Hong Kong's new giants

The important thing is that he is happy to weaken Li Chaoren's future strength, although it is only a very small part of his strength.

In the previous life, Zou Kaixuan was the promoter of the entire Oriental Plaza, and Li Chaoren was just a major investor who was brought in later. Other investors include the Dong family with a strong background, and mainland investors.

In fact, the return on commercial real estate in the Mainland is very slow, but the market cannot stand up.

When Lin Zuhui has a lot of cash, he urgently needs to find a way for the funds. Even if the annual income is 10%, this project is very worth investing.

After inviting Zou Kaixuan to sit on the sofa, Lin Zuhui didn't show off, but sat on the sofa with him.

"Miss Zou, how much money do you make from running a project?" Lin Zuhui put down his teacup and said kindly.

Zou Kaixuan was flattered. After all, she is still from an ordinary family, and she is not studying in prestigious universities such as Cambridge and Oxford. The projects she operates are only two small projects!

"I don't earn a lot, it looks like I made a total of 20 last year and this year!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said with a smile: "It's also the salary level of the middle and low-level management of our real estate company!"

When the topic changed, Lin Zuhui said seriously: "Do you want to better realize the value of life, do big projects, and look at the scenery from a higher place?"

"I want to! Please give me a chance, Lin Sheng!"

Zou Kaixuan replied firmly without any hesitation.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and could understand Zou Kaixuan's determination to succeed, and she also possessed that ability.

Lin Zuhui knows a thing or two about her previous life experience: she planned the London Exhibition of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in 1986 and achieved success; then she got on Shi Nansheng's network, and then used Shi Nansheng's network to get on Zhang Peiwei (Dong Jianhua's cousin).

Zou and Zhang immediately set up Victoria Harbor Company, specializing in mainland trade.The first business the new company did was to sell bulk cement carriers to Guangxi.At that time, the real estate market in Hong Kong was booming, and the demand for cement was huge. Bulk cement manufacturers in Guangxi hoped to enter the Hong Kong market. After carefully studying the market demand, Zou Kaixuan believed that bulk cement manufacturers had great purchasing power. Cost, set a price that was more than 100 million US dollars higher than the company's average selling price, and the final transaction was successful. Since then, Dong Jianhua's trust in Zou Kaixuan's ability has greatly increased.

Later, Dong Jianhua suggested: Zou Kaixuan can look for real estate projects in the capital, and OOCL and Victoria Harbor Company will participate in the development together.Oriental Plaza was born in the next few years, and Zou Kaixuan also caught up with Li Chaoren, becoming a business tycoon.

There is no need to question the ability, it just needs the support of the boss!

"I want you to go to the mainland to develop, I wonder if you would like to?"

"I am willing!"

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui launched plans and plans for her to set up a real estate consulting company and a trading company in the mainland.

"In terms of real estate business, because our New Times Real Estate has recently cooperated with Baoli Technology (the predecessor of Baoli Group) in the Mainland to prepare the first real estate project for export in the Mainland. This can be said to be a very important honor project for me. I also You don’t need to play a big role, your consultant company first participates in this project with a learning attitude, so as to lay a solid experience for looking for real estate projects in the future. Do you have confidence in this?”

Zou Kaixuan nodded quickly and said, "I will definitely accumulate experience and live up to Lin Sheng's promotion!"

She didn't ask the question of remuneration, because she felt that it was worth noting a penny.

After all, being able to participate in such a large project is a matter of cultivating yourself.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I personally invest 30 yuan in this consulting company for initial development funds."

Zou Kaixuan hurriedly said, "Lin Sheng, I have savings, and I can handle it!"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "I want [-]% of the consulting company's shares, is there any problem?"

"No problem, it should be!"

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "For trade business, because I like antique calligraphy and paintings, if you are free, please help me buy some from regular channels. But you are a girl, it may not be convenient to do these things, I ask for it. In the early days, I I will give you 100 million operating funds, and I don’t blame you for buying fake products, I will give you 5 points as a reward. And this business is just a sideline of yours, and your main business is still a real estate consultant.”

To put it bluntly, Zou Kaixuan has been accumulating experience in the past few years, and what Lin Zuhui told her were all small projects.As for antiques actually buying fakes, once or twice is acceptable, if there are too many times, Lin Zuhui probably won't trust her anymore.

Zou Kaixuan responded: "No problem, I will definitely get things done!"

Lin Zuhui immediately wrote her a check of 130 million, asking her to start the business, and gave her the contact information of the Beijing office of New Times Real Estate, asking her to contact there.

The reason why he didn't train Zou Kaixuan by his side was because he felt that it would limit other people's abilities, and she was suitable for operations and trade work.

Zou Kaixuan walked out of the office building in the new era, and suddenly felt that the opportunity in life was coming. Whether it was a real estate consulting company or a trading company, she felt that it had a bright future.Of course, she felt that the most promising thing was to gain Lin Zuhui's trust.

Real estate consulting companies can cultivate their own ability to operate large projects, especially New Era Real Estate is actually cooperating with Poly Technology to win the first real estate project for export in the Mainland, which allows her to see the future prospects of real estate in the Mainland.

As for the trading company, Zou Kaixuan feels that if the company does well, it can deepen its relationship with Lin Sheng. In the future, Lin Sheng will trust and reuse him even more.

……

That day, Lin Zuhui got off work early and returned to his villa in Repulse Bay.

On weekends, Guan Jiahui, Wang Zuxian, and Wang Lingyin will come to the villa for gatherings. Usually, everyone lives in their own mansion. As the first pregnant woman, Cai Ning naturally lives in the villa all the time.

Not only that, Lin Zuhui arranged personal doctors and nurses for Cai Ning, and if something happened, he could arrive at the Sanatorium and Hospital as soon as possible for delivery.

At this time, Lin Zuhui arranged a five-person team for the girls, including a personal female assistant, a personal female bodyguard, a driver, and two male bodyguards.

As soon as Lin Zuhui returned to the villa, Guan Jiahui greeted her excitedly with small steps.Seeing that this woman was about to throw herself into her arms, Lin Zuhui naturally wouldn't refuse, and opened his hands.

After a gentle hug, Guan Jiahui raised her pretty face and said in an excited tone: "I have good news for you!"

Lin Zuhui was taken aback for a moment, then fell into ecstasy and said, "Is she pregnant?"

"kindness"

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been worried that this woman would have some physical problems. After all, in her previous life...

Now that Guan Jiahui is pregnant, he is of course relieved.

Don't look at her divorced, but she is Lin Zuhui's rarest woman, not only because she is beautiful, but also because she has an interesting soul.

"Hey, you're not worried that I won't get pregnant, are you?" Seeing Lin Zuhui heaved a sigh of relief, Guan Jiahui immediately understood Lin Zuhui's intentions.

Lin Zuhui smiled without saying a word, and walked towards Cai Ning, feeling the life that will be born this month, he can't wait to be a father.

"I hate it, how dare you doubt me!" Guan Jiahui said coquettishly while stroking her stomach.

In fact, she herself was also relieved, although Lin Zuhui liked her, if she really couldn't conceive a child, this family really didn't know if she would have a place in the future.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said to Guan Jiahui: "Take good care of me, don't think about it!"

Turning around, he said to Cai Ning: "I remember that if there is any situation, I have to go to the hospital as soon as possible. I thought I would arrange for you to live in these two days, but I thought that although the environment inside is good, it must not be as comfortable as the villa. , I am worried that you will be affected."

"En" Cai Ning said obediently.

Soon, the family began to eat around the dining table, all pregnant women ate pregnant women's meals, and scientific feeding was strictly implemented.

During the meal, Lin Zuhui couldn't help sighing: "This year is a small pinnacle of my career, and we have to add two new members to our family. It seems to be my lucky year!"

Everyone showed happy smiles. This man has been really imposing recently, and he was officially crowned as the "Top Ten Chaebols of Hong Kong" by the media.

Then, Lin Zuhui announced: "Since Ling Yin is graduating from high school soon, I will hold an engagement ceremony during the summer vacation. You guys have to be mentally prepared?"

"Tch, I still want to participate, do you welcome me?" Guan Jiahui said generously.

Lin Zuhui directly refused: "You all don't want to participate, this is to protect you!"

Then everyone nodded seriously.

Then Lin Zuhui said: "After Lingyin graduated from middle school, she will attend our company meeting."

The girls seemed to understand something, and there was no abnormality on their faces, which made Lin Zuhui feel relieved.

Wang Lingyin's attendance at the meeting is like Lin Zuhui's will with a private lawyer, which is one of the insurances.However, she did not participate in the auditorium as insurance for the past few years. After all, she was not pregnant with Lin Zuhui's child. If Lin Zuhui had an accident, it would not be her turn to inherit it.The assets will only belong to Lin Zuhui's children, and the lawyer will arrange for the assets to be included in the Lin's fund, and the company will be run by professional managers.

The real arrangement is that Wang Lingyin will be pregnant with Lin Zuhui's child two years later, then she is qualified to have an accident with Lin Zuhui and take over the existence of the company.

Of course, these are just arrangements for unexpected circumstances.

In fact, Lin Zuhui is very safe, God (the author) will not let it happen if there is an accident!

Chapter 194 [Caught in competition]

Monday, May 3.

Liang Botao hurried to Lin Zuhui's office and put a newspaper in front of Lin Zuhui.

"The media reported that Chen Jun's family intends to sell 'crocodile shirts'. It seems that we are going to increase our competitors!"

Lin Zuhui calmly picked up the newspaper, read it, his face was calm, as if he was not so eager to get the 'crocodile shirt'.

Liang Botao nodded inwardly, this man is already a hero in his work.He knew that Lin Zuhui was very concerned about the 'crocodile shirt', otherwise he would not have basically used his shares in listed companies as collateral.To put it bluntly, if any accident happened, Lin Zuhui would lose everything, and it would be very difficult to get up again.

After a long time, Lin Zuhui put down the newspaper and said, "Who do you think our opponent will be?"

Liang Botao immediately said: "Lin Baixin of Lai Sun Group, their family has represented French crocodiles, and Lin Baixin himself has expressed his love for 'crocodile shirts' for a long time."

Lin Zuhui nodded, with a relaxed smile on his face, and teased Liang Botao: "If you don't help Chaoshan people this time, you Chaoshan gang will have to fight Lin Baixin!"

Lin Baixin is the leader of the Chaoshan Gang, and Liang Botao is also the "capitalist of the Chaoshan Gang", so Lin Zuhui said this.

Liang Botao responded: "It's not a ring fight. I suspect that Dr. Chen Jun deliberately released the news that his family intends to release the listing, and then attracted two people to come to bid! I didn't expect that Dr. Chen Jun has such a big appetite. We quoted 20 yuan per share. A full premium of just over 2% is not enough!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "It must be the news from Chen Jun's family! It's okay to invite our two families to participate in the bidding. The crocodile shirt is not something I don't want to buy. Of course, Lin Baixin wants to snatch the crocodile shirt from me. Easy! To tell you the truth, my highest price is 22 yuan per share!"

Liang Botao was surprised, and then said: "This is a premium of more than [-]%, and you still say it's not something you don't want to buy. It's basically impossible for Lin Baixin's family to pay this price."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "I think so too! Regardless, it depends on what the Chen Jun family plans to do. Anyway, I will pay this price!"

Chen Jun’s family owns 73.5% of the shares in Crocodile (listed companies, the founders only need to sell 25% of the shares to the public), and the total share capital of Crocodile is 8000 million shares.So based on 22 yuan per share, it would cost 73.5 billion to buy 12.9% of the shares held by the Chen Jun family!

This price was the previous Lin Baixin family's bid in September!

Lin Zuhui guessed that at that time, the Chen Jun family saw that the stock market was booming, and the share price of the crocodile shirt had risen to 22 billion, so they intended to put it on the market and sold it to the Lin Baixin family at a par price.

Now, Lin Zuhui took the initiative to come to the door. The Chen Jun family is not stupid. It is impossible to sell it to him at a fair price. They are not even satisfied with the premium of [-]%. They deliberately released news to attract the Lin Baixin family to come to bid.

Of course, it is also possible that the Chen Jun family thinks that the crocodile shirt is worth the price. After all, the company is located in the Crocodile Shirt Building in Central (two phases, covering an area of ​​only 6000 square feet), and has 30 square feet in Hong Kong Island. A number of retail outlets, three factories, and an overseas sales network.

Of course, it can't be an auction-style bidding. Lin Zuhui and Lin Baixin would not be so stupid to participate. At most, they would use bidding.The two companies wrote the highest price in an envelope, and then delivered it to the crocodile shirt office, and Chen Jun won it according to the highest price.

Liang Botao finally said: "Regardless of the bidding result, why don't you talk to the banks about the loan first?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Well, I have pledged the original shares of Wanhui Media, and I have paid off the loan (speculation refers to the remaining funds). Now I plan to use the entire shareholding of Wanhui Media to add part of the New Era The real estate holdings are used as collateral to borrow 13 billion from various banks. Of course, this transaction must be concluded to take effect."

Liang Botao reminded: "Recently, the Hang Seng Index fell to 2700 points. What do you think of the market outlook? Do you need to liquidate some blue-chip stocks?"

Lin Zuhui said confidently: "No need, our buying point is below 1800 points, I am confident that this time the adjustment will be at most until the delivery of the futures contract at the end of April, and it will rise again soon."

Only then did Liang Botao nod his head. He just wanted to remind Lin Zuhui that the reason why you dare to borrow heavily to buy crocodile shirts is because the blue chip stocks you invested in have already made a lot of money; if the stock market performs badly, Lin Zuhui's financial situation will be in danger After all, Lin Zuhui has mortgaged his real hole cards - Wanhui Media and New Times Real Estate.

Fortunately, Lin Zuhui's buying point is below 1800 points, and the current profit is almost 15 billion, so a small adjustment is fine.

……

Lin Baixin's family.

Lin Baixin also urgently summoned the 'old retainer' Cao Guangyu, his sons Lin Jianyue, Lin Jianmin, etc. to discuss the acquisition of crocodile shirts.

For the crocodile shirt, Lin Baixin has long been eyeing it, but Chen Jun's family controls a full 73.5% of the shares. They have no intention of selling it, and no one can take it away.

The crocodile shirt is the first Chinese famous brand to go to the world, and it is the pride of the Chinese nation. How can Lin Baixin not be moved.

"I heard that someone is already in contact with Chen Jun's family, who do you think it is?"

Lin Jianyue immediately said: "I have already inquired clearly. It seems that Liang Botao is in contact with Chen Jun's family. But Liang Botao must be someone else's consultant, and Lin Zuhui should be behind it!"

Lin Baixin frowned, and said unhappily: "Isn't he fighting with the Kadoorie family? How come he still has the energy and money to play the crocodile shirt idea!"

He was a little afraid of Lin Zuhui, not because he was afraid of Lin Zuhui's wealth, but because he was afraid that Lin Zuhui would disrupt the market and bid in confusion; you know, when Cathay Pacific City bought the Furama Hotel, it paid a full [-]% premium, which shocked the Xiangjiang business community.

Lin Jianyue said: "I have played with him. He is the kind of person who likes premium buyouts and leveraged buyouts. He is not afraid of borrowing money. As long as there are banks willing to borrow, he is not too much."

For a while, Lin Baixin also thought about how to make the acquisition successful!

The old retainer Cao Guangyu said: "Who released the Chen Jun family to release the listing? If I guessed correctly, it must be Dr. Chen Jun himself. Then, his purpose is to lure you, the boss, to join the bidding. Therefore, we should go to Chen Jun Let the family inquire about what the other party's price is, and then make a decision, or wait for the Chen Jun family's plan to make a bidding method!"

Lin Baixin nodded and said, "That makes sense! I'll come to test the price myself!"

……

On Wednesday, Lin Zuhui, through his personal consultant Liang Botao, publicly announced that he was planning to acquire 'Crocodile Shirt'.

For a while, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shocked again because of Lin Zuhui.

The first quarter of 1987 was not yet over, and the young chaebols were attacking cities and territories everywhere. Their courage and skill were not as good as those of the older generation of chaebols.For a time, Lin Zuhui's reputation once again resounded in Xiangjiang, majestic and majestic.

Lin Zuhui took Liang Botao to visit Chen Jun, the owner of Crocodile Shirt.

Chen Jun is 70 years old this year, and he is generally called "Dr. Chen Jun" because he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Andrews University in Michigan, which is one of his most proud things.

The reason why Chen Jun is willing to sell crocodile shirts is not only that he intends to take capital and immigrate to Australia; but also that his two sons have no intention of operating crocodile shirts.

As soon as we met, Chen Jun said politely: "Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age. There are very few successful business people at your age who have achieved such success in the world."

Lin Zuhui was taken aback for a moment. He suddenly thought that he seemed to be famous overseas, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom.

"You are being polite! There are many people who are more successful than me! I just like taking risks!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

Anyone who understands knows that both Lin Zuhui and Lin Zuhui's company are heavily in debt, and there seems to be nothing to praise.

As for Lin Zuhui's personal cash wealth, it has basically not been spread out. Even this acquisition, everyone outside knows that Lin Zuhui mortgaged the shares of Wanhui Media and New Times Real Estate.
