Hong Kong's new giants

Before deciding to copy "Millionaire", ATV has not sold the copyright to the United States, so the copycat is a copycat; now ATV has not only sold the copyright to the United States, but also said that many countries and regions are negotiating. Lin Zuhui's cake, it's no wonder he didn't work hard.

Although Sixth Uncle Shao is an old Jianghu, he is also afraid of Lin Zuhui, a stunned young man. After all, he is a figure who can fight Li Chaoren evenly.

Fang Yihua said with some reluctance: "We just watched ATV's [-]-[-] split with us. It's really aggrieved. The management doesn't know what to do. They can't compete with other people's programs, and they still want to get high wages!"

Uncle Shao looked at his confidante, and said seriously: "Lin Zuhui is responsible for more than [-]% of ATV's success today. It's useless for you to blame wireless people. Why don't you review it yourself and try to lead everyone to do better? Programs. At present, our TVB ratings are slightly dominant, but we still account for [-]% to [-]% of the TV station’s advertising expenses. ATV can’t always have a good show, I believe that a person’s talent is limited.” Uncle Six brilliantly analyzed.

Fang Yihua understood immediately, and said in agreement: "That's right, I'll make arrangements now!"

After Fang Yihua left, Uncle Shao couldn't help but whispered: "Is there really a limit to talent? This Lin Zuhui seems to have divine help in everything he does, and he is simply an all-rounder. How can he become the top rich man in Xiangjiang in more than five years?" So easy to run out of talent!"

He couldn't help worrying, but he couldn't show it. He was the mastermind of a listed company, so he had to be as stable as Mount Tai.

……

Wednesday, April 12.

On behalf of Wanhui Media, Lin Zuhui signed an equity transfer agreement with two shareholders of Ming Pao Group, Jin Daxia and Shen Baoxin: Wanhui Media will purchase 5% of the shares of Ming Pao Group at a price of 70 million cash; after the transaction is completed, Jin Daxia will hold 25%, Shen Baoxin holds a 5% stake in Ming Pao Group.

After signing the agreement, Jin Yong said with a smile: "It's good to take this money to retire!"

Unlike the previous life, Lin Zuhui paid a lot of cash and didn't play some number games to fool the old man.Because he is not short of money, and there is no need to owe favors to others.

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "You two elders can't put down the burden immediately, I'm not ready yet!"

Shen Baoxing said curiously: "Wanhui Media has a lot of talents, and you are leaders in this industry. Are you still afraid of taking over a Ming Pao Group?"

In this transaction, Shen Baoxing got more than 1 million cash. He is not as rich as Jin Daxia, so he is very happy to get this cash this time.Of course, although Jin Daxia is also rich, his family is very supportive of him selling "Ming Pao" to Lin Zuhui, because it is more than 3 million in cash.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Ming Pao Group still has to maintain a certain independent business nature, so I am very optimistic about the current team. In order not to be taken advantage of by others, I plan to raise the salary of the entire Ming Pao Group by [-]%!"

Jin Daxia immediately praised: "You are a good boss!"

Lin Zuhui really knew a Ming Pao 'traitor', that is Lei Weipo, if nothing else happened, someone is probably planning on him, such as the Ma family.

Therefore, after several people came to the office, Lin Zuhui asked Jin Daxia and Shen Baoxing: "How much does Lei Weipo contribute to the company, for example, how much income can he generate in a year, and what is his salary?"

Shen Baoxing immediately reacted and said, "Are you worried that someone will dig him?"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "Since the release of Zheng Jinghan's "Next Magazine" in July, the sales have been rising steadily. Those who are eyeing that piece of cake include Giordano's Fat Li and the Ma family of Oriental Press. When Ming Pao took over, Lei Weipo from "Ming Pao Weekly" was poached, and Ming Pao Group also lost a general."

Jin Daxia immediately said majesticly: "I will warn him for you, a [-]% salary increase is enough!"

Come to think of it, Lei Weipo has been living under the authority of Jin Daxia, Lin Zuhui guessed.

It's a pity that Lin Zuhui prefers to bind people with interests, and "Ming Pao Weekly" has to continue to run, and it is still a gentle gossip weekly.

Lin Zuhui shook his head and said: "Let's tie it up with benefits. I plan to change the contract with him, and the minimum salary will be increased!"

Jin Daxia naturally wouldn't stop him, and Shen Baoxing said: "Ming Pao Weekly spends hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising a year, and its net profit is about 2500 million. Lei Weipo's team has more than 30 people, and it's not all due to him, but if he leaves , will definitely take away many people.”

Lin Zuhui said: "Well, I'll ask Long Jingchang to renegotiate the contract with him later!"

Jin Daxia and Shen Baoxing will continue to work in Ming Pao, and the specific retirement time is about one or two years.

Lin Zuhui will list Ming Pao Group in June and July this year, attracting a large amount of capital.Ming Pao Group does not need to invest much, and it will be used for dividends in the coming year. Wanhui Media will strive to earn back the money from the acquisition of Ming Pao Group within five years.

He doesn't care about money. The biggest use of these media and communication industries is not to make money, but to enhance Lin Zuhui's social status and power.

In the previous life, Zhang Ziqiang dared to kidnap Li Zeju and Guo Bingxiang, but in this life, Zhang Ziqiang never dared to touch Lin Zuhui's family.

The reason is actually very simple. The reason why Zhang Ziqiang was unscrupulous was that at that time, no matter whether it was the citizens, the media, or the judges, they all hated those rich people; so when Zhang Ziqiang was imprisoned, a group of reporters followed his wife and put pressure on the police station. The judge's partiality, this is why Zhang Ziqiang is lawless in Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui is different in this life. Let alone reshaping his image in the 90s, even his influence in the media and communication has to be weighed by the kidnappers.What's more, everyone in Hong Kong knows that Lin Zuhui has a security company that cooperates with mercenaries.

……

Wanhui Media's [-] million acquisition of [-]% of Ming Pao Group's shares still caused a lot of discussion in Xiangjiang.

The current sales volume of "Daily Daily" has reached 40, ranking first in Xiangjiang;

"Ming Pao" has a sales volume of 12 and is the most influential Chinese newspaper in Xiangjiang;

"Economic Daily" has a sales volume of 8, and is the second largest financial professional newspaper in Hong Kong with full influence;

"Fm Gang", "GOOD", "Ming Pao Weekly" and so on are all magazine hegemons in a field;

Even the newly rising Baile Group (Next Magazine) has the shadow of Wanhui Media behind it.

Although Wanhui Media is a listed public company, this company was founded by Lin Zuhui alone, so its influence goes without saying.Therefore, the citizens of Xiangjiang all compare Lin Zuhui to Murdoch of Xiangjiang!

……

Sing Tao Press.

Hu Xian watched the news about Lin Zuhui's scenery and felt very bitter, because she was in big trouble.In the late 80s, Hu Xian participated in nearly 20 property investments in Hong Kong, the United States, Australia, Canada and other places in his own name and in the name of Sing Tao Group.

But man’s calculation is not as good as heaven’s calculation. In the late 80s, overseas properties took a sharp turn for the worse, and property prices continued to decline.Not only could Hu Xian fail to sell it for profit, but he had to bear the heavy interest debt of borrowing.

Nowadays, it is rumored that her debt is as high as more than one billion yuan, which is a fact!

Hu Xian is now worried that Lin Zuhui will not play cards according to common sense, and will cause a bloodbath in the newspaper industry, causing the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" to decline.At that time, she might not even be able to pay back the interest.

"It's also property speculation. Why is Lin Zuhui making a lot of money while I'm out of luck?"

"And that Zheng Jinghan is simply a traitor!"

For a while, Hu Xian complained.

……

Baile Group.

Zheng Jinghan has been very successful in the past six months. The sales volume of "Next Magazine" has increased from 600 to 200, becoming a very popular magazine. The monthly advertising fee is [-] million yuan, and the net profit is [-] million yuan.

"Boss, President Long is here!" The secretary walked into the office and said.

Zheng Jinghan hurriedly stood up to greet him, but he knew that the Baile Group's success today was due to Wanhui Media's lack of money and reputation.

"Boss Zheng, congratulations, "Next Magazine" has achieved another great result!"

"President Long, let's be happy together, your group will acquire Ming Pao!"

After being polite, Long Jingchang got down to business: "Fat Li's "Apple Weekly" will be published next year, has Boss Zheng thought of a countermeasure?"

Zheng Jinghan said: "Our "Next Magazine" has already occupied the market. As long as the operation is stable, "Apple Weekly" is not a concern. What's more, I think this market is saturated, and it may not be feasible for "Apple Weekly" to squeeze in."

Long Jingchang immediately despised Zheng Jinghan in his heart, no wonder he was the boss's first defeat back then.

"Boss Zheng, how can you say that? Fat Li has richer financial resources than you. He is now making a lot of advertising, and "Next Magazine" will definitely be affected next year!"

"This... President Long thinks how to deal with it?"

Long Jingchang immediately said: "It's very simple! To advertise and reduce prices in disguise, at least give them a blow when "Apple Weekly" is launched!"

Zheng Jinghan nodded quickly and said: "President Long is right, let's discuss the details!"

Lin Zuhui didn't need to be ostentatious when he hit the fat man. Even if he moved his mouth, he could deal a heavy blow to the fat man.At this time, Giordano's value was 8 million, which depreciated again, only half of his previous life; but now that the fat man wants to be a media, he is bound to be suppressed by all parties; as long as he can't buy the advertisements of ATV and Wanhui Media.

Chapter 3 Thirty [Debt Reduction]

Saturday, October 12.

The Big D Club (also known as 'Carrie Lam Group' by the media) held a gathering at the Clear Water Bay Golf and Country Club. The members included Lin Zuhui, Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, Poon Dickson, and Fang Jin. Today Lin Zuhui brought Zhou Xingchi again.

Bringing Zhou Xingchi was just a random act, and it wasn't true that he was qualified to join in, at least not right now.

Among them, although Pan Disheng has a close relationship with the Zheng family, he has gotten closer to Lin Zuhui in recent years; and Fang Jin is Lin Zuhui's younger brother, and Zheng Yutong naturally wouldn't say anything when he brought him in.

And Zhou Xingchi has already been promoted to "star master" in the past two years, and has shot ten movies for DreamWorks, with a total box office of more than 3 million; The advertising fee only earned 1500 million net worth.

However, Lin Zuhui recently introduced him to Fang Jin and asked him to buy some houses and wait for the value to rise, which is considered to be a compliment to him.

There are still two years left in Zhou Xingchi's contract with DreamWorks, but if he single-mindedly wants to change jobs, someone will pay the 1000 million liquidated damages for him; therefore, his salary has been raised twice this year, and it is currently around 200 million per movie.

Everyone first drank and chatted in a large private room in the clubhouse. Basically, every meeting was chatting, hoeing, and playing golf.

Lin Zuhui was leaning on the sofa, crossing his legs, holding a red wine glass in his hand, and a group of younger brothers waiting beside him, it was still very comfortable.It's not that the little brother is waiting for people to be comfortable, but that the famous little brother is waiting for people to be quite comfortable.

Pan Dickson with his left hand, Fang Jin with his right hand, and Zhou Xingchi sitting beside him;

Zheng Yutong has Liu Luanxiong on one side and Yang Shoucheng on the other.

Zheng Yutong said first: "Today, Ah Hui, you have to accompany us to get rid of the big D. Every time you say that you want to go back to accompany your girlfriend, why not give yourself a holiday? Haha!" But he started joking.

Lin Zuhui immediately said bluntly: "If you hoe from afternoon to night, I really have to ask you for leave, let Fang Jin play with you!"

Zheng Yutong looked at Fang Jin and asked, "Millions of poker games, no problem?"

Fang Jin said with a smile: "No problem, Uncle Tong, what time do you say the call will be!"

Everyone was a little curious. People with a net worth of over [-] million may not be able to play this game, at least they must have a net worth of hundreds of millions.Could it be that Fang Jin's net worth skyrocketed again following Lin Zuhui?

Only Lin Zuhui knew that Fang Jin's net worth was more than 2 million now, and this was not counted as the real estate bargain hunting this time; although Lin Zuhui didn't say anything clearly, Fang Jin also understood through the timing of Li Zhi and the others' real estate speculation.What's more, Lin Zuhui asked him to buy a house with Zhou Xingchi.

Of course, people like Fang Jin, Zhou Xingchi and others dare not invest too much in real estate speculation. If it really plummets, they will go bankrupt.

At this time, Yang Shoucheng asked Lin Zuhui modestly: "Zu Hui, I want to go public through a backdoor recently, what do you think is the timing?"

In fact, we seldom talk about business together, but it is inevitable to talk about business.

Yang Shou thought about Lin Zuhui's strength in the financial field, so he couldn't help asking.

Lin Zuhui said: "You have all the answers, so naturally you have to do it, and the market is still okay now!"

Yang Shoucheng nodded. He has indeed decided to go public through a backdoor. He also understands finance. After all, he has a large number of foreign exchange brokers.

When Fang Jin heard Yang Shoucheng say this, he was also very moved, and quickly said, "I'm also going to go public through a backdoor soon!"

Fang Jin owns a construction company and an intermediary company. Usually, his main business is to buy old stores and buildings, renovate them, and sell them piecemeal.

Lin Zuhui suddenly remembered that he still had a "China Entertainment" shell that he didn't need.Because ATV's listing does not require a backdoor listing, and it meets any conditions for listing, a backdoor listing will be more complicated.

"Did you find the shell?"

"Not yet. I also heard about the backdoor listing from Brother Yang, so I just thought of it!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "I happen to have an empty shell, you can take it later!"

Fang Jin immediately knew that it was the shell of China Entertainment Company, and it was a good shell, so he nodded quickly.

Since China Entertainment became a shell company, it has not stopped developing, but has been speculating in properties and stocks. Its current net assets are around 8000 million, and Lin Zuhui holds 49% of the shares.If Fang Jin needs it, he will sell it for exactly 5000 million yuan.

After chatting for a while, everyone started to form a team to play golf.

During the period, Lin Zuhui called Zhou Xingchi and said, "How much property did you buy?"

Zhou Xingchi was no longer as shy as before, and said with a smile: "The property worth 5000 million was bought with a down payment of 3%!"

Lin Zuhui was taken aback, and immediately said: "It seems that you are quite courageous, and you are not afraid of me shaking you!"

Zhou Xingchi said confidently: "Boss, tell me what I do. Besides, all Hong Kong citizens know that after this year's sharp drop, boss, you speculate on real estate projects worth tens of billions!"

Lin Zuhui patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then walked towards the golf course.

Of course Zhou Xingchi knew that the boss was trying to remind him. Of course, he also knew that he was valued by the company because of his value.In fact, he also thought about paying off the breach of contract fee and leaving DreamWorks.

However, he felt that he could not afford to offend his boss, who was the overlord of television, newspapers, and magazines.

Fortunately, the salary has risen to 200 million, which is not unacceptable!Especially recently, the boss introduced Fang Jin to himself. Zhou Xingchi knew that he was well-off, and he had always wanted to buy a property. However, before the plunge, he bought two thousand-foot mansions, both of which were up to the ceiling.After the plunge, he worried that house prices would continue to fall.

It wasn't until November, when the boss introduced Fang Jin to him, that he felt that he had found an organization.

Everyone played from morning to afternoon. When Lin Zuhui left, Zheng Yutong, Da Liu, Yang Shoucheng, and Fang Jin organized a poker game again. It seemed that they would fight until late at night, or even all night.

The reason why Lin Zuhui doesn't need to socialize at night is because he now has four sons and two daughters. Cai Ning gave birth to a daughter in October this year, and Qiu Shuzhen gave birth to a son in November.

It fully proved a problem, male and female births are all dominated by men. You must know that Qiu Shuzhen had three daughters in her previous life, but she did not give birth to a son.This also made Lin Zuhui feel relieved. Qiu, Li, and Lin were all daughters in their previous lives.

……

On Monday, Lin Zuhui called Gao Yi and Liang Zhenxun to his office.

"Let's arrange to sell Wanguobaotong Center and Central Plaza, each with 15% equity, at a total price of 30 billion to Hengjin Real Estate, my personal real estate company. Then, New Era Group will repay the 120 billion loan and reduce the debt. Hold to [-] billion."

Gao Yi nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it!"

He originally wanted to buy the Causeway Bay World Trade Center directly, but he felt that that would expose the strength of Hengjin Real Estate.After buying [-]% ​​of the interests in Central Plaza and Citicorp Center, Hengjin Real Estate will hold [-]% of the interests in these two projects (three buildings).

The management is still Huaren Real Estate, and Hengjin Real Estate only needs to enjoy the dividends every year. In this way, everyone knows that these two projects are properties of Huaren Real Estate, and they will not think that they are properties of Hengjin Real Estate.

Liang Zhenxun said: "After such an operation, New Times Group not only reduced its debt holdings to 120 billion, but also has nearly 10 billion in cash and more than 5 million in foreign exchange investment, which is enough to deal with the bidding for the Kwai Chung No. [-] container terminal next month. .”

1988年，李超人以45亿的标价拿下7号货柜码头；而如今的8号货柜码头和7号货柜码头都是四个泊位，但面积稍微小点。再加上如今市道不好，所以此次中标价应该在50亿左右。

In fact, if the bid is won, the New Era Group will only have one-eighth of the equity, that is, Sea-Land Containers will account for one-fourth of the shares.
