Asia stopover. The British Foreign Secretary visits Japan to discuss | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
trade and security ties ahead of that. And, superpowered profits. | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
Comic book companies are raking it in as franchises become more | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
popular. Welcome to the Asia Business Report, | :01:55. | :02:08. | |
Boris Johnson is in Japan today. He is therefore talks that are likely | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
to be dominated by concerns about Britain's departure from the | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
European Union. Boris Johnson visited this robotics centre in | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Tokyo. He has been talking up the strong economic ties between the two | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
countries, noting that Japanese countries have invested more than | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
$15 billion in Britain. Japan's political and business leaders are | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
reported to be concerned about the state of the Brexit negotiations, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
and although Mr Johnson is not directly involved in the | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
negotiations, it is important for him to reassure the Japanese | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
leaders. We discussed what Japanese firms will be expecting from these | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
talks. It is important for Japan to get some reassurance regarding their | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
foreign investments. The UK is the second largest investment space for | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Japan, and a lot of investment that Japan did was to export products to | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
the EU. So it is important for the UK to reassure Japanese companies | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
that they will still be able to export those products after Brexit. | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
Let's take a look at this chart. Talking about Japanese investment | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
into the UK, it has got some surprising details about how much | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
went into the UK from Japan after Brexit. The largest amount of | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
investment that we saw as their in history was in the third quarter of | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
last year, just after the Brexit referendum. It is possible some of | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
those deals were negotiated before Wexford, but we continue to see | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
pretty large investments in the following quarters as well. So far, | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
Japanese firms still seem confident that the UK is a good place for | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
investment. What about a post- Brexit UK trade deal with Japan? The | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
EU has just signed one, could it collocate matters for Japan to side | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
with the UK? The fact that there is already a trade deal may make it | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
easy. In principle, there is nothing stopping the UK and Japan from | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
keeping that deal, even after the UK leads the EU. That would obviously | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
be positive for Japanese manufacturers and car manufacturers, | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
the existing tariffs would be remaining the same for Japan. The | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
European Union's chief Brexit negotiator has asked Britain to | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
clarify details regarding settlement and citizen's rights. That followed | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
discussions in Brussels. While the EU is demanding compromises, the | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
UK's top negotiator seemed encouraged by the progress made so | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
far. There is a lot to talk about and further work before we can | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
resolve this. Ultimately, a solution will require flexibility from both | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
sides. Negotiations have only just started. Of course there are | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
compromises to be made, but it is too early to talk about it. We are | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
not there yet. Oil giant ExxonMobil has been fined for violating | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
sanctions against Russia while Rex Tillerson was its chief executive. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
The company dealt with the President of the Russian oil giant when he was | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
blacklisted by the US. They have challenged the fine and called it | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
fundamentally unfair. The largest dark web marketplaces have been shut | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
down following a major international investigation. Alphabay and Hansa | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
were linked to drug trade, stolen data and weapons trade. Shares in | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
eBay have fallen about 5% in after-hours trade after they warned | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
that profits could fall for this quarter below analyst estimates. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
They are spending big on marketing and revamping their platforms to | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
attract more shoppers. It is striving to compete with rivals like | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
Amazon. Microsoft has had a revenue jump in the three months to June. It | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
saw shares rise in after hours trade. However, they are laying off | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
thousands of workers from the global sales team in a bid to boost its | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Cloud division. The Microsoft CEO has confronted one | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
of the biggest challenges of the sector, taking a company that was | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
dominant in one market and retooling it for new markets. Its original | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
moneyspinner is steadily losing value. In Microsoft's case, Windows | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
software was at the heart of the original computer revolution. But | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
that is not today's revolution. Now, the growth is in places like social | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
media and cloud computing. So, more of the company's efforts are going | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
into cloud computing. Thursday's earnings show that effort is paying | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
off. The company reported a better than expected revenue of $24.7 | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
billion for the quarter, and they also had an intelligent cloud | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
segment which contributed nearly 30% of that revenue. Nearly as much as | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
its personal computing segment. Still, the earnings also showed that | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
they cost the company, and its employees. They recorded a $306 | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
million charge for the severance payments made to workers who were | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
laid off. Superman, Star Wars, Harry Potter, | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
these are some of the franchisors loved around the world. For fans, | :08:30. | :08:42. | |
nothing is bigger than ComicCon. It earns millions of dollars each year | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
in its host city, San Diego. We spoke to the author of ComicCon who | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
is speaking at six panels today. He told me the event just keeps getting | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
bigger. There are already about 150,000 people at the convention | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
centre ,, and there will be even more people going to events outside | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
of that. The convention itself brings in about 150 million people | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
to the city of San Diego. San Diego ComicCon has spawned an industry | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
across North America and worldwide. I calculated that as an economic | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
impact of about 3- $4 billion. To the cinema, you have seen | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Hollywood's obsession with superheroes and comic book heroes. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
What are some of the big brand names and corporate firms who are out | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
there this year? Warner Brothers, the parent company of DC, they have | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
had a big hit this summer with wonder woman. Marvel Studios have | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
had a recent release with Spiderman. You have got perennial television | :10:03. | :10:19. | |
brands from Netflix, Stranger Things has been very successful. We have | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
also seen huge success in Game of Sloanes, there are a number of | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
television shows that are doing extremely well -- Thrones. What is | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
the biggest event that everyone will camp out for this year? Everyone has | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
their own favourite, my pick for the biggest one this time would be the | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Warner Brothers panel on Saturday morning. That will feature what is | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
coming up next in the DC universe, which a lot of fans are looking for | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
two, and Steven Spielberg will be here to give us a first look at his | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
new film. We have also got the new Laid Runner film which is coming | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
out, Harrison forward will be coming out for that. -- Blade. Dr Who will | :11:11. | :11:25. | |
also be a big drawcard. There has been an asset to share | :11:26. | :11:42. | |
technology in electric cars. They are furthering their global | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
ambitions to transform into an electric only car | :11:50. | :11:50. |
