At noon, he and Guan Jiahui had dinner at Furama Hotel, their home store.
The Furama Hotel's current occupancy rate is around 90%, its annual profit is around HK$120 million, and its return rate is only about 60% of that of an office building. Therefore, it is only reasonable that after the millennium, office buildings will have to be demolished and rebuilt.
Of course, the Lin family cannot live without a five-star hotel in Central, which would be very inconvenient.
There are at least two five-star hotels above the Airport Railway Central Terminal, so Lam Cho-fai is not worried.
In the late 1980s, a type of five-star hotel appeared in Hong Kong, which occupied only part of the floor of a skyscraper, such as the two five-star hotels in Pacific Center in Admiralty. The advantage of this type of five-star hotel is that
"High", the view from the room is very good. Of course, this is also related to the huge amount of land in Hong Kong Central.
Lin Zuhui and Guan Jiahui were dining in the hotel restaurant. Guan Jiahui's eyes and behavior were all expressions of adoration and admiration for her man, so much so that Lin Zuhui took it for granted.
"Monica asked me to go to Italy to play, and I happened to be on a business trip to Europe again!" Guan Jiahui blinked her big eyes, and her beautiful eyebrows moved very smartly.
Monica also came to Xiangjiang last month to deliver artillery. Lin Zuhui asked Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin to take her to visit Xiangjiang. It seems that the comradeship has been established.
"Then go," Lin Zuhui said.
These women all like to travel and go abroad at least ten times a year.
Like Wang Zuxian, she recently took her children to Canada for a vacation to get together with her parents.
Then, Lin Zuhui told about the villa No. 35 in Deep Water Bay, and Guan Jiahui was suddenly full of surprises. However, when she heard that the price was about 200 million, Guan Jiahui suddenly clicked her tongue. This investment is so big.
"Nowadays, banks have tightened mortgage mortgages for luxury homes worth more than 4 million, so even if it is calculated as 250 million Hong Kong dollars, the down payment would still be at least 40% - 100 million. I have no money, husband!"
In the first half of the year, the price of luxury homes rose sharply, which also led to the rise of ordinary residential properties. Therefore, the Hong Kong government took action and asked banks to tighten mortgages for luxury homes worth more than 4 million yuan.
Seeing Guan Jiahui acting coquettishly like a little girl, Lin Zuhui didn't get goosebumps. The two were still passionately in love. While this woman was acting coquettishly, her money-loving nature was also very cute.
"How much down payment can you raise?"
"Fifty million! Unless those ordinary houses are sold, I can buy them with the full price."
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "I will lend you 60 million, and you can buy it with a loan first. As for when the ordinary house will be sold, I will arrange it for you later!"
Guan Jiahui continued to pretend to be poor: "Once the ordinary house is sold, I will have to pay a lot less rent. By then, the residential mortgages in Singapore and Thailand will be so heavy that I can't breathe."
Lin Zuhui said calmly: "We will arrange more for you next year, so why are you anxious?"
Guan Jiahui suddenly smiled charmingly, extremely elegantly, as if she was talking about romance, rather than something full of copper odor.
In her opinion, it has been 100 million for two consecutive years (invested in Microsoft). If there are more arrangements next year, it may be 150 million, so she is happy.
Lin Zuhui couldn't bear it, and said to Guan Jiahui: "I will lend you 100 million, and you will use another 50 million to buy shares of Henderson Land."
Lin Zuhui is 100% sure about buying Henderson shares.
First, the market will rise by another 40%. It is currently over 7,300 points and will reach over 11,000 points by the end of the year, soaring over 100% throughout the year.
Second, the market value of Henderson Land is just over 35 billion, which is far lower than the net asset value (at least 90 billion net worth). Henderson's market value is low for a long time. In the case of no dividends or less dividends and no revaluation of assets,
, it is difficult for investors to favor it.
Third, Hengjin is about to release its annual report (its profits rose by at least 50% in 1992/1993). Lee Shau Kee will definitely increase the market value (pay high dividends, revalue assets) when the stock market surges, and then issue rights issues.
Raise funds, issue bonds, raise large amounts of funds.
Based on these reasons, Hengjin Real Estate's stock will increase by more than 100% in the next four months.
close
Jiahui's eyes lit up, and she understood that this was a trick for her, and immediately said: "Thank you, husband! Don't worry, I will pay you back the 100 million after you make money; and I will never say anything about buying Henderson Land shares."
, you told me."
He is also a little clever, and if he really dares to leak it out, Lin Zuhui will not be able to open such a small stove in the future.
However, Lin Zuhui still said calmly: "I never said it, it is your own decision! You must pay me back the money you borrowed as soon as possible."
Guan Jiahui gave Lin Zuhui a charming look. She knew that Lin Zuhui was not unwilling to give up 100 million, but was worried about causing family conflicts.
"Well, you dare to mess around with me!"
Three days later, Guan Jiahui's investment company bought No. 35 Deep Water Bay for 265 million. Reporters heard the news, but this time the transaction was relatively confidential, and it was Guan Jiahui's investment company that purchased it, so the reporters returned without success.
.........
In early August, Hengjin Investment's foreign exchange position was successfully closed, making a profit of 5.6 billion and withdrawing 7.1 billion of funds;
At the same time, Octopus Bank's gold spot position was also closed, with a profit of HK$1.6 billion, which was less than expected. That was because London gold fell rapidly after rising to US$409 per ounce.
As for the closing of spot positions, Xiangjiang's market is not large, with a daily trading volume of only three or four tons.
The daily trading volume of three to four tons does not mean that there is that much gold. Many gold bars are traded repeatedly, so it is really difficult to close the spot position. But fortunately, Octopus Bank's cost is low, even if it falls, it can still make a profit.
Not cheap.
Due to Octopus Bank's massive shipments, gold spot prices in Xiangjiang were much lower than London gold prices, causing a lot of commotion.
But, who cares!
Octopus Bank's "accumulated losses" have been reduced to HK$2.1 billion (when it was taken over, the two banks had accumulated losses of more than HK$5 billion), and it is expected to turn all losses into profits in 1994, which is enough to shock the industry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, according to market commentators and experts, Octopus Bank needed to smooth out its accumulated losses in 1997. This was because of Lin Zuhui's good reputation.
In fact, these people have completely undermined Lin Zuhui's strength and credibility. Octopus Bank's deposits have been rising steadily, and its loan business is also doing well. Even without this investment in gold spot, Octopus Bank would have turned losses into profits in 1996.
.
At this time, Octopus Bank's revenue and net profit, if calculated as a listed company, should be able to rank among blue chip stocks.
After a brief inspection of Octopus Bank, Lin Zuhui handed over the matter to the management. It is not the time to "spare money" yet; to be a bank, you must have credibility, and credibility is accumulated over a long period of time, so Octopus Bank is still proceeding step by step.
development of.
........
DreamWorks.
Lin Zuhui, who has not been to DreamWorks for a long time, always takes the time to visit recently to check the preparation progress of "Resident Evil"; DreamWorks is equivalent to transformation, and will strive towards the benchmark of Hong Kong movies in the future, and may only shoot one or two movies a year.
A quality movie.
If it is a good film, it will never lose money; to give a simple example, Li Lianjie's previous life filming "Fist of Fury", the box office in Hong Kong was only 15 million Hong Kong dollars, but it sold DVDs and Blu-rays in Europe and the United States, with sales of 16 million US dollars.
.
Therefore, the income of a movie comes from multiple channels; as long as it is a good work, it does not mean making money, but there is still no problem in maintaining capital.
Lin Zuhui looked at the manuscript in his hand and said, "The script is almost done. I'm quite satisfied. Has the budget been released?"
Pan Cheng immediately said: "According to your request, it is estimated to be 12 million US dollars. I don't have an exact budget yet, but it won't be too different."
That's about it. The first "Resident Evil" in Hollywood in the previous life was only about 40 million U.S. dollars. But that was the 21st century, and coupled with the high wages in the United States, now it costs 12 million U.S. dollars to shoot, and it's still 77 or 88.
However, Lin Zuhui still said: "If the filming is better, it doesn't matter if the budget exceeds the budget. After all, it is our first transformational film. I am not afraid of losing money, but I am afraid of being embarrassed."
Pan Cheng nodded and said, "Well, as for the props and special effects, we also invited an American team to serve as consultants, which will definitely change the bad impression of science fiction movies in Hong Kong."
Lin Zuhui asked again: "How much money is left in the account and is it sufficient?"
Pan Cheng said: "We only have 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and we still have to apply to the group!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. With his greeting, the finance department would not say a word.
While the two were chatting, the assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Miss Yuan is here!"
Then, I saw Yuan Liangliang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, walking in with a complicated expression on her face.
Seeing that Pan Cheng was about to leave, Lin Zuhui signaled him not to leave yet and asked Yuan Liangliang to sit on the sofa.
"Manager Pan, what do you think of Ms. Yuan Liangliang as the heroine?"
Pan Cheng looked at it carefully and said, "Ms. Yuan's short hair does look good, and the overall image is good. I think it suits her very well."
Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll let her contact you later!"
"Okay, boss!"
After Pan Cheng left, Yuan Liangliang immediately said: "What heroine? Why don't you ask me what I mean?"
Lin Zuhui said casually: "Have you talked about a boyfriend?"
Yuan Liangliang hesitated, and then said after a moment: "Why do you ask this? No. Do you want me to come back to you?" After saying that, she looked at Lin Zuhui seriously, hoping that this man would ask her to get back together.
Lin Zuhui said: "Oh, I just asked!"
"You!" Yuan Liangliang said angrily in embarrassment.
Lin Zuhui smiled, he knew that Yuan Liangliang might have a boyfriend now, isn't it Zhang Zhiling!
After making a joke, Lin Zuhui said seriously: "Our company wants to shoot a big-budget movie, so we want you to be the heroine."
Yuan Liangliang suddenly became interested and asked: "What movie? How big is the production?"
Lin Zuhui said: "Promise me first and then talk!"
Yuan Liangliang suddenly said warily: "I don't even know what movie it is, how can I promise you, what if you..." She couldn't say the next words, after all, what did Lin Zuhui do to trick her.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "A science fiction film with an investment of 15 million US dollars may be released in Hollywood, and it will be a series of films. If it can achieve our expected results, you can enter Hollywood in the future."
If someone else had said this, Yuan Jingjing would have thought it was a liar, but when Lin Zuhui said it, she really believed it.
"So awesome! Of course I promise you, we have feelings for each other after all!"
Lin Zuhui's heart was shaken. Who is not a thief?
However, he continued: "It is an action science fiction film and requires a lot of suffering. I hope you can persevere."
Yuan Liangliang's facial expression suddenly hurt, but looking at Lin Zuhui, this man was very kind to her. He had been with her for more than half a year, and he had bought a mansion worth tens of millions and many valuable gifts, so she had a good impression of her, even if they were getting back together.
, it’s just a matter of this man’s words.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Lin Zuhui asked curiously: "You don't want to ask about the salary?"
"You're not short of money"
Makes sense!
At this time, Lin Zuhui looked at Yuan Jingliang and thought of the past. He had never looked back. But he suddenly thought of Alice's bonus, and he felt a little restless.
Why should a Hollywood actress who has been trained by herself take advantage of others?
When Yuan Liangliang saw Lin Zuhui looking at her, she immediately raised her head proudly. In her opinion, this man was much more attractive.
Lin Zuhui saw that Yuan Liangliang was interested, so he sat next to Yuan Liangliang and tentatively put his arms around her waist.
Comfortable, the Hong Kong girl is pretty good!
He gave the script of "Resident Evil" to Yuan Liangliang and said: "Let's take a look! This is really a big production. Maybe it can make you famous in Asia and even enter Hollywood!"
Yuan Liangliang
There is no doubt about her acting skills. She will win the Academy Award for Best Actress in "New Love", which will be released this year, becoming the youngest actress to do so. In her previous life, she also won the Academy Award for Best Actress with "Golden Leaves".
.
This script was so attractive to Yuan Liangliang that even Lin Zuhui put his hands into her clothes and she didn't even know it.
After a long time, Yuan Jingliang said shyly: "We are really back together, don't play tricks on me this time!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I want you to put your career first and stop falling in love, so our relationship is kept secret. I will support you to become the pinnacle of Chinese actresses. You and I will remain lovers, but don't make the whole city a storm."
." I added in my mind, find an honest man to marry in the future.
Yuan Liangliang nodded, she was very nostalgic for Lin Zuhui's strength and generous financial resources.
Next, Lin Zuhui became more and more excited, as if thinking of Alice's body, he pressed Yuan Liangliang on the sofa.
"Don't be here, you'll be in trouble if someone sees you!"
Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Don't worry, I almost never come to this office. It's impossible for the assistant to let people in."
"Woo"
What happened next became so intense that both of them were released.
That's how it happened. In fact, Lin Zuhui also considered this female character at the beginning. First of all, she had to be satisfied with short hair, and secondly, she had to be beautiful and young.
The reason why it is young is that if the film is successful, one film cannot be filmed every two years, and five films must be filmed in ten years.
