Hong Kong's new giants

Between meals, Li Jiaxin would always please Lin Zuhui, and seemed to cherish this kind of private meal, after all, it might only happen once a month.

After eating, the two got up satisfied and prepared to leave, and then went to Harbor City for a walk, that is, to go shopping with the woman.

When he walked to the aisle, he unexpectedly met Miss He and Xu Jinheng, and Lin Zuhui felt a little funny.

"Lin Sheng," Xu Jinheng greeted politely.

Leaving aside Xu Jinheng's ability, he is actually a good-looking talent, although he is a bit silly, and he is actually very polite.At any rate, it's four generations rich, a real century-old family, and there are still some accomplishments.

Ms. He and Lin Zuhui were once matched by He Sheng. Lin Zuhui knew his own problems, so he didn't have any ideas at the beginning.Later, he became friends with He Sheng, and Lin Zuhui and Ms. He also became friends, after all, they were in the same circle.

"Lin Daheng, brought Jiaxin to dinner again today, the backyard won't be on fire!" Ms. He joked.

But saying this, there is more or less resentment, Lin Zuhui can feel it.

Li Jiaxin seemed dissatisfied with Ms. He's ridicule and was ready to fight back.

She has her own man backing her, so naturally she won't make Miss He wrong, besides, the two of them have also played together.

Lin Zuhui took the lead and said, "Xu Sheng, don't imitate me! Ms. He is not easy to mess with, she is very hot!"

From what Ms. He heard, she knew that Lin Zuhui was suspected of bringing up the past.

However, Xu Jinheng didn't notice it when he was in love, and instead quickly assured him: "Lin Sheng was joking, I won't learn it!"

Li Jiaxin joined in and joked: "When a man starts a relationship, he always makes such a promise. Ms. He has to be more careful."

This... Hearing Li Jiaxin teasing Xu Jinheng, Lin Zuhui felt a little weird, even a little uncomfortable.

Ms. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Jiaxin, for reminding me, but I think that among the men in Hong Kong, the one next to you is the most courageous and charming, and of course there are a lot of news!"

Among the four people in love, Xu Jinheng is the most innocent, and Lin Zuhui is immediately embarrassed to tease others, so he pulls Li Jiaxin and plans to leave.

"Let's play together some other day!"

Li Jiaxin said on the way: "Brother Hui, I'm not afraid of her whatever you are afraid of her!"

Of course she doesn't have to be afraid of Ms. He, after all, with Lin Zuhui's backing, no one dares to bully even if it's just a girlfriend in Hong Kong's three-acre land.

But Lin Zuhui is afraid, he has a good relationship with He Sheng, and occasionally plays with Miss He, he doesn't want Li Jiaxin to compete with others, of course it is Lin Zuhui's!

Although Ms. He can't understand Lin Zuhui's romance, she still has some affection for Lin Zuhui. Lin Zuhui can feel it. Who calls him a genius and king of shopping malls? Ms. He likes this kind of charm!

You know, Liu and Miss He were still close friends in his previous life, let alone the handsome Lin Zuhui.

So, he didn't want to lose a friend.

"What's the point of competing with that young lady? I've been spoiled since I was a child! Besides, I have a good relationship with He Sheng, so don't make matters worse!"

Li Jiaxin said unconvinced: "Then you just watch me being bullied, you are Lin Chaoren from Xiangjiang!"

Lin Zuhui quickly comforted him: "Obviously we won, how can we be bullied! Besides, I don't bully women, if that man taunts you, I will call him bad luck immediately!"

Li Jiaxin immediately got excited, and immediately said: "What's more, you suppressed the old wealthy Ma family for Sister Guan back then! I would be envious, if only one day you would do this for me!"

Lin Zuhui suddenly said angrily: "Little girl, your man is Lin Chaoren in Xiangjiang, the most powerful ones! Now you let me bully those children, and you are not afraid of others laughing at us."

Li Jiaxin immediately burst into a 'grin' smile, and clung to Lin Zuhui tightly, feeling a sense of pride.

Lin Zuhui then coaxed: "Don't panic if you encounter anything, just report 'my boyfriend is Lin Zuhui', and I guarantee that no one will bully you!"

This sentence may be more deterrent than 'my dad is Li Gang'!

In fact, it was just a joke. Li Jiaxin is actually very educated. It was not her fault that she cursed people in her previous life, she was also a victim.As for the incident just now, Ms. He was the first to tease her.

The mood of the two was not affected, and they happily headed to Harbor City, presumably for another purchase.

……

The time has entered the 90s.

Monday, January 1990, 1.

Lin Zuhui's whole family came to No. 1 Barker Road. After buying this villa, there was no large-scale decoration, but some small-scale renovation and decoration, and then the furniture and appliances were replaced with new ones.

This time, all the daughters were given a villa in Xiangjiang, and Cai Ning was given No. 4 Repulse Bay, which was the most expensive because she had a son and a daughter.Lin Zuhui bought it for 4100 million Hong Kong dollars. It was originally the residence of the last emperor of Vietnam, but it has been rebuilt.In the previous life, it was He Sitai's residence, and this life is Lin Sitai's residence.

Wang, Qiu, Li, and Lai all received single-family villas, among which Qiu, Li, and Lai were in the three villas on Repulse Bay Road. Wang Zuxian was also a single-family villa in Repulse Bay. Already bought it.

In fact, I don’t know how to live in it very much. I may live here occasionally to receive family members or something.

In the living room, a host, seven fairies, and six children gathered together, and it was very lively.

Lin Zuhui holds the eldest Lin Wenyi in his left hand, and the second child Lin Wenhua in his right hand. The children are older, so they need to interact more.

All the girls congratulated Guan Jiahui, with envy in their words.

Guan Jiahui said modestly: "Sister Ning's No. 4 Repulse Bay is not bad, it's over 1 square feet!"

Cai Ning said with a smile: "Just change it!" But he was joking.

Guan Jiahui naturally refused to change, pretending not to hear, she likes the mansion on the top of the mountain.

Lin Zuhui interrupted everyone's discussion, and said: "I still have garden-style villas, and I will buy them again when I have a chance, and you will each have one set."

In his previous life, there were more than 200 garden-style villas in Hong Kong (some single-family villas are not counted, they need to be not adjacent to each other, and cover an area of ​​more than 8000 square feet); It's just a set.Naturally, it is not enough, no matter what you have to get more than 2 sets.

Sitting next to Lin Zuhui, Wang Lingyin didn't care about it.This man is making too much money, she is fighting if she doesn't fight.And in her opinion, this man did not give away a set of high-quality villas such as No. 75 Deep Water Bay, Shek O, Yunfeng Residence, and No. 36 Shixun Road.Obviously, this man still valued his wife's lineage the most.

And these women are fighting back and forth, but this man rewards and bestows on them!

Even, in the eyes of these women, it is precisely because of their generosity that they can obtain wealth;

Therefore, she respects herself very much and has not overstepped, so she will not be unhappy.

The family is still very happy in the villa, it is simply the 'utopia' of the big family.There is a little conflict, but Lin Zuhui is stronger, so he can hold everyone down.

……

……

January 1, the first day of work in the new year.

At 3:[-] p.m., the Hong Kong government announced a major news: the winning bid for the development rights of Kwai Chung No. [-] Container Terminal is a new consortium composed of Modern Containers, Sea-Land Containers and others.

For a time, the evening papers of the day published the news one after another.

For the first time in history, the Hong Kong government announced the tender documents of both parties to show that it did not favor any party.

In terms of price, the new consortium won with a price higher than 5 million;

In terms of technology, the two companies are evenly matched. Whether it is equipment, fees, etc., there is no obvious advantage or disadvantage.

Therefore, the media couldn't find any thorns in this result!

However, there were no thorns in the bidding documents, and the media began to make a fuss about Li Chaoren VS Lin Chaoren again;

In the news in the evening paper, it seemed that Lin Zuhui and Li Chaoren had already fought.

In fact, the two parties can still sit at the same table for dinner, greet each other when they meet, and may even cooperate in the future.

That night, the masterminds of the new consortium came to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner.

Not only to celebrate winning the bid, but also to discuss the follow-up benefit distribution during the meeting.

The person in charge of Huayuan Ocean, He Jun, took Maotai to the banquet. This time, Huayuanyang chose to join the new consortium because it saw greater hope.

In fact, it was also under a lot of pressure, because once it failed, the mainland's layout on the Hong Kong pier would come to nothing.

So when International Containers and Modern Containers joined forces at the beginning, that was what Huayuan wanted to see.

As a result, Lin Zuhui intervened, causing Hua Yuanyang to fall into conflict.

However, it is impossible for the mainland to offend a tycoon like Lin Zuhui. He is not only a rich man, but also a media tycoon who controls the public opinion in Xiangjiang.You know, Xiangjiang’s newspapers and TV stations are very free, and anyone can criticize anyone. That’s called freedom of the press... Lin Zuhui’s status can be imagined. important.

And because Lin Zuhui is too young, his influence is even greater. At least at present, young people in Hong Kong still regard Lin Zuhui as an idol, so naturally his appeal is needless to say.

In the end, Huayuan made a decision to join the new consortium. After all, the charter king also became a lobbyist.

With this victory, the management of Huayuan Ocean finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step is the distribution of specific benefits.

Drinking Moutai, after drinking for three rounds, Lin Zuhui, as the leader, set the tone for this profit distribution.

"According to the distribution mentioned in advance, Modern Containers and Huayuan Ocean will develop two berths, and Hailu Containers, Henderson, and New World will develop one container. Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed again that the contract can be signed in a few days.

After eating, Lin Zuhui, Zheng Jiachun and Li Zhaoji found a place to continue drinking tea.

During the period, Lin Zuhui said: "Uncle Si, Brother Chun, I want to reorganize the assets of the two berths of Sea-Land Container, Modern Container, and No. 8 Kwai Chung Wharf. What do you think?"

The current modern container does not have a wharf, but the largest container processing center building in Asia, which is the property behind the No. [-] container.

If reorganization is carried out, the new company will have three berths and a large container processing center, and its strength can be said to have improved a lot.

Zheng Jiachun thought for a while and said: "This is a good thing, but you are an investment maniac, will you invest a lot in the container terminal in the future?" He was worried that Lin Zuhui's crazy investment would dilute everyone's shares.

Lin Zuhui said frankly: "Yes! If there is an opportunity in the future, I will invest in the global terminal business, such as the largest container terminal in the UK, such as the container terminal in the Mainland. The container terminal is an investment with stable income, the same as rent collection, so the prospect is very promising. Big. If you join in the investment, the return in the future will not be low. Taking a step back, this new company is a joint venture between several of us, and everything is discussed for investment. If you think a certain project is not worthwhile, I will not say anything , at most invest with the family's funds, and the new company can participate in the shares appropriately."

This plan is good, and the benefits are shared according to the investment ratio.

In the end, Zheng Jiachun agreed, and he didn't ask his father for instructions!

As for Lee Shau Kee, he naturally agreed. He originally only brought money into the team.

It's not like the new era and the new world, but it still joins with industries.New Times Group currently holds 50% of the equity of Hailu Containers, which is equivalent to controlling No. [-] Kwai Chung Terminal, that is, owning a berth; Modern Containers controls a large container processing center, which is also a very high-quality asset.

Of course, whether it is Sea-Land Containers or Modern Containers, there are other shareholders.

Therefore, this asset restructuring needs to invite everyone to believe in the discussion and distribution.

Once the reorganization is completed, Lin Zuhui is equivalent to the two major families that have bound the four major real estate families in Xiangjiang, which can be described as powerful.

He doesn't recognize that his family is a real estate family!

Chapter 334 【Go North】

Hutchison Whampoa.

Li Chaoren was in a meeting with a group of Hutchison executives, and his mood was obviously not very beautiful, even a little bad.This time at the No. [-] Kwai Chung Container Terminal, his initial hope was to win a berth right, that is, to distribute two to Modern Containers and one to Sino-Ocean.It's just that I don't know, the last berth is not available, it's a bit sad!

However, there are about half of the foreign executives in the conference room at this time, they are very happy in their hearts, and their faces are even relieved; it turns out that half of the capital of Hutchison Whampoa is British capital, and these foreign executives represent British interests.

In the hearts of these foreign executives, they hoped that Hutchison Whampoa would invest capital overseas or in the UK, and even once pressured Li Chaoren to relocate.If it wasn't for Li Chaoren's fear of too much influence, he is the leading businessman in Xiangjiang. If he takes the lead, he will offend the mainland officials to death, and it will be difficult to do business in the future.

However, this time Hua Yuanyang turned against him, and the mainland invited Lin Zuhui to visit first, and Li Chaoren was behind. Li Chaoren felt a little unbalanced for a while.Therefore, he decided to spread more of Hutchison Whampoa's capital overseas, reduce investment in the mainland, lose his temper, and show off his power.

Li Chaoren said: "Although we failed at Container Terminal No. 70 this time, we still account for [-]% of the business of Kwai Chung Terminal; moreover, the failure of this bidding may not be a good thing. If we really win the bid of nearly [-] billion, Hutchison Whampoa will be financially burdened."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Ma Shimin said seriously: "We have sufficient funds, and we should actively invest in Europe and the United States. The remaining 43% shares of Canadian Husky, another shareholder intends to sell, we should buy it! There is also the British telecommunications market, we also You can consider cooperating with the British Aeronautics and Astronautics Agency, where you can invest a lot; there are also Australia’s telecommunications industry, Watson’s expansion of overseas retail business, and Hutchison TV...”

Li Chaoren shook his heart and said, "Give me the plan, and I will consider it one by one!"

All the British managers finally cheered up, and even felt a little grateful to Lin Zuhui.For a long time, Li Chaoren has been swaying overseas and Hong Kong in the mainland, placing bets on both sides, and the mainland of Hong Kong is even more important; now, with these things happening, it will inevitably lead to a tilt in the proportion of his overseas investment, which is of great importance to the entire peace It is a good thing for Kee Whampoa, in the eyes of the British managers.

……

In early January, Lin Zuhui went to another city. The Hong Kong government announced that it would allocate 1 million square feet of industrial land in Siu Chi Sha, Tseung Kwan O to Asia Satellite Television for the construction of ATV's Asian Television Headquarters.

All of a sudden, Hong Kong's public opinion exploded, ATV is going to surpass TVB!

TVB's headquarters is currently leased Shaw Brothers Clearwater Bay Studios, with a total floor area of ​​only about 70 square feet; now ATV has raised its headquarters to 122 million square feet, which is simply a huge advantage over TVB.

This year, ATV released another good program - Music Bank, inviting all the singers who released new albums to play songs. Not only did they get support from the singers, but they also gained good ratings.

This music program is full of creativity, which has caused a great impact on the serious "Golden Songs" nowadays. "Music Bank" has added a transparent selection mechanism to score singers' new albums through record sales, audience selection, etc. and ranking.These elements have beaten the programs of this era, whether it is entertainment or professionalism, they all outperform "Golden Songs".

It can be said that the only shortcoming now is that "Golden Songs" has been established for so many years and has a certain authority; however, with the rise of "Music Bank", the authority of "Golden Songs" will gradually be challenged.

It's very simple. "Music Bank" is a program that includes singers from all over Hong Kong on the Internet, and also includes audience selection and record sales.

ATV's meeting room.

The "Preparatory Committee" of ATV headquarters was formally established, including the internal management/technical personnel of the TV station, real estate/construction companies, and design units. Lin Zuhui and Zheng Jiachun served as the chairman and vice chairman of the preparatory committee.

Lin Zuhui first said: "The ATV headquarters is not eager for success, but to cooperate with the Hong Kong government's new town industrial village to prepare for the construction! The Hong Kong government is already considering the introduction of this plan. By then, ferries, roads, and even subways will be connected to the city. Over there. Of course, our headquarters started to be completed gradually in 1994! Okay, let’s discuss, what advantages should the ATV headquarters have?”

An old producer in the drama department said: "Such a large area, you can consider the ancient costume street and the folk street!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "This can be done. Both the city wall and the palace can be built in miniature. The palace can copy the Huaqing palace style and build it in a reduced scale."

An equipment management office said: "The boss is preparing for Asia Satellite TV, so a satellite ground station is also needed!"

Lin Zuhui said: "Well, yes!"
