Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui was quite happy in his heart, but he didn't show it, acting like it was a matter of course.

Next, Lin Zuhui accompanied Guan Jiahui to shop, and found that she really only shopped in high-end brands and luxury brands, and was not very interested in other brands.Of course, Lin Zuhui is not interested, except for his own brand.

He doesn't really want to wear his own brand, but wants to find out what can be improved through his own experience and wearing.

Of course, he didn't need any expensive clothes to enhance himself, so he was very casual in this regard.

Going shopping, shopping, dining, and playing, Lin Zuhui also rated his own shopping center, and the experience was very good.

……

1993 was an eventful year for Heung Kong Media.

For example, in June, Malaysian mysterious tycoon Guo Huonian bought a 27% stake in the English-language daily "South China Morning Post" from Murdoch at a sky-high price of 35 billion.

The "South China Morning Post" is equivalent to Xiangjiang's official media. Its sales volume is only about 10 copies, but its advertising costs are twice that of the Chinese version.

But the premium is so high, I believe there is another layer of ZZ involved in it. As the London government is about to withdraw from Xiangjiang, some commenters say that this is transferring the right to speak of public opinion.Of course, this right to speak out in public opinion has nothing to do with the mainland officials, it is just handed over to the Chinese.

After Guo Huonian took over the "South China Morning Post" (not just a newspaper, but a newspaper group), the editorial department of the "South China Morning Post" was very popular. The more than 40 key members of the South China Morning Post, many of whom are foreign editors, are a valuable resource.

The president of the "South China Morning Post" turned pale with fright, and hurriedly raised all salaries by [-]%, finally stabilizing the company.

Ma Chengkun is very proud. In recent years, although the Oriental Press Group has been listed as the second best-selling daily in Hong Kong, it is behind the "Daily Daily" in the popular newspaper "Oriental Daily".However, the gossip magazine "Oriental Xindi" has long surpassed "Ming Pao Weekly", ranking among the top three gossip magazines in Hong Kong; and now, Oriental Press has announced that it will spend a huge sum of 8000 million Hong Kong dollars to organize the English newspaper "Orient Express". Confront Guo's South China Morning Post.

Just when Ma Chengkun was complacent, his backyard caught fire, and Ye Yijian, the leader of his second gossip magazine "East Weekly", which imitated "Next Magazine" and "Apple Weekly", was killed by the fat man of "Apple Weekly". Poach away.

Ma Chengkun said in the media that "Eastern Weekly" has become regular, and the impact will not be great; editorial talents for English newspapers are hard to buy. He comforted himself with the words, "If you go for a treasure, you will get a string of beads."

Just when everyone thought the matter had come to an end, in mid-September, another big news broke out in the media circles. Lei Weipo of Ming Pao Weekly led a group of people and joined Oriental Newspaper, filling Ye Yijian's position. Ma Chengkun took a fancy to "East Weekly".

"Oriental Express" is a traditional gossip weekly, and its benchmark is "Mingpao Weekly"; while "East Weekly" is a gossip weekly model that appeared in the 90s, with a wide variety of information, not limited to gossip entertainment, comprehensive coverage of eating, drinking and entertainment leisure magazine.

Lei Weipo brought people to change jobs, which undoubtedly caused a huge disturbance in Xiangjiang. There are two reasons:

First, Ming Pao Group now belongs to Wanhui Media, and behind Wanhui Media is Xiangjiang's "Chinese President D". Ma Chengkun dares to stroke his beard, which makes people admire his bravery; It is a person with outstanding status, so naturally he will not use shady means at a lower price, this is everyone's understanding.

Second, Lei Weipo is the patriarch of gossip news, and this time it is even rumored that he joined "Eastern Weekly" with a salary close to [-] million yuan, setting a record for the highest salary in the media.

Generally speaking, those who are troubled are still happy to hear and see—how will Wanhui Media respond, will Lin Zuhui interfere in such a "small matter"?

In fact, Wanhui Media reacted very quickly, and it surprised many people—Wanhui Media announced the suspension of publication of the gossip magazine "Fresh", Ming Pao Group announced the suspension of publication of "Ming Pao Weekly", and the group no longer dabbled in gossip weekly; and the original team , have joined the entertainment news department of its other publications.

For a moment, people couldn't react!

Isn't it just poaching a few people, no matter what, it is still operating normally, and "Ming Pao Weekly" and "Fresh Weekly" are both profitable magazines, so they will stop if they stop!

Of course, a critic soon published an article: "The comic industry of Wanhui Media has already moved to Asia, and its annual net profit has surpassed that of the paper media; in addition, the identity of the boss behind it is itself not suitable for a gossip magazine. Now It is also logical to decisively suspend publication.”

Those who watch the show understand that Wanhui Media is already so strong. Last year, its net profit was more than 10 billion, and the comics industry accounted for more than 50%.

Lin Zuhuigui is No. 1 in Xiangjiang business, and he is the boss of nearly half of the artists in Xiangjiang. It is undoubtedly not very good to dig out the privacy of these artists.

Of course, although Wanhui Media no longer has gossip magazines, other daily newspapers and magazines still have entertainment news pages, and it is still possible to promote their artists.

Wanhui Media.

Zhao Han, the director and chief financial officer, is sitting on the sofa in Lin Zuhui's office, reporting work seriously.

In Wanhui Media's account, the lying cash flow has already reached as high as 16.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the stock price will not skyrocket if it is disclosed.

And by the end of the year, there is no problem with cash flow exceeding 20 billion.

After thinking about it, he asked: "Starting from December, we will gradually cash out the office buildings invested by the company, and strive to complete it in two to three months."

Zhao Han was shocked, and immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely arrange it!"

After the sharp fall in 10, Wanhui Media bought 20 billion office buildings as investment (the loan part has been paid off), and the current market value is about 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 200%. Compared with the increase of more than 25% in residential buildings, it is still worse. Fortunately, the rate of return is more than [-]% (when rent and interest are considered).

In this way, there will be 40 billion in cash next year. If it is disclosed, the stock will not be able to run towards more than 300 billion (in fact, it will reach 300 billion by the end of the year without disclosure)!

Of course, with so much money, it will definitely not be all dividends. Although Lin Zuhui holds 49.5% of the shares; however, Wanhui Media needs to develop, and is currently preparing for the game company - The Ninth City, and will soon start the "One Piece" project , but also to invest in a software company in Xiangjiang... and other projects.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui plans to distribute 20 billion in dividends, and reserve 20 billion for investment and cash reserves.

In fact, in recent years, although Wanhui Media's performance has been outstanding, because it has been investing, it has paid little dividends. As a result, the stock price is currently only in the early 200 billion, and it is barely squeezed into the ranks of blue-chip stocks.

Although he withdrew from the gossip market this time, Lin Zuhui still didn't worry about it. After all, he still controlled the largest communication and media company in Xiangjiang, and it was far from being provocative.

What's more, Wanhui Media has a secret game - that is, it holds 34.5% of the listed company of Zheng Jinghan, and Zheng Jinghan's "Next Magazine" is the No. [-] gossip weekly in Hong Kong. Recently, under the suggestion of Long Jingchang , preparing to publish a gossip-like daily.

Anyway, Zheng Jinghan will not come out, and Fat Li will also prepare a gossip daily in the next year or two, so it is better to let Zheng Jinghan take the lead.

Of course, with Lin Zuhui's current status, few newspapers would dare to stroke his beard—to publish his vicious gossip news; he just didn't want Fat Li to have too much influence in the media, that's all.

In fact, Fat Li didn't dare to provoke Lin Zuhui anymore. After all, when he robbed Giordano, Lin Zuhui used too many methods. The important thing is that Lin Zuhui doesn't behave like the older generation of tycoons.

Chapter 5 Twenty [Soft rice can also be eaten]

Time flies, and half a month passes in a blink of an eye.

Wednesday, April 10.

In the office, Lin Zuhui was looking at stocks on the computer. He had deposited 1000 million in his stock account.He doesn't really want to make money, but wants to return to the mood of stock trading in his previous life.

Although the family office and Hengjin Investment are all tens of billions of securities investments, they do not allow him to experience the fun of stock trading.

Therefore, he specially used his private account as a way to recover his 'lost mood'.

At the beginning of this week, the Xiangjiang stock market became hot. Today is the third trading day of this month, and the Hang Seng Index climbed to a historical peak of 8100 points.

Lin Zuhui found a characteristic of the Hongkong stock market, that is, the "speculation" is very strong, with rapid rises and rapid falls, and it is almost impossible to stay sideways for a long time.

The big A in the previous life has been trading sideways around 3000 points for seven years, which is another situation.

The Xiangjiang stock market is undoubtedly a paradise for 'speculators'. They get rich overnight and go bankrupt overnight. What they play is thrilling.

Lin Zuhui bought real estate stocks, but not blue-chip stocks, such as Hong Kong Industrial and Tsim Sha Tsui Real Estate. The gains are not bad, and he has earned more than 100 million so far.

But he soon discovered that the fun ended there!

Because he will not speculate in the short term like in his previous life, so naturally he will not experience real happiness.As for asking him to speculate in "ultra-short-term" now, he is simply taking off his pants and farting; knowing that there is still a 40% increase in the Hang Seng Index, how could he leave midway; .

Therefore, Lin Zuhui was interested in it for a while, but it soon became dull.

At the beginning of this month, Fei Peng released his second policy address, and the mainland immediately issued a statement—reiterating its reasons for firm opposition.The relationship between London and the capital has fallen into a trough, but the citizens of Xiangjiang have become accustomed to it. Your quarreling with you does not affect our chicness, and we are really used to it; after all, this is a matter at the national level. Although Xiangjiang people are helpless-many livelihood projects have been delayed. But nothing can be done.

So, let's dance and dance!

In addition, foreign capital continues to pour into the Hong Kong stock market, and it is believed that the increase this month may reach 20%, breaking through to more than 9000 points.

This is Lin Zuhui's analysis!

After working lightly for half a day, I asked Li Jiaxin to have dinner at noon.

Exchange Square.

Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin sat by the window of a high-end restaurant, enjoying delicious food, admiring the beautiful view of Victoria Harbor outside the window, and chatting.

Seeing that Lin Zuhui was always staring outside, Li Jiaxin said coquettishly: "Brother Hui, Victoria Harbour, I look good?"

"Of course not! I'm thinking about the land. When will I win the bid, so I can buy it and build a square that is taller and bigger than the Exchange Square. By then, we can sit and eat in our own property Well!" Lin Zuhui said truthfully.

At present, there are not many lands in Xiangjiang that can tempt him, and the Central Station of the Airport Railway is undoubtedly ranked first; as for other projects, he will not have this kind of mood. After all, he is now trying to let Chinese people buy real estate and become the world's largest commercial real estate. company.

There was no jealousy on Li Jiaxin's face, but she was overjoyed. Although she knew that this industry did not belong to her, the richer Lin Zuhui was, the more generous he was to her. She could understand this.

"That's really wonderful!" Li Jiaxin echoed Lin Zuhui.

Lin Zuhui looked at Li Jiaxin, and found that this woman seemed to have changed a lot over the years, and couldn't help but sigh that 'time' is really a good thing.

At this time, Li Jiaxin is at the age of youth and beauty. She is only 23 years old this year. It is hard to imagine that she is already the mother of a three-year-old child.After these women give birth, they are not like ordinary families, which will damage the women's appearance; due to good care and maintenance, plus other reasons, the appearance of these women does not fall but rises.

Li Jiaxin can't see anything yet, she is still young after all, but Guan Jiahui really makes Lin Zuhui have a great contrast; in "Once Upon a Time in Huang Feihong: The Lion of the Western Regions" in her previous life, she was 35 years old. It can be seen that she is getting older; but in this life, Guan Jiahui now looks like a little girl under 25, although she is 31 years old.

This made Lin Zuhui wonder, is his protein really a beauty medicine?

Li Jiaxin was very happy to see Lin Zuhui admiring her, but she changed the subject and said, "Brother Hui, did Sister Guan buy another luxury house, which is said to be No. 35 Deep Water Bay!"

I thought it was airtight, but the media still caught clues.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Well, she bought it with a loan, and she paid it off herself!"

Li Jiaxin looked at Lin Zuhui with an expression of disbelief, and said after a while: "Cut, you are willing to let her save money and repay the loan. I don't know you. You are very good to women, but there are many women!"

Lin Zuhui smiled, Li Jiaxin was either throwing a tantrum with him, or talking coquettishly, which made people feel good.

"Don't be envious, her investment appreciation space will not be very high, mainly because I want to take it down, but it is inconvenient."

Only then did Li Jiaxin nod her head. She didn't really want to quarrel with Lin Zuhui. She was jealous, but she just went to the end; she knew that if Lin Zuhui was angered, it would be 'painful' for this man to teach others with a stick. .

Seeing these women always talking about 'money', Lin Zuhui suddenly felt uncomfortable. Although he knew this was something he liked to talk about, he still hoped that women would love him more.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui suddenly said: "In case I go bankrupt that day, you have no legal relationship with us after all, and you don't need to be involved in my debts. At that time, I still want to live a rich life, so, Jiaxin, will you Take me in unconditionally?"

Li Jiaxin immediately said: "Of course, I will support you in the future, for the rest of my life!"

I don't know if this is true or not, but it makes me happy to hear it.

But then, Li Jiaxin also became serious, as if she was looking forward to the day when Lin Zuhui would really come true.

Li Jiaxin asked earnestly: "Brother Hui, if there is such a day, I say what if!"

Seeing Lin Zuhui nodding with a smile, Li Jiaxin had the courage to continue.

She continued: "At that time, I didn't raise you. If I let you, you can only choose to be with me. Is it possible?"

Lin Zuhui was taken aback, and immediately retorted: "You are not the only woman who is rich, and you still make such excessive demands!"

Li Jiaxin's small face fell into yearning, and she continued to say seriously: "But you don't have money, why are you so greedy! We all have money, so we must make excessive demands, let you choose one! Anyway, it's a hypothetical, you Just choose one carefully! Look at me, so young, beautiful, and so obedient."

I saw Li Jiaxin, showing off her peerless beauty in front of Lin Zuhui, making various peacock gestures, making people around look sideways for a while, and then lowered their heads. First, they felt that they were not worthy of Li Jiaxin, and secondly, I feel that I can't offend Lin Zuhui.

Lin Zuhui said angrily: "You are wrong. Even so, I am still popular among you guys. Why should I only choose one? You can eat all soft rice!" I couldn't help laughing.

His specialty is not only "money" is very long around the earth, there is another specialty!

With no money, relying on that specialty, he will definitely do well!

Li Jiaxin muttered: "You can't even coax, you can tell each of us individually!"

Lin Zuhui laughed and said: "At that time, if you make a series of confessions, the matter will be exposed, and I will not be fooled. But then again, you don't have to look forward to that day. If I am going to go bankrupt, the United States will go bankrupt."

Li Jiaxin's eyes were filled with little stars, and then she laughed.With this man's ability to make money, it is really impossible to refute this sentence.

The real rich will never go bankrupt no matter how they play.

For example, if a person has one trillion assets, he only needs to take out 100 billion to bet on you, and the capacity of the market will be about the same.The real bankrupt rich are those hollow rich.

Li Jiaxin can tell who is the "hollow rich man" at a glance. There is an allusion in the previous life. The boss in the heaven and earth in the mainland, under the introduction of Zeng Zhiwei, met Li Jiaxin. He was immediately shocked and wanted to pursue others.

Li Jiaxin used "hollow big guy" to describe him, and the Hong Kong media immediately reported it, ridiculing the poor boy from the mainland.

"Brother Hui, the stocks have gone up so much recently. The few stocks you asked us to buy have gained 10 points!"

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile, the market is so big, his women can naturally come in to get a share; so in mid-September, he took advantage of everyone's gathering, casually introduced a few stocks to them, and asked them to buy a few stocks. Tens of millions to play.

When the time comes, everyone will be happy if they earn 2000 million yuan.

After dinner, Lin Zuhui accompanied Li Jiaxin to the mall for another half an hour before they parted, and Lin Zuhui went to work in the company.

……

Lin Zuhui came to the ATV building, and when he passed the lobby on the first floor, he found that there were still foreign guests coming and going, which made him smile.

ATV's series copyrights are sold to more than 6000 overseas countries (a country may also have multiple TV stations to purchase), and it is expected to sell more than 5000 episodes this year, and the average price should be 3000 US dollars per episode.One year's TV drama copyright can make a profit of [-] million U.S. dollars, and Xiangjiang has no taxes, almost all of which are pure profits.

The vast majority of these dramas are Hong Kong-style dramas, accounting for about 7%; it can be seen that Hong Kong-style culture has spread.

In fact, this achievement is nothing, and we have to continue to work hard; after all, Lin Zuhui knows that when the Hallyu was popular in his previous life, the mainland bought 2002 Korean dramas in 62, and there must be more than 1500 episodes.

However, at present, Hong Kong stream dramas are dumped at low prices. The highest price is 8000 US dollars per episode, and 3000 US dollars per episode is also sold to others. Normally, an episode is around 5000 US dollars.After all, it is still promoting Hong Kong culture.

Lin Zuhui remembers that in his previous life around 1994, the Japanese came to the mainland to buy "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The mainland officials dared not bid, so they only dared to ask for 1 US dollars per episode (more than 80 episodes in total); I thought the Japanese would It was too expensive, but they didn't bargain at all, so they agreed immediately.

In this way, Little Japan is more willing to spend money on Chinese costume historical dramas and mythological dramas.Therefore, ATV is recently setting up a project "Journey to the West", which actually makes more money than Hong Kong dramas.

However, the cost of filming Hong Kong TV dramas is low, 1000-1500 million Hong Kong dollars can be used to shoot excellent Hong Kong TV dramas, and almost all of them make a lot of money.

ATV’s copyright income also includes variety shows. With American TV stations buying its copyrights, European, American and Asian TV stations have followed suit; a talent show reality show can be purchased by an average of seven or eight overseas TV stations.

Due to its high global popularity, ATV is also a 'lion's mouth open', almost no less than 200 million US dollars per copyright, mainly based on population and economy as the basis for negotiation.

Lin Zuhui came to an activity room in the ATV building, and the people inside greeted him one after another.

This is the project team of "Survival in the Wild". Lin Zuhui saw his former head of bodyguards, He Jun. After a year of various attempts, He Jun was already a little famous person in Xiangjiang.
