On the first working day of the new year, Lin Zuhui came to the office of New Era Group as usual.
There has been a lot of news about Lin Zuhui in the recent newspapers. At the end of last year, he continued to make moves, spending US$1 billion to acquire 80% of Kingston's equity, and US$800 million to acquire 49% of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which was widely reported by the Hong Kong media.
Of course, there is a lot of negative news. Some people mentioned old things again and said that he was relocating capital. There are still many people who hold this view. Lin Zuhui no longer pays attention to it. His investment in the mainland has reached 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the actual expenditure has been
12 billion Hong Kong dollars (a relatively heavy loan ratio) is already the final choice for many Chinese-funded companies.
He is too lazy to explain too much now. He can occasionally use his own media to promote positive energy and will no longer accept interviews from other media companies.
In the morning, New Era Group held a group high-level meeting, with more than a dozen core senior executives attending.
Everyone has made work reports one after another. Overall, the word "aggressive" can be used to describe the current development of the group. Especially in the field of retail real estate and hotels in Europe and the United States, New Era Group has adopted massive investment.
After listening to everyone's reports, Lin Zuhui immediately understood.
At present, the company still has 12.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash flow on its books. Last year's non-recurring profit was nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the full-year profit is about 21 billion Hong Kong dollars. A lot of new liabilities have been added, and the group's debt has reached 21.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The reason why there is a non-recurring profit of HK$3 billion is that Chinese Land sold half of the equity in the Octopus Bank Building to Octopus Bank for a price of HK$2 billion; the reason for only selling half of it is simple, because it is convenient for management. After all, Octopus
Financial conglomerates do not occupy much office space.
"This year, the group will focus on supporting Amazon Shopping Center and Langham Hotel Group. Even if the group has a debt of 30 billion, it must still support it. Therefore, colleagues in charge of these two departments must grasp the work at hand. To be honest, you let
It’s easy for me to raise funds, but when I buy assets, I have to manage them well to have a future, so I have to work hard!”
"Yes, BOSS!" Two foreign core executives immediately replied seriously.
Steve, the president of Amazon Shopping Mall, is also the vice president of New Era Business Management, and also has the authority to manage Fuli Real Estate (rent-collecting properties in Europe and the United States); therefore, he has been reused to manage the collection of New Era Group in Europe and the United States.
Rent ancestral property.
The management of office buildings in Europe and the United States is not that easy, especially the office buildings in Manhattan. Their tax models are different, and because they are old-fashioned buildings, they require more careful management. Of course, Fuli Real Estate also has local management.
Team and President.
Overall, New Era Group belongs to an international, high-quality, and efficient management team.
Lin Zuhui said to Liang Zhenxun again: "Make financial arrangements and support!"
Liang Zhenxun nodded and said: "Okay"
Lin Zuhui said to Chen Bin: "In Xiangjiang, most of the work is given to senior staff and they focus on global business. Within three to five years, New Era Group's local profits will be lower than global profits. And global profits are mostly
In Europe and America.”
It is obvious that New Era Group is indeed mobilizing funds and moving towards Europe and the United States.
Chen Bin said seriously: "Well, I will definitely coordinate and manage the group's work and share more with the boss."
He is the president of the group. Lin Zuhui has always delegated power to the president. Now, Lin Zuhui does not need to sign for projects worth hundreds of millions or billions, and he will not sign.
After a meeting, the general direction of the group this year is almost clear.
This year New Era Group's profits may exceed 25 billion, and growth is inevitable; non-recurring profits are also substantial. Not surprisingly, just short selling the US dollar, Japanese yen, and Nikkei index should make a profit of HK$3 to 4 billion;
In addition, by buying U.S. dollars and Japanese yen at that time, New Era Group's non-recurring profits will rise to 5 billion.
He is a stock god and has no problem leading the company to make some financial money.
This does not include investments in U.S. stocks. The current market value of New Era Group in U.S. stocks has reached 1.35 billion U.S. dollars. Last year, it once again made a profit of nearly 35%. This is still small. This year, the stocks of Citibank and Microsoft are expected to soar by more than 40%.
As far as Lin Zuhui knows, throughout the 1990s, the average annual return on Citibank's stock price was more than 40%, and Microsoft was not weaker than this rate of return. This investment by New Era Group could return US$10 billion by the end of the 1990s.
It's so exciting.
Because of this, Lin Zuhui decided to use debt to develop the company and invest in it in advance.
After the meeting.
Lin Zuhui came to his office and saw that the Hang Seng Index on the computer was already below 8,000 points. He smiled and was hit again.
From the end of 1993 to the beginning of 1994, the family office cashed out more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars from Heung Kong Securities, with the average cash out being around 11,300 points on the Hang Seng Index.
Now that the Hang Seng Index has dropped to just under 8,000 points, if you buy it now, it will be equivalent to a 30% price difference.
In fact, the family office has received instructions from Lin Zuhui and began to buy back blue chip stocks with more than 6 billion yuan below 8,000 points.
Moreover, Lin Zuhui also believes that the Hang Seng Index will fall below 7,000 points, but it does not matter. Anyway, the family office also buys in batches, which will lower the average purchase price.
All Jardine Matheson companies will cancel the status of Xiangjiang's second listed companies starting today, so the Hang Seng Index in January should be the time to bottom out.
Thinking of this, he decided to let Hengjin Investment buy futures contracts and try to make some pocket money from it this year.
Recently, he changed his mind. This year, each of the eight immortals will receive an investment quota of HK$300 million, while the remaining four beauties will receive a quota of HK$200 million. In this way, he will have to spend HK$3 billion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he currently has a high debt, reaching 1 billion US dollars, he is not in a hurry. Gold, foreign exchange, rent, dividends, these incomes can bring him
With an income of about 10 billion, why worry about not having money!
In a movie theater, the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" adapted from the previous life is playing on the screen, and there are only two viewers in the entire theater. Don't get me wrong, this is because Lin Zuhui booked a VIP theater in DreamWorks Cinemas, and the two
In addition to him, the famous audience also included the heroine Yuan Liangliang.
On the screen, the male and female protagonists had some passionate scenes, which not only did not make Lin Zuhui feel "shameful", but also gave him an inexplicable feeling of excitement. Although Yuan Jingliang was his woman, Lin Zuhui never regarded her as his concubine. To put it bluntly,
She's just a prop looking for porcelain skin, so as long as she doesn't make Category III movies, it won't be a problem.
DreamWorks has shot two blockbusters in a row, and the response so far has been very good. The first "Resident Evil" has even recovered nearly 70% of the cost within half a year. Not surprisingly, it can be released in the United States. So it is not a loss.
Possibly, there will be subsequent income as profit in the future.
The movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is more popular than "Resident Evil". The Taiwanese film company directly offered a buyout fee of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new buyout record. The reason is very simple. The first is "Resident Evil"
"The box office is very good in Taiwan; secondly, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" invested 20 million US dollars in publicity (actually more than 17 million US dollars), and was filmed in the United States; thirdly, Andy Lau himself is very popular in Taiwan and South Korea.
If you want to buy it out, buy it out. Anyway, DreamWorks is ‘fighting for its reputation’, and making money is secondary;
What's more, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can be released in the mainland. Since 1994, in order to save the film industry, the mainland has started to introduce foreign films, giving DreamWorks an opportunity.
In short, for a movie with an investment of less than 20 million US dollars, DreamWorks can still recover the cost in about two to three years, and even make some profits. Because of this, DreamWorks is currently preparing to shoot "The Matrix" and still chooses to shoot in the United States, but
The main actors are all from Xiangjiang.
To make two blockbusters a year and maintain the DreamWorks brand, this is Lin Zuhui's original intention. And what he needs to pay is nothing more than to use his brain, remember some excellent movies, make an outline and give it to Pan Cheng, and then
Just remind me of the details you remember, and don't worry about the rest.
Just for fun, why are you so serious?
Seeing the passionate scene between the two killer couples on the screen, Lin Zuhui pulled Yuan Liangliang into his arms and put his hand in unceremoniously.
"No, this is a movie theater. It would be bad if someone saw it!" Yuan Liangliang said in shock. She could see that Lin Zuhui was serious.
Lin Zuhui remained unmoved and said, "Don't be afraid. My bodyguards are guarding the door. Today we are Mr. and Mrs. Smith." After saying that, he placed Yuan Liangliang in front of him and motioned for her to squat down.
Yuan Liangliang immediately understood that this man was looking for porcelain skin! However, she did not hesitate much and quickly wrapped her around Da Wu.
So cool!
Finally, I can afford to spend huge sums of money to make Yuan Liangliang popular. At this time, she is already more popular than Maggie Cheung. I heard that Jack Cheng and Stephen Chow are lining up to invite her to make movies. It just so happens that DreamWorks has no scenes with her this year.
Lin Zuhui looked at the big screen and felt so happy all over. He was multitasking, so it didn't affect him watching movies at all. A movie lasted for 120 minutes, and apart from the 20-plus minutes it had already played, the remaining 100 minutes were not easy for him.
It was easy, but I was afraid that Yuan Liangliang would beg for mercy, so I let her borrow the prop O for 20 minutes.
"Is there no surveillance?" Yuan Liangliang asked.
"What are you thinking? Public places in Xiangjiang cannot be monitored. And I asked the bodyguard to check it. This is a VIP room again!"
"Hehe, you're not afraid, and I'm not afraid either!"
After Yuan Liangliang finished speaking, she stood up, and then her clothes fell off one by one, and soon the graceful figure of the Hong Kong sister was fully visible.
"I want to sit on it!"
Suddenly, the real drama began.
Life is short, you have to enjoy yourself in time.
No matter how much money you make, what's the point if you can't spend it casually?
Who would have thought that the world's richest man would be keen on doing this kind of thing?
In the eyes of ordinary people, some well-known rich people are sanctimonious, but in reality?
Even 'great people' like Bill Gates maintain long-term relationships with company employees, and loving couples cannot stand up to the passage of time.
In the theater, Yuan Liangliang held the seat in the front row, and Lin Zuhui was exerting force behind him, and he was still able to watch the movie, enjoying himself.
