Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Asia Television.

In the chairman's office, Lin Baicheng was looking at a document, with several documents stacked next to it.

The task Lin Baicheng originally gave to Huang Xizhao was to give him actor information from the three major TV stations. Huang Xizhao has already completed it. The documents in his hand and on the table are all actor information.

These actor information are accompanied by photos of the actors and a brief introduction of the actors. Even the works they have participated in and the roles they have played are marked.

Because this information contained many actors, it took a long time for Lin Baicheng to read it, so Lin Baicheng asked Huang Xizhao to work on it first after sending the information, and wait until he finished reading it.

Lin Baicheng knew some about the popular stars of this era, but there were also many that he didn't know. As long as he doesn't know anyone, he will sweep it away. No matter how popular this person is now, he is not the target of him.

In fact, it is not so cost-effective to poach popular stars. It is most cost-effective to poach actors who have not yet become popular and make them famous. You don't have to pay a big price, but the benefits after becoming famous are very high. These actors who have not yet become popular are more likely to be poached to become popular because of their previous popularity.

Of course, poaching popular celebrities also has advantages. It not only enhances the strength of one's own TV station, but also reduces the strength of the other two TV stations. An increase or decrease will widen the gap.

When Lin Baicheng sees a familiar actor, he will stop and carefully check the actor's information. After confirming that this person is a celebrity he is familiar with, he will put a check on the actor's information and list him as one of the candidates for poaching.

"This is Zheng Shaoxu. He doesn't need to look at it. He must try to see if he can dig it out."

After seeing the celebrity whom he remembered deeply, Lin Baicheng did not read the information. Because he was familiar with the celebrity, he directly listed the celebrity as a target to be poached.

Looking at them one by one, Lin Baicheng saw many stars who are popular now and will be popular in the future, such as Zheng Shaoxuan, Wang Mingxuan, Shen Dianxia, ​​Jiang David, Zhao Yazhi, Mi Yue, etc. He checked everything he was familiar with.

Although there were quite a few actors from the three major TV stations who were part-timers, Lin Baicheng only glanced at them briefly and rarely stopped to check the actor's information. Therefore, he browsed very quickly and by the afternoon of the same day, he had collected all the actor's information. Read them all.

In these actor information, Lin Baicheng also saw many actors who will be popular stars or even superstars in the future, such as Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and so on.

Lin Baicheng emphasized that actors like Zhou Runfa, who would be a future superstar, were key targets for poaching, and anyone could agree to it as long as the price paid was not too high.

As for Zhang Guorong, it is good luck. Zhang Guorong just joined Asia Television last year. At that time, it was still Li TV, and now he is a member of Asia Television.

After reading all the information, Lin Baicheng called Huang Xizhao over.

"Manager Huang, I've read all these actor profiles, and I'm just looking for a good match. Any actor I like can be poached. All actors who have a check mark in the actor profile are the ones the TV station wants to poach. "

"Among them, all actors who draw triangles are the key to poaching, and the price paid for this is fine as long as it is not too high. If they are people from our TV station, we must focus on cultivating them."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Huang Xi Zhao responded, and then said: "But Mr. Lin, after all, the number of TV series shot by our TV station is limited. If we recruit too many actors, there will definitely be some actors who will have nothing to film. That will not only be a waste for our TV station. Resources are not good for actors, after all, they are eating youth rice."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Although Lin Baicheng did not expect this, he had a solution. He said: "I am going to open a record company and a film company. The record company will be temporarily managed by the TV station. The TV station can hold singing competitions and then sign talented newcomers. Go to a record company. If it's a movie company, it's natural to make movies. Then actors who want to enter the film industry will have the opportunity, so that some actors can be diverted."

"Mr. Lin, now only TVB and Golden Harvest have theaters in Hong Kong. If you want to release a good movie, you have to go to them. It's not that there are no theaters except these two, but the number of theaters left is small. The location is remote, so if a movie wants to make money, it has to go to Golden Harvest and Wireless."

Although Huang Xizhao is in the TV industry, he is not separated from film and television, so he can have a rough idea of ​​what the film industry is like now.

"Don't worry, it's okay if you don't have a theater chain. As long as you have money, I can definitely build a theater chain myself."

Lin Baicheng smiled and said that this was something he had already thought about, and the cinema he wanted to build was not the old-fashioned cinema in Xiangjiang, but a multi-cinema cinema like the United States, which although it covers a larger area Some require more money, but they also have more seats for watching movies and can accommodate more movies.

For this acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, Lin Baicheng has already purchased 38% of the shares, but has a little more than 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars left. He is also preparing to acquire 11.9% of the shares, increasing his shareholding to 49.9%. Therefore, he still needs to spend more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and he has at least more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars left to use.

If there is no other way to use the more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars, Lin Baicheng is going to take it to the United States to do long gold futures.

There was no other way, Lin Baicheng had done the math, he now owed a lot of money. Goldman Sachs has a loan of US$100 million, Standard Chartered Bank has a total loan of HK$330 million, Mitsubishi Bank has a total loan of US$250 million, and HSBC has a total loan of HK$1 billion. Not counting the initial loan of 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars for the acquisition of the arcade factory, it was just a fraction.

If all the loans are added up, converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. The average annual interest rate is about 8.5%, which is nearly 240 million Hong Kong dollars.

The annual interest is nearly 240 million Hong Kong dollars. If Lin Baicheng can't earn this much money every year, he will go bankrupt.

Although Galaxy Game Company has a strong ability to make money, Lin Baicheng does not want most of the money earned by the game company to be used to pay interest, so he wants to make money from loans, at least to earn back all the interest money.

If Lin Baicheng spends another 200 million US dollars to go long gold, it is also 5 times leveraged, which is equivalent to using a total of 1.5 billion US dollars to go long gold. As long as the price of gold rises by more than 15%, he can earn back the interest on all the loans in three years. .

And Lin Baicheng knows very well that as long as he can hold on after buying long gold futures and does not lose his position due to using too high leverage, let alone 15%, even 150% is not the highest proportion he can earn. .
