May 27 is the day for the delivery of Hang Seng Index futures, and the Hang Seng Index closes at 0;
It has dropped 1,500 points from the beginning of May and 3,000 points from the peak at the end of March, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Obviously, international speculators have returned victorious again.
Some international media openly published news in newspapers: Xiangjiang has become a cash machine for international investors. As long as you press the switch button, you can make profits from Xiangjiang Securities.
For a while, the market sentiment was wailing. There was no longer a technical rebound trend, and it looked like it would continue to fall.
Octopus Bank Building.
In Lin Zuhui's office, Octopus Bank President He Changhong, Vice President Li Huimin, Barings Bank President Andre, and Vice President Liang Botao were all sitting on the sofa.
"Bahrain Bank continues to increase its holdings of Samsung Electronics shares, preferably holding more than 5%!"
Liang Botao glanced at Andre, and then said: "No problem! Samsung Electronics' current market value is only US$4.5 billion, and Bahrain Bank has sufficient cash flow."
Lin Zuhui asked: "How much liquidity does Bahrain Bank still have on its account?"
Andre replied: "1 billion U.S. dollars, if you include about 300 million U.S. dollars from Samsung Electronics, there is still more than 700 million U.S. dollars."
Peregrine spent US$300 million, San Miguel Group spent US$400 million (ultimately holding 16.8% of the shares), and Barings Bank has spent US$700 million this year.
When Lin Zuhui thought about it, each of his private investment institutions was not redundant; Family Office, Hengjin Investment, Matrix Partners, and Bahrain Bank all had a focused nature.
Family Office: Mainly invests in Hong Kong blue chip stocks, stocks of "future high market capitalization" listed companies in the United States and the United Kingdom, such as: United Health, Johnson & Johnson, Mobil, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Unilever, AstraZeneca, Shell and other types of stocks.
Class stocks pay stable dividends every year, and their market value growth rate is not bad.
Hengjin Investment: U.S. stocks in the secondary market, mainly information technology (Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, etc.), banks (Citigroup, Partners, etc.), and Nike, Starbucks and other stocks.
Jingwei Capital: Venture capital for Chinese and American Internet companies, and primary market investment (Apple, Kingston).
And now Barings Bank will also become an investment tool in his hands, so he has to develop it well.
"Strive to buy LG Electronics, Samsung and other listed electronic companies at the bottom again, and the price of South Korea's electronic technology will be around US$500 million."
Liang Botao immediately said: "Okay, no problem!"
Samsung Electronics’ market capitalization is US$4.5 billion, which is pitifully low. Within five years, it will easily reach US$50 billion.
In December last year, the market value of Samsung Electronics was as low as 3.6 billion US dollars. After all, the country almost went bankrupt. In the first half of this year, the Korean stock market fell as a whole. Now the market value is only more than 300 points. After all, bankruptcies and unemployment are flooding South Korea.
We are bargain hunting at this time because the South Korean government introduced many policies in May to encourage foreign investment in South Korea.
Bahrain Bank spent about 1.2 billion US dollars at once, which made Lin Zuhui feel a little sad. Fortunately, he had many channels to make money. Therefore, the remaining 500 million US dollars had to be used.
"President Andre, the U.S. dollar has been strong recently and the U.S. dollar has been rising against the yen, which is bound to not be a long-term thing. Therefore, you are responsible for the short selling of the U.S. dollar against the yen at Barings Bank. I took a look and the U.S. dollar against the yen is now close to 140 points.
I don’t know how high this wave will rise, and the risk is still very high. In this way, if it is short-selling above 140 points, the daily quota of 10 million U.S. dollars cannot exceed 150 million U.S. dollars in total.”
He really can't remember the specific trend of the US dollar and the yen, but now he mostly relies on analysis to do finance.
Of course, the general trend is still the decisive factor, otherwise he would really not dare to make this kind of risky investment.
The Japanese yen has been depreciating crazily in the past year or so due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis. In particular, Japanese banks have invested heavily in Southeast Asia and have been greatly affected.
Now, the financial crisis has come to an end. In addition, during this wave of financial crisis, countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia have united and held many official meetings.
It may be coming to an end!
Beyond that, USD/JPY is unlikely to break 150, and the index won't do so until 24 years from now.
Therefore, he still has 90% confidence in this wave of foreign exchange. At least he still has a large amount of margin.
Andre's spirit immediately became high. This boss knows how to spend money and will definitely make money. He almost never fails in finance.
"Okay, we will strictly follow your instructions!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, then looked at the two senior executives of Octopus Bank.
"Badatong Bank also has a lot of cash, and we should make full use of it. If you go to South Korea to buy their banks, it is not the secondary market, but to subscribe for new shares. We only make strategic investments and do not want control. Koreans must be very
welcome."
After the Asian financial crisis, South Korea has two industries with the highest returns, the first is the electronics industry, and the second is banking.
Foreign capital in Bank of Korea once accounted for 70%, and of course almost all the capital was investment in nature; as for the controlling stake, at least it will have to be after South Korea introduces policies again at the end of the year.
It is said that South Korea was heartbroken by the high rate of return of banks during the financial crisis. The key is that some US-funded financial institutions also 'evaded taxes', which made the South Korean government very angry.
He Changhong asked: "How much is the boss prepared to invest?"
Lin Zuhui said: "It's just 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, mainly investing in big banks, such as Korea Kookmin Bank. Pay attention to the investment conditions. We are here to make money. We will sell the stocks when the ban is lifted. We can avoid taxes if we can reasonably avoid them."
He Changhong was stunned and said: "So many?"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Going to South Korea now is a money grab. This country itself has strong export capabilities and can quickly reverse the impact of the financial crisis. Therefore, investment is very profitable. If there are insufficient opportunities in the banking field, you can also directly
To buy stocks of other companies in the secondary market, you don’t necessarily have to invest in a bank.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Changhong and Li Huiling finally had no doubts and quickly expressed their commitment.
The funds used by Octopus Bank this time are Octopus's working capital, and not all of them. At the same time, Octopus Bank's loan-to-deposit ratio is not high, and its structure is very safe.
Therefore, in the end, Lin Zuhui said: "Xiangjiang real estate has almost reached its lowest point. Although it will not recover soon, some loans can be released with appropriate efforts."
He Changhong said: "Okay, I understand!"
With the boss’s ability, no matter what he does, he can’t succeed, everyone said with admiration in their hearts.
After making some arrangements, Lin Zuhui announced the adjournment of the meeting with satisfaction, and everyone went to get busy.
This time around the Asian financial crisis, Octopus Financial Group had a big hit.
Barings Bank swallowed up Peregrine and bargain-hunted many companies with potential listings;
Octopus Bank took the opportunity to set up branches in many regions in Asia and entered the Korean financial industry.
Octopus Securities also annexed two securities companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, expanding its business again.
...
The next day.
Lin Zuhui and his fourth wife Cai Ning came to the Leit Group building and asked the employees passing by to say hello. Of course, they called Cai Ning her former senior position in Leit Group as ‘Manager Cai’.
Although many people know about the relationship between Cai Ning and Lin Zuhui, Lin Zuhui has never publicly said that he has a second wife or a third wife. He always calls them 'confidantes'.
Arriving at the office, Cai Ning took over the duties of an assistant, serving tea and making water for Lin Zuhui. After all, she was Lin Zuhui's secretary, so she was naturally familiar with the work.
Cai Ning went to Australia in the past few years and began to make a name for herself in the business community there. She is very suitable for business. Coupled with so many years of training, her main businesses in Australia include: real estate and wine.
"As a secretary, you have not lost your skills!" Lin Zuhui quipped while sipping tea.
"Where can I lose it? I just don't know if your taste has changed!" Cai Ning stood next to Lin Zuhui and said with a gentle smile.
Lin Zuhui leaned on the chair, motioned for Cai Ning to come closer, then took her hand and said, "Has it changed?"
Cai Ning immediately knew what Lin Zuhui meant, and immediately said: "No more, boss!" He looked like a little woman.
What Lin Zuhui means is that his feelings for women like them have not changed. Although he has a new girlfriend, his chest is broad enough!
Cai Ning naturally agreed with Lin Zuhui. Apart from spending less time with them, Lin Zuhui's attitude towards them was indeed the same as before.
The two chatted for a while, then there was a knock on the door.
Chen Shiwen, the president of Leit Group, came in. He was not surprised to see Cai Ning inside.
"Boss, Manager Cai!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Sit"
Cai Ning left Lin Zuhui and made tea for Chen Shiwen. Chen Shiwen quickly bowed and thanked him.
Lin Zuhui said: "How are the store expansions of several brands going?"
Chen Shiwen immediately made a detailed report. Many brands began to make efforts in Asia. Taking advantage of the low prices for storefront sales/rental, they began to expand. Everything went very smoothly.
After the report, Lin Zuhui expressed his affirmation: "Well, that's it, the economy will always recover!"
Then, Lin Zuhui said: "Leit Group is going to acquire two projects, and you will be responsible for it yourself!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "The first one is to acquire the capital of Ruoshi Manor, the second largest red wine group in Australia. It is just a joint acquisition with Cai Ning's company. Leit Group holds 50% of the equity, but in name only Cai Ning
The company is mainly based on the company and will be jointly managed after the acquisition!”
In recent years, Cai Ning has established a red wine company in Australia and acquired a number of small and medium-sized Australian red wine estates.
Now, Lin Zuhui plans to use Cai Ning's identity to form the largest red wine group in Australia; first acquire the second-ranked Ruoshi Manor, and then plan to acquire the number one Southern Wine.
Chen Shiwen nodded and said, "Okay, let's form a consortium as soon as possible and launch an acquisition."
Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "It really needs to be done as soon as possible, preferably a blitz, and you can report the situation to me at any time. According to my analysis, the exchange rate of the Australian dollar against the euro will fall, and the Australian official will introduce various preferential measures in recent years.
, so Australian wine has more and more advantages in competing with Old World countries.”
Chen Shiwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately knew what was going on, and said, "Okay, we will make sure to be more efficient!"
Then, Lin Zuhui said: "Do you still remember what happened with Feile?"
Chen Shiwen nodded and said: "Of course you remember, we are waiting for opportunities and are ready to make acquisitions at any time!"
What is an opportunity? Of course, Fila is going downhill and the major shareholders are interested in putting money on the market.
Lin Zuhui said: "Yes, Fila is definitely our high-end sports brand. However, before that, you have to acquire Fila in South Korea. I don't want to acquire Fila's global brand in the future. South Korea is independent."
kingdom."
His idea was to delist Fila Corporation, which was listed in the United States, around 2000-2001.
Then, naturally, he began to use his prophetic skills to sign football superstars like Ronaldo, Messi, and NBA stars.
After all, there is a process for football stars to become famous, and it can be completely missed.
As for James in the NBA, he signed a 7-year, 90 million contract with Nike when he entered the NBA in his previous life. If there is an opportunity, it is not impossible for Fila to offer a higher contract.
After all, sports brands rely on added value. As for technology, everyone has it, not to mention that some customers directly ask what top-notch technology this pair of sneakers has.
Chen Shiwen immediately said: "Boss, foreign capital now accounts for 50% of the highest authority in Korean listed companies."
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It will be 100% soon. Hostile acquisition is fine, so you go and ambush first!"
Chen Shiwen's eyes lit up. The boss said that South Korea would introduce new policies, so he must be right.
"Okay, I'm going to use Barings as our financial advisor!"
"Well, it should be!"
Definitely find your own company as a financial consultant!
After Chen Shiwen left.
Lin Zuhui said to Cai Ning: "Although it is joint management, everything is still dominated by you. You must learn from the management experience of Leit Group and master the red wine group as soon as possible, because in the future you will have to acquire Southern Wine and form the largest red wine group in Australia. This
It is the inheritance of you and my children.”
Luchen Family is the 'company name' of Leit Group's red wine business. Of course, Luchen Family is also its top red wine brand. After these years of development, Luchen Family has rich management experience and sales channels, so this is what makes Luchen Family
Reasons for Saga’s participation.
When the next acquisition of Southern Wine is made, Leit Group's shareholding can be reduced and Cai Ning's shareholding can be increased.
In this way, Cai Ning will become Australia’s wine queen.
To be honest, even if the two major Australian wine brands are acquired, it will only cost about HK$20 billion (not sure yet), which is just drizzle and water for Lin Zuhui.
After the millennium, he really had no place to spread his money, so he could only buy properties for these women.
We have been together for so many years, and it is unlikely that we will betray each other. Lin Zuhui is confident now. What's more important is that his children are older and he can't be too defensive.
It's just a few dollars, these women are not that stupid, and Lin Zuhui is not that stingy.
Cai Ning nodded happily and was almost moved to tears.
"Well, don't worry, I will definitely protect the Lin family branch in Australia and unite the Lin family members."
She knows that if Lin Zuhui is a womanizer, then the women around him must have changed one after another, and there is no need to arrange them. Therefore, her man's idea is to strengthen the family.
Lin Zuhui patted Cai Ning's big buttocks and said, "You are still the most sensible!"
Cai Ning said in a sweet voice: "How can it be that every one of your women disobeys you when you are so charming?"
This woman made Lin Zuhui very happy!
His palms were squeezing Chi Caining's big buttocks, and it felt very good. This woman knew that Lin Zuhui liked her figure, so she specialized in training this kind of figure. It was almost the figure of the Kardashian family in the previous life, but Caining was over 1.7 meters tall.
, much stronger than Kim Kardashian, who is less than 1.6 meters tall.
