Chapter 573: The Richest Man in Hong Kong (Ask for Subscription)

Han Jin spent four hours presenting a wonderful concert for fans. ≧ top novel,

When he returned backstage, everyone couldn't help but applaud him and praised him for his amazing performance!

The hot girls who were in charge of dancing wildly during "party time" frequently threw flattering eyes at Han Jin, and they almost walked over and got tired of him. Looking at their appearance, it seems that as long as Han Jin hooks his hand, they can dedicate themselves to him at any time.

However, what is destined to disappoint them is that Han Jin has never been interested in these women.

"Congratulations, Han, that's amazing! I've been in charge of so many concerts, and this one of yours is the best I've ever seen. Thomas congratulated Han Jin, "I think tomorrow's newspaper will praise you." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Han Jin said with a smile.

"If the next 21 concerts can maintain the same level, I would recommend you to become a senior guest of LIVE-NATION." Thomas said again.

"Thank you." Han Jin smiled and nodded.

Live-Nation is the world's largest concert promoter, producing nearly 30,000 concerts, stage performances and motorsport events each year.

They have a global presence, especially in the Western world, and almost all the famous singers have worked with them. Of course, as soon as the number of people is large, they must be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The high-level VIPs mentioned by Thomas are the most well-known artists in the world. It seems that Michael. Jackson, Queen, Paul. McCartney, Sting, Phil. Collins and so on. Their appearance fees are often in the millions of dollars, and their annual tour revenues are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Han Jin is not the most well-known artist in the world in terms of popularity alone. But his stage presence has greatly increased his points. Because he can afford a concert of 50,000 people like these superstars.

The larger the number of spectators, the more revenue from tickets and merchandise, so Thomas is confident that he will be able to secure the VIP status for him. And it can set him a sky-high price of millions of dollars a show.

Han Jin's current value is only 300,000 pounds per show, so he is naturally very happy to hear Thomas say this. Although money is nothing to him now, knowing that his worth has increased still makes Han Jin very proud.

……

As Thomas said, the next day's newspaper did report on Han Jin's concert, and the reviews were very good. "The atmosphere is hot!" "The fan response has been overwhelming!" "Singing and dancing!" And so on and so on appear very frequently. Especially the dance that Han Jin danced. It has received the greatest attention.

The media praised him as a "dancing machine", "the king of dance", and praised him for his unparalleled dances, especially the "ghost dance" at the end. Jackson's moonwalk was even more exciting.

The word-of-mouth of fans and the wide coverage of the media have made Han Jin's concert highly praised and concerned, and his next concert has been held more and more smoothly.

London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Han Jin was welcomed by fans everywhere he went, and his singing voice. His dancing and his performances made them fascinated and delighted.

Han Jin's popularity in the UK has also skyrocketed with the success of the concert, accompanied by a surge in record sales, advertising endorsements, TV invitations, and newspaper interviews, like snowflakes. There are countless of them, so that Han Jin is also busy. Of course, income is also skyrocketing.

But none of this compares to the money he made in the Plaza Accord.

At the end of September, the United States, Japan, France, Germany, and Britain finally signed the "Plaza Accord," stipulating that the governments of the five countries would jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market to induce the exchange rate of the US dollar to depreciate against major currencies in an orderly manner, and in particular, the yen and the mark should appreciate sharply to recover the overvalued US dollar price in order to solve the problem of the huge US trade deficit.

After the signing of the "Plaza Accord". The above-mentioned five countries began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and sold a large number of dollars in the international foreign exchange market, which then formed a selling frenzy among market investors, resulting in a sustained and substantial depreciation of the dollar.

In September 1985, the U.S. dollar fluctuated against the Japanese yen around 1 U.S. dollar to 250 yen. In less than three months after the agreement was signed, the dollar quickly fell to around 200 yen per dollar, a drop of 25 percent.

Han Jin made huge returns by hoarding the appreciation of the Japanese currency and shorting the US dollar in the international foreign exchange market.

In fact, the Plaza Accord was a joint effort by the United States, Britain and France to "shear sheep" on Japan and ease its own economic pressure by forcing the yen to appreciate.

Therefore, since the 70s, Japan's export trade surplus with the United States has increased year by year, causing a huge trade deficit for the United States, and Japan has become the largest creditor of the United States.

In order to alleviate its own economic pressure, the United States and many countries have forcibly intervened in the foreign exchange market, causing the dollar to depreciate sharply. Because Japan is the largest creditor of the United States, the depreciation of the dollar has caused Japan to suffer huge losses.

However, although Japan is economically strong, it has to rely on the United States in the military field, so it has no power to resist under the pressure of the United States, and has no choice but to agree to the conditions of the United States, which will make the Japanese dollar appreciate.

As a result, within three months, the yen appreciated by 25 percent, and within three years, that figure had increased to 50 percent. The equivalent of hundreds of billions of U.S. bonds held by Japan has lost a quarter of its value in three months, and half of its value in three years.

Han Jin shorted the dollar in the foreign exchange market and hoarded the appreciation of the Japanese currency, although he felt that he had done it very secretly, but in fact, he did not hide it from the eyes of those financial predators on Wall Street.

However, the Plaza Accord is already imperative, otherwise the US economic and trade deficit will continue to widen, the deficit will continue to grow, and the US government will face the crisis of bankruptcy due to insufficient finances.

Moreover, the "Plaza Accord" was originally a joint shearing of Japan's wool by the United States, Britain and France, and the wool came from Japan's fat sheep. For many predators on Wall Street, it's just one more person to eat, and they can still eat with a lot of brains.

And they have been studying Japanese wool shearing for nearly ten years. Compared with the losses caused to them by the postponement of the "Plaza Accord", Han Jin's electric light was just a drop in the bucket for them, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

You must know that the losses caused to Japan by the Plaza Accord as a whole are as high as 800 billion yen. That's $50 trillion, or about two years of Japan's gross national product.

With such a big piece of cake, Han Jin only shared a little profit and made tens of billions of dollars, and he couldn't compete with those capital predators at all. But just a little bit of it has already made Han Jin almost dying.

"Even Li Jiacheng may not be able to have more money from me now." Han Jin couldn't help but think.

Remove the commission paid to Vinylon Investment Brokerage. After deducting the interest payable to the bank, Han Jin finally had 26 billion US dollars left, which is about 202.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

According to records, in 1986, the top 10 consortia in Hong Kong were:

1. Li Ka-shing 34.3 billion 6 and Guo Desheng 10.2 billion

2, Keswick 21.2 billion 7, Zheng Yutong billion

3, Bao Yugang 19.6 billion 8, Li Shau Kee billion

4, Kadoorie 18.7 billion 9, Chen Zengxi billion

5, Shi Huaiya 13.4 billion 10, Run Run Shaw 100 million

Han Jin's net worth of 202.8 billion Hong Kong dollars is higher than the sum of the top ten consortia.

This is already an unimaginable number, even on the list of the world's richest people, Han Jin can be at the top.

suddenly had such a large amount of money in his hand, and it felt quite unreal to Han Jin.

Such a large sum of money. Even if you don't have to care about anything, just put it in the bank to eat interest, the annual income is as high as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and you really don't have to worry about food and clothing if you are lame.

However, he did not show any fanfare, and continued to tour the UK.

When there is a certain amount of money, it is just a string of numbers for him, and it is difficult to get him excited anymore.

On the contrary, stage performances can always make him passionate, so although Han Jin's current net worth. Even if you don't perform anymore, you can't starve to death at all, and you can afford to pay liquidated damages. But he still wants to stay on stage.

This phenomenon is like those millionaires working as cleaners and handsome young men driving BMW cars to deliver couriers, rich and capricious.

In fact, in addition to enjoying money, what is more important is that people have the capital to choose the life they want. Many people are forced to live because they have no money and because of economic pressure. Often, the life you live is not what you want.

For example, some people may like to paint, but because painting makes less money than a stable job, they can only work step by step, and cannot pursue their ideals. But if he can keep himself fed, he can choose to continue painting. Live the life you want.

What Han Jin wants has never changed, he has always dreamed of being able to stand on the stage and sing. Now, although he has a lot of money, this dream has not changed.

……

From mid-September to mid-October, in addition to holding concert tours, Han Jin also appeared on many TV stations to do programs, and also took over two commercials, one is an advertisement for tea and the other is a clothing advertisement.

In the UK, tea is a more popular drink than coffee, and the UK has always had the habit of drinking afternoon tea. The habit originated in the Victorian era and has been around for hundreds of years. Therefore, endorsing tea in the UK is like endorsing Pepsi in the United States, and it is impossible for a star who is not a popular star to be invited.

In addition to the requirements of legitimate popularity, it is also required to have a good image and a high degree of citizenship. Most of the celebrities who endorse tea are artists who have worked hard in the UK for a long time, and they generally have to be forty years old or above. It is really very rare to be able to endorse tea as young as Han Jin.

This advertising endorsement once caused controversy in the United Kingdom, and many people questioned Han Jin's appeal. After all, he is still too young, and young people have always liked to drink coffee and carbonated drinks. What's more, he is a foreigner, and he is also a Hong Kong native.

The British have always regarded Hong Kong as their colony, and the Hong Kong people are equivalent to their servants, and now let a Hong Kong man introduce how the British drink tea, how can the British buy it?!

However, when the advertisement was broadcast, the sales of this tea brand soared by 30%, and it was obviously worth the risk of inviting Han Jin to advertise.

Originally, the company just wanted to ask Han Jin to shoot an advertisement, but now seeing such a good publicity effect, it immediately gave him another endorsement contract for up to one year. And Han Jin also pocketed five million pounds through this contract.

In addition to the tea advertisement, there is also an advertisement for clothing, and the brand is the local British clothing brand Paul-Smith. The brand started as menswear and has now expanded into womenswear as well. Compared with luxury brands like Burberry, Paul-Smith is a little more affordable and belongs to the affordable models that young men and women like.

Han Jin knows the brand and likes his design style - he is a gentleman on the surface but secretly "plays bad", so when he learned that it invited him to advertise, he immediately rejected the sky-high advertising invitations of luxury goods such as Burberry and Chanel, and chose Paul-Smith, who was paid less.

His choice once puzzled EMI Records. You must know that Burberry and Chanel do not often invite singers to advertise, and being able to be their advertising model is quite a proud thing for artists. I don't understand why Han Jin lost watermelons and picked sesame seeds, and wanted to give up luxury goods like Burberry and Chanel, and choose ordinary goods like Paul-Smith.
