On 7 August, the Hang Seng Index climbed above 17,000 points.

The market value of New Era Group has reached a terrifying 460 billion, and even Lin Zuhui was shocked.

For example, last year's net profit was more than 28 billion yuan, and the dividends in March totaled about 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, Lin Zuhui thought again, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the business of New Era Group in Europe and the United States in recent years has been quite beautiful. Amazon Malls have reached 52 and are doing very well; The rent of office buildings in the United States has increased by 50% or 60% compared with when the property was purchased; Langham Hospitality Group has developed very smoothly, and several of its luxury high-end hotel brands have boosted morale; Of course, the most important thing is that overseas securities investment is very ideal, especially the 1.5% stake of Microsoft and 2.2% of Citigroup by New Era Group have been made public.

In addition to these good news, New Era Group is still the second largest land bank of Heung Kong Real Estate Company, currently reaching 26 million square feet; Rental properties are in the first place, about 1.5 times that of the second place (the unit price is also more expensive), and mainland investment has entered the payback period, making it the largest investment group.

In general, the asset value of New Era Group is about 670 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the market value of 460 billion yuan is understandable. The only regret is that HSBC's market value of 480 billion is still better than that of New Era Group.

However, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, New Era Group was definitely more 'resistant' than any listed company, and was able to rebound as soon as possible, and continued to climb to a new high in market capitalization.

Of course, Lin Zuhui does not want the market value of New Era Group to be too high, after all, a high market value is not good for him; On the contrary, if the market capitalization is low, he can also increase his holdings, and it is not a problem to increase his holdings to more than 60% or 70%.

After all, if the acquisition is initiated according to the highest stock price in the past six months, the stock price can still be much lower than the net assets, then the shareholders will not sell to you, and naturally there is no real need for a full acquisition. is like the Cheung Kong Group in the previous life, with a market value of less than 200 billion in the end, and during that period, Li Chaoren increased his holdings hundreds of times, and his shareholding ratio became larger and larger, so he still didn't need to worry; And even if privatization is successful, it will be more beneficial to him; In fact, it is also very difficult for him to privatize.

Sun Lixin is the gold medal scout of ATV Group, she also has a hidden identity, that is, Lin Zuhui's 'Xunyan' helper, of course, this is only a secret for the two of them; she does some secret things for Lin Zuhui, Lin Zuhui pays her some remuneration, but will not open a small stove for her in ATV Group, after all, Lin Zuhui has always been 'public is public, private is private'.

Some time ago, Sun Lixin was ordered to go to the University of Toronto, Canada to find a girl named Lin Zhilin, she lived up to expectations and finally found it; coincided with Lin Chilin's graduation from university, so she invited Lin Chilin to come to ATV as an artist.

However, Lin Zhilin refused at that time, she hoped to find a job at the Taiwan Art Museum, Sun Lixin was not in a hurry, after all, if the boss really had the heart to soak this Taiwanese sister, and if she met once or twice, this Taiwanese sister would not take the initiative to give her a hug. You must know that the boss has always kept Lin Zixia and Wang Zuxian as stunning.

Therefore, Sun Lixin kept in touch with Lin Zhilin and reported the situation to the boss. And the boss doesn't seem to be in a hurry, just let yourself slowly find an opportunity to facilitate the two to meet, and ask for a little more natural.

Later, Lin Zhilin failed to find a job at the Taiwan Island Art Museum (requiring a master's degree), and her mind changed rapidly, Sun Lixin also threw an olive branch as soon as possible and arranged for Lin Zhilin to come to ATV Group as an administrative assistant.

On Saturday, Lin Zuhui came to the ATV building.

Soon, the program director Zhao Zhenqiang came to his office, and now Lin Zuhui's presence in ATV is 'not high', mainly because Lin Zuhui himself is a little avoidant, and ATV's current development is very good. Of course, Lin Zuhui has always paid attention to the development of ATV and has a complete plan in his heart.

"Boss, "Huanzhu Gege" is half broadcast on Hunan Provincial TV in the mainland, and it is almost certain that it has set the highest record in history. The current average rating is 52%, with a high of 65.2%. Zhao Zhenqiang reported excitedly.

Another reason why he is like this is that this drama was hand-picked by the boss. Nowadays, the boss rarely interferes with ATV's content, so in order to cater to the boss, he naturally wants to report the good news.

Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction, the "Huanzhu Gege" drama filmed by ATV was broadcast on ATV in April this year, and once it was broadcast, it set off a ratings record in Xiangjiang and became a strong contender for ATV's annual ratings championship. Lin Zuhui has seen it, not to mention that it is somewhat similar to the filming of Qiong Yao's drama, but the level of ATV shooting is definitely higher than the level of shooting in his previous life; Whether it is from the details of the construction, or from the sophistication of the costumes and props, "Huanzhu Gege" in the previous life is the younger brother in this life.

In this life, "Huanzhu Gege" belongs to Hong Kong dramas, which is obviously more popular, to put it simply, just like the advantages of Korean dramas in the previous life. "Huanzhu Gege" also landed on Taiwan Island in June, which also caused ratings records.

Not surprisingly, this drama will be introduced by more countries, of course, taking into account the impact of the Asian financial crisis; However, fortunately, there are many fans of Hong Kong dramas in Asian countries, and local TV stations will also consider this factor.

"Overall, the development of Hong Kong dramas has been very good in recent years, and I am very satisfied!"

Zhao Zhenqiang immediately answered: "The main reason is that the Hong Kong dramas such as "Blue Life and Death Love", "Paris Lovers", "Full House of Romance", "My Sassy Girlfriend", and "Tan Yunxian" are very good templates. After that, PD, director, and screenwriter were deeply inspired, and ATV Hong Kong dramas have since formed a culture and gradually carried forward. ”

What he meant was that Lin Zuhui's beginning was good, so that today's Hong Kong drama has developed.

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said with a smile: "ATV's abundance of talents is the cornerstone of the development of Hong Kong culture. By the way, do you think there is still a missing link in the Hong Kong culture? ”

Zhao Zhenqiang immediately concentrated, and thought about it carefully, compared to when the boss did not enter this industry, what is the difference between Xiangjiang's entertainment culture and now!

Hong Kong Drama, HK-POP (Hong Kong Music), Movies, Variety Shows. It seems that he has already dabbled in everything, and for a while, Zhao Zhenqiang could only shake his head.

"Boss, forgive me for being stupid, the culture of the port stream seems to be complete."

Lin Zuhui, everyone may think that variety shows such as "Millionaire", "The Voice of Hong Kong", "Chinese Idol", "Got Talent", "Wilderness Survival", "Big Brother" and other variety shows are also "Hong Kong Stream Variety Shows"! After all, it was ATV who started the history of the world's reality talent show.

He said seriously: "If you think about it carefully, the stars cultivated by HK-POP are called 'Hong Kong Idols', and the actors who come out of Hong Kong dramas are also called 'Hong Kong Idols'." Only variety shows such as "The Voice of Hong Kong" and "Chinese Idol" do not seem to be part of this system, but are worldwide variety shows. ”

Zhao Zhenqiang had a flash of inspiration and said: "What the boss means is that ATV should produce a type of variety show, which is closely related to Hong Kong idols and can play a role in achieving each other's programs." ”

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "That's it! After speaking, he handed a piece of information to Zhao Zhenqiang and continued: "This is the outline of the new variety show "X-MAN", you organize elite soldiers and plan them perfectly. I hope that it will officially land on ATV in the second half of next year. ”

Zhao Zhenqiang felt that his hands were about to tremble, because the boss was talking about a new variety show, that is, ATV was about to make history again, how not to make people excited.

He couldn't help but look at it on the spot!

"X-MAN reality show, one host, two deputy hosts (also captains), 7~8 players in each of the two teams, the team members mostly choose Hong Kong idols, but also models, actors, etc."

"At the beginning of the game, let the guests dance the HK-POP dance that has become popular in recent years, which can be self-choreographed"

"There are three parts in the game: unity and riding, of course, and long live the strong man."

Zhao Zhenqiang only felt that he had entered a new cultural field, and it turned out that variety shows could still have so many ways to play; Not to mention this show, it will greatly promote the distance between Hong Kong stars and fans; It's one of the games, and it's really creative.

For example, 'Of course', each team picks one person and takes turns to be the attacking side, while the other team has to answer 'Of course', which is obviously very fun. For example, if the attacker says, 'You look so ugly', if the opponent can't say 'of course', he loses the game;

And long live the couple, the first choice of the 'couple' game is also very fun, and the male couple is funny in the end.

This information is actually quite detailed, maybe Lin Zuhui has watched the Korean drama once or twice, but there are many variety shows in South Korea, he was really fascinated by it for a while in his previous life, and after watching it repeatedly, the memory is really quite profound. Moreover, many Korean stars, he actually learned about them from Han Zong.

"Boss, this information is so detailed, half a year of preparation time is enough!" Zhao Zhenqiang said excitedly.

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "You can't rush, this kind of variety show has to take your time, I have an overall plan for 'Hong Kong Stream Culture'!" If you are confident, then organize a secret project team and try to be as detailed as possible. Of course, there is a very important issue here, that is, the host, he must be able to pretend to be ugly, born as a funny artist, have outstanding hosting ability, and have good adaptability; The best, but also their own high quality, sunny and positive. And the two deputy hosts and captains, one must also be the host of the variety show, and the other can choose a non-long-term fixed male and female artist. In short, this kind of variety show is very interactive, and there are remarks on the information, study hard, this is a new variety show culture! ”

Zhao Zhenqiang nodded seriously, he was also very curious, the boss has such a big career, and he still has this kind of thing on his mind. After all, even if ATV Group has a market value of nearly 40 billion, it is only a small company under the boss.

For pickling girls?

Zhao Zhenqiang shook his head inwardly, with the boss's temperament, appearance, and wealth, only women take the initiative; The important thing is that the boss is still 'clean' in ATV.

I don't understand, but Zhao Zhenqiang doesn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, the boss is staring at him to exchange ATV content, once it breaks out that 'Lin Zuhui participates in ATV content', then it is obvious that he leaked the news, and it will be miserable to offend the boss.

After Zhao Zhenqiang left, Lin Zuhui showed a smile.

Next year, South Korean head of state Kim Dae-jong will issue the general policy of 'building a country through culture,' and Mr. Dong, the head of Hong Kong, will also issue the general policy of 'rejuvenating Hong Kong through culture'; at that time, the South Korean cultural circles will find that they have nothing to break through, but can only follow the footsteps of others and copy and copy.

The important thing is that plagiarism will never be on the table, and it will be difficult for the Korean Wave in this life to reappear in Korea, so you can only play by yourself; In addition, due to the invasion of South Korea in recent years, South Korea has a large number of fans of Hong Kong idols, so South Korea will have to face a large-scale invasion of foreign culture in the future.

At this time, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but be proud, it was good that he liked the Korean wave in his previous life, but he later changed his ways, hated the stick country, and only liked Korean women.

In this life, let him exterminate the 'Korean Wave' with his own hands!

Moreover, ATV Group has nearly 8,000 people, and Lin Zuhui also has to work hard, once these people lose their jobs, it will be a disaster for Xiangjiang.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the number of unemployed people in various countries is innumerable, and the failure of investment and unemployment are simply exacerbated.

Fortunately, the 50,000 or so Heung Kong employees (excluding overseas employees) raised by Lin Zuhui will hardly lose their jobs, but will expand due to the increase in business.

"Boss, I'll refill your tea!"

A squirming and gentle voice sounded, pulling Lin Zuhui's thoughts back to reality.

Lin Zuhui looked at Lin Zhilin who walked in, and couldn't help but show a smile, this beauty was his favorite artist in his previous life, and even the 'Japanese artist' who looked like her was his favorite artist;

"Chi Ling, are you used to ATV's work?"

Lin Zhilin's face flushed, why did the boss suddenly call so affectionately, she has been in ATV Group for almost a month, and she has met the world's richest man three times, and he almost comes to the company once a week. Even so, she was very happy.

"Habit, my colleagues are very nice to me!" Lin Zhilin said.

Lin Zuhui looked at Lin Zhilin, she is indeed a beauty, but she may not be in a 'perfect state', mainly because her temperament has not yet come up. He had already met Lin Zhilin three times, but he didn't take measures immediately, because since they had already met, they couldn't run out of the palm of his hand.

"It's good to get used to it, I'm used to you serving me!" Lin Zuhui said it seriously, but it was easy to give people ambiguity.

Sure enough, Lin Chilin's face was slightly red, she had thoughts about Lin Zuhui, so she felt like this, maybe so.

However, Lin Zhilin seemed to think of something, and whispered: "Boss, I have something I want you to report!" ”

Lin Zuhui motioned for her to continue, and looked at Lin Zhilin beside her, tall and good figure are characteristics, and the most important thing is charming, and it makes him feel a sense of substitution.

"The University of Toronto agreed to let me continue with my master's degree, so." Lin Zhilin said with some complications. If she was just an administrative assistant, she still wanted to go to a master's degree, after all, the opportunity was rare; But if .

Lin Zuhui did not disappoint Lin Zhilin, and immediately said: "But what should I do if I can't do without you?" ”

This is not as simple as ambiguity, it almost makes things clear.

"Ah, what do you mean, boss? Anyway, you only come to ATV once in a while, and whoever serves tea and water is the same! Lin Zhilin lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes, her face was flushed, and her heart was full of anticipation.

Lin Zuhui got up, came to Lin Zhilin's side, put his hands on her shoulders, and said affectionately: "How about having dinner together in the evening?" ”

Lin Zhilin raised her head, there is no need to say much about this man's charm, and he can make himself soar, she really has no reason to refuse, so she nodded casually and said, "Hmm"

Lin Zuhui smiled, smiling like a spring breeze, without a trace of discomfort. Even if he thinks about dirty things in his heart, no one will think that he is obscene, which is caused by his appearance, temperament, status and other reasons.
