Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Shiwen's mother, Wang Zuxian, naturally also found that her daughter was not serious and did not interfere. She knew that Lin Zuhui was relatively relaxed with her daughter; instead, she looked at Lin Wenyi and Lin Wenjie curiously while holding her youngest son, and then nodded to Cai Ning and Wang Lingyin, meaning these two children Well written.

Lin Zuhui also discovered that Lin Wenyi and Lin Wenjie were more serious, and the episode just now did not interrupt their train of thought, which made him very relieved.

Lin Wenyi is his eldest son, born of Cai Ning, Australian nationality, he is six and a half years old this year; it can be seen that Cai Ning does not fight for anything, and is also a good person in front of his daughters, acting as Wang Lingyin's right-hand man.

However, Cai Ning is still fighting for children's education. She just hopes to raise a promising son and get Lin Zuhui's approval.

Of course, the Lin Zuhui family has had the biggest 'rule' from the very beginning, that is, Lin Zuhui's career will only belong to the main family.However, in order to appease everyone, what Lin Zuhui promised at the beginning was: before their children grow up, their wealth will not be less than 100 billion; and in the past one or two years, he promised again: if having children is very useful, get his approval, Then they will get his personal support to help them start a business.

Because of this, everyone is working very hard to raise their children, hoping to get more support from Lin Zuhui.

At present, everyone's wealth is more than one billion, and Guan Jiahui is already close to 20 billion; so the goal of [-] billion is actually not far away.

Then it is naturally very important to set further goals for yourself.In the eyes of these women, if they want to be recognized by Lin Zuhui, the first thing is of course that the child should listen to his father, and the second is that the child must be educated from an early age.

After practicing for an hour and a half, the four children picked up their works one after another, and then lined up in front of Lin Zuhui to hand in their homework.Lin Zuhui didn't give negative comments, but only words of encouragement.After all, he is not a professional teacher, so there is no need to comment.

"Baba, Aunt Shuzhen... Aunt Qingxia... When will they return to Hong Kong?" Lin Wenjie asked suddenly.

Lin Zuhui patted his little shoulder and said with relief: "When you come back to Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year, do you miss them?"

Lin Wenjie nodded, talking about the children's voice of truth, kindness and beauty, thinking about the two younger brothers.

Seeing that Lin Wenjie is so sensible, all the daughters are also envious. Lin Zuhui doesn't like Lin Wenjie who is the eldest son and is so sensible.

To be honest, the girls couldn't have conflicts with each other, because there was a strong man who was afraid of being accused of destroying the unity of the family and falling out of favor in the future.

But on the issue of children's education, everyone is trying their best to cultivate them, hoping to get more attention.The darker thoughts in my heart may also have been born.

However, as Wang Lingyin served as a director of New Era Group and began to get in touch with Lin Zuhui's core business step by step, everyone completely gave up.

Now that Lin Wenjie, the "eldest son", is so good, everyone can only be convinced.

Practice calligraphy in the morning, and in the afternoon, Lin Zuhui, the "Kid King", leads everyone to outdoor activities, football, and games.

……

The next day, Monday.

In the morning, Lin Zuhui came to the office of New Times Group and read the newspaper.

If there is any explosive news recently, it has to be the 'Human Meat Char Siu' incident.

When Lin Zuhui watched it, he felt that he would never eat barbecued pork or go to a small shop for dim sum again until he forgot about it.

The cause of the incident was that there was a couple in Xiangjiang who ran a char siu restaurant. Because the business was very good, they planned to open a branch. After opening the branch, they hired a woman to look after the shop.Since the male owner often went to the branch to inspect, he fell in love with the woman who looked after the store every time he came and went.Xiao San is not reconciled to the status quo, and dreams of being in power one day.Coincidentally, the original partner also discovered the husband's anomaly, and finally discovered the tricks of the two.In a quarrel, Xiaosan killed the original partner, put the original partner in brine, and sold it as barbecued pork.

As a result, a pair of young people couldn't help opening it because they smelled a black bag. They were frightened and called the police.Immediately, many people in Hong Kong rushed to the hospital to have their stomach checked and felt sick.

This happened at the end of July. Xiangjiang is small. After this incident, it can be said that everyone knows that barbecued pork has almost become a taboo.

If there is no accident, this matter should be made into a movie; as for the murderer, the sentence will not exceed ten years, because she insists that she killed by mistake.

After reading the newspaper for a while, assistant Li Ke reminded him that it was time for the meeting.Every Monday, New Times Group has a high-level meeting, even if Lin Zuhui is not in the company, it will still be held.

New Times Group is no longer a pure real estate company, but a comprehensive group company, so this meeting discusses all fields.

In the conference room, all senior executives quickly reported the work they were responsible for. They had sorted out their ideas and drafts on Saturday, so that the meeting could be more efficient.

During the period, Lin Zuhui asked and commented on every high-level report, and the efficiency was equally high.

After this agenda was finished, Lin Zuhui said: "The 'bubble' in the Hong Kong real estate market is gradually forming. Although there is no immediate crisis of bursting, we have to beware of two possibilities: one is that certain events or circumstances cause the economy of Hong Kong to take a turn for the worse. Or it may cause great political or economic unrest in Xiangjiang; the second is a sudden surge in interest rates."

Everyone's expressions became serious. The boss, known as the stock god, naturally had a very precise grasp of the general trend.

Lin Zuhui continued: "Of course, the most likely situation is that the 'bubble' slowly deflates."

At this time, Yuan Tianfan said: "What the boss means is that because the housing prices have risen too fast, citizens are dissatisfied, and the government stepped up intervention, which led to real estate adjustments?" He doesn't like investing in real estate, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the real estate market.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "That's the reason! Of course, I'm not talking about our real estate. After all, we don't need to worry about real estate."

Chen Bin immediately responded, "The boss hopes that we can enter new fields or add new investment projects. After all, we have sufficient cash flow."

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Yes! You are all high-level executives of the group, and your vision must not be limited to the present and your own three-acre land. From now on, I hope you can make good investment suggestions for the company, and you can contact me at any time To communicate. I would like to remind you that Europe, America and the mainland may be more suitable for my current development. The economies of Europe and the United States cannot remain sluggish. Maybe this year and next year will turn around. Needless to say, the mainland, as a super emerging market, has wireless investment opportunities. "

Everyone nodded their heads and followed Lin Zuhui for a long time. Everyone knew: in the past, because the company was still small, with the talent and energy of the boss, he could decide many investment directions; Instruct everyone to invest in every direction.

Therefore, this can be regarded as a kind of decentralization!

In fact, Lin Zuhui is not really delegating power, but is cultivating the 'vision' and 'leadership' of these subordinates.It is indeed because the scale of the company is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't even ask him to propose projects with an investment of hundreds of millions. What if the company becomes a trillion-dollar club in the future?

From now on, he will slowly only focus on big projects, and the signing of projects worth hundreds of millions is not worthy of him.

After the meeting, the high-level executives felt that the company was a little different. Unknowingly, New Times Group had become a behemoth of Xiangjiang, second only to HSBC in market value, and its profit exceeded HSBC for three consecutive years.

And not all of the net profit comes from Heung Kong Real Estate. Hong Kong real estate currently accounts for 60-65%, and as other projects start to make profits, the proportion of Heung Kong Real Estate will decrease.

In terms of debt, although the group has 210 billion in debt, everyone doesn't care about it at all.The value of the company's investment in the US stock market alone has already reached US$7.5 million (at a cost of US$4.5 million), which is 60 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The cash on the company's account is also very sufficient, reaching just over HK$60 billion.

After the meeting, Chen Xiaofen came to Lin Zuhui's office.

She asked cautiously: "Boss, do you want to speed up the sales of the property to avoid adjustments?"

Lin Zuhui vetoed: "Don't be nervous, follow the plan. In my opinion, the stock market is so hot, there should be a wave of real estate market, and then we will consider the plan to speed up the sale of properties."

Chen Xiaofen nodded. If the boss hadn't said what she said in the conference room just now, she would not have made this suggestion; moreover, the boss would always sell a large number of properties before the crisis, and withdraw cash in advance, making more money for the company. A lot of money.

"Boss, I got news that the He Shili family seems to be interested in selling the ancient castle villa at Repulse Bay No. 35!" She knew that the boss likes big villas. After all, there are so many women and more children in the future, and the boss will not be short of money.

When Lin Zuhui heard the words, he also thought about it. As a real estate developer, they would get first-hand information about any good properties on the market, so if they were to speculate and buy a house, they would be one step ahead of ordinary people.However, he has a concern now, that is, he always buys villas, and buys a lot, so he is easy to be envied by others.

After all, ordinary citizens are rich-haters.

After a while, Lin Zuhui said: "You go and talk about it for me, but don't say that I bought it or the company bought it. I will have someone contact you later, and you will complete this procedure for her."

Chen Xiaofen was taken aback for a moment. She was worried that Lin Zuhui would not understand the value of No. 35 Villa in Deep Water Bay, and she would not be willing to give it to her lover, so she said, "The villa occupies a large area, similar to your No. 75 Deep Water Bay. It is estimated to cost more than 2 million yuan. !"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "Just contact me!"

Chen Xiaofen suddenly had nothing to say, she underestimated her boss too much.

In fact, as far as Lin Zuhui’s personal wishes are concerned, he likes real estate very much. It may be the influence of his previous life (he bought a house in his previous life, but he envied luxury houses). Happy in hand.

However, he can't do things that are different from his status. If his net worth is only tens of billions, there is nothing wrong with investing in properties; but now that he is worth hundreds of billions (on the surface), if he invests in such properties, there will be bad things impression.

That's why he planned to put Villa No. 35 in Deep Water Bay under his lover's name.

At this time, those women of his have the strength to eat them, so of course they have to borrow money.And this villa, worth more than 2 million at this time, will be worth at least 20 billion in the future, and there is still a great potential for appreciation.

For ordinary residential buildings in Xiangjiang, the appreciation potential is generally only about 5 times (calculated at the peak in 2015).

Chapter 515 [A good horse also has to turn around]

At noon, I had dinner with Guan Jiahui at the family restaurant - Furama Hotel.

The current occupancy rate of Furama Hotel is about 90%, and the annual profit is about 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The return rate is only about 6% of that of the office building. Therefore, it is reasonable to demolish and rebuild the office building after the millennium.

Of course, the Lin family cannot live without a five-star hotel in Central, which would be very inconvenient.

There are at least two five-star hotels on top of the Central Station of the Airport Railway, so Lin Zuhui is not worried.

In the late 80s, a five-star hotel appeared in Xiangjiang, which only occupied part of the floor of a skyscraper, such as the two five-star hotels in the Pacific Center in Admiralty.The advantage of this five-star hotel is 'high', and the room has a good view.Of course, this is also related to Xiangjiang Central.

Lin Zuhui and Guan Jiahui were dining in the hotel restaurant. Guan Jiahui's eyes and behavior were all expressions of admiration and admiration for his man, so that Lin Zuhui took it for granted.

"Monica asked me to go to Italy, and I happened to be on a business trip to Europe again!" Guan Jiahui blinked her big eyes, and her beautiful eyebrows moved very agilely.

Monica also came to Xiangjiang last month to deliver guns. Lin Zuhui asked Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin to take her to Xiangjiang. It seems that there is a comrade-in-arms.

"Then let's go," Lin Zuhui said.

These women all like to travel and go abroad at least ten times a year.

Like Wang Zuxian, she will take her children to Canada for vacation recently to get together with her parents.

Then, Lin Zuhui told about the Villa No. 35 in Deep Water Bay, and Guan Jiahui was suddenly full of surprises.However, when she heard that [-] million yuan was required, Guan Jiahui clicked her tongue, it was a huge investment.

"Now more than 400 million luxury houses are tightened by the bank, so even if it is calculated at 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, the down payment needs to be at least 4% - 1 million. I have no money, husband!"

In the first half of the year, the price of luxury houses rose sharply, which led to the rise of ordinary houses, so the Hong Kong government took action, that is, to let the banks tighten the mortgage for luxury houses above 400 million.

Seeing Guan Jiahui acting like a little girl, Lin Zuhui didn't get goosebumps, the two are still in love.And while this woman is acting like a baby, she also loves money by nature.

"How much down payment can you get together?"

"5000 million! Unless those ordinary houses are sold, I can buy them with all the money."

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "I will lend you 6000 million, and you can buy it first. As for when the ordinary houses will be sold, I will arrange for you later!"

Guan Jiahui continued to pretend to be poor: "Once the ordinary house is sold, I will have to pay a lot less rent. At that time, the housing mortgages in Singapore and Thailand will be so overwhelming that I can't breathe."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "I will arrange more for you next year, so what's the rush!"

Guan Jiahui smiled suddenly, extremely elegant, as if she was talking about romance, not about things full of money.

In her opinion, it has been 1.5 million (invested in Microsoft) for two consecutive years. If more arrangements are made next year, it may be [-] million, so she is happy.

Lin Zuhui couldn't bear it, and said to Guan Jiahui: "I will lend you 1 million, and you will take another 5000 million to buy Henderson Land shares."

Lin Zuhui is 100% sure about buying Henderson shares.

First, the broader market will rise by 4%, currently over 7300 points, and will reach over 11000 points by the end of the year, a surge of more than 100% throughout the year.

Second, the market value of Henderson Land is only in the early 350 billion, which is far below the net asset value (at least 900 billion net value), and the market value of Henderson Land is long-term low.It's hard to get investors to favor a company that doesn't pay a dividend, or pay a small amount, without revaluing its assets.

Third, Hengjin is about to release its annual report (profits rose by at least 1992% in 1993/50), and Lee Shau-kee will definitely increase the market value (distribute high dividends, revaluate assets) under the circumstances of the stock market skyrocketing, and then rights issue Raise funds, issue bonds, and raise a large amount of funds.

Combining these reasons, the stock of Hengjin Real Estate will increase by more than 100% in the next four months.

Guan Jiahui's eyes lit up, and she understood that this was a small trouble for her, and immediately said: "Thank you husband! Don't worry, if you make money, I will pay you back the 1 million; moreover, I will never talk about buying Henderson Land shares." It was you who told me."

He's still a little clever, if he dares to leak it out, Lin Zuhui won't be able to deal with such small matters in the future.

However, Lin Zuhui still said calmly: "I didn't say it at first, it's your own decision! The borrowed money must be returned to me as soon as possible."

Guan Jiahui gave Lin Zuhui a coquettish look. She knew that Lin Zuhui was not reluctant to part with 1 million, but worried about causing family conflicts.

"Well, I dare to mess around!"

Three days later, Guan Jiahui's investment company won Deep Water Bay No. 2.65 at a price of 35 million.The reporters moved upon hearing the news, but this time the transaction was relatively confidential, and it was purchased by Guan Jiahui's investment company, so the reporters returned without success.

……

In the first ten days of August, Hengjin Investment's foreign exchange position was successfully closed, with a profit of 8 billion and a withdrawal of funds of 56 billion;

At the same time, Octopus Bank's gold spot positions were also closed, with a profit of 16 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was less than expected, because London gold fell rapidly after rising to 409 US dollars per ounce.

As for the liquidation of spot positions, Xiangjiang's plate is not too big, and the daily trading volume is only three to four tons.

The daily trading volume of three to four tons does not mean that there is so much gold. Many gold bars are traded repeatedly, so it is really difficult to close the spot position.Fortunately, the cost of Octopus Bank is low, even if it falls further, it can still make a lot of money.

Because of the massive shipments of Octopus Bank, the spot gold price of Xiangjiang was much lower than that of London gold, causing a lot of commotion.

But who cares!

The "accumulated loss" of Octopus Bank has been reduced to 21 billion Hong Kong dollars (when it was taken over, the accumulated losses of the two banks were more than 50 billion), and it is expected that all losses will be turned into profits in 1994, which is enough to shock the industry.

Originally, according to market commentators and experts, Octopus Bank needed to wipe out its accumulated losses in 1997. This was due to Lin Zuhui's good reputation.

In fact, these people completely underestimated Lin Zuhui's strength and reputation. Octopus Bank's deposits have been rising steadily, and its loan business is also doing well.Even without this investment in spot gold, Octopus Bank would have turned a profit in 1996 ahead of schedule.

At this time, the revenue and net profit of Octopus Bank, if calculated as a listed company, should be able to be squeezed into the ranks of blue chips.

After a brief inspection of the Octopus Bank, Lin Zuhui handed over the matter to the management. It is not the time to "lose"; a bank must have a reputation, and reputation is accumulated over a long period of time, so Octopus Bank is still step by step development of.

……

DreamWorks.

Lin Zuhui, who hasn’t been to DreamWorks for a long time, will always find time to visit recently to check the preparation progress of “Resident Evil”; DreamWorks is equivalent to a transformation, and will strive towards the benchmark of Xiangjiang Films in the future, and may shoot once or twice a year Excellent movie.

If it is a good movie, it will never lose money; to give a simple example, Li Lianjie’s filming of Fist of Fury in his previous life, Xiangjiang’s box office was only 1500 million Hong Kong dollars, but it sold DVDs and Blu-rays in Europe and the United States, and the sales volume was a full 1600 million U.S. dollars. .

Therefore, the income of a film comes from multiple channels; as long as it is a good work, not to mention making money, there is still no problem with capital preservation.

Lin Zuhui looked at the manuscript in his hand and said, "The script is almost done, and I'm quite satisfied. Is the budget out yet?"

Pan Cheng immediately said: "According to your request, it is estimated to be 1200 million US dollars. There is no exact budget yet, but the difference will not be too much."

Almost, the first part of Hollywood's "Resident Evil" in the previous life was almost 4000 million US dollars.But that is the 21st century, and with the high salaries in the United States, it can be filmed for 1200 million US dollars now, and it can be seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

However, Lin Zuhui still said: "The shooting should be better, and it's okay if the budget is exceeded. After all, this is our first transformational work. I'm not afraid of losing money, but I'm afraid of embarrassment."

Pan Cheng nodded and said, "Well, for props and special effects, we also hired an American team as a staff member, which will definitely change the bad impression of Xiangjiang science fiction films."
