Asia Pacific Financial Building, Hengjin Investment.
Lin Zuhui convened a core high-level meeting. There were nine people attending the meeting, five of whom were Chinese; not all of them were financial professionals, but some were accountants and auditors.
All the senior 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 made by the boss, the boss has never treated them badly. Every time they make a profit, they will be rewarded based on their merits, and more bonuses will be distributed to everyone at the end of the year.
Therefore, their salary is no lower than that of some elites on Wall Street, and their pressure is far less than that of the elites in Chinatown. This is because almost every large investment is made by Lin Zuhui himself.
Lin Zuhui looked at the information in his hand. This is US stock information compiled by Hengjin Investment. It mainly includes three aspects: information technology, health care, and finance. There are detailed information and analysis on hundreds of stocks.
According to Lin Zuhui's memory, these three fields were booming in the 1990s. Even if he bought them casually, he could make more than 4 times the profit (index increase) from now to the beginning of 2000.
What's more, he can still analyze many high-quality stocks such as information technology stocks, health care stocks, and financial stocks.
The growth rates of Microsoft and Oracle alone are more than 20 times. Of course, these two stocks have been almost bought.
Yahoo and Amazon have not yet started their businesses, but this does not prevent Lin Zuhui from making money from them, because these two companies were probably listed in 1996, and within four to five years, their market value may increase by dozens of times.
"I plan to use 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to invest in securities. Which stocks to buy? I have also read your analysis and then made a selection. The company can organize the purchase." After that, he handed the top-secret information to George.
George was also an old partner, and he 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 U.S. stocks, namely: Microsoft 2%, Starbucks 10%, and Nike 3.9%, with a market value of approximately US$700 million. This time, Lin Zuhui chose Hengjin Investment to undertake 10 billion, and also planned to share risks
measures, because the family office’s funds have almost reached 40 billion.
Of course, Lin Zuhui also plans to spin off the Hengjin Real Estate invested by Hengjin and put it into a trust fund in the future, entrusted to Octopus Bank, and the beneficiaries are Wang Lingyin and his two sons.
As for the wealth growth of other women, anyway, Lin Zuhui can now receive large amounts of dividends from listed companies every year, and can purchase assets and investments 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 your efforts and work hard."
"Yes, boss!" everyone said in unison.
There was a trace of joy on their faces. They knew that the boss had a family office competing with Hengjin Investment, so they did not expect that the 10 billion securities investment would fall on Hengjin Investment this time. After all, the more funds managed, the more money everyone has.
The bigger the salary and status, this is what everyone is happy to see.
In fact, Lin Zuhui is also balancing the strength of the family office (family, focusing on services) and Hengjin Investment (individual, focusing on investment); because he has too much wealth and too many family members, he does not want to put his wealth in one basket.
After arranging 10 billion in funds, Lin Zuhui estimated that he still had 5 billion in cash, so he continued: "Open up the investment channels for the Taiwan stock market and the Korean stock market 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.”
Investment in these two areas is casual, and not too much money will be invested. It is mainly for planning after the financial crisis. And even if you invest now, you can still make a lot of profits. For example, Hon Hai invested in Taiwan, and it is said that it invested 10 million in 1993.
(The current market value is about 4 to 5 billion), it can return 2 to 3 billion (including annual dividends), a return rate of several hundred times, which is simply profitable.
George said: "Korea Securities opened its 'direct investment channels' to foreign investment last year (1992). Taiwan is currently in the leading stage of QFII investment (qualified foreign institutional investors), and the government has dual restrictions on investment quotas and individual stock investment caps.
If our investment scale is small, neither area will be difficult."
Lin Zuhui nodded. He naturally knew that Taiwan had been opened to overseas Chinese in the 1980s, but it was indirect investment. Although South Korea has opened 'direct investment channels', foreign investment cannot exceed 7% of a stock, so they
In 1998, the Americans had to teach them a lesson and open up to 50% obediently, and then open up to 100% a few months later.
There is a funny thing, that is, in South Korea during the Asian financial crisis, the stock market once fell to 40%. Koreans found that foreign capital was still selling, and everyone shouted, "Why don't you come to buy the bottom?" But the foreign capital still ignored it and continued.
After selling, the Koreans saw that the price was still falling and quickly handed over their chips. Foreign investors did not buy the bottom. The Americans negotiated with South Korea and signed a series of unequal treaties, such as unlimited shareholdings and allowing foreign capital to acquire Korean companies (including
Hostile takeover), since then, Korean consortiums have replaced European and American major shareholders.
The key point here is that acquisitions by foreign capital are allowed, not acquisitions by European and American capital. By then, Lin Zuhui will also bring capital to acquire some Korean non-core assets, and there will be 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. I like to invest in diversified investments."
"Okay, we'll make arrangements as soon as possible."
After the meeting, Hengjin Investment started to run at high speed like a clockwork machine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, Lin Zuhui has always felt that his career only began after the Asian financial crisis.
But now, he is just in the stage of "building walls high, accumulating food widely, and slowly becoming king"; and money is by no means a cold number to him. He has so many wives and children to support, how can he not work hard to make money?
principle.
........
DreamWorks has made great moves in recent months, dismissing many film industry employees, which has attracted the attention of the entire film industry.
Some people say that without the two box office guarantees of Chow Sing-chi and Li Lianjie, DreamWorks has become unworthy of its name; coupled with the decline of martial arts movies in Hong Kong in the past two years (Hong Kong movies are also in decline, few people can observe), DreamWorks
Disbandment is also reasonable.
Then again, ATV Group is so profitable, it is reasonable to withdraw from the unprofitable film field. Therefore, not many people are gloating about the misfortune. After all, DreamWorks has made more than 500 million for Lin Zuhui, relying on the discovery of Zhou Yunhua, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Lianjie
, DreamWorks has dominated the Hong Kong film industry for five years, and even Golden Harvest dared not test its edge.
What's more, who in Hong Kong doesn't know that DreamWorks is just a "pickup toy" for Lin Zuhui. It is said that it was a company founded to pursue Wang Zuxian.
In this way, it has dominated Hong Kong for five years. Who dares to say that DreamWorks is not successful!
Pan Cheng came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, DreamWorks has completed its reorganization, please give your instructions!"
It turned out that all this was arranged by Lin Zuhui. He wanted DreamWorks to be reborn from the ashes, so many employees were dismissed.
Lin Zuhui asked: "How much does it cost to shoot a movie in Hong Kong? Tell me!"
Pan Cheng felt a little helpless. His boss had been running a film company for so many years and had almost never 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 success.
The main credit for his brilliant achievements is his boss. Of course, only two people know about this.
Because of this, Jiahe has never stopped trying to poach Pan Cheng, and instead of poaching people with high salaries, Jiahe encourages Pan Cheng to set up a film company and cooperate with Jiahe.
Pan Cheng was naturally dismissive. Not to mention that he knew that without his boss, he would not be able to produce good movies. Even with his annual dividends and salary from DreamWorks, he did not need to rely on Golden Harvest when investing in film companies.
"Okay...Investment costs have increased in recent years, and there are many Hong Kong movies costing tens of millions every year."
Lin Zuhui immediately asked: "The top ten in the Hong Kong box office list can be on the list with more than 20 million, right? Are you not afraid of losing money?"
Pan Cheng said with a smile: "Everyone is ambitious and wants to make a lot of money from overseas, so the investment is huge. For example, Cheng Long's "Eagle Project" invested US$15 million in the past two years, and the box office of Xiangjiang was only 39 million, half the cost.
He didn't take it back, he just wanted to break into Hollywood. Hong Kong movies are still very brilliant in Asia, and the domestic box office of Hong Kong movies is only 70-80% of the overseas box office."
Xiangjiang Movie is still from NB, and its overseas box office exceeds the local box office by a lot, which shows that it is still No. 1 in the whole of Asia.
Lin Zuhui suddenly realized that in addition to the box office, there is also disc copyright, which is also a large part of the income; however, it is estimated that the income from disc copyright will plummet, because copycat VCDs have begun to become rampant, and collective protests broke out in the entertainment industry in the past life.
"With such a big investment, a lot of people will 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 18 million in filming, but only recovered less than 2 million. All his life savings are gone. Luo Wei's film will go bankrupt soon. Still.
Andy Lau spent 40 million to invest in a movie this year, and Maggie Cheung spent 4 million for two days of acting. Looking at it now, she has to sell herself for several years at a loss."
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "We have been invited by Andy Lau and we are going to make a big-investment commercial film."
Pan Cheng said excitedly: "No problem!"
He had blind worship for his boss. The boss said he wanted to create a Hollywood imitation, which might be more profitable than some Hollywood movies.
In fact, Lin Zuhui also has no confidence. What if he doesn't adapt to the climate?
However, no matter what, he has decided on this b!
Therefore, Lin Zuhui took out a piece of information and handed it to Pan Cheng and said: "This is the outline material of our big-budget movie. It is a science fiction and suspense production, and it is also a series of movies."
When Pan Chengcheng heard about the movie series, his eyes lit up, this is a money-making tool.
Pan Cheng couldn't help but read it immediately. He was very familiar with his business and knew Hollywood very well, so he couldn't be unfamiliar with his business.
"resident Evil"
Umbrella Corporation...Hive...Red Queen...Zombies (this word will not appear in the movie)...
Lin Zuhui smiled and said:
"We are looking for talented people to re-write the plot, but since we are going to be a 'Hollywood copycat', we naturally have to learn from their style. The plot should be mindless, and the fights should be simple, refreshing, and shocking. The heroine should be beautiful, sexy, and the best.
We cultivated it ourselves, and we must have the ability to shoot action movies. Andy Lau is very popular in Taiwan and South Korea, and he can play an important role."
"Before filming, the leading actors have to undergo military training for three weeks... There are also some details that are marked, so you should pay attention to them."
Pan Cheng listened carefully, fearing that he would miss it, and then said: "Three weeks of military training will increase the cost. However, there is no need to use a big name for the heroine. Liu Dehua is worth a lot. How much budget does the boss plan?"
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "You can do whatever you want. This movie is a key movie for our Phoenix Nirvana. It takes a long time to prepare and requires a large investment scale. It is inevitable. Cheng Long can invest 15 million US dollars, so can we. We don't need to make a profit."
How much, as long as you don't lose any money. If this result is achieved, it means that 'copying Hollywood' is a good idea."
Pan Cheng was shocked and said: "The investment of 15 million US dollars is really too big. Even if the Hong Kong box office is 40 million Hong Kong dollars and the overseas box office is 60 million, plus other income, I am afraid that I will still lose 40 to 50%. After all, Andy Lau does not have Hollywood.
strength."
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "15 million is just the maximum budget, and it is estimated that it will not be used that much. Besides, this movie has other copyrights, and I plan to make it into a game, which is worth far more than 10 to 15 million US dollars. You can tell me the specific cost.
Let's see if we can save some money."
Originally, the previous Resident Evil was a movie adapted from the 1996 Japanese game, so this IP would not lose money no matter what.
"I know, I must have assembled a good team and learned Hollywood's special effects and computer technology to complete this work."
Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Remember, we may only make two or three movies a year now, but they must be the movies with the largest investment in Hong Kong. Otherwise, I, the DreamWorks Film Company, will make people laugh."
