Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 512 [Financial Freedom]

After a visit in Paris, Lin Zuhui did not return to Hong Kong immediately, but went to London to meet with Richman.

The Canary Wharf project has been redeemed from creditor banks, but the next priority is to communicate with the London government to start the subway extension line as soon as possible.In this way, only companies are willing to move into this area to work.

At present, this project already has eight office buildings with an area of ​​60 square meters, but the occupancy rate is only 40%.Therefore, instead of rushing to build taller buildings, it is to improve the infrastructure and transportation facilities of Canary Wharf.

Time flies, and two weeks pass in a blink of an eye.

In mid-July, the summer is hot.

Lin Zuhui is in a good mood recently. London gold reached the liquidation line of US$6 per ounce at the end of June. He did not hesitate to let Hengjin Investment and Octopus Bank slowly liquidate futures and spot positions.

This round of gold futures/spot speculation took a total of about eight months, but the profits obtained were huge.In terms of futures, it is expected to make a profit of 38 billion, and the return cost is 48 billion; in terms of spot goods, it is expected to make a profit of about 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a profit rate of 16-18%. In eight months, it is several times more cost-effective than lending.

At this time, the USD/JPY index also fell to about 108 points, which greatly increased Lin Zuhui's investment book profits (about 45 billion).

The futures contract is still in progress, and the current profit is more than 10 billion.

Coupled with the sharp increase in the rent of Hengjin Real Estate this year, Lin Zuhui predicts that he will soon have about 150 billion in cash, and it will be after repaying his personal loans.With such a huge wealth, Lin Zuhui has no good investment for a while, but he can continue to buy some familiar US stocks for long-term investment.

Of course, with real estate dividends rolling in, the dividends of New Era Group next year may be as high as more than 30 billion (half for individuals), and the other three listed groups will also enter the return period, and they will also distribute high dividends every year.The annual rental return of Hengjin Real Estate will also be more than 15 billion.

Lin Zuhui lamented that he had finally made it through.

Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, all foreign exchange positions have been closed. A total of 13.8 billion profits have been made, and 18.8 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash have been withdrawn."

Let the New Era Group close its positions in advance to avoid Lin Zuhui's ability to be too amazing.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Not bad. It looks like we can save 100 billion Hong Kong dollars this year."

Now he has to start focusing on cash flow.The world has changed a lot. Just because the business is doing well today, I can’t just do this kind of business. If there is sufficient cash flow, I can have extra cash and can enter other industries at any time.

Development without forgetting stability, stability without forgetting development, this will be the strategy of New Era Group in the future.

Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "It must be more than that. The company not only returns profits, but also returns costs. According to the current real estate market, the cash in the account at the end of the year may be more than 120 billion."

To put it simply, the previous investment costs are also returned together with the profits, so the estimated annual profit of 150 billion is actually far more than the return of the funds.Of course, spending money is also very expensive. Now the land is often hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions, and the purchase of land is several billion a year.

Although the New Times Group invested 105 billion in the Canary Wharf project in the UK this year, the project was completed by issuing bonds and loans.

"It seems that I have to work hard to find a project!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

Liang Zhenxun responded: "This time the foreign exchange made a huge profit of 13.8 billion. If the French resort brand is acquired, it is almost equivalent to a project that the boss made for nothing for the company. And the three US stocks invested in are really very profitable. Momentum has issued two non-recurring dividends this year, as high as US$38 per share. The market value of our US stocks has reached US$7.5 million, and the book profit is US$3 million. Therefore, I think it should be given to the boss and Wang Dong (Wang Lingyin) Pay more robes."

His subordinates complained against Lin Zuhui. Although Lin Zuhui owns 49.5% of New Times Group's shares, if it is Lin Zuhui's job to run the company well, it is obviously not Lin Zuhui's job to make so many non-recurring profits, so he should be rewarded heavily.

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we've set up the chastity archway, so why bother?"

"Ok"

It is true that Liang Zhenxun's move will make Lin Zuhui feel good.Regardless of whether his thoughts are sincere or not, Lin Zuhui feels that he has every right to enjoy the annual fee of tens of millions.

Beginning in July, girlfriends beat boyfriends in Xiangjiang, because ATV's "My Sassy Girlfriend" began broadcasting in early July, which caused a huge response in Xiangjiang, and the ratings even broke records.

"My Sassy Girl" is a low-cost small production + sensational + youth idol, which combines the freshness and delicacy of Japanese idol dramas, the romantic feelings of European literary films, and the nonsense and funnyness of Hong Kong movies, and evolves into a sensational story.Its story is actually quite old-fashioned. It tells a "reunion" story about how a woman who just lost her boyfriend can get rid of her psychological shadow and regain her true love. The plot of the film is not complicated.The biggest feature of the film is the portrayal of a "Sassy Girlfriend" character that was rarely seen in previous films. "Women beat men" has also become the film's biggest gimmick.

At this time, the "Hong Kong TV Series" dominated by ATV has been completely accepted by audiences in Hong Kong, and even in the whole of Asia, and has gained a very large influence.The truth is actually very simple, Lin Zuhui plagiarized all classic 'Korean dramas', and summed up the style very well.

Lin Zuhui sometimes has an inexplicable sense of refreshment, because he can wipe out the future "Korean wave" all by himself, and slaughter a country by one person, which makes people feel so refreshed.

The point is, once the style is determined first, will the future Hallyu still appear?

If Xiangjiang's plagiarism is followed, wouldn't it become nondescript and ridiculed by others?

As for the current series, Lin Zuhui still has some in stock, but he plans to wait for the Internet age to talk about it; of course, maybe Xiangjiang's screenwriters can create better works, and he may not need to take them out.

What Lin Zuhui is most familiar with is not the drama series, but the Korean variety shows in his previous life. Since he likes to watch Korean variety shows repeatedly, he still has memories of almost many game plots.In other words, around the late 90s, Hong Kong variety shows will also start.

Why not do it now? The first is because there are not so many Hong Kong-style idols, and Hong Kong-style variety shows need Hong Kong-style idols; Otherwise there is no desired effect.

For example, the first Hong Kong-style variety show "X-MAN" was released in 1997 (in fact, there are also interviews and music shows), so it will take at least 2000 to release "Love Letter" and "Infinite Challenge", and there will be more in succession Published "The Birth of a Family" and "Runningman".

By then, the Internet will be able to see these Hong Kong variety shows.
