Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 513 [Can't make others laugh]

Asia Pacific Financial Building, Hengjin Investment.

Lin Zuhui convened a core high-level meeting. There were nine people attending the meeting, and Chinese accounted for five people; not all were financial professionals, but there were accounting and auditing.

All the high-level executives have relaxed expressions on their faces, because Hengjin Investment has recently made a lot of money in foreign exchange and gold.

Although these investment projects are all from the hands of the boss, the boss has never treated them badly. Every time they make a profit, they will be rewarded according to their merits. At the end of the year, they will distribute more bonuses to everyone.

Therefore, their salaries are not lower than those of some Wall Street elites, and the pressure is far less than that of Chinatown elites.Because almost every big investment is made by Lin Zuhui himself.

Lin Zuhui looked at the information in his hand. This is the US stock information compiled by Hengjin Investment. It mainly includes three aspects: information technology, healthcare, and finance. There are hundreds of stocks with detailed information and analysis.

According to Lin Zuhui's memory, these three fields rose in a mess in the 90s. He just bought casually. From now to the beginning of 2000, he can still earn more than 4 times the profit (exponential increase).

What's more, he can still analyze many high-quality stocks such as information technology stocks, health care stocks, and financial stocks.

The increase of Microsoft and Oracle alone is more than 20 times. Of course, these two stocks have almost been bought.

Yahoo and Amazon have not yet started their businesses, but this does not prevent Lin Zuhui from earning money, because these two companies were listed in 1996, and then in four or five years, the market value may increase by as much as dozens of times.

"I plan to use 100 billion Hong Kong dollars to invest in securities. I also read your analysis on which stocks to buy, and then make a selection. The company organizes the purchase." After finishing speaking, he handed the top-secret information to George.

George is also an old partner, and immediately said seriously: "No problem, BOSS. We will definitely use offshore companies and multiple accounts to minimize influence and maximize security."

Hengjin Investment currently holds three US stocks, namely: Microsoft 2%, Starbucks 10%, Nike 3.9%, and the market value is about 7 million US dollars.This time, Lin Zuhui chose Hengjin Investment to undertake 100 billion, which is also a measure to share risks, because the funds in the family office are almost 400 billion.

Of course, Lin Zuhui also planned to spin off Hengjin Real Estate invested by Hengjin, and put it into a trust fund in the future, entrusting it to Octopus Bank, and the beneficiaries were Wang Lingyin and his two sons.

As for the growth of other women's wealth, anyway, Lin Zuhui can now get a large amount of dividends from listed companies every year, and can buy assets and invest for them.

Lin Zuhui continued: "I will recruit new elite talents for Hengjin Investment and expand its scale. This company will be my key investment channel in the future, so I hope you will continue to work hard and work hard."

"Yes, boss!" Everyone said in unison.

There was a hint of joy on their faces. They knew that the boss had a family office that was competing with Hengjin Investment, so they didn't expect that the 100 billion securities investment would fall into Hengjin Investment's account this time.After all, the more funds managed, the greater the salary and status of everyone, which is what everyone likes to see.

In fact, Lin Zuhui is also balancing the strengths of the family office (family, emphasizing services) and Hengjin Investment (personal, emphasizing investment); because he has too much wealth and too many family members, he does not want to put wealth in one basket.

After arranging 100 billion funds, Lin Zuhui estimated that he still has 50 billion in cash, so he went on to say: "Get through the investment channels for the Taiwan and South Korean stock markets for me as soon as possible. I need to invest in the finance of these two regions, so you have to Set up offices in these places."

These two areas are casually invested and will not invest too much money, mainly for planning after the financial crisis.And even if you invest now, you can still make a lot of money. For example, investing in Taiwan's Hon Hai, it is said that in 1993, it invested 1000 million (the current market value is about 5 billion), and it can return 20 to 30 billion (including annual dividends). Double the rate of return, it's a dead end.

George said: "Korea Securities opened the 'direct investment channel' to foreign capital last year (1992). Taiwan Island is currently in the leading stage of QFII investment (Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors), and the government has double restrictions on investment quotas and individual stock investment caps. Neither area is difficult if we invest on a small scale.”

Lin Zuhui nodded. He naturally knew that Taiwan Island was opened to overseas Chinese in the 80s, but it was only an indirect investment.Although South Korea has opened up the 'direct investment channel', foreign capital cannot exceed 7% of a stock, so they have to be taught a lesson by the Americans in 1998, obediently let it go to 50%, and then open it to 100% a few months later. %.

There is a funny thing, that is, in South Korea during the Asian financial crisis, the stock market fell to 40% at one point, and Koreans found that foreign capital was still selling off one after another. Everyone shouted, "Why don't you come to buy the bottom", but the foreign capital still ignored it. The selling continued, and the Koreans saw that it was still falling, so they quickly handed over their bargaining chips. Foreign capital did not buy the bottom, so the Americans negotiated with South Korea and signed a series of unequal treaties, such as unlimited shareholding, allowing foreign capital to acquire Korean companies ( Including hostile takeovers), since then, Korean conglomerates have replaced major European and American shareholders.

Here is the key point, which is to allow foreign capital acquisitions, not to allow European and American capital acquisitions.At that time, Lin Zuhui will also bring capital to acquire some Korean non-core assets, and there is no problem in drinking soup.

"I don't invest too much in each stock. I don't like to invest in a stock with too much weight, and I like to diversify my investment."

"Okay, we will arrange it as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Hengjin Investment began to run at high speed like a clockwork machine.

In fact, Lin Zuhui always felt that his career started after the Asian financial crisis.

But now, he is just in the stage of 'building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly'; and money is definitely not a cold number for him. He has so many wives and children to support, why not work hard to make money reason.

DreamWorks has made great moves in recent months, disbanding many film practitioners, and causing the entire film industry to look sideways.

Some people say that without the two box office guarantees of Zhou Xingchi and Li Lianjie, DreamWorks has become unworthy of its name; Dissolution is also reasonable.

Then again, it is reasonable for the ATV Group to withdraw from the non-profitable film industry after making so much money.Therefore, not many people are gloating. After all, DreamWorks has earned more than 5 million yuan for Lin Zuhui. Relying on Chow Yun-hua, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Lianjie, DreamWorks has dominated the Xiangjiang film industry for five years, and even Golden Harvest dared not try its edge.

What's more, no one in Xiangjiang knows that DreamWorks is just a "girl-picking toy" of Lin Zuhui. It is said that the company was opened to chase after Wang Zuxian.

In this way, he also dominated Xiangjiang for five years. Who dares to say that DreamWorks is not successful!
Pan Cheng came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, the reorganization of DreamWorks has been completed, please give me instructions!"

It turned out that all of this was arranged by Lin Zuhui, who wanted DreamWorks to be reborn from the ashes, so many employees were dismissed.

Lin Zuhui asked: "What is the cost of Xiangjiang filming, please tell me!"

Pan Cheng felt a little 'helpless'. The boss had been running a film company for so many years, and he hardly ever worried about the company's affairs. He didn't even know some common sense in the Hong Kong film industry.It is conceivable that such a film company has achieved such brilliant results, and the main credit is still its own boss.Of course, only two of them knew about it.

Because of this, Golden Harvest has never stopped thinking of poaching Pan Cheng, and Golden Harvest did not poach people with high salaries, but encouraged Pan Cheng to set up a film company and cooperate with Golden Harvest.

Pan Cheng naturally dismissed it, not to mention that he knew that without the boss, he would not be able to produce good movies at all; even with his annual dividends and salary from DreamWorks, he did not need to rely on Golden Harvest to invest in the film company.

"Okay. The investment cost has risen in recent years, and there are many Hong Kong films costing tens of millions of dollars every year."

Lin Zuhui immediately asked: "The top ten box office charts in Xiangjiang, I'm afraid they can be on the list with more than 2000 million yuan? Are you not afraid of losing money?"

Pan Cheng said with a smile: "Everyone is ambitious and wants to make a fortune overseas, so the investment is huge. For example, Cheng Long's "Flying Eagle Project" invested 1500 million US dollars in the past two years, and the box office of Xiangjiang was only 3900 million, half of the cost. He didn’t take it back, he was trying to break into Hollywood. Xiangjiang movies are still very brilliant in Asia, and the local box office of Hong Kong movies is only [-]% to [-]% of the overseas box office.”

Xiangjiang Film is still NB, and its overseas box office has surpassed its domestic box office by a lot, which means it is still No.1 in Asia.

Lin Zuhui suddenly realized that in addition to the box office, there is also a large part of income from disc copyrights; however, it is estimated that the income from disc copyrights will plummet, because copycat VCDs have begun to rampant, and collective protests broke out in the entertainment industry in his previous life.

"With such a large investment, many people lose money, right?"

Pan Cheng nodded and said: "The martial arts films have suffered the worst losses in the past two years. Luo Wei invested 1800 million in filming, and only got back less than 200 million. His life savings are gone. Luo Wei's film will go bankrupt soon. Still There is Liu Dehua, who invested 4000 million yuan in movies this year, and Maggie Cheung will spend 400 million yuan for two days of acting, so looking at it now, it is too bad that he will have to sell himself for a few years."

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Invite Andy Lau, we want to shoot a big investment commercial film."

Pan Cheng said excitedly, "No problem!"

He has blind admiration for his boss. The boss said that he wants to copy Hollywood, which may be more profitable than some Hollywood movies.

In fact, Lin Zuhui also has no confidence, what if the water and the soil are not acclimatized?
However, no matter what, this B, he is set!

Therefore, Lin Zuhui took out a document and handed it to Pan Cheng, saying: "This is the outline material for our large-scale production movie. It is a sci-fi plus suspense production, and it is also a series of movies."

Hearing the series of movies, Pan Chengcheng's eyes lit up, this is a money-making tool.

Pan Cheng couldn't help but looked at it for the first time. He was very familiar with his business and knew Hollywood very well, so he would not be unfamiliar with the business.

"resident Evil"

Umbrella Company. Beehive Red Queen Zombie (this word will not appear in the movie)
Lin Zuhui said with a smile:

"Find someone to re-edit the plot, but since we are going to be a 'Hollywood copycat', we naturally have to learn from their style. The plot needs no brains, and the fighting should be simple, refreshing, and shocking. The heroine must be beautiful and sexy, and it is best for us. If you train yourself, you must have the ability to shoot action movies. Liu Dehua is very popular in Taiwan and South Korea, and he can play an important role."

"Before filming, several leading actors will have a military training for three weeks and there are some details, which are all marked, so pay attention."

Pan Cheng listened carefully, afraid of missing it, and then said: "Three weeks of militarized training will increase the cost. However, there is no need for the heroine to use a big name. Liu Dehua's social status is relatively high. How much does the boss plan to budget?"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "You can figure it out. This movie is the key movie for our Phoenix Nirvana. It takes a long time to prepare and a large investment scale. It is inevitable. Cheng Long can invest 1500 million US dollars, and we can do it. We don't need to make much money , as long as you don’t lose too much money. If this result is achieved, it means that ‘copying Hollywood’ is a good idea.”

Pan Cheng was taken aback, and said: "The investment of 1500 million US dollars is really too big. Even if the Hong Kong box office is 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the overseas box office is 6000 million, plus other income, I am afraid that it will lose [-]-[-]%. After all, Andy Lau does not have the strength of Hollywood. "

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "1500 million is just the highest budget, and it is estimated that it will not be that much. Besides, this movie has other copyrights. I plan to make it into a game, and its value is far more than 1000-1500 million US dollars. The specific cost is up to you." It’s okay to figure it out and save some money.”

Originally, the Resident Evil of the previous life was a movie adapted from a Japanese game in 1996, so this IP will not lose money anyway.

"I know, I must have formed a good team, and learned Hollywood's special effects and computer technology to complete this work."

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Remember, now we may only make two or three films a year, but it must be the film with the largest investment in Xiangjiang. Otherwise, my DreamWorks film company would make people laugh."

Pan Cheng nodded and said, "Yes!"
