Hong Kong's new giants

This year, Lin Zuhui has arranged for Fuli Real Estate to move its headquarters to Los Angeles as the flagship company of New Era Group investing in the United States.

Lin Zuhui heard the words, and immediately said: "Buy the shares of Citibank immediately and make long-term investment!"

Although the stock of Citibank is falling, but this year's crazy fundraising, Prince Alwaleed alone injected more than 5 million US dollars, plus Lin Zuhui's 8 million US dollars, and some investors in the market injected more than [-] million dollars.

In fact, the market value of Citibank is still more than 40 billion US dollars!But the stock price has fallen by one-third compared to Lin Zuhui's first purchase.

Fuli Real Estate bought 1 million US dollars, accounting for almost 2% of the shares.But Lin Zuhui knew that in 2000, the market value of Citibank was nearly 2000 billion.

If you buy now, you will get more than 30 times the profit (it may raise funds halfway), and New Times Group may also sell part of it in advance!

Liang Zhenxun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Investing in Citibank is a long-term investment, plus it is an investment by New Era Group, so there is no need to hide it at all, and there is no need to set up any offshore company.

After buying the shares of Citibank this year, New Era Group also plans to buy office buildings in New York, USA, with an amount as high as 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, it is the largest loan amount, and a down payment of 2% is the best.

Lin Zuhui did some calculations, and the investment in the United States needs to cost 18 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not too much.

For the futures contract at the end of the year, New Era Group can also earn more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, this year's non-recurring profit of the New Times Group is indeed pitifully small, estimated to be only [-] million.

"Wait!" Lin Zuhui suddenly stopped Liang Zhenxun.

"Okay, boss!" Liang Zhenxun retreated obediently, and sat on the sofa.

Lin Zuhui took out a piece of paper, quickly analyzed while writing, and quickly decided on an investment.

"Take out 3 million Hong Kong dollars and use 20 times the leverage to short-sell the US dollar and yen! Do short-selling immediately and try to get it done this week!"

Liang Zhenxun was a little surprised, this investment is a temporary idea, the boss is so confident?

"No problem, I'll finish it as soon as possible!" Liang Zhenxun didn't ask too much because it was only 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Remember to prepare 3 million as a margin supplement to avoid liquidation!"

"Ok!"

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. He was also very happy to make some money for the company!

But now the dollar and yen have fallen to 135 points, I don't know if there is any risk!But he is not afraid of losing 5 million to the company. Anyway, he has gained [-] million in securities this year.

What's more, it will be almost 1992 soon, and logically it will not rise above 141 points again!

其实，林祖辉只知道一个参考信息‘1992年下跌120、1993下跌100、1995年下跌80’，至于中途有无反弹，他没有任何记忆。

Therefore, he feels that he has become a master (self-feeling) in foreign exchange speculation!

……

In the conference room of the ATV headquarters, Lin Zuhui was having a meeting with the top management.

Shi Nanshenghui reported: "After more than 8 months since ATV began broadcasting, the audience has officially exceeded 2000 million household users, covering 30 countries! However, recently, TVB is cooperating with 'Dongfang Satellite TV', and the two parties may reach an agreement!"

Lin Zuhui frowned slightly. This was something that did not happen in his previous life. Could it be that the rise of ATV and ATV gave Li Chaoren and Uncle Shao the opportunity to cooperate?

This year's New Year's Day, Asia Satellite TV has already launched, and then quickly attracted a large number of viewers with its wonderful dramas, movies, programs, and "The Voice of China" audition.

On the other hand, Li Chaoren's Oriental Satellite TV did a trial broadcast in May, which was a long way behind.Dragon TV has five channels, and some technical problems often occurred during the period.As for the four English channels, let's not talk about them for the time being, but the Chinese channel has been unable to attract viewers because of the reason of Asia Satellite TV.

At present, the five channels of Dragon TV cannot be fully utilized and broadcast programs!And the audience of its five channels is not as large as that of Asia Satellite TV.

Lin Zuhui said: "The possibility of cooperation between the two parties is very high, but we only need to do our own work well, so Dragon TV's Chinese channel is not a concern."

He didn't expect that Sixth Uncle Shao was actually growing old and strong, and he still wanted to compete with young people for the world!However, Li Chaoren has been unable to open up the situation on the Chinese channel for a long time, so he must seek a breakthrough in content.

This gave Lin Zuhui the idea of ​​going to the United States to buy a satellite, and then seeking to launch it in the Mainland.Establishing a satellite TV network is what Lin Zuhui wants to do, mainly because he is building a goal of "prospering Hong Kong with culture and culture".

However, with the combined cost of purchase and launch estimated at around $5 million, ATV is currently struggling.Moreover, Hong Kong culture has just started, and there is no need to be so urgent.

The best way is to go to the mainland to seek cooperation in another two years, and the two sides will jointly fund the purchase of American satellites and launch them.A satellite has [-] to [-] receivers, and Lin Zuhui doesn't even need a quarter, so there is no need to invest alone.

Seeing that the boss doesn't care about the cooperation between Superman Li and Uncle Shao, everyone is also encouraged. ATV's current strength is no longer something that can be shaken by TVB and Dragon TV.

"How is the filming of "Blue Life and Death"?" Lin Zuhui asked with concern.

Zhao Zhenqiang, the program director, immediately said: "We have been filming for more than ten days, and everything is going smoothly. There will be no problem with the broadcast early next year!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "In the future, we will shoot more Hong Kong TV dramas and broadcast them on satellite TV stations. Our satellite TV stations have such high advertising costs, it is worth continuing to invest in them!"

At present, Asia Satellite TV has signed advertising contracts with many large companies, and the monthly advertising fee is around 7000 million Hong Kong dollars (not pure profit), and it is still increasing.One satellite TV channel is more expensive than the advertising fee of two TV channels.

That being the case, it is natural to ensure sufficient TV dramas, movies, programs and other resources.

Li Cucumber's Dragon TV claims to be on 24 hours a day, but in fact it only has 8 hours of programs, and the rest of the time it broadcasts the same programs repeatedly.

And Asia Satellite TV is also non-stop 24 hours a day, but there are not many recurring programs, and they are all arranged in special time slots.

Zhao Zhenqiang immediately said with encouragement: "Okay!"

In fact, Lin Zuhui has already planned to adapt the South Korean drama "Dae Long" and will start filming next year!

This kind of historical drama is completely, very easy to adapt for China, which has a civilization of 5000 years.

……

Dragon TV, Li Chaoren is the chairman, Ma Shimin and Li Zeqi are the vice-chairmen, and Chen Qingxiang, who has many years of TV experience, is the chief executive.Li Zeqi is the actual head of Satellite TV, and Li Chaoren is just a vain job, letting his son do it; and his master Ma Shimin will not intervene in the affairs of Satellite TV because of Li Chaoren's face.

Moreover, Li Chaoren originally wanted to call it 'Asia Satellite TV', but Asia Satellite TV also leased two satellite receivers, and others got the satellite license a few months earlier than himself, so they had to change it to 'Dongfang Satellite TV'.

Li Zekai thought it was a good job, but under the strong offensive of Asia Satellite TV, the Chinese channel of Dragon TV could not be opened for a long time.Asia Satellite TV not only has strong program production capabilities, but also Shi Nansheng, a strong woman. In ATV's overseas promotion, Shi Nansheng's performance is indeed very impressive.

In the end, Li Zekai had no choice but to agree to Shao Liushu's proposal to co-organize a Chinese channel with TVB.

In the conference room, the two sides are finalizing the agreement.

Shao Liushu said with a smile: "If we cooperate with Dragon TV's Chinese channel, then we shouldn't be unable to broadcast Cantonese programs, so we should immediately apply to the Hong Kong government for unblocking!"

Li Chaoren and his son are overjoyed. The inability to broadcast Cantonese channels is the biggest obstacle. As long as the programs are mainly in Cantonese, they cannot be broadcast. This prevents many programs from Heung Kong from being broadcast on Dragon TV.

Li Zekai immediately said happily: "Uncle Liu is right. Dragon TV has been restricted. As a result, Xiangjiang's programs can hardly be introduced, and many viewers have been lost."

Li Chaoren suddenly thought of a question, and said to Shao Liushu: "Sixth brother, can the 'Hong Kong culture revitalize Hong Kong' really have an effect?"

Both are real estate developers, Lin Zuhui's reputation is better than him, and Lin Zuhui's influence is also higher than him, which makes Li Chaoren a little unconvinced.And after Lin Zuhui put forward the idea of ​​"prospering Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture", it greatly improved Lin Zuhui's prestige!In Li Chaoren's mind, he thought selfishly that this plan had better be a castle in the air.

Uncle Shao Liu was very honest, showing admiration on his face, and said: "At least one group and a female artist they launched has a very large influence in Asia! As far as I know, YG Entertainment under ATV has many such talents, They have created a culture...but don't worry, our TVB will launch a 'Hong Kong Stream Idol' team soon, and we can also increase our influence across Asia through satellite TV."

Li Chaoren's heart sank, he could design an industry for Xiangjiang at a young age, and he couldn't match his courage!

Li Zekai is very interested in these things, and plans to set up an entertainment company on Satellite TV, and try to cultivate some idols of his own company!The contract signed with TVB is only for two years, and Dragon TV's self-produced programs will definitely be greatly improved by then.Dragon TV has five channels, so it will definitely not lose to Asia TV, which has only one channel.

Father, let me defeat your competitor, Li Zekai thought so!

Chapter 416 [Ambition in Prison]

Lin Zuhui also did not expect that "Manke SHOW" broke the sales volume of "Fengyun" comic series at the fastest speed. Only two months after its publication, it became the NO. Multiple copies.

At the same time, the ratings of the "Detective Conan" animation also performed poorly in the first episode. Teng Xinyi was poisoned and became smaller, becoming the second episode of Conan, ushering in a skyrocketing ratings.

TMD, it turns out that little Conan is more likable!

The animation of this manga was produced in Japan, and then broadcast on ATV and Asia Satellite TV, the two channels staggered time, and gained a lot of fans for a while.Overseas, there is also a certain fan base.

Of course, Lin Zuhui is not in a hurry to repay, because he knows that when he really makes money, it is when the animation of "Detective Conan" is introduced overseas, and the booklet of "Detective Conan" is co-published by overseas publishing houses. .

It is impossible for others to publish the "Manke SHOW" serial magazine, only the single volume of "Detective Conan", including the mainland.

Encouraged by the good news, Lin Zuhui came to the "Detective Conan" studio in the News Building, and chatted with the main creators about the plot of "Detective Conan".

This studio has both a lead writer and a screenwriter, unlike Gosho Aoyama in his previous life, who was both the lead writer and screenwriter (and also had a team); but not in Wanhui Comics, where the lead writer, screenwriter, deputy lead writer, assistants, etc. are a big team.

The reason for this is that Lin Zuhui was also worried that the Japanese chief editor would cheat him of his outline, or that he would quit at any time.Therefore, whether it is "Detective Conan" or "Pokémon", if the Japanese lead writer refuses to do it, it will not affect the subsequent development very much.

And Lin Zuhui's outline is actually very rough, mainly relying on the cooperation of the creative team. In fact, "Detective Conan" is the best creation. Repeated research on "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" and adding elements of the Western "007 Series" make the entire animation Western. change some.Moreover, in some other people's cases, you can also use your own nesting dolls.

"Detective Conan" is progressing smoothly, and "Pokémon" is expected to start serialization this month, which makes Lin Zuhui very encouraged. "Pokémon" is a masterpiece of IP, and its value is much higher than that of "Detective Conan", and this animation originally appeared on Nintendo's game console before it was made into animation.

Today, Wanhui Comics Club plans to publish comics first, and then make animations.As for the game in the future, whether it is authorization or something, that is a later story.

Lin Zuhui called Luo Bencheng and asked, "How is the income and expenditure of Wanhui Comics Club?"

The annual profit level of Wanhui Comics Club itself is around 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and Lin Zuhui also invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars alone at the beginning of the year, mainly for the acquisition of animation production companies and toy companies.

Luo Bencheng said: "The "Manke SHOW" department has already made a profit, but we are gradually laying out the comic industry chain, and the profit is meager."

The so-called "Manke SHOW" department is actually the Japanese manga style department, including "Manke Show", animation production companies, and toy factories, which belong to this department.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "It is enough to make ends meet. As I said, the profit is overseas, not Xiangjiang. At the beginning, it is mainly investment. Once there are many fans overseas, then overseas release of booklets, animation copyrights, etc. Comic peripherals will become a golden rooster for placing an order!"

Luo Bencheng nodded and said: "Not only that, our comic training class is getting bigger and bigger, and these talents can only develop in our company, and we will also harvest more excellent works!"

The comics training class does not accept apprentices without basic skills, but recruits students majoring in fine arts, or students with comics skills, who enjoy subsidies from Wanhui Comics Club, which is the same as the TV station artist training class.

Xiangjiang does not need college students majoring in comics. As long as there are art majors, there will be successors in the comics industry.For example, Gosho Aoyama, the previous author of "Detective Conan", was an art major.

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "What I can do is almost done. You have to lead Xiangjiang's comics industry, learn more from Japan, and form an industrial chain. Don't worry about the small market. As long as the works are excellent, the world is our market."

This sentence is not a lie, even works like "Dragon Tiger Gate" have been sold to Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, so why worry about the small market!

It is true to speak by works!

"Okay, we will definitely work hard!"

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. Once the booklets and animations of "Detective Conan" are purchased overseas, he will publicize "Comics Revitalize Hong Kong" with great fanfare.

At that time, earn some more reputation and increase your influence.Package yourself as a Hong Kong-loving businessman for Hong Kong and the people.

……

In fact, Wanhui Comic Club has already gained a strong reputation in Xiangjiang!

Fans of Xiangjiang comics who have read the "Manke Show" magazine and the animation "Detective Conan" have promoted it to their friends.

"We Xiangjiang can also publish high-quality comic magazines and produce high-quality animations!"

For a moment, Xiangjiang's entire comic world was stunned.

When did Xiangjiang's comics become dominated by the Japanese manga style again, and it was still the Japanese manga style created by Xiangjiang Company.

Stanley Prison.

Huang Yulang, who was serving his sentence, was ridiculed by the prison guards: "Huang Sheng, when you get out of prison, you may not have a place in Xiangjiang's comics world!"

Although Huang Yulang is serving his sentence, Stanley Prison has given him preferential treatment, because he is not a heinous person, and although he has been sentenced to four years, it is estimated that he will be released in half a year.

Because of this, Huang Yulang often brags to his inmates and guards in the prison (nature) that when he is released from prison, he will definitely take away the signboard of "Xiangjiang Manga No.1" and start a new stove. They will abandon Wanhui Comics Club one after another.

Huang Yulang heard the prison guard's ridicule, and said confidently: "Impossible, I must be the most popular cartoonist after I get out of prison. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"

Several prison guards laughed, and a prison guard threw Huang Yulang a copy of the latest "Manke Show" with a smile, and said: "When you get out of prison, maybe the world will be full of Japanese manga style! This magazine , more than two months after it was published, the sales volume has reached more than 25 copies, surpassing "Fengyun"... Wanhui Comic has invested 5 million Hong Kong dollars to create a whole industry chain, animation production, toy factory, etc. It seems that it is going to Make great efforts to develop Japanese-style comics... I am a fan of "Detective Conan", and now I don't like to watch your dragon and tiger gate fights!"

The prison guards seemed to be friends too, tirelessly introducing the situation outside Jianghu, Huang Yulang suddenly became incredulous.Riman did dominate Hong Kong before, but since his "Dragon Tiger Gate" was released, Riman has fallen behind.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zuhui did the opposite, vigorously developing the Japanese manga style, and making a layout for the entire industry chain.So it seems that he is also very optimistic about the peripherals of comics.

He had never thought of such courage!

For a while, Huang Yulang wished he could get out of prison immediately and go see the world outside.

"In half a year, I will be released from prison, and I will definitely not give in!"

"I want to tell everyone that I'm still a blockbuster!"

Huang Yulang cheered for himself in a low voice!

……

On Saturday, Big D will gather at the Jockey Club in Happy Valley.

The Jockey Club in Happy Valley is the headquarters, and it is far better equipped than the Sha Tin Racecourse because there is a Jockey Club here.

The Jockey Club is the clubhouse. This club has private football fields, private swimming pools, and private tennis courts, and there are many more; there is also a whole building that is the clubhouse, with top-notch restaurants and top-notch private rooms.

Many members of the Jockey Club come to the Jockey Club from the morning when they have nothing to do, and spend the whole day more comfortably than at home.

Everyone was chatting in a big box, drinking red wine, but there were no girls.

Today is the opening day of the annual Jockey Club, and the Jockey Club is full of people. Although the Big D Club is a loose organization (no rules, just play together), it is a very famous group in Xiangjiang .

After all, Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong are both among the top ten chaebols in Xiangjiang, and Liu Luanxiong is also one of the top ten backup chaebols.

Although Liu Luanxiong was cut off by Lin Zuhui many opportunities, almost all of the top ten alternate chaebols and top ten chaebols were cut off by Lin Zuhui.Therefore, Liu Luanxiong is still No.10 among the top ten alternate chaebols.

Liu Luanxiong's first nine are: Hu Yingxiang, Hang Lung Chen, Guo Lingcan, Li Guobao, Xinhe Huang, Shaw Run, Luo Xurui, Lee's family, and Lin Shaoliang.
