Chapter 568 [1994]
1994 year.
In the past year, Lin Zuhui's wealth has increased significantly, and his net worth is already 150 billion in the stock market alone.
He should be the richest man for two years.
If nothing else, Bill Gates only had a chance to reach the top in 1996.
The biggest contributor is, of course, the New Era Group.
The Hang Seng Index closed at 12,100 points last year, and the market value of New Era Group was as high as 218 billion, only 30 billion less than HSBC, which is very incredible.
In the eyes of professionals, HSBC's asset value is much higher than that of New Era Group, which is not an order of magnitude at all.
However, the New Era Group is sought after by shareholders, and its profitability is really strong. (In 1993, it was estimated to be HK$16 billion, and non-recurring profit increased to HK$2 billion, excluding dividends and book appreciation of stocks invested in U.S. stocks)
Lin Zuhui deservedly became the first chaebol in Xiangjiang, with a market value of 330 billion, accounting for 12.2% of the total market value. (HSBC is not a family company, regardless of the chaebol list, otherwise the market value of HSBC and Hang Seng will still exceed that of Lin Zuhui Holdings)
And Lin Zuhui's hidden wealth is also more than 100 billion yuan, and these assets are real cash flow; Funds that include investing in U.S. stocks can be cashed out at any time without depreciating the book.
Monday, January 3rd.
The work of the new year was officially launched, and Lin Zuhui also came to the New Era Group on time, generally as long as he was in Xiangjiang, he must be on time at the company's office on weekdays.
Of course, as a boss, how can he be in the office all the time, so he is often not in the company; Or accompany guests outside, or inspect outside, and may even be absent from work to desertion.
In the morning, Lin Zuhui had a meeting with all the senior executives.
The restructuring of Chinese Estates has been completed, after all, it is only the restructuring of the group's subsidiary, so it has not caused much movement.
After the reorganization, New Era Commercial Management Co., Ltd. will manage its global rental collection properties in a unified manner, and New Era Commercial Management has a total of four subsidiaries: Chinese Real Estate, Central Plaza Shopping Center, Futura Real Estate Investment Management, and Amazon Shopping Center.
Lin Zuhui opened his mouth and said: "Goldman Sachs has already found a good acquisition company for us, and later Gao Yi, you will lead the team to work in advance." It is important to remember to keep as many people as possible from the original management and staff to avoid losing talent during the transition. ”
Goldman Sachs moved quickly, finding an American real estate company with 19 shopping malls for Amazon, and the price was also relatively ideal, more than $1 billion.
The problem now is that other people's shopping malls are doing well, and they must not cause personnel turmoil at the time of acquisition, thus affecting the development.
After Amazon's acquisition, it was not a one-time renovation of all 19 shopping malls, but in batches.
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely handle this matter." Amazon's management has also recruited about the same, and Goldman Sachs has also introduced us to president-level talent......."
Speaking of this, Lin Zuhui has to admire Goldman Sachs' attitude of doing things, which is really for the sake of customers. In fact, they are not only involved in the acquisition issues, but also give a lot of business advice and help.
Of course, there is no need to question the strength of business management in the new era, and it is also a large commercial real estate company with rich management experience.
Lin Zuhui continued: "If it is an acquisition fund of 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, how can the company pay for it, and it will not have much impact? ”
Liang Zhenxun immediately said: "After cashing out the shares in the Hong Kong stock market, we have almost 11 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. I propose to make the acquisition with 6 billion cash and 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in loans. As a result, the company still has enough cash to cover the expansion in the new year. ”
The bigger the company, the more the New Era Group controls its liabilities, which has become an unspoken rule.
Lin Zuhui took this suggestion!
Although there is only 5 billion Hong Kong dollars left in the account, there are almost 3~5 months left for Lou Li to roll in, which will bring huge cash flow to the company.
Of course, this is not to say that during the adjustment period, the revenue of New Era Group will decrease a lot. This is certainly impossible, after all, the New Era Group also has to pay attention to 'goods like rotation', if the real estate market is not good, then the house must be reduced, packaged, and sold.
Therefore, Louli in 1994 will definitely not be lower than that in 1993; And the Louli in 1995 is about the same as the Louli in 1994.
........
That night, half past nine ATV.
"I am He Jun"
"I served in the xxxx unit"
"I have climbed to the top of Mount Everest"
"I have also crossed the icy and biting white ice ocean"
"Now, my challenge this time is to go into one of the most dangerous parts of the Americas alone"
"Rocky Mountains"
"Millions of people walk in every year, but 2,000 don't come out"
At half past nine that night, ATV's Chinese channel officially broadcast "Survival in the Wilderness", and this program has been promoted for half a month, I believe it will attract many people interested.
ATV's "Survival in the Wilderness" program attracted the attention of many citizens in Xiangjiang for a while.
In this incident, in the TV picture, He Jun took a plane and flew over the Rocky Mountains.
"The pilot could tell me to jump at any time"
"Where it fell, I don't know"
"I don't have a map, I don't have extra clothes, water, food, or even a radio."
"My mission is simple, to use the whole body solution in five days"
"Come Out Alive"
Then, He Jun climbed onto the side wing of the plane, let go of his hand, and staged a parachute jump.
Audience: "Damn, it's so exciting!" ”
Audience: "It's amazing, He Jun is flying in the air, he doesn't open an umbrella, nothing will happen!" ”
Audience: "Produced by ATV, it must be a high-quality product." It seems that it is another big copyright program, the light of the Chinese! ”
The audience on the TV watched He Jun flip in the air, and then fly down in the air at a very slow speed, and suddenly they seemed to be facing it, and their hearts beat faster.
In fact, the audience doesn't know how good the photographer is at shooting this shot.
And the cost of filming this show is also high, the production cost of one episode is millions of Hong Kong dollars, and two episodes are almost the cost of a 20-episode episode.
Of course, advertisers like ATV's new programs the most, and the advertising cost of an episode of "Survival in the Wilderness" is more than 12 million; The advertising fee for 12 episodes in the first season is 150 million.
He Jun was churning in the air, seemingly very chic, but it soon made the audience nervous because he was hung on a tree.
"It hurts."
Narrator: "There is always danger in jumping into an unknown place!" ”
"I'm still 18 meters off the ground, and if I jump, I'm going to die."
The audience was worried and stared nervously at the TV.
"Wouldn't it be, the show was in trouble in the first episode? Do you want to stop recording? ”
For a while, the audience participated in it.
Next, He Jun opened the auxiliary umbrella while explaining. With the parachute, he was only 6 meters above the ground.
At this time, He Jun incarnated as a master of science popularization, explaining how to jump at this height to avoid physical injury.
That's a bit of knowledge!
Next, collect useful things, explain the dangers of the Rocky Mountains, and activate the 'Ho Taunt'......
That night, it was just one episode of "Survival in the Wilderness", and the citizens of Xiangjiang were like opening a new world, it turned out that the show could still do this, ATV was really invincible!
ATV is not only the best TV station in Xiangjiang and the Chinese, but also regarded as the 'light of the Chinese' by the citizens of Xiangjiang, after all, cultural output is far more incredible than commodity output.
........
Following.
The people of Xiangjiang are not only discussing the stock market, but also ATV's "Survival in the Wilderness".
As Lam's wealth has upgraded, so have his ambitions, one of which is to build Heung Kong into the 'entertainment capital of the world', and all kinds of entertainment industries will be unprecedentedly developed.
A classic variety show can always have copyright income, the adaptation right of the TV station and the copyright of the Internet can be said to be 'a version in hand, and the income is always there'.
The same is true for dramas and movies, and the copyright fee can be received in the Internet era, as well as DVD and Blu-ray copyrights, etc.
If you want to talk about copyright, you have to mention the song "Happy Birthday to You", which is only 6 words and has collected copyright fees for nearly 100 years; The rights-holding company was acquired by Warner Records in 1990 for $15 million, of which "Happy Birthday to You" was valued at $5 million. Warner claimed that it was illegal to perform the song in public without permission unless royalties were paid to them. It is estimated that Warner makes more than $2 million a year from this. It was not until 2015 that this situation was removed by a U.S. court.
Therefore, intellectual copyright is really profitable, if ATV has the copyright of dozens of variety shows, and they have been adapted by various TV stations around the world and purchased by various video companies around the world, it is really lying down to make money.
In the morning, Lin Zuhui took time to come to the training base of his security company.
Liu Dehua, Yuan Liangliang and several other leading actors also came here to prepare for a ten-day special training. If these leading actors say who is the most difficult to get it, it is of course Liu Dehua, who is now on fire.
However, the golden sign of DreamWorks, coupled with the investment of $15 million in the 'Entering Haolaiwu blockbuster', is enough to make Liu Dehua make up his mind and work hard.
Seeing Lin Zuhui come to the scene in person, Liu Dehua, Yuan Liangliang and others were a little surprised, can this elder still be in person?
Looking at several artists on the playground, Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "You must be prepared to suffer, but don't quit me halfway!" ”
Pressure!
Everyone feels that offending the elder is a terrible thing in itself, and if you offend Lin Zuhui, the godfather of the entertainment industry, I am afraid that your acting career will be ruined.
"Lin Sheng, rest assured, we signed the contract." Liu Dehua said immediately. He attaches great importance to his acting career and thinks that this is a great opportunity, after all, DreamWorks has successively won the three box office guarantees of Chow Runhua, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Lianjie.
Lin Zuhui patted Andy's shoulder and said, "This training is in Hong Kong and the United States, and we have paid a lot of price for this. Of course, if you perform well, we will give priority to you in the future, and you will not have to train again. ”
At this time, Lin Zuhui suddenly thought that if Liu Dehua was used as the starring actor to shoot a movie adaptation of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in his previous life, it would definitely have a good effect.
Of course, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has a bigger investment, and everything has to be done slowly. ATV can lose one blockbuster a year, but it must not lose two blockbusters, so as not to be gossiped about by shareholders.
After all, this is just Lin Zuhui's toy.
At this time, Yuan Liangliang said a little nervously: "It can't really be devil training, right?" She said this, but she relied on her private relationship with Lin Zuhui.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Of course, it is impossible to train you as soldiers, but what you are trained must be the most effective and exciting fights in the movie." DreamWorks is transforming itself into a fight scene that mimics Laiwu's fight scenes, abandoning the original complex fight scenes in Hong Kong. ”
Yuan Liangliang didn't dare to say anything, she always felt that she was fooled, the box office of "New Love" she filmed last year was 30 million, and "New Love" was easy to win at the Academy Awards.
After a simple condolence, Lin Zuhui said goodbye to everyone.
