Hong Kong's new giants

……

Friday, April 11.

Lin Zuhui brought several high-level executives to the inspection site of the "Wanchai Diwang" located on the south side of the Convention and Exhibition Center with great interest.

"The location is nothing to say! The east side is Fleming Road, the south side is Gloucester Road, and the north side is Harbor Road. These three sides are adjacent to the road, which means that the ground floor of the building is very suitable for a shopping mall."

Chen Bin asked: "The boss plans to build skyscrapers?"

Everyone looked sideways, the Hong Kong government has stipulated a plot ratio of 18 times, which means a total floor area of ​​140 million square feet!As for how to design, it is determined by the real estate itself, and then submitted to the Planning Department for approval.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Yes, I want to build the tallest building in Asia and the top ten famous buildings in the world!"

Everyone became excited immediately. As a real estate developer or real estate practitioner, no one can be said to have built a "famous building".

Chen Bin is a high-level executive majoring in civil engineering. He thought for a while and said: "If it is the tallest building in Asia, it may have more than 75 floors!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "How about the 78th floor? This will free up a lot of open space, which can be used as a square where performances can be held!"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement!

Lin Zuhui added: "How about designing the building as a triangle?"

Wang Fu of Baohua Group said: "Will it offend the neighbors?"

Everyone nodded. The three corners of the triangle are sharp knives!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "The three sharp knives are retracted to form six small knives! It will not offend the neighbors, and the shape is unique enough. What do you think?"

Everyone applauded for a second, and Chen Bin said excitedly: "The Bank of China Building is three sharp knives, too domineering, but behind it is the official; and our shape is equivalent to the shape of the Bank of China Building, becoming more restrained, but we His strength is like six small knives, even worse than three sharp knives."

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "I have to find a designer to design my ideas properly, and then ask the master to comment a few words! Haha!"

Just when Lin Zuhui was laughing, a group of people came not far away, they were the Huang's father, son and subordinates of Sino Land.

"Lin Sheng, I'm so happy, it seems that this time is inevitable!" Huang Tingfang greeted him with a smile.

Lin Zuhui stretched out his right hand, greeted him with a smile, and said: "There, there, I just talked to them about romantic things, and I just feel it's funny!"

The faces of Huang's father and son froze, and they thought, you brought the executives here during working hours, and you are talking about romance, who are you fooling!

Huang Tingfang said: "Lin Sheng, instead of us fighting each other, how about we form a consortium?"

Lin Zuhui said tactfully: "Huang Sheng, you also know that our two families may not reach an agreement!"

The implication is that if you want to take the lead, you can only take the lead!

Huang Tingfang nodded and said, "Then we can only compete fairly!"

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile, and the faint confidence on his face made Huang Tingfang and his son feel uncertain.

In this bidding, the Huang family intends to take [-]% of the shares, Sino will hold [-]% of the shares, and the remaining [-]% are intended to be united with Sun Hung Kai.

Just now, Huang Tingfang thought of it on the spur of the moment, thinking that if he wins over Lin Zuhui and forms a consortium, he will basically win.

However, what Lin Zuhui meant was also very clear, that is, he must account for at least [-]% of the total. This is obviously not acceptable to the Huang family.

After a few brief chats, Lin Zuhui led the people away from the scene.

Although everyone is a competitor, they don't make enemies in private. After all, this is a shopping mall, and there is competition everywhere. If you make enemies every time, then there will be enemies everywhere.

On the contrary, this time it is a competitor. If there is a suitable opportunity, it may be a cooperative ally next time.

After Lin Zuhui and others left, Huang Zhixiang said, "Dad, are we going to fight to the end this time?"

Huang Tingfang shook his head and said: "We need to study the market price first, and then determine the price in our minds. We can't fight to the end. Even Guo Desheng may not be willing to compete for a piece of land with a price that is too much higher than the market price! Also, look at the new era. After the piece of land is bought at a high price, it will cause losses if it starts construction. It can only be preserved there and wait for the real estate to appreciate before developing it. As a result, New Times Group has also incurred high debts. If Lin Zuhui himself is not very popular with investors, it will be replaced by us Try it, or it will drag the company down!"

He could see clearly that Xinhe was not a new era and would not be sought after by investors, and the Huang family mainly took family investment as their flagship, so it was impossible to put all their eggs in one basket.

Huang Zhixiang nodded in disappointment. The auction has not yet started, and they have already lost in momentum!

Huang Tingfang patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Going all out, not giving in. When did our Huang family ever be stingy at an auction, Lin Zuhui may not be able to fight us!"

Huang Zhixiang was shocked and said, "Yes, maybe we think Lin Zuhui too highly!"

Chapter 273 [Response from all parties]

When he returned to Hengjin Investment that day, Li Hao happily walked to Lin Zuhui's office.

"Boss, USD/JPY has fallen to 120.5 points, creating a record low!"

Lin Zuhui nodded calmly. Although he didn't have this memory, he had predicted it in advance!

"Have you bought the previous 45 billion funds (4.5 million deposit)?"

Li Hao said: "Well, I have already bought it, and the average price is 121.5 points!"

Lin Zuhui asked again: "How much money did the previous short sellers get back?"

Li Hao replied: "6.3 million has been withdrawn, and a profit of 3.3 million! At present, we are starting to buy in batches, and we expect to buy in 5 trading days!"

Lin Zuhui was very satisfied, he made a lot of money with his ability, this time he didn't rely entirely on his memory, but basically relied on his ability.

In fact, the richer you are, the more beneficial you are to do finance, because you have a good attitude!

When USD/JPY was at 134 points, he started shorting. At that time, the winning and losing components were half and half, that is to say, USD/JPY might rise to 148 points, then he would liquidate his position!

Of course, because he has money, he might choose to make a margin call, because he knows that it is unlikely to exceed 160 points, but a drop of 120 points is certain.

Because of his good mentality, he only needs to wait for the result during the period!

And when USD/JPY started to plummet to 126, his thought at the time was that it might fall to 120-123.After he has a good mentality, he will not make mistakes in his operation. Once the price falls to his heart, he will start buying and close the previous short selling order.

This time it is equivalent to investing 108 billion Hong Kong dollars in USD/JPY (10.8 billion margin), because 120-122 points was the lowest price in the past four years, so Lin Zuhui didn't worry at all.

If there is a Wall Street tycoon trying to change the history in vain, and specifically to grab Lin Zuhui's 10.8 billion funds (actually only 7.5 million was paid out, and the other is earned), then he will not hesitate to add a [-] billion deposit.

He doesn't lack 20 billion, and he can afford to lose, but he just wants to see-whether history is really easy to be changed!

You know, if you want to swallow his 20 billion, I am afraid that the yen will have to appreciate sharply, and the dollar/yen will fall to around 100 points, which is really an exaggeration.For its own 20 billion, how many hundreds of billions of funds should Wall Street use?

If Wall Street doesn't care about his funds, then Lin Zuhui will just sit back and wait to make money!

According to the inflation situation in the United States in the past few years, Lin Zuhui has predicted that the USD/JPY will probably rise above 1989 points next year (140), which is equivalent to 1.7 times the profit (18 billion).

……

In the box of the Furama Hotel, Lin Zuhui and Lee Shau Kee sat together for a meal appointment.

In fact, it was Lee Shau Kee who took the initiative to find him, and Lin Zuhui also understood what he meant.

After the two sat down, Li Zhaoji asked Lin Zuhui to order, Lin Zuhui pushed back modestly and let the elders order first.

Lee Shau Kee smiled and pushed back, saying: "You order, I don't care what I eat!"

Lin Zuhui only started to order this time, and said with a smile: "That's true, I have also heard the story of the tenth sister, the servant of the fourth uncle!"

Lee Shau Kee smiled and waved his hands, expressing humility!

The story also came from Henderson:

[Lee Shau Kee usually has lunch at the company if he does not have a lunch date that day, and Lee Shau Kee eats quite simply.For a while, the maid who served him for lunch, Shi Jie, often prepared him beef rice with an egg for lunch.

Lee Shau Kee's secretary Kwok Chi Wan once asked Tenth Sister: "Why do you always stick to one dish? Can you cook some new dishes for the boss to eat?"

Sister Ten said: "He is the boss, he can ask me to change the dishes at any time, he eats up every time, doesn't it prove that he likes minced beef rice?"

Later, the personnel department transferred Ms. Ten to another floor to be in charge of the tea service, so another maid, Ms. Li, took care of the boss's lunch.The new maid who took over made another side dish and sent it to Lee Shau Kee.

He was very happy and couldn't help saying: "Haha, there are new dishes."

Henderson's colleagues spread this as a good story, and Lee Shau Kee's unassuming and modest character was even more respected. 】

These veteran rich men in Xiangjiang are actually very frugal in their lives.

However, Lin Zuhui, Liu Luanxiong and other new rich people have completely different styles. Only by enjoying the best will they be more motivated to make money.

After chatting for a while, Lee Shau Kee said: "This time you bid for the Wan Chai land king, is it certain that you will win?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It is bound to be a little serious, but we will definitely go all out!"

Li Zhaoji laughed, and then said slowly: "If you go all out, Superman Li will suffer!"

In the eyes of many veteran rich men, Lin Zuhui's financial strength seems to be inexhaustible; everyone also speculates that Lin Zuhui is good at finance, and must have made a lot of money in Hong Kong's securities market, foreign exchange, and gold.

In this way, Lin Zuhui often uses his own money to subsidize the company (right issue to raise funds), which makes perfect sense.

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "I developed late, so it is inevitable that I will have to compete with everyone, but I believe that as long as it is a fair competition, it will be the atmosphere that our Xiangjiang shopping mall should have!"

Lee Shau Kee nodded in approval. Outsiders said that several major real estate developers 'monopolized' Hong Kong's economy, and they themselves were very helpless; everyone has funds in their hands, don't they use them for investment, but deposit them in banks?

Then, Lee Shau Kee took the initiative to mention: "This time you are bidding for the Wan Chai land king, do you welcome me to take a share?"

He knew that Lin Zuhui was bound to win, but he didn't have the strength to bid alone (the funds could not be opened), so he wanted to join the party with the highest hope of success.

Lin Zuhui said without hesitation: "How about [-]%?"

Doing business in Xiangjiang, you can't promote cooperation, even if you earn a little less, you can cooperate if you can!

Lee Shau Kee nodded and said, "I just want to participate, [-]% is enough!"

He didn't have the funds to bid alone, so he decided to join the party with greater hope of victory; and he heard that Sun Hung Kai joined Sino Land, so he had no choice but to join New Times Group.

At this time, Lin Zuhui re-planned the shareholding ratio: 5% for Huaren Real Estate, 3% for the Lin family, and 2% for Henderson.

Don't participate in the new era, keep the funds in the account for loan repayment and next year's business activities!

At this time, New Era Group holds 55% of the shares of China Real Estate. When the stock market crashes next year, Lin Zuhui plans to control the shareholding to 75%, or directly privatize it (depending on the situation, not malicious privatization).In this way, the New Times Group can share more of the profits of Chinese real estate, and the Lin family can also share more in the future.

Lin Zuhui added: "It's a good thing that fourth uncle joined us! But I need to communicate with you. I will do my best. In addition, there may be fierce competition with the Huang family, so the unit price of this auction must be high!"

Li Zhaoji said with a smile: "Only [-]% of the shares, I don't dare to gamble, you are too underestimating me!"

Lin Zuhui responded: "I am worried that you will say that I act impulsively!"

Lee Shau Kee waved his hand and said, "I know you will win, so I came to join you. But I'm curious, how much do you expect to invest in this project?"

Lin Zuhui said: "I think it should be 50 billion to 60 billion, including land and construction costs! Although the investment is large, in the long run, the cost return and profit will not be wrong!"

Lee Shau Kee is a real estate developer and knows the market. Although the price is high, it is not unacceptable.This year, the rent of office buildings hit a record high. The monthly rent of the Exchange Building in Central is as high as 75 yuan per square foot, making it the most expensive office building in the world, and it is still rising.

The first-class commercial buildings in Wanchai can also reach 40 yuan per square foot per month (the exchange building is the most expensive in Central, and the average in Central is about 50 yuan per square foot). If calculated by multiplying by 100, then the floor area of ​​the first-class commercial buildings in Wanchai The price is 4000 yuan per square foot; the floor area of ​​Central Plaza is 140 million square feet, so after the construction is successful, it will be worth 56 billion at the current price, but the actual value may be higher.

Although real estate will plummet by 30% to 35% next year, it will actually rise back to the level before the plunge in less than a year.

The more this is the case, the more convenient it is for Lin Zuhui to buy the bottom!

Because no one can see the situation clearly in a short period of time, not even the four major families, but Lin Zuhui can.

Finally, Lee Shau Kee asked Lin Zuhui: "What do you think of Cheung Kong this time?"

Lin Zuhui said directly: "Li Chaoren has always refused to go all out in this kind of business project, so don't worry, fourth uncle! The overseas investment he cares about is global!"

In the previous life, Cheung Kong was so great, but in fact there were very few buildings. Li Chaoren even sold 350% of the interest in Central Center for 75 billion.

Li Zhaoji was taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Zuhui to see his friends so clearly, he is really a great talent.He thought to himself that it would be no problem for Lin Zuhui to join the five major families, but he didn't know how many years it took.

No one can stop this young man!

……

No. 12 Repulse Bay, Zheng's Villa.

Zheng Yutong, Zheng Jiachun, Zheng Jiacheng, father and son are also discussing about the Wanchai land king.

Zheng Yutong said, "Do you want to bid alone?"

Zheng Jiachun nodded and said, "I want to try alone, but I won't be reckless!"

Zheng Yutong sighed, and said: "I know you are high-minded and unwilling to follow behind Ah Hui, it's understandable!"

Zheng Jiachun said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I am different from Ah Hui. I will not only have the style of a new generation of businessmen, but also inherit your tradition. If you want to combine the two, you will definitely develop better than the new era!"

Zheng Yutong nodded, he believed in his son's ability very much, after all, he had followed him for so many years; he also knew that his son had certain recognition for the acquisition methods of Lin Zuhui, Liu Luanxiong, Luo Xurui and others, so it would be okay to let his son try.

"The plan for the new airport may be announced next year, so don't back down from Xiangjiang Xingye, and take 16% of their shares in the form of a share swap!"

Zheng Jiachun nodded. One proposal for the new airport will greatly increase the value of Discovery Bay, which is limitless. Therefore, it is very worthwhile to strengthen the relationship between the two companies through a share swap.

"Okay, father!"

In fact, Zheng Jiachun had a lot of projects in his mind at this time, so once he took office on New Year's Day next year (1989.1.1), he would immediately prepare for implementation.
