Chapter 131 Chapter 131~132 [Another Undead Opponent Comes] (5500 words! Please subscribe!)

On the third floor of Landmark Plaza, Lin Zuhui accompanied Guan Jiahui to the decoration of the IT store in the market.

After a month of renovation, the renovation of the four stores of IT Fashion has come to an end, and the next stage is the equipment layout and distribution stage, and it is expected to open in succession in late January.

"How is the decoration effect?" Guan Jiahui asked happily.

Guan Jiahui has fully participated in the decoration design of the store and the layout design of the store. She naturally hopes to get Lin Zuhui's approval.

Lin Zuhui said lightly: "The overall effect has not come out, how do you want me to evaluate it? You just need to remember my words, you must keep improving these aspects at any time, experience it more with the customer's mentality, and correct any problems you find. The next time we open a store, it will be even more perfect.”

For the decoration and layout of the store, they have their own designers. Lin Zuhui also expressed his opinions, and Pan Dickson also participated. It must not be a bad place; but because it is the first time to open a store, IT obviously still has a long way to go .

"I hate it, don't even praise me!" Guan Jiahui complained, but her hand holding Lin Zuhui's was even tighter.

"You've done a good job, let's go to the head office! You're already the boss, why are you still like a child, you need someone to coax you!" Lin Zuhui said speechlessly.

Guan Jiahui said with a smile: "Yes, I belong to the boss, so I want the boss to praise me, what's the problem?"

This woman is quite humorous!

Back at IT's office building in Causeway Bay, there was good news from Europe that the authorization of Dr Martens leather shoes and Levi's501 jeans had been obtained, which made them very happy.

Speaking of which, Dickson Poon's help had a lot to do with obtaining the authorization so quickly this time. After all, he is very familiar with this business.Of course, he is a shareholder of IT, and he should help get the authorization. Lin Zuhui took a fancy to this at the beginning.

At the same time, IT has also established offices in Europe, mainly to represent more European and American first-line brands in the future.

Lin Zuhui was sitting on Guan Jiahui's seat, and this woman was sitting in his arms. This was how they talked about work.

"Martin boots are paired with Levi's jeans. The purchase price of a set is around 300 Hong Kong dollars, and the price can reach 1000 Hong Kong dollars. We need to buy at least 1 sets at a time (different sizes and styles). This is in line with our endorsement and advertising bombing. , the benefit will be very high!" Lin Zuhui pointed out to Guan Jiahui.

"Would it be too much, and you are so optimistic about these two brands?"

"Not much, so that we can save a lot of transportation costs. Haven't you seen the pictures of these two brands? They are very fashionable; as long as we do a good job in advertising, by April or May of next year, we can make a lot of millions in one fell swoop. Start our IT brand."

A pair of Martin shoes only sell for one or two hundred in the UK, but they can be sold for four to five hundred in Hong Kong. In the UK, they are just a common brand. If they are well managed in Hong Kong, they will be trendy and famous brands.

Lin Zuhui remembered that Shen Jiawei in his previous life directly sold out these two brands; now that Lin Zuhui has better advertising channels, deeper celebrity resources, and four popular retail stores, the effect is definitely more obvious.

"Well, listen to you! It's a loss anyway, with the support of your big boss!" Guan Jiahui put her hands around Lin Zuhui's neck, and said close to Lin Zuhui's face.

The breath is like orchid, and the beauty is picturesque.

Lin Zuhui kissed her, and his hands were dishonest.

"No, I can't be here, I'll be humiliated if I'm seen!" Panting, Guan Jiahui broke free, then left Lin Zuhui's embrace, and said with a vigilant expression.

Lin Zuhui put his hand on his nose and smelled it, and said intoxicated, "In the future, I will change you to a better office, the one with a lounge!"

Guan Jiahui immediately understood what this man was up to, and she broke her mouth.

"It's up to you!"

Good guy, what a charming woman!
After staying for a while, Lin Zuhui got up and said goodbye. He was still busy with the company, so he could spend more time on this kind of small business when he had time.To put it bluntly, the IT fashion retail store is for training Guan Jiahui.

As the saying goes: Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a million.Turning Guan Jiahui into a fashion queen and domineering president, and then pressing her under him to conquer, the experience is absolutely different.

Before leaving, Lin Zuhui said: "Recently, you should learn more English. After the opening of the four stores, you, the boss, will often fly around the world. Go to Italy to watch fashion shows and improve your fashion knowledge; go to Europe and the United States. Check out the first-line clothing brands, which brand is more suitable as an agent; and go to Milan to register a company to lay the foundation for your own brand in the future.”

Guan Jiahui immediately longed for it, this is the life of a woman.

However, she always has a reason to be coquettish: "You know how to drive me away so that you can hang out with other women, don't you?"

The tone is not jealous, but coquettish. This woman seems to be more and more sure of her position!
Lin Zuhui ignored her, and continued: "Recently, you recruit a beautiful female assistant who is strong and has studied abroad, and it will be convenient to take with you when you go abroad!"

Guan Jiahui immediately said: "I'm going to recruit an ugly assistant who is strong and has studied abroad. What if you have an idea when the time comes!"

"You are the queen of the clothing industry. If you bring an ugly monster around, others will laugh at you! Also, if I want to, I can find different beauties to spend the night every day!"

It's all right now, Guan Jiahui hurriedly said nervously: "You are not allowed to be so sentimental, you have to accompany me at least once or twice a week!"

Lin Zuhui said angrily: "I still want to live a few more years, my private life is very normal, not as bad as you think!"

The two flirted and flirted, and finally left reluctantly.

After Lin Zuhui left, Guan Jiahui murmured: "Such a handsome Xiangjiang tycoon, beckoning a lot of girls to join him seems to make sense. I believe him, he must not be that kind of person!"

She guessed that Lin Zuhui had another woman, who should be Wang Zuxian. She guessed based on the film company's affairs.

"There shouldn't be more than three women!" Guan Jiahui made a bold guess.

"Anyway, I must work hard and dress myself differently than before, so that I can retain men even more."

Wanhui Media's property worth more than 6000 million yuan, with a total mortgage loan of 5000 million yuan, was invested by Lin Zuhui in shorting USD/JPY with ten times leverage.

It is already early January, and the USD/JPY is still trading sideways at around 1 points. This market has lasted from early December last year to the present, and I don’t know when it will fall.

总之这一波行情，林祖辉记得一个262的最高点（1985.3）、1985年底的200点、1986年上半年最低168点，再有一个记忆就是去年9月份的广场协议。

With these confidences, Lin Zuhui is already sure enough to win.

In the morning, Lin Zuhui came to his office in New Times Real Estate, picked up the newspaper prepared by his assistant as usual, and read it.

Soon, his good mood from waking up in the morning was ruined.

"This "Oriental Daily" is haunted, isn't it!" he scolded in a low voice.

It turned out that "Oriental Daily" once again published his gossip news. This time, Lin Zuhui had dinner with three beauties, and attached a side photo; in the photo, the faces of Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin's mother and daughter were unclear. But if someone is familiar with Lin Zuhui, he can barely recognize Lin Zuhui.

The reason why I say it is barely, because Lin Zuhui usually wears casual clothes during the rest time, which gives people a great contrast.Moreover, Lin Zuhui did not hold hands with Li Jiaxin this time, he walked in front alone, followed by Li Jiaxin, Wu Guofang and Li Jiaming again.It can also be seen from the photos that Lin Zuhui's bodyguards blocked many shots, so his influence is limited.

Putting down the newspaper angrily, Lin Zuhui was a little unhappy.

Of course, he didn't feel how great this matter was. He was not married, but changed girlfriends every day, and no one else had anything to say. At most, he would be given the nickname of "Huanchang Huatuo".

"No! I have always insisted on not doing gossip weekly, but I don't know that if I don't do it, others will stare at your gossip!"

"Moreover, Wanhui Media is essentially a public company listed, not my private company."

"Ming Pao Group has "Ming Pao Weekly", the ancestor of divination magazines, and the reputation of Jin Daxia has not been damaged!"

"Besides, as far as I know, even if Gossip Weekly breaks the law, it is still the chief editor's entry into the classroom, such as the publication of Liu Jialing's nude photos in the "East Weekly" in the previous life!"

The more Lin Zuhui thought about it, the more he felt that he should not be too kind, and the so-called media empire must not avoid gossip news.For example, if Wanhui Media acquires "Daily Daily", then "Daily Daily" itself is a popular newspaper for leisure, how could it not involve gossip!
Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui decided not to consider the gossip magazine, but to consider the acquisition of "Daily Daily", and then rectify "Daily Daily", make a big advertisement, and compete head-on with "Oriental Daily".

Not only that, but the second-generation lame man, the disabled horse, couldn't let him go, robbed his wife, made his family affairs into a movie, and slandered their brothers.

They pour dirty water on themselves, do they think they are muddy?

The current boss of "Oriental Daily" is Ma Chengkun. Disabled Ma is his cousin and has been holding important positions in "Oriental Daily". Because of his father and uncle, Ma Chengkun's three brothers and disabled Ma have been keeping a low profile in Xiangjiang; until later "Oriental Daily" fell to the mainland, and the disabled horse dared to show his face in public. Later, he even married Gigi Lai, a great beauty.

In addition to Ma Chengkun and Disabled Ma, there are Ma Chengfa and Ma Chengcai in the top management of Oriental Daily.

"Very good, I haven't had an opponent for a long time, I just found something to do for myself!"

There was a cruel smile on Lin Zuhui's mouth. He usually hits his opponents from a commercial point of view, and he is not afraid of the shadow.

Coupled with the fact that he has a lot of backers now, and his own strength is strong, he is not worthy of those ghosts and snakes.As long as he wants, he can even take a bite of the Lee Shau Kee family of the four major families.

However, he is a person with clear grievances and grievances. Lee Shau Kee has a little friendship with him, and he is not someone who snipe for no reason; so although Lee Shau Kee is reducing his shareholding in China Gas to invest in real estate, he still has no idea.

The reason why he attacked Aimigao was because he wanted to attack his opponent Da Liu. Although it was just a false alarm for Da Liu, the loss was only 5000 to [-] million (the stockholders also made a fortune);

The attack on Dasheng Real Estate was because Ma Weiqing flirted with his girlfriend Guan Jiahui. As a result, the Ma family cut flesh to protect the country, and the Ma family fell into civil strife (blame Ma Weiqing for provoking enemies for nothing), and Ma Weiqing and Chen Meiqi also divorced.

In the afternoon, Lin Zuhui came to Wanhui Media.

"Hi boss!"

Greetings came and went, but everyone continued to work after saying hello.

Wanhui Media leases a two-story office building. The lower floor is divided into office areas for the three magazines "FHM", "GOOD" and "Capital"; while the upper floor is used for the headquarters staff. After all, it is a listed company now. , Headquarters staff began a new round of expansion.

"Help me call the three directors to my office!" Lin Zuhui said to an office worker who worked part-time as his assistant.

"Okay, boss!"

After a while, the three giants of Wanhui Media came to Lin Zuhui's office and sat on the sofa meticulously waiting for instructions.

Lin Zuhui first asked: "Is the company's work progressing smoothly?"

Long Jingchang nodded, and said, "Well, the sales volume of magazines continues to rise, and the number of GOOD cards also has a tendency to exceed 400 million."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "Although the sales of GOOD cards are rising rapidly, I guess once the market is saturated and the enthusiasm of students fades, sales will inevitably decline!"

The three of them echoed this point of view one after another. After all, there are peaks and downhills in everything.

Lin Zuhui continued: "So, if the company wants to develop, we must not sit still. We publish too few magazines! However, if we start new magazines and daily newspapers, it will take too long, and it will be easy to be surrounded. After all, Hong Kong's media industry It’s too saturated. Therefore, we can only quickly complete the expansion of the media empire through acquisitions.”

The three of them obviously understood this truth. The boss put the cash cows away and listed them through backdoors. Isn't the purpose of rapid expansion!

"President Long, go get in touch with He Shizhu from "Daily Daily" and express our interest in acquiring it, and see if he intends to sell it!"

Sure enough, the three of them thought at the same time.

They have all thought about where Wanhui Media should start if it enters the daily newspaper industry. Undoubtedly, "Daily Daily" is the most suitable.Because although the sales volume of "Daily Daily" has exceeded 13 copies, it has changed hands three times.

In 1977, Tiantian changed ownership for the first time, and Liu Tian, ​​the major shareholder of Miaoli Group, invested 165 million Hong Kong dollars in Tiantian;
In 1984, Miaoli Group, which Liu Tian controlled, fell into a financial crisis, and Liu sold Tiantian publishing rights to Wei Jianbang;
In 1985, Wei Jianbang sold 7% of the shares to He Shizhu in July. He became a shareholder of Tiantian in August, and Tiantian changed hands three times.

Several changes of hands illustrate a problem. Although the sales volume of this daily newspaper ranks among the top five in Xiangjiang, it is a flaw that it does not make money.In fact, Huang Yulang in his previous life bought 1987% of the shares of "Daily Daily" and the entire share of Tiantian Color Printing for 7700 million in early [-].

Zhao Han tried to ask: "Boss, where does the acquisition money come from? Could it be a rights issue to raise funds!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "Daily Daily can talk slowly, but the rights issue needs to be raised immediately. The current Hang Seng Index has broken through 1800 points, which is a good time! I plan to use 10 shares for 3 shares. For stock financing, if I use warrants, I can raise almost 6800 million yuan, and we can use loans to solve the remaining funds or make up for the company's profits."

Zhao Han is a professional financial background, immediately took over the task.

"Liang Botao and I are good friends. I will invite his Citicorp Investment Bank to assist in raising funds for this rights issue. You just need to learn more from your experience."

"Ok!"

After the three left, Lin Zuhui started to write on paper!
The acquisition of "Daily Daily" is nothing, after all, although "Daily Daily" is a direct competitor of "Oriental Daily", the sales volume of "Daily Daily" is about 13 copies, while the sales volume of "Oriental Daily Daily" is about 20 copies .

Therefore, Lin Zuhui is not reconciled to being the second child, he must work hard!
Soon, the strategy of "Apple Poison News" in his previous life appeared in his mind, and he planned to borrow it.

Hong Kong newspapers often use the phrase "a rooster crows when a rooster dies" to describe the frequent life and death of newspapers, and this is indeed the case.This time, Lin Zuhui intends not to take the usual path, but to use financial resources to pile up direct competitors.Wanhui Media is a listed company. He has warrants worth more than 4 million yuan (after appreciation), which allows the company to raise funds in the crazy stock market. It is expected to raise more than [-] million yuan a year.

Of course, "Tian Tian Daily" is not a direct competitor with "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily"; because "Ming Pao" is a newspaper for intellectuals and has a fixed readership; "Sing Tao Daily" is a newspaper for business, finance, Stock market news accounts for a large proportion and has a fixed readership.

The biggest competitor of "Daily Daily" is "Oriental Daily", as well as popular leisure newspapers such as "Xin Bao" and "Sheng Pao".

However, if "Daily Daily" learns from "Apple Poison News"'s methods of poaching talent with high salaries and building momentum, it will definitely affect the structure of the entire newspaper industry.

【PS:前世，在《苹果毒报》出版半年后（1994年），各大报销量均有所下降，《东方日报》从约40万降到30多万。《成报》从18.7万降到14万，《天天日报》、《新报》分别从17.4万、12.8万降至11万，《明报》则从10.7万降至8万。】

Lin Zuhui was arrested because of a traitor back then, so he paid special attention to the family history of the traitor, so in addition to not learning from being a traitor, he can still learn from his business methods.

As for the gossip weekly "Next Magazine", Lin Zuhui still intends not to dabble in it. Even if he does, he will take a gentle approach by referring to "Ming Pao Weekly" instead of forming any paparazzi.

The top priority is to have a daily newspaper of your own.

Soon Lin Zuhui wrote down the strategy outline, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face. This is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction; use the advanced strategy ten years later to defeat the current opponent.

And this time, for Wanhui Media's daily newspaper business, plus the acquisition funds, it is expected to spend more than [-] million yuan. Who can be more arrogant than myself!
He is not afraid of spending money. There is a lot of money in the stock market, but other newspapers are afraid. "Oriental Daily", "Cheng Pao" and "Xin Bao" are not listed, and their financial strength is extremely weak.

Although Sing Tao Group was listed, Hu Xian has been obsessed with real estate speculation since 1985 (purchasing a piece of land for more than 6 million yuan, and selling it for more than 8 million yuan a few months later, with a net profit of [-] million yuan), absolutely no intention of competing;
Jin Daxia is a good friend of Lin Zuhui, and he may have thought of retiring, and Ming Pao Group has its own regular customer base, so he will not participate in it either.Speaking of which, although the sales volume of "Ming Pao" is only 10 copies, it is not much less profitable than the 20 copies of "Oriental Daily". In addition, their "Ming Pao Weekly" is a sharp tool for making money, and it is indeed the owner of the money.

If Wanhui Media dominates the popular daily newspapers and Ming Pao Group in the future, it will be a well-deserved media giant in Hong Kong.

The influence of paper media will not diminish until at least after 2010, when the Internet age fully matures;

By then, Lin Zuhui has already transformed Wanhui Media, and he is still the media tycoon of Xiangjiang.

Although Xiangjiang is small, there are more business wars and stories than the vast mainland, isn't it?

Going to prison, going to prison, going to jail, that's the feature!
