Hong Kong's new giants

Of course, he believes that in ten years, the Furama Hotel can make him a net profit of more than 12 billion, which is not considered a loss.What's more, he at least has a five-star hotel in Central as his background, and when he occasionally walks into his own hotel, the feeling is always different.

The Furama Hotel covers an area of ​​less than 3 square feet, but because it is in Central and is close to Victoria Harbour, the value of the land alone is already at 10 billion.If it is not for the small footprint, it is estimated that the highest reconstruction will be 40 floors, otherwise it can be used as the headquarters building of New Times Group.

After the visit, everyone came to the meeting room of Furama Hotel.

Lin Zuhui said: "The investment in Cathay Pacific City is all medium and long-term projects, so the company's debt remains high (12 billion), and the interest swallows up a lot of net profit. So this year, we are going to privatize him! Only in the group With the direct support of the hotel, the hotel industry in the new era can develop faster!"

At the beginning, Cathay City used the stock market to develop. Now that its assets are huge, it needs the direct support of New Era Group, so privatization is a must.

At this time, the projects invested by Cathay Pacific City include: 34.9% equity of Grand Hotel, 51% equity of Furama Hotel, Manila Hilton Hotel, 51% equity of Constellation Hotel in Canada (listed company), 51% equity of Aircoa Hotel Management Group in the United States.

The assets are very large, but the profit situation is not good. The dividends of big hotels are not much at present, and the Hilton Hotel in Manila has just started to make profits. The rest of the projects are medium and long-term investments, and the annual net profit is not too much.

With an asset value of nearly 60 billion, the annual profit is less than 2 million, and the current market value is currently less than 15 billion.

At present, New Times Group holds 60% of Cathay City Hotel Management, so the price of privatization in November will not be high.

Everyone nodded, Li Mingtao, the vice president, said: "Fortunately, the Hilton Hotel in Manila can make a profit. According to your instructions, we negotiated with the local government to lease a huge part of the mall to the Manila government as a casino. The rent is ten times higher than the rent of the mall. , can be described as very cost-effective!"

Everyone praised the boss's remote command, which can also achieve very good results.

It turned out that there was a large shopping mall in the Hilton Hotel in Manila, but the rent was very cheap and he was not satisfied with the rent; therefore, Lin Zuhui instructed to negotiate with the local government first and lease it to them as a casino (there was a small casino in the first place), and immediately gained ten times The rent also drives the growth of the hotel industry.

The Philippines is now vigorously supporting the gambling industry in order to develop tourism, so the Hilton Hotel in Manila just caught up.Another 200 rooms will be put into use next year, and profits will grow even more.

Logically speaking, the hotel industry is a mid-to-long-term investment, but the Manila Hilton Hotel is a very cost-effective investment, with a total investment of 1400 million US dollars. It is expected that all the capital will be recovered in 1992, and the rest will be profit every year.

This meeting determined the policy of Cathay City Hotel Management Company for the next one or two years, mainly to continue investing in the hotel management network, and secondly to continue investing in hotels in Canada.These investments are not high. In fact, the company is equivalent to a stage of capital consolidation.

Lin Zuhui's idea is that once the New Times Group has a large amount of profits every year (expected to start in the 90s), it can invest heavily in the hotel industry.

Owning a luxurious and luxurious hotel brand is naturally a symbol of a family, and the luxury hotel brand of the Lin family is called Atlantis Hotel, a luxury hotel in the tropical rainforest and water world.

In the future, relying on the New Times Group, the Lin family will participate in the investment and can invest in luxury hotels in Maldives, Bali, Hawaii, Sanya and other places.

……

weekend.

Lin Zuhui dragged Wang Lingyin to Deep Water Bay No. 75. The overall construction of this villa was almost completed; however, Lin Zuhui planned to decorate it luxuriously, and it was estimated that he would have to wait two years, probably in 1992 before he could move in.

It will take a total of five years to build a real Lin family's ancestral home "Lin's mansion".

The eight villas on Nanwan Road can only be regarded as Lin Zuhui's palace, while No. 75 Deep Water Bay is a real "palace".

When they came to Deep Water Bay No. 75, both of them couldn't help yearning for it.

The entire Villa No. 75 in Deep Water Bay has five floors in total, including the basement, podium, and the first, second, and third floors.

The basement is not a garage, but a treasure house and a multi-functional entertainment room;

The height of the podium is equivalent to the height of a two-and-a-half-story building, and the "podium" is equivalent to a huge base, occupying an area of ​​more than 1.6 square feet; the rest of the area is a small courtyard, and residences for bodyguards and servants small building.There are garages, tennis courts, indoor swimming pool, gym, etc. in the podium.

The entire podium is also equivalent to a function of protecting privacy and security, protecting Lin Zuhui and his family.

Above the podium is a huge site of 1.6 square feet, on which a three-story European-style villa is built, with a total floor area of ​​more than 20000 square feet.The front of the villa is the swimming pool, the side is the lawn, the garden, and the podium is surrounded by marble fences.

Although the entire villa is close to Deep Water Bay Road, the tourists passing by have no way of seeing the appearance of the villa. When they pass by, they only see a huge podium wall, and there are plants and rockeries around it as concealed protection; of course, there are A curving road leads to the villa, but there must be security guards at the door, which is quite imposing.

Throughout the construction process of the villa, international safety experts provided safety advice.

"Brother Hui, Wenjie will be four years old by the time he can move in!" Wang Lingyin said yearningly.

Such a large and extravagant mansion is standard for the top rich in Xiangjiang.Moreover, it is in the place of Deep Water Bay, which symbolizes that her husband has grown to the level of veteran rich men such as Li Chaoren and the charter king.As the official woman of the Lin family and the woman that Ming Media is marrying, she is naturally proud.

No woman can stand at this height at the age of 20, and there are only European royal families and world-class veteran families.For her husband's ambitions, she certainly knows that, although she often feels uncomfortable about her husband's flirtatious affairs, she tells herself to learn to obey.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "The Spring Festival of [-] should be here! Wenjie is not yet four years old!" When it comes to Wenjie, he always has a feeling that he attaches more importance to it.

Wang Lingyin did some calculations, and there were only two and a half years left, and she felt a lot happier.

After a while, Lin Zuhui said: "The land in Shek O has been approved, with an area of ​​26000 square feet. In the 90s, another mansion will be built. After the construction is completed, it can be used as a vacation."

In Shi'ao's previous life, there were only 22 mansions in total. There was a Shek'ao Country Club, which was on the verge of Shek'ao Bay, and the surrounding environment was beautiful and peaceful.

Wang Lingyin was not surprised. There was no need to question the strength of his man, and he had a soft spot for luxury houses.What's more, he still has so many women and children, so he might buy more than a dozen houses. Although they won't be as luxurious, they must be the best properties in Xiangjiang.

……

The vast majority of Xiangjiang people do not have the strength to immigrate. A Canadian immigration quota requires about 20 Canadian dollars (150 million Hong Kong dollars).Therefore, how should ordinary citizens live, and how should they live.

At the beginning of a new week, ATV began to promote "Who Is a Millionaire". At such an appropriate time, it seemed as if a depth charge had been dropped in Xiangjiang.

How much is 100 million Hong Kong dollars?

For Lin Zuhui, that amount of money is not enough to qualify!

But for most citizens of Xiangjiang, 100 million is an 'astronomical figure'.

The per capita income in Hong Kong is 8000-15000 yuan, and the median income is around 6000 yuan. The monthly salary of a degree teacher (with an undergraduate degree recognized by the Hong Kong government) is 12000-35000 yuan, and the monthly salary of a diploma classroom is 10000-25000 yuan.

100 million can now buy a 700-square-foot ordinary house (only for these few months), solving the housing problems of many people!

For a time, the citizens were discussing heatedly!

An ordinary family teacher: "Just answer 15 questions correctly, and you can get 100 million! God, knowledge can really change your destiny. My son is from Hong Kong Island University, let him participate!"

A professional writer: "I didn't expect that the books I have studied hard for decades will finally come in handy today. I want to participate in this program!"

All of a sudden, those who participated in the registration flocked to the radio channel for interviews!

That's right, an interview is required, otherwise there will be so many people needed to record a show!

TVB is like an enemy!

This seems to have become the norm. The former defeated opponent is now a match, and even better in some aspects.

ATV's "Bao Qingtian" aired this year has an average rating of 36 points. There is no doubt that it will be the champion of this year's ratings. It is like a god.The important thing is that "Bao Qingtian" has hundreds of episodes, and it may become the ratings champion for two consecutive years.

Uncle Shao Liu from TVB was so anxious. He originally wanted to ask if Taiwan CTV could also sell it to TVB, but it turned out that the copyright was in the hands of ATV.Although this is a series co-produced by the two parties, the investor is ATV.

ATV was in full bloom, and Uncle Liu's worth began to shrink immediately!

Wireless, which was originally worth 100 billion, is now valued at 70 billion by some people, which has shrunk by [-]%.

Through interviews with citizens and surveys, most citizens believe that ATV will start in the 90s, and it will form a [-]-[-] split with TVB.

An accidental success will never be praised by the public. Obviously, ATV is not an accidental success. How many popular programs have been broadcast.Now, even advertisers are beginning to favor ATV, which shows that the Hong Kong TV industry has indeed ushered in a new pattern.

81 Broadcast Drive.

Lin Zuhui flipped through the financial statements for the first five months of this year, and found an astonishing discovery - a loss of 3000 million.

NB!

You know, ATV is still investing heavily this year, and has not tightened financial constraints; ATV's staff has broken through to 2000, which shows how much it has spent.

Of course, a loss of 3000 million is something to be happy about. After all, according to this situation, this year will generate profits!

After a while, Selina Chow came to Lin Zuhui's office and handed over a selection plan and budget for 'Miss Asia'.

"Boss, the budget for this year's beauty pageant is 1200 million, and I arranged to go to Spain to shoot behind-the-scenes. The budget is more than 200 million!"

Lin Zuhui glanced at it casually. He seems to remember that there are two more famous Asian sisters this year, one is Weng Hong and the other is Wan Qiwen.

It seems that this year has a head!

"Well, it doesn't matter if you have a little more budget. This year is a crucial year! The beauty pageant stage should be magnificent and magnificent, using all modern technological means."

Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded and said, "Okay, boss!"

Lin Zuhui finally warned: ""Who Is a Millionaire" will be ATV's trump card program, you must watch it well, this program cannot allow scandals and big mistakes. I also want to sell the copyright and earn hundreds of millions! "

Zhou Liang Shuyi was a little shocked. Is this program so valuable?However, the boss's vision does not require her to comment, as everyone knows.

"Well, we attach great importance to it, and every link has been foolproof."

Lin Zuhui nodded, he didn't care about the details, he only looked at the specific effect.

If his creativity is wasted, or if there is a mistake, he will scold others.

Chapter 3 and Four [The No. [-] Mansion in Xiangjiang]

Friday, June 6.

Lin Zuhui personally sealed the bidding document for the 'Garden Land King', stamped it with a riding seal, and handed it to Liang Zhenxun.

"Hand it up! It's Monday, and we're ready to celebrate!"

Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "We must have won the bid. The market is so bad now. Of the six consortiums that entered the bid, only Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai are somewhat threatening. However, one of the two consortiums is not keen on commercial projects, and the other is keen on building shopping malls in new towns. (Sun Hung Kai) will not give too high a price!"

Lin Zuhui smiled, no one thought that in his previous life, Eagle King, a medium-sized real estate company on the verge of bankruptcy in 1983, picked up the leak, and the price was only 27 billion yuan.

He wanted to set the price at 30 billion several times, but he really didn't dare to be careless, lest he lose Jingzhou.

Therefore, in the end he firmly gave 30.99 billion!

"In my eyes, they are all my opponents! Similarly, they will also regard me as an opponent! Therefore, the competition between us will become more and more fierce in the future. However, the later the time, the gap between them and our strength The bigger they get, the more they will either cooperate with us or unite. Xiangjiang’s real estate prospects are very good, and in the end it will eliminate a large number of small and medium real estate companies and form a monopoly of large real estate companies.” Lin Zuhui made no secret of his ambition.

Liang Zhenxun was a little shocked in his heart. The major real estate developers adjusted their strategies one after another, and his own boss seemed to have seen a gold mine.Could it be that real estate will really recover soon?

Many people are saying that Xiangjiang will become a city for the poor, isn't the boss worried?

"The boss's grasp of the general situation is beyond the reach of all real estate, so the company suppressed them strategically!" Liang Zhenxun said in admiration.At this time, he also believed that Xiangjiang Real Estate would recover soon.

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui was in a very good mood, he wasn't nervous at all!

Looking at the stocks on the computer, his mood is even more beautiful. The Hang Seng Index is 2250 points, which is still a good opportunity to buy.And his personal 30 billion funds have already bought more than 20 billion, and it is expected that there will be no problem in buying all of them in early July.

At this time, he personally and his company did not immediately buy the bottom of real estate. After all, they could not react too quickly, giving people a strong feeling, and thus affecting history.

The bottom-hunting starts next week, and they are already regarded as real estate developers who respond very quickly.

A real estate company like Sun Hung Kai who likes to buy bottoms probably won't be able to react until at least October.After all, they are not time travelers, they will more or less analyze various forms before making a decision.

……

Great Eagle Properties.

Luo Yingshi and Luo Jiarui, father and son, are also determining the final price. They regard the New Era Group as their biggest opponent, so they have not been sure about the quotation.

Luo Yingshi said in a deep voice: "The New Era Group has not acted against the market recently, which means that their investment strategy has also become more cautious. I see, we will set the price at 27.8 billion yuan, and we will be able to beat everyone."

Luo Jiarui thought for a while and said, "To be safe, I think we should give it 28.8 billion! After all, the stock price in the market is between 25 and 30 billion. Of course, this is the previous stock price, and the new stock price is a little lower."

Luo Yingshi looked at his son's expression eager to win, and nodded secretly.

Eagle King almost went bankrupt five years ago, and another son, Luo Xurui, wanted to stand on his own, so he hurriedly summoned his third son, Luo Jiarui, who is a medical practitioner in the United States, to take the order.Sure enough, the third son lived up to his expectations, and spent five years assisting him to re-develop Great Eagle. Even if the real estate is lowered this year, Great Eagle may still achieve a profit of more than 8 million yuan.

"Okay, sure enough, one hundred million more will be one hundred million more!"

The father and son cautiously began to make the bidding documents and seal them, and then Luo Jiarui personally delivered the bidding documents.

……

Cheung Kong Industries.

Li Chaoren is also hesitating, he really wants to beat Lin Zuhui once, after all he has been defeated by Lin Zuhui twice and lost two large housing projects.

Of course, judging from the current situation in Xiangjiang, it may not be a loss, and he is not sure when the real estate will recover, although he is optimistic about Xiangjiang's future.If we learn from the time in 1982, the real estate industry has been sluggish for three years, but it took five years for the real estate to rise back to the peak price in 1981.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Chaoren finally showed a self-deprecating smile, and said in a low voice:

"How can you compete with a young man? He is only developing in a small place like Xiangjiang, but I have already set my sights on the world! The real estate market is so bad now. If the price of 'Garden Road Land King' is 30 billion, it is a sure win. But In this way, Changshi Light will need a full 60 billion investment in this project."

"Now that Xiangjiang's foreign capital is withdrawing, the office building will inevitably be in a long-term slump. The price is so high, it is very uneconomical!"

"Forget it, mark a price of 26 billion yuan, and see if you can catch it!"

In the end, Li Chaoren showed a smile as if he had let go of his knot.

In his view, although Lin Zuhui has developed rapidly, his international investment ability is really unbearable, so there is no need to spend too much effort on competition.After all, it is easy to cause mutual damage.

……

Six real estate consortiums submitted their bids one after another on Friday. Obviously, everyone wanted to 'buy the bottom' and 'find the leak'.

You must know that this piece of land was valued by experts at 50 billion to 55 billion in the first quarter. If there is no such sharp drop, the Hong Kong government will definitely come to auction, and 50 billion will definitely not be a problem.After all, in January, the Wanchai Landmark was auctioned for 1 billion.

In the afternoon, Lin Zuhui came to the office of Brewers, the HSBC executive.

Lin Zuhui is today, not because of the support of any bank, but because he is a favorite in the eyes of bankers;

But if you say which bank supports the most, it is not HSBC, but Citibank.

Of course, HSBC is the "quasi-central bank" of Xiangjiang, and Lin Zuhui also has a lot of loan business here, second only to Citibank.
