Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui said: "Of course, let's build a factory in Shenzhen, as big as possible! But don't worry about this, first help me set up the company, and Shenzhen also needs to set up a research and development department."

Zou Kaixuan nodded!

The mainland has already sent an invitation to Lin Zuhui to visit the capital early next year. Obviously, this is a very high honor.Moreover, Lin Zuhui doesn't know if Li Chaoren was invited, but judging from the time, Lin Zuhui will be the first person officially invited to Beijing in the 90s.

Its importance is self-evident!

The two chatted in the office for a long time. Lin Zuhui would not hide anything from Zou Kaixuan if he had any thoughts.

First of all: this industry belongs to the nature of his speculation. Whether it is successful or not, the Lin family will have an impact on people-it has also worked hard in the scientific and technological cause and made contributions to the scientific and technological cause.

Secondly: Zou Kaixuan is a woman who naturally worships the strong, which is a spiritual worship.

Chapter 315 [Reversal of the Situation]

A piece of news ignited public opinion in Hong Kong. Wanhui Media and Ming Pao Group reached a deal. Wanhui Media purchased 5% of its major shareholders Cha Liangyong and Shen Baoxin for HK$7 million.

For a time, people talked about it.

"Daily Daily is the newspaper with the highest sales volume in Hong Kong, FHM is the magazine with the highest sales volume in Hong Kong, Ming Pao is the most popular newspaper among intellectuals in Hong Kong, DreamWorks is the best film company in Hong Kong, and ATV has already cooperated with Wireless is showing a [-]-[-] trend...Mr. Lin Zuhui has become the Murdoch (Murdoch) of Hong Kong!"

"Even Li Chaoren came to the door to buy "Ming Pao", which shows that these wealthy people care about the influence of public opinion."

"Although Mr. Lin Zuhui has always emphasized that he has never interfered with the freedom of the press, this is somewhat monopolistic!"

"Monopoly is not counted. "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "South China Morning Post" and "Sing Pao" all have great influence, and there is a monopoly there. Besides, Rupert Murdoch is so powerful. That country said he was a monopoly and boycotted him."

While people were talking about it, Wanhui Media and Ming Pao Group jointly issued an announcement that Ming Pao Group would apply for listing as a public company.

For a while, almost all the voices unfavorable to Lin Zuhui disappeared, and listing means that it is a public company.

……

In the office of Huazhi Center, Lin Zuhui received the visiting Wu Guangzhen with a smile.

"Lin Sheng, you are so courageous that you bought 25% of the shares of Modern Containers silently. You should inform our partners anyway!" Wu Guangzhen said with a half-smile.

Lin Zuhui said in surprise: "Wu Sheng, you found out so soon? I haven't secured my shares yet, so you came to my door. How could I tell my partner in time?"

Wu Guangzhen was immediately embarrassed, and it was really fast enough to come to the door by himself!

After stabilizing his mind, Wu Guangzhen asked: "Lin Sheng, you have invested in Sea-Land Containers and Modern Containers. Could it be that you intend to bring together the two companies to bid together?"

This was analyzed by his father-in-law, and Wu Guangzhen also deeply believed it.

Lin Zuhui said frankly: "That's right! International Containers is the dominant player, which has led to criticism from market participants. Monopoly is not a healthy economic model. Therefore, I think that Modern Containers and Sea-Land Containers should participate in the bidding together."

At this time, Lin Zuhui had already shaken one idea, that is to grab the modern container.

Because, he is too rich!

The investment in Japan is much more than he expected to return, because he calculated the market value at the end of August, but in fact, even if he sells from the end of August, the average Nikkei level of selling may be as high as 38000 points.

Not only that, he can also let Hengjin invest and backhand short the Nikkei.Of course, it must not be too much, so as not to attract attention, and it is not in line with the principle of businessmen to be listed as unwelcome people in Japan in the future.After all, Lin Zuhui still has a lot to do with Japan in developing the electronics industry.

Wu Guangzhen quickly said: "This is a good thing. We, Wharf, are willing to promote this cooperation! But, Mr. Lin, what are your shares?"

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Don't worry, this is one of my family's long-term investment projects!"

Wu Guangzhen choked, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Welcome Lin Sheng to join us!"

Of course, he couldn't directly say that it was transferred to Wharf, not to mention the issue of Wharf raising billions of dollars at a time, even Lin Zuhui couldn't agree now.

Lin Zuhui finally said: "Now that we have negotiated the matter, I have another unfeeling request, that is, I hope that the charter king can persuade COSCO Shipping to join us. After all, now we have a greater chance of winning."

Wu Guangzhen muttered something in his heart, after he finished his unfeeling request, he immediately expressed his request.Of course, since Modern Containers has chosen to cooperate with Hailu Containers, it naturally hopes to win.

"Father-in-law has retired, but I'm willing to take a trip on this matter!"

Lin Zuhui nodded!

In fact, he can also invite, but he likes to command people, not to mention that he can command the son-in-law of the Bao family now, why not do it!

……

Cheung Kong Group.

When Li Chaoren heard that the company that purchased the shares of Modern Containers was Lin Zuhui's private investment company, he immediately felt bad.Sure enough, Modern Containers soon gave up its cooperation with International Containers, and instead cooperated with Sea and Land Containers.

At the same time, COSCO also chose to join the major leagues and jointly bid.

"This Lin Zuhui is simply a villain. To achieve his goal, he is constantly using tricks!" Li Chao was so angry that he slammed the table, which was an anger he hadn't felt in a long time.

Recently, Xiangjiang media criticized him for engaging in monopoly operations. Li Chaoren believes that the media will not mention these negative news against him at this time for no reason. .

Therefore, Li Chaoren thought that this was done by Lin Zuhui's instigation.Of course, he can also choose to fight back, but he is the leader of Xiangjiang Commercial after all, so if there is any criticism, it will be directed at him, and Lin Zuhui, a rising star, will never be able to turn.

Therefore, if the media counterattacks immediately, the blind man will know that he did it, and it will really bring great adverse effects to the family.

In fact, the media has always had a bad impression of these tycoons, and Li Chaoren was the first to be criticized.

Regarding this point, everyone can only turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

The military adviser Ma Shimin was recruited, and Li Chaoren asked about countermeasures.

Naturally, Ma Shimin has no choice. Now only one international container company can participate in the bidding. If they succeed, the four berths at No. [-] Kwai Chung Wharf will belong to them; if they fail, naturally they will not get any of them.

"In that case, let's do a good job with the bidding documents and have a head-on competition!" Li Ka-shing finally said helplessly.

The reason for his helplessness is simple. Hutchison Whampoa is 40% British-owned, and foreign investors are calling for withdrawal. If a large amount of money is invested in Container Terminal [-], the group may have different voices.

At this time, Ma Shimin asked a question: "Boss, since this is the case, why don't we give up this project and invest overseas? Not only that, we can also move Hutchison Whampoa to Bermuda, after all, 97 is approaching."

Although Ma Shimin is a good helper of Li Ka-shing, he also firmly supports Hutchison Whampoa's relocation.It is precisely because of this reason that Ma Shimin and Li Chaoren finally separated.

Li Chaoren immediately refused: "No, Hutchison Whampoa can only truly develop into a world-class company in Xiangjiang. Moreover, I am now a business leader in Xiangjiang, how can I offend the mainland...Of course, Hutchison Whampoa will still be the main Invest overseas."

Because Hutchison Whampoa has many British managers, and 40% of the shares are British-funded, he must consider them.Of course, he meant it himself.

……

At the same time, the container alliance led by Lin Zuhui competed with international containers, which caused a huge repercussions in Hong Kong for a while, and the media once again used "Lin Chaoren VS Li Chaoren" to describe this bidding.

Because International Containers couldn't wait to announce the formation of an alliance with Modern Containers, Li Chaoren was criticized by the media; your International Containers was originally a company with a very high monopoly, and now you are joining forces with Modern Containers, which ranks second, and there is no way for people to survive.

Now Modern Containers has turned against Sea-Land Containers, and united with Henderson and New World, which is simply the "Alliance of the Justice". For a while, International Containers has lost a bit in public opinion.

No. 12 Repulse Bay, Zheng's mansion.

This is the secret base of the Shunde Alliance. Everyone likes to come here to discuss anything.

This time everyone gathered together in secret again to discuss matters concerning Kwai Chung No. [-] Pier.

Before the meeting, several people praised Lin Zuhui admiringly. What was originally thought to be hopeless has now become favorable with the defection of Modern Containers.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Uncle Tong, you are good at dealing with the Hong Kong government, so you have to come out to help with this matter!"

In Hong Kong, there are two bigwigs who have a lot of relationship with the British Hong Kong government. The first belongs to Li Chaoren, and the second belongs to Zheng Yutong.

The Blue Chimney (now New World Center) back then had an area of ​​only about 20 square feet. As a result, Cheng Yu-tung said that he wanted to build a landmark building complex in Hong Kong. After negotiating with the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong government generously sold it to New World Development for 23 square feet. sq. ft. of land.

The same is true for the Convention and Exhibition Center. The Hong Kong government did not even engage in bidding, and directly handed it over to Zheng Yutong for development.

Not to mention, even the Queen was invited to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Convention and Exhibition Center, but now that the Convention and Exhibition Center has been completed, the opening ceremony has not been held for a long time; Lin Zuhui knew that it was the Prince and Princess Diana who were going to attend.

The relationship between Cheng's Hong Kong and British governments can be seen.

Although Lin Zuhui can also attract the attention of the Hong Kong government, it is only because of his influence in the media communication industry. In fact, he has never even stepped into Europe, let alone a relationship.

Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "I can do business, but you have to beat me. Who doesn't know that you are Lin Chaoren from Xiangjiang, and the Hong Kong government doesn't care about your face. This time we jointly bid for Kwai Chung No. [-] Pier, In addition to being optimistic about the container terminal, it is also because the international container industry is too monopolized, which is not conducive to the development of Xiangjiang."

To be honest, even without Lin Zuhui, in the 90s, the competition among the major families was very fierce.Of course, everyone's competition is fierce, but if outsiders want to get a piece of the pie, even if the big American conglomerates come, they will have to return home.

If he hadn't held the sharp weapon of media communication, these people might not have united to bully him long ago.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "This is no problem!"

Several people chatted about this bidding, and Lin Zuhui proposed again: "If we win the bid this time, it won't work so loosely. I suggest that we reorganize the assets of the interests of Hailu, Asia, and major consortiums, and establish a new one. Asia Container Terminals. The advantage of this is that when the No. [-] Kwai Chung Terminal is tendered, we are no longer so loose."

Lee Shau Kee was the first to respond. He started from scratch and has just entered the container terminal industry.

"This proposal is good! If you have money, everyone can earn it together. The prospect of the container terminal is very good. Together, we can get a share of the profits."

Zheng Yutong thought for a while. The Asian containers in their hands did not have berths, but there was a huge container processing center.

"Okay! Only when assets are reorganized, can there be hope for a consortium." What Zheng Yutong likes is that Lin Zuhui's influence is getting bigger and bigger, and he will not be weaker than Li Chaoren's existence in the future.

In this way, the container alliance reached an agreement again!

As for Modern Containers, it is only for this cooperation.Moreover, this time they had a full meal, and with COSCO, they could share two berths.

As for the shares in Lin Zuhui's hands, he will sell them at a high price in the future and concentrate on developing Asian containers.

……

In early September, the annual ATV finals kicked off.

Although "Sister Asia" has never been as famous as "Miss Hong Kong", it is impossible for ATV to cancel it. After all, the program not only has good ratings, but also can pick out future actresses of ATV.

This year ATV is in the budget of the beauty pageant, and it is still more than TVB.Because Lin Zuhui knows that this year, the Asian sister will be better than the Hong Kong sister (the Hong Kong media said in the previous life).And the ones he knows are Weng Hong, Wan Qiwen, and Wu Yongwei, who are more famous, and this year, TVB only has Chen Farong.

On the day of the finals, Lin Zuhui took Li Jiaxin to attend the tour. The two sat in the middle of the auditorium, with flowers symbolizing VIPs pinned to their chests, surrounded by celebrities from Xiangjiang.

The hosts that night were Huang Zhan, Mo Shaocong, Cai Lan, Ni Kuang, etc., and the guests included Leslie Cheung, Luo Wen, etc.; ATV wanted to invite Li Zhi to be a guest, but was rejected. Now she doesn't miss the entertainment industry at all. It is her life.

Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin were sitting in the auditorium. The director of ATV showed the two of them several times. It seems that tomorrow will inevitably be discussed.

The whole program was very smooth and exciting, especially when interviewing Weng Hong's parents, Lin Zuhui was a little surprised that they both worked in Huaqing University and came from a family of senior intellectuals.However, then how did it go astray!No, Lin Zuhui plans to cultivate it later!

After the show ended, Lin Zuhui brought Li Jiaxin to the backstage. The reason why he brought a woman was to avoid suspicion. After all, his reputation with women is hard to describe.

It can't be said that it's bad, after all, no woman has said bad things about him, and there are no problems in the family; but the reputation of a romantic tycoon is not in vain, it has always been talked about by the citizens.

When Lin Zuhui walked in, everyone immediately looked at him, after all, this is the real boss.As for the unattractive Zheng Jiachun, he was basically selectively ignored.

Of course, Li Jiaxin, who is too beautiful, is also very attractive.

At this time, the top Asian sisters were taking a photo with Zhang Guorong. Seeing Lin Zuhui walking in, they seemed to have the idea of ​​abandoning Zhang Guorong.

Sure enough, Lin Zuhui was asked to take a group photo soon!

But Lin Zuhui laughed and joked with Zhang Guorong: "Leslie, it seems that I am more popular with girls than you!"

Zhang Guorong and Lin Zuhui are acquaintances, but they let it go, and said with a smile: "Lin Sheng, of course you are popular with girls, it goes without saying! Look at the person next to you, you are probably the most popular girl in Xiangjiang!" Welcome man!"

As expected of an entertainer with solid hosting skills, this sentence praised Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin in succession.

After a brief chat, it was time for Lin Zuhui to take a group photo with the Asian sisters. In the past, I always saw Shao Liushu and Hong Kong sisters taking photos together. The media couldn’t help but tease him as an old man among Yingying and Yanyan.

Now it was Lin Zuhui's turn. Unfortunately, Li Jiaxin was staring at him. Coupled with the crowds, Lin Zuhui's unconventional group photo ended.

In fact, he has not opened the seal for a long time.

Chapter 316 [public]

Monday, May 9.

In the morning, Lin Zuhui and Liang Zhenxun discussed with the Hong Kong government officials about the land compensation fee for the land of Heyuan Power Plant at the Land Administration Department of the Hong Kong government.

Lin Zuhui started bargaining with the Hong Kong government on this issue in August, and today is the second time he has come to the Lands Department.

When it comes to the matter of 'land supplement fee', no one in Hong Kong can compare to Li Chaoren. The land supplement fee of Huangpu Dockyard was only 3.9 million yuan; calculated by the total floor area of ​​residential and commercial buildings, the floor supplement fee per square foot Less than 100 yuan.

Some people say that Li Chaoren likes to come to negotiate with the Hong Kong government when land prices fall, so he got a very low land subsidy fee.

Now, Lin Zuhui is copying and copying, and taking advantage of the drop in land prices, he came to the Hong Kong Government Lands Department to discuss.

However, it seems that the Hong Kong government is no longer being fooled, asking for 30 billion yuan for the land supplement fee of the Heyuan Power Plant.

In fact, this price is much cheaper than what Li Chaoren negotiated in his previous life (the time is different), but Lin Zuhui is still not satisfied.

It turns out that Li Chaoren also came to talk about it at about this time in his previous life. However, the Hong Kong government has learned to be smart. If you lower the price, I will delay your time until 1992 when Xiangjiang real estate skyrocketed. Sign the land supplement fee, and the Hong Kong government will naturally give you the price according to the level at that time.

And Lin Zuhui's idea is that if he negotiates at this time, he won't need 30 billion land compensation fees!

In line with this principle, the two sides continued their discussions in the conference room.

Lin Zuhui said kindly to the officials of the Lands Department: "Everyone, the Heyuan Power Plant was built in the urban area of ​​Kowloon, which has seriously affected the lives of the surrounding residents and does not conform to the city's planning. Now the real estate is in a downturn and the market is unclear. If it is based on 30 billion Based on the calculation of the land subsidy fee, our average floor subsidy fee per square foot is as high as nearly 800 yuan... Before the sharp drop, the floor price per square foot in Kowloon was only 1700 yuan!"

The Director of Lands said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, our Hong Kong government has suffered a lot in terms of land compensation fees. Your shrewd real estate developers always negotiate when real estate prices fall, and then sell them when real estate prices skyrocket. I think everyone should be well aware...Secondly, this year's local large-scale investment projects in Xiangjiang are not inferior to previous years...This shows that the real estate recovery is very fast."

The Lands Department used a set of data to illustrate that Xiangjiang's economy has maintained a high growth rate this year, and large-scale investment is also increasing.

In fact, the price of 30 billion has already given Lin Zuhui a big advantage, but he is still a little dissatisfied, and the nature of a real estate developer can be seen at a glance.
