Chapter 550 [Financial Freedom]
After an inspection in Paris, Lam did not return to Hong Kong immediately, but went to London to meet with Richman.
The Canary Wharf project has been redeemed from creditor banks, but the next priority is to communicate with the London government to start the subway extension as soon as possible. As a result, only companies are willing to move into this area.
At present, the project has eight office buildings with an area of 600,000 square meters, but the occupancy rate is only 40%. So, instead of rushing to build another high-rise building, it is to improve the infrastructure and transportation facilities of Canary Wharf.
........
Time flies, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.
In mid-July, the summer was hot.
Lin Zuhui has been in a good mood recently, London gold reached the liquidation line of $390 per ounce at the end of June, and he did not hesitate to choose to let Hengjin Investment and Octopus Bank slowly close futures and spot.
This round of gold futures/spot speculation took about eight months in total, but the profits obtained were huge. In terms of futures, it is expected to make a profit of 3.8 billion yuan and a return cost of 4.8 billion yuan; In terms of spot, it is expected to make a profit of about 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a profit margin of 16~18%, which is several times more cost-effective than lending in eight months.
At this time, the USD/JPY index also fell to about 108 points, which greatly increased Lin Zuhui's investment book profit (about 4.5 billion).
The futures contract is still being made, and the current profit is more than 1 billion.
Coupled with the sharp rise in the rent of Hengjin Real Estate this year, Lin Zuhui predicts that he will soon have about 15 billion in cash, and after repaying his personal loan. With such a huge wealth, Lin Zuhui did not have a good investment for a while, but he could continue to buy some familiar US stocks and make long-term investments.
Of course, with the rolling of real estate dividends, the dividends of the New Era Group may be as high as more than 3 billion (half of the individual shares) next year, and the other three listed groups will also enter the return period and will also receive high dividends every year. The annual rental return of Hengjin Real Estate will also be more than 1.5 billion.
Lin Zuhui sighed that he had finally survived.
Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, the foreign exchange has been fully liquidated, with a total profit of 1.38 billion and a cash return of 1.88 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”
Let the New Era Group close the position in advance, so as not to cause Lin Zuhui's ability to be too amazing.
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "It's not bad." It seems that we can save 10 billion Hong Kong dollars this year. ”
Now he is going to start paying attention to cash flow. The world has changed a lot, and you can't just do this kind of business because your business is doing well today, and if you have sufficient cash flow, you can have extra cash and you can enter other industries at any time.
Development does not forget to be steady, and steadiness does not forget development, which will be the strategy of New Era Group in the future.
Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "That's definitely not all, the company not only has profits back, but also costs back, according to the current real estate market, I am afraid that there will be more than 12 billion cash on the account at the end of the year." ”
To put it simply, the previous investment costs are also returned with the profits, so the estimated annual profit of 15 billion is actually far more than the return of funds. Of course, spending money is also very powerful, and now the land is often hundreds of millions of dollars, and billions of dollars are spent on buying land every year.
Although New Era Group invested 10.5 billion yuan in the Canary Wharf project in the United Kingdom this year, it completed the project by issuing bonds and loans.
"Looks like I'm going to have to work hard to find a project!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
Liang Zhenxun responded: "This time the foreign exchange made a big profit of 1.38 billion, if the French resort brand is acquired, it is almost equivalent to a project that the boss makes for the company for nothing." There are also the three U.S. stocks invested in, which are really very profitable, and General Dynamics alone has issued two non-recurring dividends this year, up to $38 per share. The market capitalization of our U.S. stock is already as high as $750 million, and the book profit is $300 million...... Therefore, I think I should give the boss and Wang Dong (Wang Lingyin) more robes. ”
Although Lin Zuhui has 49.5% of the shares of the New Era Group, it is Lin Zuhui's duty to run the company well, but so many non-recurring profits are obviously not Lin Zuhui's job, so they should be rewarded.
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "Forget it, set up a good archway of chastity, what else to toss." ”
"Okay"
Liang Zhenxun's move will make Lin Zuhui feel good, this is a fact. Regardless of whether his thoughts are sincere or not, Lin Zuhui feels that he is fully entitled to enjoy tens of millions of robes every year.

Since July, it has been popular in Xiangjiang where girlfriends hit their boyfriends, because ATV's "My Sassy Girlfriend" began to be broadcast in early July, which caused a huge response in Xiangjiang, and the ratings set a new record.
"My Sassy Girlfriend" is a low-budget small production + fan love + youth idol, which combines the freshness and delicacy of Japanese idol dramas, the romance of European literary films, and the nonsensical and funny of Hong Kong movies into a fan love story. Its story is actually quite old-fashioned, telling the "reunion" story of how a woman who has just lost her boyfriend gets rid of the psychological shadow and regains true love, and the plot of the film is not complicated. The biggest feature of the film is that it has created a rare "savage girlfriend" character in previous films, and "women beating men" has also become the biggest gimmick of the film.
At this time, the 'Hong Kong Stream Drama' led by ATV has been completely accepted by Hong Kong audiences and even the entire Asian audience, and has achieved great influence. The reason is actually very simple, Lin Zuhui plagiarized all classic 'Korean dramas', and the style is also summarized very well.
Lin Zuhui sometimes has an inexplicable sense of coolness, because he can catch the future 'Korean Wave' by himself, and slaughter a country by himself, which is so refreshing.
The point is, once the style is preemptively determined, will the Hallyu of the future still appear?
If you follow Xiangjiang's plagiarism, won't it become nondescript and ridiculed?
At present, in terms of dramas, Lin Zuhui still has some inventory, but he plans to wait for the Internet era to talk about it; Of course, maybe Xiangjiang's screenwriter can create a better work, but he doesn't necessarily need to come up with it.
And Lin Zuhui is not most familiar with dramas, but Korean variety shows in his previous life, because he likes to watch Korean dramas repeatedly, almost many game plots, he still has memories. In other words, starting in the late nineties, Hong Kong stream variety shows are also going to be launched.
Why don't you do it now, firstly, because there are not many Hong Kong idols, and what Hong Kong variety shows need is Hong Kong idols; The second is that the Internet era has not really come, and it cannot be done all at once in the Internet era, otherwise there will be no desired effect.
For example, in 1997, the first Hong Kong variety show "X-Man" began to be released (in fact, there are also interviews and music at present), so it will take at least 2000 years to release "Love Letter" and "Infinite Challenge", and "Family Birth" and "Runningman" will be released one after another.
At that time, the Internet will be able to see these Hong Kong variety shows.
