Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 356

Haibu Jun continued: "I believe everyone knows that today I am concerned about the situation of tourism. In fact, the neon has developed to such a prosperity today. In addition to more and more nationals going out for tourism, it attracts foreign tourists to come here. Neon has great potential to experience culture, consumption, and shopping. I hope to find a way for Neon to combine culture and tourism for development. If more places can not rely on industry, real estate or finance Prosperity means that people don’t have to crowd all over metropolises like Tokyo and Osaka for job opportunities, and feel tremendous pressure for high real estate prices.”

Now everyone understands that the truth is the truth, but can this be done by traveling?

But in the past two years, although golf and skiing have been hot, haven't they all turned into real estate and financial speculation in the end?

At this point, Haibu Jun said to Tao Zhiming: "Tao Jun, you are building a yacht home port in Tokyo, and you have proposed the idea of ​​Nanpu Bay in Hokkaido. Do you have any ideas for my idea?"

Tao Zhiming, who should cooperate with him in the performance, did his best to perform. First of all, he smiled: "Since my father came back to Kansai, I have been here many times, and I love this city more and more. In fact, there were also people in Osaka Bay The idea of ​​building a home port for yachts can only be built in Tokyo first.”

No one thought he was resigning, because after all, Jun Kaibu seemed to be here because of him.

Masahiko Nishino is even more aware that Yasuko Sawaguchi said that he planned a movie, and it seems that he needs to obtain the approval of Muneu Uno.Now that I and Chairman Xiao Lin appear here, it should be related to this, right?

Sure enough, Tao Zhiming continued: "When it comes to tourism, it reminds me of an example. When "Snow Country" won the first Nobel Prize for Neon, Yuzawa Town became a famous symbol. President Tsui has a long-term vision. A ski competition was held there. When the Shinkansen opened there, skiing became a new fashion. The year before last, Chairman Nishino and Toho's love movie "Take Me to Ski" was the best support for this craze. Propellant. Chairman Di told me that since the movie was released, the number of people skiing last year has increased by nearly 40% compared to the previous year, which is really impressive.”

Masahiko Nishino saw that he brought the topic here, and said modestly: "Where is it? In fact, we made this movie because we saw the rise of skiing."

Tao Zhiming smiled, and then said to Jun Haibu: "Master Haibu, if you talk about ideas... I think that maybe literary works, comics, animations, TV dramas, movies, and even games, these cultural products can promote tourism. If you want to attract more foreign tourists, you need to increase your efforts to promote it abroad. Of course, there must be more popular works like "Take Me to Ski."

"Propaganda through movies and TV dramas?" Haibu Jun looked thoughtful, "This must form a long-term model and mechanism."

Tao Zhiming pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue. As you all know, I invested in an art creation park on the shore of Onuma Lake in Hokkaido. Among them, there is a film and television production park. The base. I invested in a TV series "You Who Came from the Stars" last year, and many scenes were filmed there. At that time, I had the idea that the film and television shooting base could also be used for tourism, so I planned another one in Xiangdao. Film and Television City Project."

Following this topic, as if interested, he introduced what is called a film and television city, and what kind of industry scale can be incubated around the film and television city in the future.

Jun Haibu shook his head when he heard the words: "Neon at this moment, continue to carry out this kind of large-scale real estate development. Although it is a tourism project, it will still bring about an increase in the price of surrounding real estate."

He shook his head like this, but the people from Daiichi Kanye Bank and Hankyu Electric Railway moved in their hearts.

Could it be that they are acting?Could it be that this was Tao Zhiming's suggestion, and Jun Haibu came here because of him, just to find a safe solution in Kyoto?

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "That kind of film and television city is comprehensive and closed. After all, it is a newly built building, not those real historical sites. As for Kyoto, I think the whole city can be regarded as an open film and television city. .Although people need to enjoy the convenience of modern life, if the places where ancient buildings are more concentrated can try to renovate the overly modern decoration, bury things such as wires underground, and encourage residents to wear traditional clothes as much as possible, probably It will also be very flavorful. In the suburban villages, if we build some scene-style small scenic spots in the Edo period, it will be able to adapt to the shooting of most film and television works. President Nishino, what do you think?"

"It's true... If you don't need to build a scene, the production cost of many works with ancient themes can be reduced a lot."

Kobayashi Naoki of Hankyu Electric Railway knew why he was here. Reminiscent of the places Kaifu Jun had been to today, he immediately said: "The eastern section of Shijo Street, between the gate of Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple, is very suitable for this idea!"

Why is he so active?Because the Hankyu Electric Railway has multiple subway stations such as Shijo in that area.The surrounding area of ​​the subway station is full of commercial complexes.

If that area catches fire, the real estate of Hankyu Electric Railway will have a predictable increase.

"Do you try your best to restore the style and appearance of the Edo period?" Fumio Nagasawa sighed and shook his head, "The housing density in Kyoto is very high, with a large number of households. Besides, the modern infrastructure is already very complete, how can it be changed back?"

"Governor Nagasawa, in fact, the angle is very important when filming and filming. As long as there are some indoor scenes that are very in line with the style of the times, small-scale courtyards can already meet the needs of many scenes. Panoramic views, through special photography It’s easy to implement. It’s enough to form some [-]-meter-long streetscapes. Isn’t it, Chairman Nishino?”

"Indeed."

Fumio Nagasawa still frowned: "But even if this is the case, it will cost a lot of money to transform..."

Tao Zhiming asked Haibu Jun: "Master Haibu, what do you think of my idea? Combining film and television and other cultural works with tourism will make Kyoto an open shooting and viewfinder base. small blocks, and dotted with various scenes in the city and suburbs. If there is such a place, the film and television works invested by President Nishino and I in the future can also reduce the cost in the long run.”

"Since we can cover the cost of Tao Junjie's senior officials, then I wonder if we can plan some film or TV drama projects, use part of the production cost, and ask Kyoto to modify some scenes as needed?" Haibu Jun said with a slap in the face Follow the look on the stick.

Tao Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "In this case, the one-time investment cost is too high..."

Kaifu Toshi looked at Nagasawa Fumio sincerely: "Nagasawa-san, if there are many film companies and TV production departments to support, Kyoto should also have industrial support policies and efforts. According to the "International Cultural Tourism City Construction Law" , should be able to discuss countermeasures at the Kyoto Prefectural Office and local councils?"

"This..." Nagasawa Fumio reluctantly responded, "I'm afraid we need a more comprehensive planning plan, and we need to conduct various investigations and research..."

"Tao Jun, can I ask you to do this?" Haibu Jun said with a diligent attitude and a very modest tone, "All of you here know you well. The plan of a Tokyo yacht home port promoted the establishment of Odaiba Linhai in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Since you have a preliminary idea, you should be able to think more deeply, right? Tao Jun and Sony bought Columbia Pictures together, so you have a bigger plan in the film and television industry, right?"

"Although this is the case, but..." Tao Zhiming also expressed a little hesitation, but looking at Jun Haibu, as if thinking of his identity, he still smiled and said, "Then give me some time and let me think about it carefully." Come up with a plan."

"Please!" Toshi Kaibu looked very grateful, and then continued to act, "Everyone, I was ordered in the face of danger, and I have already obtained everyone's commitment to support my strategy of promoting the country with science and technology and the strategy of strengthening the country with culture. The desire for consumption and the love of travel in an increasingly open world must contain huge opportunities. Even if everyone talks about moving away from real estate and finance a little bit, and making a small investment for the long-term future , and worth it, I think so!"

"So, besides Tao Jun's idea, if you have any other ideas, I will also ask you!"

Jun Haibu, who has not officially taken office, appears to be full of enthusiasm and dedication.

Naturally, Tao Zhiming would not just take the initiative to throw out the things that have been discussed.

When the meeting reached nearly ten o'clock, Kaibu Jun actually rushed to Osaka again.

This made Qingtian Yongchen a little confused, pulled Ueda Masahiro and asked: "Didn't Master Kaibu come here because of Dalang?"

"How could it be?" Tao Zhiming took the initiative to answer, "I also received a call from Mr. Haibu's secretary. I had some guesses, so I wanted to ask you to discuss it first. Who would have thought that Mr. Haibu would choose to invite everyone to open this event at the same time?" Meeting."

Takagi Hitohachi and Kobayashi Naoki who also received the call from Ueda Masahiro couldn't help asking: "What guess?"

Tao Zhiming sighed: "This involves Master Yuno... Everyone, it's not too late, why don't we find another place to sit?"

Qingtian Yongchen immediately said: "Go to my restaurant!"

When everyone arrived and sat down, they couldn't help but look at Tao Zhiming in admiration after hearing Tao Zhiming talk about making a movie about geisha to take advantage of the popularity of the Uno Soyou scandal.

The bones are not cold, you just consume others!

I'm ashamed to ask for advice from others, and face to face!

Soyou Uno's blood pressure must have been high at the time.

You are so brave.

In the end, Tao Zhiming said several purposes, and they all opened their mouths wide like Uno Soyou and Hashimoto Taro.

Of course, it is impossible for Tao Zhiming to say in front of the chairman of Toho and Hankyu Electric Railway that he wants to eat them in the future, and he did not disclose the specific idea of ​​the film, but only emphasized that he must spare no effort to create a film with international influence Determination.

Nobuhiko Horikawa and Hitohachi Takagi of the Daiichi Kangyo Bank now understand why he can get along well with big political figures like Suzuki Shunji and Hashimoto Taro, because his mind is really flexible.

Soyou Uno was able to survive the desperate situation with this idea, no wonder he sat down "sincerely" at the press conference.

Good guy, doesn't this mean that after Yuno Zongyou backed down, he would turn around his plan?

However, Qing Tianyongchen's heart was full of alarm bells, and the others looked at Ueda Masahiro after recalling it.

Your son-in-law wants to make that Yasuko Sawaguchi an international superstar with so much effort, and he wants to play a couple with her himself.

You... really don't want to kill him?

Chapter 446: In what way am I worse than Jiro?

Facing the involuntary gazes of the crowd and politely retracting them, Ueda Masahiro looked calm.

He already knew everything.At home before coming here, the two sides had a friendly and candid communication under the referee of Shaner, and finally reached a consensus.

Now after Tao Zhiming introduced the reasons for his "guessing", he sighed and said: "It seems that in order to convince Lord Uno, the functions I mentioned were taken seriously by Lord Haibu, and he believed that the so-called 'cultural power' can be used as a Strategy. After "My Neighbor Totoro" was released last year, I introduced it through Blockbuster in the United States, and the response was not bad. After acquiring Columbia Pictures together with Sony, I am trying to promote the Oscar to establish an award for the best animated feature film. It seems that Lord Haibu has also paid attention to this information."

Masahiko Nishino's heart moved. Although he has only entered this industry for a short time, his financial resources and breadth of resources are really scary.

In fact, Dongbao's work library is also very large. I don't know if we can strengthen cooperation in the future.

Hearing this, Nobuhiko Horikawa of Daiichi Kanye Bank and Naoki Kobayashi of Hankyu Electric Railway may not believe it completely, but at least it seems to be the case.

What's more, it is normal for Jun Kaifu, who was introduced by a small faction, to "send charcoal in the snow" to win over the power of his predecessor Uno Soyou.

After all, everyone is a very decent man in this society, who has nothing to do with women?Soyou Uno is really "injustice".

Except that I, the "Yongzhinan of the Ueda family", are frank and frank, so that now I want to use my grandson as my son.

Naoki Kobayashi is the most concerned now. After hearing Tao Zhiming's words, he nodded his head and analyzed: "It seems so. Now that the people are calling for the suppression of real estate prices, Mr. Haibu will prepare for the re-election in two years and the House of Representatives in three years. Considering the reelection, it is impossible to continue to promote large-scale real estate development projects at this critical point in time. The development of technology and culture does have a righteous name. Judging from the choice of Kyoto as the first stop, this matter should be very serious pushed."

"However, I hope that we can take the opportunity of investing in the next film and TV series projects and use some of the money to help rebuild and build such urban landscape scenes in Kyoto. This investment is not small." Tao Zhiming said awkwardly, "Besides, it's not that much. A lot of energy has been devoted to Kyoto, to communicate with so many local residents. What I am talking about is my thoughts about the future, and I think Kyoto can slowly develop into that. Now it seems that Kaibu-sama can't wait."

"After all, the remaining tenure is only a little over two years." Kobayashi Naoki echoed, and then began to test, "For such a thing, of course, it is necessary to rely on long-term planning to create expectations, and immediately show determination with little investment in specific actions. Then we can provide enough support for Lord Haibu first. If it is only to transform a small part of the movie that Tao Jun just mentioned, it should not be a big investment, right?"

Tao Zhiming shook his head, looked at Masahiko Nishino and said: "Chairman Nishino is also very clear, if you build the scenes yourself, you don't need to consider their safety for long-term residential use, everything can be kept simple, and the standards are completely different. Now, if you want to use real residential buildings for renovation, how can the investment be so small? Lord Haibu also understands this, so he persuaded the Kyoto Prefecture to introduce some supporting policies."

After speaking, he also looked at Kobayashi Naoki: "President Kobayashi, Master Kaibu asked me to come up with a more detailed planning plan. You mentioned Shijo Street at the meeting. You must have some ideas?"

Naoki Kobayashi looked at Nobuhiko Horikawa, and then said frankly: "The Hankyu Electric Railway has several tram stops in that area. If it is to improve the tourist reception capacity in the future, there are not only a lot of ancient buildings there, but also convenient transportation. Naturally, it is very important." suitable."

Tao Zhiming nodded clearly, and then said: "In this case, can Pantao Yinghua and Dongbao invest together to produce this movie? Since Hankyu Electric Railway has additional benefits, this part of the initial investment, It seems more appropriate for Hankyu Electric Railway to invest in it, right?"

Let's talk about substance.

Masahiko Nishino is of course very interested in participating in this movie.Don't watch anything else, just watch Tao Zhiming say so much in front of Uno Zongyou, he must do a good job in this movie.In addition, he himself played the role, not to mention whether he can really enter the foreign market, but his popularity in China alone can bring a part of the box office.

The youngest rich man and Yasuko Sawaguchi, how many publicity points can they rely on gossip?

But Naoki Kobayashi didn’t want to take on this situation: “If Mr. Tao didn’t get involved deeply, and Hankyu Electric Railway supported Kyoto Prefecture to complete the initial renovation of this kind of shooting base, Mr. Tao would not be enough if he only made movies here. Let the Kyoto Prefecture persuade the citizens to look forward to the future, right?"

Tao Zhiming first put on an appearance that he was unwilling to pay the extra money, and what he wanted to exchange was only chips.

Hearing this, Tao Zhiming looked embarrassed, and then slowly said: "Actually, I was planning to discuss with Chairman Nishino after returning to Tokyo. After Miss Sawaguchi's "You Who Came from the Star" I think she has the potential to promote her as an international actor. Chairman Nishino, if Ms. Sawaguchi is not an actor under our Wander Star, I can only choose an actor who has already signed a contract. After all, the upcoming The resources invested in this plan are indeed huge. President Nishino, I wonder what price Toho needs from me to terminate the contract with Ms. Sawaguchi?"

Masahiko Nishino was stunned for a moment, looked at Tao Zhiming, then at Naoki Kobayashi, and then secretly glanced at Masahiro Ueda.

Weng and son-in-law are in harmony, as long as it is here?No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a girl!You look as flat as a robot!

Naoki Kobayashi was thinking, and Masahiko Nishino was the president of Toho, so he could only falter and say: "Miss Sawaguchi is the champion selected by the first Toho Cinderella, and Toho has also invested a lot of resources in the past five years to achieve this goal." Build her into a new generation of star performers. If the first Dongbao Cinderella wants to leave now, it will be detrimental to us to continue holding this selection in the future..."

Masahiko Nishino is telling the truth, and Yasuko Sawaguchi has grown into a cash cow.Whether it is as a box office or ratings selling point, or to use her attractiveness to build a good relationship with various dignitaries, how can she let her go easily?

But Naoki Kobayashi was thinking in his heart, how much potential benefit Hankyu Electric Railway would have through the establishment of an inseparable relationship with Toshi Kaibe's "Kansai Strategy" and the entire "Cultural Power" strategy through this incident.

As for Dongbao Cinderella, if there is a first session, there will naturally be a second and third session in the future.The Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe is full of all kinds of unmarried women with very good backgrounds. With Dongbao's strength, it is only a blink of an eye to introduce a few new stars.

The key is how to sell a good price.

So he also said: "Tao Jun, since you mentioned Miss Sawaguchi, if you have any suggestion, you might as well tell me."

Tao Zhiming replied frankly: "The focus of Pantao Films lies in production, while Dongbao has strong distribution capabilities. In order to make the plan of Kyoto's film and television drive tourism convincing, Pantao Films can promise that in the next ten years, it will Kyoto produces ten film and television dramas for the stage. In addition, Dongbao can issue 10% of new shares to me, and I can entrust Dongbao with full rights to distribute these ten works in Neon China. In this case, it is equivalent to Hankyu Dentetsu is supporting the strategy of Kyoto, and Toho can also enjoy the follow-up returns brought about by investing a lot of resources in Ms. Sawaguchi."

"What's the price for private placement of 10% new shares?" Naoki Kobayashi had sharp eyes.

"Of course at the current market price." Tao Zhiming smiled.

If an influential person like Tao Zhiming joins Dongbao's shareholder sequence, it will be great news for the stock price.Moreover, a 10% shareholding ratio does not have much right to speak.

Kobayashi Naoki asked again: "If the two of us carry out such in-depth cooperation, what are the conditions for Dongbao's cooperation in adapting the copyrights of works owned by Tao Jun's Shueisha and Jiyuan Culture?"

"I am now adopting the production committee system for the animation of comics and the production of theatrical versions. In this regard, Toho is naturally the most preferred partner."

Naoki Kobayashi looked at Masahiko Nishino: "Nishino-san, what do you think?"

The potential earnings of Hankyu Electric Railway itself have little to do with Masahiko Nishino.He was more concerned about the changes in Dongbao's shareholders' meeting, so he asked, "Tao Jun, 10% of the shares is not small. Since you want to hold shares in Dongbao, should Pantao Yinghua also accept it?" Us as shareholders?"

One is the assembly club that has already been listed, and the other is a new club that has just been established.

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "In three years, in order to support the new star director project, I will spend 150 billion yen in Pantao Films; in order to support the Kyoto strategy and the key project "Memoirs of a Geisha", I will spend at least 100 billion yen in three years." Billion yen, right? My investment in Pantao Films can now be calculated as 300 billion yen, if Dongbao is willing to take the risk with me, I certainly welcome it."

Masahiko Nishino has nothing to say, you are so rich and awesome.

Dongbao's annual turnover is only more than 100 billion yen. If it wants to account for 10% equally, wouldn't it be necessary to spend two or three years of net profit?

The budget for making this movie is 100 billion yen, Masahiro Ueda, don't you care about him?

What kind of movie needs such a big budget of 100 billion yen!

Masahiro Ueda stood still.

The 100 billion yen mentioned by Tao Zhiming is naturally not just a movie of "Memoirs of a Geisha", but also to invest in Dongbao.He helped raise Toho's stock price expectations, and made the parent company Hankyu Electric Railway willing to invest money to support Kyoto's plan, which is regarded as support for the Kyoto strategy.

Therefore, he said: "If Chairman Kobayashi can renovate the required scenes in the Shijo Street area according to the shooting needs of this movie, the residents who benefit from it can sign a cooperation agreement with Dongbao, and Dongbao will be responsible for the follow-up film and television projects. If I rent a location for shooting, Dongbao and the residents will share. Dongbao also plans some projects, including 10 of mine and Dongbao's projects. Master Haibu will also contact other clubs, residents There should be quite a few people who are willing to participate in this matter, right?"

Kobayashi Naoki's thoughts changed sharply, and this proposal was exactly what he was thinking.

If Toho can first monopolize the right to rent residential houses, shrines, and ancient temples in Kyoto that can be used for film and television drama shooting, with this interest exchange, Hankyu Electric Railway can have a lot of influence in Kyoto.

These are all votes.

Thinking about it, the increase in the stock prices of Hankyu Electric Railway and Toho, the appreciation of Hankyu Electric Railway's real estate, and the establishment of connections with the new cabinet, the potential influence that can be exerted on Kyoto Prefecture in the future... the price paid , It is to first spend a sum of money to help Kyoto Prefecture convince some residents, shrines, and ancient temples.In addition, the contract with Yasuko Sawaguchi was terminated.

If through Dongbao to issue 10% new shares to Tao Zhiming, not only will Dongbao's development be related to his immediate interests, but also a part of the money will be raised.And... this guy's network is also very extensive, very valuable!

Naoki Kobayashi looked at Nobuhiko Horikawa at this time, and asked with a smile on his face: "San Horikawa, if Hankyu Electric Railway and Tao Jun stand up to support this plan in Kyoto Prefecture first, will Daiichi Kanye Bank be optimistic about our future? How about getting a good return from it? If there is a credit loan for this project, it will also be the support of the First Quanye Bank to the Kyoto Prefecture."

Horikawa Nobuhiko, who only expressed his position as a consortium at the meeting, and has not spoken since he came here, looked at Tao Zhiming, but did not answer Kobayashi Naoki with his first sentence: "Based on Mr. Tao's past vision and rewards, Pantao Yinghua welcomes you. If someone takes the risk, we are very interested in the first Quanye."

Tao Zhiming looked at him without changing his face: "That would be the best. In this case, First Quanye not only supported my Pantao movie, but also supported Hankyu Electric Railway. With everyone's common optimism, then I will base it on this Let’s complete the plan and hand it over to Lord Kaifu and Governor Nagasawa.”

The general direction seemed to be settled, but after Tao Zhiming and Ueda Masahiro got in the car back to the dojo, Horikawa Nobuhiko who got back in the car kept frowning, and then asked Takagi Renpachi: "That Fukaya Riko back then, Have you tried to contact her again after being asked to go by him from the bank?"

"...When I was still in Neon, there was. Now, she has been arranged to go to the United States."

"What about attitude?"

"As bland as ever."

Horikawa Nobuhiko kept frowning, and then said: "For a while, I always feel that Abe Taro and Miyazawa Kiji have a strange attitude towards me. I always feel that Tokyo Kaguracho's plan is a bit weird. The listing of the National Railway Branch will be carried out soon, if it is to let those who don’t know the risk to invest in it, why does he have to spend so much money to speed up the construction of the Gate of Heaven?”

Takagi Renpachi said: "Everyone judges that the amount of funds and interest chains involved in real estate is too large, and the time to go wrong will be slower than that of the financial market. It is probably to undertake the batch of funds that will be withdrawn from the financial market to avoid risks. Bar."

Nobuhiko Horikawa shook his head: "In the listing plan of the National Railway West Nihong, the real estate project we plan is just to absorb the funds of those guys through the formation of a consortium in advance. Even if it is to avoid risks, his current investment costs are too high. It's too big, there must be something wrong here. Renba, you have dealt with Tao Dalang more often, try to get some information from him."

"I understand." Gao Murenba nodded, and then confirmed, "Master President, you mentioned Fukani Riko, which means..."
