Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui asked again: "How much money is there in the account, is it not enough?"

Pan Cheng said: "There is only 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, and I have to apply to the group!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. With his greeting, the finance manager would not say anything else.

While the two were chatting, the assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Miss Yuan is here!"

Then, I saw Yuan Liangliang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, walk in, with a complicated expression on her face.

Seeing that Pan Cheng was about to leave, Lin Zuhui motioned him not to leave, and called Yuan Liangliang to sit on the sofa.

"Manager Pan, what do you think of Ms. Yuan Liangliang as the heroine?"

Pan Cheng took a serious look and said, "Miss Yuan really looks good with short hair, and her overall image is good. I think it suits her well."

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll let her contact you later!"

"Okay, boss!"

After Pan Cheng left, Yuan Liangliang immediately said, "What heroine? Why don't you ask me what I mean?"

Lin Zuhui said casually, "Are you talking about a boyfriend yet?"

Yuan Liangliang hesitated, and then said after a while: "Why are you asking this? No. Do you want me to come back to you?" After speaking, she looked at Lin Zuhui seriously, hoping that this man would ask her to get back together.

Lin Zuhui said, "Oh, I'm just asking!"

"You!" Yuan Liangliang said angrily.

Lin Zuhui laughed. He knew that Yuan Liangliang might have a boyfriend now, and it was Zhang Zhiling!

After making a joke, Lin Zuhui said seriously: "Our company wants to make a big-budget movie, so we want you to be the heroine."

Yuan Liangliang immediately became interested and asked, "What movie? How big is the production?"

Lin Zuhui said: "You promise me first!"

Yuan Liangliang immediately said vigilantly: "I don't even know what movie it is, how can I promise you, in case you..." I couldn't say the rest, after all, what Lin Zuhui cheated on her.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "A sci-fi movie with an investment of 1500 million US dollars may be released in Hollywood, and it will be a series of movies. If you can achieve our expected results, you will be able to enter Hollywood in the future."

If someone else said this, Yuan Liangliang would definitely think it was a liar, but when Lin Zuhui said it, she really believed it.

"It's so powerful! Of course I promise you, we have a relationship anyway!"

Lin Zuhui's heart fluttered for a moment, who is not Cao thief!

However, he continued: "It's an action sci-fi movie, you have to suffer a lot, I hope you can stick to it."

Yuan Liangliang's facial expression hurt immediately, but looking at Lin Zuhui again, this man treats her very well, he has been with her for more than half a year, mixed up with a mansion worth tens of millions and many valuable gifts, so she is very fond of him, even if it is a reunion , It's just a matter of this man's words.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Lin Zuhui asked curiously: "You don't ask about the salary?"

"You are not short of money"

Makes sense!

At this time, Lin Zuhui looked at Yuan Liangliang and remembered the past. He had never turned back.But he suddenly remembered Alice's bonus, and felt a little restless.

Why should a Hollywood actress who has been trained by herself make it cheaper for others!

Seeing Lin Zuhui looking at her, Yuan Liangliang immediately looked up proudly. In her opinion, this man is much more attractive.

Lin Zuhui was interested in seeing Yuan Liangliang. He sat beside Yuan Liangliang and tentatively put his arms around his waist.

Comfortable, Miss Hong Kong is still good!

He gave the script of "Resident Evil" to Yuan Liangliang and said, "Look at it! This is really a big production, maybe it will make you famous all over Asia, and even enter Hollywood!"

There is no doubt about Yuan Liangliang's acting skills. In "New Love", which will be released soon this year, she will win the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards and become the youngest actress to remain. In her previous life, she also won the Academy Award for Best Actress with "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" up.

This script was still attractive to Yuan Liangliang, so much so that Lin Zuhui's hand stuck into her clothes, she didn't even know it.

After a long time, Yuan Liangliang shyly said: "It's really back together, don't play tricks on me this time!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I want you to focus on your career and not to fall in love, so the relationship between the two of us is kept secret. I praise you as the pinnacle of Chinese actresses. You and I maintain a lover relationship, but don't make troubles in the city." .” I added in my heart that I will find an honest man to marry in the future.

Yuan Liangliang nodded, she missed Lin Zuhui's strength and generous financial resources very much.

Next, Lin Zuhui became more and more excited, as if thinking of Alice's body, he pressed Yuan Liangliang on the sofa.

"Don't be here, you will be in trouble if someone sees you!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Don't worry, I hardly come to this office, it is impossible for the assistant to let people in."

"woohoo"

What happened next became so intense that both of them were released.

That's how it happened. In fact, Lin Zuhui also considered this female role at the beginning. First, she had to be satisfied with short hair, and second, she had to be beautiful and young.

The reason why I am young is that assuming the film is successful, I can't shoot one every two years, and I have to shoot five films in ten years.

Chapter 516 [Cultural Empire]

DreamWorks wanted to shoot a blockbuster film that would enter Hollywood, and it was a joint filming with 21st Century Fox, which caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong for a while.

Everyone in the industry knows that ATV Group and News Corporation have just cooperated, and then the two film companies announced that they will co-produce a movie.

Of course, the fact is that 21st Century Fox is just a name, and a few people are lined up to assist in the filming.The one who can promote this matter is naturally Lin Zuhui who came forward and greeted Murdoch.

For this film, whether it makes money or not is secondary. The important thing is to have influence and make Lin Zuhui face; therefore, the shooting must be of high quality, at least several times the quality of Xiangjiang's previous science fiction films.

The sets and props of the first part of "Resident Evil" are mainly the base camp of the hive, so DreamWorks will spend huge sums of money to build it.In order to recover the cost, the hive will be opened to the public as a 'tourist attraction' in the future and can be reused.

In fact, the most important thing about this movie is not the big production, but the creativity - T-virus, artificial intelligence (supercomputer) and a series of fresh words.

And this film needs to be prepared and filmed for a year, and it is scheduled to be broadcast in the summer vacation next year.

After completing the last field of the communication company, Lin Zuhui felt relieved that TV stations, entertainment companies, film companies... ATV Group has become the king of all fields of communication.

……

Thursday, November 8.

In the morning, Lin Zuhui was reading the newspaper in his office, and saw Cheung Kong Group released its semi-annual financial report: Cheung Kong made a profit of 38 billion in the first half of the year (as of June 6), and Hutchison Whampoa 30 billion. (HK Electric can be regarded as a public utility company, and Hutchison only holds 20% of the shares. Separate news will be released)

After reading the news, Lin Zuhui was a little surprised that the performance of Cheung Kong Group was so good, 58 billion in half a year excluding HK Electric.

The net profit of New Era Group in the first half of the year was 75 billion, including non-recurring profit of 13.8 billion, so the recurring profit was 61.2 billion.

Lin Zuhui was surprised that he was only a little bit taller than Changshi Group.

You must know that the Chinese real estate under the New Times Group is a large rent collector; and the Cheung Kong Group has almost no rental properties, accounting for a very small proportion.

However, Lin Zuhui quickly understood that Hutchison Whampoa made more money than Hengchang Holdings, which Hengchang Holdings may only have about 5% of that, and its half-year profit is only 11 billion.

The profits of the two development properties are similar, and Cheung Kong even slightly wins. New Times Properties can only be ranked third, and Sun Hung Kai is ranked first, but the three companies are catching up.

Calling Liang Zhenxun, Lin Zuhui asked, "Is our semi-annual financial report ready?"

Liang Zhenxun nodded and said, "It's ready, it's going to be released in early September."

It is necessary to release this financial report. The current market value of New Era Group is only more than 1500 billion, and it will strive to rise to 2000 billion by the end of the year, setting a record.After all, the broader market can skyrocket to more than 11000 points, and New Era Group has no problem rising by [-]%.

Lin Zuhui continued: "When holding a press conference, remember to report to investors in more detail. The book assets of the US stocks we invested in this year have increased, and the dividend per share of General Dynamics has reached as high as US$32.6 (holding 147 million shares)... Hengchang Yili Foods has become the No. 40 brand of instant noodles in the Mainland...the market value of listed companies controlled by Singapore has reached [-] billion...such good news can be explained to investors."

New Times Group's finances have always been relatively transparent, and announcing some good investment news can also strengthen investors' confidence.

The important thing is that billions of convertible bonds are due at the end of the year. The company does not want to pay the principal and interest, but hopes that everyone will exchange for stocks.Therefore, the higher the market value, the higher the enthusiasm of everyone to exchange stocks. In fact, everyone will exchange stocks.

"Okay, I will communicate with President Yuan later, and the two of us will attend the press conference!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. He hadn't attended the semi-annual financial report conference for several years. He would only consider attending the annual financial report conference in February and March.

Today's New Era Group has already exceeded 2000 billion in net assets, making it a giant in the industry.

The rise of the New Era Group has weakened Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson, and New World by [-] to [-] percent; second-tier real estate companies such as Hang Lung, Great Eagle, Sino, and Chinachem have even weakened their strength by [-] to [-] percent; The fourth-tier real estate developers are naturally affected.

After Liang Zhenxun left, his assistant Li Ke brought in a person after a while, and Lin Zuhui greeted him.

"Wang Sheng, welcome to come!" Lin Zuhui said happily.

The person who came was Wang Jianping, the general manager of the "Shougang" Xiangjiang listed company, who had crossed paths with Lin Zuhui several times.Because Lin Zuhui made a great contribution to the acquisition of Asia Securities in Huaxin back then; as a result, several official companies in the mainland pulled his tail one after another, intending to let Lin Zuhui take them to the sky—to come to Hong Kong for a backdoor listing.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui also participated in the backdoor listing of "Shougang" in Hong Kong and successive acquisitions of several companies, and indirectly cooperated with Li Chaoren.

The so-called cooperation is not just making suggestions, but requires money to participate in the purchase of listed companies.For example, Shougang is interested in a listed company, but he does not have enough money, so he can only buy 51% of the shares, and the rest will be purchased by other consortiums; after acquiring a company, the market value will inevitably skyrocket, and then Shougang (listed company) can rights issue Raise funds, and then redeem the shares in the hands of the cooperative company (profitable).

Through this kind of stock market game, the company can quickly snowball development.Huaxin is the representative of mainland companies coming to Hong Kong. After successively annexing several listed companies, Huaxin's current market value has reached 200 billion, becoming the first stock in China.

And Shougang is the second stock, with a current market value of less than 50 billion.

Wang Jianping is a second-generation, needless to say, this is the case, including those at the top of Huaxin, many of them are.

Of course, although Lin Zuhui can't say he's going to the mainland to walk sideways, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, no one will dare to trouble him.He has connections with people in the upper class, and with his own status in Xiangjiang, he doesn't need to please these people.

On the contrary, these people are trying to curry favor with Lin Zuhui, the God of Wealth.

"Lin Sheng, I'm here to disturb you, a busy person again!" Wang Jianping said politely with a smile.

Lin Zuhui motioned for him to take a seat, and then said: "I like this interruption. It can make me money. It just shows that we are a win-win cooperation."

Wang Jianping immediately said happily: "Mr. Lin is still fair. There are media outside and we come to Hong Kong to grab business and have privileges. It is wronging us. We are now doing things according to the Xiangjiang system and obeying the laws and regulations here; But there are a few black sheep who make some false backgrounds to deceive people."

How should I put it, there must be privileges. Even the Hong Kong government has taken care of Huaxin before. When Ka Wah Bank was acquired, the acquirer would not bear bad debts and bad debts, and it was guaranteed by the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange fund; Big businessmen, in order to invest in the mainland, are definitely willing to cooperate with these mainland companies in Hong Kong... and so on, it is considered a privilege.As for real privileges, it is naturally impossible. After all, the Hong Kong government also has to maintain the fairness of Xiangjiang.

However, there is a common problem among mainland companies listing in Hong Kong, that is, low profitability, poor management, complicated personnel, and too many internal conflicts. Obviously, they still have a long way to go.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "This is a process. The market will weed out those bad companies, and the last ones to survive must be Hong Kong-listed companies like CEFC, Shougang, and China Aerospace."

Hua Aerospace Science and Technology also successfully went public through the back door, with good performance. The launch of "Asia Satellite No. 1" is their performance.Of course, the assets listed on the backdoor are not those core assets.

Mainland official capital came to Hong Kong for backdoor listing in order to raise funds through securities and then invest.In the past few years, the mainland has invested a lot of funds in Xiangjiang.

After talking for a while, Wang Jianping said: "Lin Sheng, I'm looking for you this time to see if you are interested in cooperating with us to renovate several state-run hotels in the capital."

Lin Zuhui asked: "Those restaurants, I often go to the capital, are basically familiar with them?"

Wang Jianping immediately said: "The Great Wall Hotel, Minzu Hotel, Xiangshan Hotel, Huadu Hotel, Yanxiang Hotel, Qianmen Hotel, and Yanjing Hotel are seven hotels in total; except the Great Wall Hotel which is five-star, the rest are all three-star. We want to change these hotels into foreign-related hotels through renovation, and try to get three-star hotels to four-star and five-star hotels.”

When Lin Zuhui heard about the Great Wall Hotel, some memories came to him. He remembered that the annex building of this hotel was probably the famous Heaven and Earth in later generations.Of course, it was rented out and had nothing to do with the Great Wall Hotel.

"I have no hesitation in supporting the development of the capital. After all, those overseas investors who come to the capital will definitely get better results if they have a good accommodation environment, so this cooperation is very good!" Lin Zuhui talked about the scene.

He doesn't need to directly discuss the details and interests, because there are men to discuss, and there are only a few hundred million small projects, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Wang Jianping said happily: "It is really a blessing for this project to have New Times Group join. Your hotel industry is doing very well. There are many industries abroad."

Lin Zuhui said modestly: "Wang Sheng is too much! But we have indeed invested a lot of money in the hotel group."

The two reached a cooperation agreement verbally, and the next step is to discuss the details between the two teams, and Lin Zuhui will naturally not participate.

After Wang Jianping left, Lin Zuhui called Li Mingtao, the vice president of New Era Hotel Group, and gave him the task.For such projects, Lin Zuhui's consistent principle is that if there is an annual profit of more than 8%, he is very satisfied. It can be regarded as earning a small amount of money and supporting the development of the motherland.

Many inland projects of New Times Group (Huaxia) belong to livelihood projects. Due to the need for urbanization, the government takes the lead and developers invest in the development of residential projects.The government guarantees that investors will have 15% to 20% of the annual profit, while the developer can have a stable profit, which is equivalent to limiting the developer's profiteering behavior, because it is a livelihood project.

Although the 15% profit is considerable, if the Hong Kong developer is allowed to develop the project with sole proprietorship, it will never be the only profit.

After explaining to Li Mingtao, Lin Zuhui asked again: "How is the development of the third- and fourth-tier hotels in the Mainland?"

Li Mingtao said: "Through the Miramar Hotel, we have already confirmed the development projects of 7 three-star hotels and 2 four-star hotels in second-tier cities such as Wuhan, Hangzhou, and Foshan, all of which are developed by leasing properties. .It is estimated that the cost will be recovered in four to five years."

Lin Zuhui immediately asked: "Is there any basis for recovering the cost in four to five years?"

Li Mingtao nodded and said, "Yes, the current occupancy rate of the three hotels we have opened is 86%. And with the economic growth in the Mainland, this ratio will increase."

He had to lament the strategy of the boss. After acquiring the Miramar Hotel, he immediately formulated a mid-to-high-end hotel plan in the Mainland, adopted the model of leasing properties, and quickly deployed the Miramar Hotel in some second-tier cities in the Mainland.

The third- and fourth-tier hotels are suitable for the current economic environment in the mainland, and the occupancy rate is much higher than that of five-star hotels.

"Well, then continue to look for suitable targets to open stores, and make a good layout of the mainland hotel market as soon as possible."

"Ok"

After Li Mingtao left, Lin Zuhui thought about it. Although the New Era Group only accounted for 34.5% of the Miramar Hotel, it still tried its best to assist Yang Bingzheng in its development.

Because Lin Zuhui knew that once Yang Bingzheng died, the Miramar Hotel would completely belong to the New Times Group.

As for the issue of low shareholding, he doesn't need to worry about it. After the financial crisis, it is still possible to increase his holdings to 49%.

There is no need to delist, so as not to hurt the feelings of partners!

Lin Zuhui has a motto, which has always warned himself: "Leave room for doing things, don't do things absolutely, everyone earns money, everyone shares benefits, so that people are willing to cooperate. If it is fair to take 10% of the shares, take 11% It’s okay, but if you only take 9% of the shares, the money will flow in.”
