Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Many shareholders expect us to work together to develop the hotel better. Mi Gao, it seems that we have finally returned to the situation at the beginning!"

Mi Gao suddenly said with a sigh of relief: "Happy cooperation!"

In the conference room, there was even bigger applause this time!

……

The next day.

The Xiangjiang media have reported the scene of the shareholders meeting of the big hotel.

"The Kadoorie family won a thrilling 44.2%: 44.1%, elected chairman of the board of directors"

"Lin Zuhui won by a big score of 50.3%: 38%, Cathay City sent three directors to the hotel"

Some media analyzed: Lin Zuhui's appeal at the beginning was to send directors to the hotel, but now that he has achieved his goal, it should be a complete victory.

There is also media analysis: Michael Kadoorie has only 13% of the voting rights, but he can get the votes of most shareholders, which obviously should also save the country.

Some media pointed out that the reason why the shareholders voted for Lin Zuhui was because he promised to cooperate with the Kadoorie family from the very beginning, and the investors also hoped to join forces to develop the hotel better.

Is this really the case?

Even Lin Zuhui himself can’t guarantee that he did not buy the hotel to cooperate with the Kadoorie family. He has his own development philosophy. If the Kadoorie family does not cooperate, Lin Zuhui will kick them out of the hotel instead—launch a comprehensive acquisition .

At the board meeting of the hotel that day, Lin Zuhui, Liang Zhenxun, and Lu Donglai officially attended the meeting. At the meeting, Lin Zuhui still behaved very modestly and did not express any opinions.

However, Lin Zuhui has already made up his mind, that is, in September, the Peninsula Hotel will definitely promote the rights issue to raise funds; it can not only weaken the Kadoorie family's controlling shares, but also obtain a sum of development funds for the hotel.

At that time, Lin Zuhui's first big move is to take the money and take advantage of the impact of the global stock market crash to buy the remaining shares of the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles, the Peninsula Hotel in New York, and the Peninsula Hotel in Manila.

At this time, half of the equity of these three hotels is in the hands of the local consortium!

Lin Zuhui did this because he knew that the Kadoorie family of later generations spent a full US$90 billion to buy the remaining shares in the mid-10s, which was obviously too much for nothing.

Although the funds from the rights issue may not necessarily achieve such a large goal, Lin Zuhui's ability to raise funds is so strong that he will definitely be able to complete this large goal in 1988, thereby increasing his influence in the Peninsula Hotel.

……

……

Friday, June 5.

Lin Zuhui sat in the office of Hengjin Securities and began to think about developing a career in the financial field.

At present, Lin Zuhui's career should span four fields: real estate, media, clothing, and finance.

Real estate field: New Era Real Estate (property development), Chinese Real Estate (rental properties, securities investment), Cathay City (hotel management)

Media fields: daily newspapers, magazines, comics, movies

Apparel: ready-to-wear (crocodile shirts), apparel retail (IT), jewelry (Lukfook Jewellery)

Financial Field: Hengjin Securities (Investment)

At this time, Lin Zuhui's real estate, media, and clothing fields were limited by financial problems, so he couldn't move, so he had to absorb it temporarily and stabilize it for a period of time.

Therefore, he set his sights on Hengjin Securities again.

Lin Zuhui was engaged in the financial field in his previous life, so he re-examined his development in this industry again.

Now he is no longer satisfied with just using Hengjin Securities to invest in the family business.

He felt that there should be better development!

After a while, Lin Zuhui called Li Hao, the general manager of Hengjin Securities, into the office.

Li Hao, a native of Huaxia, is 36 years old this year and has a Ph.D. in finance from a prestigious American university. He used to work as a middle-level manager in a large overseas bank, but was recruited by Lin Zuhui with a salary of one million.

A salary of one million is just one of them. Li Hao is more concerned that Lin Zuhui is only in his 20s, but he has created a consortium of tens of billions.

Lin Zuhui suddenly said: "Manager Li, am I well-known in Xiangjiang's financial circle? I want to hear the truth!"

Li Hao immediately said: "Boss, you are very well-known in Wall Street, not to mention Hong Kong's financial circles!"

Lin Zuhui was stunned and said curiously: "Wall Street still cares about the little Xiangjiang?"

Li Hao said: "They don't care about Xiangjiang, but they care about you, the boss. After all, you are too young, and they describe you as 'the Chinese who are best at manipulating capital'. They stick to you with small things, big things, and leveraged buyouts." Label."

Lin Zuhui rubbed his nose, he didn't expect Xiangjiang to go out, and his fame has spread to the world!

In fact, it is easy to understand that the 23-year-old boy built a 'ten billion consortium' from scratch in three years, and this record can indeed be blown to Wall Street.

What's more, Xiangjiang is already the financial center of Asia, and it is normal for Europe and the United States to pay attention.

But along the way, Lin Zuhui's influence on people seems to be "good at finance". It's all about financial literacy.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "That's right, I want Hengjin Securities to hold a party. In my name, I invite celebrities from Hong Kong and Macau to hold a 'fund' raising party. The funds raised will be used to establish 'Hengjin Securities'. Fund No. 1, which mainly invests in Hong Kong’s securities.”

Li Hao was overjoyed. The management had always thought that this securities company was only used by the Lin family to invest in the family business. It was a good thing that the boss had changed his mind and planned to do business abroad.

"How much money does the boss plan to raise? After all, with your reputation, there must be many people willing to invest!"

Lin Zuhui was stunned again, is he so fragrant?

"1 million funds is enough, mainly to test the waters. Moreover, many of the people invited are actually contacts I need. I will send you the list of these people later, and you can also invite some social celebrities. As for the preparations for the party, you will lead the company staff in the preparations, and I will supervise it. The time is set for next Saturday!"

"No problem, I guarantee that the party will be very formal and grand!"

"Let's have the dinner at the Peninsula Hotel!"

"Congratulations boss!"

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile. He entered the board of directors of the big hotel, no one would say that he won the victory.

……

On the same day, the Hang Seng Index closed at 2800 points, Lin Zuhui immediately made a judgment, and the last madness of the stock market came.

In the remaining five months, Lin Zuhui is not just waiting for the Hang Seng Index to rise to 3900 points.

Instead, it needs to plan the rights issue fundraising plan of a series of companies under its umbrella.

The hotter the market is, the more conducive it is to raising funds through rights issues.

In his previous life, before the stock market crash, Li Ka-shing created a fund-raising plan of 103 billion by spinning off Hong Kong Electric (HEC) and real estate (Jiahong) for listing, and then ordered four of its listed companies to raise funds through rights issues.

Of course, after the stock market crash, the actual fundraising scale was only 60 billion.

Naturally, Lin Zuhui can't show weakness. He plans to let many of his listed companies launch a large-scale rights issue to raise funds; of course, the amount is estimated to be around 30 billion.

However, in order to achieve a 30 billion rights issue fundraising scale, Lin Zuyao must also make a good plan. First of all, he, the major shareholder, also needs to take the lead in supporting it, otherwise it will be difficult to convince investors.

In fact, he himself has run out of ammunition and food, and even the stocks have been pledged, unless he shows his investment in blue chip stocks and futures contracts, he may have to get a little loan.

However, once these are displayed, it is not only possible to increase unknown variables, but it is also not his original intention - to hide wealth.

Although Liang Botao knew that he had invested a lot of blue chips, he was Lin Zuhui's advisor after all, and he would absolutely keep it secret. This was professional ethics.

After much deliberation, Lin Zuhui decided to use his shares in Crocodile as collateral for a loan; his loan for purchasing the shares in Crocodile was mortgaged by part of Wanhui Media and New Times Real Estate; and the shares in Crocodile also had sufficient value , which can at least allow Lin Zuhui to mortgage a loan of [-] million yuan. I believe that no bank will reject such high-quality collateral.In fact, New Era Real Estate still has some shares that are not mortgaged, and you can choose to consider it at that time.

With this amount of funds, he can start to prepare for the whole department's rights issue fundraising plan.

At this time, Lin Zuhui's personal loan amount was 17.8 billion.

其中13亿是收购鳄鱼恤的接待，其中4.8亿分别是：炒蓝筹股和期指合约2亿贷款、供股新时代地产集资2.5亿、恒金证券本金0.3亿。

The value of shares held by Lin Zuhui is 49 billion:

Wanhui Media 7 million (market value 10 billion, 49% shareholding plus warrants)

Crocodile shirt 10 billion (market value 13.8 billion, holding 73.5%)

New Era Real Estate 32 billion (market value 70 billion, holding 45% after the increase)

Therefore, even if he borrows at 5% of the stock price, he will have no problem borrowing another 8-[-] million.

What's more, Lin Zuhui's excellent reputation, coupled with the use of the loan funds to raise funds through rights issues, the stock price of Lin Zuhui's own holdings will increase accordingly.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui decided to solve the personal loan problem next month (June), and at the same time, prepare for the rights issue plan of all listed companies.

Chapter 2 and One [Fund Raising Party]

After a week.

As night fell on Saturday, Victoria Harbor was lit up in colorful lights.

The Peninsula Hotel at 22 Salisbury Road is like an old-fashioned aristocrat facing the beautiful Victoria Harbour.Luxury cars gathered at the entrance of the hotel, and doormen in white gloves opened the doors for these distinguished guests one by one, and greeted them with smiles.

Even though many celebrities gathered in the Peninsula Hotel, today's situation made the waiters feel surprised, because the guests who came here basically gathered the most powerful people in Xiangjiang.

It turns out that Hengjin Securities held a fundraising party called "Hengjin No. 1" here tonight. Hengjin Securities may not be well-known in Hong Kong at all, but Lin Zuhui, the owner of Hengjin Securities, is the largest capital in Xiangjiang. The 'Crocodile' is also one of Xiangjiang's new top ten chaebols.

Lin Zuhui led the senior executives of Hengjin Securities, who had already greeted the guests in the reception hall, and all the staff of Hengjin Securities also acted as staff at the reception, cooperating with the senior management to hold the reception smoothly.

As time passed, the most powerful and wealthy people in Xiangjiang walked into the banquet hall, and the atmosphere of the whole party gradually reached a climax. Those who came first were all amazed at Lin Zuhui's face.But everyone thinks about it and thinks it's normal. How many people are willing to make friends with such a big country at such a young age!

"Uncle Tong, Brother Chun, welcome, thank you for coming!"

It was Lin Zuhui's good friend Zheng Yutong and Zheng Jiachun father and son who came. Both of them walked into the hall with smiles on their faces, sizing up the first guests inside.

"You 'stock god' finally remembered to lead everyone to make a fortune together, why don't we come to participate!" Zheng Yutong smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and said kindly.

Lin Zuhui definitely deserves the title of "Stock God". In the Xiangjiang business circle, Lin Zuhui is the "Napoleon of the capital world".

Anyone with a little brain knows that Lin Zuhui personally made a lot of profits in foreign exchange and securities; otherwise, where did Lin Zuhui, who came from an ordinary family, get the money to start the company, especially the huge scale of rights issue.

"Haha, that's too much! Uncle Tong, please, have a good time tonight!"

Lin Zuhui slightly guided Zheng Yutong and his son into the reception hall, and then the staff took over the task of welcoming guests.

He quickly returned to the door, and said to the guests with a smile on his face: "Li Sheng, welcome, the reception will be full of splendor!"

The person who came was Li Chaoren, the richest man in Hong Kong. Lin Zuhui and him only had acquaintances with each other a few times, and this time when the invitation was sent out, he didn't have too much hope that someone else would definitely come.

"Lin Sheng's invitation, I must come! Congratulations, Lin Sheng has stepped into a new field, and I believe it will create greater glories!" Li Chaoren said with a smile.

He once studied Li Chaoren and found that his management in the company not only integrated Confucian culture, but also adopted advanced western management. He is an excellent businessman who perfectly integrated the two.

Lin Zuhui used to agree with netizens’ evaluation of him, and he also hated Li Chaoren and Li Cucumber very much. As long as he didn’t donate money himself, he wished that all these rich people would donate and donate all naked. If he asked himself to donate money...

"Sheng Li has won the prize! This way please!"

With the presence of various bigwigs, the level of the entire reception has been raised infinitely, and it has become the top event in Xiangjiang.This was the first time that Lin Zuhui held such a reception, but he invited the most powerful and wealthy people in Xiangjiang.

Big businessmen, members of the Legislative Council, and members of the Executive Council came here one after another. Except for the inconvenient arrival of senior government officials, the top crowd of the upper class of Xiangjiang has already gathered here.

Of course, there are many people in the political circle. After all, Xiangjiang is a capitalist society. Many members of the council are from the business world and have a lot of money. Naturally, it would not be too abrupt to participate in this kind of gathering.

Guo Desheng, Lee Shau Kee, Run Run Shaw, Huang Tingfang, Chen Zengtao (Chen Zengxi's younger brother), Simon Keswick, Michael Kadoorie and other big chaebol leaders also came one after another.

Everyone may not care about this "Eternal Gold No. 1" fund, but they are willing to give Lin Zuhui a face. After all, others are also among the top ten chaebols in Xiangjiang, and they are even evaluated as "the next Superman Li" by some media.

Xiangjiang is such a big place, and this group of people in the upper class basically know each other and have a good relationship. This is the status quo of social favor.

Lin Zuhui became the "Top Ten Chaebols" at a young age. Everyone's thinking is also very simple. The friendship of the seniors can continue to the younger generations. We live together in the land of Hong Kong. In the future, my heirs will have to deal with Lin Zuhui. Networking is very necessary.

Compared with these veteran chaebols, Lin Zuhui still has a great advantage, that is, he controls Wanhui Media, the largest newspaper group in Xiangjiang.Recently, it has also been reported that Lin Zuhui is cooperating frequently with the head of the news agency, the person in charge of a state-owned enterprise in Hong Kong, and the organization in Hong Kong. It can be seen that Lin Zuhui has received considerable attention from the mainland officials.

Lin Zuhui was so busy that he was dizzy, all the veteran tycoons came, he had to make sure not to neglect every guest, so as not to be called a 'follower' generation.

Soon, he saw the God of Gamblers and Miss He coming again, and before he had time to think, he greeted him with a smile!

"God D, Miss He, welcome! Miss He, you are very beautiful today!"

It can be seen that God D intends to train Ms. He as one of his successors, and he takes this daughter with him on many occasions. After all, his most valued eldest son Youguang died in a car accident in 1981.

Ms. He suddenly felt that Lin Zuhui had recently become kind and likable; of course, the two of them would definitely not have anything beyond friendship, but they could be friends.

"You're also handsome today!" Ms. He said in front of God D.

God D also smiled and said: "It's worse than when I was younger! Haha, Zu Hui, you won't be angry if you say that!"

Anyone who is familiar with God D knows that he is very humorous. In his previous life, his friend Da Liu's lover Gabby gave birth, and the media interviewed God D, and God D also accepted the interview in a funny way.If the bodyguards hadn't pulled God D away in time, this old urchin would have gonessip about his friend Da Liu.

"Of course not, I don't rely on my face for food!"

"Stinky boy, I really don't suffer!"

The two met privately several times, which shows that the relationship is already very good. Although there is a big age gap, Xiangjiang is a society that relies on wealth, and Lin Zuhui is on the same level as these people.

"God D, Miss He, please come inside!"

Soon, Lin Zuhui saw another heavyweight——the charter king and his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng came to the reception together.

Although the charter king's fortune has been greatly reduced in the past few years (sluggish shipping), his influence is very strong. He has been interviewed by high-level officials in the mainland many times, and he is more important than Li Chaoren's identity.However, the charter king was diagnosed with cancer last year, and now he has begun to closely prepare for the issue of successors and separation.
