Chapter 935 Short-sighted people

  Last night, Masao Mitsui and his team didn't close their eyes almost all night.

  They repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally communicated urgently with several domestic banks before deciding on the final plan: to retain a portion of the shares.

   This is the best plan that Masao Mitsui can think of. Although the Mitsui consortium has to bear huge debts for this, it still retains hope.

  After research, Masao Mitsui felt that Liu Qingshan seemed to have outstanding talent in running a film company.

   Small Hurricane Film and Video companies are about to go bankrupt. In just over three years, Liu Qingshan has become a middle-to-high-end film and television company worth hundreds of millions.

  Every movie I shoot is a big hit.

   It is conceivable that if he joined Columbia Company, wouldn't he be able to flex his muscles and lead the company to take off.

  If that's the case, the Mitsui Foundation might be able to get a blessing in disguise.

  Even if you pay about one billion in cash now, based on Masao Mitsui's intuition, it probably won't take ten years to get back the money.

  The rest of the time is earned.

  Although there will be various difficulties in the short term, the future is promising, so Masao Mitsui decided to take a gamble.

  He doesn't believe it anymore, Liu Qingshan took over a large company worth billions of dollars, can he deliberately play it as a waste?

   After hearing Masao Mitsui's plan, Liu Qingshan couldn't help blinking: It really wasn't that easy.

  He immediately judged the other party's intentions. It was clear that he wanted to make a long-term investment, using Liu Qingshan as a long-term meal ticket.

  In this way, Mitsui will become the second shareholder of Columbia Pictures.

   There is such a guy who follows the dividends, isn't that disgusting, Liu Qingshan can't accept it no matter what, so he chuckled lightly:

   "Mr. Mitsui, it seems that in the contract, there is no such way of cashing out, right?"

  Masao Mitsui nodded solemnly: "However, there is no indication that this method is not allowed to honor the bet."

   No matter how tight the contract is, there are loopholes. What Masao Mitsui did is not a real breach of contract, but a suspicion of cheating.

   This is also a good idea that he came up with after studying the contract for half a night yesterday.

   Seeing that Liu Qingshan had started to frown slightly, Masao Mitsui suddenly became a little happier in his heart.

  In the confrontation with Liu Qingshan, he felt that he had finally won the initiative. Although it was only a little bit, it was also a kind of progress, wasn't it?

   "Mr. Mitsui, I deeply regret what you have done." Huang Yueming was also present, and she was a little angry.

  Masao Mitsui continued to put on a posture of sitting upright: "Miss Huang, this just shows our company's cooperative attitude, as well as respect and trust for Liu Jun."

  Huang Yueming really wanted to swear "shameless", but in front of so many people, he really couldn't swear.

  Chen Dongfang also frowned, and said, "Mr. Mitsui, we cannot accept your proposal."

  Of course, Chen Dongfang was well aware of the Mitsui consortium's plan, so he rejected it very simply.

  Masao Mitsui seems to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai these days. He spread his hands lightly: "Our side has shown great sincerity."

   After speaking, he turned to the notary team sitting in the middle: "You can ask a notary to make a decision."

  The notary is the most famous team of lawyers on Hong Kong Island. After carefully studying the contract signed by both parties, they have no claim.

  Obviously, Japan is taking advantage of loopholes, but it is impossible to refute.

  The lawyer representative could only stand up and say, "I'm sorry, but we can't define it either."

  The people of Mitsui Co., Ltd., on the contrary, looked like winners, with triumphant smiles on their faces.

   Mitsuki couldn't help but mocked: "One billion US dollars and 51% of the shares are enough to represent our sincerity. If you can't accept it, then we don't mind solving it through legal channels."

  At this time, they are not afraid of going to court.

  Even if the case is brought to court, the Mitsui Foundation will not be greatly affected.

  Chen Dongfang and the others were really itching with hatred: This little devil is like a toad jumping up and down on his feet.

  Seeing this, Mitsuiki suppressed the anger and aggrieved for many days, and finally found a way to release:

   "Haha, if it were me, I would be very happy to accept this gift, a billion dollars, the vast majority of people will not be able to earn this wealth even if they spend their entire lives."

  Suddenly, Liu Qingshan's cold voice came over: "Mitsui-san, from the appearance of your Excellency, it seems that you are not giving out a billion dollars, but getting a billion dollars."

  The smile froze on Mitsui's face immediately, and he glared at Liu Qingshan bitterly: "Qingshan-san, let me give you a word, don't be greedy."

  Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "If Mr. Mitsui hadn't been greedy for my earth network, how could we be here today?"

   Mitsui's face turned red in an instant. These words were too embarrassing. Although the final decision was made by the board of directors, the source was still with him.

  Masao Mitsui is still experienced, knowing that his son is not Liu Qingshan's opponent at all, so he quickly took over:

   "Liu Jun, we don't have to fight with each other. We will still be partners in the future. Peace is the most important thing."

   "Who is your partner?" Chen Dongfang said angrily.

  Masao Mitsui didn't care much: "If we exchange positions, I will definitely agree."

   When the father and son joined the battle, Mitsuki also gave his father a voice: "It's okay to get all the shares of Columbia Corporation, as long as you give us one billion US dollars, then all the shares in our hands will belong to you."

   I have never seen such a shameless person!

  The people on Liu Qingshan's side all became very ugly, and everyone was really angry.

   And Mitsuki was even more proud: "Don't say one billion dollars, five hundred million dollars, as long as five hundred million dollars, no, even if it's only two hundred million dollars, are you willing, do you have the courage, hahaha..."

  In the conference hall, only this guy's wild laughter echoed.

   "Mitsui-kun, can you count on what you say?"

  Liu Qingshan's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Mitsuiki's wild laughter.

  "The people of the Mitsui family must do what they say." Masao Mitsui also stood up for his son. He didn't believe that Liu Qingshan would be willing to pay 200 million US dollars for nothing.

  And Liu Qingshan stood up resolutely: "Okay, it's a deal, I will pay the 200 million US dollars!"

   There was an uproar in the conference hall, and even the reporters felt incredible.

  But they looked at Liu Qingshan's appearance, it didn't look like a joke at all.

  Of course Liu Qingshan was not joking, he calculated very clearly in his mind:

   Putting aside the matter of betting, it only cost a total of 200 million U.S. dollars to acquire the vast majority of shares in Columbia Corporation. Isn’t that cabbage price?

  If the other party is really entangled, it is normal for the lawsuit to drag on for three to five years.

   At that time, he can produce a few more good movies, which can double the assets of Columbia Pictures.

   Masao Mitsui also reacted quickly: He should have opened his mouth wide just now!

  Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he really had no face to go back on his word, so he could only give Mitsuiki a hard look: something that is more than a failure than a success.

   Mitsuki was not convinced: at least getting back 200 million would relieve the company's tight financial situation.

   Being greedy for small things and losing big things is talking about short-sighted people like him.

  Liu Qingshan also cut through the mess quickly, and reached an agreement with Masao Mitsui on the spot.

  The remaining thing is to immediately call the second sister from the United States, form a team, and take over the Columbia company.

   After the equity delivery is completed, immediately pay the promised 200 million US dollars, and the two parties will be completely settled.

  After the agreement was signed, the reporters couldn’t hold back for a long time, and came forward to interview one after another. Some surrounded Liu Qingshan, but more people surrounded the representative of the Mitsui Consortium:

   "Chairman Mitsui, what's the matter with the two billion dollars? Do you feel like you've been dismissed?"

   This is a reporter from Hong Kong Island, of course he is on the side of Liu Qingshan.

   "Mr. Mitsuki, right? Can I ask you a question, do you still have the courage to bet with Mr. Mountain in the future?"

   This is a reporter from the United States. The question is rather tricky, and Mitsuki's nostrils are almost bursting into flames: Baga, I will jump into the well if I bet again!

   Mitsui and his son were indiscriminately bombarded by the reporters, and they were a bit battered. Although they got back 200 million US dollars, they lost all their face.

  The reporters on Liu Qingshan’s side had mostly normal questions.

  A foreign reporter asked on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Mountain, why do you have to pay an additional 200 million U.S. dollars to Mitsui, which is obviously outside the contract between the two parties."

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "This money, let's count it as my purchase of Columbia Pictures."

  The reporter suddenly realized that, that’s right, the headline of tomorrow’s newspaper will be there: The sky is so cheap, 200 million goes to Columbia Corporation.

   Then Liu Qingshan's faint voice came over again: "It's only 200 million, not enough for me to earn from one movie."

  The American reporter blinked his eyes twice, as if he wanted to refute, but thinking about the movies Liu Qingshan has produced in recent years, it seems that he is not talking big.

  Whether it’s Home Alone or The Matrix, they seem to have this qualification.

  But these words were extremely unpleasant to Mitsuiki's ears, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly:

   "Huh, don't think that you are complacent because of your achievements. Maybe your next movie will fail miserably at the box office."

  Liu Qingshan was not angry at all: "Mr. Mitsui, if you don't believe me, let's make another bet?"

  One word, Mitsui Ki's face turned purple, he flicked his arms, and left the conference hall directly.

   Bet you, go dreaming.

  Behind him, the reporters laughed happily, as if there was a new title: Who is the person who can help others quit gambling completely?

   Masao Mitsui also led someone to leave. What Liu Qingshan said just now made him feel very heartbroken.

  The 200 million I got seems to suddenly become unsavory, and I feel as if I have lost several billion.

  The reporters also left one after another. Of course, before leaving, the employees of Longteng Company must secretly give the reporters some money.

   When there were only his own people left in the living room, Huang Yueming applauded first.

   Immediately there was applause and cheers. It is indeed worth celebrating to get Columbia Pictures at such a small price.

   This is the first time for a domestic entrepreneur to win a well-known film company in the United States.

   It is still Liu Qingshan who pioneered. He now has several auras: the first Internet portal website listed in the United States.

   Also bought the WANG computer, making Liu Qingshan the first Chinese entrepreneur to own a well-known company in the United States.

  All kinds of titles are added to this young man, and people look forward to it even more. They expect that Liu Qingshan will definitely create more miracles in the future.

   Just as everyone was cheering and celebrating, a group of people came in outside the conference room, headed by Boss Huo, who was seen clasping his hands in a quack manner:

   "Brother Qingshan, congratulations, brother, I really admire you!"

  Boss Huo and the others have already arrived and have been waiting in another room. This is not a compliment at all. Even these tycoons on Hong Kong Island are mostly playing on their own territory on Hong Kong Island.

  They don't have the guts or the ability to climb to a higher stage.

  Pan Mingpai also looked envious: "That's Columbia Pictures, brother, I will rely on you from now on."

  In these years, Pan Mingpai started his own business and worked hard to create a huge family business, so he thinks highly of himself.

  But the person who really convinced him, Liu Qingshan ranked first.

  Pan Mingpai now also has its own film and television company, and has also made stars like Xingzi popular.

  But there is no comparison with Columbia Pictures, which can enter the top five in the world.

  Liu Qingshan's joy was also palpable: "Brothers, don't kill your little brother, okay? Tonight I will set the scene, and everyone will be happy together."

   Boss Huo waved his hand: "When I get to my brother's territory, why do I still need you? When I go to the United States, to your company, don't forget to introduce me to a Hollywood female star."

  This guy, what he said just now was good, but in a blink of an eye his true colors are revealed.

  The other young and old naturally followed suit, and then surrounded Liu Qingshan together and went out to have a carnival.

  Liu Qingshan also completely let go of his worries, and led Wu Tong to relax for a while.

  In the past few days, his mind has been in a state of high tension.

  When the dance was coming to an end, Boss Huo also handed Liu Qingshan an invitation letter.

  At first, Liu Qingshan thought it belonged to some tycoon in Hong Kong Island, and was about to refuse, but when he saw the name on it, it read: The First Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference.

  The venue is in the Lion City of Nanyang.

   "Brother Qingshan, you are all from my father's generation who can participate in this conference. There is only one who is as young as you."

   Boss Huo's tone was a bit sour, because even he hadn't received a formal invitation, so he could only attend as his father's attendant.

  Liu Qingshan reached out and patted Boss Huo on the shoulder: "Haha, keep working hard."

   Boss Huo's teeth were itchy with hatred: "No, you have to introduce me to two Hollywood female stars."

   At this time, a gentle voice came over: "What are you talking about, so happy?"

   Turning around, it turned out that it was Boss Huo's new girlfriend looking at him with a smile.

  Boss Huo immediately became serious: "We're talking about Hollywood actresses. Brother Qingshan has taken over Columbia Pictures. I'll vaccinate him first, so don't get caught up in those actresses."
