Hong Kong's new giants

On August 8, the Hang Seng Index climbed above 7 points.

The market value of New Era Group reached a terrifying 4600 billion. Even Lin Zuhui was shocked.

Because the New Times Group is relatively "deductible". For example, last year's net profit was more than 280 billion, and the dividends in March were only about 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in dividends; moreover, in the past year, the New Times Group has hardly acquired land in Xiangjiang, and the loss is "heavy". .

But Lin Zuhui thought again, if the east is not bright and the west is bright, New Times Group's business in Europe and the United States in recent years has been very good.The number of Amazon shopping centers has reached 52, and the operating conditions are very satisfactory; the rent of office buildings in the United States has increased by 1.5% to 2.2% compared with when the property rights were purchased; Langham Hotel Group is developing very smoothly, and the morale of several luxury high-end hotel brands under its umbrella has greatly increased; Of course, the most important thing is that overseas securities investment is very ideal, especially the [-]% shares held by New Era Group in Microsoft and [-]% in Citigroup have been made public.

In addition to these good news, New Times Group is still the second largest land bank of Heung Kong Properties, currently reaching 2600 million square feet; the rental properties are firmly ranked first, about 2 times that of No. ); Mainland investment has entered the payback period, and it is the group with the largest investment.

Generally speaking, the asset value of New Era Group is around 7000 trillion Hong Kong dollars, and it is understandable that the market value is 4600 billion.The only regret is that HSBC has a market value of 4800 billion, which is still better than that of New Era Group.

However, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, New Era Group was definitely more "defensive" than any listed company, and was able to rebound immediately, and continued to climb to new highs in market value.

Of course, Lin Zuhui does not want the market value of New Era Group to be too high. After all, a high market value is not good for him. On the contrary, if the market value is low, he can still increase his holdings. It is not a problem to increase his holdings to more than 60% or 70%.

There are too many loopholes in the so-called 'reaching the comprehensive acquisition line'. After all, if the acquisition is initiated based on the highest stock price in the past six months, the stock price can still be far lower than the net assets, so if the shareholders don't sell it to you, naturally there is no real need for a comprehensive acquisition. acquisition.Just like the Changshi Group in the previous life, the market value was only less than 2000 billion in the end. During that period, Li Chaoren increased his holdings hundreds of times, and the proportion of holdings became larger and larger, so there is still no need to worry; On the contrary, it is more beneficial; in fact, it is very difficult for him to privatize.

Sun Lixin is the gold medal scout of ATV Group. She also has a hidden identity, which is Lin Zuhui's "Xunyan" assistant. Of course, this is only a secret between the two of them; she does some secret things for Lin Zuhui, and Lin Zuhui pays her some rewards. But he will not give her a small talk in the ATV Group, after all, Lin Zuhui has always been "public is public, private is private".

Some time ago, Sun Lixin was ordered to go to the University of Toronto in Canada to look for a girl named Lin Zhilin. She lived up to expectations and finally found it. Just as Lin Zhilin was about to graduate from university, she invited Lin Zhilin to come to ATV as an artist.

However, Lin Zhilin refused at the time. She hoped to find a job at the Taiwan Municipal Art Museum. Sun Lixin was not in a hurry. After all, if the boss really wanted to date this Taiwanese girl and met him once or twice, the Taiwanese girl would take the initiative to throw himself into his arms.You know, the boss has always kept Lin Zixia and Wang Zuxian who are so beautiful.

Therefore, Sun Lixin kept in touch with Lin Zhilin while reporting the situation to the boss.And the boss didn't seem to be in a hurry, he just let himself find an opportunity to facilitate the meeting between the two, and asked to be more natural.

Later, when Lin Zhilin failed to find a job at the Taiwan Art Museum (requiring a master's degree), her mind quickly changed. Sun Lixin immediately threw out an olive branch and arranged for Lin Zhilin to work as an administrative assistant at ATV Group. As for entering the entertainment industry, she had time to think about it slowly.

On Saturday, Lin Zuhui came to the ATV building.

Soon, the program director Zhao Zhenqiang came to his office. Now Lin Zuhui's presence in ATV is 'not high', mainly because Lin Zuhui himself avoids suspicion and ATV's current development is very good.Of course, Lin Zuhui has been paying attention to the development of ATV and has a complete plan in his heart.

"Boss, half of "Han Zhu Ge Ge" is broadcast in Hunan Province, which is almost certainly the highest record in history. The current average rating is 52%, and the highest is 65.2%." Zhao Zhenqiang reported excitedly.

Another reason why he is like this is that this show was hand-picked by the boss.Now the boss rarely interferes with ATV's content, so in order to cater to the boss, he naturally wanted to announce the good news.

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. ATV's "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" drama series was broadcast on ATV in April this year. Once it was broadcast, it set a ratings record in Xiangjiang and became a strong contender for ATV's annual ratings champion.Lin Zuhui has seen it, not to mention that it is somewhat similar to the filming of Qiong Yao drama, but the level of ATV filming is definitely higher than that of the previous life; no matter from the detailed structure, or from the excellent costumes and props, the previous life "Returning the Pearl" Ge Ge is the younger brother in front of this life.

This life's "Han Zhu Ge Ge" is a Hong Kong-style drama, which is obviously more popular. Simply put, it is like the advantages of Korean dramas in the previous life. "Han Zhu Ge Ge" also landed on Taiwan Island in June, which also set a record in the ratings.

Not surprisingly, this drama will be introduced to more countries, and of course the impact of the Asian financial crisis must also be taken into account; but fortunately, there are many fans of Hong Kong dramas in Asian countries, and local TV stations will also consider this factor.

"Overall, the development of Hong Kong dramas in recent years has been very good, and I am very satisfied!"

Zhao Zhenqiang immediately answered: "Mainly Hong Kong dramas such as "Love in Blue", "Lovers in Paris", "Full House", "My Sassy Girl", and "Talk about Yun Yin" were very popular. A good template. Afterwards, the PD, director, and screenwriter were deeply inspired, and ATV Hong Kong dramas have since formed a culture that has gradually flourished."

What he meant was that it was Lin Zuhui's good start that led to the development of today's Hong Kong dramas.

Lin Zuhui waved his hands and said with a smile: "ATV has a lot of talents, which is the cornerstone of the development of the Hong Kong Stream culture. By the way, do you think there is still a missing link in the Hong Kong Stream culture?"

Zhao Zhenqiang immediately concentrated his mind and thought about it carefully. Compared with when the boss didn't enter this industry, how is Xiangjiang's entertainment culture different from what it is now!
Hong Kong-style dramas, HK-POP (Hong Kong-style music), movies, and variety shows. It seems that they have covered them all. For a while, Zhao Zhenqiang could only shake his head.

"Boss, forgive me for being stupid, the Hong Kong culture seems to be complete."

Lin Zuhui smiled, everyone may think that variety shows such as "Millionaire", "The Voice of Hong Kong", "Chinese Idol", "Talent Show", "Wilderness Survival" and "Big Brother" are also "Hong Kong-style variety shows"!After all, it was ATV that started the history of reality talent shows in the world.

He said seriously: "If you think about it carefully, the stars cultivated by HK-POP are called 'Hong Kong idols'; the actors from Hong Kong dramas are also called 'Hong Kong idols'. Only "The Voice of Hong Kong", "The Voice of Hong Kong" Variety shows like "Chinese Idol" do not seem to be part of the system, but instead are worldwide variety shows."

Zhao Zhenqiang had a flash of inspiration and said: "The boss means that ATV should produce a type of variety show, which is closely related to Hong Kong idols and can help each other to achieve each other."

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "That's it!" After finishing speaking, he handed a document to Zhao Zhenqiang, and continued: "This is the outline of the new variety show "X-MAN". .I hope that it will officially land on ATV in the second half of next year."

Zhao Zhenqiang felt that his hands were shaking, because the boss was talking about a new type of variety show, that is, ATV was about to make history again, so how could it not be exciting.

He couldn't help watching it on the spot!

"The "X-MAN" reality show has one host, two sub-hosts (also captains), and each team has 7-8 members. Most of the members choose Hong Kong idols, and they can also choose models, actors, etc."

"At the beginning of the game, let the guests dance the popular HK-POP dance in recent years, which can be self-made"

"There are three parts in the game: riding in unity, of course, and long live the couple."

Zhao Zhenqiang only feels that he has entered a new cultural field. It turns out that variety shows can have so many ways to play. Let alone this show, it will greatly promote the distance between Hong Kong stars and fans; the games in it are really creative full marks.

For example, "Of course", the two teams each choose one person to PK, and take turns as the attacking side, while the other side has to answer "Of course", which is obviously very fun.For example, if the attacker says 'You look really ugly', if the opponent can't say 'Of course', the game will be lost; For example, if the attacker talks about scandals, of course, these must be 'variety effects', otherwise it will not be fun up.

Long live the couple warriors. It is the first game to choose a 'couple'. It is also very fun. In the end, the male-male couple is funny.

This information is actually quite detailed. Maybe Lin Zuhui has watched Korean dramas once or twice, but he was really fascinated by many Korean variety shows in his previous life. He watched them repeatedly, and the memory is really quite deep.Moreover, he actually knows many Korean stars from Han Zong.

"Boss, this information is so detailed, half a year is enough time for preparation!" Zhao Zhenqiang said excitedly.

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "Don't rush, this kind of variety show should be done slowly, I have an overall plan for 'Hong Kong Stream Culture'! If you are confident, then first organize a secret project team and make it as detailed as possible. Of course Well, there is a very important issue here, that is, the host, he must be able to play ugly, comedian background, outstanding hosting ability, good adaptability; the best, he must have a high quality, sunny and positive. As for the two deputy hosts and captains, one must be the host of a variety show, and the other can choose a non-permanent male or female artist. It doesn’t matter. In short, this type of variety show is very interactive, and there are information on it Remarks, study hard, this is a new variety show culture!"

Zhao Zhenqiang nodded seriously, he was also very curious, the boss has such a big career, and he still has his mind on this kind of thing.After all, even if the ATV Group has a market value of nearly 400 billion, it is only a small company under the boss.

To pick up girls?

Zhao Zhenqiang shook his head inwardly, because the boss' temperament, appearance, and wealth are only for women to take the initiative; the important thing is that the boss is still "clean" in ATV.

I can't figure it out, but Zhao Zhenqiang doesn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, the boss is staring at him to exchange ATV content. Once it is revealed that "Lin Zuhui participated in ATV content", it is obvious that he leaked the news, and it is all to offend the boss. up.

After Zhao Zhenqiang left, Lin Zuhui smiled.

Next year, South Korea's leader Kim Dae Jong will announce the grand policy of "Building the Nation with Culture", and Mr. Dong, the leader of Hong Kong, will also announce the grand policy of "Cultural Revitalization of Hong Kong". Ah copy.

The important thing is that plagiarism will never be on the stage. It is difficult for the Hallyu in this life to reappear in Korea, and you can only play by yourself; also, because Hong Kong has invaded Korea in recent years, there are a large number of fans of Hong Kong idols in Korea, so In the future, South Korea will have to face the massive invasion of foreign cultures.

At this time, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but feel proud. It was good that he liked Korean Wave in his previous life, but he later changed his ways and hated Bangziguo, and only liked Korean women.

In this life, let him wipe out the 'Korean Wave' with his own hands!

Moreover, the ATV Group supports nearly 8000 people, and Lin Zuhui has to work hard. Once these people lose their jobs, it will be a disaster for Xiangjiang.

After the financial crisis, the number of unemployed people in various countries is uncountable, and investment failure coupled with unemployment is simply worse.

Fortunately, about [-] Xiangjiang employees (excluding overseas employees) supported by Lin Zuhui will hardly lose their jobs. On the contrary, due to the increase in business, they will expand their scale.

"Boss, I'll refill your tea!"

A sweet and gentle voice sounded, bringing Lin Zuhui's thoughts back to reality.

Lin Zuhui looked at Lin Zhilin who walked in, and couldn't help showing a smile. This beauty was his favorite artist in his previous life, and even the "Japanese artist" who looked like her was his favorite artist; Come on, Boduo is just Lin Zhilin's copycat version, even so, Lin Zuhui likes to watch it.

"Zhiling, are you used to working at ATV?"

Lin Zhilin blushed, why did the boss suddenly call him so affectionate? She has been in ATV Group for almost a month, and she has met the world's richest man three times, and he comes to the company almost once a week.Even so, she was very happy.

"I'm used to it, my colleagues treat me very well!" Lin Zhilin said.

Lin Zuhui looked at Lin Zhilin, she was indeed a beauty, but she might not be in a 'perfect state', mainly because her temperament hadn't come up yet.He had met Lin Zhilin three times, but he didn't take any measures immediately, because since he had already met, he couldn't get out of his palm.

"Just get used to it, and I'm used to you serving me!" Lin Zuhui said seriously, but it was easy to give people ambiguity.

Sure enough, Lin Zhilin blushed slightly, she felt this way because she had thoughts about Lin Zuhui, maybe so.

However, Lin Zhilin seemed to have thought of something, and whispered, "Boss, I have something to report to you!"

Lin Zuhui motioned her to continue, looking at Lin Zhilin who was beside her. He was tall and well-figured, and most importantly, he was charming, which made him feel a sense of substitution.

"The University of Toronto agreed with me to continue studying for a master's degree, so..." Lin Zhilin said in a complicated way.If she is only an administrative assistant, she still wants to study for a master's degree, after all, the opportunity is rare; but if.
Lin Zuhui did not disappoint Lin Zhilin, and immediately said: "But what should I do if I can't do without you?"

These words are not as simple as ambiguity, they almost make things clear.

"Ah, what does the boss mean? Anyway, you only come to ATV occasionally, and it's the same for anyone who serves tea and water!" Lin Zhilin lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, her face was flushed, and her heart was full of anticipation.

Lin Zuhui got up, came to Lin Zhilin's side, put his hands on her shoulders, and said affectionately: "How about having dinner together tonight?"

Lin Zhilin raised her head. There is no need to say more about the charm of this man, and he can make her soar into the sky. She really has no reason to refuse, so she nodded casually and said, "Yes."

Lin Zuhui smiled, smiling like a spring breeze, without any discomfort.Even if he was thinking about dirty things in his heart, no one would think he was dirty. This was because of his appearance, temperament, status and other reasons.
