Chapter 368 [ATV Tseung Kwan O Headquarters]
In December, Yin began.
On Friday morning, Lin Zuhui came to the office of ACN Center.
At present, the privatization process of Chinese real estate is being carried out in an orderly manner, which makes Lin Zuhui very happy.
Chinese Estates originally owned 15 buildings and 7 shopping malls (excluding the shopping malls in the Group's buildings), but New Era Real Estate handed over a Citi Centre (two towers), Paul Y. Building (the headquarters of Po Y. Construction) and Tsuen Wan Shopping Mall, which instantly caused another surge in Chinese Estates' rental properties.
Chinese Estates has also become the largest real estate company in Hong Kong (9.5 million square feet of rental properties), temporarily surpassing Wharf Group and Swire Group.
In terms of real estate in the new era, the land bank has surged to 16.2 million square feet again, and there is also 7 million square feet of agricultural land (which can be converted into residential land in the future); In terms of land reserves, New Era Real Estate is only lower than Sun Hung Kai and higher than Henderson, ranking second.
Cathay Pacific City Hotel Management is also the hotel group second only to New World Hotel among the major real estate companies.
In addition to having a debt of about 15 billion yuan, the all-round development of the New Era Group can be said to be the second largest Chinese-funded consortium in Hong Kong after Cheung Kong Group (including Hutchison).
At present, the retail field of New Era Group has stabilized, Times Communications has reached a technology shareholding agreement with AT&T of the United States (only for the first-generation mobile phone division), and consortia such as Hailu Container and Modern Container are also actively preparing to bid for Kwai Chung Container 8.
It seems that a new group comparable to the Cheung Kong consortium was born, and only Lin Zuhui knows that this is just the beginning.
Port, telecommunications, retail, New Era Group has just set foot in it, and will continue to compete fiercely with the Heung Kong Consortium;
Real estate, real estate, hotels, New Era Group is still the main development project, and it will continue to develop vigorously in the nineties;
The business of New Era Group also includes shipping, construction and other businesses, which are not listed for the time being.
To sum up: In the 90s, Lam Cho-fai would have globalized his business, but Hong Kong was still a key focus.
After a while, Chen Bin, director and general manager, came to Lin Zuhui's office.
There are several core executives of the New Era Group, but Lin Zuhui's right-hand men are Chen Bin and Liang Zhenxun, Chen Bin was born as a high-achieving construction student, and Liang Zhenxun is a 'master of financial skills', and the two seem to cooperate very well.
As for Lin Zuhui, he has already become the commander of a company, a commander of tens of thousands of people (many companies), and he is good at sending troops.
"Boss, the groundbreaking ceremony of the International Treasure Center is scheduled for the 12th."
Lin Zuhui naturally didn't worry about whether it was a good day, because Chen Bin would definitely invite the 'master' to see it, so he said with confidence: "Well, has the list of invited guests come out?" ”
Chen Bin handed over a piece of information, and after Lin Zuhui read it briefly, he returned it to him.
"Okay, hurry up and invite! Speaking of which, we only laid the foundation stone for the large-scale estate project 'Sceneway Gardens' last month, and then we laid the foundation stone for another major project this month. ”
"Well, the boss will pick the time, the real estate has begun to rise, and I expect it to rise to the level before the crash in half a year!"
Have a vision, you must know that at this time, there are still many real estate developers who are cowering, and even considering moving their books and capital, where they are in the mood to buy the bottom.
Lin Zuhui said: "From January next year, how much can our real estate supply increase? ”
Chen Bin said: "About 30%, and the supply will gradually increase in the future!" ”
"Yes, next year (1990) is a more critical year for us in terms of real estate, after all, we tightened supply in the second half of the year. And I predict that the average property price for the whole of next year will still be about the same as before the crash. Therefore, we will strive to achieve a net profit of more than 1.8 billion yuan for the whole year of real estate development next year, so that the normal net profit of the Group will be close to Changshi. ”
After this round of bottom-ups, the rent of New Era Group has increased by as much as three or four percent, including Wing On Center, Times Square, Chinese Bank Building and seven shopping malls and many other properties, all of which belong to the newly increased rental area. Therefore, next year's rent collection can get a net profit of 8~1 billion.
In addition, there are construction, shipping, etc., which can also bring stable income to the group, so the goal for the new year is 3 billion net profit.
Even if it does not rely on non-recurring profits, New Era Group can be close to Cheung Kong, or even surpass (excluding Hutchison).
If you make a fortune in foreign exchange and oil futures, it will be stable and long-lasting.
"Well, with your boss, your analysis of the general trend, our arrangement is very reasonable. Like Henderson, New World, etc., they at most reduce the start of construction when the real estate plummets, so that when the real estate recovers, they may not have enough supply. Chen Bin said admiringly. In the second half of this year, real estate transactions were sluggish, and New Era Group did not have much supply, so the natural sales pressure was greatly reduced.
Lin Zuhui is still very proud in his heart, don't look at these details of the factors, the benefits brought to the company are quite amazing. This year, the net profit of New Era Real Estate in the development of property is about 13~1.4 billion, and in the first half of the first five months, there is a net profit of about 1 billion.
In this arrangement, compared with other real estate companies, they are equivalent to selling three steamed buns with two steamed buns.
In the end, Lin Zuhui arranged: "In the matter of land reserves, we still can't relax, and we must buy enough land reserves every month." This strategy has been practical in the past five years, and it is not that the real estate has risen, so we will not buy it. ”
It is necessary to use the funds withdrawn from the real estate every month to purchase a certain amount of land bank.
"Okay, I got it!"
.......
Lin Zuhui came to the Hong Kong government and met with Wilson to discuss the establishment of ATV headquarters in Xiao Chi Sha, Tseung Kwan O.
If it was an ordinary land grant, of course, Lin Zuhui would not directly disturb Wilsson, after all, other people's affairs are so busy, but Lin Zuhui also planned to talk to him about the 'Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate'.
Led by Secretary Wilson, Lin Zuhui came to his office.
"Mr. Lin, you are a rare visitor to our Hong Kong government, it is rare to come to my office!" Wilson and Lin Zuhui sat down on the sofa together and said with a smile.
This is true, although Lin Zuhui has a good relationship with the Hong Kong government, he is not the kind of person who likes to deal with the Hong Kong government, and he prefers to privately win over some members of the two bureaus and senior government officials (not bribery). Negotiations with the Hong Kong government are generally done by Liang Zhenxun.
"I'm worried about disturbing your work, after all, you manage 6 million citizens, you must be very busy!" Lin Zuhui said politely.
Wei Yixin immediately said: "Your idea is a little wrong, although I manage more than 6 million people in Xiangjiang, if I communicate more with you consortium masters, I can better manage Xiangjiang." Because each of your consortia has tens of thousands of employees, that is, tens of thousands of families. With your help, we in the British government of Hong Kong can better manage Hong Kong. ”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What Mr. Wilson said is that Xiangjiang is my home, and I also hope that Xiangjiang will get better and better!" ”
Wei Yi confidently scolded Lin Zuhui as a little fox, although this rich man is young, he does things well, especially in the choice of China and Britain. Still, he decided to woo him.
"Mr. Lin, they all say that eggs can't be put in one basket, why don't you think about overseas investment, the investment environment of our British Empire is also very good!"
It's good, but the rate of return is low, Lin Zuhui said in his heart.
However, the governor's face still has to be given.
He said seriously: "What Mr. Wilson said is that I do plan to invest overseas, and the UK is also under my consideration. ”
Wilson immediately said, "What industry does Mr. Lin plan to invest in?" ”
Is this a robbery?
After Lin Zuhui slandered in his heart, he immediately said: "Communications, ports, and some livelihood projects, I will go to inspect them next year." ”
Wilson said with satisfaction this time: "Welcome, welcome! By the way, Mr. Lin is here this time? ”
Lin Zuhui handed over a plan and said: "I want to get approval for an industrial land of about 120~1.5 million square feet in Siu Chi Sha, Tseung Kwan O, for the construction of the headquarters of Asia Television." By the way, he also suggested that the Hong Kong government consider including Xiao Chi Sha and Tai Chi Sha in Tseung Kwan O as industrial estates for overall planning! ”
Wilson was a little taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, our Hong Kong government is indeed planning. But do you need such a large plot of land for your ATV headquarters? ”
Lin Zuhui nodded and reported the achievements of Asia Television, which immediately surprised Wei Yixin; Of course, he knew that Asia Television had made great improvements, but he didn't know that it had already opened up with TVB and had the potential for overseas development.
"Mr. Wilson, we at ATV are moving towards exporting 'Hong Kong culture' overseas, so we really need a new headquarters. And I went to Xiao Chisha to investigate, and there is indeed a large piece of land there that can be used as the headquarters of our ATV. ”
Wilson nodded, this piece of land can be given, because ATV is not a real estate company, and the approval is also industrial land. And listening to Lin Zuhui, ATV has sold 80 million Hong Kong dollars just for the copyright this year, which is very powerful. Wireless has been established for so many years, when has there been such a scene.
"I can take your application to the Legislative Council for discussion, but you have to agree to one of my conditions first!"
Lin Zuhui sighed in his heart, shouldn't it be a matter of standing in line, so this Wei Yixin is too blatant!
"You say!"
"ATV needs to go public and become a public company, not a private company, so that it can be beneficial for long-term development!"
It turned out to be this!
Lin Zuhui said: "Yes, I originally planned to prepare for the listing next year!" ”
Wei Yixin nodded, ATV's ratings were not good before, and the Hong Kong government didn't bother to care, but now the ratings are high, and this person is preparing satellite TV, so it must not be a pure private company.
After Lin Zuhui left, Wilson couldn't help but look at the English plan in his hand. The plan includes the planning proposal of the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, the general planning plan of ATV's headquarters, and the plan of ATV to create a 'Hong Kong flow culture'.
Immediately, I was very impressed by Wei Yixin, if the progress of the plan is followed, the development potential of ATV is really greater than that of wireless.
......
ATV began to publish advertisements for 'trainee selection' on this station and in various newspapers and periodicals, which attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong.
The so-called 'trainee selection' is different from the 'artist training class', the trainee selection requires boys and girls aged 15~18 years old, and once selected, they need to train for more than two years before they can make their debut. However, once selected as ATV's 'trainee', not only will you be covered with food and accommodation, but you will also have a certain basic subsidy.
Because of this, many families who are not wealthy are thinking about letting their children participate in the 'trainee selection', in case they become stars in the future, and the family will enjoy happiness.
Lim Cho-fai came to YG Entertainment's headquarters, which was not the ATV headquarters building because it was no longer crowded, but the office building of an old-fashioned building rented near Broadcast Road. However, the area is also large, with three floors and more than 30,000 square feet.
"Boss, you're here!" Yu Xiaoming, the general manager of YG Entertainment, greeted him and said respectfully.
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Take me on a tour and get to know our YG team!" ”
"Well, boss, please!"
Walking into a dance studio, several male and female dance teachers seemed to be discussing and discussing, and they were startled when they saw Lin Zuhui coming.
"Hello boss!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, and Yu Xiaoming introduced him!
"Folks, I love dancing too, but the dances we teach at YG Entertainment are different except for the basic movements. We want a group dance for men's and women's groups. Has Manager Yu told you about it? ”
All the dance teachers nodded!
Yu Xiaoming hurriedly said: "Recently, they have also choreographed the dances of the women's group and the men's group, do you want to appreciate it and see if it is a similar style?" ”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Of course, it depends on it, although everyone may be a master of dance skills, but there must be our style!" ”
The male and female dance teachers hurriedly began to discuss, and then began to prepare for the performance.
After the music sounded, I saw that the dances danced by these dance teachers were indeed a little different from the current dances of Xiangjiang, a bit like the Korean men's and women's groups in the previous life.
It turned out that Lin Zuhui had demonstrated to Yu Xiaoming in private, and Yu Xiaoming taught it to these dance teachers. Because of this, the stylistic route was determined.
Lin Zuhui does not feel that there is anything wrong with his involvement, he is now the chairman of the board of directors of ATV, and his participation in the work of the TV station is very normal; Uncle Shao Liu is on TVB, and he doesn't interfere in everything, and even has to go into battle in person in the beauty pageant.
Moreover, Lin Zuhui generally only realizes his ideas through executives, so he will not reveal that he is the founder of this dance technique.
"The dance of the women's group must be able to attract men's hormones, and the dance of the men's group must attract women's hearts. The style is generally right, but it's not enough for the taste! ”
"Okay, boss!"
Lin Zuhui didn't plan to show his ugliness in front of these people, but discussed it with Yu Xiaoming later.
Next, Lin Zuhui visited the music room, recording studio, etc., and was generally satisfied.
YG Entertainment is currently experimental, and it needs to be done step by step.
Back in the office, Lin Zuhui and Yu Xiaoming discussed it before leaving satisfied.
