"Young Master Huan, is there anything you want me to do?"
Ma Jizu asked Chu Huan directly. He knew that Chu Huan must have something to do when he left him alone.
Chu Huan first told Xu Yi, who also stayed, "In addition to the newly established political department and negotiation department, Jiaku will add a legal department!"
In fact, the company's establishment of a legal department is something that should have been done a long time ago, but Chu Huan had been cooperating with Luo Decheng Law Firm before, so he did not pay attention to this matter.
But things are different now. The company's business is getting bigger and bigger overseas, and the legal issues to be dealt with in the future are no longer just in Hong Kong, so Jiaku Consulting Company should also have its own legal department.
At the same time, the company also has many secret documents that cannot be known to Luo Decheng.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "I will prepare this matter next."
Chu Huan nodded. Most group companies in Xiangjiang would choose to cooperate with Xiangjiang law firms to handle some personal cases of the company and its management.
Of course, some large consortiums must have their own legal departments.
"Find more lawyers who are good at international cases to join us!" Chu Huan told him.
Xu Yidao "Understood!"
After explaining this matter to Xu Yi, Chu Huan took out another piece of paper from his drawer and handed it to Ma Jizu.
"The specifications of the cross buttons, direction buttons, and handle are the same as those of previous portable music devices. We have applied for a global patent!"
Now that Chu Huan has set his sights on the gaming industry, he naturally needs to make more preparations for this industry, and the most important preparation is to apply for patents for game controllers such as cross buttons.
Looking at the market outlook, this is the most common sense thing, but now, because the Famicom and -boy have not yet been developed, and Nintendo has not applied for a global patent for the cross button, this gives Chu Huan the opportunity to apply for a patent.
The emergence of the cross-button patent almost established the status of Nintendo's red and white consoles. Later, Sony's p series replaced the red and white consoles and became the leader in the gaming industry. However, even so, their controllers are still inferior in terms of buttons.
The Famicom is a bit worse. It chooses separate direction keys to avoid the patent of the cross button!
What Chu Huan is doing now is to apply for patents for all game controllers that will appear in the future, and follow his own path so that others have no way to go.
In fact, applying for patents should have been done by the company's legal department, but now there is no dedicated legal department in Jiaku, so Chu Huan can only leave it to Ma Jizu, who already has experience in this field.
Already.
Ma Jizu didn't ask why, he just nodded and said, "Okay!"
Ma Jizu then told Chu Huan that the global patent for portable music equipment had been applied for.
Chu Huan expressed his understanding. It just so happened that he was meeting with Chen Haichao tonight, and Jiuzhou's next flagship product, the Walkman, should also be on the agenda.
Compared with home video recorders, the development of the Walkman is actually not difficult. After Sony originally proposed the concept of the Walkman, it did not take long to develop the Walkman, mainly because of the technical foundation of the home video recorder.
So the difficulty with the Walkman is not the technology, but the concept!
After saying this, Chu Huan glanced at Xu Yi, who understood and left Chu Huan's office. Chu Huan took out a piece of paper again and handed it to Ma Jizu.
"When you go back, remember the name above, then burn this piece of paper, tell your people in Japan, take the initiative to make friends with them, give them the political investment they want, and at the same time master some of their dark materials. Generally speaking,
Focus on cooperation.”
Ma Jizu was stunned for a moment and looked at the names above. Some were senior officials of the Japanese government, some were political party celebrities of the Japanese government, and some were names that he had never heard of.
But what Chu Huan was talking about was political investment, and Ma Jizu knew the identities of these people.
"If you want to do business overseas, you won't be able to do business without knowing politics. If you want to make your business big, you won't be able to do it without having connections with politicians. These people are all potential people I found during my time in Japan, and they may be able to do so in the future.
Huge benefit to us!”
Chu Huan preached to Ma Jizu seriously.
There are three very important names in the list. One is Ohira Masayoshi, one is Suzuki Zenyuki, and one is Nakasone Yasuhiro. Of course, there are also some young people's names on the list. These people are the longer-term future invested by Chu Huan.
.
Ma Jizu was shocked, and he understood what Chu Huan meant.
In fact, not only Japan, but Chu Huan in Europe and the United States will also have such a choice in the future. In this regard, Chu Huan has an advantage that ordinary people do not have, because he clearly knows who will stand at the top of their country's strength and can avoid it.
A series of negative consequences caused by the failure of political investment.
Of course, Chu Huan also understands that the most untrustworthy people in the world are these politicians, so it is not enough to just be friends and master dirty materials. The most important thing is to have enough influence.
Only in this way can you better play in this world!
Ma Jizu carefully put the paper away. He would definitely not be able to remember these names in a short time. He needed to go back and memorize them in his bones, so now was not the time to destroy this paper.
"Don't worry, Chairman, no one will see this paper except me."
Chu Huan nodded with confidence, and then said, "The investigation department has set up an independent department for this matter, which is directly responsible to you. No one except me is allowed to know what is going on here. In addition, the company will pay this department every year."
HK$100 million is used as operating capital. If there are additional expenses, you can report them directly to me!"
Ma Jizu nodded seriously and said, "Understood!"
Chu Huan sat back in his seat and said, "Okay, go and do your work!"
"Um!"
Not long after Ma Jizu left Chu Huan's office, Xu Yi walked in again, indicating that Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu had arrived.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan cheered up again and said with a smile, "Please come in!"
Soon, Xu Yi brought Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu to Chu Huan's office.
"Li Weng, Uncle Six, I'm sorry, there are a lot of things in the company, so I can only invite you two to the company!"
Chu Huan invited the two of them to the sofa with a smile on his face.
"Ah Huan, we are all old acquaintances. Let's talk straight to the point. Why are you interested in our Wireless?"
After Li Xiaohe sat down, he directly explained his purpose to Chu Huan without any official talk.
Shao Yifu also looked a little solemn on the side. Although Shao Yifu's main energy is still with Shaw Brothers, Shao Yifu also sees the huge influence brought by the television industry. Now he is the general manager of Wireless, with a high position of authority, but if
If Wireless is acquired by Chu Huan, his influence in Wireless will definitely be weakened.
This is not what Shao Yifu wants to see.
Chu Huan said calmly, "There is no way. Wireless is now the largest TV station in Hong Kong. Since black and white images want to enter the TV field, they naturally hope to acquire the best."
Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu were speechless for a while. Working together to make Wireless the biggest one turned out to be the reason Chu Huan cared about Wireless.
For this reason, neither of them knew whether they should be happy or helpless.
"So, Ah Huan, you are destined to win TVB?"
Li Xiaohe couldn't help but ask.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Black and White Image wants to develop into a media group, and the acquisition of Wireless is the most important part of it!"
Chu Huan did not hide the matter of developing black and white images into a media group from Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu. This kind of thing is not a shameful thing, so there is no need to feel embarrassed.
When Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu heard that Chu Huan actually wanted to turn black and white images into a media group, they were also shocked by Chu Huan's idea.
Because there is no real media group in Hong Kong at this time!
But it was precisely because of this that Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu understood one thing, that is, Chu Huan was really serious about acquiring TVB this time.
"So, there is no discussion between us this time?" Li Xiaohe was already thinking about how to fight this battle with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's true."
"Then the only way is for the subordinates to see the truth!" After Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu received Chu Huan's affirmative reply, they stood up and prepared to leave.
The two of them have been in the business world of Xiangjiang for many years. Although Chu Huan's influence and wealth are increasing day by day, the two of them did not really give up to Chu Huan without a fight just because of this!
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Boy, wait a moment, I have something else I want to discuss with you."
Chu Huan called out to the two of them.
Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu both looked at Chu Huan, wondering what else Chu Huan wanted to say.
Chu Huan said with a smile, "Although Black and White Video must acquire Wireless, I don't want to meet you two at war. The acquisition of tvb is Black and White's first step in becoming a media group and cannot be missed. But for tvb
management, Black and White Video is willing to work with both of you to develop TVB."
This matter was caused by Chu Huan's long-standing friendship, not counting Li Xiaohe, but Shao Yifu did play a crucial role in the development of TVB.
If possible, Chu Huan hopes that Shao Yifu can continue to control the development of TVB in the future. Of course, this is the same as Li & Fung.
Chu Huan must have the absolute controlling shareholder of TVB. Only in this way can he ensure that TVB will cooperate with his business plan during the development process.
To put it simply, Yifu Shao will be a professional manager holding wireless shares in the future!
Sure enough, when they heard that Chu Huan was willing to manage TVB with them both, the expressions on the faces of Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu finally relaxed a little.
But it is impossible to get them to agree with Chu Huan's acquisition of TVB just like this.
"Ah Huan, if you are optimistic about the development of TVB, you can acquire part of the shares of Wireless, but now you have bought so many shares directly from HSBC, so that we will not be able to cooperate in the future."
Li Xiaohe preached calmly.
Li Xiaohe actually has no objection to Chu Huan's investment in Wireless. After all, according to Chu Huan's current influence in Hong Kong, having him join Wireless is also a good publicity for Wireless.
What's more, Chu Huan also has the black-and-white images of the number one company in the Hong Kong film industry.
But now what Chu Huan wants is to become the majority shareholder of Wireless and compete with him for control of Wireless. This is not something Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu can accept.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Wireless must be controlled by Black and White Image. There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu are both veteran businessmen in Xiangjiang business circles. Now that they see Chu Huan being so aggressive, they naturally feel unhappy.
So he stood up again and wanted to leave.
Chu Huan had no choice but to use his second trump card.
"According to Wireless's current market valuation, it should be around 100 million Hong Kong dollars. HSBC notified you that I personally want to acquire Wireless, which is just to raise Wireless's valuation. I have personally prepared for the acquisition.
HSBC has prepared 100 million Hong Kong dollars for the wireless shares in its hands. At the same time, it has purchased the TVB shares from Nanhai Textile, as well as the TVB shares from Mr. Yu Jingwei and the TVB shares from Times Life International.
If you two want to compete, you must be prepared to spend more than 100 million in cash, but do you think this is in line with the value of Wireless?"
What is the trump card?
It’s a trump card that leaves the other party with nothing to do!
Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu must be rich!
Naturally, they are rich, especially Li Xiaohe. His family was once as famous as He Dong. They owned a large area of land in Xiangjiang, especially in the Causeway Bay area. In the early years, the Li family was known as the king of Causeway Bay!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention Shaw Brothers, the Shaw family has accumulated so much wealth after so many years of making movies. You can know it just by looking at the number of Shaw Brothers theaters in Southeast Asia.
Already.
It is definitely not difficult for the two of them to come up with 100 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, but as Chu Huan said, is it worth it?
Li Xiaohe is 66 years old this year. In the past two years, he has often felt powerless. He doesn't know how many years his body can last.
At this time, Yifu Shao was actually more focused on Shaw Brothers movies, not TVB. Yifu Shao took over TVB because Li Xiaohe suddenly died of a heart attack, and Shaw Brothers Pictures was lost to Golden Harvest and New Arts in the film industry.
After a series of blows, the city turned its attention to the television industry.
But it's not that time yet.
So when Chu Huan showed that he was determined to win against TVB, both Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu hesitated.
Seeing the two people hesitate, Chu Huan knew that his psychological warfare had worked.
So he continued to persuade the two of them. First, he said that the current competition between the two of them was at most a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman's profit. HSBC was the most profitable, and there was no actual benefit to either of them.
Later, Chu Huan expressed his opinion that he was not fully involved in the management of TVB, and would fully consider their opinions on TVB.
The three of them talked until past seven o'clock in the evening. In the end, Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu had no choice but to agree to Chu Huan becoming the majority shareholder of Wireless.
Mainly because there is nothing they can do if they don't agree.
"Li Weng, Uncle Six, we will be partners from now on. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!" Chu Huan personally sent Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu out of Jiahu Building.
Li Xiaohe smiled bitterly and said, "Ah Huan, I hope you can keep your promise!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "You two will know the current development of Li & Fung!"
Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu looked at each other, said nothing, got into their cars, and left Jiahu Building.
"Boss, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. TVB's resources, whether black and white images or Shaw Brothers, are in great need. If the two companies compete in this area in the future, TVB will definitely give priority to Shaw Brothers.
."
After the two left, Xu Yi suggested to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan acquired Li & Fung and became Li & Fung's major shareholder, but did not participate in Li & Fung's operations. This was because in Li & Fung's equity structure, no company could pose a threat to Jiahu Textile and Jiuzhou.
But TVB is different. TVB has Shaw Brothers in its shareholding structure. Shaw Brothers and Black and White Image are both in the film business. Although Black and White Image holds more shares in TVB, after several years of operation, the entire TVB is owned by Li Xiaohe.
With Shao Yifu's people.
If they join forces, even if Black and White is the largest shareholder of TVB, they may not have much say in the company.
This is actually one of the reasons why Chu Huan wants to keep Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu. This company is far more complex than a real estate company.
Li Xiaohe is the company's major shareholder and chairman, and many of the management are from Li Xiaohe. Although Shao Yifu has not yet officially exercised his rights in TVB.
But most of the people in TVB's film and television drama production department have countless opportunities with Shaw Brothers.
This is also the reason why Shao Yifu was able to successfully take over TVB after Li Xiaohe passed away.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Then it depends on whether you and Fang Jianhui, the two people sent to TVB, have the ability to establish their own faction within TVB!"
TVB's palace battle drama is better than any palace battle drama and business war drama that TVB has ever filmed.
Chu Huan understood that if he wanted to truly control TVB, he still had to wait until Li Xiaohe passed away. After Li Xiaohe passed away, the descendants of the Li family actually thought about competing with Shao Yifu for the control of TVB. However, the descendants of the Li family simply refused in front of Shao Yifu.
Not enough to watch.
In addition, they are messing around inside tvb, making tvb a mess and unpopular. This is a great assist for Shao Yifu.
After Black and White became the majority shareholder of TVB, they would definitely send people into TVB's management. Although the situation would be very troublesome at the beginning, Chu Huan believed that his people could gain a firm foothold in TVB.
If it doesn’t work, then we can only change a group of people!
After giving Xu Yi a few words, Chu Huan left Jiahu Building by car and returned to his villa in Repulse Bay.
Chen Haichao is already waiting for Chu Huan here.
Not only Chen Haichao is here, but after arranging for Yokoi Gunpei, Miyamoto Shigeru's Bao Tianming is also here. At the same time, Liu Pingkui, who has just finished shooting a movie and is taking a vacation, and Zhu Xiaozhao, who has almost completed the expansion of Yunhai Chain in Xiangjiang, is also here.
.
The hostess Cao Yunshang was not here.
"Where's Yunshang?"
After Zhu Xiaozhao helped Chu Huan take off his coat, he talked to Chu Huan.
"I just got a call from Kinmen Construction. There were some problems at the construction site on Mount Caleb Road. Sister Yun Shang hurried over!"
Construction of Chu Huan's manor located on Mount Galileo Road at the top of the mountain has now begun, and has been handed over to Kinmen Construction, the largest construction company in Hong Kong, for construction.
“I can do this kind of thing myself, it’s not too troublesome!”
Chu Huan gave some indifferent sermons.
Liu Pingkui turned over the grilled chicken wings in his hand and said with a smile, "This is my sister-in-law's future new house. She must be very interested in it!"
Chu Huan glanced at Liu Pingkui and said, "You are really worthy of your reputation as a quick shooter in the film industry. Before I went to Japan, your movie hadn't started shooting yet. When I came back, you had already finished shooting!"
Liu Pingkui said indifferently, "As long as it makes money, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow. In a few decades, no one will watch the current movies."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The current Liu Pingkui is the Fatty Wang who appeared in advance. Filmmaking in Liu Pingkui's mind is just a business, and it has nothing to do with art.
Getting money is the most important thing.
Chu Huan said to Liu Pingkui, "Now that Tianming has its own things to do, have you ever thought about doing something yourself?"
Now Bao Tianming is in charge of Langyan Games, Chen Haichao is in charge of Jiuzhou Electronics, and Zhu Xiaozhao is in charge of Yunhai Chain.
Among the people who followed Chu Huan, Liu Pingkui was the first to come out, but now his status and net worth are the lowest, and he is only a successful commercial director in Hong Kong.
Chu Huan cherishes the relationship between them, so he doesn't want Liu Pingkui to feel unbalanced, so he also wants to see if Liu Pingkui has anything he wants to do.
Who would have thought that Liu Pingkui shook his head directly and said, "Don't, Brother Huan, just think it's me begging you, but don't look for other things with me. You don't know how cool my life is now. On the set, I
That is to say, I am the one-and-done boss, the female stars in the eyes of others outside, I can look for whoever I want, if you give me something else to do now, I will be depressed!"
Seeing what Liu Pingkui said, Chu Huan didn't say anything, but just reminded Liu Pingkui.
"Your salary is now the highest in the company. With so much money, it is enough for you to be a groom every night. The remaining money is used to buy some properties and shares in Sun Hung Kai and New Century. I don't want to make movies in the future.
You can also be a happy rich man!"
Liu Pingkui immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Huan!"
Chu Huan took a bottle of beer from Zhu Xiaozhao's hand and took a sip before speaking to Bao Tianming.
"After settling Yokoi Gunpei and Miyamoto Shigeru, you have to go to North America."
Bao Tianming immediately became interested and asked, "What are we going to do in North America?"
Chu Huan said with a smile, "The market I planned for Langyan Games' first arcade machine is North America, so I left the game development to Gunpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, while you went to North America to see the market there.
The second is to establish its own sales channels as much as possible.”
At this stage, no matter in Japan, Europe, America or Hong Kong, arcade rooms have appeared in the market. These arcade games are more often parked in some bars, schools and other places.
Such an environment is naturally not conducive to the promotion of arcade games, so if Chu Huan wants to get the most benefits from his arcade games as quickly as possible, he needs to cultivate this market.
When there are more and more arcade games, arcade game rooms will definitely spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
What Bao Tianming has to do now is to find a way to get this arcade game room noticed faster.
After hearing Chu Huan's idea, Bao Tianming suddenly said to Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, if, as you said, arcade game rooms will really become the soil for arcade games, then there will definitely be many arcade game rooms in the future.
, can you invest some money in this market in Xiangjiang and let Skeleton and the others do it?"
The two younger brothers who used to follow Bao Tianming, Yu Toubiao and She Zaiming, have completely entered the right career and become the boss of Yu Snake Detective Agency, while Skull has also become a big brother level person in the society.
But because Skull is not in the flour business, his financial resources are far inferior to those of the fans, so Bao Tianming now wants to find a way for Skeleton and the others to make money.
After hearing Chu Huan's analysis of the future arcade game market, Bao Tianming had this idea.
Chu Huan said nonchalantly, "You will be responsible for the Wolf Smoke game. You can make up your own mind on how to do it."
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Bao Tianming said nothing.
Chu Huan then said to Zhu Xiaozhao, "Since the chain store in Xiangjiang is almost completed, there are two markets for you to choose from and see which one is suitable."
Zhu Xiaozhao's face did not show much happiness, but instead showed a trace of anxiety, and he looked at Chu Huan nervously.
Chu Huan understood what Zhu Xiaozhao was thinking and said with a smile, "This matter can be left to someone you trust in the company. At the same time, there will be a team of people from Jiaku to help you!"
When he heard that he didn't need to go to these two places, the worry on Zhu Xiaozhao's face immediately disappeared.
Then he began to think seriously about Chu Huan's suggestion,
"It should be more convenient in Taiwan, but now the development of 7-11 in Japan is getting faster and faster. If we continue to leave the Japanese market alone, we will want to enter the Japanese market again in the future.
When the time comes, it will be more troublesome!”
Chu Huan asked, "So you mean you want to open up the Japanese market first?"
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "That's right!"
Then Zhu Xiaozhao said again, "But if we want to open the market in Japan, the investment will be very large, and we should also bring the logistics system there. Only in this way can we truly compete with 7-11!"
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and asked, "How much money is there in the company's account now?"
Zhu Xiaozhao said in embarrassment, "There is not much left. All the previous money has been invested in the expansion of Xiangjiang."
Chu Huan said that he could understand, and said, "In the past few days, your company will send people to inspect the Japanese market, and then make a budget. When the time comes, Jiaku will allocate a sum of money to you.
It can support your early preparations and store opening work.”
Japan's expansion will definitely not be achieved all at once. As long as it develops in the early stage and does not make profits later, I believe that Yunhai can also develop in Japan.
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded first, and then asked Chu Huan, "Should we rent or buy the store?"
"Buy!" Chu Huan said categorically. Today's Japan is no different from today's Xiangjiang. Before the real estate bubble, Japan's real estate market was definitely promising, just like Chu Huan's cooperation with Seibu Group.
Let’s take advantage of this moment to buy at a low price and then sell it before the real estate bubble. As for what to do with Yunhai’s store then?
It’s okay to prepare in advance whether you want to rent or wait until the real estate bubble is over to buy!
