Hong Kong's new giants

In Wanhui Media's office, Lin Zuhui was holding an invitation letter in his hand, but his mind was not on it.This is an invitation letter from Ming Pao Group, inviting Lin Zuhui to participate in the tea party for the 30th anniversary of Ming Pao.

It seems that Jin Daxia is about to resign as the president, which means that he intends to fade out of the rivers and lakes.According to history, there will be more than a dozen consortiums interested in Ming Pao, including Japan's Tokuma Bookstore, Australia's Murdoch (Murdoch), Li Ka-shing, etc.

Ming Pao's annual profit is only about 9000 million, and it will break through 90 million in the 1s, but its influence is undoubtedly huge; because of this, even Li Cucumber is eager to get it.

It's a pity that Jin Daxia doesn't care about the price of Ming Pao Group, but cares about whether the future successor can carry forward the spirit of "Ming Pao".Jin Daxia's children have no intention of managing the newspaper industry. He has always wanted to find a leader in the group, but has been hesitant.

Lin Zuhui knew that Ming Pao Group belonged to him, and he was sure of it.Over the years, he has invested a lot of emotion, Jin Daxia will not turn a blind eye.Of course, Jin Daxia already has a high status in the world, so Lin Zuhui has also received a lot of rewards over the years.

However, he still had to prepare in case Jin Daxia asked how to develop Ming Pao Group.

Today’s Ming Pao Group is not listed, with Jin Daxia holding 80% and Shen Baoxin holding 20% ​​of the shares; Yu Pinhai’s previous life was first traded at the end of 1991, when Ming Pao Group was listed in March.At that time, the market value was less than 50 million yuan, so Yu Pinhai spent 4.5 million yuan to buy [-]% of the shares.

Lin Zuhui thought to himself, waiting for two years is still too long, and there is no need to wait for Ming Pao Group to go public to buy.

However, if Lin Zuhui shows that Ming Pao Group will be included in the management system of Wanhui Media, I am afraid that Daxia Jin may not be willing; in his heart, he is looking for a successor who will carry forward Ming Pao, rather than completely annexing Ming Pao Group.Therefore, he had to say that Ming Pao Group wanted to operate independently, so Wanhui Media would lead the listing of Ming Pao Group and then act as the holding company.

In this way, Ming Pao Group will be controlled by Wanhui Media, and Ming Pao will also be able to guarantee a certain degree of independence.As for the promotion of "Ming Pao", Lin Zuhui has been running the newspaper for so many years, it is not a problem to fool Jin Daxia.

After a while, the general manager and president of Wanhui Media came to Lin Zuhui's office. Unlike other companies, Lin Zuhui never concurrently served as the general manager. From the beginning, he only served as the chairman of the board of directors.Because he is not a company, it is impossible to do everything by himself.

The general manager is actually the actual executor of a company, and Lin Zuhui only needs to be able to command with ease.He will direct the big things to the general manager to decide the small things.

"How are the sales of Next Magazine?"

"It's not bad, the sales volume for four weeks is more than 6, the potential is very good!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Wanhui Media holds 34.8% of the Baile Group, which is equivalent to controlling the company in a disguised form, but it will not be directly related to others; after all, Zheng Jinghan is also the publishing genius of Xiangjiang. Who would have thought that he Now a 'puppet' too!

"The annual profit of the comic business department should skyrocket this year, right?"

"Not bad! The "Slam Dunk" we invested in Japan is very successful, and it is expected to make a profit of 5000 million this year. In addition, the local comics are going overseas. This year, the comics alone, our group will have a net profit of more than 1.8 million. According to the current If the situation is calculated."

Fengyun Publishing House and Yulang Group, these two comic departments can generate 1.3 million profits this year, which is quite unexpected for Lin Zuhui.But when you think about it carefully, it is only natural that the net profit of more than 1.3 million is 8% of the net profit of Xiangjiang comics industry.

Wanhui Media has highly monopolized Xiangjiang's comics industry.

Today's Huang Yulang is still the defendant, and his case is still under trial; of course, prison is inevitable.

For Wanhui Media, the later Huang Yulang enters, the better, since he will come out later anyway; when he comes out, Xiangjiang's comic industry structure will no longer be something he can shake.

Lin Zuhui picked up the invitation letter from "Ming Pao" and said, "Jin Daxia will probably announce his resignation as president at this tea party!"

Long Jingchang was taken aback, and said hastily, "Is this a signal to release the order?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Well, his children have no intention of inheriting their father's business and they want to retire, so naturally they want to sell the property!"

Long Jingchang knew that the boss had a close relationship with Jin Daxia, which meant that Wanhui Media was the biggest competitor; it might even be a sure thing.

No wonder, there is still 4.5 million cash lying in the account!

Wanhui Media once had 7.5 million in cash in its accounts this year (an annual profit of more than 3 million). Since July, it has spent [-] million to buy office buildings, shops, high-end residences and other properties, and plans to continue to speculate on houses.

[-] million is just a down payment, and the total value of the property is one billion, because it is paid in installments.

Under Lin Zuhui's arrangement, LEIT Group and Wanhui Media have started to purchase properties one after another; not only that, these companies will invest in some properties every year in the future to increase the company's foundation.

For example, the LEIT Group is now starting to buy shops. In July alone, it bought five good shops that can be used by itself.

Lin Zuhui's companies and individuals have purchased properties one after another, which will naturally lead to the recovery of real estate and rising waves.This is also the result he wants, it's like he bought a cheap property, and when the real estate developers who responded slowly in the follow-up entered the market, their price was much higher than in the previous life.

This is the reason to fatten yourself and hit your competitors.

End of July, weekend.

Lin Zuhui brought Long Jingchang to the hotel to attend the tea party for the 30th anniversary of "Ming Pao".Throughout the tea party, many guests were invited, including celebrities from various industries such as newspapers, magazines, and media.

The personable Lin Zuhui is the protagonist no matter where he goes, as he enters the stage, everyone will focus on him, which is called aura.

Jin Daxia greeted him with a smile, the two shook hands in a friendly way, and a reporter from Ming Pao immediately took pictures.

"Old Jin, we are not late!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

"No, it's still early!" Jin Daxia replied.

The two chatted leisurely, and this scene was taken for granted in everyone's eyes. As early as a few years ago, the news that Lin Zuhui accompanied Jin Daxia to eat hairy crabs often popped up, which shows that the two have a good relationship.

Jin Daxia said: "Recently, your overseas "Sin Chew Daily" has not only successfully resumed its publication, but also increased its sales. You have done a good deed for the Chinese in Malaysia!"

In the past few years, the Malaysian government was not very friendly to the Chinese, cracked down on the MCA, and suspended the publication of "Sin Chew Daily". The situation of the Chinese is worrying.Fortunately, Guo Henian, who is friendly with the Malaysian government, stepped forward and took over the flagship trading company of the MCA (an important source of funds), stabilizing the situation; and now the resumption of publication of the No. [-] Chinese newspaper in Malaysia eased the situation of the Chinese once again.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Wanhui Media, it is the president and editor-in-chief there who are fighting with the government; but Wanhui Media has always used financial support to recall the original reporters and editors, otherwise, after the resumption of publication, there will be Then turn around quickly.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "As a newspaperman, I probably want to have a Chinese newspaper where there are Chinese people. Chinese language is the most important way for Chinese people in the world to communicate. Naturally, I also hope that this will be done. So I took over The first thing Yulang Group does is to strongly support the resumption of publication of "Sin Chew Daily."

Putting gold on his face, Lin Zuhui's real thought is that after the resumption of publication in his previous life, "Sin Chew Daily" soon saw a huge increase in sales, and it became the largest Chinese-language newspaper in Malay.As a businessman, that is profitable.

Jin Daxia praised: "Your idea is very good!"

The two chatted for a while before Lin Zuhui took the initiative to withdraw. Jin Daxia is the protagonist today and needs various entertainments.

Just after they left, Cen Caisheng from "Overseas Chinese Daily" walked up to Lin Zuhui and said, "I heard from Lao Zha that he intends to step down as president, do you know that?"

Cen was one of the first batch of newspapermen in Xiangjiang. "Overseas Chinese Daily" has a history of nearly 70 years. Cen Caisheng is two years older than Jin Daxia. I'm afraid I have some feelings today.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Earlier this year, he revealed that to me. At that time, I thought he was joking! It seems that today, he is going to announce the news officially!"

Cen Caisheng asked tentatively, "Are you interested in accepting Ming Pao Group?"

Lin Zuhui shook his head with a smile, and said, "Although I have a good personal relationship with Jin Daxia, when it comes to such a giant as the Ming Pao Group, Jin Daxia will not be emotional. But if there is hope, I will still fight for it!"

Cen Caisheng nodded. He knew that Lin Zuhui was passionate about the media. Of course, Lin Zuhui was not so passionate about the media as he was about the influence the media brought him.

"Are you interested in Huaqiao Daily?" Cen Caisheng finally expressed his thoughts and asked directly.

Lin Zuhui was taken aback, but Cen Caisheng took the initiative to recommend it.He has no idea about Huaqiao Daily, which is almost 70 years old, because he knows that this newspaper collapsed in the newspaper industry war in 1995 in its previous life.

During this period, Huaqiao Daily was sold by Cen Caisheng as early as 1991. The buyer was Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who belonged to the subsidiary of South China Morning Post.Afterwards, it changed hands many times and tried all kinds of struggles, but the suspension of publication was still unavoidable. Even the Governor of Hong Kong felt sorry for it. After all, it was a newspaper for 70 years.

Lin Zuhui asked curiously, "Are you planning to immigrate?"

Cen Caisheng said with a smile: "I am old, why do I still emigrate! Now that the operating costs are increasing and the salaries of employees are constantly rising, so "Huaqiao Daily" may have more room to survive under the big group!"

Lin Zuhui thought to himself, this is quite reasonable. When the newspaper industry war started in the 90s, only tabloids would close down. It is normal for a few tabloids to close down in a year.

This is why Lin Zuhui built Wanhui Media into a comprehensive company that focuses on property investment and comic development. In this way, Wanhui Media will not go bankrupt even in 2020.At most, it is converted into an investment company.

Lin Zuhui thought for a while, and said: "Old Cen, you are not in a hurry anyway, we will talk about this matter later. At present, "Huaqiao Daily" has not reached a point. If you still intend to sell it in a year or two, I am willing to sell it." Take over."

Cen Caisheng nodded, this is a good choice!

For Lin Zuhui, tens of millions can buy a 1-year-old signboard at that time, and then divide the work to focus on the group. Even if "Huaqiao Daily" cannot be saved, at least it will not lose money.

Since the 90s, Wanhui Media has monopolized Xiangjiang's newspaper industry to increase its influence for himself.

He is not short of money. For example, if Wanhui Media buys a property worth 10 billion yuan, it will make a net profit of [-] to [-] million yuan a year later, which is equivalent to buying a Ming Pao Group. Think about how easy it is.

After a while, after all the guests arrived, Jin Daxia delivered a speech.There are some testimonials as usual before, and finally: "Finally, I am here to announce a personal decision: I intend to resign as the president of Ming Pao and only retain the chairmanship of Ming Pao. I have carefully considered this decision. I will Gradually fade out of the arena of the newspaper industry and do what you like the most, such as reading!"

All of a sudden, the participating guests whispered, this is big news!
Anyone who is not stupid knows that Jin Daxia intends to sell Ming Pao Group!
Many people even looked at Lin Zuhui one after another. Isn't this person the best choice?
Of course, maybe not necessarily, Jin Yong may not hope that "Ming Pao" will become just a newspaper of Wanhui Media!

Lin Zuhui smiled faintly, making it difficult to see his true inner thoughts.In fact, the sales volume of "Daily Daily" has approached 40, and it has become the newspaper hegemony in Xiangjiang. The reason why "Ming Pao" is valued by Lin Zuhui is because Lin Zuhui wants to try to make it more successful in overseas Chinese cities.

At the end of the tea party, Lin Zuhui chatted with Jin Yong's three younger brothers: Huang Zhan, Ni Kuang, and Cai Lan.

Recently, the three of them collaborated on a program on ATV - "Undefended Tonight". This program was not proposed by Lin Zuhui, but by the management of ATV.In fact, Lin Zuhui just forgot it. Fortunately, it was planned by ATV.

"Boss Lin, do you welcome me to participate in the "Millionaire" you handpicked? I went to ATV and asked to sign up. They said that I belonged to ATV's partner recently and refused to let me register!" Huang Zhan said with a smile .

Lin Zuhui responded: "I think it is feasible! But in the future, we will open a celebrity-only show!"

The three younger brothers couldn't help showing admiration. What ATV's management couldn't handle, others could handle with a single sentence, and it wasn't the use of power for personal gain, but the method used.

After chatting with these people for a few words, Lin Zuhui left.

Of the so-called "four great talents", the other three are of course not at the same level and status as Jin Yong; after that, Huang Zhan's status in the world is much higher than that of Cai Lan and Ni Kuang.

Of course, the so-called talented people are not enough to look at in front of Lin Zuhui!The reason why they agreed was because of Huang Zhan's face. He often cooperates with ATV, and this year's beauty pageant also has him.
