640, Xiangjiang Jiakus performance and development (Part 2)
“What’s going on with fantasy animation now?”
Chu Huan set his sights on Zhong Zhichen. Last year, Chu Huan had already decided to officially launch the company's animation project. After discussing with Zhong Zhichen, Chu Huan decided to write "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil".
Two projects.
At the same time, it is also for the purpose of adapting these two animations into games in the future. The current technology is definitely not enough to make these two comics into games.
However, these two animations can be launched on the market first. After two or three years of accumulation, I believe Langyan Games can produce a rough version of the first game!
When the time comes to sell feelings, I think the results will not be too bad!
Zhong Zhichen quickly replied: "Now the character sketches have been completed, and the new animation script has been designed, but it will have to wait until at least the second half of this year before the animation can be officially broadcast!"
Regarding this result, Chu Huan could only accept it. After all, he was not a professional, so he could only listen to the opinions of professionals on this kind of matter.
"By the way, after the meeting is over, if you stay alone, I have something to tell you!" Chu Huan suddenly thought of an important IP for future generations. If this IP is developed, then Chu Huan will not only get
Huge profits and far-reaching influence.
Although Zhong Zhichen didn't know what Chu Huan wanted to do by leaving him behind, he still nodded seriously: "Okay!"
As one of the financial responsibilities of Xiangjiang Jiaku, Fantasy Comics Club’s income is naturally astonishing.
In the past year, the sales profit of Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, Fantasy Comics' comic revenue was HK$142 million, while its peripheral revenue reached a terrifying HK$1.137 billion!
The overall profit was HK$1.279 billion!
Even though many people at the scene already knew that Fantasy Comics made money, they did not expect that the entire Hong Kong, South Korea, and Southeast Asia region could bring such huge profits to Fantasy Comics Club.
You must know that this income has exceeded the total interests of the real estate companies listed in Xiangjiang last year.
When did Xiangjiang comics become so profitable?
Yasuo Kamikura was very satisfied with everyone’s envious looks.
This shows that their work is qualified. In addition, as the president of the Global Fantasy Comics Society, he has not told everyone about the global profits. If he tells everyone about the global profits, I am afraid these people will be even more surprised.
Chu Huan had already set his sights on Bao Tianming.
Bao Tianming also knew that it was time for their Wolf Smoke Game to debut.
Langyan Games is the last company to join Jiaku, but it is the company with the most potential in Hong Kong Jiaku today. After all, in Bao Tianming’s view, the revenue of Fantasy Comics Club has basically reached its peak, and there should be no more in the future.
What potential.
But in fact, Bao Tianming is still different. Nowadays, if comics, peripherals, animations, games, etc. are regarded as a pyramid.
Then comics are the foundation of this pyramid. The market hatched through comics will expand to peripheral areas. Taking the current revenue of Fantasy Comics Club, the revenue ratio between comics and peripherals is 1.1:8.9!
But can we say that comics are not important?
It is because of the foundation of comics that peripheral benefits have been cultivated.
Now this pyramid will continue to increase upwards, the animation market!
In fact, Chu Huan also has doubts about the revenue brought by the animation market, but Chu Huan believes that the broadcast of animation will definitely boost the sales of comics and surrounding products, and they are mutually beneficial.
Even in the future, when Langyan Games launches a game of the same name, it will be another mutual acquisition.
So I must have thought wrong about Bao Tianming, and many people at the scene would also have thought wrong.
However, this does not delay Bao Tianming's full confidence in Langyan Games. If Langyan Games only had arcade games before, then in the future arcade games are likely to be hit just because of the unpopularity of one game, but now Langyan Games
The game was launched on the Famicom.
Although it hasn’t been long, it has already begun to seize the entire TV game market. To put it simply, as time goes by, with the help of Langyan Games’ own NES games and seizing the mainstream market of NES games,
Langyan Games can occupy a monopoly position in the field of TV games.
In fact, Langyan Games has now opened up compatibility with red and white consoles, which means that other game manufacturers can also develop games that can be played on red and white consoles, but they have to pay Langyan Games a fee similar to a patent fee.
It’s equivalent to the apple tax in future generations!
However, due to the current level of technology, it is definitely not possible to deliver it like the Apple tax. Instead, it is levied based on the number of game cartridges sold.
Of course, this will also increase the work cost of Langyan Game, but comparing the two, Langyan Game is definitely more profitable.
After Bao Tianming gave a brief report on the situation of Langyan Games, he told Chu Huan the operating conditions of Langyan Games in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries.
"The entire Wolf Smoke game sold a total of 100,000 arcade machines, 1.3 million red and white consoles, and massive game cartridges in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries last year, earning a total profit of 1.86 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
call!
When everyone heard this, they showed shocked expressions again. Sure enough, they were the two financial leaders of Jiaku together with the Fantasy Comics Club!
"Mr. Bao, after you told Mr. Kamikura like this, we were embarrassed to talk about our situation!"
He Bingguang from Zhulu Real Estate sat there and joked helplessly.
Whether it is Fantasy Comics Club or Langyan Games, these two companies are actually low-investment and high-return companies within the system of Xiangjiang Jiaku.
However, Zhulu Real Estate is exactly the opposite of them, because now Chu Huan has abandoned the residential properties in Zhulu Real Estate's business, which means that Zhulu Real Estate has lost a project that can quickly withdraw funds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The commercial buildings, industrial buildings and business circles currently developed by Zhulu Real Estate are all asset-heavy industries with long return cycles. This has led to Zhulu Real Estate as a
The number one real estate company in Hong Kong, but in fact the company's income cannot match its status.
Of course, this is relative to the Jiaku Group, not the current Xiangjiang Real Estate Company.
Chu Huan smiled and said to He Bingguang: "You don't have to be envious. The property market in Xiangjiang is now very good. In addition, Xiangjiang's economic development is in a period of rapid development and Xiangjiang's position in the world's financial industry. The commercial building in our hands will be in the future."
The rent will definitely be the envy of everyone.”
Bao Tianming also smiled and said: "Mr. He, we all know that the company now has countless buildings, why don't you tell everyone how many commercial buildings the company has now?"
The commercial buildings of Zhulu Real Estate have now reached a terrifying level. If you add in the newly acquired commercial buildings held by Hehe International-Wheelock, the title of Land King of Xiangjiang is definitely deserved.
.
He Bingguang first glanced at Chu Huan and asked, "Chairman, does he need to mention the commercial buildings of several other companies?"
As mentioned just now, the number of commercial buildings owned by Jiaku in Xiangjiang has already reached a terrifying number. Therefore, in order to facilitate management, some buildings have been sold directly to Zhulu Real Estate, such as the Jiahu Building of Jiahu Textile.
Some have transferred their management rights to Zhulu Real Estate, and the property companies under Zhulu Real Estate will uniformly manage and collect rents!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Speak!"
It's not that Chu Huan wants to show off deliberately, the most important thing is that after letting everyone at the scene know the power of the company, they can also have a greater sense of belonging and honor to the company.
He Bingguang cleared his throat and said seriously: "The commercial buildings currently owned and managed by the company include Jiahu Building, Chinese Bank, Entertainment Bank, Global Building, Wofoo Center, Admiralty Center, and Hutchison Building in Central.
, Federal Building, International Building, Wheelock Building, Marden Building, New Lane Crawford Building, Kam Hing Building, etc.
Among them, Global Tower and Wofu Center are under construction, and Jiahu Tower is under renovation. In addition, the new Lane Crawford Building has been sold to Madam's Empire Fashion Group, but it is also managed by us.
There are also Shaw Building, Huajun Building and Fu Yip Building in Mongkok.
There are many properties and buildings acquired by the Cheung family in Causeway Bay, including the Chai Lu Commercial Center in East Tsim Sha Tsui, the Parkview Commercial Center in Kowloon, Hang Lung Center in Causeway Bay, Takin Mun Building in Yau Tsim Mong, and Shun Yip Building in North Point.
, Po Sheng Building on Nan Wan Road, Hong Kong Island, Kwan Yick Building of Hehe International, etc., a total of 51 commercial buildings.
In addition, the company owns 18 industrial buildings and a land bank of nearly 10 million square feet in the New Territories and other places!"
After everyone listened, they were all speechless.
Everyone knows that Chu Huan has purchased countless commercial buildings in Xiangjiang over the years through a series of actions such as individual purchase, self-construction, and acquisition, but no one knew that there would be so many.
If all those lands are built into commercial buildings in the future, the situation of Zhulu Real Estate will be unpredictable.
The simplest data can reflect the number of commercial buildings held by Zhulu Real Estate in Hong Kong at this time. Last year, as the leader of listed real estate companies, Zhulu Real Estate’s annual rent was approximately HK$278 million. Last year, Zhulu Real Estate
The rent has reached HK$635 million!
This was only in 1978!
Chu Huan understood that in future generations, these existing buildings would bring him nearly 100 billion in rent every year.
As long as Xiangjiang can maintain its status in the world, these rents will only increase.
If Chu Huan waits until his hometown is completely opened up in the future and he buys land to build a commercial building there, then the income from this area alone will be enough to ensure that Chu Huan firmly stands as the world's richest man.
The world’s largest charter company!
Who else would I be!
The situation in his hometown is still a bit far away. Chu Huan doesn't have to worry about it yet. He has something to tell John Qiao here.
“Has the situation of Hopewell International-Wheelock been smoothed out?”
Facing Chu Huan's inquiry, John Qiao immediately said: "It has been sorted out, and now we are cleaning up Wheelock's tanker."
Chu Huan said: "There is one more thing you need to do!"
John Qiao said: "Please give me the chairman's orders!"
“I am ready to let Zhulu Real Estate and Hehe International-Wheelock jointly develop the Whampoa Dockyard’s land in Hung Hom!”
Chu Huan spoke calmly.
But when these words fell on everyone's ears, they were all shocked. The piece of land was not small. In addition, Chu Huan said last year that Zhulu Real Estate would no longer be a residential property. Since it is not a residential property, then
It can only be done in business.
The area of that piece of land is about 2 million square feet, which exceeds the area of Zhulu Center. Such a large piece of land is not a simple commercial building, but will be the Zhulu Commercial Center of Zhulu Real Estate.
Like Wharf's Harbor City, a modern large-scale commercial circle has been built!
If this is the case, then the Zhulu Commercial Center and the commercial center in Hung Hom will fly together and become the two largest commercial centers in Kowloon.
Thousands of words gathered into one sentence!
This will be another extremely large-scale investment!
It will even exceed the investment of Zhulu Commercial Center.
Chu Huan had already considered this, and had even vaguely mentioned it to Bao Yugang before. However, at that time, John Qiao had not smoothed over the situation of Hehe International-Wheelock, so he waited until
Say it now.
In another time and space, Li Jiacheng built this place into Huangpu Garden, and the cost reached 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, which of course also included the land premium.
At that time, after Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, it wanted to start the construction of Whampoa Gardens. However, the condition proposed by the Hong Kong government at that time was that Hutchison Whampoa's land premium would be as high as HK$1.4 billion to HK$1.9 billion. The two parties had never negotiated on this point.
good.
It wasn't until 1984 that the Hong Kong real estate industry once again fell into a trough due to some political reasons. In order to stimulate land prices, the Hong Kong government finally agreed to Hutchison Whampoa's land price supplement of HK$391 million, and an additional road construction fee of HK$210 million.
Approved the development of Huangpu Garden by Hutchison Whampoa.
Subsequently, Hutchison Whampoa invested 4 billion Hong Kong dollars to start developing Whampoa Garden. In the end, Lijiacheng made a huge profit of 5.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which did not include the annual rent provided by the mall used to collect rent in Whampoa Garden.
In Chu Huan's view, the most important reason why Li Jiacheng built Huangpu Garden was actually his lack of money!
We can only adopt this model and use Huangpu Garden to collect large amounts of cash.
But Chu Huan himself is different. He has many companies that provide him with huge amounts of cash, so naturally he does not need to use his residence to raise funds.
Since Chu Huan does not need to withdraw funds, there is no need to build a Huangpu Garden.
As I just said, Chu Huan's existing commercial buildings will bring Chu Huan nearly 100 billion in rent every year in the future, but in fact, as long as Zhulu Real Estate can continue to develop in accordance with Chu Huan's requirements.
Hong Kong alone will provide Chu Huan with rental income of more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars every year in the future!
Don’t forget, there is still a lot of undeveloped land in the hands of Hehe International-Wheelock, and Chu Huan also plans to take action on the opposite land in the future!
By that time, Chu Huan's Langyan Game had already abandoned the arcade game market that everyone was optimistic about now.
Even in the future, when Chu Huan gets old, the rents from these properties can fully support the development of Chu Huan's other industries.
John Qiao said: "Chairman, if you really want to develop the land of Whampoa Dockyard in Hung Hom, then you need to negotiate with the Hong Kong government to pay the land price. Now the Xiangjiang property market has begun to move on the fast track. I think
The Hong Kong government must be very open-minded, and..."
When he said the last part, John Qiao hesitated.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Are you trying to say that the relationship between us and the Hong Kong government is not very good!"
John Qiao nodded helplessly.
Chu Huan said: "You can discuss this matter with the Hong Kong government after you return to Hong Kong. As for the land premium required by the other party, you must discuss it with the other party. My psychological price is HK$500 million. In addition, you can talk to the Hong Kong government
The government says that in addition to this amount of money, we can also add a road construction fee. My psychological value for this money is within 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
If we can negotiate this price, we can start construction, but if we can't negotiate this price, then we will continue to work with the other party, we have time!"
There is indeed a big problem between Chu Huan and the Hong Kong government. Even if the two parties have reached a reconciliation before, this reconciliation is only temporary. It is wrong to say that those in the Hong Kong government have no thoughts about Chu Huan.
It's possible, after all, Chu Huan was also doing their best at that time.
But one thing needs to be understood, that is, there are only conflicts of interest between them, and there is no personal conflict. Such conflicts of interest can actually be compensated for by interests.
Now that the real estate market in Hong Kong is booming, the Hong Kong government can also use land auctions to obtain a large amount of funds. However, when land prices in Hong Kong fall again in the future, the Hong Kong government will need to provide other funds to supplement the land prices in Hong Kong, thereby stimulating land prices in Hong Kong.
This is also the reason why Li Jiacheng was able to succeed in the end in another time and space... Of course, there is also the reason why Li Jiacheng is good at dancing and maintains good relations with the Hong Kong government and his hometown.
That's why Chu Huan took out this fund from Li Jiacheng in another time and space.
Of course, by now Chu Huan had already asked Wu Xiaohui to start working on the relationship with some people in the Hong Kong government.
I believe that this matter will not be settled with the Hong Kong government until 1984.
"I understand, chairman, please rest assured that I will do my best to facilitate this matter!" John Qiao said.
Chu Huan nodded slightly, then looked at Wen Mingzhang.
Now Wen Mingzhang is responsible for managing Chinese Real Estate, and the Chinese Real Estate at this time is no longer the original Chinese Real Estate.
When Chu Huan first acquired Chinese Real Estate, Chinese Real Estate only had Chinese Bank, an office building in North Point, and some HSBC stocks under its name, so it had no assets.
But now it's completely different.
At this time, Chu Huan had already put his shares in Sun Hung Kai, New World, Hopewell Properties, Henderson Land Development, Cheung Kong, KMB, CMB, Li & Fung Group, China Entertainment and other companies in Hong Kong to Chinese Land. As for the Chinese
The shares of Qingzhou Yingni owned before the purchase were sold to Zhulu Real Estate.
In addition, the shares of Huahai Real Estate and Haiyun Real Estate, which are responsible for Japanese properties, are also owned by Chinese Real Estate.
It also has shares in the Seibu Group of Japan.
The reason why Chu Huan made this choice was because of the internal equity distribution of Chinese Real Estate.
Currently, the equity distribution of Chinese Real Estate is that Chu Huan holds 19% of the shares, Cao Yunshang holds 15%, and the remaining shares are all placed in the Chu Trust Fund.
The Chu Family Trust Fund will be Chu Huan’s living expenses and entrepreneurial capital prepared for his woman and future generations.
For Chu Huan, he has already thought about his future generations. Everyone will receive their own entrepreneurial capital when they reach adulthood.
If you can do well, you can naturally come back to take charge of a certain company. If you can't do well, then it will be enough to receive a living allowance of two to three hundred million per year. As for being in charge of a certain company, don't think about it.
Wen Mingzhang reported to Chu Huan about the recent situation in Xiangjiang, mainly the development of the companies he held.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After everything is finished, it is already night.
Chu Huan could only stop today's meeting. Except for Hehe International-Wheelock, which was officially taken over last year, other companies have also explained their situations clearly.
To put it simply, in the past year, the entire Xiangjiang Jiaku provided Chu Huan with a profit of almost 3.3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Chu Huan is still very satisfied with this data.
After Chu Huan announced that the meeting was over, others left the conference room one after another. John Qiao had to wait until tomorrow to report to Chu Huan on the situation of Hehe International-Wheelock. Zhong Zhichen stayed in accordance with Chu Huan's instructions.
Come down.
"In addition to the two cartoons "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil", you also need to send someone to your hometown!"
Zhong Zhichen was stunned, not understanding what Chu Huan meant, and guessed: "What the chairman means is that he wants to recruit some animators from his hometown?"
This time it was Chu Huan who was stunned by Zhong Zhichen. He had thought about this when he was in Shenghai, but later he forgot about it because of too many things.
At this time, the animation studios in my hometown, led by Yishenghai Art Studio, are still very competitive. It would be really good if we could poach some people there.
Thinking of this, Chu Huan also thought of a person who was very suitable for this matter - his cheap uncle Chen Xincheng, who was himself a painter at Shenghai Art Studio. If he stepped forward, he might really be able to do it on Shenghai's side.
A lot of people were recruited.
But Chu Huan would definitely not tell Zhong Zhichen that he had forgotten about this matter before.
"I have arranged for others to do this. I left you here for another thing!"
Zhong Zhichen asked Chu Huan in a daze: "Chairman, tell me!"
"I need you to send someone to your hometown to invite a group of experts on history to come to Xiangjiang. This includes experts on various dynasties and experts on modern history. Please invite as many as you can!"
Zhong Zhichen became more and more confused about Chu Huan's idea, "Does the chairman want to create a historical animation universe?"
He thought of the movie universe Chu Huan mentioned before, and thought Chu Huan was going to create one too!
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, I want you to make a series of animations, using animals from various countries to create an interesting animated story..."
Chu Huan's idea is actually a very famous animation series in later generations, "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year".
This series of animations is very important to Chu Huan. First of all, this animation has proven its success in later generations, and the Xiangjiang of this period is not the Xiangjiang of later generations. Everyone still has a very strong sense of belonging to their hometown. This is
There is a foundation for the success of "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year".
More importantly, if this series of animations can be produced, it will be publicity for my hometown, and it will be the kind of publicity my hometown wants to see most.
But at the same time, this way of expression will not arouse too much hostility from foreigners and can minimize this impact.
It can be said that it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
If the publicity is successful, Chu Huan will get more bonus points in his hometown, which will also help Chu Huan gain more support in his hometown in the future.
Moreover, Chu Huan is planning to let this animation be broadcast on TVB. With the blessing of this animation, TVB will be more likely to want to enter his hometown.
The most important thing is that if this series can be successful, then the peripherals of this animation will definitely become popular, but not now, but in the future after the market in my hometown is opened!
Feelings plus peripherals!
Simply the most powerful weapon.
Of course, for Chu Huan, the most important thing is still the attitude with his hometown.
After listening to Chu Huan's description of the outline of the story of "That Year of the Rabbit", Zhong Zhichen was really dumbfounded.
“Can animation still be produced like this?”
He really didn't expect that animation could be used to create these events.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. As long as we are willing to use our brains, we can definitely do it!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Huan suddenly thought that there are still some things that need to be paid attention to. For example, those secrets that have not yet been made public cannot be made into animations.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhong Zhichen to obtain information about things that have not been made public.
But Zhong Zhichen still needs to be reminded of this matter. In addition, Chu Huan believes that this matter should also be communicated with his hometown, so that he can not only get the attitude of the north on this matter at the first time, but also get more experts.
support.
"If this is the case, I will take care of this matter when I return to Xiangjiang." Zhong Zhichen said.
Chu Huan nodded, and then said to Wu Shuhan: "It is up to you to cooperate with the fantasy animation to complete this matter."
This is also an opportunity for Wu Shuhan to have better contact with the senior management in his hometown. In addition, although Chen Xincheng is the one doing this to recruit people at Shenghai Art Studio, he still needs someone to cooperate. These people
Among them, the only ones who know Chen Xincheng well are Wu Shuhan and Gu Chengxi.
But Gu Chengxi is now in charge of the black and white newspaper industry, so no matter how you look at it, it should be Wu Shuhan who does this!
Wu Shuhan asked with some doubts: "When are you going to Europe, boss?"
If Wu Shuhan is responsible for this matter, then her schedule will conflict with Chu Huan's schedule!
"You don't have to follow me when it comes to Europe, just take charge of this matter!"
