Hong Kong's new giants

In fact, Lin Zuhui was just talking on purpose.

So he quickly said: "Since you like this place so much, well, the castle here will not be developed outside except for the necessary guests, and you will be the most important guests here."

The three "Ye" girls excitedly declared victory.

As everyone knows, she has fallen into Lin Zuhui's gentle trap.

Then again, with Lin Zuhui's money-making wealth, the Luchen Family Manor is the family's private manor, and Lin Zuhui is very happy.On average, it costs only 5000 million US dollars a year, which is too cheap.

But in this way, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the French. Lin Zuhui has always been kind to others and will not easily do things that offend others.

Everyone was drinking red wine and chatting in the castle, in a very beautiful mood.Monica is 3 months pregnant so it was just a taste.

In the end, Lin Zuhui invited the three of them to the bedroom. The three of them knew that the matter had come to an end, and resistance was futile.At the beginning, this man was only talking about vacation and making friends, but he didn't expect to show his true colors on the first day of meeting.

Monica took the initiative to come into Lin Zuhui's arms, then turned her head and said to the two new friends: "I'm sorry, I'm already three months pregnant, so I want to be the first one."

clever!

Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin had no choice but to take advantage of the other.

Lin Zuhui put his arms around Monica, first French romantic, and then said: "No hurry, you know, I like to play games with you. So, ladies, please leave it to me to arrange it now. The only thing you need to do is : Cooperate, cooperate, or cooperate.”

The three of them gave Lin Zuhui a beautiful look at the same time, and then stood in a row under Lin Zuhui's arrangement.

And Lin Zuhui was like the European colonists in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, sizing up "Lu Li" viciously and savagely.

The three are very distinctive, Monica is Italian, Li Jiaxin is of Chinese-Portuguese mixed race, Kwan Jiahui is Chinese, they are actually three different 'races'.

It was such a coincidence, it really wasn't Lin Zuhui's intention.

The appearance of the three of them is top-notch, and Monica's figure cannot be said to be outstanding. Guan Jiahui is a standard Chinese figure. If she met Lin Zuhui earlier, she might be able to grow again. For example, Li Jiaxin, her size is Far more magnificent than her previous life, that's because she met Lin Zuhui at the best age.

But Monica SIZE is indeed invincible. This woman is changing from youthful and beautiful to sexy and charming, which makes Lin Zuhui a little bit reluctant, but also enjoys it.

After measuring the buttocks of the three of them, it was found that Monica won again.

If he has to take care of Li Jiaxin and Guan Jiahui, Lin Zuhui can only say that Li Jiaxin's figure is also very good, which is the best type among modern Chinese; and Guan Jiahui's words are the best type of classical Chinese.

This night, I didn't live in vain!

The next day.

On Sunday, everyone continued to live a happy and leisurely life in the manor.

At this time, everyone's feelings became deeper, and the three of them were deeply shocked by Lin Zuhui's bravery last night.America's Superman is only on the screen, but the real Superman is beside them.

When he came to the courtyard of the castle, Lin Zuhui stretched and couldn't help howling.

The three women came up from behind, Lin Zuhui hugged Monica and Li Jiaxin from left to right, Guan Jiahui was annoyed that she was one step late.

Of course, Lin Zuhui upholds that everyone has a share, and everyone should give a hug.

While having breakfast, Lin Zuhui suddenly found that something was wrong, Monica was not normal.

"Why don't you wear BAR?"

Monica smiled and said, "I'll wear it later!"

This is the difference between Chinese and Western cultures. Fortunately, the servants in the manor are all women, otherwise they would have been taken advantage of today.

Li Jiaxin immediately educated Monica, a 'disgraceful family style' D-wife: "Monica, there is an old saying in China, that is, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog."

Monica asked with a question mark on her face, "Why did you marry a chicken and a dog?"

"Pfft..." Lin Zuhui and Guan Jiahui almost spit.

Li Jiaxin said angrily: "It's a metaphor! You are my man's woman now, so you have to abide by our family's rules."

Monica understood, then looked at Lin Zuhui, and said, "What rules?"

What kind of rules did Lin Zuhui know? He didn't have many rules at all, so he signaled his spokesperson Li Jiaxin to continue.

Li Jiaxin felt complacent, and for this foreign girl who joined late, she put on the majesty of a senior.

"Although he is a stingy man from time to time, we in Huaxia are more reserved. If your behavior in a vacuum today is seen by other men, it is a very disrespectful expression of him. Moreover, you are so easy to get hammered!"

Monica understood, and said sincerely: "So that's the case! However, others can't see anything like me!"

Li Jiaxin immediately pressed her clothes, and in an instant - the round shape was revealed.

Lin Zuhui straightened his eyes, after all, this kind of metaphor is more refreshing.

"Okay, Jiaxin, our Chinese and Western views are different, so it's better not to be serious."

Li Jiaxin had to give up. Of course, she didn't blame Lin Zuhui for being partial to Monica. In fact, she was very satisfied with Lin Zuhui's style.In the Lin family, there are not too many rules, and everyone can not be subject to too many rules and regulations, as long as they remain loyal to Lin Zuhui.

Monica looked pensive, and soon said seriously: "I will pay attention to it in the future!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, he could tell that Monica was serious.

Chapter 5 and Nine [Club Med]

On Monday morning, Lin Zuhui appeared in a meeting room of an office building in Paris, and he had to admit that his team was strong, so he would not waste any time.Because he had breakfast at the Luchen Family Manor in the early morning, and started to drive to Bordeaux airport at 10 o'clock, and he had already appeared in the office building in Paris at 30:[-].

In the conference room are the high-level executives of the New Era Hotel Department, including President Corbert, Vice President Li Mingtao and others.

In fact, the hotel system structure of New Times Group is very simple:

The 34.5% stake in Shanghai Xiangjiang Hotel (with a market value of more than 230 billion) and the 34.5% stake in Miramar Hotel (with a market value of more than 100 billion) are two heavy assets. Directors have the right to interfere and advise the two hotel groups, after all, they are major shareholders.

With these two assets alone, they are already comparable to the hotel assets of New World Development.In addition, there are the Aircoa Hotel Management Group network in the United States, the Constellation Executive Hotel Group in Canada, the Hilton Hotel in Manila, and the Furama Hotel in Hong Kong.

Easily, let the group's hotel assets become the NO.1 in Hong Kong.

This time everyone gathered in Paris, France, and naturally there was a big move.

After Lin Zuhui sat down, he cut straight to the topic without too much nonsense: "Let me report on the situation of Club Med!"

Corbett immediately said: "Okay, BOSS. Club Med was established in 1950 and is currently the world's largest resort brand. It currently has 91 resorts around the world, mainly in Europe, followed by America, Asia, Africa... 1991 After the death of the founder Blitz in 2.2, the same year 'Desert Storm (Gulf War)' severely affected the tourism industry, Club Med suffered heavy losses... Today, the market value of this company is [-] million US dollars..."

Listening to Corbett's report, Lin Zuhui also fell into thinking. This kind of resort is less profitable than a hotel. It may have an annual turnover of 10 billion U.S. dollars and a net profit of only 1000 million U.S. dollars. It may even be in a loss state.Because of this, the asset value of such enterprises is high, but the market value is very low.

It's not that his net profit is really so low. Assuming that there is no investment in the purchase of heavy assets or large-scale renovations for a few years, then the net profit of one year may reach hundreds of millions of dollars, and the investment can be recovered in a few years. Very good condition, efficient and helpful management of the company management.

But what Lin Zuhui considered was not the rate of return, but the issue of the industrial chain and influence.

First of all, let’s talk about the industry chain. Entering into the resort brand can improve the industry chain of the hotel group in the new era, which will have certain influence and benefits for the entire hotel group; especially Lin Zuhui also wants to create a high-end luxury hotel brand called 'Atlantis' Come out, strictly speaking, this brand also belongs to the "cultural tourism" industry, which is considered to be of the same type as the Club Med brand.

The second is influence. Lin Zuhui can't always "speculate" to make money, which will limit his family's industrial prospects. The biggest limitation is that he will not have much influence in the future. Other countries will reject his investment because he He is just a 'speculator' and 'speculator', who is easy to be thrown eggs. 'Club Med' is the world's largest resort brand with tens of thousands of employees, and after his acquisition, it is equivalent to him supporting more than 1 employees.

After simply listening to the report, Lin Zuhui already knew it well, and he didn't need to read the report, investigate and analyze repeatedly like the masterminds of other companies.

"How is the shareholding situation? How do you plan to acquire?" Lin Zuhui asked.

The implication is that the project is finalized.

In fact, New Era Hotel Group has done a lot of investigation work in the early stage, as well as the pre-plan after the hypothetical acquisition.

So, Corbett said: "The shareholding is very dispersed. The largest shareholder is the current chairman and CEO-Serge, who owns 8% of the shares. However, he has just taken over from his father Gilbert. Trigano's position has not yet been formally mastered by the company."

Lin Zuhui asked curiously: "Isn't the founder Blitz? How did it get to this family?"

Corbett immediately explained that the Trigano family was originally a small family that produced tents. In the 60s, Club Med was just a company that invested in 'tent villages', and the Trigano family was the factory owner that produced tents. Investing in this company, Gilbert Trigano also became the treasurer of Club Med, and later became the chairman of the company's board of directors.

After the founder Blitz died in 1991, Gilbert Trigano served as the CEO concurrently. As a result, the company encountered a 'Desert Storm' and the company's business plummeted. Gilbert Trigano was old after all. He passed it on to his son Serge, hoping that Serge would carry out revolutionary reforms.

Lin Zuhui said: "Since this is the case, let's make a public acquisition. It is a trial offer with a premium of 2%. There is no need to act too hastily."

Now that it is abroad, and it is not a Chinese country, it is better to 'good faith acquisition'.

Corbett nodded and said, "If you just become a major shareholder, it should not be difficult to acquire. But if you acquire a wholly-owned subsidiary and delist it, then it will be somewhat difficult. After all, this is not a mainstream acquisition."

Lin Zuhui thinks that delisting acquisitions are indeed not mainstream acquisitions. In addition, in the eyes of many French people, Club Med is a natural extension of French brands and an enterprise that promotes their art of life and festivals. Therefore, this is not a simple tour. group.Therefore, such acquisitions are still somewhat hindered.

"Just becoming a major shareholder is not enough. I don't really believe in Serge's reforms, so I hope that we must at least master the appointment of personnel and re-recruit the CEO."

Corbett said quickly: "No problem, we must at least achieve this result."

Lin Zuhui added: "If it can be privatized and delisted, it will be a better result. I like to reorganize this brand, make a profit, and then re-list at the most appropriate time."

Currently, the brand is still losing money, so Lin Zuhui hopes that someone can take care of Club Med.

"Okay, boss."

……

The acquisition offer of Club Med by New Era Hotel Group was quickly delivered to the office of the chairman of Club Med and publicized through the French media.

For a time, public opinion in France ignited.

The world's richest man has just robbed a famous second-class wine estate from France, and now he is targeting the French cultural tourism brand - Club Med again.

Of course, compared to the public opinion on the acquisition of the Latour and Luchen family estates, the opposition this time is much smaller.

club med.

Corbett came to Serge's office to discuss the acquisition.

Serge was actually very interested in the offer from New Era Hotel Group. After all, as news of the acquisition spread, the company's stock price immediately soared by more than 5%, equivalent to the 8% equity of their family, which also appreciated a lot.

Moreover, he also knew that the super-rich man in the world was behind the New Era Hotel, and a 20% premium was obviously not enough for a successful acquisition, as there would be higher prices later, so it was best to join new bidders.

So, Serge asked: "President Corbett, for your acquisition, we need board discussion and the approval of the French financial regulator AMF."

Corbett said with a smile: "Of course! I just came here to have a friendly communication with Mr. Serge. We bought Club Med with great sincerity."

Serge immediately asked: "Since you are talking about the acquisition with sincerity, you must only be the major shareholder and not interfere with the company's operations?"

Corbett shook his head, surprising Serge.

"Mr. Serge, we hope to redefine 'Club Med'. After all, the company's situation has been really bad in the past few years, so we hope you will take the money and abdicate."

Sai Qi suddenly said unhappily: "Is there a way for you to manage the club well?"

Corbett said confidently: "We have some business strategies, but we will hire a more suitable CEO to manage this company." The source of his confidence is that the acquisition was proposed by the boss, and the boss seems to be confident That's why he's 'not ashamed'.

As for why he told Serge bluntly, it was because of the need for a "sincere acquisition", and it was what it was.Moreover, Serge cannot decide whether to accept or not. It is up to Club Med's board of directors and shareholders' meeting to decide whether to accept the acquisition.

Serge really could only say bluntly: "Okay! We will organize a board of directors, and we will inform you whether to accept the acquisition or not."

Corbett nodded, and said: "Assuming our acquisition is successful, if President Serge is optimistic, he can also retain some of the shares. We are willing to retain the position of 'Honorary Chairman' for you."

Serge immediately retorted: "Where do you have the confidence to run the club well?"

Corbett said with a smile: "A 29-year-old self-made richest man in the world has this strength in himself. President Serge shouldn't think 'that's just luck'?"

Serge was speechless immediately!

Lin Zuhui is by no means an unknown person in Europe and the United States, especially in the past one or two years, he not only bought eight skyscrapers in Manhattan, but also invested in "Canary Wharf" in the UK. Not a tough record.

What's more, Lin Zuhui enjoys the title of "Asian stock god" and is well-known on Wall Street for his investments in Citigroup, Microsoft, and General Dynamics.

……

After launching the acquisition of Club Med, Lin Zuhui did not choose to sit in charge in person. After all, such an acquisition may take a long time to bear fruit.Maybe the board of directors of Club Med rejects the acquisition proposal, then New Era Hotel Group will raise the offer again and try again; it is also possible to join a third-party competitor halfway, and then bid again.

After all, this is a bona fide acquisition, so the final answer can only be found through quotations and board resolutions/shareholders' meetings.

Chapter 5 and Ten [Financial Freedom]

After a visit in Paris, Lin Zuhui did not return to Hong Kong immediately, but went to London to meet with Richman.

The Canary Wharf project has been redeemed from creditor banks, but the next priority is to communicate with the London government to start the subway extension line as soon as possible.In this way, only companies are willing to move into this area to work.

At present, this project already has eight office buildings with an area of ​​60 square meters, but the occupancy rate is only 40%.Therefore, instead of rushing to build taller buildings, it is to improve the infrastructure and transportation facilities of Canary Wharf.

……

Time flies, and two weeks pass in a blink of an eye.

In mid-July, the summer is hot.

Lin Zuhui is in a good mood recently. London gold reached the liquidation line of US$6 per ounce at the end of June. He did not hesitate to let Hengjin Investment and Octopus Bank slowly liquidate futures and spot positions.

This round of gold futures/spot speculation took a total of about eight months, but the profits obtained were huge.In terms of futures, it is expected to make a profit of 38 billion, and the cost of withdrawal is 48 billion; in terms of spot goods, it is expected to make a profit of about 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, with a profit rate of 16-18%. In eight months, it is several times more cost-effective than lending.

At this time, the USD/JPY index also fell to about 108 points, which greatly increased Lin Zuhui's investment book profits (about 45 billion).

The futures contract is still in progress, and the current profit is more than 10 billion.

Coupled with the sharp increase in the rent of Hengjin Real Estate this year, Lin Zuhui predicts that he will soon have about 150 billion in cash, and it will be after repaying his personal loans.With such a huge wealth, Lin Zuhui has no good investment for a while, but he can continue to buy some familiar US stocks for long-term investment.

Of course, with real estate dividends rolling in, the dividends of New Era Group next year may be as high as more than 30 billion (half for individuals), and the other three listed groups will also enter the return period, and they will also distribute high dividends every year.The annual rental return of Hengjin Real Estate will also be more than 15 billion.
