Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the first working day after the new year.
Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin also came to the Central Plaza, the headquarters of New Era Group, on time. Every year, the couple distributes red chips here. Wang Lingyin is also the management of New Era Group, and she is also a director of New Era Group.
There are nearly 1,000 employees of New Era Group here at the headquarters. They are all high-income earners in Xiangjiang, which is equivalent to a central organization.
Employees engaged in real estate and finance in Hong Kong earn a monthly salary of HK$20,000 to HK$60,000. They wear suits worth HK$1,000, belts worth HK$5,000, leather shoes worth HK$3,000, and glasses worth HK$2,000.
Ten thousand yuan is just one month's salary to wear on my body.
Of course, the general wages in Xiangjiang are not that high. According to statistics at the end of last year, the average salary for manufacturing workers is 7,800 yuan, for hotel and restaurant workers it is 7,500 yuan, for employees in the transportation/warehousing/communications industry, it is 12,000 yuan, and for college graduates it is 12,000 yuan.
"Boss, Mrs. Lin, happy New Year!"
"Okay, take the gift, my wife wrapped it herself!"
"Thank you boss, Mrs. Lin. Congratulations to the boss for making a fortune, and Mrs. Lin will stay young forever!"
"Same hair, same hair!"
Lin Zuhui and his wife were distributing New Year's red packets on each floor. Every employee they saw had a HKD 200 red packet, which was quite a big bonus.
Employees who have not seen it will not miss it. Assistant Li Ke will give a portion to the management at this level and then ask them to send it to the employees who missed it.
Lin Zuhui also distributed the goods in person and exchanged a few words with people. He has a good memory and knows hundreds of employees, which is amazing.
"Ah Hao, you are getting more and more energetic. Work hard and strive for a salary increase and promotion!" Lin Zuhui said to a young man. He graduated from the University of Hong Kong and has been working for a year.
Ah Hao suddenly felt smoke coming from his ancestral graves. He didn't expect that his boss would still remember him, so he was flattered and said quickly: "Thank you for your encouragement, boss. I will definitely work hard."
This is what Lin Zuhui wanted - to show off. He patted the young man's shoulder and looked at the 'fat beauty' who squeezed in.
"Xiaoya, you will be plump again after the new year, so be careful!"
"Yes, boss, I will definitely pay attention to my figure and learn from my wife."
"It doesn't matter. You can do more at work and just exercise, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Everyone laughed.
Xiaoya blushed, but not to be outdone, she said: "I listen to the boss!" This seemed to be telling her colleagues that she was an 'acquaintance' of the boss.
Lin Zuhui smiled and chatted with some staff. Today is the only day of the year when he is more 'free'.
New Era Group has many beautiful employees, but Lin Zuhui cannot remember any of their names. Naturally, he will not have any scandals in the company.
Wang Lingyin also has a certain prestige in the company. She is beautiful and has a good temperament. She is in charge of the company's charity department; if employees are in difficulty, she is the "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva" who comes to the rescue and embodies the company's humanistic care.
After walking through the floors of the office building, Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin came to his office.
Wang Lingyin looked at the office and said, "Brother Hui, why don't you get a rest room so you can take a rest at noon."
Lin Zuhui welcomed her to his office chair, sat on his desk, and said to her: "I don't want it on purpose, I don't like to take a break at noon!"
The working habits of Hong Kong tycoons vary:
Li Chaoren is the most diligent. He gets up at five or six o'clock, goes to work after playing golf, and arrives at the company on time at eight o'clock;
Zheng Yutong is the 'laziest', maybe at ten o'clock, maybe at twelve o'clock. In his words, as long as he goes to the company, he can achieve the effect he wants;
Lee Shau Kee is the most 'weird', he likes to start working at two o'clock in the afternoon until the early morning of the next day;
Lin Zuhui is the most "standard" person. He goes to and from get off work just like the other employees and does relatively little overtime.
Wang Lingyin looked at Lin Zuhui and smiled. Of course she knew why Lin Zuhui didn't take a break at noon, because he wanted to accompany them to have lunch and go shopping. Of course, she was also a beneficiary. Sometimes she was invited by Lin Zuhui to have lunch together, and then or go
Go shopping or go exercise.
Sometimes, Lin Zuhui would entertain guests during his lunch break, so he didn't deserve a lunch break.
Then, Lin Zuhui said: "This year you will officially start work at New Era Group. The most important thing is to be familiar with the company's affairs. You can take care of the specific work!"
Although Wang Lingyin graduated from the University of Hong Kong, it was actually equivalent to a "work-study" program. She started having a baby in her sophomore year and missed a lot of classes. However, she was good at studying and could pass the exam, so the University of Hong Kong gave her a graduation certificate.
Proof. Of course, for Lin Zuhui’s sake, who made Lin Zuhui the ‘financier father’!
"Where are the two little guys at home?" Wang Lingyin said hesitantly. She also wanted to participate in more work, but she was worried about her two sons.
"There's nothing to be afraid of when you have a nanny! You don't have too many work schedules. You work five or six hours a day, and have weekends off. You're just a normal working woman, with or without children. Of course, I respect your choice!"
Wang Lingyin immediately said: "I listen to you!" In fact, of course she wanted to go to work, especially to establish a certain influence in the New Era Group. This was also Lin Zuhui's idea, just in case.
After making an appointment to eat out together at noon, Wang Lingyin returned to his office. The office was more like a booth, with a small area and a glass partition wall.
After a while, Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office.
The senior executives of New Era Group all have a characteristic, that is, they are relatively young, basically around forty years old. Theoretically, they can still work for more than 15 years.
Lin Zuhui said: "Olympia York Company still declared bankruptcy this month. Richman is preparing to redeem the London's Canary Wharf project and plans to invite us to become shareholders. So I plan to invest 60% of the equity, which will cost about 900 million pounds.
(US$1.35 billion, HK$10.5 billion).”
Liang Zhenxun was surprised and said: "So much investment? That project still needs capital injection, right?"
Lin Zuhui said: "There is no need for capital injection, and it will be solved with loans in the future! The prospects of this project are very good, and it is the best channel for us to enter European commercial real estate."
Liang Zhenxun nodded. He never doubted his boss's investment vision.
To put it bluntly, we are buying the bottom right now!
As for whether it is the bottom line, the boss has the most say on this point.
"The company also invested in Diamond Mountain King in February, which is estimated to be more than 3 billion. It is estimated that there is only 4 billion left in the account. It can only issue convertible bonds recently, but the Hang Seng Index has recently fallen back to 6,000 points.
Now, the market is not particularly good."
After hearing this, Lin Zuhui thought for a while and said: "Others can't issue convertible bonds at this time, but it doesn't mean that we can't. The popularity of New Era Group is not comparable to those companies, so you should communicate with Peregrine
, directly issue 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in bonds. Of course, I personally subscribe for 2.5 billion, so that you will have no pressure."
After listening to this, Liang Zhenxun immediately said: "Of course there is no problem! It's time for the annual report again in March. How does the boss plan to pay dividends?"
Lin Zuhui said: "According to last year's dividend payment (1.5 billion), our company will invest heavily, and the dividend can only be like this!"
"OK"
New Era Group's assets are several times that of Henderson, but its dividend payment is similar. If it were replaced by another mastermind, investors would definitely be disappointed.
However, Lin Zuhui is different. He has a strong personal charm, and the projects he invests in overseas are indeed "cheap", so the dividend ratio is small, which will also increase the stock price.
New Era Group has an advantage, that is, it can achieve relatively transparent finances. For example, the income from investing in U.S. stocks is reported from time to time. In this way, investors know that New Era Group's overseas investments are very smooth.
However, this is not an option. Lin Zuhui is worried about how much money he has and how much money he will spend. If the property above the airport railway station is put up for bidding and New Era Group does not have enough cash, it will not be a good thing.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
So, he thought about it and said to Liang Zhenxun: "Take out 500 million Hong Kong dollars to buy gold futures and add 20 times leverage."
When he was inspecting Manhattan in the United States some time ago, he remembered that this summer (1993), a terrorist attack occurred in the parking lot of the Times Trade Center in Manhattan, which had a huge impact. The outbreak of such an incident usually causes gold to skyrocket.
So this summer, gold must rise to more than $400 an ounce, while it is currently only $330 an ounce.
Liang Zhenxun knew that his boss was raising money for the company again, so he said, "Well, I'll buy it right away."
500 million is just a gamble.
In fact, Lin Zuhui made a rough estimate. This year, New Era Group may have a net profit of more than 14 billion. With an additional 5 billion raised, last year's balance was 6 billion, and the annual expenditures could be as high as about 26 billion. (This is only a rough estimate, and there is still time to recover.
The principal is far more than this amount)
Calculated in this way, after investing in Diamond Hill King (estimated at 3.5 billion), London Canary Wharf (estimated at 10.5 billion), mainland China spending 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Hong Kong investment spending, it is estimated that there will be less than 10 billion in cash flow left.
.
Completely worry-free.
However, Lin Zuhui likes to live a rich life, so it is safer to make more than a billion in gold for the company.
Of course, it is also possible to lose money, who knows if there is a 5% fluctuation!
A loss is a loss, and no one dares to say anything wrong with Lin Zuhui.
