Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Iwasakimine Ryuren was in Xiangjiang, and Lin Baicheng contacted him through an international phone call and communicated with him about the joint acquisition of four cinemas owned by the Miki family by Star Cinema and Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd.

After hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu directly stated that Lin Baicheng had the sole discretion to make the decision. The investment here was only a financial investment and he would not interfere in the company's operation and management.

In any case, Lin Baicheng consulted Iwasaki Mineryu, the major shareholder, for his opinion and received a clear reply.

Then, Lin Baicheng went to Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. and found Yamaguchi Momoe.

Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe talked about the acquisition of movie theaters, the establishment of theater chains, and the help of theater chains to Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd.'s film industry.

"Cheng-kun, since you think acquiring a movie theater is beneficial to the company, then go ahead and acquire it."

Yamaguchi Momoe had full trust in Lin Baicheng. What's more, although she didn't understand business operations, she was in the entertainment industry, so how could she not know that a theater chain could help the release of movies. If you have a theater chain, then the movies your company wants to release can be arranged to be released in the theater chain, and the best schedules will be arranged and more screens will be provided.

Lin Baicheng said: "I will let Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. take control of the acquisition of movie theaters and the control of theater chains. Therefore, this acquisition will be funded by Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. 51% and Star Cinema 49%. One theater chain cannot There are only four cinemas, so whether we continue to acquire cinemas or build new ones ourselves, we will have to invest more money, and the relevant investment will be based on the investment ratio."

"Cheng-kun, I will listen to you."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded. She had no opinion on this kind of business-level operation, but she knew that it would not be wrong to listen to Lin Baicheng.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng asked: "Huizi, do you know how much money is currently in the company's account?"

"I know this. There are currently a little more than 300 million yen left in the company's account. The reason why there is not much money left is mainly because the company has invested in a movie and a TV series, which are still being filmed."

As the company's chairman, Yamaguchi Momoe doesn't even know how much money is in the company's account. What's more, the investment projects are led by her. She knows how much money has been invested in the two projects and how much money is left in the company. If she doesn't even know this, then she is too unqualified as a chairman and producer.

"This little money is not enough."

Lin Baicheng calculated and said: "Although the Miki family's four cinemas can be acquired with only 400 million yen, and Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. only needs to invest 51%, the subsequent development of the cinema chain also requires funds, and more than 4 Billion yen, at least another 1 billion yen is required, which is relatively small, but even then Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. will have to inject 510 million, which adds up to at least 700 million yen."

After hearing this, Yamaguchi Momoe said: "Makoto-kun, do you want to get a loan from the bank? The company does not have any liabilities now, and I believe the bank is willing to lend."

“You don’t have to take a loan from a bank.”

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "I happen to be planning to give Shengzi some shares, so let's do these two things together. We will evaluate Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., I will provide financing, and then transfer part of the shares to Shengzi."

"Then you should talk to Iwasaki-san about this."

Yamaguchi Momoe said, after all, Iwasaki Mineryu is also the company’s major shareholder.

"I must talk to him. I will communicate with him about this matter."

Lin Baicheng nodded. This financing will dilute Iwasaki Mineryu's shares, so he must communicate with Iwasaki Mineryu.

"Keiko, I will find professionals to evaluate the market value of Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd. Please remember to talk to President Ida and ask him to cooperate."

"Okay Makoto-kun."

Yamaguchi Momoe responded to express her understanding, and then said: "Makoto-kun, the theater chain jointly established by the company and Star Cinema, the leadership is with the company, so who will be more suitable to send to manage the theater chain at that time?"

Lin Baicheng asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Makoto-kun, I don't understand much about this, so I'm asking you." Yamaguchi Momoe shook her head.

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng said: "Xingchen Cinema will definitely send people to participate in the management of the theater chain, but the leading power lies with Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd. You can either find a professional for the theater chain, or choose from the company's management A capable person is sent to serve. In any case, the management of the original cinemas after the acquisition cannot be retained, or they cannot be appointed as cinema managers."

"You can discuss this matter with President Ida about who will be assigned to manage the theater chain, and it will be based on your own will. If you really choose the wrong person, that's okay. You can still replace him in the end."

Yamaguchi Momoe has just joined business management and has little experience. It is inevitable that she will make mistakes, but it is okay. The boat is small and easy to turn around, and the loss caused by choosing the wrong person will not be too great.

"I understand, Makoto-kun." Yamaguchi Momoe nodded to express her understanding.

Now that he had decided to acquire a movie theater, Lin Baicheng then contacted Miki Yaota and expressed his willingness to support Miki Yaota's capital increase plan. He was interested in the four movie theaters owned by the Miki family.

Miki Yota was very happy when he learned about it and asked Lin Baicheng to send someone to negotiate the acquisition. He would sell it to Lin Baicheng at a preferential price as a thank you.

After some polite exchanges, the two ended the call.

After that, Lin Baicheng contacted Chiba Nanako.

"Director Chiba, you send an acquisition team to Miki Cinema to acquire those four cinemas. I have already said hello to President Miki. After the acquisition price is set, you will report to me."

"Yes, Chairman, I will start building an acquisition team in a moment."

"I'm waiting for your good news."

Lin Baicheng ended the call.

Lin Baicheng thought about it and still had no contact with Iwasaki Mineryu. He planned to discuss financing matters with Iwasaki Mineryu in person after returning to Xiangjiang. He is already preparing to return to Xiangjiang, and it will only take these two days, and the financing will be completed within these two days.

In the next two days, Lin Baicheng went to visit the Japanese branches of Galaxy Games Company and Xingyue Electronic Games Company.

There are still many talents in the game industry in Japan, and some talents are unwilling to work abroad. Therefore, both game companies have branches in Japan, and the scale of the branches is not small.

Of course, the game talents here are not developing hardware, but game production.

Lin Baicheng still attaches great importance to these game talents. The main reason is that they make a lot of money for the company, which means they make money for him. He cannot attach too much importance to them.

Speaking of which, in Japan, Xingyue Electronic Game Company also has a competitor, and that is Nintendo.

Nintendo's Yamauchi Ura is very optimistic about the console industry, so he asked Nintendo to develop the console very early, and it has already been put on the market at the beginning of this year.

At the beginning, Nintendo used the slogan of supporting domestic production, but still won the support of many players, and sales were very good. Although it was not comparable to the sales of Xingyue consoles, it exceeded the sales of Atari consoles in Japan.

In the Japanese market, the sales volume of Atari consoles cannot match that of Xingyue consoles. The main reason is that the price of Atari consoles is too expensive, 20% more expensive than Xingyue consoles. This is not a small sum for players.

The reason why some people still buy Atari consoles even though they are so expensive is because some games can only be played on Atari consoles. At the same time, some people just think that American products are better than those from Hong Kong and think they are 20 more expensive. % makes sense, they are just willing to spend 20% more money to buy an Atari console.

Nintendo's console sales were very good at the beginning, but after only half a month, problems arose.

I don’t know whether Nintendo is rushing too much or there are technical problems. The Nintendo console has quality problems. The game will suddenly freeze while playing, and this happens not once or twice, but multiple times. Of course, players cannot accept this.

As a result, a large number of players returned the product, and negative reviews of Nintendo consoles began to appear in the market.

Faced with this situation, Yamauchiura decisively recycled all hosts and refunded all users. In this way, although it caused great economic losses to Nintendo for a while, it also saved Nintendo's reputation, did not make users too disgusted, and retained the hope of a comeback.

Although Nintendo has not yet overcome technical problems and Nintendo's consoles have not yet been re-launched, it will happen sooner or later. In the future, Nintendo's consoles will inevitably become a major competitor to the Star and Moon consoles.

Faced with this latecomer to catch up, what Xingyue Electronics has to do is to update the Xingyue console, and at the same time enrich the number of game content, occupy more markets, let more game manufacturers cooperate with Xingyue Electronics, and not give Nintendo consoles Chance.

Xingyue Electronics has been doing these at present, and it seems to be doing well so far.

Lin Baicheng is now not sure whether Nintendo's console can develop as well as it did before its rebirth, and whether it will have a serious impact on Xingyue Electronic Game Company. Everything is unknown. All he can do is to let Xingyue Electronic Game Company Maintain heavy investment in R\u0026D and maintain technological advantages through innovation. Whether we can maintain the market is left to the people below.

When the market share of Xingyue console is really seriously affected, it won't be too late for him to find a way to deal with it.

On the night of Friday the 13th, Lin Baicheng left Tokyo on a private plane and returned to Xiangjiang.

The morning after returning to Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng first contacted Iwasaki Mineryu by phone, and then went to his villa to find him.

The two villas are very close to each other. Even if you walk there, it is only about ten minutes away.

"Lin Jun, are you back so soon?"

Iwasaki Mineryu greeted Lin Baicheng into the house.

"I went there mainly to celebrate the birthday of the Holy Son. I didn't do much on official matters, so I came back so soon."

Lin Baicheng said, and while he was talking, the two of them walked to the sofa and sat down.

"It's still Mr. Lin's sincerity that he went to Tokyo to celebrate Miss Matsuda's birthday in person."

Of course Iwasaki Mineryu knew that the Holy Son Lin Baicheng was talking about was Seiko Matsuda. After all, it was he who introduced Seiko Matsuda to Lin Baicheng.

Smiling, Lin Baicheng said: "Iwasaki-kun, I came to you this time mainly because I have something to discuss with you."

"Mr. Lin, please speak." Iwasaki Mineryu signaled.

Lin Baicheng said: "Didn't I tell you about the joint acquisition of Sanmu Cinema by Star Cinema and Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd.? This acquisition is led by Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd. After the acquisition, we will continue to expand the scale of the cinema and develop cinema lines. , so a lot of funds are needed, and Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. currently has insufficient funds, so I want Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. to raise funds."

"Financing? No problem. Mr. Lin, tell me the number, and I will definitely keep up."

Mineryu Iwasaki said without thinking when he heard this, even if he wanted to raise 10 yen, it would only be 20 million in Hong Kong dollars, and less than 5 million in U.S. dollars. His 40% stake would only be less than 200. It's only ten thousand dollars, which is a small amount to him.

Iwasaki Mineryu doesn't care whether Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd. can make money or how it develops. Anyway, he makes more money from other places by following Lin Baicheng, so the investment here should be regarded as the cost of maintaining the friendship between the two.

"Iwasaki-kun, that's not the case."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "I plan to finance this financing entirely. The reason for this is mainly that I plan to give the financing shares to Seiko, so that Seiko will also become a shareholder of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., so Iwasaki-kun Your stake will be diluted.”

"Is that so?"

Mineryu Iwasaki understood: "Ms. Matsuda, you are really lucky to have met Mr. Lin. There is no problem with the financing. Just do what you said, Mr. Lin."

Anyway, Iwasaki Hoiryu invested in Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. for Lin Baicheng's sake. He had no extravagant expectations about how much money this company could make, nor did he expect to gain control of the company. Therefore, his shares were diluted. He was not at all interested. Don't care.

"Thank you, Iwasaki-kun."

Lin Baicheng expressed his thanks, and then said: "As for the share ratio of financing, I tentatively set it at 15%, and it will not exceed 20% at most. In other words, Iwasaki-kun, you can still hold at least 32% of the shares of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. , you are still the company’s major shareholder.”

After hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu said: "Lin Jun, if you need it, I can transfer all the shares in my hand to you, or to Miss Yamaguchi, Miss Matsuda and others."

"This is not necessary, but if there is a need in the future, I hope Iwasaki-kun can support me."

Lin Baicheng smiled, but did not refuse completely. After all, he was not sure whether he would let Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. raise funds again because of another woman in the future, and let that woman also become a shareholder of the company.

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Lin, and just ask if you need it." Iwasaki Mineryu said immediately.

"Then thank you in advance for being here."

Lin Baicheng expressed his thanks again.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Today is Saturday. Lin Baicheng said hello to his parents after returning home and left the villa.

Although he only came back last night, Lin Baicheng had already made an appointment with Lan Jieying to eat, go shopping, etc. It could be said to be a date.
