After flipping through the information, Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction.
After serving him for a few days, Nagasawa Masami went to make a movie.
Although she would rather stay.
But Xu Liang didn’t want to delay the company’s making money.
If you delay for one day, the crew will spend an extra day of money.
Although it is just a drop in the bucket in his eyes, why waste it when you can save it.
So, he came to Merlot specifically today to see the fresh prey that Yoshiko Nakajima chose for him.
Yes, it is indeed very appetizing.
"Tomorrow I will inject 5 billion yen [300 million Chinese dollars] into the company's account. In addition, your bonus will be doubled by the end of this year." Nakajima Yoshiko was overjoyed.
"Thank you, President. Thank you, President. Don't worry, I will definitely choose more suitable girls for you in the future."
"President Nakajima should choose high-quality girls with the potential to become famous for the company. Don’t make a mistake.”
“Yes, you see, I tend to say the wrong things when I’m excited.”
Xu Liang stood up, “Okay, it’s time to read. After reading it, I will leave first. President Nakajima, I will leave Mei Le to you.”
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of Mei Le.”
After smiling and nodding, Xu Liang turned around and walked outside.
Now he understands more and more why some bosses like to invest in entertainment companies, and later like to be an MSN organization.
You can not only do beauty pageants, but you can also make money.
Kill two birds with one stone.
“Forget it tonight, send them over tomorrow night.”
"Hi."
Back home, Fukuda Xinmei had already changed her clothes.
White lace jacket, black skirt, black stockings paired with Chanel's black strappy high-heeled sandals.
The quiet and soft facial features are matched with the hair standing up on the back of the head and the Swarovski diamond earrings, giving her a graceful and luxurious temperament.
In general, although Futian Xinmei’s family background is not as good as Jiang Xiaoyang and Helen Montes, it is still on the same level.
Her temperament is indeed different from that of ordinary girls.
Step forward and tuck a strand of black hair from her temples behind her ear.
"You are very beautiful today."
Futian Xinmei smiled sweetly.
“Where’s Vincent?”
"He's been sent to his mother's place. It's not convenient for us to take him."
Xu Liang looked at the time.
"Let's go."
"Yeah."
It's not far from here to Sun's house, less than ten minutes' drive.
Xu Liang, who has been here several times, can be said to be familiar with the road.
After entering the door, they saw Son Zhengyi and his wife standing in front of the door to greet them.
"Mr. Sun, it's been a long time."
Holding the generous palm stretched out in front of him, Sun Zhengyi could feel the powerful power in it and couldn't help but sigh.
Familiar strangers.
This sentence can be used to describe Xu Liang in front of him.
I have obviously met him many times, and I have many friends who cooperate with me.
But in just one or two years, not only did the other party's net worth grow explosively, he also climbed onto the Forbes list of the world's richest people, taking second place.
It even defeated global financial giants like Soros and climbed to the top by stepping on his opponent's corpse.
What is even more incredible is that he was able to mobilize the British royal family to serve him.
The energy is so strong that it makes people sit up and take notice.
“We haven’t seen each other for a year. Mr. Xu’s achievements are admirable.”
“Haha, Mr. Sun’s award is just a push-pull.”
“What a push-pull. , If I had the opportunity to follow the trend of Mr. Xu, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams.”
After a brief chat, Sun Zhengyi welcomed the couple into the room.
Both sides sit down.
The servant brought the tea.
“I know you like to drink Dahongpao. I specially collected the Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain in China to try it.”
Xu Liang picked it up, sniffed it gently and then took a sip.
“It is indeed good tea. Mr. Sun is very considerate. Thank you very much.”
"Haha, although we don't see each other very often, we have been friends for many years from 2001 to now, so we don't have to be polite."
"Then I'm being presumptuous."
"This is home. You can have as much fun as you want during the banquet," Son Zhengyi said with a smile.
After tea for three rounds, Mrs. Sun took Futian Xinmei aside to whisper some whispers about the children.
Sun Zhengyi glanced at Xu Liang's expression.
"I heard that you plan to acquire the Seibu Group?"
"I am indeed interested in Seibu, but I am only interested in Muji and Yoshinoya.
The rumors outside now are just In order to attract more bidders, Ruihui Financial Group just sold out the mess of Seibu at a high price.”
As Japan’s top investment tycoon, Son’s news channels undoubtedly cover the whole country.
“But I heard that the Fukuda family member has already promised to solve the problems of Seibu Group, win the support of Seibu employees and their families, and increase the chips for next year’s general election.”
"What does it have to do with me?" Xu Liang said calmly.
“He is a sweet-hearted uncle.”
“He is indeed a sweet-hearted uncle, but that doesn’t mean that I have to spend tens of billions of dollars in cash to pay for this little bit of family affection. Hole."
"Unless you are a madman, I am afraid no one will force you to spend so much money. The most I can do is promise you some preferential conditions and adjust the financial structure of Seibu Group through debt restructuring. >At the same time, I hope that your excellent management and investment capabilities will help Seibu Group come back to life. ”
"Then it depends on whether they can come up with conditions that satisfy me."
Xu Liang said with a smile.
The communication is deep and simple.
What's more, his relationship with Son Zhengyi is not that deep, so he will not reveal his true thoughts.
Looking at him, Son poured him a cup of tea.
Xu Liang picked it up and took a sip.
"Why are you so interested in this matter? Do you also want the assets of Seibu Group?"
Son Zhengyi smiled and shook his head.
“The whole of Japan has not yet emerged from the real estate bubble of 1992, and mid- to high-end consumption is sluggish. The amusement parks and hotels under the Seibu Group are okay, and relatively high-end sports such as skiing and golf are It is a test of operational capabilities.
And SoftBank prefers high technology and the Internet, not real estate and leisure.”
"I thought Mr. Sun was also interested in Seibu Group, and I was afraid that I would block your way."
"Haha, Mr. Xu, don't worry, I'm not interested in Seibu, and I'm not asking for anyone. I invite you here this time. Apart from having a casual meal and chatting after I haven’t seen you for a long time, I have only one official business.”
“Oh?”
Xu Liang gave me a Please speak up' look.
“I believe you have also seen Alibaba’s financial report for the second quarter of this year, which exceeded 690 million Huaxia coins. According to the current development trend, it will definitely exceed 1.5 billion Huaxia coins this year.
I chatted with Jack Ma, and he told me that Alibaba can achieve 2.4 billion next year.
So I think it’s time to discuss the listing issue.
Mr. Xu, you are the largest shareholder of Alibaba, so I would like to ask for your opinion. ”
Sun Zhengyi has invested in Alibaba for six years and is eager to go public and realize cash.
