Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 517 [A good horse also has to turn around]

At noon, I had dinner with Guan Jiahui at the family restaurant - Furama Hotel.

The current occupancy rate of Furama Hotel is about 90%, and the annual profit is about 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The return rate is only about 6% of that of the office building. Therefore, it is reasonable to demolish and rebuild the office building after the millennium.

Of course, the Lin family cannot live without a five-star hotel in Central, which would be very inconvenient.

There are at least two five-star hotels on top of the Central Station of the Airport Railway, so Lin Zuhui is not worried.

In the late 80s, a five-star hotel appeared in Xiangjiang, which only occupied part of the floor of a skyscraper, such as the two five-star hotels in the Pacific Center in Admiralty.The advantage of this five-star hotel is 'high', and the room has a good view.Of course, this is also related to Xiangjiang Central.

Lin Zuhui and Guan Jiahui were dining in the hotel restaurant. Guan Jiahui's eyes and behavior were all expressions of admiration and admiration for his man, so that Lin Zuhui took it for granted.

"Monica asked me to go to Italy, and I happened to be on a business trip to Europe again!" Guan Jiahui blinked her big eyes, and her beautiful eyebrows moved very agilely.

Monica also came to Xiangjiang last month to deliver guns. Lin Zuhui asked Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin to take her to Xiangjiang. It seems that there is a comrade-in-arms.

"Then let's go," Lin Zuhui said.

These women all like to travel and go abroad at least ten times a year.

Like Wang Zuxian, she will take her children to Canada for vacation recently to get together with her parents.

Then, Lin Zuhui told about the Villa No. 35 in Deep Water Bay, and Guan Jiahui was suddenly full of surprises.However, when she heard that [-] million yuan was required, Guan Jiahui clicked her tongue, it was a huge investment.

"Now more than 400 million luxury houses are tightened by the bank, so even if it is calculated at 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, the down payment needs to be at least 4% - 1 million. I have no money, husband!"

In the first half of the year, the price of luxury houses rose sharply, which led to the rise of ordinary houses, so the Hong Kong government took action, that is, to let the banks tighten the mortgage for luxury houses above 400 million.

Seeing Guan Jiahui acting like a little girl, Lin Zuhui didn't get goosebumps, the two are still in love.And while this woman is acting like a baby, she also loves money by nature.

"How much down payment can you get together?"

"5000 million! Unless those ordinary houses are sold, I can buy them with all the money."

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "I will lend you 6000 million, and you can buy it with a loan first. As for when the ordinary house will be sold, I will arrange for you later!"

Guan Jiahui continued to pretend to be poor: "Once the ordinary house is sold, I will have to pay a lot less rent. At that time, the housing mortgages in Singapore and Thailand will be so overwhelming that I can't breathe."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "I will arrange more for you next year, so what's the rush!"

Guan Jiahui smiled suddenly, extremely elegant, as if she was talking about romance, not about things full of money.

In her opinion, it has been 1.5 million (invested in Microsoft) for two consecutive years. If more arrangements are made next year, it may be [-] million, so she is happy.

Lin Zuhui couldn't bear it, and said to Guan Jiahui: "I will lend you 1 million, and you will take another 5000 million to buy Henderson Land shares."

Lin Zuhui is 100% sure about buying Henderson shares.

First, the broader market will rise by 4%, currently over 7300 points, and will reach over 11000 points by the end of the year, a surge of more than 100% throughout the year.

Second, the market value of Henderson Land is only in the early 350 billion, which is far below the net asset value (at least 900 billion net value), and the market value of Henderson Land is long-term low.It's hard to get investors to favor a company that doesn't pay a dividend, or pay a small amount, without revaluing its assets.

Third, Hengjin is about to publish its annual report (profits rose by at least 1992% in 1993/50), and Lee Shau Kee will definitely increase the market value (distribute high dividends and revaluate assets) in the case of the stock market skyrocketing, and then rights issue Raise funds, issue bonds, and raise a large amount of funds.

Combining these reasons, the stock of Hengjin Real Estate will increase by more than 100% in the next four months.

Guan Jiahui's eyes lit up, and she understood that this was a small trouble for her, and immediately said: "Thank you husband! Don't worry, if you make money, I will pay you back the 1 million; moreover, I will never talk about buying Henderson Land shares." It was you who told me."

He's still a little clever, if he dares to leak it out, Lin Zuhui won't be able to deal with such small matters in the future.

However, Lin Zuhui still said calmly: "I didn't say it at first, it's your own decision! The borrowed money must be returned to me as soon as possible."

Guan Jiahui gave Lin Zuhui a coquettish look. She knew that Lin Zuhui was not reluctant to part with 1 million, but worried about causing family conflicts.

"Well, I dare to mess around!"

Three days later, Guan Jiahui's investment company won Deep Water Bay No. 2.65 at a price of 35 million.The reporters moved upon hearing the news, but this time the transaction was relatively confidential, and it was purchased by Guan Jiahui's investment company, so the reporters returned without success.

In the first ten days of August, Hengjin Investment's foreign exchange position was successfully closed, with a profit of 8 billion and a withdrawal of funds of 56 billion;
At the same time, Octopus Bank's gold spot positions were also closed, with a profit of 16 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was less than expected, because London gold fell rapidly after rising to 409 US dollars per ounce.

As for the liquidation of spot positions, Xiangjiang's plate is not too big, and the daily trading volume is only three to four tons.

The daily trading volume of three to four tons does not mean that there is so much gold. Many gold bars are traded repeatedly, so it is really difficult to close the spot position.Fortunately, the cost of Octopus Bank is low, even if it falls further, it can still make a lot of money.

Because of the massive shipments of Octopus Bank, the spot gold price of Xiangjiang was much lower than that of London gold, causing a lot of commotion.

But who cares!
The "accumulated loss" of Octopus Bank has been reduced to 21 billion Hong Kong dollars (when it was taken over, the accumulated losses of the two banks were more than 50 billion), and it is expected that all losses will be turned into profits in 1994, which is enough to shock the industry.

Originally, according to market commentators and experts, Octopus Bank needed to wipe out its accumulated losses in 1997. This was due to Lin Zuhui's good reputation.

In fact, these people completely underestimated Lin Zuhui's strength and reputation. Octopus Bank's deposits have been rising steadily, and its loan business is also doing well.Even without this investment in spot gold, Octopus Bank would have turned a profit in 1996 ahead of schedule.

At this time, the revenue and net profit of Octopus Bank, if calculated as a listed company, should be able to be squeezed into the ranks of blue chips.

After a brief inspection of the Octopus Bank, Lin Zuhui handed over the matter to the management. It is not the time to "lose"; a bank must have a reputation, and reputation is accumulated over a long period of time, so Octopus Bank is still step by step development of.

DreamWorks.

Lin Zuhui, who hasn’t been to DreamWorks for a long time, will always find time to visit recently to check the preparation progress of “Resident Evil”; DreamWorks is equivalent to a transformation, and will strive towards the benchmark of Xiangjiang Films in the future, and may shoot once or twice a year Excellent movie.

If it is a good movie, it will never lose money; to give a simple example, Li Lianjie’s filming of Fist of Fury in his previous life, Xiangjiang’s box office was only 1500 million Hong Kong dollars, but it sold DVDs and Blu-rays in Europe and the United States, and the sales volume was a full 1600 million U.S. dollars. .

Therefore, the income of a film comes from multiple channels; as long as it is a good work, not to mention making money, there is still no problem with capital preservation.

Lin Zuhui looked at the manuscript in his hand and said, "The script is almost done, and I'm quite satisfied. Is the budget out yet?"

Pan Cheng immediately said: "According to your request, it is estimated to be 1200 million US dollars. There is no exact budget yet, but the difference will not be too much."

Almost, the first part of Hollywood's "Resident Evil" in the previous life was almost 4000 million US dollars.But that is the 21st century, and with the high salaries in the United States, it can be filmed for 1200 million US dollars now, and it can be seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

However, Lin Zuhui still said: "The shooting should be better, and it's okay if the budget is exceeded. After all, this is our first transformational work. I'm not afraid of losing money, but I'm afraid of embarrassment."

Pan Cheng nodded and said, "Well, for props and special effects, we also hired an American team as a staff member, which will definitely change the bad impression of Xiangjiang science fiction films."

Lin Zuhui asked again: "How much money is there in the account, is it not enough?"

Pan Cheng said: "There is only 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, and I have to apply to the group!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. With his greeting, the finance manager would not say anything else.

While the two were chatting, the assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Miss Yuan is here!"

Then, I saw Yuan Liangliang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, walk in, with a complicated expression on her face.

Seeing that Pan Cheng was about to leave, Lin Zuhui motioned him not to leave, and called Yuan Liangliang to sit on the sofa.

"Manager Pan, what do you think of Ms. Yuan Liangliang as the heroine?"

Pan Cheng took a serious look and said, "Miss Yuan really looks good with short hair, and her overall image is good. I think it suits her well."

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll let her contact you later!"

"Okay, boss!"

After Pan Cheng left, Yuan Liangliang immediately said, "What heroine? Why don't you ask me what I mean?"

Lin Zuhui said casually, "Are you talking about a boyfriend yet?"

Yuan Liangliang hesitated, and then said after a while: "Why are you asking this? No. Do you want me to come back to you?" After speaking, she looked at Lin Zuhui seriously, hoping that this man would ask her to get back together.

Lin Zuhui said, "Oh, I'm just asking!"

"You!" Yuan Liangliang said angrily.

Lin Zuhui laughed. He knew that Yuan Liangliang might have a boyfriend now, and it was Zhang Zhiling!

After making a joke, Lin Zuhui said seriously: "Our company wants to make a big-budget movie, so we want you to be the heroine."

Yuan Liangliang immediately became interested and asked, "What movie? How big is the production?"

Lin Zuhui said: "You promise me first!"

Yuan Liangliang immediately said vigilantly: "I don't even know what movie it is, how can I promise you, just in case you." I couldn't say the rest, after all, what Lin Zuhui cheated on her.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "A sci-fi movie with an investment of 1500 million US dollars may be released in Hollywood, and it will be a series of movies. If you can achieve our expected results, you will be able to enter Hollywood in the future."

If someone else said this, Yuan Liangliang would definitely think it was a liar, but when Lin Zuhui said it, she really believed it.

"It's so powerful! Of course I promise you, we have a relationship anyway!"

Lin Zuhui's heart fluttered for a moment, who is not Cao thief!

However, he continued: "It's an action sci-fi movie, you have to suffer a lot, I hope you can stick to it."

Yuan Liangliang's facial expression hurt immediately, but looking at Lin Zuhui again, this man treats her very well, he has been with her for more than half a year, mixed up with a mansion worth tens of millions and many valuable gifts, so she is very fond of him, even if it is a reunion , It's just a matter of this man's words.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Lin Zuhui asked curiously: "You don't ask about the salary?"

"You are not short of money"

Makes sense!
At this time, Lin Zuhui looked at Yuan Liangliang and remembered the past. He had never turned back.But he suddenly remembered Alice's bonus, and felt a little restless.

Why should a Hollywood actress who has been trained by herself make it cheaper for others!

Seeing Lin Zuhui looking at her, Yuan Liangliang immediately looked up proudly. In her opinion, this man is much more attractive.

Lin Zuhui was interested in seeing Yuan Liangliang. He sat beside Yuan Liangliang and tentatively put his arms around his waist.

Comfortable, Miss Hong Kong is still good!

He gave the script of "Resident Evil" to Yuan Liangliang and said, "Look at it! This is really a big production, maybe it will make you famous all over Asia, and even enter Hollywood!"

There is no doubt about Yuan Liangliang's acting skills. In "New Love", which will be released soon this year, she will win the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards and become the youngest actress to remain. In her previous life, she also won the Academy Award for Best Actress with "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" up.

This script was still attractive to Yuan Liangliang, so much so that Lin Zuhui's hand stuck into her clothes, she didn't even know it.

After a long time, Yuan Liangliang shyly said: "It's really back together, don't play tricks on me this time!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I want you to focus on your career and not to fall in love, so the relationship between the two of us is kept secret. I praise you as the pinnacle of Chinese actresses. You and I maintain a lover relationship, but don't make troubles in the city." .” I added in my heart that I will find an honest man to marry in the future.

Yuan Liangliang nodded, she missed Lin Zuhui's strength and generous financial resources very much.

Next, Lin Zuhui became more and more excited, as if thinking of Alice's body, he pressed Yuan Liangliang on the sofa.

"Don't be here, you will be in trouble if someone sees you!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Don't worry, I hardly come to this office, it is impossible for the assistant to let people in."

"woohoo"

What happened next became so intense that both of them were released.

That's how it happened. In fact, Lin Zuhui also considered this female role at the beginning. First, she had to be satisfied with short hair, and second, she had to be beautiful and young.

The reason why I am young is that assuming the film is successful, I can't shoot one every two years, and I have to shoot five films in ten years.
