Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 105 [Enclosure]

When Moyock saw Lin Rongheng now, it was like seeing the God of Wealth.

It turned out that the US headquarters recently sent people to Hong Kong for inspection, and they were very satisfied with their work;

The main reason is that the loan business is progressing very smoothly, and it is still cooperating with the most well-known Chinese real estate company in Xiangjiang.

The inspectors don't care about whether there is any news about the cooperation between Evergrande Real Estate and Wanguo Baotong in the market. He only cares about the amount of the loan business and whether the partner has a prospect.

On these two points, there is no doubt that Moyock has done a good job!

Lin Rongheng explained the purpose of his visit: "Mr. Moyock, do you know about my Modern Media Group?"

Moyock nodded, and said seriously: "Of course! Modern Media Group is a group company with great potential. I personally think it will surpass newspaper giants like Sing Tao Press."

Since cooperating with Lin Rongheng, Moyock has paid attention to and investigated Lin Rongheng's every move, after all, he is his big creditor.

It will only take a year or two to surpass the scale of Sing Tao Press, Lin Rongheng thought confidently.

Next, in order to gain Moyock's support, Lin Rongheng revealed his plan for 'Universal Studios', and Moyock listened cautiously.

Fortunately for real estate investment, other investments are relatively cautious for Moyock.

Lin Rongheng observed his words and finally added: "In essence, this project is a real estate project. There is already a Shaw Studios in Clear Water Bay, which has driven up the surrounding land prices; if my plan is implemented again, the surrounding land prices will rise even more. I could make a ton of profit on that lot alone."

When Moyock heard it, he immediately felt that it made sense. Universal Studios is not a single studio, but a comprehensive project integrating entertainment, tourism, hotels, and catering.

Moyock said, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Lin Rongheng opened his mouth wide: "400 million US dollars! Use Universal Movies as collateral. Of course, I am the sole proprietor of Universal Movies, so I personally guarantee it!"

Moyock nodded yes!

Now Moyock has been immersed in the business empire built by Lin Rongheng. Let alone a loan of 400 million US dollars today, it is a loan of 4000 million US dollars. As long as there is a reasonable excuse, he can find a way to make this loan go through.

Immersed in Lin Rongheng's business empire, Moyock is not the only one. Who of the bankers in Xiangjiang is not proud of lending money to Lin Rongheng.

Lin Rongheng is the same as Chen Songqing in his previous life at this time. Chen Songqing's total assets in 1979 were only 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, which was not as much as Lin Rongheng's before Evergrande's listing (2000 million Hong Kong dollars); however, in 1982, Chen Songqing, Carrian Group is already a group company with a scale of tens of billions.

Of course, Lin Rongheng was far inferior to Chen Songqing in terms of deception ability, after all, Chen Songqing was still making false accounts.

And Evergrande Real Estate’s finances are very public. For example, the profit in 1970 was 530 million Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed true; the project of unplanned buildings plus village houses made a profit of 380 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a profit of 150 million Hong Kong dollars from rent collection.

If this profit is announced, the stock price may not rise but fall, but at the same time as the financial announcement, Evergrande Real Estate will also revaluate its assets, which is very eye-catching immediately.

Financial fraud is not allowed in revaluation of assets, at most it is just a bit inflated, which has nothing to do with fraud!
In the previous life, in 1972, the Milk Land War broke out, and the two companies took turns to overestimate their own assets in order to drive up the stock price, so that the big fish would eat the small fish, that's the reason.

After receiving a loan of 400 million US dollars, Lin Rongheng immediately invested in Universal Films.

Lin Rongheng did not intend to hand over the project of Universal Studios to Chen Hansheng. As the saying goes, "professional matters are left to professional people", so Lin Rongheng plans to establish Universal Studios Company, which will also be a bridgehead for Universal Films investment real estate industry in the future.

Universal Studios Company is not only responsible for the investment and construction of Universal Studios, but can also invest in other real estate projects with the funds from Universal Films in the future.

This kind of practice is common in Xiangjiang, such as Chow Tai Fook, China Gas, and Hong Kong Electric Company in the previous life. These companies will invest in real estate, because these companies can generate a lot of profits in their own businesses, and their bosses are real estate experts. This profit forms 'rolling interest'.

Chen Hansheng was called, and Lin Rongheng said, "You don't have to worry about Universal Studios. I plan to set up Universal Studios Company, and you can concentrate on managing the production and distribution."

Chen Hansheng also knew how much money he had, and if he really entrusted himself with the Universal Studios project, he would probably mess it up in all likelihood.

Chen Hansheng asked: "Then how do you calculate the finances? If they are calculated together, will there be some confusion?"

Now that he decided not to mess with him, Chen Hansheng didn't want his boss to doubt him because of financial confusion, and he also needed to avoid suspicion.

Lin Rongheng pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "Register a subsidiary in the name of Universal Films - Universal Studios, so that the financial affairs can be accounted for separately."

Chen Hansheng understood in seconds, and quickly echoed: "The boss is a good move. The parent company makes money from making movies, and can use it to the subsidiary for construction and repayment. It took seven years to complete the construction of Shaw Studios. I believe we can do the same." !"

Chen Hansheng firmly believed in Lin Rongheng's words. Since the boss believed that the overseas box office of Bruce Lee's films would not be bad, it would definitely not be bad; after such a calculation, the three films of Bruce Lee alone could even bring a lot of money to Universal Films. Tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue.

The investment budget for "Fist of Fury" this time is very high, a total of 100 million Hong Kong dollars was given, not for Hong Kong's box office, but for overseas box office.

After Chen Hansheng left, Lin Rongheng started to take action. Two real estate talents were transferred from Evergrande Real Estate, which did not affect the overall situation; and some real estate professionals were recruited from outside, so that the "Universal Studios Company" could be formed soon.

Three days passed in a flash, and Universal Studios was officially listed.

Lin Rongheng brought two real estate experts hired from Evergrande Real Estate—Zhou Changsheng and Li Xing—to Qingshuiwan to enclose the land.

After leading the two of them around the southern end of Yazai Mountain, Lin Rongheng said, "What do you think of the land here?"

Zhou Changsheng said: "There is nothing to say about the geographical location, it is very superior; moreover, if we enclose this land as Universal Studios, the Hong Kong government will not disagree, because we can drive up the land price of the entire Clear Water Bay."

Li Xing also said: "It's very close to Silverstrand Bay, which is very suitable for rich people to live in; but now, apart from Dapuzai where Shaw Studios is located, it is a little more prosperous, and the rest of Clearwater Bay can be said to be a wasteland. One by one. This makes it more difficult for us to enclose the land, and the Hong Kong government is also happy to see that we can further promote the prosperity of the surrounding land.”

Shaw Studios is located in Dapuzai, Clear Water Bay. At its peak, thousands of people (including extras) were filming there, so it is not difficult to drive the property of Dapuzai to rise.

And Universal Studios can not only shoot movies, but also plans to do tourism, hotels, etc. I believe the Hong Kong government is happy to see this situation.

Lin Rongheng nodded, and said: "I have already told you about the plan of Universal Studios. Recently, in addition to recruiting troops, you also need to sort out and perfect what I said, and make this land and the land we want to build on it. For the construction of the building, make a first draft; then apply to the Hong Kong government to purchase the land, the sooner the better!"

The two quickly responded that they were originally middle-level managers of Evergrande Real Estate, and it was an improvement to be entrusted with important tasks this time.

Although Universal Studios has a huge investment, Lin Rongheng does not plan to complete it within two or three years, and it can be completed in five to ten years; as for funds, it is to invest all the net profits of Universal Cinemas in the past five years, which is about 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. above.

Self-sufficient, anyway, Lin Rongheng does not expect to live off the profits of Universal Films.

The same is true for Universal Cinemas. All the net profits are used to invest in cinemas. Apart from Xiangjiang, they can also go overseas to directly acquire cinemas and build new cinemas.
