Hong Kong's new giants

A new week begins.

Monday, May 6.

The top two floors of office buildings in Block B of Huazhi Center have now become the headquarters of the "Lin Zuhui Family Office".

Lin Zuhui came to inspect the family office. There are already many employees here. They are all administrative and senior staff recruited locally by Xiangjiang; all the senior staff recruited overseas have also arrived at the Hong Kong headquarters.

After a while, Home Office CEO Rob Featherston Howe called everyone into a large conference room, with about 40 to [-] people gathered together.

Lin Zuhui sat in the main seat, the senior staff sat on the first floor, and the administrative staff sat on the periphery.

"Today is June 6, and I am here to officially announce that the Lin Family Office is officially established!" Lin Zuhui said in English.English is one of the official languages ​​of Xiangjiang, so everyone here is very proficient, even the administrative staff are talents with a salary of more than 18.

Everyone immediately burst into applause, and they all had an honored expression, probably feeling that it was an honor to serve such a rich man as Lin Zuhui.This job is much better than outside jobs, and the level of contact is different.

Lin Zuhui continued: "Do you know what is the most important thing when working in my home? Tell me!" He casually pointed to an administrative staff.

"It's confidential!"

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "That's right, it's confidentiality! You will all be close to the Lin family, which means that you have interfered with our family's privacy, so you must keep it confidential. You will all sign the confidentiality agreement later, I hope you understand one thing , A decent salary with a high salary also requires a lot of hard work.”

"Yes, boss!"

"YES, BOSS!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then he handed over the meeting to Rob. He is the CEO of the family office. He is more professional than Lin Zuhui in what to do next. He also needs to fully trust Rob, otherwise he will be very tired.

The Family Office has a well-established system and organization, with legal, accounting, and auditing talents, and it is by no means a CEO who can cover the sky with one hand.

And Lin Zuhui also listened to Rob's arrangement seriously, and nodded secretly in his heart, the money was not wasted.

As far as the current work is concerned, it can be roughly divided into recruitment, preparation of overseas headquarters and branches, etc., especially overseas headquarters and branches, which Lin Zuhui attaches great importance to.

He is not worried about the high expenses of the family office. At least for the next 30 years, he does not need to worry about the expenses of the family office because he can earn money.

Some of the senior staff and talents of Hengjin Investment have also begun to slowly merge into the family office.Of course, Hengjin Investment will still be his family investment company, after all, the family office is too conspicuous.

After this meeting, the Lin Family Office was finally formally established and started to operate.

But to be perfected and put into use in the true sense, I am afraid that it will be the end of the year.

in the afternoon.

Lin Zuhui came to Hengjin Investment.

I approached Li Hao to inquire about the market of crude oil futures, but it made Lin Zuhui feel a little chilled. At present, crude oil futures are only 15 US dollars per barrel, and they were still 22 US dollars per barrel at the beginning of the year.

Fortunately, I didn't buy in advance, otherwise I would have been liquidated several times.

Moreover, if you buy crude oil futures at US$15 per barrel, as long as it falls below US$14 per barrel, it is easy to liquidate your position.

Lin Zuhui thought about whether to wait until July to buy, or to buy immediately.

Soon, Lin Zuhui said resolutely: "Let Hengjin Investment buy 15 million Hong Kong dollars of crude oil futures at around 3 US dollars per barrel, but remember to be cautious! If it continues to fall, remember to increase the margin, and don't let him liquidate. After buying After that, remember to tell me so that I can continue to arrange additional investment.”

Li Hao nodded quickly and went to make arrangements!

Hengjin Investment will buy crude oil futures in London, New York, and Hong Kong respectively. The 3 million Hong Kong dollars or 30 billion contracts will not alarm Wall Street.

Lin Zuhui believes that it is unlikely to fall below $14 per barrel, so he plans to open a position at $15 per barrel.

To be honest, crude oil futures are much more risky than foreign exchange. At the beginning of the year, it was 22 US dollars per barrel, but now it has dropped to 15 US dollars per barrel.According to the 10 times leverage calculation of crude oil futures, I don't know how many people's positions will be exploded.

Oil plummeted!

As for the reason, isn’t it that Kuwait is desperate to increase production and drive down the price of crude oil.

Iraq's debts this year have reached 140 billion U.S. dollars, all relying on oil to save lives. If Kuwait does this, then Iraq's oil will not be able to sell at a high price, and it will naturally kill Kuwait.

Of course, both sides will die.

Kuwait died, and the royal family died several times; Iraq died, and was severely taught by the United States.

The greater the risk, the higher the profit!

If the average opening price of Hengjin Investment is 16 US dollars per barrel, and it starts to close when it rises to 32 US dollars per barrel (actually rises to 41 US dollars per barrel), based on 10 times leverage calculation, it can almost make a [-] times profit.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui only plans to buy 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in crude oil futures in batches, and then use 20 billion to ensure that he will not be liquidated.If he earns 100 billion, he will stop, so as not to be targeted.

After arranging the crude oil speculation, Lin Zuhui also breathed a sigh of relief, investing in these high-risk financial products, sometimes knowing the general trend is not safe.

Fortunately, he has already gotten rid of the gambler's investment!

No matter what kind of financial investment it is, even if he loses money, Lin Zuhui will not hurt his muscles and bones, nor will he make a desperate bet again.

At the beginning of this month, Lin Zuhui had arranged for Li Hao to gradually liquidate his investment in Xiangjiang blue chip stocks. It will be cleared in two months, and it is expected that 50 billion funds can be withdrawn.

In addition, Lin Zuhui sold a 25% stake in Modern Containers to Wharf Group last week at a price of 35 billion, making a profit of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.After Modern Containers won the bid for the No. [-] Kwai Chung container, it did not allow shareholders to inject capital, but had part of the cash in its account plus a loan.

As for shorting the Nikkei, it rebounded nearly 3000 points (32500 points) in May, allowing profit-taking.But Lin Zuhui is not in a hurry. He remembers that the lowest point is 20000 points. It is estimated that "Iraq invaded Kuwait" in August will start to plummet again immediately.

Although financial investment makes money, it still depends on the industry to be at ease, Lin Zuhui thought in his heart.

Of course, when investing in U.S. stocks and Hong Kong stocks, as long as you don’t invest with leverage, he is also very at ease. After all, there is no such thing as liquidation.

After the crude oil futures investment ends, Lin Zuhui may not make leveraged investment in financial products in the future.

After all, he has plenty of cash flow, so why take any chances!

Investing in Hong Kong stocks and U.S. stocks, of course, will invest, but there is no leveraged investment, and they all buy high-quality stocks that they are familiar with, so they will not lose money anyway.

Moreover, after the 200 billion cash in his hand is spent (approximate funds after all risky financial products are withdrawn), his company and investment in real estate in Hong Kong will generate a large amount of dividends every year, and there is no need to take risks.

Chapter 358 [Hong Kong Stream Culture Prospers Hong Kong]

Tuesday, July 6.

The listing of ATV officially launched the "subscription registration", which was warmly welcomed by investors for a while.

After Lin Zuhui took over (February 1988), ATV's ratings went straight to the market, and now it has surpassed TVB.

Only Lin Zuhui knows that ATV cannot relax its vigilance!

After all, TVB is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has dominated Hong Kong TV for 22 years.

At present, ATV's artist training class is also very impressive, ATV has a lot of talents, and there are many good shows. Maybe even without Lin Zuhui's participation, it can remain unbeaten for five to ten years.

However, he is of course not reconciled to just surpass TVB, he wants to build a TV station with the most influence among Chinese;

At the same time, he will also inject new impetus into Hong Kong's economy.

On the same day, Lin Zuhui accepted a joint interview with his own newspaper "Economic Daily" and ATV in the ATV office.

The reporter who interviewed was a middle-aged man with rich experience, but it could still be seen that he was a little nervous under Lin Zuhui's power.

"Have a sip of tea!"

Lin Zuhui was not in a hurry to accept the interview, but invited the reporter to drink tea.

"thank you boss!"

"You can't call me boss later!"

"Okay, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then chatted with today's staff. Soon everyone felt that Lin Zuhui was very friendly and good at talking.

Among rich people at Lin Zuhui's level, Li Chaoren is recognized as the most talkative, and Chen Zengxi (deceased) and Guo Desheng are the least talkative. The latter two rarely accept interviews.

The interview officially begins.

Reporter: "Thank you Mr. Lin for accepting our interview!"

Lin Zuhui: "I should thank you media workers for adding richness and knowledge to citizens' lives."

……

Reporter: "The listing of ATV, let us see a different ATV, which is so popular with investors. As far as we know, ATV has only been in your hands for a little over two years, and it has achieved very good results .”

Lin Zuhui: "ATV is not good enough, at least I am still not satisfied."

Reporter: "No way! ATV is really great now, and my family and I like to watch it very much!"

Lin Zuhui: "Thank you. The audience likes to watch ATV, which shows that they recognize it. But as managers, we must not be satisfied with the status quo, and we must bring better programs to the audience."

Reporter: "So, Mr. Lin, can you tell us how far ATV should grow in your mind?"

At this time, the reporters and staff all looked at Lin Zuhui attentively. Now that they have surpassed Wireless, they are still not satisfied. Could it be that they want to suppress Wireless?Just like the TVB TV station used to overwhelm Asia TV?

So curious!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's a long story, so let me start from the beginning. Everyone knows that Hong Kong's economy this year is not very good. It is mainly affected by entrepot trade and other aspects. I was thinking : Hong Kong’s economy is still too simple, and it is greatly affected by the external environment. Just this year, a friend discussed with me the issue of “Hong Kong’s culture revitalizes Hong Kong”, and I think it may be a very good attempt!”

All the staff were stunned. Is this the idea of ​​the superior?

A normal interview has already involved the entire Xiangjiang economy.

Yes, Lin Zuhui intends to put forward the plan of "rejuvenating Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture" at this time, so there is no problem in his capacity; the important thing is that no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will win the goodwill of the citizens.

The reporter said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, can you tell us more specifically what is meant by 'Hong Kong's culture revitalizes Hong Kong'?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said:

"Hong Kong Stream is Hong Kong genre; culture is Hong Kong entertainment culture; revitalizing Hong Kong is to call on our government to support Hong Kong entertainment culture to go out!"

"The 'Four Heavenly Kings' some time ago were our 'Hong Kong Stream Culture', and the 'Hong Kong Movies' of the 80s were also our 'Hong Kong Stream Culture'. Hong Kong has a mature packaging mechanism, a unique way of making stars, and a well-developed Entertainment media can make the whole of Asia and even the whole world accept our entertainment culture."

"You may think that I am whimsical. In fact, I will give you an example. You will not think so. The copyright of "Millionaire" has been purchased by TV stations in the United States and Britain, and the price has been sold for 1500 million US dollars. For this price, I am Very dissatisfied, I can boldly predict that ABC bought our copyright for 800 million, and "Millionaire" can bring them a profit of 8 million US dollars. Of course, these are none of our business."

"What I mean is, as long as your program is good enough, the United States and Britain have to come and buy your copyright! Similarly, if your idol is good enough, his concerts can be held anywhere in Asia."

Reporter: "So, after ATV's listing, will it take the lead in creating the goal of 'prospering Hong Kong with culture and culture'?"

Lin Zuhui: "Of course, ATV will produce better programs, make better dramas, and create better idols. We will wait and see!"

Reporter: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin, for bringing such wonderful expectations to our lives!"

The next day.

Lin Zuhui's interview caused a huge discussion in Xiangjiang.Some people say that he is whimsical, and he is proud of some achievements; but more people really think that "Hong Kong culture revitalizes Hong Kong" is very good, and Hong Kong's entertainment industry is already developed.

Of course, the people in the most enthusiastic mood were the people in front of and behind the scenes in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle. Everyone felt that Lin Zuhui was the godfather who was driving the entire Xiangjiang entertainment circle forward.

On the same day, in order to cooperate with Lin Zuhui's interview, the Hong Kong Film Awards officially registered as "Hong Kong Film Awards Association Co., Ltd.", as a non-profit organization, relying on annual TV and radio broadcast copyright fees and overseas distribution income to maintain daily basic expenses .

The source of the first start-up capital is the proceeds from the preparation of a film, which brings together many famous actors and directors in Xiangjiang.

Of course, all of this was promoted by Pan Cheng. Whether it was the Hong Kong Film Screenwriters Association or the more formalization of the Hong Kong Film Awards, it was Lin Zuhui's instruction, and Pan Cheng organized it.

With Dreamworks' status in Xiangjiang, coupled with sponsorship, it was naturally achieved quickly, which is itself a good thing for the industry.

With the rise of "Rejuvenating Hong Kong with Hong Kong Stream Culture" in the Hong Kong performing arts circle, big names in the circle have organized several large-scale discussion meetings to jointly promote the "Rejuvenate Hong Kong with Hong Kong Stream Culture" program.During the period, ATV representative Zhou Liang Shuyi, DreamWorks representative Pan Cheng, and the two also represented Lin Zuhui took the initiative to speak freely in many places and waved the flag for their boss.

Of course, this is something for later, let’s not show it for now!

For Lin Zuhui, he is just the one who proposes slogans, and he will also communicate at the level of the Hong Kong government to get the support of the Hong Kong government.In addition, through ATV, he will first annex DreamWorks, integrate the resources he controls, and move closer to his desired goal.

To put it bluntly, whether he has the support of the government or other colleagues can't stop his enterprising spirit.He has this strength, and he also has this resource in his mind, no matter how bad he is, he can make half of the success of "Prospering Hong Kong with Hong Kong Stream Culture".

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, Lin Zuhui intends to slowly advance.As long as he is in YG Entertainment, Lin Zuhui has already influenced everything from makeup, clothing, dancing, music, etc.

……

wireless television.

Shao Liushu was in the office, saw the news of the day 'Hong Kong's culture flourishes', and immediately said: "I'm old, I'm old!"

At this time, Uncle Shao had only admiration for Lin Zuhui, he didn't think Lin Zuhui was talking big.Most people don't think that such a successful person can talk big.

Lin Zuhui's success is not the success of a company, but the success that has never failed.From the media, communication, to real estate integration, clothing manufacturing and other industries, if you are not a genius, you can't justify it.

On the contrary, Fang Yat-wah came to the office and began to complain: "This Lin Zuhui is talking about running the train, he is so high-profile, it is nothing more than to increase the attention of ATV!"

Shao Sixth Uncle said dissatisfiedly: "If you think like this, then Wireless will only fall further and further behind others."

Suddenly, Fang Yihua looked at Shao Liushu in surprise.

Uncle Shao Liu continued: "Other people's success lies in that. What you have to do now is to inquire about the ways of 'prospering Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture', learn more, and make progress together. The more competitive the two of us are, the more we must Learn from others' strengths."

Fang Yihua was naturally obedient to Sixth Uncle Shao, and immediately said: "Okay, I will pay attention to this matter!"

Uncle Shao Liu also said: "The only way we can beat ATV right now is to learn from ATV by holding a TVB management meeting. The main thing is to pay special attention to program production. Selling two copyrights is worth half a year's income. Great money."

……

The influence of Lin Zuhui's interview goes far beyond the entertainment circle. As soon as his speech was published, the investors who went to register for ATV's subscription shares skyrocketed.In just three days of registration time, it has exceeded 10 times the number of new shares.
