making bets on china and hollywood? >> good morning. boao for him. the we have a full slate of guess we will get to this morning, including the chairman and ceo of stx entertainment. thank you so much. thank you for joining us today. is your studio shaking things up, how is it different, and why china? to form a newoing entertainment company, it's not going to look like the existing six major studios. and thed has changed, six major studios do something better than anybody else, which is they make market and to be these giant behemoths. >> you do everything. >> we take advantage of the vacuum in the middle, where the $20 million to 80 main dollars
9:11 pm
range, nobody was living there, so we went to that space. that if yourlso going to form a new company, china has to be part of it. we went to one of china's largest private equity firms. tpg and not group over there, our largest shareholder. we put this together, and as we started going, we radically underestimated the appetite on the part of these big stars and big directors to make these movies. if you're not doing a sequel, a remake, or a big tentpole, a traditional film, there is not as much opportunity to tell the story. >> is this about money or meshing of stories? there are cultural differences between the slate of chinese movies that come out, a bunch of census of issues, etc., then the hollywood blockbuster.
9:12 pm
is this about tapping the pool of money? >> no, it's about taking advantage of where the world is going. china stepped into this opportunity and bridged the two biggest markets in the world, u.s. and china. where releasing one movie a month, and each one of those films is a big global blockbuster. it's about to start pouring down rain. >> we will send it back to you. thank you. absolutely classic. we got steve sheltering from the rain. let's have a look at some stories making headlines around the world. believe one ofs the suicide bombers who targeted brussels airport may be involved in last year's paris attacks. they were brothers who had a record of gang-related crime. police are hunting a ringleader of yesterday's attacks.
9:13 pm
the interior minister from the 28 eu nations making brussels assessment of security and counterterrorism measures. by a attacking brussels, the terrorists have attacked everything that europe is all about, our values and what we represent. you are dealing with a terrorist organization with its strength, its resources, and terror cells. recruiting at the heart of our society, a war has been waged against us, and we must be totally determined and fighting the scourge. airports around the asia-pacific region have announced increase security after the brussels bombing. adding 700 staff for security monitoring and explosives detection. tokyo says patrols looking forces vicious objects have also been strengthened. i'm not strain union called off today's land 24 hour strike by airport security staff.
9:14 pm
tried to reinforce his claim of territory in the south china sea, taking journalists on a two or of an island in a chain also claimed by china, philippines, and vietnam. a rockn it designated as to avoid any exclusive claim on the surrounding waters. the deputy foreign minister showed off infrastructure, food production, and freshwater supplies to show the island is capable of sustaining habitation. powered by over 2400 journalists and 150 bureaus around the world, this is bloomberg news. right, having a look at this crash in energy prices. it has had a huge impact on profits. lowesthina reporting its net income since the 1990's. how bad was it for the company? this is the worst set of numbers we've gotten out of petro china became since it became a publicly listed entity in 2000.
9:15 pm
yes, profit has fallen to the lowest since 1999. this is where we are today. this is on the back of that precipitous decline in oil barrel brent at $54 a last year, coming down from about $100 a year the year before, and we see that reflected for all majors around the world, not just petro china. taking you through the numbers, a $3.8 billion write-down on upstream gas assets. at $100 a barrel, companies like petro china and its other peers went on a huge spending spree, picking up australian, canadian in a g assets not worth a whole lot now given the decline in oil prices. throught to take you this interesting chart which correlates just how closely this relationship between brent and the share price. keep in mind that petro china was the world's first training
9:16 pm
dollar company, so how far has it fallen since then? it is still in the top three by st threehe top bigge companies by sales, but not in net income. down 65%, petro china shares down 55%, so eight lagging effect, but you can see the correlation clearly. they are also expecting production to be year by 5%, rather this year,, china trying to deal with this oversupply situation. if you want to look at the upside, we have that profit warning coming through in january from petro china saying that net income was likely to fall between 60% and 70% on the higher in, but a bright spot. this is what we had in january, that 12 year low for oil prices has rebounded. , ending this week
9:17 pm
on a high. you have seen that direct correlation in the share price, petro china picking up as well. rishaad: thank you very much indeed. let's have a look at the oil makers as a whole. what is in store for them? what are the predictions? says it willchina be a turbulent year. we know that. we have that 12 year low in january, early january come already, but in terms of these layoffs we keep talking about and expecting, they say there will not be in the layoffs. retirementnearing age, encouraged to take retirement, others shifted elsewhere in the business rather than losing their job. there will be increased cuts to investment. he sang in terms of profitability, this is still a focus on cost cutting, so continuing to tighten the belt, if you will, so we will see another 5% cut to capital expenditure on the back of that 31% cut in 2015. that is less than its competitors.
9:18 pm
interestingly, the chairman also said that petro china is that a critical turning point when it comes to profitability and ushering in a new era. he says oil prices at $30 a barrel are irrational, seeing prices rising to between $40 and $50 a barrel this year, going up to $80 by 2020. something to think about is that this company, petrochina is at the forefront of these as oe reforms being pushed by beijing, so under pressure to look of profitability, cut overcapacity and inefficiency. we could see in the months going forward as beijing has hinted at, a number of big oil and gas assets will be spun off into independent businesses. they will have a lot of work to do in terms of what they would do it these front-line oil employees that they will need to relocate to different parts of the business. rishaad: thanks for that.
9:19 pm
9:21 pm
rishaad: you are back with "trending business". having a look at japanese trading company mitsui. its first loss in 70 years. stephen joins us from tokyo. , the firstraordinary loss in the company's modern era. , what's happening is they had enormous write-downs. there as set value drop significantly due to the commodity route that started two years ago. trading houses tend to buy, or ,hey did, by commodities
9:22 pm
assets, when their value was very high during the boom. when oil was over $100 and copper and iron ore were higher, they would buy assets assuming these prices would continue in that trajectory. when the prices begin to drop about two years ago, unfortunately the asset value also dropped as well, so this is just the latest and biggest write-down for mitsui, and it's really putting a drag on their profit. now what about other trading houses like mitsubishi? are they going to be facing the same headwinds, having write-downs, seeing their profit margin squeeze? -- squeeze. >> that is absolutely correct. of the five biggest also announced a write-down, another might be on the way. mitsubishi, japan's largest
9:23 pm
trading house, will also likely have write-downs. i a lot of the assets that mitsui wrote down are personally owned by mitsubishi, so we might see the same size or bigger write-down from mitsubishi if they were to swing to a loss in the current fiscal year, it would be the first net loss in their modern history as well. so there is definitely -- the area israding house definitely being hit hard by the current slumping commodities. tell me something, stephen, what about the inherent culture of these banks or trading houses? they have been around for centuries, hugely conservative, so do they have to change the way they do business? >> that's a really good point. mitsui has roots dating back to way that theythe operate may not change a lot.
9:24 pm
they will probably have to look at which assets they by going forward and switch around the way that they purchase mines or energy projects. they might put off some purchases, but i think that overall they are good with resources, especially mitsui. they are good at what they do with resources, and there's no reason to change that. what is going on now is that it is part of a commodities slumped cycle. the prices will rise again, that's what mitsui believes, so they will probably continue their strategy. mitsubishi as well, although that other trading houses are less connected to resources, and you're saying that they have parties which, at least in the past, to non-resource commodity businesses, helping them quite a bit. rishaad: thanks. right. let's look at the board. been a final agreement was sharp.
9:25 pm
they are negotiating, maybe pushing the deal to breaking point. what's going on here? >> good morning. let me set the stage. there is a whole list of things that held up the deal. it started off with contingent , next foxconn expressed concern over sharks fourth-quarter earnings, and now we know the thai we niece company is looking to reduce the amount it pays sharks in its banks for control. -- the taiwanese company is looking to reduce him on it pays sharp in its banks for control. sharp has raised the risk of liquidation to 40% from 5%, citing the potential delay is raising the risk of triggering debt cognizance. either the banks, have two choices, liquidate sharp or
9:26 pm
except reduce turns, either way foxconn gets what it's wants -- what it wants, sharp assets on the cheap. sharpd: what is stopping from bringing anyone back to the table? out themo not rule coming back. something has changed. part of the deal was merging with those of toshiba, unfortunately toshiba picked a different china -- partner. rishaad: thanks. we'll get you some breaking news. this ministry of image 370 still 70maining a mystery -- m3 still remaining in history, debris recovered, also the is consistent with drift modeling and does confirm search efforts in the southern indian ocean. this is what we have at the
9:27 pm
9:29 pm
rishaad: a look at our top stories. china fiscal stimulus could spur rebound, they do appear to be moderating the pace of the slowdown. shows theimagery rates of decline easing up. officials gathering at the boao forum to discuss china's reform goals. profit tumbling to the lows in two decades, petro china falling 67% to $5.5 billion, writing
9:30 pm
down almost $4 billion of assets. shares premarket getting that price, 3.2% down. it is the open formally in hong kong, the shanghai session also underway. let's have a look at what is happening in the fx space. dollar-yen, a spike off the weaker japanese yen. you have a stronger u.s. dollar. that is the background right now. specifically for the yen, the boj governor speaking before
9:31 pm
japanese parliament at the moment. he is basically saying that the somet of negative rates at point will filter through into the real economy. it something to keep in mind. when we do get something significant, we will get you that. were not really seeing anything as far as the equity markets are concerned. , japanese yen doing that, but a lot of pressure. the nikkei 225. fixing the weakening of the renminbi the most since january, .33%, the follow-on reaction in the offshore renminbi, weaker for a fifth straight session. the dollar index stronger.
9:32 pm
let me show you what's happening at the open in china. we could be seeing red across of board, with the exception new zealand, another down day across the asia-pacific. rishaad: taking a look at thatcher share -- at thatcher china share price, tumbling to the lows in two decades. share price,hina tumbling to the lows in two decades. what's hurting petro china the most here? it had that massive write-down of $3.8 billion, and that game -- came in the upstream sector, gas and oil production. it is no surprise, oil prices fell last year to an average of $54 a barrel, and that's what hit profits, and profit fell to the lowest since the company went public in 2000.
9:33 pm
fairly wellt was telegraphed. the company said in january to decline in% to 70% profits, and that's exactly what we got. well what is the company doing to whether the collapse in oil prices? like its international peers, petro china and other chinese oil companies are slashing capital expenditure, spending fell 31% last year, and it is expecting another 5% decline this year. it has also been candid that it will shut down any oil fields that have little chance or no hope of turning a profit at the current price. that means petro china's oil and gas production will fall for the first time in 17 years. come about major cut
9:34 pm
3%, but it is indicative of the sorts of the situations that oil majors are in at the moment. all right, well, i guess we would ask about the trajectory. what is next for this company? >> had tro, the rhetoric from the company is that the worst may be over. predicting a gradual increase in oil prices for the rest of this year, perhaps an , andge of $50 a barrel perhaps to $80 a barrel by 2020. it does say it doesn't expect choice ofes little prices back at $100 a barrel anytime soon. the international energy agency yesterday told us that this unprecedented collapse in capital expenditure and investment by oil companies could be sowing the seeds for the next oil supply shock. estimate the need for $300
9:35 pm
billion to maintain or production at current levels. if we don't see some sort of pick up over the next couple of 2017-2018, there is a very real danger of a price spike. rishaad: thanks a lot for that. joining us from singapore. wetinued skepticism, as always do, over china's official data, but it has led to a new way of tracking manufacturing from space. satellite imagery adding to the growing data. from thehe story bloomberg. no signs of a rebound? juliette: this is probably unwelcome news for the officials meeting this weekend. we know the official data on manufacturing, gdp, on inflation , come with the delay, and there has been so many question marks around it, so now we have this story on the bloomberg. three separate surveys, private
9:36 pm
that what we are seeing in the official data is not actually correct. you can find this story on the bloomberg. this white line is the chinese manufacturing index, edging up to 48.2 in march from a reading of 48.1 in february, so a little uptick there. i want to show you some images of the technology we have. essentially this is a new form of tracking manufacturing in china, so this is the san francisco-based company using satellite imagery to track signs of economic activity, such as transport vehicles parked outside factories. the company is hoping it will eventually take the place of traditional survey-based pmi's, because you can actually see the satellite imagery and whether or not there is any activity going on. line is that
9:37 pm
satellite pmi number, the blue line is another survey, the mni china pmi overall business at 49.9,s, unchanged the second month in a row below , separatingt level expansion from contraction, the first time we have seen that since the height of the global financial crisis. to a ratingey rose of 43.6 from 37.5 in february, worth noting that those february numbers probably impacted by the fact that we had the lunar new year in february. this is what is interesting, when you put the green line on, the official pmi. we are expecting it rose to a reading of 49.5 in march, so below that 50 point level for an eighth consecutive month, but you can see if we move into here on theal point here
9:38 pm
march sector coming through, this is higher than what we are seeing from these private surveys, so once again questions over whether or not the official data we are getting from china is in fact accurate. muchad: thank you very indeed. let's have a look at some other stories. two central banks have decided to keep their interest rates unchanged, thailand leaving rates on hold at 1.5%, the seventh straight meeting they have stakeout, a stronger currency was hurting exports. philippines also leaving its rate unchanged, 4%, central bank they're anticipating a booster to the economy from the elections in may. japan's richest man returning to investing softbank $250 million in a sports entertainment agency. the deal for his the deal pfizer company at $5.5 billion. it says it will use the money for investments, acquisitions, and joint ventures. softbank were down nearly 2%.

development interest in china and asia are closely intertwined. following closely the performance of the chinese economy, and i wish to take this opportunity to share with you my views on how do we look at a chinese economy and what are we going to do about it. first, how do we look at the chinese economy? last year, china's economic total reached 67.7 trillion renminbi or 10 trillion u.s. dollars. it is fair to say that this -- at the same time, china is in a process of restructuring and improvement of structures, and there are different performances between different regions and sectors. may have different
9:58 pm
views of the same mountain looking at it horizontally or vertically, far or near. and the world economy has also reached the slowest rate for the past six years, and in addition as the chinese economy transforms, it is natural that people may have different views, but my view is that first we need to look at the chinese economy as a whole. last year, china's gdp growth rate slowed down. a 10 trillion u.s. dollar economy to reach a 6.9 percent annual growth rate based on a and in the process of transformation and upgrading is a still hard-won achievement. since the beginning of this
