Hong Kong's new giants

Robben knew it well, regardless of whether he had the friend of the boss or not, but he couldn't talk nonsense.

"As far as I know, there is only "Little Heroes of the North Sea" in Japan for the theme of pirates. In my spare time in the past few years, I have also learned a lot of Japanese manga, and the theme of pirates is indeed rare."

Lin Zuhui said: "For a big comic IP, the plot is more important than the artist, and the world background/setting determines the attractiveness of this big IP. This is why our company has never had a fourth big IP. I I personally like the outline I gave you, but it is only an outline after all, and it can only be used as a reference, and real talents are needed to complete the plot and artist, so don't waste it."

Luo Bencheng nodded, and said seriously: "Don't worry, the boss, we are now strong and strong, and there is no shortage of talents."

Wanhui Comic Club implements a division of labor and cooperation between the plot and the artist; unlike Japan, the implemented cartoonist also participates in the plot conception.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the main writers of Wanhui Comics will not participate in the plot conception, nor does it mean that the Japanese main writers participated in all the plot conceptions; in fact, everyone is a team to complete a large work, but the proportion of participation is different.

The outline of the manga "One Piece" handed over by Lin Zuhui is actually a messy memory. After all, even if you read it, you have almost forgotten most of the small plots. Most of the world background and settings are remembered, so I can only say A material reference is provided.

For another example, "Pokémon" has more than 900 kinds of Pokémon. Who can remember clearly, and the attributes of each Pokémon are even more complicated.

Therefore, the team is still very important and can contribute more to the 'perfection' of this work.

In addition to making good works, Wanhui Comics has also done a lot of work. For example, the company's management team is strong, and it has made great contributions to exporting copyrights and rights protection overseas; in addition, the price of Wanhui Comics' booklets and animation exports, Cheaper than Japanese ones, it aims to establish an early 'bait' and lay the foundation for making big money in the future.

……

Villa No. 36 Shi Xun Road (formerly Chartered Taipan House).

Li Jiaxin showed Ms. He a tour of her mansion, with a bit of pride in her eyes.There are less than 200 garden-style detached villas in Hong Kong, and there are even fewer hilltop villas, but she owns one.

"How is it? Is it not as good as Xu's mansion?" Li Jiaxin said with a smile.

Ms. He said angrily: "Smug! You know it well, we don't live in Xu's mansion, how can it be as luxurious as yours?"

An enemy in the previous life, a best friend in this life, and the leader of the celebrity circle.Miss He and Li Jiaxin have a celebrity circle, and they are the two with the most status.

Li Jiaxin suddenly started to gossip: "How is your relationship recently?"

Ms. He's expression darkened, and then she said lightly: "That's it!" Then she continued: "You will have a drink with me later!"

Li Jiaxin is the owner who shows off everywhere, and immediately said: "Okay! Our LEIT Group has recently acquired a second-class estate in Bordeaux, France--Luchen Family Estate. I happened to take a few boxes. Treat you tonight. Bottles of good vintages to taste."

The LEIT Group’s successful acquisition of the Luchen family estate has aroused great repercussions in France and Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang even set off a wave of buying red wine estates in Bordeaux. Possibly, most small and medium-sized manors will be sold.

There are more than 60 wineries listed for sale in the Bordeaux area every year, so there is no shortage of goods.However, it is very difficult for Bordeaux wineries to make money, because the labor union there is strong, and the operation methods must strictly follow the laws and regulations of the Bordeaux region, and it is impossible to improve labor efficiency.

Ms. He is already very familiar with Li Jiaxin's character, so she naturally doesn't care about these small things; in fact, the two got together because of Lin Zuhui's relationship at the beginning. Li Jiaxin is Lin Zuhui's woman, and Ms. He is Lin Zuhui's good friend. The relationship between the two companies is good, and there are many business cooperations.

But gradually, the two did become good friends and best girlfriends.

To put it in a very realistic way, the so-called friendship means that the two parties can use and cooperate with each other. If they can't use each other one day, the friendship relationship will fade away.If the disparity in status is too great, it is naturally difficult to become friends.

Ms. He hugged Li Jiaxin's son again, she couldn't put it down, she thought it was very cute and smart.It wasn't until the servant called for dinner that she reluctantly handed Lin Wenjun to the nanny.

During the meal, the two women chatted while drinking.

Miss He suddenly asked: "I have a question, you are not allowed to pass it on!"

Li Jiaxin looked like I was that kind of person, and then said: "Well, keep it secret for you!"

Ms. He asked cautiously: "Your condition is so good, is there anything about him that deserves your grievances?"

Li Jiaxin was taken aback, it was difficult to answer this question, anyway, she never thought about leaving Lin Zuhui, because she followed Lin Zuhui very early, and her thoughts had already been fixed.

After thinking for a long time, Li Jiaxin said: "I don't know, anyway, I never thought about leaving him, there is no reason, I haven't considered this question for 8 years, so I can't answer you."

Ms. He secretly cursed Lin Zuhui's "wolf's ambition" and got her hands on it.Of course, she won't spread rumors indiscriminately, and she can't afford to offend Lin Zuhui.

"Then let me ask this question differently. Your man is very caring. You spend very little time with you, so you have no objection? I'm not trying to provoke the relationship between the two of you, I'm just asking!" Miss He said sincerely .

Li Jiaxin pursed her lips and said, "It's impossible for you to provoke my relationship with Brother Hui. Our son is over two years old and our relationship is good! Let me tell you, lest you be curious, I don't think it is necessary to stick to each other every day. Together, my man is super strong..."

Miss He blushed immediately, and said in a broken mouth, "Why are you telling me this!"

Li Jiaxin smiled and said: "You want to ask about our private affairs! By the way, is your guy as good as my brother Hui!"

"Go, you said everything!"

At this time, both women had drunk a lot of wine, and their faces were slightly flushed.

So Ms. He couldn't help but said: "Your man can really last for two hours, and that's not how he brags about showing affection!"

Li Jiaxin said: "If you don't believe me, you will pull him down, otherwise, why do you think he is flirtatious!"

Chapter 5 and five [gold surge]

At 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Zuhui finished a social event and returned to No. 36 Shixun Road. Today, he turned over Li Jiaxin's sign.

When he got home, he saw that Li Jiaxin and Ms. He had blushed completely from drinking, and he couldn't help frowning. Why did they drink so badly?

When Ms. He saw Lin Zuhui coming back, her face turned even redder. She remembered the last time when she was attacked on her thighs. Those big hands almost hit her vitals. The important thing is that she didn't react immediately at that time, so she was a little flustered now. .

"I'm going home first, so I won't bother you two!"

Lin Zuhui saw that she was a little drunk, so he said: "Sit down for a while, drink some tea to sober up." After speaking, he asked the servant to make tea, and then sat on the sofa.

Li Jiaxin quickly and cautiously came to Lin Zuhui's side, afraid that Lin Zuhui would say that she was addicted to alcohol, and explained: "She is not feeling well today, so I will drink more with her."

Lin Zuhui probably knew the reason, but he didn't really want to get involved because of his relationship with He Sheng.

Ms. He felt that Lin Zuhui's words had a magical power, just like his father's "irresistible", it was a kind of aura of a superior, so she came to the sofa and sat down.

"If you need help with your career, just ask, we are all friends, so you don't need to be polite." Lin Zuhui said.

With Lin Zuhui's social connections, he knows countless large companies in the world. If Ms. He wants Lin Zuhui to take care of her Tianji Public Relations Company, that is a very simple matter.For example, her customers LV and Hermes are all retail business customers of New Era Group, and the relationship is far deeper than she and others.

If these well-known brands in Europe and the United States want to enter Hong Kong and the mainland, what they can't avoid is to cooperate with a big real estate developer like Lin Zuhui.Of course, the shopping malls of the New Times Group also need these well-known brands to support the scene, and will give them preferential treatment in terms of rent.Xiangjiang’s rental discounts are limited, perhaps only 2% to 3%.If shopping malls in the mainland are launched in the future, it is not impossible for these European and American luxury brands to get a [-]% discounted rent.

In commercial real estate, the most important thing is the relationship with customers.

"No, my company is so small, and I still need the help of a big man like you!" Miss He said.

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "I still think my company is too small, it seems that you want a family to help your father take care of his business."

Miss He immediately panicked, and immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing!" She was most afraid of others talking about this, because it was something that hadn't been confirmed yet, and she was worried that it would make her father think that she was ambitious, which would not be good for her. mother's interest.

Lin Zuhui put his arms around Li Jiaxin, leaned on the sofa, and said leisurely: "You rich second generations are really... that Li Zeju is also like this. I'm afraid that the media will say that he is going to take over from his father, and he will be furious when he mentions it... a bit mean!"

Hearing Lin Zuhui's joke, Ms. He lost her sense of restraint, and leaned towards Lin Zuhui unconsciously.

"You're still laughing at us, your big family will have enough troubles for you in the future!" Miss He said unconvinced.

The implication is that Lin Zuhui's property is so rich, and he has so many children (Miss He doesn't know how many), he will also step into the troubles of the big family in the future.

Lin Zuhui followed Li Jiaxin's hair, and Li Jiaxin was in his arms like a kitten, and he looked like a deeply affectionate person.

"Then you are just worrying about it. Only families with insufficient wealth will have those troubles. Besides, I am so young!"

Ms. He couldn't refute immediately, because she knew Lin Zuhui's words were very reasonable. Judging from what Li Jiaxin usually revealed, this man intends to cultivate Li Jiaxin's investment ability, and Li Jiaxin is a native of London, and the children in the future will go to the UK reading.It is not difficult to imagine that this man may send his woman to many countries overseas.

The important thing is that Li Jiaxin never speaks bad things about Guan Jiahui, Wang Zuxian and others in front of her. On the contrary, the relationship is very friendly. Although there are times of dislike, there is not much malice.

This made her amazed, this man is so good!

Could it be that the news revealed by Li Jiaxin tonight is true?Is there really such a man in the world?For a moment, Ms. He was caught in a flash of thought.

At this time, Li Jiaxin showed a happy smile on her face. She hadn't thought about Lin Zuhui's wealth for a long time, because this man said that the wealth of each house would not be less than 100 billion; Take a shot to help this house build a bigger business empire.

What is the concept of 30 billion? Currently, it can be ranked in the top [-] of Xiangjiang. Of course, it can only be regarded as wealth on the surface.

When we chatted until almost 12 o'clock, Ms. He offered to leave. Lin Zuhui arranged for a female bodyguard to take her home, but he felt that Ms. He looked at him obediently.

To be honest, although the two are friends, every time they get together, there must be a group of friends around them, and they will not get along alone, so as not to give tongue.

Back at the villa, Li Jiaxin told Lin Zuhui in a low voice, "She has had conflicts with her husband recently, and she started sleeping in separate rooms."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "Stop inquiring about other people's private affairs, let alone interfering in them. Don't persuade them to leave and offend others."

While undressing Lin Zuhui, Li Jiaxin said, "Well, I heard from you that she confided in herself after drinking. Also, her good friend Chen Baiqiang is lying in the hospital now, and his life may be in danger. "

Lin Zuhui didn't react too much to Li Jiaxin's words, let alone Chen Baiqiang, whom he was not very familiar with, even his acquaintance Zhang Guorong, he would not interfere with other people's trajectory.The road is chosen by oneself. If others can save it once, they cannot save it a second time.

But then again, as far as he knew, Ms. He and Chen Baiqiang were really just friends and had never been in a relationship; moreover, Ms. He and Xu Jinheng really had feelings for each other, not a complete family marriage.

But for the media, even if they know the truth, they will choose to ignore it, because there are so many without gimmicks.

As for the conflict between Ms. He and Xu Jinheng, that's natural. One is a career woman, the other is the second generation ancestor of the family, and now there is an excellent brother supporting her.It's not a good thing for women to be strong and men to be weak. If you don't mention men's weakness and they are bothered, then there will be no good results.

Lying comfortably in the big bathtub, Li Jiaxin also took herself off for a walk, and slipped into Lin Zuhui's arms, and the two just hugged each other and soaked in the bath.The two didn't shoot each other out, but enjoyed this kind of warmth very much.

It's not that Lin Zuhui can't do it tonight, but that he likes some plots as a prelude now, and doesn't like too dry and tasteless behavior.

……

At the end of February this year, the World Trade Center bombing occurred in New York, USA, killing six people and injuring thousands, shocking the whole world.After that, from mid-March, the price of gold in London began to rise from $2 an ounce.

In mid-May, gold once climbed to over US$380 per ounce and stabilized at over US$375 per ounce at the end of May.

Lin Zuhui's psychological price is US$390 per ounce, and he starts to close positions; although he knows that this year will break through the US$400 per ounce mark, he will not "earn the last copper plate", which is his investment philosophy that he has always insisted on .

In May, due to the sharp rise in gold, some people also dug out that Octopus Bank purchased a large number of gold bars as reserves at the beginning of the year, and many people thought about this news for a while.

Octopus Bank is the property of Lin Zuhui, and Lin Zuhui was originally a legendary "stock god". He suddenly invested heavily in spot gold. Do you think gold will skyrocket?

Therefore, people who know the market in the industry have started to invest in gold.Of course, these are just the actions of a small number of people.

……

HSBC.

Provis asked the assistant: "How much gold reserves does Octopus Bank hold?"

The assistant said: "According to the review of the commissioner of the Banking Regulatory Commission and our HSBC commissioner, the data they submitted is 100 tons, and the cost price is about 330 US dollars per ounce. It is currently profitable."

HSBC is equivalent to half of the central bank, and HSBC was originally the rotating chairman of the Association of Banks, so it does have a supervisory role for the banks in Xiangjiang, and of course it can only be used to cooperate with the existence of the Banking Regulatory Office.

Pu Weishi was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned.As the head of a large British-funded bank in Hong Kong, he absolutely does not want Chinese-funded banks to grow up.In Xiangjiang, the Chinese have already dominated all aspects of real estate, trade, manufacturing and other industries, but the bank has been defeated, which is equivalent to the last position of British capital.

In the 60s, the Chinese-funded bank, Hang Seng Bank, was the biggest rival of HSBC; as a result, due to the run-on crisis, HSBC acquired Hang Seng Bank at a very small price.

After several rounds of banking crises, the Chinese-funded banks in Xiangjiang changed hands one after another and became subsidiary banks of foreign capital.Today in Hong Kong, there are only a few local Chinese-funded banks, Bank of East Asia, Octopus Bank, Dah Sing Bank, Liao Chong Hing Bank, Tai Sang Bank, Day You Bank, etc. The proportion of deposits and loans in Hong Kong is less than 20%.

Big rout!

It seems a little different now. Since the establishment of Octopus Bank, relying on Lin Zuhui's personal influence, the bank's deposits have increased day by day, its business is doing well, and its prospects are extremely optimistic.

But now, Pu Weiss has even learned that Octopus Bank has made a book profit of more than one billion yuan in this gold reserve; this also means that Octopus Bank, which originally had to wait until after 1995 to turn its accumulated losses into positive, will Everything will be fine this year or next.

Then, relying on Lin Zuhui's personal reputation and influence in Hong Kong, Octopus Bank may really endanger the status of Hang Seng Bank.After all, Lin Zuhui is too legendary personally.

"What do the CBRC officials say about Octopus Bank's purchase of gold reserves?" Powell said.

The assistant replied: "I didn't say anything. After all, Octopus Bank is not listed, and its finances are still very sound, and there are no irregularities. On the contrary, it is very formal in all aspects. There is more news that Octopus Bank will Time to go public."

Powell immediately sighed: "Hang Seng Bank's biggest enemy is not the Bank of East Asia, but Octopus Bank. Although Lin Zuhui is not a banking professional, he is a financial genius. Octopus Bank will definitely have a great performance in the future."

Having said that, HSBC is now 'unsafe', and Huayin was approved by the Hong Kong government to issue banknotes this year, accounting for 5% of the share.Although there are few, it also shows one thing that Xiangjiang is no longer the world of HSBC, but the world of the Chinese.If HSBC wants to operate in Xiangjiang, it has to be integrated into the Chinese society, not the Chinese will come and make it up.

Chapter 5 and Six [Campaign General T]

Gold soared in May, coupled with the news that Octopus Bank holds a large amount of gold spot, after being known to some interested people, they immediately became active and planned to follow the trend to speculate in gold spot/futures.

However, in the first ten days of June, London gold dropped rapidly from US$380 per ounce to just over US$360, which frightened many people for a while, and this speculation came to an abrupt end.

Facts have proved that even if Lin Zuhui announces his investment plan, few can follow suit and make money, because they don't know when Lin Zuhui will make a profit; or once these people encounter rapid losses, the first thing to do is to close their positions Get out so you don't lose too much.

Unqualified mentality is the biggest drawback of most leeks.

For this gold speculation, Lin Zuhui set the liquidation line for himself at $390 per ounce (London gold price), but he actually knew that this year it broke through $400.

Not earning the last copper coin is more important for time travelers, and it is also a magic weapon for tailor-made.

As for the sharp drop in early June, Lin Zuhui didn't take it seriously at all. Even if he didn't know the highest price, he still had a very good attitude because the cost was only US$330 per ounce.

……

Friday, April 6.

Chen Bin, who returned from the auction with a big victory, reported the results to Lin Zuhui.

"Boss, there are a total of 11 pieces of land in this auction, and we won three pieces of official land... The land of No. 1 May Road luxury house that you gave us was bought at a price of 7.1 million. This land was acquired by Sino Real Estate and Kerry Real Estate The price was called in turn, so the average floor price has reached 4500 yuan per square foot, creating the highest price for a residential house auctioned on official land.”

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui began to calculate.

No. 1 May Road is a luxury residential site in the mid-levels, and the construction cost of ordinary residential buildings is 1300 yuan per square foot. Since it is a luxury house, better materials must be used, and the construction fee must be at least 2000 yuan per square foot.Add in interest and taxes, and the cost per square foot can be as high as 8000 yuan.

The reason why Lin Zuhui insisted on the land at No. 1 May Road is because it is said that the Feng Shui of this land is very good. After the completion of the luxury mansion in the previous life, it has been the highest price holder of luxury houses in Xiangjiang for a long time.

May Road, located in the mid-levels of Hong Kong Island, is a gathering place of luxury houses in Xiangjiang, and there are several luxury real estate projects.
