Chapter 757 The First Class in Xiangjiang

In this world, if we want to say who knows Shen Bi best, Yin Jun will definitely be ranked in the top five.

Because during the rise of Superman Li, Shen Bi has always been an unavoidable figure.

Without Shen Bi, Li Chaoren would definitely have been successful, but maybe he wouldn't have been that successful, and he wouldn't have been able to dominate the title of the richest man in China for so many years.

Li Chaoren rarely talks about friendship with others, and usually only talks about business.

Moreover, he is very low-key and generally does not want to be in the limelight.

But when Shen Bi left the cocktail party in Xiangjiang, Li Chaoren very high-profile and in front of many guests gave him a one-meter-high model of the HSBC headquarters made of pure gold. The value of the gold alone was More than HKD 50 million! !

Therefore, Yin Jun, who is familiar with the history of Li Chaoren's rise, also checked more information about Shen Bi and gained a lot of understanding of this man's life.

Although it is just a few introductions, these were all summarized by Li Chaoren for Shen Bi many years after he resigned. With Li Chaoren's wisdom, he naturally explained it very appropriately.

Shen Bi is a typical Scotsman.

Irritable, stingy, suspicious, greedy for money, taciturn.

When seeing the word "greed for money", some people may have an "inspiration" and think that many things can be done by just stuffing money.

All the people in Xiangjiang who had such an idea rushed to the street, and no one could succeed.

Because behind this greed for money, there are also character traits such as suspicion, irritability, and stinginess.

Although Shen Bi is greedy for money, he usually doesn't use the convenience of his position to make profits. This will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and he may even lose his position.

His greed for money is more reflected in the various rewards he sets for himself after achieving business goals or exceeding goals such as profits. ——This is how Shen Bi's great success in the eyes of others comes from, because only when he succeeds in big business can he get more dividends.

When Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Group continues to develop in the future, all financial transactions will be handled by HSBC, which will bring a lot of operating income to HSBC. Therefore, Shen Bi thinks that he is sensible and will give him support. a lot of.

When dealing with Shen Bi, firstly, you must not be hasty, and secondly, you must follow him and let him dominate the entire situation. Only in this way can you have the possibility of success.

Yin Jun now wants to find Shen Bi, and his status is naturally enough, but he cannot be reckless.

There must be an intermediary, and if you want to talk to Shen Bi about anything, you must tell him first. Shen Bi has thought about it and is willing to meet Yin Jun. This represents his attitude.

If Shen Bi refuses the meeting, Yin Jun has no choice but to seek a loan from a Japanese bank.

The loan limits of Japanese banks are slightly higher than those in Xiangjiang, and they are bold and willing to invest in the future.

Besides, relying on the best-selling "Qilin Weekly" in Chengdu, Japan, Yin Jun has a greater advantage than others, so he can naturally borrow a lot of money.

But the Bank of Japan is not a vegetarian. Not only is the interest rate high, but the various requirements and restrictions are also very strict. Unless it is a last resort, Yin Jun is not willing to deal with the old-fashioned Japanese in finance.

It would be better for Shen Bi to talk to HSBC. Once Shen Bi is dealt with, everything will be OK.

Li Chaoren was still very helpful. He immediately helped Yin Jun contact Shen Bi and said some kind words.

He is not only helping Yin Jun, but also helping Shen Bi.

For a group as big as Kirin Group, if it only operates in a small stall like Xiangjiang Commercial Bank, it will waste too many opportunities.

If he had the support of a behemoth like HSBC, Yin Jun would definitely be able to go more smoothly.

Li Chaoren is already in his fifties and has long given up his desire to compete with others, especially when faced with Yin Jun, a monster genius who has never appeared before. He will not deliberately compete with others.

Do your own thing well and when the time comes, the rewards will come naturally.

Moreover, Li Chaoren cares about favors. Yin Jun is a person who repays kindness, so Li Chaoren is more willing to help him.

As for Shen Bi, Li Chaoren is sure that if he meets such a Qilin Group, which will definitely shine in the future, with Shen Bi's vision, he will definitely seize it and add luster to his resume.

As the person who brokered the cooperation between the two parties, Shen Bi must remember a favor.

Just like this, Li Chaoren naturally spared no effort to please everyone.

It seemed that things were going very smoothly. On the fourth day, Shen Bi made an appointment with Yin Jun to talk to him in his office.

Yin Jun, who had been preparing for the past few days, arrived at the headquarters building of HSBC Bank in the People's Bank of China without saying a word.

HSBC is now preparing to build their new headquarters building. This is a super luxury building that cost HK$5.2 billion. It is also the "evidence" that Shen Bi was criticized for being "extremely extravagant and lustful".

But because the project is so huge, it will have to wait at least several years, so the HSBC headquarters will have to share an office building with others.

Oh, by the way, Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Group is directly under HSBC.

Entering from the special underground parking lot, under the guidance of someone specially sent by HSBC Bank, Yin Jun got into the elevator and went straight to Shen Bi's office floor.

In Shen Bi's office, Yin Jun met the number one executive in Xiangjiang whom he had only seen on TV, newspapers and the Internet.

Shen Bi is slightly fat, not too tall, and slightly bald. When he looks at people, there is no smile in his eyes and he looks a little indifferent.

Seeing Yin Jun come in, he stood up and shook hands with Yin Jun, and then asked Yin Jun to sit on the sofa next to him.

"Mr. Yin, nice to meet you." Shen Bi greeted somewhat dryly, "I'm going to listen to Mr. Li about the purpose of your coming here. I'm very interested in hearing about the details."

When dealing with people like Shen Bi, he is indifferent, but you cannot be indifferent, and the more enthusiastic the better.

This is what Li Chaoren did back then, perseverance, so that he could gain Shen Bi's favor.

So Yin Jun smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, I came here today because I want to have a big plan and explain it to you."

Of course, Shen Bi's surname is not Shen. He is not even called Shen Bi. It's just that he has been in Xiangjiang for a long time and naturally followed the local customs. He took this as his Chinese name, hence the nondescript "Mr. Shen" title.

After a pause, Yin Jun said: "Xiangjiang is a very good place. Although the area here is small and we can't even satisfy ourselves with food and drink, we have the most advanced development concepts and the best small electronics production industry in the world. It will gradually become the port shipping center of the entire Asia. But behind all this, there is a root cause. It is precisely because we have a world-class financial group headed by HSBC to support it. It is precisely because of such a powerful financial group that Hong Kong Only then will there be broader development prospects.

It is undoubtedly very dangerous for a prosperous and prosperous international metropolis to develop in only a few ways. So I think the entertainment media group I want to build will be a huge supplement to the real economy of Hong Kong. At least compared to real estate, the reputation it brings to Hong Kong will be much better. "

Although Shen Bi is irritable, he still depends on who he is right with.

Faced with a genius who started from scratch at the age of 16 and owned more than 4 billion in assets two years later, Shen Bi would certainly be patient.

Listening to Yin Jun's long opening remarks, Shen Bi was not impatient. Instead, he nodded slightly, feeling that Yin Jun's analysis was pretty good.

"If you want to be an entertainment media group, Xiangjiang is too small. It is impossible to support a huge entertainment media group just relying on the local resources, so we strive to develop outwards." Yin Jun said eloquently: "I don't know if you have heard of it. After I take charge of Kylin TV, I will prepare to build a satellite TV with signals covering the whole of Asia, so that people all over Asia can watch Kylin TV's programs. I have already discussed this with Mai Li Governor Hao discussed it and he agreed in principle and said he would support me and let the Chief Secretary promote the development of this matter."

Shen Bi is from the UK, so of course he knows about satellite TV.

Hearing that MacLehose had agreed, he felt a little interested: "How much do you plan to charge for satellite TV? Isn't the investment too high? How many people need to subscribe to get the money back?"

"I'm not going to charge." Yin Jun said calmly. Under Shen Bi's surprised eyes, he said: "The world now and in the future will become globalized, whether it is TV, movies, or commodities. I make satellite TV, and finally The important thing is to create a platform with more than 500 million potential consumers, and then rely on advertising fees to make profits.

People in this world are all the same. Free things come from people who like them. If it takes me three years to build free satellite TV to secure 500 million subscribers, then it will take at least 20 years to grow the number of paid viewers to 500 million, and it may not be maintained.

They can see free exciting programs, and I can receive huge advertising fees by advertising to them, so that I can invest this money into my own program production and use better programs to consolidate and develop users... After such a virtuous cycle, Kylin TV will not only become the most popular Asian TV station, but also have great influence. 500 million people, this is not a small number! "

Shen Bi gave a rare smile when he heard this, "I dare not say anything else. You are an expert in making TV shows. No one can surpass you in this aspect."

"Mr. Shen is so complimentary." Yin Jun took the opportunity to be modest, "I work on every TV series and movie with great trepidation, for fear that bad works will come out, which will not only ruin my reputation, but also disappoint the audience. . Just like you, Mr. Shen, outsiders can only recognize your overwhelming response and your majesty at HSBC, but the various difficulties involved, the various things that require courage and determination, and the various different opinions in all aspects, What kind of pressure does it bring to you, especially a simple one? It’s amazing that an ordinary person can bear it once, let alone bear this kind of pressure for many years.”

Shen Bi looked stunned, and looked at Yin Jun, his eyes softened again.

Yin Jun is a well-deserved genius. In this regard, Shen Bi himself knows that he is not as good as him.

But the various difficulties and pressures faced by this genius, and the pressures he said he faced, are surprisingly consistent!

To others, this would be just nonsense, but when Yin Jun said it, it was a matter of course.

Because he suddenly became famous at a young age and became a genius sought after by everyone, it would definitely be a lie to say that there was no strong pressure.

Being able to be compared with a genius made Shen Bi very proud.

When others complimented him, they always said, "You are so powerful," "You are so majestic," "You are the greatest in Xiangjiang," etc. Shen Bi actually didn't like such meaningless compliments at all.

However, it was Yin Jun who talked about the pressure he was facing, which immediately resonated with Shen Bi.

You only know my beauty, but who knew that I have to take sleeping pills every day to fall asleep? Who knew I could be driven crazy sometimes? …

Thinking of his own difficulties, Shen Bi suddenly felt like a close friend of Yin Jun.

"There is a Chinese saying that goes, 'If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries.' When it comes to doing business, it means that you must not just look at the present, but look further ahead, looking ten or twenty years from now. Only in this way can we ensure our smooth development." Yin Jun said, "I guess you have heard in the past few days that I am preparing to produce a large production worth 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

It’s not that I’m too ambitious and like to pull off any stunts. But I think the current model of film production in Hong Kong is not good enough and its vision is too narrow. It only pays attention to the countries and regions around itself. I want to give it a try to see if Hong Kong movies can be in line with international standards. The previous "Police Academy" was an introduction, and now I am planning to create another category to confirm and explore each other.

If you want to build an entertainment media group, simply doing it in Hong Kong is not the best result. So I hope to extend my capabilities and establish my own film and entertainment company in the center of the world. Then, through their influence, we can occupy the box office market around the world and help my entertainment company in Hong Kong develop. This is why I came to you. "

Shen Bi was very smart and an old fox. He immediately understood what Yin Jun meant, "Are you planning to establish a film company in the United States, or directly acquire it?"

"Acquisition." Yin Jun said, "You know the United Artists Film Company established by Chaplin and the others, right? They own the copyright of the most classic agent in history - Mr. James Bond. They also have a distribution network all over North America, and the most A good production system. We also have enough contacts and connections in the film market around the world.

However, they have been in big trouble recently. A movie called "Heaven's Gate" cost them a huge loss of 40 million U.S. dollars, which suddenly made it difficult for them to turn over money and fell into the predicament of a broken capital chain. Originally, I entrusted Goldman Sachs in the United States to help me find out if there were any good film companies worth acquiring. Then they recommended United Artists Film Company, which offered a price of US$450 million, including commissions. "

Shen Bi thought for a moment, "2.07 billion Hong Kong dollars... You used to make loans at Xiangjiang Commercial Bank. They can't get this money? Are they unwilling to give it to you? Chen Youhan can't be so short-sighted, right?"

Yin Jun smiled and said, "If it was just this money, of course I wouldn't be able to trouble you. In fact, I need to loan you 2 billion US dollars because Goldman Sachs found another company worth buying during the process of accepting the entrustment. The company suggested that I package and acquire it together... This company is worth 2 billion U.S. dollars, and its name is Disney."

"Disney?"

Shen Bi's eyes flashed with confusion, "What does this company do? Isn't its business aimed at children?"

"Disney is no longer the best animation company in the world when Walt Disney was there. But it still has great value, especially to me." Yin Jun said, "First of all, they have accumulated decades of Animation production experience and ability are exactly what my Qilin culture lacks. Cartoons can be made for children or young people. The only difference lies in your script.

Many comics serialized in "Qilin Weekly" need to be turned into cartoons to expand their influence and make money. Moreover, Disney's global cartoon distribution and broadcast network is exactly what Qilin Culture lacks. With Disney, our entire production and distribution set will instantly be integrated into a mature operational system.

Its second advantage, which many people overlook, is their Disneyland. If you ask who makes the most money in this world, then apart from women, it must be children! Disneyland is the ultimate temptation for all children. No qualified child can refuse the charm of Disneyland.

Among Disney's current quotations, the most expensive ones are naturally their two major theme parks in the United States. However, I am very optimistic about their future developments, including the third Disneyland currently being built in Japan and the parks that will be opened in Europe in the future. Mr. Shen, let's think about it boldly. If I buy Disney and let Disney build a Disneyland in Hong Kong, will the surrounding people bring their children to Hong Kong to play? This kind of short-term vacation consumption is also a great tool to promote the tourism and shopping industry in Hong Kong! "

"Pa bang bang..."

Shen Bi couldn't help but clap his hands to Yin Jun.

Genius is indeed a genius, even a mature and stable person like him can't help but praise Yin Jun's fantastic ideas.

Building a Disneyland in Hong Kong is really a good idea!

"Actually, there is another reason why I want to buy Disney and United Artists Film Company." Yin Jun took advantage of the victory and said, "I bought the two companies. From now on, when people mention 007, Snow White, and Mickey Mouse, they will say, Oh, this is a subsidiary of that company in Xiangjiang! Doesn’t this add glory to our Xiangjiang company?”

Shen Bi's heart moved.

If the wish really comes true, the Kirin Group will add glory to Hong Kong. Isn't it only with the help of HSBC that it can achieve such results?

From now on, when everyone talks about the Kirin Group’s grand purchase, they will talk about HSBC and Shen Bi!

What's more, as a Scotsman, it's natural to hate the British, but it's also normal to hate the Americans who now consider themselves number one in the world!

If the pride of the United States can be bought to Hong Kong, it will not only severely lose their face, but also allow HSBC Bank under his control to add another great record!

Even if I return to the UK in the future, this will definitely be a very impressive result!

As for whether Yin Jun will fail, Shen Bi is not too worried.

Li Chaoren has talked about Yin Jun's genius and wisdom in front of him more than once, and through two years of observation, Shen Bi also knows that Yin Jun will never do anything that is uncertain, let alone involving 2.5 billion US dollars. A lot of work must have gone into such an astronomical acquisition.

To put it bluntly, even if Yin Jun fails, HSBC still has collateral and cannot lose at all.

At most, you will lose a great achievement and something worth showing off, and the damage to yourself will not be great!

so

this business

can do!
