Hong Kong's new giants

Liang Zhenxun nodded and said: "For 10% of the new shares of Chinese Land (the market value fell to 40 billion after the stock market disaster, which is far below the net asset value), New Times Group needs 4 million to claim it. Cathay Pacific City Hotel Management is privatized (market value is 11.8 billion) , needs 9 million. Funds are still sufficient!"

Chen Bin also reported immediately: "Moreover, our real estate funds have returned very quickly this year, basically more than 1 million per month. This year, New Era Real Estate's real estate development profits are estimated to be more than 7 million, and [-]% of them will be concentrated in sales after May. .”

Lin Zuhui looked at the three of them with a smile, and said relaxedly: "This year, real estate will increase by [-]%!"

Liang Zhenxun, Chen Bin, and Chen Xiaofen looked at their bosses in disbelief. In the first three months of this year, real estate was in a state of depression. Could it be that real estate is going to skyrocket from May.

Lin Zuhui added: "We need to analyze prefectures and cities from the surrounding information. In March, the Hong Kong government reduced stamp duty and banks reduced interest. What does this mean? It’s very strong, it’s time to fall but it’s not falling (reference stocks pull the ground), so the real estate market will reproduce the madness of 1985!”

In 1985, real estate only rose slightly in the first quarter, but since May, real estate has been rising all the way, with an annual increase of 4% to 5%.

The three carriages were ashamed. Although they were optimistic about real estate, they were definitely not as shrewd as the boss is now, and their analysis was so reasonable and convincing.

Chen Bin immediately said: "From this point of view, our New Era Real Estate's profit will exceed 10 billion this year. This is the first time we have achieved such a good result without non-recurring profits. The supply has never been this high this year!"

Everyone echoed that, before the stock market crash last year, his boss started a large number of real estate projects in order to increase the supply of floor area in 1988.Before the stock market crash, New Era Real Estate promoted a large number of its real estate properties and returned a large amount of funds.

Now it seems that apart from his own boss, Xiangjiang has no other real estate developers with such courage and vision!

Lin Zuhui finally said: "New Era Real Estate should not stop in April and May, and continue to buy cheap land and old buildings in the market. The mere debt of 45 billion is nothing to me, so you don't need to worry!"

"Ok!"

Because New Era Real Estate has a large amount of land reserves, it has extremely strong profitability and a very high reputation; the debt is only 45 billion, and the annual interest is only 4.5 million, which is not too high a debt ratio.

If there is an opportunity, Lin Zuhui will use finance to reduce the debt of New Era Real Estate again.After the real estate started to rise in May, the stock market that followed it gradually began to regain confidence. It is expected that the Hang Seng Index will reach 3200 points by May next year.Relying on this wave of financial trends, Lin Zuhui only needs to invest in some securities and futures contracts. If he only considers the market, he will make a lot of money.

Chapter 229 [Manila 'Hilton' Raiders]

On Thursday morning, Lin Zuhui came to the headquarters of Cathay City Hotel Management Company.

As the flagship hotel management company of New Era Group, Cathay City does not place its headquarters in 'China Property Center', but uses its own office property in Wanchai.

There are only dozens of management and staff in Cathay City. At present, foreign management accounts for one-third, and even the president has become a British citizen. A high-level position in the group is regarded as a promotion.

Lin Zuhui came to his office, picked up the newspaper on the desk and read it.Regardless of whether he comes to this company or not, his subordinates will prepare every day's newspaper.

Picking up my own financial professional newspaper "Economic Daily", there is a big news on the front page: Yu Pinhai, the board director of the listed company Zhiren Consulting Management Co., Ltd., has repeatedly committed theft, counterfeit checks, illegal He was sentenced to two years in prison minus one day for seven charges including using other people's credit cards and possession of firearms.

NICE!

The reporter of "Economic Daily" finally obtained the evidence in Canada and reported the news.It is conceivable that this news will cause a sensation in Hong Kong.

Although Yu Pinhai has not acquired Ming Pao Group at this time, he is also the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company.Before Zhicai Consulting Management Company goes public, Yu Pinhai needs to truthfully report the real history, and it is obvious that he will be in trouble.

The reason why Lin Zuhui wanted to destroy Yu Pinhai ahead of time even though he had a good relationship with Jin Daxia was because Yu Pinhai looked like Jin Daxia's dead eldest son, which was an inherent advantage.

He doesn't allow things to happen unexpectedly, so he can only ask the event to advance.

After a while, the president of Cathay City, Corbett, and the vice president, Li Mingtao, came to Lin Zuhui's office hand in hand.Cathay City uses a mixed management of Huayang and Yang. As for the integration, Lin Zuhui is not worried, because Cathay City Hotel will soon develop overseas, and there is no time for intrigue.

What's more, Cathay City may be privatized by New Era Group in May (not sure if the privatization will be successful), and the group has a greater voice.

"sit!"

Lin Zuhui arranged for the two to sit down while taking out a stack of documents from the briefcase.This information is from the management of Cathay Pacific City. It was handed over to Lin Zuhui two days ago, and it is about the "Hilton Hotel" in Manila.

Manila is the capital of the Philippines. The Hilton Hotel in Manila covers a very large area. If the political situation is stable and the economy is prosperous, the hotel is very profitable.

However, since February 1986, the Filipino people successfully overthrew the poisonous vegetables and established a new government. However, apart from the huge foreign debts left by the previous government, the politics are extremely unstable.In the mid-to-late 2s, there were six attempted mutinies.In addition to political and economic issues, the country has also suffered from many natural disasters, such as the Luzon earthquake, the eruption of the Pinatubo Volcano, the Visayas tsunami, etc. The energy crisis lasted for several years, making the Philippine economy virtually shut down.

The political situation is extremely unstable and the economy is extremely sluggish, making foreign capital flee the Philippines one after another.In this wave of withdrawal of foreign capital, the Hilton Group can no longer hold on.

At the beginning of the year, Lin Zuhui learned from a director of the "Grand Hotel Group" that Phils, the major shareholder of the parent company of the Philippine Hilton Hotel, "Acesite", wanted to sell the Hilton Hotel and withdraw from the Philippines.

Lin Zuhui immediately made a decision to pick up the leak, and arranged for Corbett and Li Mingtao to investigate and contact.

Because he knows that as long as he sticks to it for one to three years, the current investment may be fully recovered in one to two years, and the rest is his own profit.He remembered that the Philippine government implemented economic reforms in the early 90s, and then the economy began to explode.

"Now, Cathay City needs to make a plan immediately to take over the Manila Hilton Hotel through the stock market (Acesite is a listed company in the Philippines)!"

Corbett immediately said: "However, the cash in the company's account is only 500 million U.S. dollars. According to our analysis, this time it needs about 1500 million U.S. dollars to succeed!"

Cathay City originally had a cash flow of more than 3 million yuan, and all debts were repaid, reducing the debt to 7 million yuan!

1.1 million Hong Kong dollars, to buy a five-star hotel, and it is a five-star hotel with a large area, Lin Zuhui couldn't help laughing in his heart.The five-star hotels in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and New York cost over HK$10 billion at every turn!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Have you heard the story of Milken on Wall Street?"

Corbett said: "I have heard that he is the founder of the 'junk bond' acquisition method, and his influence is very large!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Coincidentally, he had also studied Milken's acquisition methods.

In the 80s, mergers and acquisitions were blooming everywhere in the United States, and Milken was at the right time on Wall Street.Because in the 80s and [-]s, the inflation and unemployment rate in the United States climbed, and credit was severely tightened. In an instant, the high-return bonds in the investment portfolios of many fund companies were lowered by bond rating agencies and reduced to 'junk bonds'.At this time, Milken saw the business opportunity, and he set up a trading department for low-grade bonds in Drex Investment Company to invest in 'junk bonds', which, according to his previous life, was 'buying the bottom'.Later, Drakes issued a large proportion of loans in the form of "junk securities" to merge companies, that is, leveraged buyouts.

The acquisition method pioneered by Milken has affected a group of people, including Liu Luanxiong in the past two years.

"So, I plan to make a 'high-risk financial arrangement', using Cathay City as a guarantee, but the mortgage is the Hilton Hotel, borrowing $900 million from the bank, and transferring the debt to the Hilton Hotel. Then use the US dollar against the yen The price difference, the difference between the Philippine interest rate and the overseas interest rate, I estimate that the actual acquisition should only need 1200 million US dollars. In this way, our Cathay Pacific City only needs to invest 300 million US dollars to obtain a five-star hotel.”

For high-risk financial arrangements, the interest rate will rise to 12% to 14% (currently 8%), but if the Hilton Hotel has an annual income of 25%, Cathay Pacific City can get a differential return of about 11%; The Hilton Hotel has grown steadily for 3 to 5 years, and the resulting differential returns are even more impressive.

In fact, past life evidence stabilized in the Philippines by 1989.From this, it can be inferred that the Hilton Hotel in Manila was able to maintain a steady growth in profitability during the three years from 1989 to 1991; To a five-star hotel (the purchase price is very cheap).

Corbett and Li Mingtao were very convinced by Lin Zuhui's strategy, and they all nodded in agreement.

Next, Lin Zuhui began to arrange for the establishment of a working group for the two to quickly take over the Manila Hilton Hotel.

In the end, Lin Zuhui said: "Move quickly! The Philippines is just an opening for us to open up overseas expansion. My personal investment company has investigated good hotel projects in Canada and the United States. By then, Cathay City will usher in explosive development."

Time is money. Lin Zuhui will invest Hengjin Investment in the United States to search for hotel projects and hotel management networks in the United States and Canada, which will be used as a channel for Cathay Pacific's urban expansion.

Corbett is not only a hotel management talent, but also very proficient in the international development of hotels, so he took on the role of the team leader of the acquisition this time; and Lin Zuhui's personal investment company—Hengjin Investment, is the consultant for this acquisition. Assisting in the acquisition of Cathay Pacific City happens to also expand its business.

"Okay! BOSS! Guaranteed to complete the acquisition this month. After all, we have been preparing for more than a month." Corbett said confidently.

"Report to me anytime!"

"Ok!"

Lin Zuhui is naturally unwilling to go to a place as chaotic as Manila, so apart from participating in the "high-risk financial" loan in Xiangjiang, he can only determine his leadership position by grasping the progress of the project.

This year is a great development opportunity for New Times Group in the hotel industry, but he will not let go of this golden opportunity.

Chapter 2 Thirty [Power ATV]

Lin Zuhui came to the ATV headquarters building at No. 81 Broadcasting Road, and met with the Chief Executive Officer Zhou Liang Shuyi in the office.

Zhou Liang Shuyi didn't dare to trust her, let alone rely on Zheng Yutong's support to reduce her respect for Lin Zuhui.

Because she learned from Uncle Tong that the acquisition of ATV was proposed by Lin Zuhui, and Uncle Tong also revealed that the real boss of ATV is Lin Zuhui, and he is just the person in front.

What's more, Lin Zuhui is still a media tycoon in Xiangjiang, and his own experience is even more legendary. With such a boss, Zhou Liang Shuyi is naturally convinced.

After Lin Zuhui invited Zhou Liang Shuyi to sit down, he asked: "How is the company's poaching progress?"

At this time, the new consortium has entered ATV for almost two months, and there should be some progress, so Lin Zuhui asked.

Selina Chow reported earnestly: "Whether it's in front of the stage or behind the scenes, many people have agreed or loosened to come to our ATV. After they learned that behind the ATV is you and Uncle Tong, they all expressed their optimism... There is Zheng Shaoqiu , Shen Dianxia, ​​Wang Mingquan, Li Xiangqin, Lu Haipeng and a large number of TVB front and back stage pillars expressed their intention to pass the stage to me."

Lin Zuhui nodded, these casts are quite good, it seems that this woman is really 'cruel' to her former boss!

It makes sense for each to be their master, not to mention that as early as 1978, Selina Chow had left TVB.

Lin Zuhui said: "While poaching roles, you must also ensure that our backyard will not be poached by wireless. Therefore, ATV's official staff and management will all raise their salaries by [-]%. You can let the wind out for me. I will talk to Uncle Tong later. Can."

After speaking, Lin Zuhui looked at Zhou Liangshuyi to see how she would choose.

Zhou Liang Shuyi didn't know what Lin Zuhui meant. If she dared to speak up and get the approval of the chairman, she might fall out of favor in the future.

So, she said without hesitation: "Okay, I will take my colleagues to thank the boss!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, this woman is not stupid, she knows who ATV ultimately belongs to!If he hadn't been worried that the Hong Kong government suspected that he had too much influence in the media field, he would never have allowed Zheng Yutong's shares to be greater than his own.

Of course, Zheng Yutong didn't compete with Lin Zuhui for anything, anyway, the two of them cooperated very happily.

Lin Zuhui added: "A screenwriter from DreamWorks submitted an article to me, saying that he planned a program. Let me tell you, you go organize a group to study it!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi quickly said: "Okay, boss, tell me!"

She suspected that the boss had a lot of ideas of her own, and it was impossible to entrust the full power to her own management. After all, others are media kings, so how could it be possible without some skills.

"This TV program is called 'Awards'. Popular artists are invited to play games and compete for prizes, but the style uses 'spoofs' to attract the audience. It is normal for the host to make jokes, and they can also make fun of the artists' scandals and negative news. The parties involved are also merciless in the presence. Then design a wide variety of game links, in addition to the regular fun links, you can also completely "make a fool of the stars". I laughed out loud... These interesting games such as 'Gu Ge Zi', 'Spicy Sushi', 'Ping Pong Bo', 'Big TV', etc., will surely amuse the audience."

TV programs are easier to read than movie script outlines. For some interesting games, Lin Zuhui is decades ahead of this era. Just a few words are enough to increase the ratings.

At this time, Zhou Liang Shuyi quickly recorded it with paper and pen, feeling a little uneasy.Just from dictation, she has already found that the program is highly entertaining and will most likely be popular with the audience.

"Boss, this idea is great. Shall we give your screenwriter a job and let him participate in the preparation!" Zhou Liang Shuyi said excitedly with a bright face.

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "No, I've already bought out his idea. The rest is for the TV station. He needs to concentrate on writing the screenplay. By the way, I like Zeng Zhiwei as the host of this TV show. He is very suitable. There is no one candidate for this show, you go arrange it!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded quickly and said, "Well, I must pay attention to this program and communicate well with Zeng Zhiwei."

After Selina Chow left, Lin Zuhui stretched himself, ATV needed to take it step by step, and let out his thoughts step by step.

But the most urgent task is to buy Qiu Degen's remaining shares, make his own shares the same as Zheng Yutong's, and then slowly take ATV into his own hands.

Then, Lin Zuhui got up and planned to go to the drama production department to have a look!His orders cannot be conveyed only through Selina Chow, he needs more cronies.

At the corner of the corridor, a reckless girl almost bumped into Lin Zuhui, and the bodyguard A Jun almost beat her up in fright.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" The girl quickly apologized, she was too scared by Ah Jun's eyes just now.

Lin Zuhui signaled Ah Jun not to be nervous, and said to the girl with a smile, "Are you Ye Zhiming's younger sister Ye Yuqing?"

Ye Yuqing nodded quickly and said, "Boss, you know me!"

Lin Zuhui said: "Your brother showed me your photo!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Yuqing's face was a little blush. She knew that her brother was cooperating with DreamWorks to open a record company, and her brother often showed off that he had played with tycoon Lin Zuhui several times; but she didn't expect that her brother would directly show his photos to others , Could it be that you are promoting yourself?

But in the end is to promote the resources of acting, or that aspect?

"Boss, where are you going, do you want me to show you the way?"

Ye Yuqing reacted quickly and found an opportunity.

"Go to the drama production department, you take me there!"

"it is good!"

On the way, Lin Zuhui took the initiative to care: "I heard from your brother that your acting career has always been tepid!"

Ye Yuqing nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I took some unpopular works, maybe I didn't work hard enough!"

She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lin Zuhui's blunt words, maybe he wanted to help her!

"It's difficult, the entertainment industry usually doesn't catch on at the beginning, and it will be even more difficult later on!"

Ye Yuqing's face froze, the boss's words were too shocking!

Fortunately, what Lin Zuhui said next made Ye Yuqing happy.

"Leave me a call and we'll talk later!"

"Well, thank you boss!"

Ask Ah Jun to take down the phone number, Lin Zuhui also came to the drama production department, and Ye Yuqing left voluntarily.

"Hi boss!"

The staff greeted Lin Zuhui's appearance one after another. It is definitely no longer a secret. Maybe no one will recognize him on the road, but he is still easy to recognize in his own company.

"Boss, you're here!" Li Zhaoxiong, the person in charge of the drama production department, happened to be there, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Well, come here and identify the door! Manager Li, let me meet everyone!"

"Ok!"

Lin Zuhui came this time, in addition to identifying his family, he also came here to beat Li Zhaoxiong, a "traitor".

After meeting the staff, Lin Zuhui came to Li Zhaoxiong's office.

"Manager Li, after the president has recruited the company's people, I plan to do a few big investment dramas, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Hearing Lin Zuhui's "big investment drama", the first reaction in Li Zhaoxiong's mind was "really big production".After all, where does Lin Zuhui's name come from!

"Boss, don't worry, we will live up to our expectations!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "Recently, all employees have to raise their salaries by [-]%. As leaders, you must stabilize the company well. Especially you, the person in charge of the drama department, not only must stabilize the talents in this department, but also take the initiative to attack. Digging outside!"

Li Zhaoxiong's eyelids jumped when he heard the wage increase of [-]%, and he was very happy!

"Well, I will definitely take the initiative!"
