Hong Kong's new giants

Although the New Times Group declared that the funds raised were mainly used to reduce debt holdings and develop real estate, some real estate developers still keenly sense Lin Zuhui's intention, which is to compete for the "land king" that may be auctioned.

……

In the meeting room of Yihe.

Lin Zuhui, Keswick, Zheng Yutong, Xiaogou Heiro and others are signing the contract.

In this bid for the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel, a consortium consisting of Golden Gate Construction, Nishimatsu Group (Japanese-funded), New World, and New Times will build the tunnel at a price of 20 billion yuan and obtain a 30-year franchise.

At the beginning, Lin Zuhui planned to obtain at least 20% of the shares, but after some deduction, he found that the income of this project would be much lower than expected; he decisively chose soy sauce, let the New Times Group take up 10% of the shares, and focused on participating and absorbing infrastructure experience of.

On the contrary, Zheng Yutong has a different view and let New World take 25% of the shares!

In fact, most of the funds for this project are completed through loans, and the start-up funds invested by the four companies will also be given priority in the future.It's impossible to lose money, but you can't make much money!

After signing the contract, Simon Keswick said with a sigh: "Lin Sheng, I admire you very much. You are bold in doing things and grasping the timing and benefits!"

Lin Zuhui has won three major projects from Hongkong Land, each time at a premium price, but soon rose to parity, and later made a profit, so Ximen has this saying.

Of course, Ximen didn't feel that there was anything to regret. Selling Landmark's assets was a family strategy.After all, they dare not gamble!If real estate appreciates again, Hongkong Land will sell the property!

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "It's just luck! Doing business in Xiangjiang requires a lot of luck. The 'July [-]' and 'August [-]' stock market crashes have caused countless people to fall. So, Mr. Ximen, I am trembling every day! "

Everyone laughed!

Simon went on to say: "This time, the New Era Group has obtained a large amount of cash and is already in an invincible position."

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile. Many outsiders have speculated that Lin Zuhui is preparing to reduce the debt again. Could it be that he has noticed something!

Of course, this will not affect the thinking of the vast majority of people, what should everyone do or do.

The former rivals——Ximen and Zheng Yutong, also came together again for the benefit at this time, and the two also talked and laughed happily, as if they were not as unhappy as before.This is the case in the business world. Back then, Bao Yugang and the Keswick family had such a big fight. After the Battle of Wharf, the two joined forces to invest in real estate projects.

At this time, Lin Zuhui was a little worried that Simon Keswick offered to sell the building and shopping mall to himself, so it was not right for him to refuse, and it would not be worthwhile not to refuse.

After all, he knows that real estate is going to fall by 30% to -35%, so how can he buy it at this time; moreover, he has no money to buy it.

Walking out of the Jardine Building, Zheng Yutong asked curiously: "This time you took the initiative to organize the consortium to bid, why did you feel a little unhappy when it came time to share the shares?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Uncle Tong, I'm reducing my debts now, and the Tate's Cairn Tunnel project is so slow to pay back, why do you think I want such shares! To put it bluntly, New Times Group's participation in this project is nothing more than accumulating funds on infrastructure construction." Just some experience! Seriously, if the mainland is opened up, the infrastructure there will have a lot to do!"

Although the investment in infrastructure is large and the return on capital is slow, but the funds have bank loans, what are you afraid of!

To put it bluntly, it is to invest a little start-up capital and rely on bank loans for the follow-up.

Zheng Yutong nodded, approved of Lin Zuhui's thoughts, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about investment in the Mainland?"

"Huaxia people, the motherland will get better sooner or later!"

Although he said so, Lin Zuhui actually does not have much enthusiasm for investment in the mainland, and the focus is entirely on participation.

The return rate of projects in the Mainland is very low, that's for sure!

In his previous life, Li Ka-shing made very little money in the mainland, mainly because he made a lot of money in Hong Kong and overseas.

To illustrate with an actual case: Li Ka-shing spent 40 billion to buy land in Shanghai, and 12 years later, he sold it for 200 billion.After adding the construction fee, he actually earned 120 billion.Inflation is counted, which is actually tossing around.

"It's better to be better than you. You have completed all the projects at the feet of the emperor. Your Lijing Garden is amazing, and the land number is 00001!"

"Haha, I admit this, I have done a remarkable thing!"

……

A new week begins.

After the New Era Group successfully completed the rights issue to raise funds, Chinese Land then announced the rights issue to raise funds, issuing 10% of new shares, raising a total of 10 billion yuan (current market value of 103.5 billion yuan).

For a while, market participants looked sideways!

Some people began to discuss why Lin Zuhui suddenly raised large-scale funds, whether he was optimistic about the market, or felt that the market was at risk of falling.

It is very simple to be optimistic about the market, that is to acquire land, so a lot of funds are needed;

If you are not optimistic about the market, that is to reduce debt, so that you can survive the plunge.

Just when everyone was guessing, the Hong Kong government officially announced the auction of "Wan Chai Land King" on January 1989, 1. Interested companies can participate in the registration within 3 days.

It was only then that everyone realized that Lin Zuhui had made preparations in advance and guessed that there would be an auction for the 'Land King'.

"Wanchai Diwang" is located on the south side of the Convention and Exhibition Center, only separated by a Harbor Road in the middle, and the important thing is that it has an area of ​​7.78 square feet.As three sides are empty, the plot ratio can be enlarged to 18 times.

In other words, this land can build 140 million square feet of commercial buildings!

……

Huazhi Center.

After Lin Zuhui learned of the "land plot ratio" (the Hong Kong government had informed him before the auction), he immediately became excited, that is, he planned to build skyscrapers on this land.

For example, he expects to build 80 floors (estimated), then this building will be the tallest skyscraper in Asia, and it can be among the top ten famous buildings in the world.

The building occupies an area of ​​only 1.75 square feet (undetermined), and the excess land naturally forms a square, which is extremely beautiful.

He quickly began to estimate the cost again. Assuming that the land auction was won at a sky-high price of 35 billion, and the construction and miscellaneous expenses still needed about 17 billion, then the entire project would require an investment of 52 billion.

Not expensive, such a building will probably be worth 20 billion in 400 years, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the market value of all Wanda Plazas in the Mainland in the previous life.

This is not counting the rent generated during the period, it may also look like 300 billion!

The value of a building is comparable to all the Wanda Plazas in the Mainland in the previous life.

However, for a project with a total investment of more than 50 billion, it is also very difficult for New Era Group and Chinese Land to join forces;

Funds are available, but we have to consider that the Hong Kong government still has "Land King" or high-quality land for auction.

At that time, the strength of the two companies will be greatly reduced!

So Lin Zuhui planned: In the name of the Lin family, he will take [-]% of the shares, while New Era and Huazhi will each have [-]%!

But at this time, he had no money, and he was still in debt of 20 billion, and he also mortgaged part of the rights and interests of Diligende Pavilion and Furama Hotel.

The scene at this time has never been known before. Before the August [-]th stock market disaster, he also operated in the same way.

But at this time, although he personally borrowed 20 billion yuan, even if the real estate and stocks plummeted immediately, he would not be seriously injured, it can only be said that he hurt a little bit!

On the contrary, he has already mortgaged all the fixed assets, and then only the stocks can be pledged!

Lin Zuhui personally needs to invest 11 billion ([-]% of the equity, limited to the land fee) for the participation in the 'Wanchai Land King'. Lin Zuhui intends to pledge the shares of Wanhui Media and LEIT Group.

Lin Zuhui suddenly had a headache. According to this trend, when will he be able to achieve "freedom of wealth" and when will he be able to catch up with Li Ka-shing.

He finally realized that the veteran family is so powerful!

It can be said that real estate companies such as New World, Henderson, and Sun Hung Kai can raise 50 billion immediately if they want to borrow money.

Of course, they still dare not do this to Lin Zuhui. For them, they are always wary of the stock market crashes and real estate plummets in 67, 73, and 82.How many colleagues fell down in the past before they broke through the siege, how dare they put all their eggs in one bet!

at this time.

Lin Zuhui suddenly felt that the more he felt the power of the old family, the more he should move forward bravely.

Chapter 272 [Lin Family]

In the evening, Lin Zuhui turned down an unimportant dinner party and returned to his villa on Repulse Bay Road.

In the first half of November, Wang Lingyin first gave birth to a son, and then Wang Zuxian gave birth to a daughter. The second generation of the Lin family instantly increased to four.

As the eldest son of Wang Lingyin's son, Lin Zuhui named him "Lin Wenjie", and naturally hoped that he would grow up to be an outstanding successor; and Wang Zuxian gave birth to the only daughter of the Lin family, and Lin Zuhui also tried his best to get one. Good name 'Lin Shiwen'.

Although Lin Zuhui had the idea of ​​'the eldest son' in his heart, he did not express it. In fact, he directly ranked the four children in order: the eldest Lin Wenyi (1987.3), the second Lin Wenhua (1987.11), the third Lin Wenjie (1988.11), the eldest Si Lin Shiwen (1988.11)... Maybe there will be an old 21!

Walking into the middle villa of the three villas, the whole family is there, so lively!

Lin Zuhui and his seven wives ate at a large rectangular dining table. He sat alone at the head of the table, with seven wives on both sides.

And the four children are naturally taken care of by nannies. Even when eight people have dinner, 4 nannies are busy.

At this time, there were already 16 live-in maids in these three villas;

If they move into the "Lin's Palace" on Nanwan Road at the end of the year, the maids on both sides will be re-selected, and 20 live-in maids will be selected to serve in the villas on Nanwan Road.

Of course, the rest will not be dismissed, these villas need to be looked after by servants.Generally, only maids with poor performance and misconduct will be dismissed.

With a salary and living in a villa, this job is not to mention how good it is.

The nanny poured red wine for Lin Zuhui, and asked women who could drink in turn if they wanted it!

In fact, Lin Zuhui occasionally wants to drink some white wine, but he can always control his desire, unless he has to socialize, he will not drink white wine. He feels that strong alcohol hurts the brain, and he is a person who relies on his brain for food.Even red wine, he usually drinks in moderation and doesn't drink too much.

Eating food that is not inferior to high-end restaurants, enjoying expensive red wine, and looking at the seven fairies, isn't this life more comfortable than Wei Xiaobao's life in Tongchi Island with his seven wives?

Lin Zuhui said to Wang Zuxian: "Why did you drive your grandpa back to Taiwan? I haven't had a few meals with everyone yet?"

Wang Zuxian gave birth to a daughter, her family all came from Taiwan, Lin Zuhui still had two meals with them, and sent someone to take them to play!

Wang Zuxian, who had only been out of the delivery room for a week, looked pretty good, and said softly, "They all have something to do, so they're going back to Taiwan!"

Guan Jiahui joked: "Aren't you afraid that Grandpa Wang will scold you?"

Lin Zuhui gave this woman a hard look, who is he, how dare Grandpa Wang Zuxian scold him!

Speaking of it, among the seven fairies, only Wang Zuxian's family is the most difficult to deal with, but that is only relative.Long before Wang Zuxian became pregnant, Lin Zuhui asked Wang Zuxian to buy two big houses on Taiwan Island for her two brothers, without letting her parents and elders know; after Wang Zuxian was pregnant for more than a few months, Wang Zuxian began to showdown.

It is conceivable that with short manpower, when Lin Zuhui invited her family members to come to Hong Kong, basically no major problems occurred.As for Mr. Wang, he also couldn't escape the explanation of the two elder grandsons.

The families of the other fairies are much easier to deal with, and the Xiangjiang people's ability to accept this is still very strong.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "When you can walk away, take your parents to Canada to look at the house first, and you will pay for it!"

Although he is still in debt, he will still give these women 500 million a year, and he cannot let them live on their wages.

Wang Zuxian's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Thank you Brother Hui!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Thank you, it's your own money anyway!"

Having said that, if these women have such a large expenditure, they will still discuss it with Lin Zuhui.Lin Zuhui will make a decision only after he agrees, because he once said that "the wealth given to them needs to be inherited by his children in the future".

And usually they will give their parents at home, about 30 living expenses per person per year, only parents!

The reason for giving money is very simple, that is to make their parents feel that their daughter's home is also very good.

After a while, Guan Jiahui asked: "How is the stock market and real estate market recently? Is it worth investing in?"

Lin Zuhui looked at this woman like this, this woman is really unbelievable!

Among all women, she is the most enthusiastic about investing and the richest.

"It's okay! I'll tell you what's going on, so as not to learn the same thing as last time!"

Guan Jiahui said proudly: "Although I bought a little higher last time, LEIT Group is a high-quality stock now, and its market value has risen to 18 billion. I still have to make money!"

Qiu Shuzhen released a cold arrow: "When I bought LEIT Group stock, the market value was only over 12 billion!"

Guan Jiahui's expression froze immediately, she gave Qiu Shuzhen a 'serious' look, and then transferred the conflict to Li Jiaxin.

"Sixth Sister didn't spend a penny, so she also got 3 shares!"

The implication is that you are not spending money!

Good guy, this is a family war!

Li Jiaxin said coldly and arrogantly: "Brother Hui took the initiative to give it to me!"

Just when Lin Zuhui was excited to watch the fun, Wang Lingyin coughed and said, "Sisters, sisters, stop arguing. Aren't they all gifted by Brother Hui? How much did you spend? What can be compared?"

All the flags and drums fell silent immediately. Firstly, the words made sense, and secondly, Wang Lingyin's status was high.

At this time, Cai Ning brought up another topic: "I read the reports, and they all said that the boss is borrowing heavily again. I thought, why not cancel the Chow Tai Fook jewelry door-to-door and let us choose, we have so many jewelry Already!"

All the girls looked at Lin Zuhui one after another, their eyes full of worry!

Lin Zuhui smiled and said to Cai Ning: "My son will call me daddy now, don't call me boss anymore, I've had enough of this addiction! Call me Ah Hui!"

Cai Ning thought the same thing, the main reason is that his son is almost two years old, but it's a bit awkward to call him 'Ahui'; however, it is not allowed to call him husband at home, so he can only call him privately!

"Ah...Hui!"

Guan Jiahui immediately covered her mouth and snickered, she was used to calling her a long time ago, there were only two women in the family who were older than Lin Zuhui, so it would definitely not work to be called 'Brother Hui'.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then said: "I borrowed money to invest and earn more money. It's not that I have a problem with my funds! However, at Chow Tai Fook, the order is over, let's stop first! In a few years, wait for the channel of Luk Fook Jewelry Open it, you can choose again!"

The girls naturally have no objections!

In fact, spending millions of dollars a month on jewelry is not a problem.

But after the freshness is over, so be it!
