Hong Kong's new giants

Any large real estate company in Xiangjiang has a retail business (including retail of clothing, medicine, and daily necessities), and New Times Group will naturally get involved. This is a matter of influence.

At present, Hong Kong's retail industry is occupied by Jardine (7-11 Convenience, Wellcome Supermarket) and Hutchison Whampoa (Watsons, Mannings, ParknShop), accounting for more than 5% of Hong Kong's supermarkets.Huarun entered the supermarket in Hong Kong in 1984 and currently has 30 supermarkets.

There are comprehensive and specialized supermarkets in Xiangjiang, all of which are well-stocked and compactly arranged to make up for the lack of space.At the same time, Xiangjiang Supermarket has many outlets, so you don't have to drive to shop like in Europe and the United States, which also makes up for the lack of parking lots.

After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui said: "Yonghui Superstores is characterized by fresh food supermarkets. In this regard, you must pay special attention to the 'freshness' of fresh products. Only in this way can we make every effort to gain a share in the supermarket market."

Lu Donglai nodded and said, "Well, we have now established a complete fresh food supply chain, and we definitely have an advantage in this regard!"

Lin Zuhui went on to say: "In the retail business of the general department, you are going to hand over to the senior staff. Now you have a new task, that is, to set up a whole subsidiary of 'Time Communication', and immediately prepare for satellite TV. The Hong Kong government will release it in a year or two. Our group must actively participate in the development of the mobile phone market and the telecommunications market.”

Lu Donglai's mood was immediately mobilized. He is an executive who returned to Hong Kong with a high-achieving student, and he once served as the general manager of the Cathay City Hotel.

If the boss hadn't talked to him, he would have thought he was demoted.

"The satellite TV the boss mentioned, did you negotiate with Asia Communications to lease the transceiver? And satellite launches are also dangerous!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said, "It's not far from ten, let's prepare first! I plan to invest 30 billion in this project (not a one-time expenditure). After the broadcast, it will cover more than 30 countries and regions and have 5000 million household users."

Lu Donglai was surprised, the boss was as ambitious as ever.

"Where is the Hong Kong government?"

"I'll talk, they won't give me face!"

Lu Donglai was suddenly shocked. He didn't know when his boss had an influence no less than that of Li Chaoren.

After Lu Dong came down, Lin Zuhui meditated in the office.

Today, the comprehensive department of New Times Group is also investing in retail and satellite TV, and is also preparing to enter the mobile phone market and telecommunications industry, which can be described as ambitious.

Not only that, for the container terminal business, Lin Zuhui is also planning (mainly to acquire shares), intending to win future projects such as Kwai Chung No. [-] and [-] container terminals and the River Terminal.

His idea is that the New Times Group has sufficient cash flow, and this year he won the Ming Pao Group, and his influence will take another step forward; then, whether it is the British Hong Kong government or the mainland officials, they will win him over to Lin Zuhui even more. Will be lower than plum cucumber.After all, Lin Zuhui also has communication industries such as ATV and DreamWorks.

These projects can have stable returns and increase Lin Zuhui's influence in Hong Kong, so they are worth investing in.

After such a plan, it can be regarded as a war with the "Xiangjiang of the Li Family", and cut Li Cucumber's strength by several percent.

Of course, Lin Zuhui also thought about whether he would be called "Lin Cucumber" in the future and be cast aside by others?

In fact, he has already thought about it, that is to enter the mainland to only do commercial real estate projects and infrastructure projects, and do less residential projects.

In addition, LEIT Group can solve a large number of employment for the Mainland, and Xiaomi Technology will be the only magic weapon for him to reverse the negative impact.

He thought about it, Xiaomi Technology is only a technology company in Xiangjiang after all, and it can still have a certain degree of flexibility in the collision between China and the West.The big deal is that before 2015, he cashed out most of the shares and left, handing over to his successor to have both sides.

Regardless of political factors, Xiaomi Technology can create many products for human beings, such as VCD, U disk, MP3 and other world-class products. At that time, Lin Zuhui will save a lot of reputation.

Of course, by that time, his sons had already blossomed all over the world, and it would be no problem for him to stand in front of them to keep out the wind and rain.

In the end, the problem came back again. It turns out that having more children is very important!

It's like a phenomenon: Why do paralyzed officials from various countries let their children immigrate?

……

Sunday, May 3.

In Mid-Levels, Diligende Court welcomes a group of people from Xiangjiang who are either rich or expensive to inspect houses.

This time, New Era Real Estate sold 68 residential units in Diligendege One, and the remaining 8 residential units in the first one are currently leased.

After New Era Group took over the project, it began to clear the tenants of one building and arranged for the second building to be leased; even so, there were still eight tenants who had not yet expired or had failed to negotiate.

But it doesn't matter, 68 residential units, a full 27.2 square feet, are priced at 4180 yuan per square foot, the unit price of which is the most expensive luxury residential property in Hong Kong.

Because it is an existing house, New Era Real Estate adopts on-site inspections, thinking of selling it on a first-come, first-served basis.

As a result, there were a lot of rich people who came to view the house that day, and it was sold out in just 3 hours, which became the biggest topic in Xiangjiang for a while.

Before leaving get off work that day, Lin Zuhui heard Chen Xiaofen's good news in his office.

"Well, it's a bit beyond my expectation. The people who buy houses are all those rich people. How many do you know?"

Chen Xiaofen said with a smile: "I know many of them. For example, Ye Zhicheng, the 'Banana Water King', bought 2 units by himself; and Lin Guangru, the 'Packaging and Printing King', also bought 2 units...Of course, there are many I don’t know, Xiangjiang has a lot of anonymous rich people, and one person bought three residential units, and I have never heard of this person.”

Lin Zuhui nodded. Chen Xiaofen is very good at socializing, and knows many celebrities in Xiangjiang. If she doesn't know him, it means that the rich man is really low-key.

Lin Zuhui guessed that many of these people were the descendants of the warlords or those who went sideways, and they might even be the descendants of the Manchu dynasty. These people came to Hong Kong with a lot of gold.Even if you don't do business, as long as you invest in some properties, your wealth will increase day by day in the long run.

As for those who can't hold on to their family property, it is only a few families, and most families know how to invest better than ordinary people.

For example, the Fu Laorong family sold the Furama Hotel to themselves and cashed in a full 10 billion; as far as Lin Zuhui knew, the Furama Hotel was only one-tenth of the Fu Larong family's property.

In other words, at the end of the 80s, this family was already worth tens of billions of dollars.

In the Hong Kong Billionaires List in 1990 in the previous life, there were only three people with a wealth of more than 100 billion. One can imagine how "ignorant" the wealth list is, but it only calculates personal wealth based on market value.

In a small Hong Kong, there are many rich people than everyone imagined.

After Chen Xiaofen left, Lin Zuhui calculated his financial situation in Hong Kong in his office.

Blue chip stocks are expected to withdraw funds: 13 billion (5 million five times leverage, net profit of 8 million, currently [-]% cash out)

USD/JPY foreign exchange: 28 billion (10.8 billion principal, 132 times leverage, currently 140 points, expected to ship above [-] points)

Dili Gende Pavilion withdrawn funds: 8 million

The futures contract is expected to withdraw funds: 6 million (2.5 million principal, the buying point is below 2500 points, the current Hang Seng Index is 3100 points)

Almost 55 billion in cash!

But he also has 30 billion in debt.

There is no rush to repay the debts. It is better to use these funds to buy bottoms. This time, we will strive to have enough food and drink.

New Times Group, Chinese Land, and the Lin family all had 50 billion to 60 billion in cash before the plunge. If these bullets are fired, the "bang bang" will be heard non-stop.

……

Monday.

Liang Botao, chairman of Peregrine's board of directors, came to Lin Zuhui's office.

He tentatively asked: "Could it be that you have really pickled the Wing On Group stock in the hands of Huaren Properties? You know, as long as you take over Zheng's shares, even if you buy the Wing On Group at the highest price of 24 yuan, you will not be able to buy it." No loss!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "I don't believe you want to ask me about this matter, you want to ask about the securities situation, right? You Peregrine want to go public through a backdoor?"

Liang Botao immediately laughed, knowing that he couldn't hide it from his friends!

Although he is pretentious about the securities industry, he actually admires Lin Zuhui's vision!

"That's right, we have taken a fancy to Guangshenghang, and plan to acquire a backdoor listing!"

Hong Kong Kwong Sang Hong is a cosmetics company. Its brands include Yashuang and Liushen. As for these brands in the mainland, they are just assets that were confiscated back then and used for continued development.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said mysteriously: "Just wait for the opportunity, there is no need to pay too high a price now!"

Liang Botao understood in seconds, and immediately said, "I've been taught!"

Although he is a professional securities expert, he is definitely far behind Lin Zuhui in terms of the general trend of securities. From the perspective of Lin Zuhui's investment in blue chip stocks before the August [-]th stock market disaster, Liang Botao has already admired him extremely.

Not to mention, everyone is saying that Lin Zuhui is a master of foreign exchange and the "stock god" of Xiangjiang.

Lin Zuhui finally said: "When the time comes, the New Era Group will come to participate in the shares, and it will be regarded as supporting you!"

"Thank you!"

Liang Botao felt that he hadn't really helped Lin Zuhui too much. Those securities consultants in the past were just business; Lin Zuhui made his own decisions about stock trading, and he was just a consultant.

On the contrary, Lin Zuhui helped him a lot. When Peregrine was established, Lin Zuhui personally lent him 3000 million in cash, and arranged for New Times Group to take a stake in Peregrine (the shares can be redeemed), which really helped a lot.

Now in terms of backdoor listing, Liang Botao couldn't help but ask his friends for their opinions!

In fact, Lin Zuhui's idea is very simple, he does not dislike many talents, even if they are not of much use to him now, he is willing to help.Li Chaoren's brainstorming group claims to have 300 people, and Lin Zuhui's is also quite a lot.

Li Yeguang, Li Chaoren's Queen's Counsel, is now also a director of New Times Group. Li Yeguang is very famous and has served as a director of more than 20 companies, accounting for 20% of the market value of Hong Kong.Therefore, no one can be hired, not to mention that in two years, someone else will be the chairman of the Stock Exchange.

After Liang Botao left, Lin Zuhui leaned back on the seat.

Before the crisis came, he and many others disclosed a little bit of information, which of course would not affect the market.Even if he publishes news in the newspaper now, calling out stockholders and real estate speculators to liquidate, those people may not listen.Just like when the government fire trucks drove to the stock exchange back then, stockholders still go their own way.

The information disclosed to Liang Botao is very simple, that is, the stock market is too high now, so we can wait.

Once there is a sharp drop in May, Liang Botao will know when to act!

If it is a backdoor listing, the stock price should be as low as a certain level; if it is a full acquisition, then wait until after the end of October.

Chapter 295 [Rural Surrounding the City]

March 3rd is the anniversary of ATV.

As early as January of this year (1989), Lin Zuhui secretly instructed Zhou Liang Shuyi to prepare the first large-scale program "Entrepreneurship Taiwan Celebrates Guanghua", and planned to use it as an annual large-scale Taiwan celebration party in the future.

The budget given by Lin Zuhui is 880 million, which is enough to beat the production cost of any evening show in Hong Kong.At this time, ATV was on top of the cast, not to mention a [-]-[-] split with TVB, but at least a [-]-[-] split, not as thorough as the previous life.

Shen Dianxia signed a contract for two years, and she paid 500 million at the beginning. Her husband Zheng Shaoqiu is not cheap, in addition to the transfer fee, there is also a film salary.

In short, after spending 10 billion last year, I earned 7.2 million back, and lost 2.8 million in less than a year.

ATV's artists include: Shen Dianxia, ​​Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Lu Haipeng, Bao Qijing, Luo Wen, Huang Rihua, Lu Liangwei, He Jiajin, Li Xiangqin, Lin Jianming, Zeng Huaqian... Jiang Hua, Luo Jialiang, Liming, Guo Fucheng, Zhang Jiahui, Lan Jieying, Zhou Huimin...etc. Dozens of entertainers.ATV also has a secret weapon, which was hand-picked by Lin Zuhui and invited Teresa Teng from Taiwan to perform (it was Lin Qingxia's favor, otherwise it would be a bit difficult).

It can be said that when the publicity started a week ago, wireless was already in chaos!

That night, Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong also attended the Taiwan celebration party. This was almost the first time Wang Lingyin appeared in public.Because Lin Zuhui knew that it was inevitable that he would give the camera their table, and he might even be interviewed by the host, so it was not appropriate to bring other women.

In the opening program, many artists sang and danced on the stage, which can be described as shining stars.

In fact, in the previous life, ATV basically trained half of the entertainers in the show business circle, but they turned to TVB one after another.Later TVB stars like Wan Ziliang, Leslie Cheung, Liming, Zhang Jiahui, etc., all came from ATV.

The show was fantastic and a success!

Almost at the end, Teresa Teng appeared as the finale and brought the show to the climax.

The next day.

Selina Chow came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported that the audience rating of the Taiwan Celebration Gala last night was 36%, equivalent to 216 million viewers, which is very impressive.

Lin Zuhui said: "Taiwan celebration is very successful, and we will do it every year in the future! But in this way, we are like a living target, and TVB may have a show hedge at the same time."

Selina Chow was very curious about how Lin Zuhui knew the enemy so well. One must know that her boss is the chairman of the board of directors of multiple industries, and ATV only came once a week to put it bluntly.

"Although this is the case, we have to do it, after all, it has been so successful!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, it is true, there is no way to catch a turtle in a jar.

Then, Lin Zuhui handed over the script of "Genesis" to Zhou Liang Shuyi, and said: "Since ATV has risen, let's try to open this year's [-]-[-] with TVB! This is the script outline given to me by someone else, and I couldn't help applauding after reading it." For business war dramas, you need to find someone to produce them properly. I have notes for some actors, and ATV must pay enough attention to them. This is one of our flagship dramas this year."

The release of "Bao Qingtian" in the first half of the year and "Genesis" in the second half of the year are enough to make future generations of netizens comment. ATV has steadily outperformed TVB in terms of dramas in the past two years.

As for the later stage, ATV has established a tradition of family fashion dramas, firmly grasping the hearts of teachers.Lin Zuhui can also hand-pick the shooting of serials such as "Legend of the New White Snake", "I Have a Date with Spring", "I Have a Date with Zombies"; of course, he cannot provide the script outline, and he may only know the general theme.

However, he believes that as long as the foundation is solid, ATV will not lose to TVB in the drama series.

What's more, Lin Zuhui has too many visions, and he can hang TVB. For example, if the one is obviously popular, he will let people go to TVB to recruit people in advance. The one from ATV has obviously high potential, so he tells ATV to focus on training.Although it is said that "seven points are praised, three points are only", but there are also some celebrities who will not be popular no matter how popular they are.

Zhou Liang Shuyi did not doubt Lin Zuhui's vision, so she immediately regarded it as a treasure, and said happily: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely attach great importance to it."

Lin Zuhui added: "Don't say that the show is handpicked by me in the future, otherwise people will really think that I work 24 hours a day! Therefore, only you and I know the outline of the script. As for the source and channel, you can find a way to solve it yourself!"

Selina Chow smiled and said, "Well, that's good!"

This year, Lin Zuhui selected four programs, "The Voice of Hong Kong", "Bao Qingtian", "Who Is a Millionaire", and "Genesis". I believe that this year ATV will gain a lot.

He also planned to learn from the artist trainee training system in the Korean entertainment industry in his previous life in the 90s to form boy groups and girl groups, and he might earn a lot of foreign exchange in the future.

After staying for less than two hours, Lin Zuhui left ATV.He does not participate in the specific operation of ATV, and every time he comes, he just makes a summary, so that his subordinates can use his opinions as key references.

……

In the morning, Lin Zuhui came to Tsuen Wan to inspect the opening of the first 'Yonghui Supermarket'.

Heung Kong's supermarket industry is already very mature, and when Lin Zuhui decided to enter this industry, he visited many Wellcome and ParknShop supermarkets and found an amazing business opportunity, that is, these supermarkets do not pay much attention to "fresh food".

Lin Zuhui immediately began to formulate strategies with his subordinates, and finally Lin Zuhui set the tone, that is, 'Yonghui Supermarket' will use 50% to 70% of the area for fresh products, including the development of cooked food and bread.

That is to say, targeted targets targeting the resident family unit!

Not only that, Lin Zuhui also asked Yonghui Superstores to abandon the strategy of urban development, give priority to the development of residential areas in new towns, and implement the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside.

When he has a certain strength, Lin Zuhui will let Yonghui Supermarket enter the urban area, and then he may not worry about the joint suppression of Wellcome and ParknShop.

Although Tsuen Wan belongs to the New Territories, it is the richest place in the New Territories because it is next to Kowloon.In the early 50s, this place was still a piece of farmland and barrenness. As some capitalists from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai came here to open factories, it developed here.Later, the factory was relocated, and a large number of residential buildings began to appear here, making it the first new town in Hong Kong.

When Lin Zuhui arrived at the Tsuen Wan store of Yonghui Supermarket, Lu Donglai, the person in charge of the comprehensive department, and Chen Jiasheng, a senior employee in charge of retail, were already waiting at the door of the store.
