Thursday, January 28.

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the first working day after the new year.

Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin also came to the headquarters of the New Era Group on time - Central Plaza. Every year, the couple pays out laisee here, and Wang Lingyin is also the management of the New Era Group, and she is also a director of the New Era Group.

There are nearly 1,000 employees of New Era Group at the headquarters, all of whom are high-income earners in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to a central organization.

The monthly salary of the staff engaged in real estate and finance in Xiangjiang is 20,000~60,000 Hong Kong dollars, and they wear 10,000 yuan suits, more than 1,000 yuan belts, 5,000 yuan handbags, 3,000 Hong Kong dollars of leather shoes, and 2,000 Hong Kong dollars of glasses.

According to statistics at the end of last year, the average wage for manufacturing workers was 7,800 yuan, 7,500 yuan for hotel restaurants, 15,800 yuan for employees in transportation/warehousing/communications, and 12,000 yuan for college graduates.

"Boss, Mrs. Lin, Happy New Year!"

"Okay, take it, my wife will pack it herself!"

"Thank you, boss, Mrs. Lin, congratulations to the boss for making a fortune, and Mrs. Lin is forever young!"

"Same hair, same hair!"

Lin Zuhui and his wife distributed New Year's laisee floor by floor, and the staff they saw had a 200 Hong Kong dollar laisee, which can be described as quite a big laisee.

The staff who didn't see it wouldn't miss it, and the assistant Li Ke would give a part of the management at this level, and then ask them to send it to the missed staff.

Lin Zuhui was also personally distributing and exchanging a few words with people. He has a great memory and knows hundreds of employees, which is breathtaking.

"Ah Hao, the kid is getting more and more energetic, work hard, and strive for a salary increase and promotion!" Lin Zuhui said to a young man. I graduated from the University of Hong Kong and have been in the company for a year.

Ah Hao suddenly felt that the ancestral tomb was smoking, but he didn't expect the boss to remember him, so he hurriedly said flatteredly: "Thank you boss for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard." ”

Lin Zuhui wanted this effect - for show, he patted his hand on the young man's shoulder, and looked at the 'fat beauty' who squeezed in.

"Xiaoya, it's plump again in the New Year, be careful!"

"Yes, boss, I must pay attention to my figure and learn from my wife."

"It's okay, you can do a little more at work, just exercise, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!"

Everyone laughed.

Xiaoya's face flushed, but not to be outdone, she said, "I listen to the boss!" This seems to be saying to his colleagues, and the implication is that he is an 'acquaintance' of the boss.

Lin Zuhui smiled and chatted with some of the staff, and he was more 'idle' today.

There is no shortage of beautiful female employees in the New Era Group, but Lin Zuhui can't remember their names, and he naturally won't have any scandals in the company.

Wang Lingyin also has a certain prestige in the company, she is beautiful, has a good temperament, and is in charge of the company's charity department; If employees are in difficulty, she is the 'Guanyin Bodhisattva', rescuing the suffering and reflecting the company's humanistic care.

After walking through the office building on one floor at a time, Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin came to his office.

Wang Lingyin looked at the office and said, "Brother Hui, why don't you get a rest room, you can rest at noon." ”

Lin Zuhui welcomed her to his office chair, sat on the desk, and said to her: "I don't want to, I don't like to take a break at noon!" ”

The working habits of the wealthy people in Hong Kong vary:

Li Chaoren is the most diligent, getting up at five or six o'clock, going to work after playing golf, and arriving at the company on time at eight o'clock;

Zheng Yutong is the most 'lazy', maybe ten o'clock, maybe twelve o'clock, in his words, as long as he goes to the company, he can have the effect he wants;

Lee Shau Kee is the most 'weird', he likes to start work at 2 p.m. until the early hours of the next morning;

Lin Zuhui is the most 'standard', and he goes to and from work like the staff, and there is relatively little overtime.

Wang Lingyin looked at Lin Zuhui and smiled, of course she knew why Lin Zuhui didn't rest at noon, because he had to accompany them to lunch and go shopping. Of course, she is also a beneficiary, sometimes invited by Lin Zuhui to have lunch together, and then either go shopping or exercise.

Sometimes, Lin Zuhui also entertains guests during his lunch break, so he doesn't deserve a lunch break.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "You will officially work in the New Era Group this year, it is most important to be familiar with the company's affairs, and you can do the specific work!" ”

Although Wang Lingyin graduated from the University of Hong Kong, it is actually equivalent to 'part-time work and study', she began to give birth to a baby in her sophomore year, and she was absent from many classes, but she had good learning ability and could pass the exam, and the University of Hong Kong issued her graduation certificate. Of course, there is also for the sake of Lin Zuhui's face, who made Lin Zuhui the 'father of the gold master'!

"What about the two little ones in the family?" Wang Lingyin said hesitantly. She also wants to get involved in more work, but she is not worried about her two sons.

"What are you afraid of if you have a babysitter! You don't have too much work schedule, such as five or six hours a day, two days off on weekends, you are a normal working woman, what children do you have and no children. Of course, I respect your choice! ”

Wang Lingyin immediately said: "I listen to you!" In fact, of course, she wants to go to work, especially to establish a certain influence in the New Era Group, which is also Lin Zuhui's idea, just in case.

After making an appointment to go out for dinner at noon, Wang Lingyin returned to his office, which was more like a booth, small in area, and also a glass partition wall.

After a while, Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office.

The senior management of the New Era Group has a characteristic, that is, they are relatively young, basically around the age of 40, and theoretically they can work for more than 15 years.

"Olympia York declared bankruptcy this month, and Richman is ready to redeem the Canary Wharf project in London and intends to invite us to become shareholders," said Lim. So I'm going to invest 60% of the equity, which will be about 900 million pounds (US$1.35 billion, HK$10.5 billion). ”

Liang Zhenxun was surprised and said, "Invest so much? That project still needs to be funded, right? ”

Lin Zuhui said: "There should be no need for capital injection, and the follow-up will be solved with loans!" This project has a very good prospect and is one of the best channels for us to enter the commercial real estate in Europe. ”

Liang Zhenxun nodded, he never doubted the boss's investment vision.

To put it bluntly, now it's the bottom of the list!

As for whether it is the bottom or not, the boss has the most say in this point.

"The company also invested in Diamond Mountain King in February, and it is estimated that it will be more than 3 billion. It is estimated that there is only 4 billion left in the account, and convertible bonds can only be issued recently, but the Hang Seng Index has fallen to less than 6,000 points recently, and the market is not particularly good. ”

When Lin Zuhui heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Others can't issue convertible bonds at this time, it doesn't mean that we can't." The popularity of New Era Group is not comparable to those companies, so you communicate with Peregrine and directly issue 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in bonds. Of course, I personally subscribed for 2.5 billion, so that you would have no pressure. ”

After hearing this, Liang Zhenxun immediately said: "Of course there is no problem!" It's time for the annual report in March, how does the boss plan to pay dividends? ”

Lin Zuhui said: "According to last year's dividend (1.5 billion), our company wants to invest a lot, and the dividend can only be like this!" ”

"Okay"

The assets of the New Era Group are several times that of Henderson, but the dividends are about the same.

However, Lin Zuhui is different, he has a strong personal charm, and his investment in overseas projects is indeed 'picking up cheap', so the dividend ratio is small, which will also make the stock price rise.

One of the advantages of New Era Group is that it can achieve relative financial transparency, such as the income from investing in U.S. stocks, which is reported from time to time. In this way, investors know that New Era Group's overseas investment is very smooth.

However, it is not a way to go on like this, Lin Zuhui is worried about how much money he has, how much money he spends, in case the property above the airport railway station is tendered, and the New Era Group does not have enough cash, which is not a good thing.

So, he thought about it for a while and said to Liang Zhenxun: "Take out 500 million Hong Kong dollars to buy gold futures and add 20 times leverage." ”

When he was visiting Manhattan some time ago, he remembered that in the summer of this year (1993), a terrorist attack occurred in the parking lot of the Times Trade Center in Manhattan, which had a huge impact. And the outbreak of such an event will generally cause gold to skyrocket.

So this summer, gold is bound to rise above $400 an ounce, compared to $330 an ounce at the moment.

Liang Zhenxun knew that the boss was raising money for the company again, so he said, "Well, I'll buy it right away." ”

500 million funds, just gamble.

In fact, Lin Zuhui roughly estimated that this year's New Era Group may have a net profit of more than 14 billion, plus 5 billion yuan of fundraising, a balance of 6 billion yuan last year, and an annual expenditure of about 26 billion yuan. (It's just a rough estimate, and the timing is still the principal to be returned, far more than that)

In this way, for the investment in Diamond Mountain King (estimated to be 3.5 billion), London's Canary Wharf (estimated to be 10.5 billion), and the mainland expenditure of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is estimated that after the investment funds of Heung Kong Investment, it is estimated that there will be less than 10 billion cash flow left.

Completely hassle-free.

However, Lin Zuhui likes to have a little more money, so it is still safe to make more than a billion dollars in gold for the company.

Of course, it is also possible to lose money, and who knows if there is a 5% fluctuation!

A loss is a loss, and no one dares to say that Lin Zuhui is not.
