Time flies, and the Spring Festival of 1991 passed in a blink of an eye.
This year, the Huiyuan villa complex on Nanwan Road welcomed the owner of the eighth villa. He originally didn't want to expand the organization. But when he met someone he was familiar with, he still couldn't control it. The key is that this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
If you give me something sweet, I won't let you touch it.
Forget it, if you can afford it, just take on more responsibilities!
In the villa complex, there are eight fairies and eight children, plus Lin Zuhui, and the Lin family has already grown to seventeen members without realizing it. Moreover, he has recently begun to create people, preparing to give birth to a second child, and preparing to give birth to a first child.
.
Not surprisingly, Lin Zuhui will have 12 children this year.
He now thinks clearly that according to the development of this situation, his future wealth may be several trillions, and his real wealth will rival the country. It is absolutely not safe to keep it all in the family office. He might as well share half of it with his sons in the future.
All are billionaires.
Therefore, the Lin family is not short of money, but it is short of people!
...
After the Spring Festival.
New Era Group officially released its performance announcement and announced its dividend plan.
For a moment, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shocked!
With a net profit of 8.05 billion, it surpassed HSBC and became the most profitable company in Hong Kong. However, many people have noticed that New Era Group's non-recurring profit last year was as high as 4.1 billion. Needless to say, it is a stock god 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 market soared by 3%. The small market drove the big market. But the more than 50,000 shareholders of New Era Group were all smiles, and each share
Not to mention the dividend of HK$1, the stock rose by 5%.
The market value of New Era Group rose to HK$58 billion (total share capital of 1.5 billion shares), making it the most eye-catching stock on the market for a while.
In the office, Lin Zuhui felt happy as he watched New Era Group's stocks soar.
Although he has not thought about cashing out, it does not prevent him from being happy because he has created value for shareholders.
As for the more than 700 million in dividends this time, he still has to repay it 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 left. Wang Qilin cashed out in 1989, and now it is estimated to be only about 1%; although Zheng Yutong did not cash out, he did not participate in the fund-raising due to multiple rights issues.
So there is only a little more than 1% left. However, he only invested 100 million back then, and now the return rate is seven to eight times, which is definitely a good deal.
The shares of New Era Group are relatively dispersed. There are no two shareholders or three shareholders, only Lin Zuhui is the major shareholder. At the beginning, many large institutions were afraid of Lin Zuhui's gambling-style investment and frequent rights issues to raise funds, so they did not choose to invest heavily. On the contrary,
Ordinary investors, because of their pursuit of Lin Zuhui, have bought shares of New Era Group.
Because of this, no shareholders holding more than 3% of the shares have yet been found.
"Dongdong" there was a knock on the door.
Assistant Li Ke walked in with Times Telecom President Lang Shiduo. As for the current situation, the heads of the telecommunications, retail, and port businesses all reported directly to Lin Zuhui. Of course, they were also supervised by 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 will not ignore it, he will also grasp the general direction.
Langshiduo sat on the sofa seriously, straightened his body, and did not taste the tea that Li Ke poured for him.
"Boss, we won the bid for the second-generation mobile phone CT2 license issued by the Hong Kong government!" Langshiduo said with a happy expression.
Lin Zuhui nodded. He was not too happy. The Hong Kong government offered four ct2 licenses at one time, but only seven consortiums bid for them.
Importantly, New Era Group is the owner of one of the three first-generation mobile phone licenses. In other words, in theory, the three first-generation mobile phone license holders will win the bid this time, and the remaining four consortiums will compete for one of the licenses.
.
"Which consortia won the bid for the rest?" Lin Zuhui asked curiously.
Langsdo said: "Hutchison Telecom's Tiandi Line (Hutchison Whampoa 90%, HSBC 10%), Hong Kong Diandian Telephone (Hong Kong Telecom 50%)
1%, Sun Hung Kai Industrial Fund 35%, Star Media 14.9%), Pacific Express’s Jingwei Station (First Pacific 45%, Chevalier Commercial International 45%, Jiaxun 10%)”
Seng Duo eats meat, but it's still a bit of a problem, so everyone formed a consortium to distribute four licenses.
The same is true for Times Communications, which gave up 30% of its shares to British Telecom.
In the small city of Xiangjiang, the competition in the telecommunications industry is very fierce. In later generations, only a few companies will have the last laugh. However, in reality, telecommunications in the countryside of Xiangjiang is not very good. Because it is a private company developing, costs must be considered.
Problems naturally cannot be taken care of.
This cannot be blamed on private telecommunications companies. The government license fees are high, which will eventually be passed on to consumers. In the previous life, the 3G license in Xiangjiang was the highest price in the world.
Lin Zuhui said: "The so-called second-generation phone uses telepoint technology to transmit information. It is different from cellular mobile phones. It can only make calls outdoors, but cannot receive calls. It can only be used with a pager to achieve mobile
The effect of the phone call.”
Langshiduo nodded and said: "It's really not convenient!"
Lin Zuhui continued: "So, we don't need to be aggressive and fight Hutchison Whampoa too hard. In a few years, maybe digital cellular phones will be released, and the price of digital phones will also drop. So.
, we must keep a close eye on technology in this area and adjust strategies in a timely manner."
Langshiduo was a little surprised. This boss really knew everything!
"Okay, I will control it!"
Lin Zuhui nodded!
In fact, Xiangjiang’s CT2 business does not require much investment every year. It is estimated that it will be less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars a year. It is completely incomparable with the UK’s CT2 investment, which consumes 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars a year (accounting for 7% of the shares).
become).
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Calculated in this way, New Era Group needs to waste 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars every year.
But it is completely acceptable. Most of the loans are anyway, and the interest rates are not high. By the mid-1990s, New Era Group will be able to make a profit of 10 to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars a year, so why worry about that little money.
As for telecommunications returns, we have to wait until the 21st century.
...........
When Lin Zuhui came to the News Building, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Wanhui Media's net profit last year was as high as HK$520 million, but he was not too happy at all because the company had exhausted its potential.
Newspapers and magazines contributed HK$160 million in net profit last year, comics contributed HK$220 million in net profit last year, property net profit was HK$80 million, and Ming Pao Group paid dividends of HK$60 million.
Currently, Wanhui Media owns properties worth more than 1.2 billion, but it still has an installment loan of HK$600 million.
After the sharp decline in 1989, Wanhui Media bought an office building worth 1 billion (with a loan of 700 million). The current appreciation is limited, and the value is expected to skyrocket next year.
When he came to his office, although it was clean, he rarely came to this company anymore.
While drinking tea, Lin Zuhui's mind kept running.
Wanhui Media can't continue like this. Although investing in properties can make money, with its own Hengjin Investment and New Era Group, Wanhui Media can't get its turn. We can't let all its companies come to the real estate industry.
In recent years, a "newspaper war" may break out, and newspapers' profits will suddenly become less. This also needs to be considered in advance.
He was wondering why the bubble crisis broke out in Japan after the 1990s. Why did Japan's economy not decline and per capita GDP actually increase? The losses were caused by the real estate and securities bubbles, but their economy regained new vitality.
The automobile industry is the focus of Japan’s economic explosion after the 1990s;
The electronics industry is also a focus of Japan's economic explosion after the 1990s;
The comics industry, yes, the comics industry!
In the previous life, the value of the Japanese comics industry was 230 trillion yen, equivalent to about 2 trillion US dollars.
If part of Xiangjiang can be diverted, it will be enough for Xiangjiang's economy to take off.
Although the market in Xiangjiang is not as big as Japan, after years of running comics, Lin Zuhui discovered that as long as the work is good, he can still make a lot of money.
Moreover, the most profitable thing in the comics industry is not the publications, but the peripherals. As long as you create a good work, you can then cooperate with local publishing houses in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other places to promote it in the local market.
The profits from the publications are shared with local publishing houses, but most of the surrounding profits are in the hands of Wanhui Media.
When making comics, just copy Japanese comics!
Lin Zuhui looked a little excited. In fact, the plagiarism was just an idea, because he was not a cartoonist; he didn't need to care whether the creation was the same as his previous life, but as long as it was 50% good, he could make enough money.
Comics are booming in Hong Kong, it seems that he is ready to do something big!
But this time, he didn't need to make a big fanfare and let everyone participate.
Because Wanhui Media’s comic industry itself accounts for more than 70% of Hong Kong’s total.
Picking up the phone, Lin Zuhui called over three senior executives: Long Jingchang, Zhao Han, and Luo Bencheng. One was the president of Wanhui Media, the other was the God of Wealth of Wanhui Media, and the other was Wanhui Comics (which has been renamed, formerly Yulang Comics).
)'s president.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Lin Zuhui's office together.
"Boss!" The three of them greeted each other happily. They were happy to see their 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.
"The profit from comics last year was very good, reaching HK$220 million. This was almost the total output value of comics in Hong Kong before we took over Yulang Comics, and about 70% more. Even now, we account for more than 70% of Hong Kong Comics.
profit."
Hearing Lin Zuhui's praise, Luo Benzheng said flatteringly: "The "Slam Dunk" hand-picked by the boss is so popular in Japan. It's a pity that we gave too much of the profits to Japanese partners!"
"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, characters, etc. Even the appearance and characteristics of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Haruko and other characters, he can
Remember.
The profits generated in Japan are hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars every year, but Wanhui Media only gets a share of 50 to 80 million in annual profits, and the rest is swallowed up by partners. The value of the surrounding areas is not as much as Wanhui Media's share.
Therefore, publications in Japan just won’t work!
However, any country does not allow foreign publications to be published directly. They can only be published through the channels of local publishing houses. So, it is good to get some money!
Moreover, Wanhui Media did not develop peripheral value well and did not have the strength, so it got so little.
Lin Zuhui said: "So I regret it very much. Why did we do it in Japan? If we were in Hong Kong and distributed paper media through local publishing houses. And we enjoyed all the rights around comics, then we would get more than this profit!"
Everyone showed regretful expressions, and Luo Benzheng said: "Not bad!"
Lin Zuhui continued: "Did our comic book club in Japan cultivate some outstanding writers?"
Luo Bencheng nodded and said: "Well, because you said back then that you should absorb the technology of Japanese comics, the comics club there has always had a lot of people. In Hong Kong, the market has sent cartoonists to study and exchange, so in the past few years
There are also some excellent Japanese comic works appearing in Hong Kong!"
Japanese comics are just a style, and Korean comics in previous generations also have its shadow.
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Okay, you quickly set up a Japanese-style comic book club in Hong Kong, but remember to incorporate a little bit of our Chinese style to form a new genre. This comic book club should be large-scale, and invite Japanese writers to join.
Because I received two very good themes and will hand them over to you for creation later."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The three of them were suddenly pleasantly surprised, they were so familiar with this routine!
Luo Benzheng 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. You can poach people for me, I plan to invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to create an industry chain that will 'revitalize Hong Kong through comics'!"
For a moment, the three of them were shocked!
The boss's idea of "Hong Kong culture revitalizing Hong Kong" has set off a great trend in Hong Kong, and the literary and art circles have followed suit and jointly promoted it.
Lin Zuhui added: "Keep this secret! Because we are the comics that rule Hong Kong, there is no need for others to participate."
"OK!"
Long Jingchang mentioned at this time: "If the boss wants to develop the comic industry with all his strength, then we should also invest in comic peripherals, such as establishing animation production companies, toy factories, etc.!"
Lin Zuhui said: "Yes, we must dabble in these, and we must 'overtake in corners', directly invest heavily, poach talents from Japan, buy equipment, and even directly acquire Japanese animation companies and Hong Kong toy factories."
Everyone started to offer suggestions one after another!
Of course, the top priority is to set up a Japanese comic book club!
And he had to act quickly, because what Lin Zuhui planned to copy was "Detective Conan" and "Pokémon". However, he only had a brief memory of these two comics and could not provide much material. The appearance of Pikachu and Conan,
He did remember it very clearly.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he seizes the name, it will give the Japanese a headache. Not to mention, no matter how little memory he has, he can still remember the general theme, style, plot, etc.
"Pokémon" was originally a game by Nintendo, but now it wants to publish comics first because it cannot enter the game console industry. If Nintendo takes a fancy to it in the future, it can buy the copyright.
And he also knows that "Pokémon" is actually already in the mind of the original author, but it has not been published. Of course, the original work may be just an idea now and does not have a complete outline.
Far from being as fast as Lin Zuhui, these two works may be auditioned in Hong Kong next year!
