"The boss is bad, something serious is going to happen!"

A staff member walked into Lu Zhangji's office panting, with a horrified expression on his face.

Lu Zhangji felt a thump in his heart, but he tried his best to maintain the dignity of his boss.

"What's the fuss about? There's no city government at all!"

The clerk didn't know where to start. He paused for several seconds before reacting and handed a few GOOD cards to Lu Zhangji.

"Boss, a GOOD card like this suddenly appeared on the market!"

Lu Zhangji took it and looked at it, his face slightly changed, because the words 'Produced by GOOD' and 'Genuinely Authorized' on the back were very eye-catching, it seemed that Wanhui Publishing House was going to punish everyone.

As long as the words "Produced by GOOD" are printed, these copycat merchants have to consider the risks. After all, if they are caught, it will be a clear plagiarism and will be illegal.

Lu Zhangji suddenly felt a pang in his heart. This was a net profit of 250,000 yuan per month. Why should he back down?

"Boss, boss!"

Suddenly, another employee walked in with a magazine in his hand and a panic expression.

Lu Zhangji suddenly felt bad again!

"whats the matter?"

The employee handed over the new issue of "GOOD" magazine, and then said: "There is news here. It is about GOOD magazine that has obtained exclusive authorization for the card portraits of nearly a hundred celebrities, and calls on everyone to boycott copycat cards. I heard that many students are now

Start refusing to buy celebrity cards not issued by GOOD magazines!"

Lu Zhangji's mood fell instantly. The students had already made their choice, which meant that it was irreversible.

"I understand, let me think of a solution!" Lu Zhangji was still a little unwilling.

"Boss, boss, it's not good!"

"It's not over yet!"

When the third employee walked into Lu Zhangji's office screaming, his emotions finally exploded.

The clerk who came in looked confused, but he didn't dare to say anything and quickly handed over a piece of information.

"Boss, we have been sued. This is a summons from the court!"

Lu Zhangji immediately became bald and picked up the summons in fear. Wanhui Publishing House was very wealthy and powerful. Once he got serious, he would shed his skin even if he died.

What's more, he had heard of Lin Zuhui's reputation. He was the master who even the Ma family, an established family, dared to attack. He forced the Ma family to spend nearly 500 million to protect the country. He also heard that the head of the Ma family, Ma Qingwei, was getting divorced.

Lu Zhangji also knew that Wanhui Publishing House was definitely not the one suing everyone for plagiarism. He must have been caught as a role model!

What bad luck!

"Why are you panicking? Go back to work!" Lu Zhangji finally calmed down and arranged for the three mourners to go to work.

After the three staff members left, Lu Zhangji said: "I don't believe they can sue me! Humph!"

At this point, Lu Zhangji can only respond to the lawsuit. He believes that the problem is not big, and the most he can do is fine him a small amount of money. After all, he has already made millions from "GOOD", so a fine of several hundred thousand is acceptable.

In just one week, Wanhui Publishing House successfully handled the copycat card matter.

Of course, the follow-up rights protection is still going on, and Wanhui Publishing House will spend a lot of money to safeguard its rights and interests.

Compared with rights protection funds, the profit growth of Wanhui Publishing House is more important, and the small amount of money for rights protection is not worth mentioning.

The rights protection funds in the later stage were mainly used to secretly investigate whether any printing house dared to print "Produced by GOOD" without authorization. As long as there is evidence, the police can be notified to arrest the person, which is easier to deal with.

As for copycats of "GOOD" magazine, it is generally difficult to defend their rights. After all, as long as the content is not copied, it is difficult to be caught.

The reason why Lin Zuhui dealt with the copycat issue seriously this time was because a "backdoor listing" was imminent and he did not allow any surprises.

The three magazines of Wanhui Publishing House are assets that are "backdoor listed". Any accidents in each magazine can affect the valuation.

"Gene Era"

"FHM" has high advertising costs, high sales, and great influence; "GOOD" has high profits, especially from card sales; "Capital" is a financial magazine. Although its sales volume is only more than 30,000, it is in the market because it is authorized by Forbes in the United States.

It has already occupied a place among Hong Kong financial magazines.

Once these three magazines are listed on the backdoor, Lin Zuhui will be able to make full use of the stock market and quickly complete his media empire. By then, his status in Hong Kong will be as good as that of the established tycoons.

The real estate group is his wealth, and the media empire is his influence. A two-pronged approach is the best development plan.

...

Exchange Square is located on the Central Ferry Terminal site. It belongs to the "King of Land" in Hong Kong. In 1981, it was purchased by Land for a world record of 4.75 billion. Because of this project, Land once became the "King of Debt" in Hong Kong.

The total debt owed is 15 billion yuan, and the Exchange Square land and construction costs are more than 8 billion yuan.

At that time, Land's big projects included the old Miramar Hotel Wing (RMB 3 billion) and the huge villa complex project in Baibishan (RMB 2 billion). Because Land was too aggressive, it almost went bankrupt and also lost the Hong Kong Electric Group Company.

The gain outweighs the loss!

Land sold HK Electric Group at a price of 2.9 billion, but since the mid-to-late 1980s, HK Electric Group's annual net profit has exceeded 1.2 billion. Calculated based on Land's holding of 35%, it only takes 5 years for Land to

Can earn back 2.9 billion.

Not to mention, the old Ap Lei Chau power plant owned by Hong Kong Electric is the land of a large housing estate. That land alone is worth several billion.

Of course, that doesn't mean selling Exchange Square, which is a proper cash cow after all, but rather clearing out other properties.

Exchange Square is completed in two phases. The first phase is two 52-story buildings, and the second phase is a 36-story building and a shopping mall.

At present, the two buildings in the first phase of Exchange Square have been completed and put into use.

After the first phase of Exchange Square is put into use, the lower floors will be used for shopping malls, and the upper floors will be office buildings and some high-end restaurants and hotel rentals.

...

Exchange Square, in a private room of a high-end restaurant.

Lin Zuhui and Kwan Jiahui were having dinner with Dickson Poon and Michelle Yeoh.

When Pan Disheng saw Guan Jiahui holding Lin Zuhui's arm, the expression on his face was a little stunned.

Guan Jiahui, a woman whose temperament and courage have become even better since joining Lin Zuhui, joked: "Master Pan, he saw that there are other girls holding his arms like me!"

Pan Dickson said quickly: "No, no, brothers and sisters, don't get me wrong. I'm just amazed that you are so beautiful. No wonder you were called 'the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong' by the magazine. You really deserve your reputation."

Lin Zuhui looked at Michelle Yeoh and said in surprise: "Ms. Yang is indeed the Miss Malaysia champion. You are much more beautiful than on TV!"

Of course, it's flattery. Michelle Yeoh can only say that she has taste and is more unique than the stereotyped beauties of later generations. Besides, she doesn't rely on her looks to survive in the entertainment industry.

Michelle Yeoh comes from a famous family. Compared to Kwan Jiahui's charm and playfulness, she just said calmly and generously: "Thank you Lin Sheng for the compliment!"

As soon as the men meet, they compliment each other's girlfriends on how beautiful they are, which is obviously more suitable for parties to open up the situation.

After the four of them sat down, they became familiar with each other.

During the meal, Lin Zuhui got down to business: "Brother Pan, we want to enter the fashion brand retail industry, so we plan to learn from you or invite you to join us!"

Dickson Poon is the king of famous brands in Hong Kong, and owns the franchise rights of many foreign famous brands (Hong Kong). After Dickson was founded and listed, it has been prosperous. It has a record of being in the top 30 of Hong Kong's market value, and it is still one of the top 100 brands in Hong Kong.

"Do you want to do a boutique store?" Pan Dickson asked generously. This business does not conflict with his business. After all, what he does is a franchise, and it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to take over the management rights.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "You have robbed all the boutiques. If I build a boutique again, wouldn't I be a foil for you? What I want to do is a fashionable fashion retail chain, mainly selling some first-class European and American brands, targeting

We are targeting young people and students to create a fashionable and cutting-edge retail brand.”

When Pan Disheng heard this, his eyes lit up. He thought this business was very promising and it did not overlap with his own business.

"Brother, you are awesome! With your magazines and film company, especially the magazine "GOOD", you are even more powerful!"

Lin Zuhui said in his heart, this is the path that the predecessors have walked, I am just trying it again, how could it not be successful!

After he decided to enter the clothing industry, he quickly thought of a successful example, which was the group owned by Qiu Shuzhen's husband Shen Jiawei in his previous life. Although the group's model has limited growth and its highest market value is only 2 billion, it is easy to get started.

!

As for setting up his own clothing brand, Lin Zuhui plans to let Guan Jiahui get familiar with this business before considering setting up a women's clothing brand to test the waters; in this way, it can ensure a gradual cycle and no losses.

If it grows according to Lin Zuhui's expectations, this group will be able to enter fast-selling chain clothing stores, high-end men's and women's clothing, sports brands, etc. in the future, which will definitely have great prospects.

The future of the clothing industry is the same as that of the catering industry, which will never go out of style. Once the group grows, the loss of a certain brand will not affect the operations of the entire group.

Lin Zuhui said to the interested Pan Dickson: "Since Brother Pan is interested in this trendy clothing retail store brand, I can give you 30% of the shares to welcome you to join and use your experience to develop."

This is just a retail fashion brand under his own banner, not the entirety of his clothing empire. In the future, he will set up his own clothing brand separately. The key is that Lin Zuhui hopes to have a professional person to work with him, which can save a lot of energy.

His main focus is still on real estate.

Pan Disheng smiled and said: "If I can work with Brother Lin, I will do it no matter what business he does!"

He was sure that Lin Zuhui would achieve great things in the future. If he made friends at this time, the return on investment would be great.

Lin Zuhui responded: "To be precise, Jiahui is the founder of this brand. I will only help her behind the scenes!"

He plans to hold 50% of the shares himself, and he will hold the shares in the form of an offshore company. He does not seek fame but reality; Guan Jiahui is the spokesperson of the brand and the apparent boss.

Of course, this is still limited to this fashion retail brand, let’s talk about other clothing brands in the future!

Dickson Poon suddenly felt like they were in love with each other. He spent 15 million for Michelle Yeoh and invited Fatty Hong to shoot three movies just to chase girls.

Michelle Yeoh also marveled at Lin Zuhui's handiwork and his willingness to give women such a "huge" career!

When Guan Jiahui heard that business was being discussed, she listened and memorized it silently like a good student; although she knew that Lin Zuhui would support her and now had the support of seniors in the industry, she was still worried that things would get messed up.

She thinks this is a very good career, so she has already been interested in it. Recently, she has been a little absent-minded while filming.
