Chapter 370 Reliance on Overseas Investment (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   "Young Master Huan, is there anything for me to do?"

   Ma Jizu asked Chu Huan directly. He knew that there must be something wrong with Chu Huan leaving him alone.

  Chu Huan first preached to Xu Yi, who also stayed behind: "In addition to the newly established Political Department and Negotiation Department, Jiaku needs to add a legal department!"

  In fact, the establishment of the legal department of the company should have been done a long time ago, but Chu Huan had been cooperating with Luo Decheng Law Firm before, so he didn't care about it.

  But it’s different now, the company’s business overseas is getting bigger and bigger, and the legal issues to be dealt with in the future are no longer just Xiangjiang, so Jiaku Consulting Company should also have its own legal department.

  At the same time, the company still has many secret documents, which cannot be known to Luo Decheng.

  Xu Yi nodded and said, "I will prepare for this next."

  Chu Huan nodded. In Xiangjiang general group companies, they will choose to cooperate with Xiangjiang's law firm to handle some personal cases of the company and the company's management.

  Of course, some large consortiums must have their own legal department.

   "Find more lawyers who are good at handling international cases!" Chu Huan said to him.

  Xu Yi said: "Understood!"

  After explaining this matter to Xu Yi, Chu Huan took out another A4 paper from his drawer and handed it to Ma Jizu.

   "The above cross button, direction button, and handle specifications are the same as the previous portable music equipment, apply for a global patent!"

  Since Chu Huan has set his sights on the game industry, he naturally needs to make more preparations for this industry, and the most important preparation is to apply for patents for game handles such as cross buttons.

Looking at the market outlook, this is the most common-sense thing, but at present, because the red and white machine and the game-boy have not yet been developed, and Nintendo has not yet applied for the global patent of the cross button, this gives Chu Huan the opportunity to apply for a patent .

The emergence of the patent for the cross button almost established the status of Nintendo's red and white machines. Later, Sony's PS series replaced the red and white machines and became the leader in the game industry. The red and white machine is worse, choosing a separate arrow key is to avoid the patent of the cross button!

  What Chu Huan is doing now is to apply for patents for all the game handles that appear in later generations, and to go his own way so that others have nowhere to go.

In fact, applying for patents should be done by the company's legal department, but there is no dedicated legal department at Jiaku, so Chu Huan can only hand it over to Ma Jizu, who already has experience in this field. up.

   Ma Jizu didn't ask why, but just nodded and said: "Okay!"

   Then Ma Jizu told Chu Huan that the global patent on portable music equipment has been applied for.

  Chu Huan expressed his understanding. He happened to meet Chen Haichao tonight, and Kyushu's next blockbuster product, the Walkman, should also be on the agenda.

  Compared with home video recorders, the development of Walkmans is actually not difficult. After Sony first proposed the concept of Walkmans, it didn’t take long to develop Walkmans, mainly because of the technical foundation of home video recorders.

  So what is difficult about the Walkman is not the technology, but the concept!

  After talking about this matter, Chu Huan glanced at Xu Yi, Xu Yi understood and left Chu Huan's office, Chu Huan took out an A4 paper again and handed it to Ma Jizu.

"When you go back, remember the name on it, and then burn this piece of paper, tell you people in Japan, take the initiative to make friends with them, give them the political investment they want, and at the same time master some of their black materials, in general It's about cooperation."

   Ma Jizu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the names above. Some were high-ranking officials of the Japanese government, some were celebrities of the Japanese government's political parties, and some were names he had never heard of.

   But Chu Huan was talking about political investment, and Ma Jizu knew the identities of these people.

"If you want to do business overseas, you can't understand politics. If you want to expand your business, you can't do it if you have nothing to do with political figures. These people are all potential people I found during my stay in Japan. Great benefit for us!"

  Chu Huan seriously preached to Ma Jizu.

In the list, there are three very important names, one is Masahiro Ohira, the other is Yoshiyuki Suzuki, and the other is Yasuhiro Nakasone. Of course, there are also some young people’s names in the list. These people are the long-term future of Chu Huan’s investment .

   Ma Jizu was shocked, he understood what Chu Huan meant.

In fact, not only Japan, but Chu Huan in Europe and the United States will also have such a choice in the future. In this regard, Chu Huan has an advantage that ordinary people do not have, because he clearly knows who will stand at the top of their own country's strength, and can avoid A series of vicious consequences caused by the failure of political investment.

  Of course, Chu Huan also understands that the most untrustworthy people in this world are these political figures, so it is not enough to just befriend and master black materials, the most important thing is to have enough influence.

   Only in this way can you better play in this world!

   Ma Jizu carefully put away the paper. He will definitely not be able to remember these names in a short time. He needs to go back and memorize them in his bones, so now is not the time to destroy this paper.

   "Chairman, don't worry, no one will see this piece of paper except me."

Chu Huan nodded reassuringly, and then said: "The investigation department of this matter has set up an independent department, which is directly responsible to you. Except for me, no one is allowed to know what's going on here. In addition, the company will give this department every year. Pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars as operating capital, and if there are additional expenses, you can also report to me directly!"

   Ma Jizu nodded seriously: "Understood!"

  Chu Huan sat back in his seat and said, "Okay, go get busy!"

"Ok!"

   Not long after Ma Jizu left Chu Huan's office, Xu Yi walked in again, indicating that Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu had arrived.

  Chu Huan cheered up again, and said with a smile: "Please come in!"

   Soon, Xu Yi brought Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu to Chu Huan's office.

   "Lion, Uncle Six, I'm sorry, there are a lot of things in the company, so I can only invite the two of you to the company!"

  Chu Huan invited the two to the sofa with a smile on his face.

   "Ah Huan, we are all old acquaintances, so let's get straight to the point. Why are you interested in our wireless?"

  After sitting down, Li Xiaohe directly explained to Chu Huan the purpose of his visit without being bureaucratic.

Yifu Shao also had a dignified look on the side. Although Yifu Shao's main energy is still on Shaw Brothers, Yifu Shao has also seen the huge influence brought by the TV industry. Now he is the general manager of wireless, with a high position and authority, but if If wireless is acquired by Chu Huan, then his influence in wireless will definitely be weakened.

   This is not what Shao Yifu wants to see.

  Chu Huan calmly said: "There is no way. Wireless is now the largest TV station in Hong Kong. Since black and white video wants to enter the TV field, I naturally hope to acquire the best one."

  Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu were speechless for a while, cooperating with him to make wireless the biggest turned out to be the reason why Chu Huan missed wireless.

   Regarding this reason, the two of them didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

   "So, A Huan, you are bound to win TVB?"

  Li Xiaohe couldn't help asking.

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "Black and White Video wants to develop into a media group, and the acquisition of wireless is the most important part of it!"

  Chu Huan did not hide from Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu the development of black and white images into a media group. This kind of thing is not something shameful, so naturally there is no need to feel embarrassed.

   When Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu heard that Chu Huan wanted to turn black and white images into a media group, they were also taken aback by Chu Huan's idea.

  Because there is no real media group in Xiangjiang at this time!

  But it is precisely because of this that Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu understand one thing, that is, Chu Huan is really serious about acquiring TVB this time.

   "So, we didn't discuss this time?" Li Xiaohe was already thinking about how to fight this battle with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's true."

   "Then I can only see the real chapter under my hand!" After receiving Chu Huan's affirmative answer, Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu got up and prepared to leave.

  The two of them have been in the Xiangjiang business world for many years. Although Chu Huan's influence and wealth are increasing day by day, the two of them did not really lose to Chu Huan just because of this!

   "Both, wait a moment, I still have some things I want to discuss with you."

  Chu Huan called out to stop the two of them.

  Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu looked at Chu Huan together, not knowing what else Chu Huan wanted to say.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Although Black and White Video must acquire TVB, I don't want to fight with you two. Acquiring TVB is the first step for Black and White Video to become a media group. The management of TVB, Black and White Image is willing to work together with the two to develop TVB."

   This matter was Chu Huan's long-standing friendship, Li Xiaohe was not counted, but Shao Yifu did play a vital role in the development of TVB.

   If possible, Chu Huan hopes that Shao Yifu can continue to control the development of TVB in the future. Of course, this is the same as Li & Fung.

  Chu Huan must have an absolute controlling shareholder of TVB. Only in this way can TVB cooperate with its own business plan in the process of development.

   To put it simply, Yifu Shao will be a professional manager holding wireless shares in the future!

   Sure enough, when they heard that Chu Huan was willing to manage TVB with them, the expressions on the faces of Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu finally softened a little.

   But it is impossible to get them to agree with Chu Huan's acquisition of TVB if this is the case.

   "If A Huan is optimistic about the development of TVB, you can buy a part of TVB's shares, but now you have bought so many shares directly from HSBC, so we will have no way to cooperate in the future."

  Li Xiao and serene preaching.

   Li Xiaohe actually has no objection to Chu Huan's stake in Wireless. After all, according to Chu Huan's current influence in Xiangjiang, having him join Wireless is also a good publicity for Wireless.

   What's more, Chu Huan still has the black and white video of the No. 1 company in the Xiangjiang film industry in his hands.

   But what Chu Huan wants now is to become the major shareholder of Wireless, and compete with him for the control of Wireless. This is not acceptable to Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu.

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Wireless must be controlled by black and white images. There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"

  Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu are both veterans in the Xiangjiang business circle. Now seeing Chu Huan being so aggressive, they are naturally unhappy.

  So I got up again and wanted to leave.

  Chu Huan had no choice but to resort to the second trump card.

"According to the current market valuation of Wireless, it should be around 100 million Hong Kong dollars. HSBC notified the two of you that I personally want to acquire Wireless. HSBC plans to hold 100 million Hong Kong dollars in wireless shares, and at the same time has bought TVB shares from Nanhai Textile, Mr. Yu Jingwei's TVB shares, and Times Life International's TVB shares.

  If the two want to compete, they must prepare more funds than 100 million cash, but do you think this is in line with the value of wireless? "

  What is the killer feature?

   It is the trump card that makes the other party helpless!

  Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu must be rich!

   Naturally, they are rich, especially Li Xiaohe. His family used to be as famous as He Dong, and owned a large area of ​​land in Xiangjiang, especially in the Causeway Bay area. The Li family was known as the land king of Causeway Bay in the early years!

   Not to mention Yifu Shao, after so many years of making movies, the Shao Yifu family has accumulated a lot of wealth. Just look at the number of Shaw theaters in Southeast Asia.

   It is definitely not difficult for the two of them to come up with 100 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, but as Chu Huan said, is it worth it?

  Li Xiaohe is 66 years old this year. In the past two years, he often feels powerless. He doesn't know how many years his body can last.

At this time, Yifu Shao's more thoughts are actually on Shaw Brothers movies, not TVB. Shaw Yifu took charge of TVB because Li Xiaohe died suddenly of a heart attack at the time, and Shaw Brothers Films was acquired by Golden Harvest, New Arts, etc. After repeated blows in the city, he set his sights on the TV industry.

   But not yet.

  So when Chu Huan put on the stance that he must win TVB, Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu both hesitated.

   Seeing the two hesitate, Chu Huan knew that his psychological warfare had worked.

  So he continued to persuade the two of them. First, he talked about the current competition between the two of them.

   Later, Chu Huan expressed his thoughts that he did not fully intervene in the management of TVB, and would fully consider some of the opinions of the two of them on TVB.

  The three of them talked until after 7 o'clock in the evening. In the end, Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu had no choice but to agree that Chu Huan would become the major shareholder of Wireless.

  The main reason is that there is no way to disagree with them.

   "Lion, Sixth Uncle, we will be partners in the future, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!" Chu Huan personally sent Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu out of Jiahu Building.

  Li Xiaohe gave a wry smile and said, "A Huan, I hope you can keep your promise!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "You two will know the current development of Li & Fung!"

  Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu looked at each other, said nothing, got into their own car, and left Jiahu Building.

"Boss, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. TVB's resources, whether it is black and white video or Shaw Brothers, are very much needed. If there is competition between the two companies in this area in the future, TVB will definitely give priority to Shaw Brothers. .”

  After the two left, Xu Yi suggested to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan acquired Li & Fung and became a major shareholder of Li & Fung, but he did not participate in Li & Fung's management, because in Li & Fung's shareholding structure, no company could pose a threat to Jiahu Textile and Kyushu.

But TVB is different. TVB has Shaw Brothers in its shareholding structure. Shaw Brothers and Black and White Video are both in the film business. Although Black and White Video holds more shares in TVB, after several years of operation, the entire TVB is full of Li Xiaohe People with Shao Yifu.

  If they join forces, even if Black and White Video is the largest shareholder of TVB, they probably won't have much say in the company.

   This is actually one of the reasons why Chu Huan wants to keep Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu. The complexity of this company is far beyond that of a real estate company.

  Li Xiaohe is the major shareholder and chairman of the company, and many of the management are from Li Xiaohe. Although Shao Yifu has not formally exercised his rights in TVB.

  But most of the people in the TVB film and television drama production department have inextricably linked opportunities with Shaw Brothers.

   This is also the reason why Shao Yifu was able to take over TVB smoothly after Li Xiaohe passed away.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "It depends on whether the two people you and Fang Jianhui sent to TVB have the ability to establish their own faction inside TVB!"

  TVB's Gongdou drama is better than any Gongdou drama and commercial war drama that TVB has filmed.

Chu Huan understood that if he wanted to truly control TVB, he had to wait until Li Xiaohe passed away. After Li Xiaohe passed away, the descendants of the Li family actually thought about competing with Shao Yifu for the control of TVB, but the Li family descendants were in front of Shao Yifu. Not enough to watch.

  In addition, they messed around inside TVB, making TVB a mess and unpopular. This is a divine assist for Yifu Shao.

  After Black and White Video becomes the major shareholder of TVB, they will definitely send people into the management of TVB. Although the situation will be troublesome at the beginning, Chu Huan believes that his people can gain a firm foothold in TVB.

   If it doesn't work, then it can only be another group of people!

   After exhorting Xu Yi a few words, Chu Huan left Jiahu Building by car and returned to his villa in Repulse Bay.

  Chen Haichao was already waiting for Chu Huan here.

Not only Chen Haichao was there, Junping Yokoi after the arrangement, Shigeru Miyamoto's Bao Tianming also came, Liu Pingkui who had just finished filming a movie and was giving himself a vacation, and Zhu Xiaozhao who had almost completed the expansion of Yunhai Chain in Xiangjiang was also there .

   The hostess Cao Yunshang is not here.

   "Where is Yunshang?"

   After Zhu Xiaozhao helped Chu Huan take off his coat, he preached to Chu Huan.

   "Just now there was a call from Jinmen Construction, and there were some problems at the construction site on Mount Jialie Road. Sister Yunshang hurried over there!"

  Chu Huan's manor on Mount Kellie Road on the top of the mountain has now started construction, and it has been handed over to Golden Gate Construction, the largest construction company in Xiangjiang.

   "It's not too much trouble to do this kind of thing in the past!"

  Chu Huan preached indifferently.

  Liu Pingkui turned over the grilled chicken wings in his hand, and said with a smile: "Where is my sister-in-law's new house in the future, she must be very caring!"

  Chu Huan glanced at Liu Pingkui, and said: "You are really worthy of your reputation as a fast shooter in the film industry. Before I went to Japan, your movie hadn't started shooting yet. When I came back, you had already finished shooting it!"

  Liu Pingkui said indifferently: "It's fine if you can make money, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, anyway, after decades, no one will watch the current movies."

  The current Liu Pingkui is Fatty Wang who appeared in advance properly. In Liu Pingkui's mind, making movies is a business. It has nothing to do with art, and the most important thing is being able to make money.

  Chu Huan said to Liu Pingkui: "Now Tianming has his own work to do here, have you thought about doing something yourself?"

   Now Bao Tianming is in charge of Wolf Smoke Games, Chen Haichao is in charge of Kyushu Electronics, and Zhu Xiaozhao is in charge of Yunhai Chain.

   Among the people who followed Chu Huan, Liu Pingkui was the first to come out, but now his status and wealth are the lowest, and he is only a successful commercial director in Xiangjiang.

  Chu Huan cherishes the relationship between the few of them together, so he doesn't want Liu Pingkui to feel unbalanced, so he also wants to see if Liu Pingkui has anything he wants to do.

Who knew that Liu Pingkui shook his head directly and said: "Don't, Brother Huan, just take it as me begging you, but please don't look for other things with me, you don't know how chic my life is now, on the set I mean the one-and-done boss, those female stars in the eyes of others outside, I can find whoever I want, if you change something for me now, I will be depressed!"

   Seeing Liu Pingkui say this, Chu Huan didn't say anything, but just reminded Liu Pingkui.

"Your salary is now the highest in the company. With that much money, it is enough for you to be a groom every night. The rest of the money is used to buy some properties and shares in Sun Hung Kai and New Century. I don't want to make movies in the future. You can also be a happy rich man!"

   Liu Pingkui immediately smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Huan!"

   After Zhu Xiaozhao took a bottle of beer and took a sip, Chu Huan preached to Bao Tianming.

   "After Yokoi Gunhei and Miyamoto Shigeru are settled, you have to go to North America."

  Bao Tianming immediately became interested and said, "What are you going to do in North America?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The market for the first arcade machine of Wolf Smoke Game is North America, so I will hand over the game development to Junhei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, and you will go to North America to see the market there. , and the second is to try to establish its own sales channels."

  At this stage, whether it is Japan, Europe, America or Hong Kong, arcade rooms have not appeared in the market. These arcade games are more parked in some bars, schools and other places.

   Such an environment is naturally not conducive to the promotion of arcade games, so if Chu Huan wants to get the most benefits from his arcade games at the fastest speed, then he needs to cultivate this market.

  When there are more and more arcade games, arcade game rooms will definitely spring up like mushrooms after rain.

   Now what Bao Tianming has to do is to find a way to get this arcade game room noticed faster.

After Bao Tianming heard Chu Huan's thoughts, he suddenly said to Chu Huan: "A Huan, if, as you said, arcade game rooms will really become the soil of arcade games, then there will be many arcade game rooms in the future." It appears, this market in Xiangjiang, can you invest a sum of money and let them do it?"

  The younger brothers who used to be by Bao Tianming's side, Yutoubiao and Sheziming, have completely entered the right line of work, and have become the boss of the Fish and Snake Detective Agency, and Skeleton has also become a member of the club's big brother level.

  But because the skeleton doesn't do the flour business, his financial resources are far inferior to those fanboys, so now Bao Tianming also wants to find a way for the skeleton to make money.

  After hearing Chu Huan analyze the future situation of the arcade game market, Bao Tianming had such an idea.

  Chu Huan said indifferently: "You are in charge of the wolf smoke game. You can make up your own mind on how to do it."

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Bao Tianming didn't say anything.

  Chu Huan said to Zhu Xiaozhao again: "Since Xiangjiang's chain stores are almost completed, there are two markets for you to choose, and see which one is suitable for you to go to."

  Zhu Xiaozhao didn't have much happiness on his face, but instead showed a trace of apprehension, looking at Chu Huan nervously.

  Chu Huan understood what Zhu Xiaozhao was thinking, and said with a smile: "This matter can be entrusted to someone you trust in the company, and at the same time, there will be a team of people from Jiaku to help you!"

  Hearing that he didn't have to go to these two places, the worry on Zhu Xiaozhao's face disappeared immediately.

   Then he began to think seriously about Chu Huan’s suggestion,

"Taiwan Island should be more convenient, but the development of 7-11 in Japan is getting faster and faster. If the Japanese market is left alone, we will enter the Japanese market in the future. Then, it will be more troublesome!"

  Chu Huan asked: "So you mean you want to open the Japanese market first?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "That's right!"

   Immediately, Zhu Xiaozhao said again: "But if we want to open up the market in Japan, the investment will be very large, and we should also bring the logistics system there. Only in this way can we truly compete with 7-11!"

  Chu Huan pondered for a while, and asked, "How much money is still in the company's account?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao said embarrassingly: "Not much, the previous money has been invested in Xiangjiang's expansion."

Chu Huan expressed that he could understand, and said: "In the past few days, your company will send people to investigate the Japanese market, and then make a budget. At that time, Jiaku will allocate a sum of money to you. It should be able to support your preliminary preparations and store opening work.”

  Japan's expansion is definitely not in place at once. As long as it develops in the early stage, it will not make profits later. I believe that Yunhai can also develop in Japan.

  Zhu Xiaozhao nodded first, and then asked Chu Huan: "Then shall we rent or buy the store?"

   "Buy!" Chu Huan said categorically that Japan today is no different from Xiangjiang now. Before the real estate bubble, Japan's real estate market was definitely promising, just like the cooperation between Chu Huan and Seibu Group.

   First take advantage of this time to buy at a low price, and then sell it before the real estate bubble. As for the store in Yunhai then?

   Prepare in advance whether to rent or wait for the real estate bubble to buy before buying!

   Last night, I checked the information all night, and I went to sleep in the morning, but I just woke up now. I’m sorry, everyone, there will be more in the future, even more~~
