Hong Kong's new giants

Long Jingchang nodded, and said, "Well, the sales volume of magazines continues to rise, and the number of GOOD cards also has a tendency to exceed 400 million."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "Although the sales of GOOD cards are rising rapidly, I guess once the market is saturated and the enthusiasm of students fades, sales will inevitably decline!"

The three of them echoed this point of view one after another. After all, there are peaks and downhills in everything.

Lin Zuhui continued: "So, if the company wants to develop, we must not sit still. We publish too few magazines! However, if we start new magazines and daily newspapers, it will take too long, and it will be easy to be surrounded. After all, Hong Kong's media industry It’s too saturated. Therefore, we can only quickly complete the expansion of the media empire through acquisitions.”

The three of them obviously understood this truth. The boss put the cash cows away and listed them through backdoors. Isn't the purpose of rapid expansion!

"President Long, go get in touch with He Shizhu from "Daily Daily" and express our interest in acquiring it, and see if he intends to sell it!"

Sure enough, the three of them thought at the same time.

They have all thought about where Wanhui Media should start if it enters the daily newspaper industry. Undoubtedly, "Daily Daily" is the most suitable.Because although the sales volume of "Daily Daily" has exceeded 13 copies, it has changed hands three times.

In 1977, Tiantian changed ownership for the first time, and Liu Tian, ​​the major shareholder of Miaoli Group, invested 165 million Hong Kong dollars in Tiantian;

In 1984, Miaoli Group, which Liu Tian controlled, fell into a financial crisis, and Liu sold Tiantian publishing rights to Wei Jianbang;

In 1985, Wei Jianbang sold 7% of the shares to He Shizhu in July, and He became a shareholder of Tiantian in August, and Tiantian changed hands three times.

Several changes of hands illustrate a problem. Although the sales volume of this daily newspaper ranks among the top five in Xiangjiang, it is a flaw that it does not make money.In fact, Huang Yulang in his previous life bought 1987% of the shares of "Daily Daily" and the entire share of Tiantian Color Printing for 7700 million in early [-].

Zhao Han tried to ask: "Boss, where does the acquisition money come from? Could it be a rights issue to raise funds!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "Daily Daily can talk slowly, but the rights issue needs to be raised immediately. The current Hang Seng Index has broken through 1800 points, which is a good time! I plan to use 10 shares for 3 shares. For stock financing, if I use warrants, I can raise almost 6800 million yuan, and we can use loans to solve the remaining funds or make up for the company's profits."

Zhao Han is a professional financial background, immediately took over the task.

"Liang Botao and I are good friends. I will invite his Citicorp Investment Bank to assist in raising funds for this rights issue. You just need to learn more from your experience."

"Ok!"

After the three left, Lin Zuhui started to write on paper!

The acquisition of "Daily Daily" is nothing, after all, although "Daily Daily" is a direct competitor of "Oriental Daily", the sales volume of "Daily Daily" is about 13 copies, while the sales volume of "Oriental Daily Daily" is about 20 copies .

Therefore, Lin Zuhui is not reconciled to being the second child, he must work hard!

Soon, the strategy of "Apple Poison News" in his previous life appeared in his mind, and he planned to borrow it.

Hong Kong newspapers often use the phrase "a rooster crows when a rooster dies" to describe the frequent life and death of newspapers, and this is indeed the case.This time, Lin Zuhui intends not to take the usual path, but to use financial resources to pile up direct competitors.Wanhui Media is a listed company. He has warrants worth more than 4 million yuan (after appreciation), which allows the company to raise funds in the crazy stock market. It is expected to raise more than [-] million yuan a year.

Of course, "Tian Tian Daily" is not a direct competitor with "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily"; because "Ming Pao" is a newspaper for intellectuals and has a fixed readership; "Sing Tao Daily" is a newspaper for business, finance, Stock market news accounts for a large proportion and has a fixed readership.

The biggest competitor of "Daily Daily" is "Oriental Daily", as well as popular leisure newspapers such as "Xin Bao" and "Sheng Pao".

However, if "Daily Daily" learns from "Apple Poison News"'s methods of poaching talent with high salaries and building momentum, it will definitely affect the structure of the entire newspaper industry.

【PS：前世，在《苹果毒报》出版半年后（1994年），各大报销量均有所下降，《东方日报》从约40万降到30多万。《成报》从18.7万降到14万，《天天日报》、《新报》分别从17.4万、12.8万降至11万，《明报》则从10.7万降至8万。】

Lin Zuhui was arrested because of a traitor back then, so he paid special attention to the family history of the traitor, so in addition to not learning from being a traitor, he can still learn from his business methods.

As for the gossip weekly "Next Magazine", Lin Zuhui still intends not to dabble in it. Even if he does, he will take a gentle approach by referring to "Ming Pao Weekly" instead of forming any paparazzi.

The top priority is to have a daily newspaper of your own.

Soon Lin Zuhui wrote down the strategy outline, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face. This is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction; use the advanced strategy ten years later to defeat the current opponent.

And this time, for Wanhui Media's daily newspaper business, plus the acquisition funds, it is expected to spend more than [-] million yuan. Who can be more arrogant than myself!

He is not afraid of spending money. There is a lot of money in the stock market, but other newspapers are afraid. "Oriental Daily", "Cheng Pao" and "Xin Bao" are not listed, and their financial strength is extremely weak.

Although Sing Tao Group was listed, Hu Xian has been obsessed with real estate speculation since 1985 (purchasing a piece of land for more than 6 million yuan, and selling it for more than 8 million yuan a few months later, with a net profit of [-] million yuan), absolutely no intention of competing;

Jin Daxia is a good friend of Lin Zuhui, and he may have thought of retiring, and Ming Pao Group has its own regular customer base, so he will not participate in it either.Speaking of which, although the sales volume of "Ming Pao" is only 10 copies, it is not much less profitable than the 20 copies of "Oriental Daily". In addition, their "Ming Pao Weekly" is a sharp tool for making money, and it is indeed the owner of the money.

If Wanhui Media dominates the popular daily newspapers and Ming Pao Group in the future, it will be a well-deserved media giant in Hong Kong.

The influence of paper media will not diminish until at least after 2010, when the Internet age fully matures;

By then, Lin Zuhui has already transformed Wanhui Media, and he is still the media tycoon of Xiangjiang.

Although Xiangjiang is small, there are more business wars and stories than the vast mainland, isn't it?

Going to prison, going to prison, going to jail, that's the feature!

Chapter 1 Thirty [Snatch your LP, take your property]

Dreamworks Films, Pan Cheng and Cai Ning are reporting to Lin Zuhui.

"Boss, "Prison Storm" is currently being filmed, and it is expected to be completed by the end of February... Director Gao Zhisen has finished writing the script of "Rising Riches", and it is expected to start filming after the end of the year..."

DreamWorks' film shooting plan in 1986 included a total of three films "Prison Storm", "Rich and Rich", and "Tomorrow 2". According to this situation, two films can be completed in the first half of the year.

The director of "Prison Storm" has changed from Lin Lingdong to his own director Wu Yusen, and the screenwriter is still Lin Lingdong's brother Nan Yan (Lin Lingnan). He Jiaju, Zhang Yaoyang, Wu Zhixiong, Cheng Kui'an, etc.

"Wealth is Overpowering" is even simpler. Gao Zhisen's director and screenwriter were single-handedly selected, and DreamWorks offered him a high price, so he could find another assistant; what's more, the script has actually been roughly written by Lin Zuhui.

Independent film companies are the trend in the future. It is difficult for film companies with theater chains to grow as big as before. What's more, Lin Zuhui and Dickson Poon have a good relationship, and they are also "happy" to cooperate with Golden Harvest.

The just-successful "A Chinese Ghost Story" brought another 1200 million profits to DreamWorks, including Golden Harvest buying out the overseas screening rights.

Everything in DreamWorks is stable and good. Although the major theaters have swallowed up a lot of profits, and the overseas profits have been monopolized by Golden Harvest, at least they are very profitable.

After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui encouraged: "Okay, that's what our company wants to do. The products are high-quality goods. It doesn't matter if the quantity is small! By the way, I want to install a new character in "Rich and Rich". you!"

Without any expression on Pan Cheng's face, he said respectfully, "Okay!"

The boss opened a film company just for fun, and the purpose at the beginning should be to date Ms. Wang Zuxian. Sure enough, with "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zuxian became a first-line actress in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, and the salary for each film is as high as 25.

Thinking of this, Pan Cheng couldn't help thinking about the relationship between the boss and Manager Cai. Of course he knew that the two were lovers, so he was usually very polite to Cai Ning.

"Go ahead! Cai Ning stay!"

After Pan Cheng resigned, Cai Ning stood up from the sofa. This woman has a hot figure and is slightly fat, but she has a sweet and intellectual face. Lin Zuhui can't put it down.Otherwise, Lin Zuhui would rather spend time on those stars he likes, after all, isn't it exciting!

Another advantage of this woman is that she never gets jealous. After all, when she and Lin Zuhui got married, Lin Zuhui had already had hot fights with Guan Jiahui, Wang Zuxian and other women, and she was still the one who went to buy flowers and decorate the house.She was very clear about Lin Zuhui's feelings, but she just followed Lin Zuhui without complaint or regret.

This kind of woman is either stupid, or extremely smart, Lin Zuhui believes that she is the smart part!

Cai Ning came to Lin Zuhui's position, and instead of sitting in Lin Zuhui's arms, he sat on the desk.

"You little secretary is going to heaven? How dare you sit higher than the boss?" Lin Zuhui joked.But he honestly picked up Cai Ning's beautiful leg, threw the high heels aside, and played with the black silk beautiful leg while admiring it.

This woman is not afraid of the cold, she is actually wearing thin stockings.

"How dare I, isn't it to cater to the boss's preferences? How about it, I knew you were coming, so I specially changed it in the office." Cai Ning looked like he could pick and choose.

Lin Zuhui picked up his foot, put it to his mouth and smelled it, and said deliberately: "It's delicious!"

The woman finally became shy, and then lost her ladylike demeanor, picked up her feet and smelled them, regardless of the exposure of her inner thighs.

"That's right, a little taste is useless!" Cai Ning said dissatisfied.

When she saw Lin Zuhui's sly expression, she immediately knew that Lin Zuhui was just joking, so she directly put her legs in Lin Zuhui's arms.

"If you don't believe me, smell it again!"

If that woman is most likely to have something happen to her in the office, it is more likely that Cai Ning, who has received a higher education (Hong Kong University), has a dull heart under her sweet and intellectual appearance.

Lin Zuhui's heart was hot, and after playing with the black silk legs for a while, he opened his zipper...

An hour later, Cai Ning helped Lin Zuhui tidy up his clothes, and the blush on his face did not fade.

Just now, the two had an exciting scene in the office.

Fortunately, because Lin Zuhui rarely came to the office, and the company generally only had Pan Cheng and Cai Ning come to the office to report on work, it would not cause too much reaction.

Besides, the film company was originally where he picked up girls.

While enjoying Cai Ning's service, Lin Zuhui said, "Help me find a girl in Xinyi City, who will play the role of my younger brother in "Rich and Rich".

Cai Ning looked normal and said, "What's your name?"

"Li Zi, there is no representative work, it seems to be an extra, about 15 years old this year!"

"Ah, so small!"

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "What's the matter with Xiaodian, it's just a good time to cultivate! You behave well, and I won't treat you badly in the future!"

Nestling in Lin Zuhui's arms, Cai Ning said softly, "From now on, as long as you promise to accompany me twice a month, I will be satisfied! If you get married, I also hope to have a child of my own."

Lin Zuhui straightened his face, pushed Cai Ning away, and supported her shoulders with both hands.

Seeing Lin Zuhui's face change, Cai Ning was at a loss. She thought her request was too high!

"Remember, there are some things you don't need to ask, I will do it. The premise is that you must remain loyal enough to me, then you may get more than you imagined. You know, you can't compare to me in terms of intelligence , no matter how you play, you can't beat me!"

Get vaccinated before this woman oversteps.

Cai Ning nodded, and said pitifully, "Got it! My good boss!"

Only then did Lin Zuhui nod his head in satisfaction. Don't look at these women as pitiful, but what Lin Zuhui can give them is truly generous.

No matter what they feel wronged, it is a real blessing to be seen by them.

After getting dressed, Lin Zuhui sat on a chair, and Cai Ning had time to tidy herself up. Her stockings were torn and dirty, the underwear inside was also broken, and the clothes were a little wrinkled.

The important thing is that she still has some inconvenience in moving, which shows that the battle just now was fierce.

"Goodbye, my powerful boss, just wait for my good news!"

After the woman packed up, she put the trash in a plastic bag and took it away.

"Have you brought your underwear? If you don't, you will leave work!"

"I know, I know you care about me!"

"Don't scare my little beauty, I'm good at picking up girls, I don't need your help!"

"Don't worry, I know that the woman you like can't run away."

In this way, the two left, and Lin Zuhui had to rest for a while to recover his strength;

The action just now was really fierce. No wonder Cai Ning’s walking posture has changed. This is the first time he tried it in the office, and he didn’t expect it to be so beautiful.

Of course, DreamWorks can realize its own "dream", which is impossible for other companies.

Snatching Li Zi and launching "Oriental Daily News", Lin Zuhui's actions have had a great impact.

What Lin Zuhui likes to do gives people a sense of "reason", so this time "Oriental Daily" wrote the dinner between himself and Li Jiaxin's mother and daughter as the news of "the romantic tycoon picks three daughters". Let Wanhui Media directly send a lawyer's letter.

Of course it's useless, the boss of "Oriental Daily" is hiding on Taiwan Island, and the lawyer's letter sent to them is probably full of trash cans, and their boss has nothing to do.

But Lin Zuhui wants to give people a signal, I'm going to get mad!

Of course, Lin Zuhui felt that this gossip news had no effect on him at all!First of all, Lin Zuhui kept a certain distance from the three women. Secondly, Lin Zuhui was not married (and he was not afraid of getting married). Finally, there were so many gossips about him.

But he needs something to find a reason for his next business move.

……

One month after Wanhui Media went public, it released a rights issue plan: 10 shares for every 3 shares, and the price per share is 6.5 yuan.

At this time, Wanhui Media’s total share capital was only 6500 million shares. If 10 shares were issued for every 3 shares, it should raise 1.26 million yuan; however, Lin Zuhui used the warrant exchange, and the actual rights issue raised nearly 6500 million yuan.

After the rights issue, the new total share capital is 8450 million shares, and Lin Zuhui still holds 49% of the shares.

This fundraising was actually too hasty. Lin Zuhui originally wanted to wait for the "bull market" in the second half of the year to issue rights shares, which would be more cost-effective; but at present he can't bear the half a year, this is not his style.

Long Jingchang came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported the situation: "Boss, He Shizhu intends to sell "Daily Daily", and he asked you to give him an offer!"

As expected, "Daily Daily" is a bit tasteless, if you can make a lot of money by buying and selling, why not do it!

Lin Zuhui said: "He only has 75% of the shares?"

Long Jingchang nodded and said, "Yes, the remaining 25% of the shares are in the hands of the Wei family!"

"If we buy 75% of his shares, can we get the remaining 25%?"

"It's not difficult. As long as we become the absolute majority shareholder, although the Wei family is the founder, they basically don't work in the company now."

Lin Zuhui thought for a while, and said, "After we get 75% of the shares, we will use 5000 million yuan to upgrade Tiantian Daily; I'm not worried that the Wei family won't sell them, anyway, there is a way to dilute their shares."

Long Jingchang was taken aback, 5000 million yuan was used to upgrade, this must be a big investment!When the time comes, the Xiangjiang media will probably go crazy when they hear the huge sum of 5000 million yuan.

In fact, he doesn't know that 5000 million is nothing. Ten years later, "Apple Poison News" claims to run a newspaper with 10 billion, which is even bigger. Of course, this is an exaggeration to send New Year's greetings to his mother-exaggeration is at home, full of water .

"How about this, first contact He Shizhu with an offer of 6500 million and see how he responds!"

"Okay, boss!"

According to the theory, after one year, 75% of the equity is worth 7700 million. Lin Zuhui believes that he should be able to buy 7000 million.

But in this way, the company's funds are a little tight. Fortunately, the bank can borrow money.
