Hong Kong's new giants

But Lin Xiufeng also got the news that He Shanheng intends to release the market, but Lin Bingyan's family has almost no strength (no capital), and the only advantage is that he owns 20% of Hengchang Enterprises.

Therefore, he first thought of Zheng Yutong, who had a close relationship with He Shanheng, and then he thought of Xu Zhantang, an upstart in the business world.

Ever since, he invited the two to conspire together.

The three of them gathered in a private room of a teahouse, and Lin Xiufeng talked about Hengchang Enterprise.

Zheng Yutong was very enthusiastic at first. Although he has retired and returned home to raise his grandchildren, he is actually busier than ever. This year he even went to the mainland for inspection.

Zheng Yutong said: "The acquisition of Hengchang Enterprise requires at least 50 billion or more funds. If we intend to form an alliance to acquire, we have to find a bank to provide a loan to be successful!"

Although the Zheng family is a wealthy man in Xiangjiang, it is absolutely impossible for him to come up with billions in cash flow.It can be said bluntly that none of the rich men in Hong Kong can give half of Lin Zuhui's cash.

Lin Xiufeng and Xu Zhantang nodded, but they still looked at Zheng Yutong, thinking to themselves, you wouldn't count on us two, would you?

Seeing this, Zheng Yutong didn't turn a corner, and said, "HSBC is the director of our New World Development, and I can persuade HSBC to provide a loan for this acquisition! However, how will the shares of the three of us be divided?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Xiufeng.

Lin Xiufeng is the initiator of this acquisition, so he was naturally prepared. He said: "The share distribution is that Chow Tai Fook, who represents the interests of the Zheng family, will account for 65%, Beihai Industry, which represents the interests of brother Xu, will account for 10%; Bai Ningshun, who represents the interests of the Lin family Accounting for 20%. Of course, because we own [-]% of Hengchang Enterprises, our family does not need to invest in cash!"

Zheng Yutong suddenly felt happy because he was the one who came to hold the banner.

"agree"

"I agree"

Soon the three reached an agreement and immediately contacted HSBC.

For such a huge loan matter, HSBC Bank also stated its own conditions: the acquisition is successful, that is, part of Hengchang's assets will be sold off, cash back, and part of the loan will be repaid.

The first thought of the three heads of the combination was to remove Hengchang's overseas assets.The next thing I thought of was that the bones had already been dismantled, and I simply dismantled them to the end—cut Hengchang's corpse into three pieces.After the dismantling of the bones, Zheng Yutong's Chow Tai Fook and New World acquired Hengchang's properties; the Lin brothers controlled Dachang's automobile agency rights; Xu Zhantang acquired the trading business such as grain and oil.

Although their idea is good, in fact, it is almost impossible to succeed.

Moreover, the New Era Group has already acted!

Friday, April 6.

Lin Zuhui decided to acquire Hengchang Enterprise, but it was only the fifth day, and he was already planning to go to Hengchang Building, the headquarters of Hengchang Enterprise, to meet with He Shanheng.

Thinking about other people's acquisitions, and then looking at Lin Zuhui's acquisitions, it is exactly in response to that sentence - fast, ruthless, and accurate.

As far as Lin Zuhui knew, it took a full year for Lin Xiufeng, Zheng Yutong, and Xu Zhantang to form a consortium to acquire Hengchang Enterprise in the previous life, and it has not yet been successful.

And Lin Zuhui believes that within two months at most, either He Shanheng will close the door, or he will give up the acquisition.

In this regard, Li Cucumber is somewhat similar to Lin Zuhui, but his bid is not as straightforward as Lin Zuhui's.

Of course, the reason why Lin Zuhui was 'quick and ruthless' was because he was robbing food, and he couldn't do it if he didn't 'quick and ruthless'!

What's more, he understands the general trend, as long as he doesn't lose money or go too far, he can accept it.

Lin Zuhui and Liang Botao visited He Shanheng of Hengchang Enterprise, and probably guessed what they wanted, so He Shanheng pulled He Tian and Liang Qiuju together to receive them.

After being polite, Lin Zuhui looked at the three old men who were about 90 years old, and said with a smile: "The three seniors are really good at predicting things. It seems that they have guessed our purpose!"

He Shanheng also showed a smile on his face, and said kindly: "You are a new rich man in Xiangjiang, and you started your business through acquisitions; But I'm curious, why did Lin Sheng think of acquiring Hengchang Enterprise?"

He didn't ask Lin Zuhui how he knew that he intended to release the market, because he didn't want Lin Zuhui to take the lead, and he was the one who became mature.

However, Lin Zuhui is an upright acquisition, so he doesn't need to think so much!
"To tell you the truth, I guessed it! In Hengchang Enterprise, there are no capable younger generations of the three old gentlemen to lead the army, so I plan to try!"

He Shanheng nodded, and said, "That's a point of view! There is no successor!"

Liang Botao immediately said: "He Sheng is serious. It should be said that everyone has their own ideas, and the capable ones are not here!"

After resolving the slight embarrassment, Lin Zuhui nodded inwardly to Liang Botao.

He Tian said, "Why is Lin Sheng optimistic about Hengchang Enterprise?"

But it was setting Lin Zuhui a trap, and He Tian was probably the one of the three who most wanted to sell stocks, and most wanted to cash out.In this way, it is just hoping to sell at a high price.Moreover, there is no intention to sell it.

Three old men!
But fortunately, who doesn't want to sell at a high price!

As long as their children become famous, they will not "give away" the family business.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I want to dabble in trade, and Hengchang Enterprise is a trade giant, so I am naturally happy to see it."

He is also not considered weak, and his speech can be considered watertight.

Of course, he is asking for a purchase now, so he can't annoy others too much. Lin Zuhui gave Liang Botao a look.

Liang Botao immediately said: "We came here with sincerity. New Times Group is willing to pay 310 yuan per share to acquire Hengchang Enterprise, which involves about 65 billion yuan of funds."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Zuhui's sharp eyes found that the three old men were all surprised and moved.Although these expressions are very subtle, ordinary people can't detect them, but Lin Zuhui has a physical talent, so he can always observe the subtleties.

He Shanheng said calmly: "This price is still too low, and you don't even know how rich our property is. We won't sell the foundation that we have worked hard for at a low price!"

Liang Botao immediately followed the clues and said, "If it's convenient, could you please give us a copy of your company's information?"

Hengchang Enterprise is a non-listed company, and it is difficult for outsiders to know the specific situation, so Lin Zuhui and Liang Botao are only making estimates based on rough estimates.

If he could get the financial report of Hengchang Enterprise, it would be equivalent to He Shanheng expressing his intention to approach, and Lin Zuhui would have an advantage over other consortiums interested in acquiring Hengchang Enterprise.

He Shanheng pretended to think about it, and then said: "Well, we need to discuss it internally. If we intend to sell Hengchang Enterprise, we may provide you with a piece of information, and then you can reorganize the quotation."

Lin Zuhui said: "Okay! Our New Times Group is very sincere in the acquisition, and will not offend the three seniors. If the New Times Group's acquisition is successful, it will not tear down Hengchang Enterprises. This point, the three seniors can Don't worry. Hengchang's old employees are all Kuibao, we will consider their relationship with the three of you, and we will continue to hire them!"

Sure enough, when Lin Zuhui said that he would not tear down Hengchang Enterprise, all three of them were tempted.Especially He Shanheng, he absolutely didn't want anyone to tear down his Hengchang company. Those old employees are relatives and friends of everyone, and they need to consider their future.

"Lin Sheng, you really deserve to be Superman Lin from Xiangjiang!"

"There, there, the seniors praised it!"

In fact, Lin Zuhui is definitely not as friendly as he said. After the acquisition, he will definitely dismantle the bones, but not immediately.

It’s like Ming Pao Group, it’s acquired first, and then it’s done. In a few years, it can do whatever it wants.In the beginning, they didn't dismantle the bones, but it was just to take care of the face of the former club.

After a long time, the former club's relationship has been discussed, and there is no problem.

On Saturday morning, Lin Zuhui came to the ATV building.

Today's ATV is a vibrant communication company with a certain influence in the world, because the copyright of "Millionaire" has been purchased by the United States and the United Kingdom, and ATV has made a full profit of 1500 million US dollars.

In the office, Lin Zuhui looked at ATV's financial statements and was in a wonderful mood.

He has already thought of a broad road for ATV, which is to make a lot of money by producing programs and then selling copyrights.

Since ATV was taken over by him, regardless of the original programs in Hong Kong in his previous life, such as "Prize Doorman" and "Laughing Star Save the Earth", he also produced "The Voice of Hong Kong", "Millionaire" and "Music Bank". , is a great success.

However, when Lin Zuhui thought of selling a copyright of "Millionaire" and only earned 800 million US dollars, he immediately felt very heartbroken.

You know, in 2001, the American FOX Broadcasting Company purchased the British "Pop Idol" for a total of 7000 million U.S. dollars; Also over $1998 million.

He sold it at a loss!

"Pop Idol," "American Idol," "Britain's Got Talent," "America's Got Talent," these are all solid cash flows.

Of course, "The Voice of Hong Kong" is actually the 'grandfather of the talent show', but because the two seasons held are limited to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, the influence is limited, so it is currently causing a wave of heat in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.The copyright is not currently for sale, but many potential singers have been selected for ATV, which has boosted the ratings.

Lin Zuhui tapped on the table, thinking about how to make a lot of money in "produced programs". In the future, ATV will plagiarize the popular programs of the previous life and sell copyrights, which will become world famous. This is Lin Zuhui's idea.

"Yes, first use satellite TV to expand the audition of "The Voice of Hong Kong" to the whole of Asia, especially the Chinese in Southeast Asia."

"As long as ATV has enough fame, it won't sell the copyright at such a low price in the future!"

There are so many programs in his mind, such as European, American, Korean, and Taiwanese ones. Once all of them are plagiarized in advance one after another, they are simply machines for printing money.

In the previous life, how many copyrights were sold to the mainland by Korean sticks, and a running man alone sold 2 million.

In his previous life, he watched few serials, but he was keen on watching variety shows, so there are too many memories in his mind about the production of programs, the structure of small games, etc.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui made a plan to copy European and American programs in the 90s first, and then copy Bangzi's programs in the millennium.There is no need for several programs on Taiwan Island. Although Lin Zuhui often watched them in his previous life, he has never heard of selling copyrights. It is probably too explicit and not suitable for children.

After a while, ATV's high-level executives came to the conference room one after another.

At the meeting, Lin Zuhui said: ""The Voice of Hong Kong" is a good program, but my original intention is to attract Chinese from all over the world to join, and it seems that it has not been done yet. So I plan to wait for the third season of 'Asia Satellite TV' to start broadcasting before launching Audition. It will really expand the scope to the world, of course, mainly in Asia."

The two satellite receivers leased by ATV can allow ATV to cover the whole of Asia, which can be described as a good tool for publicity.At present, the Hong Kong government has promised to issue a satellite license to ATV, but Li Chaoren has not yet obtained it.

Because of this news, Sixth Uncle Shao was almost beaten to the ground. It is said that Wireless was in a mess at the time, and Uncle Shao couldn't control it.There is no way for TVB to set up a satellite station now, because there is no satellite receiver for them to rent.

And ATV is moving very fast. The preparatory team has officially started work at present, and it is expected to start broadcasting by the end of the year.

Selina Chow nodded and said, "The boss is right. "The Voice of Hong Kong" is a very good program. It is the true originator of the 'draft' in the world. It is indeed somewhat buried at present. It is very right to increase investment in Asia!"

Everyone agreed one after another, the wider the scope of the audition, the higher the production fee will be.

But now ATV is also rich, especially its "Millionaire" in addition to selling copyrights, and it costs 60 to produce an episode, but now the advertising fee has risen to more than 130 million, and the profit is 70 per episode, which is a year. Profit of more than 3500 million.

Not only that, a hot program's ratings will also drive the ratings of other programs.

Therefore, the current ATV and TVB not only have [-]-[-] ratings (occasionally winning), but also have [-]-[-] or even [-]-[-] advertising expenses.

Then, Lin Zuhui asked Li Baoan: "How is the preparation for listing?"

Li Baoan quickly said: "Everything is ready, and it will be formally registered next week. The preliminary estimate is to raise 6.25 million yuan! According to the investigation of investors beforehand, there is absolutely no problem with the subscription, and the subscription may exceed several times."

Lin Zuhui nodded. The value of ATV is 30 billion to 50 billion, but it is registered to sell shares with a market value of 25 billion, so I believe it is very tempting.

The listing raised 6.25 million funds, accounting for almost one-eighth of the annual listing funds in Hong Kong, which can be described as a giant listing.After the August [-]th stock market disaster, the market still had a great impact.

However, the listing of Lin Zuhui's company is a high-quality asset in itself, coupled with his own influence, investors are naturally willing to follow.

The funds raised are mainly used for the start-up funds for the construction of ATV's Tseung Kwan O headquarters, the preparatory funds for Asia Satellite TV, and the account will have sufficient cash flow.

After doing so much for ATV, Lin Zuhui's chairman's fee will be increased to 150 million per month after ATV's listing, which can be regarded as pocket money.

Then, everyone reported to Lin Zuhui the plans for episodes, programs, etc. Generally speaking, they were very stable.

Even though Lin Zuhui didn't bring many programs and dramas to ATV, but it's like fighting a war. Once the fight goes smoothly, it will increase the overall momentum.

At present, ATV is really exciting and blooming in an all-round way, and the talents of ATV are not weaker than TVB.

Finally, Lin Zuhui said: "Has the host of the World Cup made an appointment in advance for He Shouxin?"

The Olympics and the World Cup are sharp weapons, and the host of the program is very important.Lin Zuhui was sure that Uncle Shao Liu would call He Shouxin's attention, so he called ATV's management early.

"Well, it was negotiated at the beginning of the year, and the contract is signed. I'm afraid Sixth Uncle Shao is a few steps too late!" Zhou Liang Shuyi said with a smile.

As far as sports hosts are concerned, He Shouxin is currently the best. He understands sports.Although Huang Zhan has good eloquence, his knowledge of sports is a little weak.

Thinking of Huang Zhan, Lin Zuhui suddenly thought of a good program.

He immediately said: "How about we ATV plan a single-host talk show with Huang Zhan? Let's call it 'Huang Zhanxiu' and invite celebrities from the performing arts." He roughly expressed his previous life in the United States, such as "Ellen Show".Everyone is familiar with this kind of program, after all, "Undefended Tonight" is also a similar program.

Huang Zhan was not invited to host the World Cup, which must have offended him a bit. Huang Zhan is a frequent visitor of ATV, but rarely cooperates with TVB.

Selina Chow immediately said, "Well, I think it's very good!"

Everyone quickly passed this resolution!
They trust their boss too much. People who succeed in everything can't be doubted.

After quickly finishing the ATV work, Lin Zuhui officially prepared to take the weekend off. He now works five and a half days a week.

Half a day on Saturday is usually spent at ATV or Wanhui Media, and half a day is always spent every week to deal with the affairs of these two companies.
