Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "I know this question, you want to ask me if I predicted this sharp drop?"

Steve nods!

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "There are signs of it in March... Also, Xiangjiang Real Estate and the stock market have skyrocketed again after the August [-]th crash. I think it may also fall into adjustment. Therefore, I accurately predicted this time. risk!"

Steve immediately admired Lin Zuhui's reasoning, but if these analyzes were published in newspapers, not many people would believe them!

After a long time, Steve said: "Your success is inevitable! I believe that you will soon show your amazing outlook on the world stage."

Lin Zuhui shook his head with a smile, and said: "The foundation of Xiangjiang has not been firmly established, how dare it develop in the world's business!"

Steve said curiously: "You Chinese businessmen have bought insurance overseas all these years, don't you worry?"

At this time, Lin Zuhui's overseas investment on the bright side is less than 10 billion, which is seriously inconsistent with his identity.Those like Li Chaoren have invested tens of billions or even tens of billions overseas.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I lived there when I was a child, and now I feel that compared with that time, the mainland has opened up a lot. And I believe that it will become more and more open, step by step. It is not the government of your eagle sauce. That kind of..." The implication is that they are already defending the motherland.

Steve smiled bitterly: "Well, I can't refute you! Are you here this time?"

"Cooperation!"

"Extremely welcome!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and first said: "The first cooperation project is about the 'Garden Road Land King' in Central. This is what I think. We will sell [-]% of your shares and invest in this project together."

Steve said in a daze, "We are a bank and rarely invest in real estate!"

Lin Zuhui analyzed the project with a smile: "I want to build this project into a core area of ​​the bank. One of the buildings can be named Wanguobaotong Building as your headquarters in Xiangjiang; the other building is called the Asia Pacific Financial Center..."

After hearing the analysis of this project, Steve immediately became excited. This is a great thing!

Currently, their headquarters building is leased, and the area is small enough.The headquarters building of a bank reflects the strength of the bank.Just like HSBC started to invest a huge sum of 70 billion in the late 55s to build the HSBC Tower, so is the Bank of China Tower.

After calming down, Steve asked: "Is [-]% of the shares okay? I don't dislike our small shares, but we plan to win over some partnership companies. They can invest in this project and will also settle in these two buildings in the future. "

As a large consortium in the United States, there is no need to question its relationship network, and Lin Zuhui is interested in this.If he wants to build the core banking area in the Central District, a large number of banks and financial companies must live here, otherwise it is not a core banking area.

It just so happens that the Citigroup consortium has this network, and Japanese financial companies are their little brothers, and their little brothers are everywhere in the world.

However, Lin Zuhui still said: "President Steve, you just said that you don't invest much in real estate. Besides, 60% is already a big investment. My budget for the whole project is [-] billion!"

Steve didn't force it. What Citibank cares about is the naming rights of the building and the influence of the entire project. It's okay to have [-]% of it, and half of it to those partnership companies.

"Okay, I will apply to the headquarters as soon as possible! Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I believe there is no problem with this project, and I can give you an answer soon!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. In his previous life, the project had already started this year, and the New Times Group could also start this year.

Then, Lin Zuhui continued: "For the second project, I want to lend another 20 billion to New Era Group!"

Steve was taken aback and said, "Didn't you just reach a 30 billion loan with HSBC? Besides, you already have 50 billion cash flow in your account!"

Lin Zuhui said confidently: "The 80 billion funds are used to develop real estate. And the 20 billion funds are used to develop container terminals. Moreover, President Steve, you should understand how rich our net assets are. Bar!"

Steve hesitated for a moment, and said, "But Xiangjiang's real estate is sluggish, and the value of your assets has also depreciated!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "How many people in Xiangjiang can immigrate conditionally? How many can they accept from the three overseas countries? In fact, immigration is only the choice of a very small number of people, and most citizens have settled down. Therefore, the slump in real estate is temporary. , we bought the cheapest, so why worry about the asset value not increasing again! Also, have you Wan Guo Bao Tong considered withdrawing from Xiangjiang?"

Steve was speechless for a moment. Regardless of the government's tone down, real large and medium-sized enterprises will not withdraw from Xiangjiang.How could it be possible to give up the market that was so hard to win back then because of a few words from the Yingjiang government.

"Okay, the 20 billion loan is no problem! After all, you also have a lot of assets!" Steve said with a smile.

Then, Steve asked curiously: "You invest in the container terminal. Could it be that the Hong Kong government intends to invite bids for No. [-] Kwai Chung Terminal?"

Lin Zuhui suddenly had an idea, and immediately said: "I plan to acquire the main equity of Hailu Containers. I wonder if you Wanguobaotong can provide some help?"

Steve thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to offer some help and convince them!"

Lin Zuhui became happy, and with Wanguobaotong's help, he would be more confident.

He immediately added: "Actually, we only need to acquire a major stake and cooperate with the US Sea-Land Containers. They have the technology and we have connections. Let us work together to compete for the next tender in Kwai Chung."

Steve nodded. What Lin Zuhui said was correct. After all, he is a local, and he has a lot of influence in Xiangjiang. It is indeed a win-win situation.

"Okay, I'll persuade them!"

Lin Zuhui didn't expect to have three gains today, and he left Wanguobaotong in a good mood.

In fact, he has another idea of ​​cooperating with Citicorp, that is, it will be better to have Citi, a consortium leading the way, when investing in the United States in the future.

Of course, securities investment does not need to be public, keep a low profile.

However, some industrial investments inevitably require the guidance and cooperation of US-funded consortiums.

But after his capital reaches a certain level, some investments with an annual return rate of 10% will also be considered, so at that time, the whole world will really have to spread money.It is necessary to establish a good relationship with foreign consortiums and banks, which is more conducive to local business activities.

……

Harcourt Building, Hengjin Investment Headquarters.

Lin Zuhui looked at the stocks on the computer and seemed to be in a good mood. Since July, the Hang Seng Index has started to rebound and has risen to around 2500 points.And his own 30 billion funds have already bought all the blue chip stocks and December futures, waiting to collect money.

Because there is no leverage, naturally there is no need to consider any risks. I believe that earning one billion by the end of the year will not be a problem.

After a while, two people walked in, one was Li Hao, the general manager of Hengjin Investment, and the other was Zhao Weijian, the head of the real estate investment department under Hengjin Investment.

The so-called "Real Estate Investment Department" is the property management department of Lin Zuhui's family. After all, this time he personally has to buy a large number of high-quality properties such as shops, office buildings (units of floors), luxury houses, etc., plus the original investment in Furama Hotel, Central Plaza, Wanguobaotong Plaza, Diligende Pavilion, etc.

With so many real estate assets, it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to wear slippers and carry keys to collect rent!

So is it good or bad?

Therefore, Lin Zuhui recruited a senior employee from Huaren Real Estate to be a "retainer" and set up a real estate company for himself-Hengjin Real Estate, which is a subsidiary of Hengjin Investment.

Zhao Weijian handed over a document and said, "Boss, all the procedures and documents have been sorted out, and Hengjin Real Estate is on the right track."

Lin Zuhui planned to wait and see, and said, "Have you coordinated with the New Times Group?"

New Times Group has strong channel capabilities, whether it is buying or selling, it is top-notch in Xiangjiang; there are many intermediaries it cooperates with, and the people in its own marketing department are also very capable. Once there is any high-quality property on the market, it can quickly Find.

Zhao Weijian nodded and said, "Well, everything is coordinated!"

Relying on the channel of New Era Group, Hengjin Real Estate only needs to directly participate in the purchase, and then manage it later.

"Okay, there are a lot of trading projects recently, you should work harder and communicate with me anytime!"

"No problem, boss!"

After Zhao Weijian left, Lin Zuhui said to Li Hao: "Once the Nikkei index reaches 35000 points, we will start preparing for a cash position. But you must pay attention to an issue of influence, and don't cause the market to be too vigilant. I can give you A reminder, the Nikkei index will rise to 39500 points by the end of the year or early next year, no problem. We have a lot of time, come to Ants to move.”

Li Hao nodded seriously. The boss has made tens of billions of profits in the Japanese securities industry (excluding paying a lot of interest).Now if you want to move back to Xiangjiang, you have to do your best from Hengjin Investment.Fortunately, in recent years, foreign capital has entered Japanese securities and real estate one after another, with funds reaching hundreds of billions of dollars, and Hengjin's investment is not very eye-catching.

Hengjin Investment's Japanese securities investment used dozens of offshore companies and hundreds of accounts. It can be said that the boss had already expected to make so much profit back then.

"Okay, I will organize elite troops to complete this mission! It touched 35000 points this month, but it has pulled back a bit!"

Lin Zuhui said directly and firmly: "If it is lower than 35000 points, it will not be cashed out. If it is higher than [-] points, it will be cashed out slowly. I think it will start at the end of August. We have about four or five months. Take it slowly!"

Of course he remembered that the plunge started in February next year, so he could arrange the evacuation time reasonably, which was simply the trump card strength of the traverser.

Li Hao said seriously: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Lin Zuhui still said worriedly: "I will go to Japan to supervise the battle at that time, so don't put too much pressure on everyone."

"Um"

This time, a full 130 billion funds can be withdrawn, which is equivalent to Lin Zuhui's 210 billion disposable funds (65 billion loans) in the next half year.At present, it has spent more than 40 billion yuan, mainly 30 billion Hong Kong Securities Investment, Central Garden Road Land King (only the land fee is paid, and the rest is loaned), and a large number of high-quality properties.

Horror!

Chapter 3 [Golden Hero Retires]

In Wanhui Media's office, Lin Zuhui was holding an invitation letter in his hand, but his mind was not on it.This is an invitation letter from Ming Pao Group, inviting Lin Zuhui to participate in the tea party for the 30th anniversary of Ming Pao.

It seems that Jin Daxia is about to resign as the president, which means that he intends to fade out of the rivers and lakes.According to history, there will be more than a dozen consortiums interested in Ming Pao, including Japan's Tokuma Bookstore, Australia's Murdoch (Murdoch), Li Ka-shing, etc.

Ming Pao's annual profit is only about 9000 million, and it will break through 90 million in the 1s, but its influence is undoubtedly huge; because of this, even Li Cucumber is eager to get it.

It's a pity that Jin Daxia doesn't care about the price of Ming Pao Group, but cares about whether the future successor can carry forward the spirit of "Ming Pao".Jin Daxia's children have no intention of managing the newspaper industry. He has always wanted to find a leader in the group, but has been hesitant.

Lin Zuhui knew that Ming Pao Group belonged to him, and he was sure of it.Over the years, he has invested a lot of emotion, Jin Daxia will not turn a blind eye.Of course, Jin Daxia already has a high status in the world, so Lin Zuhui has also received a lot of rewards over the years.

However, he still had to prepare in case Jin Daxia asked how to develop Ming Pao Group.

Today’s Ming Pao Group is not listed, Jin Daxia holds 80% of the shares, and Shen Baoxin holds 20% of the shares; in his previous life, Yu Pinhai only traded for the first time at the end of 1991, when Ming Pao Group was listed in March.At that time, the market value was less than 50 million, so Yu Pinhai spent 4.5 million to buy [-]% of the shares.

Lin Zuhui thought to himself, waiting for two years is still too long, and there is no need to wait for Ming Pao Group to go public to buy.

However, if Lin Zuhui shows that Ming Pao Group will be included in the management system of Wanhui Media, I am afraid that Daxia Jin may not be willing; in his heart, he is looking for a successor who will carry forward Ming Pao, rather than completely annexing Ming Pao Group.Therefore, he had to say that Ming Pao Group wanted to operate independently, so Wanhui Media would lead the listing of Ming Pao Group and then act as the holding company.

In this way, Ming Pao Group will be controlled by Wanhui Media, and Ming Pao will also be able to guarantee a certain degree of independence.As for the promotion of "Ming Pao", Lin Zuhui has been running the newspaper for so many years, it is not a problem to fool Jin Daxia.

After a while, the general manager and president of Wanhui Media came to Lin Zuhui's office. Unlike other companies, Lin Zuhui never concurrently served as the general manager. From the beginning, he only served as the chairman of the board of directors.Because he is not a company, it is impossible to do everything by himself.

The general manager is actually the actual executor of a company, and Lin Zuhui only needs to be able to command with ease.He will direct major matters, and the general manager will decide on minor matters.

"How are the sales of Next Magazine?"

"It's not bad, the sales volume for four weeks is more than 6, the potential is very good!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Wanhui Media holds 34.8% of the Baile Group, which is equivalent to controlling the company in a disguised form, but it will not be directly related to others; after all, Zheng Jinghan is also a publishing genius of Xiangjiang. Who would have thought that he Now a 'puppet' too!

"The annual profit of the comic business department should skyrocket this year, right?"

"Not bad! The "Slam Dunk" we invested in Japan is very successful, and it is expected to make a profit of 5000 million this year. In addition, the local comics are going overseas. This year, the comics alone, our group will have a net profit of more than 1.8 million. According to the current If the situation is calculated."

Fengyun Publishing House and Yulang Group, these two comic departments can generate 1.3 million profits this year, which is quite unexpected for Lin Zuhui.But when you think about it carefully, it is only natural that the net profit of more than 1.3 million is 8% of the net profit of Xiangjiang comics industry.

Wanhui Media has highly monopolized Xiangjiang's comics industry.

Today's Huang Yulang is still the defendant, and his case is still under trial; of course, prison is inevitable.

For Wanhui Media, the later Huang Yulang enters, the better, since he will come out later anyway; when he comes out, Xiangjiang's comic industry structure will no longer be something he can shake.

Lin Zuhui picked up the invitation letter from "Ming Pao" and said, "Jin Daxia will probably announce his resignation as president at this tea party!"

Long Jingchang was taken aback, and said hastily, "Is this a signal to release the order?"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said, "Well, his children have no intention of inheriting the father's business, and he wants to retire, so naturally he wants to sell the stock!"

Long Jingchang knew that the boss had a close relationship with Jin Daxia, which meant that Wanhui Media was the biggest competitor; it might even be a sure thing.

No wonder, there is still 4.5 million cash lying in the account!

Wanhui Media once had 7.5 million yuan in cash on its account this year (annual profit of more than 3 million yuan). Since July, it has spent 3 million yuan to buy office buildings, shops, high-end residences and other properties, and plans to continue to speculate on houses.

[-] million is just a down payment, and the total value of the property is one billion, because it is paid in installments.

Under Lin Zuhui's arrangement, LEIT Group and Wanhui Media have started to purchase properties one after another; not only that, these companies will invest in some properties every year in the future to increase the company's foundation.

For example, the LEIT Group is now starting to buy shops. In July alone, it bought five good shops that can be used by itself.

Lin Zuhui's companies and individuals have purchased properties one after another, which will naturally lead to the recovery of real estate and rising waves.This is also the result he wants, it's like he bought a cheap property, and when the real estate developers who responded slowly in the follow-up entered the market, their price was much higher than in the previous life.

This is the reason to fatten yourself and hit your competitors.

……

End of July, weekend.

Lin Zuhui brought Long Jingchang to the hotel to attend the tea party for the 30th anniversary of "Ming Pao".Throughout the tea party, many guests were invited, including celebrities from various industries such as newspapers, magazines, and media.

The personable Lin Zuhui is the protagonist no matter where he goes, as he enters the stage, everyone will focus on him, which is called aura.

Jin Daxia greeted him with a smile, the two shook hands in a friendly way, and a reporter from Ming Pao immediately took pictures.

"Old Jin, we are not late!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

"No, it's still early!" Jin Daxia replied.

The two chatted leisurely, and this scene was taken for granted in everyone's eyes. As early as a few years ago, the news that Lin Zuhui accompanied Jin Daxia to eat hairy crabs often popped up, which shows that the two have a good relationship.

Jin Daxia said: "Recently, your overseas "Sin Chew Daily" has not only successfully resumed its publication, but also increased its sales. You have done a good deed for the Chinese in Malaysia!"

In the past few years, the Malaysian government was not very friendly to the Chinese, cracked down on the MCA, and suspended the publication of "Sin Chew Daily". The situation of the Chinese is worrying.Fortunately, Guo Henian, who is friendly with the Malaysian government, stepped forward and took over the flagship trading company of the MCA (an important source of funds), stabilizing the situation; and now the resumption of publication of the No. [-] Chinese newspaper in Malaysia eased the situation of the Chinese once again.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Wanhui Media, it is the president and editor-in-chief there who are fighting with the government; but Wanhui Media has always used financial support to recall the original reporters and editors, otherwise, after the resumption of publication, there will be Then turn around quickly.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "As a newspaperman, I probably want to have a Chinese newspaper where there are Chinese people. Chinese language is the most important way for Chinese people in the world to communicate. Naturally, I also hope that this will be done. So I took over The first thing Yulang Group does is to strongly support the resumption of publication of "Sin Chew Daily."

Putting gold on his face, Lin Zuhui's real thought is that after the resumption of publication in his previous life, "Sin Chew Daily" soon saw a huge increase in sales, and it became the largest Chinese-language newspaper in Malay.As a businessman, that is profitable.

Jin Daxia praised: "Your idea is very good!"

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Zuhui took the initiative to withdraw. Jin Daxia is the protagonist today and needs various entertainments.

Just after they left, Cen Caisheng from "Overseas Chinese Daily" walked up to Lin Zuhui and said, "I heard from Lao Zha that he intends to step down as president, do you know that?"
