Chapter 700: Entrepreneur of the Century

The beginning of a new week.

On Monday morning, Lin Zuhui habitually came to the office of New Era Group.

On his desk, a magazine he rarely reads, Time (USA), with an elegant and handsome portrait of Lin Zuhui on the cover, with the title in English, which roughly means: "Who is the millennial entrepreneur?" ”

There is no need to read the content, Lin Zuhui also knows that he has won another 'laurel', but since his subordinates are ready, he opens the magazine and reads it.

It turned out that Time magazine and Ernst & Young formed an expert panel to make a ruling on 'who is the millennial entrepreneur', and Lin Zuhui defeated 15 famous deceased and still living entrepreneurs, including Bill Gates (Microsoft), Henry Ford (Ford Motor), Richard Ackright (the first person in the British Industrial Revolution), and the Medici (Italian Renaissance family), to win this cross-era and cross-century laurel and become the most outstanding entrepreneur of the century.

According to the selection experts:

First, Lin Zuhui controls a wealth of $60 billion (the value of the shares held);

second, Lin Zuhui's huge wealth was created from scratch;

Thirdly, in any field of his diversified corporate kingdom, Lin Zuhui has achieved a well-deserved great entrepreneur.

Based on these three conditions, Lin Zuhui stands out among the global tycoons.

Putting down the magazine, the expression on Lin Zuhui's face was very natural, neither nervous 'wealth exposed', nor nervous 'sudden honor'.

In short, get used to it.

He has received too many accolades like this, and the weight of this magazine is almost meaningless.

For Lin Zuhui, what is weight?

When the heads of state invite him to attend the event, that is called weight;

The world's top chambers of commerce sent an invitation letter, that is the weight;

He attends events and donates for charity, and that's what counts.

In the morning, Chen Bin and Chen Xiaofen came together.

Chen Bin is the President of New Era Group, overseeing all the group's affairs, but the actual focus is on the global real estate business; Chen Xiaofen has been upgraded from the previous sales business to the head of Heung Kong real estate business.

Chen Xiaofen reported: "Boss, tomorrow's official land auction will be a total of three pieces of land.......

When Lin Zuhui heard this, he said: "It's all small land, take care of small and medium-sized real estate developers, you can do it yourself!" ”

The implication is to focus on participation, but do not top the price with small and medium-sized real estate developers.

New Era Group has the second largest land bank in Hong Kong, and the land cost is very low; Small and medium-sized real estate developers, because they have no land reserves, and because they are small plots, they are bound to strive for such small plots.

Although large real estate developers have strong financial resources, everyone is not stupid, this kind of small land to go to the top price with others, take more land, the cost will naturally be higher.

Chen Xiaofen's performance in recent years is enough to show that Lin Zuhui can give her the power to auction land, construction, and sales, not to mention that Chen Bin is her top boss. In fact, in important projects, not only Chen Bin has to personally participate, but even Lin Zuhui will review them from time to time, such as the 'International Financial Center'.

"Okay, I see!" Chen Xiaofen nodded.

She has an advantage over other real estate developers, because the boss said that the house price will not have much hope for several years, and the wound is difficult to repair. Based on this analysis of the big situation, she really won't risk fighting.

After all, large real estate developers are not only ridiculed for buying expensive, but also easy to be capped by small and medium-sized real estate developers in future auctions.

Chen Xiaofen reported on other work and left alone.

Next, Chen Bin said: "Boss, the subway at Canary Wharf opened in May, and the Mayor of London went to attend the event.....

Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, I will attend, you come with me!" ”

"Okay"

Canary Wharf, now the flagship of New Era Group in Europe, is developing not only Canary Wharf and its surroundings, but also other parts of London. The office building that has been developed has been leased to a 1 million square foot building by Bucklai Bank, and it is believed that all the 11 million square feet of office buildings at the beginning will be leased within next year.

As for the listing, Lin Zuhui decided to delay it until the first half of 2007!

After all, New Era Group is not short of money now!

Picking the right time to go public will bring greater benefits to the company. For example, in 2007, a real estate project listed on the stock market could raise a large amount of cash, and after the outbreak of Lehman in 2008, it would be used to buy the bottom, which would increase the speed of asset expansion several times.

.......

When Lam Cho-fai came to Cyberport, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

The world's first instant messaging software ICQ is from Hong Kong, the world's first graphic online game "Legend" is from Hong Kong, and the world's popular PC game "Age of Empires" is from Hong Kong and the Greater China portal Sina.com....... The achievements in the field of the Internet and games are all related to Hong Kong, and it is obvious that these are inseparable from the 'godfather' of Hong Kong, Lin Zuhui.

At this time, Cyberport was home to most of the city's technology companies (internet, software, gaming, digital, consulting), as well as many internationally renowned enterprises.

The future is promising, this is the understanding of the people of Hong Kong on the science and technology industry in Hong Kong, and everyone is also very confident.

Lin Zuhui came to the office building of the 'Ninth City', and he directly followed the president Gao Kelin to the studio of "Miracle MU".

Ninth City is a large-scale game developer, from handheld games, console games, to PC games, online games, not only outstanding achievements, but also quite strong, the entire company has more than 700 employees, eighty percent of whom are local people in Hong Kong.

"Boss, this computer." Xie Li, the person in charge of "Miracle Mu", invited.

Lin Zuhui nodded, sat down unceremoniously and began to try the game, as a player of online games, web games, and mobile games for so many years, he must be very professional in evaluating games; Especially, in this era when online games are just emerging.

"Miracle Mu" as a mm game (massively multiplayer role-playing game), Lin Zuhui has also participated in the development of opinions, this game has borrowed from the brother company Blizzard's "Diablo" gameplay, its game graphics are quite beautiful, there are wings system, battle alliance system and other innovative gameplay, compared to the online game "Endless Mission" developed by Sony in Japan this year, "Miracle Mu" has added a teleportation station between maps and maps.

Anyone who has played EverQuest knows that running a map is exhausting, which can greatly affect the motivation of players.

In any case, some of Lin Zuhui's ideas and creativity are an important factor in influencing the development of games in Ninth City; In addition, the Ninth City's more than seven years of game development history is also strong.

While Lin Zuhui was playing, Xie Li, the person in charge of the studio, explained, played for a while, and directly changed Lin Zuhui's high-level account; Even so, it took more than two hours of playing before Lin Zuhui ended the game satisfied.

At this time, the onlookers were already three layers inside and three layers outside, and the world's richest man was concentrating on playing online games, what a strange thing.

During this period, Lin Zuhui expressed some opinions, which were naturally recorded by the studio.

"Well, this game is good!" Lin Zuhui finally exclaimed.

Xie Li hurriedly said: "Thank you boss for the compliment, we will continue to work hard to improve, and strive to make players ignite new fighting spirit every time a new version is released!" ”

Lin Zuhui patted Xie Li on the shoulder, which immediately encouraged him.

"It's about being innovative! If Hong Kong is to become a key R&D region for the world's games, we must always maintain a spirit of humility and innovate and learn all the time. ”

As soon as the words ended, everyone applauded. As you know, this boss is in charge of the world game industry, and Blizzard and Activision in the United States, and Kingsoft Games in the mainland are all his industries or investment companies. And Heungjiang's software and game industry was cultivated by him.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Lin Zuhui is a god-like figure.

Then, Lin Zuhui asked: "How many online game players are there in Xiangjiang?" ”

This statistic is very good, just look at how many active players there are in Legend 1 every day.

Gao Kelin immediately said: "About 10,000 people, this number is still rising!" ”

Although Ninth City has only released one online game, Legend 1, it has established a network in more than 50 countries (either directly established or represented or jointly ventured), and already has a global distribution channel.

In the previous life, three of the top ten richest people in South Korea were born in the game industry, not because of how big the Korean game industry is, but because South Korea exports through games.

Lin Zuhui said: "This scale is not bad! ”

Gao Kelin said with a smile: "Almost soon after our side, we can quickly set up servers in Taiwan Island, Singapore, Japan and other regions and countries. For Miracle MU, we are confident that it will become a classic game that will last for a long time. ”

Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said: "South Korea should also enter it as soon as possible, whether it is an agent or a server by itself, in short, it is to suppress the Korean game industry." ”

"No problem!"

Everyone understands that South Korea and Xiangjiang have recently formulated the same general policy, so they will compete directly. If you can get your products into Korea, you will be able to defeat them directly.

In Lin Zuhui's view, not only for this reason, but also the birth of "Miracle Mu", which may make the game company of Stick Country fall into a 'plagiarism storm'. There are two consequences: first, if a Korean game developer is already working on the project, it will stop developing it, or change a lot of ideas; Second, when a Korean game developer releases a similar game, it is obviously a plagiarism scandal, and the ninth city will definitely report this kind of thing in the Korean media, which will not only lose face in South Korea, but also in the world.

Lin Zuhui also didn't know if the two games "Miracle Mu" and "Ragnarok" were developed by Korean game companies, so he thought so; But what he can be sure of is that after the millennium, if the ninth city wants to develop the "Audition", "Adventure Island", and "Go-Kart" that he is more familiar with, the stick country must not directly copy it, because this is too obvious. Later, there were "Crossfire" and "Dungeons and Warriors", which almost wiped out the games of the Stick Country.

As the saying goes, how ruthless the stick country exported to the mainland in the previous life, how ruthless they will be cut off in this life.

.......

Friday, April 23rd.

"Miracle MU" officially launched the internal test in Xiangjiang, and for a while, the Internet cafes in Xiangjiang were overcrowded, and many people couldn't wait to start preparing for the experience.

In order to develop online games, the Ninth City has invested in many Internet cafes in Hong Kong, accounting for almost 80% of the Internet cafes in Hong Kong. At the same time, Hong Kong people are rich themselves, and the proportion of computer owners occupies the top three in the world.

As a result, although there are only 6 million people in Hong Kong, there are a lot of online game players, and even as many as 600,000 in later generations.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, some people even took leave to come to the Internet café, intending to experience "Miracle Mu" for the first time, which shows everyone's love; After all, it has been advertised for so long in advance, and many people have already been fascinated.

"What a delicate picture! And wings, it looks so mighty! ”

"Mu Kingdom...... Monster Invasion ..... Brave Continent"

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the Internet café, and there was a lot of applause.

.......

Naturally, "Miracle MU" also ushered in the attention of Asian game developers and agents, and for a time I had a deep understanding of the game industry in Hong Kong.

Many overseas media have commented that this is a much better game than the Korean "Lineage"; Whether it is from the quality of the game picture or the diversity of gameplay, it is a top-notch online game.

The Ninth City, once again as a leader in this circle.

Naturally, this is driven by the development of the entire game industry in Hong Kong and the enthusiasm of some start-ups.

There are many advantages to starting a game studio in Cyberport: first, office space is very cheap, only 15 Hong Kong dollars per square foot per month; Second, there is an 'investment fund' specially set up by Matrix Capital, third, Hong Kong already has its own game show, and fourth, the ninth city can act as an agent for overseas distribution.

In short, the game industry in Hong Kong has begun to develop at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

........

Lin Zuhui took Li Jiaxin, who had returned from London, to the shopping mall of the 'International Finance Centre', and then walked into a Gucci store.

The business inside is good, there are many customers shopping, when the clerk saw Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin walk in, their expressions suddenly changed significantly.

"Hello boss, hello miss!" A woman who looked like a manager stepped forward to greet him immediately.

Li Jiaxin immediately held her hand around Lin Zuhui's arm, pressed harder, and stuck tighter, with a hint of pride on her face.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Just call me Lin Sheng!" ”

Many people know that Bank of Bahrain is an investment bank under Octopus Financial Group, which means that Lin Zuhui, the first person in Hong Kong, acquired the world's top luxury brands, and Hong Kong people are more or less proud for a while.

"Okay, Lin Sheng!"

During this period, the clerk I met last time was also there, and Lin Zuhui said to her with a smile: "I have to thank you for reminding me last time, otherwise I wouldn't have bought Gucci on a whim." ”

The clerk fell into ecstasy in his heart, and then said calmly: "Lin Sheng's words are serious, I just introduce the origin of Gucci to customers normally, this is the essential work I should do." ”

Lin Zuhui nodded, then stopped speaking, and sat in his position waiting for Li Jiaxin to shop.

This......

The clerk was suddenly a little disappointed, although she said so, she really wanted to be appreciated by Lin Zuhui. Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mentality and followed Li Jiaxin to wait for orders.

Some other clerks who know a little bit about it can't help but want to laugh in their hearts, thinking that your colleagues still want to take credit for this matter, you really think that the world is a pie, right?

In fact, during this period, Lin Zuhui did not forget the 'hero', he took the time to whisper a few words to Li Jiaxin, and Li Jiaxin nodded seriously. She is no longer the girl who likes to be jealous and compete for the original, she now understands one thing, Lin Zuhui will never spoil a woman or a few, but only work hard to be Lin Zuhui's favorite ones. As for what kind of girl Brother Hui likes, Li Jiaxin naturally understands that she is a girl who is obedient and does not cause trouble.

When she chose to shop again, Li Jiaxin asked, "What's your name?" ”

The clerk hurriedly said, "Miss Li, my name is Wang Lixin." ”

"I'll leave a call later!"

"Okay, Miss Lee"

Wang Lixin was excited again at this time, she thought that Lin Zuhui had not forgotten her, so she entrusted her girlfriend to contact her, and then give her a better errand. Anyway, as a shopping guide here, the salary is about 20,000 yuan a month, but if you follow the rich people, even if it is 20,000, it is definitely more promising. If you can climb on Mr. Lin Zuhui's bed, even if you play ~ things a few times, you feel that it is a big turnover. Who in Xiangjiang doesn't know that Lin Zuhui is very generous to women.

If Li Jiaxin only has Wang Lixin to think so much, I am afraid that she will kick this whimsical woman away with one kick, Brother Hui means to see if this female shopping guide can be used by her and be her staff or something.

Finally, when Wang Lixin handed Li Jiaxin a note, she said: "Miss Li, this is my phone number, please take care of me!" ”

Li Jiaxin nodded, and then took Lin Zuhui's arm and left.

Next, Wang Lixin was naturally inevitably questioned by her colleagues, and even the manager asked about it, with the meaning of blame.

Wang Lixin said proudly: "Manager, it was Miss Li who asked me for my phone number, I can't help but give it!" ”

For a while, everyone was silent, some envious and some jealous.

The manager immediately said: 'Well, of course you can't help it, you're doing a good job!' At the moment, it has been decided that no matter what, Wang Lixin can't wear small shoes, and even has to take care of it.

"Won't you really get Mr. Lin's appreciation, let her be Miss Li's assistant?"

"It's just a word, why is she!" "Hey, why didn't I serve Mrs. Lin last time!"

Many people understand that since Li Jiaxin wants Wang Lixin's phone, then Wang Lixin is most likely going to have good luck.

.......

In the evening, the sea south of Hong Kong.

On the superyacht, Lin Zuhui, Li Jiaxin, and Miss He are dating.

At this time, Miss He had broken up with Xu Er, and it was two years earlier than in her previous life, but having said that, Lin Zuhui still couldn't be too intimate with Miss He publicly, after all, the issue of the identities of the two was the biggest problem.

The three of them sat in the dining room and enjoyed a hearty dinner.

Miss He was looking forward to the show at this time, so she deliberately dressed up very X-sense today, because this man said that he liked her X-sense look. On the surface, she is a big lady, a good girl, and a strong woman, but in fact she is the xx on this man's bed.

"My dad seems to have found out something between us!" Miss He's cheeks were slightly drunk, which was a reaction to drinking alcohol and hormones.

Lin Zuhui was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" ”

He wasn't afraid that He Sheng would trouble him, so what if he said that he was taller than his daughter?

However, Miss He has always been the eldest lady of the second room, and she has been influenced by her mother since she was a child, and she has to take responsibility for the second room and take care of her younger siblings; In fact, it is to compete for the assets of the casino for the second room.

Although Lin Zuhui brought Miss He to make a fortune, after all, it was only some funds, not a career, so Miss He was also worried that after her and Lin Zuhui's affairs were known by her father, it would affect her status in the company and family.

"Didn't I make more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange, and then invested in stocks and properties, and accidentally knew about it! He asked me why I was so rich, and I said that I made money by speculating in foreign exchange and stocks, and he was a little suspicious of my relationship with you. ”

Lin Zuhui said: "Then what do you think? ”

Miss He said: "I don't care, I have to live for myself once, he can think whatever he likes!" Ah Hui, how about I give you a baby too? ”

At this time, Miss He was a little rebellious, and it could be seen that she was similar to her previous life at this time.

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "I don't care, but I have to let you think carefully." I can make you a billionaire or even a billionaire, and it will be easy for me; However, you still have a sister and a younger brother, once you make your father unhappy, will the career of the casino be affected by you, after all, the career is long-term, and money is only a number on the account. ”

Miss He seemed to have had enough of the family's affairs, and immediately said: "But I'm 37 years old, I can't be childless and daughterless for the rest of my life, I don't want to live for anyone anymore!" ”

That's right, I'm 37 years old, although for some reason, I look like I'm in my early 30s, and I'm still very young, but after all, the age is there.

Lin Zuhui could only say: "Then you handle the formalities first!" ”

"Hmm"

At this time, Li Jiaxin sighed: "My man really attracts women!" After speaking, he joked to his good friend Miss He.

Miss He will lose to the former little follower, and immediately said: "It's just to borrow it, you can't bear it!" ”

Li Jiaxin said disdainfully: "Cut, you still eat less!" ”

Lin Zuhui looked at it with interest, he likes combinations, now one Yiwanka is not a combination, and the rest are combinations.
