Hong Kong's new giants

……

In the lobby of the Furama Hotel, a celebration banquet is being held to celebrate the box office of "God of Gamblers" reaching 3700 million.

Speaking of which, just when people in the film industry thought that "DreamWorks" was exhausted, the timely appearance of "God of Gamblers" made everyone shut up; and the box office explosion of "God of Gamblers" will set off the rise of gambling movies.

That night, Lin Zuhui and Pan Dickson, as the bosses, attended the celebration banquet.

"Brother Fa, this is the fifth movie we have collaborated on, right?" Lin Zuhui happily said to Zhou Runhua, holding a glass of wine.

Zhou Runhua's spirit was shaken, he didn't dare to make a big deal, and deliberately lowered the wine glass when clinking glasses.He knows that this boss looks like he is smiling, but if you dare to underestimate him, you will be the one to suffer. This kind of boss is more terrifying than the vicious one.

If Lin Zuhui knew Zhou Runhua's thoughts, he might pour wine on him!Although he is also the kind of 'smiling tiger' who never relents when he is punished (refer to the fierce pursuit of Ma Qingwei), how could he have the idea of ​​punishing people like Zhou Runhua, a money-making tool like Zhou Runhua!

"Boss Lin, it's the fifth movie!" Zhou Runhua said with a smile.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "The box office of the five films with more than 1.5 million yuan is considered a miracle in the history of Hong Kong films! We can still cooperate to 10 films, don't you think?"

Zhou Runhua said directly: "Dreamworks' movie invitation, I have to accept it even if I am busy!"

Lin Zuhui patted Zhou Runhua on the shoulder directly to show his closeness.

《英雄本色1》、《监狱风云》、《赌神》都是3000以上的票房，《英雄本色2》、《英雄本色3》都是2200万以上的票房，足足1.5亿的票房，还真是个奇迹。

There is a difference from the previous life, that is, "The True Colors of Heroes 3" Lin Zuhui directly gave up Xu Ke and let Wu Yusen take full responsibility.Because Lin Zuhui knew that in the previous life, "The True Colors of Heroes 3" was because Xu Ke was too pursuing big productions, and the content was too exaggerated and not close to reality, so the box office was only more than 1800 million, but its investment was much larger than the previous two films.

He is not to be taken advantage of!

Next, two more "God of Gamblers" series will be filmed, and Zhou Runhua's "Across the World" will also be filmed.DreamWorks has made too much money from Chow Run Wah; of course, Chow Run Wah's remuneration is also the highest in Hong Kong, so he didn't treat him badly.

Zhou Runhua always gets paid, clean and tidy.

On the contrary, Wu Yusen not only gets the film salary, but also gets the share, which is the worst way to treat him badly.When he was out of filming, DreamWorks and Wu Yusen signed five films, and now they have filmed four - "A Hero's True Colors" 3, "Prison Storm" 1; He should continue to cooperate. Before he went to Hollywood, he would basically choose to cooperate with DreamWorks.

Lin Zuhui and Zhou Runhua chatted for a long time before they separated. This made the people who attended the banquet today feel that Zhou Runhua is so powerful that Lin Daheng can be so 'favored'.

Lin Zuhui didn't talk to Dehua very much, he simply dealt with it, and didn't intend to win him over. The main reason was that Lin Zuhui's watching his movie didn't have any effect. Maybe after watching it once, he would have forgotten it long ago.

In the previous life, Lin Zuhui liked to watch the movies of Chow Yun-hua, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Lianjie the most, so it was not too difficult to copy. Even the leading actors, directors, and screenwriters all remembered clearly, so it was a proper remake.

Dickson Poon said from the side: "DreamWorks has been recruiting manpower aggressively in the past six months. Is there a new film plan?"

At this time, Debao Cinemas relied entirely on DreamWorks, otherwise it would rely on the literary films of Debao Films. Like his previous life, Dickson Pan had to release them in 1990.

"Let's see, anyway, we can afford it! Director Wu has a film contract, and then I will find Ah Fa to cooperate with him. The two will work together to support the company for a year."

Dickson Poon didn't believe Lin Zuhui's nonsense. Although DreamWorks doesn't make many films every year, it definitely ranks in the top three at the box office, and it's very close to New Arts City.

Lin Zuhui added: "I want to restart the project of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2"!"

Pan Disheng said unexpectedly: "It's not necessary, you are not short of money, so why don't you just watch other actresses play Nie Xiaoqian like this!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I'm a businessman, not a romantic poet! If I have money, I'll make it, what kind of feelings do I want!"

In fact, Lin Zuhui's idea is to film "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" to dilute Wang Zuxian's history in the entertainment industry. He doesn't like Wang Zuxian and Guan Jiahui being often mentioned by netizens in the future. He prefers Jinwu Cangjiao.Of course, if you don't plan to be a long-term woman, you can take as many scenes as you like with those women, such as Dongfang Bubai, Li Lizhen and other women.

Dickson Poon nodded. In fact, he probably understood that Lin Zuhui had suddenly changed his mind. Recently, the tycoon seemed to be paying more attention to DreamWorks. He was afraid that he was planning to make a move on ATV.

"Boss, I'm Zhang Min, the female artist signed this year!"

While Lin Zuhui was chatting with Pan Dickson, a female voice interrupted.

When Lin Zuhui turned around, it was the young and beautiful Zhang Min.

"Hello Miss Zhang, I'm sorry I didn't sign the contract with you personally!"

Zhang Min said happily: "It's okay, I know the boss is very busy!"

Lin Zuhui looked at Zhang Min generously, and instantly thought in his mind that it was time to train Zhou Xingchi.Lin Zuhui memorized Zhou Xingchi's movies in his previous life fluently. He could even go to the set to teach Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical acting skills.

After a brief chat, Zhang Min left Lin Zuhui's side with some reluctance. Although the boss is fickle, others are willing to give money away!

Then, the director Zeng Zhiwei and the heroine Zhang Manyu all greeted Lin Zuhui.

Maggie Cheung is a member of Golden Harvest, but now everyone is interested in outside filming. She also performed in Princess Jin's "Happy Ghost Clashes Ghost" last year.

Zeng Zhiwei is also a member of New Art City, but now New Art City exists in name only, and the seven monsters are cooperating everywhere, and it seems that they are about to fall apart.

That night, Lin Zuhui asked Pan Cheng to have supper together, and planned to give him advice.

Speaking of which, DreamWorks' success today has a lot to do with Pan Cheng's ability. He is a very good butler.Supervision, distribution, and budget are all in order, and all kinds of troubles can be dealt with adequately.When filming in Xiangjiang, there were many cases where clubs asked for land fees. Pan Cheng never told Lin Zuhui about these things, and he handled them all by himself.

Anyway, he has 20 years of experience in this industry, and he has never seen anything in the world!

Of course, Lin Zuhui never treated him badly, and his annual salary of millions also made him one of the highest in the Xiangjiang film industry.

And Pan Cheng also understands that the reason why DreamWorks's films sell well at the box office is actually an outline hand-picked by its own boss; of course, the outside world doesn't know about these things, and they think it is their own credit.

Therefore, I don't know how many film companies and rich people want to poach Pan Cheng; Pan Cheng is not tempted at all, he knows how much he is worth.

"I think you're a bit conservative, haven't you made many new films?"

Pan Cheng said honestly: "I always feel that the meaning is not so good, so I didn't plan to shoot, so I put all my energy into the existing plan!"

In fact, Pan Cheng wanted to say, the nine words 'DreamWorks must be a boutique' were so overwhelming that he didn't really want to make new films.On the contrary, if the boss gave some subject matter outline casually, Pan Chengcheng would take pictures with great interest.

Lin Zuhui didn't blame Pan Cheng, and said directly: "Let's make two more "A Chinese Ghost Story", let's find Chen Xiaodong and Xu Ke to cooperate, the heroine let them try!"

Seeing that the boss was serious, Pan Cheng said, "Okay, I see!"

Although changing the heroine, the box office will not exceed the first one, but it will not lose money anyway.

Then Lin Zuhui said: "You go to TVB to sign an actor named Zhou Xingchi, but we have to sign a contract with him for 10 films, and the contract can be signed for 4 years. Tell him, we want to cultivate a comedian, focusing on cultivating Xiangjiang's The second generation of 'King of Comedy'."

After Zhou Xingchi became popular, he was more difficult to deal with than Zhou Runhua, and he would definitely not be willing to be squeezed by the boss;

Therefore, Lin Zuhui simply squeezed enough at once.

Moreover, once Zhou Xingchi signs the contract, Lin Zuhui will directly train him from comedies like "A Manga Going to the End of the World"; first determine his comedy style, and then make a box office record blockbuster like "The Gambler".

Seeing Lin Zuhui's serious expression, Pan Cheng immediately said, "Don't worry, the boss, I'm afraid you're talking about a young actor. I'll make him sign the contract."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "After you've settled the matter, tell me, let's discuss the movie together."

Pan Cheng knew that it was a discussion, but the boss was actually teaching him.But the boss doesn't like people to know that he understands movies and has participated in movie shooting, so he always passes it on by himself.

"it is good!"

Chapter 2 [shipping]

Monday, May 8.

At the beginning of a new week, Lin Zuhui was always full of enthusiasm, and came to the office of New Times Real Estate early.

Now, every working day, Lin Zuhui will receive about [-] million in cash flow, which is obtained by closing positions in blue chip stocks.

No wonder you're unhappy!

After reading the newspaper for a while, Gao Yi, the general manager of China Real Estate, and Liang Zhenxun, the executive director of New Era, came to Lin Zuhui's office hand in hand.

It was Lin Zuhui who summoned the two of them!

"Together, you will contact several banks whose debts have recently expired, and reduce the debt held by Chinese Real Estate to 15 billion."

At this time, more than 12 billion is quietly lying on the account of Huaren Real Estate, and it is time to clean up the debt.At present, the total debt of Chinese Land is 25.5 billion, and the reduction to 15 billion will cost 10.5 billion.

In this way, there is still 2 million cash flow in the account of Chinese Land, plus the 5.6 million funds that can be withdrawn from the futures contract (net profit 3.6 million), there are still 7.6 million funds to drive after the stock market crash.

The important thing is that it is very easy to borrow new debts when the time comes.Bankers would think: Lin Zuhui's keen investment sense allowed Chinese Land to raise funds to reduce debt holdings when the stock market was at a high point, and he is a very good leader.

"it is good!"

Gao Yi then asked: "Hua Ren has the funds to rebuild the entertainment industry, boss, can we think about it?"

He has long seen the value of rebuilding the entertainment industry, but the strength of China Real Estate has not been able to keep up. Now he thinks it is time to consider adding another building.By then, Huaren Property will own six commercial buildings, which is too strong.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What do you think of the current stock market situation?"

The faces of the two of them froze, the boss would not say this for no reason!

Liang Zhenxun is a professional securities talent, plus he usually notices something when he is around the boss;

So he recently began to study the trend of peripheral securities, the phenomenon of economic overheating, and the excessive speculation in the stock market.

Liang Zhenxun immediately launched his analysis and offer, and said: "I know the boss has also noticed this situation, so I think we should cash out some more shares in subsidiaries and Sun companies."

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. Actually, he didn't require these subordinates to understand the general situation, after all, he had his golden finger; but it was a very good phenomenon that his subordinates could take the initiative to analyze the situation.

He said: "Since a smart and prudent person knows that the storm is about to come, the best time to sell is at this time, so as not to be too late. Don't forget that there is also the dragging effect of the Hang Seng Index futures on the market. It can be big or small."

The two nodded quickly. As early as 1986, the New Era Real Estate Department had formulated a plan to reduce its debt holdings this year, and now it just happened to stabilize all listed companies in the department.

Next, Lin Zuhui made a layout for the two:

Since mid-September, Cathay Pacific City has reduced its 19% stake in Furama Hotel (current market value of 18 billion), retaining only 51%.

Since late September, New Era Real Estate has reduced its 20% stake in Cathay City (market value: 60 billion) and Chinese Land (market value: 14 billion), leaving only 35%.

This time, Liang Zhenxun and Gao Yi were a little shocked!

If the boss does this, it means that the stock market may crash, not a correction.

Is the 'July [-]rd Crash' going to happen again?

In fact, New Era Real Estate is not the only one that can have this prediction. Lin Gaoyan of the former Henderson Land Development predicted in September that "the stock market crash may be coming". After hearing about it, Lee Shau Kee began to ship without hesitation.

Cashing out of major shareholders will definitely affect the stock price, but the stock market is going crazy, and the impact will not be particularly large; what's more, it is reasonable enough to use the money from the reduction of holdings to repay some debts because of the existing reasons.

The important thing is that since the end of September, Lin Zuhui's personal blue chips have almost been cashed out, so it doesn't affect his personal investment!

……

On Wednesday, New Era Real Estate successfully raised 10 billion Hong Kong dollars through the rights issue. For a time, Lin Zuhui was as prestigious as the four major families. The most amazing thing is that Lin Zuhui, as the major shareholder, has issued nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in rights shares to his subsidiaries in the past few months.

There are even rumors that Lin Zuhui restricted all banks from leaving the country and was not allowed to leave Xiangjiang.

Of course, anyone who knows a little bit knows that Lin Zuhui left all his wealth in Xiangjiang, even if he ran out, it would be useless; and the value of the shares held by Lin Zuhui is nearly 70 billion, making him one of the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang.

In the chairman's office of New Era Real Estate, Lin Zuhui is working. He is calculating the asset value and net asset value of New Era Real Estate. prison.

The value of its reserved land is 40 billion (including land and old buildings, including the appreciation part), the value of real estate under construction is 8 million, and the rental property is 8 million;

That is to say: the total value of the property is 56 billion.

The company's cash flow is 15 billion, the value of the futures contract is 5 million, and the value of the shares held by the subsidiary is 42 billion;

That is to say: the total value of non-property is 62 billion.

The asset value is 118 billion, the debt is only 25 billion, and the net assets are 93 billion.

In terms of net assets, it is only a quarter of Hong Kong Land, only 30% of Sun Hung Kai and Cheung Kong, and 40% of Henderson and New World.

The market value is amazing. The market value of New Era Real Estate has always been higher than the net assets. This is a treatment that other real estate companies do not have. It is a full 112 billion, accounting for a little more than 50% of Henderson and New World.

Soon, Lin Zuhui decided not to reduce the debt of New Era Real Estate.

The reason is simple. The August 10th stock market crash had little impact on real estate, only a 15% to [-]% decline; banks will not be nervous about the debt of New Era Real Estate, and the debt ratio is only [-]% after the decline.

On the contrary, after the 15 stock market disaster, New Era Real Estate had to make full use of its 15 billion yuan of working capital, and borrow another 20 billion to [-] billion yuan in debt to quickly invest in real estate development.

As for the debt of New Era Real Estate, it is natural to repay it through the development of real estate to make profits.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui recruited Chen Bin, the general manager, and said: "We will add [-]% to the start of construction of our investment sites!"

The real estate started now will be sold off-plan in the second half of 1988!

Chen Bin did not doubt that he was there, and immediately said: "Okay, I will sort out the information immediately and send it to you for review!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said, "Take some time to inspect Baohua Construction and see if we acquire him, whether it will be a great addition to the company, or if you have suggestions for better construction companies, you can provide them to me."

Chen Bin froze, he knew that the boss was about to get ruthless, and the acquisition of Baohua Construction was a hostile takeover.

But he also knows that his boss is not a good stubble in the first place!

"Okay, I will carefully sort out the information!"

The reason why Lin Zuhui asked Chen Bin to inspect Baohua Construction was because he had a professional background in the construction industry and had been working hard on the site, so he knew very well about construction companies in Hong Kong.

After Chen Bin left, Lin Zuhui showed a helpless smile. He developed too late, and the only way to catch up with those established real estate companies is through acquisitions and integration.

The preparation for the acquisition of Baohua Construction this time is indeed a hostile takeover, but he has no choice!

He has always wanted New Era Real Estate to develop from within, that is, to expand the downstream real estate business.Since the establishment of this goal, the company has successively established Zeshi Building (design institute), construction company, property management company, concrete company, mechanical engineering, decoration company, etc.

But in fact, it was all small troubles, and the progress was not very smooth, mainly due to lack of energy.

Therefore, acquisition is the best solution.
