Lin Ming smiled, shook hands with Li Jin, and said, "Although I have never heard of you before, in the past few days, Zhenzhou has been talking about you."
From the names, Li Jin knew that Huo Zhenzhou and Lin Ming had a good personal relationship.
After chatting and joking for a while, Li Jin said: "Director Lin, Uncle Huo is here, so I will tell you without hesitation that your Huanyu Pictures will be packaged and sold, and I am interested in buying it."
Lin Ming glanced at Huo Zhenzhou, then smiled at Li Jin and said: "It is indeed for sale, but the price is frankly not low, and I have no plans to lower the price."
Although Lin Ming has a gentle and elegant temperament, he is also very easy-going in conversation.
But in business, Lin Ming is not an easy boss to talk about in building Huanyu International into such a large group.
"It is an indisputable fact that the film industry in Hong Kong City is in decline. If Director Lam's asking price is too high, it will be difficult to find a sincere buyer like me."
Li Jin was not taken advantage of, so it was impossible for Lin Ming to give him as much as he said, so his counteroffer was not polite.
Lin Ming said calmly: "But Huanyu Pictures is the highest-quality asset in the industry. This is an indisputable fact. If, Jin, you plan to enter the entertainment industry, how much effort will it take to build such a company from scratch?"
"If I didn't recognize Huanyu Pictures as a high-quality asset, I wouldn't be in front of Director Lin today." Li Jin chuckled.
Lin Ming smiled, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Huanyu Pictures is my hard work, and selling it is a helpless move. There is no need to discuss the price."
When Li Jin heard this, he said calmly: "In that case, let's just not talk about it."
After saying that, Li Jin turned around and left.
This crisp and decisive decision made not only Lin Ming stunned, but also Huo Zhenzhou a little surprised.
How can anyone discuss business like this and just turn around and leave as soon as they disagree.
This tough stance seemed like it was not Li Jin who wanted to buy Huanyu Pictures, but Lin Ming who was begging him.
"Ajin, wait."
Huo Zhenzhou didn't interrupt from beginning to end. He was just an intermediary in this transaction, responsible for smoothing things over. Seeing that the negotiation was about to collapse, he called out to Li Jin.
A waiter happened to pass by with a tray. Huo Zhenzhou took three glasses of red wine and gave them to Li Jin and Lin Ming. He took a sip himself and then said with a smile: "In business, naturally everyone takes a step back. A Ming, you are
Senior, please give me an attitude first."
Lin Ming frowned and said: "I don't actually have to sell cash, other equity and the like can also be sold."
"What if it's news that can prevent Huanyi International from losing 40% of its market value?" Li Jin suddenly asked.
Lin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, he stared at Li Jin solemnly and said, "Young student, do you know what you are talking about?"
Huo Zhenzhou's expression was also somewhat serious.
In the business world, Li Jin's words were not just rude, but directly offensive.
In later generations, Huanyu International, which shifted its focus to the capital and financial industry, happened to encounter the bursting of the Internet bubble, and it suffered heavy losses at the end of 2000.
Li Jin recalled everything about Huanyu International in his memory, and said calmly: "The bursting of the Internet economic bubble has already begun in the West. It could be as fast as a week, or as slow as half a month. Something will happen to Huanyu International.
Most of today’s investments are in Internet companies, right?”
Lin Ming was shocked.
"Do you dare to take responsibility for what you say?" Lin Ming said sternly.
Li Jin glanced at Huo Zhenzhou and said calmly: "If Director Lin doesn't believe it, I can bet 1 billion against you."
Lin Ming suddenly laughed and said: "No need to bet, I can sell Huanyi International to you for 1.5 billion, but you have to agree to one condition."
