Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I believe in the strength of ATV Group, this ambitious work will definitely be popular all over Asia, and even have influence in Europe and America!"

There is no need to question the creative strength of the ATV Group, so Lin Zuhui did not interfere with the script (he also forgot a lot), and the song "Accompany you to see the meteor shower" can sing a few words, but there is no need to be the same as the previous life, because the creative level of the ATV Group Higher, it has many creative masters, which have been tested by the market.

"Yes, we will definitely work hard! It is expected to be officially filmed in the second half of this year and broadcast next year!"

"Okay! Don't we have "My Fair Princess 2" and "Miss Mermaid" this year...these are big ambitions!"

Lin Zuhui probably knew about ATV's drama plan, after all, he would come to the company for half a day every week.

"Um"

At this time, Lin Zuhui was very much looking forward to it. Once the Hong Kong government's cultural policy plan came out, ATV would immediately come up with a popular Asian-level work (1999), which just happened to give South Korea a lot of prestige.

In the previous life, after the Korean Bangzi formulated the "Cultural Nation", it was not until two years later that top-level works began to come out!

Of course, Hong Kong's "Cultural Revitalization" has been going on for six or seven years in this life.

Chapter 621 [Buy, buy, buy]

Later, Pan Cheng, president of DreamWorks, came to Lin Zuhui's office.

DreamWorks has made several classic movies in recent years, and they are taking the high-quality line, which is different from Wang Jing who makes a lot of bad movies every year (it is said that it needs to raise talents to make so many).

Of course, the success of DreamWorks cannot be replicated. Firstly, DreamWorks has the capital to shoot Hollywood-style blockbusters, and secondly, DreamWorks also has very good IP.

In recent years, the films shot by DreamWorks include: "Resident Evil 1 and 2", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "The Matrix", "Fast and Furious", "My Sassy Girl", "The Storm King" and so on.

All big-investment movies have all returned their capital and generated a certain amount of profit.Of course, there must be a difference between the level of filming and Hollywood, but copycat Hollywood also has a market in Asia, not to mention that "The Matrix" was released in the United States and won a box office of 3800 million US dollars.

"boss"

"Well, sit down!"

Then, Lin Zuhui asked: "What movie are you making recently?"

Pan Cheng said in his heart, the boss thinks of DreamWorks. At first, the boss discussed it with him twice, but he didn't mean it in the past year.Fortunately, DreamWorks already has a lot of IP, which can shoot sequels.

"Planning to shoot "The Matrix 2""

"So it's not ready yet?"

"It's in preparation, the script has already been written!"

Lin Zuhui heard the words and said: "Since we have only come this far, let's stop first. I recently received a good idea, you let DreamWorks prepare this idea!"

Pan Cheng was immediately excited, because most of DreamWorks' top-grossing films in recent years were hand-picked by the boss.Now DreamWorks shoots 1 or 2 blockbuster films every year, almost all of which are the boss's idea.Even "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "The Hero of the Wind and Cloud Dominate the World" are all ready-made IPs of their own company and brother companies.

"Okay, we must concentrate on shooting first!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Probably two men with confused identities are the undercover agents of the police and the underworld respectively. After a fierce wrestling, they are determined to find their own stories. Specifically, the club boss and the police arrange respectively... ...This movie does not pursue Hollywood-style elements, but starts with twists and turns and bizarre psychological confrontations. In addition to a large number of entertainment elements, there are some thought-provoking things related to philosophy...The movie is called "Infernal Affairs" !"

Pan Cheng understood instantly, and wrote it down while saying: "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely send out high-quality products! This idea is very creative, and it is a little bit similar to the "Face Changing" back then, but the face changing in that movie is obviously unrealistic. The method of sending undercover agents to each other is much better."

Isn't this nonsense, "Infernal Affairs" in the previous life was almost a bright light for the decline of Xiangjiang movies, and it has been running for a few years.The movie itself was released in dozens of countries, and Hollywood bought the right to remake it, even though it cost less than 200 million US dollars.

Lin Zuhui also said: "Xiangjiang movies need to be careful. After all, Hollywood-style commercial blockbusters just support scenes and cannot change the overall pattern of Xiangjiang movies. I hope this movie can change the previous impression of gangster movies and gangster movies. Loyalty, grievances and hatred are put first, but the emphasis is on portraying the psychological changes of the characters."

While recording, Pan Cheng said: "The boss is right. Facts have proved that Hong Kong films must make changes, just like the Hong Kong music scene before the appearance of HK-POP, and Hong Kong dramas before the appearance of Hong Kong stream dramas. They have all gone downhill. In the past few years, Xiangjiang films have been affected by piracy, impacted by Hollywood movies, and local films have not lived up to expectations. It is really a sunset. Although DreamWorks has shot several classic movies, it was not suitable for other film companies in Hong Kong at that time. Everyone If you want to learn, you can do it.”

Lin Zuhui nodded. Pan Cheng was right. When he decided to imitate the Hollywood blockbusters of his previous life, he wanted to keep the "Dreamworks" brand; although these films were very successful, they didn't seem to have any effect on promoting Xiangjiang Films, because no one How dare you throw money like this.

"By the way, Liu Weiqiang can be invited to create this movie together. The director can also ask him, and the leading actors can look for Tony Leung and Andy Lau."

"Okay, I took note!"

After Pan Cheng left, Lin Zuhui was thinking, should he plan to copy the Korean Bangzi's movie from his previous life?

Of course, Bangziguo's "Mingliang Sea Battle" and "Flying Taiji Flag" are all jokes. After all, a few Korean ships fought a "village battle" to make a national pride. As for "Taiji Flag" Although "Flying" is about human nature, but with the performance of Bangzi Kingdom in that battle, the flag could not fly at all.

Lin Zuhui would rather plagiarize "Han River Monster", "Train to Busan", "Snowpiercer", "Parasite", etc., but the timeline is still a bit early, so don't worry.

And once "Infernal Affairs" is successful, it can extend a system and shoot some very good movies, such as "The Lonely Agent" and "Daisy" and other similar movies.

While thinking about the problem, Lin Zhilin came to his office to refill his tea again, and Lin Zuhui recovered immediately.

"If I date other women, will it be uncomfortable for you to follow?" Lin Zuhui asked suddenly.

This is a very important question, after all, the personal assistant will know a lot about him, maybe a little more than his wife and concubines.Of course, Lin Zuhui would try his best to prevent Lin Zhilin from seeing his wife and concubines, at least for now.

Lin Zhilin still said in a businesslike manner: "No, I'm the boss's assistant!"

Lin Zuhui looked at this woman seriously, revealing a playful look.

Lin Zhilin was quickly defeated, made a cute grimace, and then said softly: "I really can't, I will cherish this position as a personal assistant, you don't have to worry about me... Really, it's better than being accepted by you." Send them to Canada!"

Lin Zuhui's face turned 'dark', and he said: "I was the one who was assigned, obviously he resigned from me, and he is going to study!"

Seeing Lin Zuhui's expression, Lin Zhilin immediately walked to his side, rubbing Lin Zuhui's temples with a pair of slender white hands, and then said in a begging tone: "I'm sorry, it's my fault!"

Lin Zuhui's bones were almost brittle all of a sudden, and he stretched his hand into Lin Zhilin's thigh again, and pinched it.

"Ah" the beauty moaned softly after receiving the porcelain muscle.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Well, you have passed the probationary period, and you will officially become my personal assistant. Remember to ask Ah Fang more about your work."

Lin Zuhui has many secretaries and assistants. For example, Li Ke can be regarded as his secretary and his manager, but he will not go abroad with him, because Li Ke will serve as a contact point in Xiangjiang. Lin Zuhui's itinerary and global contact information Wait, in case there is any emergency in Hong Kong that requires Lin Zuhui to return to Hong Kong to deal with it.

Later, Lin Zuhui had many assistants, and he took two with him every time he went abroad.

To be honest, Lin Zhilin's personal assistant is to take care of Lin Zuhui's life, and she doesn't need to contact her at work.

"Really?" Lin Zhilin said happily.

Lin Zuhui smiled and motioned her to climb up and get closer. The woman thought that Lin Zuhui was going to whisper to her, so she didn't suspect him.

As everyone knows, when the woman did so, Lin Zuhui's eyes immediately fell on the front of her white shirt, and then through the thin slit, the lace bar inside was looming, and a hook and tunnel were clearly revealed.

Good shape!

"Boss, does it look good?" Lin Zhilin found that Lin Zuhui's eyes were wrong, and immediately said coquettishly.

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Xiao Mian, you've crossed the line!"

The implication is that you are my assistant, how can you seduce me with words!

Lin Zhilin blushed slightly, and immediately knew that she had lost her composure. The two had an agreement that if she wanted to become Lin Zuhui's assistant, Lin Zuhui could only cross the line, and she could not.Although the conditions were harsh, but thinking that she could always be by this man's side, she agreed unconditionally.

This man has a mysterious magic power that makes women unable to stop him!

"No, I asked the boss 'does my clothes look good?', if it doesn't look good, it means that the uniform is not suitable for me, I have to re-order. After all, the boss has no female assistants, so our assistant team can't do well. It's a place!" Lin Zhilin said quickly, 'preserving her safety'.

Although she knew that this man was 'molesting' herself, she still had to maintain the demeanor of an assistant.

Lin Zuhui looked at the "Sister Zhiling" who was close at hand, then printed it and sucked it up.Then, he pulled her into his arms again and lightly pouted her.

Throughout the whole process, Lin Zhilin showed an appearance of "letting the king do what she wants", which is what men love or not.

In her previous life, because she changed her surname to 'Hei Ze', I don't know how many fans in the mainland have hated her because of love, but her essence is still being called really beautiful, really sexy, and a real goddess.

Lin Zuhui finally stopped in time. Seeing that Lin Zuhui stopped, Lin Zhilin quickly got up and stood aside to tidy up her clothes. Her cheeks were flushed and she was instantly charming.

To be honest, being able to kiss Lin Zhilin Fangze made Lin Zuhui not interested in 'Bodo' at all.After all, Bodo is just a "Dark Zhiling", with only [-] to [-]% appearance, and Lin Zhilin has a good figure, not to mention cultural literacy, words and deeds, etc. Lin Zhilin is the best.

Lin Zuhui's second-generation girlfriends also appeared one after another, Lin Zhilin, Fan Binbin, Lin Xinru...

……

In early March, Lin Zuhui's private plane arrived in Bangziguo. This time he came to South Korea, but he was full of goodwill.

His first stop was to inspect Hyundai Group. Chung Mong-heon, chairman of the board of Hyundai Group, received Lin Zuhui and his party at its headquarters. Many executives who came to Korea with Lin Zuhui this time came to inspect and take the lead.

The reason why it is called the first stop is that Lin Zuhui should remember that South Korea only lifted all kinds of restrictions on foreign investment around the middle of this year, and the stock market bottomed out at that time; therefore, it will take a little time for the country to buy the bottom.

"Mr. Lin, welcome to Hyundai Group!" Zheng Mengxian stretched out his hand and bowed his waist again, looking very 'Japanese'.

He speaks English and has translators, obviously attaching great importance to Lin Zuhui's visit.After all, Lin Zuhui's influence is no less than that of a modern group.

Lin Zuhui responded politely: "It's a great honor for me to come to Korea's largest consortium for investigation. Chairman Zheng Mengxian is too polite!"

Fluent in Korean, can be considered polite.

Zheng Mengxian said in Korean in surprise: "I didn't expect that Mr. Lin's Korean is so fluent. It's really an honor for our Great Cold Kingdom!"

TUI!I was originally used to pick up girls, so it's none of your business!

After being polite, the two sides switched to English to communicate, after all, Lin Zuhui's subordinates could not understand Korean.

After everyone's introduction, Zheng Mengxian took everyone to inspect the headquarters of Hyundai Group.

This time when he came to Hyundai Group, Lin Zuhui brought Yuan Tianfan, Morris, the president of 'Times Shipping', and several senior executives.

Finally, everyone came to the meeting room and started the topic.

Lin Zuhui first praised: "It is said that the Korean shipbuilding industry has a lot of orders this year, and our 'Time Shipping' also needs a large number of ships to expand business."

Why did South Korea's shipbuilding industry increase during the financial crisis?

It turned out that the depreciation of the Korean won, coupled with the Asian financial crisis, greatly reduced the shipbuilding price in South Korea, and European and American shipowners saw this and naturally wanted to take advantage of the low price to build ships.After all, at this time, South Korea's shipbuilding industry has almost caught up with Japan.

At the same time, South Korea's shipping companies are heavily in debt, coupled with shrinking business, so they urgently need to inject funds to revive the company; for this reason, a large number of Korean shipyards and shipping companies have sold "second-hand ships" at very low prices.

Based on these reasons, Times Shipping does not need to wait until the trough in 1999 to buy a new ship. After all, it takes about two years to build a new ship.

As for Times Shipping, it is also planning to buy second-hand ships from South Korea. This is also the reason for this. It wants to take advantage of the depreciation of the Korean currency and the financial crisis to get some cheap goods.

As for why not go to the Mainland to order ships?

Times Shipping also has this plan, but there must be fewer orders. To put it simply, if South Korea’s annual production of ships is 1000 million tons, at this time the mainland is only about 250 million tons, which is only 25% of others; the side shows that some high-tech ships Inland shipyards still won't work.

If the technology is sufficient and the price is reasonable, Times Shipping will indeed consider mainland shipyards.

Times Shipping needs about 1000 million tons of ships in the past few years (both new and old ships), and the quantity is very huge. Based on the current price of about 1 tons of new ships and 900 million US dollars (old ships are cheaper), all new ships are 90 billion Around US dollars, it can be called a huge investment.Of course, it may be more than this tonnage, but it is certain that the proportion of old ships is also very large, and it is unlikely that new ships will exceed half.

The reason why Lin Zuhui dared to invest so much is that besides the huge cash flow of the company, the business is also planned to be acquired. For example, Times Shipping has already set its sights on the largest established shipping company in South Africa. Another thing, Times Shipping will also expand the "chartering business" , the mainland is a major customer of chartering ships.

Generally speaking, after 2001, as long as you have a ship, your business will be fine.In fact, shipping has recovered a lot in 2000. If it weren't for 911/[-], this round of shipping cycle would have started earlier.

Zheng Mengxian immediately said proudly: "Mr. Lin is right. Our Korean shipbuilding technology is comparable to that of Europe and the United States. In addition, our shipbuilding costs have dropped significantly this year, so Korean shipyards are very busy."

He didn't mention Little Japan, apparently thinking that South Korea's shipbuilding industry has surpassed that of rival Japan.

Lin Zuhui pretended to be surprised and said: "This... will we queue up for too long to order ships? After all, our time shipping plans to order ships with millions of tons!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of executives of Hyundai Group opened their eyes wide and looked at Lin Zuhui in disbelief.After all, the annual shipbuilding tonnage of Hyundai Group is only more than 200 million tons.

Zheng Mengxian said even more excitedly: "Mr. Lin, you came at the right time, and the delivery of the order will not exceed 2001! The millions of tons you said is..." He was afraid of offending others, so he didn't dare to question it, but he Some don't believe it.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "No less than 200 million tons. In fact, our group needs to buy 1000 million tons of various ships within three years."

Zheng Mengxian could only bite his tongue to wake himself up, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, our Hyundai Group will definitely treat valued customers like you seriously."

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile, and then asked Morris, a professional, to talk about the type, tonnage, and delivery time of the ships needed by Times Shipping.

The type, tonnage, delivery time, etc., Lin Zuhui and the senior management of Times Shipping have carefully discussed, in line with Lin Zuhui's general outlook, and then according to the needs of the surrounding market.

The meeting went on for a long time, but it was discussed by the high-level officials of both parties. Of course, today is only a preliminary cooperation agreement, and more professional people will be needed to bargain in the future.

But what is certain is that Times Shipping will order about 1998-200 million tons of ships in South Korea in the first half of 300, and the price will be in the range of 20-30 billion US dollars.

During the period, Lin Zuhui said to Chung Mong-heon: "Chairman Chung Mong-heon, our Times Shipping wants to invest in the second phase of Gwangyang Port in South Korea. We want to invite Hyundai Merchant Marine to cooperate with us. I also hope that you can connect with the Korean Port Authority."

Shipping alone is not enough, we have to invest in ports.

This year, Times Shipping has acquired the Port of Thames in the UK, and is considering the acquisition of ECT in the Netherlands (which holds the Port of Rotterdam); there will be ports in North America, South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia next.

Of course, many ports cooperate with local consortiums. South Korea is a relatively xenophobic country (national pride), and Xiangjiang is also an xenophobic area (local chaebol monopoly).

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of ordering ships, it happened to discuss a cooperation agreement for South Korean ports.

Zheng Mengxian agreed without hesitation, and said: "Of course there is no problem. We in South Korea welcome foreign investment. We especially welcome global groups like New Era Group. The first phase of Gwangyang Port will be completed this year. The government does not know when the second phase will be carried out, but Mr. Lin, please rest assured that we can reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible, and then propose to the Port Authority to develop this project, and there will be no major obstacles.”

Ports are not worth much, unless the world's top ten ports, Gwangyang Port is the second largest port after Busan Port in South Korea, but it is also the best port to enter.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Then it's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

When he came to South Korea this time, what Lin Zuhui wanted was to be full of goodwill, because after May, he would light up the butcher knife and make acquisitions in South Korea.

Of course, this is what the South Korean government is happy to see. After all, this country needs foreign capital to enter.

In fact, in May, Lin Zuhui mainly wanted to buy some promising stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Amore Pacific; there is no possibility of hostile takeover, and even if there is an acquisition of a company, it must be 'taking advantage of others' bona fide acquisition.
