New Era Group Headquarters.

Lin Zuhui sat in the office, looking at the stocks on the computer, very leisurely. It's hard to imagine that he is the chairman of the board of directors of several large groups with 400,000 employees around the world, and yet he is so idle.

In fact, Lin Zuhui has already laid out the improvement of the management structure of his company, and he is now more of a spiritual symbol.

New Era Group, Media Group, Octopus Financial Group, and LEIT Group are his four major group companies;

As for Xiaomi Technology, it is completely handed over to Zou Kaixuan, she does a good job, and Lin Zuhui will not interfere if she does not do well.

Lin Zuhui looked at the penguin stock price on the computer, which had risen to 12 Hong Kong dollars per share, and nodded with satisfaction;

It is considered to be a smooth listing, and the market value has reached more than 20 billion, which can be said to be very sought after.

This market value is not an exaggeration, in the previous life, when Shanda was listed this year, the market value was 15 billion RMB;

And the penguin game is still more promising than the grand game in the previous life.

After retracting his gaze, Lin Zuhui leaned back in his chair and pondered.

Jingwei Capital is too eye-catching, investing in companies with huge potential such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Penguin, Alibaba, Kingston, Activision Blizzard, etc., once these companies have a market value of hundreds of billions of trillions in the future.

Then Lin Zuhui is the walking treasury.

It's a hassle!

So, he had to deal with it!

First of all, before the subprime mortgage crisis (November 2007), the stocks of Apple and Amazon should be cashed out and their holdings reduced to 5%. As for the remaining 5%, it will continue to reduce its holdings until 2015.

Of course, now Guan Jiahui, Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, Lin Zixia, and Monica, the five women, have bought 0.5~0.9% of Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft stocks after the 911 incident.

Secondly, Jingwei Capital holds shares of Ali and Penguin, which will be very huge even after listing; Therefore, Lin Zuhui plans to incorporate most of the equity into the 'Lin Zuhui Family Foundation' when the time comes, saying to the outside world that he is his 'own son', and using the means of charitable funds to leave a fortune for the children of the descendant family.

As a rich man of his level, there are too many ways to hide his wealth, so there is no need to worry about having a lot of money.

"Boss, this is the annual financial report and dividend plan, take a look at it." Liang Zhenxun put a document on Lin Zuhui's desk.

Lin Zuhui took the information and looked at it seriously.

Last year, New Era Group's profit was HK$61.2 billion, an increase of 21%.

With the early layout to cash in, the profits of New Era Group are soaring every year.

Even the mainland can contribute nearly 10 billion yuan in profits every year, and it is still growing; Of course, the mainland's share of New Era Group's revenue is not high, only less than 20%.

Times shipping has become the biggest driving force for the profit growth of New Era Group, and the ships built in the early stage have been delivered, and the shipping market is getting better and better.

And in 2004, the global economy was growing faster and trade was growing, and naturally the price of sea freight skyrocketed.

To give you a simple example: by 2004, the average daily rent of a one-year VLCC tanker was as high as US$55,000/day, and the average daily rent of a Capesize bulk carrier was as high as US$61,000/day. In 2003, the average daily rental rate for these two types of vessels was US$34,000/day and US$31,000/day, respectively.

The increase of nearly doubled shows how hot shipping is now.

This is not the end, when the cycle of shipping comes, it is normal to increase several times.

According to Lin Zuhui's speculation, the shipping situation in 2004~2008 is not only that the price has risen several times, but also that the ship is not enough, so there is no need to worry about the situation that there is no market.

Other industries of the New Era Group also saw significant growth, except for the development of real estate in Hong Kong.

"The dividend of HK$22 billion is not bad, and I believe investors will be very satisfied." Lin Zuhui put down the information and said.

Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "I must be very satisfied, you must know that other companies, I am afraid that the dividends issued this year will almost be cut in half compared with last year, or even dividends in lieu of shares." After all, Hong Kong's real estate and economy were devastated by SAS last year. Our New Era Group's business is mainly distributed around the world, so the impact is not very large, to put it bluntly - it is to make foreign money and spend it on Xiangjiang investors. ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but be proud!

New Era Group is a truly global enterprise.

"Okay, just follow this plan."

"Okay, boss!"

After the dividends of New Era Group, it still maintains a cash flow of 116 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is very competitive.

In the next five years, the cash flow of the New Era Group will increase exponentially, becoming a full cash cow giant.

.......

When New Era Group released its annual financial report and dividend plan, the citizens of Xiangjiang were shocked.

"Isn't it that last year's Xiangjiang economy was not good, how could the New Era Group also pay a dividend of 22 billion Hong Kong dollars? I'm afraid that except for Cheung Kong, there is no company in Xiangjiang that can reach the dividend amount of others, right? ”

"New Era Group is a global enterprise with business all over the world. And it has always been overpowering the HSBC Group, which is the most powerful thing. ”

The public was amazed by the huge dividends of the New Era Group and the high annual net profit.

There are also media who use 'making money from all over the world and feeding the people of Xiangjiang' to describe the New Era Group, and some media have found that there are almost more than 100,000 people working for Lin Zuhui in Xiangjiang through investigation. You must know that the number of employed people in Hong Kong is only 3.2 million.

The important thing is that the overall income of citizens who can work for Lin Zuhui must be extremely high.

"Cyberport has more than 10,000 people employed, and Hong Kong's technology industry is on the rise!"

"The number of people employed in the cultural industry continues to rise, and it is one of the three pillar industries worthy of the name."

"Heung Kong Shipping outperforms Singapore and continues to become a global shipping powerhouse."

One news was spread to the public, and everyone found out how influential Lin Zuhui was in Xiangjiang.

If Li Chaoren is the world's businessman and the pride of the Chinese, then what is Lin Zuhui?

Technology, culture, and other industries with high value-added value come from media groups and lead the development of the whole of Hong Kong.

Some media directly commented that without Lin Zuhui in Xiangjiang, then there would be no cultural industry and science and technology industry, and the entire GDP would be reduced by about 20%.

For a time, Lin Zuhui became the object of discussion among Xiangjiang citizens after tea and dinner. Of course, this has been taken for granted, after all, the technology and cultural industries have been on the rise for nearly a decade.

......

Soon after the New Era Group released its annual financial report, the media group also released its annual financial report, which shocked the entire Xiangjiang for a while, and even overseas people paid attention to it.

In 2003, the net profit of the media group was as high as 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 46.5 billion Hong Kong dollars were non-recurring profits (sale of ICQ) and 13.5 billion Hong Kong dollars were normal profits.

In terms of dividends, the media group is more stingy, only taking out HK$3 billion in dividends; After all, the profits in 2003 were more than 20 billion Microsoft stocks.

Public opinion is in an uproar!

Unlike other enterprises in Xiangjiang, the media group is the pillar enterprise and leader of Xiangjiang's science and technology and cultural industries, so its status is particularly high.

Now, the media group has handed over such a 'report card', which is enough to boost the confidence of the entire Heung Kong economy.

"You can be dissatisfied with the hegemony of Xiangjiang's real estate, but you must not be dissatisfied with Mr. Lin Zuhui!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Lin Zuhui, the economy of Hong Kong would never be so developed."

"Well, from today onwards, I am no longer jealous of Mr. Lin Zuhui's luxurious life, that is what he deserves."

For a while, praise for Lin Zuhui came one after another.

.......

Cyberport.

Lin Zuhui came to the ninth city and listened to the work report of President Gao Kelin.

"The global online game revenue growth is gratifying, and we in the ninth city have a large number of high-quality online games, and we are working hard to open more and more servers overseas....... This year, revenue is expected to grow by at least 30%. Goklin said confidently.

Lin Zuhui nodded, he was not surprised by this growth rate.

If he remembers correctly, Dungeons & Warriors and CrossFire are more profitable online games than World of Warcraft, but of course this data is not necessarily true, and it may also be the ranking of a certain region or country. MapleStory can also rank in the top 10 of the most profitable online games, so that Ninth City is equivalent to holding 3 of the world's most profitable online games.

"How many full-time employees does City Nine currently have?" Lin Zuhui asked.

"There are about 3,900 full-time employees, and there are about 3,300 in Hong Kong." Goklin replied.

With less than 4,000 employees, it's not a lot, but it's enough at the moment. When an online game comes out, it is not possible to dismiss the team, on the contrary, the team must be strengthened, because the update of the version is very important, otherwise the old players will be lost, and new players will not be attracted.

"Good! The Ninth City can be said to have more than ten gold mines, but it can't be said that we can make money lying down, these gold mines need to be mined well. That is to say, the subsequent versions of these games should keep up, and if there are any bugs and shortcomings, they should be updated in time; In addition, overseas operations and agents should also be emphasized. ”

"I remember!"

"How is Dungeons & Warriors doing in the market?"

"It is very popular with gamers in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the sense of competition has received rave reviews and is very attractive."

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile and said, "Sure enough, there must be a competitive element to be more perfect." ”

Dungeons & Warriors inherits a lot of the characteristics of many home consoles and arcade 2D fighting games, and focuses on mission-guided character growth, supplemented by dungeons, PVP, and PVE, and has the same equipment and level changes as other online games.

In short, its success is justified, and it is not the same genre as "Legend of Blood", "Ragnarok", "Miracle Mu", etc., "Dungeons & Warriors" belongs to action role-playing ARPG fighting online games.

Now.

Ninth City is home to 10 best-selling games developed in Korea, including "Legend of Blood", "Ragnarok", "Miracle MU", "Maplestory", "Bubble Hall", "Runmartin", "Audition", "CrossFire", "Dungeons & Warriors", and "Street Basketball". There are also a number of original online games that have emerged, and they have also made high-quality games due to the development of the game industry in Hong Kong, which are very popular overseas.

With the current game copyright, Ninth City is already at ease, of course, it will not stop, but Lin Zuhui will no longer intervene.

......

Seoul, NEOPLE Inc.

As the first company to develop Korea's most representative and successful online game, Neople has been in big trouble in recent years.

First of all, due to the fact that the research and development of many projects began, Xiangjiang Ninth City released the same type of online games, which led to project adjustments and even interruptions, and the company suffered a lot of losses.

Secondly, the games developed by Neople are not popular overseas, and although they are represented by overseas companies, the agency fees are very low soon, and the follow-up sharing is also very unsatisfactory. In the final analysis, the online game market in overseas countries is occupied by Xiangjiang Games, especially the huge market in the mainland, where Xiangjiang Games occupies about 80% of the share, and 10% are original games in the mainland, and Korean games have less than 10% of the market.

In the end, even the local game market in South Korea is being swallowed up by Xiangjiang Games. It's very puzzling, generally speaking, it is difficult for foreign Internet to gain a foothold in South Korea, but Xiangjiang's game is very popular with Koreans (nonsense, it was developed by Koreans in the previous life).

"President, Hyundai Entertainment's "Maplestory", "Audition", and "Bubble Hall" have more and more players and more shares in Korea. If we don't come up with high-quality games, we can only watch the market lose to Xiangjiang Games, let alone overseas markets. ”

Jin Chengzai said unhappily: "Then what do you say?" ”

The executive immediately said: "Abolish the games that are more or less homogeneous and start the project again." It is precisely because the company insisted on continuing to develop games that are homogenized with Xiangjiang that several products have not achieved results. If we re-establish the project, we believe that with the development of the Korean game industry, we will be able to come up with a better product. ”

Kim Shing Jae suddenly had a big head, and the executives had already directly criticized him for insisting on it, but he didn't dare to refute it, because many people in the company were already questioning him.

"But the company's current financial situation is all supported by a few games in Lineage...... Well, set up a few more projects, this is the way we have to go. ”

Neople is also a powerful company, with a game "Lineage", it can earn nearly $25 million a year; Otherwise, several products would have failed, and they would have gone out of business long ago.

This is also a disguised proof that online games are really profitable.

.......

The other side.

Lin Zuhui sat in the office, a little distracted, because he had already finished the layout of the game industry and couldn't interfere.

Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" has been tested in Europe and the United States, and if nothing else, in another five years, Activision Blizzard will sell $10 billion, which is no problem at all. (In the previous life, Blizzard's profit in 2008 was already $1.3 billion)

So at that time, Lin Zuhui will definitely release the wind and sell Activision Blizzard.

After all, he was also worried that he would be smashed into his hands, and he would not dare to think about more than 60 billion US dollars, and the United States was not a vegetarian at all, and it would be troublesome if it was not good to get it back when the time came.

As for the mere $10 billion, Lin Zuhui believes that it is not a big problem.

At present, Activision Blizzard is better developed than in previous lives, especially Activision, which has also developed many high-quality games, and its value is also very high.

Lin Zuhui is particularly good to the employees and management of these two companies, and adopts no management interference, high salary and high year-end bonus; Because of this, Activision Blizzard has also been voted the happiest company in the United States.

In doing so, he naturally hopes to increase his influence and distribute a lot of profits to management and employees every year, so as to gain people's hearts. And Lin Zuhui can also get a lot of dividends every year, the important thing is that he values the funds sold.

Activision Blizzard could bring him about $11 billion, while Ninth City is obviously more, probably tens of billions of dollars, long-term gains, of course.

Money, real TMD earns easily.
