Hong Kong's new giants

Monday, May 9.

Lin Zuhui seemed to be in a good mood in the office of Huazhi Center.

New Times Group has made another 6% overseas. In the official land auction in Singapore last week, New Times Real Estate won a piece of land with an area of ​​more than [-] square feet on Orchard Road.

Orchard Road is the commercial center of Singapore and one of the most successful commercial centers in the world. According to statistics from later generations, there are more than 20 shopping centers, which shows its prosperity.

For a long time, New Times Group has been waiting for opportunities, so this time the official land auction in Singapore, New Times Group, with its huge cash flow, defeated local real estate developers in Singapore and overseas real estate developers, and was called the Raptors of the River by the local media. .

It’s nothing, although Orchard Road is expensive, where is the land in Xiangjiang Central, which is more than 6 square feet, and it only costs 14.8 billion (xiangjiang is estimated to be 25 billion)!

In the morning, Huang Tingfang, Huang Zhixiang and his son from Sino Land came to Lin Zuhui's office.

Lin Zuhui had already guessed why they came. The cash flow owned by New Times Group made Xiangjiang Real Estate Company feel desperate; more importantly, Lin Zuhui's personal funds made the real estate developers tremble even more.

Therefore, at the official land auction, the New Era Group must be the most eye-catching boy.

"Congratulations to Lin Sheng, who won the Orchard Road land and entered the real estate industry in Singapore!" Huang Tingfang said with a smile.

At the official land auction in Singapore this time, the Far East Organization of Huang Tingfang's other son also participated in the auction, but did not perform well.Far East Organization has always been the king of Orchard, and currently has many commercial shopping centers there, which is very enviable.

Lin Zuhui accompanied Huang's father and son, drinking tea on the sofa, and responded: "Everyone is humble, otherwise there will be our New Times Group's share!"

Huang Tingfang, Huang Zhixiang and his son were immediately slandered in their hearts. Regarding the attitude of New Times Group and the strength of Xiangjiang First Real Estate Company, who would dare to try its edge.

Real estate developers in Singapore, including those with official backgrounds, actually want to win, but the current Prime Minister is Wu, who opened the door to Singapore in 1990 and implemented open development.Therefore, this official land auction is for the highest bidder.

Of course, in 1988, Wheelock only spent more than 9 million Hong Kong dollars to win a piece of land on Orchard Road and build Wheelock Building; it can be seen that the land price of Orchard Road has risen sharply in recent years of.You know, as far as Lin Zuhui knows, in the 21s, Ms. He won a piece of land on Orchard Road, and the average price was only 20 square feet.In other words, in terms of land prices alone, Orchard Road has only three or four times the room for growth.

After being polite, Huang Tingfang got down to business: "Lin Sheng, at the official land auction next month, there will be a Shatian residential land king. New Times Group is determined to win it, right?"

Nonsense, the housing price there is now less than 3000 Hong Kong dollars, and the prospects can be described as bright, since there will be no loss, why bother to apologize!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's a bit serious to be determined, but we are still optimistic about the prospects of Xiangjiang Real Estate!"

Don't need to talk too much, Huang Zhixiang and his son will understand.

There was a trace of 'worries' on Huang Zhixiang's face, but it disappeared quickly, and he suggested: "How about the two of us forming a team again?"

Lin Zuhui began to think that the performance of Sino Real Estate in the official land should not be underestimated. Although he was sure of victory, the loss outweighed the gain.This time Sha Tin Residential Land King has no plans to build a commercial shopping center, but they can cooperate!

"Okay, the two of us cooperate, and we don't have to raise the price too much!"

Huang Tingfang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is indeed the truth. New Times Group is the largest real estate developer in Xiangjiang. Its strength is daunting. It is our honor to cooperate!"

Lin Zuhui responded: "Seriously, the New Era Group has a big business, and the current investment projects are too large. For competitors like Sino Land, we would rather cooperate!"

This is very comfortable to hear, Huang Tingfang and his son thought to themselves.

After Huang's father and son left, Liang Zhenxun walked into the office.

"Boss, 1 million US dollars has been injected into Fuli Real Estate's US account!"

Futura Real Estate is a Hong Kong-listed company that specializes in real estate investment in the United States acquired by New Times Group that year. After the stock market plummeted in 30, New Times Group privatized it. Now it has a "comprehensive business center" in Los Angeles, USA Buildings)', and a large number of rental properties, the asset value is about [-] billion Hong Kong dollars.

This year, Lin Zuhui has arranged for Fuli Real Estate to move its headquarters to Los Angeles as the flagship company of New Era Group investing in the United States.

Lin Zuhui heard the words, and immediately said: "Buy the shares of Citibank immediately and make long-term investment!"

Although the stock of Citibank is falling, but this year's crazy fundraising, Prince Alwaleed alone injected more than 5 million US dollars, plus Lin Zuhui's 8 million US dollars, and some investors in the market injected more than [-] million dollars.

In fact, the market value of Citibank is still more than 40 billion US dollars!But the stock price has fallen by one-third compared to Lin Zuhui's first purchase.

Fuli Real Estate bought 1 million US dollars, accounting for almost 2% of the shares.But Lin Zuhui knew that in 2000, the market value of Citibank was nearly 2000 billion.

If you buy now, you will get more than 30 times the profit (it may raise funds halfway), and New Times Group may also sell part of it in advance!
Liang Zhenxun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Investing in Citibank is a long-term investment, plus it is an investment by New Era Group, so there is no need to hide it at all, and there is no need to set up any offshore company.

After buying the shares of Citibank this year, New Era Group also plans to buy office buildings in New York, USA, with an amount as high as 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, it is the largest loan amount, and a down payment of 2% is the best.

Lin Zuhui did some calculations, and the investment in the United States needs to cost 18 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not too much.

For the futures contract at the end of the year, New Era Group can also earn more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, this year's non-recurring profit of the New Times Group is indeed pitifully small, estimated to be only [-] million.

"Wait!" Lin Zuhui suddenly stopped Liang Zhenxun.

"Okay, boss!" Liang Zhenxun retreated obediently, and sat on the sofa.

Lin Zuhui took out a piece of paper, quickly analyzed while writing, and quickly decided on an investment.

"Take out 3 million Hong Kong dollars and use 20 times the leverage to short-sell the US dollar and yen! Do short-selling immediately and try to get it done this week!"

Liang Zhenxun was a little surprised, this investment is a temporary idea, the boss is so confident?

"No problem, I'll finish it as soon as possible!" Liang Zhenxun didn't ask too much because it was only 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Remember to prepare 3 million as a margin supplement to avoid liquidation!"

"Ok!"

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. He was also very happy to make some money for the company!

But now the dollar and yen have fallen to 135 points, I don't know if there is any risk!But he is not afraid of losing 5 million to the company. Anyway, he has gained [-] million in securities this year.

What's more, it will be almost 1992 soon, and logically it will not rise above 141 points again!

其实，林祖辉只知道一个参考信息‘1992年下跌120、1993下跌100、1995年下跌80’，至于中途有无反弹，他没有任何记忆。

Therefore, he feels that he has become a master (self-feeling) in foreign exchange speculation!

In the conference room of the ATV headquarters, Lin Zuhui was having a meeting with the top management.

Shi Nanshenghui reported: "After more than 8 months since ATV began broadcasting, the audience has officially exceeded 2000 million household users, covering 30 countries! However, recently, TVB is cooperating with 'Dongfang Satellite TV', and the two parties may reach an agreement!"

Lin Zuhui frowned slightly. This was something that did not happen in his previous life. Could it be that the rise of ATV and ATV gave Li Chaoren and Uncle Shao the opportunity to cooperate?
This year's New Year's Day, Asia Satellite TV has already launched, and then quickly attracted a large number of viewers with its wonderful dramas, movies, programs, and "The Voice of China" audition.

On the other hand, Li Chaoren's Oriental Satellite TV did a trial broadcast in May, which was a long way behind.Dragon TV has five channels, and some technical problems often occurred during the period.As for the four English channels, let's not talk about them for the time being, but the Chinese channel has been unable to attract viewers because of the reason of Asia Satellite TV.

At present, the five channels of Dragon TV cannot be fully utilized and broadcast programs!And the audience of its five channels is not as large as that of Asia Satellite TV.

Lin Zuhui said: "The possibility of cooperation between the two parties is very high, but we only need to do our own work well, so Dragon TV's Chinese channel is not a concern."

He didn't expect that Sixth Uncle Shao was actually growing old and strong, and he still wanted to compete with young people for the world!However, Li Chaoren has been unable to open up the situation on the Chinese channel for a long time, so he must seek a breakthrough in content.

This gave Lin Zuhui the idea of ​​going to the United States to buy a satellite, and then seeking to launch it in the Mainland.Establishing a satellite TV network is what Lin Zuhui wants to do, mainly because he is building a goal of "prospering Hong Kong with culture and culture".

However, with the combined cost of purchase and launch estimated at around $5 million, ATV is currently struggling.Moreover, Hong Kong culture has just started, and there is no need to be so urgent.

The best way is to go to the mainland to seek cooperation in another two years, and the two sides will jointly fund the purchase of American satellites and launch them.A satellite has [-] to [-] receivers, and Lin Zuhui doesn't even need a quarter, so there is no need to invest alone.

Seeing that the boss doesn't care about the cooperation between Superman Li and Uncle Shao, everyone is also encouraged. ATV's current strength is no longer something that can be shaken by TVB and Dragon TV.

"How is the filming of "Blue Life and Death"?" Lin Zuhui asked with concern.

Zhao Zhenqiang, the program director, immediately said: "We have been filming for more than ten days, and everything is going smoothly. There will be no problem with the broadcast early next year!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "In the future, we will shoot more Hong Kong TV dramas and broadcast them on satellite TV stations. Our satellite TV stations have such high advertising costs, it is worth continuing to invest in them!"

At present, Asia Satellite TV has signed advertising contracts with many large companies, and the monthly advertising fee is around 7000 million Hong Kong dollars (not pure profit), and it is still increasing.One satellite TV channel is more expensive than the advertising fee of two TV channels.

That being the case, it is natural to ensure sufficient TV dramas, movies, programs and other resources.

Li Cucumber's Dragon TV claims to be on 24 hours a day, but in fact it only has 8 hours of programs, and the rest of the time it broadcasts the same programs repeatedly.

And Asia Satellite TV is also non-stop 24 hours a day, but there are not many recurring programs, and they are all arranged in special time slots.

Zhao Zhenqiang immediately said with encouragement: "Okay!"

In fact, Lin Zuhui has already planned to adapt the South Korean drama "Dae Long" and will start filming next year!
This kind of historical drama is completely, very easy to adapt for China, which has a civilization of 5000 years.

Dragon TV, Li Chaoren is the chairman, Ma Shimin and Li Zeqi are the vice-chairmen, and Chen Qingxiang, who has many years of TV experience, is the chief executive.Li Zeqi is the actual head of Satellite TV, and Li Chaoren is just a vain job, letting his son do it; and his master Ma Shimin will not intervene in the affairs of Satellite TV because of Li Chaoren's face.

Moreover, Li Chaoren originally wanted to call it 'Asia Satellite TV', but Asia Satellite TV also leased two satellite receivers, and others got the satellite license a few months earlier than himself, so they had to change it to 'Dongfang Satellite TV'.

Li Zekai thought it was a good job, but under the strong offensive of Asia Satellite TV, the Chinese channel of Dragon TV could not be opened for a long time.Asia Satellite TV not only has strong program production capabilities, but also Shi Nansheng, a strong woman. In ATV's overseas promotion, Shi Nansheng's performance is indeed very impressive.

In the end, Li Zekai had no choice but to agree to Shao Liushu's proposal to co-organize a Chinese channel with TVB.

In the conference room, the two sides are finalizing the agreement.

Shao Liushu said with a smile: "If we cooperate with Dragon TV's Chinese channel, then we shouldn't be unable to broadcast Cantonese programs, so we should immediately apply to the Hong Kong government for unblocking!"

Li Chaoren and his son are overjoyed. The inability to broadcast Cantonese channels is the biggest obstacle. As long as the programs are mainly in Cantonese, they cannot be broadcast. This prevents many programs from Heung Kong from being broadcast on Dragon TV.

Li Zekai immediately said happily: "Uncle Liu is right. Dragon TV has been restricted. As a result, Xiangjiang's programs can hardly be introduced, and many viewers have been lost."

Li Chaoren suddenly thought of a question, and said to Shao Liushu: "Sixth brother, can the 'Hong Kong culture revitalize Hong Kong' really have an effect?"

Both are real estate developers, Lin Zuhui's reputation is better than him, and Lin Zuhui's influence is also higher than him, which makes Li Chaoren a little unconvinced.And after Lin Zuhui put forward the idea of ​​"prospering Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture", it greatly improved Lin Zuhui's prestige!In Li Chaoren's mind, he thought selfishly that this plan had better be a castle in the air.

Uncle Shao Liu was very honest, showing admiration on his face, and said: "At least one group and a female artist they launched has a very large influence in Asia! As far as I know, YG Entertainment under ATV has many such talents, They have created a culture. But don't worry, our TVB will soon launch the 'Hong Kong Stream Idol' team, and then we can increase our influence across Asia through satellite TV."

Li Chaoren's heart sank, he could design an industry for Xiangjiang at a young age, and he couldn't match his courage!
Li Zekai is very interested in these things, and plans to set up an entertainment company on Satellite TV, and try to cultivate some idols of his own company!The contract signed with TVB is only for two years, and Dragon TV's self-produced programs will definitely be greatly improved by then.Dragon TV has five channels, so it will definitely not lose to Asia TV, which has only one channel.

Father, let me defeat your competitor, Li Zekai thought so!
