Chapter 240~241 [Large-scale Rights Issue Fundraising](1/2)
Monday, July 20th.
Lin Zuhui came to the office of New Era Real Estate, picked up the newspaper on his desk and read it as usual.
‘Oral/Huang Yulang’, ‘Transcript/Zha Xiaoxin’, ‘In-depth answers to 80 sharp questions, one question and one answer, exciting and fulfilling’
Cha Xiaoxin is an entertainment reporter and editor for Ming Pao Weekly, and is considered a very famous female entertainment reporter in Hong Kong.
Faced with this fierce public opinion, Huang Yulang had no intention of coming out for an interview, but he had to stand up. Because now the whole of Hong Kong knows that Huang Yulang is the most suspected.
Lin Zuhui looked at the eighty questions and answers and found them quite interesting!
"How many comics are sold per month by the Yulang Group?"
"Almost 2 million copies every month"
"According to statistics, the comics produced by the Yuk Lang Group account for 80% of the total in Hong Kong, right?"
"My statistics are 65%"
"Which companies belong to the remaining 35%?"
"There is Shangguan Xiaobao's Kuang Company Painting Club, this year's "Wind and Cloud" comic publication, and some others."
"Have all those people served in Yulang Institution?"
"It can be said that most of them have served in Yulang Group, including Shangguan Xiaobao, Xiao Wei, etc."
"Everyone left safely? (asked in a joking tone)"
"(Answering with a serious face) We have contacts. For example, Shangguan Xiaobao, the second largest comics dealer in Hong Kong, worked for Yulang Agency for a few years and then went out to start his own company. Our relationship remains good and we will meet up to discuss it soon.
Let’s take a look at the general trends in the art world..."
"What are the five best-selling comics of Yulang Agency? Please list them accordingly?"
"The first is Chinese Heroes, the second is Dragon Tiger Gate, and the ones written down are Tathagata Palm, Drunken Master, and Yulang Comic Weekly (the second to fifth ones are written by Huang Yulang)"
In fact, Lin Zuhui is not familiar with the comic industry. This is the first time I know about this, so I find it quite interesting.
Then look down:
"Have you read the reports from outside?"
"Watching"
"There are many hints between the lines that you are involved in this matter. Will you take legal action?"
"There are many outside reports that are misleading. I think it is very unfair to Yulang. Anyone with a brain would ask: Would Huang Yulang do this? I will reserve all rights to pursue legal action."
"Who do you think is responsible for the Ma Rongcheng incident?"
"This is a criminal case, and it is not convenient for me to say anything. Now the rumors outside will also hurt us, and I don't want to hurt anyone. What's more, the police have already achieved results, and Wanhui Media is behind Ma Rongcheng.
Barrister, I believe he will get justice."
"The outside world thinks that Ma Rongcheng makes a lot of money for you?"
"The money he earns accounts for 30% of Yulang Organization. Frankly speaking, today I am also considered a billionaire, and I am also afraid that others will kill me, right? If I instruct others to kill him, the first thing will affect me.
Reputation, the second thing is that I am afraid of revenge. My environment today is good, I cherish everything I have now and my own life. If I do such a thing, it will be a great harm to myself."
Lin Zuhui showed a faint smile. He didn't care who the mastermind was, he only cared about how it benefited him.
Therefore, even if Huang Yulang did not instruct him, Lin Zuhui would still attract dirty water to Huang Yulang.
He only knew that the stock market crash was coming soon, and Huang Yulang was about to be in disaster.
It is reported that Huang Yulang has spent a lot of money to speculate in stocks!
After a while, Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and said: "Boss, all the 750 million funds raised by New Era Real Estate from the rights issue last week have been received."
Lin Zuhui nodded and said immediately: "Immediately prepare a 10% rights issue for Chinese Real Estate (market value 5 billion) and a 10% rights issue for Cathay City (market value 1.5 billion)."
Liang Zhenxun said: "Well, the preparations were almost completed last week. I plan to arrange for the two companies to raise funds through rights issues at the same time this Wednesday!"
"Yes! At the beginning of next month, the two companies will do another rights issue to raise funds. In this way, Chinese Real Estate will have more than 1.1 billion more in its account, and Cathay City will have more than 300 million more. The debts of these two companies will be worry-free. "
Cathay City has a debt of 2 billion and raised more than 300 million through a rights issue. The blue-chip stocks will cash out another 700 million, which will reduce half of the debt. In September, Cathay City will cash out another 20% of the Furama Hotel, which is expected to earn 300-400 million; and At the same time, it will conduct the last rights issue to raise funds of 200 million; therefore, the company will have no worries.
As for the privatization of Furama Hotel after the stock market crash, Lin Zuhui plans to cooperate with the family and Cathay City to privatize it together.
Chinese Real Estate has a debt of 2.5 billion, and this time it raised a total of 1.15 billion. In addition, about 550 million was withdrawn from the futures contract, and the debt was only 800 million in an instant. Likewise, this company has no worries.
Of course, starting from September, the New Era Real Estate Department will have to launch a second round of rights issue to raise funds.
"Okay, I'll get busy first!"
"kindness"
After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui felt a pain in his face. The 500 million he had just pledged to borrow crocodile shirts was gone in the blink of an eye.
New Era Real Estate raised 750 million yuan from its rights issue, and as the major shareholder (45%), he fully subscribed, spending 340 million yuan.
Crocodile Shirt also raised 150 million through a rights issue last week. As a major shareholder (73.5%), he fully subscribed and spent 150 million.
The citizens of Xiangjiang were all stunned. Everyone was curious about where Lin Zuhui's personal funds came from. Fortunately, "Tian Tian Daily" took the initiative to expose that Lin Zuhui was the "debt king" in Xiangjiang. He mortgaged the shares of all listed companies and had a personal debt of more than 2 billion (2.25 billion). ), is the largest individual creditor in Hong Kong.
This was Lin Zuhui's instruction. He wanted to "pretend to be poor" so as not to be taken as a piece of meat.
...
The next day.
Listed company Crocodile Shirt announced that it has officially changed its name to Crocodile Group (Leit Group), and Crocodile Shirt is operated as one of its brands; at the same time, Leit Group acquired 'i.t Fashion Retail' to enter the boutique retail field, and Leit Group acquired 'Lukfook Jewelry' to enter the jewelry field. field.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.
After all, Tycoon Lin is Tycoon Lin, and he is developing towards a large group!
In the conference room of Leit Group, senior executives of various brands gathered together. The most eye-catching ones were of course the three girls, Kwan Jiahui, Wang Zuxian, and Cai Ning; especially Kwan Jiahui and Wang Zuxian, who were Lin Zuhui's admitted girlfriends and who were once in the entertainment industry. star.
It is also because the Leit Group has not developed yet, and the senior executives of these sub-brands are still qualified to hold group meetings. If the Leit Group has dozens of sub-brands in the future, naturally everything will have to be managed by the top management of the group.
This meeting was very simple. Lin Zuhui planned the development of three brands. There was nothing much to say about i.t and Lukfook Jewelry, both of which focused on opening branches.
When it was Crocodile Shirt's turn, Lin Zuhui said: "Crocodile Shirt immediately launched the 'Billion Plan'. Currently, the company still has 100 million in funds (the remaining 70 million from the rights issue and 30 million from the account flow), which is enough to serve as start-up capital.
.The remaining funds will be raised through loans and rights issues in the future. I will have a sum of funds in September, and subsequent funds will be continuously replenished...Now, I would like to ask President Chen to talk about the expansion plan of Crocodile Shirts.
.”
Everyone listened attentively. Chen Shiwen had become Lin Zuhui's deputy and served as the president of leit.
Chen Shiwen took over the topic and said: "This billion-dollar plan covers a wide range of areas, but it is mainly divided into three areas of expansion, the mainland, Hong Kong, and Japan. In Japan's market, crocodile shirts have been initially established, and this time it needs to be expanded...
.... We have just set sail in the mainland market. This year we will mainly focus on touring exhibitions, research, publicity, and retail... Xiangjiang needs a lot of investment to expand factories, increase designers, and increase retail stores..."
He spoke very generally, and soon turned the topic to Huang Qisong, Chen Xing and others. Everyone took turns giving reports, which made the people in the conference room excited.
Lin Zuhui finally concluded: "August and September are our first phase. This phase is to conduct research and formulate specific plans; then, the plan will be officially launched. In this way, this will allow the company to raise funds."
Everyone nodded, it does take time to conduct research, and it also takes time to raise funds.
.....
That night, Lin Zuhui and the four women gathered for dinner, and these women became curious and asked.
Wang Lingyin asked: "Brother Hui, you must be under a lot of financial pressure! This month you have raised 500 million from the rights issue alone. Do you want to borrow some from my father?"
She has been admitted to the University of Hong Kong and has been interning in the office of New Era Real Estate during the summer vacation and participated in meetings of the entire New Era Real Estate department.
Lin Zuyao smiled and said: "If I dare to borrow so much money, I must have a secret funding channel, so don't worry about it!"
Although he arranged for Wang Lingyin to go to New Era for internship, it was actually just a precaution, and Wang Lingyin would not participate in the management of New Era.
However, Guan Jiahui was worried about her own brand and asked: "Then when will we establish our own brand?"
Lin Zuhui said unceremoniously: "This is already a group matter, so it's not something you, the vice president of a sub-brand, can ask!" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.
Guan Jiahui immediately served her with pink fists. Lin Zuhui was worried about her body which was more than five months pregnant and would not hide away.
"It's disgusting. I just want to ask. Isn't it okay?"
"Haha, I'm kidding you! i.t will also be able to have its own brand in the future, which can be regarded as the grand brand of the group. When it is established, I suggest that it only makes sense to wait until after you give birth to your baby next year to complete it yourself!"
Guan Jiahui is indeed happy. She is now an expert in the clothing industry and loves this profession.
In fact, Lin Zuhui also has a big plan, which is to establish a fashionable and casual clothing brand to compete with brands such as Giordano and Bossron. Because there is a huge gap in clothing in the mainland and the potential is also very large. This casual fashion brand is just right.
You can share a big bonus.
In the 1990s, there were very few domestic casual fashion brands. Hong Kong-owned brands quickly filled the market gap and enjoyed the first wave of dividends from China's economic boom after the reform and opening up.
When Hong Kong-funded brands went north to plunder, the savvy Zhejiang people couldn't sit still, especially the Ningbo and Wenzhou people, such as Romon, Semir, Youngor, etc.
Therefore, Lin Zuhui will rely on the resources of crocodile shirts to incubate a fashion and leisure brand, just in time to join this wave of brands. This brand is specifically targeted at the Asian market, especially the mainland market.
In addition, he will also set up a fast-selling brand to compete with Uniqlo, Zara, etc. Since he only cares about the general direction, he will naturally have the talents to complete these for himself.
