Hong Kong's new giants

"It's okay, the whole company, only I can see the real estate department in the new era, how big it will be in the future!" (In B)

Lin Zuhui's yearning expression made Liang Zhenxun and Lu Donglai feel ashamed.

They thought that holding 31% of the big hotel this time was already the limit of Cathay Pacific's city, but they didn't know that the boss was looking further.Now it's like fighting a protracted war. If neither side has the strength to drive each other out this year, who will be the winner after a year?

Back then, the charter kings forbeared for a year and a half, but now they didn't consider the boss's ability to make money.

"Well, don't take it to heart, doing things with peace of mind is the greatest contribution to the company!"

After Lin Zuhui finished playing B, he encouraged the two subordinates by the way.

"Yes, boss!"

In fact, Lin Zuhui's real purpose is to prevent Kadoorie from increasing his holdings before the stock market crash.

So as long as the price is high enough, the Kadoorie family will back down.

……

……

Thursday, November 2.

It was the Lantern Festival, but Lin Zuhui had no intention of celebrating the festival. He was very excited and signed an equity transfer agreement with Liang Zhonghao in the lawyer's office.

After signing, the lawyers and leaders of both parties confirmed that it was correct, and Cathay City sent a check of 15.8 billion.

"Thank you Brother Liang for making it happen!" Lin Zuhui stretched out his hand happily and said gratefully.

In any case, others are under pressure to sell shares to Cathay City, which means to make friends with Lin Zuhui; you must know that in history, Liang Zhonghao was only willing to sell 2000 million shares to Liu Luanxiong, while the other 1100 million shares were sold. To Lixin's Lin Jianmin.

Does Liu Luanxiong not want to buy all of them?

Of course he would, otherwise he wouldn't have frantically swept up the market and increased his stake to 26% after the deal was concluded.

Liang Zhonghao said with a smile: "It's a happy cooperation. Our original intention is to cash out. We are satisfied with the price you gave, and the deal will naturally be concluded. But I really didn't expect that the stock price of the big hotel has risen to 48 yuan, but I am still very satisfied with this price." satisfy!"

"Haha, when I buy a property, I hope that both parties will be satisfied, so I don't care too much!"

Liang Zhonghao nodded. He felt that Lin Zuhui was not a good bargainer, and the property he liked showed on his face.

For example, Furama Hotel, many people said that Lin Zuhui was really expensive;

There is also Huazhi Center (Twin Towers), and some people say that Lin Zuhui is expensive;

In short, everyone in Hong Kong knows that Lin Zuhui really likes high-quality properties and buildings.

Liang Zhonghao changed his style of painting and asked curiously: "Currently you hold 31% of the shares of the hotel, will you continue to buy shares in the market?"

Lin Zuhui nodded without hesitation, and said: "Yes, our goal is 34%, and we will send two to three directors to the hotel. I hope that the Kadoorie family will be in charge of the hotel, and we will live in peace and jointly manage the hotel. The development brought out the sluggish status quo, and the development went to a higher level."

Liang Zhonghao said with a wry smile: "The Kadoorie family regards the hotel as a symbol of their family, so they may not rest assured that you will join the board of directors!"

"If it is a symbol of the family, the shareholding will not be only 12% of the shares. The Kadoorie family puts all their funds and energy on electricity, regardless of the development of the big hotel, which hurts a lot of shareholders. I hope Brother Liang can give me a copy of the list of shareholders, relationships and other information of the hotel, I want to lobby them to support us. And I will definitely bring them rich rewards."

"Okay, seeing how confident you are, I'll help you succeed! However, I still hope that you will do enough public opinion work first."

"It's natural!"

Lin Zuhui thought about it during this period of time, the most regrettable thing about Liu Luanxiong's defeat in his previous life was his disastrous defeat at the shareholders' meeting.He and Lin Jianmin hold 38% of the shares, but only get 41% of the voting rights.

The Kadoorie family has only 12% of the shares, but got 43% of the voting rights.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui places great hopes on the hotel's shareholder meeting in May:

First of all, he is by no means as serious as Liu's notoriety in his previous life.

Secondly, he is an investment genius and a master of management. All the listed companies he acquired have brought huge profits to shareholders.

In the end, he is very young. Now, being young is no longer a disadvantage, but an advantage; because the assets and market value of the company he controls exceed tens of billions.

……

The next day.

All the newspapers in Hong Kong published the news about "Cathay City Gas Swallowing Hotel", shaking Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Different from the acquisition of Furama Hotel, this time stock analysts and financial experts have given Cathay City praise, thinking that it is very worthwhile for Cathay City to buy a 15.8% stake in the hotel at a price of 31 billion.

Although the current net asset value per share of the big hotel is around 40 to 45 yuan, its prospect is by no means comparable to that of Futura Hotel.

The status of The Peninsula Hotel in Xiangjiang is unmatched by all hotels.What's more, the property of the big hotel is too rich, and its symbolic meaning is also extraordinary.

Lin Zuhui is now challenging the Kadoorie family, and has been rated by the media as the third largest Chinese acquisition after the Wharf War and the Hutchison Whampoa War.

For a time, the word 'Lin Zuhui' resounded throughout Xiangjiang and spread overseas!

……

As a super-rich British citizen in Hong Kong, the Kadoorie family is very good at "making a fortune", but they just can't "make a fortune".

The first generation of old Kadoorie——Avery Kadoorie made a fortune for his family, but he never got married all his life, and finally let his two nephews win a golden mountain.

When it came to the second-generation leader, Lawrence, there was only one daughter and one son.His son Michael was born in 1941, and at the age of 46 he was still a "Diamond King and Fifth".

Interestingly, Horace Kadoorie (born in 1902), the uncle of the third-generation master Michael and the younger brother of Lawrence, lived to be nearly a hundred years old like his uncle Avery. No wife, no incense to extend to future generations, but also a "diamond king and fifth"!

Lawrence Kadoorie has the thrifty qualities of a Jew, even reluctant to eat grouper, but his only son Michael is different, he is purely a modern rich man!The suits he wears are all custom-made from London, luxury styles such as sports cars, antique cars and helicopters are his favorite.

Of course, Mi Gao is not a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.As the heir to world-class wealth, although Mi Gao's height is not outstanding, he is also the object of admiration for many beauties.But he, who is full of wrinkles, just keeps procrastinating not to marry a wife and have children, which makes the old father anxious all night.

Lawrence is so devoted to electric power that it is difficult to separate himself, while the big hotel is managed by his son. In 1977, Liang Zhonghao, the new major shareholder, entered the board of directors of the hotel. At that time, the two companies had a "gentlemen's agreement".Major shareholder Liang Zhonghao holds 3100 million shares, accounting for 31% of the hotel's equity, while Migao holds 1183 million shares.

At this time, in the eyes of Hong Kong people, they still only know about Kadoorie and do not know about Liang Liang, and they always think that it is Kadoorie's asset.

With unstable holdings, coupled with the withdrawal of large funds to invest in the electricity industry, hotel management has also encountered difficulties, and the market value was even lower than the net asset value. This is the prey that everyone covets, but many people still dare not take it lightly!An old British business family, the accumulation of a century is not trivial, not to mention that the Kadoorie family is also a senior stockbroker, and they started their fortune through this.

Now, the young Lin Zuhui fired the first shot, and it was a fierce first shot, directly taking the name of the major shareholder.

The citizens of Xiangjiang are ready to watch a good show!

……

The Kadoorie family is holding a family meeting, and there are only three people present at the meeting.Brothers Lawrence and Horace, and Michael.

Lawlands first said angrily: "The Liang family betrayed their trust and willingly acted like a villain for the sake of money. It's really despicable!"

As everyone knows, the methods used by the Jews in this world to do business...are world-renowned, otherwise they would not have caught fire back then.

Holishi said to his nephew, "Migao, the 'barbarians' are knocking on the door. The industry we have been in business for more than half a century is so 'peeping'! So, you must swear to the death to defend this country!"

Mi Gao had a bitter expression on his face. He had chatted with Lin Zuhui at the party, and he also knew that Lin Zuhui was by no means as simple as a 'barbarian', otherwise he wouldn't have built a tens of billions of assets empire in two years, compared to Chen Songqing back then. What's more!

Chen Songqing used it for three years, he only used it for two years!

Knowing his son is like his father, Lawrence helped his son explain: "The current plan is to prevent Cathay City from entering the board of directors, and they will certainly not dare to touch the 35% full acquisition line, because New Times Real Estate itself is a company with a high debt ratio. The company, and I heard that the acquisition of Liang's family's shares this time is all based on bank loans. Mi Gao, you immediately arrange to buy odd shares from the market to increase our shareholding, and don't be afraid even if it is debt!"

Mi Gao nodded and said, "Okay, father, I'll make arrangements now!"

After Mi Gao left, Lawrence said desolately: "This time, in order to develop electric power, the family has gone all out. I didn't expect to make such a big loophole for others. British companies such as Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa have been taken over by Chinese companies. Annexation, we didn't take it as a warning, we really shouldn't!"

Horace said: "Without our permission, Cathay City will not be able to join the board of directors. Presumably they will not be able to help. Let's see, maybe they will retreat."

"No, he won't! Lin Zuhui is not a simple person. Why do those banks make large-scale loans to the New Era real estate department? It must be that this person is very capable and has won the trust of the banks. But what is certain is that he does not have the strength to fully acquire Big hotels. Now our main task is to acquire some big hotel shares.”

Unfortunately, Lawrence didn't understand that Lin Zuhui had already reached this point.So Lin Zuhui arranged for someone to raise the price of the big hotel's stock. In this way, with the financial strength of the Kadoorie family at this time, it is basically impossible to increase their holdings to 15%.

Of course, this is for a later story, so I won’t show it for the time being.

Chapter 184 [Making Public Opinion]

March 2, Saturday.

On Valentine's Day, Lin Zuhui was also not allowed to rest. He came to Wanhui Media in the morning and needed to accept an exclusive interview with "Daily Daily".

This interview was planned by him, the purpose is very simple, he wants to win the public opinion war of the 'big hotel battle'.

The location of the interview was the chairman's office. The reporter who interviewed was actually a good-looking young female reporter. Of course, she also had a male assistant.

"Chairman, this is an interview question, let me review it for you first!" The female reporter gracefully handed over a stack of materials.

Lin Zuhui didn't read the manuscript, but said: "It's okay, your boss must have told you - the purpose of today's interview, I trust you! How about this, let's chat before the interview to increase mutual understanding!"

He pushed the manuscript over and chatted with several staff members about the workplace and family life.

This female reporter is not simple, she has a high diploma, strong working ability, and is generous in handling things. Although she is in front of her boss, who is also a powerful tycoon in Xiangjiang, she is not nervous or affected at all.After all, to be able to be arranged by the boss for today's interview must be of good ability.

After chatting for a while, the interview officially began.

Female reporter: "Today is Valentine's Day, will you spend the holiday with your girlfriend?"

Is this problem on paper?

Lin Zuhui's first reaction was, the company's top management is so humorous!

"Of course, my life is very interesting and romantic. Work is not all of me, it is just a part of my life. I will not bring work home, and I will not bring the troubles of work to those who love me, because I I think that is unfair. Here, I want to advise many citizens who are under a lot of work pressure to learn to solve problems by themselves, not to lose their temper blindly, to respect the feelings of family and friends, and not to hurt them; only in this way, you Your career and family will be better!"

After the female reporter listened to it, she thought to herself: I am just stretching the environment first, but the boss is fine, and he directly explained a lot of truth.

But she listened to it, and found it very reasonable and touching.She is a career-oriented woman, so it is inevitable that she often brings her emotions and work home, which seems to really hurt her family.

I will pay attention!The female reporter said silently in her heart.

Female reporter: "Many people say that you are 'the proud son of heaven'. The British also have a saying that 'an ounce of luck is worth a pound of wisdom'. So, from your experience, what is luck (opportunity), wisdom? (Vision) is more important to a person's achievements?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile:

"In view of success, we Chinese people generally self-deprecatingly 'that's luck'. Few people say that it comes from hard work and planned work. In fact, everyone knows that this is just a modest statement."

"I personally think that there are three stages of success: first, accumulating strength. This stage is completely dependent on hard work and continuous efforts to achieve success. I believe this, and the veteran tycoons in Xiangjiang have the most say. There are real estate developers (Chen Zengxi) at the beginning In the first stage, those who rented the completed house to the client, and their own family lived in the garage; there was a big builder (Lu Xiaopei) who worked hard for more than 10 years before he had a little savings, and he and his wife jointly opened a husband-and-wife construction company... At this stage Chinese like to call it stored capital, and Westerners call it the pot of gold.”

"The second stage: opportunity. In fact, everyone will have an opportunity, and more than once. But if the opportunity is not seized, the opportunity will run away when it comes. There are many factors for success in this stage. The summary is: 1. Many people may be Unable to judge whether the opportunity has come; second, or shrinking when seeing the opportunity; third, lack of the "pot of gold" when the opportunity comes, and miss the opportunity in vain."

"The third stage: luck. There is an old Chinese saying, 'Small wealth depends on people, and great wealth depends on heaven'. In fact, I don't completely agree with it. For those who achieve great wealth, the first and second stages are more important. Everyone There will be luck, as long as you are diligent and good at seizing opportunities, it is inevitable to become rich. 'Attitude is very important, and people with a good attitude will have good luck' is my motto."

"Finally, I would like to quote the words of Wang Guowei, a great scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, in "Human Ci Hua": Those who have accomplished great things and learned great things from ancient to modern times must pass through three realms:

'Last night the westerly wind withered the green trees.Going up the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world, this is the first state;

"The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, and I will make people haggard for Yixiao." This is the second state;

'I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, but suddenly I looked back and the man was there, in a dimly lit place' This is also the third realm; "

The female reporter could not wait to stop the interview, and was devoted to comprehend the tycoon's on-site teaching, and looked at her boss with admiration in her eyes.

Then keep blowing!

Female reporter: "This time Cathay Pacific City acquired the big hotel, some people compared it to 'Wharf Whampoa' and 'Hutchison Whampoa', and some people regarded you as the charter king and Li Chaoren, the third one to invest in British capital. The Chinese challenged by the giants. What do you think?"

Lin Zuhui smiled, making people feel like a spring breeze, and the female reporter was even briefly absent-minded.

"There are too many mistakes in the words you relayed, let me point them out one by one:

First, I have no intention of buying a big hotel, but only for long-term investment.

Second, I am definitely not as good as Chartered Ship King and Li Chaoren, and my wealth is naturally not comparable to them.

Third, I believe that no matter whether it is the charter king, Li Chaoren, or me, a young man who has just started a business, they all hold a negative attitude towards the so-called "Huaying Capital Showdown"... In fact, these things The occurrence of this is just that when the capital grows to a certain level, it will seek a breakthrough, and it is just a normal business behavior... The so-called "increasing the prestige of the people of the country" is just the public's opinion.Of course, everyone stood at different angles and naturally saw different scenery. "

The female reporter finally asked: "What is Cathay City's real intention to acquire 31% of the Liang family's shares?"

Lin Zuhui knows that this is the key issue today, and he needs to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion.

"It's a long-term investment! Because we are optimistic about the long-term development of the hotel, we regard it as a long-term investment, and we will definitely not sell stocks in the short term."

He did not slander the Kadoorie family for causing the development of the hotel to be unfavorable in the past few years, nor did he ask for membership in the board of directors of the hotel; in this way, Cathay Pacific City will gain everyone's support.

At the same time, in the eyes of outsiders, these words are a signal to the Kadoorie family that Cathay City is showing favor, and Lin Zuhui is showing favor.

Of course, this is the initial public opinion war.

After a few days, it was time for Lin Zuhui to ask Michael Kadoorie to send a director to join the Grand Hotel.If they refuse, then the public opinion war will start again. As a major shareholder, they don't even have the right to appoint directors. Is this not worthy of sympathy?

……

At noon, Lin Zuhui picked up Guan Jiahui at the IT group, and the two planned to go shopping.

As soon as they met, Lin Zuhui asked, "How is it, are you getting used to living apart?"

Guan Jiahui looked at Lin Zuhui curiously, and then said quietly: "I'm sure I'm used to it, but I'm worried about your body!"

Lin Zuhui slapped her on the thigh angrily, and Guan Jiahui burst into tears, pitiful and very tempting.

"I'm not wrong! Otherwise, if you don't enjoy the blessings of Qi Ren, you have to separate us!"

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "It is not allowed to gather people at a certain point, so it is natural for me to separate you for my reason! Moreover, everyone should live their own lives. Occasionally gathering together, chatting, and eating together is a normal adult. The family's normal way of life."
