Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 394 [New official takes office]

On Saturday morning, Lin Zuhui came to YG Entertainment.

For the "Hong Kong Idol" launched during the summer vacation, Lin Zuhui often came to personally grasp the style, and he must establish a genre of entertainment in one fell swoop.

To be honest, he feels that Xiangjiang's music scene has not improved in almost 20 years, since Xu Guanjie became famous in Cantonese, he has continued that style.There is nothing new in the top ten golden songs of TVB every year.

If there is something new, it is Chen Baiqiang's singing and dancing, and Mei Yanfang's non-mainstream dressing.Through the styles of these two people, Lin Zuhui feels that Xiangjiang cannot accept other styles, but that no one has creativity and imagination.

As for the HOT group and Li Zhenxian's style, once they come out, they will completely smash the Xiangjiang music scene.

This is not a bad thing, contention among a hundred schools of thought is a good thing.

Moreover, the music of "Hong Kong Culture" is aimed at young people, and its scope is the popular elements of the whole Asia.

In a practice room, Lin Zuhui is communicating with the 'Lee Jung Hyun' team. The team includes music producers, dance teachers, performance teachers, costume artists, makeup artists, etc. There are more than [-] people who are tailor-made for Lee Jung Hyun.

Music production is the most difficult. They must be familiar with various elements such as electronic music, retro music, technology, rap, psychedelic, horror, etc., and form a style with strong concepts, so that they can become popular immediately.

But fortunately, Lin Zuhui is familiar with this style, because he used to be a fan of Li Zhenxian. He doesn't understand Korean, but at least he can hum it, and he can even understand the meaning of the lyrics.

Moreover, didn't Zheng Xiuwen cover other people's songs, for example, "Change" was sung into "Elated", and "Wow" was adapted into "Unique".

However, he felt that Zheng Xiuwen's voice was not enough, far less crisp than Li Zhenxian's, so Lin Zuhui personally liked Li Zhenxian's voice in Hong Kong.

Of course Li Zhenxian did not sing in Cantonese, but in Mandarin. The same is true for the HOT team. They all focus on Mandarin songs, but there are also Cantonese versions.Cantonese is too difficult to pronounce, it is impossible to be so shocking and brisk, a rap is difficult.

What's more, they are targeting the entire Asian market!

With the demonstration of the Little Tigers, it is obvious that Mandarin songs will work.

In the practice room, with the music of "Unique" already produced, Li Zhenxian started her performance.

At this time, Lin Zuhui was no longer so scary to her, and the two had communicated and exchanged several times;

In her opinion, apart from being stricter, Lin Zuhui doesn't have much lethality.

In the sound of the music, Li Zhenxian and her backup dancer were so dynamic that Lin Zuhui couldn't help moving with the music, it felt like a concert.

Fan dance, Hanfu costumes, and "exaggerated" shapes are all signs of the birth of new genres.In the previous life, Li Zhenxian was the originator of the Hallyu. In this life, let Xiangjiang guide this genre!

The team members are not surprised to see that Lin Zuhui is like a fan, because they are also indulging in this new style of music and performance recently.

Everyone turned into a fan of Lee Jung Hyun and was intoxicated.

When the song is over, everyone is still full of ideas!

Lin Zuhui was the first to react, called Li Zhenxian to his side, and said seriously: "The facial expression is not enough, you must have personality and self-confidence. Now you are a representative idol of a music genre, and you should practice in front of the mirror."

Li Zhenxian listened very carefully, she felt that Lin Zuhui was the mentor of this genre, and everyone should follow his ideas.

"Well, boss, I will work hard!"

Lin Zuhui couldn't help but patted Li Zhenxian on the shoulder and said, "Work hard!"

"I will definitely try my best!"

Lin Zuhui turned his head and said: "There are still three months left, your music production department must hurry up, I believe that the representative song of the style "Unique" has been done, and the subsequent songs will not be difficult!"

The person in charge of music production immediately said: "It's too late, we almost have a clue, we can definitely finish it before June!"

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction!
Li Zhenxian debuted on July [-]st, and HOT group debuted at the end of July. They both made their debut through ATV's "Music Bank" program, and then they were widely reported by the media and TV stations, and carried out activities through road shows and commercial performances, and then through overseas programs. , Asia Satellite TV to promote. After a complete set of procedures, it is just an ordinary album, and it can also be turned into a 'platinum record'.

At the beginning of a new week, Xiangjiang's "Financial Daily" published a piece of news, which aroused considerable public opinion in Xiangjiang—"Yuan Tianfan, the former chairman of the board of directors of the Stock Exchange, was appointed as the chief executive officer of Hengchang Holdings."

There was a lot of public opinion, who is Yuan Tianfan, the youngest chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and also a good friend of Li Chaoren, the object of Li Chaoren's efforts to win over.

But unexpectedly, after Yuan Tianfan left the chairman of the board of directors of the stock exchange, he did not choose to work for Li Chaoren, but instead chose to work for Lin Chaoren.

However, many people have noticed that Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa are full of talents. It is obviously unrealistic for Yuan Tianfan to be the chief executive officer. Being an ordinary director would be a loss of status.

And Hengchang Holdings is a large trading company acquired by New Era Group in the last year, and its strength can be ranked among the top [-] blue-chip stocks; Yuan Tianfan is the CEO, and there is absolutely no meaning of "decentralization".

As a result, public opinion generally believed that: Yuan Tianfan was only making a deliberate choice for his own future; what's more, Lin Chaoren's strength was not weaker than Li Chaoren's.

Hengchang Building.

This building is located next to 'Nine Queen's Road'. Landmark wanted to buy it back then and rebuild it together; as a result, it was rejected by He Shanheng and others.

Lin Zuhui once almost owned Hengchang Building and No. 10 Queen's Road at the same time, but he still chose to fulfill his "promise" and sold Hengchang Building to He Shanheng for 8.8 million in October last year.

There is nothing to regret. The location of Hengchang Building is good, but the floor area and floor area can only be regarded as medium-sized buildings.At the beginning, he promised to sell to He Shanheng for two reasons: first, he supported his acquisition of Hengchang Enterprise; second, if he rectified Hengchang Enterprise himself in the future, He Shanheng would have nothing to say.

Now is the time to rectify!

Some of the original employees of Hengchang Holdings, although they will not neglect the new boss, they can do things well; however, because they have been under the management of the three old men for a long time, they have developed a style of "not thinking about making progress".

Now, the new CEO, Yuan Tianfan, wants to completely eliminate this style, and those who should be fired will be fired.

Anyway, those people had already received a large pension before Lin Zuhui took over.

In the conference room of Hengchang Holdings, Lin Zuhui held a meeting. On the left and right sides of him were the two former CEOs: Lu Donglai and Yuan Tianfan. More than half of the other senior staff had come from the New Era Group.

Senior staff from Times Communications, retail, shipping, port, beverage and food, Chinese medicine and other businesses attended the meeting.

And Yuan Tianfan has been low-key to Hengchang Holdings for an internship for half a month, and it was only officially announced in the last few days.

In the conference room, Lin Zuhui first said:
"Some people say that our New Times Group is a comprehensive group company of Cheung Kong Group and Hutchison Whampoa. This is not wrong at all. When the profits of the New Times Group are rolling in, then the group company has a lot of cash flow If the money is placed in the account, it is a great waste; if all dividends are paid, it will be difficult for the group to develop."

"Therefore, the best way is to 'reinvest'. There are many investment directions, such as retail, beverage and food, and ports. The scope of investment is also very wide. Xiangjiang, overseas, and the mainland all have good opportunities."

"Therefore, the positioning of Hengchang Holdings is a comprehensive group company. I now announce that the group's ports, shipping, communications, retail, medicine, beverage and food, these businesses will all be merged into Hengchang Holdings. Mr. Yuan Tianfan, will Become the chief executive officer of this company. Director Lu Donglai will be responsible for the development of real estate, infrastructure and other businesses in the mainland."

Everyone applauded!

Hutchison Whampoa is a big company. Although Hengchang Enterprises, the predecessor of Hengchang Holdings, is also among the top [-] blue chip stocks, it is still far behind Hutchison of the four foreign firms.

However, now that so many companies have merged in, even if it is not as good as Hutchison Whampoa, it is not that far behind.

Lin Zuhui signaled Yuan Tianfan to speak!

Yuan Tianfan nodded. He is also ambitious at this time, and he is bound to make some achievements, so as not to let down the boss's "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".

"Hello colleagues! I am honored to join Hengchang Holdings, a subsidiary of New Era Group, and also honored to be the chief executive officer. Everyone knows that our boss's style of work is more familiar to you than me, and I know a lot about it. Therefore, in the future, we will put forth [-]% of our efforts to grow the company. In the next period of time, Hengchang Holdings will enter a period of integration and rectification. I hope everyone will take the lead and set an example and do our best for the company.”

There are not many words, but everyone smells an unusual smell!
Especially the former senior staff of Hengchang Enterprise felt a chill in their hearts.At the time of the acquisition, the current boss made a strong promise to follow the original style of Hengchang Enterprise.It has only been half a year, and the big killer is about to be sacrificed immediately.

Of course, they dare not neglect, because the original three old men will not make any more noise.

Some senior staff began to mourn for the relatives of the three old men. It was probably just those people who performed the worst in the company.I took my retirement pension (the pension provided by the company) in advance, and my life is so chic, and now it is time to come to an end.

After the meeting was dissolved, Lin Zuhui, Yuan Tianfan, and Lu Donglai came to the office.

After sitting down, after the assistant made tea and left the office, Lin Zuhui said, "Tianfan, what do you think of the Mainland?"

Yuan Tianfan thought for a while, and then expressed a lot of his own opinions, more negative ones.

Lin Zuhui listened with a smile, and sighed: "What you said is the truth! But you didn't consider that such a huge country may be changing all the time. The 80s is more advanced than the 70s, so the 90s will definitely be more open. .I often go to the mainland for inspections, and I have some understanding of the above policies. So I want to tell you that the return rate of overseas investment is too low. Those companies that choose to vigorously develop overseas will come back sooner or later. Now, the mainland only lacks an opportunity. The huge market will open its arms to us immediately."

Yuan Tianfan couldn't help being a little shocked when he heard the words. He didn't doubt that Lin Zuhui was talking nonsense and trusting him blindly.Because of the legendary experience of his own boss, and because he knew that the boss had anticipated the [-], [-], and [-] stock disasters (Iraq invaded Kuwait) in advance, and made a lot of money in the stock market (some insiders on the stock exchange) information).

Moreover, the boss can be so foresighted, so the international financial investment, I don't know how much money he made.This kind of speculation has formed a convincing statement in the upper class of Xiangjiang.

After all, over the years, Lin Zuhui has not received much dividends from several of his listed companies, but instead spent about [-] billion to feed back.

Where does his money come from?
He is not a rich second generation, he has a family background, and the only possibility is to make a financial profit. That's why Lin Zuhui has the title of "stock god".

"The boss is right in his analysis. I will re-examine my point of view and seriously consider the importance of the mainland market to Hengchang Holdings!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, with him watching, he wouldn't go astray; but he still had to persuade Yuan Tianfan to keep pace with his own, otherwise the two would 'break up' sooner or later.

Yuan Tianfan has his own pride, but Lin Zuhui is more convinced that his general policy will not go wrong.

Then, Lin Zuhui confided to Yuan Tianfan the strategies of "rejuvenating Hong Kong with traditional Chinese medicine" and "entering the mainland market for beverages and foods", and Yuan Tianfan took notes carefully.

Because these two businesses are new growth points, let Yuan Tianfan remember them.

In the end, he said: "In general, many industries of Hengchang Holdings are still in the layout. There is no need to think about profitability too early, only need to consider expanding the scale and making long-term investment preparations."

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "I got it! I have to trouble Director Lu for the details."

Lu Donglai immediately said: "No problem, I will explain clearly."

Seeing this scene, Lin Zuhui was satisfied. His greatest hope was that New Times Group could become a Fortune [-] company.
