Because Japan's "National Land Law" has not yet been promulgated, Chu Huan does not want to acquire Nikkatsu at this time, but he must collect information about Nikkatsu.

In addition, if he were to acquire Nikkatsu himself, there would definitely be some twists and turns, so after careful consideration, Chu Huan decided to investigate the situation of Nikkatsu first, and then leave the specific acquisition to Nomura Securities.

"Daily life?"

The situation of Nikkatsu immediately came to Tetsuo Okumura's mind. Although Nikkatsu is one of the four major studios in Japan, its market value is not very high, with a market value of almost 24.3 billion yen.

If you want to achieve a controlling shareholding, you will need at least 12.5 billion yen!

The company is not big, but it is big business!

"No problem. When I return to the company, I will immediately ask people from the company's finance department to collect daily activity information!"

Tetsuo Okumura preached to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but this is the only thing."

"Please rest assured Chu Sang, I promise it will not be leaked!" Tetsuo Okumura understood what Chu Huan wanted to say!

Chu Huan showed a satisfied smile.

After the two things were said, Okumura Tetsuo stood up and left. Originally, Okumura Tetsuo wanted to invite Chu Huan to have dinner with him in the evening, but Chu Huan refused.

After Tetsuo Okumura left, Qin Peng came over.

"Master Huan, Mr. Chen and Azu called and said they wanted to come over!"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Let the two of them come over!"

"Um!"

About an hour later, Chen Haichao and Ma Jizu arrived at the manor.

"Okay, Brother Huan, how did you find this place? It's so beautiful!" After Chen Haichao walked into the study here, he exaggeratedly said to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan joked, "Just take a look, be careful if it gets stuck in your eyes and you won't be able to pull it out."

At this time, apart from Chu Huan, Chen Haichao, and Ma Jizu, only Wu Xiaoshi was left in the study. The other members of the secretarial team were still translating magazines for Chu Huan, and were unaware of the arrival of Chen Haichao and Ma Jizu.

Among the people in the secretarial department, apart from Xu Yi who knew about Chen Haichao, only Wu Xiaoshi knew about it.

"No, I have to work hard on Kyushu. I will also buy a manor like this in Japan in the future!" Chen Haichao said seriously.

Chu Huan said, "You can have this."

After laughing, Chen Haichao began to report to Chu Huan their progress during this period.

"The shooting of the commercial has been completed, and Dentsu is currently doing post-production work. We have communicated with them, and the time will definitely be able to match the launch of jj-001 on April 1st!"

The launch time of Kyushu Home Video Recorder in Japan has been set, it will be on the 1st of next month, and the time to match it will naturally be the time when the advertisement will appear on major TV stations.

Of course, the promotion of Kyushu home video recorders has already begun at this time. In major commercial buildings in Japan, there are already posters of Kyushu home video recorders in advertising spaces!

Chu Huan asked, "How is brother's audio and video?"

Chu Huan had discussed it with Chen Haichao before, although Jiuzhou VCR already had sales channels in Japan through Panasonic and Li & Fung.

But you still need to establish your own sales channels.

Brother Audio and Video is the sales channel for Jiuzhou home video recorders.

Chen Haichao scratched his head and said, "The time is a bit tight. There is only less than a month left before the listing. It is really difficult to win them all!"

"If there is a problem, solve it, but we cannot delay the opening of Brother Video in Japan. We must at least ensure that there is a flagship store in a major city in Japan!"

Although Chu Huan knew that such a request was a bit overwhelming, it was related to Kyushu's first shot in Japan, and Chu Huan had to ensure that there would be no problems in every aspect!

It is impossible for Brother Audio and Video to be just a small store like Xiangjiang, especially since Brother Audio and Video will add products such as Walkman and Famicom in the future, but it cannot go wrong!

Chen Haichao said fiercely, "Brother Huan, don't worry, I promise to complete the task on time!"

This matter was not something that Chu Huan and Chen Haichao decided to do after they came to Tokyo. Instead, they had already had this plan when they were in Xiangjiang. However, at that time, Chu Huan just asked Chen Haichao to go to various places in Japan first.

I found a good place in a major city, but I didn't tell Chen Haichao about the specific plan until I arrived in Japan.

The real difficulties first are the decoration time and the recruitment of personnel. Among them, the most important personnel issue is the logistics service people.

These people have to carry out their own work while receiving guidance from Kyushu staff.

Chu Huan comforted Chen Haichao and said, "It's not that I'm forcing you on this matter, but for us now, time is the most important thing."

The first advantage of Kyushu's home video recorders in Japan is actually that it is ahead of Sony in terms of time, so if it does not seize this advantage, it would be a crime for Kyushu!

Chen Haichao nodded and said, "I understand!"

Chen Haichao then continued to report to Chu Huanhui, "In addition, people from the company have begun to contact the five major film production companies in Japan. They are still somewhat interested in selling the video copyrights of their company's films. Among them, Kadokawa and Shochiku

They have agreed to package the movie and video tape rights in their movie library and sell them to us for 3.8 billion yen and 5.4 billion yen respectively!"

That’s HKD 10,000!

It's a bit high, but it's acceptable. After all, Japan is the first market to come into contact with home video recorders.

But Chu Huan believes that as long as the video tape is on the market, the money will be withdrawn as quickly as possible. It is a bit high but compared to the current market, it is not that the market value is high!

"However, they did not agree to sell us the copyright for their latest film that was being prepared and released!" Chen Haichao said with some disappointment.

After hearing this, Chu Huan was a little disappointed, but she also understood that this was for sure. After all, all movie companies now focus on box office revenue.

It's just that if you can't get it now, you won't have the chance to get it in the future. When the movie video tapes are launched, these film production companies will quickly see the market for movie video tapes. By then, they will definitely not buy the copyright, but will

Sell ​​it yourself.

In this case, there is only one OEM option left in Kyushu.

"What about Dongying, Dongbao, and Daily Life?" Chu Huan asked.

Chen Haichao replied, "Toei rejected us directly. It should have signed a contract with Sony, while Toho and Nikkatsu are still waiting and watching!"

Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Conquer Dongbao with all your strength. As for daily activities, you can put it aside for now!"

Chu Huan is planning to acquire Nikkatsu. If the video tape business is added, Nikkatsu's stock price will definitely rise, which will not be conducive to Chu Huan's acquisition of Nikkatsu.

"Okay!" Chen Haichao replied seriously.

"How is the contact with the major TV stations in Japan?" Chu Huan began to care about the next question.

Movies are just one of the video rental items. Chu Huan will definitely not let Brother Audio and Video give up on animations and TV series.

Chen Haichao laughed and said, "The six major TV stations in Japan have signed contracts with us. It is obvious that they are not very optimistic about the emerging video tape market!"

There are six television stations in Japan, namely K, a state-owned public media, and five private television stations including Nippon Television, tb, TV Asahi, Fuji TV, and TV Tokyo.

Then Chen Haichao told Chu Huan the contents of the signed contract. Among them, the video copyright for K's TV series and animations was 500 million yen, and the copyright fees for the other five TV stations were 300 million yen!

This is pure robbery!

Chu Huan became more and more satisfied. It seemed that the 70-person negotiation team brought by Chen Haichao really worked.

Chen Haichao is mainly responsible for negotiations with Japanese manufacturers, while the others are responsible for different negotiations and affairs.

"News has also come from Kelly's side. Hollywood's Universal, MGM, Columbia and some European film companies have also signed copyright contracts. Remember to call back to Xiangjiang and let the factories in Xiangjiang absolutely

We can’t delay the sales here!”

Chu Huan preached to Chen Haichao.

In the video tape market, Chu Huan is attacking in an all-round way. It is not limited to Japan, but operates all over the world at the same time.

Now in North America, Kelly has sent people to start contacting them about store leasing!

Jiuzhou's home video recorder and video tape retail and rental business is Chu Huan's first global simultaneous business plan.

For this reason, Chu Huan specially allocated the total profit of 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars from youth toys in the four months of last year, January and February this year to Jiuzhou.

This does not include the previous costs of building factories and research and development in Jiuzhou.

The largest expenditure of this cost is actually to establish branches in Japan and North America and to lease or purchase stores, as well as to open sales channels and expand the scale of factory production.

This is only the initial cost. After Jiuzhou's home video recorders are actually launched, Chu Huan has already discussed the early profits with Chen Haichao and will still pay them to Jiuzhou's account and continue to use them to develop his own channels.

Chen Haichao said, "Okay, I will call Xiangjiang later. In addition, Hitachi has also agreed to join our v-format manufacturing. With Hitachi joining, I am not going to take the initiative to find other manufacturers.

Now our four manufacturers, Kyushu, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Hitachi, are enough to cope with the global video recorder market."

Chu Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"

It is earlier than Sony in terms of time, and its sales model is more flexible and changeable than JVC in another time and space. Chu Huan thinks this is indeed okay.

Chen Haichao nodded and said, "In addition, the company's headquarters in the port area has been renovated. Brother Huan, do you want to go and take a look?"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Before the relationship between us is made public, don't worry!"

Chen Haichao nodded and said, "Okay!"

After Chen Haichao reported to Chu Huan, Ma Jizu also began to report to Chu Huan on their work progress during this period.

After arriving in Japan, in addition to cooperating with Chen Haichao's negotiations in Japan, Chu Huan assigned Ma Jizu four tasks. The first one was to find Nozaki Yusuke, and this matter has been resolved.

The second is to send people to Italy or Switzerland to find Andres Pafo to purchase the copyright of the portable music device and apply for patents worldwide.

Ma Jizu said, "We have found the person and bought the copyright. Now we have entrusted a company to handle patent applications to start applying for global patents!"

Applying for a global patent definitely takes time, and there is basically not a year before you don’t have to think about it.
