Chapter 361: Quid pro quo
When Yin Jun walked out of the hotel, the deal was naturally not concluded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Botes didn't want people to think that he was also crazy, so he didn't even talk about the price of the trial.
Everyone is a smart person, and to talk about a valuation of two or three billion is simply an insult to the IQ of oneself and the opponent of the negotiation.
Although Botes thinks that Yin Jun may talk about it on the basis of 5 billion or 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is still impossible to give this price, and the result of the discussion between Swire and Jardine Matheson is a valuation of up to 3 billion.
Although it is more than double the current value of 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars, Botes himself does not believe that in a year or two, Cheung Kong will not reach such a level.
Yin Jun is a smart person, and a genius, everyone knows this.
And Botters also knew that Yin Jun rejected the offers of 150 million Hong Kong dollars from several real estate companies, and resolutely did not sell his land that he bought with 10 million, so that he could make a super high profit of 120 million Hong Kong dollars as soon as he changed hands, which did not make Yin Jun excited.
Yin Jun said to him the meaning of those words just now, that is, to give each other a step, if the price can't be very high, then it's better not to say it, so as not to hurt the harmony when you get it.
"Mr. Yin!"
Outside the door of the hotel, a man in his 30s walked over and said respectfully, "Mr. Li from Cheung Kong is waiting for you in the car, please come here." ”
He pointed to the road opposite the hotel, where an ordinary BMW business car was parked, and where the window was open, Li Chaoren smiled and waved at Yin Jun.
Yin Jun went over and got into the car, and where the door was closed, he drove slowly.
"Yin Sheng, what should you drink?" asked Li Chaoren, pointing to the small wine cabinet next to him.
"I don't drink, thank you. Yin Jun shook his head and said.
"In the past two days, there must be a lot of people looking for Yin Sheng, right?" Li Chaoren leaned back, smiled and asked, "I haven't congratulated Yin Sheng yet, you really have vision and courage!"
"Mr. Li shouldn't be nervous to ask me now, have you sold your shares to Swire or Jardine?" Yin Jun replied without asking.
"As I said, Yin Sheng is a person with vision and courage, of course it is impossible to do such an irrational thing. Li Chaodao, "How much price did they give you? 300 million, 400 million, 500 million? Compared with the future development of Cheung Kong, this amount of money is really nothing! I am confident that Cheung Kong will develop into a super group of more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and I think Yin Sheng should have confidence in me, not in them. ”
Yin Jun nodded, and shook his head again, "They don't have an offer." ”
"No offer?" Li Chaoren was surprised.
"Because I told them, I think in 20 years, Cheung Kong Asset Group will be able to grow to a scale of 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. Yin Jun smiled slightly, "Mr. Botes thought I was crazy, so there was no offer." ”
500 billion!?
After Rao is Li Chaoren acquired Hutchison Whampoa, his confidence in his future career has swelled dozens of times, but he was still shocked when he heard Yin Jun say this amount.
I thought Yin Jun was joking, but looking at Yin Jun's serious appearance, Li Chaoren didn't feel a wry smile, "When you say that, even if I want to buy your shares, I can't speak." ”
"Although I don't want to sell it, if Mr. Li opens his mouth, I can sell it to you, as long as you give me 5 billion. Yin Jun said calmly, "This price is far from the peak of Cheung Kong Industrial, but I can use it to do more things, but it is not cheap." ”
Li Chaoren smiled bitterly again, "I want to have 5 billion, and I will go and buy Wheelock & Co. tomorrow! Keep your shares! If you don't mind, I hope Yin Sheng can help me at tomorrow's press conference." ”
"What's the variable?" asked Yin Jun, with his head in the jaw.
"Yes. Li Chaoren replied, "Jardine Matheson and Swire and other British-funded foreign companies are very dissatisfied with our Cheung Kong Industrial's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, and they have no way to fight against Mr. Shen Bi, so they want to cut off this business from the source...... That is, let Cheung Kong take the initiative to give up this business. If they own more than 30% of the shares, they can challenge the convening of a general meeting. ”
"But if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Li, do you have 62.1% of the shares in your hands?
"Although it accounts for 62.1%, it involves such a big matter, and the law stipulates that small and medium-sized shareholders have the right to convene a general meeting of shareholders to discuss. "67 percent is more than two-thirds of the vast majority, I don't have enough shares, if I want to reach 67 percent of the shares, I have to buy the remaining shares until 90 percent, and then the next step is to delist." ”
There are many similarities between the corporate equity laws of Hong Kong and the United Kingdom and the United States.
But they are more cautious than these European and American countries in terms of strictness.
For example, after a person holds 35% of the shares of a company, he must initiate a controlling acquisition until it exceeds 51%, otherwise you must reduce his holdings and cannot exceed this 35% share.
Similarly, if you go from 51% all the way up to more than two-thirds of 67%, then you have to make a second compulsory takeover, all the way up to 90%...... Then there is the privatization and delisting of course, and the stock market will not take you to play.
The second situation is now facing by Superman Lee.
Such regulations in the stock market are to better protect the interests of ordinary small shareholders, although it is not satisfactory, but at least it is trying to protect the interests of ordinary shareholders.
Therefore, Li Chaocai has to add 14.6% of the shares in Yin Jun's hands, so as to occupy the vast majority of opinions, so as to avoid the convening of the shareholders' meeting, which will drag on for ten days and a half months, causing more uncertainties.
"Okay, I can ask the manager of our company to go to the press conference, and she can represent me with full authority. Yin Jun said, "But I have a request. ”
"You say!" Li Chaoren nodded, he didn't expect to use Yin Jun's shares in vain, if Yin Jun cheered him for nothing, it would be a little strange.
Getting along with a hero like Li Chaoren, Yin Jun can't do it with the same way he gets along with his friends.
Everyone is a businessman, and businessmen are chasing profits, so it is natural to cooperate with each other and help each other for mutual benefit.
The so-called favors must be pushed in second place.
This is the basis for long-term cooperation.
"Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC each hold 2,364,780 shares of TVB, and I hope that after Mr. Li completes the integration of Hutchison Whampoa, he can not only sell me the shares of TVB in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa, but also help communicate with HSBC to buy the shares in their hands. ”
"It's okay on the Hutchison Whampoa side, I'll try my best on the HSBC side. Li Chaoren readily agreed.
He has never been interested in the entertainment industry, and this wireless TVB is originally a property that needs to be sold in the future, and it doesn't matter if he gives it to Yin Jun as a favor.
HSBC is also selling assets that are not part of the bank's main business, and TVB's stock is also a small matter for them, and Li Chaoren feels that he should be fine if he says it.
It's just that Li Chaoren is very careful in his life and work, and if he is not completely sure, of course he will not take care of everything.
"Then I wish Mr. Li a great show and fight for us Chinese!" Yin Jun said with a smile.
"Yin Sheng is too polite, I'm just now, after twenty years, you will definitely be better than me, you are the real genius of our Chinese!" Li Chaoren was not proud at all, but complimented Yin Jun.
On the one hand, his own personality doesn't like to be so flamboyant, and on the other hand, he really feels that the future of Yin Jun, a genius, is limitless.
Now thinking back to the last time he met Yin Jun, Li Chaoren felt that Yin Jun was hinting at something, as if he had already thought that he would attack Hutchison Whampoa.
If he hadn't heard what Yin Jun said a long time ago, he would have fully supported himself, Li Chaoren would definitely not have done it so steadily, and he would have come to Yin Jun only after settling the other relationships, but would have come to Yin Jun as soon as possible.
A 17-year-old who could have predicted a year ago and used a huge loan to swallow a 14.6% stake in Cheung Kong in one fell swoop, Li Chaoren thinks he can't take him too seriously.
Getting off the car, the faint evening breeze was blowing, and Yin Jun's mood was very happy.
When TVB was established in the 60s, a total of 10 million shares were issued, and the face value of one share at that time was 10 yuan, but now of course it has risen to seventy or eighty yuan, even if it is 100 yuan a share, some people are willing to take over.
Because the annual profit of wireless people is almost more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, although they are now besieged by Jiashi and ATV, but the confidence and heritage are still there, they are still the largest and best TV station in Xiangjiang, and the development potential is absolutely huge!
Yin Jun won the shares of TVB, of course, not to be the boss of TVB - although Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC together have reached about 47% of the shares, and they are definitely the largest shareholder of TVB.
If Yin Jun had just come to Xiangjiang now, then maybe he would still do it, but after a year and a half in Xiangjiang, he had already seen the whole situation very clearly.
If you become the owner of TVB, then it is definitely a strong alliance with TVB, which has strong human and material resources, or it will be possible to squeeze JiaTV and ATV to close down in less than two years, and then dominate the TV industry in Hong Kong.
Then, through TVB, it continued to cultivate talents, and actively entered the film industry in Xiangjiang, and directly squeezed Golden Harvest and the new art city that will appear next year to close down, monopolizing the film industry in Xiangjiang.
In this way, Yin Jun's cultural and entertainment empire has been initially realized.
Seems like such a good thing!
But!
Don't forget, Yin Jun's goal is to conquer the world, not to mention defeat Hollywood, at least to resist Hollywood.
If that's the case, what's the use of cultivating a group of actors and companies in Hong Kong that have no competitors?
The people of Xiangjiang are not Americans, and once they succeed, they are prone to losing motivation.
How TVB has declined in history is already a good example.
When they completely eliminated their old rival ATV, they had actually begun to gradually come to an end.
A company without competitors will not be able to develop for a long time, especially in a place like Xiangjiang.
With competitors, a TV station can burst out with spirit, strive to create good programs, cultivate good talents, and fight with opponents.
Isn't that what TVB is like now?
Yin Jun has not watched several TV series they have filmed recently, and he thinks they are very good.
Moreover, in the 80s and 90s, when Qiu Degen, Zheng Yutong, and Lin Baixin were in charge of ATV, wireless had strong opponents, and because of this, good shows were frequent?
Besides, after Yin Jun becomes the owner of TVB, will he be able to tolerate Shao Yifu?
No kidding!
None of them are all the way, how can they get along harmoniously?
Yin Jun absolutely admires Shao Yifu's dedication and selflessness in philanthropy, but if he is in business, it can't be like him, that is, he first brought Shaw Brothers movies to a dead end, and then brought TVB to the peak of decline.
Therefore, Yin Jun must have to open Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.
In this case, leaving the TV station under their control and no longer doing TV business, wouldn't it be a waste of their talent on TV?
Leaving them on TVB will not only allow Yin Jun's TV station to have a strong opponent in the future, so that he cannot relax, but also make everyone work together to bring the wonderful TV of Xiangjiang to Southeast Asia and even the world! Just like the 80s and 90s in the previous life!
In fact, many foreigners also like Chinese TV dramas.
It's not just the yellow race, but many Africans, Europeans, Middle Easterners, and South Americans also like it, and although it can't be said to be very popular, it will definitely be marketable.
This is still in the case of a single variety of TV dramas in the mainland in the future, if you do TV dramas in Xiangjiang, there are no such restrictions at all, as long as you maintain basic morality and bottom line, what TV series can't be done?
As long as you can make money, are you afraid that the people of Xiangjiang will rush to make TV dramas one after another?
There are more talents, and everyone is brainstorming, but are you worried about not being able to do more TV series?
Therefore, TVB Yin Jun can't ask for it, and he wasn't ready to ask for it from the beginning.
This part of the shares, Yin Jun took it, and it was of another use.
