Hong Kong's new giants

Very good deal.

As for your own cash flow, it is natural to do more things.

After reaching an agreement, John Reid said: "Mr. Lin, we have prepared a dinner for you tonight, and I hope you can come!"

Now that he has become famous on Wall Street, Lin Zuhui naturally doesn't need to hide his head and show his tail.

"Of course!"

……

New York, The Peninsula Hotel.

Citibank actually held the banquet in its 'own' hotel, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but lament that others have their own way of doing things.

Lin Zuhui and Hengjin Investment President George attended the dinner hosted by Citibank.

When he arrived at the scene, Lin Zuhui couldn't help being taken aback. There were quite a few people invited.

John Reed immediately greeted him and said, "Mr. Lin, let me introduce you!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and followed John Reid to start his Wall Street debut.

"This is Mr. Buffett from Berkshire Industries. He wanted to know you very much and took the initiative to attend this banquet!"

Lin Zuhui thought to himself, it seems that he has exposed a lot of strength!However, he believes that Wall Street only knows that he has made a lot of money in foreign exchange and crude oil, but does not know the specific details.Roughly estimated, in the eyes of these people, he only earned 200 billion.

In fact, he has almost earned 400 billion!

Buffett said happily: "Mr. Lin, your Hengjin investment has made a name for itself on Wall Street, but Wall Street has not waited for your arrival. Now you have finally come, and it is an investment that shocked Wall Street!"

John Reid's face turned green, Citibank is so unbearable!Citibank did find Buffett to invest, but others would never invest in such a risky company.On the contrary, a Chinese and a Middle Eastern are both ready to invest.

Lin Zuhui said politely: "Mr. Buffett, compared to your name as the American stock god, we are more famous there!"

Buffett said highly: "You are the god of stocks! In Xiangjiang, if I am called 'Lin Zuhui of Xiangjiang', I will feel very honored!"

The two complimented each other, which attracted people around to listen!

As for Lin Zuhui's name, almost everyone on Wall Street knows it, and he is more famous than Lee Shau Kee's "Asian Stock God" in his previous life.

However, what happened to Lin Zuhui this time also made him understand that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If he wants to hide his wealth, it is not completely possible to hide it.

The family office will show some strength one day, which is obviously not good for him.

In his mind, he thought about entering the banking industry. It seemed that real families would control banks.When you go back to Hong Kong, think carefully about it.

Then John Reed introduced a Middle Easterner and said, "Mr. Lin, this is Prince Walid of the Middle East. He also intends to invest in Citibank!"

Lin Zuhui knew that Citibank would issue a lot of common shares and preferred shares in the past two years, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be the only investor.But it doesn't matter, next year Citibank will issue preferred shares, and he will subscribe again to strengthen investment.

"Mr. Lin, you and I have similar experiences, I think we should be good friends!" Waleed said enthusiastically.

Lin Zuyao said with a smile: "I have also heard about you—Prince Walid. It is said that you bought a lot of real estate in Riyadh. I think your investment is very promising!"

Walid said happily: "I just said, you must be my friend and agree with me! And you have more vision than me. I don't have your reaction speed when it comes to Citibank, but I have already done it tonight. Decided to invest in Citibank with you!"

John Reid immediately cheered up. With the investment of two rich men from Hong Kong and the Middle East, Citibank will get back to some extent.Those nasty Wall Street commentators who say that Citibank is going bankrupt are really blind.

Chapter 375 [Winning]

The next day, Lin Zuhui formally signed a contract with Citibank.

Why did he only buy 4.9% of common shares, because this is the maximum amount of his shares that does not need to be announced according to the law; that is to say, the news of his investment in Citibank does not need to be announced.

It can be said that this investment in Citigroup belongs to the right time and place. The largest bank in the United States is in trouble at this time. It has suffered heavy losses in a series of real estate loans and is in urgent need of funds. The Federal Reserve Board urged it to increase its capital reserves, but Citigroup Efforts by the banks to find more than one billion dollars to invest have gone nowhere.Even the outside media used the news that Citibank was about to go bankrupt as a gimmick.

In this situation, Citibank, which has always been proud, has to bow to the rich Chinese.

However, if you want to invest in Citibank in the future, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to pass the political review.Not only that, but he has now joined a 'rival' - Prince Walid.

If Citigroup issues preferred shares in the future, Waleed's status as the Saudi royal family will undoubtedly give him a lot of convenience; because the United States is bound to get the support of Saudi Arabia if it wants to attack Iraq.

However, Lin Zuhui is not entangled in whether he can continue to invest in Citibank. The real purpose of his investment in Citibank is not a 40% annual rate of return, but to establish a cooperative relationship with Citibank.

Next, Hengjin Investment will still be Lin Zuhui's signature "private investment company", and will not stop investing because of the emergence of the family office.

The investment of the family office needs to be hidden, and the investment is made through various offshore capital processing.

Hengjin investment does not need to be hidden, it can be invested blatantly, just like Lee Shau Kee's investment company in his previous life, which made hundreds of billions in the United States, so there is no need to be overly nervous.

In Lin Zuhui's mind, Hengjin Investment and family office funds will be completely different:

First, the first batch of 200 billion will be injected into the family office. In the future, an integer amount will be injected. The money will be mainly used to invest in high-quality stocks that Lin Zuhui is familiar with in the world, and to invest in some high-quality industries.Money begets money, but it will not be embezzled by Lin Zuhui. It mainly provides monthly living expenses for family members and the operation of the 'family office'.Of course, asset preservation and appreciation are the most important.

Second, Hengjin investment will be passed on to the main family in the future.However, he will inject assets and withdraw assets in the middle, which is unlimited.In fact, it is equivalent to the assets in one's own pocket, and the family office has been entrusted to others.

After staying in New York for three days, he inspected the New York headquarters of the family office again. During this period, he and Buffett and Waleed also had a separate banquet.

Compared with later generations spending money to eat "Buffett's lunch", Lin Zuhui said that he didn't even pay for the meal.The three of them got along well, and everyone has the investment concept of investing in long-term value stocks, and they also shared their own investment strategies.

Taking advantage of Lin Zuhui's investment in Citibank this time, Hengjin Investment has also been officially pushed to the fore, and Wall Street will be amazed by it in the future.

After the incident in New York ended, Lin Zuhui flew to Los Angeles urgently, just in time for Lin Zixia to give birth to a son for him.

It is very strange to say that Lin Zuhui now has five sons and two daughters. His genes seem to be very strong, and there are many boys in his family; compared with another romantic person, He Sheng, he is simply two extremes.

After staying in Los Angeles for five days, Lin Zuhui started his journey back to Hong Kong.

……

Back in Xiangjiang, he immediately joined the acquisition alliance gathering on 'Asia Securities'.

This time, the consortium participating in the acquisition includes Huaxin Pacific, New Times Group, Cheung Kong Group, Kerry Properties, and Peregrine. The leaders of the five companies made an appointment to discuss in the private room of the Clear Water Bay Golf Club.

Regarding Lin Zuhui's sudden business trip to the United States last time, everyone knew that there must be something urgent, so they didn't ask too many questions.During this period of time, Li Chaoren, through his relationship with Wei Li, confirmed that Wei Li had the intention of releasing the offer.

The first topic everyone discussed was, of course, the shareholding issue. Mr. Rong first confirmed the 50% share of Huaxin Pacific.

Therefore, for the remaining 50% of the shares, Lin Zuhui, Li Chaoren, and Guo Huonian's family took 15%, and Peregrine also claimed 5%.

But what surprised Lin Zuhui was that, except for him, no one knew that Mr. Rong would buy back the shares of several people at a premium after privatizing Asia Securities.Everyone thought that after the acquisition of Asia Securities, they could enjoy dividends. After all, this is a high-quality company.

It seems that Mr. Rong has played tricks.

The reason why Huaxin Pacific didn't buy it as a sole proprietorship at the beginning was because it didn't have the strength - capital and contacts; it was so simple to use everyone's strength to acquire Asia Securities, and then find an opportunity to get back everyone's shares.

Then, Mr. Rong said: "What do you think should be the acquisition? Do you want to take 34.5% of the shares first, and launch a full acquisition in February next year?"

His idea is that the highest price in six months will be fully acquired, and launching in February next year can avoid the 'highest price' at the end of July!

This statement was immediately rejected by everyone. Obviously, Mr. Rong is not good at the capital market in Xiangjiang. Huaxin Pacific's success is really the power of the brand.

Li Chaoren said: "It is safer to launch a comprehensive acquisition immediately after taking Weili's shares. After all, after we take over Weili's shares, the Asian securities themselves will rise, and the price in February next year may not be lower than that at the end of July. s price."

Lin Zuhui also added: "That's right, we must be 'fast and accurate'. Maybe the market will rebound in February next year, and if we mention privatization at that time, the price will be higher by several percent!"

Young Master Rong suddenly understood that he was too shallow!

He used to look at Lin Zuhui and others, all of whom carried out various acquisitions and privatizations six months after the plunge. Now it seems that he has not analyzed the peripheral situation.

However, he still defended: "If the United States can't solve Iraq, or the war lasts for a long time, will it affect Hong Kong's stock market?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer, after all, they were not military experts.

However, Li Chaoren replied philosophically: "It is a risk-free acquisition, you can't make the acquisition risky!"

In his opinion, to acquire Asia Securities now, it is completely acceptable to buy Wei Li's shares at a premium of 2% and then to complete the acquisition at a premium of 3% to [-]%.

Lin Zuhui also said: "You think highly of Iraq, I think the United States can end the war in three months!" In fact, forty days, and almost half of the war, the Hong Kong stock market has already developed a violent rise, because it is already Landslide victory.

Everyone was a little surprised by Lin Zuhui's opinion. After all, Iraq, which is also the "third military power in the world", is so fragile?

In the end, everyone decided that once the acquisition was negotiated with Wei Li, after the transaction was completed, they would launch a comprehensive acquisition immediately.

Of course, there is no need for Lin Zuhui to participate in the future, Peregrine is a professional investment bank.

After talking about things, everyone played in the clubhouse until the afternoon, and then dispersed.

……

In the evening, Lin Zuhui came to the Furama Hotel.

ATV's "Legend of the White Snake" crew held a celebration dinner, and the boss of ATV was also invited.Logically speaking, he would not attend a banquet of this level, but he is also a fan of "Legend of the New White Snake" recently, so he agreed to attend.

To be honest, ATV's "Legend of the White Snake" is slightly different from Lin Zuhui's memory, but after all, it has passed the test of the market, so it is still very successful.

The previous "Bao Qingtian" may be the same, but it is still deeply loved by the Chinese. There are still many TV stations in Southeast Asia that have purchased copyrights.

Arriving at the dinner party, Lin Zuhui immediately became the focus of everyone, and several leading actors stepped forward to toast him.

"Lin Sheng, I heard that this script was handpicked by you, isn't it?" Chen Meiqi asked curiously.

"It's the four great love folk stories of our Chinese. I just brought it up for filming." Lin Zuhui said modestly.

"That's pretty awesome, ATV is in your hands, so it's a lot of fun!" Chen Meiqi complimented.

Lin Zuhui humbled a bit!

The two seem to have a story, but neither mentions it.And looking at Chen Meiqi's appearance, it seems that she is very grateful to Lin Zuhui for beating Ma Qingwei back then.

At this time, Zhao Yazhi hurriedly said: "Lin Sheng, I want to say sorry to you!"

Cao Mengde looked at Zhao Yazhi, and asked in a puzzled way: "Why did Ms. Zhao say that? It shouldn't be that our ATV is able to shoot "Legend of the New White Snake" thanks to your joining this time!"

Zhao Yazhi's eyes were a little hot, and he said: "No! I almost turned down such a good script at the beginning, but I heard from the recruiting director that it was you who insisted on me starring in it. So, I really appreciate your attention! "

Lin Zuhui suddenly realized that although Zhao Yazhi's previous serials such as "Shanghai Bund" were also very popular, this time undoubtedly made her more famous, and "Legend of the New White Snake" had better ratings, and it was also a well-known story among Chinese.

What's important is that Zhao Yazhi's worth has skyrocketed at this time!

However, in Lin Zuhui's view, so what if it skyrocketed, the most expensive is only 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and it takes 3 months to shoot a series conservatively.

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Then you have to give us ATV the schedule in the future. I heard that you are very popular in Taiwan. It seems that there are many people robbing you! However, our satellite TV will start broadcasting soon. Increase your influence."

With the influence of "Legend of the New White Snake", then as long as Zhao Yazhi shoots ancient costume romance dramas, such as "Qin Shi Huang and A Fang Nu" and "No Love in Troubled Times", the ratings will be better.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui immediately decided to win over Zhao Yazhi, at any cost...

Zhao Yazhi said happily: "Okay, as long as it is Lin Sheng's hand-picked script, I will definitely agree!"

For the filming of "Legend of the New White Snake", she received a salary of 260 million yuan, which is almost at the same level as Zheng Shaoqiu.Because of this, she also saw the generosity of ATV.

What's more, she has a good impression of the boss of ATV!

Chapter 376 [Take the building again]

In Xiangjiang, there are two rich men who are called "the most capable of winning women's hearts", and they can be called lovers of two generations.

Needless to say the old lover, of course it is the handsome He Sheng!

However, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and Lin Zuhui has long replaced He Sheng's position among Xiangjiang women.

From a woman's point of view, Lin Zuhui has everything an attractive man should have.

In terms of appearance, Lin Zuhui is tall and handsome, with a handsome face, a straight nose, and a pair of deep black and white eyes. He is a standard handsome man.

Lin Zuhui's clothes are very particular, not necessarily because of the high quality of the material or how fine the workmanship is, but that it looks decent and tasteful on him.Lin Zuhui is a gentleman who speaks and behaves in a friendly manner and blends with the trend of the times.If you look carefully, you can also see Lin Zuhui's imperial demeanor and aristocratic temperament!

Lin Zuhui is good at singing and dancing, can sing Mandarin songs, Cantonese songs, English songs, Japanese songs, French songs, elegant and lyrical classical songs, and popular songs with intense rhythm.In a celebrity charity competition, he won the championship with his singing voice.As for dancing, Lin Zuhui was even more in the limelight, and many ladies and ladies were proud to dance with him.

Above, Lin Zuhui feels good about himself!

In fact, maybe he is 'billion rich'!

However, at the dinner party of "Legend of the New White Snake", he was so popular that Chen Meiqi, Ye Tong, and Zhao Yazhi three girls took turns to invite him to dance with him, which aroused the applause of the banquet hall.

Although Lin Zuhui was very popular, the most surprising thing that night was that only Zhao Yazhi took the initiative to leave a call for him.

It seems that it confirmed a sentence of Wu Yunru's previous life!

Of course, considering Daheng Lin's reputation, he would never consider having an affair with a married woman anyway.

Therefore, Prime Minister Cao couldn't do it.

……

On Monday, Lin Zuhui came to work in Huazhi Center early to deal with the backlog of more than ten days.Having said that - as long as he is alive, there will be no great fluctuations in the company under his company; in fact, as soon as Lin Zuhui went to work, a group of high-level executives came to his office to report.

Of course, all aspects were within Lin Zuhui's expectation, they were just a routine report.

Even though he often went abroad or went to the mainland recently, in Lin Zuhui's heart, he would not consider letting New Era Group spend a large amount of funds overseas in the past two years.

Of course he hopes to develop New Times Group globally, but considering the rate of return, Lin Zuhui feels that globalization should not be rushed for a while.Of course, it's not that we don't invest overseas now, but that we need to control it to a certain proportion.
