Hong Kong's new giants

So, what should the headquarters building of New Times Group do?

As far as Lin Zuhui knows, the only headquarters building in Central has run out of land.

However, after the airport plan comes out, land reclamation will be carried out on the northern part of the Exchange Square for the construction of the Hong Kong Station of the Airport MTR.And the property on top of this station is the part of the first and second phases of the international financial center and the shopping mall, which is also the landmark building of Xiangjiang, the tallest building (88 floors in the second phase) and the building with the largest single building area. (Phase II is 200 million square feet).

The entire project has about 400 million square feet of rental properties, but it is impossible to name the building 'New Era Center', because it has to be built into an international financial center in line with the overall plan (the government will participate in the planning).

If Lin Zuhui is determined to bid, the hope is almost very high!After all, at that time, his financial resources were probably unmatched by Xiangjiang, and he had already gone to the world.

Well, although the headquarters of New Era Group can be located in the Phase II building, the name of the building cannot be changed!

Well, this is also in line with Lin Zuhui's low-key character, so he will not reveal his wealth.

……

Back home at night, a group of women chattered about the 'speculation' of LEIT Group stocks this time, and everyone made a lot of money.

Guan Jiahui was the most proud, earning a full 1100 million, and the rest also earned more than 500 million.

Only Li Zi couldn't get in the way. She bought a house for her parents now. She has millions of cash in hand, but she has no assets because she can't hold it alone.

Li Zi looked a little lonely, she really wanted to hurry up to October, then she could invest with everyone.

Lin Zuhui was not a careless person. He came to Li Zi and said quietly: "Don't worry, I will give you a one-time compensation at that time, we will not lose to them!"

There are women who don't love money, and Li Zi has that gene. Seeing the happy life of her parents and younger brother these years, she feels the importance of money even more.

Li Zi happily kissed Lin Zuhui on the lips, and the two openly hugged each other.

"Stop arguing! No matter how fast we run, someone will take Lao Qi to fly!" Guan Jiahui said jealously.

This is normal. I was ahead of everyone by a large margin, but then someone took the plane and overtook me, so I was naturally a little bit reconciled.

Lin Zuhui let go of Li Zi, and said with a smile: "I'm absolutely fair! Lao Qi will only give her 3 points of LEIT Group shares, and then I will give her another 1000 million in cash. So, you don't have any objections, do you?"

As expected, the girls breathed a sigh of relief and accepted it!

Lin Zuhui turned his head and said to Li Zi: "Come to my room with your sister Guan at night, and I will help you reconcile!"

Li Zi immediately gave Lin Zuhui a punch, and became shy.

It's grown up, this woman!

In fact, this year, Lin Zuhui will give these women a lot of assets, at least one garden-style villa (worth between 3000 million and 8000 million, for reference: HSBC Taiban Powell's Yunfeng Residence on the top of Gfu Mountain, worth Only about 8000 million).At the same time, women who participate in future immigration will also receive a villa of equal value this year.

Beginning in August this year, Hengjin Investment will start cashing out of Japanese securities until the end of December.According to the current market value, the conservative profit is 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the withdrawn funds are 100 billion.

Therefore, he has really achieved financial freedom, and it is time to consider buying a home.

Chapter 3 and Two [Divide Yongji]

In the meeting room of Wing On Group, Chinese Land and New World Development were invited to negotiate.

Since the stock market crash, the Guo family has known Lin Zuhui's true thoughts, which is to take advantage of the low market to privatize the Wing On Group; A total of 51% of the shares.

The reason why the attack was delayed before was because the public opinion was too strong, or the stock price was too high.

Not long after sitting down, Guo Zhiliang couldn't wait to say: "Lin Sheng, Zheng Sheng, if this goes on, everyone will suffer from three losses. Why don't we shake hands and make peace?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and shook his head!

That smile originally gave people a feeling of spring breeze, but in the eyes of the members of the Guo family, it was like a stick in the throat, and the air was blowing from the body.

"According to the highest price of 24 yuan in the stock market crash, I bought your 7900 million shares, which will cost about 19 billion! I can get a nearly century-old company and a large number of properties. Why not do it? You know, we Chinese buyers In the account, there are billions of Hong Kong dollars in liquidity."

The Guo family immediately glared at each other, and Lin Zuhui didn't care about them!

Zheng Jiachun immediately echoed: "We have already paid too much, so we must achieve our goal, otherwise why should we hand over the fruits of victory to you?"

Guo Zhiliang said painfully: "Those three buildings are the core assets of our Wing On Group!"

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "Compared to your ancestral property, property assets are now full of cheap goods! Your Guo family was not at ease with each other, so why bother to hang on too much! What's more, you understand your situation very well. , that means you have already lost. If it didn’t take time to prepare funds, I would have already controlled Yongji.”

The members of the Guo family finally understood that Lin Zuhui had made up his mind, and if the stalemate continued, they would not even be able to keep Yongji.

After a long time, Guo Zhiliang said: "I agree to your request and sell the three buildings to your company, but at the same time, you need to sell 8% of the shares to our designated banking institution at a fair price!"

At present, the stock of Yongan Group has fallen to more than 10 yuan per share (not delisted), and it is still acceptable to sell at a par price.

Lin Zuhui glanced at Zheng Jiachun, meaning to let the New World Group go out first. Of course Zheng Jiachun nodded happily. Although the loss per share was a little bit, the merger is hopeful.

Lin Zuhui said: "The value of the building has dropped by 19%. Wing On Center is 14 billion, and the other two buildings are [-] billion. They are sold at this price."

Guo Zhiliang immediately said: "Where will the high-quality buildings fall so much?"

Lin Zuhui finally sneered and said, "That's compensation for our acquisition expenses. It can be said that the shares in our hands have incurred a lot of losses! Moreover, high-quality buildings will fall so much, and now all foreign-funded institutions in Hong Kong are withdrawing , without their lease, the rent of the office building will not be slowed down within three to five years. Guo Sheng, think about it carefully, if it were you, would you buy the property at a premium now?"

Zheng Jiachun couldn't help admiring Lin Zuhui's big appetite, he had hoped to reduce the price by [-]%!

In fact, Guo Zhiliang had already reached this point, so he made a gesture with several members of the Guo family, and then nodded in submission.

That's right, surrender!

Guo Zhiliang finally said: "How do you plan to deal with Lin Sheng's shares?"

Lin Zuhui smiled mysteriously, and then said: "I plan to help you find an ally, otherwise Yong'an Department Store may find it difficult to break through!"

Guo Zhiliang suddenly felt amused, and said, "Mr. Lin is still so kind? I don't know which bank he plans to sell to?"

Lin Zuhui did not lie to Guo, and said: "I remember Japan's Seiyu Co., Ltd., which has discussed cooperation with you many times but failed! Personally, I think that Wing On Department Store can only take on a new look if it joins the advanced management and purchase channels of Japanese department stores. Of course, I am not Worry about your affairs, but others are interested in the stocks in my hands, who told you that you can't eat them!"

Zheng Jiachun was speechless. Just now he thought that Lin Zuhui asked him to sell the stocks first, so that New World Development could cash out first.Unexpectedly, after a long time, they have already figured out a way out.

I have to admire it!

Guo Zhiliang said: "I hope everyone will discuss this matter before we discuss it, and complete the comprehensive transaction first!"

Lin Zuhui said: "It is possible, but I have a capital of 17 yuan per share. Even if I am willing to discount 16 yuan, other companies may not be interested!"

Guo Zhiliang said helplessly: "We will try our best to complete the disposal of the shares in Lin Sheng's hands!"

Lin Zuhui just gave up, he has actually made money this time!

After all, Wing On Center was worth 27 billion before the plunge, and he can buy it now for 19 billion, which is enough to offset the 8 million acquisition of 25% of Wing On.You know, even if the high-quality buildings in Central have fallen by [-]%, others will not sell them now.

What's more, there is hope that the Yongji stock in Lin Zuhui's hands can be sold at a fair price.As for the malicious privatization of Yongji, he still doesn't want to bear the notoriety, so let's just accept it!

Wing On Center is located on the opposite side of Exchange Tower [-], only one Connaught Road in the middle, and only one Pottinger Street from 'Wing On Center' is Hong Kee Building and Chinese Bank Building.

Therefore, if Hong Kee Building and Chinese Bank Building are successfully merged, Chinese Property can own a first-class commercial building of 100 million square feet in this location, which greatly strengthens the allocation of office buildings in Central.

Walking out of Wing On Group, Zheng Jiachun said with a smile: "You are easy to talk about today, why did you change your mind and not buy Wing On Group!"

The two are actually competitors now, New World, Henderson, and Evergreen. The three companies formed a consortium and recently participated in the bidding for the "Garden Land King" project.

Therefore, when Guo Zhiliang proposed a settlement, Lin Zuhui thought it was feasible!

New World needs to spend another 14 billion to buy Yongan Building and Yongan Life Insurance Building, which will inevitably lead to a large increase in debt, so the bidding will naturally be cautious.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Isn't this our goal from the beginning? Now we just took advantage of the low market to reach a deal. Moreover, people at the scene were panic-stricken, and this deal was taken for granted. Everyone thought Guo was taking a fortune!"

Zheng Jiachun was taken aback, his good friend would "get a bargain and act like a good boy", but it made sense.Now that we have bought a few buildings, it can be said that the impact will be very small. We think properties are being sold all over Hong Kong.

The two chatted some non-work words, and then separated.

Zheng Jiachun is the head of a large group and has his own analysis of the situation. He would not ask Lin Zuhui about those.If the two usually get together, they will talk about romance.

Now there is a "Zheng Lin Group" circulating on Hong Kong Island, which refers to a group led by Zheng Yutong and Lin Zuhui. The members include Da Liu, Yang Shoucheng, Poon Dickson...etc.The group gets together occasionally, very obviously.

This team will probably be called the "Big D Club" in the future, but with Lin Zuhui as a giant in this world, the influence may be more than doubled.

……

Back at Huaren Real Estate, Lin Zuhui said to Gao Yi: "The owner of the Huaren Bank Building, put forward our quotation and try to complete the merger within this period of time."

Gao Yi asked, "A [-]% price drop?"

In the conference room of Wing On Group, everyone thought it was unbelievable that the Central Building could be bought at a [-]% price reduction; it was only later that everyone realized that the boss was not here to negotiate the price, but to rob.

At present, the properties in Xiangjiang have indeed fallen by 30-35%, but like high-quality buildings in Central, the owners will not sell cheap buildings.They can at least choose to recover a little bit before making a move. After all, it is not a war.

Lin Zuhui said: "The price has dropped by [-]%, let's talk first! Don't go to Cen Caisheng's place, I know him, I will visit him later!"

Cen Caisheng is the chairman of the Newspaper Association, and Lin Zuhui is the vice-chairman. There are people who don't know each other.Cen's "Overseas Chinese Daily" has been established for more than 60 years. Cen Caisheng himself holds some public positions in society and has some influence.

"Ok!"

After Gao Yi left, Lin Zuhui leaned back on the seat and began to think.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, neither New Era Group nor Huaren Land did not enter the securities market to buy bottoms. There are two reasons:

First, the current market value of Xiangjiang stock market is only more than 4000 billion, and Lin Zuhui personally invested 30 billion. He is worried that the impact will be too large.

Second, a Chinese home owner with heavy debts is more conducive to privatization at the end of the year.

……

When Lin Zuhui came to the headquarters of "Overseas Chinese Daily", some employees watched Lin Zuhui pass by curiously, with no trace of surprise on their faces.Probably not, they thought that Lin Zuhui was going to buy "Overseas Chinese Daily".

Under Cen's old-school management, "Huaqiao Daily" has lost to the newcomers in the newspaper industry in the later period, and has gradually declined. Its current sales volume is only more than 3 copies.As far as Lin Zuhui knows, none of Cen Caisheng's four children intends to inherit the ancestral business (the newspaper created by his grandfather), and Cen Caisheng is already 69 years old this year, and he may already have the idea of ​​quitting.

Led by the staff, Lin Zuhui came to Cen Caisheng's office, and the two greeted him warmly.

"Old Cen, you are in good spirits!"

"Zu Hui, I think you must be devastated!"

Both of their words have profound meanings, and they are nothing more than a question of the direction of newspaper public opinion.

Of course Lin Zuhui also has a headache, but he has a coup, which is to be the hands-off shopkeeper.Originally, he was a real estate tycoon. Wanhui Media has always been a decentralized management authority, and it is also a listed public company.

Of course, Lin Zuhui warned Long Jingchang and other management in advance that the newspaper publishers should not get too involved in those matters...

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: ""Daily Daily" is a "vulgar" newspaper, which is a newspaper for the public's entertainment. I think it is Jin Daxia who has a headache, haha!"

There should be a large part of the reason why Jin Daxia wants to retire. He has the character of a literati, but he doesn't want to make enemies.

It's hard to be a man in the middle!

Cen Caisheng couldn't help admiring Lin Zuhui's "hands-on" and said with a smile: "You are amazing!" The implication is that Wanhui Media has been very "hands-on" recently.

In fact, Lin Zuhui's work as a media is a double-edged sword. He not only gained a lot of influence, but also had to participate in it.

For example, if he wants to run satellite TV, he must import American TV content (four of the six channels broadcast foreign TV stations, so that people in Asian countries can see American TV stations). edge pressure.

Of course, if Li Cucumber could withstand it, so would Lin Zuhui.

He is a world businessman, he can't be a hero, but he must be patriotic!

After a brief chat, Lin Zuhui understood the purpose of his visit and said, "We, Huaren Properties, intend to merge Hongji Building and Huaren Bank Building. Mr. Cen, we are willing to buy 1.2% of the equity in your hand for [-] million!"

Cen Caisheng pondered for a moment and said, "Before the plunge, 1.5% of my shares were worth [-] million!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I can't say that completely. After all, he was not worth 1.2 million a year before the plunge. Now that Xiangjiang's foreign capital has withdrawn, I don't know how many years it will take for Xiangjiang's office buildings to recover. In addition, the real estate outside has fallen by more than [-]%. Because we are old friends, I don’t want to lower the price by [-]%, so I will trade by [-]%.”

Cen Caisheng said: "Aren't you a real estate friend of Xiangjiang? Why are you still so pessimistic about the real estate market?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's not bearish, but a fact. I'm still optimistic about Xiangjiang's real estate market, but I have to spend the sluggish years in between. Just like the negotiations in 1982, these years I don’t know how many real estate companies will go bankrupt.”

Cen Caisheng nodded and approved Lin Zuhui's words.The impact on real estate and securities is so great this time, and it is true that it will not recover in a short time.

His 1.2% interest may be able to wait until a few years later to restore the price before the plunge, but it is a big deal for others to merge the building, and besides holding [-] million, he can also invest and make a profit.

"Okay, if you are so straightforward, I won't bargain!"

This is how the two sides reached an agreement!

In fact, no matter whether the merger is successful or not, it is not a loss to buy [-]% of the shares in Cen Caisheng's hands.

After all, the two buildings will not be dismantled if all the conditions are not fulfilled, so the [-]% interest in the Huaren Bank Building can still bring stable income.

So this deal, no matter what, will not lose money!

What Lin Zuhui didn't expect was that the merging of the Chinese Bank Building went very smoothly. In just one month, Chinese Real Estate bought all the shares, spending a total of 1 million yuan.At this time, I will not talk about it for the time being.

Chapter 3 and Three [Atlantis Hotel]

Friday, April 6.

Lin Zuhui and his team came to the Furama Hotel. Today is the last day of the hotel's business, and it will start renovation from tomorrow. The construction period is 20 months, and the total investment is estimated to be 1.2 million yuan.

In the next two and a half years in Xiangjiang, the tourism industry will become less prosperous, so it is very appropriate to choose to decorate at this time.And Lin Zuhui started planning the renovation of the Furama Hotel half a year ago, and he didn't waste any time.

In fact, in the 21st century, the Furama Hotel will still be demolished and rebuilt by Lin Zuhui.Therefore, the renovation cost of 1.2 million yuan this time can only be used for ten years.
