My love life with the Yuanzu singer

Chapter 615 Qualified Chairman

After being reminded by their mother Akiko, Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina realized that they had forgotten such an important thing, but even though they just remembered it, the problem is not too big. As long as the relationship is stable, it is the same when they register for marriage of.

So the two discussed it and decided to register for marriage in April after Akina Nakamori's full tour. At that time, the registration was completed and the wedding was held, so it was not a waste of time.

The preparations for the wedding are progressing smoothly, and the release of the new movie is also going smoothly. In the second week of its release, "Horror Cruise" still had a revenue of 28 billion yen. In this way, it is basically confirmed that it is the first annual film of the Neon 90s. The box office champion, but according to the box office trend, it is basically impossible for the box office to exceed the legendary figure of 100 billion yen.

The domestic box office of Neon is good, but the box office in other parts of Asia is not so good. As the box office of other markets around the world is sent back one after another, Hiroshi Kimura also knows that this movie that has devoted a lot of effort is in other TV markets. Performance.

First of all, the Asian market, the box office is not good, even not as good as his previous work "Quick Chase", there is no way, Asians in this era are not particularly interested in this kind of Western suspenseful and fantasy movies. They are not very interested in many of the Western metaphors, which makes their viewing experience not very good.

If it weren't for this movie being supervised by Hiroshi Kimura, I'm afraid the box office would be even worse, but fortunately, it's not that bad, it's just not as good as expected. Hiroshi Kimura liked this very much, he already knew this The movie will not be very popular in Asia, except for the completely neon westernization.

The box office performance in the Asian market is not good, but in the European and American markets, the box office of this movie can be said to be a success all the way. In the early stage, Dongbao invested a lot of resources in promoting the European and American markets, including inviting celebrities, opening some screenings, and Including various magazines, newspapers and TV advertisements, in short, all the means that should be used are used.

But even so, the screening rate obtained at the beginning is only a pitiful [-]%. Although there are no blockbuster films released in this time period, even so, the screening rate that European and American theaters are willing to give is just like this.

However, the effect of the early publicity can be said to be very good. There are a lot of audiences who entered the cinema at the beginning. With the spread of word-of-mouth, the attendance rate of this movie began to soar.

"My God, the Orientals are able to make such a movie that contains so many metaphors of Western mythology, and its logic is clear and interlocking. It can be said that the concept of time loop is very magical. It's really amazing. An unimaginable Western film."

It was originally developed for Western audiences, and the metaphors in it are also Western myths. Only they can understand the stories of Fengshen, Death, and Sisyphus.

More importantly, this movie is actually from the East. An Eastern director can use Western myths and fables so skillfully to make a movie. This is definitely a novelty for fans of America.

Coupled with the media's spare no effort to publicize after collecting money, the attendance rate can be imagined. This forced the theaters to start adjusting the film schedule of "Horror Cruise", from 15.00% to 20.00%, and finally gave it to [-]%. Basically reached the limit they can give.

With money, it is easy for theater owners in the European and American markets to challenge their limits. It is conceivable that discrimination and bottom line are not as important as money to these bosses. As long as they have money, they don't care about these things at all.

In this way, the box office of "Terror Cruise" can be said to skyrocket all the way. The box office in the first week was only 370 million US dollars. In the second week, the box office instantly rose to 600 million US dollars. It might also top $500 million, another record for a Neon movie in America.

Such a high box office was passed back to Neon, which naturally made Dongbao very happy. Their huge investment has finally been fruitful. At least Yasuko Sawaguchi has shown his face in front of Western audiences. Western audiences are likely to be face-blind to Eastern faces, but at least the box office is justified.

The excited Fukada Isamu also called and told Kimura Hiroshi, "Kimura-san, the 70.00% box office share promised to you will not be less at all, we will call you all, no matter how high the box office is, and we will call the box office in advance. It's for you, and I won't wait until the European and American theaters settle the payment before sending you the money."

"Of course it couldn't be better, Fukada-san, I hope to be able to enter the account next month." Hiroshi Kimura was naturally disrespectful to this, and he even wanted Dongbao to transfer the money as soon as possible.

Because the Ministry of Finance of Nihong really doesn’t talk about martial arts and launched a sneak attack. It actually released the latest bank loan interest rate adjustment yesterday. Originally, to encourage investment, the interest rate of bank loans is terribly low. At least Hiroshi Kimura borrowed money at the time When buying real estate, only [-]% to [-]% interest is required, which is really wonderful for investors.

But now the Ministry of Finance requires banks to adjust the interest rate to [-]% to [-]%, with a minimum of [-]%. The interest rate of most commercial banks is adjusted to more than [-]%. Land loans must be strictly reviewed, which means that the original leveraged operation will no longer work.

In the past, Neon’s investors used loans to buy real estate and stocks, and then used these assets to mortgage and then borrowed to buy, one set after another. In this case, as long as the appreciation of the assets exceeds the bank’s interest, they can continue to play , In the past, the interest rate was very low, even if it did not increase in value, it was acceptable, but now it is different. Assets must increase in value, and they must reach a certain critical value, otherwise they will be insolvent.

Coupled with the narrowing of loans by the banks, you will definitely not be able to do one set after another, so this will inevitably enter a dead end. In addition, the value of the neon currency has continued to rise over the years, and the ability to export has been greatly weakened. It is very difficult to transfer part of the crisis, which directly leads to Neon itself having to fully bear this wave of terrible storms.

It's just that the current neon market still can't see the crisis caused by doing so. Yesterday, the Ministry of Finance released news that the stock market fluctuated only slightly, with a slight drop of [-]%. The real estate market has no impact, and it is still going on. Maintain that unattainable high price.

Because Neon’s investors are still imagining that Neon will not allow the stock market to fall and the real estate to collapse. Even if the interest rate is raised, if there is a problem, they will take action to save the market, such as lowering the interest rate again, etc. , as if they felt that the Ministry of Finance would not decide to raise the loan interest rate so quickly.

But Hiroshi Kimura knows that these are just fantasies, and the Ministry of Finance and Economics of Neon will not save them. They need to bear everything by themselves. A bigwig has also invested in real estate, and is about to usher in a period of violent asset fluctuations.

Moreover, it was rumored that when the bubble burst, a large part of the assets in this person's hands were divided up by various consortiums with serious losses. This is why in the 90s, Yasuko Sawaguchi's resources immediately fell off a cliff, because The boss couldn't stand it anymore.

Faced with this situation, it is naturally impossible for Hiroshi Kimura to do nothing. The first thing he has to do is to let his company survive this storm safely.

This is not very difficult, because their company mainly produces literary and artistic works, and has not invested in the stock market or real estate, and then with the burst of the bubble, the consumption of neon people is downgraded, such as comics, movies and so on. On the contrary, consumption will become the first choice of neon people.

But it does not mean that they have no other problems. The first is the situation of the internal employees of the company. To avoid the loss of some high-quality employees due to investment bankruptcy, Kimura Hiroshi directly called Matsumoto Takaaki and asked directly, "Matsumoto Corporation Chief, how many employees of our company have invested in real estate or stocks?"

Matsumoto Koaki didn't expect that Kimura Hiroshi called him here to ask this question, but he quickly realized that Kimura Hiroshi probably read the loan interest rate adjustment announced by the Ministry of Finance yesterday, so he had some concerns.

"Well, president, as far as the company's employees are concerned, there are not a few people who invest. It can be said that most of the employees have participated, but the president can rest assured that most of them do not have any super large loans. For real estate investment, because they are all young employees. Many of them can’t afford the down payment at all, so the vast majority of employees don’t have real estate.” Koaki Matsumoto still has a good understanding of the company’s situation.

This was beyond Hiroshi Kimura's expectations, but he immediately understood that most of the company's employees were recruited around 87, when real estate prices had already started to go crazy, and in the past two years when the increase was so terrifying, it was only them In the first two years of working, the house price was already terribly high. Even if they wanted to drink soup, they didn't have a spoon!
This is very similar to the situation in his motherland in later generations. Although most young people know that investing in real estate is very profitable, they can't get in a car. If you don't have money, you can only watch. If you want to get in a car, you can't Prerequisites are required.

"In terms of investment, President Hirono and I and several others have invested in some real estate. Does the president feel that the situation is about to change?" Matsumoto Takaaki then asked tentatively.

In this regard, Hiroshi Kimura did not answer directly, but said, "Since the Ministry of Finance wants to control real estate investment, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing at such a high price of real estate. President Matsumoto, if he makes money, it is best It’s better to stop now, of course, these are just some of my opinions.”

What he said was quite tactful, Matsumoto Takaaki thought about it seriously, and then replied, "I will carefully consider what the chairman said, and if possible, I will sell the real estate in my hand."

I also know what I said, it is very difficult for Matsumoto Takaaki to give up the real estate that is still increasing in value, so Hiroshi Kimura does not intend to say more, knowing that most of the employees in the company do not have any large amount of money. He felt relieved when he borrowed money to invest in the company. He didn't want to bankrupt all the employees of the company because of a bubble burst, which would be a big blow to the company. After all, it takes time to train new employees.

"President Matsumoto thinks about these things himself, but I still have to talk about some things related to the company. The first is the company's expenses, which need to be controlled. You need to plan these, and the company's year-end dividends..., Forget it, let’s not cut it.”

Originally, Hiroshi Kimura wanted to cut a part of the dividends planned for employees as a reserve fund, so that when the bubble bursts, they will give them to them when they need it, so as to help them tide over the difficulties, but Hiroshi Kimura thought about it and knew If you cut dividends, you may not get gratitude, but complaints.

Nothing else, you said it was for my own good, but you withheld my money, and you will give it to me when I have difficulties. I am afraid that this will not get a good response in the world, because human nature is like this, Kimura Hiroshi He is not a saint. For the sake of the employees, he bears the infamy. Let them face the storm by themselves. If the salary is not reduced by then, it will be the greatest kindness to them.

I also know what the chairman Hiroshi Kimura is thinking. Matsumoto Takaaki said, "President, the personal assets of employees are not something we need to manage. This is beyond the scope of the company's functions. We only need to give what we need to give They can do it in their hands, and the rest is their own business."

After all, which country does he come from, there is always a thought in his heart that he wants to lead everyone to become rich together. This is not a qualified president. Hiroshi Kimura forcibly suppressed this kind of thought, and then said, "What President Matsumoto said is That’s right, let’s do this, I’m thinking too much, but things must be done to control costs, understand?”

"I understand the president, I will start planning immediately after I go back, and I will reduce the company's operating costs by more than [-]% in two months, so as to ensure that even if the company encounters any big problems in the future Even with the economic crisis, there will be no operational problems." Takaaki Matsumoto set a goal for Hiroshi Kimura.

Hiroshi Kimura was very satisfied with this, and said, "Very well, then President Matsumoto will work hard, but what should be given to the employees must still be given, and the salary cannot be cut or the working hours cannot be excessively increased. The rest is up to you to decide. OK."
