Hong Kong's new giants

In the meeting room of Huazhi Center that day, Lin Zuhui, Lee Shau Kee, Zheng Jiachun, Kui An and others began to sign the agreement to form "Asia Container".

资产重组后的‘亚洲货柜’，新时代集团占股28％、新世界占股26％、海陆货柜联运占股22％（全美资）、恒基占股10％、其它财团占股14％。

Lin Zuhui is the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Container, the general manager is Kui An (sea-land container transport), and the rest are directors.

After reorganization, Asia Containers owns Kwai Chung No. 1 Container Terminal (a total of 2 berth), 4 berths of Kwai Chung No. [-] Container Terminal (a total of [-] berths), the Asian Container Processing Center Building (the world's largest vertical container processing center), Asian freight (inland, Hong Kong land transport network) and other assets.

After signing the contract, Lin Zuhui said happily: "This time we broke the high monopoly of international containers. It is very difficult, but everything is worth it! Long-term and stable income is the biggest advantage of this industry; and the container terminal business is increasing. Growth is the prospect of this industry!"

Everyone looked at the young Lin Zuhui and couldn't help admiring him!This time, the two berths of container No. [-] were secured, all thanks to Lin Zuhui's strategy.After all, when the international container and the modern container unite, everyone has completely given up the idea of ​​bidding.

As a result, Lin Zuhui directly and abruptly pulled Modern Containers to his side, forming a strong duel.

If it is said that Lin Zuhui paid a price of 25 billion, everyone thinks it is not at all. Wharf Group does not know how jealous Lin Zuhui is of the stock;

After all, at this time Lin Zuhui holds 25% of the shares of Modern Containers, and Wharf Holdings holds 25.8% of the shares of Modern Containers, which is only 0.8.The remaining shareholders are China Merchants 21%, Swire 18%, HSBC 6%, and Jetta Matheson 4.2%. As long as any of them defect, Wharf Group may lose its dominant position in Modern Containers.

Zheng Jiachun said: "The growth of Heung Kong's container terminal business is visible to the naked eye. Although it experienced last year's turmoil, the container terminal business has not been affected at all. This industry is indeed promising!"

At present, the berths of the container terminals in Xiangjiang are still insufficient, and many times they need to queue up to unload, and the gap is about 5% of the business.

Lee Shau-kee also expressed his opinion: "Following this trend, container terminal No. [-] may invite tenders in two years, so we have to hurry up and build two terminals of container No. [-] to learn rich development experience!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Don't worry everyone, we not only have the technical support of the US sea and land containers, but also hired expert consultants, and we will definitely be able to build a first-class berth terminal."

Everyone nodded. If the technical solution of the modern container was not satisfactory, the Hong Kong government would not approve it.

As soon as I thought about it, I also had my own container terminal business, and I still had a fleet (Heung Kong Shipping); before I knew it, Lin Zuhui had become a reserve 'Sea King'.

The future of shipping is still very good, especially going into the 90s.Moreover, Xiangjiang ranks fourth in the world in the number of ship registrations at the time of the 21st century.

This shows that Xiangjiang is still suitable for the development of the shipping industry.

In the next year, Lin Zuhui plans to develop Xiangjiang Shipping. Through profits and loans (loans are not included in the New Times Group), and then buy some container ships, he can still catch up with this wave of dividends.

After the meeting was over, Zheng Jiachun and Li Zhaoji came to Lin Zuhui's office to chat.

Lin Zuhui asked Zheng Jiachun: "Is the Liu Chongxing Building in Central settled?"

Once the Liao Chong Hing Building is settled, New World Development can merge the Wing On Building and Wing On Life Building in its hands with it; the rebuilt building will be a first-class building in Central with a full 56 square feet.

If it weren't for Lin Zuhui, New World Development would have had this luck.

Zheng Jiachun nodded, and said, "Well, I bought it at a price close to the price before the plunge! But the office market has not been good in the past two years, and I don't plan to rebuild it right away. I'll wait another year and see!"

Lin Zuhui was amused, New World Development had no money, and had debts of 90 billion; you must know that the net asset value of New World Development was probably only about [-]% of that of New Times Group.

Of course, their prediction of the situation was not as precise as Lin Zuhui's.Once the office buildings under Chinese Land are completed, they can basically catch up with the re-opening in the mainland, that is, the rent of office buildings in Xiangjiang has risen sharply.

Lee Shau Kee became concerned about Lin Zuhui's affairs in the mainland, and said, "I heard that you plan to donate to a middle school in Shunde?"

Although there are Lee Shau Kee Center and Zheng Yutong Secondary School in later generations, there is only Huaqiao High School in Shunde now, and this school has donations from Lee Shau Kee and Cheng Yutong.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I am very touched by this trip to Beijing! The status quo in the Mainland will not last long, and I believe it will be more open soon. For us doing business, the Mainland is a huge market. With a population of more than one billion, if each person earns 1 yuan, we can earn more than one billion!"

Both Zheng Jiachun and Lee Shau Kee were very excited. The two of them were also invited, but it should be after Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren went to the mainland on the [-]th of this month.

Lin Zuhui reassured the two companies that they were not worried about robbing him of the mainland market, because the market was too big.

……

The next day.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and Lin Zuhui has officially started to give himself a five-day holiday. Although he has few relatives in Xiangjiang, he can't hold back his father-in-law and mother-in-law.What's more, he has many friends and allies.

Therefore, the five days of the Spring Festival are not enough for entertainment, and a lot of entertainment can only be arranged after the five-day holiday of the Spring Festival.

This year's Spring Festival, Lunar New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year's Day, Lin Zuhui and his family spent time in villas on Nanwan Road; on the second day of Lunar New Year, everyone went to the villas they received last year, and it was these women who showed off in front of relatives and friends when.

Affording a mansion in the middle of the mountain seems to belong to the upper class in Xiangjiang; but it is a "great honor" to be able to live in a single-family villa, or even a villa on the top of the mountain, and it must be the upper class in society.

Even if it was a female artist from Xiangjiang in the previous life, none of them could live in a villa on their own!

Although Lin Zixia lived in Moth Mountain Villa, she did not rely on herself, and Feimo Mountain Villa was not as valuable as her current villa.The law and order on Moth Mountain is not very good. Not to mention the villa was patronized by thieves in the previous life, there was also the kidnapping of Luo Dingbang's granddaughter, so Moth Mountain and Shouson Mountain are not at the same level at all.

Lin Zuhui's generous spending is because the money is seen as a fortune by others, but in his view, it is just a sprinkle of water.And while he was giving gifts to these women, he could also reap a kind of psychological satisfaction, which is probably the realm of 'giving someone a rose, leaving a fragrance in your hand'.

Every Spring Festival couplet is written by Lin Zuhui himself. After mastering the real estate of the new era, he began to learn from the older generation of businessmen, practicing calligraphy, reading ancient books, and learning Confucianism.The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated, from which he learned a lot of ways of doing business, the way of imperial power, and the way of struggle.

Lin Zuhui wrote the couplet, and seven women watched from one side, except Li Jiaxin and Li Zi, who held a baby in their arms; the eldest Lin Wenyi, who was three years old (from Cai Ning), stood directly next to Lin Zuhui's thigh.

For a while, the whole air is full of femininity, milky smell, and ink smell.

"Hey, Ah Hui, your calligraphy is getting better and better!" Guan Jiahui praised.

Lin Zuhui was very useful, with a smug expression on his face.

In fact, he has 'lost himself', and the practice time in the past year is only a handful.

There is no way, the rest of the women are unwilling to lag behind!

"It's really improved a lot!"

"This calligraphy is almost ready to go to the exhibition!"

"Wenjie, you have to learn from your father in the future and learn more about traditional Chinese culture!"

"Wenhua, let your father teach you calligraphy in the future!"

Lin Zuhui was really lost at this moment!

After posting the couplets, Lin Zuhui finally calmed down, because after posting the couplets, he realized that 'calligraphy can only be considered average', similar to that of Ye Luzi (an elder who wrote couplets in rural areas) in his previous life.

Who cares, the words written by oneself are definitely worth thousands of gold!

……

In the evening, Lin Zuhui and the seven fairies and six children had a New Year's Eve dinner together.The New Year’s Eve dinner was cooked by the chef of the hotel in Villa B3, which was not inhabited; after the cooking was finished, the servants sent it to Villa A.

At the dinner table, Lin Zuhui sat at the head of the table, his family status was clear at a glance, and he also enjoyed this 'big patriarch' style, but in fact the Lin family did not have many rules.

"Have a meal!"

After Lin Zuhui spoke, the girls picked up their chopsticks. This rule was really not set by Lin Zuhui, and I don't know it was set by that sycophant.Of course, since they have been formulated, they must be followed. Maybe it is a good house rule.

During the period, Lin Zuhui said: "Tomorrow is the Lunar New Year. Starting next year, I will spend more time abroad, so you should complain less. I am not going abroad for fun, but to expand the family business overseas next year. This is related to you. and children, the amount of salary I will receive every month in the family office in the future!"

Although these women didn't know how much money Lin Zuhui had, including Wang Lingyin, they guessed that Lin Zuhui's personal net worth was tens of billions based on the information revealed by Lin Zuhui.

Everyone expressed that they would not hold back, making Lin Zuhui chuckle inwardly, maybe he can try foreign meat when he finds time!He only needs to formulate a big policy for overseas investment, and the big policy is already in his brain, so it doesn't take much time at all, and it is much simpler and rude than Li Chaoren.

Buffett also studies the financial statements of Coca-Cola and Pepsi every day to see who is more worthy of investment.And Lin Zuhui never looked at the financial statements, at most he pretended to ask his subordinates to get some information, and he could start investing after just a few glances.

Wang Lingyin said: "Don't worry! If you can't do this, how can you talk about fighting for tens of billions of property for your children!"

Although she is usually kind, but occasionally she will establish the majesty of the main room.

All the girls expressed their opinions again, and they have all spoken legally. It seems that there is still hope for a family property of tens of billions, and they must obey Wang Lingyin's management.

Lin Zuhui nodded, although he was a little 'tacky about talking about money', but without money, that woman was willing to suffer this 'wrongedness'!

3 Chapter Forty [Four Heavenly Kings]

Beginning of November.

New Era Group has started to prepare for the privatization of Cathay City Hotel Management. For a long time, the stock performance of Cathay City Hotel Management has not been good. The reason is very simple, because the annual financial loss is either a loss or a meager profit that does not match the asset value.

The assets of Cathay City Hotel include: 34.9% equity of Grand Hotel, 51% equity of Furama Hotel, Manila Hilton Hotel, 51% equity of Canadian Constellation Hotel Group, and 51% equity of American Aircoa Hotel Management Company.

In terms of asset value, the growth rate of Cathay City Hotel is impressive, and its current value is more than 70 billion; the debt is actually not high, only 10 billion.

You know, when Lin Zuhui took over Cathay Pacific, the net assets of Cathay City Hotel were less than [-] million.

However, due to the fact that the largest asset, the big hotel, has received little dividends in the past two years, the funds are mainly used to repay debts, and the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui has built two high-rise hotels behind, so the total dividends are about 1 million to 2 million per year. Cathay Pacific Tens of millions of dividends.In other respects, Manila Hilton Hotel needs to repay its own debts (transfer of acquired debts), Furama Hotel renovation (renovation funds are the previous profits), Canadian Constellation Hotel and American Aircoa Hotel Management Company's dividends are not high.

Taken together, Cathay City Hotel needs to repay 9000 million yuan in interest every year, and its annual net profit is probably a little more than that.

This will of course lead to investor dissatisfaction, so the current market value is only 18.5 billion!

Logically speaking, for a listed company with a net asset of more than 60 billion, its annual net profit should be at least 6 million; no matter how bad it is, based on the minimum standard of 6%, it should have 3.6 ​​million.

However, the share price of Cathay Pacific City Hotel Management has been slammed down, which is suitable for the privatization of New Era Group.

Liang Botao and Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office. The financial advisor for the privatization of Cathay City Hotel is still Peregrine.

It was already in preparation years ago, so Lin Zuhui asked: "What price is the privatization?"

With the increase of wealth, Lin Zuhui has become more and more "kind-hearted", so privatization must be privatization with good intentions.

On the contrary, Da Liu, a few years ago Da Liu engaged in stock market robbery and was called a "sniper"; When he thought he changed his sex, Da Liu acted as a demon in another place.Liu began to privatize Huamei Real Estate. His privatization was very artistic. He first offered a tentative price, then another price, and then another price, gradually defeating the psychological defenses of small shareholders.Moreover, Liu is trying to win over one faction and suppress another faction. No matter how the small shareholders make trouble, it is useless to petition the Hong Kong government. The Securities Regulatory Commission will condemn it at most.Liu usually does not attend the shareholders' meetings of his subsidiaries, because he is afraid of being scolded, so he always sends his wife Bao Yongqin there.

Liang Botao naturally knew what Lin Zuhui was thinking, so he said: "The premium is 27%. According to the current slump in the stock market, this price is very attractive. And the New Era Group only needs to pay 9.4 million yuan to get back 24 billion in assets."

What's more, what got back was not only 24 billion assets, but an asset that could generate a large amount of dividends immediately.Once in 1992, five assets could generate substantial dividends.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Okay, you can pay at this price! This time, the exchange of shares will not be passed, and the shares I hold can no longer be diluted!"

Of course Liang Botao knew that Lin Zuhui valued the shareholding ratio very much. For example, Li Chaoren only held 34.9% of Changshi shares, while Lin Zuhui kept 49% after he became rich.

Of course, if you want to maintain a 49% shareholding, you must know the time to increase your holdings.

After talking about the privatization of Cathay Pacific, Liang Botao asked Lin Zuhui: "What is the prospect of Xiangjiang's real estate?"

Lin Zuhui asked back: "Are you planning to acquire a listed real estate company?"

In November last year, Peregrine used 11 million capital leverage to acquire Kwong Sang Hong with a market value of 3 billion; therefore, Lin Zuhui guessed that Peregrine, which is good at the securities market, must be preparing for another acquisition.

Liang Botao nodded, and said, "I'm planning to acquire Taishun Group, and plan to use this company as investment in real estate and securities!"

This is a shareholder of Peregrine and his backer, Liang Botao felt that there was nothing to say.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "The prospect of real estate must be good, it is a stable investment, and we have the opportunity to work on projects together!"

For Lin Zuhui, Peregrine will go bankrupt sooner or later, even if he gains real estate, it will not be able to stand up to the ambitious ambitions of Liang Botao and Du Huilian.The biggest reason for Peregrine's bankruptcy in its previous life was that it did not have sufficient liquidity and invested a large amount of assets in Indonesian rupiah.

Liang Botao nodded, he also breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he was extraordinary, but he had to compare himself with others.

The two chatted for a while, Liang Botao got up and left.

Lin Zuhui couldn't help asking Liang Zhenxun: "Do you think I was the same as them back then?"

Liang Zhenxun was taken aback, thought for a while before saying: "It's different, they don't have any performance, they only know how to use financial leverage to buy out! The boss's method is different, while doing business, while supplementing the industry with finance."

Lin Zuhui nodded. At the beginning, he really didn't put all his eggs in one bet. The debt was as high as 30%, and even a [-]% plunge would not be fatal.

……

On Saturday morning, Li Jiaxin reluctantly asked Lin Zuhui to take her to ATV to play, and Lin Zuhui complied with her wish.Li Jiaxin is a beautiful woman, it is impossible to be willing to stay in the villa every day.

In fact, Lin Zuhui wanted to find a job for Li Jiaxin, but this woman seemed to be out of interest, so he didn't bother to care about it.Anyway, she might have already grown something in her stomach, Lin Zuhui didn't think she would have any ideas.

When the two came to the ATV building, Li Jiaxin quickly took Lin Zuhui's arm, for fear that others would not know that she was Lin Zuhui's girlfriend.

Lin Zuhui's status in ATV has reached the status of Shao Liushu in TVB!

Although he is not the founder of ATV, but ATV has been suppressed by TVB for so many years, it is Lin Zuhui who turned his hands into clouds and rain, and brought ATV to its current position.Therefore, his influence in ATV is far greater than that of his predecessor Li's company, Qiu Degen.

After coming to ATV, Lin Zuhui happened to remember something, so he asked his assistant to invite several managements to a meeting.

After a while, everyone came to the meeting room, Li Jiaxin sat beside Lin Zuhui excitedly, she never thought that she could still participate!

The senior executives who came in looked at Li Jiaxin and didn't ask any more questions!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's not a formal meeting, just to communicate my idea with everyone!" The implication is that it doesn't hurt for Li Jiaxin to listen.

Everyone nodded, because they also found that many high-level executives did not come, but the chief executive, Zhou Liang Shuyi, did come.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "Who can tell me about Li Ming and Guo Fucheng, the situation of the two of them? For example, what achievements have been made, and what is the prospect of training?"

Soon, someone reported to Lin Zuhui.

"Li Ming's current performance is very good. Last year, he released four albums, all of which achieved platinum sales. He suppressed the momentum of Hacken Lee, who also belongs to Polygram Records, and replaced him..."

Although Liming has signed a contract with ATV, ATV can cooperate with Polygram and other world record companies to jointly promote popular artists; Get record income, concert share, etc.

"Guo Fucheng released two albums in Taiwan last year, and achieved a total of 150 million records... This year, he has returned to Xiangjiang to develop, and has become a new star in our AVISION..."

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "I called you this time because I suddenly had a very good idea! Our Hong Kong entertainment circle has a mature packaging mechanism and a unique way of making stars, which can completely spread the 'Hong Kong entertainment culture' to the world." Overseas. So, I think we should make a gimmick, with ATV taking the lead, making ATV's Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok, TVB's Andy Lau and Zhang Xueyou into the 'Four Heavenly Kings', let them become popular all over Asia!"

ATV has a mature packaging mechanism, and Lin Zuhui has a lot of resources in his hands. He can only say who he wants to be popular.

Zhou Liang Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly said: "The boss's plan is very good! Back then, Zhou Runhua became popular in Asia with DreamWorks movies, especially in Japan and Korea, and gained many fans... If we propose the 'Four Heavenly Kings', we ATV not only won the two kings, but also drove the progress of the entire entertainment industry in Hong Kong."

Everyone praised Lin Zuhui's good suggestion one after another, flattering like a wave!

Li Jiaxin looked at Lin Zuhui with admiration, she was thinking in her heart, is there anything in this world that her man doesn't understand?Real estate, finance, media, and clothing can all be played well. Xiangjiang has not yet had such a capable tycoon!
