Hong Kong's new giants

23 Shi Xun Road.

Lin Zuhui, Li Jiaxin, and their sons Lin Wenhui and Lin Wenjia are having dinner together.

As Lin Zuhui's concubine, Li Jiaxin's two sons are naturally valued by Lin Zuhui, and they always use "Hui" and "Jia" when choosing their names.

The eldest son of the two, Lin Wenhui, has just graduated from a prestigious British university, majoring in accounting; the youngest son, Lin Wenjia, is studying at a prestigious British university and is a professional lawyer.

"Have you decided whether to start your own business or to help your mother take care of your business?" Lin Zuhui is not the kind of authoritarian father who respects his children's choices very much, except for the three direct children.

When Li Jiaxin heard this, she fixed her eyes on Lin Wenhui. It seemed that she had interfered forcefully.

This woman is really beautiful, she looks like Lin Wenhui's sister, a beautiful girl who is not more than 30 years old.

When Lin Wenhui saw Li Jiaxin's eyes, he quickly said firmly: "I choose to help my mother, thank you Baba!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Thank you for what?"

Lin Wenhui looked at his mother and said intentionally, "Thank you Baba for respecting my choice!"

Li Jiaxin immediately wanted to pull his son's ears, and immediately made Lin Wenhui beg for mercy.

"Brat, how dare you run on me! How dare you despise our business as a non-challenging business, saying that it's just collecting rent and speculating in stocks, and you're mad at me! You don't know how many big companies have less assets than ours!"

Although Lin Wenhui was grabbed by Li Jiaxin's ears, he didn't resist, but just begged for mercy: "Mom, I'm wrong, it's okay. Pain. Pain"

At this time, Lin Zuhui finally couldn't get used to it, and said: "Okay, how old is the child, and I don't know how to give him face!"

Li Jiaxin immediately let go, and said fiercely: "As long as he grows up, he is my son!"

Lin Zuhui didn't want to interfere with the way the mother and son get along, so he clicked on it.

However, from what Lin Wenhui said just now, he probably felt that Li Jiaxin's career was not challenging.

Then he said immediately: "Who told you that your mother's career is not challenging anymore?"

Lin Wenhui immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak. His father seemed to be doting on his brothers and sisters, but in fact his majesty was the most irreversible.

Lin Zuhui continued: "Your mother's company is a listed company anyway. If you learn the things in it, you will be considered a teacher."

In the second half of last year, Li Jiaxin packaged Sogo Department Store (including properties), THE ONE and other assets for listing, and she also took advantage of the opportunity to become the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, and a proper Hong Kong rich woman.

Lin Zuhui's idea is to use the IPO to accumulate a sum of money to purchase some properties, and the properties can be sold in 2017. Anyway, Li Jiaxin holds 75% of the shares, and the dividends are not bad.

"Yes, Father!"

night.

Li Jiaxin came to Lin Zuhui dressed sexy, and saw that she had specially put on black stockings today, seeing Lin Zuhui's eyes brighten, she was in a bad mood instead.

"Brother Hui, am I old?" Li Jiaxin said in a coquettish tone.

After finishing speaking, she sat on Lin Zuhui's lap and leaned on Lin Zuhui's arms.The spring light in front of her is extremely charming. She has been with Lin Zuhui for so long, and she is still one of Lin Zuhui's favorites.

To put it bluntly, Li Jiaxin is much prettier than her previous life, which is due to Lin Zuhui, the developer.

She can be noble and glamorous, but also charming and sexy. In Xiangjiang, she is the most concerned woman, receiving more media attention than those celebrities. Of course, Li Jiaxin has rarely been in contact with the media these years, so she has kept a low profile.But as long as any media shoots her, it will undoubtedly receive a lot of attention.

Lin Zuhui felt the elasticity and temperature of the black stockings on Li Jiaxin's thigh, and then looked at her hot body, he was already throbbing.

"why would you say so?"

"You didn't like me wearing black stockings before, but now when you see me wearing black stockings, your eyes light up!"

Lin Zuhui laughed dumbly, and then said: "You used to be a 20-year-old girl, but now you are a 30-year-old underpaid. This kind of change is inevitable, and it is also what I want. It is like, you and I are back together again. When we got to know each other, we already had a new relationship.”

Li Jiaxin felt very happy immediately, and said: "So, I will be spoiled for many years?"

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "You were the first to follow me, and your appearance is also the least likely to age. I think you must still be very attractive to me in 20 years."

Li Jiaxin suddenly said quietly: "Brother Hui, Sister Qingxia is 60 years old, do you have any discomfort? Although she looks like she is only in her 40s."

Lin Zuhui said with a somewhat excited expression: "I don't know what's going on, but your sister Qingxia is quite attractive to me."

"Change to T!"

"How do you talk, a woman? That's a good thing. You can continue to divert my energy so that I won't be so flirtatious. You think I want to be flirtatious. I just meet my needs."

"Hee hee, then I think it can still attract you for more than 20 years. How old is the grandson, it's a bit weird!"

"We can't have family affection, you woman!"

Li Jiaxin showed a seductive expression, and said slowly: "Is this the family?"

Lin Zuhui suddenly felt.
New Era Group.

"This year we just bought a pair of land for a luxury house, and all land purchases have been stopped now." Lu Xiangdong returned to Hong Kong from the mainland and made a work report to Lin Zuhui.

"Well, it's the right choice not to buy the land. How is the development progress of the land?"

"Our land reserves in the mainland are not high. We have been hoarding land, which is far inferior to other Hong Kong-owned real estate developers. In addition, since 2012, we have launched many projects. It is expected that around 2018, we will be able to Sell ​​more than [-]% of the development real estate."

Lin Zuhui breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, New Era Group's real estate projects in the Mainland, commercial real estate accounts for a larger proportion, especially the 22 "Central Plazas", which are all of high value.

However, almost all of these shopping centers are concentrated in very well-developed cities, so Lin Zuhui has no plans to sell them.After all, once it is sold, it is easy to arouse market public opinion.

In the past year or so, Li Chaoren has sold a lot of property assets in the Mainland and Xiangjiang. Now the media are saying that he is running away. It is expected that the official media article will still be written next year.

Lin Zuhui's idea is that after the official media articles are written, he will let the company sell some mainland commercial real estate. In the two years from 2016 to 2017, he will try to sell a commercial building worth about 300 billion yuan.

After all, he is not a young bird, so naturally he doesn't need to worry too much.As for the large-scale sale of commercial real estate, there is absolutely no need for it. The New Era Group has sufficient funds at all, and the economy will rise again, but the cycle may be longer.

After Lu Xiangdong left, Morris of Times Shipping also returned to Hong Kong to report to him.

"Currently, we are in communication with Ingram Micro International. It is estimated that this acquisition will take a long time because it involves anti-monopoly investigations in 11 countries." Morris reported earnestly.

Lin Zuhui said: "As long as the development committee in the mainland approves it, the acquisition will be successful. After the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, we will definitely strengthen our business in the mainland. Coupled with the current situation, I believe the development committee will agree. As for As long as you grasp the progress of the acquisition, it is almost the last large-scale acquisition of the New Times Group in recent years, so it is very important to have a perfect ending, and all aspects must be checked."

At present, the approximate price of Ingram Micro International is less than 50 billion U.S. dollars. Even if it is delayed until 2015, the price will be at most 50 billion U.S. dollars.

The purchase price is already 2013 to 25 times the profit in 30, and the price-earnings ratio is quite high. However, the management of Ingram Micro International also understands that its growth is good, and it will definitely not be sold at a low price.

"Ok, I see!"

After Morris left, Lin Zuhui fell into thinking.

After 2015, New Era Group will tighten its purse strings. After all, asset prices are really high and there is a risk of depreciation. There is absolutely no need to take risks, even for assets in Europe and the United States.

Of course, tightening the purse strings does not mean that small and medium-sized acquisitions will not be carried out.

If you earn more than 1200 billion Hong Kong dollars a year and spend 20% of the funds on multiple acquisitions, it is still possible.But it is more ideal to focus on Europe and the United States.

Time flies, and it is December in a blink of an eye.

California, Burbank.

Chen Haobei, the president of DreamWorks, and Thomas Tull, the founder of Legendary Pictures, sat in the office.

Legendary Pictures is only a second-rate Hollywood film company, and has always been mainly cooperating with the six major studios. Before 2013, it cooperated with Time Warner, and then switched to the embrace of Universal Pictures.

The reason why the two major studios are interested in Legendary Pictures is because they want to use the funds of Legendary Pictures.

DreamWorks had already contacted Thomas Tull in the first half of this year. During this period, Legendary Pictures suffered a lot of losses before finally winning.

During this period, Lin Zuhui has clearly told the management of the media group that he will abandon the acquisition of Legendary Pictures after 2015.

"President Thomas Tull, I hope you will support the three shooting plans we proposed! We hope to release "Joker" at the end of 2016, after all, it is a low-cost movie; "Familiar with the Universe" and "Detective Pikachu" we I hope that in 2017, business and investment will not be too large.”

Thomas Tull nodded, DreamWorks has some influence in Hollywood, representing Hong Kong movies; and Hong Kong movies, and even Hong Kong's entertainment culture, are very developed and very admirable.

So from the very beginning, he felt that if DreamWorks took over Legendary Pictures, not only would the funds be sufficient, but the communication between the two parties might also benefit Legendary Pictures.

This is the fact, DreamWorks quickly put forward three shooting plans, and among these three plans, except for "Detective Pikachu", DreamWorks did not give a script outline, after all, Pikachu is the representative of Xiangjiang comics; and the other two shooting plans , DreamWorks has given the shooting outline and direction, what the movie needs to tell people, and so on.

"Joker" is not an action film, but a literary film. There are only two possibilities, one is not popular at all, and the other is a box office hit.

As for "Joker" and "The Transient Universe" are small productions, DreamWorks also specially asked Legendary Pictures to shoot on vacation.

"No problem! You are now the capital of the company, and we are willing to cooperate!"

"It's not that serious! Our boss specifically said that Legendary Pictures will continue to be managed by you, and we won't interfere too much."

Thomas Tour said in surprise: "Mr. Lin Zuhui said this. I thought he didn't care about such trivial matters. You know, he is really too rich."

"Haha, Mr. Thomas is serious. Our boss likes cultural things very much, so he pays attention to movies, dramas, variety shows, and pop music."

"That's true! Otherwise, the media group would not become the largest cultural group in Asia, which is admirable."

The media group spent 32 billion US dollars to win the Hollywood "Legendary Films", which became the biggest news of this month.

For a while, the media was divided into two factions:
Some media believe that media groups can't handle Hollywood;

Some media believe that the media group's acquisition of Legendary Films is a clever move to lead Xiangjiang Culture to go global.

At the end of December, Times Shipping, a subsidiary of New Times Group, announced that it would spend US$12 billion to acquire Ingram Micro International, which is expected to be completed within three months. After the acquisition is completed, it will benefit the integration of resources of Times Logistics and generate greater synergy effect.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Because New Era Group's acquisition funds this year totaled more than 150 billion US dollars, which can be said to be another year of great development.

During this period, Lin Zuhui accepted the reporter's wealth.

Reporter: "Mr. Lin, most of the acquisitions of your companies this year took place in the United States. Is it because you are very optimistic about the economic prospects of the United States?"

Lin Zuhui: "As the world's largest economy, the United States has always been one of my priority areas for investment. What's more, as a global group, New Times Group will choose to invest as long as it has prospects and the region is stable. For example, it acquired in Southeast Asia last year. Quite a few, in short, globalization to earn more profits for shareholders.”

Reporter: "What about the investment in the Mainland? Cheung Kong sold its assets in the Mainland and Heung Kong and invested in Europe. What do you think?"

Lin Zuhui: "Commercial transactions are very normal, so there is no need to over-interpret them!"

Reporter: "Will you continue to invest in the mainland, or will you sell mainland assets?"

Lin Zuhui: "We have a lot of investments in the mainland. Whether it is the acquisition of Ingram Micro International or Legendary Pictures recently, we also consider the prospects of the mainland market. As for the sale of mainland assets, there is no plan at all."

After it was published in the newspaper the next day, the citizens of Xiangjiang discussed it a lot, and even Lin Zuhui was protested by a very small number of people.

After all, if you are interviewed at this time, you will definitely be asked some sensitive questions.

But Lin Zuhui is more inclined to the country. Of course, his real idea is to hope that Xiangjiang will develop steadily and not waste the efforts of these years.

This will also be Lin Zuhui's idea in the future!

Of course, he is a relatively gentle person, so he won't be angry or anything.

After all, he had enough money to spend, so he couldn't affect himself.
