Hong Kong's new giants

On September 9, the Furama Hotel, which has been renovated for nearly 8 months, reopened with a grand opening ceremony. Celebrities from Xiangjiang came to congratulate.

In fact, even after the re-opening, the tourism industry in Xiangjiang will flourish, and the hotel industry in Xiangjiang may not soon reach the peak period in 1988; the reason is that the competition is too fierce, and the continuous prosperity of the hotel industry in the 80s stimulated investment in hotels. .It is estimated that by 1992, more than 20 hotels will open in Hong Kong.Among them, the super-large hotels with more than 400 rooms are: Hong Kong Island Shangri-La with 566 rooms; Panda Hotel with 1026 rooms in Tsuen Wan; hotels with 550 rooms on Lockhart Road, Stewart Road and Shed Road ( Not officially named), a 510-room hotel in North Point.

Therefore, there is no way for the Furama Hotel to make a lot of money when it opens. An 8% annual return (profit divided by the current asset value) is not bad.

Lin Zuhui was not interested in the rate of return of the Furama Hotel, but hoped that his family would have a luxury five-star hotel in Central to demonstrate the strength of the family.

"Lin Sheng, congratulations!" The invited guests congratulated Lin Zuhui one after another.

Today invited many artists, including Jack Cheng, Hong Sanmao, Zhou Runhua, Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Guorong and other top stars of Xiangjiang.To open a hotel, the most important thing is to be famous, so today half of the entertainment circle in Xiangjiang has been invited.

What was more interesting during the period was that Gao Lihong looked at Lin Zuhui in a strange way, but Lin Zuhui was very calm. Some women just pass by, and he didn't take any pictures of them.

In the banquet hall, Li Mingtao, vice president of New Era Hotel, delivered a speech, and then the banquet officially began.

Lin Zuhui's table is full of big names in the business world, Zheng Yutong, Zheng Jiachun, Lee Shau Kee, Li Jiajie, Huang Tingfang, Huang Zhixiang and others.

During the period, Zheng Yutong asked curiously: "The New Era Hotel is in the Hilton Hotel in Manila. It should be very profitable, right?"

Speaking of this, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but feel a little proud, not because of how valuable the Manila Hilton Hotel is, but because his operating methods have been cited as classics by Xiangjiang financial critics.

The acquisition fund was 1200 million U.S. dollars that year, and New Era Hotel only provided 300 million U.S. dollars, and the rest was high-risk financing (loans with slightly higher interest rates) arranged by Japanese-funded financial companies.

"It is estimated that most of the debt can be repaid this year, and next year not only can the cost be recovered, but also a slight profit."

The reason why the profit is so high is that the original large shopping malls of the hotel are leased to the Manila government as a casino.Not only is the rent very high, but it has also driven the development of the hotel industry, with an annual profit of almost 50% (low acquisition cost), making it the rarest and most profitable hotel.

Zheng Yutong and his son showed envy on their faces. There is absolutely no problem with which hotel is now valued at 3000 million US dollars. The profit on the asset book alone has more than doubled.Because the political situation in the Philippines was stable last year, and this year the government is even more vigorously developing the tourism industry.

But there is no way, Lin Zuhui's grasp of the situation is unmatched by Xiangjiang.Even the big hotel group has developed by leaps and bounds in the past few years because of Lin Zuhui's joining.

After everyone chatted for a while, Lin Zuhui greeted the guests with a glass of wine.

After all, as the host, no matter how high the status is, he still has to say a few words to the guests.

Lin Zuhui's status in the entertainment industry is naturally unquestionable. Chow Run Wah, Zhou Xingchi, Li Lianjie, etc., these movie stars are all cultivated by DreamWorks; and now Lin Zuhui is planning "Hong Kong Stream Culture to Revitalize Hong Kong", which has established his reputation in the entertainment industry. In detached status, Sixth Uncle Shao is already inferior to him.

He came to the artist, patted Jack Cheng on the shoulder, and said, "Big star, when are you going to Hollywood?"

The two had some minor conflicts back then, but they no longer took it to heart, and Jack Cheng naturally didn't dare to take it to heart.

"Lin Sheng, I'm overwhelmed. I can't even beat Brother Fa and Master Xing. How dare I go to Hollywood!" Jack Cheng said with a smile.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Hollywood is the bigger stage for stardom. Europeans and Americans don't understand the meaning of our movies, but appreciate our kung fu movies."

Jack Cheng suddenly felt like rushing to Hollywood, but soon calmed down. With the support of Golden Harvest, he is now internationalizing his films.That is to open the international market first, and then enter Hollywood.

After chatting briefly with everyone, Lin Zuhui withdrew and returned to his seat.

He is in a good mood today. The Furama Hotel is the only hotel owned by the Lin family in Hong Kong. Although the Grand Hotel is also a major shareholder, outsiders regard the Grand Hotel as the property of the Kadoorie family.

Lin Zuhui himself is also a person who likes to eat, relax, take a sauna, and sing K in hotels, so he has a hotel of his own, and sometimes he can stay there for a whole day with girls.

Chapter 366 [Sister Hong Kong is beautiful]

9 month 12 day.

At the auction of the Hong Kong government's official land, when the real estate developers saw that the New Times Group and the Sino Group joined forces, their expressions suddenly changed.The two generations of real estate big friends joined forces, and this will not give everyone a way to survive.

Sitting together with Huang Tingfang and his son, Chen Bin and Huang Tingfang said with a smile, "Huang Sheng, today our goal is to wade in another village in Sham Shui, Kowloon. If you want to take pictures of other land alone, please do so!"

Chen Bin understood very well that if New Era Group wanted to take all three pieces of land today, it would inevitably receive crazy offers from everyone. Even if it won, the price would be too high.

New Times Group’s land reserve does not account for a large proportion of official land purchases. It is basically purchased comprehensively through private purchases and auctions, corporate cooperation (such as China Power), land exchange rights, and old building acquisitions. .

Recently, the purchase of agricultural land in the New Territories has been strengthened as a long-term investment. (The nature of the land can be changed later)

Huang Tingfang responded: "I can only try to bid. At this time, the real estate is waiting to see if I can miss it." The implication is that he will bid, but he will not work hard.

The goal of the two companies is only the land in Youyi Village, with an area of ​​20 square feet, which can fully build more than 150 million square feet and nearly 2000 residential units.

Not far away, Wu Guangzhen, the chairman of Wheelock, looked a little unhappy. Originally, he planned to cooperate with Xinhe Real Estate, but Xinhe knew that he was not an opponent, so he went to cooperate with New Times Group.

Since Wu Guangzhen came to power as the chairman of Wharf and Wheelock (1988), he was eager to make achievements in the development site.However, Wharf wants to build Times Square and rebuild Harbor City, so it simply cannot afford funds to develop other projects.Even Lin Zuhui made 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in one go on Wharf.

It doesn't matter whether Wharf Group wants to get back the equity, otherwise it will be hard to tell who is the boss of Modern Containers.

Soon, the auction will begin.

Many real estate agents probably knew that the Youyicun land had little hope, so they placed their hopes on the other two lands, so the auctioneer was very happy today.

In the end, two pieces of land with an area of ​​about 10 square feet were won by Wheelock and Sun Hung Kai respectively.

The auction at the finale was the land of a large luxury residential complex. Of course, it was not a real luxury residence, but a luxury residence in the Shamshuiwa area. Because it was a large residential complex, the supporting facilities were good.

After the auction started, Chen Bin quickly joined the battle. He learned a trick from his boss, which was to calmly raise the placard without revealing any thoughts in his heart.

In the end, everyone still lost to Chen Bin's placard, allowing New Era Group and Sino Real Estate to easily win it at a price of 7 million.

"Including construction costs and interest, the average floor cost is only 1400 Hong Kong dollars. Even with the current property prices in this area, we can still earn 100 yuan per square foot! Huang Sheng, what do you think?" Chen Bin has his own boss information Analyzing it, I naturally feel that I have made a lot of money.

Huang Tingfang also said: "It's definitely a big profit. According to the occupancy in 1992 and all sold out in 1995, it must earn 1000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Bin seriously.Everyone knows that Lin Zuhui has a good vision, and his subordinates must have received the true biography.

Chen Bin followed Huang Tingfang's intention and said, "I don't think it's a problem to earn 1000 yuan per square foot!"

For the developer, they only need to pay a land fee, and the construction fee is settled by bank loans and off-plan housing.It means that this project only needs to take out 7 million yuan, which can become 22 billion yuan in five years, and the annual return rate has exceeded 20%.

Moreover, in fact, the funds are returned in advance, and the average selling price is more than 2500 yuan (estimated to be 3500-4500 yuan), so the rate of return is far more than 20%.

……

In the presidential suite of the Furama Hotel, there are many colorful flowers arranged here.

Hong Kong does not produce flowers, and they are basically airlifted from overseas.

Lin Zuhui was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper with a faint smile on his face.

It turned out that he saw Yuan Liangliang (named Anita) in this year's Miss Hong Kong competition, so he made up his mind, so he asked the bodyguard to invite her to dinner.

I didn't expect it, and I agreed very quickly!

This week is the final of Miss Hong Kong. If people find out that the champion of Miss Hong Kong had a private meeting with the owner of ATV before being elected, it will definitely be good news.

This year's ATV's Asian sisters seem to be incapable. Chen Baolian and Wu Qili are both "tragedy characters" in previous lives, and they can't help each other.Chen Baolian took up the role of making romantic films, and then mixed with the big bosses of the Taiwanese society, becoming the most popular and becoming one of the "Four Crazies"; Wu Qili became Jack's mistress, but Jack was not as generous as Lin Zuhui, and he was so stingy that he hurt others.

Jack is indeed very money-saving. In his previous life, even Lin Jiao had to guard his property for more than ten years before he had the opportunity to come into contact with his property; according to Jack himself, he was worried that Lin Jiao would come to divide the property.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, Lin Zuhui got up and went to the door, and opened the door.

"Miss Yuan, welcome!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and invited Yuan Liangliang in. He looked handsome, but he just wanted to do some nasty things.

At this time, Yuan Liangliang has full of collagen on her face and is very tender;

She has big wavy hair, and she is quite well-prepared in what she is wearing today. A pink dress, matched with her tall figure, looks very beautiful and elegant.

Yuan Liangliang was a little nervous at this time, the person she was with was not simple, she was a legendary rich man in Xiangjiang.When she received the invitation, her mood was very complicated.

In the recent period, she has received invitations from many wealthy people, and she couldn't help but sigh that running for Miss Hong Kong is really a good opportunity to change her destiny.But she did not agree to the invitation, because she wanted to think about those social activities after winning the championship.

However, when Lin Zuhui's invitation came, she agreed without much thought.

Although Hong Kong people know that Lin Zuhui is more romantic, her reputation is very good. The women who date her are either given top-level villas or arranged for careers, becoming a strong woman that everyone envies.

"Mr. Lin, why did you invite me to dinner here?" Yuan Liangliang looked at the flowers arranged in the room with a very intoxicated face.

Lin Zuhui led Yuan Liangliang to visit, and said at the same time: "This is the presidential suite of the hotel, which can be used for dinner. Take a look at these more than 20 kinds of flowers. Only when they are arranged here, they will bloom for you alone."

Yuan Liangliang was lost immediately, the environment here is so good, she wants to live this kind of romantic and wealthy life.Moreover, the room decorated with more than 20 kinds of flowers is really like a fairyland.

Lin Zuhui stared at Yuan Liangliang, secretly thinking that it was so.

It's different to follow her, although it's only temporary, and she can do it without anyone noticing, and it won't affect her future happy life.

"Thank you, Lin Sheng!" Yuan Liangliang's happy and clear voice sounded.

Lin Zuhui nodded, then made a phone call and arranged for someone to serve the food.

"Sit down, let's have a meal together!" Lin Zuhui pulled out the chair like a gentleman and invited.

At this time, Yuan Liangliang could no longer find the southeast and northwest, and sat down feeling dizzy.

Lin Zuhui sat down on the opposite side and said, "I am very optimistic about you winning the Miss Hong Kong championship this time. It's a pity that you didn't participate in our Miss Asia competition!"

Yuan Liangliang didn't know how to answer. Although ATV has started in the past two years, she wanted to be Miss Hong Kong from the beginning.

"Thank you for your encouragement!" Yuan Liangliang said with her head down.

Lin Zuhui immediately said kindly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not that scary, you can't see it, I'm about the same age as you, we have no communication barriers!"

Sure enough, Yuan Liangliang was no longer restrained, and began to talk to Lin Zuhui on her own initiative.

After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and began to serve the food.

"Boss, do you need to serve inside?" A manager asked respectfully.

Lin Zuhui said: "Arrange it at the door, I will greet you if necessary!"

"Ok!"

After the people left, Yuan Liangliang asked curiously, "Is this hotel yours?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Why, do you often come to take care of our business?"

Yuan Liangliang immediately said: "No way, five-star hotels are so expensive!"

Lin Zuhui stood up, personally picked up a piece of shrimp meat for Yuan Liangliang, then picked up the red wine glass, and the two toasted.

"Now that you have met a noble person, you can have such a life every day!"

Yuan Liangliang's face turned red immediately, why did this man show his cards so quickly, should he agree?

Lin Zuhui didn't leave, but raised Yuan Liangliang's chin, took a look, and printed it.

"Woo... woo"

Returning to his seat again, Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Let's eat!"

Yuan Liangliang was overwhelmed by Lin Zuhui's overbearing, bowed her head and said, "Yes."

Next, the two chatted while eating, and Yuan Liangliang finally said, "Lin Sheng?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Yes"

"You're still here to provoke me!"

"What's the problem?"

Yuan Liangliang was immediately blocked and speechless. If there was a problem, she would have to leave now. She seemed very reluctant!

Seeing that things were almost done, Lin Zuhui came to Yuan Liangliang's side again, a gentleman's 'please' gesture, and said: "Let's dance together!"

He only now understands how popular ballroom dancing, which he thought was boring in his previous life, is so popular in this era.Of course, it also depends on who you dance with.

As Miss Hong Kong, she must have trained a little ballroom dancing.

Yuan Liangliang handed her hand to Lin Zuhui, got up slowly, and wrote it down, the two danced to the music.

And Lin Zuhui stared at Yuan Liangliang, as if admiring a treasure.

"Lin Sheng, your eyes are so scary that you want to eat people!" Yuan Liangliang's eyes were already a little blurred, and her body was half held in Lin Zuhui's arms.

Lin Zuhui said: "I'm going to eat you soon!"

Yuan Liangliang let out an 'ah' and said, "Is it too soon?"

Lin Zuhui told this woman how she was conquered by a man within two hours.

First of all, this woman's skin is very good; secondly, this woman's figure is really tall; finally, this woman's smell is really good.

Lin Zuhui leaned on the bed with his arms around Yuan Liangliang who had been tortured miserably.

"It hurts, you lied and said it was very comfortable!" Yuan Liangliang said weakly and coquettishly.

Lin Zuhui's smooth back and delicate texture make people sigh, it's good to be young.No wonder, men are so specific.

"Think about it again, isn't it very comfortable in the end?"

"I will not tell you!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, you will take the initiative to tell me next time!"

"I hate it!"

After a while, Lin Zuhui walked into the bathroom with Yuan Liangliang in his arms, and took a couple bath.
