Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 389 [Comics Prosper Hong Kong]

Time flies, and the Spring Festival of 1991 passed in a blink of an eye.

This year, Huiyuan villa group on Nanwan Road welcomed the owner of the eighth villa.He hadn't intended to expand the organization.But when he met someone who was too ripe, he still couldn't control it. The key is that this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she won't be touched unless she gives her sweetness.

Forget it, if you can afford it, take more responsibility!

In the group of villas, eight fairies, eight children, plus Lin Zuhui, the Lin family already has seventeen members before they know it.Moreover, recently he has started to create a human being again, preparing to give birth to a second child and preparing to give birth to the first child.

Not surprisingly, Lin Zuhui will have 12 children this year.

He now thinks very clearly that according to the development of this situation, his future wealth may be several trillion, and the real wealth is incomparable to the enemy.At that time, it is absolutely not safe to put them all in the family office. It is better to distribute half of them to the sons in the future, all of whom will be billionaires.

Therefore, the Lin family is not short of money, but they are short of people!
After the Spring Festival.

New Era Group officially released its performance announcement and announced its dividend plan.

For a time, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shocked!
With a net profit of 80.5 billion, it surpassed HSBC and became the most profitable company in Xiangjiang.However, many people have noticed that the non-recurring profit of New Era Group last year was as high as 41 billion. Needless to say, the stock gods are operating financial investments.

But no matter what, after New Era Group announced its results that day, the stock immediately rose by 5%, and even the broader market soared by 3%. The small market drove the big market.The more than 5 shareholders of New Times Group are happy, and the stock has risen by 1%, not to mention the dividend of 5 Hong Kong dollar per share.

The market capitalization of New Era Group rose to HK$580 billion (total share capital of 15 billion shares), making it the brightest stock in the market for a while.

In the office, Lin Zuhui watched the stock price of New Era Group skyrocket, and he was also very happy.

Although he didn't think about cashing out, it didn't prevent him from being happy because he created value for shareholders.

As for the more than [-] million dividends this time, he had to pay back and raise funds through rights issues.

Now that the market value of New Era Group is so huge, Wang Qilin and Zheng Yutong actually don’t have many shares. Wang Qilin had already cashed out in 1, and now it is estimated that it is only about 1%; So there is only a little more than 1% left, but he only invested [-] million back then, and now the rate of return is seven or eight times, which is absolutely very cost-effective.

The shares of New Era Group are relatively scattered, and there are no two shareholders and three shareholders, only Lin Zuhui, the major shareholder.Because many large institutions were afraid of Lin Zuhui's gambling-style investment and frequent rights issue to raise funds from the beginning, they did not choose to invest heavily.On the contrary, ordinary investors, because of their pursuit of Lin Zuhui, bought shares of New Era Group one after another.

It is precisely because of this that no shareholder holding more than 3% of the shares has yet to be found.

"Dong Dong" knocked on the door.

Assistant Li Ke brought in Times Telecom's president, Langstadt. As far as the current situation is concerned, the people in charge of telecommunications, retail, and ports all report directly to Lin Zuhui. Of course, they are also under the supervision of Lu Donglai.

After Yuan Tianfan takes office next month, Lin Zuhui will gradually let the presidents of these branches report to Yuan Tianfan, the president of Hengchang Holdings.Of course, Lin Zuhui doesn't care about it, he will also focus on the general direction.

Longshiduo sat seriously on the sofa, straightened his body, and did not taste the tea Li Ke poured for him.

"Boss, we have won the bid for the second-generation mobile phone CT2 license issued by the Hong Kong government!" Langstad said with a happy expression.

Lin Zuhui nodded. He was not overly happy. The Hong Kong government took out four CT2 licenses at one time, and only seven consortiums entered the bid.

The important thing is that New Times Group is the owner of one of the three first-generation mobile phone licenses, that is to say, theoretically, all three license holders of the first generation will win the bid this time, and the other four consortiums will compete for one of the licenses .

"Which other consortiums won the bid?" Lin Zuhui asked curiously.

Longstadt said: "Hutchison Communications' Tiandi Line (90% of Hutchison, 10% of HSBC), Hong Kong Diandian Telephone (50% of Hong Kong Telecom)
1%、新鸿基工业基金35%、星光传媒14.9%）、太平专讯的经纬站（第一太平45%、其士商业国际45%、佳讯10%）”

The monks eat more meat, which is still a little bit, so everyone formed a consortium to divide the four licenses.

The same is true for Era Communications, which gave up 3% of its shares to British Telecom.

In the small Xiangjiang, the competition in the telecommunications industry is very fierce. After the competition to the end, only a few companies are left to have the last laugh. In fact, in the countryside of Xiangjiang, telecommunications are not very good, because they are developed by private companies, and the cost must be considered Naturally, the problem cannot be taken care of.

This cannot be blamed on the private telecommunication companies. The government charges high license fees, which have to be passed on to consumers in the end.The 3G license of Xiangjiang in the previous life was the highest price in the world.

Lin Zuhui said: "The so-called second-generation telephone uses telepoint technology to transmit information. Unlike cellular mobile phones, it can only make calls outdoors, but cannot receive calls. The effect of the phone call."

Longshido nodded and said, "It's really inconvenient!"

Lin Zuhui continued: "So, we don't need to put on a posture and fight too hard with Huang. In a few years, maybe digital cellular mobile phones will come out, and the price of digital phones will also drop. So , We must keep an eye on this technology and adjust our strategy in a timely manner.”

Longstadt was a little surprised, this boss really knows everything!

"Okay, I'll take care of it!"

Lin Zuhui nodded!

In fact, Hong Kong’s CT2 business does not need to invest too much every year, and it is estimated that it will be less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars a year; it is completely incomparable with the CT2 investment in the UK. to make).

Calculated in this way, the New Times Group needs to spend HK$12 billion every year in vain.

But it is completely acceptable, anyway, most of the loans are taken, and the interest rate is not high; by the mid-90s, New Times Group could make a profit of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars a year, so why not be afraid of such a small amount of money.

As for the return of telecommunications, we have to wait until the 21st century.

When Lin Zuhui came to the News Building, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Wanhui Media's net profit last year was as high as HK$5.2 million, but he was not overjoyed at all, because the company's potential was exhausted.

Newspapers and magazines contributed a net profit of 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars last year, comics contributed a net profit of 2.2 million last year, properties a net profit of 0.8 million, and Ming Pao Group a dividend of 0.6 million.

At present, Wanhui Media has more than 12 billion properties worth more than 6 billion, but there is still an installment loan of [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

Wanhui Media bought an office building worth 10 billion yuan (with a loan of 7 million yuan) after the sharp drop in [-]. At present, the appreciation is limited, and it is estimated that the value will skyrocket next year.

When he came to his office, although it was clean, he rarely came to this company.

While drinking tea, Lin Zuhui's mind kept running.

Wanhui Media can't go on like this. Although investing in properties can make money, but with its own Hengjin Investment and New Times Group, Wanhui Media can't get Wanhui Media's turn. We can't let all its subsidiaries come to the real estate industry.

In recent years, the "newspaper war" may break out, and the profit of newspapers will suddenly decrease at that time, which also needs to be considered in advance.

He was thinking, after the 90s in the previous life, Japan's bubble crisis broke out, why the economy did not decline, and the per capita GDP actually increased.What was lost was the real estate and securities bubbles, but their economy burst out with new vitality.

The automobile industry, this is a focus of Japan's economic explosion after the 90s;
The electronics industry, this is also a focus of Japan's economic explosion after the 90s;
The comics industry, yes, the comics industry!
In the previous life, the value of the Japanese manga industry was 230 trillion yen, equivalent to about 2 trillion U.S. dollars.

If Xiangjiang can go in part, it will be enough for Xiangjiang's economy to take off.

Although Xiangjiang's market is not as big as Japan's, Lin Zuhui discovered that as long as the works are good, he can make a lot of money after operating comics in the past few years.

Moreover, the most profitable thing in the comics industry is not publications, but peripherals.Just create a good work, and then cooperate with local publishing houses in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other places to promote it in the local market.

The profits of the publications are distributed to local publishing houses, but most of the surrounding profits are in the hands of Wanhui Media.

To make comics, just copy Japanese comics!
Lin Zuhui looked a little excited. In fact, his plagiarism was just an idea, because he is not a cartoonist; he doesn't care whether the creation is the same as his previous life, but as long as he has a [-]% level, he can make enough money.

Comic booming, it seems that he is ready to do something big!

But this time, he didn't need to make a big fuss and let the whole people participate.

Because Wanhui Media's comics industry itself accounts for more than [-]% of Xiangjiang.

Picking up the phone, Lin Zuhui called Long Jingchang, Zhao Han, and Luo Bencheng, three high-level executives. One was the president of Wanhui Media, the other was the God of Wealth of Wanhui Media, and the other was Wanhui Comics (the name has been changed, the original Yulang Comics Club) ) of the president.

Soon, the three came to Lin Zuhui's office together.

"Boss!" The three greeted each other happily, that is to say, they were happy to see the boss because they were happy with their performance in the past year.

Lin Zuhui nodded and motioned for the three of them to sit down. He also came to the sofa with paper and pen in his hand.

"Last year, the profit of comics was very good, reaching 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars. This is almost the sum of the output value of all comics in Hong Kong before we took over Yulang Comics, and it was about [-]% more. Even now, we still account for more than [-]% of Xiangjiang Comics. profit."

Hearing Lin Zuhui's praise, Luo Bencheng said flatteringly: "The "Slam Dunk" hand-picked by the boss is too popular in Japan. It's a pity that we gave too much profit to the Japanese partner!"

"Slam Dunk" can be said to be the comic that Lin Zuhui is most familiar with, so he almost gave a complete outline of the plot and characters.He can even remember the appearance and characteristics of Yingmu Huadao, Rukawa Kaede, Haruko and other characters.

The profits generated in Japan are hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars per year, and Wanhui Media only gets 5000-8000 million of annual profits, and the rest is swallowed up by the partners.The value of the surrounding area does not have much share from Wanhui Media.

So, launching a publication in Japan just doesn't work!
However, in any country, foreign publications are not allowed to be published directly. Only through the channels of local publishing houses can they be published.Therefore, it is already very good to be able to get a share of the money!

Moreover, Wanhui Media did not develop peripheral value well, nor did it have the strength, so it got so little.

Lin Zuhui said: "So I regret it very much. Why did we launch it in Japan? If we had launched it in Xiangjiang, and then distributed paper media through local publishing houses. And we enjoy all the rights and interests of the comics, then we will get more than this little profit! "

Everyone showed regretful expressions, and Luo Bencheng said, "Not bad!"

Lin Zuhui continued: "Did our manga club in Japan cultivate some excellent chief writers?"

Luo Bencheng nodded and said: "Well, because you said back then that you wanted to absorb the techniques of Japanese manga, the manga club over there has always had a lot of staff. In Hong Kong, the market sends manga artists to study and communicate, so in the past few years There are also some excellent Japanese manga works in Hong Kong!"

Japanese manga is just a style, and the Korean manga in the previous life also has its shadow.

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Well, you quickly set up a Japanese-style manga club in Xiangjiang, but remember to incorporate a little bit of our Chinese style to form a new genre. This manga club needs to be large-scale, and invite Japanese chief writers to join. Because I received two very good themes, and I will hand them over to you for creation later."

The three of them were pleasantly surprised, they were too familiar with this routine!
Robbencheng immediately said excitedly: "Is it based on the team size of two "Slam Dunk"?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Yes. One is about Sherlock Holmes detectives, and the other is about pet training series. Feel free to poach people for me. I plan to invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to create an industrial chain of 'comics revitalize Hong Kong'!"

For a moment, the three of them were shocked!

The boss's "Hong Kong Stream Culture Prospers Hong Kong" has set off a big trend in Hong Kong, and the literary and art circles have followed and promoted it together.

Lin Zuhui added: "Secret, this is necessary! Because we are the comics that rule Xiangjiang, there is no need for others to participate."

"Ok!"

Long Jingchang said at this time: "If the boss wants to develop the comics industry with all his strength, shouldn't we also invest in comics peripherals, such as establishing animation production companies, toy factories, etc.!"

Lin Zuhui said: "That's right, these things must be dabbled in, and it is necessary to 'overtake on a curve', invest heavily directly, recruit talents from Japan, buy equipment, and even directly acquire Japanese animation companies and Hong Kong toy factories."

Everyone started offering advice one after another!
Of course, the top priority is to form a manga club in the style of Japanese manga!
And move fast, because Lin Zuhui plans to copy "Detective Conan" and "Pokémon".However, he only had a little memory of these two comics, and he couldn't provide much material.He remembers the appearance of Pikachu and Conan very clearly.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he grabs the name, he can give the Japanese a headache.Not to mention, no matter how little memory he has, he can still remember the general theme, style, plot and so on.

"Pokémon" was originally a Nintendo game, but now he has to publish comics first because he cannot enter the game console industry.In the future, if Nintendo takes a fancy to it, it can come and buy the copyright.

And he also knows that "Pokémon" is actually already in the mind of the original creator, but it has not been published.Of course, the original work may be just an idea now, without a complete outline.

It is not as fast as Lin Zuhui's, and these two works may be interviewed in Xiangjiang next year!
