Monday, 2 January 1995.

On the first working day of the new year, Lin Zuhui came to the office of New Era Group as usual.

At the end of last year, he spent $1 billion to acquire an 80% stake in Kingston and a $800 million stake in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which was widely reported by the Hong Kong media.

Of course, there is a lot of negative news, and some people have brought it up again, saying that he is relocating capital, and there are still many people who hold this view. Lin Zuhui no longer cares about it, his investment in the mainland has been 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the actual expenditure has been 12 billion Hong Kong dollars (the loan ratio is heavier), and he is already the final company of many Chinese.

He is too lazy to explain too much now, and occasionally uses his own media to promote positive energy, and no longer accepts interviews with other media companies.

In the morning, New Era Group held a group high-level meeting, which was attended by more than a dozen core executives.

Everyone has made a work report, and the overall development of the group can be described by the word "enterprising", especially in the field of retail real estate and hotels in Europe and the United States.

After listening to everyone's reports, Lin Zuhui immediately knew in his heart.

At present, the company still has a cash flow of 12.5 billion Hong Kong dollars on its books, and its non-recurring profit last year was nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the annual profit was about 21 billion Hong Kong dollars. A lot of new liabilities were added, and the Group's debt reached HK$21.5 billion.

The reason for the HK$3 billion non-recurring profit was that Chinese Estates sold half of the equity interest in Octopus Bank Tower to Octopus Bank for HK$2 billion; The reason for selling only half of the space is simple, because it is easy to manage, after all, Octopus Financial Group does not occupy much office space.

"This year, the group will focus on supporting Amazon Shopping Center and Langham Hotel Group, even if the group has a debt of 30 billion, it must also be supported. Therefore, the colleagues in charge of these two departments must do a good job in the work at hand. To be honest, it's very easy for you to ask me to raise money, but to buy assets, you have to manage them well to have a future, so you have to work hard! ”

"Yes, Boss!" The two foreign core high-level officials immediately replied seriously.

Steve, the president of Amazon Mall, is also the vice president of New Era Commercial Management, and also has the authority to manage Futura Real Estate (rent-collecting properties in Europe and the United States); Therefore, he is reused, managing the rent-collecting ancestral business of the New Era Group in Europe and the United States.

The management of office buildings in Europe and the United States is not so easy, especially the office buildings in Manhattan, his tax model is different, and because it is an old-fashioned building, it needs to be carefully managed. Of course, Futura Property also has a local management team and president.

On the whole, New Era Group belongs to an international, high-quality and efficient management team.

Lin Zuhui said to Liang Zhenxun again: "Do a good job of financial arrangements and support!" ”

Liang Zhenxun nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Zuhui said to Chen Bin: "Heung Kong's work is mostly handed over to senior staff, and the focus is on global business, and within three to five years, the local profit of New Era Group will be lower than the global profit." Most of the global profits are in Europe and the United States. ”

It is clear that the New Era Group is indeed mobilizing funds and moving in the direction of Europe and the United States.

Chen Bin said seriously: "Well, I will definitely manage the work of the group well and share more for the boss." ”

He is the president of the group, and Lin Zuhui has always been delegating power to the president, and now Lin Zuhui does not need to sign hundreds of millions of projects, and he will not sign.

After a meeting, the general direction of this year's group has almost become clear.

This year, the profit of the New Era Group may exceed 25 billion, and growth is inevitable; Non-recurring profits are also expensive, not surprisingly, only short selling the US dollar, JPY, Nikkei, should be able to make a profit of 30~4 billion Hong Kong dollars; In addition, at that time, the backhand purchase of the US dollar and the yen will allow the non-recurring profit of the New Era Group to climb to 5 billion.

He was originally a stock god, and there was no problem in leading the company to make some money in finance.

These do not include the investment in U.S. stocks, and the current market value of New Era Group in U.S. stocks has reached $1.35 billion, and it made a profit of nearly 35% again last year; This is still less, and the shares of Citibank and Microsoft are estimated to skyrocket by more than 40% this year.

As far as Lin Zuhui knows, throughout the nineties, Citibank's stock price returned more than 40% on average per year, and Microsoft was not weaker than this return. And this investment of the New Era Group can return about 10 billion US dollars at the end of the 90s, which is simply refreshing.

Because of this, Lin Zuhui decided to borrow money to develop the company, so he should invest in advance.

After the meeting.

Lin Zuhui came to his office, saw that the Hang Seng Index on the computer was below 8000 points, showed a smile, and was bet by him again.

At the end of 1993 ~ the beginning of 1994, the family office cashed out more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars from Heung Kong Securities, with an average of about 11,300 points in the Hang Seng Index.

Now that the Hang Seng Index has fallen to less than 8,000 points, if you buy now, it is equivalent to making a 30% difference.

In fact, the family office has been instructed by Lin Zuhui to start buying back more than 6 billion yuan of blue chips below 8,000 points.

And Lin Zuhui also believes that the Hang Seng Index will fall below 7,000 points, but it doesn't matter, anyway, family offices are also buying in batches, which will reduce the average purchase price.

All Jardine Matheson companies will cancel the status of Xiangjiang's second-listed company from today, so the Hang Seng Index in January should be the time to hit the bottom.

Thinking of this, he decided to let Hengjin Investment buy futures contracts, and strive to earn some pocket money from it this year.

Recently, he changed his mind, and this year, each of the eight immortals will receive an investment quota of HK$300 million, and the remaining four beauties will receive a quota of HK$200 million. As a result, he will have to spend 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although he is currently in high debt, amounting to $1 billion, he is not in a hurry. Gold, foreign exchange, rent, dividends, these incomes can bring him about 10 billion income, why worry about no money!

In a movie theater, the film adaptation of Mr. and Mrs. Smith from a past life is playing on the screen, while there are only two people in the entire theater; Don't get me wrong, this is because Lin Zuhui chartered a VIP theater of DreamWorks Cinemas, and the two audiences in addition to him, there is also the heroine Yuan Liangliang.

On the screen, the male and female protagonists had some exciting Q scenes, not only did not make Lin Zuhui feel 'shame', but there was an inexplicable feeling of excitement. Although Yuan Liangliang is his woman, Lin Zuhui has never regarded her as his concubine, to put it bluntly, she is a prop seeking porcelain muscle, so as long as she doesn't make a tertiary film, it is not a problem.

DreamWorks has filmed two blockbusters in a row, and the response has been very good, and the first "Resident Evil" has even recovered nearly seventy percent of the cost in half a year, and it is not surprising that it can also be released in the United States. Therefore, it is impossible to lose money, but there will be follow-up income as a profit in the future.

The movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is more popular than "Resident Evil", and the Taiwanese filmmaker directly gave a buyout fee of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record for buyouts. The reason is very simple, the first is that "Resident Evil" is very good at the box office on Taiwan Island; The second is that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" invested 20 million US dollars (actually more than 17 million US dollars) and was filmed in the United States; The third is that Liu Dehua himself is very popular in Taiwan and South Korea.

Buy out, buy out, anyway, DreamWorks is 'fighting for fame', making money is secondary;

What's more, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can be released in the mainland, and since 1994, in order to save the film industry, the mainland has started to introduce foreign films, which has given DreamWorks the opportunity.

In short, for films with an investment of less than $20 million, DreamWorks can still recoup its costs in about two or three years, and it can even be profitable. Because of this, DreamWorks is currently preparing to shoot "The Matrix" and still chooses to shoot in the United States, but the main actors are all from Xiangjiang.

smashing two blockbusters a year and raising the signboard of DreamWorks is Lin Zuhui's original intention. And what does he need to pay, it is nothing more than a brain move, remember what excellent movies he remembers, make an outline and hand it to Pan Cheng, and then tell him the details to remember, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

Why are you so serious!

Seeing the passion play between the two killer couples on the screen, Lin Zuhui pulled Yuan Liangliang into his arms and unceremoniously reached into it.

"Don't, this is a movie theater, how bad it would be if someone saw it!" Yuan Liangliang was frightened. She could see that Lin Zuhui was serious.

Lin Zuhui was unmoved, and said: "Don't be afraid, there are my bodyguards guarding the door, and the two of us are Mr. and Mrs. Smith today." After speaking, he put Yuan Liangliang in front of him and motioned for her to squat.

Yuan Liangliang immediately understood that this man was looking for porcelain muscles! However, she didn't hesitate too much, and quickly wrapped up Da Wu.

It's cool!

is finally worthy of spending a huge amount of money to make Yuan Liangliang popular, at this time she has already become popular Maggie Cheung, I heard that Jack Cheng and Zhou Xingchi lined up to invite her to make a movie, and it just so happened that DreamWorks did not have her drama this year.

Lin Zuhui looked at the big screen, his whole body was refreshed, he was dual-purpose, and it didn't affect him to watch movies at all. And a movie is 120 minutes, except for the previous more than 20 minutes, the remaining 100 minutes are easy for him, he is afraid that Yuan Liangliang will beg for mercy, so let her borrow props O for 20 minutes.

"There's no surveillance, right?" Yuan Liangliang spit out and asked.

"What do you think, public places in Xiangjiang can't earn surveillance. And I asked the bodyguard to check it, and this is another VIP room! ”

"Hehe, you're not afraid, and I'm not afraid!"

After Yuan Liangliang finished speaking, she stood up, and then her clothes slipped off one by one, and soon Sister Hong Kong's graceful figure was visible at a glance.

"I'm going to sit up!"

For a while, the main drama began.

Life is short, and you have to be happy in time.

No matter how much money you make, what's the point if you can't spend it casually!

Who would have thought that the richest man in the world would be keen to do such a thing?

In the eyes of ordinary people, some well-known and wealthy people are sanctimonious, but in fact?

Even a 'great person' like Bill Gates has maintained a long-term relationship with the company's employees, and the loving husband and wife are no match for the years.

In the theater, Yuan Liangliang held the seats in the front row, Lin Zuhui worked hard in the back, and he could still watch movies, which was very enjoyable.
