Hong Kong's new giants

"A certain point? Who is it!"

"You don't need to know this! You just need to know that my body is very good. I do this so that everyone can get better respect and enjoy a better life."

"I know, I still don't understand you, but I know you best!"

Lin Zuhui was speechless, this woman did have a connection with him, but it was really embarrassing to say it so blatantly!

At this time, the Repulse Bay Villa was left to Cai Ning to live alone!

Guan Jiahui and Wang Zuxian returned to live in luxury apartments.

Lin Zuhui strictly enforced the regulations he started, and never gathered a crowd or many people.

Chapter 185 [Hotel Brand]

The next day, the weekend.

The news of Lin Zuhui's interview spread in Xiangjiang and immediately aroused heated discussions.

"Lin Sheng is really humble. If I were his age and achieved such success, I'm afraid even Li Chaoren and the charter king would look down on him!"

"Work hard, wait for the opportunity, seize the opportunity and wait for luck! Classic, starting from tomorrow, I will work hard to make money and save money. When the opportunity comes in the future, I will have the capital to catch it and become rich."

"Long-term investment in big hotels, so there won't be a fierce acquisition battle?"

"Lin Sheng respected the Kadoorie family very much, and he didn't make excessive demands, nor was he arrogant."

For a time, Lin Zuhui's "reputation" was spreading in the small Xiangjiang River.

Kadoorie family.

The three Kadoories were also lost in thought, wondering if Lin Zuhui really didn't have the idea of ​​controlling the hotel.

Mi Gao said: "Why don't we work together with Lin Zuhui just like the Liang family!" But because he had met Lin Zuhui once, he had a good impression in his heart and believed Lin Zuhui's 'sweet words'.

"No! Confused, the Liang family is at most a dog, but Lin Zuhui is a wolf and a tiger. How can we work with him at ease? It is easy to drive away a dog, but it is so difficult to drive away a wolf or a tiger! So , we can not buy stocks in the market for the time being, after all, we will not be able to provide funds for a while, but we must not let Cathay City enter the board of directors!" Lawrence warned his son.

"Yes, father!" Mi Gao said helplessly.

In fact, Mi Gao has been devastated for the past two days. The family's funds have been diverted to invest in electricity, and there is not much money to mobilize at all!If the family had sufficient liquidity, they would not have reduced the stake in the hotel (the maximum was more than 20%) to invest in electricity.

As for bank loans, the Kadoorie family has also borrowed a lot for electricity, and they will not be able to raise funds for a while, so it will take a certain amount of preparation time.

Soon, the Kadoorie family decided not to borrow large sums of money, but to purchase individual stocks from the market; instead, they only used the family's liquidity to conduct small-scale purchases.After all, if you make a big move, the stock price will rise, and the cost will be unacceptably high.

In fact, what they don't know is that this is Lin Zuhui's strategy to make the enemy relax their vigilance, preventing the Kadoorie family from buying shares in the big hotel from the market at a low price.

Once the stock price of the big hotel soars, if the Kadoorie family continues to buy, it will consume a lot of money; whether to buy or not to buy, it is very beneficial to Lin Zuhui.

The Jews are indeed very good at doing business, but the Chinese businessmen are not weak, and the IQ and strategies of the Chinese are even better.

……

Monday.

Lin Zuhui came to the office of Cathay Pacific City. At present, Cathay City is also a headache for Lin Zuhui. The debt is as high as 20 billion, and the annual interest is 2 million.

At present, Cathay Pacific City is divided into four parts of assets: Furama Hotel, Grand Hotel, rental property (worth 9 million), and 3 million blue chip stocks invested ([-] million deposit).

The annual profit is extremely unstable. Both Furama Hotel and Grand Hotel are listed companies, and the annual dividends need to be determined by the board of directors; especially for the Grand Hotel, Cathay City does not even have access to the board of directors.

The reason why the six syndicates were willing to lend money last time was nothing more than the joint guarantee of Lin Zuhui and New Times Real Estate, and promised to mortgage this part of the shares in the hands of the six banks after acquiring a 31% stake in the hotel, and release Lin Zuhui's personal guarantee relation.

The six syndicates even checked Cathay City’s finances to the bottom. When they learned that Cathay City had invested [-] million in blue-chip stocks, they all recorded it; that is to say, if the stock market went wrong, the six syndicates might force Cathay City to repay the debt in advance.

After a while, Lu Donglai, the general manager of Cathay City, came to Lin Zuhui's office.

"The shares of the big hotel are growing rapidly, and we have already started to scan the market. Last week, we bought 1000 million worth of shares in the big hotel, with an average price of 54 yuan!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Cathay Pacific City originally had 5000 million yuan in liquidity in its account. He directly asked the securities company to provide leverage, and directly enlarged it to 1.5 million yuan to scan the market.

"There is no need to worry about the securities market, we just need to be aggressive. In just one month, the price of the big hotel will rise to a sky-high price of 80 yuan. And the Kadoorie family wants to increase their holdings in the market, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream! "

At this time, Kadoorie's shareholding should be as small as possible, so that the voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders will be reduced.

You know, Lin Zuhui predicted that the voting rights of both parties at the shareholders meeting should be very close;

Therefore, every reduction in the Kadoorie family's voting power is very important.

The current Kadoorie family is like a tiger without teeth and claws, which is suitable for training.

Lu Donglai continued: "Then do I need to make an appointment with Michael Kadoorie for you? As usual, we send three directors!"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it next week! We'll still focus on other things. The big hotel needs to be done step by step. Don't be in a hurry!"

Lu Donglai nodded, and reported again: "Furama Hotel's finances have been audited, and the maximum dividend this year can be 3000 million."

Lin Zuhui said without hesitation: "Then divide the dividends according to this number!"

We can't leave too much money to Fulihua's management, so as not to give them too much power; without money, they can't make waves.Moreover, the Furama Hotel will be renovated in two years, so there is no need to invest too much now, as long as the status quo is maintained.

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

After Lu Donglai left, Lin Zuhui leaned back on the chair.

At this time, he seemed to understand the choice of the Kadoorie family, which was to prevent Lin Zuhui from joining the board of directors, so Lin Zuhui could only focus on the shareholders meeting in May.

Of course, the public opinion work that should be done should not be lost, and you should express your goodwill in the media regularly to win the approval of investors.Not only that, but also had to talk to some Chinese shareholders of the big hotel, promote themselves, and strive for everyone's support.

If he wants to get the support of shareholders, Lin Zuhui must not show that he will split the hotel and real estate business of the big hotel, otherwise he will definitely be cast aside by shareholders.

If he really became the chairman of the board of directors of the big hotel, then sooner or later he would still have to split the business of the big hotel and real estate.After all, after the former Kadoorie family held onto the hotel for the first time, they hastily split off the hotel and real estate business of the hotel.

Their idea is to keep the hotel business first, and the real estate business can be secondary.

"I believe that with my own performance, I will be able to impress many Chinese shareholders!"

"The Kadoorie family! I wanted to express my goodwill. Since you are determined to fight against me, I have no choice but to take this property."

In fact, Lin Zuhui has already made up his mind that he must win the Peninsula Hotel.

In the previous life, the brand of Mandarin Oriental Hotel was well-known all over the world, but the Peninsula Hotel has always been complacent. This is something Lin Zuhui can't get used to.

He will not be short of money in the future, but he will need a hotel brand with cultural heritage and history; so once Lin Zuhui gets the Peninsula Hotel brand, he will be able to open 20 to 30 five-star Peninsula hotels around the world in the future, all of which are his own. some.

At the same time, it can also authorize the management of 'Peninsula Hotel' and franchise dozens of companies, making this brand a world-renowned brand such as 'Hilton' and 'Sheraton'.

Chapter 186 [Reappearance of the big plan]

When Cathay City announced the acquisition of a 31% stake in Grand Hotel, it immediately created a whirlwind in the stock market.

Although Lin Zuhui is not a full-time 'sniper', he has had this experience;

In addition, in the eyes of investors, all the stocks that Lin Zuhui has touched have all risen with the tide.

Therefore, stockholders began to flock to buy the shares of the big hotel, and for a while the stock price of the big hotel flew out of the sky like a kite that was unthreaded.

Kadoorie family.

Although Mi Gao is 46 years old, he is actually still the rich second generation of Xiangjiang. When encountering difficulties, his first reaction is still to find his father.

"Father, the shares of the big hotel have risen too fast, it must be Lin Zuhui sweeping the market!" Mi Gao said worriedly.

Now it was as if the enemy was coming, and the Kadoorie family was not ready yet.

Lawrence suddenly said in surprise: "Oops! It's Lin Zuhui's scheme. He created public opinion in the market and swept up the goods. His purpose is very simple, that is to increase the stock price of the hotel. He calculated that we are not financially sufficient, so we don't give We have an opportunity to increase our holdings."

Mi Gao nodded and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Lawrence said: "For the current plan, there are only two places to stop Lin Zuhui: first, insist on not allowing Lin Zuhui to join the board of directors; second, I will lobby all shareholders to support us on the board of directors. Our family runs a big hotel for half an hour. In the hearts of all the shareholders, he must be the most suitable candidate for the power of the big hotel! Apart from these two points, you can also refute Lin Zuhui in the newspaper, if he is a long-term investment, why is he sweeping the market?"

Mi Gao nodded and said, "Okay, I will do it!"

Luo Lanshi was still not at ease, and continued: "In the media, you say that Lin Zuhui intends to tear down the big hotel and split it up. In this way, they will naturally not get the support of the shareholders. Not only that, but also After a while, you go to the Securities Commission to file a complaint, saying that Cathay City’s shareholding exceeds 35%, but you do not initiate a full acquisition.”

"They shouldn't make this mistake, right?"

"Confused, these are just ruining Lin Zuhui's reputation and causing troubles. It doesn't matter whether they commit crimes or not. The important thing is that the Securities Regulatory Commission will find their troubles. Also, we want to expose Cathay City's finances in the media. Under the media, let those people see that their company is just a big debtor, and such a snake swallowing a whale will cause serious consequences. And those syndicates that borrow money will definitely be very nervous."

No matter if it's 'Ginger or Boss Spicy', old Kadoorie changed one ring after another, finding out the weaknesses of Cathay City and Lin Zuhui one by one.

……

Wednesday, April 2.

In a building on Queen's Road, Lin Zuhui sat in the office of the new company and met Liang Botao who had invited him.

This company is Lin Zuhui's new investment company, named Hengjin Securities.He did not set up an investment company for no reason, but was preparing to lay out the global financial market, or in other words, he was developing the financial field.

A recent investment plan is: before the '[-] global stock market crash', short US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, Nikkei, London index, etc.

Of course, he didn't plan to invest too much, and he was satisfied with a small profit of 20 billion.

In order not to be caught, it will be listed as an 'unwelcome' list.

"You have to help me introduce some talents, otherwise I really don't know anything about this industry!"

Liang Botao said with a smile: "With your reputation, are you still worried that there will be no financial talents to invest?"

Lin Zuhui shook his head and said, "I just want this company to keep a low profile, because it will mainly help me invest in overseas financial products in the future."

Only now did Liang Botao understand Lin Zuhui's purpose, he was a little surprised, but soon he was relieved.He was helping Lin Zuhui manage his personal securities investment business, mainly investing in blue-chip stocks, so he knew that Lin Zuhui had already made more than one billion yuan in profits from blue-chip stocks at this time.Moreover, it was rumored that Lin Zuhui had invested in a lot of futures contracts. Based on Liang Botao's guess, Lin Zuhui probably made hundreds of millions of dollars from that.

With such a huge personal wealth, it is understandable to deploy global finance!

"Okay, anyway, you are a generous boss, I believe someone will be willing to vote!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "You just introduce, and I will talk to him face to face for the rest. It is best for everyone to work together!"

Not only did he ask Liang Botao to help introduce financial talents, but he was also looking for talents in this field;

Because of the high requirements, he is not in a hurry to complete the establishment of Hengjin Securities.

Lin Zuhui trusted Liang Botao very much. After all, as long as you show distrust for such a talent, no one else will help you.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui spoke out an investment plan buried in his heart.

"What do you think of crocodile shirts?"

Liang Botao was surprised again, he knew that Lin Zuhui would not bring up a brand like 'crocodile shirt' for no reason.

"It is a very high-quality brand, and it is the first first-class clothing brand that we Chinese really go to the world! Almost every Hong Kong person, from the time he was born, started to wear crocodile shirt series products until he grew up, and many of them became Entrepreneurs or successful people, they always choose the crocodile shirt clothing that accompanies their growth and success. In Hong Kong, whether they are billionaires, citizens, white-collar beauties or blue-collar workers, they are all loyal to crocodile shirts. customer."

As soon as the subject changed, Liang Botao said, "Chen Jun's family intends to release the property?"

Lin Zuhui said: "I'm not sure, but I want to try!"

Originally, in history, Lin Baixin's family bought the crocodile shirt in September and bought 9% of the shares of Chen Jun's family, spending a full 73.5 billion.

The crocodile shirt was launched in 1973. It has a complete design center, industrial plants, a global sales network, a global procurement center, and a complete set of structures; in terms of material selection, most of them use European fabrics; in terms of design, all are made by international companies. Designed by famous designers, hundreds of clothing varieties are launched every year.

The important thing is that Lin Zuhui knew that the annual sales of crocodile shirts at their peak were 100 billion, and the net profit was also on the scale of 20 billion.

Such a high-quality asset, even if he borrowed money, he would take it. What's more, before the August 60th stock market disaster, he could have a cash flow of 80 billion; plus the short-selling funds, he had a cash flow of [-] billion.

Why worry about spending in advance without having the funds to repay.

Liang Botao knew Lin Zuhui's strength, and his hidden wealth was billions.

Therefore, he said: "The current market value of crocodile shirts is about 10 billion, and the Chen Jun family holds more than 70% of the shares; even if their family wants to sell them, they may sell them when the market is booming."

Lin Zuhui said without hesitation: "So I plan to take over their shares at a premium!"

For Lin Zuhui, since he has a price of 13 billion in mind, he is willing to spend 13 billion for the early acquisition.

Otherwise, if he really waits until August or September, his competitors will come out. There are too many variables.

Liang Botao said: "Well, let me help you investigate the net worth of the crocodile shirt first, and then we will discuss the specific acquisition!"

He knew that since Lin Zuhui told him about it, he must have entrusted him to help with the acquisition.

Lin Zuhui nodded. Although the highest price in his mind was 13 billion, he had great hopes that the acquisition would be completed at 10 billion to 12 billion; even so, the premium was considered high.

Liang Botao asked again: "How do you raise funds?"

For a while, Lin Zuhui also had to think about it.

"The market value of my Wanhui Media is already 9 million, and the shares and certified shares I hold are at least 6 million. If all mortgages, I should be able to receive a 4 million loan! The shares I hold in New Times Real Estate are worth 25 billion, but I have pledged almost one-third of the shares, and I can also pledge a loan of 10 billion. In this way, I should be able to borrow more than 10 billion.”

Liang Botao frowned, and said, "If you put all your eggs in one basket, the risk is too great!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "How can there be risks? The asset value of crocodile shirts is obvious to all! Secondly, even if the situation in 1982 really happened, I believe I will not go bankrupt! At least I will not owe money or debt."

He basically bet all his assets to complete the expansion in this round!
