Tatsuo Nojima heard him say something before, so he asked, "Because of funding?"
Tao Zhiming nodded: "The royal family's long-term partner is certainly tempting, but it's really stressful now. But for the sake of the future, I agreed to him. I also put forward a condition, if you want to cooperate, you can cooperate with Sony. Compared with him and Citibank, I still admire Morita-san’s management ability. I have cooperated with Mitsui in many aspects, and now I want to find a way to sell some assets and help Sony take Columbia Pictures.”
Tatsuo Nojima and Shoo Morita looked at each other in blank dismay. Before knowing the conditions, they couldn't judge whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Tao Jun, how much money can you offer? What conditions do you want?"
"Since we're going to do this, I've made up my mind. In addition to finance and yachts, Nihong will focus on entertainment. Real estate... You know it, Brother Nojima. I'll let go as soon as possible, and lose some money." Lose some." Tao Zhiming pretended to be sorry, "The two princes want to take advantage of my resources and my little 'talent' in entertainment, and we both add up to get a little more shares. The specific funds , we can add up to 15 billion yuan.”
"A little more stock?" Tatsuo Nojima and Shoo Morita became embarrassed at the same time.
Tao Zhiming nodded: "We all know that the current premium of nearly 30% is unreasonable. My resources and the help I will bring to Columbia Pictures in the future will not be considered as extra value. Some cooperation will still be signed. But our investment can only be calculated based on the current stock price.”
Tatsuo Nojima and the two remained silent.
"I understand that this is equivalent to a higher share premium for you. However, Sony and Mitsui don't need to allocate an additional 15 billion yuan of funds. The 15 billion yuan of funds are used in other places that can generate more income. Isn't it a better choice?" Tao Zhiming looked at Tatsuo Nojima, "Brother Nojima, if Mitsui can expand cooperation with me in the field of semiconductors, I can sell the land of Wander Dance for 15 billion yuan To Mitsui. And, my dance hall will continue to rent that land for operation.”
Tatsuhiro Nojima's heart moved. The current price of that piece of land is actually slightly higher than 15 billion yuan.
Just as the two of them had previously tacitly stated, even if the neon bubble was about to be punctured, the first thing that would fall would be the stock market.But when the time comes, there will be a lot of money pouring into the field of real estate, because it can avoid risks.Although everyone knows that real estate will always fall back to a reasonable range, but with the mentality of a gambler, they will be betting that they will not be the last one to take the order.
Mitsui has Neon's top information and intelligence advantages, of course it can overcome this time difference.
The price of real estate, according to the evaluation of the research department within the consortium, has at least 20% room for growth. 15 billion yuan, earning 3 million yuan in about two years is also very impressive.Maybe even more if there's a little more hype.
Such a major event cannot be settled in a hurry, but Tao Zhiming threw this bait after all.
After they left, Li Jiaxin asked: "I always listen to you Columbia, Colombia, is it Colombia?"
The words were a bit convoluted, but Tao Zhiming understood.Many words in Neon language are originally transliterations of foreign words.
So he hugged Li Jiaxin in his arms and whispered, "I'll tell you this secret only if you can keep it from talking nonsense."
"Of course I won't talk nonsense!"
Only then did Tao Zhiming laugh and said, "There is a very good opportunity, I can buy Columbia Pictures in the United States together with Sony, and enter Hollywood."
Li Jiaxin's heart was shocked, Columbia Pictures, who in the entertainment industry would not know?
Breaking into Hollywood... she had a whim.
Then Tao Zhiming became distressed: "It will cost 15 billion yuan...a headache..."
Chapter 418: Shorting the Neon Stock Index with tens of billions of dollars
In the eyes of Tatsuo Nojima, Tao Zhiming first flew to Hokkaido in a private plane early the next morning, took the woman he saw last night for skiing there, and then flew directly to Xiangdao at night.
He called it a good guy, if Ueda Masahiro knew about this, he would probably kill him, right?
In one day, Tokyo, Hokkaido, and Kashima are all spoiled for choice. Don’t private jets cost fuel?
But Li Jiaxin knew that Tao Zhiming didn't take her to Hokkaido specially.
Because after playing with her for a while in the morning, I met Li Jiaxin who I met at noon.That was last year when "Forbes" announced the list of the world's richest people again, the richest man on the cover was Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the owner of Neon Seibu Group.
Naturally, she and Tao Zhiming went to the ski resort operated by Tsutsumi Yoshiming, and Tsutsumi Yoshiming personally received lunch.
There was also a young man who attended this lunch.Tao Zhiming introduced that this is the former young master of the Chiyan family, one of the major shareholder families of the Mitsubishi consortium of Nihong, and now he has given up the family business to others, and he has mixed up with Tao Zhiming.
It is said that he was still a singer in Tao Zhiming's ballroom for a while.
In this regard, Li Jiaxin can only secretly sigh with emotion.The young master of the major shareholder family of the consortium, doesn't that mean that his identity is much stronger than that of Xiangdao's Li Shaoguo?
Such a person let the successor of the big shareholder family of the big consortium quit and come to hang out with him, what else is there to say?
Li Jiaxin could tell from the surprised eyes of Di Yiming and Chiyan Yangshui that Tao Zhiming had never brought other women to meet them before.
Although she doesn't know Neon, she learned the pronunciation of words like "Ueda" and "Xana" before coming here.
Sure enough, I heard her name from Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's mouth, still in that teasing tone.
This lunch, Li Jiaxin couldn't understand what they were talking about.
I could only see the serious expressions of Di Yiming and Tao Zhiming, and that Chiyan Yangshui only listened to Tao Zhiming, and seemed to be in charge of the follow-up work.
Chiyan Yangshui followed Di Yiming after lunch, while Tao Zhiming bought a set of ski equipment for Li Jiaxin at this ski resort and stored it here.
Li Jiaxin thinks it is very sweet, which means that she will often bring her over to play in the future.
On the way back to Xiangdao, she asked, "What kind of business are you talking about today?"
"He wants to develop a large new urban area in Tokyo, and he will bring me in together. The total investment is 2 trillion yen... That's about 1200 billion Hong Kong dollars." Tao Zhiming rubbed his head again, "Headache..."
This time Li Jiaxin behaved well, and stretched out her fingers to help him rub.
Even if Zhao Yuanxi was sitting not far away, she didn't care, anyway, he must know.
So I heard Zhao Yuanxi say: "Tokyo's housing prices are already very dangerous. He has a lot of money, so he knows to recruit you to share the risk. At the semiconductor factory, you also bought Nikon's lithography machine, and ASML's lithography machine. You can also buy. The equipment of the two factories, two sets of people. If you want to go to the United States to win Intel's CPU OEM order, the environment and process quality in the factory must meet the standards they require. This year will require an additional investment of at least 5 billion Hong Kong dollars."
Li Jiaxin's people are a bit numb, and the numbers they heard in the past two days are all in units of one hundred million.
Tao Zhiming closed his eyes: "Intel's OEM order must be won."
"Wanzhou Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. on the Bay Island is also talking to them about this matter. They started a little earlier than us."
"There was a big fire last year, and their pace is already slower than ours." Tao Zhiming opened his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "We can just do it ourselves."
Li Jiaxin's heart pounded when he heard it, what's the fire?Sounds like some kind of competitive approach.
"We are shareholders of ASML, and ASML has 27.5% of the shares in GSMC. Although the insurance company has recognized the policy, but they have to hand over the 17 lithography machines to them, why don't they give priority to supplying us?" Zhao Yuanxi Some can't figure it out.
"For the foundry model, it is better for two companies to venture into it than our family." Tao Zhiming's voice was still flat, "Besides, in order for Iwasaki Ryunosuke to be the person in charge of the charity fund, he proposed The conditions let me buy their Mitsubishi Nikon lithography machine. The price is more reasonable than outside, why not buy it? ASML’s lithography machine is still not as good as Nikon.”
"Hey!" Zhao Yuanxi sighed helplessly, "I know that the relationship with Neon is also very important. However, there is no order for two sets of equipment and two production lines. I am anxious."
"Old Zhao!"
Tao Zhiming raised his voice a little, which surprised Li Jiaxin.In private, the two now seem to have a disagreement about that semiconductor factory.
"Neon's semiconductors are now fully contracted due to the sanctions of the United States. Zhou Country has received technical support from the United States, and Neon is also using Zhou Country to bypass the sanctions of the United States through investment and authorized foundry. Tao Zhiming frowned and explained, "The investment in the semiconductor field is not for the profit of the current year or two! It is for the future after 20 or [-] years! If you need money, tell me, and I will take it out!"
Zhao Yuanxi fell silent.
The atmosphere in the cabin was a bit depressing. Li Jiaxin couldn't understand what they said, but it was obvious that the two of them had disagreements about the factory.
After a long time, Zhao Yuanxi said: "You sold some of the properties on the Neon side, and the funds were drawn out. Isn't the real estate in Xiangdao the best investment direction? You said that the film and television city and the yacht home port 20 or [-] years later. But Neon is our current profitable industry. After selling it, we will invest in the film and television city, yacht home port and semiconductor factory on the Xiangdao side. When will we make money back? "
"I haven't lost the financial sector of Neon." Tao Zhiming paused before sighing, "I know that your main stocks are now with the Dow Group in Xiangdao. In this way, I will give you a share in Pantao." Allocate another 1% of the shares."
Li Jiaxin saw that Zhao Yuanxi's eyes lit up, and then said hesitantly, "I can't afford 1% of Pantao Club's shares."
"After last year's dividends are calculated, you can raise more than 1000 million yuan after it is distributed to you. That's enough. I still only give you 1 million yuan per share."
Li Jiaxin will answer this question, that is to say, Tao Zhiming's core company is now calculated at 30 billion yuan.Judging from what he said, this was obviously a price for Zhao Yuanxi.In other words, if outsiders want to enter his core holding company, the price may have to double.Tao Zhiming's net worth is more than the 30 billion yuan mentioned by "Forbes".
Moreover, it seems that Mr. Zhao's dividend last year was more than 1000 million rice gold. Isn't that more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars?
Zhao Yuanxi still muttered: "Columbia Pictures...is suffering serious losses and has so many debts. If you invest in it, it may take ten years to turn losses into profits."
Tao Zhiming laughed and said: "Old Zhao, after passing this threshold, we will reach the level of tens of billions of dollars. If we want to pass this threshold, there are some difficulties that we have to overcome. Isn't it less than three years? Trust my eyes."
"...That's true. In addition, I think the shares of TVB can be sold off. Now the stock price has risen back."
Tao Zhiming immediately shook his head, squeezed Li Jiaxin's hand and said with a smile: "Since Jiaxin is willing to follow me, and she insists on trying to be an actress, I must find a way to praise her. This year I will pick a movie." Good show, let her be the heroine! If I sell the equity, Shao Sheng won't have to sell me this face."
Zhao Yuanxi frowned, and then replied rather boringly: "Okay."
Li Jiaxin was elated, and kissed Tao Zhiming face to face, and then said: "I will definitely act well."
"I'm waiting for the day you cry, don't believe me."
"Are you just looking down on me like that? What if it becomes a hit?"
"Of course I will continue to treat you as a cash cow."
Hearing that they started to play, Zhao Yuanxi said, "I'll go and take a nap for a while."
He walked towards the middle of the cabin, feeling really tired in his heart.When that guy Tao Zhiming was acting, why was he so easy to handle?
But Zhao Yuanxi couldn't figure it out, why did Tao Zhiming think that Li Jiaxin would yell these words out?
If it is a test of whether she is reliable, it makes sense.He and Li Jiaxin obviously didn't have much close friendship before, why did he feel that she was not strict with her mouth?
After lying down on the comfortable sofa, Zhao Yuanxi figured it out.
Who cares, since this guy has started to show mercy in Xiangdao, even if Li Jiaxin's mouth is really strict, there are still people who are not strict.He always has other ways to let others hear Tao Zhiming's "status quo" and believe in it.
……
Sure enough, just as Zhao Yuanxi thought, Tao Zhiming came to Xiangdao this time to inspect the semiconductor factory with great fanfare.
"I've said it over and over again, this is a high-tech factory, and everything needs to be done in strict accordance with the design standards! The American side has very high requirements, dust-free! Dust-free! The engineer at Nikon told me that the training Time is lazy and perfunctory, how do you manage it?..."
"Also! Fire prevention, greening! How did Wan Semiconductors burn it, and didn't learn from it? Zhao Yuanxi, if you can't do it well, you should give up your seat earlier!..."
"What does it mean that production has not yet started? If you don't find a good packaging and testing partner in advance, and wait until production starts? There is no need to connect the process standards? The engineers on both sides don't need to communicate? These hundreds of millions of meters have been thrown away, last year. You will give me such a result?"
Zhao Yuanxi felt even more tired.
Acting is really tiring.
It seems that Tao Zhiming also wants to give it a try. Now that the semiconductor factory is recruiting people from Xiangdao and Nihong, is there any nail buried by others?
After Tao Zhiming took him away from the silicon chip, he pretended to thump his shoulders in the car: "Mr. Zhao, you are tired, calm down, go back and ask your wife to cook an extra pot of soup and put more goji berries."
Zhao Yuanxi looked at him helplessly: "What do you mean adding more wolfberries? Is this what you need?"
"I'm fine." Tao Zhiming's eyes were all bright, "I'm still far from enough."
"..." Zhao Yuanxi couldn't complain.
Li Jiaxin came back on a private plane with Tao Zhiming, and stayed in Tao Zhiming's house for a night first.I was picked up at noon the next day, and then went to a high-end restaurant for lunch.In the afternoon, although she went to see a luxury real estate with her girlfriends, how could she afford a house there with her net worth when she just debuted?
How powerful are the paparazzi in Xiangdao?The new Miss Hong Kong who is attracting attention and the newly promoted wealthy family who are becoming more and more famous in Hong Kong Island, such lace news appeared in some newspapers and magazines that night.
It seemed that this time it was no longer a pretentious matter. The sales lady of the real estate said plausibly that Li Jiaxin was wearing a ten-carat diamond ring.
Qiu Shuzhen, who read the report at night, was a little dazed, and then muttered contemptuously: "Huaxin Daluo! I don't know if she is on that yacht again."
And Rosamund Kwan, who was at home after work during the filming break, was lazily holding a red wine glass, with a mocking smile on his lips, but his eyes were very confused.
Li Ju, who had an ulterior motive, wentssiped and asked Tao Zhiming directly: "Is it really taken? Is the fiancée over there going to leave?"
"Let's talk first, let's talk first..." Tao Zhiming was just perfunctory.
"Brother Tao is still great, but now you will be hated in Xiangdao."
"Why do you hate me? Of course, you can only hate yourself for not being capable."
"...This is so shocking, and I hate it too."
"Come on, there is a long list of targets in your little book. They all say that I am romantic, who have I provoked on Xiangdao?"
After laughing and laughing, I officially talked about the first phase of the film and television city. The progress of the development of several era style streets next to the commercial block over there, which may involve whether the Li family can transfer another piece of Lamma Island to the home port of the yacht. to him on time.
After all, it is a matter of money.
The era style street has been built to a certain extent, which has a great impact on the land price of the commercial block that the Li family and the others built together.
After all, the relocation of the new airport will be finalized and announced this year.
Xiangdao seems to be a bottomless pit that consumes Tao Zhiming's funds. Silicon chip, yacht home port, film and television city...everything needs money, and now there is an extra "favorite concubine" to please her.
If the Li family knew about these situations, the Tao Ya people would know about it.
If the people of Tao Ya knew about it, those people in the consortium whose buttocks were crooked would know about it.
Tao Zhiming ordered the goods for the Oyert royal family's order, but the news that he could only pay the bill at the end of the year, the people inside the consortium knew it, and the Tao Ya people could also know it.
In addition, the 15 billion yuan fund raised by the two princes has been coveted by Columbia Pictures since he expressed his intention at the time but has been betting on it until today.
The funding gap that Tao Zhiming created for the outside world has approached his total net worth assessed by Forbes.
If Tao Yaren and the people behind him are really planning to eat Tao Zhiming's wealth in this crisis of the neon bubble bursting, they should do something, right?
Selling some of Neon’s real estate assets and gradually selling off Neon’s stock market stocks this year, these actions of cashing out and filling holes have excuses.
The hole filled is a larger piece of real estate in Tokyo: Tokyo Yacht Homeport.
Tao Zhiming waited to see who would jump out, whether they were going to harvest him, or join him in harvesting others.
Only those people Tao Zhiming trusted the most knew his true strength now.
In addition to enough money to meet the current layout that has been cut off from the capital chain and to repay debts, the short funds he personally used to harvest the neon stock market, 100 billion yuan, have already been distributed.
What puzzled him was that the Tao Ya people really disappeared for several months.
