In the past year, Lin Zuhui's wealth has increased significantly. His net worth is already 150 billion based on his apparent stock market wealth alone.
His position as the richest man should last for another two years.
If nothing else, Bill Gates only had the chance to reach the top in 1996.
The biggest contributor is, of course, New Era Group.
The Hang Seng Index closed at 12,100 points last year, and New Era Group's market value was as high as 218 billion, which was only 30 billion less than HSBC, which is very incredible.
In the eyes of professionals, the asset value of HSBC is much higher than that of New Era Group, which is not in the same order of magnitude at all.
However, New Era Group is popular among investors, and its profitability is indeed impressive. (It is expected to be HK$16 billion in 1993, and non-recurring profits will increase to HK$2 billion, excluding dividends and book appreciation from investments in U.S. stocks)
And Lam Cho-fai has deservedly become the number one chaebol in Hong Kong. The market value of the entire holding company is as high as 330 billion, accounting for 12.2% of the total market value. (HSBC is a non-family company, excluding the chaebol list. Otherwise, the market value of HSBC plus Hang Seng would still exceed that of Lam Cho-fai's entire holding company.
)
And Lin Zuhui’s hidden wealth also exceeds 100 billion. These assets are real cash flows; including funds invested in US stocks, they can be cashed out at any time without causing book depreciation.
Monday, January 3rd.
The work of the new year has officially started, and Lin Zuhui also arrived at New Era Group on time. Generally, as long as he is in Xiangjiang, he must arrive at the company office on time during working days.
Of course, as a boss, it is impossible for him to be in the office all the time, so he is often away from the company; he may be out with guests, or on inspections, or he may even be absent from work to go on a business trip.
In the morning, Lin Zuhui held a meeting with all senior executives.
The reorganization of Chinese Land has been completed. After all, it is just the reorganization of the group's subsidiaries, so it has not caused much commotion.
After the reorganization, New Era Commercial Management Co., Ltd. will uniformly manage its global rent-collecting properties. New Era Commercial Management has a total of four subsidiaries: Chinese Real Estate, Central Plaza Shopping Center, Fuli Real Estate Investment Management, and Amazon Shopping Center.
Lin Zuhui said: "Goldman Sachs has already identified a good acquisition company for us. Later, Gao Yi, you will lead the team to get started. Be sure to remember to keep everyone from the original management and employees as much as possible to avoid handovers.
Brain drain during this period.”
Goldman Sachs acted quickly and found a U.S. real estate company with 19 shopping malls for Amazon. The price was also ideal at over US$1 billion.
The problem now is that other people's shopping malls are running well, so we must not cause personnel turmoil during the acquisition, thus affecting development.
After Amazon's acquisition, all 19 shopping malls were not renovated at once, but in batches.
Gao Yi nodded and said: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely handle this matter. Amazon's management has also been recruited, and Goldman Sachs has also introduced us to president-level talents..."
Speaking of this, Lin Zuhui had to admire Goldman Sachs' attitude in doing things. They really think about their customers. In fact, they not only participated in acquisition issues, but also gave a lot of business advice and help.
Of course, there is no doubt about the strength of New Era Business Management. After all, it is a large commercial real estate company with rich management experience.
Lin Zuhui continued: "If it is an acquisition fund of HK$8 billion, how will the company pay it? It won't have much impact."
Liang Zhenxun immediately said: "After cashing out the shares in the Hong Kong stock market, we have almost 11 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. I suggest using 6 billion in cash and 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in loans to make acquisitions. In this way, the company still has enough cash.
, to cope with the expansion in the new year.”
The larger the company, the more control New Era Group has over its liabilities, which has become an unspoken rule.
Lin Zuhui adopted this suggestion!
Although there is only HK$5 billion left in the account, there are still about 3 to 5 months left before real estate profits roll in, which will bring huge cash flow to the company.
Of course, this does not mean that New Era Group's income will decrease a lot during the adjustment period. This is certainly impossible. After all, New Era Group also has to pay attention to "goods rotate". If the real estate market is not good, then it must also
The house is reduced in price, packaged, and put on sale.
Therefore, the housing interest in 1994 will definitely not be lower than that in 1993; and the housing interest in 1995 should be similar to the housing interest in 1994.
........
That night, at half past nine on ATV.
"I am He Jun"
"I served in the xxxx army"
"I've been to the top of Mount Everest"
"I also crossed the freezing white ice ocean"
"Now, this time my challenge is to enter one of the most dangerous areas in America alone."
"the Rocky Mountains"
"Every year, millions of people come here, but 2,000 people don't come out."
At 9:30 that night, ATV Chinese Channel officially broadcast "Survival in the Wilderness". This program has been promoted for half a month, and I believe it will attract a lot of people's interest.
ATV's "Wild Survival" program has attracted the attention of many citizens in Hong Kong.
In this incident, in the TV picture, He Jun was flying in a plane over the Rocky Mountains.
"The pilot may ask me to jump at any time."
“I don’t know where it landed.”
"I had no map, no extra clothes, no water, no food, not even a radio."
"My task is very simple, use all my strength within five days"
"Come out alive"
Then, He Jun climbed onto the side pole of the plane, released his hands, and performed a parachute jump.
Audience: "Damn, it's so exciting!"
Audience: "It's amazing. He Jun is flying in the air without opening his umbrella. Nothing will happen!"
Audience: "Produced by ATV, it must be a high-quality product. It seems that it is another big copyrighted program, the light of the Chinese!"
The viewers on the TV watched He Jun flipping in the air, and then flying and descending in the air at a very slow speed. They suddenly seemed to be facing it, and their hearts beat faster.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, the audience does not know how good the photographer was when he took this shot.
The cost of filming this program is also high. The production cost of one episode is several million Hong Kong dollars, and two episodes are almost the same as the cost of a 20-episode series.
Of course, advertisers love the new programs produced by ATV. The advertising fee for one episode of "Into the Wild" is more than 12 million; the advertising fee for the 12 episodes of the first season is 150 million.
He Jun was tumbling in the air, looking very cool, but soon made the audience nervous because he was hung on a tree.
"It hurts"
Narrator: "There is always danger when you jump into an unknown place!"
"I am still 18 meters above the ground. If I jump, I will definitely die."
The audience became worried and stared at the TV nervously.
"No way, the show ran into trouble in the first episode? Do we need to stop recording?"
For a time, the audience participated one after another.
Next, He Jun opened the parachute while explaining. Through the parachute, he was only 6 meters above the ground.
At this time, He Jun transformed into a popular science master and explained how to jump from this height to avoid physical damage.
This is a bit of knowledge!
Next, collect useful things, explain the dangers of the Rocky Mountains, and activate 'Ho's Taunt'...
That night, just one episode of "Survival in the Wild" opened up a new world to the citizens of Xiangjiang. It turns out that the program can still do this, and ATV is really invincible!
ATV is not only the best TV station for Chinese people in Hong Kong, but also regarded as the "light of Chinese people" by the citizens of Hong Kong. After all, cultural export is far more incredible than commodity export.
........
The next day.
Xiangjiang citizens are hotly discussing not only the stock market, but also ATV's "Survival in the Wild".
As Lin Zuhui's wealth has increased, his ambitions have also become larger and larger. One of his ambitions is to build Hong Kong into the "Entertainment Capital of the World", and all entertainment industries will be unprecedentedly developed.
A classic variety show can always have copyright income. The TV station’s adaptation rights and the Internet’s copyright can be said to be ‘with one version in hand, income is always available’.
The same is true for TV series and movies. Copyright fees can be collected in the Internet era, as well as DVD and Blu-ray copyrights, etc.
When talking about copyright, we have to mention the song "Happy Birthday to You". It has only 6 words and has collected copyright fees for nearly a hundred years; the copyright holding company was acquired by Warner Records in 1990 for US$15 million.
, the value of "Happy Birthday to You" has been estimated at US$5 million. Warner claims that it is illegal to perform the song in public without permission unless royalties are paid to them. It is estimated that Warner earns more than
2 million US dollars. This situation was not canceled by the US court until 2015.
Therefore, knowledge copyrights are really profitable. If ATV has the copyrights of dozens of variety shows, and they are adapted by various TV stations around the world, and various video companies around the world buy the broadcast rights, they are really making money on their own.
In the morning, Lin Zuhui took time to come to his security company’s training base.
Liu Dehua, Yuan Liangliang and other leading actors also came here to prepare for the ten-day special training. Among these leading actors, who is the most difficult to handle, of course it is Liu Dehua, who is now extremely popular.
However, the golden name of DreamWorks, coupled with the investment of US$15 million to "enter Hollywood blockbusters", was enough for Andy Lau to make up his mind and give it a try.
Seeing Lin Zuhui come to the scene in person, Liu Dehua, Yuan Liangliang and others were a little surprised. Can this elder still do it in person?
Looking at the artists on the playground, Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "You must be prepared to suffer, but don't quit midway!"
pressure!
Everyone felt that offending the boss was a terrible thing. If he offended Lin Zuhui, the godfather of the entertainment industry, his acting career would be ruined.
"Don't worry, Lin Sheng, we have signed a contract." Liu Dehua said immediately. He attaches great importance to his acting career and thinks this is a great opportunity. After all, DreamWorks has successively made celebrities such as Zhou Yunhua, Zhou Xingchi and Li Lianjie.
Box office guaranteed.
Lin Zuhui patted Andy on the shoulder and said: "This training was in Hong Kong and the United States, and we paid a lot for it. Of course, if you perform well, we will give you priority in future blockbusters, and we will not have to train again."
.”
At this time, Lin Zuhui suddenly thought that if Andy Lau was cast as the starring role in a movie adapted from the previous life "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", it would definitely have good results.
Of course, the investment in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is bigger, so everything has to be done slowly. ATV can lose one blockbuster movie a year, but it must not lose two blockbuster movies to avoid being gossiped by shareholders.
After all, this is just Lin Zuhui's toy.
At this time, Yuan Liangliang said nervously: "Isn't it really a devil's training?" She said this just because of her personal relationship with Lin Zuhui.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Of course it is impossible to train you as soldiers, but the training must be the most effective and exciting fights in the movie. DreamWorks is transforming, imitating Hollywood fight scenes and abandoning the original Hong Kong
Complex fight scenes.”
Yuan Liangliang didn't dare to say anything. She always felt that she had been deceived. The box office of "New Love" she filmed last year was 30 million, and "New Love" could easily win the Academy Award. She actually came to film it.
The action movie is really addictive.
After a brief condolence, Lin Zuhui said goodbye to everyone.
