Chapter 829: The Youngest in History!
I am doing business, and in terms of decisiveness, it is also worthy of admiration.
Under the strong pressure of Arida, Okubo Satoru did not delay much, and only two days later, they gave Yin Jun an accurate answer.
$250 million, including 10 years of exclusive rights to the game for "Heung Kong Cube", including arcade and home console modes, but not limited to that.
Yin Jun readily agreed.
Sister Le was a little unhappy.
Because in the two small places of Xiangjiang and Baodao, you can earn almost 15 million US dollars, and in such a large market as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, you can't make 3.5 billion US dollars?
What is the reason for giving them money for nothing?
Yin Jun is not as decisive as Sister Le, nor does he have her courage, but he has an outstanding vision that Sister Le does not have.
In fact, the reason why Yin Jun made concessions is very simple.
It is exactly what he said to his sister Le before, video games are just a supplement to his entertainment kingdom, and they are not to be focused on development.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hired many people by now, and the main force of R&D is still all those game designers and engineers who came from Japan.
A normal, ambitious game company is never as simple as being in charge of R&D.
It also involves the organization of the production chain, the management of the sales chain, and the development of various peripheral products.
Each of these aspects will involve a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and will require the accumulation and assistance of many aspects.
To put it bluntly, this is an industry that requires your full dedication in order to blossom and bear fruit.
But!
Yin Jun, who came from the future, knew that these game companies were actually far from the mainstream of future games, and their influence was pitiful, so it was not suitable to spend so much effort to invest.
Moreover, a company's energy is limited.
If you devote yourself to the development of the game industry, what about entertainment?
Nowadays, although Yin Jun has let a lot of profits go out, this is also the network and channel that several major game companies have been working hard for so many years.
If you change to Kylin Games to do it, don't think about it well for three or five years, it will cost a lot.
Instead of this, it's really better to sell it to them first, and use "Xiangjiang Cube" to make it famous, so that when the second game comes out, you can have more initiative.
Yin Jun used these reasons to appease Sister Le again and make her no longer care.
Anyway, Sister Le also knows that Yin Jun still has at least seven or eight classic games in his hands, which are no worse than "Xiangjiang Cube".
If these games can sell three or five billion US dollars, it will definitely be a relief for the now debt-rich Kirin Group.
Yin Jun's acquisition of Disney, United Arts Films, 7-11, and MTV TV has been completed in March.
The whole is $3.7 billion invested, but almost all of it is borrowed to acquire.
In terms of the current profitability of the Kirin Group, there is no problem in paying the annual interest, after all, "Kirin Weekly" and Transformers toys are super profitable businesses that make money every day.
"Kylin Weekly" and its single book are net profits of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars per month.
Transformers is even more fierce, and after opening the sale in 50 countries and regions, the profit is now conservatively estimated at $40 million per month.
Based on the usual loan interest rate of 8%-10%, Kirin Group needs to pay a sky-high interest of almost 350 million US dollars a year.
However, with the help of these two super gold-absorbing weapons, Kirin Group can still have a surplus of about 330 million US dollars.
But if you want to pay off these principals, under normal circumstances, don't think about it for ten or eight years.
After all, the two major money-making tools that the Kirin Group can best come up with, and many of the rest are still in the red, such as Kirin TV and "Kirin Daily".
In addition, those companies in the United States are all in tatters, and if you don't work hard to keep up with the development in the past few years, there is no way to open up the situation, so this is another quagmire that is not easy to step on.
Many predicaments and problems that need to be solved urgently have also made many foreign consulting institutions and investment banks not very optimistic about Kirin Group.
Now Yin Jun has surpassed the king of charter boats and has become the biggest pride of Xiangjiang.
Since the opening of the port of Xiangjiang, there has never been such a genius who has created such a great career at the age of less than 20.
doesn't need to be publicized by others, Yin Jun has become the best spokesperson for Xiangjiang Dream.
A destitute young man who swam from the mainland three years ago has finally achieved great things with his own efforts and talents.
Therefore, seeing that so many foreigners are not very optimistic about the Kirin Group, most of the media and passers-by in Xiangjiang have refuted it.
"I think this part of the funds is indeed a huge pressure on the Kirin Group. But as far as I know, Yin Jun will not be a person who buys companies casually, he must have made a detailed comparison before buying, otherwise Le Yiling will definitely not allow him to buy! With Le Yiling's influence on him, can these businesses work without her consent?"
Now that Yin Jun is super-rich, everyone seems to have forgotten his prestige in every TV series and movie that has swept the ratings and box office across Asia. For a genius, the difference is not whether he can achieve elegance and common appreciation, and break down the barriers between Eastern and Western cultures, but whether he is willing to do it! I am looking forward to the future of these companies under Yin Jun's control!"
"I don't know where they got their superiority! What Junshao is best at is creating miracles, wait, it won't be long before they have to eat these words in their stomachs!"
"As long as there are Transformers, Yin Jun can't collapse! Now it's only on sale in 50 countries and regions, if it becomes a global sale, and the profit exceeds 100 million US dollars a month, can there be any problems?"
"Hehe, you've all overlooked one of the biggest problems. …… Jun Shao is a genius! Who said that if you buy these few, you will become a drag on Jun Shao? Disney and United Arts need cartoons and movies, so what's the problem? Jun Shao can write it! If you casually take a script like "Police Detective School" and make about a dozen scripts a year, can't you still earn billions of dollars to pay off your debts?
“……”
The pursuit of the media and passers-by is, of course, only one aspect, at most the role of solidarity at the starting point, and it is not of great practical use.
But the next one has given Yin Jun enough support.
He is Shen Bi, chairman of the Hong Kong HSBC Bank.
The day after the completion of the $3.7 billion deal, Shen Bi publicly extended an invitation to Yin Jun to become a director on the board of HSBC.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a shock in the global financial industry!
HSBC's status in the international metropolis of Xiangjiang is not to be blown away, and any Standard Chartered or Citi will be swept aside.
Even in the UK, HSBC can shoot the top three, and in the global banking industry, HSBC is also one of the top 50 players.
It's not easy!
The top 50 of the thousands of banks around the world is already very impressive.
The people who can work here are already elites, let alone become leaders, or even directors!
Yin Jun was already a director of Heung Kong Commercial Bank, but Heung Kong Commercial Bank was not ranked in the top 10 in Heung Kong, and its influence was of course limited.
But HSBC is different, such a behemoth actually invited Yin Jun to become a director of the board of directors, what is this concept?
19-year-old HSBC director!?
This is against the sky!
This is the greatest affirmation that HSBC is giving Yin Jun!
They are sure that Yin Jun's acquisitions are very meaningful and very powerful, and they are optimistic about Yin Jun's future!
An HSBC bank, although strong enough, is so obvious that it is unimaginable to have such an obvious confrontation with Wall Street financial institutions!
Even the British side expressed doubts.
But the people of Xiangjiang were very uplifted, and they praised HSBC, and for a while, Shen Bi's reputation soared, which made him unexpectedly happy.
What HSBC stands for in Xiangjiang, Yin Jun can think of with his feet.
On the morning of the first working day after the weekend, he went to HSBC and received a letter of appointment as a director of HSBC under the witness of many reporters.
Yin Jun, a director, is naturally a member of the board of directors and has the right to vote.
The salary is a symbolic 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, and there are no equity incentives.
Yin Jun doesn't work in the bank, and he doesn't make any contributions, so his salary is naturally lower.
In this era, the salaries of the top executives of the banks are not high enough, but their power is very large, controlling the flow of billions, tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds.
This is also an important reason why Shen Bi is so popular.
With the title of director of the board of directors of HSBC, Yin Jun is naturally close to the center of HSBC's power.
Not to mention anything else, if Yin Jun has any problems with funds in the future, he will be much more able to get help from HSBC.
Then, those who have asked for HSBC will also come to Yin Jun and ask him for help with a loan or something, which gives Yin Jun more opportunities to expand his contacts and obtain resources.
Of course, HSBC isn't all good.
For example, their attitude towards the mainland is criticized.
Because of this, Bao Yugang and Li Chaoren resigned as directors of HSBC one after another.
But Yin Jun was not worried.
It's only 1981 now, and the contradictions between HSBC and the mainland are prominent, all after Shen Bi left, and it will take several years.
By that time, his strength will be strong enough, even if he doesn't want HSBC as an ally, it won't matter.
