Chapter 822 The Youngest in History! Director of HSBC Bank!
The Japanese are admirable for their decisiveness in doing business.
Under the strong pressure from Alida, Okubo Satoru did not delay much. Just two days later, they gave Yin Jun an accurate answer.
250 million US dollars, packaged with 10 years of exclusive game copyright sales of "Hong Kong Cube", including arcade and home game console modes, but not limited to this.
Yin Jun readily agreed.
Sister Le was a little unhappy.
Because in the two small places of Xiangjiang and Baodao, we can earn almost 15 million U.S. dollars. In such a big market as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, we still have to earn 3.5 billion U.S. dollars?
What's the point of giving them money for nothing?
Yin Jun is not as decisive as Sister Le, nor does he have her courage, but he has an outstanding vision that Sister Le does not have.
In fact, the reason for Yin Jun's concession was very simple.
It is exactly what he told Sister Le before that video games are just a supplement to his entertainment kingdom and are not something he should focus on developing.
Otherwise, he would not have hired many people until now, and the main force in research and development would still be the group of game designers and engineers from Japan.
A normal game company with career ambitions can never be as simple as being responsible for research and development.
It also involves the organization of the production chain, the management of the sales chain, and the development of various peripheral products, etc.
Each of these aspects will involve a huge amount of manpower and material resources, requiring accumulation and assistance from many aspects.
To put it bluntly, this is an industry that requires your full commitment to bear fruit.
but!
Yin Jun, who came from the future, knew that these game companies were actually far from the mainstream of future games, and their influence was pitifully small. They were not suitable for investing so much effort at all.
Moreover, a company's energy is limited.
If we devote ourselves to developing the game industry, what should we do in terms of entertainment?
Nowadays, although Yin Jun has made a lot of profits, these are the connections and channels that several major game companies have worked hard for so many years.
If it were done by Kirin Game Company, it would take three to five years to do a good job, and it would cost a lot more.
Instead of doing this, it’s really better to sell it to them first and use "Xiangjiang Cube" to build your reputation. Then when the second game is released, you can have more initiative.
Yin Jun used these reasons to comfort Sister Le again and made her stop worrying about it.
Anyway, Sister Le also knows that Yin Jun still has at least seven or eight classic games, which are no worse than "Xiangjiang Cube".
If these games can sell for 3.5 billion US dollars, it will definitely be a timely help for the Kirin Group, which is currently heavily in debt.
Yin Jun's acquisition of shares in Disney, United Artists Film Company, 7-11, and MTV TV stations has been completed as of March.
The entire investment was US$3.7 billion, but almost all of it was acquired with loans.
Judging from the current profitability of the Kirin Group, there is no problem in paying the annual interest. After all, "Kilin Weekly" and Transformers toys are both super profitable businesses that make a lot of money every day.
"Qilin Weekly" and its separate editions make a net profit of more than HK$200 million every month.
Transformers is even more powerful. After opening sales in 50 countries and regions, the monthly profit is now conservatively estimated at 40 million US dollars.
Calculated based on the usual loan interest rate of 8%-10%, Kirin Group needs to pay almost 350 million US dollars in sky-high interest per year.
However, with the help of these two super money-attracting tools, Kirin Group can still have a surplus of about US$330 million.
But if you want to pay off the principal, under normal circumstances, you don't have to think about it for ten or eight years.
After all, what the Kirin Group can best bring out are these two major money-making tools. Many others are still losing money, such as Kirin TV and "Kilin Daily".
In addition, those companies in the United States all have dilapidated structures. If you didn't work hard to put money in to maintain development in the past few years, there would be no way to open up the situation, so this is another quagmire that is difficult to step into.
Many dilemmas and problems that need to be solved urgently have also made many foreign consulting agencies and investment banks not very optimistic about Kirin Group.
Now Yin Jun has surpassed the charter king and become the biggest pride of Xiangjiang.
Since the opening of Xiangjiang as a port, there has never been such a genius who created such a great undertaking at the age of less than 20 years old.
No matter how much others promote it, Yin Jun has become the best spokesperson for Xiangjiang Dream.
A impoverished young man who swam from the mainland three years ago finally achieved great things through his own hard work and talent. Don’t make such a publicity goal too conspicuous!
Therefore, seeing that so many foreigners were not very optimistic about the Kirin Group, most of the media and passers-by in Xiangjiang refuted it.
"I think this part of the funds is indeed a huge pressure on the Kirin Group. But as far as I know, Yin Jun is not someone who just buys companies casually. He must have made detailed comparisons before buying. Otherwise, Le Yiling will definitely not allow him to buy it! With Le Yiling's influence on him, can these businesses be possible without her consent? "
"Yes! Now that Yin Jun has become a super rich man, everyone seems to have forgotten his majestic deeds of sweeping the ratings and box office across Asia for every TV series and movie. For a genius, the difference is not whether he can be appreciated by both refined and popular people. Breaking down the cultural barriers between East and West only depends on whether he is willing to do it! I am looking forward to the future of these companies under Yin Jun's control!"
"I don't know where they get their sense of superiority! What Mr. Jun is best at is creating miracles. Just wait, they will have to eat these words in their stomachs before long!"
"As long as Transformers are around, Yin Jun can't collapse! Now it's only sold in 50 countries and regions. If it becomes a global sale, the monthly profit will exceed 100 million US dollars. Is there any problem?"
"Haha, you have all ignored the biggest problem. ... Mr. Jun is a genius! Who said that buying these will become a drag on Mr. Jun? Disney and United Artists need cartoons and movies, then What's the problem? Young Master Jun can write! If you just take a script like "Police Academy" and write about ten of it a year, can't you still earn billions of dollars to pay off your debts?"
"..."
The pursuit of the media and passers-by is of course only one aspect. At most, it is the starting point of support, but it is not of much practical use.
But the next one gave Yin Jun enough support.
He is Shen Bi, chairman of Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.
The day after the entire US$3.7 billion transaction was completed, Shen Bi publicly extended an invitation to Yin Jun, inviting him to become a director on the board of directors of HSBC Bank.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused shock in the global financial industry!
HSBC's status in the international metropolis of Hong Kong is not something to be boasted about. Standard Chartered and Citigroup will be swept aside.
Even in the UK, HSBC ranks among the top three. In the global banking industry, HSBC is also among the top 50 players.
It’s not easy!
There are thousands of banks around the world, and the top fifty are already very impressive.
Those who can work here are already elites, let alone become leaders or even directors!
Yin Jun was already a director of Xiangjiang Commercial Bank, but Xiangjiang Commercial Bank is not even among the top ten in Xiangjiang, so its influence is of course limited.
But HSBC is different. Such a giant company actually invited Yin Jun to become a director of the board of directors. What is the concept?
19-year-old HSBC director! ?
This is going against heaven!
This is the greatest recognition given to Yin Jun by HSBC!
They are sure that Yin Jun's acquisitions are very meaningful and very powerful. They are optimistic about Yin Jun's future!
Although HSBC is powerful enough, it is really unimaginable that it is so obviously at odds with Wall Street financial institutions!
Even the British side expressed doubts.
But the people in Xiangjiang were very enthusiastic and praised HSBC. For a time, Shen Bi's reputation soared, which made him unexpectedly happy.
What HSBC represents in Hong Kong, Yin Jun can think of it with his feet.
Of course, he responded positively to Shen Bi's invitation immediately. On the morning of the first working day after the weekend, he went to HSBC Bank and received the appointment letter of director of HSBC Bank under the witness of many reporters. .
Director Yin Jun is naturally a member of the board of directors and has the right to vote.
The salary is a symbolic HKD 10,000 per month, and there is no equity incentive.
Yin Jun does not work in the bank and has not contributed much, so his salary is naturally lower.
For formal banks in this era, the salaries of bank executives are not high enough, but they have great power, controlling the flow of billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of funds.
This is also an important reason why Shen Bi is so popular.
With Yin Jun's title as a director on the board of directors of HSBC, he is naturally close to the center of power of HSBC.
Apart from anything else, if Yin Jun has any financial problems in the future, the help he can get from HSBC will be much greater.
Then, those who have requests from HSBC will also come to Yin Jun and ask him for help with loans or other things. This gives Yin Jun more opportunities to expand his contacts and obtain resources.
Of course, HSBC is not all good.
For example, their attitude towards the mainland is criticized.
For this reason, Bao Yugang and Li Chaoren resigned from their positions as directors of HSBC. If they said there was no connection at all, then no one would believe it.
But Yin Jun was not worried.
It is only 1981, and the conflicts between HSBC and the mainland are becoming more prominent. This is all after Shen Bi left. It will take several years.
By then, my strength will be strong enough. Even if I don't want HSBC as an ally, it won't matter.
