Hong Kong's new giants

Royal Fort Building, located in Causeway Bay, is an 18-story (including two-story basement) building with a property area of ​​up to 41 square feet. It was bought by Chinese Real Estate for about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars (around 1991), and then sold. Give Hengjin real estate.

In 2002, Lin Zuhui arranged Hengjin Real Estate Investment to carry out a large-scale renovation of the Fort Royal Building, and all floor areas were changed to "shopping malls" to become a high-rise shopping mall.

Causeway Bay is a shopping paradise in Hong Kong. With the expansion of Fort Wing's shopping malls, it will seize the retail market in one fell swoop.

Wang Lingyin said with a smile: "The Royal Fort Building is located in the retail area of ​​Causeway Bay. The overall price is higher than your THEONE. In this way, we exchange [-]% of the shares, and we are good sisters. I don't care about the price difference."

"Ah!" Li Jiaxin was surprised, and then looked at Lin Zuhui again.

For her, value comes second, and the name THE ONE mall really makes her very happy.

Lin Zuhui pretended to eat and turned a blind eye to Li Jiaxin's request for help.

Seeing this, Li Jiaxin could only face Wang Lingyin's gaze alone. Under the pressure of the doctor, she quickly gave up resistance.

"Well, then sister can't regret it!"

"What do you regret? They are all my sisters. If you cooperate, you can show the unity of our Lin family to others."

Guan Jiahui held back her laughter, Lin Zixia looked at Wang Lingyin in admiration, and even Lin Zuhui showed a gratified expression.

After the matter was handled 'perfectly', harmony was restored.

……

afterwards.

When Wang Lingyin and Lin Zuhui were alone, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Hui, do you think I'm a little narrow-minded?"

Lin Zuhui sat on the sofa with his arms around her.

"What's the matter! I really like to watch you play a palace fight, so that I can have a chance to train you, haha! However, I named it THE ONE, just because I think it sounds good."

Wang Lingyin said happily: "Then what do you think of my performance this time?"

"Very good, I am very satisfied!"

"Hee hee, with Jiaxin's IQ, there is no way she can play palace games with her. Of course, this woman is under your pressure, and she doesn't dare to play tricks. Naturally, she can only suffer a dull loss."

Lin Zuhui was stunned and said, "How do you know she has the talent and nature of 'playing'?"

Wang Lingyin said proudly: "I don't understand any of your women's personalities. Although Sister Guan likes money, she is not a troublesome woman; Zu Xian has a quiet personality... Sister Qingxia looks domineering, but she is actually a troublesome woman." Love brain, afraid of you..."

Great!

"Makes sense!"

"Hee hee, in fact, it is impossible for these women to commit themselves to other men. But my husband is not an ordinary man, so it is not reasonable to subdue us."

These words really won the hearts of Lin Zuhui, watch and appreciate!

……

afterwards.

"Brother Hui, is sister Ling Yin bullying?" Li Jiaxin asked Lin Zuhui coquettishly, holding Lin Zuhui's arm.

Lin Zuhui patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "I didn't bully you, this is a sweet treat for you, the Fort Royal Building is indeed more expensive."

Li Jiaxin went directly to Lin Zuhui's front, put her hands around Lin Zuhui's neck, and said closer, "But how do I feel, she is upset that I own the THE ONE building alone, she is too narrow-minded!"

Lin Zuhui pretended not to know and said, "Is that so? That's not okay. In this way, let's go and ask her if she is narrow-minded."

"No! I won't ask!" Li Jiaxin said with a look of fear.

If she was young, she would dare to compete with Wang Lingyin, but now she really dare not, and she herself surrenders to Wang Lingyin in her heart.

"Okay, exchange is exchange, you women are so narrow-minded, just a name!"

"Although you don't think so, I always think about it!"

Lin Zuhui looked at Li Jiaxin's pretty face, who was close at hand, and posted it.

After a long time, we separated.

"Okay, this matter has been settled satisfactorily, don't think about it! The two of you are together this weekend, and I will communicate with you again."

"I hate it, I knew you would do this trick!"

After some joking, the hidden dangers of the family disappeared.

Of course, Wang Lingyin already had a lot of power, and it was impossible for Lin Zuhui to oppose her on such a trivial matter.

……

Time flies, and it is 2004 in a blink of an eye.

After the New Year's Day, Lin Zuhui came to Jingwei Capital to receive Xiao Ma and his party from Penguin Company.

Penguin is going public soon, and Lin Zuhui is also looking forward to it.

The Penguin of this life will obviously not be listed at a valuation of around HK$70 billion, the reason being the success of the Penguin game.As Penguin Games successively represented "Adventure Island", "Bubble Hall", "Audition", and "Martin Run", they all achieved great success.

This is equivalent to doubling the valuation of Penguin, which is around 150 billion.

Coupled with the premise of selling ICQ for 82 billion US dollars, and Lin Zuhui is the major shareholder of Penguin, even 200 billion is no problem.

"Mr. Lin, hello!" Miss Xiao Ma greeted restrainedly.

Lin Zuhui nodded and invited everyone to sit down, accompanied by Liang Botao.

The main underwriter for Penguin's listing in Hong Kong this time is Peregrine, a subsidiary of Barings Bank, led by Leung Botao.

"What is the specific situation of Penguin's listing?" Lin Zuhui asked.

Liang Botao immediately said: "About 4.2 million shares will be issued, with a total share capital of 16.8 billion shares. We want to set the price per share at 9.8 Hong Kong dollars per share."

Lin Zuhui immediately calculated the market value in his mind, then shook his head and said, "It's a bit lower, 10.8 Hong Kong dollars is no problem."

Liang Botao showed a confident expression, and said: "I think so too. After all, ICQ is sold first, and Jingwei Capital is the major shareholder. The price of 10.8 Hong Kong dollars is considered conservative."

The price can go up, this will be decided according to the specific situation.

Brother Xiao Ma was dumbfounded, planning in his mind to raise more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars at once, Penguin's funds are simply not too sufficient.

At the same time, he also understands that Penguin can have this valuation thanks to the agency of four games from The Ninth City. Last year, the game business alone made a profit of 6 million RMB; moreover, Penguin Games has pre-ordered two more games from The Ninth City— - "Street Basketball", "Dungeon and Fighter", and Blizzard's "World of Warcraft". (Crossing the line of fire and handing over to Xishanju agent)

In fact, the game business has exceeded the value of QQ itself.

Lin Zuhui asked Xiao Ma: "Penguin Company must pay attention to technology, service, and even the strength of cracking down on external cheating in the operation of agent so many online games at once, otherwise it will be bad if users lose .”

Brother Xiao Ma immediately said: "Don't worry, Lin Sheng, Penguin Games has received a large amount of funds and strong support from Jingwei Capital since its establishment, and we have always maintained good operations."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I am always concerned about the development of QQ. Your team really shines in my eyes. It can be said that ICQ's team is not as good as yours."

Brother Xiao Ma was immediately flattered, and only thought Lin Zuhui was being polite, because he understood that although QQ has many innovations, there are many places that copied ICQ.If ICQ is not in the hands of this person, QQ troubles will continue.

Today, ICQ has been acquired by Microsoft. It is said that the Americans claim to enter the Chinese market. Although he is not worried, after all, QQ has already monopolized the domestic instant messaging software, but there is a curse after all.

"Mr. Lin has won the prize!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "QQ is indeed developing well. Of course, it can only be said in terms of QQ software. However, Internet companies must develop ecology in the end. The so-called ecology is an ecological chain. Relying on core business or user base, Vigorously develop other businesses to achieve the effect of monopoly, such as Microsoft.”

Everyone was focused, afraid to miss every word, including the Penguin team.

After all, Lin Zuhui is an Internet tycoon.

"QQ has the largest user base, and will soon have 50 billion funds, and there are many projects that can be developed."

"For example, Internet payment (QQ Tenpay), with the popularization of the Internet, online payment is a very convenient thing for Internet experience."

"For example, Internet literature, a certain Chinese website in China, is a very high-quality website. It is similar to the 'Sina Comics' we developed. If Penguin can acquire a certain Chinese website and integrate domestic novel websites, it will be able to Form an online literature publishing giant. The novels on the novel website not only have a VIP fee system, but also have copyrights, which can be made into movies and change animations. These are treasures.”

Shanda was taken away by Lin Zuhui, and Cheng Tianqiao was no longer the richest man in China, so he didn't know where he went.Doesn't it mean that a certain Chinese website does not have an owner, so Lin Zuhui thought of arranging a good owner for a certain point.

He is now the major shareholder of the Penguin company, and if he dares to allude to him in the "Hong Kong time travel" novel at a certain point in the future, he will be blocked directly, 404.

Brother Xiao Ma said excitedly: "Listening to Mr. Lin's words is really better than studying for ten years. Don't worry, we will definitely take action after we go back."

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What I said is just a suggestion. I still hope that you will do what you want to do first, and then consider what I said when you have the energy. After all, I am not an industry person."

Knowing that Lin Zuhui was being modest, Xiao Ma nodded and said, "Don't worry!"

After the dilution of shares this time, Jingwei Capital still holds 36% of the shares, which is considered to be quite high.

……

After the Lunar New Year, the Penguin IPO became a major event in the Hong Kong securities industry. Because Lin Zuhui was behind Penguin, the major shareholder (36%), and Penguin’s profitability was very good (about 2003 million RMB in 9), so it attracted a lot of attention. Crowds of people are ready to buy.

"Will the issue price of 10.8 Hong Kong dollars per share be too high?" Some investors not only want to ask this question.

"High? Do you know what the annual net profit of Penguin Games was last year? 6 million, accounting for about 40% of the mainland. The profits of other businesses are also 3 million RMB. According to the financial situation of 9 million RMB, Penguin Even if it is not on the market, it will be very nourishing.”

"Also, ICQ sold for 82 billion US dollars, so isn't QQ worth 25 billion US dollars?"

Soon, some voices of doubt disappeared. On the contrary, the citizens of Xiangjiang, relying on their pursuit of Lin Zuhui, queued up to apply for the form.

What surprised Lin Zuhui was that the richest people in Xiangjiang were not interested in the listing of QQ, and did not find Peregrine or Lin Zuhui to propose an internal subscription; on the contrary, many overseas financial institutions participated in the internal subscription, but the shares were not counted. Many, mainly Lin Zuhui's meaning - to satisfy the subscription of Xiangjiang citizens as much as possible.

Chapter 743 [2004]

Monday, October 3.

New Era Group headquarters.

Lin Zuhui sat in his office seat, looking at the stocks on the computer, very leisurely.It is hard to imagine that he is the chairman of the board of directors of many large groups, and he manages 40 global employees, but he is so idle.

In fact, Lin Zuhui has already laid out the perfect management structure of his company, and now he is more of a spiritual symbol.

New Times Group, Media Group, Octopus Financial Group, and LEIT Group are his four major group companies;

As for Xiaomi Technology, it is completely handed over to Zou Kaixuan. If she does well, she will do well, and Lin Zuhui will not interfere if she does not do well.

Lin Zuhui looked at the Penguin stock price on the computer, which had risen to 12 Hong Kong dollars per share, and nodded in satisfaction;

It can be regarded as a successful listing, and the market value has reached more than 200 billion, which can be described as very popular.

This market value is not an exaggeration. When Shanda was listed this year, its market value was 150 billion RMB;

The Penguin game is still more promising than the Shanda game in the previous life.

After withdrawing his eyes, Lin Zuhui leaned back on the chair and meditated.

Jingwei Capital is too eye-catching, investing in companies with great potential such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Penguin, Ali, Kingston, Activision Blizzard, etc. Once these companies have a market value of hundreds of billions in the future.

Then Lin Zuhui is the walking treasury.

Very troublesome!

So, he has to deal with it!

First of all, before the subprime mortgage crisis (2007.11), the stocks of Apple and Amazon should be cashed out, and the holdings should be reduced to 5%.As for the remaining 5%, holdings will continue to be reduced before 2015.

Of course, now the five women, Guan Jiahui, Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, Lin Zixia, and Monica, bought 911-0.5% of the stocks of Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft after the September 0.9 incident.

Secondly, Jingwei Capital holds the shares of Ali and Penguin, which will be very huge even after listing; therefore, Lin Zuhui plans to include most of the shares in the "Lin Zuhui Family Foundation" at that time, saying to the outside that he is his "pro-son" , using charitable funds to leave a fortune for the children of the direct family.

As a rich man of his level, there are too many ways to hide wealth, so there is no need to worry about money.

"Boss, here is the annual financial report and dividend plan, I'll show it to you." Liang Zhenxun put a document on Lin Zuhui's desk.

Lin Zuhui took the information and read it carefully.

Last year, New Era Group made a profit of HK$612 billion, an increase of 21%.

As the previous layout comes to fruition, the profits of New Era Group are soaring every year.

Even the mainland can contribute nearly 20 billion in profits every year, and it is still growing; of course, the proportion of the mainland in New Era Group's revenue is not high, only less than [-]%.

Times Shipping has become the biggest driving force for New Times Group's profit growth. The ships built in the early stage have been delivered one after another, and the shipping situation is getting better and better.

But in 2004, the global economy grew faster and the trade increased greatly, so the price of sea freight soared naturally.

简单的举个例子：到了2004年，一年租期的VLCC型油船平均日租金高达55000美元/天，好望角型散货船平均日租金高达61000美元/天。而在2003年，这两型船舶的平均日租金分别为34000美元/天和31000美元/天。

The nearly doubled increase shows how hot shipping is now.

This is not the end. When the shipping cycle comes, it is normal for the price to increase several times.

According to Lin Zuhui's guess, in the shipping situation from 2004 to 2008, not only the price has increased several times, but also there is not enough ships, so there is no need to worry about the situation where there is a price but no market.

The other industries of the New Times Group have also experienced significant growth, except for the real estate development of Heung Kong.

"The dividend payout involves 220 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not bad, and I believe investors will be very satisfied." Lin Zuhui put down the information and said.

Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "I must be very satisfied. You must know that the dividends paid by other companies this year may be cut in half compared to last year, or even dividends in scrip. After all, last year Xiangjiang Real Estate and the economy suffered from SAS damage. We New Times Group's business is mainly distributed globally, so the impact is not very big, to put it bluntly - it is to earn money from abroad and spend it on Xiangjiang investors."
