Huayu since 1980

Chapter 540 The Dream of Ten Billionaires

Naturally, it is impossible for such a wine table to talk about serious business. Several people chatted casually, but Chen Le was the most aggrieved. I don't understand Cantonese, so I don't know what they are talking about.

When the dinner was over, he secretly told Wu Jianye again that he would study Cantonese well in Xiangjiang during this period. Wu Jianye just smiled at this, and let's talk if he can persist.

In the next few days, when Wu Jianye still didn't stop, Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji and others also knew of Wu Jianye's arrival and invited them one after another, but Wu Jianye couldn't refuse.

However, one of the gatherings was initiated by Wu Jianye. There were only three people who met, Wu Jianye and Yan Wen, and the last one was Gao Jinbao, the chairman of Xiangjiang Bank of China.

The meeting between the three of them was naturally about the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. Wu Jianye had met Gao Jinbao once before because of the Standard Chartered Bank. This time it was just to discuss the specific steps.

However, since the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank has always been handled by Yanwen, Wu Jianye will also hand over the entire acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank and privatization to Yanwen.

After the meeting between the three of them, Wu Jianye held a small meeting at home. Not many people attended the meeting, only Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and Zhao Lei!
The three of them can be regarded as Wu Jianye's most basic team in business.

For example, Zhou Tao is now in charge of the Yaoguang Group, Yan Wen is in charge of the Yiwang Group, and Zhao Lei is purely in charge of soy sauce, and only holds 10% of the shares in the Yaoguang Group, but by now it has billions of assets .

After a series of reorganizations and equity allocation transactions, Shanhai Investment, established by Wu Jianye in the Cayman Islands, holds 75% of Yaoguang Group's equity, Zhou Tao holds 15%, and Zhao Lei holds 10%.

Today, the main companies under Yaoguang Group are Heungkong Land, Tunan Technology, Taiwei Electric, Hanshui Beverage, Jinxiu Garment, Fengge Entertainment, Xiangjiang ATV, Maple Security, and Yaoguang Investment.

Previously, Yaoguang Group's real estate projects in China and Xiangjiang were also merged into Xiangjiang Land after the successful privatization of Hong Kong Land.

At the same time, Yaoguang Group has also become the largest unlisted consortium in Xiangjiang. Not to mention the overall size of Yaoguang Group, even a single subsidiary is enough to become one of the largest consortiums in Xiangjiang.

The situation of Yiwang Group is a bit more complicated. When Yiwang Group was established, Yanwen chose to withdraw from Yaoguang Group. Now he holds 15% of the shares of Yiwang Group, while Shanhai Investment holds 85% of the shares. % of equity.

The main companies under Yiwang Group include Yuzhi Investment, Standard Chartered Bank, Shouhua Insurance, Qingyao Toys, Yumin Travel, Sanmiao Comics, Dale Construction, Yisu Heavy Industry, and Xiangjiang Shipping, which is negotiating with New World Nine big companies!

In fact, when the 87 stock market crash ended, there were more listed companies under Yiwang Group, but after Yanwen split up these listed companies, reorganized, sold and delisted, only the above-mentioned companies remained.

However, unlike the companies under Yaoguang Group, which are all privatized and unlisted companies, the listed companies under Yiwang Group now include Standard Chartered Bank, Qingyao Toys, Dale Construction, and Yisu Heavy Industry!

Now the most important task of Yiwang Group is to completely privatize Standard Chartered Bank, and the biggest enemy facing Standard Chartered Bank is now Ryan Henderson, the head of Standard Chartered Bank.

This four-person meeting is actually to discuss the future development strategies of the two major groups.

"Talent reserves will be one of the most important projects of the two groups in the next few years. In the next five years, the talent reserves of the two groups must reach more than 1000 people!" Wu Jianye said.

The development of the two major groups is really too fast. The talent reserve has always been the shortcoming of the two major groups. Although many talents have been recruited through headhunting companies and the public, their own talent reserve is still a big shortcoming. board, especially after the incident of Qin Ye, who drinks cold water.

Zhou Tao and Yan Wen also have a deep understanding. Both of them are currently overloaded with workload.

It is actually Zhao Lei who is the easiest to talk about here. After Yanghua Shoes Factory was acquired by Yaoguang Group, the only projects he had in his hands were investment in the China World Building in Yanjing and Dongting, which is not affiliated to Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group in China. .

The main project of Dongting Investment is the Twin Towers in Zhongguancun. Dongting Investment belongs to a domestic investment company. The equity distribution is Shanhai Investment holds 85% of the shares, Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and Zhao Lei each hold 5% of the shares.

Zhou Tao took the lead in saying: "Yaoguang Group has started recruiting talents in various universities in Xiangjiang and domestic universities. Now Yaoguang Group's talent reserve center has 108 reserve talents according to the previous plan. In May of this year, These people will be assigned to various companies to start training, and the next batch of candidates will be added during the graduation season!"

Yanwen replied: "Yiwang Group is similar, but because the business of Yiwang Group is more complicated, especially in the area of ​​financial investment, it has always been the top priority of Yiwang Group, so more job fairs will be held in Recruitment from major universities around the world!"

One of the most important subsidiaries of Yiwang Group is Yuzhi Investment, and Yuzhi Investment is responsible for the most complicated projects. For example, Yuzhi Investment owns the shares of the four major real estate companies in Xiangjiang and Chinese Real Estate and other high-quality companies. At the same time, Yu Zhi Investment is also responsible for the RB project.

Now Yuzhi Investment is the largest investment company in Xiangjiang.

Then Wu Jianye listened to the opinions of the two on the development of each subsidiary, and also gave his own ideas.

For example, Tunan Technology, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, no longer simply focuses on the production of mobile phones, computers and other products, but also needs to communicate with China and even the entire Southeast Asia.

After listening to Zhou Tao’s description, Wu Jianye’s opinion is: the infrastructure construction of communication can be done, but at the same time, it’s better to form its own industrial closed-loop chain, such as computer screens, CPU processors, semiconductor research and development, etc. A series of product development such as mobile phone parts and components.

The research and development of these projects is a great test for the financial status of Tunan Technology's first-level technological reserve. Last year, Tunan Technology's annual profit reached a terrifying 57 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the result agreed by Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao at that time was to take 70% of Tunan Technology's profits are used as Tunan Technology's research and development expenses.

At this time, Tunan Technology not only has its own scientific research laboratories in Xiangjiang and China, but also has invested in its own scientific research laboratories all over the world, especially well-known colleges and universities.

Among them, the research and development of CPU processors and semiconductors, if it is really launched, will be a huge money-burning operation and will not be profitable in the short term. Zhou Tao also raised his own doubts about this.

"Is our pace a little too fast? Tunan Technology's funds are all used as scientific research funds, which also puts a huge cash pressure on us!"

Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, when the investment in RB ends in the first half of this year, we will be able to withdraw a large amount of funds, and at the same time, a sum of funds will be credited next year. At that time, you will let Yaoguang Investment, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, Just prepare the funds, and you can discuss this matter with Yanwen!"

Next year will naturally be the reunification of East and West Germany, and at the same time the disintegration of the Soviet Union the year after. This is an opportunity to make quick money. This is the golden finger of the reborn. What Wu Jianye has to do now is to spend money to make a The seemingly impossible thing came out, that is, to make the development of Tunan Technology in the field of science and technology, even if you spend money, you have to make a corner and overtake.

As for how the funds will be allocated at that time, it will be Zhou Tao's business.

In fact, this year's Hong Kong stock market can also take the opportunity to make a fortune. Due to some unspeakable reasons, this year's Hong Kong stock market will also experience a huge decline, and the degree of decline is second only to the situation during the 87 stock market crash. At that time, Wu Jian Night will also let them prepare in advance.

At the same time, Tunan Technology will develop in other fields in an all-round way this year, but these are some quick money-making projects, such as the learning machine project that will soon become popular all over the country. This investment alone can at least bring Tunan Technology To billions of yuan in profits.

In the 90s, Tunan Technology will cooperate with Taiwei Electric to launch a VCD player. Of course, Wu Jianye will not tell Zhou Tao and others about these things now. Wu Jianye will not come up with these plans until the technology is mature. .

The meeting of the four lasted for more than ten hours, and the development plan of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group for the next five years was basically determined. As for the specific implementation, it will be operated by Zhou Tao and Yanwen.

After the meeting, Yanwen found Wu Jianye alone.

"Brother, Ma Yicheng proposed to acquire Yulang International!"

Ma Yicheng is the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics under Yiwang Group and one of the most well-known comic writers in Xiangjiang. "Feng Yun" and "Chinese Heroes" are both written by Ma Yicheng.

The two earliest giants in the comics industry in Xiangjiang are Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao.

And Ma Yancheng is Shangguan Xiaobao's apprentice. Shangguan Xiaobao is like Luo Wei in the Xiangjiang film industry. He can find talents, but he can't keep them. The comic company covered up its position. At that time, Yiwang Group bought Shangguan Xiaobao's comic company, and then changed its name to Sanmiao Comics. After Sanmiao Comics was established, Ma Yicheng and Niu Lao were left in the company by Yanwen.

At the same time, Ma Yingcheng became the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao comics.

As for Niu Lao, he is also a well-known cartoonist in Xiangjiang. Everyone is most familiar with his works "Young and Dangerous" series.

And Ma Yicheng not only worked under Shangguan Xiaobao, but also worked part-time under Huang Yulang, but later Ma Yicheng resigned because he was dissatisfied with Huang Yulang's share, but was chopped off and almost hurt Tesuji couldn't draw.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Huang Yulang did this thing, Ma Yingcheng has always put this matter on Huang Yulang.

So the two have been at odds!

"What's the current situation of Yulang International?" Wu Jianye asked.

"Huang Yulang can't hold it anymore." Then Yanwen began to introduce the situation of Yulang International.

In August 1986, the stock of Yulang Organization Co., Ltd. was listed. Huang Yulang owned 8% of the shares, and the rest were issued to the public in accordance with regulations.Huang Yulang claimed to be worth 75 million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, the American "Wall Street Journal" published an article introducing Huang Yulang, calling him a billionaire prodigy who "draws a rainbow".

Mrs. Huang was ecstatic when she heard that, and she didn't know where she was for a while, and called herself "Yulang Emperor" to her employees. The whole group was "Yulang Empire", and even the printing factory was called the Imperial Printing Factory.

When Emperor Yulang attained enlightenment, all the painters tore off the tail of his shirt and ascended to heaven.Huang Yulang implements a dividend sharing system in the group. There are 20 chief writers, each with an annual income of no less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, the "gift" of Emperor Yulang must be rewarded, and the master writers worked hard to make the Yulang Empire a higher level, and the amount of silver paper was like clouds flying in the sky.

In the year when it went public, Yulang Group published 14 kinds of comic books and a weekly magazine of "Yuro TV", all leading the comics market, with an annual profit of 4570 million Hong Kong dollars.

The English-language "South China Morning Post" reporter went to Yulang Group for an interview, and was surprised to see a row of Porsche luxury cars parked in the yard, and exclaimed in the article: "This is the proof of the success of Yulang Group's painting staff."

Yulang stock was very popular in the stock market. Huang Yulang struck while the iron was hot, and took advantage of the bull market in the following year to issue three rights issues successively, raising more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

Emperor Yulang's waist is thicker, and every investment is a big deal.After the listing, he spent HK$1300 million to buy the Chai Wan Kangman Industrial Center as the factory building of Imperial Printing Factory.

In February 1987, spent 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the 7000-storey King's Road News Building from the chairman of Sing Tao Newspaper Group, Hu Cheng, as the administrative and production headquarters of Yulang Group.

In March, he spent 3 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire 7700% of the equity of Tiantian Newspaper and the entire equity of Tiantian Color Printing, and took over the recreational comprehensive newspaper "Daily Daily".

In July, he bought "Fresh Weekly" for HK$7 million and "Youth" magazine for HK$2520 million, vowing to become a media king as prestigious as amaranth.

Huang Yulang is not afraid of spending money, the stock market has a lot of money that cannot be spent.Huang Yulang obtained the wisdom of making money from his friend Liu Luanxiong from his hometown. He only needs to touch the thick pump head to the stock market, and a steady stream of "water" will be pumped into his pocket. "Right issue, fund-raising, spending, and then rights issue, fund-raising, spending..." This is the "new water pump philosophy" summed up by Huang.

With this theory as a basis, Huang Yulang carried out a larger expansion.

In September 1987, Huang founded the "Financial Times" and hired the former editor-in-chief of "Wen Wei Po" as the president, and the former editor-in-chief of "Financial Daily" Huang Yanglie as the editor-in-chief.

In October, he traveled across the ocean and spent 10 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the Hu family's second largest newspaper in Malaysia, "Sin Chew Daily".

Huang Yulang was born like a superstar in the media industry, and Huang's dream of becoming a media king finally came true.He himself is even more complacent: "Hu Cheng's newspaper group is under the protection of her 'old bean', and Hu Wenhu's descendants are only mediocre. Hong Kong lost a news building, and Malaysia lost a newspaper office. Jin Daxia, It took decades of dismal management to establish a newspaper group. It took less than a year for the Yulang Empire to be on an equal footing with them."

Acquisition is a shortcut to starting a business, just like fruit picking is a recipe for cultivation.Huang Yulang, Liu Luanxiong, Luo Xurui and other new generations of Chaozhou businessmen all hold this concept.However, Huang's acquisition art is inferior to his two fellow villagers after all.

Liu Luanxiong can make profits by purchasing sniper games.Luo Xurui's acquisition of sniper is equally proficient, but he is better at digesting after acquisition, reorganizing the prey into a cornucopia.

Huang Yulang was so overjoyed, he didn't know that this series of raw acquisitions would become his burden.Once the city is unfavorable, there will be dangers everywhere.Critics said: Huang Yulang is only a primary school student, how can he compare with university talents Liu Luanxiong and Luo Xurui?The newspaper industry is no different from other industries in that it requires specialists.

Huang Yulang also felt that the "acquisition of Jianye" was too slow, and found that the fastest money-generating stock in the world is undoubtedly the stock. In 1987, the stock market was full of bullishness, and stockholders were feverish and dizzy, dreaming of getting rich overnight.Huang Yulang made some speculations first, tasted the sweetness for the first time, and then made a big attack, buying 3410 million shares of China Entertainment from the Liu Luanxiong family.

Raise funds through rights issue, and then spend 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars to speculate in the stock market, speculating in stocks and futures.

The market is booming, and the Huang family is even more eager to buy promising stocks, hoarding them and waiting for the price to sell.

All big investors are either veterans of stock trading, or have hired a think tank as their consultant.Huang Yulang violated the big taboo of "if you are not familiar with it, don't do it".At that time, Yulang Group's stock soared to 4.2 yuan per share, and Huang's net worth was 10 billion.He counted, and it was just around the corner to become a billionaire!

The tens of billionaires did not wait, but they waited for the once-in-a-decade stock market crash
