Hong Kong's new giants

It is indeed a little expensive, 5000 million pounds is almost the same!

But others are not stupid, knowing that LEIT Group hopes to acquire, so as to enter the European retail industry, and at the same time introduce Harrods boutique department store to Asia.

In particular, the introduction of Asia is very beneficial to the LEIT Group.

Lin Zuhui asked again: "Assuming that after the acquisition, is there a candidate for the CEO?"

Chen Shiwen immediately said: "The original CEO, Joseph, should be competent. He is not a native of the Burton Group, but has worked in Harrods for more than ten years."

Lin Zuhui nodded, indeed this is the best candidate, because he is familiar with the European retail industry.As for the loss in the early stage, this has nothing to do with the CEO. After all, it may be that the general policy of the Burton Group is wrong, and it is also related to the supposed economic sluggishness in the past two years.

"Okay, I will formally discuss the acquisition with the Burton Group tomorrow!"

It must be acquired. Once this department store is won, let alone turning it into a profit, there are many other benefits, such as:

First, after a few years of operation, it can go public, and then use this listed company as the flagship of the LEIT Group in Europe to continue to make acquisitions.

Second, introduce Hong Kong, Taiwan Island, and Singapore, but it is not suitable to introduce the mainland in the short term.

Thirdly, through this department store, LEIT Group can also work hard in the retailing of European and American brands.

……

Returning to his suite again, Lin Zuhui walked into the bedroom, Monica was still sleeping very soundly. Yesterday Lin Zuhui used his housekeeping skills and communicated with this "ball flower" several times. Lin Zuhui didn't let her go until Monica begged for mercy.

Sitting on the edge of the comfortable bed, Lin Zuhui was good at brushing Monica's hair. This woman is the pinnacle of beauty, and the most important thing is that she is very durable.

In her previous life, Monica became popular with "Legend of Sicily" at the age of 36. At that time, her appearance was also very high: wearing a black skirt and stockings, walking in the crowd, attracting the attention of all men.As soon as she sat down and took out a cigarette, there were countless men courting her - lighting a fire for her.

If it wasn't for the fact that Monica is still unknown, there would be his role in picking up the leak. I don't know how many men are staring at her!

"Lin, you're really good!" Monica opened her eyes and said convincingly.

Lin Zuhui was very happy when he was praised, maybe this praise is very important to a man, it is a great honor!

"How about going shopping together?" Lin Zuhui suggested.

Speaking of this, women don't know how tired they are. Although Monica had a painful expression on her face when she got up, she still swaggered and began to dress in front of Lin Zuhui.

BIG!

After a while, the two got into a Rolls-Royce and began to shuttle around London.The Lin family office owns more than 20 luxury cars worth about 5000 million in the six major cities of Zurich, London, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Vancouver.

This is the life of the top rich. Lin Zuhui has broken away from the level of the four major families in Xiangjiang, and has been promoted to a world-class family, of course only limited to wealth.In terms of interpersonal relationships... Of course, these are not enough, but he is still young and has enough time to deepen his global connections.

Arriving at a Harrods boutique department store, Lin Zuhui walked in with Monica. The place is indeed very luxurious, with high-end fur leather, Persian carpets, Chinese silk and other luxury goods, but unfortunately there are not many people shopping.

In fact, this is understandable, most people tend to buy clothes when shopping, and the luxury goods here are obviously not commonly used things.

Monica picked out a piece of leather, and it felt like a lady when she put it on, and she came out sexy immediately.

"How about it?"

"Not for you!"

Lin Zuhui said decisively.What he likes is pure Monica, and he also likes sexy ones, but only in the bedroom.

Monica seemed to understand why Lin Zuhui was so decisive. Instead of objecting, she took off the leather and handed it to the clerk.

"Sir, as long as you are not a gentleman at all!" The female saleswoman was upset. She clearly saw that Monica liked it very much, and the deal was about to be completed, but she did not expect the Asian to veto it.

Lin Zuhui smiled and didn't refute, he didn't want to argue with a salesperson.

But I didn't expect that the salesperson didn't seem to intend to let Lin Zuhui go like this, and continued: "You Asians are not romantic at all, and you are even a little selfish towards girls. Beautiful lady, I hope you can see their true colors!"

Now Lin Zuhui was a little unhappy, this salesperson must be crazy!

"Miss, I am also in the retail industry. Today I will tell you a place where you have failed very much. If couples come to the store to buy clothes, you must not ignore the opinions of the other party. Because more than half of girls wear new clothes. I want to gain the approval of my lover."

"Also, I'm about to become your boss, you did a stupid thing today!"

Now that's all right, the salesperson in her thirties panicked and asked quickly, "How did you become my boss?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and turned to leave. Monica immediately took his arm, leaving the salesman feeling anxious.

When he saw Lin Zuhui with his bodyguards, and he was so imposing just now, the salesperson's mood was like mixed feelings, unbelief, trust, and worrying about gains and losses.

"The way you handled things just now is really a gentleman and very good, I like it very much!" Monica hung on Lin Zuhui and said with a look of admiration.

Lin Zuhui enjoys Monica's admiration and dependence. This woman is so powerful, no wonder she can only shoot that kind of movie!

The same is true for Li Zhi, who only shoots those kinds of movies, and no director asks them to make other ones.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui felt that he still couldn't get along with Monica for too long, which would consume his body too much.Although his body is very good, but after all, he has a real body of steel.

"Don't you think I'm scaring that salesperson?" Lin Zuhui asked.

Monica immediately said: "That's not important, the important thing is that your refutation is very well-founded! Of course, I think you are scaring others. But this is also good, let her feel uneasy these days and pay for her mistakes !"

It seemed that he had settled it by himself, Lin Zuhui thought proudly at this moment, just now he didn't like Monica wearing leather fucks, this woman gave up her favorite clothes without saying a word; and in the confrontation with the salesperson, Monica was He was completely on Lin Zuhui's side.

This woman is very good!

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "You are wrong! If the latter sentence is not true, I will not argue with her!"

Well now, it was Monica's turn to be surprised, and she said in disbelief, "You really know how to buy a high-end department store? Oh my god, it's unbelievable!"

This misunderstanding was a bit big, and Lin Zuhui explained it briefly.

Monica suddenly realized that this is the case, the salesperson is really miserable!

"You're not really fired, are you?"

Lin Zuhui thought for a while, and then said: "I will not interfere with such trivial matters, but I will express the precautions in this regard to the president! And I believe that the salesperson, when she finds out that her boss has really changed, she will Lesson learned! Maybe she will have a next time, but I believe she will not have such good luck."

Monica nodded and said, "You are really outstanding! But, can you tell me your story tonight, I need to know more about you!"

Now she only knows that Lin Zuhui is a top rich man in Xiangjiang, she doesn't know anything else, so she is very confused.

"Of course, we'll discuss it under the covers tonight!"

"Oh, you strong-willed guy, you are not allowed to treat me like this!"

The two flirted openly and frequently attracted the attention of passers-by.

But Lin Zuhui is not worried. His security team is very reliable. Currently, the security team is under the management of the family office.And as early as two or three years ago, Lin Zuhui not only poached people from the Flying Tigers, but also recruited Gurkha soldiers, and no longer fully trusted the people on the opposite side.

The reason is simple, the opposite interpersonal relationship may be complicated.

The loyalty of Gurkha soldiers is world-renowned. The important thing is that their interpersonal relationship is very simple. They only need to have two holidays a year, and the rest will protect their masters 24 hours a day.

Of course, Lin Zuhui's bodyguards include Gurkha mercenaries, Flying Tigers, and people from the mainland.Everyone's interpersonal relationship will be reviewed regularly to avoid internal responses.This kind of thing happened in the rich bodyguard.

Chapter 391 [Fiery real estate]

On Monday, the negotiations with the Burton Group went relatively smoothly. Seeing Lin Zuhui's insistence on bidding 5200 million pounds, the Burton Group did not sit back and raise the price.They just want to get rid of this money-losing department store. It is a gift from heaven to have a Chinese take over.

Lin Zuhui didn't worry too much. If the LEIT Group wants to really expand, it can only go through this kind of mergers and acquisitions. The century-old European brands with excellent performance cannot get the turn of Chinese-funded companies.

Especially the French national treasure brand, it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to acquire it, unless the brand is losing money all the year round, and there are not many locals to compete, it may be approved by the government, such as the French 'Pondo' luxury brand in the hands of Dickson Poon. product brand.

You know, after Gallic Chicken's 'Latour' was acquired by the British, it caused a great uproar, and then Gallic Chicken tried its best to buy back the national treasure red wine brand.

Therefore, it is very difficult to acquire a century-old European brand.The acquisition of this department store does not require the approval of the London government, and the procedures are relatively simple!

After the price was negotiated, the LEIT Group dispatched a team to audit the 'Harrods Boutique Department Store' before signing the contract formally.However, Chen Shiwen, the president, will naturally take care of the rest of the matter.

In the next two days, Lin Zuhui conducted the recruitment of senior staff at the London headquarters of the LEIT Group, and selected three senior staff; one of them, an Englishman named Ian, was appointed by him as the vice president of the LEIT Group, and was specifically in charge of Europe affairs.

The main battlefield of the LEIT Group's business is still Asia. The reason why Lin Zuhui let it develop in Europe is because this is the center of fashion in the world. He hopes to bring the advantages of Europe to Asia.

The development of two brands, Harrods Boutique Department Store and Ouchi Secret Agent, is aimed at promoting business growth in Asia. As for Europe itself, it is only hoped that it will not lose money and have a good long-term stable profit.

……

Time flies, and ten days pass in a blink of an eye.

Thursday, November 3.

In the office of Huazhi Center, Lin Zuhui stood in front of the window, looking at the 'Long Dragon' under the 'Twin Towers', frowning.

Those queuing up had heard that New Times Real Estate's "Scenery Garden" would be launched within a few days, and immediately there was a long queue at the sales office of Huazhi Center Building, the headquarters of New Times Group.

After a while, Chen Xiaofen walked into Lin Zuhui's office and said anxiously, "Boss, from yesterday to today, we have put up notices many times to persuade citizens to leave, but those people have no intention of leaving at all. It means fighting."

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "No, it's easy to cause accidents by ostentation! You should immediately contact the police to come forward, and you must not go on like this!"

Chen Xiaofen nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

The real estate market exploded!

In March 1991, the Xiangjiang property market was gaining momentum, and the rising trend was sharp, especially the well-equipped large-scale private housing estates became popular, including Whampoa Garden, Taikoo Shing, Kornhill Garden, Xinghua Village, Telford Garden, etc. , especially the property prices of Taikoo Shing and Whampoa Gardens have risen sharply from 3 yuan per square foot to 2 yuan per square foot since the end of February.

The "Sceneway Garden" of New Times Real Estate is the last large-scale private housing estate along the subway line, and is very popular with the public.

However, the sales period of New Era Real Estate is next Friday, how could it be possible to sell ahead of time just because these people lined up, it would be messy.

At this time, the downstairs of Huazhi Center was full of crowds, and from time to time, there were members of the association staring at each other.However, almost all the people in the team are real estate speculators from Xiangjiang, and they also have backgrounds.

What's more, if you offend the public, the members of the club will definitely not get any benefits.Back then, a scuffle broke out because the club jumped in line, and the result was that the club was beaten to pieces, which shows how terrifying the crazy crowd is.

"Brother, are you going to flip the house, or use it yourself?" A young man in the crowd said to the older brother in front.

I don't know when the queue will end, so at this time, the teams are inquiring about each other's situation or reaching a deal.

"I'm part of the real estate speculators, can't I just mind my own business!" The 30-year-old strong man seemed dissatisfied with the young people asking more, and said sternly.

In fact, he planned to buy his own house, but the reason why he was able to know the news in advance was thanks to a relative who worked in New Era Real Estate.

Young people are the real real estate speculators, and they are of a team nature. Although they are young, their vision is very vicious.

"Brother, I have no other intentions. I just want to make a deal with you. If you can win a unit, I will immediately buy it at a price higher than 8 Hong Kong dollars. Brother, if you think about it, you will line up , spend a few days of effort, you can earn 8, what a bargain!"

The brawny man showed a heart-wrenching expression. They had a house to live in, but they wanted to change to a slightly better one.However, the 8 Hong Kong dollars is obviously very tempting, more than a year's salary.Besides, it is not necessary to change the house in Huijing Garden.

However, he soon remembered his relative who worked in real estate. He highly praised the house in Sceneway Garden, saying that all aspects of the equipment in this community are high-quality in a large housing estate in Xiangjiang, and there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

"Not for sale!" the brawny man gritted his teeth and said.

The young man was already happy when he saw the strong man's heart, because he was confident that he could earn at least 25 yuan in one month from one unit.

But the big man was suddenly determined, which made him very regretful.

"Brother, this is my business card. If you have made up your mind, you can call me anytime!"

"Know it!"

Such situations happen frequently among the crowd, and Xiangjiang has set off a real estate speculation frenzy.

Due to the active property market, real estate developers in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories have sold out many properties in an instant, and the property prices have risen rapidly; even for properties that have not yet been registered and put on sale, there is already a queue of people waiting at the sales office, lest the opportunity be lost in an instant passed away.

At around 10:[-] in the morning, a large number of JCs appeared in Huazhi Center. They began to disperse the crowd, and the people who lined up reluctantly left. JC's eviction is still very effective, and New Times Real Estate has posted announcements many times to persuade them to leave.

Lin Zuhui looked at the crowd driven away by JC, and he felt relieved. It really made these people queue up for seven or eight days. Some people didn't buy it by then, and the resentment would be even greater. It's better to drive away early.

After a while, Liang Zhenxun walked in, holding a report in his hand, and handed it to Lin Zuhui respectfully.

"Boss, the latest asset revaluation report is out!"

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

Lin Zuhui asked again: "How active is the real estate market outside?"

Speaking of this, Liang Zhenxun said vividly: "It's so active! In social places, everyone is talking about property prices and exchanging experience in property speculation. Bank mortgage departments, law firms, and real estate agents are all very busy. Some real estate agents Merchants are even more busy from nine o’clock in the morning until the early hours of the next day in order to earn more commissions. I estimate that spot speculators account for about 55% of the market, and off-the-plan speculators may be as high as 70%.”

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui didn't know whether he was happy or happy!

Actually a little sad!

This made him more determined to "rejuvenate Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture", "rejuvenate Hong Kong with comics" and "rejuvenate Hong Kong with traditional Chinese medicine".

Of course, the dividends in the real estate market should be earned and earned more.

Otherwise, where does his strength come from, worrying about the country and the people!

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui carefully looked at the "New Era Group Assets Revaluation" information.

The net asset value has reached 828.6 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Very high-quality assets. If the office building market hadn't improved much since the collapse in [-], New Times Group's assets would have been even higher.

New Times Group is now a well-deserved overlord of real estate, which means that in a year or two, Lin Zuhui will be put on fire.

In the previous life, it was Li Chaoren who stood in front of the major real estate developers, but in this life, it became Li Chaoren who stood in front of the major real estate developers.

But in any case, when the Hong Kong government intends to crack down on real estate developers, the major real estate developers will be very united.
