Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 160 [Evergrande Real Estate New Year's Plan]

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, all Xiangjiang people had already gone to work, and Lin Rongheng was no exception.

When he came to Evergrande Real Estate, Lin Rongheng first went to each department to distribute lai sees. Each lai see was 100 Hong Kong dollars, which was equivalent to a red envelope for starting work.

After a busy conversation, Lin Rongheng came to his office, followed by the Three Musketeers.

"sit down!"

After chatting for a while about anecdotes about Chinese New Year, the four of them started to get down to business.

Lin Rongheng laughed at himself and said: "Last year was busy for a year. I thought the company's finances would be looser. Unexpectedly, the liquid cash in the account was only 2500 million Hong Kong dollars. This also added the funds returned this year."

The three of them smiled one after another. Although the boss was laughing at himself, it wasn't a kind of pride!

Last year, Evergrande Real Estate earned a full 8200 million Hong Kong dollars. It spent 3000 million Hong Kong dollars on interest repayment, and spent 2500 million Hong Kong dollars on land, old buildings, and Type B rights and interests. Originally, there was a surplus of 2700 million Hong Kong dollars in the account. ; As a result, a short-term debt of 5400 million Hong Kong dollars was due, and Lin Rongheng borrowed another 3000 million Hong Kong dollars from Citicorp, so it was not overdue.

Zhang Ruohuai said: "In the first half of the year, it is estimated that about 9000 million Hong Kong dollars can be withdrawn from the off-plan housing. Does the boss mean to continue buying land?"

Last time when it came to the land transaction, Lin Rongheng beat up the three of them, and now he knows how to ask.

Lin Rongheng waved his hand and said, "Put it on hold! Evergrande's various loans are already 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the interest is too much to bear!"

The annual profit of nearly 4000 million Hong Kong dollars is indeed a very heavy burden; however, the total market value of the gold and stocks held by Evergrande Real Estate has reached as high as 1.32 million Hong Kong dollars; if it is realized to repay the loan, the total loan is only 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

The company's total assets have reached 9 million Hong Kong dollars, and the debt ratio is less than [-]%!
He Rui thought for a while and said, "Is the dividend going to be paid in March?"

Evergrande Real Estate did not pay dividends last year because it had only been listed for a few months. If it does not pay dividends this year, it will definitely plummet!
Naturally, Lin Rongheng didn't want to pay dividends, so he thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! Take out 600 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, and then distribute 10 bonus shares for every 3 shares."

There are many benefits to giving out bonus shares, that is, it does not dilute Lin Rongheng's shareholding ratio, and does not require the company to provide a large amount of cash; although the stock price will drop a little, it is conducive to stock trading; the number of shares held by shareholders increases, which can be described as happy.

It can be said that everyone is happy!

Wu Hao said: "Do you want to start a new site? We haven't started a new site for almost 3 months!"

Since the last site was opened in October last year, Evergrande Real Estate has not opened a new site. If it does not open again, in the second half of 10 and 1973, Evergrande Real Estate will have no income except rent.

The downturn in real estate is not about making money. In real estate like Lee Shau Kee, when the real estate is down, the house is usually released as long as there is a small profit. This way, the company's employees can be busy and the company's funds can flow.

From 1973 to 1974, Evergrande Real Estate focused its energy on buying bottoms and rebuilding high-quality commercial buildings; but obviously, the business of residential buildings cannot be absent at all.

Therefore, Lin Rongheng thought for a while, and then said: "Open a small site every two months! After all, many of our loans are due. Moreover, after the due loans are repaid, we still have to consider building Evergrande The headquarters building, as well as the reconstruction of some high-quality buildings, all of which require huge financial support!"

The three of them always felt that the boss was worried about something, but after all, what the boss said was right, it was time to start to stabilize.

Each of the Three Musketeers asked questions about the general direction of the business they were responsible for. This shows that Lin Rongheng is the pinnacle of Evergrande Real Estate.

In the afternoon, Lin Rongheng found time to come to Modern Publishing House.

Modern Publishing House already has a dominant position in the comics industry in Xiangjiang. Its weekly comic magazine "Modern Manke" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" have sold very well; on the contrary, due to a series of measures taken by Modern Publishing House, Huang Yulang's On the contrary, the sales volume of "Little Rascal" is far from the same period in history, only about 1.5 copies, which surprised Lin Rongheng.

However, Lin Rongheng conjectured that the requirements of modern publishing houses for manga are to look at Japanese manga, mainly to learn from the high quality and good printing of Japanese manga, and in addition, the publishing house spares no effort in cultivating manga talents; in the end, it has been proved by practice that Individual strength is still not enough to confront the strength of the team.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the overall quality of "Little Rascal" will improve in the later period and catch up.

At the same time, there is another comic force in Xiangjiang, that is Riman, and the overall sales volume of Riman is slightly larger than that of local manga.

Therefore, Lin Rongheng decided to enter Japanese manga, and took all the manga outlines from his previous life for his own use;

For Japanese manga, Lin Rongheng is very familiar with it: firstly, the outline (content), Lin Rongheng can basically specify the small plot in this aspect; The description and the first draft, and then drawing over and over again, Lin Rongheng confirmed and echoed the comic characters in memory, and it was finalized.

Therefore, Lin Rongheng alone can reach Japanese manga artists.

Of course, how to publish is a problem. Lin Rongheng is from Xiangjiang, so he must not have a publishing house in Japan. This is the national conditions of each country; [-]%; or buy a stake in a medium-sized Japanese publishing house, the profit is not [-]/[-], and the profits of regions other than Japan should also be shared with the Japanese publishing house?
So now it seems that all the classic Japanese manga can only be released in Xiangjiang first, and then exported overseas.

After calling Zhang Cheng, Lin Rongheng said: "After all, local comics are not suitable for going overseas, so I plan to set up a Japanese comics department in the company. You go to Japan to set up an office first, and recruit 5 talents at the level of chief comic writers from Japan. There are 5 assistants, and they are hired to work in Hong Kong with high salaries. When the time is right, this department can even be located in Japan.”

At this time, wages in Japan were not much higher than those in Hong Kong, but they rose very rapidly in the 80s and 80s, and by the end of the 21s, they were even at the level of the 30st century. They claimed that wages had not risen in [-] years.

Of course, no matter how high the wages of Japanese manga talents are, Lin Rongheng will still invest.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng asked cautiously: "Boss, what does the boss mean to publish Japanese comics in Hong Kong first, and then distribute them overseas? But it is not enough to have a master writer, and a successful manga outline is also necessary. After all, Japanese manga is not every manga. It was a success!"

Lin Rongheng said mysteriously: "I have the outline of the Japanese manga here, I think it will be very popular, the kind that is popular all over the world! Go ahead, I am not short of money, just treat it as my little one in order to realize my own. Dreams, millions of Hong Kong dollars, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it doesn't matter!"

Lin Rongheng wanted to portray himself as a "big dog" who pursued his dreams, and he could be self-willed, otherwise Zhang Cheng would think that he was omnipotent and that he was a myth; therefore, Lin Rongheng also deliberately prepared to describe these manga outlines as contributions from friends Yes, as for what kind of friends, no one will ask himself.

If I really thought of it myself, if it gets out in the future, wouldn't it make Lin Rongheng a mythical figure? In the era of online novels, many people will guess whether they have time-traveled or not.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng immediately understood that the boss is indeed a fan of Japanese comics, so even if the investment in Japanese comics cannot be recovered, the boss's net worth naturally doesn't matter.
