DreamWorks wanted to shoot a blockbuster film to enter Hollywood, and it was a joint shooting with 21st Century Fox, which caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong for a while.

Everyone in the industry knows that Asia Television Group and News Corporation have just started working together, and then the two film companies announced that they would co-produce a movie.

Of course, in fact, 21st Century Fox was just a nominal name, and a few people were there to assist in the shooting. What can promote this matter is naturally Lin Zuhui who came forward and greeted Murdoch.

For this movie, whether to make money or not is already secondary, it is important to have influence and let Lin Zuhui have face; Therefore, the shooting must be of high quality, at least surpassing the quality of Xiangjiang's previous sci-fi films several times.

The set and props of the first part of "Resident Evil" are mainly the base camp of the hive, so DreamWorks will spend a lot of money to build it. In order to recover the cost, the hive will be opened to the public as a 'tourist attraction' in the future, and it can be reused.

In fact, the most important thing about this movie is not the big production, but the creativity - a series of fresh words such as T-virus, artificial intelligence (supercomputer), etc.

And this film needs to be prepared and filmed for a year, and it is scheduled to be broadcast in the summer of next year.

After completing the last area of the communication enterprise, Lin Zuhui was relieved, and the TV station, entertainment company, and film company ....... ATV Group has become the king of the whole field of communication.

........

Thursday, August 19.

In the morning, Lin Zuhui read the newspaper in the office and saw that Cheung Kong Group released its semi-annual financial report: Cheung Kong made a profit of 3.8 billion yuan in the first half of the year (as of June 30) and Hutchison Whampoa 2 billion yuan. (HK Electric is a public utility company, Hutchison only holds 34.5% of the shares, and another announcement was made)

After reading the news, Lin Zuhui was a little surprised that Cheung Kong Group's performance was so good, excluding HK Electric's 5.8 billion in half a year.

The net profit of New Era Group in the first half of the year was 7.5 billion, including 1.38 billion non-recurring profits, so the recurring profit was 6.12 billion.

It was only a little higher than Cheung Kong Group, which surprised Lin Zuhui.

You must know that the Chinese Real Estate under the New Era Group is a big rent collector; Cheung Kong Group has almost no rent-collecting properties, accounting for a very small proportion.

However, Lin Zuhui soon understood that Hutchison Whampoa made more money than Hengchang Holdings, which may only be about 5% of it, and its half-year profit was only 1.1 billion.

The profitability of the two development real estate is about the same, Cheung Kong even won slightly, New Era Real Estate can only shoot third, Sun Hung Kai ranks first, but the three companies are chasing very closely.

Calling Liang Zhenxun, Lin Zuhui asked: "Are our semi-annual financial reports ready?" ”

Liang Zhenxun nodded and said, "It's ready, and it plans to be released in early September." ”

It is necessary to release this financial report, the current market value of New Era Group is only more than 150 billion, and it will strive to rise to 200 billion by the end of the year, creating a record. After all, the market can soar to more than 11,000 points, and there is no problem for New Era Group to rise by 30%.

Lin Zuhui continued: "When holding a press conference, remember to report to investors in more detail. The book assets of the U.S. stocks we have invested in this year have increased, and the dividend per share of General Dynamics has reached as high as $32.6 (holding 1.47 million shares..... Hengchang Profit Food became the No. 1 instant noodle brand in the mainland...... The market capitalization of listed companies controlled by Singapore has reached 4 billion ....... Good news like this can be explained to investors. ”

New Era Group's finances have always been relatively transparent, and the announcement of some good investment news can also strengthen investors' confidence.

Importantly, billions of convertible bonds are due at the end of the year, and the company does not want to pay the principal and interest, but wants everyone to exchange it for shares. Therefore, the higher the market capitalization, the higher the enthusiasm of everyone to exchange stocks, in fact, everyone will exchange stocks.

"Okay, I'll communicate with President Yuan later, and the two of us will attend the press conference!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, he has not participated in the semi-annual financial report conference for several years, and he will only consider participating in the annual financial report conference in February and March.

Today's New Era Group has a net worth of more than 200 billion yuan, which can be called a giant in the industry.

The rise of the New Era Group has weakened Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson, and New World by one or two percent; Second-tier real estate companies such as Hang Lung, Great Eagle, Sino and Chinachem have weakened their strength; As for those third- and fourth-tier real estate developers, they have naturally been affected.

After Liang Zhenxun left, after a while, assistant Li Ke brought in a person, and Lin Zuhui greeted him.

"Wang Sheng, welcome to come!" Lin Zuhui said happily.

The person who came was Wang Jianping, the general manager of the 'Shougang' Xiangjiang listed company, and Lin Zuhui had several intersections. Because Lin Zuhui made a great contribution to CEFC's acquisition of Asia Securities that year; As a result, several official enterprises in the mainland pulled his tail one after another, intending to let Lin Zuhui take them to the sky - to come to Hong Kong for a backdoor listing.

Therefore, in the backdoor listing of 'Shougang' in Hong Kong and the continuous acquisition of several companies, Lin Zuhui also participated, and indirectly cooperated with Li Chaoren.

The so-called cooperation is not just a matter of making suggestions, but it is necessary to use money to participate in the purchase of listed companies. For example, Shougang has a fancy for a listed company, but he does not have enough money, so he can only buy 51% of the shares, and the rest will be purchased by other consortiums; After acquiring a company, the market value will inevitably skyrocket, and then Shougang (a listed company) can raise funds through rights issue, and then redeem the shares in the hands of the cooperative company (with profits).

Through this stock market game, the company was able to snowball in no time. CEFC is the representative of mainland companies in Hong Kong, and after successive mergers of a number of listed companies, CEFC's current market value has reached 20 billion, becoming the first Chinese concept stock.

Shougang is the second stock, with a current market value of less than 5 billion.

Wang Jianping is a second generation, needless to say, this is the case, including those at the top of CEFC, many of them.

Of course, although Lin Zuhui can't say that he will go to the mainland sideways, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, no one will dare to trouble him. He has connections with people in the upper echelons, and coupled with his own status in Xiangjiang, there is no need to please these people.

On the contrary, these people are all currying favor with Lin Zuhui, the God of Wealth.

"Lin Sheng, I'm here to disturb you busy man again!" Wang Jianping said politely with a smile.

Lin Zuhui motioned for him to take a seat, and then said: "I like this interruption, it can make me money, it just shows that we are a win-win cooperation." ”

Wang Jianping immediately said happily: "It's still Mr. Lin who is fair, there are media outside and we are here to grab business in Hong Kong and have privileges, but we have been wronged." We are now acting in accordance with the system of Xiangjiang and abiding by the laws and regulations here; It's just that there are a few black sheep who engage in some false background tricks. ”

How to say it, there must be privileges, even the Hong Kong government has taken care of CEFC before, when acquiring K. Wah Bank, the acquirer does not bear bad debts and bad debts, and there is a guarantee from the Hong Kong government's Exchange Fund; In addition, Hong Kong businessmen such as Lin Zuhui and Li Chaoren are definitely willing to cooperate with these mainland enterprises in Hong Kong in order to invest in the mainland...... And so on, it's a privilege. As for the real privilege, it is naturally impossible, after all, the Hong Kong government also has to maintain the fairness of Hong Kong.

However, there is a common problem of mainland enterprises listed in Hong Kong, that is, low profits, poor management, complex personnel, too much internal friction, etc., and it is obvious that they still have a long way to go.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "This is a process, the market will eliminate those bad companies, and the last ones to survive must be listed companies in Xiangjiang such as CEFC, Shougang and Huaaerospace." ”

Hua Aerospace Science and Technology has also been successfully listed on the backdoor market, and its performance is good, and the launch of 'Asia Satellite 1' is their performance. Of course, the assets listed on the backdoor are not those core assets.

Mainland official capital comes to Hong Kong for backdoor listing in order to raise funds through securities and then invest. In recent years, there has been a lot of investment in Hong Kong from the mainland.

After talking for a while, Wang Jianping said: "Lin Sheng, I came to you this time to see if you are interested in cooperating with us to renovate several state-owned hotels in the capital. ”

Lin Zuhui asked: "I often go to the capital to those hotels, and I am basically familiar with them?" ”

Wang Jianping immediately said: "The Great Wall Hotel, the Minzu Hotel, the Xiangshan Hotel, the Huadu Hotel, the Yanxiang Hotel, the Qianmen Hotel, and the Yanjing Hotel are a total of seven hotels; Except for the Great Wall Hotel, which is five-star, the rest are three-star. We want to transform these hotels into foreign-related hotels through renovation, and strive to be able to go to four or five stars for three stars. ”

When Lin Zuhui heard the Great Wall Hotel, a little memory poured out, and he remembered that the annex of this hotel was the famous heaven and earth in the future. Of course, it was leased out, and it had nothing to do with the Great Wall Hotel.

"I have no hesitation in supporting the development of the capital. After all, those overseas investors come to Beijing, if there is a good accommodation environment, there must be better results, so this cooperation is very good! Lin Zuhui talked about the scene.

He doesn't need to talk about details and interests directly, because if he has his subordinates to talk about it, it will be a small project of hundreds of millions, and he can worry about it there.

Wang Jianping said happily: "With the New Era Group joining, it is really a blessing for this project, your hotel industry is doing very well, there are many industries abroad." ”

Lin Zuhui said modestly: "Wang Sheng has won the award!" But we do invest a lot of money in hotel groups. ”

The two reached a cooperation agreement verbally, and the next step is to discuss the details of the team between the two sides, and Lin Zuhui will naturally not participate.

After Wang Jianping left, Lin Zuhui called Li Mingtao, vice president of New Era Hotel Group, and handed him this task. For such projects, Lin Zuhui's principle has always been that if there is an annual profit of more than 8%, he is very satisfied, which can be regarded as making a small amount of money and supporting the development of the motherland.

Many of New Era Group's (Huaxia) projects in mainland China are livelihood projects, which require urbanization, so they are led by the government and invested by developers to develop residential projects. The official guarantees that the investor has 15%~20% profit every year, and the developer can have a stable profit, which is equivalent to limiting the developer's profiteering behavior, because this is a people's livelihood project.

Although the profit of 15% is considerable, if the Hong Kong developer is allowed to develop the project as a sole proprietor, it will not be the only profit.

After explaining to Li Mingtao, Lin Zuhui asked again: "How is the development of third- and fourth-level hotels in the mainland?" ”

Li Mingtao said: "Through Miramar Hotels, we have identified a total of 7 3-star hotels and 2 4-star hotel development projects in second-tier cities such as Wuhan, Hangzhou and Foshan, all of which are developed through rental properties. It is expected that the cost will be paid for in four to five years. ”

Lin Zuhui immediately asked: "Is there a basis for recovering costs in four to five years?" ”

Li Mingtao nodded and said, "Yes, the three hotels we have opened have an occupancy rate of 86% at present. And as the mainland grows, this proportion will increase. ”

He had to sigh at the high strategy of the boss, and after the acquisition of Miramar Hotel, he immediately formulated a plan for mid-to-high-end hotels in the mainland, adopted the model of leasing properties, and quickly laid out Miramar hotels in some second-tier cities in the mainland.

The third- and fourth-tier hotels are suitable for the current economic environment in the mainland, and the occupancy rate is much higher than that of the five-star hotel.

"Well, then continue to look for suitable targets to open stores, and lay out the hotel market in the mainland as soon as possible."

"Okay"

After Li Mingtao left, Lin Zuhui thought about it, although the New Era Group only accounted for 34.5% of the Miramar Hotel, he still tried his best to assist Yang Bingzheng in his development.

Because Lin Zuhui knew that as soon as Yang Bingzheng died, Miramar Hotel would completely belong to the New Era Group.

As for the low holdings, he does not need to worry, and after the financial crisis, it is still possible to increase his holdings to 49%.

There is no need to delist, so as not to hurt the feelings of the collaborators!

Lin Zuhui has a motto, and he has always warned himself: "You must leave room for doing things, don't do things absolutely, everyone earns money, and everyone shares benefits, so that people are willing to cooperate." If it's fair to take 10% of the shares, it's okay to take 11%, but if you only take 9% of the shares, the money will come in. ”

This is also the reason why he can make a lot of money alone, but he has to take everyone to get rich together.

If he is greedy enough, he can privatize New Era Group in the event of a financial crisis, or take a 75% stake; The monetary cost is something he can afford.

However, he must lead the shareholders to make money together, so that he can have enough influence and a sense of accomplishment. There are 60,000 or 70,000 shareholders of New Era Group, and they all hope that Lin Zuhui will lead the company to make money, and they will worry about Lin Zuhui's health and safety..... is like Lee Jae-yong of Samsung in his previous life, the government wants to put him in prison for a few years, and the result is not only Samsung, but also the entire South Korean economy, and in the end, it will be the end.

Whether Lin Zuhui can also become the Li family of Samsung in Xiangjiang, he thinks it is inevitable! By the time his 'cultural empire' was established, he would no longer be a mere real estate developer.

And this cultural empire includes: TV stations, entertainment companies, record companies, production companies, cinemas, print media, the Internet, games, comics, software, ...... It may feed more than 100,000 Hong Kong people.

There is also overseas influence and honor, which can also make him greater in Xiangjiang!
