Chapter 4 What to Use as Mortgage
"Twenty million yen?" Chen Meiyang expressed surprise at the number Chen Yu said.
But after thinking about it, she didn't feel unacceptable, but she did not agree with Chen Yu's idea of mortgageing the ski resort because...
"A Yu, do you know how much the ski resort at home is worth?" Chen Meiyang asked helplessly as she looked at her nephew who showed expectations and anxiety in front of her.
Chen Yu was a little stunned by Chen Meiyang's questioning. He really missed this problem.
Making money by making movies in Chen Yu's plan, and using the method of mortgage to get started funds to make movies, these are all planned things.
As for how much the ski resort is worth, Chen Yu really didn't think about this issue carefully. In the will left by his grandmother only said that he would leave the ski resort and hot spring hotel for him, but he did not say how much these two industries are worth.
"About a few hundred million yen?" Chen Yu thought for a while and reported an extra zero according to his own estimate.
However, he still had too little guess.
Chen Meiyang looked at his nephew helplessly, shook his head and said, "There are five tracks in the family's ski resort, one of which is a professional track. At that time, my grandfather changed the timber forest farm that my grandmother dowed into a ski resort. Therefore, the more than 200 acres of forests were not included in the cost, but only the ski resort itself is worth at least 2 billion yen!
When my grandfather passed away, my grandmother asked me to find someone to calculate the entire ski resort, plus the hot spring hotel, and the current market value is 7 billion yen! And considering the recent appreciation of the yen, if you get a mortgage from the bank, you can get at least 6 billion yen or more. You actually have to mortgage something worth 100 times for just 20 million yen?
And this is the future life guarantee left by grandparents. If you mortgage the ski resort, if you fail to film the movie, you can't pay back the bank loan and the bank takes the ski resort away, what will you rely on in the future? If this is the case, I will not agree to you doing this!"
The more Chen Meiyang said, the more helpless and angry he felt, but he was still supportive of his nephew's willingness to do things with sincerity. He was angry that he had no idea of how much his assets were worth.
Chen Yu was scolded by Chen Meiyang, and Chen Yu was still a little confused. He never expected that his ski resort and hot spring hotel were worth so much money.
Before traveling through time, Chen Yu also met a friend who opened a ski resort in the Northeast. According to that friend, the small ski resort with 60 acres in his family did not count the land and various procedures, and the total investment was only a few million yuan. It was about 70 million to 80 million yen to convert it into yen.
Why is it that my family’s ski resort has increased ten times more than its value now? Even if you add land, there will not be so much price difference!
However, Chen Yu obviously ignored one thing, that is, what he knew was the price level in 2019, and now it is 1985, with a time difference of more than 30 years. At this time, the ski resort is only enjoyable for rich people.
This is also one of the disadvantages of time travel, and he has not been able to fully adapt to this era.
However, Chen Yu still had to find a way to solve the funds needed for filming his movies, so he said to his aunt: "What do you think I should do if I can't mortgage the ski resort? How can I raise the 20 million yuan of filming funds?"
"Can't you go and get sponsorship? Don't those who watch movies all come to various companies to get advertising sponsorships?" Chen Meiyang looked at his nephew, but was still surprised by his unwillingness to get sponsorships. Isn't it good to spend other people's money to do their own business and spread the risks?
"But if you attract sponsorship, the investor will interfere with the filming, right? And you also need to distribute the transferred money to others." Chen Yu saw his aunt mentioning this topic, but he still repeated his previous reasons: "This is my first movie. I hope it can be filmed according to my ideas and show what I want to express, rather than letting people point fingers."
Facing Chen Yu's thoughts, Chen Meiyang felt a little helpless. Although she couldn't understand his ideas very much, she thought about it and said to Chen Yu: "Since that's the case, what about the script you wrote? Show me, and I'll see if I can help you think of a solution. By the way, what background theme is the movie you want to make?"
"It is a love movie with an urban background, with the theme of letters and memories." Seeing that Chen Yu seemed to be moved by him, Chen Yu hurriedly introduced the content of his script to her: "On the third anniversary of his boyfriend's death, the heroine sent a love letter to his hometown that he thought was sent to heaven, but was received by another girl of the same name and surname, and wrote a reply. The two started a correspondence, but found that the other girl was actually a classmate of the heroine's boyfriend, and the dead heroine's boyfriend had also had a crush on this girl of the same name and surname.
The main plot of the movie is to tell the relationship and memories between the three people. It is a relatively warm and full of love memories. There is no need for any big production at the cost, but the appearance I designed may be a bit too much, so the cost will increase a little."
"It sounds like a movie that should be OK..." After listening to my nephew's introduction, although Chen Meiyang didn't know much about the movie script, he also thought that it should be a pretty good story. As long as it was not random shooting, there was no problem. So he thought about it and said, "Let's do you have so many scripts? Give me a copy and I'll ask you if you can bring you some sponsorship. Our bank has been considering promoting things recently, and maybe we can cooperate. A Yu, don't you refuse to advertise, right?"
"There is no problem with this, but I still hope that I can invest part of it." Seeing that Chen Yu was willing to help, he naturally would not object, but he still hoped to invest himself: "Is the ski resort at home really not mortgaged? If it is not mortgaged, it is only part of it?"
"Part of the mortgage?" Hearing Chen Yu say this, Chen Meiyang suddenly remembered something, thought for a while and said to Chen Yu, "I remember when my grandfather changed the timber forest farm to a ski resort, my grandmother left a small piece of forest land. On the one hand, it was to beautify the environment, and on the other hand, it also said that the ancestral property should not be lost.
