After three days in South Korea, Lin Zuhui set off for Hong Kong.

During this period, a contract of 2.1 million tons of new ships was signed, and about 350,000 tons of second-hand ships were purchased; At the same time, his major conglomerates are preparing to expand their investments in South Korea.

For example, LEIT Group's brands such as 'Jeanswest' and 'Zuo Dannu' are ready to open a large number of new stores against the market, after all, Lin Zuhui knows that South Korea is the first country or region to recover from the financial crisis.

For example, Langham Hospitality Group is preparing to enter Seoul with the opening of Langham Hotels and Ritz-Carlton hotels.

Investments like this have begun to be prepared.

Even Lin Zuhui's private investment company has sharpened its knives, and in May, it bought the shares of South Korean listed companies hand-picked by Lin Zuhui.

As for the acquisition of the company, it will probably wait until after May; Lin Zuhui remembers that South Korea seems to have allowed foreign companies to take over South Korean companies hostilely this year. At that time, if there is a favorite company, it is inevitable that the butcher knife will also be lit up and show its true face.

The price of ordering ships in South Korea this time is much cheaper than the cost of mainland enterprises, and I can't help but sigh that Koreans also like 'rolls'.

Before the financial crisis, 1 dollar was equal to 985 won;

The highest record for December last year was: 1 US dollar is equal to 2,000 won;

This year has stabilized, and the current exchange rate is: 1 US dollar is equal to 1,450 won.

In fact, the Korean won still depreciated by about 40%, so the new ships and old ships are very cheap, and shipbuilders naturally come to order.

.......

Tuesday, March 10.

Sina (NASDAQ)', an Internet portal website with the theme of 'Bringing China to the World and Bringing the World to China' planned by Netflix, was officially launched, attracting the attention of all parties in Hong Kong for a while.

Netflix may not be well-known, but its companies are famous, such as ICQ, which rejected Microsoft's $600 million and AOL's $1.2 billion offers, as well as its huge user base.

Wanhui Media, the parent company of Netflix Software, is now the representative of Xiangjiang's 'technology stocks' and 'Internet stocks', and its market value is far higher than that of its brother companies, LEIT Group and ATV Group, which are almost the same at the beginning, and now has a market value of 66 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In the case of the decline of the Xiangjiang stock market, Wanhui Media is still rising against the market, and I can't help but sigh at the charm of the 'Internet' in the present.

Sina.com provides 'Chinese Fashion' and e-commerce services for the global Chinese in Greater China and overseas Chinese-speaking communities, including tourism, culture, science, academics, art, fashion, games, news, sports, entertainment and other projects.

In addition, Sina will operate three main portals under the name Sina to provide content and services. These portals will be localized and featured in major Chinese communities around the world, including Chinese Taipei, Singapore, Beijing, Magic City, Sydney, San Francisco, and Vancouver.

For a while, investors from all sides paid attention, and Wanhui Media's stock price rose again.

Wanhui Media's four major businesses: media, animation, games, and software, all of which can be called high-quality assets and businesses, especially the three businesses of animation, games, and software, if they are spun off and listed, I don't know how much market they will detonate.

Because of this, many investment institutions are very eager for Wanhui Media's subsidiaries and grandchildren to be listed, but Wanhui Media's capital flow is sufficient, not to mention, the important thing is that the profitability is good.

Let's take the game department that was established later, Ninth City, for example, which has already achieved a lot of profits, which is enough to support the re-development of Ninth City; After all, "Resident Evil", "Pokémon", and "Age of Empires" are all worldwide game products, each of which sells millions of dollars, and subsequent versions are being produced one after another.

Netflix software is slightly worse, and it can't make a profit at present, but the loss is not very serious, after all, there are other software that makes money and outsourcing business makes money. The main reason for the heavy losses is that ICQ currently has no profit channels, and even advertisements have not been implanted; There are hundreds of engineers in charge of this software alone, and the cost is very high.

Because of this, both IAs will be listed before the bubble crisis to raise funds for subsequent development.

In the office of a media group.

Lin Zuhui's website was not uncomfortable because of its network speed and version, after all, he had already used the Internet and was used to the website of this era.

On the contrary, the sina website made his eyes shine, and he felt that whether it was operation, or technical maintenance, etc., it was very good. After all, the Group's budget for the Sina website is HK$380 million, which is mainly used for pre-technology development, marketing and the development of e-commerce of sister companies.

These funds are enough to support the listing next year, when the stock market fundraising will become a major event in Xiangjiang, after all, there is Lin Zuhui's signboard, and it is the era of the Internet bubble, and it will not be a myth to subscribe more than 1,000 times.

"Boss" Liu Songcheng, president of Netflix Software, walked in and said respectfully.

Liu Songcheng is also the president of Sina.com, after all, ICQ software, Sitong (intelligent transportation system), Netflix software (grandson company, outsourcing business), these subsidiaries of Netflix software, all have elite presidents in charge, so he will temporarily serve as the president of Sina.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then said: "The development plan of Sina.com will report to me in person!" ”

Liu Songcheng immediately said: "Okay"

He didn't dare to be careless, don't look at the boss and spend a circle, but he knew that the boss was very planned for Sina's development.

After all, the boss is the world's Internet giant, and Internet companies such as Netscape, Yahoo, and Amazon in the United States all have the investment of the boss, and the boss has also served as its director, which can be called an Internet investment tycoon.

Because of this, the boss is very familiar with this line of work, and everyone knows it very well.

Next, Liu Songcheng reported his work in detail, he is an overseas Internet elite, he was invited back to Xiangjiang by Lin Zuhui for development, he is an insider, not an outsider, so he is very prepared for the report.

After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui commented: "There is no problem with your development plan, and the content, technology, and operation are all very good!" ”

Liu Songcheng hurriedly said modestly: "The boss planned well, coupled with the talent invited by the boss from the United States to join, and our experience in operating Yahoo (Xiangjiang), so we are not strangers to this industry!" ”

Yahoo and Amazon are all agents of the Xiangjiang business by Netflix software, after all, Lin Zuhui is a director, and the Xiangjiang business is not large, these companies all give Lin Zuhui face.

Lin Zuhui said sharply: "But you have forgotten about the expansion!"

Liu Songcheng immediately said: "The boss means to prepare to go public, and then carry out acquisition and expansion. ”

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile and said, "I don't blame you for this!" ”

After all, the matter of listing has to be decided by Lin Zuhui.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "Strive to go public early next year, and after the listing, we will start to acquire and expand the company." For example, the acquisition of outdoor media in the mainland and the publishing group in Taiwan...... Wait, that's how the internet plays. As long as our shares are valuable, the acquisition will be done with little to no cost, and the issuance of new shares can be completed. In this way, it is getting bigger and bigger, and a large media group comes out. And we, Wanhui Media, have also changed from paper media to Internet media..."

Liu Songcheng was fascinated by what he heard, and finally said: "Don't worry, boss, I have written down your instructions!" ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Work hard, the future is the world of the Internet, and the traditional paper media is already in the twilight." Sina.com must become the largest media company in Greater China. ”

"Okay!"

After Liu Songcheng left, Lin Zuhui showed a smile, with his bonus as the richest man in the world, Sina.com's market value of 30 billion US dollars is easy. After all, Li Chaoren's tom network did it in his previous life, not to mention the Sina he did.

Of course, if you want to have a high market capitalization, you must acquire more businesses. Sina should not only be a web portal, but also a cross-platform, cross-mainland and Xiangjiang media holding company, talking about the media industry chain, not limited to a certain field.

Outdoor media in the mainland is a fat 'cake', of course, only for a certain period of time, probably until 2010.

When the snowball gets bigger and bigger, Wanhui Media Group can cash out some of the funds from its subsidiaries to obtain huge profits.

........

Lin Zuhui went to the next city, which was in a hurry to the Li family in Xiangjiang.

Cheung Kong Group.

Li Zeju came to Li Chaoren's office and said, "Baba, Lin Zuhui's business territory has expanded a lot. In particular, they have almost a monopoly on the share of the Internet in Xiangjiang, and almost everyone who uses computers uses their software and websites, and even the games they play are their own. ”

Li Chaoren raised his head, looked at his son who was a little anxious, and said seriously: "There is no way to be anxious, others have a large amount of cash reserves, and they also have the consciousness of being one step ahead, so it is naturally easy to succeed." ”

Li Zeju immediately said: "Forget about the Internet, but Times Shipping has made a lot of moves recently, taking the British Port of Thames and ordering 2.1 million tons of ships in South Korea." According to my prediction, Times Shipping wants to become a shipping giant like Maersk and the Mediterranean. Originally, we didn't do shipping, so it couldn't affect us, but they acquired ports around the world, and they were bound to compete with us! ”

Li Chaoren still said calmly: "There are many ports in every country, everyone has their own, what does it matter." What's more, their cash flow is so rich that they are bound to buy a lot of money, and we can't compare to others. Hutchison Whampoa's funds are limited after all, and we hope to successfully issue 2 billion pounds of overseas bonds this year, so that we can have more liquidity. ”

Li Zeju sighed, you must know that Thames Port is also what the Li family longs for, but he didn't expect Lin Zuhui to take it one step ahead. While the Lee family has a better relationship with London, Britain is unlikely to invest in the world's richest man.

Li Chaoren saw that his son's morale was low, and immediately said seriously: "There are so many businesses in the world, you always compare yourself to others, as long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy your favorite assets." At the same time, you should also be aware of the importance of cash flow, and when you have enough money, you can buy assets in new areas. You look at Times Shipping, the asset restructuring began last year, and it was completed at the beginning of this year, and then immediately started the global buy-buy-buy model, which shows that others have already planned. There is also a core factor involved, do you know what it is? ”

Li Zeju is not stupid, and quickly reacted: "It's periodic!" ”

Li Chaoren nodded and said with satisfaction: "That's the case, so this time is also our opportunity, and the entire group will take advantage of this Asian economic downturn to expand." Ports in Southeast Asia, oil ..... in Canada These are our opportunities! ”

"Okay, I got it, Baba!"

.......

In late March, the Hang Seng Index rose to 13,500 points, which surprised Lin Zuhui.

With such a high position, it can be said that there is almost no 'financial crisis' in Xiangjiang, after all, it has only fallen by less than 4,000 points, compared with the peak in August last year.

Lin Zuhui guessed that the most important thing should be the reason why his five companies performed very well, so it must be about 1,500 points higher than in his previous life.

The Hang Seng Index is calculated based on 33 constituent stocks, and Lin Zuhui alone uses four constituent stocks, and the proportion of these four constituent stocks is very high, which has a great impact on the entire index.

If the lowest drop in the previous life fell to 6,600 points this year, then it is impossible to be lower than 8,000 points in this life, even if Lin Zuhui's family office does not buy it (there is still 55 billion cash left, and 7 billion has been bought).

Judging from this situation, Lin Zuhui put the buy line at 9,500 points, and then began to gradually buy 55 billion funds, which is the best choice.

Instead of buying with the HKMA, after all, that would reveal his wealth and make things bigger.

He didn't want to be a 'national hero', so he still had to buy gradually, as long as it fell to 9,500 points, he would buy it according to the funds of 1 billion ~ 1.5 billion per day.

Of course, in this way, the final result is also: the HKMA is easier to win than in the previous life, after all, the foundation of the early stage has been played.

The office of New Era Group.

Lin Zuhui looked at the information and was in a very good mood!

In a financial crisis like this, you don't rely on acquisitions, as long as you have the money in your hands and you are confident that the country will recover quickly, you can use investment to expand.

For example, Langham Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel have begun to deploy in Asia this year, especially in Singapore, South Korea and mainland China.

When he saw the information about the acquisition of 'Li & Fung Group', Lin Zuhui wrinkled the media.

It turned out that this report pointed out that at this time, Li & Fung Group's business was mainly foreign trade, which had little to do with the shipping business of the times, and Li & Fung Group had 2 listed companies, the equity was relatively solid, the Feng family brothers had outstanding ability, and Li & Fung was the century-old foundation of Feng's family.

Although it was not clearly stated, Lin Zuhui knew that Yuan Tianfan did not recommend the acquisition.

"In this way, in the previous life, Maersk acquired Li & Fung Logistics, which was the Li & Fung Group, and at this time, the logistics business of Li & Fung Group may have just been done."

"There's really no need to buy!"

Soon, Lin Zuhui decided to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

Of course, since Li & Fung Group has not been acquired, it is natural to develop its own logistics business, and it can also acquire other logistics companies.

In short, in the last two years, shipping has to be developed and acquired on a large scale.
