Chapter 333 Negotiations and Shots (Daily Change 12,000~)
As the boss of ATV, Qiu Degen naturally knew Wu Jianye. When Wu Jianye came to Hong Kong, Qiu Degen specially sent someone to invite Wu Jianye to ATV for an exclusive interview.
As a result, Wu Jianye went to Wireless, and then Fengge Entertainment signed a theater leasing contract with Shaw Brothers.
"Mr. Qiu, I'm sorry to welcome you from afar!" Wu Jianye smiled and shook hands with Qiu Degen.
Although Qiu Degen was curious that Wu Jianye would appear here, he still had the demeanor he should have, "Wu Sheng, I really didn't expect to see you here. Are you also here to meet Mr. Zhou of Yaoguang Group?"
"
Obviously Qiu Degen did not regard Wu Jianye as the representative of Yaoguang Group, but thought that Wu Jianye came to visit Zhou Tao.
"Mr. Qiu, please take a seat first." Wu Jianye said, giving up his seat, and then ordered Zhou Tao's secretary standing next to him, "Lili, go get Mr. Qiu a cup of coffee!"
"Yes, Wu Sheng!" Lili replied respectfully, and then walked out of the reception room.
Seeing this, Qiu Degen's eyes became more confused, "It seems that I was mistaken. It is said that the relationship between Wu Sheng and Mr. Zhou is unusual. It seems that the reputation is well-deserved."
Wu Jianye sat across from Qiu Degen and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiu, I invite you to come here this time. Actually, Yaoguang Group has a business that they want to discuss with Mr. Qiu."
Qiu Degen's eyes lit up. Now everyone knows that Yaoguang Group is a new upstart in Hong Kong. If it can cooperate with Yaoguang Group, Qiu Degen's Far East Group will greatly enhance its influence in Hong Kong, and even
It may help Far East Bank get out of its current predicament.
However, as a veteran in the business world, Qiu Degen obviously understood that there is no free lunch in this world, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked as calmly as water: "I wonder what Yaoguang Group wants to cooperate with our Far East Group?"
of."
"Mr. Qiu, you also know that our Yaoguang Group is just an emerging group that has just been established. It has only been in Xiangjiang for a few years. There are many things that we have to learn from seniors like Mr. Qiu!"
Qiu Degen looked at Wu Jianye silently, waiting for him to continue telling his plans.
"In Xiangjiang, our Yaoguang Group has always lacked a professional bank as its partner. After many investigations, our Yaoguang Group is ready to use Far East Bank as one of our Yaoguang Group's cooperative banks in Hong Kong....
..."
Qiu Degen couldn't calm down after all this time. This is really what he thinks. Why has Far East Bank never been able to become a first-class commercial bank in Hong Kong? It's because most of its partners are old haters from the New Territories, who are the mainstream of Hong Kong's business community.
There is no status at all in the circle.
Naturally, there is also a lack of experience in cooperating with top financial groups in Hong Kong. This is why whenever a bank run wave occurs in Hong Kong, small and medium-sized banks like them will be the most dangerous.
Because they do not have a strong backer to rely on, so that the people of Xiangjiang can trust them.
Take a look at Hang Seng Bank in Hong Kong. It is precisely because they are backed by HSBC, the largest bank in Hong Kong, that they have always been the most powerful bank among the Chinese banks in Hong Kong. Or the Bank of East Asia. Their shareholders are the old wealthy families in Hong Kong, the Jian family.
, Feng family, Li family, this is why Bank of East Asia rarely has problems.
As for Qiu Degen's Far East Bank, it was only supported by the Qiu family, and Qiu Degen's strength could not be compared with those of the previous ones, so naturally it never became big.
Just as Qiu Degen thought just now, if the Far East Bank can reach a cooperation with the upstart Yaoguang Group in Hong Kong, it will also indirectly tell the citizens of Hong Kong that the Far East Bank is trustworthy enough.
This will be of great help to enhance the reputation of Far East Bank in Hong Kong.
However, Qiu Degen didn't think that this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing could fall on his head for no reason.
"Wu Sheng, according to the current status of Yaoguang Group in Xiangjiang, I believe that even HSBC will actively cooperate with it. I think Yaoguang Group will not cooperate with our Far East Bank for no reason, right?"
"Mr. Qiu is indeed a sensible person. One of the most important industries of our Yaoguang Group in Hong Kong is the media industry in Xiangjiang, and Mr. Qiu happens to have a TV station in his hands that our Yaoguang Group has long admired...
..”
"This is impossible, ATV cannot be sold!" Qiu Degen flatly refused.
He did not expect that Yaoguang Group would actually take a fancy to his own ATV. Although ATV has been losing money in the past two years, Qiu Degen has no intention of giving up ATV and becoming a TV station. This is not only his idea, but also his deceased wife's long-cherished wish.
He would not give up ATV unless he had to.
Originally, Qiu Degen believed that Yaoguang Group wanted to take a stake in Far East Bank. If this was the case, with his prestige in Far East Bank, even if Yaoguang Group took a stake in Far East Bank, Far East Bank would be firmly controlled by him.
in hand, but now Yaoguang Group’s target is actually ATV...
"Mr. Qiu, you don't have to be so hasty to reject our Yaoguang Group's kindness. According to our Yaoguang Group's investigation, we know that ATV has lost more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars so far this year. At the same time, because of the bank trust that broke out in overseas trust banks,
During the crisis, Far East Bank is just struggling to support itself. If depositors of Far East Bank know about ATV's losses, I think it will not be good news for Far East Bank..."
In fact, the Far East Group has not yet reached the point where it is at the end of its rope.
What really dealt a heavy blow to ATV was the 1988 battle between ATV and TVB regarding the live broadcast of the Olympic Games.
Prior to this, the live broadcast of the Olympic Games in Hong Kong had always been jointly broadcast by ATV and Wireless. However, in 1988, Qiu Degen took a new approach and found the Olympic Organizing Committee to change the live broadcast of the Olympic Games to ATV alone.
broadcast.
Later, TVB took ATV to court. With his strong influence in Hong Kong, Sir Shao won the lawsuit and gave Qiu Degen a painful blow!
This allowed Qiu Degen to finally sell his shares in ATV to Zheng Yutong and Lin Boxin and withdraw from ATV.
The reason why Wu Jianye proposed to acquire ATV now was that he was not sure whether he would be able to compete with Zheng Yutong and Lin Boxin, two established rich men in Hong Kong, by 1988.
The second is that he does not want ATV to over-consume the people of Xiangjiang in the past two years. If ATV leaves the audience with the impression that it has always been inferior to TVB, even after Wu Jianye accepts ATV, it will take a long time.
to make up for such losses.
Qiu Degen looked at Wu Jianye with uncertain eyes: "Is Wu Sheng threatening me, Mr. Qiu?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course not, I am just discussing the future possibilities of Far East Bank with Mr. Qiu. I think that no matter how important ATV is, it should not be as important as Far East Bank's position in Mr. Qiu's heart. This plan
If it succeeds, it will be a win-win situation for both of us. If it fails, there will actually be no loss for Yaoguang Group. If it doesn't work, Yaoguang Group can still build satellite TV in Xiangjiang...
."
"Is this your own meaning, Wu Sheng, or is it the meaning of Yaoguang Group?" Qiu Degen asked.
Wu Jianye: "I can represent Yaoguang Group!"
Qiu Degen continued to ask expressionlessly: "I wonder in what form Yaoguang Group is planning to cooperate with Far East Bank?"
This does not mean that Qiu Degen has agreed to Wu Jianye's request, but that he needs to see Wu Jianye's trump card clearly and weigh the pros and cons.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Yaoguang Group can sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Far East Bank and hand over all banking business in real estate under Yaoguang Group to Far East Bank!"
Qiu Degen's eyes lit up. Anyone with a business vision knows that the real estate industry in Xiangjiang will definitely be the most profitable industry in the future. Although Yaoguang Group's real estate business is not as dazzling as Fengge Entertainment, it has great potential.
But it is better and stronger than Fengge Entertainment.
"It cannot be a separate real estate business. It must be added to Yaoguang Group's Jinxiu Garments and Hanshui Beverages!" Qiu Degen said.
Wu Jianye's eyes, which had always been calm, also showed a slight fluctuation. People who can create billions of wealth from scratch are indeed not ordinary people.
Qiu Degen did not want to cooperate with Fengge Entertainment, nor did he want to cooperate with Yu Zhi Investment. Instead, he chose Jinxiu Clothing and Hanshui Beverage, whose main business was in China.
Obviously Qiu Degen is also eyeing the influence of these two companies in the country. If he can cooperate with these two companies, it means that Qiu Degen's Far East Bank will have direct business dealings with the country, so there will be
Help Far East Bank enter the domestic market.
Although the country is still very poor, there are piles of sand and the domestic population base is too huge. If it can enter the domestic banking market, Far East Bank will become one of the most promising banks in Hong Kong.
However, Wu Jianye also had his own plan and said with a smile: "It is impossible for these two companies. I respect Mr. Qiu as a senior in the business world, so the conditions just proposed are all the conditions of Yaoguang Group. It cannot be like this again."
Add any additional terms based on this.”
Qiu Degen didn't take Wu Jianye's words to heart. Negotiations, negotiations, there were comings and goings, and there was never any negotiation where all the terms were hammered down.
Then the two of them went back and forth and talked in a heated manner all afternoon. Until Qiu Degen walked out of Yaoguang Group, no specific result was reached.
Neither Qiu Degen nor Wu Jianye is in a hurry about this. Everyone knows that this will be a difficult and long-term negotiation. It depends on who loses his composure first.
However, just when Qiu Degen thought that the subsequent negotiations were still very long, a piece of news suddenly broke out in Hong Kong Island Daily, a humble newspaper in Hong Kong.
"ATV! A bottomless pit with no bottom!"
Although the title is shocking, the content of the article does not contain too many words to arouse emotions. Instead, it lists a series of data. Since Li's was acquired by Qiu Degen and renamed ATV, its annual losses have basically exceeded 100 million.
...
The emergence of this news gave Qiu Degen, who was already suffering from a crisis of trust in banks, a big headache again. Far East Bank also formed a long queue at this time. If this matter is not dealt with in time, the crisis of Far East Bank will
It is very likely to break out in advance.
Qiu Degen was sitting in his office, smoking cigars one after another.
"Daddy, this must be the work of Yaoguang Group!" Qiu Degen's son Qiu Dachang said dissatisfied.
Qiu Degen said helplessly: "Even if we know that Yaoguang Group did it, what can we do?"
He knew that Yaoguang Group was waiting for him to make a choice, whether to protect Far East Bank or ATV!
Finally, Qiu Degen reluctantly picked up the phone and called the general manager's office of Yaoguang Group...
Subsequently, Far East Group and Yaoguang Group sent a negotiation team of dozens of people to start formal negotiations.
At this time, Pan Disheng, Chen Wenlun, and Xie Wanqing, who had been preparing to plot against Wu Jianye, also met Liu Feng. No one knew what they talked about.
But when Liu Feng returned to Fengge Entertainment headquarters, he issued an order to suspend all filming tasks of Gong Ying. At the same time, in the name of Fengge Entertainment, Gong Ying was assigned a drama as the director of this drama.
When the script fell into Gong Ying's hands, Gong Ying was confused.
Because this drama is a salty and wet film from Xiangjiang...
Naturally Wu Jianye also saw this script.
"Sister Yin, don't worry, I will handle this matter." Wu Jianye stroked Gong Yin's hair and comforted him, but there was a sharp look in his eyes.
He didn't believe that Liu Feng alone had such courage. All Liu Feng's previous actions were just to show off his status in Fengge Entertainment. He didn't want to be managed by the unjust and unjust Supreme Emperor anymore, and wanted to take the initiative.
.
But now that he has set his target on Gong Yin, the matter has become complicated. Even though he relies on his position in Fengge Entertainment and knows about his relationship with Zhou Tao, a struggle for power and profit may occur, but this
He still wouldn't dare to do such a bully thing.
Now he did just that.
After appeasing Gong Ying, Wu Jianye called Yan Wen to the villa.
"How is the investigation going?"
"It has been found out clearly that Liu Feng has indeed enriched himself within the company."
"Very good. Since he wants to die, I will dig a hole for him. By the way, I will investigate who Liu Feng has met in the past two days. I want to know all the itinerary of the past few days." Wu Jianye said.
"OK."
Two days later, Wu Jianye got Yan Wen's report.
When Wu Jianye saw Pan Disheng, Chen Wenlun, and Xie Wanqing, he showed a look of understanding.
In other words, Liu Feng must have had the support of Pan Desheng, Chen Wenlun, and Xie Wanqing to have the courage, but he didn't know whether these three people represented their families or themselves.
As for Liu Feng, he did get the promise of the three. The three promised that Liu Feng would just follow their instructions. After the matter was over, the three would jointly fund the establishment of a new film company, with Liu Feng at the helm and giving Liu Feng a certain amount of credit.
