Hong Kong's new giants

"How's the shorting of USD/JPY going?"

Yes, Lin Zuhui sold his highly leveraged foreign exchange again because he was short of money.The development bank required a lot of investment in the initial stage, and he had to dig out his memory to invest and obtain high returns.

Investing in the S&P 500 has a steady profit of more than 30 billion. Even so, the cash flow of Hengjin Investment is only more than 80 billion.

This made him not feel safe enough to invest in the bank!

His investment bank is not starting small, but intends to become one of the top five large banks in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, so the capital needed may be huge.

Therefore, the stock gods shot again!

Since March, he has paid attention to the price of USD/JPY, and found that when it rose from the lowest point of 2 in February to 127 points, he decisively let Hengjin Investment start short selling 135 billion USD/JPY in batches at 137 points. Yen (200 billion deposit).

This time, he adopted a leverage of 20 times and a principal of 10 billion; in addition, he also prepared a fund of 30 billion to replenish the margin at any time to avoid being liquidated.

In fact, this kind of gameplay is similar to the 100 times leverage of later generations.Assuming only a minimum leverage of 2 times, Lin Zuhui's investment method is to take out [-] million for short selling, and then increase the margin at any time.

But now is not the era of Internet trading. If you really need 100 times leverage, no one dares to invest. Before the phone call is over, it is estimated that the position may be liquidated.

As for why Lin Zuhui chose to short sell USD/JPY, it is not entirely based on analysis, but memory occupies a large part; because he knows that USD/JPY will drop to around 1992 points in 120 almost from now , Around 1993 points in 100, and around 1995 points in 80.

Anyway, the general trend is all the way down, so he has no reason to 'buy', but chooses to 'short'.

In addition, short selling above 137 points is relatively safe. If it rises to 143 points, he will immediately call for margin, and so on, his 40 billion funds can almost support 166 points.

This is not over yet, if it can really rise to 166 points, Lin Zuhui will mobilize a large amount of funds and continue to sell short, and he will earn more.

Obviously, it is impossible to rise to 166 points, which is not in line with the general trend!

George nodded and said, "Well, New York, London, and Xiangjiang are all short selling in batches. According to the current situation, almost every day is a short selling point, and it is expected to be completed this month."

Lin Zuhui emphasized: "We can only short sell above 137, even if it is 136.9 points, we will not short sell! Even if there is no opportunity to sell short, we must adhere to the pre-investment strategy and cannot make any changes. Because investing such risks Project, mentality is the most important.”

Compared with investment professional, Lin Zuhui is definitely not as good as George and Bruce, but compared to mood, Lin Zuhui has already been as stable as Mount Tai, and almost no one can be more stable than him!

The first is that he knows some general trends, and the second is that his wealth is huge, less than 100 billion, and he will not blink when he loses.

"Okay, we've been sticking to your style!"

Then, Lin Zuhui communicated with Bruce again, and the 200 billion of the family office has basically been invested.But the investment department of the family office is not only responsible for the affairs of the family office, they have to be responsible for all the affairs of Lin Zuhui.

"Pay attention to the stock situation of Oracle and Citibank for me, and communicate with me at any time." At the end, Lin Zuhui told Bruce.

Bruce asked: "The boss wants to buy the bottom? These two companies have been in trouble for the past two years, especially Oracle's market value has plummeted by 80%."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Remember, the 90s was dominated by the Internet and information technology, and almost any investment related to it would make a lot of money. The four emerging retailers Home Depot, Best Buy, and electronic technology companies Dell Computer and Intel The company is the stock that our family invests in this time, and it is actually related to the Internet and information technology... So, you can also pay attention to similar software stocks, and you can invest in them."

As expected of a stock god, Buffett is not so convincing, Bruce and George thought so.

"Okay, we will pay attention to the investment in this area!" said in unison.

Although there is a new direction of investment, the Family Office and Hengjin Investment currently have no funds.

However, after the delivery of the S&P 4 index futures in April, some of the approximately 500 billion funds withdrawn can be used to allow Hengjin Investment to invest in US stocks with software, information technology, and Internet themes.

As for the bargain-hunting of European and American office buildings, Lin Zuhui has decided to ask New Era Group to spend 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds to complete it in the form of loans (5 times leverage).

This round of European and American real estate declines actually started to rise again in 1993.So Lin Zuhui planned to invest in European and American commercial real estate in 1992.

……

On Thursday, the downstairs of Huazhi Center began to line up again. These people came to buy houses, and the sales period of "Sceneway Garden" was Friday.In order to ensure that there are no accidents, JC can only be asked to maintain order 24 hours a day.

On the next day, 750 of the 735 residential units in Sceneway Gardens were sold that day, and they were basically sold out on the first day.

For this situation, Lin Zuhui had expected it a long time ago, and he also knew that the growth rate of Xiangjiang Properties this year should be more than 5%.In other words, taking the island as an example, the average selling price this year will be around 2800 to 3000 yuan, excluding large housing estates and luxury properties.

crazy!

So much so that when the Lin family was having dinner, the girls were chattering about real estate, and nothing could stop them.

……

On Saturday morning, Lin Zuhui called ATV executives and senior staff from the program production department for a meeting.

"How is the performance of "The Voice of China"?"

Hearing Lin Zuhui's question, Selina Chow reported immediately: ""The Voice of China" received a total of 6000 million advertising fees, and the net profit is expected to reach 2000 million; Sixty percent of the share has completely suppressed TVB; Asia Satellite TV currently has 1500 million viewers, nearly double the number of viewers when it first aired..."

Great job!

Low profits are normal because costs are simply too high.

The most critical thing is that sea drives the increase in the number of viewers of Satellite TV, which is the biggest investment in the long-term advertising revenue of Satellite TV.

Lin Zuhui remembers that in his previous life Li Cucumber's six satellite TV channels had 4500 million viewers after two years of broadcasting.According to the current situation, Asia Satellite TV may also reach more than 4000 million viewers.

Because compared with Li Cucumber's satellite TV station, Asia Satellite TV has more advantages in programming.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "The Voice of Chinese is the originator of the talent show, but it is obviously not enough for us to dominate the world in variety shows. Next, you will prepare another show called "Pop Idol."

"The idea of ​​the show is: this show is designed for kids who want to be pop stars, and it's about selecting a superstar and pop icon among 20-year-old Chinese kids all over Asia. It kills three birds with one stone, is It is a shortcut for these young people to make their dreams come true, it is a way for record companies and managers to discover new singers, and it is also a "reality TV" for several months to attract viewers."

"The method of the program is: 4 judges in each group will go to Asian Chinese gathering places to select talents! First register and sign up, and then select 100 people from tens of thousands of people. Then, select from these 100 people 50, and finally reduced to 10 candidates, at this time, the judges already have a bottom line in their hearts, although there can only be one winner in the end, standing in front of them is not just a future star."

After Lin Zuhui finished speaking, not everyone had a good eye. Some high-level executives questioned: "Boss, will there be some overlap between this program and "The Voice of China"?"

Lin Zuhui was not disgusted, but explained: "There must be repetitions in the talent show, but there must be many differences, that is, the model and the target audience. The target of "Pop Idol" is from 16 to 24 years old, and the singing voice is very important. , but looks also have a certain importance. Pop idols, also known as super idols, are our ambitions to create a new super idol!"

Selina Chow immediately echoed: "This program is very creative, and the important thing is that it is very suitable for the copyright requirements of European and American TV stations. If we manage it well, one copyright can be sold for tens of millions of dollars."

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's right, at least 2000 million US dollars a copyright, we sold it too cheap last time. Look how much money ABC in the United States is making with "Millionaire"!"

Everyone nodded!

Then, Lin Zuhui discussed the details of the design for everyone. For example, in the audition, each contestant only has 1 minute, which is more efficient.Because as long as you sing well, even if you don't perform well, you can still pass the audition.

Secondly, special events in cities such as San Francisco, Vancouver, and London can be added, and advertisements can be made in local Chinese newspapers.

The cost may be much higher, and a program that could have earned 5000 million yuan may end up being a tie.But Lin Zuhui was originally interested in the copyright income and the increase in the number of viewers of satellite TV, so the program itself was losing money, so he had to do it.

After the meeting, Lin Zuhui showed a smile. There are too many programs that can be copied from the previous life.In addition to talent show accidents, it is also possible to plagiarize the 'Wilderness Survival' program.

Lin Zuhui remembered that there was a similar program around 2000 in his previous life.So, in the last few years it will be done.

Today, the success of Asia Satellite TV has immediately made the audience of Asia TV not limited to Hong Kong, but to the whole of Asia.Therefore, many advertisers are no longer from Xiangjiang, but from the whole of Asia.

The market is huge, so there is no pressure to produce these programs.

Chapter 394 [Anonymous Report]

News Building.

Lin Zuhui approached Long Jingchang, the president of Wanhui Media alone, and planned to arrange a secret matter.

"Do you know the International Commercial Credit Bank?"

After thinking for a while, Long Jingchang asked, "The boss is referring to the parent company of Hong Kong China Commercial Bank?"

Lin Zuhui nodded!

Long Jingchang immediately said: "I know something, it seems that the headquarters is in London, the scale is very large, and there are branches in dozens of countries around the world."

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "I want you to arrange for me a foreign reporter in London to anonymously report the China Commercial Bank to the Bank of England. This matter must be kept absolutely confidential, otherwise it may cause fire, because the China Commercial Bank is behind this The poisonous vegetable government, drug lords and other forces of the Three Worlds."

Long Jingchang was very surprised in his heart. Why did the boss care about these things, but he continued to ask: "Then what's wrong with reporting to China Commercial Bank?"

Lin Zuhui said: "We are reporting anonymously, and naturally we don't need evidence. We only need the Bank of England to send an accountant to check and find out whether there is any problem with the bank. As for the content of the report, it is: China Commercial Bank suffered serious losses last year, They covered it up; in addition to this, this bank also has illegal activities such as money laundering, sending funds for terrorists and poisonous governments. In short, this bank has already encountered serious financial problems!"

Long Jingchang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the Bank of England will probably take it seriously after receiving the report. After all, the banks there are filled with British money."

This is for sure, regardless of whether there is evidence in the report, China Commercial Bank is a bank with a criminal record.In this "biggest financial scandal" in the world, it is worth mentioning that China Merchants Group intends to enter Singapore for five times, but the supervisory authorities have rejected the relevant applications, believing that its style of work is not stable.

Lin Zuhui continued: "I don't want to mess with this matter, so I approached you, and I don't want you to mess with it. So you can choose to arrange another subordinate, such as a high-level reporter in charge. Moreover, when reporting, don't let Foreign journalists in London report directly, and they can secretly entrust someone they don’t know to send a report letter. In short, the matter is not absolutely important to me, so we must pay attention to safety issues.”

Regarding this matter, Lin Zuhui was very cautious, and he was not very worried about security issues. Even if he mentioned it directly to Provis, and then reminded the Bank of England through HSBC, it would not be impossible.

But he didn't want to expose himself 'Why do you know so much? 'This problem, so we simply carried out this kind of reporting method of layer-by-layer subcontracting.

And why did he think of reporting in advance?

the reason is simple:

The first is that he does not want Xiangjiang International Commercial Bank to have too many problems, so that he cannot bear the burden of acquisition;

The second is that you don't want Xiangjiang depositors to lose too much, so just treat it as a matter of little effort.

Long Jingchang said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, this matter is a matter of reporting. Even if I go to London to report anonymously in person, no one will doubt you. Of course, what you said is very reasonable. I will also find a trustworthy person." people, to carry out secret entrustment. Moreover, I believe that as long as someone reports it, the Bank of England should take it seriously anyway.”

Lin Zuhui immediately thought of a good solution at this time, and immediately said: "If the report is valid, the China Commercial Bank will be seized in London, and you will immediately arrange for the "Economic Daily" to report. No matter what the Hong Kong government says or does, our financial Critics must uphold the freedom of the press and remind the Hong Kong government in newspapers that China Commercial Bank of Hong Kong should be shut down immediately. Our remarks are very simple. Anyone who is familiar with the economic market knows that it is impossible for the parent company to have problems, and the subsidiary company can be alone. Xiangjiang There must be something wrong with the China Commercial Bank, so it must be seized immediately to prevent the funds from flowing overseas.”

At this time, Long Jingchang finally understood the boss' intention, he wanted to enter the banking industry.

Thinking of this, Long Jingchang said seriously: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well, and it will be done so that no one will suspect that I am doing it!"

That's right, no one knew that Long Jingchang was operating, let alone suspected Lin Zuhui.

Of course, in fact, Lin Zuhui was too cautious. Even if he reported it himself, would someone still leak him, or someone could directly trouble him?

He just didn't want to provoke this matter. He has a group of subordinates, why not use it!

The two chatted about the details again, trying to be foolproof.

After Long Jingchang left, Lin Zuhui began to think seriously.

Assuming everything goes well, and the "China Business Incident" breaks out in April, he needs to prepare his acquisition team immediately, so that he will not be unprepared when negotiating with the Hong Kong government.

There is no need to worry about the acquisition of funds, because although he will have opponents, none of his opponents will accept the clause that "Xiangjiang foreign exchange funds do not guarantee the bad debts of Guoshang". The recorded debt is 25 billion (maybe not so much), which is also daunting.

But Lin Zuhui is different. In his opinion, a huge bank network is very cost-effective for a novice like him.

In the previous life in 1993, an "overseas trust bank" with a loss of 18 billion was sold at a high price of 44 billion in the hands of the Hong Kong government. It is conceivable that investment banks cannot look at the financial situation of the bank itself, but need to look at the bank's financial situation. Bank's financial network.

Even if the cost of acquiring China Commercial Bank (Hong Kong) is as high as 50 billion to 60 billion, Lin Zuhui will not hesitate.

The bank was too profitable and too important to him.

Moreover, if he intervenes in China Commercial Bank (Hong Kong) as a white knight this time, his prestige in Hong Kong will be raised to a higher level.Just imagine, when 45000 depositors are desperate, Lin Zuhui intervenes, shouldn't these people be grateful!

Of course, Lin Zuhui also tried his best to retain these depositors, and made the Hong Kong government promise to himself-assuming that he had dealt with China Commercial Bank (Hong Kong), the overseas trust bank must be sold to himself first and cheaply.

……

Three days later, London.

A British reporter, John, came near the Bank of England headquarters building with a portfolio in his hand.

At this moment, he was a little curious about the contents of the portfolio, but he did not choose to open it.All he knew was that it was a report, not a dangerous weapon.

His boss told him that this was an anonymous report, so after he arrived near the Bank of England headquarters, he found a little boy walking alone, and then exchanged 100 pounds for the boy to deliver the portfolio to the Bank of England management.

It's that simple, but you can't expose yourself, otherwise there will be some small troubles in the follow-up!

Soon, John discovered the target, a little boy about 10 years old, who was playing alone.

John walked up to the little boy and said, "Hey, BOY, can you send me a letter to the people in that building?"

The little boy said arrogantly: "No, are you a villain? Why don't you deliver it yourself? Are you afraid of them?"

John's face froze immediately, and he couldn't refute what he said.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pulled out a £100 note.

The little boy's eyes are straight!

"Look, here is 100 pounds, he can buy a lot of toys and snacks. And you, just send this letter to the administrator of the Bank of England in that building for me, and it will belong to you!"

The little boy immediately reached out to grab the money, and John immediately took it back.

"You haven't completed the task yet, and the reward doesn't belong to you yet!" John said triumphantly.Finally subdued this little boy, what he just said made him speechless, unbearable!

The little boy was a smart kid, and he said distrustfully, "What if I send it in and you run away?"

"What if you didn't deliver the letter to someone else?" John said not to be outdone.

For some reason, John just wanted to play with this kid and play with him.

In the end, the two reached an agreement, John took out a 50 pound note as a deposit, and the remaining 50 pounds had to be sent to the management of the Bank of England by the little boy, and they agreed to confirm it in a nearby place, and the little boy would be able to pay for it. will get the final payment.

The little boy was a child after all, and soon felt safe, and happily walked to the headquarters of the England Building with the file bag.

He didn't know the dangers of society. The moment John jumped away, a 'cruel' smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Damn little boy, you actually say that I'm a bad person! Well, if that's the case, how can I give you the remaining 50 pounds! What's more, if you are followed by someone, wouldn't I be exposed?"

John is a young reporter in his twenties, and soon decides to embezzle the little boy's £20 balance to avenge himself.
