Chapter 389 [Chinese Medicine Field]
Time flies, and three weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Lin Zuhui conducted inspections in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, but did not make specific investments.
Moreover, he was mainly for two things:
First, prepare for a family office; He chose to cooperate not only with Korn Ferry International, but also with a British executive search firm.
second, to inspect the branches of Hengjin Investment; Speculating in crude oil futures is imminent, Lin Zuhui has to check it in person, and his heart is solid.
During this period, Lin Zuhui also conveniently purchased overseas real estate for the women, laying the foundation for future immigration. Up to now, except for Wang Lingyin, the remaining seven people (including Lin Zixia) have overseas luxury villas, with prices of 5 million ~ 8 million US dollars.
Li Jiaxin's mansion is the most expensive, located in London, is a manor-style villa covering an area of more than 30 acres, and it cost a full $8 million.
Early May.
Lin Zuhui, who returned to Xiangjiang, felt very satisfied after walking around the companies, and a little bit of loss.
Satisfied because in the more than 20 days of my absence, everything in the company is running well; Lost because I felt my importance and was challenged.
Of course, the loss is only for a moment!
As he expected, as long as he was alive, the companies would grow stronger and stronger, and he had become a kind of spiritual pillar.
For example, in the New Era Group, the core executives know that in the next few years, the New Era Real Estate will take land reserve as an important policy; Because as long as there is more land reserve, there will be land to build houses in the future, and the cost of building houses will be lower and the profits will be greater.
In the past, it was precisely because New World Development did not pay attention to land reserves that its competitiveness was greatly reduced. In this life, the development of the new world is also moving in this direction. New World Development attaches too much importance to the hotel industry, and this industry is slower than the return on investment of office buildings, with an annual income of only about 6%~10%.
In the office, Lin Zuhui looked at the stock price of New Era Group on the computer at 18.66 yuan per share, and the total market value has exceeded 28 billion. A large part of the reason why the market value has risen so fast is that Lin Zuhui's 'warrants' have been exchanged for the underlying shares, and the total share capital has become 1.5 billion shares, and Lin Zuhui holds 49.5% of the equity.
Because Chinese Real Estate and Cathay Pacific City were privatized, the market value of the consortium controlled by Lin Zuhui was greatly reduced, and his own wealth was tightly biting Li Chaoren. After all, Li Chaoren did not directly hold shares in Hutchison Whampoa and HK Electric.
Li Chaoren eventually wanted to privatize Hutchison Whampoa, or arrange for Cheung Kong and Hutchison to merge, so as to be more in line with the interests of the family; But with his current financial resources, or the market value of Cheung Kong is much lower than that of Hutchison, he cannot be privatized.
On the contrary, Lin Zuhui's privatization of Chinese Real Estate and Cathay Pacific City this time was praised by financial commentators again and again!
Don't look at Lin Zuhui's privatization and restructuring so easily, it is actually based on his personal financial strength and analysis of the situation; The rest of the consortium is on this, I don't know how twists and turns.
Needless to say, in his previous life, Hang Lung spent his energy on asset restructuring and wasted a lot of opportunities; It was not until the 21st century that Li Chaoren had the strength and opportunity to arrange the merger of Cheung Kong and Hutchison.
There was a knock on the door.
Assistant Li Ke brought Liang Zhenxun and Lu Donglai to the office together.
"Boss"
"Sit down"
Lin Zuhui leaned back in his chair and said easily: "Manager Lu, how did you talk with Weixin Group?" ”
Lu Donglai sat on the sofa, more serious, leaned forward and straightened his body and said: "It's almost all negotiated, the current price is 580 million!" ”
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "After the negotiation, I am ready to sign the contract, and all the acquisition funds will be loaned." After the completion of the acquisition, Vixen (Hong Kong) Parking Management operated separately as a group and linked the acquired loans to Vixen (Hong Kong). ”
Lu Donglai and Liang Zhenxun nodded, the purpose of this is because Weixin (Hong Kong) has a huge profit every year, and it will not increase the group's debt.
Lu Donglai asked: "After Weixin (Hong Kong) is taken over by us, how should it develop?" Boss! ”
What he means is to invest more, or to sit back and enjoy the dividends. In terms of the group's general policy, everyone will still ask Lin Zuhui's opinion.
"The purpose of the acquisition is to build the largest car park management company in Hong Kong. Therefore, it is natural to maximize the investment in the parking lot, and the loan is a little higher, so you don't have to worry, it is nothing more than a problem of not making a profit for a few years, but the long-term income is very good. ”
Lu Donglai nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!" ”
Lin added: "You can arrange senior staff, you need to manage the general department!" ”
"Yes, I know!"
Seeing that it was his turn, Liang Zhenxun immediately said: "Boss, do you arrange to repay the debt of 2 billion." At present, the company's cash flow is 2.5 billion, which is quite abundant! ”
This year, the net profit of the development of real estate of the New Era Group is no problem to exceed 2 billion, and it may even exceed a lot. With the rental income of 1 billion yuan and others, Lin Zuhui predicts more than 3.5 billion. Recurring profits still can't catch up with Changshi, which was already 3 billion last year, and I am afraid it will exceed 4 billion this year.
However, if you add non-recurring profits, it will definitely be exceeded!
"The expenses for construction, interest, and land purchase will not be affected, right?"
"No, our finance department has calculated that it is more convenient to repay the 2 billion loan! If you have a project, you can also take out a direct loan! ”
Lin Zuhui thought about it for a while, if the Chinese real estate to speculate in crude oil futures, 300 million funds would be enough, and there was no need to invest too much.
"Okay, let's arrange for repayment! Moreover, in June and July, I am also preparing to raise funds through a rights issue! ”
I have to subsidize some of my own funds, because I don't invest in Xiangjiang Real Estate to make money quickly.
Liang Zhenxun was taken aback, if the New Era Group raised funds, according to the current market value, it would be able to raise more than 2.5 billion yuan at a time, and the company would become rich in an instant.
Many wealthy people in Hong Kong are reluctant to raise funds through rights issues, because if they issue shares, they need to spend too much cash; If I don't provide it, then the equity will be diluted and the holding will not be strong.
On the contrary, it is his own boss, who has always been happy to raise funds for the company's rights issue. It can only show that his own boss is making a lot of money financially.
But there is also a problem, other symbols invest a lot overseas, and they basically use personal funds to invest; And their own boss, although they are also investigating the European and American markets, but how much to invest.
"In this way, our debt will be greatly reduced, and we will not have to pay so much interest every year!" ”
Lin Zuhui shook his head and said: "I am not raising funds for the sake of debt, because we must seize the past few years and develop again!" Not only that, you can arrange to sell half of the shares of Xia Yu Building and Royal Building to Hengjin Real Estate at a price of 3.5 billion, and the New Era Group will return 1.75 billion yuan. ”
The price he gave was very reasonable, and he didn't take advantage of the Chinese real estate!
Sure enough, Liang Zhenxun said: "Will the valuation be too high, although the real estate has rebounded, but the office building has not improved much due to the withdrawal of foreign capital!" ”
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "These two buildings were bought for 2.3 billion yuan back then, and now they are 50% higher, there is no problem!" Arrange it, don't let people gossip! ”
"Okay, I'll arrange the formalities for the transaction!"
In an instant, coupled with the rights issue to raise funds, Lin Zuhui personally prepared nearly 3 billion for the company. By August, the New Era Group can raise about 4.5 billion in cash.
After paying off the 2 billion, the debt of the New Era Group is actually only 12 billion, which is about more than 20% of the debt ratio.
The funds raised will naturally be spent by Lin Zuhui immediately, and he already has a lot of projects in mind.
Lin Zuhui came to Wilson's office again, he is now in and out of the Hong Kong government conveniently, make an appointment with Wilsson, and soon reach a meeting.
Lin Zuhui was sitting on the sofa, and Wilson did not put on a score, and came to the sofa to accompany him.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you went to the UK for a period of time to investigate, how did you get from it?" Wilson said with a smile.
There are a lot of gains, Lin Zuhui went to the UK this time not to inspect the market, but mainly to the UK to take a relationship. In fact, he himself is very popular in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
In the United States, he met with the governor of California; In Vancouver, he met with senior British Columbia officials; In England, he met with the Mayor of London and the conservative D. Fat Penn. Needless to say, there are many other bankers and entrepreneurs.
Lin Zuhui himself is very marketable in Europe and the United States, because he is young and the second most wealthy Chinese.
"Very good! I have already decided that in the second half of the year, I will invest in terminals, telecommunications and other fields in London! Also, this time I bought a property in London. Lin Zuhui said unabashedly.
"That's great, London welcomes Chinese billionaires like you to invest, the investment environment there is very good!" Wilson said. As the Governor-General, he has been reminded by London many times to pull more Chinese billionaires to invest or immigrate to London.
Lin Zuhui nodded, and then got down to business: "Mr. Wilsson, I want to apply for a satellite TV license for ATV. ”
Wilson said in surprise: "Such a coincidence? ”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "You're talking about Li Chaoren, right?" ”
"Yes, he came to communicate with me, too! However, I feel very embarrassed, because the TV licenses are all franchised and are granted by the Hong Kong government on their own initiative. If a satellite license is granted, it will not be fair to ATV, wireless, and wired! ”
Lin Zuhui nodded, what Wei Yixin said was very reasonable, but Li Chaoren still got a satellite license in his previous life, which shows that the influence of the rich is too great.
"I support your point of view in principle, but we have a TV license on ATV, so this time it's just a matter of adding more channels. And you should know that I am integrating the communication industry and hope to export the culture of Hong Kong to Asia, which is the same as the development of the service industry formulated by the Hong Kong government back then, and also in line with the economic development trend of Hong Kong. ”
Wilson suddenly said: "Mr. Lin, in fact, I admire you very much, you are different from other real estate developers, you have created a lot of economic value that Xiangjiang does not have!" ”
Lin Zuhui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said modestly: "You have won the award, and I am just trying to try!" ”
In fact, he himself is very confident that his so-called 'Hong Kong Wave Culture' will definitely create great economic benefits, even if it is not as large and comprehensive as the Korean Wave culture in the previous life, but at least it will continue the economy of Hong Kong.
You must know that during the Asian financial crisis in 98 in the previous life, Mr. Dong of the Huaxia Hong Kong Government was so anxious that he asked Li Chaoren, who was on vacation in Hawaii, to urgently recall Xiangjiang, hoping to do the 'Chinese medicine industry'. Of course, it can only show that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor at that time, and the 'Chinese medicine port' in Xiangjiang eventually became an empty slogan.
Lin Zuhui did not look down on Mr. Dong's proposal of 'rejuvenating Hong Kong with traditional Chinese medicine', but at that time, Japan and South Korea had already occupied the market, and Li Chaoren was a pure real estate developer, so to put it bluntly, the Chinese medicine port with an investment of 5 billion US dollars has always been his fool.
Lin Zuhui also wants to do it, but he is ready to do it immediately!
Wilson praised again: "Many of them are your senior businessmen, and they are never as confident as you, but on your face, I always see confidence." Your mindset is really good! ”
Lin Zuhui said modestly again: "Where, where, I may be young, so I am not afraid of failure, and I can stand up again if I fall!" ”
Wei Yixin nodded, and finally he said seriously: "I agree in principle to your ATV holding satellite TV, but it needs to be approved by the Legislative Council." You can come up with a specific plan and communicate with our Hong Kong government! ”
Generally speaking, Governor G will not refute the matters passed by the Legislative Council; In the same way, if Wilson agrees to something, the Legislative Council will not refute it.
And Lam Cho-fai has the relationship of half of the members of the Legislative Council, of course, he is not afraid of not being able to pass.
In the end, Lin Zuhui also put Li Chaoren together: "Mr. Wilsson, I can't interfere with the license applied by Li Chaoren, but I want you to consider the importance of franchises, so Cantonese programs can't be broadcast, I believe that wireless and wired also mean this!" ”
"Okay, we'll think about it! Patents do matter! ”
The so-called franchise is the 'franchise' given by the Hong Kong government, and if it can be wantonly destroyed, then something will happen! Heung Kong's electricity, gas, buses, telecommunications, aviation, etc., are all franchises.
Back at ATV, Lin Zuhui also held a high-level meeting.
Shi Nansheng officially became an executive of ATV as the assistant chief executive officer, which made ATV's 'woman in charge' a little more meaningful for a while.
"Manager Li, how is ATV's preparation for listing?" Lin Zuhui asked a young man in his thirties.
He is the 'God of Wealth' of Wireless in later generations, Li Baoan, who was eventually promoted to the general manager of Wireless Group with his financial expertise, and it was Lin Zuhui who asked Zhou Liang Shuyi to poach from Lai Sun Group. Of course, before being dug up, Li Baoan could only be said to be a talent valued by Lin Baixin, not a right-hand man.
"Everything is ready to go public!"
"Can it be controlled at the end of June and the beginning of July?"
"Yes, our ATV is a high-quality company, and the listing can be unimpeded!"
"Okay, then wait for me to let me know!"
In this case, it is natural to wait until the beginning of July, when the stock market is at its peak, to be listed, so that there will be more funds raised, which is conducive to the next development of ATV.
ATV was requested to be listed by the Hong Kong government, communicated with Yuan Tianfan of the Stock Exchange, and can be approved at any time.
Then, Lin Zuhui arranged: "President Liang and Assistant Shi, you are preparing the 'Asia Satellite TV' team, and the programs of Asia Satellite TV are our dramas and TV programs, and you also need to make a 'front line of entertainment' to show the entertainment industry of Hong Kong to all audiences." ”
Zhou Liang Shuyi immediately asked: "Does the boss want to export Xiangjiang's entertainment overseas?" ”
All the executives looked at Lin Zuhui, and they felt that the boss seemed to be arranging a big game, setting up YG Entertainment, broadcasting the 'Music Bank' program, planning the 'Four Heavenly Kings', and now hiring Shi Nansheng with a particularly high salary to serve as ATV's overseas promotion!
Lin Zuhui saw that everyone had doubts and decided to confess to everyone.
"Yes, after ATV goes public, I will inject DreamWorks into ATV to form a complete communication industry chain. And I am preparing a whole entertainment industry chain, so that Heung Kong can become a star-making factory, and in the future, I will export entertainment culture to the mainland, Japan, South Korea, etc."
Lin Zuhui said a lot, and everyone was shocked at once, it turned out that the boss was formulating the development of Xiangjiang's cultural industry, and he also received the support of the Hong Kong government.
In fact, Lin Zuhui still has a lot to say, as long as the mainland opens up in the next year, ATV can cooperate with the mainland to form a huge industrial chain, and teach a lesson to the newborn 'Korean Wave' that only appeared in the late 90s.
In the end, Lin Zuhui said: "The Great Wall was not built in a day, everyone knows this, and there is no need to care too much!" We are now crossing the river by feeling the stones, there is no so-called failure, no matter how bad it is, ATV can crush the wireless! ”
Everyone nodded one after another, with this genius-like idea, how could wireless be an opponent!
After the meeting dispersed, Lin Zuhui left Zhao Zhenqiang and asked: "How is the preparation of "The Legend of the New White Lady"? ”
To put it bluntly, the story outline Lin Zuhui is listed, and the screenwriter just needs to find information and complete it according to the above; The songs have already been set up for two classics, and the rest can be done according to the style.
Zhao Zhenqiang said: "Zhao Yazhi's side has not been negotiated, she is now taking care of her family, saying that it has been too long to go to the mainland to film!" ”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "That's all rhetoric, you go and talk about it, the salary is higher, and you can also give her preferential treatment when filming in the mainland, and go home once a few days." She is the absolute protagonist of this play, and she can't do without her! ”
Zhao Zhenqiang nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely complete the signing this month!" ”
Zhao Yazhi is about the same age as Lin Zixia this year, Lin Zuhui is a little bit of a factor, he can't think about it, it's immoral behavior.
As Lin Zuhui's real estate business became bigger and bigger, he felt a sense of uneasiness when he didn't come.
As far as he knows, in the 90s, when the public opinion demanded that the Hong Kong government legislate to crack down on speculation in the property market, the Hong Kong government would also be angry about the monopoly of wealth by real estate developers.
Some scholars in the financial field said: "Due to various factors, the unfair distribution of wealth has been caused. Hong Kong's economy is an export-oriented economy, and the main things that really earn foreign exchange for Hong Kong and accumulate wealth are trade, shipping, industry, and so on. Real estate developers have made the greatest profits in the redistribution of social wealth, and they are ridiculously large. Nowhere in the world is the richest class as Hong Kong is almost entirely concentrated in the real estate sector. In the past, this was not the case in Hong Kong, where the wealthy were scattered in trade, retail, shipping, finance, real estate, industry and other industries. Now the rich from other industries are gradually squeezing off the rich list – unless they hold on to real estate. This phenomenon is actually a precursor to Hong Kong's economic recession. ”
Luk Hau-pui, one of Hong Kong's leading builders, has built buildings for real estate developers and owners throughout his life, and the HSBC Building is his masterpiece. He only knows how to build a house, but does not know how to sell a house, and he has worked hard all his life, and the wealth he has accumulated is pitiful, and the real estate developers who have partnered with him have become rich. In his later years, people still praised his architectural achievements, saying, "I was the stupidest man in the world, and I didn't know how to go into real estate at an early age." ”
The anger of the "shellless" people and the "micro-words" of the "shell" people to the real estate industry have undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the Hong Kong government to curb the monopoly of real estate and crack down on speculation in the property market.
Lin Zuhui knows that after the new financial secretary takes office next year, he will start to attack real estate developers (raising down payments, cracking down on speculators, etc.), of course, many real estate developers are not vegetarians.
But Lin Zuhui doesn't want to be the one who is scolded the most, he now seems to be the chairman of the board of directors of the first real estate company in terms of market capitalization!
His LEIT Group is actually an important industrial blue-chip stock in Xiangjiang, and Wanhui Group and ATV are media communication companies, which are all good. Xiaomi technology is just getting started now, and its influence is limited.
He soon decided to enter the field of traditional Chinese medicine, or the field of biomedicine. Not only for the economic development of Xiangjiang, but also for the reshaping of the image of the Lin family.
Besides, you can also study the 'elixir of life' in the future, and the rich have those who are not afraid of death.
Lin Zuhui's entry into the field of traditional Chinese medicine is not a headless turn, he has a perfect plan.
First of all, a very important step is to cooperate with Tong Ren Tang and Baiyun Shan in the mainland to set up a joint venture company in Hong Kong and learn from their experience.
Second, it has won the support of public opinion from the Hong Kong government and the whole of Hong Kong.
In the end, go to Japan to dig up talents, introduce technology, in short, take money to smash.
