Lin Zuhui was playing on the computer in the office. Of course, he was not having fun, but reading stocks or news.
He wants to be a rich man who keeps up with the times. Although he comes from that era, he hopes that when he is eighty years old, he can still think like a young man in his 20s today.
Not giving in to old age is the goal that Lin Zuhui has set for himself.
He is already 40 years old this year, but he feels that his body functions are still as good as those of his early 20s, so he has an omen that when he is 80 years old, his body may be comparable to that of a strong man in his forties or fifties.
.
By then...
After browsing the Internet for a while, Lin Zuhui stopped surfing the Internet and leaned on his chair to digest and think.
Last year, Xiangjiang's economic growth was estimated to be more than 8%, because the data for the first half of the year was 8%.
Although the Hong Kong government's full-year economic growth data has not yet been compiled, the good performance of the economy has been clearly reflected in the relaxed faces of Hong Kong citizens during the holidays and is scattered in the information released by major economic departments.
There are also data showing specific aspects.
In terms of the stock market: the Hang Seng Index rose 13% throughout the year, reaching 16,850 points at the end of the year; the trading volume throughout the year was tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars higher than in 1997 (the peak); the total market value of Hong Kong stocks reached 7.6 trillion and became the highest in history; the total amount of funds raised by Hong Kong stocks
It can reach 288 billion Hong Kong dollars for the whole year, ranking second only to New York and ranking second among the world's securities markets.
In terms of real estate: The overall situation of the recovery of the property market has been determined. The government's land sales revenue exceeded 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the transaction price was much higher than the land price. This reflects the great recovery of the property market from one side. The total number of transactions in the property market throughout the year reached 128,000, which was the highest in the property market in 1997.
The highest since the peak; the transaction amount reached HK$361 billion, also the highest since 1997 (excluding 1997 and before, only including 1998~2003).
Tourism: Visitors to Hong Kong hit a record high, reaching about 26.1 million for the whole year. (Hong Kong flow has driven tourism, and at the same time, the mainland has opened up its "individual travel" policy)
.......etc.
The GDP of Xiangjiang for the whole year is expected to exceed US$210 billion (it fell below US$200 billion due to the impact of SAS in 2003), setting a new record in history.
Lin Zuhui couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
Driven by the cultural industry, technology industry, shipping industry, etc., creating a GDP that is 20% higher than in the previous life undoubtedly gives him a great sense of accomplishment.
Personal wealth has also grown steadily.
Family office: holds traditional US stocks, British stocks (Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, P&G, Shell, AstraZeneca, etc.), as well as Hong Kong stocks (core blue chip stocks), global luxury properties. [Buy these stocks early, every time they plummet
Before (Internet bubble, subprime mortgage crisis), only 20 to 30% of the funds were used for T wave, and then bought back after the collapse. Overall, they were long-term holdings]
Hengjin Investment: Holds American Internet and technology stocks (Oracle, Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc.) and has bought them after the 911 incident. [Enjoy long-term dividends, regardless of short-term appreciation]
Matrix Partners: Holds a large number of stocks in Amazon, Apple, Kingston, Activision Blizzard, Taobao, Microsoft and other companies; at the same time, after the 911 incident, Lin Zuhui used this private investment company to invest in many American real estate stocks and banks.
shares, sharing risks and concealing property.
Barings Bank: It wholly owns Hilton Hotel Group, Gucci, Fila, etc., holds shares in Philippine San Miguel Group, South Korea's Samsung Electronics, Hynix and other stocks, as well as investment business.
Hengjin Real Estate Investment: Holds H-shares and red-chip stocks listed in Hong Kong, as well as a large number of high-quality rental properties (Wanguobaotong Center, Royal Fort Building, Harcourt Building, Three Diligende Towers, etc.)
Lin Zuhui owns: 1,220 tons of gold and a cash flow of about 210 billion.
Unconsciously, Lin Zuhui's wealth has been growing.
Based on this, he no longer has much ambition for progress, and he only wants to invest in stable industries.
........
In mid-January, Tesla, a subsidiary of Xiaomi Technology, released the appearance of the Model S, its first luxury four-door electric sedan.
It caused a big sensation for a while!
If Tesla's parent company hadn't been Xiaomi Technology, and if Zou Kaixuan hadn't personally served as the chairman of Tesla, people would have laughed at it.
But Xiaomi Technology is a technology giant with a market value of 160 billion, and Zou Kaixuan is a technology legend, so people are paying attention to it.
But do electric cars have a future?
People began to doubt one after another!
The important thing is that Tesla’s headquarters is in Pengcheng, Mainland China. Will the government support supporting facilities?
Although it caused a sensation, there were many doubts.
.......
Repulse Bay.
Lin Zuhui came to Zou Kaixuan's villa, and after getting close to his two sons, he took Zou Kaixuan to the study.
"What do you think is the biggest difficulty in the development of Tesla?" Lin Zuhui said easily.
He asked Zou Kaixuan to make electric cars just because he wanted to spend money, and he had no hope of truly surpassing the United States in this regard. Although he poached Musk, once Americans notice the prospects of electric cars, there will definitely be others.
Come forward and invest; by then, with the talent and technology of the Americans, it may not be impossible to "overtake in a corner".
However, Lin Zuhui’s idea is to establish the advantages of the Chinese in the field of electric vehicles in advance and enter the market one day earlier to absorb more technology and experience.
In fact, taking advantage of the fact that the United States did not react, it acquired AC Propulsion and recruited the Martin and Mark teams. This was already a 'overtaking in a corner'.
Otherwise, how could we dare to announce the ‘Model S’ so quickly?
Even in this generation, Tesla made fewer detours and did not develop an electric sports car Roadster. The most important reason was the cost issue.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zou Kaixuan came behind Lin Zuhui and squeezed his shoulders.
Although she is a world-class technology giant, because she is a woman, she has a very high status and can surpass the technology giants. But she understands one thing. With the support of Lin Zuhui, she will be very confident.
At the same time, she is Lin Zuhui's Lu Li in spirit, so it is impossible to betray her.
"Technically, it is currently a problem with the gearbox... Overall, there are also cost issues... and issues with supporting facilities."
Lin Zuhui closed his eyes and said:
"I won't guide you on technical issues. After all, Tesla has plenty of R&D expenses, so why worry about technology and cost issues. This is what you, as chairman, should consider. If Tesla CEO cannot solve this problem, he will naturally
not qualified."
"The last problem is the biggest problem. If there are no supporting facilities, no one will buy it. So I give you two suggestions: First, use Pengcheng or even Guangdong Province as a pilot project, and persuade the government to support this project.
The officials in Guangdong Province are very open-minded, and I have told you many times about the prospects of electric vehicles, so it is not difficult for you to convince them. I can even go to the capital to give it a try, and the overall problem is not big."
"Second, if Xiangjiang is also used as a pilot project, we will not be able to invest privately in supporting facilities."
"In short, once initial success is achieved, capital and companies around the world will invest in the research and development of electric vehicles. And we can not only take the lead with our years of technology and experience, but also with our 'pioneers' and 'representatives'
Sex' to gain high fame."
"And once Tesla's technology is perfected, I will secretly find a way to get you a loan of US$500 million or US$1 billion."
In the previous life, Biya actually entered the field of electric vehicles very early, and even produced one in 2008. Although it failed due to various reasons such as supporting facilities or technology, others did not give up and quickly reorganized the layout of new energy vehicles.
This is also an electric car brand in later generations, but Biya's is the only one that is truly successful.
As for LeTV, Wei Lai, Lixiang, etc., they just saw the prospects of this industry and swarmed into it; they have no accumulated technology and experience, nor huge R&D funds and development funds. Whether they can succeed in the future is another matter.
Zou Kaixuan curiously leaned on Lin Zuhui's shoulder and asked: "You are so knowledgeable and confident about future technology, why don't you master Xiaomi technology yourself?"
Lin Zuhui turned his head, leaned in and said, "People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. I am successful in everything, especially in science and technology. I am jealous of others. So for the sake of the safety of the family, I need to recommend you as my agent."
Zou Kaixuan asked in confusion: "Are you worried that someone is jealous of you? Is it the United States?"
Lin Zuhui nodded!
Xiaomi Technology has spent almost all of its profits on research and development and expansion of production in recent years, and has made great contributions to technology. By 2020, it will have no idea how many patents and technologies it will have!
"I understand, don't worry, I will be in the same position as you!" Zou Kaixuan said seriously.
She didn't say who she shared the same position with, but she said she shared the same position with Lin Zuhui. Obviously this was her true thought.
"Xiaomi Technology was founded for China! I can have both sides, but Xiaomi Technology cannot. Without the official support of the mainland and its roots in the mainland, Xiaomi Technology has no future." Lin Zuhui also said firmly.
He is a global businessman who wants to do business around the world, so he does not participate in anything on ZZ, or he speaks unclearly.
Of course, when the time comes, Lin Zuhui will also control risks and will not make any plans at all.
"Okay, I understand!"
Last year, Xiaomi Technology sold its "LCD display" business to Golden Oriental in exchange for new shares issued by Golden Oriental. In an instant, Golden Oriental's display business was advanced several years. In addition, Golden Oriental acquired South Korea's Hyundai display business.
Taiwanese founded TPV Display.
In this life, Golden Oriental may have to break the large display monopoly of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan two or three years in advance.
Xiaomi Technology is currently developing its own semiconductor industry and secretly supporting Modu Microelectronics. In short, it has invested a lot in this area.
After discussing the layout of electric vehicles with Zou Kaixuan for a while, Lin Zuhui did not understand technology, but he understood the general trend. As for technology, with the accumulation of a lot of money, there will definitely be a big breakthrough.
According to the current progress of Tesla, it is expected that a large amount of funds will be needed next year, and Lin Zuhui will find a way to loan Tesla US$500 million to US$1 billion through some channels.
With this money, Tesla can naturally build a factory in the mainland and consider mass production.
“What is the financial situation of Xiaomi Technology?”
"After obtaining a loan of HK$5 billion, the financial situation is very good. The 2 billion funds you arranged for stock trading have also been purchased, and there is still sufficient cash in the account. At the same time, Xiaomi Technology made a profit of HK$4.6 billion last year, which is still very good.
.”
Xiaomi's biggest source of profit is the mobile phone business. Unlike domestic copycat phones, Xiaomi's mobile phone profits are still considerable. Together with the PHS business, it accounts for about 70% of profits. As for other electronic products, Xiaomi also produces a lot, but alone
The profit is not high.
Xiaomi Technology’s annual research and development expenses account for 25%, which is actually slightly higher. The rest of the money is used to expand production and operations.
Therefore, although it can make money, it also costs a lot of money. Lin Zuhui arranged for a bank to lend 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to Xiaomi. In addition to developing Xiaomi, he also spent 2 billion to purchase several Hong Kong stocks.
By the end of 2007, the money from cashing out of Hong Kong stocks could almost repay the debt, and Xiaomi still got 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in vain.
"This year, you will set up a 'smartphone department'. With the popularization of 3G networks, mobile phones will no longer be used for making calls, listening to music, etc., but more importantly, they will be able to access the Internet...
.Touch screen, there are only three buttons on the bottom of the whole phone...that's about it."
The concept of smartphones has actually been proposed, but no one realized that it was a revolution, so naturally no mobile phone manufacturers vigorously developed it.
Zou Kaixuan had no doubts about Lin Zuhui's eyes, and immediately said: "Well, I will definitely remember your words. If there really is a mobile phone like you said, the technology of this world has obviously entered a new era."
Lin Zuhui said: "There is no doubt about what has happened in recent years. It's just that Xiaomi's technology funds and technology are not as developed as in the West, so you don't have to rush in, just lay out slowly. Even if we are not the first, as long as we are the first echelon
, is success.”
Zou Kaixuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, with your description, I almost have a complete plan. Although the technology needs to break through little by little, Xiaomi Technology's R&D strength is still very strong."
"Mobile phone systems also need to be developed. Even if there is a better mobile phone system in the world in the future, we will still have to develop it as a backup. Once we have a better system, maybe we can develop a global system."
"Okay, I understand!"
Lin Zuhui is like a designer, formulating the future of Huaxia Technology, and has a great sense of accomplishment. You must know that what a large enterprise ultimately wants is not a certain technology, but the overall direction.
Once the direction is wrong, it will be over. For example, Motorola and Nokia will fall behind in smartphones.
