this man is not calm

Chapter 114
When the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead.

Such a situation naturally made Jin Shang very dissatisfied.

"With all due respect, if I just buy an empty shell, it doesn't make any sense to me. Lean employees, talented cartoonists, and loyal readers are the core competitiveness. I also have newspapers and magazines under my command, and I know this business well. The mystery. The two labels are indeed very valuable, and after the acquisition of Jinxi Culture, there is no basis for continuing to operate, so there is no need to talk about it!"

"President Xiao Jin, you have misunderstood something. It's just that some people's hearts are fluctuating now, and it is far from the point where the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. Until today, it is operating normally. The core creators and editorial team are not in chaos, and readers have not been lost... "

"This point, I will ask someone to investigate it later. It's not a secret. Since Director He said so, then we will continue to use this as the basis and continue to talk..."

"If you have any requirements, please feel free to mention them."

"Wage arrears, employee placement, how does your factory plan?"

As soon as the words fell, He Yuan, who was shocked, exchanged glances with his colleagues, and then said helplessly:
"It has to be said that although Mr. Jin is young, he has sharp eyesight. Today, including the rental and sales outlets and the comic production and distribution department, five months' wages are in arrears, about 85, and the total supplier payment is about 45... "

"Five million!"

Jin Shang couldn't help muttering to himself, tapping his fingers on the desk lightly, making a crisp sound.

It is definitely impossible for Meiying Studio to repay this money.

In the eagerness to get rid of the burden, it is natural to let the recipient bear these debts.

"My family's football club, the annual additional operating expenses are not much higher than this."

"President Xiao Jin, don't worry, the employees in our factory are absolutely top-notch and won't let you suffer."

Jin Shang smiled lightly and shook his head:
"Director He, I think you also understand that people are not machines, and they are not commodities that our two companies can buy. question."

Beijing Meiying Factory is a well-known brand. Although it has declined now, it is not comparable to a company like Jinxi Culture, which was founded less than half a year ago.

Not to mention that the boss, Kim Sang-ssi, is a public figure.

Fame can't be eaten as a meal, food, clothing, housing and transportation, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, all have to be supported by vain money.

It's just a meal, any feelings and belongings are a fart, you have to buy people's hearts with real money, and you may not be able to buy them.

"This... can be discussed in detail later."

Seeing that Jin Shang pointed out the thorny issue sharply, He Yuan also had to avoid it for the time being, implying that after the truth is finalized, he can make appropriate concessions.

Jin Shang nodded in understanding, and finally asked the core question:
"How much are these two big businesses?"

Director He, who had been prepared for a long time, replied:

"The price of 47 stores, together with all employees and management rights, is 500 million; the production and distribution of comics is 140 million..."

"A total of 770 million, is there any more?"

The operating right of each store, plus various miscellaneous assets, is less than [-], which is not expensive.

Of course, this does not include the property rights. If all the shops are bought together, at an average unit price of [-] per square meter, each super-large bookstore close to [-] square meters will not cost [-] million yuan, so it is impossible to buy it.

This greatly exceeded the limit that Jin Shang could bear. Even with bank loans, nearly half of Jinxi Culture's monthly turnover has been repaid with interest. The capital chain is broken, and bankruptcy is imminent.

It seems that Jin Shang's indifference gave He Yuan confidence. After hesitating for a moment, he asked seriously:
"Mr. Jin, may I ask, are you really not interested in the property rights of the bookstore? Also, the building where the comics and publishing business is located is also for sale..."

At present, the staff office, professional equipment, storage, etc. of this business are located in a seven-story building not far from Jinshang’s alma mater, the Academy of Fine Arts of Beijing Normal University. Only four floors are occupied, and the remaining three floors are They are all rented out.

The location is very good. Although the building is a bit old, after several renovations, it looks okay.

but……

"Director He, you think too highly of me. The sum of what you said is not worth 5000 million, and there are [-] million. I can't afford it..."

"Not so much now!"

He Yuan quickly explained,
"Since the unit price and rent of office buildings and shops peaked the year before last, it has dropped by more than half in the past two years, and in some places it is only one-third of that in [-]. Taking advantage of the high prices, we have also sold a lot of assets in recent years. That's why I can barely hold on until now. The price has dropped again this year, and I can't see the end..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Jin Shang was a little surprised, since the capital is the capital of good fortune, it's fine if real estate prices don't rise, but they have fallen so hard, what's the trouble?
He Yuan replied:

"The transaction price must not have fallen that hard, because there are very few transactions! The rent has indeed dropped to the point where it is impossible to see! In the early years, there were few office buildings and shops, so the prices were abnormally high. Later, more projects were launched, and the competition was fierce. You have to lower the price to attract customers. Although the capital is big, there are not so many big companies that can support it. It is natural to return to the value itself..."

"Ok!"

Jin Shang nodded knowingly.

Entering the 90s, Jin Shang really felt a lot of impetuousness. Not only did residential housing prices rise, but commercial real estate prices also rose steadily. In the past two years, after market adjustment and full competition, some inflated prices could no longer be maintained.

"How much is the shop plus office building?"

"Two hundred million!"

He Yuan raised two fingers, emphasizing the shocking price.

Jin Shang let out a soft "Oh", his expression remained the same, but his heart was a little moved.

If you really have money, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it.

"Just now we were still talking about tens of millions of business, and now you asked me to spend [-] million to buy fixed assets, a little suddenly..."

"We can help to contact the loan..."

"Can you provide a guarantee?"

"can!"

A few short conversations gave Jin Shang a deep understanding of the situation of Meiying Studio.

This is a large factory that has reached the edge of a cliff and is about to fall into the abyss. It is only one step away from falling down, and any straw must be desperately grasped.

Even making extremely unfavorable promises is not hesitating.

After pondering for a while, Jin Shang asked a little strangely:

"It stands to reason that these relatively high-quality assets should not worry about selling them. If they really want to be thrown on the market, there will be many buyers. Why are they still like this?"

"Mr. Xiao Jin probably didn't care about financial data recently. The three-year basic deposit rate has exceeded [-]%. Experts predict that inflation will fall in the second half of this year, and the economy will look good. But, like us, I don't know if we can hold on until it picks up. That day!"

Pick up day?
You may not insist on getting it tomorrow, maybe a meeting with your superiors will decide the fate of Meiying Studio.

If you sell these, you may be able to survive for a while longer.

To be alive is more important than anything else. If you are still breathing, you have the hope of bringing the dead back to life. Once you are really gone, it will be completely over.

"What kind of loan concessions can you get now?"

"Five-year period, annual interest rate of 12.00%, no principal repayment in the first four years, only interest repayment, after five years, one-off repayment."

This level is already a very low interest rate.Commercial loans provided by banks have a period of three to five years, and the annual interest rate is generally between [-] points and [-] points.

Regardless of the high loan interest rate, the deposit interest rate is not low.

Now in [-], the domestic economy is still on the tail end of a relatively serious inflation. Macro-control and market adjustment have not yet been completely completed. Large capitals with strong capital and large enterprises have already begun to buy bottom against the market.

In Jin Shang's view, the assets sold by Beijing Meiying Factory are indeed very good, and can make up for the shortcomings of his own company, but in the eyes of real big businessmen, they are not enough.

Books and audio-visual products for rent and sale?

Single multi-storey office building?
I don't like it at all.

Like the second child of the Mei family, who can sell billions of dollars at a time, how can he have time to pay attention to "small businesses" of tens of millions, one or two billion?
Those who want to buy can't afford it, and those who can afford it don't focus on these details.

This is the reason why Beijing Meiying Factory has repeatedly suffered setbacks in selling assets to save itself.

The location of the office building near the university town is acceptable, and there are many inquiries.

It's just that if you sell it alone, it's even more difficult to sell the other "tops".

Luck is bad, Pepsi is in decline, and no matter what you do, you are struggling.

After finally meeting Jin Shang and Nan Dabiao, two "big guys" who might be willing to spend money, they didn't care whether they could eat or not.

The key is to get the money quickly and solve the urgent need.

In order to speed up the progress, Jin Shang could even feel that He Yuan didn't pretend much, and he didn't care about any negotiating skills.

As soon as he came up, he showed his true self, talked about the conditions straight to the point, and looked like he wanted to finalize it on the spot, and then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.

Later, Jin Shang, Nan Dabiao, and Zheng Liangzhi exchanged opinions in private, and decided to buy the production and distribution of comics, as well as the rental and sales business. The price is about 800 million, which is very cheap. If it can be digested smoothly and integrated into Jinxi culture, Then make a big profit.

First finalize this point, and then let professional people handle the details of the transaction.

The matter of property rights is too big. These days, the business of [-] million yuan is not something Jinxi Culture can handle. If it insists on it, Jin Shang will probably have to become a "Wen Chaogong" or debut in business, and transfer the works of his previous life. Only by realizing it can we sustain it.

Jin Shang must be cautious about this kind of thing, discuss it with his family and listen to other people's opinions.

In the end, of course, the power of the "golden finger" must be used to help judge whether this matter is a good or bad thing.

As for the more than 20 movie theaters that Nan Dabiao is interested in, they are relatively old, and the price is not high, and they need to be slightly modified to buy them.

At the end of the discussion, He Yuan also gave Jin Shang the third-party investigation and evaluation report that he had prepared long ago, and then politely sent the three of them away.

Today's meeting is still fruitful. Whether the big business of 2000 to [-] million yuan can be done, let's talk about it for the time being, the small money of [-] to [-] million yuan is stable.

Although it can't solve the fundamental problem, at least we can pay the employees some wages, buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and solve the difficulties of life.

At seven o'clock that night, Jin Shi went to the balcony to answer the phone. When he came back, seeing that Mei Xinghong had just hung up the phone, he couldn't help asking curiously:
"Where did you call?"

"The editor of the magazine said that the incentive bonus that is in arrears will be paid out soon..."

"This is to stabilize you. Didn't you say that the management is not good and you are going to close down?"

Kim said nonchalantly,
"If you want me to tell you, don't do it. What kind of comics? After so many years of hard work, I haven't seen Ah Shang read them. Before the age of nine, you drew enlightenment stories and children's books, and Ah Shang went to junior high school in no time; after that You create passionate campus themes, and our son rushed to college; a few years ago, he planned some youthful inspiration. Look again, he has graduated with a master’s degree, made a girlfriend, started a business, and talked about thousands of things. million project, what is being talked about is already a one or two billion business."

The endless complaints made Mei Xinghong a little dissatisfied, and she glanced at Jin Shi who was chattering.

"It's not that the management is not good, it's just that the parent company's profits are not good, not to mention that it can't give support, and it's constantly 'drawing blood', so it's a bit difficult. In addition, it doesn't look like a comic book, it's a cartoon..."

"It's all the same! There is no bonus, and there is not much money. Coax the cartoonists who don't know anything to continue to contribute to them. The words are nice, but they are all one-sided words. Who knows the specific situation?"

"It is said that I have found a financial backer. This time I have great hopes. It is good to break away from the unreliable parent company. If you can operate independently, this business is still very successful. A weekly magazine with a circulation of nearly 200 million is among the best in the domestic industry. It is already in the top five. It would be a good thing if we can get through the difficulties smoothly. The editors I know are all here, and it is difficult for readers to take away. If they can stay, they will naturally not leave at will.”

"You still have to continue painting, forget it! Fortunately, you won't be able to make a lot of money. Anyway, A-Shang doesn't watch it, so you should rest more in the future..."

"The royalties of more than 100 million yuan per year are not money in your mouth? Recently, you have done a big business, and your tone has fluctuated a lot!"

"It's just hard money accumulated for more than ten years. It's not like our family can't live without it. We don't need to work so hard. We have backaches, cervical spondylosis, and tenosynovitis often occur. The work and rest schedules are not very regular. It used to be fine. , now...we are all over [-] years old, so we have to pay attention."

"I know how to take care of myself, so you don't need to nag me here."

Mei Xinghong stopped Jin Shi's persuasion impatiently,
"Ah Shang called just now? Why did we chat for so long..."

"The stinky boy has a big heart. He dares to make an idea for a business worth two to three hundred million yuan. He should take a good look at it sometime."
