Chapter 411 409 [Nikkatsu Film Company]

Carrian Group
Chen Songqing was a little surprised by Li Wendi's visitor and suspected that he had bad intentions. However, considering that the Jianing Group was now in crisis, there seemed to be nothing that could interest Li Wendi. Chen Songqing felt a little relieved and suddenly had the idea of ​​using Li Wendi's financial resources and reputation to rise again.

"Mr. Li, it's been a long time since we last met. You look younger and younger." Chen Songqing held Li Wendi's right hand tightly.

Li Wendi was no longer interested in such compliments, but he still had to give face to Chen Songqing, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are much more handsome now."

Soon everyone came to the conference room and took their seats. Chen Songqing rarely sat in the head seat, but sat opposite Li Wendi, looking at Li Wendi with a bright smile, not seeming to be worried about the crisis faced by the Jianing Group.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, I am very interested in the 21% stake in R&F Nikkatsu Film Company held by your company. I wonder if you can sell these shares to my private company?" Li Wendi said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Li, I'm very sorry. I am very optimistic about the Japanese market and have no intention of selling my shares in Nikkatsu Film Company." Chen Songqing shook his head and said.

"Mr. Chen, I know that the main business of the Jianing Group is not the cinema and film industry, so there should be a price. Mr. Chen, don't you want to hear my offer?" Li Wendi said.

Chen Songqing nodded and said, "Okay, then what price is Mr. Li willing to pay?"

"8000 million yuan!" Li Wendi quoted his price.

Chen Songqing's face changed slightly. "Mr. Li, although my purchase of Nikkatsu Film Company's stock was relatively secretive, you should also know that the transaction price in the past two years was as high as 1 million yuan. Although the increase in RB's land prices is not as high as that in Hong Kong, it has also increased a lot. How could it be a loss-making deal?"

Nikkatsu Film Company was founded in 1912. Its main business is entertainment film investment, including film and television production, music production. It also operates 428 cinemas in Japan and has a large amount of land reserves in the country, including Tokyo.

It is now the early 80s, and RB's economy is in a stage of rapid development. The core strength is concentrated in the industrial field. Neither the consortium nor the people have yet focused on the real estate industry. Although the land price has increased, the actual increase is not much.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "The land price in RB has indeed increased, but the increase is not large. The film industry is in a recession and has been losing money for years. The increase in land prices is only enough to make up for the losses, and the film industry will continue to lose money. 8000 million yuan is enough."

Chen Songqing still disagreed. "8000 million yuan is impossible. I can sell it to Mr. Li at the original price, but there is one condition. As long as Mr. Li agrees, I can also buy a medium-sized real estate company in RB for him."

Li Wendi said, "Mr. Chen, please tell me the conditions first and see if I can do it."

"Mr. Li must have heard about the situation of the Carrian Group, otherwise he would not have chosen to come to your door at this time. I need some funds to revitalize the group, so I want the Changxin Group or other companies under your control to take over the old wing project of the Miramar Hotel in the urban area of ​​Kowloon, and at the same time hand over the 14 billion yuan involved to the Carrian Group. Of course, the extra 9 million yuan will be regarded as a loan from the Carrian Group to the company that takes over." Chen Songqing said seriously.

Li Wendi sneered and said, "Mr. Chen has a good calculation. He wants to cash out 1 billion yuan from 14 million yuan of shares. To put it bluntly, 14 billion yuan is enough to acquire Nikkatsu Films. In addition, the Carrian Group is heavily in debt and is on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation. If we lend money to the Carrian Group, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Songqing's face turned ugly. The business empire he had spent several years of hard work to build was actually belittled by Li Wendi. He also knew that it was impossible to get Li Wendi to fall into the trap, but since he wanted to bargain, he naturally had to raise the price, but his asking price was already out of space.

"Mr. Li, the Jianing Group still has other sources of funds. Even if it has a debt of 60 billion yuan, it can still survive the difficulties. The Jianing Group will also have a place in Hong Kong in the future." Chen Songqing was still stubborn. "Mr. Chen, let's put it this way. I know that your company and Hong Kong Land paid 9.24 million yuan in cash to Miramar Hotel. If you can't pay the balance at this time, the 9.24 million yuan you paid will be gone. How about I pay you 5 million yuan in funds and you transfer this project to my private company?" Li Wendi said.

"Mr. Li, your eating habits are a bit ugly. This is the first payment of 9.24 million yuan." Chen Songqing said bluntly.

Li Wendi smiled faintly, "In this case, I can only spend more money and go to RB in person. I believe that the shareholders of Nikkatsu Film Company will welcome my arrival."

Chen Songqing still thought that he was the helmsman of the Carrian Group in 81 and 82, and even some foreigners believed him. However, Li Wendi was the man standing at the top of the food chain in Hong Kong. Even in his heyday, he could not compare to Li Wendi, yet he dared to challenge him.

When Li Wendi and a group of people stood up and prepared to leave, Chen Songqing was unwilling to give up this opportunity to make a comeback, so he quickly said, "Wait, Mr. Li! We can talk again."

"How about paying 6 million yuan?" Chen Songqing hopes to get more cost funds from the old wing project of Miramar Hotel.

Li Wendi shook his head. "5 million is my highest price. I have a lot of properties in downtown Kowloon. There is no need to take over the Miramar Old Wing project worth 28 billion yuan at this time."

Chen Songqing sighed, "Okay, give me some time to convince the Landmark Company. At the same time, I hope Mr. Li won't tell anyone about what happened today."

"OK! Then I'll wait for Mr. Chen's news." Li Wendi did not delay and stood up and left the meeting room.

After leaving the conference room and sitting in the elevator, Hu Jian asked, "Boss, do we really want to take over this project? It's really not worthwhile to take over this project now. There is still a balance of nearly 20 billion yuan to be paid for this project."

“This project can build a commercial circle in the core area of ​​Tsim Sha Tsui, forming a business circle similar to that of the Hong Kong Land Development in Central. When the crisis is over, a market value of 10 billion will be a small amount. The key is that we have sufficient funds and we can try to win it. At worst, we can cut the previously formulated plan in half and mobilize funds to complete this project.” Li Wendi said calmly.

Originally, he also had the idea of ​​taking over this project, but he was worried that Chen Songqing would ask for a high price. Now it is just right, he can save 4 million yuan, and then he can try to talk to the Miramar Hotel about reducing the price.

"Well! That's true! Then our plan to enter the real estate industry in RB country will be 60% weaker?" Hu Jian said.

"Don't worry! The RB plan can be implemented slowly. I still have an investment of more than one billion US dollars in the United States. I can withdraw half of it and invest in RB when the time comes." Li Wendi said confidently.

Hu Jian's eyes widened. An investment of more than one billion US dollars? If half of it was withdrawn and invested in RB, it would be an investment of 30 billion yuan, not much less than the funds invested in the old wing project of Miramar Hotel.

"Can we start the acquisition of Nikkatsu Film Company? I'm worried that Chen Songqing is an unethical person and will leak the company's plan." Hu Jian reminded Li Wendi.

Li Wendi nodded and said, "Then notify our colleagues in RB to start working on it. Change the plan and speed it up. I will only give them one month. I want to control more than 70% of the shares of Nikkatsu Film Company."
