Now that he has set his sights on Japan's film industry, Chu Huan naturally wants to ask about the content of Japan's film industry.
At this time, Chu Huan had returned to Okura Hotel, and Bai Xiaoman got on a plane and returned to Xiangjiang alone a day ago.
After what happened to Nozaki Kosuke, I hope Bai Xiaoman will put her eyes brighter in the future and avoid running into scumbags when looking for men.
On the other side, the negotiations between Chen Haichao and others finally achieved some results, and Toshiba agreed to join the production of v-format home video recorders.
Of course, the incident investigated by Ma Jizu played a role in this. Now Chen Haichao and others have started negotiations with Hitachi.
In fact, at this time, together with Panasonic, which had been agreed before, the output of these three companies was more than enough to meet the needs of the initial market for home video recorders. However, in order to increase the influence of the v format, they had to win over another manufacturer.
On the other side, Sony has also received this news, and has suddenly felt a sense of crisis. It has announced internally that it will speed up the testing of the machine and strive to launch it as soon as possible.
In other words, from now on, the market competition between Kyushu and Sony for home video recorders has begun.
Naturally, Chen Haichao and others are not just doing this one thing. Since Japan will become an important market in the primary stage of Kyushu, they will naturally set up branches here.
In a first-class office building in Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kyushu Electric Japan Branch was established.
However, it is being renovated now. During the recruitment period, Ma Jizu also prepared a list for Chen Haichao. Among them are people who have proven themselves in this industry in Japan but are frustrated at this time. The Japanese branch can try it.
connect.
The first thing when the branch was established was to contact Dentsu Advertising Company, the largest advertising company in Japan, and cooperate with it to hand over the advertising business of Kyushu home video recorder jj-001 throughout Japan.
Dentsu Advertising Company was founded in 1901. In 1973, its turnover had become the first among single advertising companies in the world, while Hakuhodo, the second-ranked advertising company in Japan, only had one-third of Dentsu's.
Kyushu Electric only determined the content of jj-001's first TV commercial, as well as the advertising heroine Keiko Matsuzaka, and left all the rest of the advertising formats to Dentsu.
For Dentsu's requirements, Kyushu Electric has only one requirement, and it is necessary to let every Japanese people see the jj-001 product!
For this purpose, Kyushu Electric paid Dentsu 5.3 billion yen, equivalent to 10 million Hong Kong dollars!
In addition, this does not include the endorsement fees of the advertising heroine Keiko Matsuzaka and the hero Ken Takakura!
It can be said that in order to open up the Japanese market this time, Kyushu Electric has definitely spent a lot of money.
After determining the content of the advertisement and the male and female protagonists, Dentsu immediately started shooting the advertisement according to the script of Kyushu Electric's first TV commercial.
Because the content of the advertisement was a story that took place in the evening, Matsuzaka Keiko was not with Chu Huan in the hotel at this time.
Chu Huan was actually not idle either. He was watching the situation in the Japanese film market in the hotel at this time.
There was no need for Ma Jizu to investigate this kind of thing. He called Fang Jianhui, and Black and White Video immediately faxed Chu Huan the general situation of the Japanese film market.
The operating situation of Japanese Film Company is basically similar to that of Xiangjiang. It is also a company that integrates production, distribution and exhibition.
The 1950s and 1960s were the heyday of Japanese films. At that time, there were five large film companies in Japan, namely Toei, Toho, Nikkatsu, Shochiku, and Daiei.
Shin Toho, which became famous in later generations, had not yet been founded at this time.
Among them, Daiei has closed down, but now there are rumors in the Japanese film industry that Japan's Tokuma Bookstore is contacting Daiei. If it can get the support of Japan's Tokuma Bookstore, Daiei is likely to come back to life.
Tokuma Bookstore is not a bookstore in the literal sense, but a very large publishing house, which also has movies, records, newspapers and other businesses.
However, people in his hometown are most familiar with the fact that Tokuma Yasuki, the owner of Tokuma Bookstore, was Hayao Miyazaki's boss and later invested in Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli.
The largest film company in Japan now is Toei Co., Ltd.
Toei Co., Ltd., founded in 1949, is now Japan's largest commercial film shooting company. In addition, Japan's first full-length color film animation "White Snake" is a work of Toei Animation, a subsidiary of Toei Co., Ltd.
In addition, Toei Co., Ltd. is also one of the founders and major shareholders of Japan Television Asahi.
Like Black and White Pictures and Shaw Brothers, Toei Co., Ltd. also has its own studio, called Taiqin Film Village, which is mostly used for shooting costume films.
Finally, the cooperative company of black and white imaging in Japan is Toei Co., Ltd.
There is no possibility of acquisition of this company
After reading Toei's information, Chu Huan sighed and put it aside. Now that he knew that the situation of Japan's film industry was similar to that of Hong Kong, Chu Huan's previous idea of setting up a separate theater chain was no longer the case.
It's possible.
If that happens, it will most likely be jointly targeted by several other major film companies in Japan.
After all, Chu Huan only had Xiangjiang movies in his hands at this time, and it was difficult to support the Japanese movie theater chain. The most important thing was to rely on Japanese movies.
Then Chu Huan started watching the Japanese film company Toho Co., Ltd.!
Toho Co., Ltd. was founded in 1932, but at that time it was called Tokyo Takarazuka Theater Co., Ltd. You can tell from the name that this film company first made its fortune in movie theaters.
In addition, in 1943, Tokyo Takara Theater merged with Toho Film Company, which also completed the high degree of unification of Toho in all fields of production, distribution, and exhibition.
Akira Kurosawa is from Toho Co., Ltd. In addition, when Japan's Fuji TV station was launched, Toho was also one of the main initiators.
So there is no hope for this company.
The next thing Chu Huan looked at was Shochiku Co., Ltd., the film company where Matsuzaka Keiko currently works.
As early as 1895, one of the founders of Shochiku Co., Ltd., Otani Takejiro, was running a theater business in Kyoto. In 1920, Shochiku Co., Ltd. was formally established. The bosses were brothers Shirai Shojiro and Otani Takejiro.
The name is also taken from one of the names of these two people.
In addition to movies, Shochiku began his business in theater performances when he started his business.
Kabuki, opera, cross talk, symphony, etc. are all areas Shochiku is involved in.
Japan's famous performing arts venues such as Kabukiza in Tokyo and Shijo Minamiza in Kyoto were created and owned by Shochiku.
Shochiku once participated in the establishment of Fuji TV together with other major film studios, and later established several satellite TV channels on its own to broadcast dramas and home-made movies and TV series.
Basically, he participated in the film company founded by Japan Television. At this time, Chu Huan had no hope of getting it, so Chu Huan of Shochiku Co., Ltd. now understands that he has no such hope.
Then there is Kadokawa Pictures Co., Ltd. If Chu Huan paid attention to the Japanese film market earlier, he might have hoped to acquire this company, because Kadokawa Pictures was in crisis in 1971, but at that time Chu Huan was just reborn.
Even if you want to get it, there is not that much hope.
In the end, it was Tokuma Shoten who came forward to acquire Kadokawa Pictures. Now it is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to acquire this company.
The last thing left is daily life.
In fact, this film company has some connections with Hong Kong, because in another time and space, the Carnegie Group, the protagonist of the biggest fraud in Hong Kong's business history in the 1970s and 1980s, once acquired the shares of Nikkatsu 21 and became Nikkatsu.
One of the major shareholders.
According to the information that Fang Jianhui sent to Chu Huan, Nikkatsu has two important assets. One is that Nikkatsu has 400 cinemas under its name. Although the number is huge, the scale of individual cinemas is relatively average.
This number reached 428 in 1980, when Carinon acquired Nikko.
The second is that Nikko has a lot of land reserves in Japan!
However, what Chu Huan is most satisfied with is that Nikko in Japan does not have such a large parent company or assets like the previous companies. The most important thing is that Nikko is an ordinary listed company, which for Chu Huan
That's pretty reliable.
By the way, the reason why Zhang Bearded's martial arts drama was able to enter Japan was through cooperation with X Company, a subsidiary of Nikkatsu. Let's talk about one more thing. My hometown's main theme TV series "Proof of Memory" was also introduced to Japan by this company.
One more thing by the way, Nikkatsu is also the only one of the four major film companies in Japan that is involved in Japanese action blockbusters.
After reading the information of these film companies, Chu Huan basically made his own judgment in his mind. In fact, Chu Huan had no better choice but to choose daily life!
As for what Jia Ning will do later? That's not Chu Huan's concern.
After determining the target, Chu Huan decided to go to the Tokyo Stock Exchange tomorrow to check out the situation of Nikkatsu. The possibility of a wholly-owned acquisition should not be too great, but it should not be a big problem to achieve a controlling stake.
Seeing that it was almost the time before Matsusaka Keiko came back, Chu Huan put these information in the safe in the room. Although the two of them had begun to see each other candidly, it did not mean that Chu Huan wanted Matsuzaka Keiko to know about him.
of these business plans.
Not long after Chu Huan put the files away, Matsusaka Keiko came back from filming the commercial.
The next day, Chu Huan, accompanied by Morina Shinkawa, arrived at the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Nihonbashi Kabuto-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Osaka Stock Exchange and the Nagoya Stock Exchange are collectively known as the three major stock exchanges in Japan.
The trading floor of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was closed on April 30, 1999, and all were converted to electronic trading, and the new floor was opened on May 9, 2009.
Shinkawa Morina followed Chu Huan with a strange expression. Although Chu Huan did not use her as a tour guide in the past two days, when Shinkawa Marina went to the hotel to find Chu Huan today, she saw Matsuzaka Keiko who was staying in Chu Huan's room.
After that, I was still very surprised.
I don’t understand why Matsuzaka Keiko and Chu Huan live together.
However, Chu Huan did not explain, so it was naturally difficult for Shinkawa Molina to ask.
Chu Huan was naturally aware of Shinkawa Morina's curiosity, but he didn't take it to heart. At this time, Chu Huan had already focused on the company Nikkatsu.
Looking at the situation of the company and the stock price, Chu Huan calculated that the market value of the company at this time should be around 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In other words, if Chu Huan wants to achieve the daily activity of a controlling shareholder, he must ensure that he has 300 million Hong Kong dollars in cash to operate this matter.
Stock markets all over the world are like this. If Chu Huan acquires Nikkatsu's shares through normal channels, it will inevitably cause Nikkatsu's stock price to rise.
And if Chu Huan wants to buy Nikkatsu shares from a major shareholder, the other party will definitely open his mouth.
"Mr. Chu, do you want to invest in the securities market?"
Seeing Chu Huan staring at the blackboard in the trading hall, Shinkawa Morina asked Chu Huan curiously.
Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, I just want to take a look!"
Chu Huan can definitely afford the 300 million Hong Kong dollars, but if the 300 million Hong Kong dollars are used in this place, it will definitely affect Chu Huan's subsequent plans in other places.
This is not what Chu Huan wants to see.
Moreover, Chu Huan has not yet determined whether he will use his identity as Black and White to acquire shares in Nikkatsu, or whether he will acquire shares in Nikkatsu in the name of an investment company.
Chu Huan spent the whole morning at the exchange, not only watching the stock fluctuations of Nikko, but also the stock fluctuations of some other companies.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan will definitely not worry about those internationally renowned companies in Japan. After all, these large consortiums all hold cross-shareholdings with each other, and it is impossible to achieve full control.
, unless Chu Huan is determined to attack the stocks of one of the consortiums alone.
But this may attract the attention of Japanese officials, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Then Chu Huan left the Tokyo Stock Exchange and asked Morina Shinkawa to buy a copy of all the newspapers available in the Tokyo market on the way, not only the ones of the day, but also some of the newspapers from some time ago.
After finishing the work, Chu Huan walked into a bookstore again. Under Chu Huan's instructions, Shinkawa Morina selected some magazines and books about Japanese business, finance, etc. for Chu Huan.
Seeing Chu Huan selling so many related books, Shinkawa Morina became even more convinced that Chu Huan wanted to do something in the Tokyo stock market.
But she also knew that even if she asked, Chu Huan would not tell her, so she could only keep her curiosity in mind.
When the two of them returned to the hotel, it was impossible for Chu Huan to leave the hotel this afternoon, so he asked Shinkawa Morina to go back alone.
Seeing Chu Huan's bodyguard Qin Peng and others returning with a pile of books, magazines, and newspapers, Matsuzaka Keiko, who was watching TV, was also a little curious.
After Qin Peng and others left the room, Matsusaka Keiko sat in Chu Huan's arms and curiously asked Chu Huan, "Chu Sang, what are you doing?"
Chu Huan said with a smile, "I usually don't have anything to do when I stay in the hotel, so I thought about buying some magazines and newspapers to read when I came back!"
Matsuzaka Keiko was surprised, shouldn't she be watching TV and reading comics to kill time when she has nothing to do?
Why did I see that all Chu Huan brought back were financial magazines and newspapers?
Chu Huan held Matsuzaka Keiko's waist with one hand from behind, and put the other hand into Matsuzaka Keiko's T-shirt. The funny hand made Matsuzaka Keiko's face turn red, but she took the initiative to stretch her neck and look towards her.
Chu Huan asked for a kiss.
However, Chu Huan did not respond to Matsuzaka Keiko immediately, but asked with a smile, "Are you busy this afternoon?"
Matsusaka Keiko said with a slightly red face, "No, the commercial was shot at night."
"That's great!" Chu Huan said with satisfaction.
Matsuzaka Keiko said shyly, "This afternoon I am all yours!"
"Very good!" Chu Huan said happily with a smile, "Help me read the contents of these newspapers first!"
Keiko Matsuzaka ""
"Are you serious?" Matsusaka Keiko couldn't help but want to ask Chu Huan, but when she saw the serious expression on Chu Huan's face, Matsuzaka Keiko understood that Chu Huan was serious.
So this afternoon, Matsuzaka Keiko began to read to Chu Huan one by one according to the contents of the newspaper. Chu Huan sat at the desk in the study room, placed a few pieces of paper, and marked the information that he thought was useful.
Matsuzaka Keiko read a little carelessly. She really couldn't understand what Chu Huan was thinking. Even though the two of them had unlocked a lot of postures for such a beautiful woman, she shouldn't let herself do it at this time.
Read him the newspaper?
Could it be that Chu Huan, like Nozaki Yusuke, has begun to feel bored?
"No, something's not right here!" Chu Huan said with some dissatisfaction, "The newspaper just now was clearly talking about Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's Seibu Group preparing to build the Prince Hotel in the Shinagawa area. How come this newspaper is now in Niigata Prefecture?
?”
"Ah?" Matsuzaka Keiko was stunned for a moment, hurriedly checked the newspaper in her hand, and then awkwardly told Chu Huan, "Sorry, it is indeed the Shinagawa area, not Niigata Prefecture!"
Chu Huan said with some dissatisfaction, "Be serious!"
In fact, Chu Huan also knew that his current behavior was the same as that of going to the shampoo room to find a young lady not to do exercises but to ask someone to do their homework.
But at this time, Chu Huan really didn't have a suitable person around him to do this for him, so he could only ask Keiko Matsuzaka to do it.
Chu Huan did not know the situation in Japan as clearly as those in Xiangjiang, so many things needed reminders from newspapers to remind Chu Huan.
Just from today's newspaper content, Chu Huan learned one thing. Although Japan's real estate market reached its peak in the 1980s, in fact, Japan's housing prices during this period were the same as those of Xiangjiang's real estate market.
Almost the same, it was in 1973 that housing prices reached the highest level in recent years. It was due to the stock market crash in Xiangjiang that the land prices in Xiangjiang began to plummet.
In Japan, housing prices plummeted due to the oil crisis, but in the past two years, housing prices in Japan have only rebounded somewhat.
In addition, Japan has now begun to formulate the "Land Law" to prohibit land sales, which has also led to the end of the era of land speculation in Japan.
From this news, Chu Huan judged that if Japan's "Law of Land and Land" is announced, the large amount of land reserved in Nikkatsu's hands will definitely depreciate, and this will definitely cause fluctuations in Nikkatsu's stock price.
Matsuzaka Keiko read the newspaper for a while, and then put the newspaper in front of Chu Huan with some emotion.
"Chu Sang, I have been reading for more than two hours. I am so tired. How about we take a break?"
Matsuzaka Keiko grabbed Chu Huan's arm and preached coquettishly.
This is really not professional!
Chu Huan looked at Matsuzaka Keiko, who had not finished reading the newspaper, and understood that it was a very good thing to have her read to him for two hours.
He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the hot springs and relax!"
In the spring pool, the sound of the hot springs surging can indeed bring a lot of emotions.
Matsusaka Keiko immediately nodded happily.
In the evening, after Keiko Matsuzaka went to shoot a commercial, Chu Huan called Xu Yi's phone and asked her to send a group of secretaries proficient in Japanese to the secretarial department!
Keiko Matsuzaka can still handle the newspaper matter, but when it comes to magazines and books, she can only rely on professional talents like Joku Consulting Company.
Moreover, it involves professional terminology, and even Matsuzaka Keiko can’t understand it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Yi said that these people will be arranged in the company tomorrow, and they can arrive in Tokyo the day after tomorrow.
Chu Huan nodded in agreement.
Then Chu Huan called Nozaki Yusuke and made an appointment to have a drink together tomorrow. In fact, Chu Huan had something to see him.
However, Nozaki Yusuke was very excited after receiving Chu Huan's call, and immediately asked Chu Huan if he was okay now.
Chu Huan looked at the empty room and said that there was nothing going on here.
"Then I'll pick you up now. Let me do my duty as a landlord tonight and let Mr. Chu see the night sky of Tokyo!"
Chu Huan and his friends were fine, so they agreed to Nozaki Yusuke's invitation.
Soon, Nozaki Yusuke drove to the hotel, and Chu Huan also took Qin Peng and others out of the elevator. When he saw Chu Huan followed by several bodyguards, he said indifferently.
"Chu Sang, Tokyo is still very safe. You don't need to bring your own bodyguard with you for everything."
"Haha!" Chu Huan simply replied to Nozaki Yusuke "haha!"
Only Japanese associations are legal in the world. Are you telling me that Tokyo is safe now?
I believe you as a ghost!
Chu Huan got into Nozaki Kosuke's car, while Qin Peng and others drove behind.
When Chu Huan saw Nozaki Kosuke's expression and thought of Nozaki Kosuke's life experience, Chu Huan understood that this gentlemen's club must not be a gentleman.
However, since he was settled, Chu Huan did not ask any more questions.
Soon the car arrived at Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Tokyo. To be honest, Chu Huan had been to Kabukicho in Shinjuku, but that was in his previous life.
Tokyo's Kabukicho was already bustling in 1975. Tsim Sha Tsui East in Hong Kong was the place with the most nightclubs, but its level of prosperity and blatant style were still far behind those here.
The big neon sign is on Kabukicho 1st Street, for fear that people who come here for fun will not be able to find the entrance.
After the car drove in, the flow of people obviously increased, and the car also slowed down a lot. Chu Huan noticed that Nozaki Yusuke's expression began to become brighter when he was driving.
He drove the car to the most luxurious nightclub in Kabukicho with ease. A doorman immediately came over to open the door for Chu Huan and Nozaki Yusuke.
The doorman even warmly called Nozaki Yusuke an acquaintance!
After generously tipping Nozaki Yusuke, he warmly invited Chu Huan to come in with him.
As soon as the two entered the nightclub, they saw a flamboyantly dressed mama-san waiting for Nozaki Yusuke in the lobby. When Nozaki Yusuke came in, he immediately walked over affectionately.
"Nozaki-kun, the private room you requested has been reserved for you, and Mikuri Moriyama is already waiting for you in the private room!"
Nozaki Yusuke laughed, and then introduced Chu Huan to Mama-san and said, "Give Chu Sang a good greeting. He is a super rich man from Hong Kong. "Fantasy Comics" and black and white images are all his business!"
Mama Sang's eyes lit up when she heard that he was a super rich man. Then she heard about "Fantasy Comics" and the black and white image companies were actually owned by Chu Huan. At this time, she saw that Chu Huan's twin children had already changed into shapes.
!
There is no way, "Fantasy Comics", black and white images are really famous in Japan!
"It turns out to be Chu Sang. I have admired my name for a long time. I have admired my name for a long time!"
What surprised Chu Huan was that this Mama Sang actually spoke Cantonese.
He didn't understand what Nozaki Kosuke said just now, but looking at what Mama-san said, Chu Huan guessed that Nozaki Kosuke must have told this Mama-san about his identity.
"Can you speak Cantonese?"
Chu Huan asked with a smile.
"I know a lot. We usually have some guests from Xiangjiang here!" Mama Sang said modestly.
Look, this is professionalism.
Under the leadership of Mama-san, the two came to a magnificently decorated private room, where there was already sitting a woman who came here specially because of Nozaki Yusuke and wore a Japanese high school uniform. However, her strong
The makeup is a bit inconsistent with her outfit.
Sure enough, the man is doing well and his wife is taking the college entrance examination!
"Chu Sang, please wait a moment, I will arrange for a girl who can speak Cantonese to come over!"
Mama Sang smiled and said to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded indifferently and said, "Find a few people who can speak Cantonese for my friend's house!"
Qin Peng and others also came in, but were arranged by Chu Huan to a private room next to them.
After Mom Sang paused, she immediately smiled and said, "No problem!"
It's not that easy to find a girl who understands Cantonese and is of high quality, but considering Chu Huan's status, Mama Sang will naturally do her best to get her.
Girls of ordinary quality are naturally easy to find, so Qin Peng and others were arranged by Mama Sang to have a girl in their house, but Chu Huan had not yet found one.
However, Qin Peng also came to Chu Huan because of this matter. Qin Peng was a little embarrassed at this time and said, "Young Master Huan, let's not give it up. Besides, what if something unexpected happens after drinking?"
?”
Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's okay to drink less. Even if you spend it at public expense today, it's okay to relax as much as you want. When you get back to the hotel, remember to get a separate room for each of you!"
Chu Huan never treats the people around him badly, and this is also the case now.
Qin Peng finally blushed and asked, "Brother Huan, are we bringing glory to the country?"
"Forget it!" Chu Huan said firmly.
After Qin Peng left and Chu Huan's girl hadn't come over yet, Chu Huan told Nozaki Yusuke that she was looking for him this time.
"Nozaki-kun, I want to buy a property in Tokyo. Do you have anything to recommend?"
