The richest man

Chapter 176 Shocking Handwriting!

……

The Japanese side was soon notified that the Walt Disney Company canceled the franchising cooperation and switched to direct investment.

"It was a good talk, why did Disney change its mind?" a Tokyo official frowned.

For franchising, the Tokyo government has done a lot of work.

Now it seems that it is almost for nothing.

"Zhang Jun bought Disney, and this decision should have been made by him. However, it is not a bad thing for our government to see Disney's direct investment in the construction of Disneyland." Another official said, "Disneyland occupies an area With a large area and large investment, the government can solve a lot of local employment without spending money, and promote the development of tourism in Tokyo. In addition, the risk of this investment is also high, and the future income is uncertain, which saves our government from taking risks."

When everyone heard the words, they nodded.

"Well, Disney's direct participation in the investment, I think it's quite good, I support..."

"I support it too!"

"..."

Naturally, the Tokyo government strongly supports it, and would refuse investment for no reason.

……

Zhang Jun flew to Tokyo, Japan a few days later.

Officials sent by the Tokyo government received him very warmly.

Zhang Jun also has a lot of industries in Japan, which provides a lot of tax revenue and a lot of jobs for the Japanese government.

On the second day after staying in the hotel, Zhang Jun started negotiations with the Japanese government.

From franchising cooperation to direct investment, due to the relatively large changes, many things have to be discussed from the beginning, such as the land for Disneyland and the cost.

The land area of ​​Tokyo Disneyland is about 200 hectares. Such a large land must cost a lot.

The first round of negotiations between the two sides also discussed the purchase of land.

The Tokyo government hopes to retain the Disney company to build a park here, and offered an extremely cheap price of 2 million US dollars.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "The price of 200 hectares is 2 million U.S. dollars, that is, 1 hectare is 100 million U.S. dollars. This price is still too expensive!"

"Mr. Zhang, this is Tokyo, and the land price is very expensive. I have already given you very favorable conditions! Various surrounding facilities, such as transportation, water and electricity, etc., will be built by the Tokyo government. Moreover, after the opening of Tokyo Disneyland, Three years of tax exemption."

Zhang Jun pretended to be contemplative, but he also knew that the Tokyo government had given him very good conditions, but he still wanted more.

"That's the case, but investing in the construction of Disneyland will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. This project is so big, and the financial pressure will be very high, so in terms of land prices, it can be less or less! How about 1.5 million dollars?"

The Tokyo government looked at each other in blank dismay.

Subsequently, the two sides had many conversations around the land.

By noon, the Tokyo government had only conceded the price to $1.8 million.

The second round of negotiations was scheduled until tomorrow. In the afternoon, Zhang Jun went to the branch of the company under his name in the Tokyo area.

The branches established by Zhang Jun in Japan are mainly DreamWorks, Legendary Comics, Daily Group, and Legendary Technology.

With a small population base in Hong Kong, there are naturally few talents. Zhang Jun's company is gradually growing and needs to absorb a lot of talents. Naturally, Japanese talents will not be let go.

The Japanese are smart and capable, and when they work, they are conscientious. There is nothing to say about the 996 blessings, and they are provided to the arrangement.

……

DreamWorks Tokyo Branch.

The number of employees is as high as 1000, which is slightly less than the number of DreamWorks Hong Kong headquarters.

About 120 animations are produced at DreamWorks Tokyo branch every year.There are original works, as well as cooperation with other companies, with an annual net profit of more than [-] billion yen!
"Hi everyone, welcome everyone to join the big family of DreamWorks. In the past two years, DreamWorks has achieved very good results. I am very pleased and happy, and this is inseparable from everyone's hard work! The company has made money, and I I won’t lose everyone, I decided to take out 20% of the profits every year as a reward, the better you perform, the more bonuses you will get at the end of the year!”

Zhang Jun inspected here, encouraged them to work hard in front of the employees, and fed them a mouthful of chicken soup. In order to retain talents, he also generously gave out a large amount of profit as a reward.

The bigger the company, the more it needs to retain talent.

Zhang Jun doesn't intend to distribute the shares to others easily, so he can only take out a high bonus.

Zhang Jun is more fortunate that it is the 70s, not the later Internet era.At that time, if you don't give shares, believe it or not, senior talents will change jobs every minute.

So far, Zhang Jun holds 100% of the shares in many companies under Zhang Jun's name. This situation should not last for a long time. When necessary, he can make an equity incentive plan.

……

In the evening, Zhang Jun walked around DreamWorks, Legendary Comic Company, Daily Group, and Legendary Technology Company. They were all the same, cooking chicken soup for the employees to boost morale.

After dinner, Zhang Jun continued to discuss with the negotiating team. Regarding the Disneyland issue, try to grasp the bottom line of the Tokyo government as much as possible.

In the following week or so, several rounds of negotiations were conducted, but no consensus was reached and a breakthrough was made.

At this time, the two Disneylands in the United States are already expanding, "Pac-Man", "Pokemon", "Dragon Ball", "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Transformers", "Spiderman" Waiting to be settled in Disneyland.

As these news were exposed in the media, countless game fans and comic fans around the world cheered, and tens of thousands of tourists flocked to these two amusement parks.For a time, the number of tourists in Disneyland increased sharply, and the income skyrocketed.

The increase in tourists has brought great prosperity to the tourism industry of Los Angeles and Orlando.

It is impossible for the Tokyo government to remain indifferent after receiving the news.

At the internal meeting, an official said: "Everyone, the benefits of Zhang Jun's acquisition of Disney have begun to emerge. He has brought many high-quality IPs to Disney, and these IPs are even more national-level in Japan. Comics and games. If Tokyo Disneyland has "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Pokemon" and so on... then it will definitely greatly promote the development of Tokyo's tourism industry and prosper the market economy!!!”

"In my opinion, instead of entangled in the land price here, it is better to provide them with a lower land price and strive for the opening of Tokyo Disneyland as soon as possible!"

"If Tokyo Disneyland can open as soon as possible and attract tourists from all over the world, wouldn't it generate more revenue than just a few hundred million dollars?!"

As soon as the words fell, the officials nodded one after another.

Tourists from all over the world come to Tokyo, and all kinds of consumption, including transportation, accommodation, eating, shopping, etc., will bring huge benefits to Tokyo.

"That's right, then we will sell 200 hectares of land to them at a low price according to Zhang Jun's request."

"Well, I support it!"

"I support it too!"

This morning, when the Tokyo government contacted the Disney negotiating team again, they suddenly discovered that Zhang Jun was not in the negotiating team.

"Where's your boss?"

"It's like this. The French government learned that Disney is talking about cooperation with Japan in Disneyland, and they also want to cooperate with our Disney company, so they sent people to Japan. The reason why the boss did not appear in the negotiation team is that It's because he is receiving French guests..." A member of the Disney negotiating team replied in a flat tone.

When the representatives of the Japanese government in Tokyo heard this, their faces changed drastically.

The French government actually sent someone to intercept Hu? !
The delegation of the Japanese government in Tokyo was very angry.

The investment in building Disneyland is huge. Even with Zhang Jun's financial resources, it is impossible to invest and build in Tokyo and Paris at the same time.

What if the project of Disneyland is taken away by France?
For a while, the Tokyo negotiators felt anxious like ants on a hot pot.

And Zhang Jun is indeed meeting with representatives sent by Paris, France.

In fact, Zhang Jun sent the news to France, implying that Disney is considering building a Disneyland in Paris.

After receiving the news, the French side couldn't help being moved, and hurriedly sent people to Japan.

"Zhang, Paris is a very prosperous super city in Europe. It is located in the center of Europe, with convenient transportation, a pleasant environment and a large population. If a Disneyland can be built here, it will definitely attract tourists from all over Europe!" Maureen, representative of Paris, France Owen said, lifting his blond hair, looking straight at Zhang Jun with beautiful eyes.

Zhang Jun smiled slightly, his eyes couldn't help looking at the mature blonde beauty in front of him, with her delicate face, tall figure, and outstanding temperament, Zhang Jun couldn't help but think of a courtesan.

The Paris government thought they could seduce him by sending beautiful women, and if they thought so, they would surely fail.

Zhang Jun glanced at the long legs, really white.

Immediately, he withdrew his gaze.

Business matters.

He thought for a while and said: "Paris is indeed a good city, but we have already talked with the Tokyo government for a long time, and the other party is willing to give us very favorable conditions. Wouldn't it be a pity if we gave up at this time? At the same time, there is still a possibility It will offend the Japanese government..."

"It's just about business, the Japanese government will not be so stingy. What Tokyo can give you, we can give more in Paris. I heard that your negotiations have not been smooth. If you choose to build Disneyland in Paris , the French government can not only provide you with a large amount of land at low prices, but also provide you with large loans at low interest rates!!!" Maureen Owen finished speaking with a confident look on her face.

"Can the whole project be solved with a loan?" Zhang Jun couldn't help but asked after hearing this.

"Of course no problem, we believe in your ability, Mr. Zhang!"

Maureen Owen was not worried at all, Zhang Jun couldn't repay the bank loan.

Anyone who has investigated Zhang Jun knows that the reason why Zhang Jun has risen so quickly is that his talent is unparalleled in the world. Even if he spends a week or two casually writing a book, he can earn a lot of money. Hundreds of millions of dollars.

In other words, Zhang Jun is the boss of Disney, otherwise the Paris government would never agree to such a thing, and the French bank would not agree.

Another reason is to snatch the project from the Japanese government.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun smiled. Such a good thing is simply prostitution for nothing!Is there any reason not to agree?
"Since the French government is so sincere, then I agree!"

Zhang Jun paused and asked, "By the way, how much land is Paris willing to provide?"

"The Marne Valley in Paris has a large area, which is very suitable for the construction of Disneyland. It is a famous production area of ​​champagne, known as the 'Paris Gateway', and the environment is romantic..." Maureen Owen introduced the site selection, and then answered Zhang Jun The question just asked, "How about 2000 hectares, is it enough?!"

Zhang Jun nodded very satisfied, 2000 hectares, almost 10 times that of Tokyo Disneyland.

"Well, that's enough, the specific rules, I will send someone to negotiate with the Rengen Paris government later, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Maureen Owen reached out to shake Zhang Jun's hand. Zhang Jun felt offended that the little girl Maureen Owen was actually seducing him.

Billionaire, talented, and young and handsome, he is really loved by beauties!
Zhang Jun was a little annoyed by this kind of distress.

……

That night, the Tokyo government was afraid that the Disneyland project would be ruined, so they came to the hotel where Zhang Jun stayed overnight to look for him.

Fortunately, Zhang Jun is a relatively clean person. Instead of studying the structure of the human body with Maureen Owen, he went back to the hotel to rest.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the French government invited you to build Disneyland in Paris?" an official in Tokyo tentatively asked.

"Yes, the conditions they gave are very good, I am very tempted." Zhang Jun nodded with a smile.

"What conditions did they give?"

"The French government is willing to provide 2000 hectares of land at a low price for the construction of Disneyland, and is also willing to provide a large amount of low-interest loans! It can be said that Disney can build this Disneyland almost without spending its own money!" said After that, Zhang Jun looked at the representative of the Tokyo government with an intriguing smile on his face.

Look at the French government. If you provide such good conditions, your Japanese government can't express it?

Several Japanese officials were shocked when they heard the words.

Is the French government crazy?
In fact, people are not crazy at all.

It's just more courageous.

Since Zhang Jun acquired Disney, he has injected a lot of super IP into Disney.Paris values ​​Disneyland as a project that can drive tourism in a region.

The French bank gave Disney a loan. Although the interest rate is low, the loan amount is relatively high, and the profit is also very considerable.

And all the money will be used to build Disneyland Paris, and it will be returned to France.

The representatives in Tokyo were fidgeting. Compared with France, the conditions offered by themselves were really poor.

They quickly bid farewell to Zhang Jun, expressing that they would report this situation to the above, and they would definitely come up with conditions that would satisfy Disney, please Zhang Jun not to make a decision early.

Zhang Jun nodded with a smile, saying that he would not immediately sign a contract with France.

The next morning, the Tokyo delegation came to the hotel where Zhang Jun stayed again.

"Mr. Zhang, the Tokyo government can also provide you with low-cost land and bank loans. I hope you can consider keeping Disneyland in Tokyo. Tokyo is the most prosperous city in Asia, with a population of 2000 million. An ideal city!" said the person in charge of the Tokyo delegation.

Zhang Jun smiled when he heard this.

Since both Tokyo and Paris are willing to borrow money for themselves, the two Disneylands will be built together. Anyway, it will cost the bank money. As long as the Disneyland operates properly, the loan will be repaid soon.

Zhang Jun immediately discussed the loan with the Tokyo delegation.

Three days later, Zhang Jun signed a deal with the Tokyo government.

The land area of ​​Tokyo Disneyland has not only increased to 400 hectares, but the price is also very cheap, as long as 2 million US dollars.

And it was introduced by the Tokyo government that Bank of Mitsubishi provided Disney with a loan of 1000 billion yen, which is about 5 million U.S. dollars. After 10 years, the principal and interest will be repaid together, and the repayment will be in U.S. dollars.At that time, Japan had already signed the Plaza Accord, and the yen appreciated wildly against the U.S. dollar. Mitsubishi Bank lost money in this wave of operations.But no one would have thought that the United States would suppress the Japanese brother and force him to sign the Plaza Accord...

January 1977, 1 at 22 noon.

Disney signed agreements with the Tokyo government and Mitsubishi Bank.

The Japanese media made a big splash!

Before the news spread, countless fans in Japan were ecstatic and rushed to tell each other, looking forward to the early completion of Tokyo Disneyland.

Inside a characteristic Japanese tavern.

Zhang Jun met with Watanabe Nomura of Dongbao Co., Ltd.

Don't treat each other with admiration for three days.

Watanabe Nomura looked at Zhang Jun with a lot of emotion in his heart.

Back then, Zhang Jun was just the boss of a small film company, and he almost broke his leg in order to be able to release "The Snake".At that time, I still had a sense of superiority in front of him.However, a few years later, Zhang Jun has become a giant in the business world, and he is still the manager of the film procurement department of Toho Corporation.

"Mr. Zhang, you are spending huge sums of money to build a Disneyland in Tokyo. It's really a big deal!!!" Watanabe Nomura complimented.

Zhang Jun took a sip of Japanese sake and said with a light smile, "Actually, it's nothing. I don't have any money. I just borrowed money from the bank..."

"That's not easy! Banks are not charities, and not everyone can lend so much money from banks!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun smiled, it was true.

Mitsubishi Bank dared to loan because it was certain that it could afford it.

Zhang Jun asked about Watanabe Nomura's current situation, and then asked about Dongbao Co., Ltd.

In fact, Zhang Jun asked Watanabe Nomura out today with a purpose.

Japan has a large population and a huge movie market.

But Zhang Jun did not own a film company in Japan. When he came to Japan this time, he thought it would be best to acquire a powerful Japanese film company.

And Dongbao Co., Ltd. is the first choice.

Because Zhang Jun has cooperated with this company many times, he is quite familiar with it.

Watanabe Nomura was surprised while chatting.

Zhang Jun asked him so many things about Dongbao Co., Ltd., it seems that there is almost a trace of purpose.

Watanabe Nomura vaguely guessed that Zhang Jun wanted to acquire Dongbao Co., Ltd., but this may be a good thing for him. Maybe after Zhang Jun acquires Dongbao Co., Ltd., he will be able to take over! !
Therefore, no matter what Zhang Jun asked, Watanabe Nomura would answer everything, knowing everything.

Zhang Jun smiled and knew that Watanabe Nomura had guessed what he meant.

Half an hour later, Zhang Jun was about to leave after eating and drinking enough. He patted Nomura Watanabe on the shoulder and said, "Brother Watanabe, I like you, work hard!"

Watanabe Nomura nodded excitedly upon hearing this.

After Zhang Jun learned some internal information about Dongbao Co., Ltd. from Watanabe Nomura, he made up his mind.

But at this time, he had no time to acquire Dongbao Co., Ltd., but immediately flew to Paris, France, and then led a team to inspect the Marne Valley in Paris for a few days, confirming that this place is indeed suitable for building a Disneyland, so he negotiated with Paris, France Cooperation, and finally quickly signed a cooperation agreement.

These days, besides negotiating during the day, Zhang Jun also makes the design proposal of Disneyland at night. It can be seen from the design that Zhang Jun attaches great importance to localization.

In the previous life, after the opening of Paris Disneyland, there were few tourists and serious losses.

Afterwards, improvements and localization were carried out, and as a result, Paris Disneyland quickly turned around.

With the announcement of the Disneyland project here in Paris, France, the whole world couldn't help being shocked by Zhang Jun's shocking generosity! ! !

After the news came out, the voice in Hong Kong suddenly became louder, but Zhang Jun has not yet considered whether to build a Disneyland in Hong Kong.In the previous life, Hong Kong Disneyland had been losing money...
